Ki lo kan lemomu pelu itan aja ?

Yes GEJ is gone.

But we must come to reality that APC is the newest scam in town, promising heaven on earth and denying everything thereafter.

If Buhary Ministers will not declare their assets publicly as promised by Gen. Mohamodu Buari during his campaign, then Buary himself is a fraudster.

Unsad:
Mtcheeew. People that cannot even manage a record label nicely being nominated for the management of a state. . Nigeria I hail

TonyeBarcanista:
Nigerians are not impressed by such a show of document publication that may not survive the test of time. We all remember the now infamous Cicilia Ibru and her Oceanic bank. They published every financial reports as mandated by law only to be exposed of documentation falsification.

warrior01:
Hehehe! When the present tariff is much more than the minimum wage, How do they want the workers to survive? With no salaries being paid, no food, blackness gradually enveloping everywhere, deplorable roads, inflation.... Now they want to finally take electricity away from them. how does the APC want the poor masses to even survive? How pathetic. Is this the change they were promised?

TonyeBarcanista:
Often times I wonder the kind of people that dominates our political space. I read in amazement the proposed move by members of the National Assembly to amend the 1999 Constitution(as amended) so as to grant immunity powers to the President of the Senate and the Deputy, the Speaker of the House of Representative and the Deputy, and also the Chief Justice of the Federation. Their argument was simply because the Head and Deputy Head of the Executive arm of government at both the Federal and State levels enjoys such privilege. Let's look at the constitutional provision

The Constitutional Provision:
For any amendment of the Constitution to be valid, Section 9 must be fulfilled upon which the president shall grant his ascent(or veto). According to sections 9(1) and (2) of the Constitution...

9(1) The National Assembly may, subject to the provision of this section, alter any of the provisions of this Constitution.

9(2) An Act of the National Assembly for the altertion of this Constitution, not being an Act to which section 8 of this Constitution applies, shall not be passed in either House of the National Assembly unless the proposal is supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of all the members of that House and approved by resolution of the Houses of Assembly of not less than two-thirds of all the States.

Going by the emboldened, we can SAFELY say that irrespective of the overwhelming support the proposal may have in the NASS, it is still subject to the approval of two-thirds of all 36 States Houses of Assembly. Will the States support the amendment? How long will that take (considering that each States Houses of Assembly may conduct public hearing and seek the views of stakeholders/constituents before arriving at a decision)?

Is The Proposed Immunity Pro-Nigeria or Pro-Corruption?
It is very unfortunate that our federal legislators in their bid to protect some of their own from facing corruption and criminal offences seek to tow this inglorious path. This is even coming at a time when the call for the removal of immunity clause from Vice President, Governors and Deputy Governors is very high. What kind of immunity does the leaders of the parliament need when parliamentarians already enjoy legislative immunity(that is they won't be arrested/prosecuted for whatever they do on the floor of the parliament)? This move is at best anti-Nigeria and pro-corruption. Beside, it is alien to any democracy that parliamentary leaders enjoy immunity from arrest and prosecution. It is unheard of even in the USA that our democracy is modelled from.

It is unfortunate that our parliamentarians have taken such futile exercise as matter of importance instead of legislating on issues that affects the common man. Finally, I wish to assure members of the NASS that their proposed effort to grant their leaders such privilege is futile, unpatriotic and shall be resisted. We are waiting...

For the very first time i agree with you. Wish you can be objective like this all the time.

May God Bless Us All

sdindan:
Buhari + Tinubu Vs Saraki
Oshiomole + Alaibe Vs Sylva
Osibanjo Vs El rufai
Fashola vs Ambode
APC = zero economic directions.
This is high time anybody that voted APC
Need to apologise and ask for forgiveness.

chukwudi44:
Only one thing is certain!!!,we will not be able to see up to the required 73 senators needed to oust Saraki, so we better get ready to have him as Senate President for a very very very long time to come.

chukwudi44:
Even Buhari is guilty of it

phyllosilicate:
I could remember how Okonjo Iweala was shouting how Nigeria was broke, how Nigerians should tighten their belt because of the falling price of crude oil and that Nigeria would borrow to be able to finance the 2015 budget. But in just 3 months almost 60% of the Budget has been generate just from petroleum products alone, not including revenues generated internally and other export.
IF THIS MUCH COULD BE GENERATED WITHIN 3 MONTHS WHEN OIL PRICE IS ABOUT $50 PER BARREL, WHERE WAS OUR MONEY GOING TO WHEN IT WAS $110 PER BARREL?

What is now d work of EFCC and ICPC,my dear Daura?
Why not scrap or merge d 2 agencies wt EFCC instead of duplication.
Very soon U will also be clamping down on traffic offenders and collecting d normal egunje.
Heard this man is another dullard who failed all his exams too but was able to rise to d top due to nepotism.
I smell dictatorship.

ddippset:
of course America knew all the while but whom were they supposed to report to? The president Jonathan? Can you report a thief to a thief?

chukwudi44:
Olodo I am successful in my career. Femi has been in the house since1999 and his highest achievement has been majority leader!!! Too poor. Saraki came to the Senate in 2011 and is now Senate President!! Can you beat that

dearpreye:
It's not hard to know when the kids talk.

owobokiri:
Very free and fair. For instance, almost 3 million votes were cast in Kano with no single void vote! Most of that number dominated by underaged almajiris . . Atleast the dogs and baboons were spared.

chukwudi44:
We should continue to be patient abi? Maybe patient till boko haram wipes off every human in the NE or ND insurgency cripples our economy or maybe when Buhari finishes implementing his 97% and 5 % principle

chukwudi44:
Of course I know more than the dumb police!!!! They would have been in court weeks ago should they think they have a solid case.The facts of the case are all before you.You may chose to verify it or just rant!!! Saraki/Ekweremadu have come to stay

chukwudi44:
Lol what is the difference btw PUNCH and the NATION? If the senate clerk forged the 2015 senate rules can you please show me the original version of the 2015 senate rule before it was forged?

Both the police and the so-called unity forum senators have no case.Making the standing senate rules for the incomming NASS is the perogative of the senate bureacrats led by the clerk.It can however be amended within the life of that senate by 2/3 majority of the senators.The senate rule for any senate can only be in force for the life span of that senate after which it dies.That is why the senate rules are named after each senate 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015

If you want to challenge the powers of the NASS bureacrats to create the standing rules for the incomming senate simply go to court!!!! All this talks of forgery and alteration between the 2007 standing rule(which died with the 6th senate) and the new standing rule 2015 for the 8th senate is just laughable

Seriously technology has done lotta harm to couples these days

babajero:
He didn't betray GEJ, he did what he have to in order to be alive. People who voted buhari will one day die of heart attack for the wrong they did in voting him.
