Politics / Re: Sagay To National Assembly: British Parliament Can’t Summon Queen by Alaska90(m): 11:05pm On Dec 10, 2020 |
blacknp: No you are wrong sir.. 1979 constitution fully turned Nigeria to an American system. One of the objectives of 1963 constitution is to have an elected president who would no longer represent the Queen.. Nigeria wanted to be independent from the Queen The constitution of 1963 used the British Parliamentary or Cabinet System. The act of 1979 adopted the American Presidential system (the Washington Model) I am not necessary calling for Westminster style of government but a parliamentary federal system of Government that would bring government close to people And I don't know what you meant by this "God save Queen Victoria, not Elizabeth" The British government is owned by the Queen.....presently Queen Elizabeth...Her Majesty Government And if you don't agree with me on constitution to adopt you should at least agree that the Prof analogy was wrong. |

Sagay who said summoning Buhari amounts to denigrating the sovereignty of Nigeria also reminded the lawmakers that the British Parliament cannot summon the Queen to respond to any issue. I am so disappointed in this Prof ( Nigerian with big title but zero Knowledge ). Mr Prof the Queen of England is not just ordinary head of state but the owner of the country. Everything in the country is named after her eg Royal Navy, Royal mail, Her Majesty Government HMG etc Everybody is working for her.....She is above the law!...she cant be taken to court for any offence! According to British system, she has delegated the management of day to day affairs of her country to the Prime minister which is selected by the British people And the parliament can summon the Prime minister to explain anything at any time. But fortunately. there is what you call a Prime minister question day , normally on Wednesday where Member of the parliament MP can question the Prime minister on any issue affecting the country or their constituencies. Thereby taking democracy to the people. This is what we should be advocating for in Nigeria rather than another useless and expensive election in 2023 with the same military constitution. We need to go back to people constitution which is the 1963 constitution and reform it to current situation of the country. Imagine having a President like Buhari that you only see in public once in a year......he cant not answer any critical question correctly. That's the reason they don't want him to go to the house of assembly. I am so disappointed in this Prof oh. 1 Like |

OsamaB: I told you to differentiate between influence and being under empire There is nothing in history both written and oral to suggest that Benin was directly ruling these places in this map They influenced many place for example Owo culture of beads |

Etrusen: What is your point? Yoruba people are independent and were living in different kingdoms with Ife Kingdom as an ancestral home for everybody. But Oyo Empire because of its military might ( especially its Calvary army unit) wanted to bring everybody under one empire but some refused and fought Oyo back. But actually this topic was about similar words in Yoruba and Edo languages....why all the history? |

OsamaB: Please I am sorry you are spreading false narrative on internet The places you mentioned were never under Benin empire at anytime in history And if you think otherwise, please can give references so that I can learn more There is a different between influence and being under an empire |

[quote author=Etrusen post=96758615] Yoruba camp to do what ? Yoruba street is a recent naming just like Lagos street in benin your illusion will not work if you want to talk about camp for war ........ then I will tell you that Yoruba never in history wage a war against another tribe except themselves the only war they wage against another tribe was Oyo against Fulani and they lost [b]That's not true brother....its important to study history before making this type of statement I will correct you here... First of all, the word Yoruba to describe people that have the same origin ( ile-ife) is of recent in history They were simply call Ekiti, Ijebu, Egba, Oyo, Awori etc Secondly, Oyo empire fought more wars than most kingdoms in modern day Nigeria.....and that's what led to their downfall They fought with many other Yoruba groups as you rightly said but also with Fulani, Hausa, Tapa, Ajase ( Yoruba in Benin Republic ) , Dahomey Kingdom ( very powerful kingdom), Nupe etc Please note that Old Oyo empire known as as Oyo ile was in present day Niger state in Nigeria Below extract is from history book - The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire of what is today Benin and Western Nigeria (including Southwest zone and the western half of Northcentral zone). The Oyo Empire grew to become the largest Yoruba state. It rose through the outstanding organizational and administrative skills of the Yoruba people, wealth gained from trade and its powerful cavalry. The Oyo Empire was one of the most politically important states in the entirety of Western Africa from the mid-7th to the late 18th century,[2] holding sway not only over most of the other kingdoms in Yorubaland, but also over nearby African states, notably the Fon Kingdom of Dahomey in the modern Republic of Benin to the west. Reference - Forde, 1967 page 36 Please Note- Benin in the first sentence above is referring to Benin Republic and not Edo[/b] |

Rugaria: Yes that's true but the meeting can be made without appointment ( no fixed time ) And secondly each state government or AG can make the office of the visiting magistrate a place where you can report any police station detaining anybody more than 48hrs without charging to court. And the magistrate can then go and free the person and charge the DPO to court or to be disciplined by a committee set up for that There are ways to stop these nonsense if we are willing. 2 Likes |

Politics / American Hostage Rescued In Northern Nigeria By SEAL Team 6 In Daring Raid by Alaska90(m): 3:11pm On Oct 31, 2020 |
An American hostage has been rescued in West Africa by SEAL Team 6 in a daring raid, Fox News has learned. The elite SEAL Team 6 staged a daring raid in the West African country of Nigeria, rescuing Philip Walton, 27, who had been taken hostage, officials told Fox News. “We had to get him before any potential trade or sale,” one U.S. official said. President Donald Trump tweeted out a show of support, calling the operation a "big win" for the elite force, and promised further details. Walton was kidnapped in Niger, which borders Nigeria, earlier this week. The hostage rescue took place in northern Nigeria earlier today. TRUMP MEETS WITH ARMY UNIT THAT CONDUCTED AL-BAGHDADI RAID, AWARDS CITATION The SEALs rescued Walton after killing a number of his captors. SEAL Team 6 was chosen for the operation because they are responsible for West Africa, Fox News has learned. “U.S. forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of 31 October in Northern Nigeria to recover an American citizen held hostage by a group of armed men," Jonathan Hoffman, chief Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement. "This American citizen is safe and is now in the care of the U.S. Department of State. No U.S military personnel were injured during the operation." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation," Hoffman added. "The United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the world.” https://www.foxnews.com/world/american-hostage-rescued-west-africa-seal-team-6-daring-raid |
