Pita99:
But is it only the Senate that's causing the bad relationship? When the Exucutive wants to dictate everything like it's not democracy then there are bound to be problems. The Writer is just one sided , you expect the legislature to be licking their as*? This the beauty of democracy, there is no room for dictators sorry.

SnowJay92:
Really?

dre11:
Why don't you take your time to read up the article and see the message the writer is passing across than just shutting it down because your "oga" was mentioned

So, Saraki and his gang of forty thieves are gradually leading us to an avoidable second war... with our eyes open.

For those who support Saraki's actions because of pecuniary gain or those who support it out of ignorance and idiocy or those who support him out of hatred for "anything Buhari"...l want you to know that when/if the heavens will fall, it wil fal on everyone, including them and their loved ones.

We Nigerians MUST march on this Senate. We must force them to do their job.
We all need to come together to condemn what is EVIL first... then we can return later to play the 'game' of insults.

persius555:
Saraki is the worst thing to have happened to APC.

Dominiquez:
I am so sure that the writer is a staff of Buhari Media Center BMC.

SalamRushdie:
Another paid up writer ..nonsense

signz:
The media war is on.

Its better that ordinary Nigerians don't take sides.

Its in our best interest that the elites fight each other.


Let's all observe.

Just wait for a week or two and l bet you that you will hear of the marriage of the children of one Elite to another ... while you are all kiling yourself and defending one against another.

WAKE UP, FOOLISH CITIZENS!
Stop dying of hunger, wasting away, spilling your blood, wasting your time and resources, thinking you are defending "your side" of the Elite, against another side of the Elite!

It is your own life they are toying with.

Rich people (Elites) dont fight each other, they just argue on how to divide the SLAVES (masses) amongst themselves and which one to bury next!

SalamRushdie:
I already know where the baseless write up is headed ..Only one person has been able to put Nigeria in a recession Twice, his name is Buhari and the reasons are not hard to see

Daboomb:
People like you are known for just "one-liners" that appeal to the foolishness of the masses on Nairaland.

Put your own thoughts (if you have any) into writing and let us read them here.

Its unfortunate that the brainless and unintelligent are so much in this space that they applaud no-brainers like you!

I challenge you to do a 500 words write up on how Buhari has plunged this country into recession twice.

Bunch of certificate forgers who come to Nairaland to spew thrash.

Jacobx007:
I guess they are right, d head of customs in mufty? does that make sense? Gross indiscipline, wat if other military outfits decides to do same? APC Govt is full of confusion

Daboomb:
First, l must commend the @Op for taking time to write this good piece!
It is a breath of fresh air to see such articulate writings on Naiiraland, a place notorious for being populated by unintelligent riff-raffs who dont read anything before hitting the reply button!
A place populated by under-age Jamb failure who cannot read a paragraph of any write-up successfully, not to talk or articulating one!
So, its shocking that he brought this sort of article that requires "cranial exercise", to a place like this.

But let me 'go along' for now.

That as it may, the author identified THREE things that have periodically plunged the country into recessio[/b]n -
1.) War
2.) Political Instability
3.) Unstable/falling Oil Prices.

[b]He has shown us how Saraki and his gang of Forty thieves and Certificate Forgers can/will lead us, "eyes-opened", into another recession..... by tampering with the budget benchmark price of crude oil while not doing anything about investing in the future and planning for the rainy day!
In other words, the 3rd point on that list is what is playing out now, with "Saraki and Brothers" in the NASS

But l tell you, it is more than that!

Saraki's action is a combination of all the three factors, of which only one has been identified by the author.
Let me explain (in reverse order):

2.) Political Instability: Every war in Nigeria, is always preceded by Political Instability. It is what caused the Civil war of 1967 when the tit-for-tat killings of the "Political Leaders" of the North and East blew into full scale war.

Now, recall that INEC, which is responsible for conducting elections, have identified a number of reasons why Election fraud, which leads to political unrest (and then recession!), is a recurrent decimal in our polity. The agency has therefore decided that henceforth, it will START EARLY and PREPARE for elections, so that there wont be any "fire-brigade" approach that encourages rigging.

That is very commendable and l am beginning to feel that "we are entering an era where the vote of the masses will start to really count".
if our vote really begins to count, we will then realise that we have the power to discipline crooks, if per chance they find a way to deceive us into electing them into Political office.
Thus, the Presidency, heeding INEC's call for early preparation, sent a list of 36 Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC's) to the Senate for deliberation and confirmation. (Mind you, by law in the 1999 constitution, no election is valid unless confirmed by the REC of that state. it is as simple as that!)

What did Saraki and his gang of thieves do? They brushed it aside and started using blackmailing tactics (like Kidnappers!) saying: We would not even attend to the REC's list, not to talk of confirming them or otherwise) UNLESS BUHARI SACKS EFFCC's Magu!

What has Magu `(Efcc) got to do with INEC's REC?

If Saraki and his Sin-nators are paid with our tax money to live these extravagant life of theirs (I hope you have seen their total emoluments of about #40Million each, every month?) and in-turn to make laws and confirm appointees, do they have the right to refuse doing their job while still being paid?
By refusing to attend to the REC's confirmation issue, the NAAS and Saraki has shirked its responsibility to the nation with the far-reaching implication that if these RECs are not appointed on time, preparation for elections will be in shambles, leading to Rigging and by implication, INJUSTICE and then POLITICAL INSTABILITY!

Let us recall that Saraki is from a lineage of Serial Criminals!
Anyone old enough knows how him and his father, Olushola Saraki, looted the vaults of Societe General bank till the bank became bankrupt. Our dear, mercurial Jay Jay Okocha is still suffering the effect till today, as his life savings got stolen by the Sarakis, as a depositor in that bank.

We are also aware of how the Sarakis looted the state of Kwara to its knees, in the days of "Up-Oloye" when Governorship of the state passed from Shola Saraki (father), to Bukola Saraki (son)!

What about the looted #3.5 Billion Paris Debt Refund of kwara State that the President made available to States to pay their owed, staff salaries...which Bulola Saraki stole?
Should we also mention how Saraki himself looted the vault of Heritage Bank till it became bankrupt!

Thus, by refusing to do their job, by trying to use their own "responsibility" as a "Third Arm of Govt" in a democracy, to BLACKMAIL the Executive Arm, this notorious criminal called Saraki, is already plunging the future of Nigeria into Political stability!


So, when l say Saraki has Stealing, looting of public funds and Corruption in his DNA, l am not exaggerating.... it is in their lineage and blood!
I bet his sons would also be thieves like him and his father.

1.) War: well, this one is a no-brainer!
Once we allow Saraki and his gang of thieves and Certificate forgers to plunge us into Political instability (as enumerated above), we are just a step away from imminent war
Political instability sows the seed of war.
Between 1965 and 1967, `there were series of killings and counter-killings due to Political instability...that finally led to the Igbos saying "we've had enough, we want out"...and then the real war began.

So, Saraki and his gang of forty thieves are gradually leading us to an avoidable second war... with our eyes open.

For those who support Saraki's actions because of pecuniary gain or those who support it out of ignorance and idiocy or those who support him out of hatred for "anything Buhari"...l want you to know that when/if the heavens will fall, it wil fal on everyone, including them and their loved ones.

We Nigerians MUST march on this Senate. We must force them to do their job.
We all need to come together to condemn what is EVIL first... then we can return later to play the 'game' of insults.

Daboomb:
Ignorance is the WORST DISEASE!

1.) Customs is NOT a military outfit ............. it is called a [b]"Para-Military" Outfit.

Go and find out the difference!
You kids of nowadays dont ever use your dictionary or Google, even when you dont pay for either![/b]

2.) Current Head of Customs did not rise through the ranks of Customs (He was just a political appointee) and therefore cannot wear the Customs Uniform like an officer who rose through the ranks

3.) Head of Customs was a retired Nig Army Colonel.
In military hierarchy, his "pure military" Pips are higher than that of anyone in Customs (para-military!).
He wont demote himself in Uniform by removing a pure military Uniform and wearing a lower-ranked para-military uniform.
That ofcourse, is a matter of choice.

4.) It is not the "Uniform" that makes the law or does the job..... it is the man in the Uniform.
Once you have "the Man", you can go ahead with whatever question you need to ask.

**maybe he should just put the Uniform on a Hanger and place it at a corner in the Senate, sicne they are so obsessed with Uniform, instead of getting on with the job they are paid for.


As for you, do more of 'reading' than wasting time on Nairaland or fighting APC Vs. PDP e-wars.
You cant even spell mufti correctly! .
