onye_ngbu: Lt Gene. is more senior. It also means that since the new army chief is a maj. general all the lt. general and above will be retired. |

This thread says it all for the Onovo case. https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-480263.0.html hope they arrest him like balogun. |

This is nonsense. We keep putting bandage over our wounds without treating the wound. I have been saying it for years after my father retired from the force. Nigeria security issues is parasites devouring its pre and we need to address the root cause before firing and replacing people of valor and preparing them for failure. What can the new service chiefs accomplish without the necessary equipment, ammunition and transportation? I don’t care who you put at the helms of affairs at the police. They will still be ineffective as long as they don’t have the necessary tool to succeed |

Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by saintchux(m): 6:26pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
As an Igbo, today is one of the sad day in my life. I was not happy with Onovo which happen to come from my senatorial zone because of the rate of crime in the south east. I thought that with Onovo as IGP he will at least reduce the crime level in the south east. From Onitsha to Enugu you will see more than 100 police check point all collecting money from motorist. posting a police man in the eastern part of the country is like getting job in shell. They are there to make money. Am so disappointed that the first time an Igbo man is becoming IGP he performed woefully. Look at Barth nnaji, ngozi okonji-iwuala, Soludo, Akunyili etc that are making the Igbo's proud I pray that the new army chief will not disappoint us too. onye_ngbu: Is IBB sharing or dashing Igbo's presidency, does it belong to him? |

macfarland: I am always disappointed when i see comments like this on Nairaland because it reminds me that as Nigerians our minds are still not in the right place. So because Good4nothin Jonathief made an Iboman the Army chief ,he has done something good for the Igbos How does appointing an Igboman as army chief feed million of hungry Nigerians or treat millions of sick Nigerians who are dying in our hospitals because Jonathan and his governors prefer to stash our nation's wealth in swiss bank accounts. Finally how does him appointing an Igbo man as army chief benefit YOU in particular Dude when will tribally blinded guys like you wake up and realize that tribalism belongs to the older generation and not ours. As far as i can tell Jonathief is an incompetent president who lacks simple progressive ideas to move Nigeria forward. Even my maid can rule Nigeria better than him. This is the same president who has been in office for about 8 months but has not drawn any concrete plan to tackle Nigeria’s power problem.First he tried to fool us by making himself minister of power only to change and tell us stories a few months down the line. Please name one visible achievement Jonatheif has made since he came into power. Just 1? As it is now, Nigeria is worth nothing. We no longer matter in the world, we fool ourselves into thinking that we are the giant of Africa but in reality we are the joke of Africa. Countries like Eritrea , Angola ,DRC ,Seychelles ,Namibia ,Botswana even Zimbabwe have better infrastructure than us. Check out foreign media reports about the upcoming elections and you will bury your head in shame. Jonathief lacks the ideas, the charisma, the etiquette, the diligence, the honesty, the heart and authority to lead our nation to greater heights. He lacks the ability to brainstorm new ideas that is genuinely geared towards solving our nation’s problems. Jonathief is a PDP puppet who does the party’s bidding to the detriment of our citizens. Take a look at Ghana and see how they are reforming policies everyday to improve their citizens lives and standing in the world. Ghana currently boasts the fastest internet speed in Africa. Middle class people in Ghana are able to afford simple luxuries like LCD screens because their local currency exchange rate to the dollar is reasonable unlike ours. Our manufacturing industry is dead , our fishing industry in the Niger delta has been wiped out by oil companies. Our tourism industry is pathetic. Apart from Lagos where fashola has done an “ok” job, Jonathief has done absolutely nothing to improve the infrastructure of Nigeria either at state level or federal level. He has done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of Nigerians in the past 8 months. Tell me how many JOBS has Jonathan’s Government created in the past 8 months? When he came into power we were fooling ourselves saying it was divine intervention, now I know it was Satan’s intervention. Jonathan has wasted more money in 8 months that yara dua did in 2 years What does that tell you ? 60 Billion for independence celebration and foolish people are still saying he came him by divine intervention. Are you people now saying that God is wicked or that GOD hates Nigeria ? This is the same guy that is being referred to as a university lecturer. He makes use of facebook almost everyday but is not intelligent enough to float an official website for the Federal Government of Nigeria or the office of the presidency.If he can spend billions on indepence celbration why can he spend $500 a month to host beautiful federal Government website for the whole world to see and have easy access to local information about our nation.Does inec even have a website? As usual Aso rock is a hidden enclave because he and his cronies do not want the world to see where all the corruption goes on. A government that is faceless. Look at the USA or England , the white house is visible to everyone around the world as the united states’ seat of power. In England, number 10 Downing Street is visible for everyone to see but Nigeria government is situated in shadows and myths. No Media house in the world has been allowed to show the presidential base “Aso Rock”. And that b.i.tch akinluyi is talking of rebranding, a nation that is rebranding with a faceless government or without 5 star hotels ,5 star resorts ,24 electricity , good roads , educated workforce , manufacturing firms , foreign media ads , dedicated PR bureau e.t.c what are we rebranding? A Corpse? Nigeria as a nation is dead and unless we stop fooling ourselves ,it will stay dead. Our economy is already crippled but Jonathief and his cronies have done absolutely nothing new in the past 8 months to boost foreign investor confidence in our country. We are not progressing instead we are regressing. I can teach jonatheif a thing or two about providing basic amenities for Nigerians and I am just a simple fellow with a simple Bachelor degree. I saddens me that Nigerians still think like slaves in this day and age, where is the spirit of revolution. We should not encouraging criminals like Jonathief to leads us , we should protest countrywide and make people like Jonathief resign. We need new and young leaders and we must be ready to support these young leaders who are blessed with fresh reformed ideas that will put us back on the global stage and help us move forward. Just look at our population ,150 mill, if jonathan had a brain he would have formulated policies that will be geared toward population control to ensure food security for our future generation. If we continue to grow at the rate we are growing ,our land will become like Sudan because their will be way too many mouths to feed and few resources to achieve that. I weep for my nation because I see disaster in our future at the rate we are going, it is time for all of us to wake and stop the “follow follow” attitude. Jonathief ,IBB ,Buhari and they rest are all birds of the same feather. They do not have the interest of the common man at heart. We need a revolution , either by protests ,by riots or by violence otherwise we will not be free. The time for talking is over. We need brave and patriotic Nigerians to bring the corrupt ones down. 1 Like |

saintchux: You never know. Some fools are already buying that load of crap. MyJoe:I thought so because the igbos are the one doing most of the trading, production and own more financial institutions in the country. Nigerias economy is very dependent on imported commodities and all the other things I mentioned above and igbo people are in control of them and that was why i believe igbo is in control of our economy. I might be wrong though. |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by rhymz(m): 6:34pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
This is a strategic move that will see the announcement of his interest to run for the president. Am sure GEJ is trying to avoid a situation where these Army Chiefs of northern extraction will match soldier boys to Aso Rock and force him to sign a document that will see him end his tenure after 2010. Remember what these same men did during the Yaradua/KSA saga, these men undermined his authority and usurped his position and sent over 300 soldiers in the thick of the night( serious take over style). They did not stop there, they further made sure he didnot see the Vagetables while they map out strategies to make sure he did not become president. IBB, himself had a record for doing thesame, the desperado overthrew his boss while he was away to attend an Ecowas meeting or so. It must have dawned on GEJ that since the election timetable was already out, it was only a matter of time, he would make that decision he has been avoiding. And the wise thing to do especially at this critical time that he would be announcing his intention any time soon was to first remove these men whom I suspect may connive with IBB and repeat ugly history. Right move GEJ. As for the guy thanking him for choosing an igbo man as chief that is so Naive. First GEJ knows at the moment that he can only afford trusted senior officials at the helms of affairs, it is not just because he is igbo alone but also coz he can be trusted and at thesame time swing goodwill and eventually votes from the SE to him, it is more of political expediency and calculation than appeasement. Besides, dont you see that he was wise enough to make sure every region was represented even the north. Onovo was an embarrassing endeavour, a wasted slot for the igbos, imagine the IGP's own region being riddled with crime and yet he could not do anything to stop it. No sense of urgency or proactive measures to tackle the problem. The most annoying was the case of a boy in Enugu his home state who was kidnapped for over a year by men of the Nigerian police, the !diot was petitioned by the boy's parent, he could not do nada instead he allowed the deputy senate president Ike Ekweremadu(who also is 4rm Enugu) to prevail on him to release the prime suspect who was a police officer notorious for conniving with politician to do their bid. He only became alight when Jonathan threatened him after some journalists were kidnapped. Let's just keep our fingers crossed the battle has only just begun. Do you all notice the order of the elections time table, national assemblies election followed by presidential elections then state assemblies and finally guber. This is going to be interesting. I see more bad abt IBB emanating soön, it's high time GEJ started playing dirty if realy he is serious to run. I see this thread generating enormous traffic. . Lol |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Nobody: 6:37pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
I wanted to avoid all the ethnic spat but just wanna help set the records straight for those getting excersized over this appointment. Paul Dike and Onovo were Igbos, they were removed and only Ihejirika was appointed among service chiefs. Now I am not offended by this. I don't even care if nobody from the South East gets appointed at this time. I just want to set the records straight for those who want to spin this into some political connotations. Jonathan has not done anything special for SouthEast. 2 Igbo service chiefs were removed and one was re-appointed. So everyone should treat this with the indifference it deserves. People should stop reading too much into military appointments. |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by onyengbu1(m): 6:40pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
@playmode, your post is rather too long to comment on but you should just take it easy on Jonathan. Tell me who has done better in Nigeria. And who told you that he 'has not drawn any proper plan to tackle Nigeria’s power problem'? Do you even listen to news at all? If you are saying that he has not started implementing, that will be different but when you say that he is yet to come up with a plan, it becomes obvious that you are not abreast with what is going on in the country. As for one achievement: I no longer queue to fuel my car and I buy petrol at 64 naira since Jonathan happened. |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Nobody: 6:40pm On Sep 08, 2010 |

Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by MyJoe: 6:55pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
onye_ngbu:I think you might be. Take a pen a write down the ownership of the 25 recapitalised banks in Nigeria. Then move to Insurance and do same. These are the financial institutes. The person that controls them controls the economy. It was for this reason that many analysts blamed Obasanjo and Soludo for entrenching SW control of the Nigerian economy through the banking consolidation. Those analysts were right. If you move away from banking to the real sector, the story is not much different. Check the ownership of blue chip institutions and hotels. The media is dominated by the South South. In fact, the South South is the only competitor the SW has in this country. Import and export, buying and selling are fine but big money is controlled elsewhere. To achieve a balanced control of Nigeria's economy, the North needs to catch up educationally. SE governors need to find ways to encourage long terms investments. No can control the economy without being active in banking, insurance, oil, telecoms, or the media. |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Finecat(m): 7:02pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
Like these f00ls just appointed has some Magic to perform. Same 'ol useless generation of skunk. Kalo Kalo Govt. ruling Kalo Kalo Nation. I bet these new @sswipes has begun plotting out to loot the budget in their repsective division. A lost Nation, i've lost hope in that nation. Only God can bring another Idiagbon to clean up the mess called Nigeria. The day Igbo man rule Nigeria, it's the day Nigeria is finished. Look at Igbo states? When ibo man, he brings his mother with him look at Kalu for example. |

MyJoe: I cant pen down the ownership of the banks and that is no reason why I must agree that whoever you have in mind own most of them. Again name those blue chip institutions and hotels and the owners and lets see who is incharge there. Import and export are not just fine. Our economy depend on them so much and one can rightly argue that that is where the big money is. Also bulk of the money being managed in the so called financial institutions are made from import and export. |

Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by MyJoe: 7:18pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
onye_ngbu:Address your own first two points and see my point. You do have a point about the importance of import and export to our economy. But you seem to miss the fact that a disproportionate amount of import is done by foreigners in Nigeria - the Labanese and Indians are very active there. Does that mean they control our economy. Well, that's an important section of the economy. But it takes more than that. And what, sir, do we export from Nigeria that is controlled by the SE? Oil, perhaps? Rubber? Groundnut? Cocoa? Palm oil? Agricultural products? Tin? So you think the money "being managed" in our "so-called financial institutions" belong to SE importers and exporters? That's new. |

Finally how does him appointing an Igbo man as army chief benefit YOU in particular Total Rubbish, your maid can run Nigeria, my bet she runs your life, your just rambling all about, FYI there is a power roadmap unveiled by the president in lagos, there is committee overseeing that headed by Prof Barth Nnaji an accomplished Nigerian, Nigeria is worth nothing I see the reason why you bolted outta the country, if its worth nothing why are you complaining, why don't you change your nationality, maybe you don't know http://www.nigeria.gov.ng/ that's the website for the Nigerian government, please before you start bashing try and research all the lame complaints you posted here weren't created by Jonathan so spare the man, You just a brainless spineless man who instead of contributing his quota decides to bolt, I pity you |

Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Gbawe: 7:25pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
Why are Nigerians so naive and easy to decieve? Jonathan is empowering the Igbos ? Pull the other leg !!! This is nothing but another "do or die" action to facilitate the emergence of men who will support the electoral grand theft of 2011 being planned by Jonathan at the instigation of OBJ (him of the "worst election in history" fame ) and other adherrents of "operation totality" . Every President we have had , since 1999, has appointed Police and service Chiefs totally out of political expediency , rather than a meritocratic placement of distinguished and deserving Nigerians , in the search for men and women who will help them achieve electoral theft and the bullying of Nigerians . We all saw this in Ekiti when ballots were snatched and collated in a Police Station !!!!! We should all be ashamed of how important position is used by the Presidency partisanly as part of an effort that excludes the need to build strong institutions as Obama chided us over in his Ghana speech. Wake up and smell the coffee . Like the EFCC actions against the 'dissenting' Governors failing to support Jonathan and the fake Halliburton trial, it is "operation totality" guiding this move. Jonathan will be bad news for Nigeria but most of us will fail to see it because of how we are being patronised with ethnic 'banana' . http://saharareporters.com/news-page/axe-man-strikes-jonathan-shakes-army-police-navy-sss-new-faces-announced [b]Ringim was the Commissioner of Police in Bayelsa State when Jonathan served there briefly as governor. Police sources describe him as a very “wealthy” police officer, with homes in the United Kingdom and Spain. They also characterize him as a very intelligent man that may have been brought in to facilitate Jonathan’s electoral hopes next year, a euphemism for rigging.[/b]Maj. Gen. A. Dambazau, it will be recalled, is the army boss that collaborated in the smuggling of a comatose Umaru Yar’Adua into Nigeria last year, without the knowledge of Jonathan. |

GEJ is doing really great. We are solidly behind you. |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Nobody: 7:36pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
@Gbawe are the present appointees not deserving of it ?, That's Sahara Reporters accusation of Ringim, they knew about this guy and never blew the whistle before now, The same Sahara reporters were crying blue murder for Jonathan not removing Danbuazzu, they cried blue murder and demanded for onovo's sack for incompetence and disobeying a court order, My bet even if wole soyinka was made police boss they still cry out |
Re: Jonathan Replaces Police Boss And Service Chiefs by Nobody: 7:38pm On Sep 08, 2010 |
Well i think the best Jonathan can do now is FIRE Farida Waziri and bring Ribadu onboard. This would ensure he contests and wins majority votes in 2011. Wisdom |
