theoctopus1: Your partisan bias is too glaring. You obviously didn't notice how Amaechi has been dragging every organization into his naked dance. From teachers to civil society. Spending Rivers state tax payers money. Now that NANS have rejected his move, you castigate them. Such hypocrisy.Guy, why you dey police me up and down? What is the lie in my post? Is it that NANS isn't a pay-for-hire group? Your reasoning does not meet the basic standard of fairness and soundness. You accuse me of 'partisan bias' yet I have neither seen nor read a post of yours where you have equally castigated his(Amaechi) antagonists. Abi na ony Amaechi be the problem? Wike, Dame Jonathan and Mbu are saints to you! |
When did NANS become a noble organization? Hasn't NANS polarized the students it claim to represent? NANS is always ready to offer her services to the highest bidder. NANS has pitched its tent with the President while the comrade from Benue State or a faction is in the camp of Amaechi. |
I am sure street sweepers in most states don't earn up to that. Even the glamorized SURE-P pay street sweepers and traffic managers just N10,000. |
theoctopus1: The link confirms nothing. Just like the information Sylva was passing out. It is just his own men trying to cover up the situation. Like I said, I havent concluded he has absconded, but certain facts are clear...Are you expecting the Supreme Court to 'review' its judgment? It was the Supreme Court who ruled that it was the PDP that contested and won the guber election of 2007. Swearing-in Amaechi in October 2007 still does not change the fact that the actual swearing-in day was May29, after all, Omehia who governed from May 29 till October was PDP. Secondly, the Supreme Court bench will not want to inflame the polity and bring themselves into odium, considering the tense political atmosphere. Judgment based on Political expediency. Any judgment against Amaechi will be seen as the hands of Esau and voice of Jacob. The Presidency also won't go unscathed! "Interestingly, for legal scholars, the Supreme Court ruling on the matter in October would be nothing other than an academic exercise, just like it did in the case of Ekiti State governorship crisis between Kayode Fayemi and Segun Oni. But for what they described as technical mischief which is being latched on to by opposition to Amaechi, the case, legal scholars contended is as comprehensible for the layman as it is for the legal luminaries and that as such, no amount of anxiety or antics built up to the October 3 ruling would change the legal literature that naturally would determine the court ruling."http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/amaechi-vs-omehia-waiting-for-the-supreme-court/150817/ |
Sincere 9gerian: Nigeria remains an orphan. While the politicians are damaging the country through looting and bad governance, the media is wrecking the nation with their reports and articles.Its obvious all you want is a lame, toothless media who abhor investigative journalism, play the ostrich, maintain a conspiracy of silence on critical issues and encourage a culture of concordance. Brown-envelope journalists. Why is the media referred to as the Fourth Estate or the 4th Branch of Government? |
theoctopus1: Look, I am just pointing to you that your argument is lame. You could put up other arguments, but this route you took is lame. If truly he is absconding, then he will certainly not hand over to any one just like Sylva did 2 days before he got kicked out. He proceeded on leave without telling anyone and kept talking from an unknown destination. I havent concluded that Amaechi has asconded, but I do have confirmation that he has proceeded on vacation and yes, it is very abnormal for him to proceed on any sort of vacation at this time because his house is on fire. It certainly doesnt make any sense. But I will not categorically say he has absconded until we get some confirmation on that.The question is, why should Amaechi abscond? I am sure you do not know the basis why the suit was filed before the Supreme Court. The link to @eGuerilla's post has confirmed that he is out of the country on official duties. |
theoctopus1: Have you been living on the moon? Where have you been when several other govs proceeded on vacation without any announcement or information? You now truly see everything through partisan glasses.Na only partisan glasses, you go see partisan binoculars. Kindly name the Governors who proceeded on leave without any information? Chime, we were told handed over to his deputy. Suntai had a fatal accident and there was no way he could hand over, moreover, these two went on medical leave. |
theoctopus1: This is not beer parlour gossip bro. Open your eyes. Maybe the journalist got it wrong on who should take over, but Amaechi has truly proceeded on vacation according to news coming from PH, not just this journalist.According to news coming from the beer parlour in your neighborhood. Is the news official? There is no way the governor and his deputy will proceed on leave without formally handing over to the next in line, and such information will be made known to the public. The Governor may have traveled out of the country either for personal reasons or to attend an official engagement but the story of 'leave of 3months' is false. |
Yay! Yay! |
Sick of awful garbage journalism. Anyone with half a brain would know that the journalist who wrote this manufactured hogwash is not knowledgeable. If the Governor and Deputy Governor decides to proceed on leave and the state house of assembly isn't sitting, the next in line to take over the administration of the State should be the Chief Judge of the State and not the SSG. Why should Amaechi run into hiding when he was the one who filed the appeal before the supreme court seeking to quash a Court of Appeal ruling which gave Omehia of APGA in the 2011 election, 'the right to challenge a judgment' of the Federal High Court which declared that Amaechi's tenure ended on 29th May 2011. If the Supreme Court rules against Amaechi, the case will most likely be returned to the Court of Appeal than removing him as governor. It was the Supreme Court who ruled that it was the party that contested the 2007 guber election. And the party was sworn-in on May 29 through Omehia. I do not see the Supreme Court reviewing its judgment considering the very tense political atmosphere. #Beer parlour Journalism. |
I think @HNosegbe should be considered. |
Atouke: Did he or did he not win the election? Iroko is a power house in SW/Ondo politics sentiments aside u must respect the man.He withstood the biggest political godfather in SW thifnubu, thats huge.He wrestled Tinubu and won, Good for him but his influence is limited to his State. For him to be a major influence in SW politics, he will have to plunder all the resources of his State to expand his frontier. |
Atouke: isnt that what you said prior to the last election before he won land slide? As far as ondo is concerned iroko is the man.An incumbent who could not pull up to 50%, in fact, he had just 44% of the total vote casted, even with all his so-called achievements. Ask Fashola to define 'landslide victory' for you! That is when you score 75-85% of the total vote. |
taharqa: How Considerable is 'considerable'. Cos if he gets anytin approaching 40% from d SW, then it is game over. EASILY.. And this direction is where I think his Strategists are thinking towardsI believe he should get something close to that. He is winning the 2015 presidential election, no doubt about that. |
Desola: Considerable? How? From who? From where?From his people of course. |
Will GEJ get considerable votes from the SW? Yes. Will PDP and her other affiliates capture the SW? Maybe when hell freezes over. |
Sincere 9gerian: Those misguided 5 majors rose to save the country in reaction to the NOISE (operation wetie, et al) from elements in the southwest. Because the coup/revolution was not successful, history has been turned on its head and the first military coup now termed "Igbo coup".@Bigoted 9gerian |
jmaine: Amaechi has to inform the police of such a large gathering even for his own safety . And that alone constitutes a potential risk with the volatile nature of the state.Is not informing the police a justifiable reason and excuse to tear gas and disperse the crowd? Informing the police is not the same as Permit. I particularly took you on for supporting Mbu's claim that citizens' or state government must obtain permit before gathering. There wouldn't have been a need to inform the police if the police had any regard for the Governor because they will be working hand in hand. Thankfully, you have admitted that the court pronouncement trumps your argument in favor of Mbu's shenanigans. |
jmaine: Indeed ignorance is not bliss . . .Your post only validates my point, and that is, the ultimate powers for the issuance of permit reside with the Governor of a State. Nothing in the Act suggests that the Police is expressly given the powers to issue a permit without the Governor's consent, in fact, the Police cannot approve the application for a permit on its own. I am sure you took cognizance of; *The Governor 'MAY' authorize( s 3) *The Governor 'MAY' delegate his powers (s 4) *The decision of The Governor under subsection 5 shall be final (s 6) @Jmaine, have you ever heard of or seen a state government apply for license/permit for a rally, meeting or procession in a place of public resort in the State? The 13,000 newly employed teachers were present there by invitation and under the auspices of the State Government whose primary responsibility is to secure lives and properties, and therefore there was no need for a permit/license. It is like asking the President to seek for permit from the IGP or FGN from the NPF! |
smh!!! |
hardywaltz: I wonder where people got the idea that holding a protest is illegal or that you need police permit to convergeAre you referring to the handmaidens of this administration? |
jmaine: Please keep your irrelevant subjective views to yourself.Ignorance isn't bliss my bruv! On a proper perusal of the provisions of the Public Order Act, particularly section 1, subsections 1-6 and sections 2-4, the Governor is given the powers to issue permit. Application for permit is to be forwarded to the Governor within 48 hours of holding such. The Governor "MAY" delegate his powers under the Act to the Commissioner of Police of the state or any superior police officer of a rank not below that of a Chief Superintendent of Police as applicable. |
"The Police Commissioner declared that he would always abort gatherings without police permit." Free-Dumb and disregard for the Rule of Law and Demo-Crazy in Nigeria! There is a Court of Appeal Judgment which ruled against requirement and obtainment of police permit before holding rallies and peaceful assemblies. Under the Public Order Act, the Governor is given the powers to issue permit and can delegate the powers to the Commissioner of Police and not the other way round. I am less concerned about, if those 'newly employed teachers' were hired youths or not. Democracy admits of dissent, protest, marches, rallies and demonstrations, this requirement of obtaining a police permit is the brainchild of colonial and military era and should not remain in our statute books. Mbu, an unelected public worker running a parallel government and usurping a democratically elected governor. |
[quote author=i_laugh]These Nigerian Americans should just leave Nigeria alone and face their America, all they know is abuse. They dont vote and their votes dont count in Nigeria, so, they can only shout and talk on the internet. Who listens to them?[/quote]Who listens to you as well? Nothing stops a Nigerian wherever he might be on the face of earth from lending his or her voice to the National discourse. |
My 3 fav posters, @eGuerilla or Maximilliano or Taharqa! With any of them on the job, insurance cover me ![]() |
@Op, You just advertised the mediocrity in you and all your noise about good governance are nothing but mere interest propelled falsetto meant to advance your manipulative agenda. You failed to acknowledge that Aba Township Stadium has been well-managed right from the administration of Orji Kalu. I am sure a well maintained football pitch is one of the least concerns of Abians. Kindly state some major developmental strides embarked upon and completed by Theodore Orji as you would do on a Jonathan thread. |
For those asking for the video, BH is a proscribed group so don't expect conventional media houses or press corp to help circulate the video. Section 5(1) of the Proscription Order prescribe a term of imprisonment of not less than 20 years "for any person, who knowingly, in any manner, directly or indirectly, Solicits or Renders support for the commission of an act of terrorism or to a terrorist group." |
It isn't the responsibility of law makers to execute capital projects. Secondly, it is the executive arm of government that executes constituency projects on behalf of the lawmakers. If we are unable to sight any constituency project, it is because the lawmakers in cahoot with the executive divert funds allocated for those projects into private purse. |
safepassage2015: ironically u r the one that is disconnected from present security successes on bh. Pls update ur statsProbably one of the statistics she was advised to update is the recent killing of 161 Nigerians, including security operatives and harmless villagers! How disconnected will you be if you have a relative among those 161 Nigerians whose lives were cut short? * I can see Muinat Shagaya behind President Jonathan. Is she among the '30 officials' in the President's entourage? Because I know she is not a government official but a businesswoman and close friend of Dame Patience Jonathan. # Over to you Abati. |
Sincere 9gerian: It seems children of anger and worshippers at Tinubu's temple are having a field day on this thread. It is expected. The fools are excited over 8 or so points achievement of Obama they highlighted but I can also list over 30 achievements of our president.Cry baby, just admit that you've been owned. No need for emotional outbursts and tantrums. |
eGuerrilla: Mr President obviously recognises the importance of SaharaReporters to the media world, even if poorly educated sycophants who are legion on these boards do not. ![]() |
yunglykmine: Mr. President,I like this part, especially the attitude and the language employed to emphasize this 'bitter truth'. Many servile leaders who a$slick the Superpowers would not attempt to touch on the subject. Thoroughly impressed! #Jonaballs |
