>
> In a nationwide broadcast to announce the emergency rule in line with the power conferred on him by section 305 of the 1999 constitution as amended, the President noted that �The activities of insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible, causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country, especially the North. We have taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these crises, but it would appear that there is a systematic effort by insurgents and terrorists to destabilize the Nigerian state and test our collective resolve� They have attacked government buildings and facilities. They have murdered innocent citizens and state officials. They have set houses ablaze, and taken women and children as hostages. These actions amount to a declaration of war and a deliberate attempt to undermine the authority of the Nigerian state and threaten her territorial integrity. As a responsible government, we will not tolerate this.� Read more @ http://huhuonline.com/index.php/gc/1466-jonathan-and-the-emergency-rule

It is either that he/she has fresh facts to put on the table or he/she is visibly hurt by the truth and potency of the article. Since Mr. Kingsley Kuku, Jonathan�s adviser on amnesty spoke about how the re-election of his boss can only be a guarantee for peace in the Niger Delta in 2015, many Nigerians have reacted. At the last count, I read more than ten of such reactions before I wrote mine. I thought that I wrote a harmless and ordinary piece, offering suggestions on how President Jonathan and his associates can make progress and reduce their blunders as 2015 election approaches.

I read a version on the web earlier today. It is amusing that the author of the article does not have the courage to unmask himself. That is the first place where he got it wrong. How can someone who wants to be taken seriously hide his identity?

>
> In a nationwide broadcast to announce the emergency rule in line with the power conferred on him by section 305 of the 1999 constitution as amended, the President noted that �The activities of insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible, causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country, especially the North. We have taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these crises, but it would appear that there is a systematic effort by insurgents and terrorists to destabilize the Nigerian state and test our collective resolve� They have attacked government buildings and facilities. They have murdered innocent citizens and state officials. They have set houses ablaze, and taken women and children as hostages. These actions amount to a declaration of war and a deliberate attempt to undermine the authority of the Nigerian state and threaten her territorial integrity. As a responsible government, we will not tolerate this.� Read more @ http://huhuonline.com/index.php/gc/1466-jonathan-and-the-emergency-rule

It is either that he/she has fresh facts to put on the table or he/she is visibly hurt by the truth and potency of the article. Since Mr. Kingsley Kuku, Jonathan�s adviser on amnesty spoke about how the re-election of his boss can only be a guarantee for peace in the Niger Delta in 2015, many Nigerians have reacted. At the last count, I read more than ten of such reactions before I wrote mine. I thought that I wrote a harmless and ordinary piece, offering suggestions on how President Jonathan and his associates can make progress and reduce their blunders as 2015 election approaches. I was therefore extremely surprised that someone can adopt a pseudonym Sele Moses to write a rebuttal to my piece last week titled Kuku and his co-apostles of anarchy. I read a version on the web earlier today. It is amusing that the author of the article does not have the courage to unmask himself. That is the first place where he got it wrong. How can someone who wants to be taken seriously hide his identity? If you are really a supporter of President Jonathan, then you must step forward with your real identity and associate with him openly. Anyway, I reckon that you are not even proud of your hatchet mission and I can understand your dilemma. I feel you.
