JideAmuGiaka:
If there is a call that all the custom officers should come to Abuja, will Ali attend as custom officer or retired soldier?.

As a civilian in civilian attire because he is a common civilian. PERIOD.

JideAmuGiaka:
Ali is retired soldier and by his appointment, he is a custom officer. If there's a call that all the custom officers are to come to Abuja, will Hameed Ali attend as a custom officer or as a retired soldier?. You should know that once you retire from military, you are automatically a civilian.

He is not. He was never hired by the Nigerian customs and did not go through any customs training to be a customs office.

He's a political appointee, a common civilian hired by the president.

Where do you people get your bogus laws from?

id911:
Femi falana the two face, double mouthed hypocritical charlatan always speaks and turns the constitution upside down to suit his pay masters.

On the issue of uniform, when falana is asked why IG of Police, Army Chief, Immigration CG etc, wear uniforms and the he-goat called Hameed Ali doesn't, he will also twist the question. The charlatan will not also answer why Ali who is a non career customs officer is made a Customs CG

There's a difference between police officers and a political appointees.

Mr Ali is a political appointee and not a customs officer.

The senate can not force him to wear any uniform because it's beyond their scope of duties and they can not even discipline him in any way because he was hired by and work for the executive and not the legislature.

Separation of powers mean anything to you.

You people get too drunk on emotions and sentiments instead of facts, stated laws, procedures and the Nigerian constitution.

Read and comprehend.

sarrki:
Why do some people love corrupt people?

Because they are equally corrupt.

Slimmos:
I don't like talking or bantering with babies.. Try to comprehend my point very well b4 displaying ur ignorance. My point is, there is no way Dino would have gone back to ABU for his master if he had forged their Certificate. He would have gone to another university and not ABU. BTW, Dino and my neighbour graduated same year through amnesty. The V.C got tired of their palava and decided to graduate all of them by force by fire. They never wanted to graduate then cuz what they were getting then was more than wat a 8 to 4 job can give to them. Dino is a graduate of Geography from Ahmadu Bello University.

You are not dino so don't tell me what dino can do or not do.

What's the point in going to another school after getting away with fraud at ABU especially if the same people he bribed are still there to be bribed again.

He got away with it once so what's stopping him from getting away with it all over again.

You are not making any sense.

Btw. Graduating means you graduated with hundreds or thousands of people so how many people have showed up to say yes he graduates because I saw him and we were on the same stage together during graduation.

Who saw him graduating on graduation day.?

Thuggish graduate with 7 programs..Lol


.

[s]

Slimmos:
U need to go and wash ur brain with hypo. Think of this, Dino is currently doing his master degree in this same university, of he hadn't graduated from that university, how would they have offered him admission into their university for masters again? BTW, my neighbour knows Dino very well, I know Dino wen he was in A.B.U. He was my neighbour course mate and they both graduated the same time after some years due to student unionism that prevented them from graduating earlier on.

[/s]


And people don't use fake certificate to enter school or gain access in Nigeria or bribing your way to fradulent success is foreign to you and Nigeria.?


Please keep quiet and ask the man to show his degree to shame SR.

You people Sabi reason like babies Sha.

annibro:
Well I remember so well, I use to see dino often times back den in school@ABU Zaria BTW 1997 - 2000. Always at the Newspaper stand close to the girls hotel @Amina hall, arguing politics.
Sahara reporters are wrong this time

So he graduated from ABU because he used to visit the newspaper stand close to girls hostel and discussing politics?

lmao. You people are funny?


The issue is not about his presence on that campus, it's strictly that he did not graduate from ABU.

OBAGADAFFI:
Do you even now the process of getting admission to do Masters in any University?

You should have educated me if you really know what it takes instead of asking the silly question.

Stevez32:
there is also no proof as yet that he didnt graduate from the said institution.

Do you have any proof that says he did or have the man himself produced any documentation to show that he did?

EngrKem:
I doubt if u went to a university!

Is the topic about me going to any university?


Reading and is definitely not your forte.

uncleinans:
your parent should seek for refund from all the school you attented. my friend use your head. he didnt graduate but they gave him admission to do msc. he should present his cert to you shey? the nysc that he did, he didnt show em his cert before he did his nysc shey? according to you, he bribed his way to. simple logic should make you make reason well that the guy have his cert thats why he went for nysc and the same abu gave him admision because he presented his transcript. thats if you know what i mean. all these childreb sef. use your head kid.

Such happens every day because of fraud and people gaining access and advantage by producing fraudulent certificates hence the topic of discussion.

Why do people present fraudulent documents? Is it not to gain access?


When was the last time you checked your own head for sane and logical conclusions?


These kids sef.

The fact that he's spewing irrelevant rubbish about 7 programs instead of actually defending himself with the main issue like actually producing evidenced that he graduated from ABU to shame SR permanently means he's lying and really did not graduate from ABU.

[s]

uncleinans:
you no get talk. some that did nysc and just finished his msc dint graduate. did you even imagine if the news is fake before you picked it up with all alacrity saying t was abu that said it but you believed it. rubish. the way people reason ehh, e tire me

[/s]



The fact that he did NYSC or did his masters doesn't mean he graduated from ABU and according to ABU, he did not graduate from ABU and instead if questioning me, send your question and anger to ABU or even ask the man you are defending to show us his diploma or graduation certificate to clear things up.

uncleinans:
Oga, but he just did his msc from samr abu....... how come thry gave him admission with transcript?

The info did not come from me, it came from Amadu Bello University, the same University he claimed he graduated from.


Face ABU and let the man defend himself.

Billyonaire:
Absolute rubbish.

What do they even teach in the University these days. I relate better with people who use their senses than people who use their useless certificates.

Whether he went to University or not, he is doing a great job as a talkative Senator.

Forgery and dishonesty means nothing to you people?

Of what use is your own society where the people making the laws that govern your life are fraudulent people law breakers?

With people like you, Nigeria is really reaally doomed.

Gassa007:
What are you saying You now know him more than his classmates??

The info did not come from me, it came from Amadu Bello University, the same University he claimed he graduated from.


Face ABU and let the man defend himself.

Tyche:
Your are dumb bro, no offence

You came up with that after looking in the mirror.

Stevez32:
i dont know how to describe your likes. 'proov' indeed. I doubt you know what evidence means.

You mean you have no proof to share with us that he actually graduated from ABU?

SalamRushdie:
I am not a fan of Dino but this story can never be true because he was the course rep for his dept from year 1 till he graduated ..I have worked under some of his classmates and one is even currently my account officer and they have always said he was their course rep and he was the gateway between them and lecturers for bribes and all what not

This is not hearsay, the info came from the school and they not only have records, they have proof and have produced proof to show that he actually failed and did not graduate so what are you talking about?

Do you have your own proof to show that he actually graduated from ABU?

The man is not even disputing the claim but you are here beating chest and defending what you can not proov.


Youe people sef..

adimsmt:
Oh i have touched your nerves, I'm sorry the truth is always bitter.

Hate, tribalism and bigotry that was your words, you think you are describing me no i can't say that is who you are but there is the saying by their fruits you shall know them. Anyone who criticize the government is always tribal bigot.

[/s]


Coming from a tribal warlord who runs around with the ignorant mentality that only his tribe practice one Nigeria when in fact all you do is spew hatred, tribal rubbish and bigotry all over the place just like the above-highlighted quote.


Funny how your tribal sense concluded that Fashola is incompetent when in fact he's he's achieved more in less than 2 years than the useless ones you call heroes including all their abandoned projects.


Again, you are dismissed.

engineerboat:
Where do you put your check and balances.

Senate have oversight functions hope you know.

Ali is to appear before the senate to answer salient question affecting the Nigerians (whom the senates are representing)

So they want ali to appear in the uniform of the custorm he leading.

Period

Oversight functions doesn't supercede the powers and functions of the executive hense separation of powers.

Stop confusing yourself.

psucc:
And to think that the Legislature doesn't have the powers to sanction an appointee of the Executive is the greatest ignorance.

They need to stop the unnecessary romance with the Executive in order for them to act aright.

Pls go and read any govt textbook. it will help you the more.

You should have stated how and what powers the Senate have to sanction the executive.


Sad when people compound their ignorance with more ignorance.

Go and read up on the meaning of separation of powers.

adimsmt:
Thank God at least you are getting some of my points, but as you said due to inaction, incompetence and corruption that are the reasons why we are where we are i agree with you. But you will also agree with me that inaction, incompetence, and corruption can't be attributed to the government alone, corruption is not just when someone steals money. Corruption is also when citizens like you continued to be the great defender, cheerleader of inaction and mediocrity, that in itself is bigger corruption. When you defend the indefensible corrupted system you became an enabler of a corrupt system and an enabler is equally a corrupt person.
Fashola did well in Lagos no doubt about that but you will agree with me that whatever worth doing is worth doing well no matter the cost. As i said before, If going by what they just finished in Imo state I'll say Fashola has lost his mojo.

What rubbish are you spewing? Fashola is a federal minister with stated budget to carry out his duties strictly based on available at his disposal so what baseless and unintelligent rant about me supporting corruption are you talking about?

Please stick to the argument and stop spewing rubbish or just keep quiet if you have nothing better to talk about?

And saying Fashola lost his mojo was was reflection of your own ignorance because his current responsibilities and variable funds as a federal minister is not the same like what he operated with in Lagos which is obviously common sense.

adimsmt:
When it comes to one Nigeria, we Igbos are the only tribe that really practice one Nigeria not by mouth but by deed, other tribes, its just a slogan. So my people i really don't see anything wrong with it, this is what we Nigerians need to be encouraging.

Based on the highlight, I now see what's driving your baseless and pointless rants. I don't go back and forth with your type since everything your type spew is always based on hate tribalism and bigotry.

You are dismissed.

psucc:
If only Saraki will not put his personal interest above that of the Senate, the Senate ought to bark and even bite the Executive in order to reset the latter's brain.

The Presidency needs to respect other arms and institutions of government. They've technically destroyed the judiciary and will not obey the decisions of the Courts while parading the Legislature as he most corrupt whereas the Executive is the carrier.

There is something in the Nigerian constitution that says separation of power.


The president appoints and the senate approves, but the senate can not discipline of fire the people the executive appoints because they serve under the executive and not the legislature.

Asking the senate to bite or frustrate the presidency based on their flawed understanding of the Nigerian constitution and your own lack of understanding too means you obviously know nothing about Nigeria and the Nigerian constitution and also the meaning and responsibilities of the 3 arms of government.

Scream:
The salient point in the matter is that they feel that baba has bastardised the Nigerian Customs by that appointment and the appointee has carried on like he is a "Deputy President" of the country.

The Nigerian Police Force is in dire need of reforms, from the Nigerian Army was in total disarray, did they consider retired Civil Servants with impeccable records to head those organizations?

The baba is the CG of Customs, his style won't help him achieve anything. When he enters the Senate chambers, they want to see a representative of Nigerian Customs QED.

The presidency should check the history of fights they have embarked upon with the Senate, which have they won? Saraki will go to the courts till the end of the tenure, they won't secure conviction. But they would be frustrated, their already stinking government would fail totally and in 2019 they would not be able to campaign. Most of the guys in senate would decomp leaving them with a dying party with no reasonable achievements.

That man should just wear the uniform he would want his subordinates to wear on daily basis...

He is a political appointee and the constitution doesn't say he must, he serves the presidency and not the senate.

The senate and the average Nigerian like you must respect the laws and the Nigerian constitution and separation of powers.

Splinz:
Since no law compels CG of wearing his uniform, shall we then say that wearing of uniform among custom officers is a matter of choice and not an obligation?

If Ali wouldn't wear his statutory uniform, then other custom officers have no business wearing it!

There is a difference between custom officers and Mr Ali.

Custom officers are not political appointees so they must wear uniforms while Mr Ali is a political appointee hired by the executive aka the president only the president can sack him, the senate can not because of the constitution and separation of powers.

Mr Ali serves at the pleasure of the president and not the senate.

Do they still teach social studies in Nigerian schools at all?

FKO81:
Otondo, Abia and delta is far developed than Ogun, ogun state is disorganized, Abeokuta is so backward when compare to Asaba, Umuahia and Awka, Ota, Ijebu ode, Shagamu are local and backwards towns, only areas in Ogun that look morden are border areas to Lagos, although they lack basic infrastructures, majority of the buildings there and industries are owned by non yorubas, because it closeness to Lagos and they lands there are cheap peole prefer to buy land there, I know like 5 of my friends that bought lands and built houses at Mowe Ibafo, Anambra state is second most developed state after Lagos apart from the major cities in the state other towns are well developed, the state has best roads network, Anambra is most indigenous industrial state in Nigeria, Anambra are second in Commerce in Nigeria, with largest market, education and health sectors they are excellent, kindly open thread for both states, I guess you haven't been to Anambra, if you have...

Strong economic activities and second largest market in Nigeria means huge IGR, strong employment and largest state budgets in Nigeria, but Anambra's budget for 2017 was poor and measly N115 billion and the IGR for 2015 was meager N14 billion.


Ogun on the other hand has a budget of N221 billion which doubles anambra's budget and Ogun state's IGR for 2015 was N34 billion which again doubled anambra's IGR.

Strong economic activities means huge returns in form of IGR and yearly budgets so your rant amounts to nothing because numbers don't lie.

adimsmt:
Inasmuch you did not understand my comparison which is mainly the number, a mere 76 units not 76 buildings for how many people. To me, that is a laughable project for country with 17 million housing deficit. I hope you have seen the one that was completed in Imo state it is the same plan all over the country and it is shame. I ask again is this what the giant of Africa has to offer to 170 million citizens.
As for Kilamba city in Angola, your 2012 article is old which is not the reality today on ground, where are the world bank and BBC that term it ghost city where are they, now your argument is occupancy rate. My argument is let Nigeria do what Angola is doing if you built they will come let Nigerian government take the bull by the horn and stop all the mediocre and all the wound dressing.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8YPch7dHEA

1. Even though the article says 76 units, but we know the this is just in 1 location and the government is constructing many more in other states so your argument was still off base.


2. Yes, we have housing deficits and there's been many decades of inaction by the government, but we both know due to inaction, incompetence and corruption, there's not enough funds to build on the scale you are talking about unless they borrow billions from China or elsewhere to build affordable houses like they did in Angola

3. Fashola as a public official performed admirably in Lagos state when it comes to housing estates, but he has little leeway and meager resources to do what you are suggesting.

raker300:
you think I have the energy to waste on you? Lol..

Projects started and completed are all reported here..they are throughout my handle.

Educate yourself bro

It takes less energy to list just 6 projects obiano commissioned since entering office than your shameful comebacks.

Don't spew what you can not prove.

You are admitting that you can not list anything so stop wasting my time.
