don't just mention that shithole called Ibadan here...I just came back from there..
minus Lagos..SWest have a long way to go...
the so called Ibadan is a local Muslim dilapidated city with local ugly and smelling girls, covering leg,hand and head...that place is just a shithole...I just hate that place, God forbid

Dude! Possibly you went to the poorer side of town or you didn't visit ibadan as you claimed.. I was in that town for a year and i criss-crossed the entire town (from the poorer parts to the richer parts).

I have been to Onitsha before and at 1st i wasn't too impressed cuz i met loud, smelly, rude & aggressive set of people people with crappy roads but i kept an open mind because i came there to have fun and celebrate with friends and not to pass judgement on millions of people because of the few that i met on my 1st day. I had good outings later on and if i have the time, i will visit again..

mightyhaze:
oshogbo? I don't tink anybody mentioned oshogbo nor ibadan here. U guys can create a thread on them,..this one is for onitsha,...thank u!

Someone actually brought in Oshogbo...

People just derailed the thread.. Learning history on NL is lot of work...

Like or hate it ,I think Nigeria has the most holidays in the world. We are so blessed that if the festive day falls on a weekend we shift the holiday to a week day. We are happy people we work and enjoy life at the same time.

Nigeria is just blessed with die hard people, even in tribulations the people get stronger

I dont think so!

Judasjudas:
Go full the song with Yoruba ..

Your point??

divinelove:
And the poor teacher remains demoted

You forgot that she had now been dragged into political fights that does not concern her. Nigerian politicians sha!

Amarabae:
are you serious? Hahaha. I mean a clean cow intestine, it gives it a unique taste.
Well you are a man, who do men know about cooking?

Well.. i know that a well cooked cow intestine is delicious!

RuddyFusion:
I pity all the so called legal Lords quoting one case or the other to justify impunity and the disparaging of the institution of the SENATE....

Trouble maker Prof Sagay made an irresponsible statement against the Senate...that one hates the Senate shouldn't make one lose thier sense of decency and descend to the gutters.....

If SGF have no case, why not simply appear and defend himself?

What's the big deal in wearing uniform in Ali's Case?

Is Maju the only saint in Nigeria to run EFCC?....How can one be in acting capacity indefinitely?


HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That is why the red chamber needs to put on its thinking cap and address the loopholes in the constitution and should stop chasing shadows up and down. For example, i dont think there is a law that prevents Magu from acting as chairman of EFCC indefinitely... These are things you address through law making etc..

I can see why most of the senators & congressmen in the USA have a degree in Law..

handsam:
Lol, That lady should also be rewarded with an "Award of Savagery". She utterly humiliated and dragged the dude's ass all over twitter! She even forced the guy to put his acc in Private. #Gosh.

The guy might be contemplating going to 3rd Mainland Bridge r[i]ight now to do the needful[/i].

The "do the needful" part got me rolling on the floor!

Goke7:
and you think this present senate will also confirm a ribadu? you must be joking!

True o! If they cannot confirm Magu, i dont see a way in hell they will confirm Ribadu...

Adminisher:
The Senate needs a subpoena to summon staff of the Presidency. The Executive branch is not under the Executive.
Please if you are not sure don't post. The man is not a minister or MDA staff, he is a personal staff of the President. They can only invite and he can refuse. His appointment did not pass through any screening in the Senate

Thank you very much! i still maintained that the law-makers are illiterates of the laws of the land.. They need to go read up and consult their lawyers very well else they will continue to commit gaffe such as this..

Pavarottii:
Am sure u don't even kknow that the president himsself can be summoned.

He can be summoned or invited because there is a provision for that in the constitution with specific conditions. However, the constitution did not grant them the powers to summon everyone except it had to do with running of the assemblies or creating laws or the person works for govt institution etc. Even with that the summoning had conditions attached to them...So they should follow the laws rather than allow their ego to dictate.

guychidile:
but what is wrong to answer a summon by elected senators...shebi is there any one that is above the law.

They are not the law but they make the law!

hazyfm1:
Now read Roman figure 2 with me: Where does Sagay's office gets its funds from? From Buhari's salary? I don't think so.

I stand to be corrected, please enlighten me

Now you read section 88 carefully and tell us where the summoning of prof. Sagay fits in..

88. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, each House of the National Assembly shall have power by resolution published in its journal or in the Official Gazette of the Government of the Federation to direct or cause to be directed investigation into -

(a) any matter or thing with respect to which it has power to make laws, and

(i) executing or administering laws enacted by National Assembly, and

(ii) disbursing or administering moneys appropriated or to be appropriated by the National Assembly.

You skipped section 88.. Please re-paste the whole info!

adioolayi:
Senate on a long thing!

Hahahaha! on a very loooooooooooooonnnnggg thing! The man schooled them!

signz:
Thank you very much.

The Senate can order the IG to arrest him and drag him to Senate.

Nope! That guy quoted the end of that section.. He decided to skip section 88 which clearly states under which condition that the senate can summon someone..

cktheluckyman:
Chai very apt and someone who calls himself a professor of law doesn't know this.Maybe he attended midnight law class

Read from Section 88 to understand his position sir. Point 89 cannot be read out of context..

timota:
how fast is buhari u think saraki is as dull as that before u count 1 to 5 saraki would be through with him and the impeachment concluded

I laugh in 3D... and you think someone that became a general during a war or that has control of all the security apparatus of the country is stupid..abi?? kontinue

timota:
And the senate can impeach the president rem that

If they can get 2/3 of the required votes.

Remember that most of them are criminals with many pending cases.. The executive will simply expedite actions and they all dont have immunity against arrest and prosecution.

They will not have the yansh to sit in one place to impeach someone by the time the executive finish with them. They are lucky they are not dealing with that old tout called OBJ..

Chibokgame:
This Is Becoming Interesting . So One Man Is Now Bigger Than The Whole Senate . I Am Watching

At all.. He simply referred them to the document (Nigerian constitution) that they are supposed to know by heart..

He should school them very well..

Dejijossy:
May you live long PROF!

I wish they summon Oby Ez they would have received a shock of their live

They won't she is not receiving salary from the govt and so they have no hold on her!

cktheluckyman:
Very well, there will be further confirmation of any executive nominees by the Senate, hence no new appointment by buhari until this "yeye" Senate is appeased

That will be funny because the executive can also hold them by the balls by not releasing funds... since they have decided not to do their constitutional duties

cktheluckyman:
Erudite my as.s.Professor Sagay is a very big disgrace to the legal profession. Since his appointment into the buhari's government, he seemed to have lost it.His end is near.It is either he and magu goes or the Senate will completely cripple buhari's regime.The choice is his

Then all lawyers are big disgrace to the legal profession according to your logic. If we go by your logic, then rapists, murderers etc should not have lawyers defending them or representing them in courts. smh!

LionDeLeo:
Good one there. I doubt if most of them even know their job.

Sadly! They don't know their jobs... They go around summoning people that they do not have the powers to summon.. They are truly overreaching their functions..

Bloody illiterates law-makers!

samsard:
Unfortunately Nairalanders are private citizens, not public officials handling important posts.

and what post is he occupying to warrant standing in front of the senators?

AceSkillz01:
He must honor the invitation or face arrest

Arrest who? On what ground?

Just like the way they arrested Diezani & NOI when they ignored them?

TheFreeOne:
Sagay is not helping this government at all with his volatile utterances.

He's part of those praise singers Sanusi accused of being Buhari undoing.

He is not bound to honor the invitation... Senate should use their time constructively to make laws that will help the people they are representing...

Moreover, the Nigerian constitution needs lot of work and i think they should focus on that

kYjelly2:
It can be so frustrating at times owning a car in Nigeria.

Just this past Sunday, I was pulled over by those new 112 squad cars along lekki epe expressway.

They just came down and started searching my whole car. I kept asking them, what is my offence

They said they were mandated to stop and search.

What kind of b.s is that

How can you just be stopping cars randomly, who does that

So you can't pull over drivers driving on the wrong lane, those using cell phones, those driving one way, those buses stopping in the middle of the road causing accidents...

Instead, you pull over someone driving legally within his lane, using all appropriate turn signals when changing lanes, all for what To search my car

These guys are all useless.

Ehya! Sorry o!

I have also maintained that the powers given to Nigerian law enforcement officers are way too much... We seriously need to review the constitution of this country. Lot of frivolities and vague powers that people in power can interpret to cheat and get away without any consequence(s)!

In a sane country, that 2shotz would have been arrested.


How can someone just flatten a woman's breast like that it's uncalled for and an abuse.


It hurts me when ever I see beverly Osu' breast. T[b]hey just like fried eggs placed on a chest[/b]

Haaa!

NwamaziNwaAro:
Expired Oloshos..


My heart goes out to Beverly Osu's downtrodden flattened mammary glands..


2Shotz did a good job.


He flattened it like a Julius Berger excavator tyre

Smh... Dude! i dey work oo!
