U.S. Mission to Nigeria
Security Message for U.S. Citizens
U.S.G. Personnel Restrictions
June 28, 2012

The U.S. Mission in Nigeria is issuing this emergency message informing U.S. citizens of the current restrictions on U.S. government personnel in Abuja. 
 
Beginning Friday, June 29 through July 1, all U.S. government personnel in Abuja are restricted from going to places of worship and all commercial establishments adjacent to any place of worship.  In addition, all U.S. government personnelare required to return to their residences by 12:00 midnight.  These restrictions will be re-reviewed on Monday, July 2.
 
These measures are being taken as a safety precaution because of recent extremist attacks on five churches in the states of Bauchi, Jos, and Kaduna, and the attacks in Borno, Yobe, Kano and other areas resulting in scores of deaths.  An explosion occurred outside a nightclub in Abuja on June 22.  Media continually report extremist threats to attack throughout June.
 
The situation in the country remains fluid and unpredictable. The U.S. Mission in Nigeria strongly urges U.S. citizens in Nigeria to consider their personal security and to keep personal safety in the forefront of their planning.
 
U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Nigeria are strongly advised to enroll in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).  U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  By enrolling, you make it easier for the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to contact you in case of emergency.
 
U.S. citizens should contact the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos for up-to-date information on any restrictions.  The U.S. Embassy in Abuja is open Monday - Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.  The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is open Monday-Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Friday 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  The U.S. Embassy in Abuja can be reached by telephone, including after-hours emergencies, at +234(9) 461-4000.  The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos can be reached by telephone, including after-hours emergencies at +234(1) 460-3600 or +234 (1) 460-3400.

PoliticsRe: $3M Conversation Between Lawan & Otedola - Audio by Tropilo(m):
lacidi: TJ don off him fone lol.

It's clear Otedola was trying to set up farouk. I am now convinced that this was actually a sting operation. If you listen, you will notice that Otedola repeated the exact amount being discussed knowing fully well that he was recording the conversation. Also Otedola's retort that the money was in the airport authenticates his earlier claim that Farouk asked him to fly in the money by private jet.

Now Fashola, is a "fastpoke", he's "cluefull" he's a "san-san". Inshort, they want him to contest in 2015.

Murry is a terrible tennis player, he wins as a result of fluke and because he is the major british player he's giving that bit of publicity he does not deserve.
I can't remember the last time I watched murry play and he wins in straight sets, it always goes to the 5th set, and he loses the 1st most of the time.
Murry is an over-rated player, its that simple.

Christianity EtcRe: Household Of God Pastor, Rev. Kris Okotie Separates from His Wife by Tropilo(m): 7:39pm On Jun 24, 2012
Rev. Chris Okotie is a good man.
If a woman wants out in a marriage, what do you want the man to do? Force her or keep pleading with her to stay on?
I don't know what may have gone wrong in this union, but in his first marriage the ex-wife wanted out cos the Rev "couldn't get her admission into a labour ward".
You know how frustrating that could be to a woman especially when the fault is not hers. So maybe, just maybe its the same case scenerio with this other lady.
Does that make Rev. Okotie a bad person? I don't think so!

defemz: Look to me like the setup was a conspiracy to make it look like boko harams are not only attacking churches and christians but also muslims and mosques. The length some people will go to cover up evil.
It took the repraisal attacks for:
1, the govt to act and try a new approach
2, the northern moslems to come up a diversionary story
3, for the Security Ops to take atleast a critical look at happenings in Kaduna.

I bet that if the Kaduna Christian youths did not react. Last Sunday's bombings would have just gone down as one of the usual Jihad attacks.
Does it mean it takes two wrongs to make us think rightly?

shadrach77: how did you know his dad was not supposed to be sultan? Abacha deposed Sultan Dasuki because he wasn't in support of his regime smiley smiley smiley
IBB rigged Dasuki in as Sultan cos of his personal relationship with him. After he was named as sultan there was very serious protests and rioting by the people of Sokoto who are perceived up until this day as being very peaceful. So one of the things Abacha had to do to be accepted by the caliphat and northerners generally was to right that wrong.

If you guys don't want his name mentioned when discussing the country, kindly beg him to resign so another person's name can be called.

oddy4real: would you just hold it! It is the practice everywhere in the world that whenever there is VIP movement in the airport, then no other plane can land. Go and ask if another plane can land in the USA if Obama is landing. And this didn't start with GEJ. U don't have to find a way to link him to every imbroglio
The only fact in your post is that it did not start with GEJ. It start with IBB after the Okhar coup and intensified during Abacha's era cos of paranoia. Atimes these Nigerian security details act outside their briefs and the people whom they are supposed to be securing become their "hostages".
As for the US President's case it not true. Planes land and take off anytime cos the US Presidents plane (Airforce 1) has its own runway(s) in JFK, DC and LA airports (i don't know about the other airports). Please, lets not misrepresent facts.
For those who use derogatory names/words at our President. Please watch your tongues. GEJ is not inept. He is just a man with a good heart and does not like hurting people. I know the fuel pump increase issue is what's causing the hate.

what the federal govt keeps denying the igbos and what the other tribes keep doing to the poor and helpless masses of the igbos will be your fold in thousands and the pains of all these families in the hands of boko haram will be your portion and peace will depart you all the days of your life.
if you and jonathan lost your father,mother, wive, children and loved ones, will you be saying all these or will jonathan go to brazil.

My brother, while your observation above could be true. The major reason you wouldn't find a Yoruba in Enugu or Owerri branches is because Yoruba's find it very difficult going eastwards or having to stay there. They rather you sent them to even Damaturu, Maiduguri or Kano.
I have had cause to shuffle some staff in my office in Nigeria (Abuja). As we had new projects in Imo and Ondo states.
The Yoruba chap was sent to Owerri while a Delta employee was to go to Akure. The Yoruba guy refused to resume in Owerri, instead preferred to be jobless in Lagos.

samkoro: Listed here are Koranic verses which are the foundation for these beliefs (prejudice).

The Quran, virtually on every page, is a manifesto for religious intolerance. – Sam Harris

It is these beliefs that fuels organizations as Hamas, the Islamic Republic of Iran

The Islamic Jihad movement. Take them seriously as they take these teachings seriously.

This is no joke.

If you doubt the accuracy …just copy and paste the subsection eg Qur’an 4:160 to your web brower.

Qur’an 9:29-Fight against Christians and Jews ”until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”

Qur’an 4:91- If the unbelievers do not offer you peace, kill them wherever you find them. Against such you are given clear warrant.

. Qur’an 9:7-9-Don’t make treaties with non-Muslims. They are all evildoers and should not be trusted.

Qur’an 9:12-14-Fight the disbelievers! Allah is on your side; he will give you victory.

. Qur’an 9:5 Kill the nonbelievers wherever you find them.

Qur’an 2:191-2-Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you, then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

Qur’an (5:51) - ”O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

Qur’an (2:65-66) Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.

Qur’an (4:48, 4:116)-Those who ascribe a partner to Allah (like Christians do with Jesus and the Holy Spirit) will not be forgiven. They have “invented a tremendous sin.”

Qur’an (4:51)-Jews and Christians believe in idols and false deities, yet they claim to be more rightly guided than Muslims.

Qur’an (5:51) Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.

Qur’an (5:80) – “You will see many of them befriending those who disbelieve; certainly evil is that which their souls have sent before for them, that Allah became displeased with them and in chastisement shall they abide.” Those Muslims who befriend unbelievers will abide in hell.

Qur’an (3:85) - ”And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.”

. Qur’an 9:6-Those who submit and convert to Islam will be treated well. (Those who don’t submit will be killed. See previous verse.)

Qur’an 5:53 Jews and Christians are losers.

Qur’an 5:59 Jews and Christians are evil-livers.

Qur’an 5:63 Evil is the handiwork of the rabbis and priests.

Qur’an 5:72 Christians will be burned in the Fire.

Qur’an 5:73Christians are wrong about the Trinity. For that they will have a painful doom.

Qur’an 9:30Christians and Jews are perverse. Allah himself fights against them.

Qur’an 9:34 Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to the rich and greedy Christian monks and Jewish rabbis.

Qur’an 19:35-37“Woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.”
Jesus was not the Son of God. Those who say he was (Christians) are going to hell.

Qur’an 28:62-64 Allah will taunt Christians on the day of their doom, saying: Where are My partners whom ye imagined?

Qur’an 40:73Allah will taunt the Christians in hell, saying: Where are all my parnters that you used to believe in?

Ishaq:364 “Muslims, take not Jews and Christians as friends. Whoever protects them becomes one of them, they become diseased, and will earn a similar fate.”

Qur’an 3:67 ”Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was a true Muslim, surrendered to Allah (which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.”

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

THERE ARE ALOT MOR
The Quran 40:73 is the most revealing cos it gives us an insight in the residence of allah. HELL!
