jaxxy: In the end the court should determine who and how bail conditions are flouted. You can't sit in your hut and start postulating that Mr A or B flouted bail conditions. The Judiciary should be supreme in every democracy. A US high court ordered Trump to turn order the turn around of an airplane deporting a woman and her kid back to El salvador even while the case was in appeal, the woman and her kid were returned back to the US as the court threatened to hold the president in contempt. Some of you pro-tyrants begging buhari to suspend to the consistution and become authoritarian and even declare himself president for life will gnash your teeth, the day you are on the receiving end. 1 Like 1 Share |

I don't understand all these arguments, Mr president was talking to a group of lawyers and told them they should put national interest above individual right in their line of duties, he never said he will be the one to judge. Can somebody explain to me? 2 Likes |

phase1: I’m not supporting tyranny bt I will support disregard for law and order. Did Kanu not flout his bail conditions? It was pretty obvious I wonder if the court was sleeping or they didn’t see any reason to act. That was clearly wrong. That said Buhari shud not take matters into his hands bt go through the courts where necessary 2 Likes |

The president should never be the one decides what is a threat to national security or what is in the national interest. The constitution and the judiciary as well as the national assembly can deal with that. The President of Nigeria already has too much powers as it is, to give him the power to decide what is a threat to national security is to make him a ful blown dictator. 1 Like 1 Share |

No, this is clearer and straight forward unlike what we hear from PMB. Individual is different from individuals. So an individual (one person) cannot hold individuals (nation) into ransom for his selfish gain. "National interest supersedes individual right". Buhari just did that by refusing assent to the bill that will favour the nation but unfavour his autocratic rule. I think this is clearer to understand. 2 Likes |

GoTV: Read well before you rush to comment. It says that the decision to grant bail or not is at the discretion of the presiding judges. It didn't say the chief executive should interfere. What you are currently suffering from is the result of dictatorship since it results in chronic ignorance and erosion of all rational thoughts. Has the clampdown on Kanu, Elzakzacky and Dansuki translated into quality living for nigerians? While the government is focusing on silencing this voices of opposition, it lost focus on the people it is supposed to protect and provide for. The latest UN report revealed that Nigeria with a population of less than 200 million has overtaken India with a population of over 1 billion, in terms of people living in abject poverty. That is the real issue you should focus on. The real threat to a nation is poverty. As long as there is increasing poverty, people will do whatever it takes to survive, including violent acts, and that is the major threat. And that includes you too. Cos all these ranting and raging on the social media is chiefly for the sake of your stomach. 2 Likes 1 Share |

blackpanda:Who is the person interpreting the national interest. This is a vague term that can be interpreted to devastating effect against perceived enemies of the interpreter or group of interpreters' interest. God help us. The situation/conditions that constitute a national interest can then be manipulated through secret service chiefs like Duara to target perceived enemies. 1 Like 1 Share |

Mr BMC who being a Muslim claims Christian. You have come again One man does not determine "National Interest" in ANY developed democracy in the world. I know you have not travelled abroad but try and read about advanced countries. Their government has to PROVE to the courts (who you and your God Buhari hate so much) that National Interest precedes a particular individuals rights and that is only Temporarily. Such cannot be done when the only reason you are holding the person is because he is an opposition member who you are attempting to rope with fabricated charges. Such is personal interest of the President and is separate from "National Interest" No developed country in this world locks its citizens up for years with no charge like DSS does here. Perhaps one day it will be you or a family member who will be on the other end of this your stick and you will remember your evil support of such nonsense all because of some crumbs that you will have finished spending.

Re: National Interest Supercedes Individual Rights – Supreme Court by PFRB: 10:07am On Aug 31, 2018 |
bluecircle470: A close scrutiny of the charges and documentary evidence available reveals offences that are a real threat to National Security. They involve creating a situation where the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria could yield to force or expose the public to serious danger. Indeed paragraph 1.0 of the counter-affidavit supports that fact. It states that it would be prejudicial to National Security to grant Bail. I agree. This deposition easily covers all the counts against the appellant.” This is just an opinion of one of the judges, |
