Politics / Re: Reps Back Removal Of Immunity For President, Govs by Macky2(m): 8:05am On Oct 16, 2014
Members of the House of Representatives on Wednesday endorsed new amendments to the 1999 Constitution.
A total of 252 lawmakers voted in Abuja to adopt 70 new clauses added to the constitution.

The clauses were compressed into a constitution amendment bill already harmonised by a conference committee of the Senate and the House.
The motion for the adoption of the conference report was moved by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha. Ihedioha doubles as the Chairman, House Committee on Constitution Review.
Speaker of the House, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, presided over Wednesday’s session.

A total of 261 members were present in the chambers when voting started.
Out of the number, 252 voted to adopt the conference report, eight voted against, while one member abstained.
As the voting closed and the results declared, Tambuwal observed that the House had met the constitutional requirement of two-thirds majority of members to amend the constitution.
Under Section 9 of the constitution, a constitution amendment bill succeeds after it receives the support of 240 (two-thirds) members out of the total of 360.
The bill will also receive the same support in the Senate, where there are 109 members.
By implication, 73 senators will vote to adopt the report for the amendment to pass.

The House did its own voting on Wednesday, awaiting the Senate’s.
Following the Senate’s voting, ‎the document is forwarded to the 36 state Houses of Assembly for “approval” by two-thirds (24) of them and returned to the National Assembly again for the final approval.
“We have met the constitutional requirement of two-thirds for the adoption and passage of this important bill.
“Let us talk to our colleagues at the state assemblies for the adoption of this report”, Tambuwal told members.
Among the clauses adopted on Wednesday was the removal of immunity against criminal prosecution for the President and state Governors.
Members also endorsed to grant financial autonomy to local government councils in the country.
Under the new provision on autonomy, the President and Governors can be prosecuted for criminal offences while still in office and stand removed from office once found guilty.

Local government councils now have full autonomy and are no longer appendages of state governments.
Section 7(1)(c) of the new provision states, “The House of Assembly of every state, shall, subject to Section 8 of this constitution, ensure that existence of democratically elected local government councils under a law,which provides for their funding from the public revenue of the state and the autonomy of the local government councils.”
The new provisions have also created separate offices for the Minister of Justice and the Attorney-General of the Federation, with each office having clearly-defined roles.
Similarly, the Office of the Auditor-General of the ‎Federation has been placed on the First Line of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation.

The provision for state creation has been altered to accommodate a referendum to be conducted in all local governments comprising a state to decide whether a new state should be carved out of the existing state.
On citizenship, the new provision tries to resolve the controversy over state of origin by defining a citizen as “a citizen of Nigeria.

Politics / Re: 2015: Buhari, Atiku Clash Over Procedure For Presidential Primaries by Macky2(m): 4:39am On Sep 29, 2014
Confused Party.

The All Progressives Congress, APC was at the weekend headed for a serious crisis following strong reservations among its major presidential candidates over the procedure for adopting the 2015 presidential candidate for the party.

At the end of a National Executive Committee, NEC meeting of the party last weekend, the party was unable to forge a consensus on the issue with associates of the major aspirants reportedly holding on to their positions.
Two of the major presidential aspirants, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and former vice-president Atiku Abubakar,
Vanguard learnt were at the head of the major divisions over the adoption of a consensus or the conduct of primaries for the adoption of the presidential candidate. The other major aspirants, notably, Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano State and Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah are reportedly indifferent.

Yesterday, aides of Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, who is also set to enter the fray were largely mute on the issue, as one said it was too premature to express a position given the fact the governor is yet to formally declare his intention.

Buhari wants consensus candidacy.
Party sources disclosed that Buhari’s associates in the party were pushing for consensus on the fact that majority of the party positions across board were filled with consensus. On the other hand, the Buhari supporters are praying that if the consensus arrangement is jettisoned for any reason that a direct primary involving all 18 million registered members of the party be held.

Their point is being strongly opposed by Atiku’s growing supporters within the party hierarchy who say that a direct primary would be unwieldy, costly. Rather, the Atiku camp has proposed what it called a Modified Direct Primary that would involve about 20,000 delegates choosing the party candidate. That prospect is feared by the Buhari camp who claimed that it would offer opportunity to easily woo or take over delegates hitherto pledged to other aspirants.

According to the Buhari supporters, the introduction of full direct primary would limit the prospect of Atiku wooing the delegates unlike a modified primary that could see Atiku and his agents now in the field winning the number of delegates.
[b]“Having carefully examined our great party” the APC constitution, especially Article 20 and the Electoral Act 2010, one comes to the inevitable conclusion that it is better to adopt consensus in electing our candidates for House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governor and presidential candidates and where it fails to adopt direct primary,” a major Buhari supporter in the NEC told selected newsmen last weekend.

“It is on record that more than 80% of the ward, local government area and state congresses which produced the current executives of our great party were conducted through consensual arrangement. And more than 95% of the current National Executive Committee were elected via consensus,” he said
“When one considers the bitterness, rancour and bad blood indirect primary will most likely generate, it becomes safer to work towards a consensual agreement. We must at all times bear in mind that we are being hunted and that those who boasted to rule Nigeria for 60 years uninterrupted, are still hell bent to scuttle the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians for genuine ideological regime change.
“We must take note that our challenger, the ruling party has just announced the nomination of the incumbent President as its candidate by consensus means and they had commenced presidential campaign with vigour and dexterity”.[/b]

Atiku at the weekend, however, pledged his determination to abide by any democratic procedure adopted by the party even as he canvassed the advantages of the Modified Direct Primaries.
In an email statement issued to correspondents on the issue by his media aide, Mallam Garba Shehu, the Atiku camp said:

[b]“Our candidate is a democrat. What he is opposed to is any undemocratic process going by the name of consensus, imposition or anointment. Back in the PDP, if you remember, he dragged the party to court and won on these issues with a resounding victory.
Atiku’s camp proposes Modified Direct Primary
“The decision of our campaign to support the Modified Direct Primary is not because of anything but for its practical applicability.
“If you say you want direct primary, how can you get all 18 million registered APC voters to take part?
“That would mean you will be setting up a vote in every polling booth, doing the same thing as INEC is doing. It will be the same thing as a general election.Where do you have the resources, the manpower, the time and the security support for this?”
“Secondly, don’t forget that the figure of the registered members is not a settled issue in many states. There are many places in which it is being disputed. Besides, it keeps changing everyday. New members are coming in and some are also leaving us. How do you deal with this?”

“Those who argue for direct primaries also need to factor in the fact that there is no way you take the process from the hands of governors if you allow it to take place in the states. Genuine fears on the part of some people is that in nearly each state, they may just end up writing the results or where this is not possible, breathe down on the necks of local officials to do as they wish.”
“The Modified Direct Primary cannot on the other hand be faulted as being undemocratic because the delegates coming forward, as proposed, are all elected officials. There is no dispute concerning their status as elected officials. For this reason alone, they are credible because they are representative of their wards. We support it because we believe it is broad enough to make for popular representation.”
“Even at this, 20,000 delegates is still a large number to bring under one roof, considering that even the PDP brings together between four to five thousands delegates only for the their presidential primaries.”[/b]

Food / Re: How Regularly Should You Cook And Why by Macky2(m): 4:33pm On Oct 19, 2012
Your just a black lady trying to live like whites. Talk like your still a teen.

Wow, so if a guy decides to marry me then he is an idiot? I am glad not all men think like you. I have happily married girlfriends here that don't even cook at all 4 their hubbys,atleast white guys don't put too much value on cooking/food. Will you marry food? I thought you are to marry out of love? I didn't say I will never cook for my hubby, I am a career driven woman and once I finish with dental school I will be working a lot so the last thing I need is after a stressful work day is to come home and slave over a hot stove. I will cook every once in a while but it won't be an everyday or week affair. Geeze, this is 1 of the reasons why I can't picture myself marrying a Nigerian man. As if you can't enter into the kitchen and cook something for yourself. [/quote]
