RZArecta:
single digit IQ. How are you ?

I am not here for trolling and frivolities. Get behind me ...

Agbegbaorogboye:
Is it the senate rule of the US senate you quoted above

We are in Nigeria not in the US. Do you know that the vice president of the US is the Senate president of the US?But he hardly attend plenary.

Agbegbaorogboye:
Is there any such provision in the Nigerian constitution

The Senate can suspend any member who erred but only the constituents can removed(recalled)

RZArecta:
Agbàdo bàstards are clutching at straws at this stage, explaining nonsense. Thunder fire agbàdo bàstards

Trash and unreasonable comment

Agbegbaorogboye:
Is there any such provision in the Nigerian constitution

Let us check the Senate rules

DeLaRue:
Yes, it was a typo. Corrected.

Ok

DeLaRue:
People can old different opinions as to whether the President was right or wrong, however once the house of Rep and Senate approved the proclamation, the decision has passed the democratic test.

Did you say people can old? It should be hold not old

Article I, section 5 of the United States Constitution provides that "Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member." Since 1789 the Senate has expelled only 15 members.

They are jokers. You cannot even face Wike.

Salewa97:
Igbos should sue the Ikwerre people in court to stop them from answering and giving their children Igbo names.

Where is that one done? You are bearing English, Italian,Roman names nobody take you to court for that

press9jatv:
Recall process of senator Natasha will never see the light of the day. They are just making Natasha to be much popular worldwide here.

Nathasa is gone

Shinkara:
Stop asking dumb question. Does Wike behaves like someone who have sense?

That's an insult. You have to mind your language.This is the same man you people were praising some years back when he was attacking Buhari. Then he was a good man, a perfect man. Mow that he changed his direction you now see him as someone who is not normal. I will advise you to check yourself too.

Tareq1105:
They embezzled the money raised just as they embezzled $16b NEPA money without even a candle light.

These are the people claiming they want to rebuild the country. Bunch of thieves

Obaaderemi2:
You don't have to support everything done by this government all because you voted for Tinubu. How do you calculate two third of voice vote?

Is it a must that the Senate must get two third? All it needed was a simple majority. Then in the US where you copied their system how was 2/3 counted using voice vote too? Is there any section of the constitution that says voice vote should not be used as regards the declaration of the state of emergency? Let us be realistic now. We should not be emotional everytime

Shinkara:
This man lacks home training

why?

VnAhunnaPl:
They will handle it with all the care and caution that it deserves.

As they have been doing it all this while?

We all know the reason now. The judge has even shed more light on it

youngestgrad:
Why do they always have this weird nicknames

I was also thinking in that too

Shinkara:
Any evidence to support your allegations?

Don't worry. You will soon expose yourself. I am watching you

This is a real terrorist organisation

Shinkara:
What do you mean by my former account? Do you know me?

Yes.you are one of the people trolling others on this forum. This place is not meant for you. You either go now or we report you

kmst:
You my friend is gullible and wicked at the same time perhaps moved by the hunger you are facing.

Where did you see voice vote in the section of the constitution the Senate derived to pass support on the matter from?

Oya calculate (2÷3 X voicevote ) = Abgado abi?

It's like you can't read.. America whose system you copied is using it till today. May I ask you, has it not been used before? Why didn't you oppose it before now? A double minded man

Them go fight Taya.

I have been reading the comments of some people on the use of voice vote immediately the Nigeria senate used voice vote to settle the issue os the State of Emergency declared in Rivers State. This is not the first time voice vote was used and it can never be the last. America, where we copied oyr own democracy and presidential system of government still use voice vote.
Some of us here in Nigeria will applaud a system when it favours them but the moment the system does not favour them ,they cry fowl.
Now let us look at how voting is done in the US senate.
The Senate votes on bills, resolutions, motions, amendments, nominations, and treaties in a variety of ways. If one-fifth of a quorum of senators request it, the Senate will take a roll-call vote. In a roll-call vote, each senator votes “yea” or “nay” as his or her name is called by the clerk, who records the votes on a tally sheet. In most cases a simple majority is required for a measure to pass. In the case of a tie, the vice president may cast the tie-breaking vote. In a few instances, the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, including: expelling a senator; overriding a presidential veto; proposing a constitutional amendment for ratification by the states; convicting an impeached official; and consenting to ratification of a treaty. Under Senate debate rules, it takes a three-fifths majority of those duly chosen and sworn to invoke cloture and end debate on a piece of legislation. Senate rules also require a two-thirds vote to invoke cloture on a measure that would amend the Senate's rules though the measure itself requires only a simple majority vote for adoption.

The Senate also conducts voice votes. In a voice vote the presiding officer states the question, then asks those in favor to say "yea" in unison and those against to say "nay." The presiding officer announces the results according to his or her best judgment. In a voice vote, the names of the senators and the tally of votes are not recorded.

The least common vote in the Senate is a division (or standing) vote. If a senator is in doubt about the outcome of a voice vote, he or she may request a division, whereby the presiding officer counts the senators voting yea and those voting no, to confirm the voice vote. Division votes are also commonly used for votes on treaties.

Finally, much of Senate business is conducted by unanimous consent, in which a measure passes so long as no senator objects.

The outcome of Senate votes are printed in the Congressional Record. The Senate's roll-call votes from the 101st Congress to present are available online.

press9jatv:
Tinubu feared wike abeg

You and your party fear wike too much. He has been tormenting you all this while yet none of you can suspend him. Cowards

Brendaniel:
If speaking the truth means wailing to you then expect more of it...

Check alk your posts. It is always lamentations upon lamentations. Although I like to see you in that situation. MakeI laff, kikikikikikikikikiki!

press9jatv:
Really Tinubu feared wike and the whole world can see here. This is very bad

What is the definition of your word fear?
You are kidding. He did not fear to declare a state of emergency and you think he will fear a single man called Wike who can be implicated and jailed

There is no other option

It will douse the tension. Everyone will keep quiet now.
