Globally, every Head of State and Commander-in-Chief reserves the right to appoint service chiefs that are loyal to him for the preservation of the government of the day and defence of national sovereignty.

Pres. Buhari may have disregarded federal character principle in his own appointment but having an independent body appoint service chiefs is fraught with danger of political instability.
Is there political stability now?
The assertion that loyalty to Head of state is a Global thing is in your imagination
In advanced democracies it is NOT even a consideration
It is only a consideration for Heads of State that lack legitimacy or undeveloped countries where coups are the norm

undecided when I watched the debate I felt sad for Abaribe. The way the 2 chambers work is that lobbying, party interest, tribal and religious interests hold sway.
Now Abaribe may have a very good motion or bill, but where he doesn't have any of the above mentioned, he would have no support and the erstwhile bill or motion will die.
(Sadly his eastern people have no bloc, unity or ideology to pursue or preserve.
Abaribe usually stands alone.
Without recourse to his personal past or tribe, try listening to some of his motions and bills and you'd see that he makes a whole lot of sense mostly.)
When it became rowdy, the press were asked to leave for about 20 minutes.
When the press returned, Abaribe announced that he was withdrawing the bill totally.
Whether he had been bullied, threatened or mocked I don't know.
But people like Abaribe who may have good, dispassionate and genuine bills should be able to sleep well at night knowing at least that they tried.
Somethings are just not worth fighting or crying for.
When Lawan asked for the voice vote and the nays had it, I just realised that many people in the Senate are just there to add numbers to the destruction of the country.
As an aside we all know that children below 18 years in the north are registered by INEC and eventually vote on election days, thereby increasing the numbers needed to win.
So also politicians who plant their people in key positions (eg Jaga, IBB and Hau/Ful) and their followers (the ones moving on top of trailers) in different areas are doing so when it's time to vote, support or get a general opinion from every nook and cranny, they will get majority.
Finally as an aside it is gravely insulting, annoying and ridiculous that whenever anyone here on NL says or stands against APC they are automatically tagged PDP or ipods. That's just callous and ludicrous to be civil.
It is annoying that anyone who says the truth you don't like is your enemy.
Many of us are not allied to any party nor are we Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo... angry live with it, Nigeria is greater than any one tribe or political party!

[s]Abaribe is mad! Tell me which country has such useless bill, service chiefs are always appointed by the commander in chief which is the president. Why didn't he bring it up during the 16years of pdp[/s]

All you useless urchins will just open the hole on your faces to spew nonsense in the name of freedom of speech.

Tell me any country in the world that has such a nepotistic, sectional and tribalist bigot aas the president like you have?

Nepotism, tribalism and bigotry had become the most used words since the inception of the regime.

If you are southerner and perhaps the only child of your parents, am afraid your parents are childless.

Nigeria is finished.

It’s not APC Senators. It’s Arewa north representatives that is over representing Arewa in the National Assembly due to the excess number of states created by Arewa soldiers in the north.

Nothing good can ever come from the National Assembly over populated by Arewa.

I think in Nigeria the opposite is the case.

The 'passage' of the said bill would probably never happen. The sponsor should have gone this route when when he and his people (supporters)held more power in the senate.
But most of them are so shortsighted that they don't ever see the future. They usually forget that sometimes when it's late then it's late. The only way that bill would sail through the national assembly is when the current arrangement starts working against the people who are currently benefiting from it. Or when they perceive that it would start working against them.

Nobody is talking about appointing only people of one's ethnic group here. Buhari may have done it but it is wrong. Yes, a service could be disloyal to the person who appointed him, which earns him a sack and in extreme case, being accused of treason.

Look, all over the world, service chiefs function at the pleasure of the head of government. They report to him and take directives from him. It is a global convention and that's it.

The bill did not say that the commission will appoint service chiefs .....it says it will subject to it's recommendations

Just like NJC recommends those to be appointed to the SC...

THEY will only recommend and Bubu or whosoever is there will still do the appointing

When these guys were service CHIEFS under GEJ it was OK:
Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh; Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola Amosu.
But when these were service chiefs under PMB it is a problem:
2015-2021
Major-General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin as Chief of Defence Staff;
Major-General T.Y. Buratai as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as Chief of Naval Staff;
and Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar as Chief of Air Staff.
2021 TO DATE
Rear Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo, Chief of Naval Staff
Major-General Ibrahim Attahiru, Chief of Army Staff
Major-General Lucky E.O Irabor, Chief of Defence Staff
Air-Vice Marshal Ishiaka Oladayo Amao, Chief of Air Staff
Atleast PMB tried by balancing them along religious line but the other guy was not even sensitive to it and nobody complained.
Only 4 persons are appointed Service Chiefs & we have more than 250 ethnic groups, 6 geopolitical zones, 36 states and some people still want to politicise the most sensitive security office of the Nation. Any President irrespective of his background should choose those he is comfortable with, those he trust without fear of ethno-religious incitations and potential betrayal.

Appointment of service chiefs should rather be an impeachable offense, if it contravened federal character.

Can you design a professional flyer with your smartphone??

Kalu can.

How much do Graphic designers charge for flyers? On average, $8.3

If you can design just 3 flyers daily, you'd be making $750 monthly.

That's close to 270,000 Naira monthly.

Is this achievable? 100%

Is this learnable? A dummy can learn how to do this.

Do you need a laptop for this? No, any smartphone can do this.

That's not all you can learn from me. I will also teach you how to design:

• Logos
• Book covers
• Album covers
• Create Whiteboard animations and
• Professional Photo Manipulation.

You can offer all these on Fiverr, Upwork and anywhere.

These are high income skills that can feed you for life!

Is that all?

No! I will also teach you how to:

• Create 3D logos using mock ups.
• Create Professional eBooks with your smartphone.
• Create Professional marketing videos for companies.

Any other thing? Yeah!

• I will give you ebooks on Graphics designing worth ₦19,000

• An eBook on other gigs and services you can offer on Fiverr apart from Graphics designing.


For all you stand to gain, this training can be easily priced at 50,000 naira.

However, I have slashed it to 7,500 naira. But, the first 20 people will pay 2,990 naira.

The 21st person will pay 5,000 naira.

Why should you trust me?

This is the 34th edition and I have countless testimonies. You can do a background search on me.

When is the class starting?

This Saturday, 20th of March 2021.

How can you reach me?

Send me a message on WhatsApp via the number on the flyer.

Any more guarantees?

Yeah, if you don't make more than 10 times of your money with this skill, I will refund you your money with a written apology.

Wow!

How do I get started?

Send me a message on WhatsApp ,
via the number on the flyer for account details.

PS.: This is not a Canva design class.

PS. 2: Would you rather exchange 2,990 naira for over 270,000 naira or will you use it to flex today?

Rich people think long term, poor people think short term. Which one are you?

Send me a message now.

When Trump was misbehaving as the sitting president did you hear the military, FBI or police issuing threats to citizens or trying to guard his regime as is being done in Nigeria? Comparing Nigeria sometimes to other climes doesn't make sense because those places are way better with abiding with law.... that being said, how should the president be checked in the future to avoid a repeat of Buhari's nepotism

The governor of Benue state alone is facing the Federal government of Buhari, how much the South governors?

This bill is a very best opportunity for Southern and openly minded Senators from the North to putting things in order for the nation.
