ONLINE REACTIONS Ekweremadu petitions US on forgery suit A two-million-barrelsof-oil-a-day question
I must say I’m highly disappointed in the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, for complaining about the perceived infraction in the action of the government of his own country to another country, no matter how powerful. Only uneducated individuals who have no selfesteem, not to talk of our senior lawmakers, would have contemplated doing this kind of thing. Whatever happened to our claim for sovereignty and independence for about 56 years today? Why not ECOWAS, AU or even the UN? I don’t think doing this would have been befitting of even a Senator.

What a shameful ideology by a lawless lawmaker? Since when is USA our godfather with answers to every problem created by people like the so-called deputy senate president? Did this lawmaker write USA when he and his cohorts were cooking the book so that he could become the deputy Senate president? What is this man expecting the USA government to do – force the AGF to drop it? The country copied the USA system of democracy; can this lawmaker say that he wasn’t part of the group of people that bastardized the system by allocating hefty allowances and constituency projects to themselves and now asking for immunity to get away with their corruptions? The country will be better off if people like this are not allowed to be relevant in any political setting. We are all waiting to read/hear what his godfather of politics is going to do about his complaint. What a shame!

It seems like the Deputy Senate President is jittery concerning the forgery trial. I think it is too early to start calling a third party into the issue while the matter is in court. Let’s wait and see the outcome of the issue and allow the law to take its full course.

No matter the abracadabra you play, you won’t go free Mr. Deputy. If you’re honest, why writing USA? Defend yourself!

The resource curse or simply an oil curse? Whichever way it goes, one thing is definite and certain: No one is ever going to put up with the tantrums of spoilt terrorists who are routinely paid to keep the peace -bribed in disguise- would never hold the nation to ransom again. They may and can bomb all the pipelines they can lay their hands on but surely they cannot bomb their way to peace, never again. All that is needed is for the government to declare a waron-terror from the economic saboteurs who failed at the ballot box.

How disingenuous. You may as well say that it was the Americans that caused Nzeogwu's silly misadventure, or inculcated that lamentable xenophobia that still exists in the North, till date. This is superb, Mallam Mohammed.
