Even in the most "advanced" countries, the representatives are not supposed to be experts in every area. They routinely hire experts/consultants to draft legislation and their staff is made up up additional experts for support.

No need to disparage the house members for using a consultant - there is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is a breach of contract if one exists. The consultant should be paid as agreed to.

nna, una go wound person with laughter.

@OP, Sir Barrister Olugbemi Olukayode, your submission up there is typical of irresponsible and ignorant acts which make reasonable people question the quality of our educational system. I assume here that you went to law school in Nigeria, and if you did not, I suspect that you obtained your law degree in one of those fly-by-night on-line law schools.

You quoted an irrelevant section 91 of the The Electoral Act of 2010, to justify the apparent criminality by GEJ and his billion naira contributors, in a foolish attempt to cover-up the apparent criminality. Section 91 as you correctly pointed out, pertains to election expense.

What the heck does election expense have to to with the amount of money an individual can contribute to a political party? What you did with your submission is equivalent to a defence lawyer going to court and stating that his client is not guilty of physically abusing his wife after beating her until her eyes were gouged out, because he did not commit the crime of rape. Barrister does that make sense to you?

The relevant sections in the electoral act which you should focus on are section 91 (9) and section 90. phillips70 has already done justice to section 91 (9).

Section 90: 90. - (1) The commission (INEC) shall have power to place limitation on the amount of money or other assets which an individual or group of persons can contribute to a political party.

So Sir, Barrister, your homework is to go and find out the limit which INEC has placed on the said contribution. A first year law student can find this out very easily. Once you've done that, please come back and tell us whether GEJ and his billion naira contributors have violated the law.

Until then, your submission and those of others, blindly defending GEJ and his gang of rogues will be ignored.

mikeansy:
the news is from june 2013


op did u notice?

I noticed that as well. This makes economic outlook under GEJ and his economic team quite bleak, given that conditions have worsen since 2013.

atlwireles:
What impact? unless you are a parasite waiting for government handouts . The price of oil means zero to the average Nigerian.

A very uninformed and narrow minded view.

Barbarian youths who are supposed to be leaders of tomorrow take the law into their own hands. Later they will complain of Police brutality while they themselves are just as guilty.

The earlier we put these pastors and Imams such as Oritsejafor and Gumi, who profit from inciting religious violence and hatred in Nigeria, in jail, for threatening our national security, the better for us.

Gumi & Oritsejafor should not only be threatened but locked up.

Dangote is a big boy and can absorb the hit.

Those of you who have under N50million in the Nigerian stock market and haven't yet cashed out and safeguarded your money in other instruments, are in for very big losses in the next few months.

I sold all of my shares in Nigerian stocks few months ago, I ain't returning for a while.

OK, apologies, however I know you did not support him in 2011. Now, in the said post, you talked about almajri school and Agriculture. I think he has delivered much of those 2. Agriculture is arguably one of the performing ministries and many Almajiri schools have been completed and commissioned....

Quite frankly, I was a card carrying member of the PDP when GEJ came to office, though I did not appreciate the way OBJ essentially forced him on us.

I looked for reasons to support him and was impressed with certain wins by his team. GEJ has since lost my support for the reasons I pointed out in the link I sent you earlier.

Now why do you support GEJ?

agabaI23:
You never gave him chance from the word go, so I don't expect you to do now. You have a right to choice, object or not. Do not call others sychophannts because they have different views to yours.

I think you should read this post

agabaI23:

You are making assertions without putting enugh thought into them....very much unlike you to be lazy.

Who did I not give a chance from the word go, and where is your evidence?

And your point is

agabaI23:
How did I miss this? Bro haba mana...just do me that favour. I am very focused ooo. Our focus here is on why you should choose one over the other...

The reasons why I choose Buhari over GEJ are summarized in this this post

My view remains that GEJ is not qualified to rule this great country - he is surrounded by sycophants and rougues.

They are sentencing our great soldiers to death and prisons for offenses which the commander-in-chief helped to facilitate by creating an environment for failure. While Ihejirika and others cart away billions of naira to run for political office, those on the front lines are sent to harm's way with inadequate equipment.

Come February, 2015, the commander-in chief himself, GEJ, will be court martialed by the people and sent back to Otueke.

subterfuge:
Heartless uncircumcisedd baboon has again increased the PHCN tariff. The drunkenn bastarrd does not care about the high rate of unemployment in NIGERIA. Is it in this jobless state and high poverty rate that nigerians will see enough money to MUMUU Jonathan for his serial failure in PHCN generation and supply? Suresly the man is daft. Jnaadaft. That fraudulent PDP fund raiser; can the devillssh Jonathan contribute the money to PHCH. God will surely.throw out the corruption wizzard.just a matter of time. He will run of is aso rock naked.

I take exception to calling the President of this great country, Ebola Monkey. Disagree with his policies, call him names, but show some decency in the process.

SamIkenna:
Where in Florida? Might be in Orlando for some business in Feb. Would not mind kicking buhari jins out of your unrepentant arewa behind.

Oh oh Sorry, buhari would have lost before my Orlando rendezvous.

nwanne m, your timing is off just as your position on political issues usually are.

We'd be too busy preparing for the inauguration of President Buhari at that time. Would have enjoyed watching you get drunk as you denounce both the great Ikemba and GEJ, while I watch you - you see, I'm a teetotaler.

Merry Xmas in advance unless you share the same religion with Asari Dokubo.

I knew SamIkenna will show up soon enough. Abeg someone should tell him to focus on issues rather than personalities of NLers.

agabaI23:
Name them sir....monumental fraud that was not perpetrated by Buhari? He served under the most corrupt government and stated that the Abacha was not corrupt. Do you believe him?

Stay focused, we are talking about GEJ, not Abacha and others

mikeansy:
and the crime against the good people of Nigeria in 1983 that led to this sorry state nko?

I am not defending that either.

GEJ has proved that he is incapable of ruling this great country - that's enough for me. Anyone but GEJ will do.

agabaI23:
Exactly the direction it takes when you guys are confronted with facts. Can you tell me why you would do that? Be frank to yourself.

Monumental fraud perpetrated against the good people of Nigeria.

Another irresponsible act by an insensitive state government which atimes acts as if the constitutional provisions of this great country should not be respected. You don't have to trample over the contitutional rights of any Nigerian to run your gaddem state. They did the same to my people from the SE now they've grown more wings and are doing it to Northerners.

To whomever is responsible for this, I say Egbe ndi abriba piafuka gi si. nansense!

Quite frankly, I'll take the worst Buhari over the best GEJ anyday. GEJ is simply unfit to rule our great country.

Would Bola Tinubu's Tax firm Alfa Beta have anything to do with this?

To tell you the truth Tinubu deserves all his earnings from tax operations given the firm's continued success. Haters can continute to hate, the man's success is clear.

How I wish you did not have the youthful indescretions in Chicago and elsewhere which cost you the VP slot and the goodwill of Nigerians. Big lesson for the youths here.

For comparison:

Country.....................Rating...................Outlook
Nigeria......................Ba3.......................Stable
Ghana.......................B2........................Negative
Kenya.......................B1........................Stable
Congo.......................B3........................Stable
Brazil........................Baa2.....................Negative

Nigeria is rated higher than all the countries listed above with the exception of Brazil, though Brazil's outlook is given the negative outlook.

This is a good rating for Nigeria and GEJ and his economic team should be given some credit for this report.

Having said that, if our resources are better managed, our rating should be at least Aaa . The same economists who work for GEJ, stabilize the economy on the one hand and loot billions on the other.

When Buhari and his high integrity team of economists take over, I envision our ratings improving to Aaa. I hope GEJ does not take this moody report as a license to run to the big boys for additional $10billion loan. In fact, he should not dare to obtain a single kobo in loans until he and his team of rogues are booted out!

@OP, you forgot to balance your post.

No mind them, they are too emotional to notice the key words: Multimedia broadcast to AriseTv, which was aired in Nigeria, particularly Abuja; to me that inferred the statement was made in Australia not in Nigeria.

More importantly, if Ihejirika wants to be taken seriously he should also have joined the American Government in the suit, who through its Ambassador wanted him probed for embezzlement of billions of naira it alleged he diverted from military funds meant to fight Boko Haram.

Ihejirika who arguably one of the wealthiest retired Generals allegedly pocketed billions of naira meant for the Army.
According to our source, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle raised the issue when he met recently with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. Ambassador Entwisle at the meeting at the Presidential Villa, said the U.S is particularly concerned about the sudden riches of Ihejirika........
The US Ambassador told Jonathan that the Americans who were in Nigeria to assist in the fight against insurgents were shocked to find out that what was on ground did not match the billions allocated under Ihejirika’s watch.

Finally, a voice of reason.

The lawsuit filed by Ihejirika is another attempt to deceive gullible tribalists and put the wool over their eyes.

poseidon12:
The Australian committed the crime in Nigeria and you want the General to go to Australia to file the suit. Clap for yourself. I wonder who the clown is here.

Oga, this is not a criminal case.
