only igbo businessmen were robbed and murdered in their shops in broad daylight. that sparked the 3 day business strike which crippled the town. igbo community leaders had a meeting wih the governor and officially laid their complaint about the insecurity of lives and property. Soldiers and policemen being killed have no particular ethnicity. They are killed randomly. |

Baga road, baban line (electronics market), and bank of the north area (used spare parts) are the major areas where 3 igbo businessmen were robbed and shot. the motorcycle dealer survived. |

It is happening in Kwara, Borno, Lagos and soon everywhere! KWARA: Father is the political leader, son is governor, sister is in the senate, and guess what, eight years later, the best a whole state can come up with is to switch from brother to sister(governor). That is what is in the making and may likely happen LAGOS: Husband is the party leader, wife goes to the house of assembly, inlaws and cousins are also there. Family affair. BORNO: Husband will go back to senate( after being the senator and governor for twelve years), brother becomes governor and wife goes to the house of reps. Another family affair. The Obansanjo's, even Bankole are also examples of family affair politics been practised in Nigeria. And most ignorant Nigerians fail to see our decmocarcy as Nigerians colonising Nigerians gradually. Some really dump ones give examples of the Kennedy's and co in the US. They fail to understand that with no results to show for your tenure you are politically dead in the US. Even sex scandals can get you out of office in a jiffy. My problem with all these set up is this; why do we have learned men/women still hanging around and doing ''ranka dede'' for all these men that ensalving them and their own unborn kidds. A poor, uneducated man may be excused. We all need to wake up and tell oureselves the truth. Nigeria, as a nation, is on a path to destruction quickly and there is no way back if we don't understand te fact that the same set of people that caused the problem are the ones we are looking up to, to provide solutions. PATHETHIC! |

rman: i hope you know that those parts of nigeria that do these things are monarchical in their thinking hence they do not particularly see any problem with those arrangements? |

Re: Breaking News : Governorship Candidate Shot Dead. by samparian(m): 11:15am On Jan 30, 2011 |
at least in Lagos we are not talking about the governor and his immediate family. ok, this is the history. 1999-2003: Ali Modu Sheriff - Senator 1999-2003: Mala Kachallah - Governor (Best man to the wedding of governor's father and his godfather as an infant) disgreement between the two and Sheriff runs Kachallah out of ANPP and eventually the government house in 2003. 2003-2011: Ali Modu Sheriff - Governor 1999-2011: His father benefits from all state contracts For the past 8 years the governor has NEVER slept in the government house. He stays with his father in GRA and rides to the office daily in a convoy of over 15 SUVs which include his precious 2 Hummer jeeps |

Should going into politics mean going about in bullet-proof vests, amoured vehicles? Proposing armed men around one's self and the family? Should it mean being armed all the time, even when making love to your wife? |

I still believe the learned and the educated are the MAIN problem of Nigeria, the whine and nag, but never ready to challenge the problems. Then why do you claim to be better than the unlearned? why do you call others illiterates if you can't help solve these same problems the illiterates can't solve? |

If a governor couldn't save his own, what hope is there for the common man? I think I've learnt shaform these mindless killings to avoid gtherings especially where poltiicians and big men are plentiful. ![]() |

@ Redman you're quite correct. the town has changed from "Home of Peace" to Terrorist State. though i'm sorry about the dead, i'm glad this act has gotten the attention of the high and mighty. Masses have been living in fear and complaining all these while and nothing was done about it. |

Let the police investigate this properly. Yorubas are at it again. Its an attack by Yoruba hired assassins . They have moved their wild wild west and rascalism to the north. |
