I LOVE YOUR PHILOSOPHICAL POINT OF VIEW

Thank you

Putin is a no nonsense manual, fire him and he fires you too..

There's no devil anywhere, the devils are human beings themselves.
There's a creature called Satan or devil..

If you are good, you are God, if your ways are bad, you are the devil.

Don't be cajoled, the biblical stories is too vague..

God created an angel that later turns to be the devil, the Bible states that God knows what will happen in thousands of years, which means he knows that the angel he's creating will become the devil, then why did he create him?

Nigerians are just aggressive beings. Right to vote and be voted for remain part of his rights.

If you're not interested and feel he didn't do well, then go out and vote against him. If you feel your vote isn't enough then go and meet people with same mind like yours and vote against him. Y'all don't need to start insulting his supporters.

The economy is not good, the economy is bad etc. All your insult won't stop it. Go out and vote and leave the president supporters alone. You can't force me to hate someone because you don't like him.

He's not good enough, that's your opinion. Wait till 2019. This is Nigeria, wailing hasn't changed anything since 1960.

Why are you barking? Who said it's not his right to contest?

They are only asking them their opinions and they stated it accordingly, why are you weeping?

If you like him say it and stop being ridiculous...

senatordave1:
Stop this nonsense repetition please.me and you have settled this issue before in another thread,why resurrect it agsin? Why cant you do your findings instead of being blinded by hatred for buhari? I repeat,inec has been given the power of reordering of election sequence by the constitution.if you must take away that power,you must amend that section of the constitution.amending an electoral act which is inferior to the constitution is ridiculous.apart from that through the power of discretion,what concerns nass with elections in which there are participants? Are there now another inec or what?

I do not like buhari and his style of leadership and a sane person should not either, but let's even keep that aside...

Ogbeni, keep your mouth away from my opinions, why can't you express yourself without quoting me, abi my comment dey ginger you?

The National Assembly can make additional laws when ever it deem fit, or make a separate provision to block a loophole in the overriding interest of the country, the INEC is subject to the people of Nigeria which the nationally Assembly represents.

There's no where in the constitution that expressly gave election ordering to INEC, Yes, it tells them to conduct election, and they can decide when to conduct election but if there's any need to change it depending on the situation and mood of the country, It will..

Every law cannot be in the constitution that's why we have ACTS, that will accommodate those lapses.

It's not written anywhere in the constitution that they have the right to choose election order, and the national says they shouldn't, the national Assembly is not also saying that the election should be conducted by EFCC, nobody is taking INEC powers away from them, they were only told to change sequence not even to shift it sef

In 2015, election was postponed by 6wks by recommendation from the president, even though Jega didn't want to postpone it, he was forced when they gave flimsy security reports and not even a bill or an amendment.

You are talking as if INEC got their powers from heaven or as if whatever INEC does is final even though it's against the general interest of the citizens.

Who is INEC conducting elections for? Where does INEC get their mandate from? Who does the National Assembly represents?

If the people now decide that, they don't want it to go a certain way, so be it!

The matter is in court I learnt.. Let's wait for the outcome, before that, please keep off from my posts....

Why would a man do all this things for an ordinary girlfriend? What will he now do for his wife.

In as much as relationship should be treated assist one another, there should be a REDline one should not cross

One thing I continue to ask myself is, why is buhari afraid of Election reform ordering? It's not that, they are saying his votes will be divided into two at the end of the day na.

He said he's very popular, he goes out and RED carpet rolled out for him, he thinks he has performed, some folks even told us that his popularity brought most of the members of the National Assembly, then let their own elections come first so they can test their popularity and know who is who..

The electorate will also be able to carefully vote for who represents them, because most times, all the attention is always on the presidency, and after it, everybody goes to sleep, waiting for mannas to start falling from heaven..

Truth be told, this 8th Assembly has demonstrated how independence legislator should look like, they shouldn't just be a rubber stamp where everything goes, They should have the balls and all the rights do do what they think is right and not what the president thinks, not that they have done anything tangible for the people much, but if not for them, buhari would have turn himself to something else..

Bravo to Saraki!

Bravo to Dino Melaye!

kokozain:
We know their game. Because someone like saraki cannot win his polling booth(though rigged with just 7votes over PDP)in the last LGA election that was done in kwara. So the only hope is to make sure he use baba influence to come back to red chamber. If their elections comes first the President as a matter of fact will support them after their own has been won they will do anti party against the president. And make him loose. So its very logical. Kwarans will make saraki lose in his polling booth so let's just wait as matter unfolds in kwara politics

Hehehehehehe hehehehehehe hehehehehehe

Saraki is more sure of Kwara than Tinubu is for Lagos

First nation belongs to Tinubu i Learnt

Partnerbiz2:
His people are living in penury..
Go to Kogi and see...
It's shameful.
Yahaya Bello isn't trying at all. This one too..

Hehehehehehe, so sharing his money amongst his constituents make them rich?

SoNature:
Please be informed: budgetary allocation is not spent money. It's a plan, which may or may not be executed.

Back to topic: I think that the quest to remove PMB isn't a good one per se because Nigeria needs a president from the south to restructure the country.

A Nigerian president of northern extraction can never restructure this country. And getting someone else from the north to lead this country means elongating their stay in power.

With present Nigeria's structure even Obama will fail here. All we need is restructuring and attitude change to fix this country

Are you saying that a budget item that has been submitted, debated, passed and signed into law is just there for show? Hahaha, my brother.... I don't know what to tell you.

Let me tell you expressly, those frivolous budget items get attended to first before the capital projects, ask people close to government

FixNaija:
Nigerians! As much as I hate PMB style of leadership, the National Assembly also have their own shortfalls. How can we continue to sink N150B on just 469 individuals for a country of over 180million citizens? Left to me alone, I'd say let's address all the problems in 2019

Where were you when 1.7b was budgeted for feeding in Aso Rock, apart from series of computers and software gulping hundreds of millions, how much do you think the president is taking home as security votes every month?

Divide and blame can't help us

Good deal

Shehu Sanni better enjoy his salary and rest, Nigerians are not worth fighting for.
Let it happen that Senate suspend or take disciplinary action against him, nobody will come out to his rescue.

In saner climes, this revelation is enough to shut down the streets, but Naija people go dey suffer dey go..

But when are we also going to carpet the executive for their bogus security votes that run into billions, u see of President is rich and legislators are poor, they will be easily used, look at state assemblies, nothing to write home about

I don't know what's special about this guy.
His strategy is simple, pay workers salary, then avoid any problems and confrontation with the presidency...

His state came 32 and out of 36 states in 2017 WAEC, the 4 remaining states are boko Haram infested state

His state is the 3rd poverty striken state in Nigeria.
He has done well for himself, but to be president, no way!

LouisVanGaal:
Lol.
The exposure thingy is on the masses.. but the card players resides in the NASS.. abi is it the masses that can remove Saraki, especially in our clime
if we like protest from now till 2019..if the senators don't see any reason to remove him... as it's the case now... he stays!

You think the senators backing Saraki are actually loyal to him in the real sense?? they are ONLY loyal to what they can get from him.. which is senate committee appointments.

Buhari has REFUSED to play the money politics, that's why Saraki has been able to survive this far..
How did you think OBJ did it whenever he wanted a particular SP out of his way...he approaches his SA to NASS who is a former Senator to mobilise candidates amongst themselves that can sign up impeachment order.. in exchange for juicy packages.
that's all, nothing goes for nothing! Do you think if PMB calls Dino Melaiye to Aso rock personally, Saraki won't start panicking? talk of striking a deal with him...

Since the history of Democracy in Nigeria, this particular senate hasn't enjoyed much 'Assistance' from the executives, like they are used to.. their way of fighting back is to oppose the executives from all angle. when PDP were in the majority at NASS, this bickering between the executives and legislators NEVER occurred, because brown envelopes and appointments were exchanging hands quietly..

Let me tell you something, money can't do all things, sometimes with your money, you will be defeated, if money can really work every time, why didn't Obasanjo get a third term with all the money he spent?

I agree that the Senators backing Saraki are doing that selfishly, but not just for the money.

It's in their best interest to team up with Saraki because, if he's embarrassed, they can be rest assured that they are not safe too, they have seen what has been happening before, they know that since the President has enormous powers, coming together to form a very strong bond will do the the good money cannot buy

If the senate has not been united, most of those former governors who has corruption cases might have been in serious trouble now, when they touch one senator, the whole senate rally around him and save Jim from embarrassment.

Give it to Saraki, he has been able to hold them together, with just little grumbling..

uba1991:
I am ashamed to call u human being. Somebody is consuming ur future and ur children future,all u could say is we shud leave senators alone. Do u knw how many teachers can be paid with 13.5mill.? Guy u ar a disgrace

See this slowpoke, has the president not also consumed the future of your parents, your future, and that of your 7 generations to come? Didn't you noticed that your father is a nobody and you are towing the same line?

What am telling you is that, Senators are not the only ones hurting Nigeria, all our politicians do, if we do selective blaming, we can forget about making any meaningful progress in cutting down government unnecessary spending

LouisVanGaal:
Before 99, was OBJ a politician??
He learnt the trade quickly when he returned to presidency in civilian rule... that when you are in power, you are WITH power...
did you not see how he muscled out Senate Presidents.. Evan Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo (RIP) and Adolphus Wabara from their position
how he messed up Atiku who was into politics before him
If PMB really wants to deal with Saraki, he would do it.. and get away with it.. nobody would cry Jack...
He just haven't seen how Saraki can be dangerous to him... And it baffles all

I do not want to say Buhari is not intelligent outrightly, but trust me, he's too dumb to take on Saraki.

Let Me also tell you that, what Obasanjo did those days, he can't do it now, because of the level of politically exposure now.

They have gone again, business is business, and it should be seen as successful, when your services is no longer needed in a company, you will be sacked, and a good characteristics of a good CEO is know when hire and fire.

You can't tell me that there's no married woman currently working in Glo, because I know some who are still there.

If women right activist protest, will they pay for the running cost of the business?

senatordave1:
The reordering of the election sequence by nass is illegal,null and void and would not stand.the electoral act is inferior to the constitution which gives all powers over election matters and voters registrstion to inec.or is nass now also an electoral body? Does students have the power to determine when their exams would start and which would start 1st?

The people can decide to alter any law at any time, to suit the time and purpose, Nigerians use the constitution not the other way round, the legislators are the direct representative of the people, and when the people talk, they have spoken

desgiezd:
PMB's decision not to intervene in the election that brought Saraki in as the Senate President has now turned 360 degrees to hunt him.

Saraki has a strange stranglehold on that Senate and any Senator that opposes him will kiss the dust!

There's absolutely nothing buhari would have done about it.
Saraki is politically exposed and intelligent, buhari is naive and politically senseless, he will be beaten blue black anytime any day by Saraki..

One amazing thing about Saraki is that, you hardly know his plan, you just wake up see him solve the problem without shouting...

Give it to that guy

600k. Location

People talk and shout about legislators but not talk about the bogus sums governors and even president take as security votes..

Governors take an average of 100m as security votes monthly apart from the needles house budgets.

President buhari budgeted 1.7bn naira for the rest entertainment and feeding in the state house, how many 13m will you remove from that, and this is even different from security votes he will be chopping every month.

Abeg free senators

Paperwhite:
Yet Shehu Sanni never rejected his own share of the largesse if he is convinced that it's grossly over-estimated.That is my grouse with him.

How will he reject what the constitution stipulated that he earns.
Why not tell your Senator to reject his

darqly:
By your logic, Fayose is the BEST candidate then, since he does all of the above. Yet his state is in a sorry state (and nowhere near Gombe infrastructure wise). Election is next year, we'll watch and see.

No, but as a would be opposition leader, you should be very vocal about what the other party is not doing well.

If you can't talk or believe they are doing right, then why do you want to take power then? If Dakwambo don't see anything wrong with buhari's economic policies why is he coming out then? Criticism is not war.

U refused to talk about where I mentioned what his taught are on restructuring, his popularity in other regions, it will result to comedy if PDP fields Dakwambo.

Tell me country where opposition took over power with a Dakwambo kind of candidate..

darqly:
That part you mentioned above clearly shows you haven't bothered to do your research and have NEVER been to Gombe and it's neighboring states. The state doesn't even owe salaries (since that's what his useless colleagues use as benchmark) and all roads within the metro are excellent. You do not need your headlamps to drive at night either, and BH or herdsmen conveniently bypass the state. So what is a meaningful achievement again?
APCs secret weapon in the north WAS Buhari, but they've played that incorruptible messiah card and look how far backwards we've gone. Once he loses Tinubu's supoprt, (sooner than later), Buhari is toast.

Hahahaha, salaries is now the parameter to judge performing governors, my brother, Gombe state is the 34 out of 36 states in 2017 WAEC, which means that boko haram states are even doing better than him, Gombe state is one of the top 3 poverty striken state in Nigeria, I can go on and on..

Look, Dakwambo is the type of governor that pays salaries and avoid any quarrel with the presidency.

Let's look at it this way, how Many times have you seen him carpeting buhari on policies, and economy, how. Many times have you seen him taking on the opposition party constructively on governance, what does he think about restructuring, how many times has he condemned fulani killings?

Location

PDP present Dakwambo? That will be the biggest joke in history. Apart from the fact that the guy has not achieved anything meaningful in his state, he does not have the popularity to give APC the run for their money..

Doesn't look like Debbie Rise
