Talk about clueless and incompetent president, incompetent and unqualified advisers with lame duck and worthless assembly and senate. Who is even qualified enough to interpret the Nigerian constitution, uphold and defend the same constitution? Not the Nigerian presidency, not the Nigerian justice minister or presidential adviser, not the Nigerian congress, not the toothless Nigerian Bar Association and definitely not the Nigerian military. The Nigerian military is out there conducting a lawless and unconstitutional military operation while the clueless and unpatriotic politicians fiddles around aimlessly. What a damn shame... 4 Likes |

The President is the Chief Security Officer of the Nation and has the Executive power to make Emergency decisions. So if Cameroun invades Nigeria, the President should consult the National Assembly before taking any decision? 68 Likes |

I laugh you all...What we have here in Nigeria is not politics but rather, politricks. You might hide under the internet to throw stones at others, but God alone knows if you are worst than them.

One thing I know is that when you do the same thing over and over, you don't expect different answer. PDP has been there since 1999 and look at where we are today. The strategy for anyone who love Nigeria is to first let PDP go, then everything else come next. Buhari will disappoint most of these looters if they allow him to become President. Buhari will turn against Tinubu and other thieves. 2 Likes |

As much as I'm yet to support the state of emergency declared because of porous security measures in other parts of the country which the Boko Haram boys may attack if the heat is too much on their end, informing the house before the declaration is not normal cos Boko haram suppoters in the house will vote against it and it will give boko haram clue on what is about to happen and strategies before the approval. 6 Likes |

I'm really not sure what your problem, but you definitely sound like a Jonathan dullard because nothing was said about corruption, but guilty conscience took over your cassava bread brain. This is a public forum you lazy and incompetent thinker and this is not where your clueless president gets advise and pointers from, he gets it from the incompetent people he hired as ministers and advisers that you are paying tons of taxpayers money to advise your clueless president. I know many of you either are too dull to understand basic social studies or they just don't teach it anymore in your village elementary schools, but you people really need to shut sometimes and quit polluting the internet with your ignorance because it's really embarrassing... |

I am just hoping you wouldn't regret voting for Buhari if eventually he manages to become the president of Nigeria. If you agree with what is happening now, then Jonathan is your choice. If you want things to change, then whoever the opposition presents is who we have to go with in order to get PDP out of the way. If we don't give the opposition the chance to change things, how do we expect the country to change? So, we have to try something else to know if it is better than what you have. All eyes on the opposition to do well. Look at the performances of AC Governors in the states controlled by PDP since 1999. The AC governors have out-performed the PDP Governors with what they have done so far within three years. |

Keep hoping, until you grow old and die. Don't do something else. Keep voting the same people that have been there 14 years without any significant change, and KEEP HOPING that somehow things will change. It is called madness - to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result. Your post sef smacks off dumbito. Where did you get your 80% figure from? Did you conduct a poll?

The constitution is sacred and any deviation must be tabled and sanctioned before the Nigerian legislature. The judiciary is not constitutionally sanctioned to make or change laws, that's the responsibility of the legislature, the judiciary only interpret laws laws passed and amended by the legislatures aka lawmakers.. Read up on the 3 arms of government. The executive, the legislative and the judiciary for relevant understanding before your next post.. Nigeria is not going anywhere with so many ignorant and uneducated so called leaders of tomorrow.. Again, do they still teach social studies and civic education in our schools? 1 Like |

[size=18pt]Jonathan in order —Reps[/size] The House of Representatives on Thursday stated that it was too hasty to conclude that President Jonathan breached the Constitution on the declaration of emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States on Tuesday night without due process, saying that the leadership of the National Assembly was carried along in the processes that led to the declaration of emergency rule in the affected states. The Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene who stated this while fielding questions from newsmen noted that the President acted in good faith with the emergency rule. He, however, said that “up till now, the president has not sent a letter to us on the state of emergency declared in the three states[b]. We are aware that the president, before the declaration, interfaced with the leadership of the National Assembly.”[/b] The deputy spokesperson for the House also said “the leadership of the National Assembly did suggest that it will give a wrong message if the governors were to go. And we all agreed that the government is one; while the National Assembly is there to make laws, the executive is there to implement them.” To this end, Honourable Ogene said more of such cooperation would go a long way in developing the nation, saying “government is one.” On the seeming delay in transmission of the state of emergency proclamation by the president to the National Assembly, Honourable Ogene said the executive arm of government might be trying to put necessary things in place, in accordance with the constitution of the country, adding that it was understandable, since all the arm of government were working for the best interest of the nation. He, however, explained that the emergency rule would not in anyway affect the amnesty to Boko Haram and equally called on the members of the sect to embrace the amnesty. He stressed that the House would continue to support moves that would bring peace to the country. [size=18pt]Senate debates emergency rule next week[/size] The Senate will on Tueday, May 21, deliberate on the state of emergency which President Goodluck Jonathan declared in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states on Tuesday. Senate President, David Mark, asked his colleagues during the plenary session on Thursday to be present next week, explaining that their attendance that day would be crucial to an urgent national decision to be taken. http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/12075-emergency-rule-military-shuts-down-telecoms-networks-imposes-curfew-in-adama-senate-opens-debate-next-to-use-air-strikes-when-necessary |

did our president breach the constitution? NO! is our president making sense? NO! The question is, why is our president not doing the right thing? He obviously did not take this decision in a haste, he must have consulted widely and personally thought deeply about it. Then why did he not do the right thing, constitutionally? |

The senate’s position is founded on Section 305 of the constitution, which states that “Subject to the provisions of this constitution, the president may by instrument published in the official gazette of the government of the federation issue a proclamation of a state of emergency in the federation or any part thereof.”"may"or may not "Possible" not a neccesity |

cogitoErgo: did our president breach the constitution? NO!Very simple. This is about national security and should be acted upon asap. Most of the house will vote against it and it will crumble. Am still certain that sponsors of BH are in that house. GEJ,on his own duly invaded the area with military personals and didnt dethrone the gov, meaning that he is following due process. What's the cry for? These law makers should know atimes desperate measures should be taken to save lives and properties. FYI gej know the law and is smart on it. |
