I know you and your type, you concern has nothing to do with democracy or what's best for Nigeria.


What proper interpretation of the law means to you and your kind is letting crooks, criminals and evil people evade justice.

What proper interpretation interpretation of the law means to you and your kind is continued destruction of Nigeria by criminal elements

Everyone has a right to say what ever pleases one.

I still remember Guantanamo bay, has it been finally closed down by US?

i am not suprise at buhari's refusal to court orders, however i am suprise at the level of illetracy among some Nigerians who are so happy with this, it might be dusuki and kanu today, who knows whom it will be tomorrow.

ibnakeem:
If Charles Okah isn't held for his brother's sin, on whose sin is he being held? I can't remember Charles holding any major position in MEND. It is Henry who is leading MEND alongside JOMO who is the group's spokesperson. I would like to enlightened on this issue more because I might be wrong. Thanks in advance

I understand that not everyone is a Christian but limiting our knowledge is catastrophic. This trail of Nnamdi Kanu could be paralleled to what the Jews did with Jesus in the Bible. It is like giving a dog a bad name to have it killed. First, they moved from one judge to another but when they found nothing against him, Barabas a common criminal was introduced. For Buhari to bring in the issue of Dasuki when commenting on Nnamdi Kanu's case is undermining the intelligence of Nigerians. What he has done is simply to draw sympathy and justifies his inhuman actions against Nnamdi Kanu whom he has found nothing against.

Like the story of Jesus and the Jews, it would not be surprising if he finds a judge that would heed to his biding. But what is the judge going to base his judgement on? A good guess is that the judgement would solely be based on the chant of crucify Jesus! Crucify Jesus by the those who have sworn to be enemies of truth and justice. This will come when the next judge washes his hands off the case like the last two.

Those who do not learn from history repeat history.

May it be your portion not to have justice in the law court!

Buhari, Our National Interest and Court Orders
A step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity that we voted Jonathan out for.
Nigerians are very forgetful of the past. Nigeria, under the watch of the Fmr President, could not successful keep terror suspects in custody because prosecutors failed to prepare a case. We had a system where court orders and injunctions stalled corruption cases and made a mockery of our fight to defeat corruption and insecurity across the country. This time, we have an executive that is willing to stretch its constitutional powers to keep Nigeria safe and recoup stolen fund, yet we're starting to paint the President as a dictator.

Kanu is a threat to our national security. In advanced societies, suspects are detained for issues as trivial as traffic offence to keep them in custody while a stronger case is put together, why must Nigeria be different? Societies with strong intelligence communities engage whatever means is takes to keep terrorists and extremists out of circulation, must ours be different? Indeed, there are global concerns with regards to ethical issues in national security and intelligence activities of nations; developing countries should not be singled out as if we are the only ones involved in such. Indeed, the primary responsibility of government is to ensure its people live neither in fear of terrorism, external aggression nor poverty and other factors that undermine their peace and safety while it also sustains the fundamental rights of its people. However, many advanced nations have passed through periods of national crisis when liberties were exchanged for greater security, the balance between both being restored after such crisis, and Nigeria is at that point right now.

Within the last 10-15 years, advanced nations have defied international charters against enhanced interrogation techniques, illegal rendition, detention without trial and all sort of measures all for the sake of national security. We have not resorted to this yet you're starting to paint us as bad. We have not rendered our terror suspects to Niger, as you did render yours to Egypt for torture, we have not built illegal detention facilities in Chad, as you've done in Cuba, Kanu has not accused our security agents of subjecting him to waterboarding as you've done to many of yours, so what is the fury about? We understand you did what was necessary for the safety of innocent people, just as President Buhari is doing the same. Nnamdi Kanu's illegal entrance into the country with equipment for the purpose of undermining our national security is enough to get us worried, and get a responsible President to act.

On the NIMASA ex-DG and Arms thieves, I doubt if there is any law in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that restrains the authorities from re-arresting a suspect on different charges after he/she has been granted bail on others. Hence, we do not have to blame the President for identifying measures within our laws to use against corrupt public office holders just to keep them from jumping bail. We had a soft-spoken, gentle-looking President whose lame duck attitude cost us $2.1 billion meant for the war on terror and drove us where we are today, but we have moved on. Now we have a stronger, more willing leader in President Buhari and the best we can do is support him to do whatever is right and just to keep us on the path of prosperity and security again.

As Nigerians we must understand that security is a collective task that requires the mutual cooperation of every citizen, and the understanding that our liberties will not be compromised as long as we remain law abiding and do not act in ways that endanger others, as Dasuki Sambo and his partners are alleged to have done to our soldiers and our countrymen up North. We need to understand that a man that literally sneaked into the country using unconventional methods can sneak out using same methods; that we lack the intelligence capability to keep tabs on all suspects, and just like in past cases, corrupt public office holders may escape justice by choosing not to return to Nigeria if they are allowed to pursue whatever medical excuses abroad and extradition is not as easy as it appears. We are protected as law-abiding citizens, and we have in President Buhari what we have always desired, a strong man with great political will to frustrate corrupt public office holders, a step below President Buhari's present level of high-handedness only brings us back to the era of impunity.

Kanu is a despicable human being, he's a common criminal and purveyor of evil and destruction and people like him doesn't be part of any sane, lawful and peaceful society.

pasol4real:
U are really a dumb head comparing any Nigerian prison with guatanamo bay.a place where condemned n confirmed terrorists are kept .the tortures they get are well deserved cos these are ppl that hav killed several innocent souls .on the other hand nnamdi kanu is only a freedom fighter that is yet to shoot a single bullet.

I quickly want to ask are there nothing good Buhari has done since he assumed power.

Inoknowbook:
For your information, nobody in the US, the president included, dares disobey any court order. The day a president starts that, I guarantee you that he/she will be impeached. So stop posting trash and it's high time you stopped using the US as an example, as you basically know nothing about the country.

You guys should continue encouraging Buhari in his utter disrespect for the rule of law. Trust me. One of these days, the chicken will come home to rooste in your various houses. Pathetic!!

Curlieweed:
First, Gitmo isn't technically part of the US. That's the reason the detainees were kept there. It creates the required environment to keep them in legal limbo (or purgatory if you want).

Secondly, none of the Gitmo detainee is a US citizen.

In this case these people are Nigerians held on Nigerian soil but some criminals in power refuse to obey the simple principles of separation of powers and the rule of law. You can't enforce the law by breaking the law. That kind of arbitrary abuse of power is a pure recipe for anarchy .

I'm not in anyway surprised by all this. Anybody could have predicted that the Mumuharri , the Daura President is too daft to understand how an orderly modern society works.

Enjoy your change ! E no concern me.

You spoke well but let it be said that we must decide democracy or we don't or we ammend according to the rules and arbitrarily

Laws are meant for humans and not humans for the law!

If we continue like this we will get to a point that if a president doesn't like your face he can detain till eternity by deliberately replacing a cleared charge with another

Human freedom is sacred; the human person is of more value than the crimes they are alleged to commit.

The crux is that we mostly don't have a set of principles and charter we based our societies on.

If the judiciary is slow in dispensing justice wouldn't it be needful to seek ways how it can be expedited while allowing the defendant ample time and resources to defend themselves reasonably?

Compare and contrast PGMB VS JONATHAN
1. GEJ sold fuel at #87 while Buhari is selling at average of #300 & above and fuel is selling half its price all over the world, yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful.
2. When GEJ Budgeted 1bn for feeding in Aso-Rock in 2014, (halved it to 500 million upon shouts) APC cried wolf and now Buhari's budget for same is 1.7bn yet Buharists are mute and still think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful.
3. GEJ spent 1.4bn to service all presidential jets in one year while Buhari spends 6bn on same in 6month (they later agreed to 2.5 billion in six months compared to 1.4 in a year for GEJ) yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful.
4. GEJ gave more funding to education while Buhari's 2016 budget favours Ministry of information more than education yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful. what r u informing with 39.6 billion if it is not an avenue to defraud Nigeria LEGALLY.?
5. GEJ spent an average of #‎8million‬ on each international trip while Buhari spends an average of #‎25m‬ on each international trip yet Buharists think GEJ was more corrupt/wasteful.
6. GEJ created Over 5millon jobs in 5yrs while buhari has sacked over 2million workers in 8months. Check Federal Bureau of Statistics.
7. GEJ made Nigeria's economy the best in Africa & quadrupled our GDP in 4yrs while Buhari has dragged Nigeria's economy down to 8th position in ranking in just 8months.
8. GEJ left naira exchange rate @185 to $1 but buhari has destroyed the naira in just 8 months which now sells at #320 to $1.
9. It took GEJ less than 2weeks to select his cabinet while it took bihari 6months to do same.
10. Buhari claimed that subsidy was fraud (Who is subsidizing who) but buhari has spent trillions on fuel subsidy since may 29 and still no fuel while all buharists have suddenly gone dumb.
11. Buhari/APC accused GEJ of corruption but have not been able to pin one stain on him while Muhammadu Buhari him self followed the crowd that entered into the #‎DasukiGate‬.
12. Buhari said that Boko Haram are his misguided brothers while he declared an internationally renowned freedom fighter like Nnamdi Kanu a Terrorist. Can you imagine!
13. Buhari does not have an Honorary WAEC but bags an illegal Honorary (Ph.D) from unapproved El-rufai's university and yet Buharists respect his NEPA Bill more than GEJ's PhD.
14. Buhari used his secondary school principal's recommendation letter to become Military Head of State and again used Court Affidavit to become President.
