Re: [Goanet] Goanet NEWS. Nigerian killed in gang war in Goa
I must have arrived on the scene just as it was unfolding. Around 11:45 a.m. yesterday (31/10) I was travelling on my scooter from Mapusa to Porvorim, when I encountered a traffic jam just before I reached the O'Coqueiroo restaurant. Nobody around me knew what was happening. Some thought it was a traffic accident, and somebody was killed. It was gridlock. Someone started moving the portable road dividers and flinging them around. I saw my opportunity to get out of the jam. Weaving my scooter between cars I crossed over through where the dividers were removed on to the other side of the road and made it out of the jam. It took me a while to get out of the congestion to get home. The persons who created the commotion were big burly guys, with our puny or potbellied police with their light bamboo sticks (if they had one) cowering in fear. When a female police officer came on the scene, one of the assailants unzipped his pants and XXX, causing her to hide her face and get away from the scene. It was chaotic. Some citizens berated the police for their inaction and wanted to take law in their own hands. The situation presumably escalated as the troublemakers got reinforcements from their friends. A friend called and told me to watch our local TV channel to see what was going on. It was an ugly scene. This was an eyeopener for Goa and raised a number of issues. Foreigners, mostly from an African country come to Goa on fake or spurious student visas. Goans rent rooms to them, as they' apparently have loads of cash. Some of these folks are reputed to be involved in the drug trade. As the situation unfolded, the police either did not call for reinforcements or they did not get support. Our policemen are ill equipped to deal with a situation like this. I hope this is an eyeopener, for our politicians. As tourists pour into Goa we do not need episodes like this.
[Goanet] Bus Stand in Dona Pay is a Necessity
To, the Editor Navhind Times Panjim Kindly publish this letter in your My take column. Thanks Regards Stephen Dias D.Paula Mob: 9422443110CM NEEDS TO GIVE HIGH PRIORITY FOR A BUS STAND AT DONA PAULA Recently an accident took place on the slope of the NIO Dona Paula junction road. An excavator (JCB) damaged three 4- wheelers after hitting a scooter. There were two ladies from Pune on the scooter who were proceeding to Dona Paula jetty for sight seeing. One of the ladies succumbed to her injuries after being taken to GMC and the other one has multiple fractures and is seriously hurt. This is the latest in many accidents in this area. This area is prone to accidents and the Govt. or Traffic Dept is yet to find solution. The main reason for this problem is that the road is quite narrow and the drivers cannot control their vehicles on account of several inters state tourist buses being parked at the NO Parking Zone at this junction. Also we see regular D.Paula-Panjim buses parking on this circle openly in front of the Police D.Paula Outpost making it difficult to maneuver the traffic. The Dy SP from the Traffic Cell Mr Angle has told me that he made many attempts to get a Bus Stand for these tourists’ buses as well as for the local buses and even he has attempted to write several reminders to the Government, Raj Bhavan, CCP and the Tourism dept asking for a place for a Bus stand, but unfortunately nothing has come up. We, the D.Paula residents request our Chief Minister to intervene and solve this situation. Even our CCP Mayor Surendra Furtado and the Governor, are seen everyday moving in this circle but no action has been taken by them to widen the road. At the very least the parking of vehicles haphazardly at the D.Paula circle should be stopped as they do not observe the traffic signs and thus make it difficult for us to ply our vehicles on these roads. It is very essential to have some appropriate parking arrangement and a Bus Stand. The Dy.SP suggested a place near Caranzalem Park but Mrs. Pamela Mascarenhas (tourism dept.) replied in the negative. She said that the Central Govt plot near the Caranzalem Park at Water Sports complex could not be transferred to the state govt. However, adjacent to that we have an area close to the Caranzalem Park which could be ideal for a Bus Stand. The D.Paula Jetty should be taken as NO vehicle entry, as the road is very narrow. Tourists should visit this place by walking and not by vehicles. The Dy. Collector must put up the sign board for these vehicles not to ply to the jetty. The Dona Paula Outpost Police station is not in position to control this mess of tourist vehicles everyday which are seen all the time parked on the roads, especially in the tourist season, around the NIO circle because they do not have a solution. Will CM take note of this and make arrangements for a Bus Stand to find out a remedy of this congestion? Stephen Dias Resident of D.Paula Social Worker Mob: 9422443110 Date: 1.11.13

[Goanet] Trick of treat?
Folks, Today is the day when people in Toronto don costumes and go out celebrating. It usually is (to me) one of the most enjoyable days of the year. The younger trick or treaters are dressed early and are the first to arrive at your doorstep. It is an absolute delight to answer the doorbell and see an adorable two year old girl dressed up as a fairy. Even more enjoyable is to watch them skip up the driveway, fascinated that all the neighbours will give them sweets and all they have to do is beam and say, Trick or treat? It is easy to figure out who is five years or older. These kids now have a say in what they are going to dress up as and last years dreamy four year old fairy, suddenly becomes a five year old zombie. The older the kids get, the more macabre their costumes become. My favourites are those with one eye falling from their skulls. The more daring transform into murderers. There always is a wide spectrum of axe, knife and sword wielding characters who are happy to demand candies and flee, in glee, when their goal is achieved. The more creative kids arrive with a bloody mess where their head should be. Tucked into one arm, the way a rugby player tucks the ball, is their real head. Such costumes are a sight to behold. A lot of front yards are converted into mock graveyards. It can be cold, it can be rainy, it can be both and windy too as it was today. This only adds to the setting. Imagine this if you can, the fallen leaves are swirling and wavering in the wind. There is a bunch of excited, pre-teen, murderers walking down the street. A slow mist is creeping up around the lamp posts and there is nothing but excitement in the air. Their talk, believe it or not, is about candies. And sometimes about whose house to go to next. What the kids do not notice is the elaborate set ups that some parents have taken the trouble to construct. Those celebrating will have stuff anyone can buy from Wal-Mart. But there also is that one simple special pleasure. The pumpkin. Actually, the carved pumpkin. Carved pumpkins, ranging from the truly admirable to the almost disgusting. It is all part of the fun. It is also all part of the fun Toronto I live in. Mervyn (at the end of a great day.)

[Goanet] Nigerian act boisterously
Nigerians show the way Law and order in Goa is taking a turn for the worst It is a shame and disgrace to the law enforcing authority.Nigerians staying unauthorised in Goa had the gumption to stop the van taking the dead body of their colleague, attack the personnel , vandalise the hearse van and retrieve the body,As they stopped the traffic for 30 minutes, attacked passers by, destroyed public property, the police in numbers stood as mute, helpless spectators to the tamasha unfolded in full public view. They numbered about 50 individuals with police pose outnumbering them. The C.M thundered that Goans responsible will dealt strictly with the law.What about the unlawful activities. over staying put with impunity ? Now the promise to deport them is being talked about.What was the police so far was turning a blind eye? The MLA publicly is on record having drawn specific attention of the law enforcing agency about their shady dealings so far and even named the joint in the vicinity, operating till early morning and drugs were openly traded Nigerians have been apprehended in the past as drug promoters and dealers More is in store for the peace loving Goans from Russian, Israel war lords lurking peacefully in the state. How foreigners are permitted to engage in business is a wonder.A Goan has to undergo hassles and red tape to start legally any business The advent of festivals like dances, music like sunburn organised by for the benefit of tourist is scourge for the state,Casinos have brought in all the evils associated with such gambling activities more noticeably sex related massage shops and open prostitution.These are adversely affecting the locals, corrupting them totally May be we need more resources to implement more schemes waiting in the wings and the welfare of the citizens is sold at the alter of cheap popularity Nelson Lopes Chinchinim ** https://www.facebook.com/nelson.lopes.779#
[Goanet] Hijras, Bhadwas and other interesting traits of Goa's lawmakers
And no this isn't satire. Its a post press conference report. *Goa lawmakers slug it out; call each other hijras, bhadwas *Panaji: The political heat generated by the bizarre public clash between a Nigerian gang on the one hand, and police and locals on Thursday appears to have had Goa’s lawmakers frothing at the mouth. After an independent Opposition legislator Vijai Sardesai Thursday called the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led coalition, a government of hijras (eunuchs) the BJP Friday responded by calling him a bhadwa (pimp) at a press conference at the party’s state headquarters. Seated on the dais in the conference room, surrounded by large images of BJP’s prime ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi, party president Rajnath Singh and aging party stalwart Atal Behari Vajpayee, power minister Mahadev Naik took the political discourse in the state to a new level by saying that Sardesai was indulging in “bhadwagiri”. “He has been indulging in bhadwagiri all the time. That is how Sardesai has made his money. If he calls us a government of hijras on a TV debate, our response is that Sardesai is a hijra. He has spent a lot of time with hijras,” Naik told the press conference. BJP legislator from Sanguem Subhash Phaldesai even went on to give the media an eloquent definition of the word bhadwagiri. “Bhadwagiri means doing unethical dealings for money using political influence,” explained Phaldesai. Sardesai had in a TV debate Thursday night, attacked the police and the government for not being able to react in time, after a gang of Nigerians blocked National Highway -17 and held traffic to ransom for hours, after one of their compatriots was murdered. We legislators are not hijras. But this is a government of hijras, Sardesai had said.

[Goanet] A mile-long Treat !
Over fifty thousand revellers in outlandish costumes paraded down a Manhattan avenue for several hours. Two million came to watch, many thousands visiting from every continent in the world. One word best defined the mood of the day -'happyness.' It was a sea of humanity, folk at their very best: we probably feel the same way, at Ganapati time. In New York, demons brought people together in a manner never mastered by smiling heavenly cherubs: ironic, indeed. It is a day for children, to witness the joy they experience is a treat, but Mervyn and I will continue to gatecrash. The overcrowded pubs and bars in the city, with screams and laughter into the wee hours showed that people can be human, if they choose to do so. Word is Merv and Rolly were at the same party. eric.

Nigerian's death: Assailants are locals, complaint states TNN | Nov 1, 2013, 01.42 AM IST MAPUSA: The complaint filed by deceased Obada Uzoma Simeon's friend Obinna Paul Obi, states that three of them, including Uwalaka Franklin, were at a restaurant in Parra on Wednesday night, when around 9.30pm some locals started a quarrel with them. Leaving the restaurant on scooters they headed to their rented room at Brittowadda, when at Lobowaddo they were waylaid by some people in a car and on two-wheelers. They were assaulted with choppers and iron rods. Franklin and Obado lost control of their scooters and fell into bushes as they tried to run away. Later, while Obada's scooter was found, his body was found only in the morning with stab inquiries. Obinna has stated that the assailants are locals and have had conflicts with him and his friends in the past. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Nigerians-death-Assailants-are-locals-complaint-states/articleshow/25013745.cms * * * Obodo Uzoma Simeon's murder: Fallout of an old Anjuna rivalry? TNN | Nov 1, 2013, 01.52 AM IST ANJUNA: The murder of Obodo Uzoma Simeon and the ensuing rioting by Nigerians appear to be the crescendo of clashes between the foreigners and locals, in Anjuna, since last year. Tensions started in the coastal village around mid-2012 when a youngster from Caisua died of an alleged drug overdose. Locals believe it was Nigerians who peddled the lad the narcotics substance and clashes soon began between residents and the foreigners. By November 2012, the animosity had touched a raw nerve, this time of the Nigerians, after a countryman, 28-year-old Umach was beaten up. He supposedly had nothing to do with the drug-peddling often linked to Nigerians. Almost a year later, an incident in Chapora is believed to have been the trigger for Simeon's murder. Around 5pm on Wednesday (October 30), Ramchandra Dabolkar from Chapora filed a complaint at the Anjuna police station that while he was at the Chapora market two Nigerians blocked him with their scooter and showed him a packet containing something white, allegedly a narcotic substance. Dabolkar told the Nigerians that he would approach the police and proceeded towards the Anjuna police station, states his complaint, but the Nigerians allegedly blocked him at the station's main gate and assaulted him with fisticuffs. Both Nigerians were arrested. By 9.30pm, the clash between Nigerians and locals had broken out in Parra. Speaking to TOI on condition of anonymity, some locals in Anjuna said the animosity with Nigerians is largely over two reasons: they are annoyed with Nigerians who allegedly start fights for no reason or accost anyone they find walking alone at night, and two, drug-pushing in other peddlers' territories. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Obodo-Uzoma-Simeons-murder-Fallout-of-an-old-Anjuna-rivalry/articleshow/25013991.cms

Vakola near Santa cruz East in suburban Mumbai and Mira Road on the outskirts of Mumbai are known to be Nigerian and African strongholds with almost 300 Nigerians living in Mira Road itself. Some Nigerians have married Indian women from the lower strata of society including house maids and domestic helps which enables them to get local support here.* *Speaking to Newz66.com they said, “We have run away from Goa as we fear a witch hunt. Not all Nigerians are drug peddlers and criminals. By nature, many Nigerians are boisterous and loud, but this does not make us criminals. This is a regional or biological trait and Goans have taken us to be foul-mouthed and brazen.” * *One of them who identified himself as Paul Simeon (name changed) spoke on behalf of the Nigerians fleeing Goa saying, “There are over 1.2 million Indians living and working in Nigeria and many Indians too are hyper-charged. We protested on the roads because the police refused to take down the details of the killers which we were trying to give them. There was a communication gap initially and the lower category police officers did not listen to us. All we asked them was we wanted to check the body of our murdered brother as we feared the killers could have planted drugs on his corpse to make him look like a drug peddler. We wanted a proper panchnama to be done before the body could be sent for post mortem. It is a known fact that police in India plant drugs and contraband on the bodies of victims and even those arrested for their own ulterior motives. Many of our brethren are victims of false cases planted on them by the ANC and NCB. We wanted two of our people to accompany the body and be present during the post mortem to ensure that there was no hanky panky. But the police refused promoting some hot-bloodied Nigerians to take the law in their own hands. “ **Simeon claimed that two BJP MLAs were involved in the murder and were protecting the actual killers, some of them connected with the drug trade. * *“Most Nigerians involved in the drug trade in Goa are only carriers or transporters – the big bosses who make the deals are closely connected with the political class in Goa. Some of them are business men and run pubs, hotels and bars in Goa and nobody dare touch them. There has been a smear campaign going on against Nigerians in North Goa for the last one month as the small Nigerian peddlers would sell stuff at cheaper rates as they did it only to earn their living and survive. Some drug lords in Goa felt threatened as their profits began to get hit. We are not professional drug runners. Sometimes out of poverty and frustration our brethren take to either doing drugs themselves and then in order to earn money for their daily fix take to selling small amounts of banned narcotic substances. However, the prices are all decided by the bosses who will not allow any peddler to sell at a lower rate,” claimed Simeon.* -- Augusto Pinto 40, Novo Portugal Moira, Bardez Goa, India E pinto...@gmail.com P 0832-2470336 M 9881126350

Re: [Goanet] Nigerian act boisterously
Blame it on the metallurgy grad, who is also the home minister but he blames it on the lack of numbers in the police force. Didn't seem from all the videos that there was any lack of police strength. Tackling the Nigerians wouldn't make much business sense to the beat cops for the next day how could they go back to them asking for money if they beat them up? Bad for police reputation too with the Brits, Israelis, Russians and what have you. The behaviour of the DIG was especially disgusting. For an IPS man to nod to the Porvorim MLA like a bobble-head at everything he said and to call him MLA saab was like roles reversed. Not a good example to his men. Khaunte on the other hand spoke like an Army man and had Vyas in his palms. The IIT man should have known this would happen and immediately called in the paramilitary forces like the SRPF and the CRPF who are segregated from the general population and therefore have no opportunity for bribes and having brute force and tough training would not have been intimidated by the Nigerians like Goa's sakharams were. But all this has nothing to do with mining where at least our 'gadhi'-kar should have shone but didn't. The Supreme Court had to supply the polish and brush to clean up that mess. Roland. NB. Any potential Pak terrorists watching those Porvorim vids (and you can bet the bank on that they will) will be heartened with how the police reacted. It might even encourage them to downgrade from their standard issue AK47s to WWII grade 303 Lee Enfields and still carry the day. Additionally they might do it in 3 hours instead of the 3 days it took them in Bombay. Roland.
