The constitution does not permit the FG to postpone any Election. The Election can only be postponed by INEC.
What the quoted section says is that the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years, but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time.
Nothing about postponing election was mentioned in Section 135.

The constitution is not written in Korean, it is simple, clear and precise.

I think you missed an important point of section 135 subsection 3, i.e. if the Federation is at war in which the territory of Nigeria is physically involved and the President considers that it is not practicable to hold elections........

So INEC does not have to postpone anything. As long as the President considers that it is not practical to hold election and the National Assembly passes the said resolution, GEJ's term can be extended for 6 months.

Though I don't think GEJ has the votes to pull this through, I don't trust the greedy bastards in NASS who are capable of doing anything for money.

If GEJ goes this route, it would be a declaration of war against Nigerians.

Truth be told: Some of the territories in the so called Niger delta or SS may indeed be Igboland.

This is indirectly confirmed by the water people's admission that Delta Igbos exist.

Is this graphic tool still in existence

I thought it went under when MS-Word disabled Word Perfect.

Shameless apologists are now pointing their fingers at the Chadian President instead of accepting responsibility for their failures. Guess what? No one is surprised.

@OP, if you are troubled by your grey hair and whether women will find it unattractive, nwanne m, shave the hair off! Many women love bald heads - abi razor don finish for stores?

These hackers are apprentices. The main pages of the website remain active...the hacked page is an obscure page which most visitors do not access.

They should look at their IT employees because methinks one of them simply created that page and placed junk therein. This a'int no hack!

Are people still wondering whether this Denrele of a guy is gay?

Denrele is a gay guy who continues to shock you people to the bank! That means that he is brighter than most of you. Unfortunately for him, if he comes to my neighborhood dressed like he usually does, I may very well follow my peeps throw stone on the guy.

At least its not you money or your state funds that is wasted. Its our state funds and if you call this waste, its the kind of waste we like for 50yrs from now our people will still be able to see what was done with our public fund.
The big question is What is your State govenor doing with your state funds?

Prat tell, what state am I from?

aljharem:
Except Buhari ?

Haba Ole ni gbogbo won. Buhari inclusive. Yes the rule of law should prevail. You don't get a ticket from a party and defect to another after winning. Where is that done ?

Nigeria their is no ideology just interest. He should serve as an example to others.

The prevailance of the rule of law is why Tambuwal went to court, he should not be villified for that. Lets allow this to play out in court.

I feel sorry for you people who are basing the judgement of your leaders on how physically appealing the stadiums built by them are. Una go suffer tay tay.

Beautiful stadium!!

I have to add however that this is another waste of state resources. Such a stadium should be a business venture, paid for by investors and not state or federal government's venture. The funds invested by the state on this stadium would have been better spent on several first class hospitals built acrosss the state.

We know that when state/fed governments in Nigeria invests N100billion in a venture such as this, at least N50billion of it would be looted. SMH

aljharem:
It will be interesting to know who is paying for the services of those lawyers who, I am sure, are very happy and eager to have a piece of the action. Let the "looted funds" circulate joo! God bless Nigeria.

----- Oluwole Akinjayeju

Aljharem, you of all people know what pro bono means na. We all know that all of these politicians loot with the exception of Buhari, but we must agree that respect for the rule of law in matters like this should prevail.

Mr. Kanu was a very active nairalander a few years back https://www.nairaland.com/fotodaddy

A very bright detribalized guy who loves adventures. Here is a thread where him and fellow nairalanders and other friends, including me , went off roading - that was so much fun. Driving through rugged Backstreets of Nigeria

Congrats buddy!

Please return Sanusi.

They rig within their party structure and they similarly plan to rig the Presidential elections. Lets hope they can do so in a manner which would not be too blatant ...if not,............babboons will dance Ajasco instead of skelewu

@OIP, carry on with ya misinformation, you hia. dem go soon ban you

I remember being complemented for my accent by American babes, while I was in school few years ago, with statements such as "What a beautiful accent". Both whites and blacks loved the accent.

This made me drop all effort at trying to speak like Americans. Americans do consider Nigerian accent, very sexy. The only time I tried to sound American was when I came home for holidays because doing so got me easy girls (I know...youthful indiscretion).

SMH @ fools who attempt to sound like rappers or ghetto dwellers. I ran into many of them in the USA not to talk of those at home who have never stepped out of the country.

At least 10 -15 people don abuse dis tit girl and call her stupid dumb, e.t.c

The truth is she is smarter than most of the people abusing her...I still dey psychoanalyse dat girl...As my Yoruba people dey talk...oro girl yen ti su mi, to tell you the truth

Malam Detolee, the sad truth is that at least 70% of the electorate cannot read well enough to comprehend your epistle. The epistle is also useless to nairalanders because 98% of them have already made up their minds.

My recommendation to you is to use your skills to speak to where the $10.8billion, which Iweala acknowledges that is missing, is located.

PetroDolla3:
before we talk about another influx of illegal aliens from Ghana, what are you doing to your own millions of refugees who are now a complete nuisance in the region. you clueless modafakas are now refugee in Cameroon, Niger, etc.hahahaha

Please accept my sympathy for your frustrations and shamefulness regarding the failure of your Central Bank's governance. Note that superior arguments are always superior to name calling, and are indications of maturity and enlightenment.

Our experts remain willing to help your government despite the foolery of intellectual midgets such as you.

olatayo1984:
For God sake where did I indicate that He is a nigerian? I just reported midterm election. Let comment constructively not abusing. I dont reply please on social media particularly on nairaland but i have to reply this, not everything you abuse people on. Some may get the wrong meaning but i reported it because i follow countries that practise true democrazy.

Blame GEJ's educational system. many of these so-called graduates are brainless. smh

They need to hire one of our Nigerian bright minds to run their Central Bank. Soludo or many many others will do wonders for them....if shame dey catch dem, make dem use our people as consultants wey no get public face.

The last thing we need is another influx of illegal aliens from Ghana.

Is this really true, did BH actually capture Mubi

Why hasn't the Feds unleashed overwhelming force against BH to retake control of this town? SMH

That's what the 'Like' button really does.

^^^^^ Islamist like you , see nothing in an Obama defeat. I am not going to waste my time on you today.

I know you are quite shallow and expect you to run away when challenged intellectually. olodo

I don't know what this artwireless of a guy is celebrating, really. I'm not so sure that the new political climate in the USA bodes well for Nigeria or Africa as a whole.

I don't believe this atlwireless of a guy is smart enough to enumerate his reasons for celebrating. 'Copy and paste' does not require any thoughts. I'd withdraw my statement if he could give us the reasons why a repubilcan control of the US congress is in our best interest.

Talking about facts...here are some
APC (Arewa Peoples Congress) is not an opposition
Party. I am saying it for the umpteenth time APC is a failed experiment there is no amount of lies or propaganda against the PDP that will make me cast my vote for APC. They are the ones championing the instability in this administration thereby making it un-governable, they have traded the peace of our beloved country for their insatiable quest for power and yes they will fail......lemme tell u how;
Come February 2015 the PDP is going to sweep the whole of the middle belt..of course the SS & SE is not negotiable The SW will be divided, one half for APC and the other half PDP now tell me how APC is an opposition Party......If u know what I mean.

smh @ our educational system. I will simply assume that you mistakenly quoted my post and gave the response above. My post had nothing to do with APC.

Ngwakwe:
Ask those Animists, Cultists and traditionalists why they submitted to baptism in churches.

South East is approximately 98% Christians

How did you measure the 98% value other than quesses and counting the Christians within your circle of friends and family? Besides quite a few people who have been 'baptised' are ardent juju worshipers, animists, and/or cultists - i.e. even after being baptised. Your 98% number probably include those folks.

Ikengawo:
Why do people keep quoting that the ss and se is ruled by Christians to justify apcs 80% muslim make up? This is pure ignorance, apc isn't a geographical region and the ss and se are 99% christian. What muslim will they choose among them? Where as apc is a national party that can pick from all parts od the country but only gives posts and nominations to muslims

I think the idea that ss & se are made up of 99% christians is stretching the truth a bit. 40 - 50% Christians my be accurate while the rest are animists, idol worshipers and cultists. Please do not take it the wrong way, I am simply stating what I consider to be facts much like you did above.

GEJ is too loyal to dump Sambo. Those who think otherwise are not very good observers.

The judge's ruling is absolutely the correct one in that Tambuwal is still the Speaker and as such, the only party constitutionally authorized to adjourn and/or reconvene the house, unless he delegates that authority.

It simply shows the cluelessness and lawlessness of Federal Government agents and their lawless police as they attempted to violate our constitution. GEJ needs to thread softly here before he invites impeachment proceedings against he himself. olodo
