Whynotthetruth:
Yes...it is not...but they can use impeachment threat to get executive their excesses become unbearable...And in law making, there's clause for overruling executive if they tally...

My point is, why is the judiciary deliberately muzzled on this aspect? The fact that d judiciary is not absolutely independent is a problem already.

Whynotthetruth:
Legislature can still monitor them except that lots of intrigue and party politics is involved in NASS...

Yes but d resolutions of d Legislature is not binding. The Executive implements legislative resolutions at its discretion

This is the subjugated mentality borne out of hegemonic rulership. What are they kneeling or lying down for? Stand up like men and women, respectfully listen to him, plead ur case if possible or face the requisite punishment! I am certain he didn't ask for this but as na so their body be even the Governor will not see it as unusual. He actually addresses them in such dehumanising positions! Now see the rotten look it has in pictures...sad!

Whynotthetruth:
Throw more @bolded plzzz...

Chapter 2 of the Nigerian Constitution covers the obligations of the government to the people. The duties it ought to carry out such as protection of life and property, protection/preservation of the environment and so on are there. But Section 6 of the constitution which creates and empowers the judiciary also bars it from judicial review or inquiry into anything that has to do with Chapter 2. So even when the govt of the day is obviously failing in its duties for no just cause, no one can question them about it. (I am on transit now, when I am settled I will produce the relevant Constitutional provisions).

The truth hurts the eyes and ears of many but it can never die. These are obvious facts that many will still come to defend but if only they will quietly sit down and reflect...

I do not blame and in fact support Biafrans who wish to part ways with this country as it is. If the terms of engagement will not be discussed, reviewed and implemented to allow regions develop at their paces then the continued existence of Nigeria as currently run is in doubt.

I wonder how they make promises, coast into power and deny them! Yet they cannot be held accountable?! I think it's time to make it a law that manifestoes of the winning party/govt after elections must be adhered to and reviewed periodically. Not just cosmetic government review but with samples of public opinion from every region because power resides with the people! Failure to meet with promises made amount to a breach and disqualifies such persons for re-election. Maybe then politicians will know that the social contract of governance is sacrosanct.

There is also the puzzling aspect of non justiciability of Chapter 2 of the Constitution that must also be re-visited to hold leaders accountable.

Students in black...hmm! Hope none of them has been killed violently.

Why bring it to the 'attention' of Nigerians? Are there no courts?

almajirimallam:
Mr man let's be sincere for once GEJ is the cause of everything, apart from his carelessness toward good governance he legalised corruption. The truth is that those who voted for GEJ did so out of pity..The Yoruba's did what was right, 2019 is at the corner

He is the cause of everything? So Nigeria was Eldorado and excellent b4 GEJ? So all d successive coups by d Army, what reasons did they give? So OBJ left a perfect and wonderful Nigeria?

To crown it all, u expose this sickening born-to-rule mentality that is tearing Nigeria apart! So GEJ was voted in out of pity! So a Southern Ijaw man was not fit to govern otherwise but it is alright to forcefully maintain this destructive union called Nigeria so u can access the natural resources in his land!

U ppl just hate truth but that is the beauty of truth...hide n suppress it all u want but u are only letting it gather momentum and like a volcano, it erupts n solidifies, never to be moved or denied!

I was just thinking aloud having heard that in a period of one week APC has craftily and subtly denied all campaign promises that brought them to power.




Now they have successfully used the 100 days to deny their promises to Nigerians. It therefore means the electorates have nothing to hold them accountable for since as it now stands they promised electorates nothing.




I don't want to believe Baba would be involved in a scam as some people are already saying. Blaming Jonathan for their seeming inability to deliver is the most illogical move.



For me, if APC cannot perform, they should present acceptable, logical and venial reasons to Nigerians. Nigerians are wiser than their current gimmicks.









Does it mean APC didn't know it would be difficult if not impossible to make good such promises? Or did they just take Nigerians for a ride as usual?

I would rather blame the so-called majority that fell for the APC gimmicks cos it shows they aren't smarter or wiser than that as u said. When I read people who say that they will vote him out same way they voted him in I ask, 'What guarantee do u have that your votes will count by 2019'? Jonathan despite his failures cannot be faulted in promoting democracy, the power of choice and d reality that votes can count. He became a victim of it and still honored the 'choice' of the people. He isn't even wasting d time of d courts and invariably national resources in the courts! Who says that will be the obtainable anymore when GMB can install someone like Zakari as INEC Chair! The coming state elections ds yr will show.

What was d situation when GMB lost previous elections? He literally couldn't believe he wasn't handed power as his birthright. Now what do we have today? Where is the much touted integrity? Declaration of assets and those of appointees has become a mirage. Then Femi Adesina came to justify this height of dishonour to d Nigerian ppl that Buhari never personally made such promise but it was rather the party! And did Buhari ever debunk such promise? He campaigned and 'won' elections on the strength of such promise!

It is Nigerians I blame! Afterall if u give monkey cup to drink water e go take but to collect d cup back na where wahala dey dey.

tayebest:
What has GEJ whom the grace is given done. You just open that your stink mouth to spew thrash.... His regime recorded the highest looted funds.... More or less if the yeebos are given the priviledge to rule Nigeria, i cant just imagine how Nigeria will be...

And ur brother OBJ that institutionalised corruption nko? All d billions of dollars supposedly invested in power, the Haliburton scam, the Udi massacre...let me just stop here. Don't justify rubbish. Nigeria is too complex for a group to hold others to ransom and your dingbat brothers basically begged n ushered them in to consolidate their hold on southern resources n blessings in the name of one Nigeria! Nonsense!

POWEROFPEACE:
I am from south-south but I will not withdraw from the truth. The southern leadership committed more problems/atrocities than good which almost destroyed this nation completely. Meanwhile some of what you wrote there are lies.

Don't just stop at calling anything in the op lies, identify and counter them with facts. The op said Southern leadership has done better for d country than what we had under the North and backed up his assertion with proofs. U instead claim to be SS and say that Southern leaders created more problems/atrocities. Again be responsible, don't stop there. Engage fully by backing up your assertion with facts.

Stop criticising without proffering viable alternatives. That is what APC did in their campaign with criticism here n there. Today they deny their promises and say that if the past administration didn't steal so much they'd hav bn able to provide 5k for d poor and meals for children in school. Were most if d current APC members not part of the past administration? So who stole and who didn't steal? Even the richest n corruption free countries with less population do not do this yet they came with unrealistic countries and are lookin for whom to blame.

Before u criticise do ur homework and come up with viable alternatives not just fly off d handle n type because wat u see doesn't agree with ur sentiments.

Bia op! Before u proceed, do you mean populous or popular? Are d people individually 'plenty' or what?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Now you have a problem.

An Anambrarian living in the North must have 139 to be admitted notwithstanding where you schooled.

If a girl from Yobe attends school in Imo State, provided her State of origin reads Yobe State, her cut off mark is still 2.

Your land of nativity is the determinant factor not where you schooled.

Very true and that is why it is an unfair and destructive system. What encourages the supposed disadvantaged ones to work harder? The gaps should be closing not administratively maintained! If u keep calling a child a fool he'll believe it and act that way! It takes competition n drive to break such a yoke! But where there is nothing to aspire to then why will they bother?

At d end of d day they will hit head on d ground 5 times a day , speak their language and voila! Appointment don land after setting them close to the goal post from day one. They never worked for it or had to prove themselves! Go to government offices where they're in d majority n u see them in slippers and jalabia cos those offices are an extension of their backwater homes and yet they are somehow expected to drive development! Tufiakwa!

Onyiridike:
Mr. Anambraian, Enugu has a higher cut-off mark than your Anambra and they are not bragging about it the way you are doing here.

Why is every Anambra man so arrogant and proud?

First, what is d argument for b/w Enugu n Anambra? We're of d same blood n stock. Beyond that however, go n look again. Anambra-139; Imo-138; Enugu-134.
There's no need for argument. As far as I'm concerned all students from every region whether North or South should have same cutoff marks of at least 130. If u don't measure up this yr u work harder n make it next time. Not to be coddled n encouraged by lowering standards!

As I always say, when d chips are down the truth will prevail. The more people spawn useless propaganda, the stronger the truth and unalloyed vision of freedom will emerge. When a people have no cultural identity and gladly don the toga of 'minority' it just goes to show.

joseph1832:
Like you can actually taste/eat sh!t. Your analogy doesn't apply in this case.

And that is why it is called an analogy. You aren't supposed to take it literally. How come that's the only part of what I said u picked on? Acknowledge truth my dear, trying to pick faults where there's none won't help you.

Asiwaju9ja:
Hear urself.

Have I said anything untrue?

Asiwaju9ja:
..... And the "messiah" was responsible for their killings before and after his coming?

He sanctioned unlawful killings and detentions during his tenure as military dictator. That was a very red flag they chose to ignore maybe cos it didn't happen to their people.

Asiwaju9ja:
....and these people were not killing b4 the (in ur own words) messiah came?

That is why it is most annoying and nauseating. You (the 'sophisticated' ones) knew these people were murderers, pillagers and destroyers yet gladly surrendered your back for the 'messiah' to ride upon.

joseph1832:
I don't know why we are always inpatient in this country. Who cares about what people call PMB. We should be more focused on what is rather than dwell on what isn't.

It is from what is that u can tell what isn't that may likely be and then make plans accordingly. U no go wait make rain meet u before u go arrange umbrella and raincoat na. A man who fails to plan, plans to fail. After all it is said that it is from the smell of the fart that u will determine the nature/taste of the shiit.
