.....you don't get it right, if you dirty, you didn't preach cleaniness to neighbour!
if fashola is not nominated as they wish, amaechi is not nominated as they wish, magu and Ali were sack as they want, who will build Nigeria? they want their counterpart looter in office?
they should be shame!

I get it alright!

So because the senate is corrupt and Ali should be allowed extort the public? So because Amaechi who couldn't give account of funds in his state was denied vouching by the Senate, we should allow Custom official to impound millions of vehicles on the road opening a gateway for chaos, fraud and financial rape of Nigeria?

I get your point. Perhaps the senate should never have intervened in the planned data hike because they are very corrupt.

And going by your logic, Nigeria should be allowed to slid into a dome of disorder because the senate is too corrupt to do what is right.

Difference is, I'm talking law and you're talking morality and sentiments.
Thumbs up.

Commander in chief of armed forces doesn't mean that Buhari is an Army or police officer, it means that he's in control of all the security forces in the land. As you know , these security forces has their heads and they all wear their various uniforms except the stubborn custom head. DG is a rank given to the highest customs officer and this rank is worn on h/her cloth. If he said he can't wear the uniform, let him also reject the salary.

quote the law that says he must wear uniform or remain silent.

wetin Falana dey smoke ?? just watched CIA dierector and Security chief on CNN, responding to question from a bipartisan panel of democrats and Republicans ... the National security chief was even wearing uniform, no be the same democracy

Please lean to differentiate circumstanses. The American NSA is a serving officer of the United States Armed Forces.

If you no no wetin to type just 'jump am pass'

JideAmuGiaka:
Falana, you are a disgrace to humanity. Are you not among the Lawyers that defended Buhari on his certificate matter.

if you have a little bit of sense. if you have not been brainwashed by cownu. you would have known that a lawyer has the right to defend anybody including cownu the terrorist. he's quoting the constitution in arriving at his claim.
you should quote the constitution to tackle him.

Oga Falana, " Even the devil can quote the Bible " to convince /confuse its audience. Same with the Constitution.
Comptroller General of Customs is a rank NOT a political post. Just as the Chief of Army Staff, and other service chiefs are ranks and wear uniforms, the Ministers of Defence, Police Affairs, etc may not.
Unless Alli wants to be addressed as the Minister of Custom Affairs, he cannot eat his cake and have it. If he feels belittled by wearing Customs uniform but likes/enjoys the the goodies that come with the office, he should resign .
But why should Buhari cause this problem by appointmenting a retired Army Colonel to head the Customs Services whose rank and file, I'm sure, are not happy. Or are they?

It's not easy being mentally unstable sha. I feel your pain

elinaxy:
what's so wrong about wearing the uniform of an organization you're working for? This matter is turning into something different, I think he should stop being arrogant and obey the law for once.

not when it is not compulsory in the rules of the organization.
quote the law that states that the cg MUST wear uniform or shut your trap.

Falan is so ureliable and changes with the wind, he says one thing now and says another thing tommorow, he is a confused human being who just talks to be relevant and have a big clientle, he has no substance or form , the original Hollow man ,empty inside

Do you know the meaning of human right activist?. When those the poor masses are looking up to, to be their voices turned to be the voices of corrupt elements, we can't move forward. Do you think that Gani would have defended Buhari?. I am not a zombie that sees Buhari as a saint.

teebell999:


Wha th has Buhari’s certificate got to do with this? Better go back to school.

If he's educated, he wouldn't have appointed an outsider to head the customs. That's what his certificate got to do here.

Nigeria waiting to fall.

"Well, that is my point the NSA director in his role must not wear uniform, because of his role is political, despite that he still wore it... a police boss, Army chief, or Custom boss need to identify with their team, "Espirit de corp"....i find the whole debate about the uniform issue mundane , but Falana submission that the Senate cannot invite Hamid lackk merit Chikena!!!!

Falana is a two-faced hypocrite.

He wants the APC ticket in Ekiti 2018 governorship

But we know Fallacious Falana cannot and will not rule Ekiti state. If you give him room he'll surpass Lai Muhammed.

JideAmuGiaka:

I have never seen a bigger sycophant than that yoruba lawyer. When he is not defending Buhari's certificatelessness, he is fighting for tyrannic govt officials even against public good.

Mr SAN, do we have law in this country? Does this govt even know what is lawful?
Bunch of thieves and rouges....

The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. The senate should force the president to appear before it in military or para military attire. there are plenty reasons why greater number of Nigerians do not see the need for this full time legislative body. The full time NASS is a total drain on Nigeria's meager purse. Because Saraki has been asked to come and pay the full and legal duty on his bullet proof Range Rover; which he bought with money he stole from us, he lines up his area boys, the like of Daniel Melaye to harass the custome CG.

Must we find motive where there is none? I don't think SP would have a problem paying a duty on the Range Rover.

The CG not wearing a uniform sets a bad precedent. What if we have a non-career IG of police that won't wear a uniform tomorrow, and use today's rulings as grounds for his refusal. Look forward to the future, don't be too passionate about the present

Quote the law that says a custom officer shouldn't wear uniform.

He is not a custom officer sir.He was appointed to head the custom...political appointment sir.And so that u don't make a fool of yourself in public next time sir,Hameed Ali is A RETIRED ARMY COLONEL

repogirl:
Lol, is it Falana that is talking? The same Falana that said sometime ago that Governors don't enjoy immunity?

The man fabricates his own Constitution whenever he feels like it.

Go and study madam. Your mates are in evening school upgrading theirselves. No Governor enjoys absolute immunity against capital offences. Electoral offences. Stop displaying your village crash ignorance in an open forum like this. Funny enough, if you and your kins men have human right issue its the same falana you will all rush to meet

Maduawuchukwu:
I am just laughing at the comments of some Pro-Buhari folks here. In order to support their master they don't mind tearing down institutions of government like the senate. Some of them are even advocating for the abolition of the senate because to them it will give Buhari the ability to change Nigeria.
These empty-heads obviously do not understand the workings of institutions and democracy. If we give Buhari absolute powers to do whatever he wants to do without senate oversight, the day that a tyrannical leader comes what will we use to deter him?
We should be careful in this country abi na Zoo!

Well said even the senate can order you to appear before them in chains, it's the voice of the people you must comply

Falana has become federal government activist. I don't consider Falana as a lawyer but a politician, that is privileged to have read law books and use it to manipulate gullible minds in return.

Bari22:
bunch of certificateless beigs

You wey get certificate why are u not hitting headline

Was unconstitutional to just wake up one day with stupid new policy on us and we just keep quiet like that, the senate should invite the Ministry of Finance and not the CGC. Who made YEYE policy The senate represent us to speak for us. Listen to yourself, the power to compel the CGC to wear customs union when he is not a serving customs officer, tell me why he accepted the post, which example showing to the other.
Please baba falana look for other way to eat ok

Why do some people love corrupt people?

Because they are equally corrupt.

Dannys85:

Ali is retired soldier and by his appointment, he is a custom officer. If there's a call that all the custom officers are to come to Abuja, will Hameed Ali attend as a custom officer or as a retired soldier?. You should know that once you retire from military, you are automatically a civilian.
