You were in a Niger Delta wear. Answer me now it's a ques. You were driving in a...kiloruko Motor yiii oooo ……Golf."

Oh Lord Behold the Banana Republic.

This video just turned my insides, VOR

When are we ever going to get mad enough to rise against this baasatrds?

Auspicious.

And..

Why are they begging?

Why are those journalists begging?

What right do those people have to tell a grown man to kneel down?

Did they catch them with anything?

Why allow themselves to be humiliated like that, guilty or not (which I doubt they are!)?

Auspi,

I think they were begging because, at that point in time, they did not expect to leave that place alive.

Now you can understand why I rise up against BO before it reaches this level.

Sorry, but I'm afraid that the only thing you rise up for when it comes to President Barack Obama is for hate and intolerance and discrimination against your own - period.

That is how you have been and that is how you continue to be: driven by the very same instincts that made our forbears victims of others who thought they were better than them.

Now, that is VERY different from what we have here - very different, Rose.

Auspi,

Oh my God..

Sometimes I feel I'd rather die than allow someone do that to me.

Of course I am aware it is not always so until one confronts it all.

Auspicious.

[valteena]

So what did the media houses of these journalist do about this or the NUJ. Or didn't these journalist report these abuses?

I don't want to believe something that is on record like this for all to see was not taken up further by the victims or on their behalf by the above relevant bodies.

[chaos.com]

Auspi, this is just a shame and many do not even know these goes on all the time too.

See how grown up man is begging for his life

[Auspicious]

See how grown up man is begging for his life

That's exactly what gets me.

That man is a husband and/or a father to somebody ou there, being abused by empowered rogues and opportunists for no other possible reason than he was carrying out his duties of reporting an electoral excercise.

Imagine one said he'd blast the man's head - just like that?

I pray these folks will reap theirs sooner rather than later.

Auspicious.

Appalling...........but the first question that jumps to mind is why it took so long for the video to surface?

After all these years in Texas, I thought your command of the English Language would have been better than it was back when you spent weeks on the farm, far out of town on the banks of "Time Imo River".

Otherwise, you'd know that I didn't say I would die. On the contrary, I said, "sometimes I feel" like I would rather die than edure such a thing. Alas, here you are trying to ignite another session of ethnic-bashing.

As an Adult, such should be waaaay beneathe you. But who am I kidding? Because a section of the country didn't join your side in an unfortunate civil war has always been a cannon-fodder for your insults. Shame!

Could it be a deal gone wrong? It seems to me this video was taking by someone on the side of the perpetrators. I doubt outsiders would have been given the opportunity to film what was going on in there!

Val, may be in a normal society, there would have been repercussions for these types of treatment, but remember this is Nigeria we are talking about here. Upon all the assault, the powers that be could have even shut down the media houses of the journalists concerned, were there be complaints from them.

This country has been reduced to a jungle, where there's no respect for human beings, especially if you don't belong to the few "elites". The law is meant for certain category of people. Those running the country and their goons are above the law in all ramifications.

Majority are just helpless, hoping for the best. It's a shame that after 49 years of independence, we are not faring better, if not even worse. Well, there are no longer colonial masters to blame for our woes, but ourselves.

Eherm, are those journalists still alive?
Is there a way to get a hold of them for a one on one interview?

And we call this a democracy? The other day we had agagu accolades here live on NVS still raking the he has confidence in the appeal courts..why wont he when he has thugs who can do away with people without notice..eyi le gan ni...here we are yet with this revelation about Segun Oni's Goons

Hey, FSU!

I thought you were ALL about "profering solutions" to Nigerian problems, as opposed to jumping in the air and clapping to celebrate others' travails - or does this look like something worthy of celebrating 'in your eye'?

May God not let you find yourself in such a situation.

You better say "Amen".

Auspy of Ekiti,

This video is enough reason why Nigeria should be either divided into the different tribes or handed to foreigners to run and repair for us. In a full-blooded Yoruba country, Oni will not do this and go scot-free. He went scot-free now because he has Abuja (non-yoruba) backing.

Once again congrats to EKITI for another trail-blazing episode, the first being the half nude women protesting an election.

[dapxin]

For the duratoin of the vide-play, I sat transfixed, memories of even worse beating I once took from member oof Onovo's police force rushing @ me.

In my case, those folks were armed. In this case, these lot are also armed. Not with guns, of course, but cheer Ignorance.

I just feel, whatever gains we think / hope to get in the courts (Uba's courts by the way) as per the state of this cancerous madness are too little too slow, to have any major impact.

This namespace deserves an earth-shaking upHeaval....the people's revolt. Its so overdue.

Your rejoicement is in bad taste - utterly, shamelessly and unconscionably distasteful. This is not funny at all, and no community is immune from such in Nigeria. Unless you want to tell us that the daring Kidnap of an incumbent State Governor happened not in Nigeria, but in The Gambia - superego's country, where we plan to deport him soon so that he can join his boss (Gambian President) in using 'juju' to "cure" AIDS over there.

You are now attempting to make plain thuggery a tribal issue, how does the abuse we see in that video clip translate to dividing Nigeria along racial lines? Did you notice there was a second video about observers dehumanized also and one of the observers was obviously Yoruba and speaking it fluently? I begi, please slow down!

That video is why changing Nigeria is a do or die situation. As we can see, it may not have taken much for those 3 men to have gone from that situation to death, just suppose there was a drunken powerbroker in their mist.

BUT!!! Having said that, as somebody else has noted, this video was produced by those actually carrying out the abuse, so we need to know the full story behind this. Why did the abusers feel the need to film the interrogation? A set up? Framing of innocents? Proof of what exactly?

Anyhow, the bottom line: For all of you (us) who say we want to change Nigeria, I hope you now understand what you are up against, and as we know, even worse. Still interested?

Footnote: Any wonder why now the gubernatorial candidates in some Delta (and other) states had to produce their own private armies?

[Ednut]

Did one of those guys say that he was not Igbo?

[Count1]

This is not funny! This is unbelievable! And very sad!. We cannot make light of this! Someday these people should be brought before an Aassizes to answer to their crimes!

The Count, I agree with you that this is not funny at all. I assume you are based in Nigeria. If so, will be possible to follow up on this issue.

Someday these people should be brought before an Aassizes to answer to their crimes!

I wonder how soon that'll be.


(Before someone takes a tribal swipe on me, I am not from Ekiti or SW for that matter. But what's bad is bad, regardless of where it happens).

Nah, subtract 15 years from that.
