goldng: Thank God she is alife.

Reference: Disgraceful defamation of our deceased heroes. They fought fearless and fell that we could live. Now their seeds are fighting to save the life of those that fall out of fear. Shame.

bobolekepee: Well, i'm not surprise, she is a minister not a combatant

Behold my first casualty, "OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Thanks for the insultive correction though. Now submit ur head.

thierylee: Do we really have to trust and/or use this host site,NAIRALAND?why is it that they tend to block out most of the post from good nigerian whenever they are commenting on delicate state issues from certain national news reports from their own website?Why the provision for comments when the webmaster wouldn't publish most of the minds of nigerian posting them?.what seems to be the problem?Is it that nairaland owners are hypocrits or that they are playing the same wing.Maybe they are afraid that they would incur the animosity of the government when they publish most of critical remarks from good nigerians(critics).Whatever the case maybe,i think nairaland does not deserve the trust of its subscribers(nigerians).I mean why do we waste our time to comment on a site about national issues when our voices will never be heard?Nigerians should please look into this matter because it seems that nairaland does not have the interest of nigerian at heart, but they are exclusively out to make money...that is if they'll publish this post at the first place.

1121: This can happen to anybody, especially when u'r not familiar with such sound or not being preinformed of such action. Beside she is the minister of state 4 defence and not d defence minister. She is just meant to aid the main defence minister who has been sacked. GEJ now holds that potfolio of a defence minister while she aid/support him. I guess this is her first time of witnessing such occasion. This issue should not be overflogged as though is a strange matter. It would have been a big deal if it happened to chief of defence staff or if she was/is a force/military woman. A minister is just like an administrator of a ministry, who must not necesarily be well knowledgable abt the ministry's activity. Thats Y we have advisers and perm sec

ujchief: Why do we have minister of state for many of the ministries? We'v got minister of education and minister of state for education, same for power, defence, health and many more. This is a waste of taxpayers money, as they run parallel responsibilities.
They should scrap them, alongside other ministries with no portfolio and debatable responsbilities; eg minister/ministry of labour and productivity, aviation should be integrated with ministry of transport, economic planing should be integrated with ministry of economics and so on.

lekanolas: Nigeria's Defence Minister Falls To Artillery Fire

Minister of State for Defence, Erelu Olusola Obada, collapsed into the hands of military officers today when the deafening sounds of artillery fire reverberated in celebration of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day in Abuja.
Reports claimed that there was no announcement, as is usual on such an occasion, before the artillery fire rented the air.
The development was said to have startled the minister, who slumped, before her military aides jumped to her rescue.
After regaining her composure, Erelu Obada came back to lay a wreath at the Remembrance Arcade.
Later yesterday afternoon, Obada, who looked hale and hearty, was in the State House with Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala when President Goodluck Jonathan met with Vice President of the World Bank, Murkhtar Diop.
