At the end of the day "democrazy" is bloody over-rated. Especially this Western-style those guys sold us.

I am not a huge fan. Just saying.

Awol1:
Well, Abaribe is intelligent and like the only Senator from Southeast. But I agree with Ohaneze Youth Council on this.

If any commission is established, officers of the armed forces will start lobbying for recommendation which would in turn breed a new kind of corruption all together.

Again, it tends to take control away from the president who is the chief security officer. The President should be allowed to appoint those he feels can best deliver on his security masterplan so that if they fail, we blame him for it.

What Abaribe should have put in his bill would have been to compel the President to make his security appointments in such a way that every region of the country is represented. I don't think any region of this country is in dearth of security experts.

Also, every personnel whose tenure has ended should be retired unlike this brutish exercise of presidential prerogative on our present expired service chiefs.

We can make this country work for us.

Nigeria can work.

But we must put such frameworks such that no ethnic bigot like Buhari will ever exclude any region in governance process.

Nigeria should adopt rotational democracy because of our diversity. Let's get these things enshrined in our constitution and be done with politics of survival of the fittest.

I concur

Thank God

Don't invest there now. You will just lose it. Instead, for now, put your money in savings or fixed deposit or a trusted fixed returns platform and ride out the global corona virus crisis. When that's done, invest in stocks and watch it fly. If you are not patient for that and want to earn weekly, you can indicate your interest here and send me an email at trendmanager2020@gmail dot com. You will be getting my highly profitable gold (xauusd) signals. But it will cost you per week. Anyone else interested can do the same.

Honestly, after writing nicely, the idiot spoiled everything with his hate for the president. If not because of hope that presidency may move to them, l am sure he would have thrown support to Abaribe.

Whenever I see an Op name bearing Igbo name and I see that the topic or the news is against the interest of the Igbos, I just conclude it's a FAKE news from Lagos - Ibadan Expressway!!

Jeopardize the Presidential System of Government which Igbos stand to benefit in 2023

The bill is probably to check the powers of the President. That is the essence of checks and balances.

is your family aware of this? help them first idiot

Happy new week to you all

This is a stupid bill.

Abaribe wasn't thinking we'll when he sponsored this bill.

Yorubas will say, when you have a headache, you don't cut off the head.

They should instead legislate a bill that will better screen those who vie for the post of President so that only the best with good intentions can become the President and Commander-in-chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

FuckThaMod:
But we igbos don't like Nigeria, why should we give a fvck about it's democracy and 2023? Aren't we suppose to focus on only biafra and allow the country to raze down for all we care?

one question are you willing to kill your fellow man, when war time comes, no be say war come you come dey carry Ghana must go go run enter another country, we don't need another civil war I am a pure Igbo man, and war bring starvation and death coupled with diseases to both children and their mothers.

Please act rationally our fight is against bigotry, tribalistic scum and corrupted rouge politicians and their dead brain zombie followers

Which Igbo man will base political benefit on 2023 Presidency

I know the Majority of Igbos dont need 2023 presidency. a significant number of them need Biafra (I think they wont be better off in Biafra anyway).

What Nigeria needs is for communities to be more independent from a system that is mixed up with people of different idea of success.

We need to convince other progressive minded individuals, across ethnicity, that we are better off pushing our different ideas of success with minimal restriction in the name of a Federation.

I dont agree with Abaribe. Buhari's lopsided appointments shows the need to restructure the country asap.
Navy and Ports authority will have experts located in port cities hence no need to have a man that never saw water lead the Navy.
Police will be community based and not reporting to a man who has no idea of the terrain. An Igbo man in Abia has no business leading civil defence in Kano where drinking alcohol in the public is a civil offence.

These are the issues Buhari's nepotism has laid bare.

For the Ohaneze youth blablabla.... they are not representing Igbo people.... Any Ohaneze without Nwodo is neither Oha nor Eze

You put up a nice comment but ruined it with your last line of statement.



Any Ohaneze without NNAMDI KANU is not in the interest of ndigbo. Nnamdi Kanu is the only true Igbo leader we have now.

God bless you,
God bless me,
God bless Nnamdi Kanu,
God bless Ndigbo and all lovers of freedom.

valentineuwakwe:
Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC), the apex Igbo socio-cultural youth body, has described the newly introduced Armed Forces Bill in the National Assembly as an invitation of coup d’etat against civilian Presidents.

The Igbo group cautioned members of the National Assembly on the implications of the proposed Armed Forces Bill by the Senate if passed into law.

Ohanaeze Youth opined that the bill, if allowed to stand, would truncat Nigeria democracy as the contents of the proposed legislation seeks to wrest the sacred Powers and authority conferred on the President and Commander in Chief of Armed Forces by 1999 Constitution Section 217 and 218 for the Composition, Appointment and termination of service Chiefs of Armed Forces of Nigeria by vesting it in a Commission which can be Manipulative in on a rogue collaboration with enemies of Democracy to Overthrow a Civilian President.

DAILY POST learnt that the Armed Forces Bill sponsored by Senator Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe, seeks to address presumed lopsided appointment of heads of Security Agencies in the Country,

However, a statement forwarded to DAILY POST on Sunday by the President General(OYC), Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Secretary-General, Okwu Nnabuike, queried why such sensitive bill empowers a commission to recommend to the President whoever they feel is qualified for appointment as Service Chief and Head of Security agencies in Nigeria without Mr President’s input if it’s not for sinister motives and nefarious activities of the sponsors.

The group further added in the release, “OYC condemns vehemently such Armed Forces Bill, as it is an abuse of legislative powers, traduces military Tradition. Political Musketeers will arm-twist unlawfully a sitting Civilian President if Senate passes it into law. Such powers to make appointment of Service Chiefs will be bestowed on non-elective persons, who might use it for anti-democratic motives to hold the Presidency at ransom against the collective interests of Nigerians.

“OYC wants the National Assembly to know that the Igbos are not in support of any action that might jeopardize the Presidential System of Government which Igbos stand to benefit in 2023. We disassociate ourselves from the proposed Armed Forces Bill and urge the National Assembly that such reckless bill would not be supported by the Igbos as it is dead on arrival”.

Please just tell me. What is the difference between this bill and the Federal Character Principle that gives leverages and upper hand to the North vis a vis other regions or tribes? If you think the bill is unhealthy and it will breed incompetencies and favouritism over meritocracy then tell me if the Federal Character is not doing same? If the Northerners have not found anything wrong with the Federal Character then why should these boys from the East find anything wrong with this bill? Or are they trying to paint Ohaneze blue and give it a nationalistic colouration?

Person wey hate you done hate you, there is nothing you can do about it.
