U that is defending magu I see u as a very low thinker. What good has d policy of selective corruption fight done to u? Rather than good what we get is hunger, starvation, division, senseless killings, a certain tribe bearing arms without disturbance, loss of jobs, lies, vindictiveness, intimidation, lawlesness ,recession, propaganda and hardship.may God Almighty judge d all the wicked counselors in our country and show them d way out of gvt so Nigeria can move forward.

TundeHashim:
Sir, this is actually not the way things work...according to the EFCC act, a person can't continue in acting capacity for more than one year that's why the executive wants magu confirmed. I dont believe in ur assertion that MAGU is the brightest bulb....they're many brighter bulbs out there and not magu alone...Also, we should commend the NASS not blame them...they're not as bad as we think...when they stopped the hike in data, the ban of CG Customs duties on cats and so more...we still criticized them..they've got their usefulness Nd we shouldn't be blaming them all the time..

soberdrunk:
This is one of the many problems of our country, too much talk and very little action, yes he is not the brightest bulb in the store but with Magus achievements and the amount of 'stolen'money he has recovered as "acting" chairman, even if he decides to use the 'Bakassi boys' approach, he should have the full support of the senate if truly they want to eradicate corruption....

Papertrail11:
magu dosent seem to answer question intelligently how much has been recovered so far by the effcc

magu: it's hard for me to say if I was tinubus wife I will go over there and konk him on his head idiot. just like askn a market woman how much did u make otoday she dosent know it's wierd

Shut up , went tru d questions, he didn't perform badly he answered well, what else do they want, is it not obvious that even if he was flawless they would still reject him.... Rubbish

When did the senate acquire the power to appoint someone to carry out an executive function in Nigeria? Dino should go and sit down.

. Hmm, that's nigeria for you my friend! They knows the man's reputation they saw what he is doing as acting head and they were afraid that if he takes his job fully he will step on anybody's toe. The man knows no God father, he has no friends in the circle. They know the man can step on anybody's toes if he found his hands dirty. Well I know PMB knows all this about the guy and he will send him back or forcefully exercise power to appoint him without the senate involvement. Let the truth be told every nigerian knows its only with people like magu nigeria will rise again.

Dont mind Dino Melayeand ignorant posters like him and @Freeze001

Dino is just playing to the galleries, giving 'food" for the ignorant ones to chew on.

DSS's Daura is actually, by his actions, working against the Anti-Corruption posture of President Buhari and his government.
Whether Buhari will be bold enough and fire him ir allow his "`familial relationship" with Daura to override the interest of Nigerians and the country, including his party as a whole,........ time will tell.

I love the President but l just hope he will not squander the goodwill of Nigerians who elected him......... just like that "Dofus from Otuoke" did and we booted him out.

faceURfront:


You funny o. Even by Magu's testimony today in response to one of d questions, he can't say exactly how much has been recovered. U are here talkin about achievements. What are the achievements? How much has he recovered?

As long as Buhari doesn't give in, there is nothing any Daura or Saratif can do to Magu. He doesn't need their fking confirmation if push comes to shove! Buhari tolerating these crooks this far baffles me.

I wonder at your cognitive and comprehensive skills... (its called "comprehension skills".. you dont have to write/speak "grammar" you dont understand! )
The Senate did not appoint anyone but rather directed that he hand over to the most senior officer. The EFCC will not grind to a halt because there is no substantive head. It's d reason ministers are removed and directed to hand over to d perm secretaries of their ministries who are usually the most senior officers pending when nominations and appointments are made. It is common sense and civil service requirements.

Do not be ignorant! It is a deadly disease.

PS: The first and last lines of my post are directed at daboomb.

Its obvious you are one of those people who think "Six and Half-Dozen" are two different things simply because they dont sound alike and are not spelt alike!

*Senate refuse to confirm Magu, a "sitting appointee" of the Executive Arm of Govt.
*Senate then asks him to Vacate his current post (Chairman)
*Senate then ask him (Magu, who was appointed by the President) to hand over to his junior officer!

Then people like you who cant "process information logically" say Senate is not trying to appoint a replacement for Magu!

The summary of what you need to understand is enshrined in the doctrine of "Separation of Powers".
ONLY the Executive Arm of Govt can Appoint/Remove Chairmen for/of its Agencies like EFCC.

The only job of the Legislature is to confirm (or not confirm, in which case the person remains "acting" chairman only) whoever the Executive Arm of Govt appoints.

The Legislature has no power to remove or appoint another person.

By asking Magu to vacate his seat, the Senate is usurping the Powers of the Executive (Removal of an appointee)
By asking Magu to hand-over to another person (his junior officer), the Senate is again acting Ultra vires...appoint an officer to the post of Chariman of EFCC

Gerrit?

That is a free lecture 101 for you.

I will not join issues with u on this, ur ego, miserable as it is, already stands between u and basic comprehension and understanding so who am I to interfere? I hear ignorance is bliss so I'll leave you to it.

Daboomb:


Not just you, it baffles me too!

But then, this is a democracy (as in real DEMONSTRATION OF CRASE!), the Constitution allows Criminals in the NASS to gang-up and impeach the President, if they think he is giving them too much heat!... once they can muster 2/3 majority and in a criminal ~Enterprise like the Nigerian NASS, that is not a difficult thing to do so, the President at times has to thread softly!

If this were 1983, Saraki, Dino and all those criminals in the NASS would have been dead or changed their outlook towards the country and its wealth.

This is why l keep saying "Nigeria is not yet matured and ready for FULL DEMOCRACY"!
We are abusing it and making a mockery of it.

Can the U.K parliament do such shameful things as `we have our NASS doing? Can it happen in German or Japanese` or Chinese parliaments?

soberdrunk:


Just out of curiosity, was he supposed to bring the monies to your house for confirmation?

Daboomb:


If you are Galla-Seller, in real life, l wont bother to respond to you but if you have even a little education, though its a shame you cant use it, l will still enlighten you!

Senate Confirmation is not about "How much EFCC has recovered"!
If Saraki and Co-Criminals want to know how much the EFCC has recovered, they should just summon the Head Accountant of EFCC, who will come with Financial Documents related to that topic.

You clowns dont realize that as an organisation gets bigger, there is "specialisation" of activities and the Head (Political Head) relies on information from his subordinates, to answer certain question.

Why is Saraki and Dino Melaye more interested in how much has been recovered......during a confirmation hearing?
Why dont they just visit the EFCC HQ, using their Power of Office and demand to see the books?

Please, dont put mouth into issues above your level of reasoning...

whao:
I see, he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.

DSS lie detective test shows you Magu lied.

Who is NEXT ...... CUSTOMER BOSS or C/thief. Come and explain why you want to kill us with your double tax
Imagine an old man driving his only God knows how manage he got a 150k to buy one old Volvo to pick old market women to feed his family to provide custom duties? Please that man need to explain yo us why he want yo add more sufferness to us.
