So I am making use of my friends Account to post this as my nairaland account (naijaedutech) was banned for allegedly posting 'wrong' information.


I made a post on this forum about an hour ago that Bukola Saraki has been 'IMPEACHED' and I was banned.

So I want to ask the moderator that banned me to point out what is false about the information I posted.

According to the Oxford Dictionary the word Impeach means "To charge (the holder of a public office) with misconduct."

The Marriam Webster dictionary defines it as : to charge (a public official) with a crime done while in office OR to cause doubts about the truthfulness of (a witness, testimony, etc.)

Is it my FAULT that some Nigerians do not know what that word means?

This is how Farooq Kperogi explained it in his Daily trusr article http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/sunday/index.php/politics-of-grammar/20217-common-election-related-grammatical-errors-nigerian-journalists-and-politicians-make

Impeach. Nigerians understand the word “impeach” to mean “remove from office.” But that is not what it means. To impeach a government official is to formally charge them with a wrongdoing. After impeachment, they will be tried and either acquitted (if they are not found guilty) or removed from office (if they are found guilty).
So, in 2006, Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose wasn’t just impeached; he was impeached AND removed. Ten years earlier in America, Bill Clinton was impeached BUT acquitted. Removal from office is not the only outcome of impeachment, as the Clinton example showed.

So what wrong did I do to merit a ban?

compare the definition in bigass' post (which she doesnt seem to understand) with the op's definition.

Saraki's current predicament is not impeachment, however, he might eventually be impeached if found guilty of his current allegations.

I understand my post very well but look at definition 3 in that picture or this.

The only reason why OP is wrong is impeachment starts from the parliament not court
