didn't realise we ran a monarchy in Nigeria! Yaradua might as well scrap the judiciary while he is at it

Was their deportation sanctioned by our courts? It is very wrong to suggest that Y'Ardua is running a monarchical government. It is equally preposterous to say that the judiciary should be scrapped. Not too long ago someone, whom majority of Nigerians never voted into office, was playing God. He arrogated to himself the power to determine which court order to respect and which one to discard. You did not deem it fit then to make this unacceptable suggestions. For all I care, Y'Adua's respect for the rule of law and due process is a refreshing departure from the culture of impunity and disrespect to the judiciary and Nigerians which was exhibited by You Know Who immediate past administration

@Bannister,

Please pardon my ignorance. Was Adenuga, or any other Nigerian for that matter, ever deported by EFCC or any other organ of the previous government?

Furthermore, can a Nigerian be deported from the country of his birth, i.e. Nigeria?

Your answers are necessary for my essential memory upgrade.

Many thanks.

UncleTisha,

Ah, hold on my brother before you put in a requisition for a memory upgrade!

A Nigerian cannot be deported from Nigeria no matter his offence, nor is Yar'Adua constitutionally empowered to guarantee anyone of non-arrest.

I do not believe any of these stories. No one really know the discussion between Yar'Adua and Adenuga. Nigerians are specialists when it comes to filling missing gaps usually with negative stories.

God help us all!!

How can Yar' Adua make such a mistake. He should take the banks and Oil companies of Adenuga and Tinubu and the rest of the people Obasanjo enriched with national companies. Look at what Adenuga's Company is doing in the Niger Delta. Such people do not deserve national pardon.


NUPENG, PENGASSAN Threaten Strike Over Conoil/Belbop, Labour Dispute

---

By Francis Onoiribholo, Correspondent, Warri
Wed, 10 Oct 2007
A nationwide industrial crisis is looming in the oil industry, as National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) have placed their members on the alert for a showdown with the management of Conoil/Belbop Nigeria Limited.

The Warri Zonal Councils of NUPENG and PENGASSAN at the weekend frowned at the purported termination of all the union members’ appointment and violation of labour laws by the management of Conoil/Belbop Nigeria Limited.

In a statement signed by J.B. Asemota, chairman, NUPENG and Nicholas Nkwocha, chairman, PENGASSAN, Warri Zone and Aliyu Adamu, zonal secretary of PENGASSAN, the workers threatened to withdraw their services nationwide "except something urgent is done."
According to Adamu, "since last August till now, all union members had been locked out and their salaries withheld by the management of the company. "The management has also refused to enter into discussion with the unions, not withstanding the position of the Ministry of Labour, with a view to resolving all outstanding issues.

"As at today, they have gone ahead to issue notices of redundancy of its workforce, while at the same time conducting recruitment for new employees to take over the jobs of our members in the company. "These positions are unacceptable to Warri Zonal Council of NUPENG and PENGASSAN.
"We of NUPENG and PEGASSAN Warri Zone wish to draw the attention of the oil and gas industry, Federal Government and the general public of an impending industrial crisis that may be reminiscent of the June 12, 1993 democratic struggle. This stems from the flagrant violation of labour law, unfair labour practices and anti-union postures perpetrated by the management of Conoil/Belbop Nigeria Limited. Belbop Nigeria Limited is a company established and registered to recruit labour for upstream oil company, Conoil Producing Limited and Conoil PIc, its downstream petroleum marketing."

hmmmmh. thats some very relevant food for thought and i would be inclined agree with this position, and definitely keep it at the front of my mind when assessing the issue.
however, obj was a pretty unpredictable rival. so i suppose it might be possible that the subject just wanted to make assurance "doubly sure" as we say.
not every one is ready for do or die politics.

Our president should take it easy oo in trying to shake off the tag of Obasanjo's lapdog. Why promise to exonerate or prevent investigation in an alleged or possible corruption case? If Adenuga knows he's innocent then there is no need to get Yar Adua to call off EFCC before he returns home. Something is definitely fishy...

Thank you, I have nothing but admiration for your well thought out and objective positions.

This is the danger of too much of trying to make OBJ the standard. He is committing a lot of blunders in his bid to buy popularity by appearing to be anti-OBJ, what a dunce? Shagari was a lot better than this.
