Why is the president yet to sign very important bills like 'electricity decentralization' despite being passed by the senate?

tonyuny12:
I want to believe you understand the role of the court when it has to do with constitutional issues?

What will the court use in giving judgement?
Is it not the 1999 constitution you have failed to read?
This same court you keep talking about will still favour the FG because electricity generation,transmission and distribution remains on the 'exclusive list'.....In other words, only the FG have the sole right to provide electricity!
Even if the case is taken all the way to the supreme court,the FG will still win!

The only way States can generate,transmit and distribute electricity is the an amendment of the part of that constitution which means taking the item of electricity from 'exclusive list' to 'concurrent list' which mean making states to have the sole right to provide electricity!

tonyuny12:
But I gave you links to the issues raised and how the Lagos state government through Osibanjo won the case

Leave the court case and tell me what you see on the constitution as it pertains to electricity

tonyuny12:
Will engage in that later

Leave engagement... Go to google and download the 1999 constitution and check for items on the 'exclusive list'...you will find electricity as part of it!
Any governor who created an electricity generating company knowing fully well that the constitution is not in support of such is only playing to the gallery!
Which governor or state will engage in a project or venture without benefitting from it?
Why create a company when someone else will be taking the proceeds?
Why do you think Lagos and other endowed states are waiting for the 'electricity decentralization' bill to be signed into law by the president?

tonyuny12:
From research what you said was in line but they charged the FG to court and won the case of which the present VP was the lawyer who handled the case

What is contained in the constitution as it concerns electricity?
Let's start from there first

tonyuny12:
Yet Lagos under Tinubu stated the first IPP project that led to powering some parts of Lagos. Or is Lagos not part of Nigeria again?

Those IPP go through the national grid...the Lagos state government is not benefiting anything!
It goes straight to the FG!
Is it not a waste of money to build a generating company only to be told and reminded that the electricity generated must be fed through the national grid?

Why do you think there is a bill that has been passed by senate to authorise states to generate,transmit and distribute electricity?

No Governor or state goverment has the power or authority in the constitution to generate, transmit and distribute electricity!

REDshouse:
Someone that can't add 1mw to Anambra for 8yrs

Electricity generation, transmission and distribution remains on the exclusive list in the 1999 constitution.... In other words,only the FG has the sole power to generate,transmit and distribute electricity!
Any Governor or former governor who said he generated,transmitted and distributed electricity during his time as governor is a liar!

So middle belt Brendford dismantled and raped a manutd side that was flexing muscle at the preseason friendlies....

SafariHunter:
I am obedient but I actually agree with Adamu Garba when he said the ASUU strike has political undertones.
The FG has met their needs to a very large extent, 100% pay rise( excluding state uni which is very understandable as most states haven't even implemented minimum wage).
TET fund has released billions.
Earned allowances have been paid.
UTAS is at final stages of testing...



ASUU doesn't care about us, they have a sole responsibility to students and not telling us to vote out APC which we will already do...

Just NEgedu ASUU matter

The 100% pay rise which was agreed on by the Briggs committee setup by the FG will gallop over a trillion annually is actually one of the source of the conflict!
Utas was initially tested and confirmed 88-96% transparent but due to politics from the presidency,they went back to the media to lie that it was filled with glitches and errors instead of meeting ASUU to make the needed corrections on the platform....

Earned allowances?
Are you sure you know what you are saying?
How can they be paid allowances when they have not been paid salaries for more than 4 months now simply because of the no work no pay policy by the FG?

ASUU is actually asking for two things.....implementation of UTAS which had initially been confirmed a functional platform and renegotiation of the 2009 and 2020 agreement that was made for the revitalization of the university system!

If FG is not comfortable with the agreement/recommendations that was made by two committees that were setup by them on the issue of ASUU,why not call ASUU back again and renegotiate rather than go to the media to grandstand!

From my view point,the presidency are the ones at fault here and trying to use the media to act as if they are the victims and depict ASUU as selfish and greedy!

We lose in pre season, every one will distance himself and say we lost because we took the match unserious. But we win against Liepzig in pre season we celebrate it, nobody talks about unseriousness and pre season . If scorelines in pre season don't matter why were you celebrating Nunez's hatrick?

I have answered this regurgitated lines from you previously...however,in case it wasn't quite comprehensible for you.....

Its still a preseason game nonetheless whether we choose to celebrate it or not!
I was quite particular about the manutd game because you made it sound as if it was a major competition that LFC had to win....the only reason why you went silent was when it was obvious that you were just the only one here getting agitated over the loss...even a gunner fan here was shocked that you could make such a fuss about a preseason friendly...much ado about nothing!

mikuz:
I'm not digressing but I'm starting to doubt the integrity of your grasp on football matters because it's laughable to blame a pre season loss to unseriousness caused by preventing injury. I have said this before, there is no safeguard against injury in football. It is an unavoidable risk because you cannot control it.
For instance, let me make it clearer, can you avoid the risk of getting sick? No! Even doctors fall sick! It is an unavoidable risk in life! So is injury an unavoidable risk in football. The only way you can avoid it is to retire from football. because even if you are a bench warmer you can still cop injury in training.
Soon you will tell us that we didn't train for the match because we were avoiding injury in training. Diaz will just be running goalwards with the ball, Maguire will hit him with a flying tackle from nowhere! Gbam! Too weeks injury How do you avoid that?

I'm not using preseason as a litmus test, until you understand why we lost against Man Utd, you won't understand the angle I'm coming from.

The purpose of a preseason friendly is to build fitness of players and create rhythm...hence, there isn't much commitment ab initio in order not to risk a possibility of an unnecessary injury! You can make your findings!
This is common knowledge in sports and just because you do not comprehend such or find it laughable doesn't mean its not possible!

Secondly,a friendly is no big deal...thats why no player or manager puts much emphasis on the performance and result per se as that is a platform to test various positions or strategy with different players either fringe or main!
If you ask a sports person they will tell you the likely time to get an injury is when they return to training after they have had a vacation!

I get the fact that you are trying as much as possible though fruitlessly to evade the main purpose of this argument which is placing too much emphasis on preseason friendly as a litmus test to predict the progress of a team!
You are obviously trying to use the injury part to prolong or extend this argument!

Lets stay true to the bone of contention which is you trying to make so much fuss about the manutd preseason friendly...Simple!

mikuz:
Saying that we didn't take the match serious because of fear injuries is laughable. You dey surprise me. Injuries in football is an inherent risk that can not be avoided. Whether you like it or not, you cannot put a safeguard against getting injured because it's a contact sport and you cannot control your opponent's approach to the game.
If you are going to play pre season in order to boost your fitness level then you should be ready to face the risk involved. You do that at the expense of getting injured.

The only best bet against getting injured is not playing at all, even at that you can still get injured by sitting on the bench. Plus you are even more likely to get injured while playing unseriously than taking the match serious.
If not getting injured is that important, let's scrap pre season matches bros

mikuz:
My concern was that we took the match unserious and allowed them to beat us. If we had taken the match serious they for no see draw.

But that is the very essence of a preseason friendly!
There is a sort of sluggishness during friendlies because no one wants to get any needless injury like Jota!
No sensible player would want to make a 100% commitment in an insignificant game that is only meant to build their fitness level!

mikuz:
My ANGER is that we approached the match with unseriousness and got walloped which should not be. I expected some seriousness from us that day. So they didn't beat us because they were magnificent or better than us. Spot the difference.

I have answered this!
You dont need anger in a preseason friendly...Infact expect upcoming preseason friendly heavy losses in the future!
Much ado about nothing!

mikuz:
If you don't point a gun to me at close range I won't accept that you have made anything known to me.

Never forced you!
Just trying to point out your obvious prevarications!

mikuz:
You dey hype yourself too much That's also how you made it known to me that Mane was very much appreciated at Liverpool and he was paid well above 100k with no concrete evidence. You are trying.

No sir...nah U no wan accept wetin you yarn with your full chest!
Please forget this mane talk abeg...we have trashed this previously...its getting stale!

mikuz:
I don't take pre season matches serious, that's why I was apathetic when everyone in this thread was celebrating after we beat Liepzig 5 - 0. Even after the 2-2 draw against Fulham no one heard my voice because it's still too early to judge the performance of the team.

Its still a preseason game nonetheless whether we choose to celebrate it or not!
I was quite particular about the manutd game because you made it sound as if it was a major competition that LFC had to win....the only reason why you went silent was when it was obvious that you were just the only one here getting agitated over the loss...even a gunner fan here was shocked that you could make such a fuss about a preseason friendly...much ado about nothing!

mikuz:
So you are yet to make anything known to me.

I have...its up there thats if you choose to see it!
Bottom-line is that you should never use a preseason friendly(no matter the club involved) to access the progress or success of a team!

mikuz:
Please kindly revisit that argument. I said it's unacceptable to be losing against our biggest rivals in that manner. In pre season we lost against Salzburg and Strasbourg, why didn't I complain about those losses and chose to tackle Man Utd defeat?

You were hellbent on making an issue out of it despite superior arguments from others that it was only a friendly/preseason!
U said nothing about those two friendlies because we had already made it known to you that the friendlies were insignificant and only an avenue to build on the fitness of the players!
I only wanted to point out to you that no matter how many preseason friendlies won,the major competitions will be a litmus test!
Know this and know peace!

mikuz:
. . . But but but we lost 0 - 3 to Strasbourg we no hear my voice bro

Thats not the issue...U were insistent on the pre season as a litmus test for any team that wants to win a trophy next season!
We warned you to pay less attention to our heavy loss to manutd but you kept insisting on it!
On sunday,Ten haag was served a hot and spicy breakfast by Brighton to enjoy!
He will now discover that its not by winning in the pre season that will determine manutd's performance at a major competition!

@mikuz
How far nah?
U don see say preseason and EPL no be the same?
Manutd just chop hot breakfast just now
No be to score plenty goals for preseason only to lose to Brighton!

Martinez39s:
The mistake that led to all these wasn't really the absence of Ronaldo as some would like to think. The mistake was simply the wrong formation and line up from ETH.

• Erisken should be in the midfield, not in front. That's where his power is. When Ronaldo came on, Erisken drop to the midfield and we saw how he played.

• Van Der Beek should always start, in his role.

• Maguire should never smell the first eleven. Varane should start instead. I don't know if the powers that be want Maguire to start because I don't know why any good manager will start him.

• Fred and McTominay have no business handling the midfield. They are awfully poor in it, especially the defensive part. They are bad players that should go. This is painfully obvious.

• Man Utd is in great need of a very good defensive midfielder that has a good defensive mind, at least one. For years, Man Utd hasn't had such, instead they kept leaving this role to Pogba (who isn't a CDM and doesn't thrive as one) and sub par players like Fred and McTominay.

Comrade stop explaining and chop ur breakfast in peace!

Them don finally chop breakfast after them yab us yesterday

Keyamo forget this trash u r spewing!
You are indirectly shading the president because its obvious he did absolutely nothing!
How can someone come out to justify failure?

Is this man on drugs? The same farmer herder clashes that metamorphosed into kidnapping and banditry?

Insurgency that has now been brought to the seat of power?

APC has absolutely nothing to campaign with!

You can build all the infrastructures but without adequate security,those infrastructures will be useless and be at the mercies of kidnappers and bandits!

PrinceofAgoAre:
Yeah. Early was what i was tryna say... E better be starting.. Is firmino losing form abi na age dey age dey catch up to am.. That guy is like a shadow of himself..

One Na see finish cause am!
When you don play tire for a particular league ur opponents go dey study u like lecture book!

Secondly,age too nah factor though I will prefer he comes from d bench because he has recently been more effective from d bench!

Its the first game so let's just cut them some slack!

After 5 games,we go analyse how far!

PrinceofAgoAre:
Right.. I feel u bro. But he shoulda pulled him in d second half.

But thats exactly what klopp did unless you wanted Nunez earlier in the second half which is OK...No doubt about it,Nunez is a starter from now on!

PrinceofAgoAre:
Today's result happened why?

1.klopp's negligence

2. Poor midfield.

We better be looking to get a midfielder before d tw runs out.. These old tired legs wont take us all d way.

what d fvck was klopp thinking nt starting nunez or pulling bobby out early..

Its a two way thing!
If he had started and flopped,that would have damaged his confidence and klopp would be skeptical about starting him until he gets d needed confidence!
Coming from d bench like he did against man city gave him that needed confidence and that goal will definitely land him as a starter against crystal palace!
Its just early days...we didn't lose...that would have been painful esp against a bogey team like Fulham!

osazsky:
city fan..its only painting me cuz I carried it straight win..1.3 odd..and it cut my ticket...12 games played...though the games left where still much...and I was not expecting the result...outside that nothing much and I didn't watch the match cuz I thought it was a give away game

Simple!
U r a punter!
But u suppose know as a punter say Fulham nah bogey team to LFC
Sorry ohh

AllDModsAreMaad:
Who is this plastic forming real?

Make I no talk true because Klopp na my favorite club's manager?

Klopp messed up with his decisions today, simple!

I'm more real than you can ever be, I have face worst situations with the team but that doesn't mean I won't talk.

Oga u r not a real fan or know nothing about being one!
A true fan stands by the team whether in good and bad times!
No true fan openly insults or mocks their manager that has won everything for LFC when we had been discarded as a mid table club!
We are nothing without the immense input of klopp....U need to get that straight that's if you are even close to being a red fan!
Like I said before,if you are so bitter and will not stand bad times,U can port to Bayern or Madrid or better still pitch ur tent with man city!
Enough of lilly-livered fans forming true reds only to follow rival fans to mock a legendary coach like jurgen klopp!
We even got a draw...maybe U would have shot him had he lost!
Please mention one manager since the time the exit of Kenny daglish in 1991 that has won every trophy for LFC?
In case you are a newbie fan,go and check his record before you say thrash about klopp!
Maybe klopp is the one that told VVD to foul a player...smh

osazsky:
this draw to me is a loss..it would have been avoided

Are you an LFC supporter?
If no then stop crying more than the bereaved!
However,if you are a punter,my response is 'emabinu'

Nice comeback from LFC
Could have lost but came back twice against a stubborn Fulham side!
Could have won but we'll take a point instead of none and move on.....nice partnership formed between Nunez and salah....definitely a sure starter against Crystal palace at anfield!
YNWA

AllDModsAreMaad:
Sometimes e dey be like say Klopp get skoinskoin for head.

With this, I don drop my expectations from this team this season.

I get better things to worry about.

Walahi make una begin drop expectations make we know the real fans of LFC!

osazsky:
The klopp na fools always gifting city the farmers league then he goes and start forming champions league that he will still lose better go get a natural number 10 idiot

WomanUnited no dey compete for title?

osazsky:
Mane will cost liverpool the league and yet he was underrated and been paid peanut

Smh
Still this same stale narrative that has been severally trashed out?
More like crying more than the bereaved!

Do they also know how the family of Peter Obi feels seeing that article tagged 'Obi'?
Its unfortunate that none of them have publicly criticized the shameless and unwarranted article churned out by a supposed professional journalist who should know better than make such derogatory remarks about any candidate just so that he can please his paymasters!
Interestingly, he is refusing to have a taste of your own medicine!
Next time he should try as much as possible to leave out political affiliations and be sensitive with his title and article!

CAPdan21:
I think same starting 11 as against city, just Ali replacing Adrian...

Supported!

Buccalcavity2:
I know its difficult, but for the umpteenth time, I never called you IPOB. Carry your obsession/victimhood elsewhere.
PO supporters gladly call on Christians not to vote a candidate, then Reno Omokri SUGGESTED that northerners shouldn't vote PO. All hell went loose. Reno and his family started facing threats of violence.they even signed petitions that he should be banned on social media. Does that sound right to you?
Unlike you, I have no leader in Buhari, PO, BAT,Atiku .... My sense of judgement is my leader.
I have no problem with politicians throwing jabs at one another as is done worldwide but my limit is the threat of violence over election. That's only characteristic of renegades, the IPOB tendency.
If you feel offended by my characterization of IPOB, No apologies. Leave IPOB to defend itself.
But I like one of your earlier submissions, 'nobody has monopoly of violence'. Transmit that to the Renegades you defend!

Oga save your walls of Jericho that is laced with a spice of epistles for 2023!
Glad we finally come to an agreement on 'monopoly of violence'
Now Communicate such to your fellow benighted and scary-cat comrade Sam Omatseye who seems to feel comfortable playing the victim's card despite being the one that threw 'the first punch'.....If you wish someone dead using such caption,then he should confidently throw another punch instead of acting cowardly by running to the media for protection from an imaginary threat!
