The CJN should have resigned to save whatever honour is left in him.

Buhari also has refused to resign

RealityShot:
CITIZENS OF NIGERIA!


you have been saying Buhari is NOT fighting corruption.


now he actually punished ONE corrupt person (CJN);
WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?


PERSECUTING HIM, REALLY?


VOTE BUHARI for continuity

Story -all that one you wrote is propaganda.

The real reason is to install corrupted election tribunal judges.

By the way he has no power to suspend CJN-so that is an illegality on its own

Babiboy:
Buhari suspend CJN but did not remove him
But pigs can't understand this

Olof he doesn't have right to suspend CJN in a democracy .

This is fake news

its has been widely said that the CJN can only be removed by 2/3rds of the senate. Therefore Buhari has committed a crime and is impeachable under the law.

The real story will be when senate seat.


“The suspension of the CJN by the president under whatever guise constitutes a constitutional infringement of the principle of separation of powers and a usurpation of the disciplinary powers of the NJC enshrined in the Constitution. The power of removal granted under the constitution not being an absolute power but one predicated on specified conditions and requiring the participation of other actors alongside the President, does not include the power to unilaterally suspend which is under of the disciplinary powers of the NJC.

Below is an article written by Audu Bulama Bukarti on the recent suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, made available to PoliticsNGR. Read Below;

"Given the supersonic speed at which the CCB & CCT are moving and the uncharacteristic enthusiasm of the FG to comply with judicial orders, I am suspicious of the motive behind the prosecution of the CJN.

I am also concerned with the time of the whole thing. But this is just a marginal note; a statement by the way side. I will keep it for another day.

Now, turning to the topic at hand, I do not see anything wrong or illegal with the suspension of the CJN and swearing-in yesterday of Hon. Justice Ibrahim Tanko. The action of PMB is constitutional. Nay, he had a duty to act in the way he did. Here are my seven reasons:

1. PMB did not act on his own motion. He acted on an Order of the CCT.

2. The CCT has an inherent power under Section 6 of the Constitution to issue any order that will promote the Rule of Law and ensure the smooth conduct of its proceedings. I believe this order does both. See point 7 below.

3. Some lawyers have argued that CCT’s Order is illegal or even unconstitutional. But this is not PMB’s business. He can’t question the legality of a judicial decision as doing so will tantamount to the president sitting on appeal on the Judgement of a Court.

4. Under our constitutional system, PMB has no option than to obey the said Order. That is why we have been urging him to obey the Orders on Dasuki and Zakzaky. I repeat the same call here toady;

5. The provisions of Section 292 cited by the NBA and others do not apply to this matter as the CJN was not “removed”. He was “suspended” pursuant to a valid and subsisting Order. The removal envisaged by and under Section 292 of the Constitution means “the dismissal of someone from a job” while suspension as in the present case means “[to] temporarily prevent from continuing or being in force or effect.”

6. The CJN is the head of the all Nigerian courts and Judiciary as well as the Chairman of the National Judicial Council which, under his Chairmanship, exercises supervisory and disciplinary role on all judges and judicial officer in Nigeria. This means any decision reached by CCT may likely go on appeal up to the Supreme Court where the CJN is at the helm of affairs.

7. It is against the rule of Natural Justice for Justice Onneghen to remain the CJN and Chairman NJC while facing trial under the same judges whose promotions, disciplinary and other related matters are under him;

8. I believe this action will facilitate quick dispensation of justice in this matter. Before the Order, the “generous SANs” representing the “poor” CJN had started taking steps that are clearly intended to frustrate his trial. They had started raising frivolous issues and making empty applications because they knew that their client had an upper hand. Now that he has been suspended, the defense counsel will be serious to prosecute the matter to its conclusion so that their client might be reinstated as quickly as possible if he is not found guilty.

9. Assuming, without conceding, that there are any anomalies in the procedure adopted. I would rather forgo any such anomalies for the crushingly disappointing alleged acts of the person who is suppose to hold those who violate our laws to account. I feel we must get the bottom of the allegations against the CJN whatever and punish him if he is guilty."

Only 2/3rds of Senate can remove the CJN.

you are talking rubbish

buhari has committed an impeachable offence

The UK issued the following statement:

The British High Commission expresses serious concern over the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. We have heard a wide range of credible and independent voices, including in the Nigerian legal profession and civil society, who have expressed concern over the constitutionality of the executive branch’s suspension of the chief officer of the judiciary.

We respect Nigeria’s sovereign authority and its right to adjudicate on constitutional provisions but as friends of the Nigerian people, we are compelled to observe that the timing of this action, so close to national elections, gives cause for concern. It risks affecting both domestic and international perceptions on the credibility of the forthcoming elections. We, along with other members of the international community, are following developments closely.

We encourage all actors to maintain calm and address the concerns raised by this development through due process, demonstrating their commitment to respecting the constitution and the impartial administration of the rule of law. We further urge them to take steps to ensure that elections take place in an environment conducive to a free, fair and peaceful process.

All it show is Atiku and Buhari are after power alone.

They are so desperate to lead but are not confident enough to defend their ideas.

SURElee:
This is supposed to be a debate to tell Nigerians what you stand to do for them if voted as President not to tackle Buhari. This atikulated man just vex me sef. So the other presidential candidates who carried on without them are fools abi? Nonsense!

The two most corrupt people are the front drummers in the election.

If Nigerians has a high iq they will vote for someone other than Buhari or Atiku.

But trust naija - they will vote for the most useless person and continue to lament

In all countries election candidates show up for debate regardless of the position.

For Buhari not to show up- is he saying he is better than the voters.

China's African debt-trap: Beijing prepares to seize Kenya's port of Mombasa
Nairobi fails to repay massive debts on shady loan for underperforming railway, Kenyan infrastructure ripe for the taking: reports

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – China may be preparing to seize some major assets in the African nation of Kenya, as a result of debt-trap diplomacy.

African media reports that Kenya may soon be forced to relinquish control of its largest and most lucrative port in Mombasa to Chinese control.

Other assets related to the inland shipment of goods from the port, including the Inland Container Depot in Nairobi, and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), may also be compromised in the event of a Chinese port takeover.

Kenya has reportedly taken extremely large loans from the Communist government for the development of some major highways, and especially for the SGR, which forms a crucial transport link to and from Nairobi for the import and export of goods through Mombasa.

In November, Moody’s noted that Kenya is at high risk of losing strategic assets because of debts owed to Beijing.

Local media began to express concern that Chinese lenders may be angling to seize assets, since it does not appear the Kenyan government will be capable to repaying the loans.

Now, one month later, ahead of the New Year, it’s been reported that the Chinese may be preparing to take over the Mombasa Port infrastructure soon.

The African Stand also seems to suggest that the SGR, which is operated by the Chinese, may have been designed to be a “loss-making venture.”

With a reported loss of KES 10 billion (US$98 million) in its first year of operation, it would be nearly impossible to repay the loans taken for its construction in the time requested. Kenya reportedly accepted loans of KES 500 billion (US$4.9 billion) for the SGR’s construction.

Kenya’s Auditor General reportedly stated that deal has always favored the China Exim Bank, which advanced the loan for the project. Further, Kenya signed on to a deal that requires any arbitration of disputes related to the debt must take place in China.

From the African Stand.

An audit completed last month indicates that Kenya Ports Authority’s (KPA) assets, which include the Mombasa port, could be taken over if the SGR does not generate enough cash to pay off the debts.

“The China Exim Bank would become a principle in (over) KPA if Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) defaults in its obligations and China Exim Bank exercise power over the escrow account security.”

When the Chinese lender granted the loan to the Kenyan government, somehow the KPA signed on as a borrower. Somehow Kenya's government agreed that the port “would not be protected by sovereign immunity since the Government waived the immunity on the Kenya Ports Assets" by virtue of KPA signing on as a borrower, according to the Auditor General.

It is becoming increasingly clear that China’s designs on the nations of Africa are anything but benevolent. Kenya appears to be lining up behind Zambia, which is slated to lose its international airport, as well as its national electricity grid because of defaults on Chinese loans.

African nations must wake up to China’s new form of colonialism that is chipping away at their critical infrastructure one major asset at a time

Awoo88:
This guy is an idiot. He has no intention of fighting Wilder. He knows there is an unfinished business between Tyson and Wilder. He is just name dropping to sell his next crap of a fight. When Wilder and Tyson were on his tail, he ducked. He chickened. He chooses the easy route. Fighting some one he was sure he could beat. He was told to stop calling himself African because African are warriors. AJ should shut up in shame and allow Wilder and Fury give us another trilling fight.

AJ has 4 of the 5 heavy weight belts he is not ducking.

Timing is important for a guy with 22 fights while the others have 40 each.

Regardless AJ beating wilder easily.

Tyson fury may be tougher to beat

legibow:
Why is he d one looking for fight and not people that want to collect his title.... You're sure your village people are after you

Olodo he wants to collect wilder belt and become undisputed heavyweight..

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said nutrition, rest and hardwork have been the secrets to his success.

The Portuguese hero who is widely recognized as one of the best players in the world, left Real Madrid in the summer for a new challenge.

MySportDab report Ronaldo scored a stunning 584 goals in 782 professional appearances for Los Blancos.

However, Ronaldo has said shunning treats, recuperation and grafting on the training ground are crucial.

“You want to know if I eat cakes,” he joked after children submitted questions to Italian daily TuttoSport.

“I always try to have healthy food, it’s very important for me.

“I try to avoid alcohol and sweets even if sometimes I eat them to relax.

“There are three important things to do.

“Sleep well, eat well and train hard.

“These are the three most important things for a footballer.

“If you don’t train consistently, if you don’t train your shooting skills, your pace, your dribbling, you’ll get worse”.

Somebody needs to tell Alex Iwobi this especially for Arsenal

lonelydora:
Even though i like Reekado Banks (the only person that knows what he's doing in MAVIN records) but he should ask D'Banj how he's faring after leaving Don Jazzy.

You obviously dont understand contract. either way its better to be a boss . Don Jazzy himself was under Solex at one point. if he had remained with Solex would he had started Mavin?

Its just like a footballer with Chelsea 3 seasons and contract is up.

Its either the club renew the players contract or ask the player to bounce ( for example Victor Moses)

or the

player agrees to renew his contract or he bounces on his own terms.


Also he can jump ship if he likes

Selection shoud be merit based, if one family has the best 11 so be it talkless of tribe or state.

IF all the best female footballers are from delta state, as long as they are nigerian or hold nigerian passport it doesnt matter

The biggest theives on naija are politicians
