ABUJA- SENATE President Bukola Saraki who appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT following a 13- count charge against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau, over alleged falsification of assets he admitted, said Tuesday that if he was not the Senate President, he would not be going through the present trial. In a statement tilted, “As I Appear Before The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)” he personally signed Tuesday night, Senate President Bukola Saraki who noted that his appearance before the CCT was a demonstration of his believe in rule of law and respect for the judiciary, said, “Today, I appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for the commencement of my trial in a case concerning the asset declaration form I filled in 2003 after I have explored the opportunity to defend my fundamental human rights in other courts. “My appearance in court today once again demonstrates my belief in the rule of law and respect for the judiciary of our country. “As I stated while taking the plea in the case, I reiterate my belief that the only reason while I am going through this trial is because I am Senate President. If I were to be just a Senator, I doubt if anybody will be interested in the asset declaration form I filled over twelve years ago. “This belief stems from the fact that Section 3 (d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act provides that If there is a breach or non-compliance with any section of the law, the person involved should be given the opportunity to either admit or deny and that in the case of a written admission, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. So, If the CCB had followed the guidelines, procedure or the due process provided in its own law, we won’t be having this trial. “It is my humble opinion that this case is a vivid example that there is still flagrant disregard for due process in our polity. This trial is not only being observed by Nigerians alone, the international community is watching because Nigeria is a key member of this community. So, the executive, legislature and judiciary should do the right thing that will truly demonstrate that we have imbibed the spirit of positive change. “It is however necessary for me to thank my colleagues in the Senate for the solid support and solidarity they demonstrated for me. I also thank my counsel for the brilliance they have shown in presenting our case and the supporters who were present in the Tribunal in their hundreds. I want to assure you that I am innocent of all the charges and will clear my name in due course. “May God continue to bless our country.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/i-am-being-prosecuted-because-i-am-senate-president-saraki/ |
“YOU know I am not very happy with Nigeria. I have made that very clear on many occasions. Yes, Nigeria stood by us more than any nation, but you let yourselves down, and Africa and the black race very badly. Your leaders have no respect for their people. They believe that their personal interests are the interests of the people. They take people’s resources and turn it into personal wealth. There is a level of poverty in Nigeria that should be unacceptable. I cannot understand why Nigerians are not more angry than they are. “What do young Nigerians think about your leaders and their country and Africa? Do you teach them history? Do you have lessons on how your past leaders stood by us and gave us large amounts of money? You know I hear from Angolans and Mozambicans and Zimbabweans how your people opened their hearts and their homes to them. I was in prison then, but we know how your leaders punished western companies who supported Apartheid. “What about the corruption and the crimes? Your elections are like wars. Now we hear that you cannot be president in Nigeria unless you are Muslim or Christian. Some people tell me your country may break up. Please don’t let it happen. “Let me tell you what I think you need to do. You should encourage leaders to emerge who will not confuse public office with sources of making personal wealth. Corrupt people do not make good leaders. Then you have to spend a lot of your resources for education. “Educate children of the poor, so that they can get out of poverty. Poverty does not breed confidence. Only confident people can bring changes. Poor, uneducated people can also bring change, but it will be hijacked by the educated and the wealthy...give young Nigerians good education. Teach them the value of hard work and sacrifice, and discourage them from crimes which are destroying your image as a good people.” (Excerpts taken from a 2007 interview with Mandela conducted by Dr Hakeem Baba- Ahmed). https://www./mandela-nigeria-golden-words-ever-true-abraham-durosawo?redirectFromSplash=true |

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Yakubu Dogara, has called on Nigerian Christian community, particularly those in North East states to forgive members of the Boko Haram Islamist sect. He stressed that the country could only make meaningful development when Nigerians begin to forgive one another. He noted that although people’s sources of livelihood and churches were destroyed during the fiery days of the insurgents, the Christian community should, in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, forgive and look forward to better times. The Speaker, who is the first northern minority Christian from the core north to hold the highest political office in Nigeria, made this appeal yesterday in Abuja at the Christian Ecumenical Centre, during the diamond anniversary lecture of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria. Dogara re-affirmed the right of every Nigerian to subscribe freely to any religion of his choice as long as it suits his or her conscience. According to him: “The need for sober reflection is particularly important for us in Nigeria, especially in the North-eastern states of Nigeria, where the terrorist group, Boko Haram, which of late, has been flaunting its association with the world terror group, the Islamic State (ISIS), has targeted not only the Church, but also Mosques, children, women and indeed, the entire society, in mindless terror, death and destruction of all that we hold dear. “The rights of our people as entrenched in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) as amended, to worship and choose their religion has been violated by the terrorists, who left no one in doubt that they want everyone to follow their ways. “What are the lessons for us today in Nigeria? Christians would need to forgive those who, especially in the last six years, have promoted, strengthened and supported the massive destruction that the Church and others had suffered in the hands of the Boko Haram. But, where else lies the footstep of the saviour except in forgiving? History has shown that the blood of saints cannot be shed in vain.” The Speaker called on clergymen to live above board and be actively involved in nation-building, noting that Christian leaders should not look up to the world for leadership. “The Church must never look to the world for leadership; rather, the world should look to the Church for leadership,” he stated. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/forgive-boko-haram-speaker-of-the-house-asks-nigerians/

Nobody is selling his Infinix hot note pro... I use one. I tell you, the device rocks..... |
And they all paid off, haters..... |
Phones now eat rice. When mine happened, I brought it out of the water, switched it off. After that I loosed the phone. Detached the battery. Because the battery is attached to the phone. There after I used fuel to clean the panel with a tooth brush. I exposed it to the sun to dry up for about 40 mins and after that I screwed it back. Guess what, I typed this message with the same phone. For the records, it's an infinix hot note pro |
Did Obasanjo talk about himself going to jail as well? I hope he goes to prison on the account of the Halliburton scandal during his administration. Whatever happened then happened under his watch as the Chief executive of the Federation. He should give account of the petroleum sector he manned for 8 years as the Minister for the whole duration of his administration. Good for the goose, good for the gender. |
This kind story dey turn Belle. |
Am a Biafran already.. And u can't do anything about it... |
Na God Win. Man propose, God disposes. |
I will appreciate Buhari's anti corruption crusade only if it's not one sided and if it's not aimed at some selected persons. Past administration's should be looked into as well. Hence, his aims of total restructuring restructuring would be defeated. With the way he keeps mentioning Jonathan, it leaves me wondering if the likes of Babangida, Abdulsalam, Abacha, Atiku., Obasanjo, are all Saints. Let this change be a holistic one. |
Please, swing into action and quit the talking.
When will u ever get to walk? |

Radio Biafra is live and direct in igwocha (ph). Call any of your friends in igwocha to confirm for u. The station is on 102.1 FM band. Nnamdi, is airing now. The zoo can't stop us. They don't have the technology to do so. They buy technology, we manufacture ours to upgrade. We are formidable. |
It has now entered the official category of “ridiculous,” and possibly, the potential of impeachable constitutional breach. Nearly two months after his inauguration, President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to constitute and announce an executive council. This is a serious breach of presidential power. To be clear, it is a constitutionally grey area, what time limits a president has, before he could present his cabinet to the National Assembly. While the constitution is silent on this issue, it is nevertheless clear that Nigeria shall be governed by an executive branch of government comprising the president with an executive council of state. The executive council as prescribed by the constitution is not a rubber stamp council, nor is it a cosmetics cabinet, or merely part of the furniture of presidential power in a presidential system of government; the president and the Federal Executive Council is the full and constitutional executive authority of the federal government of Nigeria, with full executive function, at the head of which is the elected president. The president, following his election is required to appoint the council, and in the appointment of the nation’s National Executive Council, to be broadly inclusive, and to reflect federal character. There is purpose to every constitutional requirement. Two important aspects of what may now possibly constitute the breach of the constitution by this president, and with impeachable possibilities is that the president of Nigeria has failed to establish an executive government since his inauguration close to sixty days and has been governing alone, like a tyrant, with no recourse to conciliar input. This is the meaning of absolutism. This president is governing as an absolute president. The president is taking fundamentally weighty decisions on behalf of this republic, largely with a small inner circle of presidential staff, and these decisions, in the nearly sixty days of this presidency have implications for the federation. The president has entered a potentially dangerous area: he has absorbed and assumed every leverage of authority, and is acting as his own adviser and ministers in all the most important areas of executive action. It is a breach of the constitution that requires that every president shall act based on the authority and advise of his ministerial council, which the constitution mandates him to appoint, but whose function the president is never to absorb. The law requires the president to appoint a council of ministers to fully constitute the executive authority of the land otherwise the government does not exist. Failure to do that, presumably is a willful breach of the constitution which the president swore to uphold. It is grounds also for assessment of his competence and preparedness to govern. It is within the mandate of the National Assembly to make that call; that is to determine that the president has shown incompetence and lack of preparedness to assume full authority of presidential power held in trust for the nation. On determining that the president is incompetent, the rule of law requires the National Assembly to proceed with the impeachment of the president. There is surely enough ground at this very moment, to begin to question the president’s mental preparedness to govern. A president who, nearly two months after, has yet to write and notify the National Assembly and present a list of the ministers of his government, certainly presents a unique problem, and gives profound cause to worry, and grounds to question his competence and mental readiness. It raises issues of accountability. Perhaps it hacks back to Buhari’s background as a military head of government, and his greater comfort in the pyramidal structure of authority, with him perched at the top of the pyramid, rather than the roundtable of council government. In the executive council, even though he is the head of the executive branch, and even though all those who sit in that roundtable serve at his pleasure, the president is more a choirmaster than a Regimental Sergeant Major. His ministers are independent authorities. Once appointed to the Executive Council, they are equal in a system that makes the president head of the executive, but still primus inter pares with his ministers. Like them, he has one vote. In other words, in a constitutional democracy, and in the presidential system, the president does not have absolute power; his power is distributed and diffuse, and is embedded in the power of the council. To act outside and above the executive council, is to brook overreach, and act in the manner of the character in the Igbo fable of power called, “Eze-Onye-Agwanam” – the tyrant who listens only to his own voice. And Buhari has been listening only to his own voice. The nation is in shambles. There is no clear policy direction almost sixty days after the inauguration of the new government: no economic policy; no foreign policy; no clear national defence policy. Nigeria’s domestic policy under this president remains unclear because no one has articulated it, nor is there any clear political direction in the system. Ministerial authority is constitutionally necessary to classify, legitimize and give accent to every decision of government, and generally put a hand on the lever of public governance. In delaying the appointment of ministers, and presenting them to the National Assembly for confirmation, Buhari has postponed every act of government, or at the very least, slowed down the activity of government. The effect is confusion at the very center of the federal government. The Naira continues to slide dangerously; the president certainly is not receiving any clear economic advise, nor is there any clear action plan to address Nigeria’s economic reality. This is driving prices up; drying out the circulation of money, creating uncertainty, and putting Nigerians mentally and physically at great risk. Various contractual obligations are on a hold because investors do not yet know the shape of Nigeria’s economic policies. Many jobs have been lost as a result. Fewer still have been created. Nigeria may soon face the Greece situation. The president’s dawdling over the appointment of ministers has real time effect, and it is a capital mess. Let us say, for instance, that we have another Ebola scare, how does the Federal Ministry of Health, respond without its political leadership? Who would direct the coordination of disaster relief in the case of a national health emergency? Bureaucrats do not act outside of political directives. The president presumably has assumed the role of the Minister for Defence. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/president-buhari-only-listening-and-talking-to-himself/#sthash.BAl0UxCQ.dpuf |
