My point is, you have to be alive to eat food, dead people can not eat food.

Obey and follow safety instructions first because if you don't, you will get infected, you will infect your family and possibly die.

Stay safe and stay alive first.

Bro don't be an asshole in my comment to you I stated that I stand to be corrected which simply means I can make mistakes and we can correct each not u acting me as if u were sent by Buhari take your stupidity away from me and get yourself a life it's Monday

The law is the law regardless of the when and how it was created, it's still the law of the land until it's repealed or amended.

Stop confusing and misleading yourself.

Democracy isn't for a terrible country like Nigeria. We need communism like China. You will see fools who can't even control their wives at home lambasting the president, thinking they have opinions. Most of them can't lead their family but they will be the first to talk down govt efforts. We require serious iron hand for things to get right in Nigeria. We need a commando-style of leadership. Nigerians are lawless people which is the reasons we have lawless leaders. Remember, today leaders were once citizens before.

HomorBj:



Sorry for quoting u,but this cannot be likened to a state of emergency..It hasn’t reached that stage yet,and the President as the GCFR is empowered by existing laws of the constitution to protect the citizens even if it has to be at the detriment of everyone

koffsman:
Agreed but I see you have a way with words I told you I stand to be corrected so I expected you to be knowledgeable enough not to use polite insult on someone who told you such words nobody is confusing and misleading anyone why don't you go ahead and Tackle the SAN at least he was giving that title because he knows his job well I read the article and read his and I picked my opinion out of it how is that a crime kindly don't use polite Insult on me because I openly apologized to you that if I have used any form of insultive words that I was sorry so why still use such words pls stop it

idealogical:



I don't have to tackle the SAN, you brought up the san and his factless comment, the fact that he is a SAN doesn't mean he's right regarding this issue because he's flat out wrong, he must have made the pronouncement before reading and understanding the constitution regarding this issue.

There is no need to keep arguing over nothing, the main issue here is the Nigerian constitution, let us read and understate whats it.

I actually did not insult you in any way and if I did, I'm sorry.

koffsman:
Bro agreed we all want to be safe but that yeye presidio does not have the power to tell us lock down in Lagos,. Even Sanwo-Olu on the 29 denied trying to do such. we are no longer in Military regime they need the national assembly to approve and also what relief materials have they provided to we the citizens take for example I'm a salary earner who has a baby and a wife at home and salary is yet to be paid, money in the account has been used to stock up the house, so now how do we survive for the next 14 days no light we no go buy fuel? gas go finish won't we cook? now let's leave me alot of people have perishable goods in stock who will give them rebate we need to consider this, westerns planned theirs well but our leaders just do copy and paste we are not up to 200m in this country why not share money to everyone through BVN simple as that. we keep hearing they donated this donated that and where has the 15b gone too abegii we are in a charade of Jokers

How effective will the lockdown be if people still move from house to house, street to street??

Can they lock everyone in like Environmental sanitation day?? That's the only effective lockdown

Lordave:
Is that act/law enshrined in the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria?

We do our objectives a lot of harm by raising flimsy shortcomings rather than the big issues.

Lordave:
I ask again, the law you and the OP quoted is it enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of The Federal Republic of Nigeria as Amended?

You have been singing the “the constitution, the constitution” all over this thread yet you haven’t proven where the constitution accommodates the Quaratine Act of 1926.

Can’t you just do that and end all this back and forth argument?

funmike83:
Why are we like this in nig. When the man didn't talk , you were all shouting , now that he gave directives, na another wahala. We are just too complex to rule in this country

PIPnator10:


I do understand your case but trust me on this, its all gonna be fine soon.
The world will collectively overcome this.
I have to tell you too, lockdown doesnt mean you wouldnt step out of your house.
I am in a country where we are currently observing a lockdown and the lockdown has been extended to another 28days (not fun).
Here is how it happens, with the lockdown, you are free to go to the nearest shop around you to get your essentials and go back to the house immediately. No hanging around/about at the pub or club. Lockdown means, you can only go out for the most immediate/important thing.
Trust me, this virus is real. Last night while I was in my sitting room, I heard ambulance siren move past my area.
I knew what that means, probably another case! You dont need that feeling of knowing a Covid case may be around your area!
Please lets all respect the lockdown. Gradually we will over this!

koffsman:
Hope you know that during that period we were been ruled by the westerns and also the military so it's quit different to democracy, he needs the national assembly of Lagos State to approve and it's only Sanwo-Olu that can deaclear such in Lagos and more so if Buhari wants to order for State of emergency he needs the Senate to approve but unfortunately senate sef no sit down so he has no power too no be military era we dey bros

Oga, you go school so? Somebody has taken pains to show you the constitution and the powers available and you are still typing shit. Just reread what you typed? How can Nigeria progress with youths spouting this crap?

idealogical:



The constitution does.

The judiciary or any other arm of government can not overrule the Nigeran constitution because the constitution is the bedrock and safety valve in any democracy. The judiciary's job is to defend and interpret the constitution, not to throw out the constitution or amend the constitution based on their own reasonings.

You can not in one breath champion and defend democracy while in another breath blame the president for doing exactly what the constitution asked him to do.

Any act that the constitution sanctions can not be illicit, you are not making any sense.

ccollins:
you haven't made a relevant rejoinder here,my unassailable fortiori still remains that with conceding to the fact that the judiciary interprets laws.it is a flurry of expose to note that the powers of the judiciary is unlimited in affairs in our democratic corpus juris whether the proprietary or impropriety of the executive/presidency actions is unambiguous. Look at section 6 (6) of the 1999 constition. The court still has the inherent, innate powers to determine the validity or necessary steps a government can make even before the presidency can make that step in relation to sacrosanct issues on human rights. I place reliance on this proviso of s.6 (b) of the 1999 Constitution
6) The judicial powers vested in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section-

(a) shall extend, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, to all inherent powers and sanctions of a court of law;

(b) shall extend to all matters between persons. or between government or authority and to any person in Nigeria, and to all actions and proceedings relating thereto, for the detennination of any question as to the civil rights and obligations of that person
Nigeria is a member states of the African union who adopted a grundnorm of African charter on human rights which is binding, vivid, incontrovertible and rooted like the rock of gilbatrar in Nigeria. You can like a military dictator oust the valid jurisdiction of the court compass to determine if your order is legal or illegal.that's ouster clauses which is not justifiable in a democratic setting.I say this with respect even to our laws I.e quarantine act of 1920 and public health safety act.it is hornbook law that where a law contradicts the en fons origo that is to say our constitution. That law shall be invalid to the extent of its contradiction

You should be guided. As a matter of fact, Nigeria (Niger area) came about in 1914
