the confirmation process was porous. I personally watched part of the proceedings. for instance, one Ms Kemi was merely talking vaguely on how jobs will be created but didn't tell the Senate 'how' those jobs will be created! I safely assume that politicking behind the scene had over-ridden thorough screening of the nominees. Amaechi who is grossly controversial maybe confirmed tomorrow as well. hmmmmm

I am alarmed at the way the Red Chamber of the National Assembly poorly approved (as if it were a child's play) all the ministerial nominees screened so far.

#scholarIGWE Of all d 21 ministerial nominees of Mr President, how many of dem are youths? How many of dem are new faces dat we've neva known before in politics? How many of dem have neva served in one capacity or d other in d history of Nigeria? In fact, how many of them are less dan 40? Wen will d tym of d youths come

bayooooooo:
Nigerians are adept at creating confusion where is none.

1. It's expressly stated in the constitution that CCT has jurisdiction to try politicians or public servants for these sorts of offences. Therefore, you can't get an order to prevent you from being charged for an offence at CCT. What you can do is raise preliminary objection when charged. You can accuse the judge of being bias and ask him to recuse himself or even challenge the competence of the court to hear your case.

2.Agbakoba is just blowing hot hair. These are the relevant sections of 1999 constitution:

Fifth Schedule Part I section 18, subsection(4):


Section 240 of 1999 constitution:


An appeal from CCT lies to the Court of Appeal, not the High Court of a State or the Federal High Court. This is different from customary court where an appeal can lie to the High court. Since an appeal from both the CCT and the High Court (federal or otherwise) lies to the Court of Appeal, it follows that both CCT and High court are courts of coordinate jurisdiction on the specific issues that pertain to asset declaration. You need Court of Appeal, not High Court, to restrain CCT or overturn its verdict. There is nowhere it is written in the constitution that a High Court can overturn the verdict of CCT. So how can a court order from a high court restrain CCT? It's just like saying an Abuja high court has restrained a Calabar high court from taking a case, it doesn't make sense.

3.The charges against Saraki are weighty and criminal in nature. His actions are those of a man willing to use the courts to delay the wheel of justice. If he is truly innocent, he should submit himself to trial and present evidence to debunk or refute all allegations against him. It just doesn't make sense for him to say he should not be tried. It would make more sense for him to challenge the prosecution to prove its case. The onus is on the prosecution to prove its case, so why is he afraid?

4.Except he is sparkling clean, I don't see how he can come out of this unruffled. Even if he can somehow miraculously prove he owns all the assets legitimately, there is still another dimension of scrutinizing if he paid adequate taxes.

Make we dey observe.

. Federal High Court has no appelate jurisdiction BUT it is imperative to say dat FHC is a superior court to CCT. Tribunals are called miscellaneous courts. The latter is an inferior court relative to d former.

Punishment is meant to correct not to destroy. D essence of correcting and reintegrating looters will be lost if life is snuffed out them. Jailing and seizing d stolen properties and money with d profit accrued is a civilized and more effective measure. Death penalty is a destructive measure, jailing looters is a corrective measure. China has d death penalty for corrupt ppl and drug peddlers but dat has not deterred individuals from being corrupt and neither has drug-trafficking become a thing of d past in China. Let us support long jail terms and dissuade death sentence cos d former is a corrective measure, whereas d later is a destructive measure. #peace

Former governor of Akwa-Ibom, commissioned a 308-'world-class' hospital be4handing ova but today he is receiving treatment for a minor injury abroad. If I may ask, y did Akpabio go4treatment abroad given d fact dat he commissioned a World-Class hospital in Nigeria?

1. Currently, which states of d federation is service more rewarding (financially, socially&employment wise)? 2. Who determines PPA posting? Can it be influenced? I look forward to apposite responses. HAPPY NEW WEEK

I served with the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency office in one of the SS states, MY GOD!! At some point I had to ask what they actually did?! My boss came to work by 11am and signs the timesheet as 7:30 am, And he would leave for lunch at 12 and not return till same time next day,

As much as I was paid, I felt useless as I am not a lazy person, I ended up going to work 3 times in a month, cos nobody cared.

510 days after the young girls where kidnapped in Chibok town, Senator Sani insists dat these girls are alive and will be rescued. Do you share in his opinion? It is imperative to remind keen observers dat Buhari promised to rescue d girls using Federal Might if elected into office.

@BABADEM, u don't expect these monsters to allow journalists take their photographs. A credible way to determine if dis news is true or not is by visiting MAJIDUN community in Ikorodu and conduct ur research. Additionally, ask residents of dat community to show u d house of d woman whose husband was killed by a bus as he ran away from d naval personnel who gave him a hot chase wen he challenged one of dem who was raping his wife in broad day light!

#PDP Metuh, spokesman for d major opposition party, said during the party's 17th Anniversary dat one of d laudable achievements of d party in its 16 year rule is the making of billionaires like Dangote, Ayiri and others. D question I would like to ask Metuh is what did his party make of Nigerians in terms of d quality of d Standard of Living in d past 16 years?

#AyoolaIgwe The attention of well meaning Nigerians is hereby drawn to d sacrilege (rape, murder, torture) committed by Naval personnels in #Majidun in Ikorodu, Lagos. The Ministry of Defence and d Presidency especially d President, Buhari should deal with this matter decisively and prosecute ALL d Naval personnels involved and their commanders. #PlsShare

APC-controlled SSS initially said dey discovered arms, now dey said its dollars. Y are dey confused as to wot dey saw if indeed dey saw something? Two, dis matter is not about wot u say but about wot u can proof, y is there no picture evidence of wot dey actually saw? Three, Y has Daura not addressed d press? Legitimate questions begging for answers
