Amina Zakaria's tenure as commissioner had long expired, Buhari bringing her back is another nepotism. So, when you blindly state that she was appointed by OBJ/GEJ you dishonestly attempt to confuse the issue.

157. (1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (3) of this section, a person holding any of the offices to which this section applies may only be removed from that office by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate praying that he be so removed for inability to discharge the functions of the office (whether arising from infirmity of mind or body or any other cause) or for misconduct.

(2) This section applies to the offices of the Chairman and members of the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Federal Civil Service Commission, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the National Judicial Council, the Federal Judicial Service Commission, the Federal Character Commission, the Nigeria Police Council, the National Population Commission, the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and the Police Service Commission.

PDP (Jonathan) appointed her as INEC Commissioner, and nobody is saying she should be sacked from that position. The issue is that since she has a connection with Buhari, her presence should not be felt in the general elections. Remember Buhari initially made her acting chairman of INEC, and if not that PDP cried out, chances are that she would have been made the substantive head of INEC.
It may seem like PDP is raising unnecessary dust, but that is important to block all possible avenues APC may be considering to effect their planned rigging.
A president that cannot even secure his own state can only win the election through rigging.

Does everything have to be spelt out line by line to you people or it's just trying to dodge the issue. He answered all your questions, you still turned around to ask the same questions in another tongue. Some answers are clearly specific, some have to deduced in between the lines.

Let me restate what he said. For the sake of fairness, every past presidents appoints umpires (inec heads and other sensitive positions) from the opposite region. Gej was trying to prove his broad mindedness.

The bigot-in-chief currently occupying ado rock does not give a hoot. Yet, he appoints Southerners (Keyamo, gutter-mouth Onochie, Ogundaimisi etc) to defends all his acts of impunity, hard-heartedness and utter disregard for the principle of fairness and equity. Yet, they call him mr "integrity" cos of his pretentious frail look and speeches.

UncleJudax:
Like Magu like Amina. BMC and Buhari always make it look like there is shortage of intellectuals in the land.


Get it??

Why not appoint an Adebayo or Okeke, must it be a Zakari or Mohammed in all sensitive positions?

Unlike the Southerners, the North takes with impunity, shove it in your face and dares you. Remarkably, they rely on the Southerners to defend such anomaly with gusto. Talk about having big balls.

Thanks for this highlight.
GEJ appointed her, because GEJ wanted to prove something.
Zakari and the whole BMC have suddenly gone off tangent on this blood relationship nonsense, becaue she wants to change the subject and confuse people.
The issue is whether Zakari has any relationship that would make her an impartial judge of elections involving Buhari? Blood or marriage relationship are the same on this matter.
The impartiality OBJ sought when he appointed Maurice Iwu from SE, and GEJ appointed Jega from NE is what Buhari is lacking.
Buhari is so scared of genuine election that he has to appoint his own family members to man his own election.

UncleJudax:
Thanks to Mr Integrity,,,

EFCC boss, Magi has been in acting capacity for almost 4 years.

Na only Magu fit do the work them say...I suppose he will be there for life.

Useless BMC

Kennydoc:
If you' re to be sincere to yourself, you'll agreed that the composition of INEC under Buhari is faulty.
To start with, Buhari is the first president to appoint INEC Chairman from his geopolitical zone. Ideally, in the spirit of fairness and fairplay knowing that he would go for 2nd tenure, he should have an INEC Chairman from either the NC or any of the southern geopolitical zones. He appointed a chairman from NW. As if that is not enough, INEC now appointed another NWer as Head of Collation Centre, and not just any NWer but someone that is claimed to have some ties with the president. Is it fair? Are there no other INEC commissioners from the NC or South that could be appointed? I deliberately didn't mention NE cos the relationship between NE and NW is like SE and SS. Imagine if Jonathan appointed an Igbo man as his INEC Chairman, how would the North have reacted?

shachris02:
Stop sounding so stupid. IF they are not legally divorced, then the marriage is still intact whether they are aware of this or not.

Provide their divorce certificate or shut your zombie mouth.

shachris02:
stop sounding naive. Buhari is appointing his family member to be the referee in a contest he's part of and you are asking if it is against the law?

I doubt this would have been your stance had it been Jonathan appointed his family member in same position.

In 2011, Zakari was appointed as one of the National Electoral Commissioners at INEC by former President Goodluck Jonathan.[12] Her mandate at INEC includes her political parties’ supervision via the Political Parties Monitoring Committee. Zakari also chaired the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC)[13] with responsibility for party system consolidation. Until her appointment as Acting Chairman, Zakari was chairman of the INEC Planning Monitoring and Strategy Committee effective November 2014.

Then give them N30k and force the governors to pay.. Since he can't mediate between the two parties.

Peter Obi will dialogue and get a price suitable for NLC and the state governments.. That is why he smartly didn't quote any figure.

dunkem21:
It is not the same thing. Obi said that they will sit with labour to discuss issues and get a benchmark .. Then states can pay what they can following the benchmark .

PMB should learn from Obi.

Buy made in Nigeria mantra is killing the country.

Countries like individuals do well when they focus energy on the things they do well and not on the things they suck at

China industrialization was anchored export and that's the way to go. That's the way Japan South Korea Taiwan followed. They had an export or perish philosophy

Protectionism encourages companies to be noncompetitive and that is one reason the country's manufacturers are terrified of imports even from fellow ECOWAS countries.

Most importantly there are a million and one goods the country can produce competitively and therefore should stop pouring money into the things that the country lacks comparative advantage in.

Also speaking on cars, Pat Utomi who worked for a car assembly plant in the 1980's said it will be best that the country focuses on niches in the car industry rather than the whole

For instance, imagine that Nigeria accounted for 10% of global tyre production or 10% of brake pad production That will be far more beneficial rather than producing cars where the captive market is too small to manufacture cars competitively

hargbolahan01:
but your god father preaches to buy Nigerian product everyday is innoson not a car? if the German govt didn't buy Benz car when they were manufacturing three wheels car will they grow like they do today that our president drives that car?
you should think next time before you protect your lifeless god father

lightblazingnow:
Did you ask your mind if you actually possess the right senses for the statement to make sense to you. Because there are different types of level of senses, yours could have fallen to animal instincts.


Indeed to be a Fool is a curse. Weeping for you folks

hargbolahan01:
what about Buhari that use our money to hire foreigner contractor and he will still tell us to believe in Nigeria product when he drives Benz as official car ?

adelacuna:
what is the nexus in what you wrote Murray Bruce published his book in US with his personal money am sure you will agree with me that he didn't publish it with our national budget so he can publish it anywhere he likes on the other hand the jersey is our thing Nigerians have the right to determine where and who produce the jersey.

"I bought made in Nigeria @innosonvehicles and made in Aba clothes because I believe in Nigeria. That’s why I started #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira campaign. We can’t grow our economy from abroad. We can only grow if we patronise our own goods. @NGSuperEagles could’ve been made in Aba."

DonFreshmoney:
Gerrarahia zombies.

In 2015, APC appointed Obama aides as campaign managers to boost buhari image internationally, nobody complained. Anything Atiku does is a source of worry for zombies.

Won the pdp primaries- complain
Went to strategize in dubai- complain
Appointed saraki DG of campaign- complain
Appointed Peter obi as VP candidate- complain
Appointed Dino melaye as spokesperson- complain
Said he will sell NNPC and refineries to boost productivity- complain
Applied for US visa - complain
Told EFCC to arrest him If he's corrupt- complain

Smh to zombies.

FearGodinall:
For 16 years Nigeria’s budget was less than 4 trillion while crude sold at close to n over $100. Last year Buhari’s budget was 9 trillion while crude sold below $40. What does this tell you ? Honestly,most Buharist are programmed robot that can not reason independently.When we say Buhari reck the economy,they ask how. Now read what wrote

PhenomenalMorgan:
true talk but this is a campaign his decision to choose a foreigner is justified, he needs the best hands for that position, and maybe he thought a foreigner is okay

aonag:
lol. dont say this again.... intl news reporters dont have men on ground? they wont even publish it if it were not true or they would say unconfirmed reports

alBHAGDADI:
Jesus didn't come to this world to make you greedy and stop honoring God with your firstfruits and substance. You haven't honored that Jesus with your substance yet you foolishly think he will listen to you when you call upon his name as a disobedient child.

Okay, go about fornicating and sleeping with prostitutes without condom. When you get infected with a deadly disease, call you Jesus to heal you.

alBHAGDADI:
He said if you pay your tithe, he will rebuke the devourer for you. The devourer is that thing that makes you lose money. It can be anything. If you failed to pay, the devourer comes in.

alBHAGDADI:
You say pastors should go and earn a living by working just as others do. Who will now tend to the house of God? If a pastor gets a 9 to 5 job, things won't go smoothly in the house of God. Imagine he lives in Ogba and works in lekki, it means he will miss mid-week services due to traffic or his boss delaying him. What you are saying now is that pastors who work don't full-time are lazy and thieves. That means Peter and the other apostles of Jesus Christ who were full-time bishops in the house of God were thieves as well. It was only Paul and Barnabas that worked. It was easy for them because they didn't pastor any church but were evangelists. They also had no wife nor kids to cater for. Even Paul said those who preach the gospel can live of the Gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:1-14
1 Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
4 Have we not power to eat and to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.


God uses firstfruits to cater for the pastor who feeds you all with spiritual milk. Out of your greediness, you want the pastor to starve or perhaps the Gospel to shrink with no one to propagate it.

Here is your Education of the day: show me ONE verse that portrayed Abraham, King Solomon as sinner because of their concubines/mistresses OR any verse that does the same for King David (unrelated to BathSheba).

Pope Francis has reminded Christians that their messiah was born in poverty and said they should focus on love and charity instead of "consumerism." The event in St. Peter's Basilica was attended by 10,000 people.
Pope Francis used the Christmas Eve Mass to condemn the pursuit of riches on Monday, and urged Christians to consider Jesus' humble birth story. According to the New Testament, Christ was born in a Bethlehem stable and was then placed in a manger.

Wisdom should be the only yardstick for decision making and governance.

Wisdom cannot be attained without Knowledge

Some members are ignorant and cannot possibly make a decision better than the enlightened ones.

So therefore one man one vote is a flawed Electoral Concept.
