How is he dumb?

Every human being is a hypocrite one way or the other. It doesn't mean dumbness.

Perhaps, if Jonathan had obeyed the court ruling, and if the police was not so useless, Buhari would not need to deploy soldiers.
I do not know about the above suggestion. Anybody who tend to protest against his beliefs is dumb. APC and Buhari acted out their beliefs that military should not be deployed during election day during the regime of Jonathan yet he and APC are talking about the army to shoot people on the election day. It is a dumb act not a hypocritical act.

For the fact that Jonathan thought about deploying the military for election is a dent on his image.
What's then the duty of police...... even the Civil Defense.
I also heard that he flouted the court order.
PMB is now taking it to a higher dimension by ordering the military to shoot those that will come to snatch INEC Voting box.
Maybe by 2023 they will include the Navy and Air Force.

most buharideens do not care about right or wrong.

as long as they get their crumbs from the table of the tyrant, they are good.


same buhari admitted he used remote control for osun elections, the buharideens hailed him.

they seem to forget that it was this same buhari's insensitivity that led to the death of corp members in the aftermath of the 2011 general elections...

some policemen & soldiers have been giving the evil 4,4 sign, such security forces would not hesitate to shoot the opposition's supporters & label them ballot box snatchers.
Exactly my point sir....but God is watching them just like Abacha he may not even live to see d seat of power again....besides man purposes but God disposes whatever is tinubu n his cronies plan for innocent Nigerian citizens will surely crumble n their shame will be so much that it can even wash his brown teeth away....they have done sacrifices with blood of their son's n daughters they will never succeed this time God will tell them He is d defender of d defenseless n d father of d fatherless....it's almost here Saturday is just hours close.

Bro, it appears like you attended the backyard of a school.

How is that dumb?

Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, don't try to play any dumb card here.

And everyone is a hypocrite one way or the other.

You touch other people's sisters but you are constantly advising your sister against guys (hypocrisy).

You want someone's daughter to date an unemployed you but you cannot imagine your sister dating an unemployed man (hypocrisy).

You advise your friend to allow his daughter marry her choice even when he is a tailor but when your daughter brings home a tailor, you disown her (hypocrisy)

Your expect your father to put you straight in charge of his company but you scream nepotism when Buhari gives appointment to his kinsman (hypocrisy).

You are rude to your elder brother but can't take the shit from your younger brother (hypocrisy).

You wanted unconstitutional three terms (Obasanjo) but kick viciously at Buhari for seeking a constitutional second term (hypocrisy).

You call Buhari names but no one dares insult you in your compound without you throwing tantrums (hypocrisy).

You chose whom you greet and not greet, but when someone does not respond to your greeting, you feel disrespected (hypocrisy).

You keep on telling your boss to give you a second chance when all odds are against you but despise the mere thought of Buhari seeking a second term (hypocrisy).

You lord it over your wife and kids but expect your boss to be more diplomatic (hypocrisy).

You could not manage a tiny shop for years but expect Buhari to turn Nigeria around in 4 years (hypocrisy).

So, in 2015 APC through Hon. Gbajabiamila took Jonathan to Court...


March 23, 2015 Ben Ezeamalu

President Goodluck Jonathan lacks the power to deploy soldiers for the conduct of election without the approval of the National Assembly, a federal court ruled Monday.

Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court in Lagos held that the practice of deploying troops of the Nigerian Armed Forces in the conduct of elections when there is no uprising is “anti-democratic” and not in tandem with civil rule and constitutional democracy.

“The armed forces have no role in elections,” the judge said.

“The time has come for us to establish the culture of democratic rule in the country and to start to do the right thing particularly when it has to do with dealing with the electoral process which is one of the pillars of democracy.

“In spite of the behaviour of the political class, we should by all means try to keep armed personnel and military from being a part and parcel of the electoral process.

“The state is obligated to confine the military to their very demanding assignment, especially in this time of insurgencies by keeping them out of elections. The state is also obligated to ensure that citizens exercise their franchise freely and unmolested.”

Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos), a member of the House of Representatives, had filed the suit before the court seeking a declaration that deployment of soldiers during elections in illegal and unconstitutional.

Joined as respondents in the suit were Mr. Jonathan; the Chief of Defence Staff; the Chief of Army Staff; the Chief of Air Staff; the Chief of Naval Staff; and the Attorney-General of the Federation.

The deployment of soldiers during previous elections held in Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun were contrary to the Nigerian Constitution, Mr. Gbajabiamila’s lawyer, Seni Adio, told the court.

The judge backed the lawyer’s arguments, noting that the president lacks the powers to deploy soldiers any time he wants.

Mr. Buba dismissed the respondents’ arguments that Mr. Gbajabiamila did not have the legal right to institute the suit and that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit.

He also dismissed their arguments that the soldiers are needed to ensure peaceful polls, noting that the military was not needed for such civil duties.

Recently, a Court of Appeal in Abuja barred the use of soldiers in the conduct of elections, stating that it was a violation of Section 217(2)(c) of the Constitution and Section 1 of the Armed Forces Act.

The appellate court had relied on a judgment by a Federal High Court in Sokoto last January also barring the use of armed forces in the conduct of elections.

Mr. Buba said that he was bound by the appellate court’s decision and quoted copiously from its ruling.

The judge said that the law does not make provision for the military to be involved in civil activities, and if soldiers must vote, it must be in their barracks.

He also said the appellate court directly interpreted the Constitution when it held that Sections 215 and 217 jointly limit the president’s power to deploy soldiers to the suppression of insurrection and to aid the police to restore order when it has broken down.

“I am bound by the decision of the Court of Appeal and equally persuaded by the decision of Federal High Court, Sokoto, which also persuaded the Court of Appeal.

“It is in this regard that the court will say that its duty in interpreting the constitution has been simplified and made easy by the decisions I have referred to extensively.”

That is why we must ALL support, and establish strong institutions, institutions that are independent and respected and operate far above the whims of those they are meant to supervise. It is a very hard task involving tremendous sacrifice. To build institutions is as daunting as public ridicule, as unforgiving as suicide.

If not for institutions there will be no muslims in America today and a good number of minorities will have emigrated. Without institutions the UK will be leaving the EU in a few weeks with no deal, bad deal... Theresa May's deal. If Venezuela had strong institutions its people will not be eating from the garbage bins today though in the top ten league of oil producers.

Folks, choose how you wish to live. Your country, your choice. Strong men since independence have made Nigerians sit in the dirt at the feet of Ghanian immigration officers today. Why haven't they risen from their graves and retirement homes and lofty thrones to end this shame and reproach. No, they are gone, with their wealth and sordid legacies and left you with the mess.

And here you are.... still supporting them.
