Hi guys,

Please I need your candid advice on this One. I intend to pick up an android phone but am confused on which one to pick between Samsung Galaxy S and HTC desire. Ive not seen much on the Galaxy S however, the internet is filled with complaints about the HTC desire's battery which looses juice quickly. Galaxy also has a faster processor than the HTC.

So guys, help me.

Hahahahah. Its only in NIgeria. sooo funny.

I was still very young and it was always exciting bathing with my friends outside (you will appreciate this if you grew up in the village) with all our 'particulars' in the open (who cares self in those days).

I happened to be the Class Captain of my class and at the same time the Health Prefect of the school. I was sick and was away from the school for about 4 days and didn't know a delegation was coming to see me. I was busy enjoying the bath when I heard voices (the foam from the soap covered my face and i couldnt see anything). I quickly scoop some water with my hand to clean my face, and LO AND BEHOLD, it was as if the ENTIRE school was in my compound and they were looking at me. I wish the earth will open up and swallow me.

That was when i became conscious of my unclothedness for the first time in my life. I quickly tried to cover it with the koroba (pail) but it was not enough. So, I did "Hussein Bolt" to the backyard. I did not even bother to come out to see them again because i was so angry with myself.

M-O-R-E-N-T-E. WHO KILLI KAPTAIN ALEXZ?

In a dramatic move, the Senate yesterday voted to delete an aspect of the Constitution which prohibits people indicted for various offences from contesting elections.

Ike Ekweremadu, the deputy senate president and the leader of the constitution review committee which made the recommendation argued that if left in the constitution, it can be used by government officials to witch-hunt political opponents.

Mr. Ekweremadu, a lawyer, also argued that other provisions in section 137 of the constitution can adequately cover the intentions of the deleted section. The section, 137 (1), prohibits people who have been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by state or federal panels of enquiry or tribunals from running for presidential office.

During the voting, 90 senators supported that it be deleted while only five senators voted for the retention of the section.

However, typographical errors and omissions prevented the Senate from formally passing the draft after the final reading on Wednesday.

Government of thieves

Various reactions across the country have trailed the vote for the removal of this section.

"This confirms what we have always been saying, that this is a government of thieves and therefore the anti-corruption campaign is dead," lamented Balarabe Musa, the chairman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties. Mr. Musa, in a phone interview from Kaduna added that, "we are now in trouble in Nigeria because we are apparently now being ruled by thieves in Nigeria." He likened the ‘Senate's abysmal act' to the failure of the National Assembly in passing the forfeiture bill sent to them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to confiscate properties of treasury looters.

This sentiment was echoed by Rotimi Akeredolu, the Nigerian Bar Association president who described the Senators' action in a terse text message, as a "futile exercise" adding that, "the Senate cannot on its own alone repeal any provision of Constitution."

A timely amendment

However, Sam Amadi, a lawyer, and director, Ken Nnamani Centre for Leadership and Development said the repeal of the act was not an anomaly. Mr Amadi said that in line with other constitutions across the world, the Electoral Act and not the Constitution should specify the eligibility of candidates to contest for election. "I think the clause should be removed completely from the constitution," Mr. Amadi said. "Our Constitution is not working because we have so many unnecessary things in it. Given our country where corrupt persons aspire to the highest offices in the land, the Electoral Act should be what is to be amended and the eligibility clause should be streamlined into criminal conviction and not just indictments." He also warned about what he called, "retaliatory indictments," saying, "we've seen in the past where governors set up panels and enquiries to get back at foes thereby discrediting the person(s) candidature for elections through such indictments and thereby creating confusion and legal challenges for the electoral process."

Another legal practitioner who welcomed the Senate's action is Chris Uche, who said, "the amendment of Section 137 (1)of the Constitution is timely and welcome to remove disqualification to contest election based on indictment by panel of inquiry given the abuse of that clause by governments."

According to Mr Uche, "the need has arisen because of the abuse of this provision by the federal and state governments to block political opponents from contesting elections."

Mr Uche based his argument on what happened to former Vice-President Abubakar Atiku and the former administration in Abia State which also issued a white paper indicting several politicians. "Happily, the Supreme court had in the Atiku case (AC vs INEC) in 2007, neutralised that provision which has now been repealed by defining indictment to mean trial by a court of law. Therefore, what the Senate has done is a legislative endorsement of a judicial reformation of the law by a proactive Supreme court."

Yinka Odumakin, the spokesperson of the Save Nigeria Group who recalled a statement credited to a Senator, Nuhu Aliyu, that the "National Assembly is full of criminals," warned that politicians should not think of using this avenue to pave the way for their return in the forthcoming elections.

He however recalled that the supreme court already ruled that an indictment by an admnistrative panel is not a judicial conviction. "We saw the way this section was abused under Olusegun Obasanjo. Even Orji Kalu set up a panel to do a counter-indictment of Mr. Obasanjo and Iyabo."

The cross carpeting law

Senate also deleted the section prohibiting lawmakers from cross carpeting. Section 68 (g) prohibits federal legislators from dumping the political party on whose platform they were elected unless there is a division in that party. It was deleted by a lean margin of 75 votes, two votes above the required minimum of 73.

Insertions were also made in the constitution, including two clauses in section 228 of the 1999 constitution, to enable the National Assembly make laws that will regulate internal democracies in political parties.

The new section, which got at least 89 votes on Wednesday now reads:

"The National assembly may by law provide for guidelines and rules to ensure internal democracy within political parties, including making laws for the conduct of party primaries, party primaries and party conventions."

Another insertion, to account for every day a governor or president whose election was annulled but wins the re-run election spent before the re-run election was also very popular with the senators. It was passed with 88 votes.

"In the calculation of the four year term, where a re-election has taken place and the person earlier sworn in wins, the time spent in the office before the date the election was annulled, shall be taken into account," the section reads.

The other recommendations which passed include clauses which make the Independent National Electoral Commission and its chairman above the authority of the president or any other body, and the recommendations to make the commission, the National Assembly and the Judiciary financially independent of the executive.

The independent candidacy clause and the recommendation to conduct election not earlier than 150 days before swearing in and not later than 90 days, were also passed overwhelmingly.

The draft amended constitution also recommended a fixed time for hearing and ruling on election petitions by both election petition tribunals and courts of appeal.

Interesting. So Madam Turai is sad? Ok oh. When she was busy amassing wealth and coal on her family with reckless abandon, she didn't know she played her final card by bundling the President into the country. All the pity she would have gotten, she changed to hatred. Let her be prepared to face all the shit coming to her. Let others learn from her.

Prof Pat Utomi - Finance Minister

Reuben Abati - information minister

Well guys, now that the Acting President summoned enough courage to dissolve the cabinet, what we all want is for him to pick the right people to man right positions. Kindly suggest names and portfolios for Nigerian you feel are capable to perform. who knows, this might help the Acting President select his cabinet.

I will start with my nomination.

Prof. Akunyili - Health Minister

I have a compaq 8710p. There was a time the power cable fell on the floor while it was connnected.

since that time, whenever i switched off the laptop and disconnect the power, the ethernet port will be blinking as if there is an activity and if i leave it like that for 5 hrs, the power of the battery will be drained.

If i connect the power to the laptop and the other end of the power is not connected NEPA, the LED light at the converter point will come ON as if its plugged to NEPA. which means, it is being powered by the battery of the laptop. This started after the power cord fell on the floor.

Please what is the solution cause my battery keeps draining anytime i disconnect it from power.

thank you as i expect a solution.
