Instead of countering his argument intelligently, you start by insulting Aribisala and continue all through your article. How do you want sane minds to take you serious ? There are always two sides to any argument, I've heard Aribisala's side, waiting for the govt or it's supporters own but it definitely can't come from you.

All campaign promises have been denied by APC

So this is what the Niger-Deltan Creeks look like? And the militants keep threatening the FG with ultimatums

Ehyaaaah - I have really missed General Sani Abacha.

A few cruise-missiles from our Frigates in conjunction with some air-2-surface missiles from the newly acquired JF-17Thunders should turn all these creeks into permanent football fields for the sea lions & dolphins when the time comes.

the violence you wish on my people shall befall yours a hundred fold. If anyone breaks the law, apprehend him/her not annihilate an entire tribe

I love Trump, I would vote for him if I was American but statistics show the police have killed more Americans 2015 than Islamic terrorists so should the police in America be banned ?

I have this feeling he might have been killed and buried long ago. Shame on Nigeria if they repeat 2008 error of killing Mohammed Yusuf and creating another sectarian crisis.

I found out long ago that Nigerians generally have a short term memory hence why we keep repeating mistakes. I pray once again that he's still alive and well

Lagos—Traders from the demolished Owonifari electronic Market, Oshodi yesterday rejected the Lagos State Government’s plans to relocate them to Oshodi Resettlement Market (former Isopakodowo market), citing structural instability and several spiritual activities associated with the structure as their reason for the rejection.

They added that the available space in the market cannot accommodate them.

Meantime, a fire outbreak occurred at the site of the demolition earlier in the day, stopping the traders from further salvaging any valuable left in the rubble. However, scavengers had a field day.

The refurbished Isopakowodowo Market, where the affected traders were asked to move to was commissioned by the former governor of the state, Babatunde Fashola, now Minister for Works, Power and Housing. It was commissioned two years ago on January 7, 2014.

When Vanguard visited the market yesterday, none of the market stalls had been opened for business since it was commissioned.

Inside the market, officials of the Lagos State Public Works Commissio, LSPWC were sighted rehabilitating the floor.

In an interview with Vanguard, a resident, Mr. Mustapha Adekunle said that the market had never been opened to commercial activities since the former governor commissioned it, saying; “You can see that the entire market is dusty. The government had abandoned the market to rodents.”

A security official, who chose to speak under condition of anonymity, in an interview, confirmed that the market had been under lock since it was commissioned.

His words “I cannot give you my name but all I can tell you is that the state government commenced the renovation works on the market on Wednesday morning after the demolition of Owonifari market. And as you can see, the officials of public works department are rehabilitating the floor.”

Meanwhile, a notice was pasted at the security post for displaced traders of Owonifari and other traders, on the procedures to apply for market stalls.

Relocation notice

The procedure reads: “This is to inform the general public/Owonifari electronic traders that all applicants of shops and Klee-Klamps at Isopakodowo electronic market (Oshodi Resettlement Market) should submit their registration forms with allocation letters, Lagos State Resident Registration Agency, LASRRA registration slip and two passport photographs.”

On the features of Isopakodowo, Vanguard gathered that there are 571 shops in the market; established by the previous administration and originally built to accommodate trader traders dislodged from the rail lines.

Sources said that the market has 64 Closed Circuit Television Camera, CCTV and 22 toilets. And it was expected to serve saw millers and electronic dealers in the state.

It was further gathered that the essence is to attract business to the area and change the face of Oshodi to the mega city standard. He emphasized that the modern market was fully funded by the state government and will be managed and maintained by a facility manager.



Why we shun relocation plans — traders

Mr. Rasaq Adeyemi, one of the affected traders, said the government did not allocate Isopakodowo market to anyone.

His words “No one is interested in the market because of the incident that happened two years ago when a part of the market sunk.

‘’Up till now, we have not heard anything from the state government. Do they want displaced traders of Owonifari to also suffer what happened two years ago. I doubt if the foundation is strong because if it is, that incident shouldn’t have occurred.”

Another trader, Mrs. Halimah Dosu, who had been trading in the demolished market for over 20 years, said she was not ready to go to the new market.

She stated that since it was commissioned, no trader had used it adding that she is scared to move there because of the incident that happened two years ago.

According to her, “People lost their lives. They had families just like we do. If such thing occurs when we move in, what will be the fate of our families? Can the place accommodate us? This week has been bad for every one of us. Most of the traders here are landlords, few are tenants. Everyone is at a loss. We want another place not that market.”

Another trader, Micheal Uzor, said “I am not going to that market. Rather, I will be going to Arena Mall. I believe it can contain all the displaced traders. Also, the it is structurally sound.”



Relocating to Arena shopping mall

A trader, Mukhtar Atoyibi, said; ‘’As at yesterday people paid N180,000 per annum for a shop but this morning, it has increased to N300,000 and light is not stable there.

‘’May be we will have to speak with authorities at the market because we don’t have that kind of money to rent a shop. Government did not think well about this before they did it.

‘’They don’t have mercy on the masses. At least if you want to displace people, you have to provide another place. Is this democracy?”

A trader, Uche Chukwuemeka, said; ‘’Desmond, my co-trader who deals in Video Games, rented a store in the Arena Mall for N1.2 million last week but last Saturday, they refused the N3 million offer.’’



We’ve not accepted govt offer—traders executive

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the market, Obinna Nwosu, said that the executives of the market were yet to meet on the State government relocation plans, saying “It is after our meeting that we can decide if we will accept it or not.”

He however lamented that there was no notice, no official letter except oral messages that they were coming.

According to him, “There is a court injunction that the government shouldn’t disturb traders in our market because since its renovation in 1999 where the market got burnt, traders voluntarily re-built the market with N750 million and every shop was decked. Does a seal order look like a quit notice. They assured us everything was going to be settled that was the reason most of us returned our goods.“



Fire engulfs demolished market

When Vanguard visited the market at about 9pm, Wednesday night, scores of scavengers were sighted carting away property of the displaced traders.

Sources said that they sold the undemolished property at give-away prices.

Few hours later, an eyewitness alleged that some policemen who arrived the scene, set fire to the property at the scene.

Another account said that the officials of the Lagos State Government set the property on fire earlier in the day.

A victim, Justus Eze, lamented “I woke with the hope of salvaging my property but when I got here, I discovered that the market was on fire. And even with the fire, I saw scavengers everywhere. I couldn’t believe I was late at 5am. I am hopeless.”



Fire official confirms inferno

An official of the Lagos State Fire Service, said that the fire was ignited by government officials at the scene to reduce the number of scavengers trooping to the scene to source for goods.

say they have never been really re-instated

By Luka Binniyat

KADUNA—The 3032 soldiers, who were pardoned last August for various offences during campaigns against the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the North East of Nigeria, have rejected posting to the fronts.

The soldiers explained that they were never really pardoned and re-integrated into the Army, but rather, re-sentenced to the war front.

*Some of the soldiers

Vanguard learned this created anxiety at the Command and Staff College, Nigerian Army School of Infantry, NASI, Jaji, Kaduna state, when over 3,000 soldiers – who claimed to have been subjected to unimaginable ill treatment after their pardon – were gathered by the Commandant of NASI, Major General Kassim Aldulkareem, to inform them that they have been assigned new riffles and should be ready for deployment to the fronts on the 11 January, 2016.

No reinstatement letters
According to sources, the soldiers complained that they have not been fully re-instated into the Nigerian Army, because attempts by them to report to their units were rejected at their bases since they have no re-instatement letters.

The soldiers also said that since they have been kicked out of the barracks they have not been paid for seven months making their families who live off-barracks begging for food.

It was gathered that, they cried, “We are not going! Give us re-instatement letters! You are sentencing us back to war,” among others. According to sources, the Commandant hurriedly left when the soldiers were becoming uncontrollable.

One of the soldiers who spoke to some newsmen on grounds that his name not be mentioned said: “Look at me; I have put in about 28 years of my life serving this country. I have seen action in Liberia; I have been to Rwanda, Sudan and even served overseas and we the Nigerian troops did very well and were decorated in some occasions.

“But, our experience in fighting to save our motherland is too sad a story for the outside world to know. We are not cowards. We held on for over four months facing Boko Haram.

“I just want to say that after the Army dismissed about 5,000 of us, 3032 of us were pardoned last August. Since that time, the Army Authority has treated us like prisoners of wars.

Asked to assemble in Jaji
“We were told to assemble in Jaji on August 17, which we did. Then on August 19, the General Officer Commander, GOC, of 1st Infantry Division, Maj. Gen Adeniyi Oyebade gathered us and without prior noticed moved us to Nigerian Army training Centre, NATRAC, Kontogora. Some of us found ourselves there in bathroom slippers. We were just taken straight to the place. Then, without any additional clothes or uniform, we were subjected to what was clear punishment, not training for another three weeks.

“Still in the clothes we came, we were again relocated to 333 artillery Barracks, Njetilo, Maiduguri. We got nothing but constant insults as cowards. We were there without uniforms no arms. They just left us there and we were abused and told to assemble at every two hours through these days for another three weeks.

“In Jaji, we went through another round of punishment, not training. Yet, we were not given any letter to show that we are still serving soldiers.

“So when the Commandant came and said we were going back to the North East, without clearing our status, we felt we have been punished enough.” he said.

The Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the Nigerian Infantry Corps, Major C.K Abaide, told our correspondent on phone that he was not aware of the development.

“I shall reach you back immediately I have our side of the story”, he said, but never did at the time of sending this report.

I will be very very surprised if Zakzaky is still alive, positively so considering the carnage the Nigerian army wreaked on his people and property with countless souls dead.

Nigerian press should stop saying there was a clash. There was no clash only a cold blooded massacre against unarmed and helpless civilians

A7:
He ran to Abuja after instigating crises in Kano. One of the things he said before running was "do not waste time seeking any form of education, it's futile, just love inyass and inyass will make you abundant in knowledge ".

Inyass is the man he worship, his name "Abdul Inyass" means servant of Inyass. He also believe He is God and everyone that subscribe to their coined doctrine will be God or is God.

He also went on cursing every revered Islamic figure on a loud speaker.

You call this freedom of speech? It's rabble-rousing and worst kind of incitement, his motive clearly is to provoke people to violence. People like this chap deserve every kind of comeuppances they will get.

ok, the original article didn't really explain in detail but I still don't support the death penalty for this kind of issue

Aisha jollof rice working on overdrive, the lying liars are trying seriously to convince Nigerians to allow Buhari's govt suspend the constitution, check out the tone of their threads here on nairaland these past days, even my boy arresa hailed Babangida and Abacha regimes as the best thing to happen to Nigeria since agege bread with ewa agoyin. This is really a case of cutting the nose to spite the face.

Our darling Bubu should hear the voice of Nigerians VERY VERY clearly.

* We support your administration wholeheartedly because a peaceful nation ensures our livelihood.
* We support your fight against corruption as long as its within the tenets of the law and it's not selective.
* We love our democracy & constitution with the passion of a jealous lover.
* If Nigerians needed the constitution to be suspended, we would have invited the military to take over but NO, the army should stay in their barracks and protect us from there. 2019 is around the corner, if you're tired by then you can forget about contesting for reelection.
* But if you president Buhari feel that working with a constitution will be as hard or even harder than applied quantum physics, then PLEASE and PLEASE step aside i.e. resign let your VP take over as he seems very capable and millenium compliant for the job.

Dear Mr president, you've been asking for this pudding, so you must finish it as served.

Thanks very much.

Does a Kano sharia court have jurisdiction over an offence committed in Abuja or is Abuja part of a bigger secret caliphate ? He should appeal this sentence in a proper court.
