Daboomb:
The fact that you said "No One" (instead of saying "I did not", shows that you are one of the Certificate Forgers masquerading on Nairaland.

Daboomb:
You are a dunce....... and l am sure you also carry-around, a forged 3rd Class certificate!

Let me give you small lecture here:

We operate a Three tier system of Government, each with separate responsibility and authority.
That is Democracy for you.

The job of the Senate (Legislators) does not go beyond MAKING LAWS (or to put it in lay terms that you will understand, "passing Bills" that will/may later be accented into law, by the President)
They also have secondary oversight responsibilities

The job of the Executive is to "Execute"Laws ALREADY passed into the Constitution.
All "Executive" dealings (Total Control over the Police, Armed Forces, Appointments/Removal of Heads of Parastatals and Agencies, e.tc)


Where there is a "dispute" in the "Interpretation of the Law" between the Legislators and the Executive Arm of Govt, the JUDICIARY is empowered to step-in and make a final and definite (binding) interpretation of that law and then PASS IT to the executive to IMPLEMENT.

This is the whole summary of the PRINCIPLE OF SEPARATION OF POWERS.

I have deliberately emphasised some phrases/words to draw your attention to them because they are KEY WORDS.

*What we have now is a criminal Senate that wants to do the job of the Judiciary (prosecution of anyone that does not toe it criminal line of behaviour or wants to challenge its abuse of power).
*We also have a Senate that wants to do the job of the Executive (Appointing people to head Parastatals and Agencies of Govt).
*We also have a Senate that wants to arrest and lock people up (job of the Executive arm of Govt - The Police )


I know most of the Senators are illiterates elevated beyond their cranial capacity, l know most of them are Certificate forgers that claim to posses various "bought degrees", l know most of them are criminals who murdered others to become Senators, l know most of them are criminals who dont pay tax on items they import or cloak it under the cover of the Senate, so they can avoid paying tax on it, l know most of them have ZERO integrity yet they sit over people with a hundred-fold integrity than them and pronounce them unfit for a role........

...so, l am not surprised they are embroiled in a "battle of ego and self", instead of doing the job they are paid to do - Make LAWS for the betterment of the country.

*That they do not know that they cant force the President to drop an appointee, despite not confirming the person, shows how shallow they are.

*That they do not know they cant force the Head of Customs (A political Appointee) who retired as a Colonel of the Nig. Army, to wear a para-military Uniform of Customs, shows they are learners and used to blowing hot air.

*That they think Nigerians can be fooled with their Kangaroo Panels here and there, which asks and listens to foolish questions/Answers, shows they are still living in the past.

*That they are led by a serial criminal, a thief, a forger and a looter of Kwara State, shows they are all criminals, serving their own personal interest.

The day of reckoning is getting very close.
Nigerians will march on that Senate and bring it down wholesale.
They think it is impossible, so they act willy-nilly.

Prof. Sagay is a "Private individual" who is entitled to his own opinion of the Senators (just like me and You) and the Senators cannot bully him to silence or summon him. That is what the constitution says!

This Legis-looters led by Saraki are trying to muzzle Nigerians, especially now that their criminality is being exposed left, right and centre.

If they have anything against what he said, if they think it is libellous or defamatory.... they should institute a joint suit against him and let the arm of Government empowered by the constitution to deal with interpretation of LAWS, deal with the matter.
To gang-up and think they can intimidate everyone and anyone in the country, to think they have become Tin-gods and above the law or a law unto themselves, shows the level of their idiocy!

All the above are not more than a Secondary school level Govt class, for students that attend class, which l am sure you dont.

Erudite my as.s.Professor Sagay is a very big disgrace to the legal profession. Since his appointment into the buhari's government, he seemed to have lost it.His end is near.It is either he and magu goes or the Senate will completely cripple buhari's regime.The choice is his

spartan117:
U just wasted ur time typing bcuz no one read it

cktheluckyman:
Buhari should arrest just one senator now and see how easy it is to get 2/3 of the Senate. The Senate right now are very pissed with him

Armstrong34:

emeijeh:
My fellow nairalanders, have you read the book: Our senators have gone mad again by Prof Sagay?

Yusman316:
Cripple Buhari's regime? Or suffer unsuspecting Nigerians. If not in Nigeria, where on earth do u hear of senators summoning anyone that criticizes them?

castrokins:
Meaning He's Above The Law?


Why Is This Administration Like This?? The Precedent You Guys Are Setting And Celebrating Is Very Dangerous.

That An Individual Of Sagay Repute Can Profile The Senate Of The FRN And Feel It's Okay Because He's A Professor Is Very Dangerous.

Senate on a long thing!

Leiman100:
olodo do you think the senate alone can impeach a president? not even both houses of the national assembly has that power. they need 2 3rd of all the states houses of asembly to carry out impeachment. that simply makes it IMPOSSIBLE!

jusRadical:
Many people were convicted on the pages if news paper like dasuki, metu and many judges and no court has pronounced any of them guilty. pmd does not obey court orders. A man namef his dog Buhari, he wad arrested and id still in court.

Sfg cut grass with N250m and still im govt. Brutai I heard has a house in dubai.

spartan117:
Why are all of Buhari’s appointees displaying unnecessary ego it must be flowing 4rm d top.
See as he face worwor

pauljumbo:
insubordination will crush this government

imagine ordinary office clerk saying board of directors can not summon him

let's attack the individual and respect the institution

janefarms2015:
Who is ordinary office clerk? Do you know the position he occupies? Do you know this erudite professor's records and antecedents? No lawyer or any honest Nigerian who is matured enough in age and intellect will not respect this man's view on issues of national development

pauljumbo:
that does not mean he will insults an arm of government

PublicAssurance:
Itse Sagay has no atom of credibility.

Montaque:
Its unfortunate that you didn't comprehend what you quoted.
