Do u even know what"impunity" means before using the word?
What impunity is greater than locking an entire judiciary arm of state down for more than a year?
Bro play APC politics with ur brain not ur Asshole as u have shown Nlanders

But, why do you have selective anmesia? Do you not remember the greatest impunity of all - 5 being greater than 24? Amaechi locked down the Judiciary because the 5 (greater than 25) with oders from mama peace are intent on impeaching the governor, but they cannot do it without imposing their own Chief Judge on Rivers. The NJC wanted to take the role of Appointing the chief Judge instead of recommending and allowing the Governor to choose (with approval from the state assembly)

It is called public interest litigation. Thumbs up to Ebun.

In the eye of the law, it need not be significant before you can sue. He's only saying he can ask the court for a declaration that GMB cannot decree Nigerians to stop calling him a general when in fact he has been (and still) obtains benefit from such capacity that christened him General. It is a very common practice in other democracies.

GMB never "decreed" Nigerians from calling him a general, as it as no legal status. He only adviced that he prefered that the title be dropped. You can call him whatever you like, he might just not respond to you if you call him General.

barcanista:
what is happening in this Rivers case is a special one. The Attorney General did not import any judge to serve as CJ in Rivers state, he only exercised the power as conferred on him by Section 185(2). For the record, the said Section did NOT specify that the Governor or an Administrator should be the only person to make the appointment in case like this. It never forbids the FG from exercising such powers, neither did it specify that only members of the State Judiciary should be appointed for such purpose.

The FG is ABSOLUTELY on track for two reasons...
1. Section 185(2) did not specify that only state governor or any arm of the state government should exercise such power. In fact, it was ambigious as to the appointing authority.

2. The issue of "Doctrine of Necessity" has come in. Let me remind you that in 2010, an outgoing CJN swore in his successor which was against the law. But he had to do that because the then President Yaradua was in comatose and the VP was yet to be empowered as AgPresident. The decision of the outgoing CJN stood.
Same 2010, the NASS went out of their way to empower then VP Goodluck Jonathan to function as AgPresident without transmission of letter from the incumbent President Yaradua as specified in the constitution. The decision of NASS stood and GEJ appointed agPresident. (That section was later amended)

The point is you can't leave room for a vacuum. That will cause constitutional crises.

One thing you fail to memtion was, the legality of both actions were never tested in court. What would have happened if someone dragged the NASS to court for appointing Vice President Goodluck as Acting President without a transmission letter from the president?

Also in this case what would happen if a River's citizen sues the FG and Wike to court for swearing in of the Governor by aliens to the state? Lets just hope someone does not sue in this case also.

I have always loved Ebun but this suit is as stupid as it is frivolous. You can not legally define what a person wants to call himself. If Ebun wants to be known as Barrister Ebun-Olu Adegoruwa or simply as Ebun, that is his cup of coffee. Gani Fawehinmi loved to be called simply Gani and not Barrister Gani Fawehinmi and there was nothing illegal about it. The fact that Buhari wants to be simply called Mohammadu Buhari does not remove the fact that he is a retired General from his CV. He remains a retired General to death. So Ebun should look for other ways to get noticed.

Ebun should be suing General Tompolo for answering the title of a general without being a soldier.

alexlee50:
This writer is a fool and thinks he can mislead people. Yes nigeria is made up of over 250 tribes, with each tribe being a distinct entity of its own.Before the British created southern nigeria, which treaty was signed that the urhobos,yorubas, igbos, ijaw, itsekiri and other southern miniorities wanted to stay as southern Nigeria? Now southern and northern nigeria were amalgamated as one in 1914.if after staying together for years, a section of the country, feels that they are not comfortable within the federation and want to leave, what is the problem? Must we stay together? You cannot legislate love? Point 2, I cannot be a good nigerian, without first being a good yoruba, igbo, hausa man.in essence the tribes were not consulted before merging them together, the amalgamation of Nigeria was for British convenience.Since independence we have not been able to achieve equity, justice in the cointry.if it cannot work, to your tent all nigerians

So what do you suggest? That we should break up into over 250 countries?

If you almagamate more that 2 tribes together and each tribe attempting to dominate and cheat others, you will still be left with the "Nigerian situation"

Let me tell you, every Supervisory Agncy have right to investigate those under them. In fact, the Kangaroo judge never said FRC lack the power to investigate. Even Sanusi responded to FRC's petition before his indictment. Investigation/probe and Prosecution are Two different things.

After investigation comes prosecution. Only the EFCC,ICPC and Police are empowere for that but Emir "thief" Sanusi had to stop this.

Supervisory agencies has the powers to investigate bridge of ethics and professional misconduct but they do not have the powers to investigate criminal offences. That was why when FRCN over reached its powers by embarking on criminal investigations, Sanusi and all other board members of CBN declined FRCN invitations. Even the case against Cicilia Ibru was investigated and prosecuted by EFCC. It was not CBN that was surmoning people and interogating them.

If the federal government was convinced that the Judgement against it harrassing Sanusi was a Kangaroo Judgement, why did they not appeal the judgement at the appellate court.

Please read the judgement and not just act on hearsay

Sweetguy25:
Buhari, remember 2011. Over 800 people died in your name. You should let sleeping dogs lie.

is this how low your regard for human live is? human beings were killed in cold blood and you are talking about sleeping dogs. if you have any info about the killing of 800 people in buhari's name, take it to the police or the human rights commission.
To insinuate that one crime must not be investigated and prosecuted because another similar crime was not investigated is asking for a state of anarchy. you should ask president jonathan why the over 800 killings in buhari's name was not investigated and the culprits prosecuted.

I totally agree with area fada. WE WANT THE BEST TECHNOCRATS ON THE JOB from any geo political zone as long as performance is A+.. and we must join hands and support GMB.


as we expect change we must also begin to change ourselves from within to be better.

I disagree with area father on this one. Social societies are extremely complex and governing human societies require much more than the nebulous word "technocrat". The most important leadership qualities to me are sincerity of purpose, vision, ability to control men and rescources to achieve desired vision and support and love of the general citizenry. We have had tecnocrats that have failed woefully in Nigeria. We have had a world bank trained technocrat as finance minister and our economic indices are only improving on paper, we have alway had SANs as attorney generals, look at the state of our judiciary, same with other ministries like health, etc.

I am not saying technocrats are not important, but what is more important is integrity, vision, ideas and competence of the said technocrat.

Then on the issue of zoning. You cannot wish away zoning from any human society, especially one that is multi racial, ethnic, religious or any other social distinction. Even zoning along sexual line is recognized the world over. What is bad is elevating zoning over competence. I doubt you could not find competent people among all social divides.

The same charly boy saying Zoning should not be considered would be same person crying foul if someone from his tribe is not appointed into position of authority in the incoming administration.

psucc:
No sir!!!! Rivers State cannot be treated in isolation. Where The CR fails, manual accreditation suffice. Or else we would have to start from the Presidential election where child-voters were reported.

APC should also accept their defeat where one exist and not grabbing, grabbing, grabbing and always grabbing.

Are you people not tired of parroting child-voters any time election fraud is mentions as it relates to river's state? Provide concrete proof that majority of the votes in the north was done by child voters and take such proof to the tribunal, and then let the tribunal do its job.

Also if APC has concrete evidence that the number of recorded voters is more than the accredited voters, then they are also free to present such evidence at the tribunals.

But to insinuate that because PDP suspect child voting in the north, so APC should not seek redress for suspected vote allocation in River's state is unreasonable. No society is run that way. It is like saying you should not be prosecuted for a crime because you suspected someone else had commited the same crime and was not prosecuted.

The slave camp is not Nairaland bro!

The slave camp is what you call your country!
It is Nigeria!

What is Nigeria?

“Since 1914 the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country, but the Nigerian people themselves are historically different in their backgrounds, in their religious beliefs and customs and do not show themselves any signs of willingness to unite … Nigerian unity is only a British invention” – Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, 1948.

“Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French,’ The word ‘Nigeria’ is a mere distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not” - Chief Obafemi Awolowo, 1947.

“It is better for us and many admirers abroad that we should disintegrate in peace and not in pieces. Should the politicians fail to heed the warning, then I will venture the prediction that the experience of the Democratic Republic of Congo will be a child’s play if it ever comes to our turn to play such a tragic role” - Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, 1964.

You are being clever and mischievous with your quotes above? Why did you quote Tafa Balewa and Awo pre independence and you quote Zik post independence.

Pre-independence, the north did not not want one Nigeria, they wanted to stay on their own, the South west were not so commited to one Nigeria, they were ready to go along with whichever way it went. It was the Igbos that was obsessed with one Nigeria, they promoted one Nigeria. This was done because they felt that the British would hand over power to them, because they see themselves as being more educated and advanced. It was until after, they lost out in the power play and power was handed over to the north that the Igbos and Zik started singing a new tune. They started opposing one Nigeria. But when Ironsi took over power in 1966, he destroyed even the loose confederacy the British left and imposed a unitary one Nigeria. We did not hear complaints from Zik and the igbos then.

So this "slave camp" was a creation of the British in concert with the Igbos.

barcanista:
Were you blind or dumb to see that Fiscal Federalism and Resource Control were the Chief of South South/East demand in the 2014 National Conference? Do you think our demands start and end with the Office of the President?

Go check the meaning of hypocrisy and look yourself in the mirror

The question is why did the government have to wait until a few months to elections before decreeing national conference? (the national conference had no legal backing). Why wait for appointed people to do the fight for fiscal federalism, why are our elected politicians not leading our fight for fiscal federalism? why was fiscal federalism not a campaign issue among SS politicians during the just concluded elections?

i am also a strong advocate of fiscal federalism, but i believe in using proper legal, political and diplomatic channels to achieve it than lip service bargaining chip for few politicians.

barcanista:
That's why I said he should speak for himself. The so-called Speakership is his personal interest. I don't see how being a Speaker gives SS an extra seat in the Parliament. The primary interest of the SS now bothers on Fiscal Federalism. Others are secondary!

I agree with you 100%, but the question is, why NOW ? why was fiscal federal federalism not the interest of the SS while our brother was in power?

TANiods and President Jonathan's supporters are just getting into emotional overdrive over Buhari's victory. The AIT issue is just a storm in a teapot. There is nothing against press freedom in Buhari not allowing AIT or any other person into his house. AIT was not banned, their licence was not withdrawn, their station was not closed down, their reporters were not arrested or harrased, so what is all the noise about Buhari denying press freedom.

Even though Buhari denies knowlegde of the whole thing, he has the right to allow or deny anyone into his private house. If he was already sworn in president and it is an official assignment, then we can start talking about Buhari denying AIT its right of press freedom. But for now Buhari can still enjoy his life as a private citizen.

If it was me, i would not even allow AIT anywhere near me or my family, i would only deal with them on official basis, nothing personal, no favours.

If it was President Jonathan and his family that was insulted by hate campaigns promoted by a media organization, i am sure the media organization have been shut by now.

Press freedom does not mean unlimited access to the homes and private lives of all citizens - both public and private.

The press is not big brother.

See lie. Omo this guy can wake a corpse with his lies. He is forming humble because of politics. He has relalized that Nigerians fall mugu fore fake humilty (remember how successful the "i have no shoes" claim was).

I have known Ben Bruce personally for over 30 years, and i know how ulta elitist he is. Around 1988 he bought a stretched white limo, which he drove arround in.

He want to tell us that when he was travelling around the world with stars such as Jeffery Daniels, Howard Hewitt and J.T tailor, Agbani Dorego, etc, they were travelling around in economy class, or when he was NTA DG he did not enjoy official luxuries.

The OP is not even putting the weather into consideration. I tried walking from my home to my office last week which is just a distance of about 2km. The problem was i did the walking about 12 noon, and by the time i walked 30mins, i was sweating, exhusted and tired. The sun was blazing hot and i was panting like a dog. Now imagine walking on Lagos - Ibadan expressway from from 11am to 5pm in the blazing sun non stop at 12km/hr. He will be dehydrated in no time.

The story of Jonny Walker is so stupid that it is a miracle some people believe him.

So here is my challenge to believers, walk 5km at 6km/hr for just 2hrs from 12noon to 2pm and come here and tell us your experience.

chukwudi44:
If the elections were rigged in the ss Buhari would not be our president elect.There were enough PVCS in the region to cancel out Buhari slim margin of victory. The APC is simply not wanted in the lower Niger region.

I am still waiting for the day Buhari would be stupid enough to scrap the amnesty program. I really don't think he would be that stupid

What are you talking about? you people talk on issues you absolutely have no idea about. How many votes were allocated to Buhari in the whole of the SS save Edo. We the Itsekiris had a grouse with president Jonathan and PDP over the Ogidigben Gas project and other issues concerning the discriminate siting of projects in mainly ijaw areas of the state. We specifically decided to support Buhari as a protest, but how many votes were allocated to Buhari in Itsekiri areas? Lots of my Family members are involved in PDP politics from local government to federal level, so believe me i know what i am talking about. Even during the last the governorship elections of 2011, Ogboru would have won if not for the votes allocated to Uduaghan from the 3 warri local government areas.

Please explain what Amnesty program you are talking about? Or are you, any member of your family or even your tribe benefitting from the amnesty program. So what will you do if Buhari decides to scrap the so called amnesty program?

cktheluckyman:
Bros what has igbos got to do with the topic? How many states or wards in ibibio,efik,urhobo,itsekiri,etc lands was APC able to win during the last election?

The elections in the SS was a mirage, there was no elections. They just allocate figures. That was how elections had always been in the SS. I was involved in the 2003 elections, so i know what i am talking about.

The Igbos are the ones carrying the Ijaw cause on their head. They are the most pained by Jonathan's loss.

The so called amnesty program mainly favours the Ijaws, of the over 26,000 youths being paid awoof N65,000 per months, over 80% of them are of Ijaw ethnic group. Is what the amnesty program is about?

Lots of us SS citizens are annoyed at this waste of our rescources to favour one ethnic group. Even Amaechi is not in support of paying criminals money not to commit crime.

When Buhari enters office, we the SS people will engage the government in proper "Amnesty Program" that will involve cleaning of our environment, providing basic amenities like electricity and water for the communities, free education for our childern and job opportunities for our youths.

msmon:
Sometimes I wish there is no advent of social media in Nigeria, a lot of conflicting information going around on a daily basis.

On GMB, whether he took responsibility or waived it on other party...the reality is it's undemocratic and unconstitutional to bar a media house in covering events . And all this I will... I will... statement should be managed to lower the expectation of Nigerians because this is not a military era. These I will... I will... Statement is autocratic in nature and somebody needs to remind him is no more in 1980...where you give order and the zombies follow.

Please elaborate more on the bolded. Is it in the constitution that all events of private citizens and even public ones must be covered by all journalists? Can a person be taken to court for refusing a journalist or all journalist from covering a private event of any citizen. Are they saying Buhari has no right to refuse media coverage of any private visit in his home as a president elect (please note that he is not the president yet and the visit was not an official visit). Please quote the relevant section of the constitution that empowers the media to cover all public and private function of all public or private citizens.



So what these Buhari haters are implying is that every and all journalists and media outfits, both local and international must be allowed access to the president at every function and event both official and unofficial, no need for permission or accreditation.

Now that Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has been chosen by the
Nigerian people, it is my duty as a patriotic Nigerian to help him succeed even
though my candidate was President Goodluck Jonathan, a man to whom I will
always be loyal and appreciative.

Ben Bruce,s opening sentence contradicts the whole body of the article. If you are loyal and appreciative of president jonathan, it means you appreciate his style of governance. So why the advice? why not ask Buhari to continue with the way jonathan was ruling Nigeria, So that you can appreciate him too.

Since Jonathan is his kinsman and he had access to him, why did he not give Jonathan these advices anytime during the 6 yr presidency of president Goodluck?

Please leave President elect Buhari alone, he does not need the advice of PDP members on how to run a successful government.

kenonze:
Onu has been steadfast in opposition party since 1998.
He contested gubernatorial seat against Sam Egwu ; having being in opposition party without much financial muscle, he was defeated by PDP. He became the presidential flag bearer under APP, then again the agenda to install someone from SW has to prevail, so he was schemed into false alliance with AD (olu Falaye). The rest of the story u know.....

He remained with APP even when small children were joining The most powerful and largest party (PDP).
He stool with his conscience principle.
He never cause commotion in his state (Ebonyi)

SFG is out rightly due for him.

This man is a first class graduate of chemical Engineering from Unilag.
He was the one that set up and man the dept of Chemical Engineering in Uniport.
A silent achiver.

Impressive political resume, but what of his political value? How much political weight does he command in Igbo land? How many votes did he gather from Igbo land during all these contests, and how many followers does he command?

In the last election how many votes did he bring to the APC both in the presidential and governorship elections. If he is given a prominent post in the incoming APC government, would be able to bring in Igbo support for APC? These are the considerations for distibution of political offices in Nigerian democracy.

I beg you people to stop this SS/SE nonsense. There was never an alliance of the SE and the whole SS, and i doubt there would ever be. The only alliance i am seeing is the Igbos and the Ijaws, And i see nothing wrong with it. If the two tribes are interested in marrying themselves, they can start marriage proceedings. They should first define, their geographic boundaries and their aims and objectives. They should then follow normal diplomatic channels, like the UN, the AU and having a referendum. It might be a long and torturous journey but it is achievable. But to expect the Benis, the Urhobos, the Isokos, the Iteskiris, the Ishans, the calabaris, and all the over 60 tribes in the "lower niger" to agree to align with the Igbos and Ijaws is wishful thinking.

major466:
According to apc e minions warped ideology, attacking GEJ through lies and insult is very ethical. That calling GEJ clueless, otuke drunkard and ogogoro drinker is an act of professionalism. But when you attack Buhari, you are violating journalistic principles, ethics and code of conduct. Is this not hypocracy

what hypocrisy? did channels, AIT, TVC, Punch and even premiumtimes call GEJ clueless, otuke drunkard and ogogoro drinker? If they did please provide links. it is unbelievable that some people are justifying insulting and character assassination of someone by a supposed professional media organization in the name of freedom of expression. Meanwhile if insult Oga Seun, i would be barred and banned from using his site.

The sports betting problem is just a tip of the iceberg. The main problem is our value system, we have a warped value system that emphasizes making it at all cost no matter how. This value system is promoted by parents, the communities, the churches and the society at large. A teenage is without ant visible means of livelyhood engages in Yahoo yahoo and buys new cars for his father, the father is proud of him and celebrates him. He pays tithes and his pastor uses him as an example of whom God as blessed. And his community afford him much respect. So even a 12yr is trying to make it.

Is it only sports betting? What about the telecoms companies who play their own lottery by asking people win millions of naira for N100 per text, or those that says predict the correct scores for N100. They do not bother with age restrictions.

Then there is our TV program and films, there is no strict age classification and restriction. You will see programs on local TV promoting sex, crime and all manner of vices being shown in the afternoon (sometimes in the morning), without caring for the minors.

That's why his famous. He invented the worlds fastest super computer back then.

I thought we have settled this inventing the fastest computer ( or is it father of the internet) scam by Phillip Emegwali, it had been thrashed thouroughly in this forum. He did not invent a calculator before talking of inventing a supercomputer. He was only able to connect some computers together and clocked the fastest processing speed at that time. The record did not last more than a few months before faster processing speed was achieved by others.

This was his claim to fame.

It's easy to sit at home and cast doubts on someone's achievement. If you were so interested in the trek, why didn't you accompany him?

Oya, you that accompanied him, please help us ask the following questions;

Where did he sleep in the 13 days he was on the road? In hotels, in churches, in mosques or in a camp sac ( did he take camping gear along?)
What was the exact route he took?
How did he feed along the way?
How did he observe basic hygiene like bathing, brushing, etc.
Any Photographs or vidoes of towns and cities he passed through?

Suleiman Hashimu, will no doubt enter the Guiness Book of Record as the first man to trek from Lagos to Abuja.

There is doubt he will enter the Guiness book of records. First he did not inform the Guiness Book of Records he intends to break a record, so that they would physically withness the process and i am sure walking the distance from Abuja is not a record.

Hashimu, a native of Katsina State, said he was in Lagos when Buhari was announced the president-elect of Nigeria, so he left Lagos at about 5am the next day and arrived in Ibadan around 6pm.

To little information to go with. Buhari was announced president elect early in the morning around 3 am, so he is telling us he had only about 2 hours to prepare for the journey. We need answers to questions like;

Where is he living in Lagos (that is if he resides in Lagos at all)?
What time did he leave home and at what time did he get to the Lagos toll gate?
What kit and gear did he carry along with him?
Did he stop at all along the journey? Did he stop to rest, eat, defecate, etc?
Where in Ibadan did he sleep for the night?

Narrating his ordeal to newsmen upon his arrival in Abuja, Hashimu said he had gone to get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait for the processes to be completed, the divisional police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.

Which police station did he go to and why does ne require a police report? What use is a police report in treking from Lagos to Abuja? who does he expect to impede is journey. If he needed a police report or permission to trek, why did he not apply for such at police headquaters in Lagos before embarking on the trek?

The journey man said when he first embarked on the journey, many persons discouraged him, especially family members but he never gave up.

But he said he ambarked on the journey almost immediately Buhari was announced winner, so what time did members of his family have to try and dissuade him?

He told journalists that in Ilorin, people accompanied him for several miles until he stopped at Oloru, where he received much hospitality in Jebba. He said unlike other villages, he met people who had heard of him.

How come people in Ilorin and surrounding villages knew him and his mission? Even me living in urban Lagos would not recognize him if he stood in front of me. I only heard of him on Nairaland after he is said to have arrived Suleja. From the best of my knowledge, i do not think he had a press crew reporting his journey. Maybe Ilorin people and villagers are on Nairaland.

He further explained that about 20 people set off with him from Jebba and after some miles, 18 turned back, but the other two were more strong-minded and followed him.

Where are the photos of the people that followed him or is he saying neither hin nor any of his followers had a camera phone?

The Traveller narrated how they encountered armed robbers close to Mokwa, but that, fortunately, he had already met one of them in Jebba and the would-be robber ended up giving him N200 for ‘pure’ (sachet) water.

This one get as he be. How did he know they were armed robbers? was he a witness to their armed robbery operation or they simply walked up to him and introduced themselves as armed robbers. Then he said he already met one of the armed robbers at Jebba, was the armed robber walking along with him or trailing him?

Please Note: I am a Buhari Supporter.

By Simon Ebegbulem

BENIN CITY—THE South South Voice, a pressure group in the Niger Delta, has described as unacceptable the way and manner the North and the West truncated the second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan and warned that the nation may face another round of crisis unless issues relating to alleged conspiracy against the people of the South South is addressed.

In a letter addressed to President Jonathan, signed by its National Coordinator, Mr Victor Tamarapreye and Michael Akpodore made available to Vanguard, it alleged that President Goodluck Jonathan was manipulated out of the contest therefore it will be unjust to hand over power to Gen.Muhammadu Buhari “who is a beneficiary of the Hausa,Yoruba conspiracy”.

According to the letter“ We the under signed for and on behalf of numerous concerned people of the South South geo-political region of Nigeria, wish to inform you that, we are not happy with the way and manner the election was conducted and it will be wrong to hand over power to the wrong person.

“The election was rigged massively to favour Gen.Buhari and we will not accept such result. Even though we are heading to court but we want to warn first so that Nigerians will understand where the trouble is coming from when it commences.

“Secondly, You Mr President was coaxed and intimidated to accept the outcome of the election by the International Community and the so called peace makers Committee in Nigeria.

“There was a gang-up against you from the Northern part of Nigeria irrespective of party line, as well as the issue of under-age voters which we all saw in several northern states. You have performed more than any Nigerian president has ever produced in your first term in office.”
- See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/hausa-yoruba-conspiracy-against-jonathan-must-be-addressed-before-may-29/#sthash.awkAYNWK.dpuf

The Ijaws should not attempt to drag the whole of the south south with them because of the ambitions of one man. Jonathan is not the first man in history to lose a second term bid and he will not be the last. If the Ijaws, the PDP and Igbo sympathizers feel cheated, the courts are opened, at least that was what Buhari did three times in the past. But if they feel they have the might to face the Hausas and the whole north, the yorubas and middle belt and the whole international community, then i wish them good luck.
