• All federal representatives pay raises take place after the next term. This means they need to specify what they currently making.

I'd also like the NYSC repealed.

Lol these guys don't learn their lessons. It's a good thing thing these clowns are impotent. I doubt these guys have the numbers to override any veto.

Lol you guys are looking for a grant or what? The UN is not going to tell you that you don't already know. You already know most of your inmates are awaiting trial. That means the bail conditions are either too stiff or the court process is too slow. The federal government can set up bail schedules for crimes. Lastly give time served to prisoners if the accept a guilty plea.

After 2025 the federal government should stop accepting inmates guilty of violating state laws. States should be building their own jails just like the do their own court houses.

“Any controller caught taking money from a big man to lock up a poor man without a detention warrant will be expelled from the service

On top of banning them from the Civil service they should spend time in prison. A good 5 years will scare these idiots straight. The risk to reward needs to deter then.

I couldn't tell you. Why not ask the NBS to release crime stats 🤔. The trash the released before can be greatly improved by formatting it correctly.

grandstar:
I support the full scale dollarization of the economy. The dollar should be adopted a s the country's currency.

This will ensure it can no longer print its way out its problem. It will have no choice but to embark on painful reforms like Greece was.

Adopting another country's currency has its drawback if reforms are not carried out as quickly and as deeply as possible.

I don't think it will be a big deal.for them to dollarize their economy. It's worked well for Panama. The obvious issues is they have no control over their monetary policy. In a raising rates environment their exports will be more expensive. I agree with you on this issue.

Age is just number. Jail is just a room.

He shouldn't concern himself with the opinions of unproductive losers whether they're you're friends, family or strangers. You're only responsibility is to yourself and your minor children. If you want to give past that it's out of your abundance, generosity, and being neighborly. The only thing a person is entitled to is the productivity of their own hands by right.

Jking20:
That's s is misleading

I don't think so. It's not clear to me if the Governor has to act on the state assemblies recommendation.

FreeStuffsNG:
for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct;
Please go and read about the body that the constitution empowers to investigate and recommend disciplinary action against a Judge. It is the NJC and not the State House of Assembly. The NJC is the disciplinary body for Judges

Cite the law or constitution it or you're lying like last time. The state assembly is constitutionally empowered to investigate and remove judges.

“Having received various petitions against the Chief Judge of Osun State bothering on gross misconducts, abuse of office, corruption and lack of respect for due process and rule of law, this Honourable House, in performance of its oversight functions and exercise of its investigative powers vested by the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) hereby resolved as follows:

Lol does anyone bother reading the law before commenting.

(1) A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances -

(ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State,

Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct;

(b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct.

Politicstoday:
It’s only NJC that can suspend a chief judge of the State. Is this not a battle between executive and judiciary here. And the legislature arm of government in the State is much compromised too.

FreeStuffsNG:
He can not suspend a Chief Judge. Only NJC can. This was how problem started in some states leading to serious issues. I think Cross Rivers was one of such states.

firearcher:
Hmm. Is this constitutional and legal? What happens to separation of power?

Moony45:
This is illegal

crossfm:
The most painful thing to me is the misinformation and deceit during our government classes. They told us we have three arms of government.
What we have is a single arm of government in Nigeria. The executive have the absolute power in Nigeria.

daylae:
Governor suspend chief judge. . Nigeria and it's many anomalies. He's about to heat up the polity.

Moferere:
This is what you get when you appoint illiterate as Governor

BadBradley:
or governor to suspend a Judge or Chief judge.

I have respected the west in their democratic disposition but this is embarrassing.

NwaliE01:
You're absolutely right. I don't know why the executive government cannot maintain their lane. They don't know that other arms of the government have autonomy as much as they do.. The executives want to be the legislative, and judiciary at the same time. This is why we have chaos everywhere today.

hansomb:
why is everything Africa, to be specific Black African countries different? Infact all blacks countries like Haiti, Jamaica. Sé àn síwín ní àbí àn sérè ní ? Or are we just born to adapt to the Jungle way of life ( lawlessness and food chains lifestyle).

You get what you pay for the most part.

bjnorl:
Why do politicians earn exorbitant salaries? Only because they rule a country deserve earn exorbitant salaries. When did this tradition start?

They vote themselves money 💰. Similar activities used to happen in the United States until a constitutional amendment was made. When information on their salaries and allowances aren't public record they can run wild. If they had to wait to collect after an election year I bet they would quit their antics. Their American counter parts simply refused their salary increases since 2009.

SOSinNigeria:
SDP candidate was Igala.
APC candidate was Ebira.
PDP candidate was Okun/Yoruba.

Yet the contest was between SDP Igala and APC Ebira. Why are the Okuns maltreated in Kogi state?

You're allowed to compete you're not guaranteed to win. The people will vote who ever they please. If you think it's because they hate them what do you want to do about it?

Look at your favorite sports league and as your self has every team won and if they all won an equal number of times. I don't see why you guys expect it equality in competitive ventures when you don't see it play out anywhere else in life.

Lol if I have I'm saving that money if I were them. Buy some guns and go to war. After a few of them die watch how the police and military will suddenly be there.

The Commission he said was shocked to find out that most banks in the country lure state governments into securing loans that

Lol personal and fiscal responsibility isn't in their vocabulary. It's the banks fault they're taking loans. The word no doesn't exist.

Democracy lends itself to short term thinking. It's not like it's their money. Most of these politicians will be long gone by the time the bill is due. It's much easier than looking at your constituency and saying we're going to tax you more and have nothing to show for it.

opamoses1:
Good. They can make use of private security companies. That's the standard world wide.

When they allow private security guards to be armed that will be the standard. The government could be making alot of money on this like they do in South Africa.

Racoon:
So sad! So many of them abound across this nation. I met a PHD holder driving UBER the other day.

What did he earn his degree in? I'm sure that would explain alot.

Lol It will be time and money spent if he wants to replace these documents. Hopefully he felt great after burning these items.

ashewoboy:
Would You Leave A #250,000 Job In A Private Company For A Federal Government Job of 100,000 naira?


Let's know why if yes or no.

No, that would be dumb. Assuming there's upward mobility at your job, there's more money to be made long term. Even if there isn't if you're tired of the job, you could quit after finding a better position. A savy person would save and invest their money. The compounding effect of your money works better when you're earning and saving more. You can take whatever skills you learn at work into your own business later.

NaijaMutant:
You really underestimate the level of hunger in the land.

You also underestimate the masses willingness to do anything for survival

OK so where the demand for these organs coming from? Organ sales have been legal in Iran for decades yet you don't see an international market for it. The foolish Ekeremadu's had their opportunity to do it in Iran legally but instead decided to go to UK ultimately going to prison.

grandstar:
He said the truth but if these lawmakers aren't given their SUV's, they'll make governance hell for Tinubu. That is the fact

Lol they'll override his veto in a heartbeat. If they decide not to they're cutting presidential excesses.

KosiGee:
You are too old for this game, sir.

Rossikki, Rosimkol

He is not interested in arguing with actual linguistic professors at a university. My mothers friend was a linguistic professor, so I know there's plenty of people who would be interested to hear his arguments. The truth is that he's sensitive to the slightest criticism and doesn't have the means to defend his position.

Publish your finding at your local university. If you can prove there's a linguistic link have your work published.

NaijaMutant:
Do you think that Nigeria could become a kidney sales hub in the world?

Nope because Iran hasn't become a hub. Organ aren't compatible with everyone. I don't think people like the idea of buy organs on that level.

Lol the people arguing on this thread don't send their kids to public school. Just ask them.

Lol, he's talking tough until the army meets him in the Governor mansion. Please Mr. Governor, do it now. I want want to watch the spectacle in 4k.

Nigerian culture has become so lame when everyone wants to whine they're a marginalized victim. Lol, what constitutional argument is he going to take to the Supreme Court. Why is he asking for oil profits instead of profits from the hydro power?

RepoMan007:
Compare the cost of those crops in Côte d' voire to ours and see if we still have a competitive edge in yam and cassava production. Being worlds largest producer doesn't translate to having a competitive advantage in something. Yams are far cheaper in ivory coast. It is like saying Nigeria is an economic giant because of GDP size but ignoring per capita poverty indices that exposes low living standard.

What do you think competitive advantage means? Nigeria not only produces the most it has highest production per hectare. The cost is affected by things other than it's supply. This is why Nigeria isn't a huge exporter despite it huge production.

RepoMan007:
Depending how you interpret the phrase, competitive advantage, I don't thing you understood my post. I am aware Egypt is averaging 10 tonnes. My point is what other crop can Nigerians cultivate better than rice that is key staple food?
I throw the challenge to you openly. The moniker you supporting, that's mouthing competitive advantage, couldnt provide any other crops we have competitive advantage in.

Yams and cassava are staple foods Nigeria has a competitive advantage in production. Nigeria is the world's largest yam producer. The country lacks on the export side because transportation and storage requirements.

grandstar:
Stop telling people to go back to the farms. It is archaic.

Look at what these tiny nations are accomplishing

Israel's with 9.5 million people: exports $188bn imports: $108bn
Switzerland 8.63 million people: Exports $488bn Imports: 291bn
Netherlands: 17.5million people: Exports: 719bn Imports: $454bn

If Nigeria wanted, we can produce enough rice to feed the globe but lack comparative advantage.

That is why there's practically a ban on the importation of the product. Nigerians are now compelled to pay more for rice than they should otherwise do because locally produced rice is costly.

Sheabutter, sesame seed, cocoa, cashew nuts and so on. Please note that a country having comparative advantage in one product today does mean you can't lose it tomorrow.

For instance, many enterprises that used to purchase products from China are now buying it from other countries due to rising labor costs in China that have forced an increase in the price of Chinese made goods.

He admitted Nigeria doesn't have the competitive advantage without noticing. Other countries get much better yields. Getting 2 tons per hectare is very low. The most productive countries get 10 tons per hectare. The average should be around 5.
