There is nothing shameful about his fall, its just life. We rise & fall. He had his reign and it fetched him wealth, now its over no big deal. wizkid, davido olamide phyno and the rest will face the same 5yrs from now or lesser maybe even more. my point is a fall as you tag it is unavoidable one will always have to give way for younger generations who later give way for much younger generation. No be one person get limelight

Feel free to add yours

Good evening People,
Before now I was a bit confused as to understanding the various arms of the government and how they function, also I honestly wasnt sure what arm the senate and house of reps belonged to between the executive and legislation because I never really loved politics until recently. oh! well this was quite educating so I thought it wise to share. I mean who know I might not be the only one who didnt pay attention in class but later saw the light
okay, I should go now.
Bye bye.

Nigeria is a federal republic modeled after
the United States, with executive power
exercised by the president . The government of
Nigeria is also influenced by the Westminster
System model in the composition and
management of the upper and lower houses
of a bicameral legislature. The president,
however, is the head of state , the head of
government , and the head of a multi-party
system . Nigerian politics takes place within a
framework of a federal , presidential ,
representative democratic republic, in which
executive power is exercised by the
government. Legislative power is held by the
government and the two chambers of the
legislature: the House of Representatives and
the Senate . Together, the two chambers make
up the law-making body in Nigeria, called the
National Assembly, which serves as a check on
the executive arm of government. The highest
judiciary arm of government in Nigeria is the
Supreme Court of Nigeria. Nigeria also
practices Baron de Montesquieu 's theory of
the separation of powers based on the United
States system.


Legal system
The law of Nigeria is based on the rule of law,
the independence of the judiciary , and
British common law (due to the long history
of British colonial influence). The common
law in the legal system is similar to common-
law systems used in England and Wales and
other Commonwealth countries. The
constitutional framework for the legal system
is provided by the Constitution of Nigeria.

English Law , which is derived from its
colonial past with Britain;
Common law , (case law development since
colonial independence);
Customary law , which is derived from
indigenous traditional norms and practices;
Sharia law, used in the northern part of
the country.
Like the United States, there is a judicial
branch , with the Supreme Court regarded as
the highest court of the land.


Executive branch
The executive branch is divided into Federal
Ministries, each headed by a minister
appointed by the president . The president
must include at least one member from each
of the 36 states in his cabinet. The
President's appointments are confirmed by
the Senate of Nigeria. In some cases, a
federal minister is responsible for more than
one ministry (for example, Environment and
Housing may be combined), or a minister may
be assisted by one or more ministers of State.
[1] Each ministry also has a Permanent
Secretary, who is a senior civil servant. [2]
The ministries are responsible for various
parastatals (government-owned
corporations), such as universities, the
National Broadcasting Commission, and the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
However, some parastatals are the
responsibility of the Office of the Presidency,
such as the Independent National Electoral
Commission , the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission and the Federal Civil
Service Commission. [3]


Legislative branch
The National Assembly of Nigeria has two
chambers : the House of Representatives and
the Senate. The House of Representatives is
presided over by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives . It has 360 members, who are
elected for four-year terms in single-seat
constituencies . The Senate , which has 109
members, is presided over by the President of
the Senate . 108 members are elected for
four-year terms in 36 three-seat
constituencies , which correspond to the
country's 36 states. One member is selected in
the single-seat constituency of the federal
capital.


Judicial branch
The judicial branch consists of the Supreme
Court of Nigeria, the Court of Appeals , the
High Courts, and other trial courts such as
the Magistrates ', Customary, Sharia and
other specialised courts. [4] The National
Judicial Council serves as an independent
executive body, insulating the judiciary from
the executive arm of government .[5] The
Supreme Court is presided over by the Chief
Justice of Nigeria and thirteen associate
justices, who are appointed by the President
of Nigeria on the recommendation of the
National Judicial Council. These justices are
subject to confirmation by the Senate .

What about NEPA, who will fine them for ripping Nigerians off from time immemorial.

People pay for services not rendered and the citizens are compelled to pay, either on postpaid or prepaid platform. NEPA make billions monthly and the money ends partly in private hands. Same with the fine.

Where is all the refunded Abacha loot? Nigerians should be asking questions on these things.

Even if you give Nigeria government $10b today, 97% or more of the money will end in private individuals account. So most people are happy about the fine, like they share out of it. Kobo, you won't see.

Where is all the Internally generated Revenues going into?

MTN remains the best network, not only in Nigeria but across Africa.

So the other networks are saints? Story.

Good question.

Thanks bro, am on it.

Title: Growing up is a disorder


V: 1
Am reminiscing
Back in the days when my dick was
only meant for pissing
Back in the days when my lips
knew nothing bout kissing
The times before maturity had my
guiltlessness missing
Uncontrollable metamorphosis have got
me quizzing
The essence of adolescence and why
she hate innocence
The pubescence brought complication
life no longer makes sense
Growing up moved in and sent
packing juvenescence
The infant side of me over the
years bowed to senescence
Way back when i was young it use
to be the candy
Now Peer pressure got my fucking
lungs filled with brandy
Back then grass was just a
playground today it comes in handy
I heard life's turned a bitch and
she changed her name to sandy
From cartoons to sex toons
Identity crises got me at war like
a motherfucking Platoon
The more a nigga gets older
comprehending life' s harder
Growing up is a disorder


V: 2
Recent upsurge in sexual urge is my
latest affliction
Fixation on feminine booty a recent
addiction
To love or to lust got me stuck in
a mental confliction
Tryna adapt to an era of sex
driven conviction
Affinity to femininity by masculinity
Got the Popularity of virginity in
rarity
Thanks to maturity hike in gender
inequality
And not to mention rise in
emotional ingenuity
Way before sweet was edible sugary
chemical
Its funny how sweet today is female
genital
Ma mind aint straight i need a
female janitor
Growing up got me perving and
Searching for notice in places i
never kept it
Commitment have got me skeptic
Cause heartbreak hurts like an
antiseptic
Neglect it or accept it to each his
own
Disregard or condone shit aint
change
Growing up still a disorder

Northerners are not united. If you doubt me then look at the Kanuri and Fulani. The Kanuri were the first muslims in Nigeria and they have illusions of superiority because of that. Also Boko Haram is a Kanuri enterprise.

My brother unity isnt absolute even within bloodline
we dont live in an ideal world.
You dont need unity to be 100% before things fall into place even 50% might just work the magic with the desired mindset.

gab264:
A northerner is a northerner"
I saw them as one from Fulani', the gambaries, the almajiris all of them have the same mind set, which is born to rule.

"Born to rule" is a mindset true
A united mindat is the reason why the northerners dont only talk the talk but now walk the walk as a matter of factuality they've been walking the walk since the inception of Nigeria.
it goes a long way to show that unity is sacrosanct. No man is an island I think they understand that.

Until we the easterners learn to unite our minds and see each other as one, not because we want to win an election or actualize a self interest but because we understand that we need eachother and together we will attain the much desired significance in the society than as a faction.
Until we get it right thats when we'll be fit to rule, but while we wallow in discord amongst ourselves let our status quo remain constant until we resolve to emancipate our mentality.

madridguy:
Nice observation from you OP. I hate the language " because we are from the minority group " the Northern states consist of so many tribes with different language but they see themselves as ONE. Call a man from Delta an Ibo and you will hear " I no be ibo man oooo " I be delta ibo.

Well, I rep Yoruba anyday anytime.

Thanks brother. 1 love

i want to share this lesson with my audience. This is not about Biafra and I do Not endorse the Language but I find it interesting for all to read. ............................................................ ............................................................ Some People Made Themselves Minority Tribe While Others Made Themselves Majority Tribe Some people are of the opinion that Goodluck Jonathan was "pushed aside" because he is from the minority tribe. But Muhammadu Buhari - a Fulani - is from a minority tribe too. Ijaws, the tribe of Jonathan are more populated than the Fulanis. Yes, Fulanis are not up to 5 million in population unlike the Ijaws, yet Buhari is the president. Recall that he had ruled before. Shagari and Yar Adua, two Fulanis had also ruled before too. Fulani - one of the minority tribes in Nigeria are holding Nigeria on its throat. How did they achieve this? They understood that, to stand alone doesn't pay. So, they attached themselves to Hausas and today, a lot of people call them Hausa/Fulani, without knowing that there is nothing like that. Now, come down to South - Ijaw doesn't want to mix with Ikwerri. Itsekiri doesn't want to mix with Urhobo. Anioma doesn't want to mix with Isoko etc. They prefer to stand alone but ask them what they have achieved in standing alone? NOTHING! Now you know..before you say that GEJ (the once zoo president) was pushed aside because he is from the minority tribe, know also that Buhari (current president of the zoo) is from the minority tribe. But some people made themselves majority tribe while some kept saying till this day that they're minority tribe!

Igbo kwenu!!!!

YAAAAAAA!

aresa:
How do you rationalize both?

You can not have it both ways and trying to do just that betrayed your half baked and thoughtless essay

It doesn't matter what you people do because some violence inciting and overthrow promoting prostitutes loving clown was arrested.

Only irresponsible governments look the other way and allow such breech slide unchallenged and neutralized.

If you like, carry gun or cutlass, it makes no difference, The Nigerian government is still responsible for the safety of the people of Nigeria so that clown is not above the laws of Nigeria..

Am Igbo by nature but Nigerian by colonial subjugation.
The latter was Gods plan while the former Gods will

This is how I rationalize both.

Oh! and by the way your opinion is immensely appreciated.

QuotaSystem:
The answer to your question is treason.

He was arrested for acts of TREASON as specified in the Criminal Code Act 1990 (subsections 41c and 42) so the arrest is completely valid.

He is also liable to a minimum of life imprisonment if found guilty. Buhari was never outsmarted.

Succinctly stated. Thanks brother you've given me answers.

FACTS ABOUT BIAFRA!
(1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with
HYDROCARBON/CRUDE OIL deposits in Niger Delta.
Imo, Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing
states in Nigeria with huge natural gas reserves, not
forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposits in
Enugu!
(2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous
access to the sea, including through the River Niger.
(3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million
people which is greater than the population many
advanced countries in Western Europe, including
Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland,
Austria....etc
(4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war,
violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical
confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means
political, economic and socio-cultural freedom from
a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists.
(5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo
land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not
live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still
maintain their residency wherever they are as well as
own properties anywhere in the world, including
Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc.
(6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never
translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties
of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in
Nigeria. There are many domestic and international
treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of
non-citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply
appropriately.
(7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous
and
willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria
and
would never be a forceful annexation of any
unwilling
ethnic nationality within its current geo-political
definition.
Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and
host of
other ethnic NATIONALITIES shall possess the privilege
to
decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo
brethren
or go their own separate ways..
( Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire
for liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks
like quota system and federal character principles in
Nigeria’s quasi-unitary society. It is a movement
against internal colonialism, tribal gang-ups,
economic marginalisation and political subjugation
of Igbo and her minority neighbours.
(9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic
chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society
where your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not
define who you are or how far you would
go in your career!

ba7man:
There are lots of past threads here on Nairaland containing news on how he insults and encourages his listeners to take up arms against Nigerian Authorities, Hausa and Yorubas....... it's common knowledge if you're regular in this section.

Don't have any source in hand right now but no regular visitor here will disclaim it. That dude has really been on a long leash for a while now.

Ok. On the insult allegation I agree with you I've witnessed the use of curse words by him on radio several times. I'll go do my homework. Thanks for the insight

Lanretoye:
I smell charges of treasonable felony.

You are making sense bro. but I still feel like it might not be that simplicit.

ba7man:
Crap.......... Nnamdi Kanu was making threats and instructing his followers to stock pile arms.

Now's the time to put his money where his mouth is.

This is actually incriminating, but for validity sake i would love to know the source so I can read up if you dont mind. Thank u.

Ballmer:
OP wake up. It's time to start making use of your brain, stop sleeping on it.

Well since you seem to be the making you of your brain, you should create an awareness of happenings am unaware about afterall I dont have a monopoly of knowledge. besides it was clearly stated this post was me seeking for enlightenment. So your review is still very much needed thank u.

iamkeyz:
i doubt that APC fans wont insult you and remind you of how buhari's body magic will bend the rules and make nigeria a dictatodemocracy practicing country...............

I guess I should brace for impact then.

First and foremost am Igbo 'Yes' but this writeup is neither to promote nor chastise the IPOB (Indigenous People Of Biafra) or the FG. But rather to further gain enlightenment from your objective reviews because the issue interests me.



So recently Mr nnamdi kalu leader of the IPOB was arrested and detained by DSS operatives. A moved nigerians have long expected. We all know he's been making a lot of noise lately which the FG has viewed as rather provocative.



Now if this arrest has no reasonable legal grounds for justification it could spark up controversies similar to the reactions that trailed the jamming of radio biafra's frequency, only that this time it might actually give the detainee and his group a genuine reason to push further with their secessionist plot and probably give them the global attention and assistance they've persistently seeked and you can trust the media would take advantage and blow it all out of proportion which will further publicize the struggle.



Nigeria doesnt run a dictatorship system where such arrest could be justified. Democracy thrives on due process and ideally shouldn't be characterized by such unprecedented actions. But this is Nigeria and our leaders will always find a way to bend the laws and cut corners to suite their interest. However the global resultance of this political or rather unconstitutional maneuvers seems to have escaped the minds some people.



The world has evolved such that the media has succeeded in making it impossible for the world to not interfere in another countries internal affairs.
it only takes but a click for an incident to go viral and become an issue for global delibration. Information now seems boundless, news like smoke cant be hidden anymore, freedom of all sorts and protection of human rights are volatile topics which do not only promote activism but also has a high propensity to gain free pubicity rapidly especially when abused & violated.



One thing is certain, surely this arrest will have consequences in future and the ability to justify it will determine the severity of the consequences.



Now am a bit curious as to how this arrest could be justified from a legal perspective without amounting to a case of abuse of fundamental rights and also an enlightenment on the possible implications would be immensly appreciated.

Thanks.
God bless Nigeria
God bless IPOB

Hello Nairalanders, I just learnt this now... Without waisting time lets get down to real business
So your fall fell inside a pool of water,, ow too bad, it can happen to anyone, do not panic just apply the following steps...

STEP 1: Take the phone out of the water immediately
STEP 2: Wipe the surface of the phone with a paper towel
STEP 3: If its an iphone, do not remove the battery, because doing that would void the warranty, after wiping the surface of the phone just place the phone in a bag of uncooked rice for 24 hours, it will absorb the water, bring it out afterwards and u can now switch on
If its not an iphone, ensure to remove the b3 and any oda detachable part of d fon before putting in a bag of uncooked rice...

O.P will dat rice still be fit for consumption after putting ones fone in there? I mean surely u knw mobile fones are blessed amongst hazard.
