Ubani used to be Buhari's number one fan. I guess he got angry when EFCC detained him and Buhari failed to intervene

No, he is just saying EXACTLY what the constitution says

respect80:
Too many lacuna in our constitution.

If the constitution is not critically reviewed and and amendments made in such a way that we won't be deceiving ourselves, then there's very less we can do to end the mass enslavement by the political class.

To put it short, fixing the lacuna and miscues in our constitution is sine qua non for the better 9ja we crave for.

Well said, but who will bell the cat. Would u be eager to fix the constitution if it favors u?

Monogamy:
I did.. May be you should slowly

21 days is how long NA has to wait before mandating VP to take over. PMB always handed over as he should.
He only started playing games when the “war” started

Monogamy:
Both old and young people from East reasons same way..

Buhari's trip to UK is just for 2 weeks ( 14 days) The constitutions mandated he must hand over if he will be unavailable for 21 days.

This people should stop whinning around jor

Did u read what Ubani said at all? READ THE ARTICLE. The 21 days applies to NA not him. That’s how long they have to wait before mandating VP to take over.

Now you are seeing the light. One reason why I want a disintegration is because Nigeria was not created by our own hands. It was done by the colonial rulers. If you want to know how an average white man see we Africans,watch serie A. Look at how the blacks are treated in the US.most African countries are I. Conflict because of too many tribes and the divide and conquer tactics used by the British and France on their colonies. These countries are very wicked I mean they are very evil. We all know what France has done in French colonies. But the British as evil as they are try to make it look like as if they are good people. They have this attitude of condescending look at their fellow whites thinking they are better than everyone and imagine how they would look at the black man. The Yorubas have to team up with their cousins in Benin to have a separate state or be on their own. The Igbos have to form a country with their cousins across the Niger an dthe north would have to be with their people in the Chad and Niger areas. We are moving towards slavery if we continue to accept our fate and bloodshed if we decide enough is enough. If the Yorubas unite with the Igbos, which would be difficult then we would create a force that would challenge not only the Fulanis but the western imperialism. But for some reason the Yorubas feel so comfortable in this union. Whatever achievement that Awolowo created has been destroyed by the North. Africa has to be reorganized for it to move forward. All I see is wars wars wars.

I disagree with u. Nigeria is much greater and Nigerians are much better off staying together. The diversity alone makes it worth it. It also makes us the GIANT we are. The only problem is radical Islam and the fact that some may secretly want to Islamize the whole of Nigeria by force. That is the BIG problem

I LAFF ANYTIME I READ THIS UKIWE STORY.... I KNOW MOST OF YOU WERE QUITE YOUNG THEN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED... EBITU UKIWE WAS GIVEN TOO OPTIONS... RESIGN HONOURABLY OR BE BOOTED OUT. THAT'S CALLED DEVILS ALTERNATIVE. OSINBAJO IS ELECTED BY NIGERIANS WHILE UKIWE WAS HANDPICKED BY THE MILITARY.....

You’d think that’d be obvious to everyone

Martinez39:
It's a coincidence. What about your dreams that didn't come to pass?

This shows that the spiritual is utter piffle and spiritual experts of any kind are frauds. Certain spiritual experts are deluded but it doesn't make their claims about the supernatural true.

BTW another topic of mine just made front page:

He has breach the law simpl. I would like to see our legal practitioners take up the case. But that your assertion I not justifiable at all... we were all in this country when supreme Court disqualified the candidate of APC who has already won an election and declare the PDP candidate winner while the same Buhari was still the president. quote author=CanadaOrBust post=83835773]

If u go to court, he has the Supreme Court in his pocket - just as he has the house and senate. Chai!

They can’t make it so obvious. Attack or try to take over the presidency and you’ll see who owns the supreme court

Martinez39:

I am the one that had the dream and I can assure you, IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE AT ALL. And there are also other instances.

As for spiritual, I was once attacked by a gang - a group of guys known to me. In the heat and passion of the attack I passionately prayed that they be destroyed in Jesus name. First, the attack mysteriously stopped.’ Then over the next several weeks they were all destroyed, one by one. To me it is beyond coincidence - something happened

anonimi:
Lost what?
What did Ebitu Ukiwe lose when Aikhomu replaced him and stayed with Babangida till he stepped aside?

Lost what??! BECOMING PRESIDENT, that’s what. That’s a HUGE loss indeed!

ezenwajosh:
Which of the buhari

I see your point. The current Buhari is mysteriously much younger, more alert, and is never hospitalized. And seems to have to go to U.K. from time to time (maybe to renew the juju)

anonimi:
He can resign.
That is something that he can do.
That is what Ebitu Ukiwe did rather than continue with the evil genius maradona.
if a soldier can resign, why not an ordained pastor of RCCG


https://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/wp-content/uploads/people-power-cc.png

That’s the worst thing he can do. It is almost like the president resigning because the media is lying against him and insulting him. How does that hurt them? How does his resigning hurt Buhari? So he resigns and tomorrow Buhari is long-term hospitalized or dies. Who lost?

Branzy:
America vp is also the senate president

Which is ceremonial. Which is why he is never there. He cannot cast a vote(except to break a tie) and he cannot even address the senate. The real president is the majority leader

Niaja4real:
And even osibande cannot read, digest & understands the true import of Section 145(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the FRN ( as amended) to bad for a SAN & a law Professor.

So he reads and understands it, then what? Nothing he can do

slimfit1:
We don't have a court in Nigeria stop it.

Oh we have courts - maybe not courts of justice but courts nonetheless - tennis ball courts, basketball courts, etc

OLAADEGBU:
The topic is the horrible danger of not fearing God. Budaatum does not see the need to fear God, do you agree with Budaatum on this?

I don’t know him. I only know this one post

tennerick:
I try to tell people that most citizens of Nigeria of Buhari's age still believe that we are ruled by the British and are fascinated by the Queen of England, so degrading, I know Africa will rise again for my children or great-grandchildren and the prime minister of UK will be signing such bills in Lagos.

You nailed it, but no matter how much u rise UK will NEVER so degrade themselves

johnmartus:
Understand the fact that we are operating presidential system of government. Not totalitarianism. Start use your head

The point is that the Chief Justice is his hand-picked Sharia-loving brother

OLAADEGBU:
What analysis? Budaatum is ignorant on the topic of this thread.

But he is right. Read his post.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom
—The primary classes. Where you begin.

and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
—The advanced classes.

johnmartus:
Ubani please take him to court if you're not comfortable. Enough of this useless talk every time.

Take him to which court? When the supreme court is in PMB’s pocket

sassysure:
Thank u Mr lawyer.
I had expected our so called constitutional lawyers to shed more light into this but it seems like we don't have such lawyers in Nigeria anymore or is it Buhari effect?

So the 21 days brouhaha was taken out of context?

Hmm.

I hate politicians but I'm beginning to pity the vice president. That man will soon develop high bp. He will be regretting seriously.
He made money working with tinubu, has a successful career, what again does he want if not greed?
Even as he went to aso rock, greed no gree am see road.

Those that put you there has more political powers than u.
U for quietly do what u signed for and go your way.
At least, we will still blame it to the redundant office of the vp as usual. U can never make Nigeria better.
Very impossible. As long as Nigeria is structured this way with the useless 1999 constitution backing it, no president will make naija work. U try, forces around u will spoil show for u. Ask Jonathan and late yaradua.

That’s exactly what he did - shed more light. The 21 days is not for the prez, it’s for the NA. That’s how long they have to wait before mandating VP to take over. Bubu always handed over till the “war” started

London trip: Buhari has breached constitution, says Ubani

Oladimeji Ramon

A former Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr Monday Ubani, says

President Muhammadu Buhari breached the constitution for failing to hand over to the Vice President while embarking on a two-week private visit to London.

Ubani also condemned the transportation of a bill to London for Buhari to sign.

The lawyer faulted the claim that the President was not mandated to hand over power to the Vice President unless he will be away for more than 21 days.

He said those making the claim were misinterpreting Section 145(2) of the constitution.

Ubani recalled that subsection (2) was introduced to Section 145 of the constitution in 2010 to forestall a repeat of what happened when the late President Umar Yar’Adua embarked on a foreign medical trip without transmitting power to the VP.

He said, “The sum total of that subsection is that if the President fails, refuses and or neglects to transmit power to the Vice President, the National Assembly is mandated after the period of 21 days to pass a resolution empowering the Vice President to start to act automatically ‘as the Acting President of Nigeria’.

“That section did not and never provided that it is only when the President will spend more than 21 days outside the shores of the country, that he will be required to hand over power to his Vice President.

“The 21 days provision is meant to give the maximum period the President will be allowed to be in breach of Section 145 of the Constitution as the National Assembly will come in to do what the President ought to have done in the first place by mandating the Vice President to act in the place of the ‘travelled President’.

“The President has breached the 1999 constitution, no doubt, by his inability to transmit power to the Vice President of the country for the 19 or less that he wants to spend for his “private visit’ in the UK.

“His “private visit’ has no place in Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution in the first place. He is only allowed outside the shores of Nigeria for official visits, medicals and or vacations.”

Ubani said the signing of a bill by Buhari in London did not speak well for Nigeria’s sovereignty.

He said, “More troubling is the signing of Offshores Bill in the UK, outside the shores of Nigeria. The act of signing the bill outside the country, politically sends a signal to our friends that our sovereignty as a nation is in doubt.

“Some acts attract dignity, some do not. This one certainly does not. If I were the President, who love and respect my country, I will instruct that the bill should wait until I come back and sign it in our shores. The signing of that bill in the far UK sent wrong signals on so many fronts and it is not healthy for this government.” Lalasticlala

SMH. A lot of people in this forum are policemen or have relatives that are policemen, do you think what you just typed is sensible enough? When catastrophe befalls like this, a lot of people are quick to judge and make insensitive comments, meanwhile the proper thing would be to sit and let the course take it's place, there are bad eggs, these bad eggs should not be the cause of a hateful generalization —humanity starts from you!

Sooo, bros, u can see from the number of likes that your position is very unpopular.

dokie:
How many does buhari have, and how many of them were sacked?

Buhari has DESIGNATED duties that he needs aides to help him perform. VP’s ONLY designated duty is to stand by. Which, given Nigeria’s mentality and tribal nature, is wrong.
Here is an earlier post I put up:

“But which kind constitution gives the VP no direct power whatsoever. We copy America sheepishly, forgetting we have different mentality”

Functions of the Vice President of Nigeria

Although the vice president may take an active role in establishing policy in the Executive Branch by serving on committees and councils, the relative power of the Nigerian vice president's office depends upon the duties delegated by the president.

Martinez39:
First of all, there is a possibility that they could be lying or exaggerating things and there is also a possibility that their testimonies could have some elements of truth. However, I shall, in my preceding argument, assume that the dreams they talked about happened.

As expected, we can see that the time between when the dreams occurred and when they hit the jackpot varies. The shortest time was a night before the lottery win (as seen in the lucky family's case). Why didn't other lottery winners have theirs a night before? If a spirit can see events thirty years from now, can't it see what will happen tomorrow and can't it be specific with the time of the given jackpot? Why are they not all given the lucky numbers for the very next jackpot? Why do some of them get the numbers without a specific date and have to waste money on tickets for many years before hitting the jackpot? Perhaps, the spiritual can be described in such a way that permits these discrepancies and pettiness. Such description would be a hypothesis that have no proof and no good reason to be embraced as facts.

Can you tell me with boldness that some lottery players who have died without winning a dime, despite spending much, didn't dream of "winning" combinations? Can you say for sure there are no lottery players who have dreamt specific dates and combinations but were disappointed? Even if there are such cases of this kind of disappointment, would you hear it in the news? Highest, it shrugged off as "just a dream" and the player goes for another ticket. If having gone through such disappointment and a similar dream, with a different combination, surfaces and it is successful, you will only get to hear of the "successful" dream while other past "unsuccessful" ones are swept under the carpet. It's all coincidence. Among religious folks, prayers that are "successful" are seen as evidence for god even though all they even accomplish are things that are natural however the odds.

Let's us not forget that sometimes, we could be so mentally and emotionally involved in something and desperate about it that they show up in dreams (in any form or trace with varying degrees of coherency). Given this, should it come as a surprise that most winners are dedicated players? I once dreamt that Chelsea will defeat Man Utd in the 2008 ucl final with a score of 2-0 but you know how that turned out. I once dreamt that I would acquire a certain video game and I did. Think about your dreams that came to pass and the ones that didn't and tell me if this unreliable prediction tool (dream) shouldn't be passed off as randomised.

Intellectually I totally agree with you (see the two stories I have posted below). The only problem is that I have had my own personal experiences. Just recently I dreamt I was on this trip and was very upset because I left a particular item. It happened exactly - I was on the trip and was very upset because I left the item! What exactly is going on!

STORY # 1

james randi

james "The Amazing" randi (born 1928) is a former magician and a scientific skeptic perhaps best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. He is the founder of the james randi Educational Foundation (JREF), and co-founder of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, originally known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.

The million-dollar challenge is a prize offered by the james randi foundation to anyone "who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event."
It has yet to be won though there have been a vast number of attempts.

randi started the james randi Educational Foundation to monitor applications for the $1 million prize, and to serve as an organizing body to help promote skepticism and provide educational resources on claims of the paranormal.
The foundation was headed by james randi for many years before he retired from its presidency.
In 1987 he exposed the Peter Popoff ministry for faking their faith healing claims. The resulting scandal drove Popoff into bankruptcy.
When challenged in 2011 Sally Morgan did not even attempt the challenge.
Sylvia Browne is the only widely known psychic who has offered to take up the challenge. Sylvia was a popular television psychic who claimed that she could communicate with the dead. On March 6, 2001, she agreed to take up the challenge.
To her dying day she did not take the challenge. Sylvia's first excuse was because she did not know how to contact randi. That is comical: a professional psychic who speaks to dead people cannot figure out how to reach randi. Her following excuse was that she did not want to take the challenge because randi is a godless individual—all the more reason she should take the challenge. If the supernatural could be proven and demonstrated, and the $1,000,000 were claimed, it would be a tremendous blow to randi and the skeptical community, and a tremendous boost to her career as a psychic.

“I regard randi as a national treasure, and perhaps one of the remaining antidotes that may prevent the rotting of the American mind.”
—Arthur C. Clarke

STORY #2

To verify existence of ghosts, Houdini (a skeptic and one of the greatest if not the greatest magician) and his wife, Bess, promised each other that whoever died first would try to contact the other "from the other side". He and Bess devised a secret message, a code phrase that would be used.
After Houdini died in 1926, Bess began the tradition of holding a séance on the death annivarsary to see whether Houdini, the Man No Jail Could Hold, could indeed escape from death.
In 1936, the "Final Séance" was held on the roof of the Knickerbocker Hotel in Los Angeles. Ten years was enough, and Bess admitted that she had never received any message from Houdini.

Exactly. That's why I dont believe Hollywood's idea of ghosts wearing white & there are doors open/close, lights flicker, white face etc

Typical 9ja - always trying to get over any way possible

GuestLog:
These are questions that needs answers. I don't know how it works.

It doesn’t. A ghost, assuming such exists, cannot be physical
