df2006: It is such terms and conditions, Mr president yesterday, said the National Assembly should clarify, until then his assets declaration remains with the relevant bodies, and not to the public, and he doesn't give a damn what you think about it.

Mandelaguy: where is this one coming from? You are the one who appears very lost on the issue at hand. If all you could do after reading thru this summary was to post " this one is lost" then there is a problem. Your mates have been reviewing the chat summary and picking out holes or salient points contained therein but you chose to review other people's post. Quite unfortunate. I hve been able to deduce 10 things from the Presidents chat as follows:
1. The sack of Azazi was effected in a bid to improve on the security networking
2. The president was still ontop of the security situation in the country from Brasil.
3. He did not cancel his Brasilian trip so as not to bolster the confidence of Boko Haram further.
4. He is working to attract foreign investors into the power sector and there arose the need to increas tariffs to encourage them to come in.
5. He said the new tariffs demands more from the rich and less from the poor.
6. He said that he made sure the YOUWIN scheme was accessible to youths without unnecessary connections. He also said that those who missed should wait for the next round
7. He said his govt is making fertilizer more accessible to farmers.
8. He says he is carrying out reforms in many sectors and those who want to crticise him can go ahead till the reforms start yielding dividends
9. He said the concession of Lagos-ibadan has legal issues to be resolved in court.
10. He said he' will not negotiate with faceless terrorist groups.
Oya, Mr. Lost. pls tell me what you heard in the Presidents chat. Over to you.

df2006: Wo! kobo, abi wetin demand call u? I don't have your time.

[size=13pt]3. The Bureau shall have power to:

df2006:

The Federal Government had in a circular dated January 29, 2012, from the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, ordered ministries, agencies, departments and all other public institutions to start implementing the FOI Act. But the bureau argued that it needs the National Assembly "to spell out the conditions and terms" upon which it would reveal such information requested by the newspaper

[b]
"It is the considered opinion of the Bureau that the provision of paragraph 3(c) of Part 1 of the Third Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has precluded the Bureau the liberty to oblige you what you have requested. The provision states thus: 'The Bureau shall have power to retain custody of Assets Declarations and make them available for inspection by any citizen of Nigeria on such terms and conditions as the National Assembly may prescribe.'"

It added that, "it is the contention of the bureau that: (a) The Constitution is Supreme Law of the land. Its provisions, therefore, take precedence over any other Act, Law or Regulation.

"(b) The provisions of the Freedom of Information Act could not substitute the constitutional requirements of the National Assembly to prescribe the terms and conditions under which Assets Declarations could be released.

"(c) The National Assembly, as of date, did not provide the Bureau, as custodian of Asset Declarations, those terms and conditions under which we could release the information to the public.

"In the circumstances, therefore, until the National Assembly prescribes such terms and conditions, the Code of Conduct Bureau would find it impossible to grant your request," CCB said.

So until the National Assembly lays down the terms and conditions, Jonathan's declaration is not going public, and he doesn't give a damn whether you shout yourself hoarse!

jmaine:

Thumbs up bro for this shut up article . . . Hopefully the blind critics do this now =======>

rhymz: hahahahahahah....knowing how she likes to have the last word even when she sounds incredibly stooopid and dumb....free her jor...lol

texazzpete:

Believe it or not, we expect the President to multi-task even during this Boko Haram menace. Money has been allocated to all sectors in the last budget passed. I do not expect GEJ to use Boko Haram as an excuse for underperformance and failure to keep his pre-election campaign. Nobody will castigate the President for declaring his asset now and you know this. Why spread FUD?

We want to know what our leaders and public servants go in with...so we can benchmark when they come out and have a rough idea how much they've enriched themselves with our state funds.

For example a few years ago Tompolo was a millitant leader with no visible legal source of income. Now he's able to make payments of $150 million to secure a ludicrously cheap Waterways security contract. How did that happen?
Only in Nigeria.

mbulela:
I am not saying that he should not declare his assets, i am just pointing out that there are more important issues and whether he declares or not, the bazaar continues.

mbulela: What difference will asset declaration make sef?
It is not like any of these barbarians in power are living within their means.
You have elected MPs stealing 620million dollars in cash and calling it a trial from God.
Same guy is receiving well wishers in his house and you are people are talking about asset declaration.
I don't care whether he declares his assets or not. I am more worried by the fact that the guy is inept and has been promoted far above his ability.
With this man at the helm, we seem doomed.

Mandelaguy: In all sincerity, I have come to the conclusion that you will neve see anything good in the man. Some of us have seen through you,and we know messengers like you who abound in churches and mosques,whose trade in stock is to multiply lies,misquote people and spread discord,but you will never succeed. Like someone told you earlier,gloves are off,and people will punch out the truth from your mouth. All of us heard wha he said on asset declaration,not the way you are putting it to people. Wake up junkie.

Kobojunkie:

Disproved? Are you having comprehension problems? I asked you if the President lied to the Nation yesterday when he declare the truth which is that he has not declared his asset and does not want to go against his principles?

Letter from CCB? [size=14pt]Of course CCB is not bound by FOI but by the Constitution. The Constitution requires that the CCB give the information to every Nigerian Citizen, not FOI. And I already posted it up there for you to read. [/size]

If the President declared yesterday that he did not believe in Asset Declaration, and even said he did not grudgingly in 2007, are you saying the President lied on June 24th 2012 when you suggest that he has in fact declared his asset?

ayobase:

Can u sourcely tell me the worth of other Presidents...especially Obama!
