Baba go rest and enjoy your old age....
You're not in touch with the modern world.

PresidObi:
I stand with Hon. Kennedy Peretei, it's not about how many tenures, it's about electing people with good records that can solve problems, not create more with their controversial past and dirty dealings of the past.

That is why Peter Obi would have used a single term to cleanse Nigeria because he doesn't have any baggage of criminality dragging him down.

Enemies of a prosperous Nigeria shouldn't bother to quote me.

Pandora's box is what.
A man who used States' funds to put into family business. Every politician has a dirty under wear, it's just that some are more dirty than others. PO is not a saint.
The only notable investment he did with State funds is to open a brewery industry whose value at this moment is nothing to talk about.
Do you know how much that investment would have been of worth now if he had even put it in harnessing the mineral resources in the land.

pongwa:
both of them should settle in the old way.

The old ways.....
Ride on your horse with your sword and spear and strike down your adversary.
They can choose a fight to the death or whoever strikes the first blood, or whoever gets the other to fall on both knees or on his back.
The old ways is always better and honourable for those who chose the way of honour.

ATLANTIC01:
Some years ago, a 300L “Born Again” student of UNILORIN withdraw his admission because his WAEC was obtained with exam malpractice. So he withdrew his admission so that he could correct his foundation.

Your opinion?

It is called restitution.
As a born again believer, if you're been led by the Holy Spirit to do such then it's good.
There are those who preach such as a doctrine, but I'll say there's a way one would go about it and it would be an act of making himself to be self righteous. How it became some form of doctrine I can't say.
Such restitution is much only in this pattern but you'll hardly see those who became rich/wealthy returning such to the less privileged or motherless babies home.
God does not accept ill-gotten riches/wealth as any form of sacrifice.

First the health care facilities in the country is hogwash. The FG and SG have refused to pay a living wage and you want these doctors to salvage the country that's been rundown continuously by you the political elites.
If your colleague Ekweremandu had salvage the country he would not be in prison in UK for a medical operation that would have been done in Nigeria.

Now, the governor knows he is the chief security officer of the state because of his carelessness and show of force to dethroning an Emir.......certainly he did not see all these coming.....na for dethronement him want become chief security officer of the state.
When bandits, bokoharam, Fulani herdsmen, kidnapping,etc,etc activities goes haywire in the state, they will start shouting Mr. President is the chief security officer and is the one who controls the security agencies.
So now you want the commissioner of police a federal officer, to seek your consent on how to go about his legitimate business!!!!

We all see why politics shouldn't be done with sanctimonious sentiments and bitterness against anyone because once the table turns, you who thinks have the upper hand would be the one crying.
Kano State Government in this administration is making a mockery of themselves and the traditional institutions.
It's high time, the true hausas of the land rise up to the occasion and set themselves free from their fulani masters.

NeckingNgulping:
You're making a lot of sense bro. If these things can be done, then we will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cost of governance will be massively cut and resources will be well utilized.

I can't trust this government one bit. The talks about regionalism could be a sham, kind of like it's being used to distract people from their incompetency.

It is definitely a sham and a diversionary tactic to give the populace something to tit about while the elites do what they know how to do behind the shadows.
Regionalism can't be agreed upon by one man or even the National Assembly.
I just wonder why did PGEJ not execute the confab report after it was submitted to him!!!
Of he had done that we would probably be calling for minor amendments and upgrade.
The SW has some tricks up their sleeves and PBAT has some hidden beneath his cap.
It's a pity the man who needs the government to bow to him is the one bowing to the whimps of the government.

https://punchng.com/minimum-wage-nassembly-may-propose-seizing-defaulting-states-lgs-allocations/?amp

This whole minimum wage, the FG and National Assembly are making it look like they are doing NLC a favour and by the look of it, the President will come out with a blackmail minimum wage amount and NA will pass it and make it look like NLC is the one going against the constitution of the land.
This PBAT administration is very very short sighted in all their approach. They have no idea of how to run an economy to be up and well.

NeckingNgulping:
The only solution is disintegration. I see they are talking about regionalism. That's a good one if they can make it happen.

Truth be told the type of regionalism they are talking about is a deceptive one and only fools, myopic imbeciles will agree to such integration.
Imagine being in such marriage with someone who looks down on you and sees himself as your superior to conquer you. One who doesn't bring anything useful to the table but wants to make critical decisions for others to adhere and abide to.

Let there be 7 States within each zone and let them be granted full autonomy and full 95% resource control. The FCT should also be regarded as a State in its own unique nature.
The LGA should be fully made a solid tier of government with core mandate and responsibilities. More LGA be created and also RCDA/LCDA as cluster/development areas can be created in smaller units to fasten enhancement of critical development infrastructure.
States within same geographic location or even far who share the same economic idealogy and otherwise can come together under some form of partnership arrangements and do their things and share revenue.
Power should be decentralized.
The NPF should be changed to Federal Police Force, the EFCC/ICPC should become one entity.
Nigerian Customs/Immigration/NSCDC should become one entity.
FRSC/Traffic Police/VIO should be one entity.
Mobile Police/JTF/CTU should become one entity.
Theres no need for 2 federal houses. We should just have 1, and let it be HOR.
States shouid have their own structure that is a replica of the Federal.
Ministers should be only the number of total States in the country. No need for minister of States.

The northerners turned a blind eye when their brother was in charge of one of the worst administrations on earth. They have now suddenly found their voices. I know they would have started a huge protest if not for the fact that they know they'd be seen as hypocrites, because they didn't try it when Buhari was effortlessly destroying the economy.

But then, that's not enough reason to not criticize Tinubu as a southerner. He said "he would take over from where Buhari stopped," it's obvious he's towing that path.

We might witness another failed 8yrs if we keep quiet because Tinubu is our brother.

PBAT saying he would continue where PMB stopped does not literally mean bad economy eventually.
Let's just say it may go both ways, only let him not be indifferent to the plight of the common man.

If this Fulani man could say such then I know there is change coming. This is the one who is supposed to be the President of the Fulani's herdmen not that one that's there.

NeckingNgulping:
The blind supporters of failure, is the post saying the truth?

They are saying the truth obviously.
But has the North also not contributed to this failure of democracy dividends not enjoyed by the populace?

Or they just want to talk because the President is from the South West.
A Northern just completed 8 years and what did they say about it?

BeeBeeOoh:
https://leadership.ng/after-25-years-nigerians-yet-to-enjoy-dividends-of-democracy-northern-groups/

This same Northern group that kept quiet when PMB was still in Aso Villa? The North has no business speaking for Nigeria, let them speak for the North and tell us why despite the placement of Northerners(Muslims predominantly and few sanctimonious Christians) in highly exalted positions be it by election and appointments from 1999 till the end of PMBs administration, the North still remains a region without any form of reasonable development compass be it in human capital development, infrastructure, the Almajiri is still practiced, etc, etc. The North basically remains a place that looks developed but the ideas, minds and thoughts of the people is still in the stone age.

Imagine an irresponsible government and institution lifting ban on sachet alcoholic beverages with the excuse that the economy is strained and it will be enforced when normalcy returns.
Bunch of educated illiterate full of deception.
Thats the reason PBAT says the FG will pay what they can sustain and let everyone cut their coat according to their size of they even have size. I guess the sachet is the size the poverty minimum wage can buy.

adanny01:
You are only repeating what I said, Sanusi"s case has already taken care of his rights. When Ganduje dethroned Sanusi, he outrightly banished him from Kano. This is not the case, Bayero and the 4 others were not banished but they left on their own. The where all instructed to leave the palace (state government property) along with any other state property they held as Emirs. Others knew the tradition and follow it. Bayero knows the tradition but was convinced or coarse by Ganduje and cronies to return to created a well orchestrated plan to destabilise the system. Bayero is complicit since he knows the right thing to be done but followed a political scheme.

Note please, Nasarrawa mini palace is state government property.

Let me tell you, the case of his rights is a facade. His arrest was called by the SG after he settled in state government property without authorisation and pronounced himself Emir after he was dethroned. His rights to doesn't exist if the substantive law says otherwise. That means he broke the law and it's only right for SG to call for his arrest.

Ask yourself this question, why didn't the SG call for arrest of other Emirs?

The SG would not call for the arrest of the other Emirs because they are just pawns in the political scene. The SG wanted Ado out of the picture and they achieved that when he was out of the State. Probably they feel that's the only way to not have serious issues and threat to life if he were in Kano.
Just the same way Buhari was ousted by way of coup when he was outside the country.
Since it's a facade let it stand till the proceedings are concluded in a competent court of jurisdiction.
Everything happening now is for a reason. There's no such thing as coincidence.

greggng:
It is not within there right ...is just a delay tactics effort aimed at perpetrating injustice. Can the federal.high Court interfer in a chieftaincy matter ...the answer is no...so what's the essence of approach such court instead of approach a court that has jurisdiction over such matter . Are you not sensing Inpunity? Anyways let's see what the court says ...

The bolded is what we all await.
Winner takes it all.

greggng:
The foundation of every case is jurisdiction. If you run to a court that doesn't have jurisdiction on a matter ...what are you doing ? You are wasting valuable time ... we should learn to respect the law...The bayero man ran to federal High Court knowing fully well that only the state high court had juudiction on chieftaincy matters ...is nt that lawlessness? ..The state high court has made its ruling...You are not wiser than those that made that law . Allowing this to happen is lawlessness.

We are all aware of the application the dethroned Emir took to the Federal High Court and it's well within the rights of the FHC to entertain such.

IfnobeGod20:
After the court had nullified the self law made by the 27 recalcitrant lawmakers. The law they made wasn't in consonant with the constitution. The constitution of Nigeria recognizes 3 years as tenure of LGA chairman. Any law not in consonant with that is null and void and the lower court had already voided that.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/05/breaking-court-voids-tenure-extension-for-rivers-lga-chairmen/&ved=2ahUKEwj_2sS-ztuGAxUcUUEAHc99C7AQFnoECBEQBQ&usg=AOvVaw3S8a7zYI0RQDDg5M_OWAPw

Except for your digest:
"A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has voided the tenure extension for local government chairmen in the state. This was as the court declared Local Government Law No. 2 of 2024, which extended the tenure of local government chairmen by 6 months after expiration of their tenure, invalid".

Nigeria is not a banana republic. No state law can handicap the Nigerian law. Please get that into your skull. Even if they appeal it, they will still meet their Waterloo till supreme court because the Nigerian constitution will still be superior to their self made law.

Desist from petty sentiments even when you quote the constitution.
Give these some thought and consideration.

While it may be said that no State law can carpet a Federal law, also be reminded that Caretaker Chairmen is unconstitutional and likewise there is no amount of excuse for it to stand whatsoever the duration and therefore can't override the same Federal law he quoted.

Now, when you say no State law can carpet a Federal law, howbeit that the Islamic law which is both a State and Religious law has always carpeted the Federal law and none has spoken against it!!!

So why the abnormality?

TheElites19s:
Yes, for now still the court sit next week

Interesting though.
Let's see what's happens on the 18th as their actual tenure ends and see what Gov.SIM will do with the security agencies at his disposal.

greggng:
What happens when he refuses to vacate the throne?

The law will be enforced.
Many are angry because the Ado who was dethroned is not keeping quiet and has taken the case to court.
So as it is now, let the court do their part and whatever justice that comes out of it will be enforced and I'm sure no one will want to stand against such judgement.

TheElites19s:
What the court meant is that Martins Amaewhule is still the speaker pending still next week when the court will give the final judgement

Appeal Court as replied on the ruling of State high Court that gave judgement some days ago

"The Court of Appeal however refused to grant the prayer for stay of execution and setting aside the interim order of the Lower Court as there is a presumption of correctness of an order of a Court. It held that granting same would be tantamount to determining the appeal at this stage. The Court went on to order that the present status quo should be maintained pending the hearing of the Appeal"

If your interpretation of that which the Appeal Court pronounced is in order, does that mean all the bills passed by Martins Amaewhuleas Speaker still stands and the other person standing as same is illegitimate given this ruling till June 20th when the actual judgement will be given.

Now if you say Martins Amaewhule remains the Speaker Status Quo that also means the incumbent LGC chairmen will remain in office according to the law passed by Speaker Martins Amaewhule?

greggng:
You have lost touch with reality and I doubt if you know anything about the traditional culture if kano. You need to be schooled in the traditional culture of kano. When an emir is dethrone ..he goes into exile . Sanusi demonstrated all this.. Everyone knows how Sanusi left the state with the help of his friend wike who is dead now . The governor is doing everything right while people like you without the knowledge if how dethroned of emir is done are causing problems in kano.

He does not go into exile based on self except he chooses to if where was provided for him does not fit him.
Maybe you need to go back in time and read. Sanusi 1 and Sanusi 2 were banished to a specific State, LGA, town, community. Its in the history books with some personal staffs.
Such was done in the case of Ado.

adanny01:
I am not a lawyer and do not know the traditional laws in-depth. However, I know that tradionally every deposed Emir is banished to a certain land. Emir Sanusi was banished, however, he went to court and got a judgement that allowed him move freely as a right of every Nigerian at this time and age.

It's a good thing the Kano government didn't banish him or the other Emirs knowing that a precedence has been set.

What Bayero did is return to Kano which is his right, but going to a palace that officially belongs to the government and then say you are still the Emir, that's even disrespect to the tradition that has given him the highest stool he sat on.

Personally, I am of the opinion Bayero threw all the respect he had as an Emir. He has publicly incited crisis, apart from living in a property that belongs to the state that gave you 48hrs to leave. Even if he eventually wins the battle, he doesn't have the character of a revered Emir and has lost reverence.

Sanusi left and still has respect despite all the dark things he has in his cupboard.

The arrest was ordered when Bayero went to the mini palace and declared he is still Emir.

His dethroning is also banishing him because he was out of Kano for a function and the SG within it's powers ensured he did not return to Kano.
Till date, the SG did not make mention of any place where he would relocate to which is out of place considering those who were dethroned before him.
So where do you expect him to put his bed?
So if his character is now tarnished because he chose a smaller palace to reside within Kano in the town/village called Nassarawa then so be it. The case he took to the court is not even about the stool but his rights been taken away from him.

Blitzking:
Political office holders should be paid per hour

Yeah and we'll be the one to fix the figure by the hour. so they see how it is.

sulaak:
How much loot has been recovered ...Falana is always short on details.

Nigeria needs to prioritise infrastructure, especially electricity, road and railway.

That's basically what they have been doing and giving priority the way they deem fit.
Other than that there's absolutely nothing the government offers the people.

Blitzking:
It should be across board

So it's better the government at all levels do the right thing instead of making the man at the bottom who receives a meagre wage like he is completely nothing.

All the people ask is a wage that is commiserate with the realities of the economic conditions on ground initiated by the FG arising to such ripple effects.

Nigeria is not like the UK or USA where one is paid by the hour cause if that be so many persons would do multiple jobs and earn the corresponding wage for such work.

Blitzking:
Not sensible..you can't pay minimum wage with a money that is fixed minimum wage should be paid based on productivity...not just money sharing..an organisation generating 2 billion per month can't be paying 5 billion naira per month even though na govt own the company.if its to downsize do it. Enough of wastages..

What is the productivity of the legislooters?
What is the productivity of the president?
What is the productivity of the governors?
