Is this Democracy??? WTF!!!

According to http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-134234#postComment

On the third of november 2008 on Muhri Okunola Street, victoria Island Lagos, the traffic was chaotic. A young lady (Uzoma Okere) driving home from work didn't move her vehicle out of the way of a millitary convoy on time, resulting severe beatings by armed Nigerian Navy men. The convoy consisted of Rear Admiral Harry Arogundade's personal Navy saloon car and his pilot truck, consisting of 6 armed bodyguards. The body guards in the process physically beat up several Price WaterHouse Coopers staff and destroyed cameras that were filming the event as it unfolded. The video clip was recorded from the PricewaterHouseCoopers office on a personal camera.

This is an utter disgrace to the Nigerian military. A disgrace to the country. How these fools have the nerve and total disregard to strip a woman, A WOMAN, naked on the streets of Lagos. It is beyond my.........Can't even think of a word to describe how furious i am.

This is the ISH that makes me get so mad...what in all thing good makes someone think that just because they have some warped sense of power they can treat other human beings like this? Do they not have mothers or sisters or any female in their lives worth noting that would give them pause to say hang on this isn';t right...??

Injustice happens here but the day you see US forces beat up a woman and drag her like that for not moving off the road for a General is the day America will have another civil rights march.
Come on, what happens if you don't yield for emergency vehicles? You get a ticket, that's it - a ticket.

What happened to that woman is not injustice. That was abuse, bullying, ignorant abuse of power and any other term that can define the rat sized thinking of those idiots.

Instead of being infuriated and not doing anything about it, we should find a way to deal with this situation. I t is not the first time the Navy is doing this.
Do you remember the guy who was shot in Ikeja because his Okada hit a naval officer's car?
