Buhari Does Not Have Right To Cut His Salary — Odinkalu
Channels Television. 
Updated July 13, 2015
The National Human Rights Commission says the Nigerian President, Vice President and Governors have no powers, under the law, to cut their salaries.



A professor of law and the Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Professor Chidi Odinkalu, told Channels Television on Sunday that the right to cut salaries rests with the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission.

“This idea of Governors, President or Vice President slashing their salaries, I think it is alluring and a lot of people will welcome it.

“But I will caution that there is going to be a process here, the salaries of the President, Vice President and Governors are not set by them and they actually don’t have the powers under the law to cut their own salaries.

“That is done by the Revenue mobilisation, allocation and fiscal commission,” he said.

Professor Odinkalu further stressed that there was no law that empowered the President to cut his salary.

President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had last week said they would only take 50 per cent of their salaries, as part of their commitment to cutting cost of governance.

The decision was welcomed by most Nigerian, as they believed it was a good way for the President to begin the fulfilment of his promise to cut cost.

But Mr Odinkalu suggested that for the President, Vice President and Governors to cut their salaries, there should be a review of the constitution to empower them to take such decisions.

“What will happen is that they can collect their salaries and decide to donate 50 per cent of that back to the state. We need a system to get that money and be able to use it for public purpose.

“Let us not because of populism do something that is not authorised by law.

“A democratic system is a system of law and we do not elect the President and Governors to do what is unlawful,” he warned.

A monogamous man is naturally attracted to women! He may be married yes and still be attracted to another woman outside of his matrimonial home! And to think he cant be atttractedonce he gets married is to decieve yourself, plain and simple! It is acting upon this attraction that is a sin! Thinking on it, dwelling on it, acting it out, that is adulterry and a sin and I have never in any way condoned it!

Cococandy when did I say the above?!?!?
Post it here verbatim or forever remain a Liar!

..I don't think you live in NYC or DC. If you do, y'd know that angry black ladies say worse things than that. You don't wanna cross their line on a bad day. Moreover, remember these are ladies who don't wanna have anything to do with the man in question. It's a turn-off response...called a 'Get lost answer'. As per being vocal, you ain't seen anything yet..cross the line of an angry black lady from New York or Washington DC, you will enter enter flight back to naija..fast fast!

@cococandy

I read through your post again. I sent you mentions cos I thought you'd be interested in the topic, not because i wanted to rub anything in your face. If you want you can google how homosexuality was voted out of being a psychiatric illness and came to be accepted as normal. It makes a very interesting read.

Over and out.

5minsmadness:
And I am now a nairaland tenant that I'll be here all the time to scrutinise all the threads? It was you who drew my attention to this thread and I responded appropriately! So any thread thst comes out now I have a prerogative to be there before you? You go pay me?

Madam your religion tells you to stand up for your faith. To tell as many people as possible about the good news! To preach to those who are lost and according to your religion's definition, homosexuals are LOST!

JESUS said u shouldn't be ashamed of Him in front of men.... Preach what you believe in and stop using koro/side road to avoid the moral implications of what homosexuality is as interpreted by YOUR religion!

Abeg make I leave u to have the last word.

Okay, you've known this neighbours for 3years meaning they have been married and cohabitating for at least 3years. During this durance there was never a time the man accused his wife of stealing, at least not to your knowledge, right?. If yes then I'd say the mother must have been the one who stole the money to fan the embers of hatred and malice from her son to the wife.

Questions the man would have pondered on, bearing in mind that his mum has never been pleased with his choice of wife was how come the money disappeared just when the mum visited?. Why didn't money disappear through out their living together?.

The man made a hasty conclusion and his mum must have had so much animosity towards his wife to be cheering him while he was on the physical assault. Her action was despicable of a mother and would have been a red flag for me if I were the man. I'd have known something was amiss.

Phema:
And how we are supposed to know this?

You wey be their neighbour no know, na Nairalanders go con know?

Morning Coco,

So, first you said it was a "denial of rights", and I asked which right eactly? From where? And are there other rights where that came from?
Then it was an "Inequality", I queried how it was "unequal" and what we were supposed to be making equal and for whom?
Then you said it was "injustice", to which I responded, which injustice exactly ?

No replies to any of the questions, a deft skirting of the obvious issues, and a limited focus on what are no more than platitudes. Now you introduce the notion of "unfair"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUfU1arc0Es


Coco c'mon. So anyone protesting - with placards - has a de facto case of discrimination against them? Or are obviously being treated unfairly? Like the women who protested plans to outlaw traveling to Europe for prostitution?


There are brother and sister couples who consider their inability to marry "unfair", likewise some "animal lovers". So anyone who feels "unfairly treated" or "hard done by" has an inherent case for a legal remedy?

Which conditions are imposed on gay people or anyone whose relationship does not qualify as marriage? Asking for marriage is asking for conditions to be imposed upon you


No. And a simplistic and reductionist approach in order to ride roughshod over the obvious arguments does not make it so.




So allowing people to choose polygamy and call it marriage can force you to be part of a polygamous relationship? Really? Because you are forced to stay married, or forced to take more husbands, or your husband forced to take more wives?

And denying polygamist the right to their choices, due to erroneous and unfair supposition that allowing them that right to their choices, may affect you, is not unfair? When you married in Nigeria, did you for one moment think polygamy being legal would affect your union?


You haven't distinguished, just drawn an odd comparision.

All good. I thought this philosophy may bring some new and deep insight. Enough. And I won't even bother to discuss this from a scriptural perspective, not least because of what the notions you've introduced imply - I simply cannot see how they can be reconciled with the bible.

Hehhehehheehee
I am glad our discussion got across to you so much. At least we are making headway.

Do you see me supporting the man's actions? Do you see me campaigning for his rights or supporting what he did all in the name of 'live and let live? ' In fact so far have you seen anyone here, male or female, defending his actions in any way? Does that sound like silence to you?

What he did was deplorable, disgusting and utterly bad! Left to me he would be made to serve a life sentence with a monthly whipping of his testicles! I am TOTALLY against this action and if he appeared in my court goodness knows I will have no mercy!

Now can you say the above about homosexuality? Can you make a stand either for or against and not be a perrenial fence-sitter?

Over to you madam!

Chillis:
Yah! Dats my gal.

So you had to go dig my posts, same way you checked my profile pix.

You get time o!

1toRtoiSe1:
am a sinner but that doesn't stop me from acknowledging the truth.

I wonder what you are, cos you are always against the truth.

1toRtoiSe1: and what do you think will happen to the millions of ibos in kano alone talkless of the entire north?

Suya tinz.

1toRtoiSe1:
@bold.

Wasn't that thesame thing people said about same-sex marriage till it got legalised?

I think you and cococandy need to let us know what religion you practice or if you don't practice at all, cos the both of you are always supporting feminism, gay and everything abomination.
