mekaboy: What will it take to provide a temporary structure for these pple or financial compensation before the demolition exercise?

Even if they are wrong, these are the type of people that deserve pardon in nigeria not criminals.the greatest investment the govt will make is in human being
Not roads and buildings.

Why do you think developed countries have welfare packages? Is to enable the poor to be occupied while. Development is on going.

If you invest massively in infrastructure while neglecting the poor, your city will be developed but so will crime rate.
The development of both people and infrastructure should be going in parallel.

Some will shout its not by force to live in the city, if you can't afford it go back to ur village. The same people will wonder what this country is turning into when they r robbed or read stories of armed robbery attacks and kidnapping.

Of what use are the good roads when u can't drive of them because of armed robbers? What good are the building when u can't sleep with two eyes clothed in them?

it was not Fashola that granted olerms-a-yah amnesty.

wesley80: ^ If Fashola's bulldozer had'nt showed up would either of those lives have been lost?

Are you saying GEJ was responsible for the death of the people killed during the subsidy protest by security forces?
If GEJ did not increase the pump price of petroleum products would those people have been killed?

wesley80: ^ What killed them?

Only you can answer that.
No where in that post did i see the killing of anybody by a bulldozer.

naptu2: 1) Didn't Christ preach forgiveness?

2) Has anybody said that the amnesty, if it is indeed granted, would be unconditional and would apply to all?

I totally disagree with you.
Boko Haram folks do not deserve any amnesty. The only thing i think they deserve is bullets and grave.
You only negotiate with sensible people not senseless killers.
It is the apparent inefficiency of the lame Federal government that has make Boko Haram fighters ghosts. They are human being just like you but when the President does not know his right from his left you are left at the mercy of this cruel terrorist.
And stop bringing Jesus Christ into this because Jesus did not tell them to kill anybody.
Death to Boko Haram.

Misleading and Dubious title.
It was not the Bulldozer that killed the two.
Wesley why are you such an unyielding liar?

The true Boko Haram is showing face.

thunder fire your mouth for that statement.

chino11: You are an ediot..and a son of a b@stard.

At least Peter Obi is 100x better than that your useless talkative roaches..? Roches remains the worst governor out of the eastern Nigeria not only in his poor state of imo. While roches is busy building hotels for kidnappers and prost1tutes in his imo state, Peter Obi is industrializing and attracting muiltnationals to Anambra as the hub of the East.

Today at least 1/5 of imo state population are living and earning their living in Anambra courtesy of employment generation drive of Obi administration. It is on record that you cannot find a single Anambran living in your so called ""performing"" imo state.

Today within 2years of his draconian ruler-ship imo state is now the undisputed most indebted state in the SE, owing over 100B without nothing on the soil of imo state to show for it, instead he has gone to the north and used it to built Mosques for his northern cousins and paid the rest into tinubo's account thereby living imo state pauperized than he met it.

What does that tell you, it means that imo state has been ruled all these by fraudsters till now. Imo state needs a Peter Obi to bring about good governance and employment generation.

Fool stop throwing tantrums around the forum.

Sincere 9gerian: ** Tenure Elongation For Local Government Chairmen and Councillors In Lagos State Is Illegal and Immoral

By Femi Falana (SAN)

Our attention has been drawn to the Local Government Amendment Bill 2013 which is being debated by the members of the Lagos State House of assembly. In the main, the Bill seeks to elongate the tenure of the current chairmen and councillors from three to six years. With respect, the proposal is illegal in every material particular. It has to be withdrawn or struck down in the overall interests of the people of Lagos State who are due to participate in fresh local government election in October 2013.

As the chairmen and councillors were elected in October 2010 for a fixed period of three years their term of office will expire in October 2013 by effluxion of time. Therefore, an amendment of the Lagos State Local Government Law, 2001 under which they were elected CANNOT extend their tenure from three to six years under any disguise. Since the proposed amendment takes effect if and when it is passed into law it cannot retrospectively extinguish vested rights and obligations of the out-going chairmen and councillors. In other words, the proposed amendment to the Lagos State Local Government Law cannot take a retrospective effect and thereby elongate the tenure of the chairmen and councillors from three to six years.

No doubt, the House of assembly of each State is vested with the powers to make laws for the local governments in the State by virtue of Section 7 of the Constitution. But in exercise of such legislative powers the House of Assembly cannot enact laws with retrospective effect in a way that accrued rights of the people are abrogated.

In this regard, the constitutional rights of the peopleof Lagos state to take part in periodic elections of not more than three years to elect chairmen and councillors cannot be extinguished by the House of Assembly. However, if the Local Government Law is amended to provide for a 4-year tenure for chairmen and councillors the amendment cannot enure to the benefit of the current chairmen and councillors whose term of office is three years certain.

In the circumtances, we are compelled to draw the attention of the members of the Lagos StateHouse of assembly to the case of Attorney-General of Abia State & 35 Ors V Attorney-General of the Federation (2001) 17 WRN 1 wherein the Supreme Court held that even though the chairmen and councillors of local government councils throughout the country were elected under Decree no 38 of 1998 which had been repealed, their 3-year tenure could not be extended or prolonged by any law enacted by the National Assembly. In the same vein, the 3-year tenure of chairmen and councillors fixed by the Lagos state LG Law, 2001 cannot be elongated by any amendment whatsoever and howsoever.

It is pertinent to remind the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly that their predecessors unanimously kicked against the tenure elongation of President Olusegun Obasanjo through a fraudulent constitutional amendment. They are therefore morally estopped from manipulating the Law to elongate the tenure of elected chairmen and councillors in Lagos State. Having regard to the penchant of the political class in Nigeria to copy bad examples the Lagos House of Assembly should not be allowed to set a dangerous precedent by engaging in the illegal extension of elected chairmen and councillors in LagosState. If the tenure of the local government chairmen and councillors in Lagos State is extended through an anomalous amendment of the Local Government Law, all other public oficers in Nigia who were elected via the 2011 General Elections may also want to take advantage of the proposed amendment of the Constitution to elongate their tenure to 2019 without contesting any election in 2015.

In the light of the foregoing, we urge the members of the Lagos State House of Assembly to jettison the proposed elongation of the tenure of chairmen and councillors of local government councils in Lagos State forthwith. However, if the dangerous Bill is passed by the House and signed to law by Governor Raji Fashola SAN we shall not hesitate to challenge its legal validity in court without any further notice.

Femi Falana SAN.
