Simplyleo:

Mr working brain in proper use, stop pretending to be intelligent cos you can't give what is not there.

Ffk said buhari is not worth to be called a president and I asked how that strips him of his status. Then you came with your "working brain" spitting, fuming all over the places writing nonsense about education, little payment and all those useless inconsequential gibberish.

Ffk described buhari with unprintable names and I wondered how that strips him of his status as ffk would have wished.

Now, Mr working brain with useful education, if you can't answer the simple and direct question, the gtfu outta my mention.

My last response though.

trutht828:


When you intentionally break the law as a president, you automatically disrespect your office and violate the Constitution and your duty to respect and uphold the same as the custodian of that office.

May I remind you Mr Ass licker, that buhari swore to uphold the Constitution? Ask yourself, has buhari not broken that oath or not?

Have you asked yourself how many times buhari had broken the Constitution and disrespected the laws of nigeria? Oh, it doesn't matter to you, right? But the equal and opposite response of the citizens to buhari's obvious desecration of the Constitution is the only thing that you see?

Boy, it's either you have a low IQ or you are just intentionally avoiding the truth.

DonCandido:


Demonstrate HERE and NOW that you possess higher IQ by stating with PRECIS the PROVISIONS of the Constitution the president has violated TO DATE.

Don't want to see the opposition platitudes or talking points o.

Show you are a discerning citizen and capable of independent views in addition to your vaunted and VERY doubtful IQ.

Waiting...

trutht828:


Buhari swore to protect the Constitution, didn't he?

How many times has he broken court orders? Let's start from there.

If that doesn't sound like a breach of the Constitution to you, then you have serious mental problem.

DonCandido:


Let's put this on RECORD that you have FAILED to state ANY provisions of the Constitution of the country the president has VIOLATED and for which he ought to be impeached by the legislative arm of the government.

We left with your risible pooh poohing of the current opposition talking points making waves all over the internet. This shows quite CLEARLY that you are incapable of original opinion, your views are ill digested opinions of others.

Please note that ANY president's duty is to maintain law and order in any part of the country. In maintaining law and order, he MUST be guided by the UNWRITTEN RULE to protect and secure the MAJORITY at all times. He must confront frontally any act of any individual that threatens the safety of the majority. He is permitted by law to go as far as suspend civil law and declare a state of emergency if it will help to achieve the objective of protecting the majority and safeguarding the country. Many of our leaders have used this tool in recent past.

Note again that the concept of Rule of Law is an English Common Law doctrine which holds sway ONLY in places where there exists "law and order" in the first place otherwise it is useless. It is useless as a battle axe in situation conflicts. You can consequently not expect "Rule of Law" in Yemen, Syria, Somalia and lately Iraq.

No president should wait and allow a single, misguided individual to turn the country into any of the above stated countries by threatening the law and order the president has sworn to protect and the individual thereafter run to court screaming "rule of law" and seeking protection of the law his action had threatened.

If you are objective enough and not led by emotive materials ob the internet, you will agree with me that what our crude but efficient security agencies have averted in the cases of Nnamdi KANU, Sowore, El Zazaky could have caused a conflagration that would make Book Haram a child's play.

imagine how many lives, properties, money etc could have been saved if the sitting president and security agencies had been proactive in curtailing the excesses of Book Haram in 2009.

Finally, current judicial authorities have recognized the truism the the magic wand of " Rule of Law " does not work and cannot hold sway where the security of the nation is at stake.

The standard operating procedure for judges is that once it is shown by verifiable facts on affidavit that a person is deemed a security threat to the nation and by extension to the majority, the Court ought not to exercise its discretion to grant bail especially where the charges before the Court borders on treason. A non bailable capital offence ANYWHERE in the world.

An order made in such circumstances is liable to be disobeyed as a VAIN order for the simple end of protecting the nation and it's peoples.

Buhari's Oath Of Allegiance


"I, Muhammadu Buhari, do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God."



Now, check number 9 of the Code of Conduct for Public for Public Officers, Fifth Schedule, 1999 Constitution of the federal republic of nigeria here: http://www.waado.org/nigerdelta/ConstitutionalMatters/1999Constitution/FifthSchedule.html

After going through the writs above, ask yourself sincerely if obvious disobedience to court orders does not desecrate nigeria's Constitution.

And hope you are broad minded enough to know that the president and his office are products of politicking?

Hope you are broad minded enough to know that it is in the nature of the said office and any elected occupant to play politics?

Hope you are bright enough to know that it is not the job of a newspaper to play partisan (read opposition) politics without first registering as a political party?

Hope you are bright enough to know that what Punch Newspaper did with its editorial this morning is NOT journalism but political activism?

Do you know that deliberately disrespecting the office and title of the president is a violation of the Constitution and your duty to respect and uphold same as a citizen under the Constitution?

I think the media regulators should look into the composition of Punch newspapers' editorial board...

Agboriotejoye:

Reading through your post, I can see reason why you are a govt supporter of tyranny. You're simply ignorant.
Do you watch CNN at all? Try and read Washington post and see how they lambast trump day in day out.
Point where it is in the ethics of journalism that you're not allowed to be partisan that's assuming punch is indeed being partisan
If you think newspapers are not allowed to engage in political activism, I wonder what you'll think of TELL, Newswatch, The News etc between 1992-1998
I'm disappointed in what you wrote really

Jflex07:
Aptly written bro. But remember that you can never convince a paid zombie just like the ones you just quoted above..They have sold their souls for a yam of porridge..They are so useless that no matter what their lord and Savior the tyrannical dictator does they will always find a way to justify his so many disgusting acts.. I spit on them all. Nonsense.

Now that there are no "likes" to be earned on this topic, let me NOW respond to your d-m-b post.

I START by asking you once again, what PARTICULAR section (s) of the Constitution or any law for that matter has the president violated that he ought to be investigated for by the legislature and sanctioned in accordance with the law?

In your impetuous and seemingly imperious post,you FAILED woefully to SHOW how section 9 of the Public Officer's Act -relied on with aplomb by you-relate to the action of the president to protect the country from certain non state actors who threatened and continues to threaten the corporate existence of the country?. Did you in fact read the WHOLE of the Public Officer's Act or did you just read section 9 and thew the sink at me by sending me the link? Pray, what is the nexus between the Oath of Office of the president and section 9 of the Public Officer's Act?

Are you saying by doing his sworn job to keep the majority of Nigerians safe from social delinquents and potentially violent non state actors amounted to the president acting for his own benefit? Did you read section 9 of the Act at all? Can you read and comprehend at all? How has the president's action with regards to SOWORE, DAZUKI, KANU, ZAKZAKY amounted to acting for his own benefit [/b]for him to be deemed to have violated the provision of the section of the Act as misconstrued, misapplied and misinterpreted by you?

Are you saying that the 5 judges of the supreme Court who in the case of okubo-Asari v. Federal Republic of Nigeria (2007) 12 NWLR (pt. 1048) reached a determination that:

“W[b]here national security is threatened or there is the real likelihood of it being threatened, human rights or the individual right of those responsible takes second place”. And that “the corporate existence of Nigeria as a united, harmonious, indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation is certainly greater than any citizen’s liberty or right… Once the security of this nation is in jeopardy it survives in pieces rather than in peace, the individual liberty or right may not even exist”. stupid?

YOU are a misguided youth lacking self confidence and who gets his mojo by seeking to putt others down on NL. Your craft is to mislead others in order to earn "likes' that cannot be deposited in any BANK.

READ and comprehend. STOP trying to win arguments or you will grow up like Festus Keyamo.

Same here.

The title and office are conferred by the Constitution!

The newspaper is playing to the gallery and seriously pressing the mumu buttons of its undiscerning readers.

It must have been a very slow news day for the newspaper.

I read partisan politics and desperation into the childish editorial piece.

0monnak0da:


There is no constitutional issue here
The Constitution does NOT confer any title

Cite the section of the constitution that confers a TITLE
He is :

"The President of Nigeria Maj. General (rtd) Buhari"

just like Shagari was

The President of Nigeria Alhaji Shehu Shagari

The Vice President is regularly callled Professor Osinbajo

Goodluck was called Dr. Jonathan

so why the drama

Arrogant display of buffoonery.

The office of president is not a creation of the constitution? Have you taken your injection today?

DonCandido:


On the contrary[b] you should be disappointed[/b] in your thought process. it is faulty.

Comparing the civilized journalistic activism of the media in the United State with Punch Newspapers' shameful "EDITORIAL" is VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Maybe you did NOT read the editorial, it is cringe worthy to anyone with any sense of propriety. It reads like a press release from Wadata Plaza authored by no other person than Ologbodiyan.

I will suggest that you shorn any resort to emotional judgment in a matter you do not have all the facts and strive to make only "an apple for an apple comparison".

It will interest you to know that none of the media outfits in the US referenced by you has ever written anything to disparage the institution the president represents. The Americans holds the office of the president in the highest esteem. It does not stop them from criticizing the the occupier and his policies when necessary, THEY HAVE NEVER DIRECTLY CANVASSED THE POPULACE TO DISRESPECT THEIR PRESIDENT BY CALLING HIM NAMES OR CHARACTERIZING HIS POLICIES TO SCORE A "POLITICAL POINT" AS THE PUNCH NEWSPAPERS OBVIOUSLY DID.

The Supreme Court in the case of Dokubo-Asari v. Federal Republic of Nigeria (2007) 12 NWLR (pt. 1048) made it clear that in order to keep us safe from non state actors (SOWORE, KANU, ZAKZAKY, DAZUKI)who HAVE BEEN DETERMINED by the state security agencies to dangerous to the corporate existence of the nation, the executive may lawfully derogate from the rights of such an individual for the benefit of the majority.

Hear the Court:
“Where national security is threatened or there is the real likelihood of it being threatened, human rights or the individual right of those responsible takes second place”. It went further to explain that “the corporate existence of Nigeria as a united, harmonious, indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation is certainly greater than any citizen’s liberty or right… Once the security of this nation is in jeopardy it survives in pieces rather than in peace, the individual liberty or right may not even exist”.

CHEW on this and educate others. The Supremacy of Rule of Law propagated by the likes of Hobbes and Lord Atkins of the House of Lords which he echoed in his dissent in the case of Liversidge v Anderson (1946) AC 206, IS NOT A WREATH AT LARGE, it has limitation.
Please UNHAND ME and continue to disappointed in your limited knowledge.

GOOD MORNING ANCESTOR!!![size=8pt][/size]

The President CHOOSES the style or Honorific he wishes to use.
That is a matter of official protocol.
The press are under NO OBLIGATION to use official protocol when reporting news as long as they do not break any law

In 2015 Buhari CHOSE he did not wish to be called General that is a choice not the Law

Once again

Shehu Shagari was known, if you are old enough to know, as Alhaji Shehu Shagari

The current Vice President is called Professor and

Goodluck Jonathan was called Doctor
