Haba. Why r some human beings difficult. The senate said there is no state of emergency yet cos he president has not transmitted to them a gazette that will aid in their debate and subsequent approval and that the presido has not breached any law cos there is no specific time for transmission of gazette. GEJ may chose to transmit by 2015. pls una go get high BP where this man dey oooo. Make una leave this man alone and go una normal business. Power is from God alone and for now, he gave it to an Ijaw Nigerian, GEJ. 2 Likes |

We have to make up our minds. Laws exist for a reason. They govern how we relate with one another. A country without laws, or a country which chooses not to enforce its laws, is nothing but anarchy dressed up in princely robes. This thread is a depressing one because it has shown several of us up as people who do not have standards or principles - people who change their positions like bulbs of mercury in a home thermometer. I do not care much for the OP. I consider him/her to be an overly aggressive individual who habitually attacks anyone who criticizes the overrated, hypocritical LASG and the venal party which produced it. However, my personal opinions are nothing where weightier matters like the laws of the Republic are being discussed. On this SOE matter, the OP is right. The president has NOT complied with the laws of the Republic concerning the proclamation of a state of emergency. Full stop. That is all there is to it. GEJ broke the law, simple. Instead of defending the indefensible, we would be better served insisting that our representatives (in both the executive and the legislature) should repeal all Nigerian laws which we do not like, or which (in our view) do not pass the common sense test. Until we do this though, we must obey (to the last man) the laws as they currently stand. We cannot have it both ways. |

naptu2: It's not a big deal. The same thing happened when Obasanjo declared emergency rule in Plateau State. The National Assembly stated that the President does not have the constitutional powers to unilaterally declare a state of emergency. The National Assembly must vote to declare a state of emergency before it becomes legal. ^^^^ I beg to disagree sir. It IS a big deal. I am sure you know the dangers of a rubber-stamp legislature. Even more relevant is the question: what happens if the president's party does not have a majority in the upper and lower legislative houses? What happens when lawmakers do not simply 'want to be respected' and they oppose the proclamation of an SOE on principled grounds? If the president unilaterally declares a state of emergency (and does not transmit the gazette to lawmakers for approval as required by law) and the lawmakers refuse to accept this, what happens next? Is this not the beginning of a crisis? If you have determined lawmakers, could this not form a basis for impeachment? |

payless:seems like all you want is to hear PDP dislodged and dissolved, now you prefer Buhari over of GEJ, the main reason why Buhari was droped in the last presidential was it not because of his flaws during his time of rule? I dont think the problem we have in this country is PDP, PDP or opposition party they are the same. mind you ealier jonathan emphazied that BokoHaram is all around him and you expect his intensions to be open. Some of you criticized him for being mild, now he is using force. As for not imforming the senate about the "state of emergency", it should not be used as a tool against him cause doing that would have given bHaram time to adjust there movement then more states will be affected. As for any body opposing state of emergency then you are bokoharam. all he need to do now is to prepare the so called gazett and the senate must approve it or they want the police men to go on more sucide mission or carry the guns them selfs |

THE GOVERNMENT TACTICS AND STRATEGIES ARE ALREADY KNOWN; 1. CONVERTING THE CURRENT SECTARIAN UPROAR TO A FULL BLOWN CIVIL WAR, WITH THE WAR FRONT AT THE NORTH DOORS, KILLING BOTH OUR YOUTH AND COMMUNITY LEADERS E.G EMIRS, TOP POLITICIANS AND UNIFORM MEN OF NORTHERN ORIGIN, IN A BID TO TOTALLY WEAKEN THE REGION SO AS TO EITHER CONTINUE THEIR DEVILISH RULE AGENDA OR SIMPLY DIVIDE THE COUNTRY. THIS IS A VERY GOOD STRATEGY INDEED,(courtesy Devil MENTOR) IT WORKS IN MANY INSTANCES E.G SYRIA. BUT ALAS, IT WOULD NEVER WORK IN NIGERIA. B/COS; THE BRAVE NORTHERN YOUTH IN THE MILITARY WOULD NEVER TOLERATE OR ALLOW THIS. THE NORTH HAS GOOD FRIENDS( ALIAS) THAT WOULD STAND BY NORTH FOR SURE. AS USUAL THE YORUBAS WOULD ISOLATE THEMSELVES, LEAVING, ND/IGBOS/MIDDLE BELTANS TO FACE NORTH IF THE PLAN BACKFIRES ! THE STRATEGY FURTHER ENTAILS WIDER S.O.E TO INFLICT MORE DAMAGES, MORE CASUALTIES , BLACKMAIL, ASSASSINATION AND MORE.... ALTHOUGH, THE TACTICS WAS ON FINAL STAGES, NIGERIA IS GODS OWN AS SAID BY MANY WOULD ONCE AGAIN SURVIVE THIS PLOT, THIS AGENDA IS BOUND TO FAIL, B/COS OF ILL EXECUTION OF THE DETAILS ENSHRINED. LONG LIVE NORTH, LONG LIVE NIGERIA, LONG LIVE FREE AFRICA! |

JTF will pursue Boko haram and its supporters on land, sea and air with or without approval from legislators. (No shaking) If I were president Jonathan, these people would all be arrested as part of the on going security crack down : Alhaji Tinubu, Alhaji Fashola, Alhaji Adamu Oshiomhonle, Alhaji Buhari and indeed the muslim led APC leadership. |
