Shouldn't this be in romance section?

MsZeezah:
Racist on top say dem bring news wey concern Igbos come front page? SMH if it's a Yoruba guy who was named, your people with have already started the chants of "Southwest", and calling all Yorubas all manner of unprintable names even cursing out our fathers and mother.

How many times have threads concerning Yorubas doing bad things hit the front page? Uncountable. Do you hear any Yorubas come on that thread and cry racism? No. We do not hide behind one finger and try to act like those disgraceful acts never happened. Never be biased and say the truth as it is.... But what am I even saying? Playing victim is y'alls best skills.

I am not tribalistic but I just hate when people do not call a spade a spade and try to act like they are the victims while they are also guilty of the same crime.

No mine am. Nairaland is detribalized. Mr. Nairaland no be lbo boy?

Please quote the section and I will explain. As for anger, why should I be getting angry when people that are younger than me are making money? Anger is for foolish people.

Very good, OP.

Read this:

I strongly believe your interpretation of the constitution is misguiding and erroneous. The spirit of the law can be seen to promote loyalty to the Nigerian state and Nationalism. Hence, any interpretation as pertaining to Citizenship must be interpreted in the same light without guile or mischief. To appreciate the legal loopholes and potholes in the instant case, it is most appropriate to review the situation in different scenarios. As it is there are still pieces of information unknown to most people. And one crucial piece of information is his place of birth.

Abubakar Bukola Saraki was born on 19 December 1962 to the family of Olusola Saraki, a one time Senate Leader (1979 – 1983) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a citizen of Nigeria by birth. Sec 28, says that a person who willingly takes up citizenship of another country other than his citizenship of birth losses his Nigerian citizenship. Hence, if you are British and you acquire a Nigerian citizenship, you can keep both, but the minute you take up an American citizenship, you loose your Nigerian citizenship. Nigerians by birth cannot loose their Citizenship except they denounce it. Our constitution recognizes dual Citizenships! Please note that Sec. 28 refers strictly only to Citizenship. It is important to note that the Constitution seeks to establish Nationalism and the Nigerian Identity, essentially, loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria is paramount.

Now to the matter at hand, Sec. 66. (1) No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if:
(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, has made a declaration of allegiance to such a country; 

It is important to note that this section deals with qualification to the Senate and not Citizenship. It states that its position on Citizenship are subject to the guideline in Sec 28 to create uniformity in the interpretation of the law. But nonetheless, where a Nigerian, by birth or naturalization WILLINGLY takes up Citizenship in another country, such person is NOT QUALIFIED to be elected into the Senate or House of Representative. Thus, Dr. Olubukola Saraki is not qualified to be in the Senate. It does not state that the person ceases to be a citizen, just clearly says you lack qualification. A simple remedy would be for Saraki to denouce his UK citizenship, but will he? He probably renewed that passport so the UK can be a safe haven if there is a witch-hunt. But I will leave that to the conspiracy theorists!! 

Please note that if he was born in the UK, then he qualifies, because then, he can't be adjudged as taking up the nationality of another country willing.

Thank You!

DANDONdGreat:
Pls my people pardon if I wronged you or may wrong u through my comment.

Let me first and foremost tell u that I'm not saraki supporter. In fact as matter of fact I never wished for hin to be a senate president going through his previous actions in different public offices that he has been. And his case with EFCC.

But I see all these argument as nonsense, unnecessary, waste of time, waste of energy, envy, jealousy, political bitterness, joblessness, stupidity in the highest order, distraction, etc.

For crying out loud. This is a man that was a governor in this country for eight good years (complete 2nd tenure). And a senator for almost 4 years. All in this same country and under the same constitution.

In all these different potistiions and public offices that he had atteded and still attends noone has found has in any way or form finds him not qualified to attend them as result of citizen disqualitication.

So why is it now that he became a senate president against the will/wish of the ruling party (his party) that all these nonsense are coming

For christ sake this is not the type of change that you promised us (Nigerians) during the election.

Remember that guy who was speaker untill it was discovered he was under age and he was kicked out of the National assembly?

Well nig and world politics are full of such examples. Just because u got away with something for a long time...

frisky2good:
Start a thread, explain all the sections I quoted and come back and mention me with a link attached. If you are too lazy to do that then you are in no position to counter my argument. If someone says interpretes something, you either accept it or give your own interpretation not tell the person to interprete again.

Please I'm sorry for replying you. I just saw that you refered to sections of the constitution as "passages".

OP, please don't be too angry, but he is right. Read the last part of your post again.

NovusHomo:
Not so fast sir. He is a citizen of Nigeria but he is not qualified to be a member of the National Assembly. See italics.

Exactly! It is right there in black and white. I thought I was seeing things. IT IS RIGHT THERE!!

(BTW i dont support APC)

icebebe:
Omg! And yet pple wnt jus learn n stop taking weed.


Weed kills,it destroys d whole system,making u a shadow of ur orginal being.




Jesss... d man was really cute den

Bullshit. This is from hard drugs like crack and meth, not weed. You obviously know nothing about weed

Pluslargent:
The poll am refering to sir is based on the post on this thread, and am very sure bello hasnt even raked up 1/3 of votes banks has...as far as the post on this thread is concerned.

U r ridiculous. Read the op. The competition is to see who gets the most likes. Most people don't post, they just hit like. Most people are not even members of nairaland. I love Rbanks too. But the fact is he has 200 plus While kodere has 500 plus.

cocokiller1:
lol
y evulz

Notoriousbabe, u r the one that has mouth and body ordor. Stop insulting people and stop spreading false rumors before u get banned. Kapish?

This is an ad. I'll put up my own ad!

This belongs in Romance section

Comes with practice. You can't do it by reading how-to's.

What's all this manliness/manhood stuff. What is manliness??

Tell her to join nairaland and ask the question herself.

You really can't blame the women. Neither can u blame the men. Blame the situation.
How can u expose her to American system and still expect her to act like someone in Naija.
The man on the hand rightly expects that they should maintain their traditional Nigerian family ways.

This is hypothetical.

Your wife whom u love madly secretly likes women too.
You are in your 40's, she is in her 30's. No kids.

A friend girl of mine has been pestering me for advice and I don't know what to tell her. Could you folks help out.

Her husband secretly likes men too. She loves him dearly. They are both in their 30's. They have no kids.

Guy can't spell. It's spelt lying. Kapish?

I look a lot like that guy that won Mr nairaland... what's his name again..

Just a reminder, homosexuality is punishable by 14 years imprisonment in Nigeria.

Wait

A yoruba (or maybe lbo or hausa)... dunno.

Frankay, what's the source of this news?
