AnanseK:
You and your masters are desperate to reverse the progress made in fighting corruption. Magu will stay as acting chairman and fight you the icons of corruption in the senate. We are not returning to the times when stealing was not corruption.

Koolking:
Why is the senate opposing the appointment of Magu as EFCC Chairman? The man is doing his job well, I expected the senate to support him.

Looks like the senate wants an armchair EFCC chairman that will always be at their 'beck and call'.

President Obasanjo used to pay them in order to get things move faster, I think that era had long past. The senate has to evolved and embrace reality.

deomelllo:
You rightfully quoted the Senate's constitutional obligation to confirm or reject executive nominations, but not the executive powers and prerogative to nominate and keep nominating any candidate they desire including Magu.


There is no law under the Nigerian constitution that says the executive cannot keep nominating and sending the same candidate for confirmation.


The Senate is free to keep rejecting Magu, it is their choice per the constitution, but they can not prevent the executive from nominating the same Magu over and over and over and over again.


Bottomline, this ruling means a lot to the Senate, but it means nothing to the President of Nigeria and it doesn't say and can never say the President of Nigeria can not renominate the same candidate.


Now, the Senate should never be allowed to approve heads of agencies like EFCC especially considering the fact that many members of the Senate are under investigation by the same EFCC/Magu, even the Senate president himself.

It's like asking the armed robber to pick and chose his own favorite prosecutor and deciding Judge. It's called conflict of interest.

The Senate by the deciding to place an embargo on Executive nomination approval is unconstitutional and illegal blackmail, they have to do their job which is to confirm or reject nominees.

The President per his powers and equal powers regarding separation of powers has the upper hand and al the Senate can do is to keep saving face with meaningless court judgments and tantrums.

The Nigerian Senate in it's present form is rubbish, unfocused, corrupt, materialistic, self-serving and incompetent.

LaudateII:
Yes, your friend bought a company in China? You people can tell fake stories, sha. Maybe it was a small SME family shop or start-up mini factory, making kits that he bought, and you are now flaunting it up here. You want to compare that small Chinese shop with Chevron Netherlands firm, that Paddy Adenuga bidded for? Chai, you are very funny.

If it is so easy to buy an international firm like Chevron Netherlands, tell us how many of such international firms you have bought in Western Europe, and how you assembled the financing for such an endeavour.

LaudateII:
You obviously do not know how the world of global, cross-border international businesses, run! Free your mind from this myopic view, biko! How many rich kids of African descent do you know, that have made a bid for an international exploration company in Western Europe, from their bedrooms in Nigeria or other parts of Africa? You think that is how bids are conducted?

LaudateII:
Oh so you think it is easier to leave your country, and go elsewhere and just buy up another firm that is almost like a national icon in another country, simply because of all the things you listed here? Are you aware that such foreign countries have far more stringent rules concerning taxation, labour, bidding, environmental as well as legal obligations, that you have to fulfill? Wait first, if it is so easy according to you, tell us how many international businesses have you bought in Western Europe and other foreign countries?

God bless you brother. The dude no even loose millions of dollars. A guy lost a bid and it's headline. The guy just packaged story well. Businesses loose bids everyday. Businesses loose millions of dollars after investment, fail and start again. This is a story of a man who lost a contract. Many businessmen loose government contracts every otherday. No mind Nigerians and their ass licking attitude

EternalTruths:
Let me correct you even though I share Kanu's belief.

Buhari will win 2019 election because of these 3 factors

1) Ethnicity: You need 2 major ethnic groups against the other major ethnic group.
Unlike 2015 when it was Yoruba/Hausa Fulani against the Igbos, 2019 will be Yorubas against the Hausa Fulani people while the Igbos watch from the sideline and most probably sell their votes to Buhari in order to get their presidency in 2023.

2) Religion: Christians won't support another Hausa Fulani Muslim and Muslims including the ones from the West won't vote a Northern Christian out of fear that their religion is being sidelined and decimated.

3) Party: Divided Opposition

Daeylar:
She isn't spoiling chances of anything,
Just because one person lies about rape doesn't mean everyone else that speaks about rape or kidnapping is lying. Very ridiculous mindset.
Stop using one woman as an excuse to treat every other woman badly,
That's no longer on dorcas
That's on you.

Let them go to court, if she is wrong. Then she should be jailed, the Man's name should be cleared and everyone should move on.

I'm tired of people using this case as an excuse

Whether you believe or not, let the case get judged in court.


It should be as simple that.

DoTheNeedful:
Guys in Nigeria are lucky. In the developed nations, it is very easy for a lady to send a man to jail. They treat rape cases seriously there and ladies can lie you into trouble even your gf or wife if you have issues with them.

dahunsy:
just redoubled checked ur statement and the situ in font.......brains on loan

themonk:
Saying no to feminism is very stupid i must say, calls for equal right between men and women should be an innate characteristic any sane and normal human being should possess.

Wasn't it white people that protested the racial equality years back and now they have accepted their wrongs and black still think they dont deserve racism when they want to only have subservient women in the society.

True! Most african women who claim to be feminists do not even have an iota of idea of what it means and most african males who reject the idea are just afraid of losing their imaginary ego or are just too religious to accept that women are just as human as they are.

This is the age of reason, let your irrationality fly away and give women equal opportunities and equal rights. Anyother thing outside this is not feminism and anybody who rejects what is inside this circle is not human enough.

In my view every sane human being whether male of female should be a feminist.
