JusticeSeeker:
You insult people here but display the highest level of ignorance and behave as if you've a Phd in illogicality. Your thinking isn't up to that of a child in the kindergarten class. How can you ever conceive that All members of the house will sit before their 2/3 will be counted for an impeachment of a senate president? In their normal legislative plenaries, is it always all that sit?

Another idiot on the loose.
I know thinking is a chore for your ilk,but comprehension too?
Lord have mercy

Butterflyle0:


That's not what I meant. I simply gave an example explaining what 2/3, MAJORITY of the members of the house meant in the constitution.

Do note the exclusive nature of the word MAJORITY and use of the language (2/3 of that)

I could also have cited the same example by saying if a family was made up of 109 members and 55 are present which according to the constitution forms not only a quorum but also THE MAJORITY of members of that house.

The constitution did not say MAJORITY OF ALL THE MEMBERS OF THAT HOUSE.

Neither did it say 2/3 MAJORITY OF THE ENTIRE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.

It simply states that as long as the number present is more than half of the entire members then that becomes MAJORITY of the members of that house.

Be mindful of the commission of the words ALL and ENTIRE

Solve this question,using simple BODMAS(Hope you remember/know what that is).
2/3(members of the house).
Where:
Membership of the house = 109
Good luck.
Note:There is no mention of quorum in S.50(2)c,and it is trite law that what is not mentioned in law is excluded.

2odd:

72 at least

72+.
Meaning APC needs 73 Senators,at least,to impeach Saraki.
This question has already been decided by the Supreme Court,which is why you don't see any APC Senator talking publicly,at least,of impeachment. Only minions and zombies,who don't know their right from their left.

Read what i wrote again because your comment here shows you did not understand it

Jellyfish, you either are ignorant or being deliberately obtuse.
From what you wrote,4 can make a decision for 6 cos 4 is 2/3 of 6.Less than 4 can't,resulting in an impasse.
Now,give of 2/3 of 109.
Simple mathematics

Butterflyle0:


It says 2/3 MAJORITY of the members of that house.

This means all the members of the house must not be present for decisions to be made. Only a majority in number to all the numbers in the house.

If a family has 6 members and there are 4 members present they can take a decision that would be binding on the 2 that are absent. That Is what the legal language in the constitution implies

If your brain can code that 2/3 of 6 is 4,can you give us 2/3 of 109 please?

It's really been proven that in order to be a member of APC, one has to lose his brain or at the very least, lower his iq.
2/3 majority of members of a house, a clear and explicit provision,is now subjected to varying forms of twists and gymnastics.
For those of you who genuinely don't know and want to learn,any question that requires a 2/3 majority of a legislature to settle, means 2/3 of the total membership of that house.They all don't have to be there, but once the required threshold is cleared, then the question is carried.
These have all been cleared up by the Supreme Court,for the idiots that are here supporting illegality in the hope things will later be tied up in court. See Peter Obi v Anambra HOA, Ladoja v Oyo HOA.

Nairaland really has gone to the dogs, ignoramuses everywhere,kids and adults with the iq of a jellyfish populating the space.
If only there were mods up to the task........

And an idiot mod put this trash up on frontpage. Nairaland really has gone to the dogs. SMH

Not necessarily, it can be run with or without a Senate. Portugal, Norway and Sweden all run a parliamentary system with no Senate.

Portugal, Norway and Sweden are not federations.
With a federal system/empire comes a Senate.
Political system 101

divinelove:
we need a Senate but not HOR

house of representative should be scrapped

The Senate represents the federating units and their equality,while the HOR represents the people of the federation.
As a federation,both are important and needed,but an executive presidency can be scrapped.
In order to scrap any of the chambers,Nigeria must first become a unitary state officially.
Even then,most unitary states have bicameral legislature, e.g France

See ignorance....you won't know something but the zombie in you can't keep calm


President doesn't veto bills...he can only decline to assent to it


It is the NASS that vetos bills when the president refuses to assent once they can garner 2/3 majority


Try and drink some cow milk for better reasoning

The President vetoes bills.Declining assent is veto.
The National Assembly OVERRIDE vetoes.
To topic,the NASS can amend the Electoral Act even two weeks before elections.Where the zombies on this thread are getting their 6months rubbish is baffling.
Very funny set of people,grasping at the air,not even straws.

ANIOMA is not IGBO. Anioma is an acronym N part of it is another acronym of my tribe , find out what is. Igbo means slave in my language. Find out where and you will know my village.

- The youths of Tanjol in Riyom local government area have reportedly murdered 38 cows and injured 15 - The leaders of Miyetti Allah said the youths prevented the cattle herders from slaughtering the injured ones A fresh crisis looms in Plateau state as locals of Tanjol in Riyom local government area of the state reportedly killed thirty-eight cows and injured 15 more during an attack on herdsmen on Monday, June 4. Daily Trust reports that the state youth leader of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in Nigeria (MACBAN), Ibrahim Yusuf, said the cattle were shot by armed Berom youths. When they killed the cows, the owners returned to the scene with personnel of Operation Safe Haven to slaughter the injured ones but the attackers opened fire on them.” The herdsmen were eventually able to slaughter the 15 wounded cows with the assistance of men of Operation Safe Haven. OPSH media and information officer, Major Adam Umar, confirmed the incident but could not give details of the killed or injured cattle. He said: “The presence of our personnel deterred the attackers from killing the other cows and our personnel were able to secure the place and are working hand in hand with other security operatives and traditional leaders of that area to get those responsible for the attack."

So Riyom Local Govt is now same as Barkin Ladi?.
And cows now measure up same as a human life?.
Have you no shame left in you?.
May you meet fate worse than death and may all who encounter you then rejoice and make merry.
May you not die of it,but drink of the cup of God's wrath to the last drop.
Amen

Awon propagandists! So d VP, Chief of Defence Staff, chief of Naval Staff are not included ba?


No be una fault sha, I if not for d delay, in tackling d herdsmen carnage, d security apparatus of d nation, would av been beyond reproach!

Shitties- decimated

NDA-harrassed n settled out of d creeks

Kidnappers n armed robbers- d police, have been, unrelenting, in their case

Militants n illegal refineries- harassed relentlessly

Herdsmen*

*jury is out

The VP is not a member of the NSC
All statutory members of the NSC are listed in the constitution and the VP is excluded.Same way the President is excluded from the National Economic Council,of which the VP is the chairman.
To topic,we do not have a National Security Council.There's nothing national nor secure about the council,as presently constituted.Anybody defending said composition is sick in the head

jemimafelix:
People like Belgore and Dino outbursts regarding posthumous honours bestowed on MKO and Gani few days were just unfortunate to say the least.

Where's that stupid mod and upholding Rule 8?

ORIENTATION101:
the event is about the sdp party presidential election candidate in June 12 election .the key players of the event re excepted to be invited which was done.it is not a national sharing cake day .

Frank kokori from delta state
nosa igiebor from edo state
south south region

Humphrey nwosu iyorchia Ayu and Ameh Ebute and Speaker Agunwa Anekwe from south east region

these re the key players of the event you don't expect federal govt to turn it to carnival

Why only elected office holders from SDP/SDP party officials?.Why not NRC and those elected on its platform?.
It's supposed to be a National Democracy day,not SDP Day or Southwest Day.
It's glaringly obvious to see that this is all about 2019 election,and not any altruistic honoring of Abiola and Nigerians that voted that day,who really are the true heroes.

Awka could be bigger but Nnewi is more populated, what is refer as Nnewi as town have spilled allover places like Ozubulu, Oraifite, Nnobi, Akwaihedi, Unubi which are adjoining towns forming a conurbation of the second largest city in Anambra.
Because of economic concern its bigger, Awka is much of an administrative, academic and tourist environment.

Actually,Nnewi proper is bigger than Awka in terms of land size too.

See this guy calling someone semi illiterate that can not compose two lines of a correct and simple English at a time.its a pity

������������

You really are dense,but then y'all aren't any sharp tool in a shed.
What I am,and my command of English,is way beyond your ken.
Revel in the fact I deign to notice you this occasion. Celebrate it.

BMC,Oyo chapter,opened office April 26,it seems.
Pity they only employed semiliterate hungry youths,who can barely string two words together to make a sentence.

It is a good development, but if there's no provision for fingerprint identification before the voting option comes on,then the machine becomes another avenue for rigging.

Perpetual wailers everywhere...one of them said Nigeria is spending tax payers money to defend the invitation(referring to bashir Ahmed's TWEET.) meanwhile same bunch of jokes were jubilating Upandan when a Nigerian artist was invited for an Obama event recently

He wasn't "invited", Numbskull. He drew the portrait being unveiled.

Let's see if I got this clear.
PMB cancelled Gov.Jakande's Metro rail project,that would have launched Lagos' transport infrastructure into the 20th century,as far back as 1984,forfeiting millions of naira of Lagos money in the process,then comes back in 2018 to commission an ordinary bus terminal,and we're expected to jump for joy?

Another useful idiot on the loose

HarunaWest:

what thrash are you saying nah...Ceremonial ke. Chief of defence staffare you kidding me??...When General Abacha,ACM Marshal Paul Dike, General Azazi and ACM Alex Barde held forte as CDS...who could cough,,They made others Chiefs look so irrelevant....The Katsina Cabal have silenced General Gabriel Olonishakin believe it or not..They are just waiting for his next tenure elongation to elapse before they replace him with AM Sadique.... Meanwhile am from The North

The next CDS will come from the Navy.
It's rotational, according to the Armed Forces Act.

I'm very pleased with my people for making sure bishop chikwere was not disgraced

I told people once the Pope knows the real story this matter would be resolved

We're are the people that said mbaise didn't agree on a bishop

All we said was chose from the list our last bishop dropped before he died like it is done everywhere

You can never impose leadership on an mbaise man that's a fact.... Call us all the bad names because you were feed with half story

My people stood for the truth and I'm proud (tho I'm not religious)

Lucius Ugorji is the Bishop of Umuahia, appointed ADMINISTRATOR of Ahiara Mbaise diocese who's seat is now vacant.
Don't crow yet, the Pope may yet appoint a bishop from outside Mbaise clergy.
You guys just introduced tribalism/statism into the church in Igboland, just be ready for whatever comes out of it.

muykem:
it's highest insult you can think of. It has never happened since 1999 and it will not happen now.

The NDDC Act was passed into law by an override of Obasanjo's veto.
The Constitution specifically has that provision to check against the foisting of an 'emperor' on us like you zombies are trying to do.

If Boko Haram isn't still around,they wouldn't be carrying out attacks now,would they?.
Something really is wrong in the thinking processes of Aso Rock,I swear.
As to that fallacy of 20 out of 27 LGAs being in Boko Haram's control by March,2015,how then was election held in Borno that month and Buhari scored over 440,000 votes?.They think majority Nigerians are as dull and amnesiac as they are?.

OP forgot the Nsibidi inscriptions on the throne.

EternalTruths:

Why are you complaining.?
The full meaning of FRN is Fulani Republic of Nigeria and cow is her symbol.
So expect more of this in Aso Rock.

Has anyone seen Sarrki.?
Seriously looking for him.

chuksjuve:
FTC ..

Nice profile,
Rich cv
Truth be told
He can contest by virtue of the constitution
I put to him he can't Win it ..

Reason
Politics is first and foremost local
..
What are his political antecedence?

What political structure does he have on ground?

What Is his grass root base / movement like ?

What party is he contesting under?

You can't just wake up 10 months to election and claim you want to be president..

It's tantamount to having a good ambition but wrong timing, wrong move ...

I think the best he can get is a ministerial political appointment in hid field of study ..


Views are mine based in the political Nigerian reality on ground


Contact us for your Beautifications , Gardening and Horticulture projects ..

The guy is my first cousin,but like you rightly pointed out,no structure.
He hasn't even made any impact in our villa.Nothing to point to as having his imprint on it.
Funniest of all though,there's talk of him contesting on the platform of a brand new party.
We yet wonder what sort of political headway he hopes to make with that.The odds are stacked high against him,sigh

anibirelawal:


That was a political joke..

What political joke?
He was being interviewed on transport infrastructure and nothing to do with tribe or ethnicity, yet he went ahead,of his own volition,to affirm his Igboness.
Get your head out of your ass.

anibirelawal:


Lies, I am yet to see where Ikwere man claimed to be Igbo.

Were you in a cave when Rotimi Amaechi strongly affirmed his Igboness on national tv and at the NASS?.
He's from Ikwerre LGA
