is dogara not a bastard

See kind of people nigerians elected to represent them, corruption fighting back. This thievgara needs jungle justice "asap" Buhari and APC are doing as if this is not CORRUPTION. If its were ALUU 4 those tout would have show their idiotus. 2019 will do needful.

shortgun:
He is right
The national assembly is empowered by law to make modifications to bills submitted by the executive before it becomes law
They have the power to add, subtract, remove or alter the bill before passage.

We should desist from all this media trials....if Jebrin thinks he has a case.
He should go to court.
personally, I didn't take the man serous cos he only came to tell the world about Dogara's kwaruption when he was removed from a "juicy" House Committee Chairmanship.
why did he not sing d songs he is singing now when he was the chairman?
I guess his mouth was stuffed with d national cake preventing him from singing

Yes, the NASS has the powers to do all what u have mentioned, but what u deliberately left out is that the executive should be notified of such adjustments and failure to do so constitutes an offence.

Interesting

Then, it was stealing is not corruption

Now, budget padding is not an offence.

It is very unfortunate.

the bible supports dogaras assertion. technically speaking that is

romans 4 vs 15 where there is no law, there also is no violation.

dogara carry go. the thunder wey go fire you dey jupiter

this lawmakers are heartless.......just imagine.....dogara politizing a simple question........isi ewu

foladara777:

Unfortunately, you are wrong. For a person to be tried and convicted for a crime, the crime and its penalty must be written down in some statute or the other... Section 36(12) of the constitution. Budget padding entails adding more project- govt projects to the budget not conversion of government revenue to personal possession and since it is not prohibited by the criminal code or any other relevant statute, and penalty not prescribed, then it is not a crime

But when the president refuse to sign same budget because of the padding, u guys are hailing him and calling for the head of those who padded the budget. All of a sudden it's no longer a crime. When will u guys stop speaking from the both side of your mouth and without shame too.

So u are saying any member of the house can just inflat the budget and it's OK. Pls there is a due process for everything and I believe if he has gone true the due process in adding what ever he wanted to add to the budget, this whole drama won't have happened. What he did was for his benefit and it is wrong. And please stop twisting the law. Na wa for una oh

masseratti:
oga lawyer, being wrong is not a bad thing, we are just glorifying what they did with the word padding, what they did is just same as what was done in the Senate, changing the house rule without a senate resolution whatsoever, the members claimed they had no idea 40billion was included in the budget they passed, in case you dont know how it works, they will give each member a copy of what they are debating on,and they debate on it, pass or reject it based on a copy given to them by the clerk, thats how laws are passed, it is illegal for you to now put in what was not circulated to others, for the president who is not a member of the house to sign on, if the AGF knows his onions,Dogara, Jubrin and everyone involved will be in Jail, so oga teacher no teach me nonsense, this is a clear case of fraud, not even padding or padi padi government.

a member not members as far as am concern beside jibrin nobody has come out to say d speaker padded d budget.. after all dey make d budget,wot d president does is to give estimate n lawmakers will prepare d budget based on guidelines by d president. and we have SANS am sure if he was wrong dey would have called him out.

That was a flimsy escuse, why didnt he notify the house before he pad the budget? that was a criminal act. as for jibrin why did he hide the shameful act when he was the house chairman on appropriation commitee they are all thieves. Thank u jibrin for exposing Dogara

Thank you very much, exactly what I wanted to say. Don't mind those Zombies who have sold their brains and birth right out, suffering and smiling with empty stomach with back pain. They thought it was Ekweremadu and Saraki that padded the budget, now it is open that it was their God father, they changed their dancing step.

WE GET THE TYPE OF LEADERS WE DESERVE BECAUSE OUR bleeped UP SOCIETY KEEPS PRODUCING THEM.

And to think I used to like this man. These people are all the same.

same here. I pity dis nation

Nusaf:

Yes, the NASS has the powers to do all what u have mentioned, but what u deliberately left out is that the executive should be notified of such adjustments and failure to do so constitutes an offence.

it is the executive dat will have to finally sign d budget into law.
if they don't agree with any adjustment by d national assembly, d president will have to send d budget back to the Assembly.

in this case d budget has already been signed after a lot of back n fort movement.
There is no point crying over spilled milk here.

The way it stands now, not even the supreme court can alter the figures in the budget (weather it was padded or not)cos its already a law.
with this you will agree dat Jibrin is chasing after shadows.

If death sentence is not given to politicians, then we are in for trouble in Nigeria.

musicwriter:


Do you really believe the presidency wasn't aware of the padding? There's no way Dogara will have the audacity to say such to Buhari, if the presidency wasn't aware of the padding from beginning.

Lol,u gat it wrong..... He said it coz he is a Lawyer not bcoz PMB was involved.I hope u bliv that PMB saw it coming....??

Are we not just "fantastically corrupt" as already stated

Naija n corruption r like bread n butter

yes we have SANs and if he was wrong and they all called him out, how do you want them to make money? the executive prepare the economy agenda through its budget, its the presidency bill not the National Assembly bill but Subject to the approval of the NA after which the president will sign and it becomes law, the NA has no right to prepare budget, if they are not in agreement on anything, they send the bill bacl to the presidency for amendment and its brought back to them for approval, its same thing with Board of Directors, we are not the only country doing budgeting, this people are disgrace to us.

IDIOT I DAY CHOP LIKE? I am simply saying my opinion, if u want your children's future should be like Nigeria's say amen.

The nigerian executive rogues are emboldened by the day and someone claims to be fighting corruption.
Mr Corruption threw a cube of sugar into a party called APC to attract all the brazenly-corrupt in the society in order to finally milk the nation dry.

Indeed, Mr. David Cameron was right.
I loved the way he said it to the face of the ring-leader - Nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country.
Nothing can be truer.
Nigeria is a farce, a charade.

I think it is a very simple thing. If you take something that doesn't belong to you it is stealing. Plain and simple dogara na thief.

The man is a Lawyer, he stated that there is no offence called padding. He is very correct. But I am sure there are offences like forgery, falsification of figure etc. I have not looked at the Penal Code for over five years, and I do not have one at hand.
However, although the House of Representative is empowered to make alterations to budgets, it must be done by the whole house or a Committee of the house subject to the approval of the house. It cannot be done surreptitiously by anyone including the Speaker. If it is so done, it amounts to forgery. And this offence cannot be covered by parliamentary immunity, because it is a malfeasance. Dogara, I am also a Lawyer and I have been for some time too and practiced in the North.

IF BLESSED SHOW ME AN EXAMPLE SIR

Statements like "Nigeria is cursed" are counterproductive. God said ... As I have heard you say so shall I do. Continue to bless this country so that God will bless it.

Chigold101:
see it is APC and their media team that made budget padding look like an offence.

Budget padding simply means “adding.“
Legislatures have the right to add & minus from a “proposed“ bill but cos we are in era of “media frenzy“ anything becomes news to them and again the easiest & fastest way of getting into our president from Daura‘s heart is by accusing a high profile politician of curropy practises.

My friend you must go back to school!!!!padding means to expand or add to unnecessarily or dishonestly. Your parent wasted their fortune paying your school fees.

Don't mind dogara, he is confused lawyer himself,
padding is not a word for an offence.
padding is a word used by jubril(which was never used before, that's why the word is strange) to describe a situation where two different entity are fused together to make it appear as if they are one.
In the context of budget padding, it means, fusing personal projects(which was never part of the projects to be funded by the signed budgets) to the tune of N40billion naira.
so, understand what jubril is driving at.
that simply means, federal government will be using tax money of poor nigerians to fund dogara's N40billion personal projects unknowingly.
Now, the funny thing is, the press people who interviewed dogara on coming out of aso villa, where defeated by dogara ,simply because they were not asking the right questions.
they were asking, are you not afraid?
why did you pad the budget?
they never defined what jubril meant by budget padding to him, so, he uses the state of ignorance, of the meaning of padding to escape answering vital questions.
you see how shameless these people are?

Padding is wrong and it is against the law. It is stealing. They legislators would not want to amend that aspect of corruption because they always want to steal our commonwealth.
