@OP, your argument here is full of fundamental flaws. When Buhari was ordering the killings of unarmed civilians and even made bold to uphold the killings of these civilians through his statement when he was interviwed by Ajezeera, you guys were applauding and cheering him on. Little did you guys know that the world was watching. Now, that the heat is now on him by ICC you type has suddenly retracted your steps and started seeking for unity to fight a fictitious enemy. Buhari has done a lot of damage within his tenure.The country is more divided than ever by his divisive actions and his dictatorial excesses. I wonder the kind of unity you're seeking now when the damage has already been done. Furthermore, you should be preaching this to the families of those that lost their love ones by the brutality of the Nigerian army; they are the ones that petitioned him to ICC. Maybe the may have a rethink if they know that u're among those that lost their lives.

The country is on the contrary more united. I am sorry if u or some groups do not feel like they belong but i am sure everyone here knows that we are all Africans first. And by the way Nigeria left the ICC. Nigeria is a soverign state and do not answer to the ICC. They know this. They can only accuse and demand. They cannot do anything about it.

The problem her is that Buhari is taking our systems and means of production and nationalizing them. This would not sit well with the west as they depend on this to milk nigeria until we become zimbwabwe. But everyone knows them. Buhari is not answerable to the west because we do not depend on western aid. We depend on oil which belongs to us. So while they can do that rubbish in Mali, Chad they cannot do that here.
They are simply looking for a reason to invade and sieze the oil wells. They have done this everywhere. But in Africa it is different. It is not abouyt oil for us, it is about freedom.

To all of you out there who still believe U.S.A is ur ally. We are all currently watching idlely while U.S.A/Britain Invades Nigeria. They are currently in Stage 3. They have secured the Northern Boarder and oil [AFRICOM], they are moving to secure the southern boarder [Cambridge Press coming to Nigeria to help the 'uneducated children'] We have been uneducated since 1950's no one cares.
BACK TO SLAVERY UNLESS U SAY NO

Op, you are not feeling well. I think you should go and eat...

Why are your creating an imaginary enemy for yourself thinking they are after you to devour you...

Which USA is trying to invade you and control your oil wells? When there is OPEC and USA is an oil country?

What do you expect from a zombie when he will always find an imaginary enemy to blame , despise and hold on to when the heat is too much for his dullard that he made his president.

For your information justice must be served if buhari your Messiah is found wanting by the ICC he should go and serve his calling. Stop dragging innocent Nigerians to his predicament.

USA is a Nigeria ally and not an enemy until Nigeria makes him one which Nigerians will totally kick against.

U.S.A Is not a a Nigerian ally. We invented the "Look East Agenda". So u believe U.S.A likes u? They support the PDP corrupt environment because while it starves everyone else in the country it benefits them and a few Nigerians. And seriously anyone supporting PDP is really selfish.
AFRICOM is camped on ur Yobe borders, ICC is here sniffing around. Go ask the Syrians, Libyians, Sudan, Iran, Iraq how they now live with their "Ally" the U.S.A.
U can enslave ur child if u like. I am not enslaving mine.

I would have voted him if he did all these for me!

I'm a nigerian for Christ sake, why wunt I vote for him if he allows me lift crude without paying kobo!

You too have a yes from me, to the finals of "africans are clueless"

Extremely clueless. It is such a pity. We will give up our birth rights in this world and our children will be born slaves. It is a pity.

goodmorning40:
It depends who he is paired with

GEJ can come back as Vice. Not president. He does not have the wit. Like I wont vote osibanjo as president. African nations need strong willed people with military experience. Democracy is not for Africa. So GEJ will be using our country to play tennis with the west. NO THANKS

Everyone must understand the consequences of this. Because right now, America is out there slurring Buhari to justify the invasion to save Nigeria's hungry children.

Whether or not we break up or stay together is our business. And i strongly suggest that all ethnic regions in Nigeria spend their time and money now creating politically stable, economic independent and self-sufficient states. So even if we do agree to break up, No region would be open for exploitation from the west.

Our common foe is U.S.A, EU, BRITAIN, FRANCE. Africans are not fighting for oil, we are fighting for freedom. We will take hunger, starvation over western imperialism anyday. Even the dying child u r coming to save will tell them exactly the same thing. AFRICA, NIGERIANS, ARISE!!!!! BE ON UR GUARDS FOR THE LEECHES ARE COMING.

Sunnynwa:
Chai, Imo state fall my hand. Abagworo, any explanation?

I dey tell u. supremacists at the bottom

I felt obliged to write this column before my lunch break. I woke up today to the brutal slur from the western media on our great Nigeria. This pattern seems all to familiar to me and i felt i needed to say something. CREATE PROBLEM TO DISTABILZE >> JUSTIFY INVASION BY OFFERING TO HELP >> TAKE CONTROL OF OIL WELLS AND OIL RIGS >> TAKE CONTROL OF STATE.

I mean if you doubt me, look at Libya, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and so many of them. All with the simple cause of having something that Britain and America wants and are not willing to pay for.

For Nigerians, it our turn. The time has come for the U.S.A/EU to capture our oil wells and they desperately need a reason to justify their invasion. But we are different. For many black African nations this is a regression to the days of political slavery. The US/EU has been in control of our nation for a long time through the slimmy corruption of PDP. This corrupt environment created a favourable business center for foreign nations. China, US, EU etc. We, Nigerians are on the center stage of the world for the freedom of the African people. If we fail this test, we have ineffectively re-enslaved the entire African continent.

As the Americans move in closer, the rhetoric is "President Buhari is a Human rights defaulter", "Nigeria is filled with dying and hungry children because he has refused to take assistance from the IMF", "We must intervene to help those children", "We must act now", "The Nigerian crisis is a Global threat and it affects us all", "Let us send in support to curb this". The CIA, NATO, American Marine, American Army, MI6, RFA, American Air Force, all swoop in to help the hungry Nigerian Child.
Well Nigerians have been hungry for years no one cared. We have lived in poverty no one cares. When we go to their lands they call us third world citizens, the demonize and disenfranchise us. They say we are local animals and primates.

Let us not forget as Africans those who worked and died for this. Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Kwame ture, Fela Kuti, Ken-Saro Wiwa, Nelson Mandela, Ghadaffi. We must understand that we fight a different battle. We do not fight for oil or resources but for freedom. This is no longer about just us Nigerians, this is about Africa. In the 1950's Ghana carried this responsibility and now we are. I believe Nigeria is the path to total freedom of African Nations.

As our first non neo-colonialist govt, the West is strongly against our absolute freedom. We must now get over our tribal differences, what ever they may be and tackle the common enemy. We will take hunger and starvation any day over western slavery. We have fought so hard, so many good men have been wasted and all our good and true African leaders have been terminated. We must peacefully say NO to this attempt of American/EU Invasion. We may hate each other but our common enemy approaches, lets us spread this news across Africa and the web.

The ICC is currently snooping around in Nigeria and AFRICOM is camped on our borders. No one has probed the U.S.A for their crimes against mankind or the Germans for the Namabian Genocide or the British against 400 years of exploitation and slavery or the French for taxing countries like Mali, Cameroon, Niger and Burkina Faso.

We are Africans First and in the words of Kwame Nkrumah, "Our freedom is meaningless if all African nations are not free." STOP THE JUSTIFICATION FOR INVASION.

DonMaxxy:
Very soon, PMB will learn the difference between "June" and "July", "Military dictatorship" and "Democracy", "1983 Nigeria" nd "2016 Nigeria".

No president toils with the senate any where in the world. I bet he will learn all these through the hard way.

Good morning PMB, welcome to Nigeria. No one is indispensable here, not even you. Ask the man named GEJ, he lives in Otuoke; he will tell you more.

Pmb knows this. That is d only reason saraki is still in that chair.

Luckylife:
The National Assemble ought to have check and scrutinise the conditions of this deals before the president signing anything.

Which National Assembly? That one or another one you hid somewhere? Mstweee. I am actually disappointed in you OP. That u believe that ur National Assemble has the intellectual capacity to access international trade deals and foreign exchange market...

THEIR TAUGHT HE COULD GO FREE IF HE CHANGES A LAW THAT WAS A CRIME WHEN HE COMMITTED HIS OFFENCE TO A NON-CRIMINAL LAW NOW [A FUTURE DATE]. BUT HE HAS ALREADY COMMITTED THE OFFENCE WHEN IT WAS A CRIME.

That is living proof of the daftness, stupidity, dullness, illiteracy and ... really lost of words..

People in this country ehnn na wa oo? In what country on earth can any civilian or group of civilians simply waltz into the presidential house? In Nigeria we can even come near the gates. Go to Russian Kremlin and try being 6 feet from the font gates. SMH. Nigerians. I wonder if you guys process information before u say them.

Lazy

odikimi:
It won't have any effect on Saraki's case. It is a trite principle of law that, the rules of court in effect when a matter comes up is what the court will use in deciding the case. The rules of court here is the ACJA. Rules of court is a procedural law and not substantive law. The Rules applicable now will be used to decide his case and not the prospective rules.
My argument is about the principle of "retrospective in criminal trial".

Yeah I know "Ex post Factor law". Why I decided to be quiet was bcoz I was astounded at Saraki's stupidity. What Saraki is doing would work if it were done the other way around. For example, African Nations cannot Sue Britain for slave trade because Slave Trade was not a crime at the time. If Slave trade were a crime and then it was now made "not" a crime [like what saraki is doing] we can sue to every last bone. Saraki is the dumbest person I have seen. And when we are done with Saraki, Dino Maleye. He and Saraki are the corrupt eggs in that senate

kropotkin2:
Presidential vetoes are very difficult to override. If Buhari decides to veto the law which i know he will,there is no way saraki can muster the 240 house of reps votes to override the veto. Also laws passed by the national assembly have to wait for 21 days before they can have the force of law. So during this period, the president has the power to return the bill to the national assembly informing them about his reservations about it and why he cannot assent to it. They are then forced to reexamine it, and take a vote again. This window gives the president to exercise his leverage and power to either get it shot down or altered. So you see there are so many political games the the president can play to get his way. In a presidential system, the national assembly is no match for the executive even if they are from a different party and you are here busy screaming "Hail saraki". Also underestimate Tinubu's power at your peril

I laugh. They do not even know who they are dealing with. Saraki is lucky that Tinubu has converted Buhari, he would have ben executed in the gallows since. Saraki thinks this is that PDP rule that he can do what he likes and get away with it. Buhai is free to do whatever he likes to Saraki. His human rights can be violated, we do not mind. The people are with Buhari on this. I will be AGAINST buhari if he does not eject Saraki. Saraki violated our human rights by disregarding us.

gebest:
Saraki is smarter than APC, he is currently spending on the senators, if APC refused to spend money like Saraki is doing PDP will take over d National Assembly

Dosen't our constitution allow for "Ex post Facto law"?

omenka:
This is nothing but treason. These criminals constitute a bigger threat to our democracy than anything else in this country.

These people need to be eliminated. Simply because they do not see what they have done wrong..

Kylekent59:
Na customize scam b dis. I also knw what dey are planning. Cus at first Nigerians will be rejoicing but it has an effect also. Pdp members just dey laugh on dis one.

PDP members that cannot define "Foreign Exchange" do they even know what the real economic meaning of "Exchange Rate" is? or they just know what it does?

GworoChewinMaga:
Why must you yorubas think any aggitator from the Niger Delta is an IPOB?

You people are as myopic as ever to think the Niger Delta people are happy being under the yoke of occupation and exploitation.

Pls go to any Niger Delta state and shout your rubbish Sai baba and get the much deserved beating of your life.

We know they are not happy. But they are also not tribalistic people. We hope they are able to see beyond to the real problems of Nigeria which is really not tribal but political. We have had corrupt leaders who failed to pass appropriate laws and manage our resources and environment properly. And that is what we need to be tackiling. Niger Delta must be specifically managed. The area needs a community leader who really cares about the people. They have that in Lagos and North. Niger Delta needs to stop playing victims and stand up and demand it. Not to break up but to have control over the use of their resources and environment. All oil producing states have to do this. Because if we do not there will be grudges. [Not PDP/past PDP leadeer plz. Thanks]

pedrilo:
I'm sick of this govt already!

NASS is causing trouble. They r not looting any money oh. Even they do Bukola Saraki must not

maupe:
I don't think there is much of a disagreement. The NASS should just take a united front and go along with the Senate's decision. The Executive should pass the budget into effect, and should include in a supplementary budget, anything it feels is important to its developmental projects. What it should not do, is create confusion and chaos in the legislature. This would be totally unforgivable, and would in the future, come around to bite them.

They cannot Because Bukola Saraki must loot. U pple do not who Bukola Saraki is. He will never let that budget pass unless he can loot.

What has Buhari done to the western countries again?

MrsPhyno:
Hehehe my sentiment exactly. The youth should volunteer to clean..... the roads..... of all things
What a waste of bright young minds and energetic bodies.

The government should give people jobs mate, and if not people should hustle. Some of the hustle can be helping the environment/community, but the lastttt thing you should ever do is volunteer to sweep a useless road somewhere. That's not even development, that's taking away a janitorial/sanitation job from someone who would get paid for it.

You are not doing it forever. And it doesn't have to be clean roads, it can be anything that needs doing that u can do.

chriskosherbal:
It may not be a bad idea to contribute to development, but the government should provide the needed platform.

Ok what if we come up with state groups with youths ready to contibute and i believe the government will be interested. I do not believe we should be sitting down doing nothing. This is once chance we have. Let us start something. I think it will not only boost morale but eas of a bit of tension. sitting around. We can do as little as we can.

There is a certain youth group in Nigeria that everyone here agrees with me needs an immediate educational scheme. These people think it is alright to fling our borders open to forign imports and give foreign companies the rights to drill all our resources provided the party they like is in power. I once saw a post "We must stop the construction of rail road in Bayelsa because Jonathan did not do it so if Buhari does it it will be a shame. So we cannot let that happen." This is the height of a dangerous combination of Hatred, Illiteracy, Ego and self-centeredness. We Nigerian youths I think it is our duty to help out in a strategic way. It will be good for progress. I am not a party advocate, I just want every youth in this country to think strategically.

GworoChewinMaga:
If that is the case the expect Nigearians and Chadians to vote in 2019 and for northern population to increase by 50%!

But it is being put forward by a pdp state. so u guys are contradicting urself

IPOB if this is you, just saying oo might not b, but if it is u in disguise you do know that it is igbos who do not have oil. So western Interests currently lie with the North and the Oil states in d south and west. FYI if u pple do not go with d oil states isreal will not accept u again as isrealites. Just saying.

coolscott:
All it has is ours? Complete nonsense.
Maybe their wives and children are ours too.
And why can't they claim all we have is theirs. They educated us, taught us to read and write e.t.c, e.t.c.?

that is why we cannot allow people like u take political positions in this country. Imperialist and brain washed africans still carrying the remnants of colonialism with them around. Because if u do, u r likely to sell this nation out to colonial western exploiters.

I took a look at the website. That is Not world Visa Index, That is U.S.A's visa index. That is one country's perspective of who they want in their country. I don't know why when the US/EU are involved in things that do not concern anybody else the call it "World". War between European countries "World" War I, war between european countries again "World" War II, U.S.A dollar crashes "Global" Financial Crisis, U.S.A annoys Iraq and Iran "International" Threat, U.S.A military base in Nigeria AFRICOM "Regional" Peace. Mstwee

Who told u that the chinese want germans in their countries first? Americans should go to Russia now see what happens. Please!!!!

who lives in PH? Is this true?

enlightenedmind:
I have been thinking of how the youth of this country can put in our own work into the efforts of the current govt? We need to help. We cannot sit on our asses and expect china to build our economy for us. How about something like a scheme of National Independent development. Where young people come out on weekends to contribute to infrastructural development? In anyway that we can. We can set up clean up groups, in each states at least on Saturdays? Or anything come up with Ideas.

We are just sitting and wailing. Do we go ahead? Who is on board? Just 1 rep per state to see what they can do in their states.

No One? Really? Guys please
