Eyaahh.. The man was corrupt , but I sure didn't wish him dead.. Family take heart, it is well.

RIP ex-gov

Every politician in Nigeria is corrupt.

Truckpusher:
When we specifically called this man a useless ancient relic that has no modern value ,they called us wailers.


I wouldn't even allow my father to marshall out the way forward for me and my siblings in a family meeting when he's already old - we should be the one marshaling out the way forward because we belong to the future , but again how do you explain this to some bunch of zombies with an IQ of a rodent?

Nigerians will pay and that is a fact.

Hey! Comparing the IQ of "sai baba chanters" with that of a rodent is an insult to some rodents.

The world is going deeper and deeper digitally. And Nigeria is seriously going analogy. Tell me how do we expect to catch up with the caprices of the world with old men who still think "west germany" exist. We are doomed in this country. All this youths chanting sai buhari are the bigger fools.

GentleToks:
Let's prove each other right or wrong today; before the day runs out. Please and please, kill a Yoruba man with his picture here. And I ll assure you that the dead bodies of an Igbo family (not talking about single person) would be fully uploaded here before 9pm tonight. If i and my friends don't kill the entire family igbo family in my neighbourhood, call me a bastard on this forum for life.

It ll take lest than a week to kill all Igbos in this Town cos we know most of them.

Mr. Chest beater... You are spitting all over the forum

I can vividly remember Oke-Ogun treatment of this wanderers.

Another massacre awaits them. Even Buhari will not be able to save them.

Their brothers will never over steps their boundaries again after the Idi Araba and Shagamu samples. The same way some people were cut to size in Ajegunle.

Also, the same way we made a budding republic turned to an online federal republic at Ore.

Be slow to act, but act swiftly and deadly when the set time for the response has come.

Now is the time for the fulani wanderers. I just hope no one will sing the usual song of genocide when the repercussions of their actions hit them, like they did in 2000

Mr. Chest beater, we hear you loud and clear

All hail the APC saints, the change makers.

Poo!..This thread stinks (run out of thread)

dridowu:
PDP deceive you pre/post election. If Buhari does not have the basic requirement, PDP would have use all that as an opportunity to make sure Buhari was disqualify from contesting that election.
US Army War College with Master Degree in Strategic Studies.

If i may ask you both, why did PDP withdraw the case from Court ?

Well, in case you don't know, APC threatened that hell will be unleashed in Nigeria if ever buhari is disqualified by court. I can search and provide you the link if you want.

You post a pix of buhari and some set of white men as an alternate for a certificate? We are not all fools ok. Certificate is all we ask for, not pix of some fake old classmate

egift:
The same people that insulted President Buhari who has an equivalent of Master Degree from the US War College are stack illiterates themselves.

You talk too much. Why not just present a certificate and clear the web.

The lying liars

coolitempa:
The response to this Fulani menace.....must be swift....must be more than proportionate.....and must be finite.... ....just watch and see....the government has been given enough chances....

I see you again! Mr. Cheat beater, you no dey tire ni?

ChiziAmadi:
The Constitution does not state that a particular list of ministerial nominees must be at least 36 in number. It does not also state the time line on appointment of ministers.

It only states that a minister must be appointed from each state. President Buhari has not violated the Constitution by sending only 21 nominees in the time being. When all is said and done, we shall have 36 ministers, one from each state.

And that's all that matters.

Yes, we are actually saying the same thing. Buhari has not violated constitution by sending 21 nominees, but the senate approval of the 21 nominees will go against the provision of the constitution .

safarigirl:
no practicing lawyer will waste any argument on you. So, you have to manage the student. And I was mistaken on S.145, it's actually 147. Buhari mustn't appoint all 36 ministers. He may even work 6 at a time during his 4-year tenure as ministerial appointments have no permanent tenure. Punch did an article on this, use your Google rather than opening baseless threads. Have a good day

Go and read your books and pass your bar exam. You can see the careless mistake you made by quoting S. 145 . Hopefully, One day you will understand that the law in classroom is different from law in practice.

safarigirl:
something mustn't be stated explicitly to be deduced, are you daft? Whatever happened to 'interpretation'. Check Section 5 then, once again, take your flimsy argument to court and stop ranting online. I'm not part of you jobless political e-thugs here, I just wish to educate you, but a person like you who is the real bigot will argue blindly to prove an idiotic point

You are a mere law student , you have no knowledge of law in practice . You should go argue with your fellow students . I need a practicing lawyer to argue with , not a classroom student.

safarigirl:
'at his discretion' allows him to appoint regionally. We tackled it in class. If there are financial restraints that won't allow for 36 ministers, he can appoint less as long as each region is equally represented. Now stop moaning or take this elementary argument of yours to court since you know so much and watch a newbie trash you

You are only a law student ,now I get . A lawyer cannot just state a legal fact without quoting any statute or reported case to support his assertion. Provide me with a section of the constitution which provide for regional appointment of ministers as alternative for section 147(3), that's how lawyers argue. You can't just sit down and fabricate baseless facts and claim to be a lawyer . Even section 145(1) you stated has nothing to do with appointment of ministers. You argue more like a political bigot . I need a practicing lawyer like me to argue with not a classroom student .

seunmsg:
I read your argument and it is seriously flawed. Nothing in the section you quoted will prevent the senate from screening ministerial nominees nominated in batches by the president. The president makes ministerial nominees at his own discretion. What matters is that the federal character principles must be adhered to when such appointments are made.

Again, if you read section 147(3) very well, it can even be reasonably argued that the president is only bond to appoint one minister from each states if in his opinion, the country needs at least 36 ministers or more. If the president in his opinion feels that he doesn't need up to 36 ministers, he can appoint less than 36 and the appointments will be valid in as much as the federal character principle is reflected in the total appointments.

You got me wrong.. I never said it's legally wrong for the senate to screen the 21 ministerial nominee. What i said is that the senate cannot approve 21 ministerial nominee which does not conform with at least a minister per state as clearly stated by the constitution. Senate can screen the 21 nominee , but should withhold their approval until the next batch of ministerial list is confirmed.

safarigirl:
actually, you do. Maybe if you were a lawyer, you would've understood it better before posting here

You are funny... Your way of argument as a lawyer is appalling. So , anyone who has a different opinion with you is not a lawyer. I expect you to present a reasonable argument to support your position , rather than bragging to be a lawyer. Lawyers argue with each other in court, and as same time learn from each other.

safarigirl:
read Section 145(1) where it states that Ministerial appointments are made AT THE DISCRETION of the President. He appoints as he so wishes. And the section you keep bandying about can be tackled simply by appointing ministers from each of the 6 geo-political zones which is what Buhari has done. It's basic Cons. Law, I did this ish in my exams couple of months ago

I don't know where you got the assertion that a president can appoint his ministers as he so wishes, becus section 145(1) never state such.

If you are a student of constitutional law as you claim , you will bear witness with me that Sec 147(3) clearly direct a president to appoint at least one Minister from each state... The constitution never provide for appointment by regionalism. He cannot appoint as he wish overlooking this constitutional provision. State and region are two different things

OrlandoOwoh:
Everybody is now a constitutional lawyer.

It's obvious you have no reasonable contribution on the matter at hand. You don't need to be a lawyer b4 you can be able to read and understand the constitution.

seunmsg:
Second batch will soon be sent to the senate. The 21 man list is not final. I wonder why it is so difficult for some of you to understand this.

It's obvious you didn't read my argument above. No matter what , the constitution must be conform with. If it doesn't conform with the constitution , it's unacceptable, no matter how morally right it may sound.

modath:
OP,

Kindly point to where the constitution says they must ALL be presented at the same time, it may be a departure from the norm, it is not a constitutional breach..

Been repeating this like a broken record " the vp is a prof of law & fmr att. Gen of a state...

They have it covered.

The section of the constitution you quoted simply states that the senate can only approve a ministerial list which gives effect to the federal character in which appointment is made at least one minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such State.

The constitution never said the senate can approve a ministerial list on trust even though it does not conform with the required provision for appointment.

obailala:
Lol... No Nigerian president has ever appointed all ministers at once.

I'm not arguing that the ministers must be appointed at once, all I'm saying is that the senate is only authorize to approve a ministrial list which appointment is made from at least one minister from each state.

The constitution of Nigeria is the ground root of all government policy. Any government policy which does not directly or indirectly conform with the constitution is null and void.

The delay of ministerial nomination is excusable on the ground that the constitution never stipulated a time frame on which such nomination should be made. Personally, I think this is a dangerous loophole in the constitution and need to be amend to prevent any dictator-like government in our democratic pace.

Subsequently, the recent submission of 21 ministerial names to the senate for approval is inexcusably folly and unconstitutional. The constitution of Nigeria made it apparent under Section 147(2)and (3), these section and its subsections provides as follows:

SEC 147(2): " Any appointment to the office of Minister of Government of the Federation shall, if the nomination of any person to such offices is confirmed by the senate, be made by the president".

SEC 147(3) "Any appointment under subsection (2) of this section by the president shall be in conformity with federal character as provide by constitution: Provided that in giving effect to the federal character the president shall appoint at least one minister from each state, who shall be an indigene of such State.

Buhari's nomination of 21 persons for the ministerial post does not in anyway comply with the above constitutional provision. The constitution provide that the senate cannot approve a ministerial list in which the individuals nominated does not cover the 36 states of Nigeria. The 21 persons nominated was not appointed from each state of Nigeria, and on that ground should be tantamount to null and void and therefore dead on arrival.

Most people might argue that the 21 ministerial list is not all that it is, that buhari will sooner or later submit more list for senate approval. But, as far as the parent law of Nigeria is concern, such action is unacceptable. The constitution only recognize a ministerial list in which appointment is made from at least one minister from each state.

In line with the above, if buhari is not ready yet to present a ministerial list that conform with the constitution ( from each state), then he should continue with his minister-less government which is on its own a loophole in the constitution. Any attempt by the senate to approval buhari's 21 ministerial list will circumvent our beloved constitution.

Is an indisputable fact that in Nigeria, the Igbos are the most brilliant as far as education is concern. The Igbo potentials are far beyond their imagination. The Igbo pple are really blessed and gifted by God, that why they can exalt in any environment. Respect to you all ...

He will enter right inside your house and burst a hot metal into your coward head to make you see the seriousness of the agitation.

OP! You are such a pathetic cowards... You willingly add yourself on biafran facebook group. Did anyone force you to join brafia group page on facebook? You go to biafran page, dig out post and publicize it on NAiraland to terrify your fellow cowards. Am waiting for the day you fools concentrate on oduduwa problems and leave biafrans to deal with their own problem . what a terrible coward!

You drank biafra, eat biafra, breath biafra , think biafra and talk biafra .

abagoro:
No matter how pathetic your level of tribal hatred use your God given brain sometimes. Fulani herdsmen are neither kidnappers nor armed robbers. They have moved around us for hundreds of years without such incident. This Falae's case is the 1st ever kidnapping either erroneously or correctly pointing at herdsmen. If you have records of any other please point it out. Herdsmen have always clashed with farming communities and that is understandable as cattle destroys people's cash crops and this often leads to crisis. Kidnapping for ransom is very alien to herders.

Yes, I concur with you. I think falae is dementia. I think the kidnapper are yorubas disguise as fulani herdmen .

You mean an ediot that lost 3m people and still run away in the middle of the night is a brave man? Gosh! Ojuku ran away in the middle of the night, and still come back to contest election in same country that killed 3m flat. head, yet you are not ashamed of the cursed ediot. shame on you

In case you don't know , below is the said rat poison Awolowo cowardly too. Rather than face his masters , he choose to commit suicide and died like a street rat. What a ball-less man

God did not create Nigeria. Nigeria is a forced contraption of nations made possible by the fire arm of a white man called Lugard. The indigenous pple in the so called Nigeria never willingly accept to be together.

* We’re open for discussions on how they can do
ranches – Afenifere

By Dapo Akinrefon

The Association of Fulani Chiefs of South West
Nigeria and Miyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, have faulted the proposed ban on cattle rearers by Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, saying it is in violation of 1999 Constitution which protects free movement of people and livestock.

Addressing a press conference in Lagos, the chairman, Association of South West Fulani Chiefs,
Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Bambado also
frowned at the recent kidnapping and release of a
former Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Chief Olu Falae.

Recall that Afenifere had warned all Fulani herdsmen to stay away from Yoruba land henceforth or face dare consequences.
A communique issued by Yinka Odumakin accused
the Fulani herdsmen who abducted Chief Falae of
carrying out vengeance mission.

The Communique read by Odumakin said “We
demand that nomadic cattle rearing should be
stopped in every state of Yoruba land. We believe
now that after what has happened to chief Falae,
people would not tolerate such thing in any part of
Yoruba land. So while we await the arrest of the
criminals, the cattle rearing should be stop in

MrEmeritus1:
Ojuku of cursed memory died senile, blind, deaf, deranged and crippled while FFK f.uck his wife Biancar. Ojuku is a failure in life and death. Spit on his grave.

At least he didn't drink rat poison like Awolowo. I have no respect for cowards who commit suicide rather than fight their enemies. Cowardice to the core.
