The House of Representatives has said the ongoing recruitment by the Nigerian Navy is unfair and not in compliance with the federal character principle in the constitution, asking the military outfit to suspend the process.

The House resolved to “direct the Nigerian Navy to suspend forthwith the forthcoming pre-screening exercise for the shortlisted candidates, with a view to strengthening the federal character law as well as to ensure better and more vigorous enforcement and implementation, knowing full well that every Nigerian deserves to be treated with dignity and rights, irrespective of where they may be located physically in the country.”

Also, the House requested the Navy to provide details of all recruitments from 2014 to date, showing their geographical spread.

Furthermore, the House mandated the Committee on Navy to “investigate the exercise and recommend appropriate measures to avoid similar constitutional violations in all future government recruitment and report back within 12 weeks for further legislative action.”

These resolutions were sequel to the unanimous adoption of a motion of urgent public importance to investigate the process of the Nigerian Navy Supplementary Recruitment of 44 candidates “for being against the principle of federal character and in gross violation of Section 14 of the 1999 Constitution.”

Sponsor of the motion, Ben Igbakpa, said all the successful candidates that are to report for training in two batches at the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School Onne, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, “are all from a particular part of the country, which negates the federal character principle of all inclusiveness, equity and fair play.”

He said, “The House believes that adequate observance and implementation of the federal character principle will in no small measure allay fears of domination and denial by the ethnic minorities and invariably foster national unity.”

Buhari is very evil. Useless old man that cannot respect his age.

When this news first broke, Simplyleo and his band of merry liars called it fake news. Let us see how they react now.

Ok

Isowk!

I just don't understand why we can't just break up and the north employs all the Muhammed and Dan Fulani they want in office?

We would never be your slaves, can't you towel heads get it?

Why are Northerners always this way. They gain more from one Nigeria than the South.

Without Southern Nigeria, Northerners won't have the opportunity to serve in the Nigerian Navy, yet see the nonsense them dey do.

All the people on the supplementary list are all Northerners in a country like Nigeria, this is madness.

Nothing surprises me anymore with this government of the quota system , by the quota system and for the quota system.

Buhari has divided Nigeria more than any other president.


Useless terrorist

Last Last the north no rate the south....they feel like they can do anything and nothing will happen..southern Nigerians are the most docile people on earth.

Shame on Buhari

Supan:
Let me make some revelations because some of us also have our own intelligence networks. I have met with some of the bandits, we have met with some of their high commanders. One or two who have repented. They have sat down with us, not once, not twice.

They told us that one of the northern governors is the commander of Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram and the Bandits are one and the same thing. They have a sophisticated network. during this lockdown their Planes were moving up and down as though there was no lock down. Moving ammunition, money, logistics and distributing them in different part of the country. They are already in the south. In the rain forest of the south. They are everywhere. They told us that when they finish this rural killings, they will move to phase 2.

In the Phase 2, they will go into the urban cities, going from house to house killing prominent people. I can tell you, this is the game plan. By 2022, they want to start a civil war in Nigeria. Don't joke with what I am saying you. I have a PHD from Oxford university. I am a central banker, we don't talk nonsense. So don't joke with what I am telling you. --- Obadiah Mailafia

The southerners hatred off igbos have made them blind to this abnormality.

Right in front of their own very eyes. Who is deceiving who

That's just the enigmatic problem we are facing as Southerners.they have the upper hand against us in the house.

Old men are the problem of the country.

I think the treatment from North to south has been unfair

How can you have the name list all From the North... This is daylight robbery..

Speaker Femi gbajabiamila has really risen up to d occasion of defending the nation. I am very proud of him unlike the rubber stamp Senate president Lawal. Kudos to Femi and his house of rep members. Buhari represent evil

When the north parrots 'one Nigeria', it's not because of love or that they believe in the unity sef. It is for benefits like this. They're disproportionately advantaged in the Nigerian context and will go to any length to quell anything/person that threatens their privileged position. They know they're done for should Nigeria break up.

When will the south wake up?
