Na Buhari be the set constitution o

You mean to say that he is the constituted authority like that educated illiterate was telling the students that he begged to employ him with their votes?
We too foolish. That is why our leaders treat us like shit.

Simple question you can't answer.

Did Jonathan consult senate b4 deploying troop to Mali in 2013?

What is your fixation with Jonathan? Thought you guys said Jonathan was evil, therefore change was necessary. Must Buhari repeat the 'impunity and mistakes' of Jonathan? Then, where is the change?

greenermodels:
Nigeria's national security is not under immediate threat or danger.

You know nothing about world politics.

With the current political stalemate in Gambia, NNS is under threat. Considering Nigeria's position in the African committee of nations, Nigeria cannot afford to 'sidon look'. Outbreak of war in Gambia will definitely affect Nigeria. No country, no matter how advanced she thinks she is, can stand alone.

All eyes are on Nigeria to handle the issue in Gambia precisely. Nigerian government did the right thing for the preservation of life and properties in Gambia

bolanto24:


HERE COMES THE JONATHAN COMPARISON AGAIN.... GEJ IS NO LONGER IN POWER O. BESIDES IS JONATHAN'S GOVERNMENT NOW A YARDSTICK FOR MEASURING BUHARI? I THOUGHT HE IS MR PERFECT AND SAVIOR OF NIGERIA.
NONSENSE .

What you and your type must understand is, Is Buhari sending the troop directly to Gambia or through ECOWAS?

Why reference to Jonathan, we voted for change, stop hemorrhaging over Jonathan, his tenure was over long ago.

Democratically elected leader whose TENURE AS A LEADER has ended! he needs to leave or be forced out! a lesson to other African leader who are power-DRUNK!

greenermodels:
it was as unconstitutional aa buhari overthrowing a democratically elected president but two wrongs can't make a right, the constitution must be followed, that's my final take on this.

Xaddy:
Erm. The FG did not deploy troops to Gambia, they contributed their quota to the ECOWAS peace Keeping Troops... ECOMIG, Check what the constitution says about our commitment to ECOWAS and get back to me

I am waiting

Gbam .. . . God bless you.

You Nigerians are not good people, that is why God has given you bad leaders

Bad people get demons as leaders. Look at what Jammeh said to you Nigerians in 2014, and you ungrateful people have turned to betray him. Watch the video! Watch the video!! Watch the video!!!

Leave Yahya Jammeh ALONE!!!

Hypocrites, stop trampling on the constitution of the independent and sovereign Republic of the Gambia!!!

Blame ECOWAS and nigeria president looking for intl recognition by flexing military power

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the President, in consultation with the Nigeria Defence Council, may deploy members of the armed forces of the Federation on a limited combat duty outside Nigeria if he is satisfied that the national security is under imminent threat or danger;

The president only exercised his powers under the above section of the constitution. Beside, did Jonathan consult the Senate before deploying troops to northern Mali in 2013?

So because Jonathan made a mistake, Buhari should do the same. Literacy is not cheap indeed.

Thank God for the Internet we all have access to the Nigeria Constitution.

‪"5-(1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the federation‬
(a) shall be vested in the President
----------------
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section-

(a) the President shall not declare a State of war between the Federation and another country except with the sanction of a resolution of both Houses of the National Assembly sitting in a joint session; and

(b) except at the prior approval of the Senate, no member of the armed forces of the Federation shall be deployed on combat duty outside Nigeria.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (4) of this section, the President, in consultation with the Nigeria Defence Council, may deploy members of the armed forces of the Federation on a limited combat duty outside Nigeria if he is satisfied that the national security is under imminent threat or danger;

PROVIDED that the President, shall within seven days of actual combat engagement, seek the consent of the Senate and the Senate shall thereafter give or refuse the said consent within fourteen days".

Bros, thanks for the post but does the constitution not give the President executive powers for emergency action?

How does this your quote correlate with Gambia power tussle? Is Gambia threatening our sovereignty

Nigeria is there for peacekeeping purpose and for was as your type are projecting it. Why can't you take bitterness away from you for a day? Let Buhari be Mr "oversabi"

Buhari want to go and waste ourr soldiers lives

NNVanguard:

Nigeria army went because of ecowas and Nigeria citizens

Antoeni:
Buhari want to go and waste ourr soldiers lives

billions of dollars would be wasted too regardless of wether they engaged in combat or not.

I am not surprised. Buhari does not understand democratic processes. Well what matters is for that rascal boy- Jammeh to jam serious superfire today and captured like a common criminal he is and thrown to jail.

Bridge of Nigerian constitution does not matter, because it is Buhari? Am not surprise with the state of our economy, it is the reflex of Buhari's intellectual backwardness.

Omoakinsuyi:
What did the constitution say about coming out of economic recession?

yeah about that, the Constitution says we should impeach Buhari now before human being will start to eat sand as rice.

Nigeria did not declare war on Gambia and so i don't think the president broke the law.

SMH!


@OP Nigeria did NOT declare WAR against Gambia, Nigeria only contributed our quota to ECOMIG troop. It is part of our obligation as ECOWAS member state.

This is not the first or second time that Nigeria will send contingents on foreign missions.


Please, I advice that you read on ECOWAS member state obligations.

Ignorance is not good

Dont mind all these ipod zombie most of them are illiterate...

greggng:



You re naive. Nigeria didnot declare any war against any country to that extent, your assertion doesn't apply. War ship was sent to evacuate our citizens incase the mad man in Gambia will. Start war. Senegal are spareheading the whole war rumor. They ve got capacity to deal with that man. How do you think 1000 soldiers will defeat ssenegal with more than 20k soldiers?

greenermodels:

We may not be under immediate threat but we may be under imminent threat in the short-run if nothing is done about it now.

Remember, Syria killings started with just one attack and it has escalated to a world problem. They are now burden and refugees in Europe and rest of the world.

Another reason is this, Nigerian Army train their army over there and if for anything the rest of West African forcefully gain and entrance into the Banjul and seize power from Jammel, it won't go with casualties. That will amount to effort in futility on the part of our Army.

Remember, there were rumours that the suicide bombers employed at the early stage of Boko Haram were from neighboring countries, hence, the need to support our fellow West African countries before it gets out of hand. One good turn deserves another. It could be us in crisis just like they rallied round us against Boko Haram.

With these few point of mine, i hope i have been able to convince and not confuse you that the situation in Gambia is worth our immediate involvement.

Thank you.

The entire section doesn't even apply.

Nigeria is not at war with Gambia, neither are our troops in Gambia as "Nigeria Armed Forces".

The troops are there as part of ECOWAS contingent for ECOMIG, which is part of our obligations to ECOWAS as member state.

Neither Jonathan (2013) nor Buhari (2017) did any wrong.
