Foreign Affairs › Re: British MPs Vote Against Brexit Deal by nickxtra(m): 1:23am On Jan 16, 2019

Lizzysamuel:
British lawmakers defeated Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit divorce deal by a crushing margin on Tuesday, triggering political upheaval that could lead to a disorderly exit from the EU or even to a reversal of the 2016 decision to leave.

Parliament voted 432-202 against her deal, the worst parliamentary defeat for a government in recent British history. Scores of her own lawmakers – both Brexiteers and supporters of EU membership – joined forces to vote down the deal, New Telegraph reports.

With the clock ticking down to March 29, the date set in law for Brexit, the United Kingdom is now ensnared in the deepest political crisis in half a century as it grapples with how, or even whether, to exit the European project that it joined in 1973.

May’s crushing loss, the first British parliamentary defeat of a treaty since 1864, marks the collapse of her two-year strategy of forging an amicable divorce with close ties to the EU after the March 29 exit.

“The Brexit deal is basically dead,” said Anand Menon, professor of European politics and foreign affairs at King’s College London.

“The EU and British lawmakers will consider the deal dead, so the UK will have no Brexit policy and no viable alternative to the Brexit policy,” Menon said.

After repeatedly refusing to resign or to countenance another referendum, May will make a statement shortly. Her options include setting course for a no-deal exit, brinkmanship to try to secure concessions from the EU, a delay to Brexit, resignation, an election or a referendum.

Politics › Could This Guardian Editorial Of 1985 Also Have Been Written In 2019? by nickxtra(op): 1:21am On Jan 16, 2019*

THE ARROGANCE OF POWER:
Guardian's Editorial, Lagos.

It should be perfectly understandable if, in the wake of the recent coup, Nigerians seem a great deal more sceptical about their prospects than perhaps they need be. Two coups in 20 months, separated from a long stretch of military rule only by four brief years of ignominious civilian administration, do not add up to any settled understanding of the essence of government. What they do create is a climate of uncertainty and instability, conditions that are hardly helpful to a nation so desperately in need of orderly progress and development.

Yet, despite the havoc frequent coups continue to do to our psyche and our international image, the question does need to be confronted whether there are circumstances in which the military intervention, even against a military government, may be justifiable. And the answer to that question must, in our circumstances be a resounding yes.

It did not take long before the Buhari administration, so openly and so warmly received by Nigerians when it came to power, began to show it's true and frightful face. Soon enough, it became clear that his administration had a conception of government in which the governed were regarded as a hostile, adversary force, and in which government was virtually an end in itself.

Laws were made, as much through decrees as by administrative fiat, without any evident regard for the interest of the people, let alone their views. Regulations were casually put out, more as punitive devices than as measures designed to ameliorate the citizen's condition. Practically every segment, except, perhaps, the uniformed forces, was antagonised, sometimes humiliated.

Civil liberties were always precarious in military regimes. But the Buhari administration perfected the attrition of elementary freedoms to the point where the average civilian was driven to see himself, often against his will, as a pariah. He had no rights that the government and it's secret police were obliged to respect, and he lived in perpetual fear of being hauled into jail without even a token charge being made against him.

Criticism, even self-criticism, constructive or foul, was banned. Nothing could safely be said of a government that seemed determined to be remembered more for its self-righteous omniscience than for its decency or humanity.

Blackmailed into silence, Nigerians watched as the traditional foundations of the state were eroded. Ethnicity became a principle of state policy. The economy sputtered along. Educational policy was in a shambles. Our hospitals became graveyards. And all along we were invited to believe, as an article of patriotic faith, that we lived in the best of all possible worlds.

Ultimately, it was the arrogance of the Buhari administration that led to its downfall. For arrogance always leads to moral and political blindness. Blindness leads to isolation, and when any government is isolated from the governed, it's end is always predictable.

General Babangida is yet to vouchsafe a detailed blueprint of its intentions. But he knows, as we do, that his task is well cut out for him. His preliminary statements suggest that he does have a sensible idea of the causes of his predecessor's downfall. The more difficult project is to avoid the same pitfalls. No-one, least of all this newspaper, can lay rightful and exclusive claim to the answers to our myriads of problems. We can resolve them only through painful and collective application.

But the present government must provide the leadership. And that leadership cannot be genuine or legitimate unless it springs from the decisive conviction that this nation is one, and that the best government is that which, for good or ill, carries the majority of the governed with it.

Politics › See This Picture Of President Buhari Shaking hands with Saraki Osibanjo's gaze by nickxtra(op): 7:00pm On Jan 15, 2019

See and caption this picture of President Buhari shaking hands with Senator Saraki when they met at the Army Forces Rememberance Day celebration in Abuja.

The way the number one and three men held their hands and the manner of thier gaze into each other eyes has not only got everyone talking, but the way the Vice President, Osibanjo was now gazing at Saraki has got many talking- what could have made Osibanjo to look at the Senate President in that assumptive expression?

For me, I think there is more to this scene than our eyes and mind can express, but I think Osibanjo is trying to make jest of Saraki.

You are free to caption yours.

In as far as I believe fighting corruption should be thorough and all-round, the CJN should not have been too naive to skip such an important requirement of the law like Asset declaration. He should have even known better. When the citadel of justice is ignorant and found wanting, what happens to the body polity?

...and for Edwin Clark, this is not a tribal matter, but a political matter that requires a political solution.

hitng:
Family and friends of a Nigerian lady, Jane Iyke, pictured above, are currently making frantic efforts to reach her after she left a disturbing note on her IG page this morning.

In a post shared on Instagram, Jane asked everyone to take care of her children, a set of triplets plus one other, if she's no more. She wrote;

''If I am no more, please reach out to my innocent triplets+1, they are unlucky to arrive in an evil family''.

According to her friends, her phone has been turned off and she is nowhere to be found. One of her friends said her nanny said Jane travelled this morning. Actress Toyin Abraham has also tried reaching out to her.

There are speculations that Jane's husband got her angry after he bought his girlfriend a car recently.
Hopefully she is found safe and sound.
