Awol1:

or they will call him ipob.

.

In Yoruba parlance, when you crown unrightful king's these are the result you were going to be seen like unnecessarily killings,banditry, kidnapping, economy failure and so on.

IS IT NOW PEOPLE ARE SEEING THE INCOMPETENCE OF MR PRESIDENT? AT LEAST WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF NIGERIANS AND PEOPLE LIKE FALANA WAS TO SAY ALL THESE THINGS BEFORE THE 2019 GENERAL ELECTIONS. FOR ME, FROM DAY ONE I KNEW BUHARI HAS NOTHING TO OFFER THIS NATION, AT LEAST ITS GLARINGLY CLEAR NOW. THE TRUTH IS MR. PRESIDENT IS JUST THERE AND SOME FEW INDIVIDUALS WITH WICKED MISSIONS ARE BUSY EXECUTING THEIR EVIL AGENDAS. MY OWN PROBLEM IS THAT INNOCENT SOULS WILL BE WASTED BEFORE THIS MAN (BUBU) IS OUSTED OUT OF OFFICE.

So Falana has finally realized that Buhari is the worst thing that can happen to Nigeria. The thing many of us had seen a long time ago a SAN is just seeing it.

I will forgive him because atleast his eyes have opened. But Buhari has already gotten his 2nd term and all this talk is tantamount to wailing except the courts have the balls to do the needful which i doubt.

Next level.....

Talk talk General; the title is not to mock Chief Falana but to challenge him to do more beyond mere ranting.

Imoh555:
Painful truth....Nigeria has become a place of hunger, poverty, and ridicule under the buhari apc led administration.... I curse the day buhari became president.... I dedicate this ftc to all hard working Nigerian youths.... Excluding scammers and prostitutes

Cry cry baby. Did buhari stop your any legitimate business? Or did he reduce anybody's salary? Can you explain how he gave you hunger and poverty? Please if you or your uncle are among the thieves that has been denied access to our common treasury, you people had better go and report to a nearby prison around you before court caught up with you.

No lamentation from any of these zombified lots.Next level ye all demanded, next level ye must enjoy.We all die here.Next next level news abeg.

this man sef ,always speaking with both sides of his mouth.

clefstone:
I have always insisted that Buhari doesn't have the IQ to be president. The man is beclouded by primordial ethnoreligious sentiment and has a total lack of knowledge of leadership in this new age

Everybody knows that, even his myopic fanboys.

Nackzy:
Am happy you are saying this, all off you that fought Johnathan has seen that a bird at hand is worth 50 in the bush

Lol buhari now is a bird at hand

But the same Yorubas put them back. Banana republic is an understatement. Agbalomo republic

Stillthebest:
Lol buhari now is a bird at hand

our people say anybody who does not undetstand the proverb said to him，his mothers dowry is in vain.

A human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana at the weekend said President Muhammadu Buhari had turned Nigeria into a banana republic, citing prevailing cases of banditry, insurgency and violence that beclouded the country.

Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), added that Buhari’s civilian administration was apparently worse than the military rule he presided over between December 31, 1983 and August 27, 1985.
He expressed grave concern about the APC government in a paper he delivered at a roundtable discussion the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism and the British Council organised to the 2019 World Press Freedom Day in Abuja on Friday.

At the public forum attended by a wide range of political leaders, diplomats and professionals, Falana lamented that the country’s senior public officers had substituted the rule of law for “the rule of the rulers,” thereby asking the Nigerian masses “to take their destiny in their own hands.”

Specifically, the human rights lawyer cited Buhari’s records of respecting the rule of law, which according to him, had worsened since his heydays as a military dictator.

In a comprehensive analysis of the two administration, Falana said the irony of such official impunity “is that whereas the Buhari military junta released detainees from custody on the orders of the courts.”

He decried worsening cases of violence, banditry and insurgency, which he said, had become prevalent since the president returned to power in 2015.

He, therefore, concluded that under the the Buhari administration, Nigeria had become a banana republic, saying the president’s human rights record “is worse than when Buhari was a military dictator.”

He, equally, lamented Buhari’s poor record of obeying the rule of law, wondering that president claimed to be a converted democrat, though the claim had been disputed by the refusal of his administration to comply with the orders made by several courts for the release of a number of citizens from unlawful custody.

Apart from treating the orders of the courts with contempt, Falana said Buhari, currently the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), had ignored the orders of the Community Court of Justice with respect to the restoration of the civil liberties of Nigerian citizens.

He faulted Buhari and his Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami, saying the contemptuous act of the administration “has been defended by the president who has insisted that national security should take precedence over the rule of law.

As if that is not enough, the human rights lawyer faulted the decision of the justice minister “to publicly defended the contemptuous acts of the federal government.”

However, the senior advocate said the civilian regime headed by the converted democrat “has refused to release or grant bail to several detained persons in complete defiance of court orders.

“Since the federal government claims to operate under the rule of law, it should be compelled to comply with section 287 of the Constitution which has imposed a duty on all authorities and persons to enforce the decisions of all courts of competent jurisdiction in Nigeria.

“It is so worrisome that provisions of the 1999 Constitution are conveniently sacrificed for political expediency or self aggrandisement of highly placed public officers. In the process, Nigeria is reduced to a banana republic where the rule of law is substituted for the rule of the rulers.”

He equally lamented that those in charge of running the federation are working against the progress of the nation and Nigerians, noting that by deliberately ignoring the rule of law, the Buhari administration was promoting and perpetuating corruption.

According to him, this means that people in government, and particularly those in the executive arm, can abuse their powers and positions to promote their own interests or those of their friends and allies at the expense of public interest, through arbitrary acts and corruption, or through inconsistent application of laws.


Falana cited the case of Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign, which he argued, had beenn discredited through the selective prosecution of corrupt elements in the society.

Worse still, he explained that corrupt members of the Federal Executive Council “are currently using the police and anti-graft agencies to settle scores with corrupt opposition figures.

“It thus seems that politicians and associates of those close to the seat of power in Abuja are protected, despite strong evidence of corruption and money laundering against them. Such abuse of the rule of law is subversive of law and order in a democratic society.

“Given these types of examples on the part of the leadership and the poor working conditions of most government workers, it is not surprising that civil servants across the ranks have turned to petty corruption, often simply to survive.

“The net impact of this systemic corruption is a serious erosion of the rule of law, by a government that is supposedly committed to good governance, transparency, accountability and anti-corruption.”

Disturbed by these urgly trends, Falana urged all elected public officers “to proffer solutions to the crisis of underdevelopment. It is high time President Buhari and all state governors who are abroad returned to the country to attend to the urgent crisis of insecurity.

“With the virtual take-over of the country by armed bandits, terrorists and kidnappers the president and all top public officers should be barred by Nigerians from embarking on foreign private or official visits to other countries until further notice.”

Falana did not spare the media for often choosing to focus less on more important problems plaguing the country, urging the media “to stop the irrelevant debate on the educational qualification of any candidate.

“Because adult illiteracy rate in the country is 60 percent, section 318 of the Constitution has prescribed education up to junior secondary level or primary six and 10 years’ working experience as the minimum qualification for contesting elections in Nigeria.

“Therefore, the media should stop giving undue attention to the educational qualifications of a former military president and a former civilian vice president to contest a presidential election in the country.

“More so, that both politicians had risen to the apogee of their professional carriers in the public service before contesting the last presidential election,” the human rights lawyer said.

He also lamented that the media had left the serious crisis of insecurity in all parts of the country to join the APC in questioning the citizenship of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

During the presidential election, Falana said the APC celebrated the fact that Buhari defeated Atiku Abubakar in his own ward in Adamawa State.

He argued, “If Atiku is a now Cameroonian doesn’t that suggest that those who voted for President Buhari in his ward for the candidate are Cameroonian citizens too?

“Just a couple of weeks ago, the federal high court declared illegal and unconstitutional the deportation of 56 Cameroonian refugees and asylum seekers from Nigeria. All persons living in Nigeria including citizens by birth or naturalisation, dual citizens, foreigners, refugees and asylum seekers are entitled to adequate security and protection.”

“What the country is currently witnessing in terms of increasing violence, banditry and insurgency is a sign of anarchy. Since the 2019 elections have been concluded the duty imposed on the media is to ensure that political parties and elected officials are held accountable.”

Thank 'God' For The Alarm Bell That Helped Mr.Falana After A Pretty Long Slumbering. But Is This Your Morning Called Not Too Late In A Day? The SAN Title Was Long Lost & Gone, The Day Chief Gani Died. May His Good Soul Continue To Rest In Peace.

You reek of dumbness and stupidity... Everyone is not struggling like you are... I can swear you don't have food for breakfast where you are typing this nonsense from

Cryomancer:
Calling Nigerian a banana republic is an insult to banana republic itself. Watch how come zombies will call Falana IPOB

A country that choose to let its masses remain poor just to use them as tools for vote buying,

A country that its VP is restricted from crucial meetings and left to the job of visiting markets,

A country where the children of those who stole our collective wealth school abroad and are being given slots to work in government ministries, while the poor unemployed and uneducated masses keep making excuses for them,

A country where lies and deceit are being used by the government to deceive the masses.

I could go on and on... but it doesn't change anything...



Nigeria is a mistake that shouldn't have happened on earth..

1billion likes for your last sentence, truer words have never been spoken like this, l quote your last sentence again for emphasis sake in capital letters for mugus and dead zombies to read..... NIGERIA IS A MISTAKE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED ON EARTH........ End of quote, when you say things like this to people, they get offended and start blabbing bla bla bla, you will hear statement like this, it is well with Nigeria, God will help Nigeria, no place like home, it took some countries 500 years to develop and lots of bulshit, Nigeria is beyond redemption and should be auctioned off on eBay or Alibaba to richer western nations, as long as people keep clapping hands for the useless criminal politicians currently in power wether PDP, CCC, DDD, AOC, APC etc, the country is doomed forever

Is he just waking up

Why did he increase fuel pump to 145, diesel to 245.
Why did he devalue the Naira.
Why did he increase taxes for companies.
Why did he increase tuition fees on fed govt secondary and tertiary institutions.

Do you know the negative impact of all these on the economy?

High overhead costs for companies leading to
High costs of commodities.
Job losses.
Very low disposable income.
Elimination of middlemen within the trade chain.
e.t.c

Bottom line is this regime needs to do better as a matter of urgency on its economic policies.

Is quite unfortunate we have enter one chance or one corner will i call it. One thing i know everything that have begining, surely will come to ane end.

What can we do nothing because all Nigerians don't hate corruption but hate it when it doesn't favour themselves and then the twitter and facebook warriors

Falana is correct in his submission except for the part about educational qualification. Our lowering of standards is at the root of our underdevelopment. Many Nigerian politicians are not competent enough to be appointed bank managers but we promote them to the level of reps and senators. All highly developed nations have been led by people of outstanding intellect and extraordinary knowledge and accomplishment - this is the iron rule. Nigeria cannot achieve those heights while it is led by a semi illiterate quota general unable to produce a waec certificate.

Make No body run oh the dullard must rule he 4 years complete.

All the entire insurgencies , killings, kidnappings going on in the entire North, name it North East, North West, North Central is a reaction to the extreme poverty the super rich leaders of the entire North has been placing their people from the time immemorial. It will be recalled that the entire leaders of the North are in control of the major percentage the oil rich country call Nigeria yet their people up North are kept in extreme poverty with only their immediate families enjoying the stolen wealth of the Nation. We have heard a super oil rich Northern leader who claimed in a T V interview to have made $1billion dollar in the sale of one his oil blocks and having spent $ 500 million dollars could not know what to do with the remaining $500 million dollars. We have heard also in a newspaper report of a Northern leader who was said to have donated $45million dollars to an American University where his son made 2nd class upper division at the son's graduation ceremony. All these at the expense of the extreme poor people of the North.
Ask any rich Northern leader where their children are schooling , their answer is US, Canada or any where in Europe, while the generality of the children of their people has no access to common primary school education. The result is what we are now witnessing.

This Baba self dey confuse Thunder....

falana your mumu be number one. we still remember your assholelism during Goodluck tenure !.na the same mouth you use talk say buhari be messaih na same mouth you use talk the truth today.

fixedhollies:
We go dey here together...no one is running away! It use to pain my heart when a person that has basic education defends Buhari govt.... As far as i can see, it is the worst we ever had in the history of Nigeria....

Even Abacha self reduce prices of some basic commodity.

Which education. Hunger respects nothing. They are foolishly hustling & defending Npower 30k & tradermoni 5k. "When a man stays too long in the dark to the point that he is partially able to navigate within the room. Then conclude he doesn't need light anymore".
