It will amaze you that buhari is being cautioned by his contemporaries while people of younger age bracket for sake of BMC stipends here present on NL keep fooling themselves in support of this usurper!

Nigeria will be great again. That's all I HV to say..

Have it been great before?

Let's stop slamming rather start thinking and taking actions just like the 5% that didn't wait for Ohaneze or any yeye group to come n tell them whom to vote because they knew a leopard cannot change.

Reading this piece tells me why some African leaders stayed in power for decades and still being voted or in short selected to continue . Do l need to say more. More of this type of reasoning will gradually take us to that height.

National interest and national security are two different things. while a nation can suspend human right and the rule of law for national security especially invasion from external forces, international rule of engagement must be followed to avoid sanctions. However National Interest doesn't give right to violate human right and rule of law

If a tyrant is in govt, the people will not support is definition of may National Interest but when someone that the people elected and loved is in govt his definition of National Interest will be at per with the people's.

That was why most Americans agreed with the killing if Osama

Under which rule of law did Western nations use in causing unrest and usurping powers in other nations?

I know it'll be very hard to draw the middle line between supremacy of the national interest and dictatorship, that's the reason why we need to elect a president with good antecedents that we can trust with several clandestine decision.

But their was never a case where innocent journalists where incaserated without access to their family and lawyers as it's in the case of the bayelsa journalist and others still in different detention centres across the nation.

dnt mind these clueless people.if dey know what US n Russia deos to maintain their tight securities dey will shiver

Just2endowed2:


oga have we gotten to this level that buhari will now be claiming dictatorship n highest tyranny in the country?

Have any ameriacn citizen in american soil be subject to osama bin laden treatment?

we are talking about individual right as a citizen which the court have to judge and decide

Oga Osama Bin Laden was an American citizen. There are lot of American citizens (not necessarily indegenes) in Guantanamo and several other high security risk prisons and dungeons without any court sentencing them.
And mind you, fundamental human right is universal and exclusive of Americans alone. All men are created equal and their is equality before the law.

well I agree to some extent, but the bin laden case is strictly national security, and it is on foreign soil which means US rule of law was technically not violated, Pakistan where bin laden was killed never filled a violation to any international court for its illegal invassion, Pakistan and US has a treaty on secuirity

This is lifeless talk. Who then determines what goes as national interests? Buhari? National interests is not a one man show.

SalamRushdie:


Are you for real?

Obviously. These guys are getting more demented daily.

phase1:
Politicians are usually very ruthless during their second tenure because they have nothing to lose and no longer need your vote. Buhari takes that ruthlessness to another level as a tyranmic dictator. If buhari gets a second tenure. He will...

- Be very ruthless with the media, many journalists will be either jailed or killed.

- He will clamp down on social media, and take away the only voice the people have to say the truth to power.

- Bye Bye to your freedom of Information and expression.

- State sponsored gestapo-styled assasinations will be the other of day. Buhari hates the judiciary and thinks the courts are useless. He believes in arbitrary arrest, detention and extrajudicial killing by the executioners in the executive.

- Nigerians will gnash their teeth in 2019 if buhari wins again.

That's my fear. The second term will be very ruthless-no mercy even to the people supporting and massaging his ego now I'm afraid.

Thank you for this apt explanation. Nigerian elder statesmen or Nigerian looters hating the anti looting regime in government. If America should follow the Rule of Law, Donald Trump would have impeached long before now. Nigerian elder hypocrites trying to quote laws that they too are breaking on a daily basis.

Ask the Wiki leaks guy why he has refuse to enter America and why US allies have refuse to grant him assylum.
The problem with Nigeria is our DSS is archaic and obsolete unlike this western nations that carries out their operations without leaving a trace.

Does human right give you the right to threaten the national security of your country? Threatening to seize state power, burn the country to ashes, cut off the head of your president, or deliberately siphoning money meant to procure arms and ammunition to fight insurgency, hoisting the flag of a virtual state within a sovereign state . The truth is, there must be exceptions to every law. People should not commit crimes then hide under the rule of law (human rights) after all, Osama had human rights too and we could say he was unlawfully killed. No sane country would sit while it's national security is threatened..

You are being judgmental of a situation you know nothing about, US will not violate those countries if the UN Security Council does not give them the go ahead, and there was a limit to their actions, all Nigerians want is to allow same, but the Nigerian Government has decided to do the jobs of NGO’s, the court and the International community. So please educate yourself about international politics before you display your lack of what due process entails.

A certified Islamic Extremist and dictator President Buhari signaling his intentions to set off rule of law for national interest, is a most dangerous step.


Islamist Buhari told a large crowd of Islamic faithfuls in Kaduna 2001, that he wouldn't stop until Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are used all over Nigeria.

All this old elites doesn't know there time and relevance has expired.

a sane country would rather enact a more serious law. take its affairs before a competent judge within its jurisdiction rather than unlawful detention. as for bin laden a competent court already pronounced him a wanted Terrorists, and he was killed outside US law Jurisdictions, its left to the Pakistani government to press charges on US government if it feels the invasion was out of the initial security treaty and bilateral agreements

Can you point to any of such operations as you mentioned above on American soil? You need a FISA court approval/warrant to even spy on an American. Kindly research on the controversy surrounding the four applications to secure a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page as clear evidence that individuals rights under the law is something America never takes lightly. Follow muller Probe and you will see how America respects the rights of its citizens. This issue should be non-partisan. Irrespective of who is president; we should make sure the rule of law is sacrosanct!!!
