"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan TimeManager: |
TimeManager:Funny how you are now turning to the same Senate to help push your tyrannical bill |
TimeManager:In a sane country Buhari would have been serving a life sentence for treason after he overthrew Shagari and not be a recycled despot elected to lead you in the 21st century. |
This thread is a snapshot at your average Almajiri zombie idiot. If a coup is staged today and Buhari is toppled what will you fools say then? |

I wonder why this one even bothered voting when he could have joined boko haram to overthrew GEJ and install Buhari in his place? vault: |

We owe Shakespeare a lot in re branding the wannabe dictator Julius Caeser into a Roman martyr. According to Shakespeare, whose plays were bankrolled by the British Crown, Brutus and Casius were not only traitors but treacherous fellows of the worst kind who assassinated Julius Caeser in cold blood. While Shakespeare did acknowledge Brutus' motives in assassinating Caeser (for Brutus stated that Rome must remain a democratic Republic) Shakespeare failed to portray Caeser in his true colors. Caeser's ambition to transform the Republic to his personal Kingdom was doused by Shakespeare who wanted us to believe that the Roman proletarian class were the ones urging Caeser to assume maximum powers as Rome's first despotic ruler. When Caeser crossed the Rubicon river, he did this not as a showcase of his military conquest of Gaul in a victory parade in Rome but as a final putsch towards assuming supreme powers and authority over Rome. This is how the idiom "Crossing the Rubicon" came about which means to pass a point of no return. Julius Caesar uttered the famous phrase "alea iacta est"—the die is cast as his army marched through the shallow river - an act which was considered an insurrection and treasonable offence. Caeser's deliberate act of treason which he committed by Crossing the Rubicon was premeditated and well planned towards seizing power for himself and bringing to an end the Roman democratic tradition . Even the word "cease" owes it's origin to Julius Ceaser. Now why will Shakespeare distort history in his plays? Well, Shakespeare happened to have enjoyed a very generous annual pension from the British Crown and patronage among the English nobility during his time. There are even speculations that Shakespeare may not have authored most of his plays. Around 230 years after Shakespeare's death, doubts began to be expressed about the authorship of the works attributed to him. Proposed alternative candidates include Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, and Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. The Elizabethan era began the erosion of monarchial powers with mounted pressure by some members of the political class demanding the Monarchy assume ceremonial roles. It is thus not coincidental that Shakespeare will rewrite the history of ancient Rome in an attempt to portray the Roman Senate as treacherous. Shakespeare's caricature depiction of Casius as sickly and bent was a personification of democracy and the legislative powers of elected officials above that of the Monarchy. The final outcome of Caeser's attempt at assuming full maximum powers is that Rome ceased to be a democracy, a civil war ensued and the man Caeser died and with him the glory of a democratic Republic of Rome. Just like Shakespeare (or his nobility muse) we have today a very active propaganda machinery desperate at un-bundling the Senate and ushering in a despotic ruler. |
TimeManager:And what exactly are the excesses of the Senate? That they refused to pass Buhari's padded budget or denied him more powers that he is constitutionally not permitted? If it's about funding, then know the Senate is far cheaper to run than the current Aso Rock. If you APC zombies feel the Senate has outlived it's relevance then I strongly suggest you either start the process of recalling all your APC senators who form the majority in the same Senate and control it's leadership or you can simply inform your party not to fill in any candidate for the Senate. |
TimeManager:The Enabling Act of 1933 was passed as a temporary measure to give Hitler unprecedented powers to solve the myriad of problems plaguing the German nation chief of which was the economic recession Germany was facing! Despots have always sought legitimacy and popular support to ride to the top and it usually follows the path of suspending or subverting the constitution and claiming popular support among the majority (a hallmark of democracy). From Julius Caeser to Hitler to Morsi to Buhari popular support and suspension of constitutional rights has always been their hallmark. Democracy has a way of ushering in charlatans and despots especially among the most naive and ignorant society. |
TimeManager:And which referendum did you conduct before arriving at this obvious lie? |
AntiWailer:Zombie |
Today they are going after the Senate |
[s] TimeManager:[/s] Rubbish as usual. Why did you leave the part where your ab0ki masters were clamouring for Buhari to be given supreme powers?
|
We are afraid to go back to our ancestral homeIf you can not defend and lay claim to your property then it was never yours to begin with. Bloody idiot |
TimeManager:How you found a way to sneak ipob into this thread beats me? |
AntiWailer:The democratic process you enjoy today is alien to your culture and owes it's inception from the Grecko-Roman era. Over 2,000 yrs before even your Nigeria was created by an alien white man, some people had already perfected democracy as a form of governance. Their triumphs and pitfalls are researched and studied by political scientists till this day in order to avoid the same mistakes they made or learn from their success. But a buharists zombie like yourself will think the world began on may 29th 2015! |
AntiWailer:History does not repeat itself. It is men who fail to consult history who keep repeating history and blaming her for their woes. |
The Enabling Act was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave the German Cabinet – in effect, Chancellor Adolf Hitler – the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. It passed in both the Reichstag and Reichsrat on 23 March 1933, and was signed by President Paul von Hindenburg later that day. The act stated that it was to last four years unless renewed by the Reichstag, which occurred twice. The Enabling Act gave Hitler plenary powers. It followed on the heels of the Reichstag Fire Decree, which abolished most civil liberties and transferred state powers to the Reich government. The combined effect of the two laws was to transform Hitler's government into a legal dictatorship. The formal name of the Enabling Act was Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich (Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich). It was enacted by the Reichstag (meeting at the Kroll Opera House), where non-Nazi members were surrounded and threatened by members of SA and SS. The Communists had already been repressed and were not able to vote, and some Social Democrats were kept away as well. In the end, nearly all of those present voted for the act, except for the Social Democrats, who voted against it. |

citygarden:Without Saraki's nPDP your ungodly APC alliance would have resulted in another failed Buhari candidacy. It is no secret that the PDP lost the last election because it imploded upon itself with individuals like Saraki leading the destruction of the PDP and paving way for Buhari and the APC. The likes of Saraki not only threw his political weight behind a Buhari candidacy but also funded Buhari's campaign. The only ingrates here are Buhari and his hounds of Abacha era cronies who did little or nothing towards ensuring a Buhari candidacy win at the polls . |

The official ministry of information has since been moved to BMC, Utako |
Under the Act, the government had acquired the authority to pass laws without either parliamentary consent or control. These laws could (with certain exceptions) even deviate from the Constitution. The Act effectively eliminated the Reichstag as active players in German politics. While its existence was protected by the Enabling Act, for all intents and purposes it reduced the Reichstag to a mere stage for Hitler's speeches. It only met sporadically until the end of World War II, held no debates and enacted only a few laws. Within three months of the passage of the Enabling Act, all parties except the Nazi Party were banned or pressured into dissolving themselves, followed on 14 July by a law that made the Nazi Party the only legally permitted party in the country. With this, Hitler had fulfilled what he had promised in earlier campaign speeches: "I set for myself one aim ... to sweep these thirty parties out of Germany!" During the negotiations between the government and the political parties, it was agreed that the government should inform the Reichstag parties of legislative measures passed under the Enabling Act. For this purpose, a working committee was set up, co-chaired by Hitler and Centre Party chairman Kaas. However, this committee met only three times without any major impact, and rapidly became a dead letter even before all other parties were banned. Though the Act had formally given legislative powers to the government as a whole, these powers were for all intents and purposes exercised by Hitler himself. After its passage, there were no longer serious deliberations in Cabinet meetings. Its meetings became more and more infrequent after 1934, and it never met in full after 1938. Due to the great care that Hitler took to give his dictatorship an appearance of legality, the Enabling Act was renewed twice, in 1937 and 1941. However, its renewal was practically assured since all other parties were banned. Voters were presented with a single list of Nazis and Nazi-approved "guest" candidates under far-from-secret conditions. In 1942, the Reichstag passed a law giving Hitler power of life and death over every citizen, effectively extending the provisions of the Enabling Act for the duration of the war. |
Kindly read how Hitler was able to get legal backing transforming him to supreme leader and dictator of Germany. You will then see why they are posting trash about the Senate and her leadership. Remember that early in Buhari's administration some Northern elements were calling for Buhari to be granted supreme powers complete with marshal law and also how some APC chieftains were lobbying the Senate to disregard the laws regarding sale of government properties and assets and to transfer full discretionary powers to Buhari in disposing govt assets. Well their latest tactic is to demonise the Senate and her leadership from were they plan to rally popular support against the Senate. The following historical literature below should be clear to all where this despotic APC and Buhari govt is planning for our nascent democracy. History does not repeat itself, men who ignore history and repeat mistakes of old are the ones who think history works in cycles. The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave the German Cabinet – in effect, Chancellor Adolf Hitler – the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag. It passed in both the Reichstag and Reichsrat on 23 March 1933, and was signed by President Paul von Hindenburg later that day. |
IPOB123london:And do you want to fall for another yoruba treachery in the making? The Yoruba Muslim is just goading the Niger Delta and Biafra into war from which they will quickly pull out and side with the north. Isn't this what Awolowo did? I will continue to maintain that yorubas are harmless as enemies but treacherous as friends. Any alliance with the Yoruba is dead on arrival. I will rather enter into alliance with Shekau and Boko Haram than into any form of militant or political alliance with the treacherous yourba people. |
vedaxcool:Zombie first class. Why don't you ask that bench warmer Remi Tinubu or any of your useless Senators from Osun to cut their salaries? Deal with the fact that without a Senate there can never be true democracy. Your wet dreams of having Buhari turbanned as grand Khalifa of the Niger will only happen when Arewastan Emirate is established without the better south. |
When Buhari was away, it was an open secret that El Rufai was lobbying the northern caucus of the APC and Tinubu in the SW to be picked as Osinbajo's VP in the event that Buhari will not return. This was one of the main reason Buhari was forced to return back as the north was already planning his funeral and presidency. El Rufai had this memo prepared to be leaked in order to dissociate himself from Buhari's already failed administration in order to prop himself up as what the vagabonds in the APC will like to describe themselves as a "true progressive". Well, El Rufai's over ambition and his treacherous and unloyal tendencies has finally caught up with the midget. |
