That is a lawyer for you.
They can argue anything
Turns white to black and vice versa.
He said the Senate has no such powers to summon the president.
The other side of his mouth is saying Buhari should be impeached for not honouring invitation by the NASS.

kenzysmith:
he has gone for HIV to st twice comes out negative

Has he done TB ?

He should go to the hospital with out delay.

They killed the farmers without collecting the farmers crops.

Baba GOD we are crying for justice.

The question is "what do they want"?

If the government can't protect the people any more, the question is " do we still need this government "?

Nigeria gradually becoming a failed state where nobody is safe.

You must stop the air from transferring the sweet aroma of your stew from getting to her apartment.
Otherwise your rent increase.

Juliusmalema:
I think it is high time this girl or woman, shut the hell up

Are you the only ENDSARS activist in Nigeria.


I was really disappointed when she tagged Ken Saro Wiwa an activist.

Ken Saro Wiwa is not an activist, he fought for his pocket and when those sponsoring feels that he has collected enough, they executed him and close his chapter many years ago.

If Ken Saro Wiwa is an activist then buhari is also an activist afterall he protested against Jonathan concerning insecurity, fuel subsidy in 2014.

People like you are not even ashamed to be agent of this oppressive government .

How much is the government paying you to be an agent be against the people, try to bury the truth.

You are trying to do your job " government agent" by distressing the thread from DJ switch response to Lai Mohamed statement .

You try to digress from that to Ken Sarowiwa.

Since you are an agent to the federal government, one can see why you can't see the lies in the lier minister Lai Mohamed.

This your bad work against naked conscience will haunt you one day, that you will regret that you ever did this job.

Anybody still supporting APc needs his head examined...

We shall change our party name from APC to NRPC ( Nigeria Renaissance Peoples Congress )

Watch out.

TheGift:
They should rest and do nothing

Try not to respond to such post next time.
Responding to the post makes the person feel important.

Let us keep them where they belong if they don't want to join us to change this country for good.

Thank GOD that the NA is remembering gradually

I just want to remind the Nigeria Army that they fired water cannon so that no protester got hurt.

Please don't forget to add that theory after 2 days.

22gist14:
the broadcast we watched was made even before the protest became violent so the need for curfew.

see he said nothing about lekki toll gate shooting..
pre-recorded broadcast as usual

if you want use your hand lift the curfew try am na we da here da look you

bye

I want us to resume the protest as soon as possible.

The curfew has been lifted.

obiekunie2:
he just proved me right.

zero dignity.

Your parents wasted money sending you to school.

I hate to communicate with stupid people like you because they don't understand . And quick to use fowl language on social media.

People like you should be filtered out of nairaland.

Asshole

obiekunie2:
yes. insinuation.

I know now that I responded to a post by a fool who does not know the ethics of communication in a public domain and refuses to learn.

I pray you get out of your ignorance and do not let your anger about the current situation in the country drive you to greater stupidity and frustration.

obiekunie2:
is not an insult - its an insinuation. no offense.

the country is on volcano - almost everybody is angry, myself inclusive.

Insinuation ?

obiekunie2:
IS THIS YOUR QUESTION SARCASM OR YOU MEAN IT??

a president not showing any atom of sympathy to those who got injured and killed right under his watch(an action that attracted both local and international condemnation) is not insulting to you??

a president who doesn't see the need to placate irate youths that have been on rampage for close to a week but rather commands them to go home like he is the one that told them to protest in the first instance - is not insulting to you?

a president insultingly telling the international community to mind their business as per southern issue is no issue - is not insulting to you

PERMIT ME TO SAY YOU DONT HAVE DIGNITY SIR!

Your explanation is understood and valid

but try to be passive and civil in your communication.

Don't you think your last line is needless ?

Xscape1993:
Was he the one that started the protest?

Do we need to wait for the governor of Lagos to lift the curfew after the much awaited presidential Speach has directed all Nigerians to go about their businesses?

Though I am disappointed, What is insultive about the president's Speach ?

The president's speach

" 24. I therefore call on our youths to discontinue the street protests and constructively engage government in finding solutions. Your voice has been heard loud and clear and we are responding.

25. And I call on all Nigerians to go about their normal businesses, and enjoin security agencies to protect lives and properties of all law abiding citizens without doing harm to those they are meant to protect. Let me pay tribute to officers of the Nigeria Police Force who have tragically lost their lives in the line of duty."


I wish fellow NL member to analyse the statement frombthe president's Speach above,
considering our federal constitution and issues of concurrent jurisdiction .

Different state governors have declared curfew and the president's speach at no. 24 and 25 specifically call on Nigerian to go about their normal business and enjoined security agencies to protected lives and properties of all law abiding citizens without doing harm to those they are meant to protect.

It means president Buhari has lifted all current curfews imposed by various state governors.

What is your thought on this.

Thank you president General Muhamadu Buhari.

I am disappointed in the speech. He came telling us things we already know.
If he has achieved so much , why is there so much poverty in the land and so much joblessness in the country.
His speech is also insultive to the international community , that they should say what they know.

His speech was like his usual speeches in the past.

He claimed right and unnecessarily legal.

I feel he did not give enough regard to the youth struggle and the president 's handlers are a bunch of disappointment .

I am disappointed

ibedun:
Fake news all over!

He was actually in Turkey but the Nigerians there with assistance of some Israelis, they put him in crate and right now on board turkey airline. They are bringing him back to Nigeria.

You people should go and wait for him at the airport

Kingdemu:
if he dies as a result of the use, to such extent and in such circumstances as are permitted by law, of such force as is reasonably necessary –

Try to understand the clause hilighted above.

Are you saying it is lawful to use live ammunition on unarmed protesters?

Under what circumstances would they use "teargas" "water spray" and plastic "bullets"?

Murderer Sanwo Olu will tell the world
1. his duty as a governor

2. Light goes off preceded the shooting on order to cover up.

3. Who sent soldiers to attack the protesters without the governor's consent?

4. The whole world was watching the protesters and waiting to see your action after your curfew.

5. We believe now that Lagos has a governor that once had a mental problem.and a drug addict..

6. Lekki toll gate light and Alausa protest ground light were put off, proceeding the shooting and brainless Sanwo Olu open investigation into the incident in a state where he is the chief security officer

7. If he says he does not know what happen, he has to tell us what he does with his security vote.

*Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi To President Buhari:*

A Soldier salary is 49,000 forty nine thousand naira, some no accommodation they rent house outside the barrack no risk allowance instead they sleep inside bush fought to defend the Nation.

A classroom teacher with degree certificate receives 49,000 (fourty nine thousand) approximately accross the nation without good housing accommodation, acces to electricity, potable water, health care facilities and means of transportation yet you expect them to produce good engineers, bankers, lawyers, economists, architecture etc that will compete favourably with foreigners to fix the country.

Where is the change?
Change should start with the National assembly: = A Senator receives N36,000,000 (thirty-six million Naira) monthly. If this is divided into two = N18,000,000 million (Eighteen million Naira). The second half which is N18,000,000 (eighteen million Naira) can be used to employ 200 Nigerians, each earning a salary of N90,000 (ninety thousand Naira) monthly. When you multiply 200 people with the number of Senators (109), this will give 21,800 Nigerians gainful employment. In short, 200 Nigerians will be able to live a comfortable life on half a Senator’s monthly salary.
A member of the House of Representatives receives a salary of N25,000,000 (tenty-five million Naira) monthly. If this salary is divided in two = N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira). The other half, which is the sum of N12,500,000 (twelve million and five hundred thousand Naira) will be enough to employ 135 Nigerians with a monthly salary of N92.500 (ninety-two thousand and five hundred Naira) each. Nigeria has 360 Members of the House of Representatives, half of their salaries can employ 48,600 Nigerians who can live comfortable lives.

So, Buhari’s Administration can employ 70,400 Nigerians with monthly salaries ranging from N90,000 to N92.500 accordingly. This is just by dividing the salaries of Senators and Members of the House of Representatives. Half their present salaries is more than enough for them in a country where majority of Nigerians live on less than a dollar a day. (Now think of all the other over bloated salaries and allowances of Ministers and others)

You may try this idea Your Excellency, the President...

Nigerians, spread this message to Senators and Members of the House of Representatives and others

rawtouch:
give chance there u have no powers to ban peaceful gatherings,

Who told you that the governor has no powers to ban peaceful gatherings. ?

All senators and reps are adviced to go back to their constituencies and talk with the agrieved youths.

We voted for them but they did not represent us.

If you fault my argument, then answer this questions.....

Why will govt owe workers salaries but senators and reps get their salaries and allowances whenever due ?

They neglect our educational system,destroy it,set up their own schools and even send their children abroad where they boast making first class.

They owe doctors and no medical facilities in our hospital. When they are sick they fly abroad and get the best medical attention.
They receive multiple retirement benefits as rep, governor, senator , ministers and all former presidents.

Why will Nigeria not be broke.


All senators and reps are adviced to go back to their constituencies and talk with the agrieved youths.

fergie001:
Babajide Sanwo-olu

Edo people defied Obaseki's curfew order.

The police are running for safety.

Lagos government and police need to learn from this.

Do not provoke the youth further.

If government will listen to my advice......

All senators and all reps should go back to their constituencies and talk with the people that voted them to office.

Jack005:
What if they defy the curfew and the number of people protesting are very high? How do you disperse such huge crowd? By the way, the protest should be aligning towards ending bad government.

If they want to change government, they should wait for election time.
We are in democracy.

Copied:
*STATE OF THE NATION*
*A SELF DECEIVING COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA !!*

*Twenty-one senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.*

*The current senators who once served as governors are Ibrahim Gaidem of Yobe, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun and so on*

*The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.*

*Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN)*

*In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.*

*In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.*

*It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.*

*This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.*

*NOW I ASK:*
*How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors?Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life?* *Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?*

*As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?*

*IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE. *

*Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.*

*Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria. The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.*

*Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to maintain each member of our National Assembly in a country where nothing works & 80% of population earn below 300 Naira a day ? A working day earning of a senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70 commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the US President or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.*

*It's high time the country had a referendum on those outrageous salaries of Senators, House of Representative members and other political office holders.*

*If you are seriously against the looting of our commonwealth in Nigeria, in the name of democracy, you can let this piece go viral by sharing it with as many of your contacts and groups too!*

_IF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU JOIN THE WORLDWIDE #ENDSARS PROTEST, THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.._

```This revolution is far beyond ending sars now, IT IS REFORMING NIGERIA...```

Change is coming

We have many high standard universities in Nigeria.

Why would the children of politicians be allowed to go school abroad ?

There are certain rules we need to introduce.

If you must hold a political office, your children must attend school in Nigeria and you must be Nigerian in all you do.
