Billyonaire: I have never seen a pessimist join the Billionaires' Club.

I agree....

Is your statement relevant to this thread though?

naptu2: Before I introduce Dr Omoigui's quote, do you know that the President actually commands a brigade? It's called the Guards Brigade, the only independent arm of the Nigerian Army. Even the Chief of Army staff can't deploy officers and men of the Guards Brigade, only the president can (usually through his ADC).

If I were Jonathan, I would personally be recruiting and vetting soldiers for this brigade.
A personal army loyal only to GEJ will be useful against the BH sympathizers (Whom he claims to know) that have infiltrated the government and armed forces.

Just Saying....

Back to the thread though,

Its a commendable move primarily from the angle of job creation BUT...
as a wise person once asked:

PeeDaVinci: [size=16pt]would you wear a made in nigeria bulletproof vest, and think you are protected?[/size]

Good for him.
Better to live an openly gay life than a miserable closeted one...

Spirit of Okija: It was very obvious he had done this before.. He didnt want the money brought to his house and he sent a third party to pick it up from an almost neutral location from where the money can easily be flown abroad under diplomatic cover or transported to an unknown destination..

The Feds should be hunting down that Tee Jay fellow.. That guy is his runner and would have a lot of info on all his other underhand dealings..

#CSI Abuja

Guy when you're not being silly,

you sound like a very alright guy,making a lot of sense...

I guess I might have been wrong about you.

Wait...
So one manager got sacked for coming 4th,
and is being replaced by a manager that was sacked for NOT achieving 4th....

That makes sense...

Billyonaire: I think you have a point there, I am equally right, check this out. I got it on google.

Link between the judiciary and the government

4.8 The Attorney-General is the link between the judiciary and executive government. The Attorney-General recommends the appointment of judges and has an important role in defending the judiciary by answering improper and unfair public criticism, and discouraging ministerial colleagues from criticising judges and their decisions.

Let's not further derail this topic my nigga,

Moving On...

I feel Farouk made a hge mistake getting involved in this mess.

He has a whole lot more to lose than Otedola.

Billyonaire: AG general is not President bro, although he is appointed by the Presidency (Executive) and go to Parliament (Legislators)for Approval, he heads judiciary. I expected you to show me that its the job of the President. Stop believing things based on sentiments, be guided by the books.

Billyonaire,

No fall my hand Gee,

(1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation,shall be vested in the President and...be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation

AG is part of the EXECUTIVE.

And GEJ can choose to prosecute DIRECTLY or through members of the EXECUTIVE including the AG.

Wheeew...
I need an ice cream now

lacidi: Jesus! Prosecution is the act of charging a person to court for a criminal offence! It is NOT the act of adjudicating on the case. Please check the definition of prosecution, that is where you are getting it wrong. NB: Am a lawyer called to Nigerian Bar since 1993.

For emphasis, please check thses links for definition:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_prosecution_mean

What does prosecution mean?

Prosecution is the legal process of bringing an alleged criminal offender to trial.

The district attorney and his office file charges against the defendant(s) and present evidence at a trial. The accused normally has legal representation for his defense.

Baba you dey Vex o...

Billyonaire: where in your excerpt of the constitution did it state that the President can Prosecute ? Please can you also post the duties of the Judiciary because your assertions are misleading. Thank you.

As you wish bruv,

Firstly, let me just state Section 6(Which lists out the characteristics of the Federal Executive) subsection 150:

"(1) There shall be an Attorney-General of the Federation who shall be the Chief Law Officer of the Federation and a Minister of the Government of the Federation"

This designates the Attorney General as Part of the Federal Executive.

Bearing in mind that "In most common law jurisdictions, the attorney general or attorney-general is the main legal advisor to the government, and in some jurisdictions he or she may also have executive responsibility for law enforcement or responsibility for public prosecutions." (Wikipedia,2012)

Going back to an earlier post, it was established that:

cheddarking: 5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation:

(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by[b] him either directly[/b] or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation

[quote author=cheddarking]We have now established that the AG is a member of the Nigerian Executive AND that the constitution allows the Presido to execute the law directly or through the AG.

Now as requested, a link to the judicature as stated in the Nigerian Constitution

http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#Chapter_7

You're welcome..

Billyonaire: Thanks for respecting my opinions, but I need you to consult the books to further buttress my facts. Go google, go constitution. Thanks once again.

Billy,

I give you Section 5 of the Nigerian constitution

5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation:

(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation; and

(b) shall extend to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, all laws made by the National Assembly and to all matters with respect to which the National Assembly has, for the time being, power to make laws.


The president CAN prosecute.

You got it wrong bros.

Billyonaire,

Ive always had a lot of respect for your views and opinions BUT...
on this one you got it wrong hands down...

Now repent of your ignorance.

He said:

Billyonaire: There is what is called SEPARATION OF POWERS in Democracy, its not President's job to prosecute. I think military regime has ruined our psyche, its the judiciary...that should prosecute, if President meddle into the issue, it will be termed political witch-hunt.

Then he said:

Demdem2: The executive arm of govt does the prosecution. The head of this arm is the retardeen so oga i think u are wrong. The AG still reports to the President

Then he said:

Billyonaire: I almost believed that you are intelligent. So the Court is now an Executive arm of government or the Presidency is now a judicial arm of Government. Which village secondary school did you attend. It is necessary to make political science/government compulsory in our secondary school curriculum so we wont have people like you in future.

Then they said:

PeeDaVinci: in plain simple english (though it can be more complicated than this) - it is the duty of the executive to prosecute, judiciary just moderates the prosecution and gives the verdict

Demdem2: BillyGoat, av always known that u are daft but never knew it was this terrible.

Prosecution: Institution and continuation of legal proceedings.

The courts dont investigate, arrest (ideally) and initiate criminal proceedings against individuals or cooporate bodies, this is meant for security agents like the police, EFCC, ICPC and their kinds. All these fall within the purview of the executive. The courts are simply there to interpret the law.

A quick wiki check confirmed that:

The Executive arm is the part of government that has sole authority and responsibility for the daily administration of the state.The executive branch executes the law. The division of power into separate branches of government is central to the idea of the separation of powers.

...And then Billy was left looking silly

Spirit of Okija: 3

REASON:

1 Mark for the Photoshop..

1 Mark for the posing

1 mark for attempting to look fine.


Total score = 3 out of 10..


P.S: That your lip sha!! Thank God say you be man, your money for finish for lipstick, because na two you go dey use per make-up session.. 1 for the upper lip, 1 for the lower lip..

ROTFLMAO

[quote author=The_Matrix]Guy, your mouth is so wide, you cud swallow a banana sideways [/quote]Nairaland o......

Spirit of Okija: Otedola is innocent, Farouk is guilty..

My verdict, shoot Farouk point blank in the head in front of the national assembly so everyone would see what we do to crooks..

Spirit of Okija: Its a classic sting move.. Repeat everything the perp says and ask him to confirm.. Otedola was brilliant with this.. I wonder what the assembly folks are 'hearing' for..?

Hand over the thief to the public for jungle justice... The courts are too slow..

Find myself agreeing with Spirit_of_Okija.
Weird.

The hilarious clash of accents got me laughing so hard...

Femi: Whats the name?
Faroul: Atize
Femi: Atize?
Farouk: No Kize
Femi: Kize?
Farouk: No Tee Jay

Is this how all Nigerian corrupt deals sound?
Its a wonder how they could both keep straight faces...

lagerwhenindoubt: On a scale of 1-10, i give you 5. you need to add character to your face. simply smiling and looking cute will only attract MILFs

I'm literally weeping with laughter....

@ Planmaker

I'll put you at 5, your looks are just average.

LMAO Una no go kill me for Nairaland...

Ahh Mr Saggy is chatting poo on this thread again...

I honestly believe that he is a product of a traumatic childhood.

Unloved by his parents and friendless at school,constantly berated for being dull in class.
Hence his obsessions with the words 'Cretin' and 'person'

The kid nobody picked at football cos he was an otu

This perpetual discrimination has fueled the rage inside him, warping his thinking and making him develop a confrontational style as a defense mechanism.

I can think of no other reason why a human being would be so consumed with rage and unhappiness.

People please understand Sagamite and love him.

The only place he can get noticed is on Nairaland.

gbadexy: I'm concerned about his insinuations. How would the months get intense and then dark? Darkness doesn't mean any good thing in any form.
I seriously think the man is pushing his luck.
Personal attacks should not be made on someone using religious platform.
It just goes to show that religion should be regulated by government to censor what religious leaders so to their gullible and susceptible followers.
Believe me, although majority of the illiterate almajiris in the north are the boko haram recuits, if a radical pastor tell his cngregation to arm themselves and attack muslims as a form of modern crusade, even with the so called education of the south, not a few would comply. We all know how pastor king and is congregation did with the burning of a member, leading to her death which was why he was sentenced to death.

So On Point...

cupid4ig: u are just a big fool. a wise and reasonable footballer or business man who makes his money legally will not buy this car in Nigeria. I'd u don't know what to say just stfu

Jesus! Such Viciousness!

Ordinary Tim Cahill of Everton/Australia has a Bugatti Veyron. He is an average footballer for an average Premiership club.

Do you honestly think a Bugatti Veyron is Cheap to maintain ANYWHERE?

Do you honestly think someone who can afford to spend $2 Million dollars on a car is thinking of where food will come from tomorrow?

Do you know how many exotic cars there ARE in Nigeria?

Do you know that you are a professional hater?

Are you Sagamite in disguise?

braveheart2012: You're kind-of daft. No footballer with common sense would buy a BV a domicile it in Nigeria where the roads are horrible, security is non-existent and few people appreciate it! They would most likely keep it where ever it is they play so they can show it up to their club mates. Nigerians are just fools. They absolutely deserve their idiot, thieving leaders. The entire world looks at Nigeria and laughs but the daft Nigerians think they are accomplishing something and calling themselves the giants of a cesspit.

Nigerians and their poverty mentality sha...
Whoever bought that car is obviously someone rich enough to fix it if it gets damaged.
Do bugatti have a garage in Nigeria? or you think your mechanic brothers can fix it?

The wisdom of the rich can never be understood by paupers

The bugatti is a LUXURY designed for the RICH not for the bravehearts and sagamites of this world.


Stick to riding your okada sir and work for your own!

Haters always gon' hate!

Anybody reading Sagamite's posts can easily deduce that he has lives a sad and depressed life.
Nigga has anything good happened to you in your life?
Someone bought a buggati and you're calling him a thief...

Do you know how many Nigerian footballers are out there?
Do you know how much they get paid?

Do you even know who is driving the car?
Nigga shut up and work for your own,and let people snap you too!

Haters always gon' hate.

Fit2Rule: Terry G. Worst in africa..........

On point...
The guy lives around my area and is just a reprobate....

Hi guys,

If anyone is on PSN(Playstation Network) and fancies a friendly game of fifa 12 or something, add gamer tag 'Cheddarking'.

Please feel to drop your gamer tags (xbox or psn) as well.

Is that on PS3?
Cos I've got deadspace 1 & 2 lying fallow in my bedroom..

Reyginus: Observation!elrufai is in the house.El rufai=chaddarking

Reyginus seriously you deserve a medal for your 'excellent' detective work.
Please explain to the forum how you came to such a logical conclusion...

vladimiros: NO, GEJ knows if he exposes them, Nigeria would split, so he wants Northerner to enjoy Almajiri Education for free untill Primary 2,

then when a split happens they can learn mai- ruwa sship and be self sustained

OMG...LMAO

Oyedepo so on point..
