Read fer press statement below:
I am shaken; I am outraged, I am devastated, I feel mortally wounded. The situations in Mubi and Port Harcourt were terrible. Did you see the video-recording of how students were killed in Port Harcourt? Is this not the same country where it is emotionally difficult when you see a corpse on the street?
I am sorry; I am totally outraged like any decent citizen of a nation that we love. The killings were barbaric, mere savagery and very devastating. Some people are acting or behaving as if there are no people in charge of the government. "Something is fundamentally wrong with our society: To see the dastardly mob killing of four misguided youths(Port Harcourt's) who stole sank my optimism. Noo! Even in death, these four must get justice. My voice shall be heard on this. What have we become? Please click to continue.
"We used to be better than this. What has psychologically traumatized our people? There is a fundamental problem; there is a breakdown in something that is proudly Nigeria. I cannot believe that our society has got to this level. We are broken, we need to be mended and nobody will mend it other than ourselves
We are getting to the precipice and we need to pull ourselves back. The government has to take full responsibility; it has to be in charge to prevent anarchy. The only way out is for the government to prove that it is really in charge.
We are a nation of 150million people; we are not a small country. If the situation continues like this, we cannot survive a large-scale conflict. It does not do us good to befell into a nation of conflagration.
We have to watch it. A lot of countries that have had genocidal experience started like this.
We have too many problems to descend into a state of anarchy again. How can we all sit and watch impunity.
The thing that has psychologically traumatise our people like u ask is the total failure of you & your cohorts @ the helm of affairs in this nation. If people have faith in the judicial & security system this wudnt have happened. If you guyz have created an enabling environment for d citizenry poverty wouldn't ve taken away peoples conscience replacing it wif somefin below that of an animal. Goverment is the problem & until that is fix we will only kip ranting without result to show for it. But then justice must be done.
ReplyDelete....@seglon
*claps*..... You spoke my mind. I find it funny when govt officials complain about the government. Isn't that like shooting ones self in d foot?
DeleteDumbass she is not a government official she just ha a very good job as a banker.
DeleteWay too on point. Tell them make them hear
DeleteONOME says.....
Delete*clapping for u while standing* These people created this environment. This has been going on in Nigeria for a very very long time. Nigerians are broken, Nigerians are angry, Nigerians have taken laws into their hands. Madam u created the situation. You and those in ur govt. Pls quit with the "surprised" anger. We demand justice. Where was the police in the whole saga??? Fire them all. I have seen pictures of the police brutalising people,asking them to do frog jump;beating them with batons. What did u do then?? Justice for all
Nice one there.
DeleteShe hasn't been a Govt official in years. Just finished her tenure in World bank. But I agree she's part of the rot
DeleteSo?,,, But she was once in Govt!! Can't be completely absolved from blame.
DeleteWell spoken bro
DeleteStupid ill informed misguided cunt. Dats how uv insulted her wifout knowing shit.
DeleteWhere is maximumu? Bia come and say dis one wants publicity na. Onye ara onu nkapi.
ReplyDeleteMadam you have spoken well, please back up your grammar with actions. We are watching. #dasall
ReplyDeletePlzz ma do somfin we α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ keen on Justice Ooº°˚ ˚°ºo
ReplyDeleteThis woman wowo no be small
ReplyDeleteIs that y we are here??? Ehen ignoramus??? With that your stupid samsung E700 that u are using to post dis comment! She will comfortably take u and ur family in2 her boys quaters and feed u 4 d rest of ur dull life! Pls if u secondary school allows under 17 to play football, we won't allow u to make stupid comments here and get away wt it! Now go and do ur home work!!
Delete**** Mufasa Said
So out of evrithg dat she said and d recent happenings, d only thing u picked is her physical attributes? Misplaced priorities for sure.
DeleteU r a big fool. Han han ! I can't believe she dint make some sense into ur primary 2 skull,all u were concerned bout is wot she looks like.she'ld buy u n ur rotn family
DeleteWhile everyone blames the people of Aluu, the origin of this societal decay could be traced back to Govt.What if the Police has been active, would vigilantes be required?This woman should put a sock in it and direct her anger to the govt, which she is a part of
ReplyDeleteHeard it all before! Same ol bullshit, different roll of toilet paper! I feel her pain 'cos I know she's a mother, so the video must have struck a nerve in her. Nonetheless, it's all water on stone because as tough as she may seem, she can't fight this menace on her own.
ReplyDeleteThe death of these 4 young chaps came down to one thing - Nigeria is a failed failed failed state! And Oby Ezekwesili cannot salvage this monstrosity on her own. The men in the government will suppress her and her voice 'cos that's all they're used to - shutting women off!
The poverty that the government has inflicted on it's people is what has psychologically traumatized our people.
ReplyDeleteIs that why we are here? Please let us see your own face and your own creation!then maybe your useless opinion would count!
ReplyDeleteMadam obi, I am a mother too and have not been able to sleep or reason well or even take care of my children since this port harcourt thing. Uptil now am still crying for their death as if they were mine. Pls ma on my kneel begging you to use all ur power and influence to make sure this doesn't go under the carpet like others. "Sobbing seriousely"
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a corrupt nation,even when you must well and want to bring abt change,there r sum agents of destruction who just wanna frustrate ur efforts. Oby Ezekwesili tried in her ability bt water pass gari. Ppl like Atiku,IBB,OBJ,Danjuma will never come out 2condemn the Mubi and Aluu killings naw,they r the actual reason Nigeria is d way it s 2day. All these old politicians dat we've been hearing abt since independence,dey think dey can use the blood of d youth 2sustain demselves n deir greed for power,they v failed. They won't succeed!
ReplyDeleteLuca where art thou?
ReplyDeleteMy view on the Killings of uniport students.
ReplyDeleteI've been saying this but nobody seems to be seeing things from this point of view. UNIPORT should be held accountable for the loss of the lives for the following reasons.
1. The deplorable state of the hostels is what has driven students to stay in the village. I know this because i was once that hell-hole. The toilets are a chlamydia lab, the bathroom is a no-go area. We had our bath in the quadrangle outside and even pooped in nylon bags and shot-put over the fence. We cooked on the pavement beside our room becos you cant go near the kitchen. There was always power cuts as well. Even i told myself that no matter what it took, even if it meant aristo, i would move to the village once i got a chance. Thankfully, that chance didnt come as my mum thoughtfully removed me from the school after a few months.
2. Students have been raped and robbed in their thousands in the village. I was robbed at shiny machete point myself! This alone should have been a huge incentive for the school to make the campus more habitable for students so they wont have to endanger their lives. At the very least, if the story we are hearing that the Aluu 4 went to aluu to collect money....if the student was in the hostel, they wouldnt have needed to go into that hell and be killed. Uniport knows aluu has been suffering from armed robberies in recent past, did they issue a warning to students to avoid this village??
3. How long would uniport take to eradicate cultism from that school?? Uniport is very dangerous in this area. Cultists run amok!! Look at the issue of gangs here in london, it has drastically reduced. Most of those who partook in the riots last year have been jailed or reprimanded by the justice system. Why cant uniport take this cultism seriously once and for all?? what would it take?? You dont hear about cult in unilag and their activities in the south west are very mild.
UNIPORT you have blood on your hands of all the students that have been raped and killed in the name of education in that backward zoo. Pls no well-meaning parent should put their child in that school till they sort themselves out.
Maximus Gbam! Lol I always luv ur catch phrases (same bs diff roll of toilet paper...Loool u killed it!). Couldnt av said it any better
ReplyDeleteAbeg madam Oby shld go and drink garri jor! This reminds me of Dora Akunyili number one noise maker...the emptiest vessel that made the loudest noise while in govt
ReplyDeleteLol MAXImus I like reading your comments
ReplyDeletemaximumu itk oh because this line is wrong - The men in the government will suppress her and her voice 'cos that's all they're used to - shutting women off!
ReplyDeleteTell Okonjo Iweala that. This woman tried but wasn't in government long enough to effect change. She keeps saying no when asked to come back. too sensible.
The comments insulting Mrs. Ezekwesili are unfortunate. This woman is one of the shinning lights of our time. I wonder if those insulting the former VP of the World Bank even know anything about her at all. When she was in government she was known as "madam due process". She had such a high level of integrity and this showed through in all her dealings. It's truly regrettable that our youths are so ill-informed in this country. BTW, she is no longer in government.
ReplyDeleteThose of you complaining about government and insulting Mrs Ezekwesili, a number of you are not even in Nigeria, so it seems quite easy for you to harangue those with good intentions and shut them down. What have you contributed to the development of this country in your own little way. How have you positively represented the Nigerian image? Ask yourself before you shut down one of the few who have done this nation proud.
Madam, I quite agree with your stance on this issue and will support any legitimate move in support of justice for the Aluu 4.
it is very very easy to blame the govt for the rot but the pertinent question is are we the only ones going through such sufferings? why are other african countries who are in worse situation not burning thieves like we do
ReplyDeletethe gleaming rich china beamed out to foreign media is that of trillionaires but there are chinese people living and eating what the poorest nigerian will not even touch doesn't mean they go out lynching and burning thieves... even the countries associated with regressive and barbaric acts still have a system of law and order they follow before cutting off body parts
in a university town,i refuse to accept that there were no sizeable number of fellow students who were witnesses to what happened why didn't they raise an alarm and do something to at least stop the lynching/
where were the student union govt officials when the students were beaten and then burnt?
i am cock sure that some students who were witnesses and watching the whole thing with fascination will be amongst the rioters and people condemning the acts..
for me i will continue to say it that the fault lies with us as individuals first before we start blaming government,nigeria is the only country we have,and giving up on the country while transferring all the blame to govt is not only simplistic but moral cowardice on our part
This are the words, I cudnt use to express...... I love you Luca.
DeleteLadun don't hold my comments again. Stop it already. *rolln me eyes*
Deleteehn buh MAXI that ur notion get as e be. If us women don't come togeda and stand up for ourselves who will? If Oby decides to b the voice of change naija needs the little we can do is giv her som moral support. I think we need a female presido in nigeria...
ReplyDeletePls no one should insult Oby. Instead face Diezani,na she b d govt thief. She never condemns anytin,all she does s flaunt her diamonds in our faces with those her big eyes.
ReplyDeleteIts not the govt, its actually us. Like she said we are broken. What have we done? Was it the govt who kill the 4 Aluu boys? The govt! The govt!! The govt!!! The govt shouldn't be a reason for normal people to be a menace, murderers, heartless, filled with so much hate. The govt don't function and might not do anything about this evil. But!!! Its not the govt.
