America is full of ghetto's.

I was shocked with what I saw when I first visited the place compared to how they portray themselves in film and in the media.

America is a far from perfect.

Trust me,

This picture looks menacing.

Poster please find a more pleasant looking image.

Thanks,

Must you wait for your enemy to declare war against you before you realise you are at war?

America has been at war (economic) with China for many years.

Unfortunately on a financial scale they appear to be losing.

But the financial scale is based on the dollar - Which for those in the know is a worthless currency due to the amount that has been printed and is in circulation.

China has amassed a rediculous amount of dollars - which only has value whilst America say's it has value!

There is a fierce batlle now surrounding other countries mineral and energy resources which China is fighting covertly - including in Nigeria.

America has always been very brash and overt in their actions. China makes moves covertly and just like America doesn't care who they exploit.

The whole world knows what America is about - But what about China?

There is a saying - Better the devil you know.

And nobody really knows what China is about or what there true intentions are.

All we can do as a country and continent (Africa) is fight back against their exploitation and become at least as scrupolous as them in our dealings with these international rogue states.

Whether or not they declare economic war on each other Nigeria would be silly not to exploit the situation and play them off against each other until they either self destruct or show respect.

They are not our brothers - they know that but for some reason we fail to grasp this point.

A degree, and accountability.

Without morals?

Interesting,

Somehow I dont think its lack of education that's killing Nigeria?

How about introducing moral and integrity tests along with international criminal checks?

From 2011, president, govs must be graduates *As Senate, Reps amend 1999 Constitution *Differ on cross-carpeting

THE Senate and the House of Representatives, on Thursday, respectively endorsed the Constitution Amendment Report by the (House) Committee on Constitution Review and passed into law, the electoral reform aspect of the constitution amendment bill.

While there were points of convergence in the Thursday resolutions of the two chambers, there were equally points of differences.

As an instance, the two chambers differed on the issue of cross-carpeting. While the House outlawed it, the Senate endorsed it.

The report on constitution amendment presented to the plenary session by the Deputy Speaker, Honourable Usman Nafada, outlawed defection by political office holders, while allowing independent candidacy.

According to the amendments, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly had been granted financial autonomy, as they would now be paid directly from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the federation and states.

The approved report also indicated that to become president, vice-president, governor, deputy governor and member of the National Assembly, candidates must possess a degree from a recognised tertiary institution, just as it also indicated that a member of the National Assembly who had served before could contest, even without being a graduate.

An executive summary of the report, which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune, indicated that sections 65, 106, 131 and 171 of the 1999 Constitution was amended to accommodate independent candidacy.

Also, sections 68, 109, 135 and 180 of the constitution was amended to deal with defection, thus making a defector to automatically lose his seat.

According to the amended sections, where a person elected on the ticket of a political party decided to join another political party without evidence of a merger or factions in his former political party, he would vacate his seat.

The amended portion of the constitution also specified that where a person who was elected as an independent candidate became a member of a political party before the expiration of the period of his tenure of office, he would vacate his seat.

Any political office holder who was expelled by his political party, according to the amendment, would retain his seat only if he refrained from joining another political party when his tenure was still on.

Sections 81 and 121 so amended made provisions for inclusion of INEC, National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly for payment in the consolidated revenue fund of the federation and the states.

According to the proposed amendment, section 65, 131 and 177 had been altered to encourage a certain level of academic qualification among contestants into the office of president, vice-president, governors, deputy governors and member of National Assembly, such that contestants for the offices would need to possess a minimum of tertiary institution level or its equivalent, while obtaining relevant certificates of service as a member of the National Assembly for a complete tenure.

Sections 145 and 190 dealt with the periods of election in which a maximum of 60 days to a minimum of 30 days were required before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of the office to a minimum of 120 days and a maximum of 150 days before the expiration of the term of office of the last holder of that office.

The report also recommended relevant sections of the Nigeria's electoral law to accommodate the alterations and adjustments made in the 1999 Constitution.

Also, on Thursday, the Senate passed the electoral reform aspect of the constitution amendment bill into law, with the approval for a change in the time for holding general election which could see the next election holding between January and March 2011.

The senators had voted in favour of the amendment of all the clauses of the electoral reform bill on Wednesday, but they deferred the passage of the bill for the third and final reading because of the discovery of the omission of Section 109 and errors on other aspects of the bill.

The Senate thus directed that the errors be corrected and the bill represented for final passage on Thursday.

The bill passed by the Senate indicated that general election would hold, not earlier than 150 days before the expiration of the term of office of the office holder and not later than 90 days before the expiration of the tenure.

Another feature of the bill is the approval of the nominees for resident electoral commissioners (RECs) by the Senate, which were, before now, appointed by the president.

The senators, also on Thursday, approved the missing Section 109 of the constitution to pave the way for cross carpeting by members of the Houses of Assembly.

It was also approved that anyone who would seek elective office must be a university graduate or its equivalent, besides that he must be a citizen of Nigeria by birth, attained the age of 40 years and sponsored by a political party of which he is a member.

The amendments also provided time frames for the disposal of election petitions before the swearing in a and general conduct of elections.

Are you not aware that in Nigeria, many Okada drivers have degree's?

This should be seen as a minor requirement.

How about it is written into the constitution that Governors/Presidents/Senator must have morals?

We would be struglling to fill the posts.

Fact!

As Mugabe would say: Turai - Go Hang!

Delete this topic - Sick of Yar,Adua, Turai and that sorry family.

Beer is spelt Beer - Not Bear,

Please correct spelling and grammar before showing off your ignorance.

Thanks in advance,

Families consent = $100,000

The child's family are accomplices and also guilty of a crime - child trafficking and prostitution.

This case is an international matter and should be heard in an international court.

This is a blatant abuse of human rights. A child  has human rights!

He should be arrested and extradited immediately.

Child abuse is a crime under any law.

International Paedophilia and Child Trafficking,

The authorities should step in to rescue the child away from sexual captivity.

Lets start by tackling the bigger problems. (The Northern Ideology - Sharia Law)

And implement solutions that will have an effect as opposed to talk talk talk.(Blow up the place if the refuse to split or drop that sharia bullshit and become one with Nigeria again)

Most parasites 'hate' their hosts but cannot live without them. The host therefore must remove the parasite or face potential death.

When your confronted with a mosquito you generally try to kill it.

Therefore I stand by my post.

He's even refered to as a Paedophile on wikipedia -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Rufai_Sani

If the prophet Mohammed was around today he would be classed as a Paedophile.

He couldn't have got away with such evil acts in this day and age.

No wonder they encourage the wearing of Burkha's - its a form of protection from the paedophiles that make up islamic society.

Thinks this is accurate,

Becomrich - go and build the city (Inside your thick head)

Answers - To Be Taken Seriously Unlike the Post / Postee

1) When you see people getting along and respecting each other (Nigeria needs to split)

2) Change cannot be revolutionary as there are more cowards than brave people in Nigeria. It cannot be evolutionary are there are more backward thinking people than progressive minds.

3) Who needs to change = Northerners; Where needs to change = the North; When - Yesterday.

4) Start with detanating simultaneously a small to medium sized biologiical,chemically and nuclear bomb in the North.

These are 2 dead men - No actual recent and verifiable footage can be found for both of them.

Child rapist,

Paedophile as a Senator,

Unbelievable,

Becommrichh,

That wont be a major obastacle.

Honourary degree's a easily purchased/distributed in Naija.

Becomrich,

How else do you account for or guage illegal wealth generation whilst in office?

If you know what they should be earning and see a discrepancy in what they are spending or depositing oversea's your in a position to ask questions.

I thinks Yar'Adua should be placed on sick pay (-75%) backdated to his 2nd day in office when it became apparent he was possibly lame.

Any overpayment in salary should be claimed by the state along with any interest accrued.

As a gesture of goodwill the state should pick up his medical bills. (Only the diesel to power the life support machine/vehicle during office hours - 9am-5pm from the time he apparently returned from Arabia)

Jonathan may claim overtime pay for the additional wahala he has picked up (maybe 30% more) if and only if he is able to reduce the salaries of incoming ministers by at least 65% and keep his wife's fingers in her pockets rather than the state coffers.

Thinks this is fair and reasonable.
