Social media went haywire on Tuesday when some news blogs and facebook users in calabar went online to report the tussle between the police and the navy. The incident according to news reports started around 5pm when some naval officers refused to stop when the traffic light showed the red light. At that point the police traffic officer in charge went over to the naval officers and in stead of the naval officers to admit their fault they went further to beat up the police officer. In response the police called for backup and the Navy also did same. Eventually a full blown conflict arose and government properties were destroyed. Sadly some people were critically wounded. Now this is my candid opinion on this matter. 1. It is only in Africa you'll hear such news reports of military and para military agencies fighting themselves. The military always consider themselves as Semi gods. Once a person puts on a military uniform in Nigeria he expects everyone around him to worship him. As a result some of them find it very difficult to accept their mistakes and short comings. In this case, the naval officers clearly broke the law. But due their inflated self ego they find it an insult on their "uniform" to accept correction from a low "life" traffic officer. Imagine what could have happened if at that moment when they refused to obey the traffic light and accidentally another vehicle came. You can imagine the terrible accident that would occur. And they would still blame the innocent driver. Nigerians need to understand that no one is above the law. In this case it is for the benefit of everybody. 2. Police officers on the other hand are not left out. In most cases around calabar where I stay, the only time the police pull you over is when they want to collect bribe and I'm sure that was the impression the naval officers had and which resulted in the violent outburst. 3. Yesterday they was robbery going on during the skirmish between the police and the navy. The Police only concentrated on fighting the naval officers while their core duty of maintaining peace and order was neglected. 4. The Navy dealt heavily with the police. It is a thing of embarrassment to the Nigerian arm forces in general. We have militants terrorizing our waters and on the other side we have navy officers terrorizing citizens. If their energy were channeled to fighting militants and pirates in the sea at least things would have been better. In fact, in developed countries you hardly see a naval officer in the streets on uniform. All the officers involved in that embarrassment should be punished and disciplined. They are other things more important than fighting like thugs in uniform. Lalaticlala Mydd44 take over |

A former governor of Cross River State, Mr Donald Duke, on Tuesday said he would still take a shot at the presidency if the opportunity presented itself. Duke spoke at a programme “The Nigerian Symposium for Emerging Leaders” held in Lagos. He said though he once aspired to the position but did not emerge the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, he would still contest for the highest office in the country at the appropriate time. Duke explained that it was because of his preference for the presidential seat that he did not vie for any federal legislative seat after serving out his terms as governor. “I do not have the flair for the legislature; standing up and sitting down at the chambers to raise a point. That was why I did not contest for the Senate but the presidency, after serving out my term as governor. “I have contested the presidency before; I will still give it a shot when the opportunity presents itself . I believe I still have the energy in me,” he said. The former governor canvassed the reform of the country`s political system to accommodate wider participation and good governance. He suggested the review of the electoral law to allow for independent candidacy. Duke said the country`s democracy would fare better if young people, who form the larger proportion of the population ,took more active part in its political process. He said most developed countries had young people as their leaders at one point or the other in their democratic history. The former governor, however, said power was never given easily, urging young people to participate in the political process and use their prime to add value to the country. “I want to urge young people in the country not to see leadership as if it belongs to some people, but do everything positive to be part of it. “You can only make a difference at the prime of your life. You can actually add value now, not when you are above 50. “So, you need to be part of the political process and play your part. It is your right to be there; nobody is doing you a favour. “You represent more than 60 per cent of the population; you don’t have to beg for it. “Just make effort to make that change and contribute your quota to nation building,“he said. Duke urged government at all levels to be accountable and challenged the governed to demand more from their leaders. Also speaking, former Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra State decried lack of transparency and accountability in government. He said the situation was responsible for the level of corruption in the country and poor delivery of dividends of democracy. Obi said the way out of the quagmire was for leaders to carry the governed along in budgetary spending and plans for effective tracking. “The way forward is that governments should make their budgets more explicit and published. The plans and the money to be spent on them should be clearly stated. “That is when people can track and make comparative analysis with previous budgets and then we can achieve some transparency,” he said. The former governor also urged the masses to show more interest in the budget so as to keep leaders on their toes. Mr Seun Onigbinde, Chief Executive Officer, BudgIt, an organisation with interest in accountability in public finance, urged Nigerians to demand accountability from their governments. He also urged governments at all levels to always carry the people along in their budgetary proposals and implementation to achieve accountability.

tuscani:Smh what are u saying? Just follow these steps: 1. Create the website and save it in your system. 2. Register a domain and a host. Most web hosts allow u to do both. 3. Upload your website to your host using an FTC protocol. Do a small Google search. |
Have u set up the business already? |
Houseofglam7:At least he got a recognition. Who are u? |
This list is useless without davido and Seun. Seun is handsome oh. |
NwaObinkita:Did u post this just to be in front page? Because if you're a cross riverian or u stay in calabar then you'll know why they are protesting. .. On a second thought, this are the people that voted him back in 2015 because he can speak English and he's the youngest Governor and blah blah blah. |
Not again! These people will still go back to their roots. |
I have H+ signal here in calabar with my airtel network. Fast downloading speed. Same goes with my glo sim. |
jashar:Thank You dear. This post shouldn't be taken too seriously. Its just for fun. |
ceejayx:Sorry I was referring to the OP |
ceejayx:You again? |
kateskitty:You know me before? |
NevetsIbot:3000 in a year. That's an achievement bro. |
NevetsIbot:I was expecting this kind of comment. Please read again. This time carefully. |
I know this is not important so don't tell me ''and so what? Who e epp'' and all those blah blah blah stories. But at least its an achievement. I joined this forum last year and within a short period of time I hit 3000 Likes considering the fact that some people have been here longer before me and they haven't gotten up to 500 LWKMD. On the other hand, it also shows that I have been able to make significant contribution to most threads here. Tumps up! I've been on the FTC spot for some time and each time I've been able to pull massive likes and shares on my opinion on those threads. I've never made front page. Sad! Like I said earlier it is of no benefit to me personally but at least I've been able to make significant contribution to the forum. How many likes have u gotten so far? Bad belle is allowed! Let the insults begin. idefatigues! |
