Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by nduchucks: 3:04am On Nov 25, 2011 |
Last week Tinubu called For New Thinking To Resolve Indigene/settler Question, this week he calls for SNC. He spoilt everything by adding "Sovereign" to the national Conference because "sovereign" just rendered his suggestion unconstitutional, illegal, treasonous, and undemocratic. The only way I'd support a so-called national conference is if the participants in such a conference do not include a single former or current politician, including Tinubu. They want to share the rest of the country among themselves. all of dem be onye ara. http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news-update/27491-tinubu-calls-for-sovereign-national-conference.html |

ndu_chucks: He is just making his usual populist statements that have no weight. Its all hot air. A committee has been set up to review the constitution and it is being done in a clever way that will exclude his type from having any influence whatsoever. It will blossom into a National Conference at some point IMHO, especially as GEJ himself has said it will expand over time to include representatives of the various ethnic nationalities; in that sense, therefore, Tinubu's harpless thrashing about is useful to popularising the end result of the review process. |

My thinking of the sovereign National conference is that those who argue for it want the total outcome of such conference to be put up for approval in a referendum, thereby legalising (in real sense by the people) whatever decision that is reached. Am a supporter of the SNC as far as all the component units of the country are represented in equal propportion in all its discussion and vote process, to avoid handing victory or majority to those favored by the injustice of state creation. Aside: Anything favored by the likes of Tinubu should be handled with care and suspicion through every step of it, vigilance therefore is the key. |

Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by Delight1: 1:15pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
Truly, Sovereign National Conference is the out in Nigeria, if we're ready to solve all existing problems in Nigeria. But the challenge is that who are the real & true Nigerian to represent us. Is it politians & corrupt leaders who kill all the times to gain access to the corridor of power in order to embezle Nigeria money to satisfy his/her selfish motive & evil family of theres. Only God will safe Nigerian in the Lion Den !!! Our Leader are too wicked & do not care about the masses. Almighty God will surely reward them with painful chastenment (Amen). |

ndu_chucks:i am afraid i must respectfully disagree with the logic of this assertion. there is nothing unconstitutional, illegal, treasonous, and undemocratic about the call. it may not be wise and indeed maybe foolish even but certainly NOT [/b]unconstitutional, illegal, treasonous, and undemocratic. in the first instance it is constititutional to advocate changing or completely jettisoning the constitution perhaps you care to share the relevant portion of the constitution that prohibits such advocacy. perhaps you care to share any statute that forbids such a call. how is it treasonous or undemocratic. i think the use of all these words is rather bombastic and ill informed. treason is defined explicitly in our statutes to cover violent acts against the state or the assistance of foreign powers against the state. here a citizen is calling for a Discussion and even if such a discussion challenges the subsisting constitutional or sovereign order it is totally democratic and by no means treasonous as long as it does not entail violence. all of that is about the [b]nature of the call. its substance is an entirely different matter and i shall reserve comment on that for now |

Tinubu tackling vexing questions that lie at the very heart of Nationhood, much like reconstructed El Rufai is his polemical articles, and Atiku at his pugilistic best? Interesting times. . . |
Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by isleman(m): 3:02pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
ndu_chucks: IMO if we want a quick change in Nigeria SNC is the answer, lets trash it all out once and for all. Politicians may be corrupt but they have insight knowledge about Nigeria better than you and I. they've been there and they know the loop holes. SNC of my type should involve all stake holders, politicians, perm secs, high kings, chiefs and emirs, labour leaders, leaders and reps from all national associations including students. everyone of us have tasted the bitterness, we know what we want addressed. the fundamental mistake made by Lugard and colonial maters still affects us today. In any constitution, there is a page for solemnization, that is declaring the intention of the people to come together. In Nigeria, we never declared or called ourselves to live together, we were forced together. therefore, there is no solemnization in Nigerian Constitution because we never agreed to come together. These are the terms and conditions to be discussed at SNC and that still remain our basic problems. At the SNC, we shall be able to discuss system of government good for us, modes and method of leadership and rotation etc. |
Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by Gbawe: 3:12pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
lucenzo: You may not like Tinubu but you don't come across as a man with how you call him illiterate. As a man, give Tinubu his dues even if you hate him. The man is far from illiterate. It is you who actually seem "illiterate" with your ignorance that is unforgiveable in this information age. Tinubu distinguished himself academically and professionally. What some of you fail to understand is that many of those who lead us are actually well-educated and intelligent. Tinubu was so bright, he actually used to teach fellow students accounting in the USA. As if "illiterates" work for firms , such as Arthur Andersen and Deloitte, only known to headhunt the brightest available. You should , whatever your personal opinion, always try to accomodate facts into your utterances so that you don't appear to be what you think others are. http://democraticmandateng.com/news/faceofsuccess.html FACE OF SUCCESS - The MAN BOLA TINUBU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Tinubu Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu was born on 29 March 1952 in the city of Lagos. He attended St. John's Primary School, Aroloya, Lagos and Children's Home School in Ibadan. Tinubu went to the United States in 1975, where he studied first at Richard J. Daley College in Arthur Andersen, Deloitte,Chicago, Illinois and then at Chicago State University. He graduated in 1979 with a Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting.[1] |

I thought most people on nairaland are culture and intellectuals. Is highly unbecoming of a graduate to be abusing somebody's father. If he abuses you, then you abuse him back not the father. I doubt if you are from A GOOD HOME. people will surely express the way they are brought up through their utterances. |

Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by nduchucks: 4:03pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
aribisalao: i am afraid i must respectfully disagree with the logic of this assertion. You people don tire me with unnecessary and unproductive emotionalism. Why must a call for dialogue be prefaced with the word sovereign? Why inflame the discussion by instigating conflicts with potential national security concerns by the unnecessary inclusion of the word “sovereign” in the conference? Do we not have the NASS who is charged with enacting legislations and amending our constitution as needed? The democratic thing to do is to work within our constitution to achieve our goals. In fact, GEJ already has eminent Nigerians working on constitution review. This call for “sovereign” national conference, has historically been used by closet secessionists as a way of achieving their goal of dismantling our dear country. The good news is that some of us will fight you secessionists until we blow you into smitherinees and run you off into the Atlantic if need be. You are well advised to thread softly and let us make our young democracy work. Sovereign national conference ko, constitutional convention after American style tea party ni.

Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by anonimi: 4:05pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
and what is the job of the over-fed legisLOOTERS in the NASS if they cannot amend the constitution as they have done in the last session And to think that Tinubu went to school!!! Oh I forgot someone said it already- making populist noise for his crowd of gullible supporters. |
Re: Tinubu Calls For Sovereign National Conference by Nobody: 4:25pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
Gbawe:And his behavior befits that of a literate. Father of rascalism,thuggery in Nigeria. Haven't you seen or read about the likes of Soyinka, Akintola or even fashola. Do they exhibit rascalism. Tinubu is among the vices we have in this country today. The argument is of the eligibility of Tinubu making such a statement not whether he went to school or not; and with that you've totally missed the point sir. It's like Ibori making such a statement and someone comes to his rescue by saying Ibori was an altar boy. So much for an argument. |
