Members of United Nigerians in Diaspora (UNID) led
by Dr. Paschal Okoli organized a peaceful protest in Abuja, the Federal Capital
Territory on Monday, 11th May, urging the federal government to intervene in the gruesome execution of
Nigerians in Indonesia. More pics after the cut...
The group expressed confidence that the government
can do something about the ugly development to forestall further killings of
Nigerians in the country. They called on the federal government to do
everything humanly possible to save the lives of the remaining seven (7)
Nigerian inmates in Indonesia who are due for execution in no distant time. It
would be recalled that about thirteen (13) Nigerians were executed already in the ugly
circumstance recently.
The Association equally recalled that two (2)
Indonesian citizens who were found guilty in a similar offence in Malaysia were
pardoned and sent back to their country (Indonesia) following the intervention
of Indosian government. In another instance, ten (10) Indonesian citizens were
condemned in Malaysia over similar offence but were later pardoned and sent
back to Indonesia due to quick and
serious intervention of Indonesian government. Again, five (5) Indonesians have
been condemned in Saudi Arabia presently over the same offence and the
government of Indonesia is fighting tirelessly to secure their release.
The group therefore queried why Nigerian government
is so indifferent towards the plight of her citizens in Indonesia.
They must be igbos. Smh
ReplyDeleteMay you not commit suicide over Igbos. Anu mpama.
DeleteSo what if they are Igbos? Are you saying Yorubas condone excessive babaris disproportionate punishments? I don't get the shallow comment.
DeleteAttention seeker. I hope you realize Linda Ikeji is Igbo? Yet you come here everyday in hope of winning her monthly giveaway - ode oshi
DeleteSorry to say, you're really stupid for that
Delete@ Davido's Driver.. Must everything be race or tribe to you anyway wasn't expecting any better. You are a common driver.
DeleteGET OUT of my space
You f*cking retarded monkey! What has Igbo got to do with anything here? You ugly f*cking sh*t head!!! Weren't there 2 Yoruba people the last group executed?! Don't come here to showcase your obvious lack of class. Idiot.
DeleteDis is out of place. Are they encouraging citizens to push drugs, and go free for it???
DeleteToo late when the head is off. Lindaobserve
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. It is well.
ReplyDeleteShould have done that before the execution

ReplyDeleteStupidity of the highest order. Dey should be wise & not smuggle drugs to dat country anymore. Linda take note!
ReplyDeleteSomething is wrong with them.. They shud go and protest in indonesia.. The govt av tried bt the laws of other countries av to be respected too
ReplyDeleteProblem everywhere
ReplyDeleteAs bad as the killing looks. Indonesia is a country of zero-tolerance when it comes to drug related offences. Nigerians government can only plea on their behalf or request for their extradition to Nigeria in order to serve jail term for their offence. Meanwhile, if Indonesia refuses; there's absolutely nothing Nigerian govt can do about it cos Indonesia has standing law of death penalty to drug related offences
ReplyDeleteFirst I would like to say the government didn't take them to Indonesia and secondly the government didn't ask them to indulge in drugs knowing the punishment for such offenses. Protesting is really not the issue, what should the government do about it can they really order for the release of those Nigerians? What if they do will they accept especially when they've been sentenced already?.
ReplyDeleteNice effort, but they should extend it to educating Nigerians on the dangers of drug trafficking.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says via NOKIA LUMIA
Dey shud go to indonesia n cut us som quietness puh-lease
ReplyDeleteAnd the so-called Nigerians in diaspora won't obey the laws of their host countries. Why deal in drugs when u know the penalty when caught. So many have been and will be executed. But the annoying and surprising thing is that many are still willing to deal in drugs. In as much as our govt didn't do enough, the victims should take a larger portion of the blame.
ReplyDelete#TeamBlessed#
#really wetin dem expect govt to tell Indonesia to go back on dier laws r what??
ReplyDeleteLinda,did u say gruesome xecution? Comon! We all knw dt each countries av different laws whn it cums 2 drug trafickin.ds people shd go n sit down n mount presure on our govt 2 provide basic necesities of life n also warn dia children of d danger in caryin drug.me i no dey 4 nonsence.
ReplyDeleteDysfunctional government that won't go the extra mile for her citizens.
ReplyDeleteI feel them, so pathetic. We worth nothing in & outside the country.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish this protesters can organize a seminar in order to educate people on hw deadly drug is.
ReplyDeleteThey should go and sit their asses down. Why would they go to another country to commit such act by doing drugs and you want to tarnish their image abi. I'm glad indonesia don't take rubbish. Keep up the protest fools.... Jor oh.
ReplyDeletePls FG do something to save our people.
ReplyDeleteThey are right,FG should do something
ReplyDeleteDay jst break?
ReplyDeleteYea the FG shud do something about it.
ReplyDeleteSee belle...Anyways, y'all should protest against the execution of the soldiers on deathrow in Nigeria too. Since its all about placards n protest.
ReplyDeleteThis is so dumb. Everyone knows about Indonesia's strict drug laws. If they dodbt want to be killed then they shouldn't have done the crime. It was not an attack against Nigerians. They even executed their own citizens. These people obviously don't have work.
ReplyDeleteThis protest will meet a brickwall with Buhari, who himself would have done same to drug traffickers if not for democracy. Buhari will be the last person to plead clemency for drug traffickers. Just forget it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Government is indifferent concerning this, they (the drug traffickers should ve known better.
ReplyDeleteBOLLOCKS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBunch of Retards lookin 4 some retarded fame.
The 3rd pix , 😲😲😲😲biko DAT man is pregnant ooooo
ReplyDeleteSee stupid ppl. You won't protest for nigerians to stop carrying drugs
ReplyDeleteIsn't this coming abit late? Hope the Nigerian govt will hear them out.
ReplyDeleteDem no well rara. Shey dem no knw where Indonesia dy? Nonsense
ReplyDeleteCan u imagine dis rubbish. For crying out loud do they expect Nigerians to b law breakers in another man country, and go free 4d crmies bcos they r Nigerians.
ReplyDeletePlease stop wasting your time people.
ReplyDeleteWhen in Rome...
Rules are rules, this is the problem with Nigeria.
Indonesia is strict, I'm sure if Nigerian government could do anything about it, it would be done
ReplyDeleteWhy not protest and create awareness for Nigerians not to traffic drugs or move aboard to start illegal businesses and gives others innocent citizens a bad image?
ReplyDeleteIS NOT ABOUT PROTEST BUT A CHANGE OF HEART, ATTITUDE OF NIGERIANS ND OBEY LAWS OF THE LAND,WILL THEY TOMMORROW STAGE PROTEST FOR SOME OF OUR PEOPLE HERE IN SPAIN WHO RENT OUT THEIR PERMIT TO OTHER AFRICANS TO WORK WHILE THEY INVOLVE IN ILLICT ACTS,IF THEY ARE CAUGHT
ReplyDeleteHmmm nonsense protest, it means they are supporting drugs traffickers!
ReplyDeleteEven Australia couldn't save her citizens.
ReplyDeleteIt's a hopeless cause, I don't see Indonesia moving anytime soon, to be honest!
Serzly d mata tire me oooo. Fed govt to slow to act. He shld plz intervene nd b fast abt it
ReplyDeleteLib freak
Pls the people killed or condemned to be killed were they in their offices or shops the govt security came and got arrested?
ReplyDeleteIf the govt of a country you are say don't do this, and that if you do it you will die and you go on to do that it therefore means that you want to die.
I sympathise with their families tho, but they are the ones that said they want to die.
Hmmmmmmm, dey shd stop drug trafficking too, it is vry bad. Fed govt shd pls intervene vry fast b4 dey kill dis pple d way dey killed d previous 1s
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm, dey shd stop drug trafficking too, it is vry bad. Fed govt shd pls intervene vry fast b4 dey kill dis pple d way dey killed d previous 1s
ReplyDeleteThis is what dey would ave done before dey were killed
ReplyDeleteIt's known that death is the penalty for drug trafficking in most Asian countries....why do these irritating Nigerians keep doing it? Do they think they are invisible? If Nigerians have no laws, it don't mean other countries don't abide to theirs.... Some of them will still traffic it tomorrow
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder where some people have this much time to do all this rubbish, Nigerians can trek! Did u think all country are like Nigeria that the Law is only made for the common man... instead of you to sit Ur children down and teach them to stay away from bat habit and check the law of the country they are visiting... some country might not even want a Nigeria Politicians to be in there country one day... who knows? stay away from things that will spoil Ur name, Ur family name and Ur country name... crime is crime
ReplyDeleteThey should go to Indonesia to protest, doing it in Nigeria I see them as jobless bunch
ReplyDeleteMedicine after death.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is most of the drug traffickers outside the shores of the Country, indeed 95% are Igbos. Hmm igbos and the get money quick syndrome.
ReplyDeleteIf they pardon these ones, dont you think it will be unfair on the part of Indonesia government because they have already killed some 2 weeks ago. So why should they leave these ones? The Indonesia government would not want to be seen as partial. Too late. Lesson to Nigerians: Learn to conduct yourselves properly outside the country
ReplyDeleteBuhari's government will never intervene in things like this because when he was a military man, he too used to execute drug traffickers.
ReplyDeleteThese stupid Nigerians are just liars. Where is the proof that Indonesia government begged Malaysia not to kill their citizens? Nigerians like to get things twisted to bottress their point. Indonasia will never do that since they also kill drug traffickers. If u want federal government to help you, just beg and stop lying and making false reference to how Indonesia begged other countries to leave its citizens. Nigerians will never change. Stmcheew
ReplyDeleteI know it is easy for us (including me) to say they should bear the consequences of their action especially knowing fully what the penalty is. But then again after some thinking I ask what if someone was framed.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a situation were someone used his sibling without his knowledge. Another case where someone was given a shoe he once wished he had by a very close friend without knowing there were drugs hidden inside the shoe.God intervened in that case.
Death penalty is harsh. Especially with recent news about innocent men who had spent their entire life in prison but late found innocent. ( just Google)
Human Being No Be God
What protest? Were they not aware of the law on drug trafficking? Their bid to get rich quick caused them their lives. I hope other will learn and do something better with their lives otherwise, they will suffer the same faith.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the bible says "thou shalt not kill", these Nigerians were meant to abide by the rules of whichever country they are in. I am against killing because of my religion. To me, life sentence is as good as execution because the person will also live a wasted life if given life sentence. It is as good as death.
ReplyDeleteTo those saying, some might have been framed or tricked and could be innocent, let God be the judge. If they know God and can pray very well, God will vindicate them and they will be exenerated. Afterall, a woman was set free amogst those executed two weeks ago. The God of the 99th hours heard her cries and came to her aid and she was set free. That is God for you.
ReplyDeleteNIGERIA GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROTECT THE NIGERIAN WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE THE CASE. OTHER COUNTRIES PROTECT THEIR CITIZENS.
ReplyDeleteBUT NIGERIA GOVERNMENT WILL NOT BECAUSE A NIGERIAN INVOLVE IN DRUG TRAFFICKING IN DIASPORA. IT IS SAME ON NIGERIA GOVERNMENT NOT PROTECT HER CITIZEN NO MATTER HOW.
CORRUPT PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT
What brand of idiocy is this really? We need to set our priorities straight in this country. Things that require attention like police brutality on us all will be forgotten, but what is nonsensical is what they will gather to protest about. Wen applying for an Indonesian visa u are seriously warned. Wen u get d visa it is printed on. At d airports u see a bold warning. When u live there u get a constant reminder, am sorry what else do they want, ok I know, they want to try God. Well they can get their reward now first hand from d almighty.
ReplyDeleteRIP. Just a couple of questions
ReplyDeleteYou guys left your homeland to some other location. You go break the law and get caught, now everyone is in an uproar about the said country reacting. Indonesia and other such countries in Asia and the middle east are famous for killing people associated with drugs.
Why do you expect the outcome to be different?
Although God said "thou shall not kill", it doesnt mean that you must be committing all sorts of crimes and come and be begging the government to help you out. But i still feel that the death penalty should be changed to life imprisonment because life sentence is as good as death because you are also going to live a wasted life if given life sentence. This is only because God said we should not kill
ReplyDeleteI guess is for d new line up.
