Telling lies about past Presidents when the news comes from the Financial times and Washington Post an BBC articles. That's trash? You obviously have no idea of scholarship and research. Of course I will keep quoting you. I will drum those links and show up your failed efforts to present yourself as a reasoned political commentator. Your prejudice keeps you from even doing basic research before making sweeping statements.

I am ready to show you up. Youve tangled with the wrong person. Reply and let's get started. I've got time for people like you.

Don't quote you ke? You've seen nothing yet. Start by clicking on there links below. That should be simple enough even for you.

I have addressed your points. Write your senator and ask for the freedom of information act to be amended to compel public service holders to disclose their health condition.

As for the rest of your contribution I don't engage at that level.

the northern youths don't involve in crime because they are close to power they steal from Abuja, Igbo youths are not close to power they don't steal from abuja but they push drugs internationally to make money, Yoruba youths are not in power they don't steal from Abuja, and they don't have the connection to push drugs so they involved in rituals human killings and alayes to make money to survive. God bless Nigeria one day things will be OK for us all.

And you know for a fact that the President is bedridden. You didn't even read and understand the distinction between illness and incapacity that is contained in the comment neither did you even consider the context of of response.

There is so much blunt instrument, headline gazing commentary these days. We just need to deal with it and keep going.

Unlike your comment which is clearly political I have chosen to address issues. Because I know for a fact that invectives and abuse does not change anything; It merely allows people to get rid of their overflow of bile. For as long as a duly elected President is in office he has my support until the next election. I am not going to attack the pilot flying the plane I am traveling in.

The issue was does a President have to resign because he is sick? My answer is NO. He only needs to be removed or forced to resign when he is incapacitated. The issue of what constitutes incapacity is a matter for the courts to decide. This is how democracies are advanced an institutions made strong.

Everything else is beer parlour conversation.

The question of whether a President is unfit to rule is a matter of fact that requires medical definition. A President is not unfit simply because he is sick. He is unfit to rule when he can no longer understand or be understood. Sicknesses, no matter how serious is not enough to remove him. Here are a few examples from the U.S as we share the same political system;

1. Woodrow Wilson President, 1913-1921; stroke during entire term

2. Franklin D Roosevelt President, 1933-1945; polio unable to walk during entire Presidency

3. Dwight Eisenhower President, 1953-1961; heart and Crohn's disease

4. John F Kennedy President, 1961-1963; degenerative bone disease

5. Ronald Reagan, 1981-1989; cancerous polyps

As it is, he has handed over to the Vice President ensuring that there is no break in government business. I think this a tired story that needs to rest. The constitution has made adequate provision for any eventuality. But the headline point is that incapacity and not illness is the only reason a President should step aside, no matter how serious the illness is.

Well he try sha

But Fayose came to present a budget on military fatigue and u all hailed him and said nothing wrong.

murtalaa:
it's because you guys are ignorant of the powers of President. The president has used his executive power and waived the requirement of appointing someone from within the career servicemen and by so doing has waived his requirement to wear the uniform.

drnoel:
Imagine if the Nigerian reps or senate make sure a law that forces them and executives to act on petitions like this? This will help full representation of the Nigerian masses and boycott a case where ur representatives do whatever they want. It will help accountability. This kind of thing is what should be pushed for in Nigeria. Ur voices should be heard not ignored.

Some mörons will never be able to comprehend what the American people are doing.


They will see this as a time waste but if you check the history of America, you will know that the country got to where it is today because of its marches.


Women got the right to vote, Blacks got the right to be treated equally, and the use of nuclear weapons were stopped because of marches like this.


Americans are not like some daft people in one backwards continent who will prefer to sit in their house and call on God to fight their poverty-stricken battles.


It is because of sacrifices like this, that is why it is possible for people like you to go over there with your backwards mentality and enjoy the same rights they do.


Most of you will kill yourself to enter there. Yet you will come online to talk rubbish about people who want a better society for themselves.


They know it is not possible for trump to leave, but with this march, they are telling their leaders that you may be in power but the people still have the power over you.


But I doubt the average Nigerian will understand, we are too busy begging baba God to pick up our call.
