My friend you can go and ask your favourite AI and post what it tells you.

Ask the AI if a 2/3rd majority of all elected members in both chambers of the National Assembly is what is required for the President to get approval to declare a state of emergency over any where in Nigeria.

DeepSight:
This is what I hate the most. Ignorance with arrogance. And you will be arguing.

Please see Section 305(6)b of the Constitution. It specifically provides for a two thirds vote.

Obasanjo was right about how dangerous Tinubu is to our democracy, with Wike’s help in destroying the judiciary.

The only surprise is that the same Obasanjo helped Tinubu fight for power and grab it, maybe because he is jealous of Jonathan and Atiku being better administrators than him.

Which 2/3rd majority ?

Is it an impeachment process ?

A simple majority was what was needed within a quorom.

Stop spewing what you have no clue about.

The majority present during the vote agreed to grant the request for a state of emergency for Rivers state over the imminent breakdown of law and order.

Oga, stop spewing ignorance. Ask Google or any AI what is required to endorse a state of emergency. Then come back and apologise.

He supports the amalanomics expert in balablu bulaba propaganda politics because of his own personal interest.

An example is his bank arranging SPV loan for $3.3 billion to defend the naira which failed to help Tinubu achieve his N300/$1 short term goal.

If it’s true that oil theft has reduced so much then why is Tinubu using Elumelu to take SPV loans secured by future oil revenue, at the outrageous rate of 11.85%?

By the way, why are you labouring in vain to cyber bully Nigerians to stop asking questions about our money

The most elementary mathematical logic shows the claim to be an idiotic one.

AMINDA, post something more sensible if you want my attention.

He got the NASS approval to declare state of emergency and even the Supreme court in an overwhelming 6-1 decision will later strike out a whopping 11 suits challenging the declaration of state emergency.

Even Fubara , who was the real tyrant , will later thank Tinubu for the state of emergency because it prevented the State Assembly members from impeaching him.

So rest.

The NASS is in his pocket and the constitution specifies a two thirds majority. They used a voice vote by which no one can tell. That's illegal.

Secondly I didn't say the declaration of the state of emergency was illegal, I said the removal of the state govt was unconstitutional. They are two entirely different things.

Finally the Supreme Court which is also in his pocket deliberately delayed the issues and eventually side stepped the critical question as to power to suspend elected officials.

Vision101:
Come ooo....why is it that all neutral experts and professionals praise PBAT's reforms?

Stop talking trash.

Vision101:
You are not at his level. You don't have the information at his disposal. You are just an ordinary ignorant social media hawk. In any country words from people like Tony carry heavy weight but Nigeria is Nigeria.

Any baby can tell with simple logic he is talking out of his ass.

FSBoperator:
Lol.

How is he a tyrant ?

Care to provide evidence of Tinubu's tyranny ?

1. Unconstitutional suspension of Rivers State Govt.

I can cite others.

The stability of the Naira and the removal of subsidy is why a lot of investment are flowing into the oil sector. States are now financially stable and they can pay salaries and embark on legacy capital projects without borrowing. Local governments in serious states like Lagos are coming back alive and undertaking huge projects.

Today, any Nigerian can walk into a bank, open a letter of credit and get forex at a rate that is similar to the official rate. Nigerian stock exchange is the best performing stock exchange in the world all because of the inflows. Why do you guys want to reverse this positive trajectory with a return to subsidy simply because you want Tinubu defeated? Sigh! Nawa ooo.

He is a corrupt tyrant and the worst president in the history of Nigeria, far worse than Abacha.

What a liar.

basilico:
I posted here Iran saying they've been at war for 47 yrears
Don't spew stuff you know not.
Okay?

How many times will you be told the history of the matter and schooled that if they have been at war, the USA has been the aggressor?

basilico:
Over what?
I believe your daily job is to lay down facts .
Name one wrong assertion I have made.

You claimed that Biden started the war in Ukraine, that J6 rioters were innocent, and that Trump is exposing the criminal enterprises of Obama.

You need help.

basilico:
Think I've never outlasted your type here.
I can read your intentions a kilometer away [

Pls just consult a psychiatrist.

basilico:
By making every attempt to stop the war started by Biden and EU.


Whose leaders have declared they been at war against America for 47 years. Other leaders played safe with them , Kamala would still be giving them money while they develop missiles capable of reaching America.



Biden did 10 times worse . J6 we're innocent ,the agitatirs were SPLC and FBI thugs whio swayed the crowd,built the gallows and were never arrested.
Biden didn't silence critics ,he attempted to jail every Republican he could .

The rest of Kamala points are just gibberish.
Her campaign was based on what Trunp would do.
What she didn't tell you was that Trump would expose the crimes of Obama and his criminal Enterprise.
In a town hall with CNN in 2016 Hilary didn't get the questions before hand and was put to the grinder. She flew into a rage after it was over flinging glasses saying if that mfqer wins we'll all hang by the noose. Media denies this and actively deleted every reference.
That's what they are afraid of. Brazen crimes some of which have been declassified by Tulsi Gabbard to come to light.
If you know that, you'll understand why they detest Trump.

Urgent medical attention is required here.

LordReed:
I hypotheses that they don't really believe in the end of the world shtick at least not after a certain period. Younger believers tend to believe it more but as they age and experience more of life they see that this thing is as ephemeral as smoke. That is when they begin to create empires. Oyakhilome, Oyedepo, Adegboye, etc. Look at their earlier ministry, it was about waiting for the 2nd coming. Now, it is about consolidating their organisations. You hardly hear them talk about it much.

I am seriously thinking of joining them. Religious fervor is so sweet to milk.

If we start a church we will be billionaires.

RandDigital:
A pageant queen's hard work doesn't end when the crown is laid upon her head, it often continues months and years after her reign.

In the case of national glory, the queen is often looked upon to engage in social upliftment programmes throughout a timespan that often lasts a year until her successor is crowned.

The reigning queen often takes up causes to alleviate violence against women and children, poverty or healthcare, among others.

However, Chidimma Adetshina as Miss Universe Nigeria, Miss Africa and 1st runner up at Miss Universe did none of these, instead she abandoned her responsibilities and returned to her home country South Africa within weeks of her reign and disappeared into obscurity.

One has to ask of the organisers that invited her to Miss Universe Nigeria after she pulled out of Miss SA - were there no contractual obligations to keep her in Nigeria to carry out these duties?

As a Nigerian, does this sit comfortably with you?

Fair questions, though your motivation remains curious and highly suspect.

DeepSight:
Very well argued I must say.

A few questions -

Can you comment on -

1. The accusations that Atiku is Camerounian

2. The accusations concerning his abnormal wealth. What is the source of his wealth if not inordinate official corruption both with the Customs and as VP and Chair of the Economic and Privatization Councils?

3. The accusation by Obasanjo that Atiku uses marabouts.

4. His party-hopping.

Thank you.

Aminda, I await.

I think people who are excited about eating cheap ground beef under Trump’s administration should be extra careful.

Because does it have to be ground? If he’s interested in making beef affordable, why not all beef? Why not the steaks, the roasts, the T-bones, etc.

Why not make the recognizable parts of the animal affordable? Why does it have to be ground (arguably more processing steps) only to sell it cheaper.

I read it when you posted this and I was like that is weird that it has to be ground beef and not all beef, so I decided to investigate more and this is what’s happening.

I’m sure there’s no connection at all 🙄

Boxer is being taken to the knackers!

To Donald J Trump - Horse slaughterer and glue boiler.

I've been very consistent with Epstein.He was the devil incarnate hobnobbing around with rich democrats mostly with an axe to grind against Trump.
They went to his homes and islands where these victims were abused. The abusers paid off many of the victims in return for non disclosures.
Obama admin knew it ,Under Trump Epstein was finally brought to justice.
I have a good suggestion for the victims if they are reading this. Draw up a list and have someone in Congress read out the list. On the floor Congress critters have permanent immunity.

There is a formidable and potent illness nesting within you.

WizardOfNG:
"Mike Arnold's" obsession with Nigeria is fascinating but not surprising. Every drifter and layabout is looking for "projects" today in the social media age to gain virtue-signalling fame and prominence.

PBAT is President and about to complete his first term. "All eyes on the judiciary" did not prevent him leading as our President.

How will supposedly cash forfeiture, linked to a speculated drug case, Tinubu was never criminally convicted of now remove or disqualify him?

Opposition should get serious. Only the likes of Atiku and Obi can be excited about this nonsense because they never built political capacity, loyalists and useful mentees as Tinubu did over decades while planning patiently and meticulously to be President.

They failed to make hay while the sun was shinning because they are lazy and not talented at political leadership.

As "food is ready" politicians Atiku and Obi think they can land in Aso Rock via some disqualification technicality against PBAT. We dey laugh.

Bagudu.

Racoon:
Thanks for being honest. Meaning Tinubu must be a wicked soul for having nothing to offer as everything he ever condemned worsened 10times under him.

Meanwhile, after supporting the disaster called Buhari, this imp doubled on the current disaster promax that have made things more worst and worst but have no apology for Jonathan whom they ganged up to remove when they have nothing better to offer. Wicked souls!

cc: Helineus, Omenka, Seunmsg,

Essentially, in his heart, he is selfish, wicked and hates the common man. Always has.

Where did you get the courage to type this crap?

Honestly. Babanla crap.

TopBanter:
@Aminda.

Rubbish analysis. You don't seem to understand Yorubas power and importance. You'll be shocked at how well Tinubu will do in the North because the leaders of the region (Governors etc) understand the unity of Nigeria is a balancing act only the Yorubas can truncate.

You seriously underestimate the power of Governors. Did you miss what Wike did for PBAT?

If Tinubu and the Yorubas are fully betrayed by the North, the SW has backed honourable, to then lead to them becoming disenchanted with 'One Nigeria' that the North needs,and understands Yorubas are already very fed up, they will know Nigeria is gone as we will face our DAWN Agenda regional integration 'Road Map', existing since 2013, and not return to any 'One Nigeria' negotiating table again after treachery.

Could your leaders demand what Yoruba Governors did below? Shift bro. There is going to the polls, for ordinary Nigerians, and what leaders understand they must do to keep Nigeria united and maintain their permanent political interest.

Look at second image as well. Can your leaders ever dare talk like that against the North as Bode George did? The North know who they really respect as having the power, influence and sagacity to crash Nigeria.

You guys don't understand power-bokerage keeping Nigeria one and you think it is simply about Nigerians going to the polls and casting votes.

North knows if zoning, maintaining the very fragile unity of Nigeria, is gone through an Atiku Presidency then Yorubas are gone too and will depart 'one Nigeria' the North need the most like oxygen.

Even Atiku you worship mentioned that "Yorubas will dominate my cabinet" never others sycophantically worshipping him. What do you think that statement means?

This is just low minded trabalism and ethnic chauvinism talking.

AMINDA:
Thank you. Advise well noted.

I always reserve money in my account incase Atiku insists we must pay before voting him come January 2027.

Regimes from Obasanjo to Buhari had tried many times over and failed.

The corruption was not even fraud you could catch on paper, it was arbitrage. After the fuel was subsidized by our government, these marketers turn and smuggle them out of the country and sell at the international market price in neighboring countries like Benin, Niger, Cameroon, and Chad.

The waterways and land borders of Nigeria are very porous, and it was so bad that not only marketers were doing this, even ordinary citizens were acquiring fuel and smuggling it out using any means available in their capacity.

They started fighting it, even using the military and paramilitary as JTF for this sole purpose, but it kept climbing because what made it profitable was still there and people were willing to take risks (even when trafficking cocaine carries a death sentence in some countries, people still risk it, talk less of smuggling petroleum products).

So the only viable thing to do was to close the gap so there would be no room for arbitration.

The smuggling problem was a separate problem. There was serious padding in the subsidy regime itself. It was balloooned out of all proportion in a few short years.

AMINDA:
No be fight. Tell us the name of the Igboman.

P.S; It was also Nasir El-Rufai that recommended Osita Chidoka to Obasanjo to be appointed as Head of the FRSC. Bottomline, all these bright technocrats all worked under the government of Obasanjo/Atiku. The same can't be said of Tinubu's government. His whole Economic and Finance team is comprised of Yorubas

Aside from the ethnic nepotism, BAT really dissapointed in the quality of appointees. He was always expected to produce a constellation of stars.

shegoon:
Oga governor! What's the purchasing power of this new allocation compare to the former you collect.Also, how much in dollar do you formerly received and now.

It's a common analogy, don't deceive us with name "Billion". I received 250k per month before Tinubu administration and now 600k but I still leave better with 250k

Simple!!!!!

99thEnemy:
I agree with this on the part that they should not have removed subsidy and floated the Naira simultaneously.

Both the subsidy removal and floating the naira were necessary, but doing them simultaneously is what led to the economic shock which affected the microeconomics despite the macro variables being impressively improved.

That is why we all hear reports that the economy of Nigeria is greatly improving but then ordinary citizens are complaining of hardship still (ordinary Nigerians are also contributors to this, to be unbiased about it).

Also there is not enough put in place to regulate and influence individual markets that dictate microeconomics. Price controls are not really the answer though, historically they cause shortages and black markets instead of fixing the actual cost problem, and many Nigerian businesses will resist them anyway, especially mid-sized to petty traders, who will be the most affected.

Last last, the economy of a nation is not plug-and-play, there is no one size fits all, there will always be pros and cons, but at the end everything will balance but it will be gradual and not at the speed most people expect or hope when going in this current direction.

Many have expressed the same sentiment concerning implementing subsidy removal and naira floatation together. However in my view subsidy removal was never strictly necessary. What was always necessary was a strong fight against the ballooning corruption in the subsidy regime.

AMINDA:
Atiku is set to consolidate on his 6.9m votes that he got in 2023 because a huge chunk of Tinubu's 5.6m Northern voters will now vote Atiku having seen the treachery and betrayal by Tinubu of his key allies like Elrufai, Kashim Imam, Badaru, Tanko Almakura, Ganduje (yes), etc that made him president. Even the current DG Tinubu's campaign council, Yari, was double crossed by Tinubu in favour of Akpabio (who lost Akwa Ibom to Atiku) when they both contested for Senate president. Today, he has brought Yari close because he needs his help while Akpabio appear to have fallen out of favour and didn't make the campaign list. This doesn't mean that he won't dump Yari again after winning. He just can't help it.

Atiku is also the most Liberal candidate in the race. This liberality is the reason why he had failed to get the full support of the mostly Conservative North for a long time but this will change in 2027. Atiku clearly loves the Southeast as most of his long-term allies have been Southeasterners; Ben Obi, Ihedioha, Osita Chidoka, Abaribe, etc. He also went against all odds to pick Obi as Vice in 2019 and stuck with him despite the sabotage by Ekweramdu and other Southeastern governors at the time who wanted him to pick them instead. Atiku is not a tribalist, and neither is he a religious bigot.

Atiku is also a certified spotter of talents. As Chairman of the Economic Council under Obasanjo, he assembled a team of technocrats comprising Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, Nuhu Ribadu, etc. Those were the golden years of technocracy in governance, and their records are yet to be surpassed. Atiku will do the same and even more as president.

Atiku still has an extended hand out to the Southeast. Back a strong candidate that has the higher chances of winning and bring the Southeast back into the national conversation. Atiku has always maintained that he is the bridge to a Southeastern presidency and he means it. The likes of Umahi and other Southeastern politicians who currently support Tinubu are only doing so because they want to become Vice presidential candidates in 2031. Why not make the time shorter and sit at the negotiating table by supporting Atiku in 2027. Northerners always pay their debts but no betrayal goes unpunished no matter how long it tarries.

Very well argued I must say.

A few questions -

Can you comment on -

1. The accusations that Atiku is Camerounian

2. The accusations concerning his abnormal wealth. What is the source of his wealth if not inordinate official corruption both with the Customs and as VP and Chair of the Economic and Privatization Councils?

4. His party-hopping.
