E no dey easy now.

RillJ:
Be content bro, Oduduwa originated from the nearby Edo, not Mecca n certainly not from the sky. The Yoruba however find this tough to accept for obvious reasons.

Yet to prove same.

I'm a yoruba man but the story of Oduduwa being the progenitor of the Yoruba race is tainted with fallacies.

The Biblical account of origin of different languages appears more credible than the so called trekking from Middle- East as well as that of being dropped by chain from heaven


Unfortunately, it appears we cannot trace our origin and let's accept it as the truth.

Anyway, I stand to be corrected if you are armed with indisputable fact.

Ok

No comment!
Meanwhile, ain't they better than baba Kasabubu, whose status of O'level result is yet to be ascertained .

What's the difference between Orji Uzor Kalu in PDP and the one fratertanising with APC now?


Unstable politician, nothing but one that is selfish and untrustworthy. One who's incapable of being a worthy leader.

Ok

"Balance Of Terror ".........
Well, when a government fails in its responsibilities of protecting and securing the defenceless.....what do you expect?
When a government gives reasons for its failure to protect lives and property of the commoners.....what do you expect?
When you have a government who should rather address the menace of fulani herdsmen, and wanton killings of farmers and the innocent locals in their communities, labeled the aggressors "unknown invaders from Libya "......what do you expect?
When animals are pushed to the wall....you shld definitely expect a RESISTANCE!
Nothing else but an Armed Resistance .

YourNemesis:
Karu isn't Abuja bros.

Don't come here and express your ignorance.
There are two karu communities, the one in abuja shld be a few kilometers away from Aso rock, while the other one is at the outskirts of Nasarawa.

Professor Akintunde Akinwande a man who doesn't want to taint his reputation with Incompetence........ Buhari never listens to his Advisers unless from his Uncle Mamman Daura or Babachir Lawal


Sir, surely your services will be needed in 2019 under a good Democratic Leader.




#Atiku2019

Wanted to LIKE your comment until I saw this "#Atiku...

PDP=APC (clad in another color of flag and slogan)

In Fela's voice...#same old politicians.....

Good .

Sir,let this be extended to some friends of the Party who are being fingered in corruption related matters as well.

Thanks and God bless you.

You claimed to have served your people as an achieving Governor, yet you are running away from rendering stewardship of years spent in that office.

As a self acclaimed anti-graft crusader, the President is expected to compel any of his aide allegedly fingered in any corruption case to attend to them , and not giving them protection against probe.
This will convince the whole world that, he is really serious about the fight against the menace ,as well restored the hope of commoners in his government .

Thank God.

Ok now

Their friendship don end sharp sharp.

Thought, they both connived together to frustrate the arrest of a Judge by the DSS few weeks ago.

I hope that there would be a third option.

Looks beastly.

Ok

Na so boko haram take start . By the time this Shiites start their own revenge, BH will be a child's play.

And I hope by then they know where and who to face.

Cool.

Dem forr kuku draw map of nigeria fr d boy's cheeks now.

You are prophesying what will happen to you in the future.
You cannot run away from your destiny.

Yinmu


I'm yet to be convinced .

Reminds me of our childhood's thief and the police game.

Visual recordings on firing line from both sides ?

“It gives undue military advantage to Christians thereby endangering the lives and properties of Muslims nationwide. We frown upon recruitment exercises which fail to recognize the diversity of the Nigerian people."

You can imagine what this man wld be capable of, if he were to be the President.

I think he should be arrested and prosecuted for making reckless statements capable of triggering violence between the Christians and Muslims .

Evil spirit in Aso rock @ work.

They are bent on destroying the party ahead of 2019 poll.

The National Judicial Council, NJC, has described as “unacceptable”, call by the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, for judges currently under investigation over allegations of corruption, to step down until their innocence is fully and completely established. In a statement Friday night, the NJC which is headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, said it would neither suspend nor ask any of the accused Judges to proceed on compulsory leave as recommended by the NBA, insisting that such action would contrary to the provisions of Section 158 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. It said: “The National Judicial Council is not unaware of the judgment of the Court of public opinion on the recent events between the Department of State Services (“DSS”) and the Judiciary; and the various views expressed by Legal Practitioners, Academics, Politicians and the general public, particularly the current position of the President of the Nigerian Bar Association to wit:- “We therefore strongly recommend that, without prejudice to the innocence or otherwise of the Judges involved in the ongoing investigations, they should recuse themselves from further judicial functions or required to proceed on compulsory leave until their innocence is fully and completely established or until the conclusion of all judicial or disciplinary proceedings”. “NJC is constrained to inform the general public that its Constitutional mandate is to process and recommend to the Executive at the Federal and State levels, the appointment, and or the removal of Judicial Officers from office, including exercise of its disciplinary control of suspending and or warning Judicial Officers; after complying with due process and the Rule of Law. “Since the creation of NJC vide the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, it has exercised its powers and performed its functions within its Constitutional limitations. “Thus, the current position of the Nigerian Bar Association vis-à-vis its recommendation that the affected Judicial Officers involved in the on-going investigation of Judicial Officers by the DSS, be requested to proceed on compulsory leave until the conclusion of all disciplinary proceedings against them, is unacceptable to the NJC; as it breaches the 2014 Revised Judicial Discipline Regulations formulated by NJC pursuant to Section 160 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. “It is to be reiterated also that by the provisions of Section 158 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, NJC shall not be subject to the direction or control of any other authority or person while exercising its disciplinary power of control over Judicial Officers in the Federation. “The Members of the public are hereby informed that the mechanism that will determine a Judicial Officer to be directed or requested to proceed on compulsory leave or be suspended from office, is a disciplinary power that NJC can only exercise after initiating disciplinary proceeding on the complaint or petition forwarded against the Judge, after he has been found culpable. Therefore, to act on the recommendation of the NBA, it is not only contrary to the provisions of Section 158 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, but it means NJC will direct any Judicial Officer that has been petitioned even if the allegations contained therein are frivolous and baseless, to proceed on compulsory leave or be suspended from office without complying with the Rule of Law. “That is not the understanding of NJC of the intention of the framers of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended vis-à-vis its Constitutional powers and functions on initiation of disciplinary proceedings culminating in suspension of Judicial Officers. Thus, to act on the request of the Departments of Government and the recommendation of the NBA, the 808 Judicial Officers that had been petitioned and accused of professional misconduct and or corrupt practices, without investigation by NJC, would have all been suspended or sent on compulsory leave and the Courts would have been deserted. “NJC is not unmindful of the concern of the public on a situation whereby a Judicial Officer is being investigated and or prosecuted for commission of a criminal offence such as Murder or Robbery; and whether he is not supposed to be requested or directed to proceed on compulsory leave or be suspended from office. In the circumstance, unless the Subject Judge accused of commission of the offence of Murder or Robbery is petitioned to NJC, it shall not assume the disciplinary power of control over Judicial Officers to suspend or direct the Subject Judge to proceed on compulsory leave. “Thus, NJC can only direct any Judge alleged of committing such criminal offences, to go on compulsory leave or be suspended from office if he has been investigated and found by NJC culpable of misconduct. “The participation of NBA Members in the Emergency Meeting of NJC was necessitated by the unfolding events between the DSS and the Judiciary, bordering on administration of Justice. “Suffice it to say that the decision of NJC in respect of the recent events and the current state of the Judiciary, particularly in condemning the invasion and arrest of the Judicial Officers by the DSS and considers it as a threat to Independence of the Judiciary, which portends great danger to our democracy; and a clear attempt by the DSS to humiliate, intimidate, denigrate and cow the Judiciary, was unanimously taken by the Members of the Council present, including the President and other Members of the Nigerian Bar Association at its last Emergency Meeting which was held on 11th October, 2016”, read t statement signed by Acting Director of Information at the NJC, Mr. Soji Oye. It will be recalled that the NBA had on Thursday, said it was necessary that the judges stepped down in order not to only protect the sanctity and integrity of judicial processes that may involve the judges concerned, but to also safeguard the public image of the judiciary as an institution.

Junk report from junkie blogger.

Ok

Beautiful!

If security agencies,which are under the EXECUTIVE could summon and investigate some leaders of the LEGISLATURE without a recourse to the leadership of the National Assembly, and no trails of public outcry. Are we saying a different law applies to the JUDICIARY?


To me, I felt that each arm of Government should respect one another and discharge their responsibilities within the ambit of law.


Its when the executive checkmate both the legislature and judiciary ; judiciary do same to executive and the legislature ; legislature to executive and the judiciary, by then we can say that there is balance of power.
