@ poster What's your point?

my point is this, do u think according to the section of the constitution above,the vice president should take over power?Or better put,do you think the FEC should declare president Yar'adua incapable?

144. (1) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office, if -

(a) by a resolution passed by two-thirds majority of all the members of the executive council of the Federation it is declared that the President or Vice-President is incapable of discharging the functions of his office; and

(b) the declaration is verified, after such medical examination as may be necessary, by a medical panel established under subsection (4) of this section in its report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

(2) Where the medical panel certifies in the report that in its opinion the President or Vice-President is suffering from such infirmity of body or mind as renders him permanently incapable of discharging the functions of his office, a notice thereof signed by the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall be published in the Official Gazette of the Government of the Federation.

(3) The President or Vice-President shall cease to hold office as from the date of publication of the notice of the medical report pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.

(a) one of whom shall be the personal physician of the holder of the office concerned; and

(b) four other medical practitioners who have, in the opinion of the President of the Senate, attained a high degree of eminence in the field of medicine relative to the nature of the examination to be conducted in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

How could they not know that students will go nuts, Now someone's live is missing,

no written source.But the fact remains that it is true news,actually students yesterday changed the plans and instead decided to be a little violent by blocking the four corner junction in Agbani. All vehicles were with leaves showing solidarity.

The students of the Enugu state university of science and technology plans to go to Enugu Government house with their books as they plan to turn the entrance of the government house to a library where more than ten thousand students will read their books since the government of enugu state have totally refused to pay the lecturers.
On a similar occasion the students are also planning to sue the Esut governing council to court for what the students describe as a bridge of contract.According to the students,by paying their school fees,they have entered into a contract with the school for lectures and certificates on a period of four and five years. These the students said they have not gotten yet but have payed their school fees and have spent five years.

This is total madness.This is madness of the highest order.This is political wickedness,this is gross inhumanity to man.EFCC should know better.If this is true then i think EFCC also need a watch dog.

toba:
If u like vote/boycourt.The result is already known.Rem what happened in ekiti state just 5months ago.Yar adua went to campagne for ONI,he said he would be d 1st gov to rule for 6yrs before d election&after d election didnt it happen?So forget they will rig again

We can change it.Let's just observe with the world.

Sunny_bobo:
Whether u vote or not, results will be announced. I think it is better to vote so that if it eventually boils down to litigation, evidence can be provided to support the argument of rigging.

That is why we want the electoral reform,and that is why we need more interested youths to observe the election.

We will boycott Anambra election if,

Anambra youth observers might boycott anambra election next year if the electoral reform is not successful.This reform is very important for a developing democratic nation like Nigeria where election of the day is a thing of GHANA must go bags.If possible the constitution review should be politically catalyzed so as to give room for a new constitution because i believe that the lawmakers will be wise enough to state in the review of the constitution a process and right of providing a new constitution.

                                             Nigerians call for Soludo's head


                                                       By Daniel Osunkoya

                                                           September 11, 2009

Nigerians have asked security agencies to probe the immediate past governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Chukwuma Soludo, for allowing the banking industry to degenerate to the level it did before the incumbent governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi began a house-cleaning.

In a town hall meeting organised by The Market Ombudsman yesterday in Lagos, where issues pertaining to the banking crisis were discussed, panelists said Mr. Soludo's attitude of covering up the weaknesses in the system (especially those of the five banks whose chief executive officers and managements were fired by Mr. Sanusi), was deceptive and misleading.

The participants therefore called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate Mr. Soludo's contribution to the troubles in the industry.

CBN is culpable

B. Zulu, a stockbroker, said, "If Sanusi had not taken such fast action, there would have been earthquake in the financial industry, which would have affected depositors in a way that would have been difficult to survive.

"Soludo's action is criminal because he actually hid the banks. Instead of confronting them, he treated them like children. And when these banks were sinking he was busy telling us (the public) that they were immune to a global recession that was affecting big banks in developed countries."

Sola Salako, the President of the Consumer Advocacy Forum, who also condemned Mr. Soludo's actions or inactions as it were, said, "The past action by the CBN positioned them as champions in the eyes of the public; whereas, they were just as culpable as the banks."

Capital market suffers

However, Obiamko Ume, a shareholder, argued that the takeover of the affected banks by the CBN should be condemned because the risk that the CBN wanted to manage was not well planned.

"The CBN's action has impacted negatively on the capital market making it impossible for new and existing companies to raise funds from the market," said Mr. Ume.

"The CBN, as a management institution for both micro and macro economy, should have looked for better ways of achieving the same result without grinding the entire country into a halt."

Ope Banwo, the lawyer who anchored the proceedings, promised that the communiqué arrived at by the forum will be passed to the relevant authorities for necessary actions.

Anambra Youth Observers Rejects Prof.Soludo
