Lack of good advisers and due consultations resulting in bad policies and regrettable policies.

Why is someone angry over an award? Does MKO get some stipends in his grave? Do his kids need the stipends? Why then is someone upset over this?

See how foolish this APC government is?

While scheming they forgot to check if the award they want to dole out as an empty gesture could be given to someone that isn't alive.

APC are so quick to do foolish things, then retract. It's like they don't think and plan. They just act

You are correct. They re just the same as PDP.

Hmmmm the elderly man says na corner of mouth person dey take chop kolanut
So yesterday we heard the news that June 12 is now democracy day
Same June 12 that the Yorubas stop observing after they won elections under APC in 2015.
And I watched Yorubas scream and dance
Ewedu and gbegiri was served free in all iya barsiratu amala joints.
Agberos gave free tickets
Even bisi our street prostitute allowed me to press her yansh for the first time.
Is this how gullible a whole tribe can be.
Suddenly buhari is the best thing after agbo jedi jedi
Even after he disgraced their demi god tinubu
When emir sanusi said Yorubas are the problem of Nigeria I was wondering how he came about his notion
How can a people forget so soon
Now the killings in the middle belt doesn't matter
The killings in ife doesn't matter
A traditional ruler of Yoruba culture was arrested like a common thief
Yet it doesn't matter
The killings in their farms
It doesn't matter
You see why most of us hate this tribe
How they are helping the north destroy the nation just for a few crumbs
All they say is OBJ didn't recognize MKO
Buhari has done it
So all his sins are forgiven
Now he will get Yoruba votes
South south south east
You see why we laugh at any handshake across the Niger
These people will never change
Their aim is to undermine us
Make sure we don't achieve anything
We should be wise
This is a wake up call
The Yorubas are not our friends
They hate us more than we know

Wait till pmb gives them stomach infrastructure, you will see them properly.

The only award that is designated as able to be given post humously is the Nigeria Star

(Reference - National Honours Act).

This does not mean the president could not have introduced an executive bill to amend the act prior.

Anyways those who want to eat dodo will eat dodo regardless.

.

Ps you CANNOT use executive orders to amend acts of Parliament - this just goes to show how the National Assembly is derided.

you have identified the real problem. the man always put the cart before the horse. going by the act, what he did is a slap on the rule of law, all in the name of politics. The man has no regard for due process, rather than sponsor a bill to the NASS to amend the act, explaining the purpose, he just does what he likes.

He keeps doing it and i know its a deliberate attempt to ridicule the NASS. No doubt he still wish he was a military head of state. you cant support democracy without recognising democratic institutions and authorities, no matter how good your intentions are.

nobody is against such but for God's sake, do it rightly. Anyone who challenges its legality would now be seen as enemy of progress and isn't that a divisive government tactics because people wont understand that the process is actually wrong.

dead people receiving award and political appointment from this current administration while the living are suffering generally and getting no awards. Are they trying to tell us that dead have a brighter future than the living or the dead are more important than the living?....
may God help us all

ON JUNE 12 DECLARATION AS PUBLIC

AS YOU HAVE BEGUN THE CONSTRUCTION of THE SOUTH EAST ROADS WHICH THEIR BROTHER JONATHAN FAILED TO DO ,

AS YOU COMMENCED THE SOUTH SOUTH OGONI CLEAN UP WHICH THEIR BROTHER AND SON JONATHAN UNDER THE PDP FAILED TO DO

AS YOU HAVE DEFEATED BOKO HARAM WHICH THEIR BROTHER DASUKI EMBEZZLED ITS FUNDS.

AND NOW HONOURED THE LATE SON OF THE SOUTHWEST WHICH THEIR FELLOW EGBA MAN OBASANJO FAILED TO DO OUR PRAYER IS FOR GOD TO CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN YOU AND PUT YOUR ADVERSARIES IN PERPETUAL SHAME AND IN RECOVERABLE .

HOPEFULLY AND BY GOD'S GRACE THE WHANTOM KILLINGS WILL STOP AND PERPETRATORS AND SPONSORS WILL PAY THE PENALTY .
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT FOR MAKING US PROUD!

No section of the constitution.

SmartMugu:
Why is someone angry over an award? Does MKO get some stipends in his grave? Do his kids need the stipends? Why then is someone upset over this?

yes by such declaration. Because, by such award, he just declared MKO, an ex-president and entitled to everything that comes with it.

Me, i dont have a problem with it, just the way they went about it. Its a brazen slap on our intelligence because of political reason and moreso, the people behind it.

If I say the Nigerian president is a slowpoke and a good for nothing air headed simpleton, some apc zombies would still defend him. How come he doesn't know that the national honors act states that the honor cannot be given posthumously to dead people and only ex servicemen can be given posthumously? More so, how do you award a dead man, the highest award in the land? Isn't this just ridiculous and outrightly stupid? How come nobody in government could point out the error before the so called president made the announcement? And then again, June 12 was announced as democracy day; how many democracy days are we going to have? What then happens to democracy day celebrated on May 29th? Everything about this government just screams "error, error, error, and more error".

Buhari is shiiiit as his government has complete disregard for the rule of law

APC are so foolish and some idiots who are dullards will still support them.You can't see someone who is intelligent praising Buhari because the person is intelligent enough to see if something is done in the right way but dullards won't do that and just sing praises of people who have breached our rule of law. When police arrest you unlawfully,you come to social media to shout.Why won't police breach human rights and law when the leaders you fools do the same thing and you don't talk. If Buhari likes make he perform 99% well and still breach human rights,I would vote him out.

Newpride:
Foolish and insatiable set of human being ...
If pmb had said he has no business with June 12, these same lots will be the one saying he doesn’t love democracy, when federal government didn’t declare 12 June public holiday, the federal gov was criticized.

nope, it would have been better for him to just declare an holiday in honour of MKO and no included any award. what was wrong in his act what not following due process as the act guiding national awards didnt mention anything about giving such awards post humously.

we must be honest with ourselves, its a good act done wrongly with bad motives to ridicule our democratic institutions.

jrusky:
Buhari is just desperate to win next election. Pls what is the usefulness given GFCR or GGGFF or GGF9 to dead man pls to what usefulness

So Buhari think given holiday or GGFF to Gani or Abiola will now make the SW vote for him Oh lord who are the advisers of Buhari Why is it that fulani and Hausa are so silly in reasoning for God sake

So now because those useless title the entire Yoruba will troop out to vote for you isn't Well let me not talk because I hate go tribal on issue that makes no sense but it would a big shame if Yoruba because of these silly title troop out to vote for Buhari again. This was how they allowed Tinubu to hijacked their region and he became the lord to be worship in SW except Ekiti and Ondo state but now Ekiti has decided to join Tinubu slaves as well it's a shame.

Buhari if you like go to Abiola tomb or Gani tomb and be sleeping their this is Nigeria not America if you died you died everything attached to you is dead and are no longer relevant it will all become once upon a time so this trick won't work and I learnt few dead body names from igboland and SS has be compiled as well for same useless title.

When GEJ needed your votes before discovering they're worthless, he buried Ojukwu in Nigerian colours, in a state burial with full national honours - that's a reformed rebel - not to talk of a champion of democracy like the great MKO.

And NOPE no eastern names are being compiled for "any useless title" - your 5% votes are inconsequential and politically irrelevant so no need.

The so called "Hausa and Fulani political reasoning" still manages to deliver destabilising uppercuts to embittered Igbos that have been wailing overnight so no wahala

Unconfirmed report had it that IPOB were planning secretly to celebrate June 12. The FG heard of it and capitalized on that advantage. Anybody thinking the president loves the South is being delusional.
He's only playing this divide-and-conquer strategy to win 2019 and I am afraid this might work. Any strategy to isolate the Igbo keeps getting churned out! In the end, he gets what he wants, another northerner in power comes to rescind the decision!!!

Without any prejudice,I make my submission:
1. Abiola was never declared a president elect not to talk of being ever sworn in as one.
2. He committed treason and for that Abacha had to put him in prison where, unfortunately, he died.
How then could the same government now confer an award meant for presidents on such a person- posthumously for that matter?
3. A learned former CJN has pointed out the illegality of such action but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. And some people are even rejoicing!
In which other countries in this world will such a thing happen? There are so many other ways to honor this man if the president thinks it's expedient.
I weep for my beloved country.

Actually you and your ilk are the ones that are ignorant of the law!

While Section 3, Paragraph 2 stated that the awards are to be received in person, which is the basis for the "not posthumous" scream, the very next Paragraph, Paragraph 3, stated clearly that

(3) If in the case of any person it appears to the President expedient[b] to dispense with the requirements of paragraph (2) of this article[/b], he may direct that that person shall be appointed to the rank in question in such a manner as may be specified in the direction.

That clearly, allows the President to suspend the provisions of Paragraph 2 if he so wishes.

You guys need to read the law COMPLETELY.

This post below nails it!

There is nothing in the act that explicitly says honours cannot be granted posthumously to a civilian. The only section of the act that refers to posthumous awards refers to armed officers and their acts in the presence of the enemy. This kind of bravery could reasonably lead to death hence it is specifically stated there that it may be awarded to a dead officer.

The point is, this is a grey area and you will struggle to win a case for or against based on current wording.

OK go to Court then

Buhari just deconstructed OBJ politically in the South West because this MKO's issue occupies a dear spot in the heart of most southerners.

OBJ fought tooth and nail to bury MKO'S memories but has failed woefully.

You know there such people. e.g Agbakoba, Ozekohme...

Dear, Kingibe is the only living beneficiary of these awards to Abiola (GCFR); Kingibe (GCON) and Gani (GCON).

Let it dawn on you that the dead has nothing to benefit from this cosmetics of awards. But, your guess is as good as mine: Kingibe will reap much much benefit from it.

eodavids:


You know there such people. e.g Agbakoba, Ozekohme...

Agbakogba will not because he wants to be president and he wont want to alienate the SW, Ozekhome may but no judge will rule in his favour because of the political implications. The law is ambiguous enough for the supreme court to err on the side of caution. Like it or not a precedent has been set, national awards will henceforth be granted post-humously.
