The proposed legislative immunity will only cover acts (or words spoken) that were done in the legislators' official capacity i.e. speaking on the floor of the senate and/or House of Reps, or other acts that may be performed during an official legislative function.

The immunity won't cover any member of the NASS who commits murder, fraud, electoral malpractices, defamation (when he/she is not working in the respective chambers of both houses) etc.

BendDownSelect:
This offer looks good but in all honesty, more like some people are planning to stand alone. ie Bukola

Lol. It will also benefit the likes of Atiku, Donald Duke or Peter Obi

After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you

It's a big set back for transgender rights.

baralatie:
not possible

It is possible

yelinco1:
So does that also applicable to state? why don't they bare who ever has contested before in their states from contesting for senate? Presidency should not sign such selfish jare. wereh senators.

Even if Osinbajo vetoes the bill, the NASS would still override the veto.
So, for all practical purposes, once the amendment is approved by at least 24 state legislatures, just know that it will be one law one way or another.

Builder5:
I nor gree

Lol

aariwa:
pdpguy you have got yourself a new woman.I think she knows a lot about the bar and wants to advice you

Na only friendly chats o

Hell no
Except I'm paid $2 million, then I will reconsider my stance.

If I were you, I wouldn't help his kids. They go to their other relatives for help, after all, you are not their father.

Even if Giuliani initially got the job as Attorney-General, Giuliani would still have recused himself from any Russia-linked investigation. The former NY mayor said Jeff Sessions made the right decision to recuse himself, some months ago.

Who is Trump going to replace Sessions with?

FortuneTeller:
It's a great series but you have to start at the beginning.
As for housing, you can definitely move to this area and get a 4 bedroom for that price. but I don't think the bar is reciprocal. So you would have to take the one here. It might be better for you to move near DC to avoid retaking it. Also Virginia Beach won't be too far from you. I don't know about getting a house that cheap near DC, but a lot of Nigerians are there.

It seems you are looking to settle down fairly soon. Do you have a fiancee yet?

Lol. No girlfriend yet, let alone a fiancée. My next window for entering a serious relationship would be my 2nd or last year in school.
Hopefully, I'll meet some African lady here.

If I were to move to D.C., I'd have to wait for 4 years after being admitted to the bar here, in order to be eligible

FortuneTeller:
You can easily get that here lol, but the beach is 45 minutes away.

Anyway how was work? Did you watch Game of Thrones last night?

I don't watch the show cos I don't even have HBO/Netflix. But I hear it's so interesting.

I don't mind a 45-min trip to the beach if I can get cheaper housing . Na money be the koko.

Work is good, although by next month I'll definitely not be working due to L-school commitments.

Following FIFA's decision to expand future world cups (from 2026) to 48 teams, and granting Africa 9 guaranteed slots, CAF could expand the qualifying tournament in such a way that the big and 'mid level' teams in Africa can maximize their match-day revenues from home games.

CAF could propose 3 groups of six teams. The top 3 in each group automatically qualify to the WC, and the best 4th-placed team goes into the intercontinental playoffs. This system will guarantee the big teams, such as Nigeria, play 10 matches in total, including five home games. There is precedent for this because the qualification competition for the 2006 World Cup featured a final phase of 5 groups of 6 teams.

I support diaspora voting only for presidential elections.

The leaders of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) are in the country to ensure that about 17 million of their members spread across the world participate in elections to choose those to be at the helm of the country.

At a joint press conference ahead of the July 25th Diaspora Day celebration, NIDO's Chairman, Mr. Kenneth Gbandi, disclosed that the organisation was sending a delegation to meet with the leadership of the National Assembly to achieve the goal.

He expressed optimism that the quest for voting rights for Nigerians in diaspora would be actualised since there is a budgetary provision for the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to capture the data and issue identity cards to them abroad.

The Chairman of NIDO's Board of Trustees, Mr. Samuel Adewusi, who spoke in the same vein, stressed the need to pass the Electoral Act and the 1999 Constitution as amended to pave the way for diaspora voting.

He wondered why Nigeria is yet to take a cue from less endowed countries like South Africa and Niger on the issue of diaspora voting and representation in the National Assembly.

Reiterating NIDO's commitment to providing brain power and technology transfer to the country, he said the fact that Nigerians in the diaspora remitted $24 billion to the Nigeria economy in 2015 spoke volume of the organisation's contribution to the development of the country.

"We are not boasting here. If you look at the $24 billion, it is more than what Nigeria gets in foreign direct investment within five years from the West, our so-called friends. But for those remittances, I don't think Nigeria would be in this position now to talk.

"Those remittances alone are enough to show what Nigerians abroad are doing for this country, not to talk of what we have to give in areas of technology transfer, knowledge transfer like the ICT, and the trauma centre being built by one of us," he said.

Yes that is very true. But remember don't get into too much debt. It's almost impossible to get out of it once it gets too far. Once that happens, the government can seize all your property if you don't pay. You won't like it in this state. It's a little backward and a lot of village LOL. I would much rather visit you in San Diego. Well I think I'll go to sleep since it's getting late in my time zone. Good night cutie.

I'll qualify for a partial scholarship for the first year, but I could get a bigger scholarship after the first year if I'm amongst the top 30 of my class. Just praying to get the admission letter.

I don't mind living in the village if I can get a decent 4-bedroom house for $150,000, and pay $1.89 for gas

Alright dear, goodnight. Nice chatting with you

FortuneTeller:
That's not too bad. You could get a 3 bedroom in my town, but the beach isn't far from me and the prices are about the same. If you are single and have a roommate, I'm sure you can save a lot. Are you playing to stay there for law school?

Yep. I'll get some fin aid, but I won't work at all for my first year. The admissions advisor told me it's not advisable for first year students to do any type of work due to the volume of school work to be done.

So, it's most likely that I'll be doing part time work in my 2nd year.

BTW, where do you live? I may just move there to take advantage of the cheaper housing

FortuneTeller:
Oh my... I am gaining weight. You know these American doctors have a test for everything and want a dollar for every word. It is well.
Anyway, I've never been to Cali. Do you like it out there? I'm thinking of visiting next year for a Hollywood tour.

These American doctors are just threading on the side of caution; they don't want you to sue them for medical negligence (malpractice)
You know we are a lawsuit-happy nation, lol. Your feet must have been swollen by now

Anyway, I like San Diego: it's got the perfect weather and the beaches are serene.

The only downside is the cost of living. If you find a one-bedroom apartment for like $1,000, just know that you are lucky. A professor friend of mine, here, said she pays $1500 for her one bedroom apartment. I was shocked. But I told her there are some in my city that go for no more than $1,200 in my area.

That is Pacific Beach in San Diego. We hung out there last month

FortuneTeller:
I don't chat off the site. It keeps me honest. I have a husband and I'm pregnant lol. But surprisingly I know exactly how to reach you if I really want to. For now, let's just keep it cute and chat here on old threads.

Haha
I wouldn't want to cause problems
How are you coping with the pregnancy?

FortuneTeller:
And people are still wondering why God doesn't answer prayers in Nigeria...

Lol
It's just her unique way of worshipping God

FortuneTeller:
Well chat with me when you have time. Post some pictures from west coast sometimes.

Yeah
I'll send u a pm

FortuneTeller:
Digesting a blooming onion.

Enjoy your meal

PDPGuy

Hey cutie. What are you doing today?

Meeting with friends dear

You?

Thankfully, CAF rejected the idea of hosting the AFCON outside Africa. It was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place.
If Ghanaians feel that they can't host it alone, they could partner with Nigeria in co-hosting the event. Simple.

I thought the minimum age the NASS is seeking was 30 years for president and governors, and senators; 25 years for House of Assembly members and members of the House of Reps?

Anyway, I think 30 years is too young for someone to be a president. Instead, the minimum age for the presidency should be 36-37. People with, at least, 13 years life experience after completing higher education, should be the ones to contest the highest office in the land.

Hmm

You risk a ban for putting up the pic of another Nairalander without their consent.

The MIC sure has Washington by the balls.

You see why bulk purchasing is very important? Use 500K buy am ring and chow am for free at least 5 times. That would have saved you about 2M.

You gerrit

OkoYibo:
Smart guy.

Instead of paying her 40k for each time you have sex with her, just use 50K to buy her an engagement ring and chow her for free.

That's what you call bulk purchasing.

Lol
You think she go accept N40k to fvck a guy? 'Socialites' at her level accept nothing less than N250k. In fact, na only millionaires fit afford her services.

Yes. Scaramucci's appointment signals the President's intention to go all out to battle Mueller and his team fire for fire.

Meanwhile, SHS is only the third female White House press secretary, following Dee Dee Myers (Clinton's administration) and Dana Perino (Bush 43's administration).
