The term "hard course" should be used relatively.

pls can you give us 5 areas in which he has failed ? its people like you that criticize others where you avent even done any reasonable thing around your domain that people can point nd applause for you, yet u come here opening your mouth talking rubbish because you hear others talking.

The blind can see and the deah know that he has failed.
I may have just a Bsc, but I know how sound I am. Read across literature, politics, economics, history, diplomacy, sociology, law, philosophy, drama, etc to make me relevant. I don't just read withing the field I got my Bsc. What does Jonathan read? This is the same question a political scientist, Prof. Ayo Olukotun asked in his column in the Punch last year. Obama and Cameroun, though busy, but always take delivery of cattons of books which they always read. The other day a US-based PR tried to deceive us with Jonathan reading a book in a dark room.

In your wildest imagination! Go and rule ur kindred(umunna) first and then come back and comment!

No wonder your type were deceived by his being the first PhD holder to govern Nigeria. I'm sure you that Governor Aregbesola who has an HND in Mechanical Engineering is politically sound than Jonathan. If there is anybody whose PhD should be used as a campaign tool to get votes, it just have to be Dr. Kayode Fayemi, BA Unilag; Msc OAU; PhD London. He made marks in the US and the NIPSS, Kuru-Jos.

John maxwell said ''Leadership is influence nothing more nothing less'' education is and enhancer of leadership it simply broadens ones perspective. GEJ must have thrived as a teacher in uni port but follows don't want to be taught they want to be led. If he weren't a good lecturer he would probably have been fired from his lecturing job, I really do not think we should quantify leadership with a level of education I therefore do not support the stance of the professor and also he should remember that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

He never taught in any university, but the Rivers State College of Education.

baccaspace:
This is not supposed to be news. I don't know how Jonathan managed to get his PHD, whoever was his supervisor deserves to be jailed for a bad job.

An independent investigation should be carried out in the University of Port Harcourt to find out if he really go it on merit.

newguy1:
What d mess does dis yeye professor mean as if he himself is not an enbarassment to to d brilliant minds in nigeria.using style to show is surport to apc. After all oga jona didnot say he got is phd in human relation or governance. Back off dude jona for 2015

. . . and what would you say about Dora Akunyili who handled the Ministry of Information with her PhD in Pharmacy, not Management?
Stop giving excuse for Jonathan's failure.

If there is anything you can't take away from the political space of the Yoruba people, it defintely has to be the political consciousness of even the not-so educated. Visit any newspaper vendor's stand you will be surprised at the heated debate involving retired civil servants. The youths are sometimes seen with them discussing. I remember when I visited OAU, Ile-Ife last year during the series of lectures organized to mark the retirement of Dr. Dipo Fashina; at breaks I saw students, professors, leaders of organized labour and other intellectuals engaged in heated political debates. There was no discrimination on the ground of age, sex or academic attainment. It was a typical example of what the juju maestro, Ayinde Bakare called "baba at'omo jo n jeun po, elegbe me gbe . . ."

Op, do u still remember buhari calling boko haram northern agitators that should be given a V.I.P treatment.

No. But I remember former PDP Chairman and Ambassador At Large, Bamanga Tukur, calling Boko Haram freedom fighters.

gmo seeds and foods are not safe .. this is one of
the greatest scams .. that would reduce the
natural potency of food and also make us
subservent to the gmo companirs forever . Forget
that crap of it being locally produced .. there is a
patent for transfer of gmo technology and also
royalties would be paid.
I would give kudos to the minister of Agriculture ,
he is serving his paymasters well ... western
imperialism at its highest ... while european
countries are rejecting gmos .. we are embrscing
it whole heartedly .. Nigerians should wakeup and
smell the coffee

What is GMO?

The government of 1979 was formed by NPN/NPP. That was how NPP gained the speaker's seat, before a formal decampment by the speaker to NPN, after the 1981 crises.

God save us from the revisionist.

I'm sure you don't know the difference between a coalition and an alliance. I'm sure you will f00lishly delete my comment, akpa.

BOAR:
and that would have effectively terminate their looting.

The way the mind of a politician work is to forever have access to the government treasury, I'm sure they wouldn't pray for anything to terminate that.

If this administration is terminated this minute, our politicians have enough to sustain them even outside the country. Poor dey seek asylum? Who go giv am money to buy flight ticket?

Montaque:
section 68(1)g.

Could you explain how he lost his seat, using that section?

pendy79:
There was a legal and valid precedence of a minority party heading the House of Representatives in 1983 when Chief Edwin Ume-Ezeoke of the Nigerian People's Party as Speaker in a parliament with the National Party of Nigeria as the majority.

tambuwal surely has justification to retain his seat and no amount of intimidation will and can change that.

"Ogene said the 1999 Constitution in Section 50 (1b) (as amended) clearly stipulates how a Senate president, deputy Senate president, House speaker and deputy House speaker could emerge irrespective of the party that has the majority. He observed that similar incident happened in the Second Republic when the then speaker, Hon. Edwin Ume-Ezeoke of the Nigerian Peoples Party, NPP, was in the minority party in the House while the National Party of Nigeria, NPN, was in the majority. Ogene stressed that the 7th Assembly was broad minded and would remain one united House of Representatives in the matter"

I observed the party of Edwin Ume-Ezeoke on google has been changed to NPN. I suspect it has been edited just like the profile of Stella Oduah when her claim of having a PhD was busted. Naija I hail.

BOAR:
Stop advertising ignorance.

Edwin Ume-Ezeoke in the Second Republic was the Speaker using a minority party.

That boy is too däft to be engaged. I once remembered he said a judgement delivered in favour of Lamido Sanusi by the High Court in Lagos State doesn't have effect in Abuja. How däft could one be!

BOAR:
Yes the ordinary citizens will be affected, but don't forget that they have a bigger stake in this democracy, it will be in their own interest not to overheat the polity.

They have nothing to lose. If anything like, say, a coup takes place, they will run abroad to enjoy their loot.

Montaque:
the CFRN 1999 as amended

Give me the section.

BOAR:
If there should be crisis at all, ALL of them will be the ultimate losers.

Have you forgotten the saying, "if two elephants are fighting, it is the grass that suffers." The masses will suffer as deliberating on bill will be put on hold. Plenary will be discussing more of the eligibility of Tambuwal to remain. Court cases will also distract members.

BOAR:
The leaders of the country will do everything to avert this.

PDP will be wise to allow Tambuwal to keep the seat for the few remaining months, any aggression towards him while making Ikedioha the apparent and ultimate beneficiary can only escalate the brouhaha.

I pray there is no crisis. Had it been plenary is not adjourned, there would have been a serious crisis in the House. Who knows, Tambuwal may be thrown out of his official quarters.

Montaque:
the IGP withdrew his security details only,and its justified on the ground that he is not a member of the house anymore. About a new speaker,it will be the person the house will vote in his favour when they resume plenary. It can be anybody. And there is no need for court action,its a positive declaration.

Who says he is no longer a member?

CrinkumCrankum:
Then you should have ask Amaechi and other defecting governors to resign first.... Read ur constitution the section do not apply to Governors

The case of Amaechi and others is in the court.

CrinkumCrankum:
Dumby...Governors have Immunity and the law only apply to HoA.....

You're the dumb here. What has immunity got to do with the call for Mimiko to vacate his seat for defecting to PDP. Do you even understand what immunity means?

Montaque:
yes the case was instituted,but what was the decision on it? The sections they relied upon is nebulous. That cannot be compared to the clear provisions that a member of parliament stand disqualified as as such if he defects without just cause.there is no similar provision for the Governors in the CFRN. Its a lacuna and Its still to be decided by the court. Please dont make the comparism, TAmbuwal as far as the constitution is concerned is no longer a member of the house,irrespective of the case in court for the Governors that defected.

Be reasonable! If PDP feels what the Speaker did was wrong, are they not supposed to take him to court? By withdrawing his security details and making Ihedioha the new Speaker would only result to crisis when the House resumes plenary in December. This may snowball to a national crisis.

gateleo:
Who gave Tambuwal the speakership mandate? PDP or the opposition members of the House. Tambuwal was never the candidate of the PDP. The PDP wanted Mulikat Akande, while the opposition and majority of the PDP members voted for Tambuwal. We should go back and check this fact before coming here again.
The procedure of electing principal members at the Legislature is NOT based on party affiliation. The "standing order" only says that members "shall elect among themselves". No mention was made about which party to elect from.

This is impunity in the highest order. Is the police the court to interprets the constitution? Is the IG lackey of the pdp?. Tambuwal is still the speaker of the house of rep. Read the provisions of the constitution on the removal of speaker. This matter is still in court. Jonathan should be very very careful

May you increase in wisdom.

There is no problem as long as SLS tells Rabiu Kwankwoso the outcome of the meeting, for onward transfer to other members of APC.

I won't be surprised if AIT broadcasts this crap, only to come back to appologize.

This is one of the disadvantages of just anybody owning a blog.

I believe Tambuwal had done some underground work before his defection. I've always known him to be smart. He may have the support of members of the House who are even PDP members.

Teacher, you can't even differentiate among "front page", "from-page" (where did you get that from?) and "facebook."

chukwudi44:
SO YOU MEAN THE POLIC SHOULD ALSO WAIT FOR COURT ORDERS BEFORE THEY ARREST ARMED ROBBERS TOO? THEY MOVE IN WHEN THEY SEE ANYONE WHO THEY THINK IS GOING AGAINST THE CONSTITTUTION AND TAKE HIM TO COURT FOR INTERPRETATION.THE TACTICAL TEAM FOR THEM TO DO WAS TO WITHDRAW TAMBUWAL'S SECURITY AND ALL ACCOLADES ATTACHED TO HIS OFFICE PENDING WHEN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTIN RULES ON THE MATTER.

Illiterate! You're a big f00l. Never quote me.

chukwudi44:
The IGP is simply abiding by the dictates of the 1999 constitution.he is enforcing the law he swore to uphold,s it is very much in order

Don't be sìlly. Is the IGP a lawyer or a judge to use judiciary review to interpret the Constitution?
