How would anyone in his right senses expect a Bukola Saraki led Senate to easily confirm Magu?

It's like telling an ARMED ROBBER to confirm his ruthless JUDGE.

An acting Magu alone is a threat

A confirmed Magu will be a volcano

Bolustic:
If not for Magu, we would not have heard anything about:

ANDREW YAKUBU'S loots,

Patience Jonathan $15 million medical bills and many more


The likes of Tuface and EIE will not see this delay to protest on

Saraki's senate is a senate enemy of the people.

They have a hand in every corrupt pie in Nigeria.

Saraki must GO

What a SHAMELESS SENATE.

The UK and the US should institute an immediate travel ban against Saraki and Nigerian senators in the face of this gang up against the Nigerian people.

darkckUSA:
Nigerians need to protest against the senate blocking Magu . if we come together as one voice in the social media instead of bashing each other negatively, I think we can help fight these old school politicians.

As someone stated above, the real reason to disqualify Magu is because he doesn't obey the law. It's very unfortunate our shortsightedness would have us believe the war on corruption is more important than the rule of law. But, in reality, in the long run, the development of the principles of rule of law and obedience to the courts is far more important than any so called war on corruption. When we actually have ALL government officials and everybody obeying the court, the war on corruption would be running itself.

My dear musicwriter one thousand people like you planted in NL to sway people's opinion for the benefit of those who have ganged up against the people can not achieve anything.

We are trying to build a country and avoid war and anarchy but people like you sell your conscience for pea nuts.

Which law do you want Magu to obey? The law that makes Saraki and his cohorts unaccountable to the people or the law that preserves Justice and equity?

lailo:
may be u dnt know that someone can buy law and judgement in Nigeria. So all these ur rule of law has no meaning in d present Nigeria. Not until people start during jungle justice on looters, ain't think we are going no where.

PUSH1:
What about when the judges themselves are corrupt? Nigeria situation is a very difficult one.

musicwriter:
That's exactly the reason the building of a system where rule of law is king is paramount!!. So, what we should be talking about is how to build strong institutions where everything happens within the rule of law.

President Buhari himself has violated court rulings several times refusing to allow Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu bail. How would Buhari want me to obey the same court when himself doesn't obey? .........You see? ...........Building a system where rule of law prevails is what we ought to be doing first, because it's far more important than anything else.

my brother I understand u. But Nigeria of nowadays is rotten to the extent that to build institution or rule of law, people must die unlawfully. It is people that are called this institution that u are talking about not building. There must be scapegoat and evil people must die or pay unlawfully. Everyone has corruption mentality in dis country and no new system u put down, since it is PEOPLE that will handle it, they will definitely manipulate it. If not dat Buhari detained Dasuki, Zazaky, and Nnamdi Kana unlawfully.His gov would have been worst by their activities. Yaradua used rule of law, we no reach anywhere, GEJ sef on BH issue, d thing got out of hand. We need someone who can unlawfully tried and killed looters in dis country, then u will see that our brain will go back to d default settings. Black people are d hardest people on earth to govern.

musicwriter:
You need to understand what you're calling for is called dictatorship, tyranny, military rule. Is that what you want? Remember, we've been there before!!. It's like going back to our vomits.

And no, you don't understand what I' am saying, cause if you do you'll understand it wouldn't happen under Buhari's regime or even in our lifetime. These things takes many decades to build, it takes tens of years to build the institutions and rule of law, so that rule of law and obedience to the courts becomes SYSTEMIC, and enshrined in the mentality of every Nigerian.

What Buhari is doing now or what you're calling for is what Obasanjo called ''shortermism'' on the part of the Buhari regime and their policies. Assuming Buhari successfully fight corruption to a standstill now, but without following the rule of law, corruption would be back as soon as he complete his tenure, because he would not have laid the foundation for the war on corruption to run on its own.

lailo:
yes I got it NOW. But u just said tens of years? Are Nigerians ready 4 such long time approach? Nigerians that were already judging Buhari after 6 months in office. They want him by now to have solved all our problems that are long standing. I think that's wy he wants to use d shortermism approach which may eventually not pay off at d long run just like u have rightly said. Thanks bro for ur constructive engagement with me on this issue. It shows I have been speaking with a matured mind unlike little kids on Nairaland who would have called out my great grand parents bcs of my opinion. Thanks

musicwriter:
I' am not the kind of person that curse people online or offline. Any educated person would never do that.

And yes, what Buhari is doing is also nice, the only problem is we must wait for another Buhari in future to fight corruption, because his approach would not outlast his administration. It's really painful that building the institutions and system would take years, but the earlier those in government begin obeying the court the better.

You can imagine the benefits of rule of law to countries like the US where Donald Trump recently banned 7 countries from entering into the US. But, irrespective of how good his intentions, the US courts ruled that the ban is unconstitutional. Now, with all his presidential powers he cannot do anything aside what the court said. If he tries going against the court (like Buhari) he would be impeached and removed from office immediately for disobeying the court. Its a very serious offense!!............Do you now see why US citizens would obey the law? Because, anybody commiting crime knows he/she would go to jail even if the father is Dangote.
