Rivers state who had a strained relationship with the state Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi before he was transferred to Abuja where he served as the

Mbu the hatchet man of the jonathans. .devil incarnate
NO NO NO!!!!! This is a flagrant abuse of power... this is 2014. This man-Mr Mbu- should be showed that no body is above the law and he has failed by abusing the powers of his office. HE should be arrested IMMEDIATELY!!!!
I suggest that we use the power of social Media to force this man to resign. Who would join me. #MbuMUSTGO
Pls do not blame Mbu, the name AMAECHI sounds familiar. hehehe
He is indeed a hungry pussycat feeding on the crumbs in an old woman's kitchen....I don't doubt Gov Amechi
I'm sure he's been called worse names than 'controversial.' That's even mild.

This Mr Mbu again? You want to scatter Abuja the way you did in PH.

MBU has gone mad again, or it cos the guy answers Amaechi? VIA 264D9FB0
Mbu.Mbu,Mbu, how many times did I call u, what does ur mind make u thing u a, for Christ's sake we are not in the era of the millitary, u v no power to do that oh, or u think he is Amechi of Rivers state.
In what civilised country other than Nigeria will the AIG of Police detain a reporter for freedom of expression/speech. Nevertheless, the position he occupies is not on merit so how would you expect him to act especially when he does not understand that he is accountable to the people. He has been and remains controversial since his name surfaced in Rivers State brouhaha.
By their works, we shall know them!
If he is truly serious about policing instead of playing fetch with Abuja politicians then, AIG Joseph Mbu should provide a four-point agenda to curb crime and guarantee security for Nigerians. He should also write a detailed three year's plan for the Nigerian Police with respect to welfare, equipment, communication, recruitment, training and salary. While at it, he should elaborate on how he intend to rehabilitate officers injured on duty and families of officers killed in active duty. Esprit the corps!
By their works, we shall know them!!
You see your life. People like you are part of the problem we are having dis dead country.
Ashawo
This man apparently has a thing against all persons named Amaechi. Having failed woefully to cut the one in Rivers State to size he must now be relishing the opportunity to squelch an inconsequential smaller version, an "ordinary" reporter in Abuja. Daar Communications'll do well to hand a non-Amaechi his brief in the future.
Hmmmm that's means he will arrest us too if we call him 'controversial' Oga park well jare, free the man he did nothing wrong he was only a reporter #onelovefromSnow#
Really.

Is this man MBU of Nigerian Police or MBU of Nollywood. Jokes apart, I don't think AIG MBU is mentally stable. Make them check this man now oo because Na so madness they start. One day him go just carry gun they kill anybody called Ameachi, or if you use the word controversial, controversially.
MBU you're so lucky you reside in a lawless state under the MOST corrupt govt in the history of Nigeria..can you try that here in the UK? Moron!
Dis Mbu man again? Hian it is well
Let's see who blinks first.
Blatant abuse of power
He's even being controversial here, true to the label. Abeg release him joor.
Mbu! Mbu!!Mbu!!! How many times did i call u? It has become obvious to us that you are suffering from Amaechiphobia. After your unceremonius spats with Gov. Amaechi in Rivers State, you have descended on another Amaechi, this time a journalist. This one will bring your doom o, because you might not survive the media backlash that would.come with this. BTW what are you trying to hide or deny? Are you not controversial? Shameless ode!
hmmmmm Naija...................mohrenykaygee20@yahoo.com

this stupid man man has bittten more than he can chew oooo oga jona do somtin
Mr ibu see ur eyes
This is the first and probably the last time I will ever address you. This your comment Is the "stupidest" and most useless comment ever dished. What has bridle if the tongue got to do with this? The reporter stated the truth, and you are asking that we shy away cause we might be detained for being truthful? So much for church and Nigerian version of Christianity. Next thing now you go tell me touch not my anointed
Igbo crazy By Kenneth C Cole [An igboman] Wrote I don’t really know the reason why we
Igbos are hardcore supporters of GEJ even
when it’s obvious that he has failed everybody.
I have observed that Igbos defend GEJ even
when his own people IJAW are condemning
him. Have u forgotten the Nigeria governors forum
election in which Rotimi Amechi got 19 votes
while Jonah Jang got 16?…GEJ refused to
recognise Amaechi for reasons best known to
him. Have u also forgotten the fuel subsidy?..were u
nt happy when u bought a litre of fuel for #65?
Just lately, the price of gas also increased. Are
we not all suffering it? When Sanusi Lamido revealed the whole story
about un-remitted oil money, GEJ sacked him
and we igbos were seriously calling Sanusi
names just because he is a Northerner even
though we knew that sanusi was right… TODAY, we all have to pay #65 for withdrawing
from an ATM different from d banks we operate
in. Nobody criticised the present CBN gov just
because he is an Igbo man. Let me ask us, didnt
we enjoy using ATM when Sanusi removed
#100 charge? When he became President some of u were
rejoicing that finally a lecturer, teacher and PhD
holder is now a President but under his watch
ASUU went on strike for 6months,ASUP 10
months,COEASU 11 months the longest in
history, which future of thousands of Nigerians youths were toyed with. The most recent one is the $9.3m GEJ took to
South African. Do u know that the money is up
to 1billion naira? In this modern age, what will
make someone to carry that amount of money
from country to country….when did South
Africa become experts in production of fire arms…why didnt they go to Russia if they really
wanted to buy fire arms. Another 1billion naira loan was approved to
fight the same insurggency. Coming down to Igbo land, what has GEJ
done? Enugu Onitsha road and Enugu to Port
hartcourt roads are nothing to write home
about. Just because the election is around the
corner, he remembered 2nd Niger bridge. Talking of Igbo presidency, an Igbo man
cannot become a president under PDP in 2019.
PDP use zonning pattern to pick their
presidential candidate, the zoning is between
North and South and never among all the 6 geo
political regions as many of is think. So what it implies is that after GEJ, the zoning will shift
power to the North. Just after 2011 elections, on 1st january 2012,
GEJ announced the fuel subsidy, saying that he
wanted to use the money to build refineries but
up till now, Nigeria is still importing refined oil
cos non of the refineries is working. Incase u
don’t know, The present govt is planning to remv d remaining subsidy on fuel which means
that u will have to pay #190 for a litre when its
finally removed. Just as He did in 2012 after
winning in 2011, he may also give us a surprise
on 1st jan 2016 if he wins in 2015. Keep sentiments apart and rate the present
govt, u will see that GEJ has failed us. Let’s vote
him out.. Can u remember WAI (war against
indiscipline) in Nigeria? Can u remember the
man that introduced WAI in Nigeria? God bless
u all Am not expecting any insult o because i believe there’s no illiterate here but if there’s
any, let the person show himself. #think #BringBackOursenses
Lol.....seriously the name sounds familiar to him, may be he thought it was Amaechi the governor
Sad
Lol. My thought exactly. I think it has to do with his name.
And what is dat man still doing in d office, Mbu must go! supported
I guess its 'political platform' radio programme on AIT. Where dey say it d way it is. Pls release Amaechi ASAP #Asa#
This man Mbu!!!!
Mbunity!
The man has forgotten the professional ethics of his job and has taking fully to been political.
The day this man becomes ig,I will lose faith in nigeria
lawless society, power drunk leaders, untouchable idiots, so they saying basically freedom of speech in the constitution is story that touch the heart ba
A stupid police officer.i only pity for his children because the wrath of God is coming on them soon
it seems the AIG hates the name Amaechi.....
MBU IS A FOOL.
We will not allow APC Muslim and Bokoharamis to take over Nigeria
All the structures of APC from local government to the presidency are all Muslims
E be like say the mumu dey diabetic, with his swollen face. Or it could be liver disease due to too much ogogoro. Idiot!
