LOL, Happy new year to you too.

Na so I see am ohhh, Have been paroling Aso Rock and white house since Yaradua left the country, lol , How are you?

Am fine, but can be better with good news from my country.

Since you are now a parole officer in white house, can you at least plead with Obama to remove Naija name from Terrorist list.

largie:
Haba do you want to kill him again?I am sure turai would have covered their illegal tracks let him just go back to katsina or bauchi with the yugudas(they had a baby reently)he should be able to babysit

If only he will do the right thing by resigning first, otherwise he can die in office for all I care, because the job of the president has to be done.

Nobody wants a mumu, siddon look president. Yeah! the babysitter job will be good for him.

Foo.lish people!. These to them are matters of higher priorities now?

[size=18pt]Jonathan needs Yar’Adua’s letter to become president, says court[/size]

The Federal High Court in Abuja ruled today that the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, does not require an enhanced authorisation to function as president. Justice Dan Abutu said this today in his ruling, adding that on the basis of his delegated or assigned powers by the president before he travelled, the vice president could be said to be performing the functions of the president. Justice Abutu held that the vice president has been discharging the functions of the president as were assigned/delegated to him by the president before his trip on November 23rd, 2009.

The judge also said [size=14pt]the only way[/size] Mr. Jonathan could become acting president is if sections 145 (1) of the 1999 Constitution was complied with. Section 145 reads: “Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President.”

Mr. Abutu was delivering judgment in a suit filed by Christopher Onwuekwe, that the present scenario, where the president has travelled out of the country because of his failing health and is unable to return is an indication that there is no head of government and that the situation has led to major crisis capable of threatening the stability of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Specifically, the suit was filed against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Federal Executive Council, asking it to order Mr. Jonathan to begin exercising the powers of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in his absence.

Am I the only one seeing double talk, contradictions in this judgement?

Are there no limitations to what you can do as a VP without an enhanced authorisation to function as president?

tanimz:
I believe he has been dead for about 50 days now, why else would we not know anything about him The so called interview or whatever that he said on BBC cannot be proven to be true, What a shameless man!!! I do hope he is dead!!

Iya egba. Happy new year. I see your location has changed from Ijebu/egba to Aso rock/white house. Powerful lady!

Kobojunkie:
UUmm. . . The BBC report states he 'has full powers' in Yar'Adua absence. That in essence means there is no power vacuum because the VP can continue doing the job the President would have been doing if he were in Abuja.

Does that mean Jonathan has the power to sign the budget and NAS bills in to law, swear in the chief justices of d federation and fire any minister he doesn't need?

na lie.

anyway if true, he is welcome.

he should as a matter of urgency address the joint sitting of NAS, visit all the 36 state capitals, address the fuel scarcity problem and seek audience with Obama.

am sure he will need his Saudi hospital bed again in 1 week of resumption.

Beaf:
This is an Aondoakaa job.
We need to await the result of Falana's case, as well as the NBA one amongst others. Those cases look likely to deliver a death blow to Aondokaa's machinations. Right now, this present judgement is snake oil.

[size=33pt]The battle continues![/size]

Exactly my sentiment. The judgement says more or less nothing.

Fhemmmy:
Now we need to see what Jonathan would do, if he would be able to do anything.
I just hope they wont terminate him

Fhemmmy:
Now we need to see what Jonathan would do, if he would be able to do anything.
I just hope they wont terminate him

The topic is misleading. The judgement did not say he should be sworn in but that there was no power vacuum. read the above bbc report.

PS U are right knowledge (and not money) is true power. How i wish our people (continent-wide) would learn and live by this!

I wish so too. If only we can put half of the efforts we put on getting money at all cost on getting knowledge, we will be better off and the world will be a better place

cheers!

[size=18pt]Nigeria deputy 'has full powers' in Yar'Adua absence[/size]

Nigeria's vice-president has the right to perform all duties on behalf of sick President Umaru Yar'Adua without any formal transfer, a judge has ruled.
It is the first of four cases aiming to clarify who rules Nigeria during Mr Yar'Adua's absence. He has been in a Saudi Arabia hospital since November.
Ministers and the lawyer who brought the case said they were satisfied.

But some critics want to see Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan become official head of state.

Correspondents say the issue is so sensitive because of the ruling party's system of alternating power between north and south.
While Mr Yar'Adua is a northerner, Mr Jonathan hails from the south.
Northern powerbrokers may be reluctant to see a southerner take over officially before the next scheduled presidential election in 2011.

'No power vacuum'
Justice Daniel Abutu said Mr Jonathan would only be legally regarded as "acting president" if he had received written instructions to do so.

Christopher Onwuekwe, the lawyer who brought the suit against the government, said he felt the judge had upheld his case.
He said he went to court only to confirm that the vice-president had the power to carry out the functions of the president.
Justice Minister Michael Aondoakka welcomed the ruling, saying it showed there was no power vacuum and would allow ministers to get on with the business of governing.
He said there was now no justification for the other three cases - due before court on Thursday - to go ahead.
In one of the cases, rights lawyer and activist Femi Falana wants all decisions taken by the cabinet during the president's absence to be annulled.
In another, the Nigerian Bar Association is demanding that he hand over power formally to Mr Jonathan.
And a rights group wants Mr Yar'Adua declared "missing".

In his first public remarks since falling ill, Mr Yar'Adua told the BBC on Tuesday he was in constant contact with his deputy.
He said he was recovering and hoped to be able to return to Nigeria to resume his duties.
Doctors say the president is suffering from acute pericarditis - inflammation of the lining of the heart.
He also has a long-standing kidney complaint.

The question is 'What is the implication of this judgement?'

big pastor:
People have no loyalty to Nigeria or its constitution,
Imagine BILL CLINTON himself was[b] impeached [/b]over having zex with a babe and lying about it. though acquitted

and yaradull left Nigeria 50+ days without adressing the senate, the house or media and people are talking about him coming back and still continuing his presidency.
If Nigerians in the govt respected themselves he would be impeached for not imforming anyone of his absense.
It shouldnt even be about his health, his careless attitude alone in any other country would have him impeached.
Bunch of odes who dont respect themselves or their positions in the govt.

I SINCERELY AGREE WITH YOU ABSOLUTELY

impeached? when?

OP. I fee l you.

Sure there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Werther Yardua lives or dies, likes it or not, he must vacate by next year.

Let's not despair yet, and let us not lose focus of 2011

Let's ensure that our votes count and that we have a true leader by 2011.

orisirisi.

anyway the video is titled Yaradua in 2007. beside i dont even believe that was yaradua

Foo.lish lawmakers lawbreakers

many of these NAS people are big f.ools

how are we sure, it was Yaradua that was behind the phone?

why was the call coming at the eve of the save Nigeria rally and NAS debate?

Somebody somewhere is fooling some people, but not me.

illusion2, please dont call Goodluck a bloody vice president,the guy is trying his best because is not in his position to declare himself as president,we should all blem the federal council or what ever the call themself.But i only blem Goodluck for not confroting U.S vice president about Naija being black list as terrorist country

Nobody is asking him to declare himself the president. But let him at least exercise his power as Vice president especially now that the president is not around.

He has been too quiet, dull and inactive for my liking. The best time for him to shine is now. He should be on the side of the people. Even if it means losing his face b4 some few disgruntle political sycophants, he will always be on the good side of history and People will always remember him for being on the side of the truth/majority. For example we will always remember Atiku for standing against 3rd term.

thanks. You are welcome.

When Saminu Turaki was governor, all his commissioners and top government officials used to live in Kano because Jigawa was totally inhabitable for them. I think one of the first things Sule Lamido did was to order all top government officials to either live in Dutse or resign from office. That is impressive as well



@OAM4J

just wondering are you presently in Guildford?

No. Not even in UK at d moment. But will be in London sometime this week for few days. Why did u ask?

The nation itself requires life support

lol. funny but true.

this is funny. But may God saves us.

OP

The 1st question you need to answer is: Why do you need the visa? Is it for family visit, work, business or study?

Your answer will determine the type of visa you need and the documents required.

Don't be discouraged, if you have a genuine purpose and you meet the requirement, you will get the visa.

[quote author=TOPE2000! link=topic=378309.msg5290071#msg5290071 date=1263170246]Really [/quote]Trust me. But don't tell her i told you. It is family secret.

is this a subtle campaign for Goodluck's vice president?

Even if it is, in as much as it is not a make-believe/lie or an exaggeration, it is welcome.

Truth be told.

Am a Nigerian, but no coward!

I just wouldn't want to die for nothing or waste my blood for no reason.

All that are happening are probably blessings in disguise

I await the day Nigeria will be declared a failed state.

Then we can have new nation or nations worth dying for.
