Politics › Re: NANS To Amaechi: Your Plan To Polarize Students Union Has Failed by takedat(m): 8:50am On Sep 28, 2013
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!
Politics › Re: NANS To Amaechi: Your Plan To Polarize Students Union Has Failed by takedat(m):
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.
Politics › Re: Amaechi Proceeds On Leave? SSG May Take Over Power. by takedat(m): 12:20am On Sep 28, 2013
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...

1. He has gone on vacation and it defintely doesnt make sense for him to do so at a time like this.

2. There is a court ruling coming on the 3rd which could throw him out of government house. We can only wait to see how that goes.

3. Amaechi himself knows the implication if that court ruling kicks him out of the government house. If it doesnt, then he is safe. But if it does, he is in real soup as he will be completely on his own
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/
Politics › Re: Nigerian Government Attacks PREMIUM TIMES, Saharareporter on Reports On Security by takedat(m):
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?
Politics › Re: Amaechi Proceeds On Leave? SSG May Take Over Power. by takedat(m): 11:25pm On Sep 27, 2013
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.
Politics › Re: Amaechi Proceeds On Leave? SSG May Take Over Power. by takedat(m):
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. grin
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.
Politics › Re: Amaechi Proceeds On Leave? SSG May Take Over Power. by takedat(m):
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.

Politics › Re: Amaechi Proceeds On Leave? SSG May Take Over Power. by takedat(m):
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.

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 towards
I believe he should get something close to that. He is winning the 2015 presidential election, no doubt about that.

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".

Can anyone tell the DIFFERENCE between the NOISE of those days and the NOISE of today from elements (Tinubu rats) from the SAME region? When they get tired of making NOISE, they'll shut their dirty buccal cavities. Yeye dey smell!

Politics › Re: Rivers Teachers Are Miscreants - CP Mbu by takedat(m):
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.


Again, only the submission of Poster Hardywaltz is rock solid and irrefutable cos the court has spoken regarding the necessity of permit issuance before a public gathering . . .
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.
Politics › Re: Rivers Teachers Are Miscreants - CP Mbu by takedat(m):
jmaine: Indeed ignorance is not bliss . . .


The governor powers to offer permits is closely tied to the active involvement of any senior police officer.He wasn't given an absolute right to abrogate all powers to himself.







lets get further.



The act now went further to specify the ranking of the superior officer empowered to carry out the governor order in a written permit specifying the names of those involved and under whose condition the meeting is to be held












The police is even empowered to stop any gathering found to deviate from the conditions set in the permit.



In this instance, the gathering of the 13,000 people had no form of permit whatsoever.






The only valuable counter i can comfortably submit too is the young man submission above your quoted post. . . .Cheers. . . . .
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!

Youths of this generation are just too too foolish, due to their lack of knowledge once anybody makes a beer parlour statement, they all recite it like hymn.
Are you referring to the handmaidens of this administration?
Politics › Re: Rivers Teachers Are Miscreants - CP Mbu by takedat(m):
jmaine: Please keep your irrelevant subjective views to yourself.

I consider it more shame that people who feel they are objective moral Caesars don't see the aberrant antics of Gov Amaechi in inviting such a gathering without notifying the commissioner of Police.


Okay let even assume he decided to ignore the police due to their recent skirmishes. What happened to the Legal option of delivering the letter via the local education governing boards or better still patronising our much improved NIPOST.

You lots are just in the huge business of siding those perceived to be enemies of the Govt of the day . . . .

How far will you people go in siding mischief makers up to no good simply they antagonize your current object of hate . . . . .
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.
Politics › Re: Rivers Teachers Are Miscreants - CP Mbu by takedat(m):
"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.

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.

31. I believe that I express the concern of many about the slow pace of effort and apparent lack of progress in the reform of the United Nations, especially the Security Council.  We believe strongly, that the call for democratization worldwide should not be for States only, but also, for International Organizations such as the UN.  That is why we call for the democratization of the Security Council.
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!
