Politics / Re: Court Reinstates Philip Shaibu As Edo Deputy Governor by bjtinz: 4:29pm On Jul 17 |
Zouzer:
Impeachment is a political matter anyway. A governor or his deputy can only be impeached on allegation of gross misconduct.
Now, S188 (11) of the constitution actually gives the state house of assembly the discretion to determine what can amount to gross misconduct. The provision itself only gives a sketchy definition of gross misconduct.
"In this section - โgross misconductโ means a grave violation or breach of the provisions of this Constitution or a misconduct of such nature as amounts in the opinion in the House of Assembly to gross misconduct."
Ideally, anything can be deemed to be his offense as per this provision.
The ouster clause on the court's jurisdiction on impeachment matters extends to the nature of the the allegations. It's not the court's business to ascertain the merit of the allegations.
Even in the said Inakoju's case, one of the instances cited by the court which can amount to gross misconduct is changing of political parties (defection).
So if defection, as politically contentious as it is, can amount to gross misconduct in the opinion of the house, why can't ordinary aspiration of a deputy governor to contest for the governorship under the same party be counted as same?
I feel this decision was given per incuriam and will be upturned on appeal.

Politics / Re: Court Reinstates Philip Shaibu As Edo Deputy Governor by bjtinz: 4:27pm On Jul 17 |
This has been debated severally in past. The court erred here.
If the house in its wisdom determines that an action amounting to gross misconduct has been committed, then the courts have no powers to interfere.
Their (court) role is simply to ensure due process has been followed. 1 Like |

Una don come with this nonsense again. Imagine someone saying "a man of 50yrs still changing diapers", seriously what the blithering fXXXk has that got to do with anything?, so fugging what?? Have you not seen grandparents caring for their children's children? Well I have!! plenty, in fact. Like I would strongly encourage people to be careful of the arrant nonsense you read online. I'm in my forties, not married, not particularly handsome ![tongue](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/tongue.png) , yet I I cannot count the long list of potential wife materials literally begging to attach my surname to theirs. When a call is made for people "who will find a partner this year", among those that rush out, which gender is the majority? Yes, you know the answer. So why keep deceiving ourselves online. why WHY WHY?? FYI, as man born by a woman and also with sisters, I would never condone mindless bashing of our dear female folks; however what I would also never condone is fake, twisted narrative just to sooth the ego of your online followers with the pink "f" after their names. Truth is, it doesn't help them. So why have I not married? Well its complex, and a story for another day. Just suffice to say, its a man's world, has been and always will be. Deal with it. |

blacknp: Ignorance is a curse, the state Governor has no business with the local government.
It is the state house of assembly that has the powers that govern the local government.
Read by themselves to study, they will never do. for others to presume and tell them, is what they prefer. Ok. So lets assume the state government no such powers. However state assembly who you said has the powers has had the rug pulled from the feet by the courts, effectively nullifying the tenure elongation for the LGA heads. So now you have a gap in the leadership of the LGA whose tenure expired yesterday. What would you have the governor do? |

@topic, there are no quick fixes. They can artificially fix the rates ('defend the naira') in short-term, however in the long run, the journey certain decisive steps must be taken:
*Get our refineries working asap. Despite denials, it's obvious we are still spending $$ on subsidy *Increase local productivity: tackle power, strangulating taxes, insecurity, etc *Nigerians should tame their thirst for foreign goods. *Abolish foreign trips for public officers |

Macmilla: What a waste of time. All of you are not serious. The fact is that anything you chose to chat with me about is not that important and is definitely not urgent. If it were urgent, you will call me. So it means it can wait. That is for those that will cry I took 1hr to respond. As for how I respond it is my business. If I chat you and you have a lot to say to me, please by all means use a voice note. I really want you to say all you have to say and not give me some shitty summary just because you can't type long. If I can't listen to it, then like I said earlier, it can wait. In our self righteousness, we have forgotten that speech is a much better communication tool that text. The tone of your voice can communicate your feelings and mindset, those things you can not type. There are a lot of things that can be misinterpreted when typed but when said, the intended meaning can not be mistaken. What would chose? For someone to type "I lv u", or for the same person to record a voice note saying "I love you" in a romantic way. I will definitely choose the later. So all of you complaining about VN should rest. If you want formal communication, then call. If you choose the informal route, then let the other person choose how he wants it. It must not be your way. As for the voice noters, try to understand that the dude chatting you up could be lazying around and bored and just needs the chat to while away time. So he wants the chat to be long and if you use VN, you would be cutting the chat short and he doesn't want that. So indulge him if you can. For instance this kin long tory, personally I'll prefer as a VN, that way I can be doing other things while listening #nooffence 3 Likes |
