Jonathan Government Arrests Us -based Newspaper Columnist, Okey Ndibe by sandra123: 12:26am On Jan 09, 2011 |
Saharareporters just learnt minutes ago that the SSS at MMIA in Lagos arrested Okey Ndibe and detained, a columnist and US professor. Mr. Ndibe arrived on Turkish airlines at 9:31 PM (Nigerian Time). An Immigration officer handed his passport to an State Security Service (SSS) who instructed him to get his luggage and come with them. One SSS officer named "Mr. George" told Mr. Ndibe his supervisor needed to see him on the first floor at room 1062. http://www.nigerianpaperstoday.com/2011/01/08/jonathan-government-arrests-us-based-newspaper-columnist-okey-ndibe-at-murtala-mohammed-airport-in-lagos/ |

You should read Okey Ndibe's last article on Sahara Reporters. Maybe that's what pissed the GEJ crew off. He actually said one of GEJ's people called him up to get his opinion on how Jona was doing but he bluntly replied with exactly what he thought Let's hope this is not a trend o |

Sure, the @Poster made a mistake there but that still should not remove from what happened to this man. Imagine the FBI/not INS showing up to cart you away when next you step into any US airport. ROFLMAO!! I mean sure in this case it is the SSS but that don't make it any less terrifying. lol |

^^ if you were referring to my earlier post which has now been confined to the bins, i later realized that seizing an individual's National passport, and demanding that he/she does things they wouldn't have done, could be argued as a case of arrest or intimidation as the case may be, hence the reason i withdrew my earlier argument! |

How does meeting a state security officer in a room in an airport amount to an arrest? |

Kobojunkie: The US does this all the time. It's called rendition. If the man was arrested, there must be a good reason. Why is it that anything done by any law enforcement agent that a poster doesn't like is attributed to the government? This mindset is childish. |

oh dear! Ndibe has been and still remains one of most favorite columnist. Though I speculate, i suspect that this article must have struck a nerve.(presidential one perhaps? ) That, however, is just vintage Ndibe, giving it to you as it is: raw, unembellished, undiluted. You need to have seen some of articles on OBJ or Yard when they were in power. wesley80: then why was his passport seized? |

johndoe200: A man flies back into Nigeria and is picked up immediately by the SSS, and you attempt to twist this into some sort of Rendition. [b]Do you even know what a Rendition means [/b]and how your bringing it up here only gets me wondering even more if you have your brain screwed up right? |

wesley80: Soon you too , like someone else we all know, will cease to have any credibility with your blind defence of everything GEJ does . I don't know why some of us cannot use fairness , rather than bias (ethnic or otherwise) , as a consistent yardstick to guide our utterances. What Jonathan is doing now was exactly what insecure Yar Adua was doing i.e our former President , rather than getting on with his job, was dictatorially using the SSS to unfairly harrass those who wrote what he did not like. I keep saying Jonathan is "more of the same" and he keeps proving me right . He is exactly like Yar Adua. They are both accidental leaders who never sought power and are therefore very uncomfortable and insecure with it. Both were pathetically unprepared for the scrutiny the office of President brings and were overwhelmed by the constant and stinging criticism of their poor performance borne of innate incompetence and commically laughable unpreparedness for office. Jonathan has nothing to offer as his poor performance , as President, attest to . Okey Ndibe highlights this to the embarrassment of a clueless Presidency . Jonathan must also have been stung by how Ndibe (see below) indicates that the abject poorness of GEJ is making Atiku look like a decent and almost credible choice in comparison. After being held for several hours he was released after he was made to give his Nigerian address, but just before he was released, his Nigerian passport was seized by the agency. They requested that he appears before the Kingsway Road office of the agency on Monday to interview with their director for further action few weeks ago one of his acolytes telephoned to ask me what I thought of Mr. Jonathan. “Very little,” I answered, then explained that the man had neither achieved any politically bankable results nor demonstrated any awareness of the depth of Nigeria’s manifold crises. My caller then made a claim that Jonathan had not produced results because he was still on “Yar’Adua’s time.” Once Jonathan received his own four-year term, pronto, he’d become superman and dazzle us with achievements. |
