the section is express nothing like special occasion... Can u tell me what can be more important than presentation of 'budget' a Governor is the CSO of his state..dazzol lastly we Morality is not law...don't fgt..

Lol. But your common sense will suddenly kick in, and morality will suddenly become law when the case is about Buhari wearing a military camouflage to present a budget. So much from shameless hypocrites!

fabuloz1:
Sequel to the aforementioned, Fayose is right in wearing a military camo. Even if he like wearing it to play football, he's on point. I don't know why the person way far above me is hell-bent in comprehending a simple law. As far as he's a public office holder. He knows the law and that was why he wore it. But APC clowns that doesn't know anyhing concerning Nigerian affairs be wanting to cause a rift between him and the president. Even Buhari knows better hence the silence.

Lol. Buhari have been silence about Fayose from day 1. If Fayose doea not have common sense, it doesn't mean his followers should lack one

Princedapace:
Bros....I only commented becus u quoted the law and not sense..

Law does not make sense at times..

And president and governors are allowed to wear military outfit to important ocassion and what is important occasion is not mentioned by the law..

Fayose won in the law court big time..

Commonsense is actually used in Law sometimes!

TheRealestGuy:
So you can condemn Fayose but we can't condemn your tin god buhari?

Condemn Buhari for what?

googlepikins:
you illiterates are the one taking us back to 1912 era. I just quoted your write-up. Is fayose not a governor. You and buhari should go back to primary school

Lol. U clowns. . Nothing is wrong is wearing a military camouflage in a civil dispensation to present a budget?

Princedapace:
Lolz.. I can't believe you put up this kind of argument even after quoting the law.. It shows u are not a law practioner.. My brother.. Fayose did not break the law if u and I are to GI by the law you just quoted..

Forget about what people will say if it was done by Buhari.. Support is a choice.. Just the way those who are against fayose condemned him for wearing the military uniform...is the same way those who are against buhari will condemn him if he wears it.. But the point is...he didn't break the law.. I can't believe u put up this argument. Naaaa u just fall ma hand bro.. U need to apologize to logical reasoning ...pls

U need to appologise to logical reasoning. What sense does it make dressing in military camouflages to present a budget to a state Assembly in a civilian dispensation. Let's call a spade a spade. What is wrong is wrong.

stefanweeks:
keep quiet and learn

Hypocrites. Let Buhari try what Fayose did, we will see u clowns dancing unclad on every social media on how Buhari is a tyrant. Teach me i want to learn

omonnakoda:
The law does not ban the wearing of camouflage it is important to comprehend fully the meaning of the words and the definition of military uniform.
The military does not have a patent on "camouflage" and we cannot interpret this law without specific definition of the term " military uniform"

At any rate law enforcement is not the role of the military. Soldiers do not have ANY lawful authority to intervene and arrest people even when an offence like this is committed

Lol. U are a very big clown. Please read again the criminal act and give me another meaning to it.
If u feel u are above the law, u can a camouflage and walk near a barracks, when accosted tell the military they don't have a patent for camouflage

paragon40:
does that violates any law?? No sir..


(2) not being a person holding any office or authority under the Government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, wears any uniform or distinctive badge or mark or carries any token calculated to convey the impression that such person holds any office or authority under the government;......

On special occasions just like the president does, not to present a budget to the assembly. I ask again, if Buhari should wear a como to the natio assembly to present a budget what will u clowns say?

B2Spirits:
Listen to yourself... If the person is given permission by the governnor...that means Fayose gave himself the permission.

Permission to wear to present a state budget to the state Assembly in a democratic dispensation? Should Buhari do this, are u gonna say the same thing? Be honest with your hypocritical sef.

Lalasticlala

The President is the commander in Chief of Armed forces hence at liberty to wear on the military uniform to specific functions.

Wearing of military camouflage to present budget to the state Assembly in a democratic dispensation is provoking the law and pushing the immunity clause too far.

Should Buhari do the same, the social media and country would have been on fire telling us we are back in military era. But the hypocritical wailing dundees will never see anything wrong as long as its one of their adopted criminals that is perpetuating the act. It is well with Nigeria


For those who are quick to make comparisons with USA and some developed countries. No law banning such there, but their are laws banming such in Nigeria and some other countries.


If u are not ok with that, u can move to those countries and dress as u like

In view of the constant harassment of civilians on military camouflage by men of the armed forces, it is imperative to educate the public that wearing of such is actually against the law and a criminal act.

Section 110 of Nigeria Criminal Code Act states


110. [b]Any person who- Unlawfully wearing the uniform of forces, etc

(1) not being a person serving in any of the armed forces of Nigeria, wears the uniform or any part of the uniform of such forces, or any the armed dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of such uniforms; or

(2) not being a person holding any office or authority under the Government of Nigeria or of any part thereof, wears any uniform or distinctive badge or mark or carries any token calculated to convey the impression that such person holds any office or authority under the government;

is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for one month, or to a fine of ten naira, unless he proves that he had the permission of the President or of the Governor of a State or wear such uniform or dress, badge or mark or to carry such token:

Provided that this section shall not apply to the wearing of any uniform or dress in the course of a stage play or in any bona fide public entertainment[/b]

111. Any person who sells or gives any uniform, or part of a or any dress, badge or mark, as in the last preceding section mentioned, to any person who is not authorised to wear the same, is guilty of an offence and is liable to the penalties prescribed in the said section.


The Camouflage uniform is part of the military uniform. The Red bolded implies that even if the military camouflage is not exactly the same, as long as it has the pattern and resemblance of the Camouflage u have comitted a criminal act.

The Green bolded is an exception provided by the law, how ever Section 251 brings a limit to that exception

SECTION 251:

251. Any person who, not being a person serving in any of the armed or police forces of Nigeria, wears the uniform of any of these forces, or any dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of any such uniform, in such manner or in such circumstances as to be likely to bring contempt on that uniform, or employs any other person so to wear such uniform or dress, is guilty of a simple offence, and is liable to imprisonment for three months or to a fine of forty naira.

REPLICATION OF SECTION 110(1) IN LAGOS STATE LAW (2011)

The above law is replicated in Section 79 and 80 of the Lagos crimal law code but a [b]Jail term of 2 years is [/b]stipulated against the 1-3months of the Federal law.


It is also imperative to tell the sectionalists and others who are quick to call Nigeira a Zoo that many other countries also have laws banning camouflage clothings by civilians. The law is in effect in India, Philippines etc.

Some folks who are hell bent on being negative negroes keep yapping about libraries & labs... For elementary school children in PUBLICLY funded schools!!! gerrarhia with the bad belle & hypocrisy!!

Most of these kids would not have even been enrolled in such schools if their parents could afford to feed them well, let alone send them to fee paying elementary schools..... This will have them be in school, it's something to look forward to.. I know children, no matter the status, their lunch box/pack is something they all look forward to..

There are thousands of things to knock this (insert here) government that is turning out to be "something else" for ... this is not one of them!! Sorry look under the rock of negativity if the next executive faux pas doesn't do it for y'all!!

Many of these kids in these schools get nothing for feeding in.sch or b/w 10-50naira. U see them in canteens buying beans 30naira or rice 50naira. No meat, nothing. And one useless clown ia talking about science laboratories in elementary schs.

datribune:
Tinubu does not expect his will to be carried out all d time, neither does he expect PMB, of all people, to be engaged in subtle attempts to diminish & crash his political influence by aligning & actively influencing dissidents against him.
Can u imagine dat in d President's biography, they went to d extent of making a sinister attempt to sow discord between Tinubu & Osinbajo by distorting d true story of how Osinbajo became VP?.
Let me be clear. Tinubu knows dat u win some, u lose some. His man in d Ondo primary, Olusegun Abraham ACTUALLY called to CONGRATULATE d alleged winner until when it became clear dat d delegates list had been tampered with.
It was when Oyegun as Chairman, went against d decision to hold a primary re-run, after it was agreed to hold one, dat Tinubu called him out. Someone had to call Oyegun out sooner or later. Oyegun tried d same stunt he pulled in Ondo, in his home state of Edo where he tried to impose Chris Ogiemwonyi over d popular choice, Obaseki but didn't succeed because of d sitting Governor. Oyegun was sidelined & couldn't win even his own political ward.
A few days ago Mr Galadima on whose desk d CPC was formed, warned dat PMB will be standing alone. PMB's wife, d 1st lady similarly warned.
It is to d advantage of d Jagaban, a man wit an outstanding record of performance both in & out of political office dat d fumbling Buhari is biting d fingers dat fed him & puting a distance between him & dis fumbling govt.
No matter how much PMB may deny his role because of fears of d political fallout of being seen as an ingrate, d damage has been done.

Nice response.
Tinubu this and that. I just tire.
Even is wife, who is supposed to be closer to him warned Buhari.
I wonder why some elements are trying so hard to paint Tinubu as the greedy one. Meanwhile the ones who had no serious influence in the emergence of Buhari are the real greedy ones.

GossipHeart:


Buhari is a big joke

The other time, it was a man from far away Japan that paid for our Super Eagles hotel rooms fee at the Olympic

Our National team did very well even without the support of the government and the same man was impressed with how well we did and he gave the Super Eagles millions of naira, what happened next would shock you :

The government wanted to seize the money and share it among themselves

Buhari is a disgrace

Abeg shut up. Its not everything u politicize. NFF has been a useless body since time immemorial.

PapaBrowne:
Yep. That's the beautiful point. You will never have to hear of it, but you've been eating it for over 3 years now.

My mum owns a large bakery, so I should know. All flour now comes with at least 10℅ cassava substitute.

If I told you there is Potato flour inside the Poundo yam you eat would you know?

So 10% cassava makes it cassava bread? Ok na

nawtyme:
See them, hypocrites. What certificate does your president have? The constitution states that before you apply to contest for post of the president you should have at least passed SSCE. Which one does your president have?

Hey clown. This ia stale and boring. Firstly the Constitution did not mention SSCE. It stated School Leaving Certificate which could be anything. How may of the 70 years plus grandpas actually knw where exactly the primary or secondary certificates are. The President have attained much more than SSCE or whatever u call it over the years. If the noise about the certificate issue could actually work and wasn't just a distraction from the opposition, Buhari wouldn't have been allowed to contest in the first place let alone winning. So its time u accept the truth or die living in denial, of which who cares?

Xano:
To an extent, I understand the Minister's explanation. The issue of electricity is the main challenge for Telecom Companies. Daily usage of Diesel generators are quite expensive, erodes on their profit, affect staff welfare to some extent, delays their infrastructure upgrade,etc.

But Honorable Minister knows the issue of Electricity is the Government's responsibility.

They should promote Nigeria.

Make Nigeria attractive to investors.

Stop incitement and lies which they've been doing. You don't, use mouth to, among others incite, aggravate, spread lies, then, use the mouth to try and promote a country; your audience know the truth.

Government should involve seasoned professionals, give them liberty to help; not via nepotism or tribal or religious means.

If they(Government) choose not to be better, decide to increase price of mobile data, in addition to other increase of basic amenities, security issue would be their top priority.

Most isps now have their equipments in colocated sites. Where their host bothers about power, their hosts are mainly big telcos. All they do is pay their host rent. Let the market forces determine the price. There is more to the data increase they are not telling us.

Politicians should stop putting too much pressure on the military. December deadline is nit realistic. Yes Tremendousendous progress have made, but the faction being sponsored by ISIS seems i have reinforced and acquired more weapons and have started carrying out high calibre attacks again.
I also urge the military to talk less to the press about their operations. Its more like using the media to tip them off. There by prolonging the war.

Brutai have done well
PMB have done well in this war
But more needs to be done!

RIP my brother my friend Sgt Ahmed Adigun Frances (Lepa)!!!

Where are those soldiers that harass people for wearing something that looks like this?

If u want to know where they are, go and wear it on the streets of Ekiti too, then u go know say Governor covered by immunity is different from a civilian nobody like u

Gullible souls. So people can protest to protect themselves and children while the men that slaughtered an igbo woman were set free. Boko Haram killers were set free they didn't protest. We deserve what we are experiencing gaskiya.

Phace:
Anyone who reads this will know how ignorant you are.

You ain't aware of the fact that the crime of corruption is under the enforcement auspices of the ICPC or the EFCC?

Or that the DSS or the SSS is charged with offences affecting internal security and like crimes?

I won't be surprised if you think that the police can wake up one morning to effect an arrest on another by breaking into his apartment even when such a person is not in absentia or that an arrest entails forcefully dragging a person into a person into police custody.

Boy, Due Process is more than that. Due process is following the law, not just the constitution but such other laws blessed by it with enforceable authority.

Besides, you don't just arrest with or without a warrant {which funny enough is given by a judge}, you also must have the authority to arrest. Again, the SSS does not screen judges and justices, it is done by the NJC and such body reserves the displinary powers over such officers.

Reread your constitution and Acts, before coming to make nasty comments.

****

Go to the constitution and read properly about arrests, the CPA acts, the NSA acts. Thank me later.

sucess001:
No Sir...you are the Dundee here.


For judges...their disciplinary process is different and handled by the NJC...


The reason is simple for anyone that has brains....if you arrest all the judges...who will judge their case?


We have a principle in law saying you cant be a judge in your own case...DSS has started acting like judges...


We have laws....it should be respected...


Instead of government to obey laws...they would rather pay pple like you to defend their indefensible actions on social media...

Dundee, U don't even make one single sense. This is a case about corrupt judges and not a case about all judges, so definitely all judges cant be arrested.

Bribery is a criminal offence, hence can be investigated by any security agency, weather u are a lawyer, a judge, a military officer,or whatever.

Only illiterates bunch will support impunity, lawlessness and fascism in whatever guise.

Liar Mohammed's N39 Billion budget to bribe the media to deceive the people and turn public opinion upside down is really working on the gullibles. Buhari is a liability to Nigeria

Ignorant rant. So u have a corrupt judge as a benefactor? They are coming for him

id911:
Femi Falana definately didn't graduate from any law school, he must have studied hypocrisy and confusion from an approved NURTW motor park. Were those Justices terrorists that lawless SSS would go pulled down their doors and residences in the night to arrest them? Were they National Security Threat? Is it the job of SSS to handle corruption cases?

The presidency game plan is to frame up Justice Walter Onnoghen so that he won't be made Chief Justice of Nigeria since he has already been recommended by NJC. They want their lackey to be there as CJN. Very divisive, tribalistic and stupid people

[/s]

A wailing ignorant dundee on the loose.

popez:
Femi falana is an embarrassment to common sense. Okay let's assume the judges received bribes,why were their doors and gates hammered down? What were the DSS officers even doing with sledge hammers? Then again,is bribery case not under the purview of the police,are those judges security threats? These are questions this shameless man ought to be asking instead pronouncing the judges guilty even before they have been charged. Sometimes I really wonder how falz copes with this man. Smh.

You are the embarrassment here. The SSS takes their time to actually screen these clowns before confirmation of their appointments. This simply means there actions and in actions can be a threat to national security. If SSS screens them,why can't they be arrested by the same SSS?

MRSALT:
Why has the presidency not obtain the search warrant of the judge who struck out the perjury case against the President? A man who hired 13 SANs to defend him in the court for being asked to show his certificate. Thesame certificate he swore an affidavit that it was with the Secretary of Nigerian army.

U are not smart at all. The clown that went to court, withdrew the case....and u are aaking this kind of ***b question?

StarPlayer:
Why are these LCD flatrons always confusing themselves? Just negodu this one contradicting himself upandan. In one hand you commend emefiele for doing a good job, in the other hand you criticize him. Onuofia smh

See the high calibre of zombies that commented. The strategy is prepare a thread by 12(when witches parade) then by 6pm they call a mod to put it on FP to represent the views of Nigerians.

High grade Dundee, what were u looking for on NL too by 12. Are u a witch hunter? Where have anyone mentioned a mod on this thread.

We don't have to wait till 6pm before mentioning lalasticlala or mynd44. In fact i just did. And u will help me mention them again. Jusr watch!
