who knows it feel it.
its so unfunny when anyone related to you is kidnapped.
sanni fine by me, but the mum , y,
a friend of mine took his son to Nigeria on holiday last yr, the Boy was only 5yrs old.
for the fact that news got around he was frm the u.k,
boy was kidnapped in abeokuta for 3 days till my frd paid a large chunk of money.
was my frd a politician/looter/corrupt.? no.
so when you rejoice, leave the innocent out of it.

[b]Poster Ode-remo[/b]you are right because I dont see any reason to rejoice in kidnapping somebody because he loot or he is corrupt and beside to date all the people that have be kidnapped are they all politicians or looters? I expect every reasonable minded person to condemn this nasty act rather than celebrating it because it is Lulu or someone else. This idiots called kidnappers keep going around threatening peoples peace now in Nigeria you can be kidnap for anything even to have a quarell in the street or in the bus now if care is not taken you can be kidnap or if you look at somebody eyes too much the next thing is kidnap this is absolute silly indeed. I dont care is Lulu or not because it's obvious Lulu will face the EFCC to explain himself but the Govt or EFCC never contracted kidnappers to be the judge for them afterall?

what d'u expect in a society like ours?2 walk freely on d streets?2 move in d night without fear of molestation?my dear friend,d question should be what brought about all these and when did it all begin?Nigeria is plunging deeper into many problems from economic 2 corruption 2 unemployment 2 lack of basics(electricity nd water) 2 lack of infrastructure. . .Boys r angry

this is the usual excuse - nigeria is hard

why don't we see armies of cammers from other african countries? are we the only ones who are poor?


'boys are angry' my arse. it has to do with the nigerian obsession with get rich quick captured in basi and company, and our complete lack of moral values - which is why, rather than condemn your neighbour who is clearly engaging in shifty business, you go over to him and ask for him ' to show you the way'

at least we saw nigerians in that bbc documentary who were eking out a living and who chose not to resort to crime.

the other day it was a lekki based  couple who were caught using their kids to push cocaine - that must be the hunger you are talking about, eh?

lagoshost:

This is a bad news. Who will be the next!

If my guess is right, this incident as embarrassing as it might seem, is heralding a new dawn in kidnapping, whereby the kidnappers will focus on the eminently   corrupt members of the society. . . cliche?. . . I think not!!!

For those advocating sympathy for lulu and his likes, it might have slipped y'all memories that the lack of sympathy on the part of Lulu and his likes (for the state of affairs in the country) led the country to the present state of incessant crime and unrest, so who be monkey and who be baboon?

If the advent of vice is the only thing that will set the country aright, then let the crime jamboree begin, albeit let it be limited to the corrupt ones and their family. . . so help us God, Amen!!!

@oyb, u are damn right.
our moral values has gone down the pipe.
from family values, institutions, teachers name it ,pastors, not to talk of our politicians.
a frd wanted to construct a small bungalow in rural agege,
guess what ,area boys numbering 25 demanding to be paid a mere 20,000 naira. b4 work could commence.
now divide25 by 20,000 naira.
its pure laziness of the highest order.
boys r angry?
more like boys are sitting on their arse doing f.u.k all.

kidnapping is not about social crusading, it is about rewards of crime

are all those people being kidnapped in abia high profile individuals


anyone entertaining the delusion that this is about redressing the wrongs lulu has perpertareed should think again


when mend started kidnapping - it was oyibos - today everyone is fair game

sounds like you are one of the beneficiarie of the returns


you are also being very slow if you think the masses are not the ones who will really suffer from this. security outfits are already setting up shop in nigeria - the likes of sani lul will become their customers , and will become insulated from the scourge, justy as they are insulated from armed robbery, phcn etal

anyway, tell me what are the returns on a typical job, mr boys are angry greedy

The bolded is quite interesting. The question you should ask urself is when did this get-rich-quick syndrome evovle? Lemmie take the liberty of answering that for u. The so-called get rich quick syndrome wasn't this prominent (if at all it existed) back in the days.
When u expose a society to constant rape and looting by corrupt leaders who are rewarded with choice pickings of political slots for theirs and their cohort as a result of all their misdeed, you definitely don't expect the populace to just sit back and relax do you?

Nigerians have the zeal to be the best in whatever they set their mind to. The question is what example are those entrusted with the wealth of the nation setting?

Kindly read the first paragraph of the post to which you made this response again. I never advocated or rejoiced that innocent peeps were being kidnapped.

would you tell this to the hungry man on the street and you expect such person to feel bad for a corrupt person like lulu ? Like they say,an hungry man is an angry man.leaders should learn to do what is right.even though i dont subscribe to kidnapping AT ALL but God always have a way of catching up with the evil people.

with these advocates of kidnapping etal (because of the condition of the country) it is no wonder that nigeria will continue to top the list of fraudlent nations

whats frightening is that people like these are the so called leaders of tomorrow - whose minds are made up - because our leaders are thieves, we too shall be thieves

.leaders should learn to do what is right.

this higlights something i have come across before the constant blaming of 'leaders' for all nigeria woes. is teh common man an animal that has no sense of right and wrong and is driven solely by hunger? - we all have a collective responsibility to do the right thing - not just the much maligned leaders - which is why i get the feeling that 90% of complainers will do the same or worse if they also get into office - look at bankole

but God always have a way of catching up with the evil people.

since you do not know sani lulu's mother personally, how do you know she is evil? do you know anything about her?

i repeat the kidnappers , like nigerian politicians are not driven by any ideology, any sense of injustice, but by the deisre for self aggrandizement

if they took the woman hostage and gave a list of demands - one might be able to assume they were something other than common angry criminals

@dark1,,
i don't know what generation u r,
but lets rewind 30 yrs back,get rich quick has been embedded in our system,
in fact coup after coup came all in the color of wiping out the slate clean, wouldn't bore u with details.
in actual fact most if not all our musicians from north to sth been known from day dot to glorify get rich syndrome.
now back to mother earth, from then to now is only an extension and a re package of same crime.
take moni as a denominator out, they are nothing but hideous crime with no political agenda other than enriching there pockets.
so let 2gether condemn it.

I don't need to belong to any particular generation to know that get rich syndrome is not limited to Nigeria alone. Neither do you need a seer to tell you crime wasn't this blatant some years back. The question remains, what led Nigeria to hobbesian state. . . definitely not the general populace, if you ask me.

FYI, I do not condone kidnapping but if that would make the leaders sit up, then so be it. Abi, for how long are we to remain in a state of perpetual fear simply because we abhor crime while our leaders are commiting heinous crimes and getting away with it?

That is d question many of these so called do-good propagators have still not answered and I'm still waiting 4 d answer

the point am raising here is simple,
kidnapping has no political agenda attached to it  hence it becomes a game for your local urchins to get involved 4 the sake of it, i.e  moni.
once he get the moni ,he goes 4 the bigger kill next time,all to enrich himself.
this does not put fear in any politician to perform, your local govt/governor will still be corrupt as usuall cos this kidnapping will be factored in the looting.
we are going to oblivion at this rate.
this is anarchy.

Bluetooth,

My question to the eediot Newgroom was clear: Why ''Igbo kwenu'' snide remark for a kidnapping incidence that took place in Kogi, with no name of the kidnappers mentioned?

Sacked NFF Chairman, Sani Lulu's Mother kidnapped

advertisement

Mother of erstwhile President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaja Laruba Abdullahi was kidnapped from her palatial home in Idah at 6.45 pm in Kogi State and taken to an unknown destination.Sportinglife As of 8.45pm when Sportinglife spoke with Aderigbibe, no word had been heard from the gun men.

He revealed that Lulu was in Abuja when the incident occurred, stressing that the former NFF president has remained calm and wouldn’t want to discuss the issue nor does he intend to report to the police in order not to endanger the life of his mum.

Lulu was impeached last week by the Congress of Nigerian football following an early exercise by nine members of the NFF on ground of not carrying them along in the course of Nigeria’s participation in the concluded 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

He had been locked in battle for the soul of Nigeria’s football with chieftains of the National Sports Commission (NSC) leading to threats by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) that they would ban the country from international soccer competitions after President Goodluck Jonathan, on the advice of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) headed by Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi recommended that Nigeria should withdraw from all football competitions for two years.

scooped from Sani Lulu’s Special Adviser Tunde Aderibigbe last night that Alhaja Laruba’s home was invaded by four heavily armed men who directed those present in the house to lie face down before she was whisked away. 

Meanwhile, operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Monday, raided the Accounts and Administration department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to fish for document.

It was gathered that the operatives got to the NFF office at Wuse zone 7, Abuja, at about11.00 a.m. and left at 3.30 p.m.

It was learnt that more senior officials of the NFF would soon be summoned once the seized documents had been carefully analysed.

The commission had summoned the impeached former president of the NFF, Sani Lulu, his impeached deputy Amanze Uchegbulam, former chairman, technical committee, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, and the incumbent secretary general of the NFF, Mr. Bolaji Ojo-Oba.

what led nigeria to its state is the mindset being displayed here we nigerians bear NO responsibility for the stae of affairs, because we are little children who have no minds of our own, and whose leaders are the standard for everything we do

i wonder - clinton got away with monica so obviosly all american men over 40 now get it on with 20 years olds , not so - since the leadership did it
i suppose all SA men aslo have 4 wives and engage in unprotected sex - since jacob zuma is doing that

Contrary to what you think, we ain't going into oblivion, rather we're violently being reformed to become a pristine clean state

if dat(revolution) happens,I would be glad

in as much as i don't rule ou the possibility that the story is true, i still have d reservation that Lulu is making up stories. He know Nigerians well, wen EFCC comes down for him, Nigerians will start having pity on him, "please temper justice with mercy, he is still searching for his kidnapped mother"

lulu, bring out ur mother, it cant stop the wrath that is about to befall u.

Dude, I work hard for my money and where I stay, dem no born the kidnapper/robber to come there. However, na God dey protect me 4 morning when I commute to work and back same applies when u take a flight for who knows when we gonn have an in-house mutallab?

My point is. . . why are you so quick to assume peeps are following their leaders like mumu Better still, are u a criminal? If you're not, what makes reason like there ain't naija being like you. Like I stated in one of my earlier post, Nigerians have the penchant in being the bets in whatever they set their mind to, sadly part of the populace seem to be taking the wrong route to success, that it self has been occasioned by several factors.

one thing nija is good at is sitting no matter how uncomfortable it is on the fence,
