BlackViper:
Is Yekini Amoda threatening to commit suicide?

🤣

tanigororo:
I am 40, I have stable income, I am okay.
If you pressure me I pressure you back!!!

They don't know, lols. When I say why don't they just die too since people their age have died, they'd start acting funny 🤣

Pressure for pressure.

It surprises me when they feel so entitled to my life, such that they feel they would live my life better than me. Imagine inferring that I should not be entitled to decision I have resolved to make whether due to careful or not so careful thinking and reflection. Like they don't believe that what ever is outside me is under advisements automatically, they feel because they say, I must do. They be playing, feeling too much of themselves.

No words

In the year of the reign of EDC, once again another casualty, lols

So the better hope is selling abi giving away your precious minerals for cents when the same is x10000 the price right?

This here again is another failure just like many others of the Judiciary, its standards and absence of quality control and checks of processes/tasks validation.

If the Judiciary were working his wrongful accusers should have been held instead.

The Police would have been fined and the funds deducted from source so that it can affect their budget for tainting their duty and standard of policing, eroding public trust and disregard of ethical standards of the profession. Nobody will tell the Police command to deliver the officers responsible for eating into their collective budget and thereby affecting every other police officers' paycheck.

When consequences are felt during enforcement, order will stay.

Irupetepete:
Nobody even mentioned why he was arrested in the first place

He was maliciously framed as constituting public nuisance, said to be fighting in public, just because the street boys around did not get a share in the funds he received from the small fame and encounter with the former Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi and his convoy, so the story I hear goes.

Then the police added baseless charges because there is no Judicial system. They just say one did so and so and it sticks with no evidence or even with evidence to the contrary.

Did he not go to far away Chatham House to tell you guys that El- Rufai would handle security?

So El-Rufai is handling security.

I just wanted to add that, while this is not an endorsement on not keeping a discipline habit of zero littering policy and responsible waste disposal, do you know that even when you have done all you can, you have these scavengers come scatter overflowing or well staked or sealed waste in order to access their finds and leave the place as if the waste was irresponsibly disposed it in the first instance?


There are also loose cattle moving around and tearing up well staked, bagged, or sealed waste.


This two instances is the highlight the impact of failure of regulation on the part of government.

To hasten a better orientation for the country as a whole all components must be responsible, whether individual, corporate, government or otherwise. Everything thing here now hinges back to the judiciary.


The judiciary is weak, slow and endorsing all these discord by its inactions else there would have been very perceivable order in all strata of citizenry as regards this simple cases suck as waste handling at the elementary level.

Mislead external audience, people outside looking in, to think you care. Meanwhile your actions and culture is obvious.

Deceiving...

safariman:
Even right now with no penalties associated with overstay, the Immigration still milks you dry for one day of overstaying. For example if you have a Nigerian multiple 2year visa, they will only give you 90days at the point of entry. You are then supposed to go to an Immigration office if you are going to overstay. I was reliably informed that the reason they give you especially a Nigerian with all the possibilities of overstaying is to exhort money upon departure. They will not give you more than 90days.

There is penalty associated with overstay even now. In fact, this is arguably an attempt to grab the current contract from the present consultancy the NIS is working with.

It is exempt for the countries in the ECOWAS sub region and special countries like Cameroun with current bilaterals.

So who tells a human being the correct time to protest.




Jokers.


Una no ready lols. Keep waiting for supervisors of your sufferings to dictate to you when to protest or not.

Moveittothem:
Any body that have gone through school and still Voted for Tinubu is a bloody illiterate

just kidding

The current definition of illiterate is archaic.

This is 2025 where children of 6 years can read and write.

Now, Illiteracy is the inability to learn, unlearn and relearn.

I don't think it is an ability o. It is a state. If it is an ability thing then one is entering the realms of being "challenged", or "handicapped"

nedekid:
Over stay cases on arrival?
What concerns anyone in naija airport if you overstayed on a visa issued to you by a foreign country?

No overstay cases are intercepted at departures. I was only explaining one the reasons for non uniform personnel for Immigration saying perhaps something similar may apply to NDLEA.

Visa issued by a foreign country is regarding access to the country on the said visa. If it came from a Nigerian embassy in a foreign country it is considered as Nigeria issuing that visa.


See generally, every non ECOWAS passenger stay regardless of their visa (exception being, STR (green/CERPAC card, dependent and diplomatic visas) is regulated by the ePASS guidelines. If you do overstay AND ARE INTERCEPTED, you will be required to do the necessary extension you should have done in the first place, you will also be subject to a 100% penalty. This essentially means you will need to pay twice of what you should have done in the first instance. All this is whether or not you are able to catch your flight afterwards.

Candreva:
Who approves officers of NDlea to dress like that in a public place like the airport? Nigeria is wild.

I don't know much about NDLEA code of conduct regarding their uniform use but I assume they are allowed to do that. The most important thing though is to always look intently at their on-duty card they put on that Identifies them. In fact, when interacting with them as they get to establish the identity of who they are dealing with ask it of them as well. They tend to not introduce themselves and communicate more awareness, my observation.

There are plain dressed officers for different reasons, one of the most common being by virtue of their duty..e.g for Immigration, monitoring. You wouldn't know about them until you look at their card. They are responsible for interception of possible overstay cases, so I would assume it may apply to NDLEA too.

adalame:
Everything went well. Kudos to our officials. They did their job but why the immigration guy come dey fear like that.

Lols, non of the officers in the video was immigration. That's how immigration gets strays from "mis-doings" of other agencies. The officers featured in his interactions in the video was first the Nigerian Customs Service officer responsible for checking dutiable items and contraband etc and his second interaction was with an NDLEA official strictly focus on drugs.


Usually that line up occurs after they have been cleared and admitted/stamped into the country by the combo check of first the DSS then Nigeria Immigration Service.

That second line where this video is made typically made up of NCS almost always first, Nigeria Quarantine Service (agric or biological focused checking), NDLEA, I have forgotten the other two but those ones rarely interface or might appear based on tip-offs or haunches or watchlist triggers

TheBillyonaire:
They should move further down after the ice wall, they will be get to the Rothschild's Empire. Those fuckers own continents to themselves and share bounderies with ETs,

You never know this might just be a coded SOS call where the assaulter is actually non human. Perhaps, just speculating.

So does this mean every religion will have their own courts?

Standby for african traditional courts for the different cultures then and the Krishna courts from the Indian community in Nigera among many others.... too much divise tolerances in this place, with definitely subpar management of the justice workflow and quality... smh

ddippset:
She has brought the Senate to disrepute.

She brought dishonour to the Hallowed chambers.

Her attitude is unbecoming of a distinguished senator of the Federal Republic.


Make we continue dey deceive course for this country.

If there's no fair hearing, then it is most likely the so called Hallowed chambers is not hallowed by its presiding officer in the first instance. When is a hallowed chamber sex before work, else unnecessary impediments towards work?

Carry on Natasha.

She makes the culture of Maladministration, Cronyism, Kleptocracy, deliberate Incompetence and deliberately not doing what is good, worth it, shameful and bad on them that is why they are against her.

She has clearly shown and proven what can be capable when the fund allocated to senators are judiciously used for developmental projects geared towards truly bridging economic gaps escaped by the executives.

If they have good intentions it will show even when the actions are ephemeral but streaming towards the desired long term.

Zouzer:
"Empowerment project"? Geez! Provisions of water taps of these sorts are barely standard enough to even be regarded as proper social amenities.

While I agree vehemently with you, you have to understand that the scope of their project is highly dependent on the funds availed to them as allocated periodically (probably monthly, but the data is out there). Also, it isn't their main function to do these things by the way as they are lawmakers. These projects are traditionally the responsibility of the executive arm of Nigeria's democracy, they are the ones the scrutiny of standards of delivery and quality should be probed against.

Having said that, these funds are allocated to senators representing their senatorial district and she has been a standout (it is just not publicly advertised but the people know quite well), when you compare the sheer volume of what she has done, and quality in comparison to other senator. Easily Top 10% percentile especially within the timeframe she's done it. Some elements feel the allocation allocated to do these things should not be spent on the right thing because they would rather want the funds to be misappropriate and shared within them. To them they are loosing money, misplaced entitlement unjust, corrupt and opaque system the culture of corporate governance practiced here has encourage is only fighting back.

I would say if the people can't see it, let them remain blind but I forget that the players want them blind and are actively blinding them to enrich themselves.

slimfit1:
If she had tried to focus on law making I think we wouldn't be here, she hasn't done anything to me. Her job is lawmaking she decided to do this with the money we gave her not her money. The lady has done nothing to me. Lawmaking will provide more jobs for people this was just for photoshoot don't be deceived. However, I still stand with her on her case with Akpabio.

Are you not aware it was the frustration from the president of the senate from giving attention of focus on law making regarding her constituent that lead to this?

Are you also saying that the periodic allocation to senators for this same constituency project should then be squandered and not encouraged to be used the way she has? Have you compared what she has done with senators like her? can't you see how above average even when the projects are temporary cushions compared to the real solutions law making and enforcement need to sustain development?

Well, it is left to the people. If they don't see the good she has done in such a short time to expose the depth of allocations to their senatorial district(s) an allow non-state elements into the reign of positions of responsible leadership it will always be their cup of tea, they will have to organize more 30-day type rants in future. Who sees a good thing and rejects it? is it not the illiteracy affecting the people like this, when the elite deliberately keep them from knowledge, making them easily deceived by mere rice grains than lasting justice (which needs not only laws but relentless enforcement of order for growth long term).

What you are witnessing is the forces of evil preventing her from doing her job... and her familiar enemies of order fermenting ways to recall her.

I wish her well and hope she wins this battle against her local oppressors.

In a sane a ethical environment, just fair hearing and amicable resolution of the issue would have solved this. All these actions against her only points to the fact that the powers that be don't want exposure because they want things opaque to have an excuse not to do their work.

DRKRIZ:
Legal luminary, let’s call a spade a spade. You can’t demand that the Senate President step down over mere allegations that haven’t been proven. Legally, it doesn’t work that way. If we were to follow that logic, politicians would have weaponized it long ago....I could wake up tomorrow, accuse the President, and expect him to step down. No country operates that way.

Lawmakers should fight within the boundaries of the law, not trample on it. You can’t claim to champion justice while disregarding the very rules that uphold it. If Senate procedures require a senator to be seated before being recognized, she should have followed that protocol before making her case. Defiance isn’t always bravery; sometimes, it’s recklessness.

Moreover, it’s unrealistic to suggest that all 108 senators..


including those from her state, her party, and all female senators....are corrupt. That’s an emotional exaggeration, not a factual argument. Anything worth doing is worth doing well. If she truly understood the laws she claims to defend, she wouldn’t keep making these missteps. She is in error.

I understand how you describe that these allegations can be weaponize. I am quite aware of some who have theorized that she may even be doing this, also I cannot pretend to know the criteria which is used to judge the severity of this allegations in-house but they sound pretty serious.

But usually, when someone is being investigated for abuse like this some part of their responsibilities do suffer suspension especially when it affects the accuser, or in cases where that can't happen, they accuser my get suspended as a protection from the power of the accused.

Even an ex Senate president could see and advised the current president to step aside for temporarily for investigation.


And no, I'm not suggesting a case of corruption for the other 108 members, it is not a case of corruption, it's procedural ethics. The corruption is yet to be determined between the two main characters though 😁.

Lanruze:
Leave that dude.

I read his post and didn't understand jack.

You better face more productive posts.

Bro, aren't you harsh like this?

Sorry I can be too abstract at times, but I can help with the understanding.


Talking about productivity, sometimes I just feel there probably no need writing these epistles because it's generally easier when one is outside looking in and the authorities and institutions endowed with the power necessary to turn decisions may not even consult from them. So it might just be an exercise of letters or value refining or ideation.

The summary of my yapping basically is the optics of Senate president looks bad in the way the have handled this. I think they could have done better.

Adebishow:
Do you have a compression problem?

Did you follow the stories objectively?

Did you read my last post?

I said there were two separate cases; the first has been treated by the Senate Committee and the Senate herself. Punishment has been served.

The second case is being investigated.

The Senate President can't be suspended over an allegation that is being investigated by the Committee on Ethics and Privileges; he is not even a member of that committee.

If you have a personal problem with the Senate President, find your way to deal with it but to ask him to be suspended now is a joke taken too far.

He will not be suspended until proven guilty.

Please I wish to understand something, which one came first, was it the pending investigation or the punishment, or did the pending investigation start when the punishment was applied.

Ok, Let me concede the Senate president can't be suspended based on allegations being investigated by the ethics committee, isn't it still in order for him to step aside and delegate pending the conclusion of the investigation? I mean why would even an ex-Senate president also advise a step-aside and delegation as is the ethical thing to do as regards this accusations of this kind?


Concerning the televised portion of the session, are you aware the Senate president even chose to go with the "Yeas" instead of the overwhelming "Nays" that was echoed in the house (I mean I want to believe that maybe the louder Nays that I was hearing was probably due to their nearness to the mic of the specific camera the view was from, but so far I haven't seen another camera view to convince me that was the case)

janeedema:
Akpabio should apologize to her for what, exactly? When she was allegedly sexually assaulted, if she had used half this energy to tackle the “he-goat”, she would have made more impact.

No proofs. Just you say and I said.

This energy is why I believe she wasn't assaulted or harassed. Natasha would fight immediately if someone crosses the line, but she didn’t. Why?

That she waited years to bring whatever stuff up shows she only came up bexause the favors she was enjoying stopped.

I wish you didn't bring your wife into this. This isn't the model of a woman who is virtuous—I’m sorry.

Natasha is a vindictive and manipulative lady who only cries foul when things stops going her way.

It is a huge weakness not a strength.

I was good for her to wait, else how can she establish the patterns exhibited by the accused as related to the comment he made. In fact, if she reported then, it would have just been open to speculation or too subjective to do anything with.

Think through these things when you wish to dismiss cases like these. The rightness or wrongness can be effectively address by adequate laid down process which the Senate has shyed away from doing.


In fact, if there is any one to accuse of distraction or playing a script it would be the Senate and its presiding officer. Majority of the actions seem in bad faith as regards process even in instances where they are correct in invoking bylaws.

DRKRIZ:
Thanks,

Legal luminary, there's another law in senate bylaws that permits a law maker to go on suspension as long as the Senate sees fit depending on the severity of the case...As for the IPU ,they can only urge the Senate to look into the harassment case and try to meditate...They have no power to take any decision for the Nigerian senate...All these procedures are governed by laws.

Of course, IPU has no power to take decisions for the Nigerian Senate, our sovereignty is not in question. There is a real effect of this action, which will be pronounced in future and even more so when her accusations are proved true within the Nigerian judiciary or frustrated from doing so.

I will need to refer to that bye-law when chanced in my spare time for better resolution of details. Having said that, this bye law which subjects the duration of suspension of a law maker according to what the Senate deems fit may not have been equitably applied, bad optics.

In fact, to put this another way, the process reeks of "even when ones accusatory claims are correct and valid, the rules can be weaponize against that member even when the erring is as a result of the claim in the first place".

I would argue they should have been both suspended, before this degeneration or at least considered that component during the application of her suspension. The optics is just bad, more for the Senate and its presiding officer, even with out the knowledge of the truth to her claims.

I am not sure you understand the scope of influence of the accusation.

Even the punishment for indiscipline you referenced , high-handed, why six months when I hear(haven't confirmed) even their rule ought to be around 14 days. And why deny representation from a senator for 6 months, incorrectly infererring Yeas and Nays?

donproject2:
I am not judging but this woman seems uncoth. She is a kind that thinks everyone must do her biddings because she is a lady and a fine lady at that.

It has been explained that what caused the real issue was that her sit was moved which is not uncommon in the house. She made a fuss and a scene about it, she was sent out. Then, she was going around saying that the Senate President wanted to sleep with her, who doesn't know that game?

She was then suspended, for what reason if you may ask? For being irresponsible to her position as a lawmaker, Federal Republic of Nigeria. Now, she wants to get sympathy of the international people, I guess she signed an oath before being accepted into the house when she was elected.

If the accusation holds weight and she indeed reported to the ethics committee and no
adequate recommendations or orientation where needed was not passed and acknowledged received by her then I stand by her thoroughly stirring the pot.



Raise their temperature Natasha make Dem get sense and be loyal to Nigerian citizens. See people we dey call honorables.... Shameful

Adebishow:
Oga, she was sanctioned for indiscipline and breaking the Senate Rules without remorse, apologies or respect.

The case of her sexual harassment accusations against the Senate President is still being investigated so what are you saying?

You refer to her self integrity like the Senate President and the Nigerian Senate too does not have self integrity to protect.

They put the Senate session where they discussed the Recommendations of the Senate Committee on ethics and privileges on TV live for all and Natasha herself to see. So why are you accusing them of non transparency.

What would you expect from the Senate to have been appropriate, ethical or shameless by you?

If they have integrity and wanted to preserve the same, the Senate president should not as a matter of principle during the investigation and secondly should be seen to sanction consequences on his accuser. Basically being judge in your own case, where is that done. No ethics there, no ethics there.

If it were truly been investigated, an automatic suspension of the Senate president should have followed while the investigation is carried out. No sanity of ethics in this omission of the application of this principle.
