Meanwhile, the Majority is not always the Best. . .

And the minority are always a lonely bunch!

The dude should also concentrate on our refineries!

Now its time for the hawks to feed!

this is where i should be, not the politics section

I honestly love Plat, the way she delivers her subtle insults makes me glued to the thread!


@dappssee:

Atta boy!. . . you ve got a whole bag of confidence, and ballz too

t's even more evident that you're the one that can't read, or write.
Another reality that you wouldn't like is that as the NSA, Gusau has more data than anybody in Nigeria about any aspect of life. He propably has more data about banks than Sanusi claimed to have, and if you're asking for the data on the pages of this thread, good luck to you, because you wouldn't get it.

What a funny guy you are!

You think this is USA where reports are collated and made available to all agencies on a minute by minute basis?----this is exactly what happens when people spend their time watching 24 {tv series}  

The NSA in Nigeria wouldn't even know if there is a riot going on in Jos until he hears it over the news.

and besides, what makes you think banks file their report through such agencies? you really need to read up about banking in Nigeria.

The only Government watchdog that gets certain bank reports is the EFCC, every other thing is filed through the CBN, so i'd pardon your ignorance when you unwittingly said the NSA probably has more data on banks than the Central Banks.

You can predict your future séx life here, for real!

Hellooooooooooooo!

safariman:
Aondoakaa should not be allowed to absconed, but like most people here said, the directive should come via a court order. Didn't R Lukman also disobeyed Ag Pres and traveled out anyway?

Exactly what i have been trying to say!

zoraro:
@Shock, you're are over stretching the issue of personal rights in a democracy. In a democracy there are also superior authorities, in this case the AP said he should take permission before traveling aboard but he decided that he is too big for that (insubordination).
I don't understand what you mean by "If the President is not my employer". The President has even more power over you than your employer.

If i work in a Government organisation, like the stock exchange, military,Head Master of a public school, or even perhaps i'm occupying a public position such as a ministerial appointment, then the government is my employer, literarily saying, the President is my employer.

However, if i don't, let's just say i run a small private consultancy and i receive absolutely no benefit from the government, then the President is not my employer and i am not obliged under any constitution to obey any direct orders from him. and in such case, the president has no power over me and i can even sue the government if i believe my rights is being infringed upon.

Do you realize that if the president comes to my house, i can walk him out and shut the door, that's not insubordination, we are both Nigerian citizens, and the constitution was made for the purpose of equality,  . .legally, he doesn't have more right than i do.

That's why there is freedom in a democratic government, and that includes freedom of movement.

@Lastpage:

I agree with you, that pending trials, he might be a flight risk and as such shouldn't be allowed to leave the borders.

All i'm stressing however is that this should have a legal backing.

The Acting president is not the only one who is a representative of the constitution, every Nigerian is! and every Nigerian should be subjective to that constitution, the Acting President has no such higher rights than either me or you!

The Acting President shouldn't be a law unto himself, if he wants to stop a private citizen from travelling outside the country, then there should be a court approval to it, not doing so, is dictatorial in nature.

And where do we draw the line between what a presidential order is and how it applies to private citizens?

If the President is not my employer, he simply can't wake up tomoro and tell me not to eat!. . .It's only possible in a military/dictatorial regime!

If their are pending investigations on him, them the Federal Republic should get a restraining order from court that stops him from moving outside the country, otherwise, let them charge him to court!

Sky Blue:
You are right, we are in a democracy and getting a court order is the ideal, however, considering the notorious wait times Nigerian courts are known for I will say this is would be a more pragmatic approach to take. The guy is not being starved to death, he is just being stopped from leaving the country because he is considered a flight risk.

Where then do we draw the line? Who, or what yardstick do we use to measure someone who can be considered a flight risk?  Is it right or legal for an individual to declare another a flight risk and withdraw such person's privileges to leave the country when he or she wishes to do so without the backing of the court?

Yes he's not being starved to death, but what if it wasn't him?, perhaps someone whose survivor depends on the foreign trip, or maybe he just needed a quick checkup abroad? How then do you explain to a willing ear that "I can't leave my country because that Acting President says not to leave"

The dude is a private citizen, just like Seun Osewa, Skyblue, Fhemmmmy, mukina, Kosovo or even becomerich {okay maybe not becomerich}

Everything seem to boil down to personal opinions, and use of yardstick which is subjective rather than objective.

^^ why did modify your post? I was just about responding to that!

That's a great leverage you've got, the country needs intellects like you!

Sky Blue:
It is not uncommon for the movement of people under investigation to be restricted, in fact, it is almost standard practise especially when there is significant flight risk. No need for all of us to blow uneccessary grammar here, if a man under investigation is restricted from leaving the country and such is seen as draconian, what about those in the US who are not even allowed to leave a city due to pending investigations?

Am i missing something here?  The fact that it is not uncommon does not even make it right to begin with, such folks are entitled to fight for their human rights!

And in most cases, there is always a court approval backing such things up, in this case it might be interpreted as an abuse of power.

The acting President tells a private citizen "don't travel unless you get permission from me"!. . . for what? the Acting President isn't his daddy!

If you will agree with me, most post here is being subjective based on people's personal judgement that the dude is corrupt, and yet not even a single charge has been filed against him.

Don't get me wrong, i also share such opinions about him being corrupt, but we cannot neglect the fact that such restriction of movement can be categorically described as an abuse of his personal rights.


If you want to restrict someone's movement, then do so using appropriate legal channels, what if its not Aondoakaa, let's say it is someone like Wole Soyinka or even you, would you still hold on to this theory?

We are not in a military regime, this is democratic government!

I'm not a fan of Aondoakaa, far from it that i be associated with him, however, i believe its a little out of place that he be denied his freedom of movement, especially if he hasn't be charged for breaking the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The dude has been sacked, the government has no right to restrict his movement, it is against everything democracy stands for.

On what basis or jurisdiction is the Acting President Jonathan restricting the movement of a fellow citizen?

[size=13pt]THE LAW SAYS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY[/size]

from all indications, folks here are merely talking based on sentiments and personal opinions on who is good and who is not.

If he has charges to answer, let the Police arrest and charge him to court which in turn has the jurisdiction to restrict his movement, Jonathan is not a court
