1. The president is the commander of the Nigerian armed forces, not the legislature. The legislature cannot summon the executive regarding the use of the Nigerian armed forces that's perfectly under the control of the executive according to the Nigerian constitution, that's democracy.

2. Nigeria has 3 Branches of Our Government, the Legislative, Executive and Judicial, all 3 are equal and independent so the legislature doesn't have any statutory or constitutional power to summon the executive or question the executive per the Nigerian armed forces.


Read the Nigerian constitution and while you are at it, civic education.

the president can be summoned concerning the security situation and human right abuse by the military, and also questioned. your argument of being the commander of the armed forces does not make him immune to query, if you can't sack your failed service chiefs then you need to answer why.

I met emeka ike at a wedding around year 2000 or 2001 I was very young then, we were just staring.

dude is of Lebanese origin

and yet the govt wants us to live in the mirage that they have created, to believe all is going well not because our reality says so but just Buhari or any member of his govt says so, only those whose greed are being satisfied supports such evil government.

I believe the purpose of the invite is for him to be questioned and grilled, if he is coming to recite speech let him just siddon for house, you can't go to an interview to answer your own questions.

Some people just enjoy lawlessness and anarchy what's the need for a second protest when the issues of the first one are being addressed


.

of course the issues are being addressed by witch hunting protesters, freezing accounts, and killing innocent protesters, denying any wrongdoing.

today he says apc has failed tomorrow lai mohammed will tell you Buhari has delivered, how shameless can they get.

I kinda like this guy sha seem nice and cool headed, God bless you abundantly.

with all the bulls hit happening in Nigeria, you can't blame the Chinese for joining in on the joke that is Nigeria, a nation where monkey eats money' look at the bulls hit that happened in lekki where the govt gave some of the most insensitive response, the Chinese just confirmed the sorry state of thing in Nigeria.

Are you sure that osaze's account ain't parody.
I can't see any verification mark

my thought too, it looks fake.

this is all they can do, somehow this fools think this counts for something.

helinues:
They always have solution to the problems when they are not in power

well I guess buhari is the best thing to happen to you then? if so may your life be as the Nigerian govt and the Nigerian economy, you shall be as safe as nigeria.

Arrewa:
see them!!

Make una enjoy!!

Over 40 farmers were killed in Borno village.

You ipobs have been celebrating this tragedy opening thread up and down on how the north is gone.

Farmers were killed in Borno village. But I have been seeing comments from the Easterners telling us how the whole of the north is gone and Wil never know peace.

The unity in the north is second to none!!

The killings happened not to Hausa or Fulanis.

The killings happened to kanuris of Borno.

But we share their pains!!

Killing of 43 innocent villagers in Borno is like a killing in kano to me.

For those mocking the whole north of Over the killings in Borno. Keep it up and enjoy!!

Dear people zabarmari We have failed you. To all those killed, May Allah grant them Aljannatu Firdaus. It's a shame that the people in Zamfara, kastina, Kaduna villages and Zabarmari couldn't get the protection they deserve. This is a failure of security, manifesting before our very eyes.

Heavy Protest loading....

nobody is mocking the north this are our brothers and sisters, all anger needs to be channeled to the right enemy, the govt.

jah bless ya home and keep you all safe. hml

She @Wathoni, actually has an attractive facial structure, way better than Nengi’s.

But fair girls are naturally more catchy, them dey enter the eye fast and every colour contrasts perfectly with their skin, thus giving them more allure.

I argued this with my sis during the show,glad to know my beauty preference is shared by others.

RenaissanceGuy:
Let's not be emotional about this. Yakubu Gowon was in Ethiopia attending a meeting when he was overthrown. So how did he then move half of CBN? Did he come back to Nigeria to tell the new military govt to give him half of the CBN treasury? Impossible. Bring up your own "superior" logic.
The guy said the man LEFT NIGERIA with half of CBN money. Actually, Gowon went to the UK FROM ETHIOPIA after he learned of his ouster. So it doesn't add up.


MODIFIED: For all of you quoting me misunderstanding my logic, it's the lawmaker who didn't use the right words. He said Yakubu 'left Nigeria with half of CBN' meaning the looting was after he was overthrown and was done at once. He should have said "Yakubu stole half of the CBN while he was the head of state".

guess you have a low comprehension level in english, left with does not mean the funds where looted the last day in office, we all know Nigeria's politicians start looting immediately they take office, btw I doubt the half of CBN comment but I know for a fact that nigeria has never had a man of integrity in power.

tot:
Foolish Nigerians will soon come and defend their politicians - yet 1960 till date, very little development - bad roads, bad healthcare, falling standards.
Hungry people aka BMC defending those that have fed fat on their commonwealth. Senselessness at its peak.

Same way Cameron the former Prime Minister referred to Nigerians as fantastically corrupt. You think they make such statements for talking sake? These guys know the depth of corruption in Nigeria even more than Nigerians.

while I may doubt the half of CBN claim, no doubt he also stole from the nation just like the rest of em, he can't claim to be man of integrity.

hisexcellency34:
Sanwo himself is tired. If he has his way, na to resign shaperly

resign my ass, him no join chop. have you ever seen anyone resign a top position in nigeria.

gulfer:
If Buhari does such on the eve of his handover, every dick and harry go dey talk...

first Buhari 's aide cannot even be in prison in the first place. because of the level of corruption and a failed justice system.

RIP to a great one

seunmsg:
It is not an offense if they follow the constitutional process of removing the president. However, it becomes an offense when they attempt to remove the president through insurrection.

the masses have a fundamental right to protest even if the protest was targeted at Buhari was it a crime, everywhere in the world when leaders fail they resign, you all make it sound like it's an abomination for a clueless and corrupt president to resign, secondly you can't put every protester in one basket some where more focused on police brutality , others on the cost of governance, some on corruption, so when this fools just speak like buhari completing his stupid presidency is more important than the lives and wellbeing of Nigerians, you know just how evil they are.

Alexaonfleek:
I watched 1 movie that made me cry in 2018.
I can't remember the name of the movie now
But the movie is a romance movie that is about an old married couple trying to remember their love story or so.
The woman(then a girl) met the guy in her teens and they were each other's first love.
The girl was rich,the guy was struggling.
They separated somehow and for years they didn't hear from each other.
The lady was to get married to another guy but her first love came back in the pic.
What made me cry was how they died together holding hands on the same bed.
If anyone can help me with the name please I would appreciate.

Then another one I watched this year.
About two black American couples who out of self defense killed a white policeman and were on the run.
Also this movie, 'i am somebody's child' or so,the story of Regina Louise.

i thinkthe first one is the notebook

thebosstrevor1:
So when reporting news, you have to be one sided and bias.

How do you think?

its shameful when you speak, talking about one sided the govt narrative is very well known to be all lies, who should CNN talk to in the govt you tell me is it the president who failed to address the lekki incident when he gave a speech, or the Military who lied that they weren't there, after being caught on videos they said we were there but didn't shoot, then they were caught again as liars, and then they said they shot because they were attacked, or CNN should have talked the the stupid minister if Justice who said the soldiers were hooldlum in military uniforms. how more shameless can ya"ll get.

Afonja2:
They admitted they went to the protest ground with live bullet not to use it on the protesters but to defend themselves

If you know how security agents work, you will agree that no soldier will go on such an assignment without being properly armed in case of any unexpected episode.

what where they doing there in the first place, everyone has a right to protest somehow you think this is any excuse you can't even justify the govt their flaws is on so many level, they weren't suppose to be their in the first place, they weren't suppose to even shoot either blank or live except you are trying to infringe on their right.

Neddstark:
Where are those clowns that pushed dumb youths to sacrifice themselves in the name of Endsars? Hope you can see the consequences of igniting fire on a country that is sitting on a hotbed. Any conflict in Nigeria will lead to bloodshed by hoodlums, touts, police and the military. This is not about who is in power, when things go out of hands in Nigeria, it is always bloody. You never know the value of peace untill you see war.

RIP to the innocent that died in Oyigbo. Please let us think twice before setting the nation of fire for our own selfish causes.

by thinking twice you mean we should learn to take shit, and just be slaves in our own nation otherwise we may get the powers that be angry by demanding our fundamental human right, we should all just be zombies, otherwise whatever may happen is on us. your reasoning smh.

this pain will always be in my heart until the govt pay for this. they are trying so hard to sweep it under the rug, nothing will ever remain the same, they kept denying this, they want us to just forget this ever happened while they go back to their normal of evil, corruption and oppression, thank you cnn for echoing the truth we all knew all along.

that's like asking Al queda to probe acts of terrorism.

dukeprince50:
its not about political party, cos APC had good intentions for Nigeria but they all later changed and just a few of them(if there is any self) still hold some few integrity.
It about individual, Amaechi may be a thief but he is better than any other person in APC. even Wike who they call Mr Project doesn't even come close to Amaechi when he was a gov.
As a minister, he was arguably the best

I get your point but I just want a situation where we are completely free and unattached from the old system, you know there may be one or two good eggs among them but who will be those who gives them the presidential ticket ? the party also has a say on who gets what appointment? and then the political godfathers whose interest would also be protected while under Osinbajo nigeria may grow but can tinubu or buhari etc be fully probed and persecuted?no there will always be sacred cows but if we restart afresh we can set up our own foundation because everyone will be technically political virgins so there would be no sacred cows.

dukeprince50:
Osinbajo for 2023, he is always speaking the truth.

No one should come and shout youths are taking over in my ear o. I have seen youths who held some leadership position and did nothing. Even SUG and faculty president are office of thieves, ordinary course rep back then in my school was so corrupt, we had to impeach him.
Ordinary protest, we begin loot shop, Make Osinbajo or Amaechi just contest, nothing will make me vote any youth that I know nothing of.
Age is not a criteria for good governance, we have to look at personality

the biggest issue here wouldn't even be age but political affiliation, you think the apc /pdp govt can really do a 360 turn around for nigeria.

nice one seun the people are not there because of the government, the government is there because of the people, why would any govt who claims to have done well be threatened by gathering, and BTW someone needs to tell Buhari that he got to be really stupid to think he can dictates when citizens gather and for what purpose, I guess if they had gather as pro Buhari supporters he would have applauded it, tyranny will not win this is a nation of almost 200milliom people for you who consist of less than 0.0001 percent to think you can make use of force to keep the people under your will is really crazy. the struggle continues

to he'll with this bullshit no man of integrity appoints criminals, no man of integrity defends criminals, it is insensitive to still try and use the false propaganda of fighting corruption, when your actions say otherwise, Buhari is obviously the biggest criminal in his govt
