In a bid to undermine the growing protest against his government's removal of fuel subsidy, President Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the SSS to arrest civil rights attorney, Femi Falana, Fiery Lagos pastor, Tunde Bakare, ex-member of house of representatives, Dino Melaye and and Kaduna based activist, Shehu Sanni.
Two sources within the State Security Services told Saharareporters that the security agency had received presidential instructions to move against these four men as well as other perceived organizers of the resistance against the government's dramatic increase of the price of fuel.
"The presidency has decided that the way to break the protest is to go after those that the government believed to be the brains organizing the #Occupy Nigeria protests, " said one of the sources.
Can the president do this?
Jonathan might have let us down with his dictatorial attitude but he sure cant be dumb to do this...hmmnn
ReplyDeleteBeer parlour rumour.
ReplyDeleteGood response! Lol.
DeleteThis Goodluck deserves to be slapped srzly. Wat nonsense is this?
ReplyDeleteHe must be a clown and a dreamer if he thinks that he'll acheive anything by arresting them.#Yimu#
ReplyDeleteWell you know what Mr FUCKING ass president, it's too late for all that bullcrap! You can't arrest the activists carrying out this Nigerian protest in other countries, and WE the people are still going to keep protesting no matter what you do. No backing out now. Wasting your motherfukucking time! Time you can use to take care of the fuel subsidy and other relevant issues in Nigeria, you are arresting. Both you and your entire administration are FUCKING stupid. Idiot. We'll show you that thousands are better than 1!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Speak on it!!!!
DeleteThere is a way that seems right but the end is destruction. President Jonathan, please heed the voice of the Lord and remove pride. Remember Saul in the bible and how he ended. Pls apply wisdom. May God's spirit guide you and may you be receptive to His Spirit. God bless Nigeria and God bless you, Linda!
ReplyDeleteWhy would he do sure a thing? Se na becoz him no wear shoe while he dey grow up, na we cause the rain wey fall back then abeg we no need all those him cabal or cabalize language.
ReplyDeleteJonathan Goodluck reminds me of Pharoah in the bible. He has so hardened his heart that only a civil war might bring an end to all this madness that has plagued his presidency.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please bomb that badluck,spineless character to hell! Boko Haram wey im for use strong-arm tactics against,e no do,na 100million e take beg dem!The fool now has power against the same people who fought to see him into power when he was too afraid to face Turai Yaradua.!!
ReplyDeletethe heart of man is desperately wicked who can understand it?
ReplyDeleteCrackers! Am short of words.
ReplyDeleteOccupyNigeria is the people's movement. The ordinary people of Nigeria who have been campaigning for their civil right. The movement started on twitter. Jonathan should not let the cabal witches Diezani and Iwela ruin his government. He should apply wisdom. God bless Nigeria

ReplyDeleteLol. At. Jonathan. Is this supposed to be democratic system of goverment?
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it will not stop Nigeria to occupy our land! Arrest all you can! You can't arrest us all!
ReplyDeleteSaharareporters have never been reliable. I refuse to believe this news. Just a bunch of non-professionals sending out unconfirmed news. I wait to hear from other reliable sources. Glad Linda put the heading with a question mark...but then again, do Nigerians read and decipher?
ReplyDeleteSaharareporters's a dangerous site.Dey peddle misinformation,halftruths and divisive propaganda. Me thnk dey want d demise of nigeria. Trust me, i used to follow them blindly but now I know better.even if we dey cry,make we shine our eyes wellwell to take see road. Na only one naija we get! Peace!
ReplyDeleteI dont particularly trust sahara reporters and their sensational stories. In my opinion they dont practice true journalism preferring sensational stories without enough evidence to back it up, so until those people are actually arrested before I comment.
ReplyDeleteMena
Nigerian bloggers and some Nigerians in diaspora have heavily critised Pastors and priests for not speaking out during the crises, however one have spoken out and he took no prisoners. For more, please go to http://efemenaoreoluwa.blogspot.com/2012/01/occupy-nigeriasome-pastors-finally.html
I don't believe GEJ will do this. We need to be very careful in reporting news and truth be told, SaharReporters is known for bogus news, especially anything that is anti-govt.
ReplyDeleteThis man is just to wake to Rule this country..let him go to where ever he come from before his wife also become the real widow and let him come out and tell us why he want this people to be arrest? U trying to turn a Mafia? Guess this is Good...We'll see who win...Useless South-South Man who want to Feed on 1billion per year and 500million for Kitchen Utensil....All of una no go die better ...wetin una want before na the Gap b/w the Rich and the poor and all u do is to collect from the Poor to the Rich....Una all go suffer for this....Bastard Corrupt Government
ReplyDeleteI'm sure dis is jst a rumour. D president dos nt hav d constatutional right 2do dis.
ReplyDelete"Lagos is under heavy security siege manned by military personnels. Gani Fawehinmi Park in Lagos has been cordoned off and entrance barricaded as early as 12 midnight, Entrance to Third Mainland Bridge is manned by gun carrying military officers, all major junctions and flashpoints are heavily manned by red-eyed heavily armed military officials. This is at as at 5am, this morning"-
ReplyDeleteGood morning,i listened to pres GEJ and he wasnt talking to us.He was instructing us.I guess this is our own brand of democracy.so sad.and with all the stray bullets and police brutality,the FG now pushes out Armies on citizens that voted for him while boko haram and armed rfobbers have bEen having a fill day.Armies have demolished all the stages and soldiers deployed on the road!for innocent citizens o!!!!
ReplyDeleteWho is advising our president?soldiers everywhere?in a country with a very high rate of force brutality!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGEJ,he who the gods want to kill will first make mad.heavily armed military on the roads facing us that cast our vote for you sir?you didnt use this force on boko haram.you didnt use it secure the lives and properties of us that voted you in.but you use it against us now when we have done nothing but protest peacefully.God will judge you and yours and your disgrace will be witnessed by all and sundry.In JESUS name.Amen
ReplyDeleteGEJ,it is a protest!the same protest led by civil society groups to ensure that the NASS amended the constitution to ensure you be sworn in when Yaradua was taken ill and eventually died.So all of a sudden this people are animals which you have to fight with guns.hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteUnconfirmed rumours has it that our dear lagos state governor gave the president the boost to "deal" with us the way he "dealt" with lagosians with regards to the lekki toll collections.the same fashola that we supported against his mad and thieving boss ahmed bola tinubu.
ReplyDeleteWE HAVENT HEARD FROM THE LEADERS OF LABOUR!I HOPE THEY ARE SAFE AND NOT LOCKED UP
ReplyDeleteHow many of you will actually come out and protest. All you people is talk, but no action. Smh.
ReplyDeleteOur Gudlock wudnt go to such extent.i dnt believe it.
ReplyDeleteThe american government want us to go to war in order for them to take over n steal our fuel... Jonathan means well with this fuel subsidy removal but he did it @ d wrong time! He wants to perform and so the nation why he made the decision he did but hasn't being given d chance. However he cud hv put some things ryt 1st so it wudnt hv such a disastrous effect on d masses. Let's not condemn him 2 death, he shud tackle major issues n wen we've seen vast improvement Then we can let d hyke in fuel prices slide but not by 100% increase...Habah! He also said it was a temporary discomfort 4 a permanent change. Jonathan is not a dictator but what other measures can he apply? He's reduced it below #100.
ReplyDeleteIf he does this, he will be inviting total breakdown of law and order. People will revolt!
ReplyDeletethink you guys. he has the power to do it. its constitutional. instigating the public against govt is an offense which BAKARE and FALANA as lawyers should know. stop arguing blindly get a copy of the 1999 CONSTITUTION as ammended
ReplyDeleteI am particularly interested in Pst.Bakare. I think oga Bakare should go back to the pulpit or else he should keep quiet. His actions/attitude are COMPLETELY CONTRARY to the teachings of The Bible. Oga Bakare, where is the Spirit of LOVE and praying for your leaders?
ReplyDelete"When I was in Port Harcourt prison as a political prisoner serving a life sentence during Abcha, Falana was in Gumel prison and Mr Goodluck was just a lecturer enjoying himself at home in the company of his wife.I have spent 4 years in prison and have been to over 30 police cells and 5 prisons during the struggle against military rule. I have also been to many sss cells and even miltary cell in Apapa. It is funny that anyone can threaten us with arrest.We forgive those who only heard of us recently."
ReplyDelete-Comrade Shehu Sani,Kaduna based human right activist
All of you abusing Tunde Bakare are IDIOTS of the first order!!! So he should fold his hands and watch his people suffer and perish? He is supposed to watch the insensitive Govt. to impose untimely deaths on the poor, hapless masses and close his mouth? Because he is a Pastor? Read your Bible well and see the rejection of Jonathan (sorry, Saul)and others.
ReplyDeleteAnybody that says anything negative about Tunde Bakare must be a beneficiary of Jona's Govt. and/or must have been bribed to write all these rubbish. Useless people!

From every indications and recent happenings, it is now very clear that our President, GEJ, is the official SPONSOR of the Boko Haram Sect. As a student of Criminology, I can assure you that Jonathan has hands in the activities of Boko Haram. He pays and sponsors them. He knows all of them, the leaders, their operations and etal.
ReplyDeleteIf you want proof, I will give you ten facts that justifies this. GEJ is a Thief and a Killer that Nigerians never know. He is even more deadly than OBJ.
Pls I want proof. I await your ten justifying facts.
DeleteHe has no right to arrest them as the protests is peaceful. This is democracy for Christ's sake.
ReplyDeleteShame on Goodluck. He is just like the fly that has no adviser, who followed the corpse into the grave.
ReplyDeleteGoodluck should leave those fighting a just cause. He should go after the animals called Boko Haram.
ReplyDeleteSome of us are naturaly blood thirsty.touch one of us&beg 4 death.oya come here
ReplyDeleteI believe it is time to have this country split. I am sick of this animals called boko haram. If they are blood thirsty, they should kill their own family members. I also watched the "occupy Nigeria" protest and observed that the stupid ambassador and meeting organizers did not stand while Nigerian national anthem was being sung. They were all busy doing their thing, thinking of new ways to steal. Shame on them.
ReplyDeleteinstead of arresting boko haram members his trying to arrest innocent people
