I am right there at the moment. I will be going to Tunga soon

DriveByKiller:
Noted.

No senate member, not the senate president or deputy senate president has immunity.

If you still insist on this path of ignorance then show us the section in the constitution that convey immunity to the senate president

What you forget is that, they too are elected officials.

ufotunang:
..tell me where in the constitution senators have immunity..which section

Open your mind to learn. Constitution is very supreme. But, everything was not binded to Constitution alone. People of a culture designed the Constitution, and the culture was made superior than the Constitution. The subject of Constitution is only for the abuse of power, not for crime, or other related offences..

ufotunang:
... according to the research I did at Google..they said senators have parliamentary privileges..

You can just had to your knowledge. Not only to the lawmakers, even extended to the judiciary. Except for the executive heads that used to made public and very common. It's different entity with distinct functions but shared almost thesame privileges.

It's not termed immunity.. The clause is termed parliamentary privilege.

DriveByKiller:
you mean you don't actually know and you are this bold?

Sec 308 of the1999 constitution carter's to only president, vice, governors and their deputies.

All other elected officials are without immunity.

I hope you have seen the former senate president Ekweremadu chased by effc and law enforcement both home and abroad.

When last did you read anything outside Nairaland?

First, Ike Ekweremadu was never the president of the senate. He was the deputy to the senate president.

Secondly, prosecution and his jail term was after he left senate.

ufotunang:

Then, you should tell us too, where a sitting senator was once indicted or prosecuted before the court of law.

[quote author=Trustyourself post=134897657][/quote]

You are right if it's in term of supremacy but when it comes to senate, senate rules are considered supreme, expecially if it has to do with in-house matters or affairs. That is why they didn't use the Nigeria constitution to suspend Natasha, eventhough they claimed to equal under Nigeria constitution.

DJInfluence:
Though it's a waste of money and time but it's not for the reason you gave. Senators immunity are for things said on the house floor not outside.

Where is the proof?

grandstar:


Senators don't enjoy immunity.

Who told you that? How did you know about that?

DriveByKiller:
immunity does not extend to senators

Typical Nairalander

Where did you read that?

Trustyourself:


Go and read section 308 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. That particular section will guide your thoughts on who are entitled to be under the umbrella of immunity.

Blantant lies. Forget Nigeria constitution. Senate standing rules and order is much more stronger than that. Senators are not under the oath to that. They have their rules considered stronger and much enshrined than Nigeria constitution. You can not file a lawsuit against a sitting Senator.

tomju2:

Senators don't have immunity. Stop misleading people.

Blatant lie.

michroskrve:
You see your Brain. Go school you refused

He is right. You just have to be sure before you conclude.

ufotunang:
.senators have no immunity

This is not true.

Helpfromabove1:



Were did u get this from , a complete wrong information

Even senate president ( number 3 citizen no get immunity)

I agree its just a waste of effort base on the current judicial romance between APC and the judicial

Anyway make lawyers chop small

HE IS RIGHT. YOU CAN NOT INDICT A SITTING SEANATOR.

patrickcollins:
who told you that

Yes, he's right. Parliamentarians do have some sorts of that, not termed immunity, but parliamentary privilege, even extended to the judiciary, as judiciary privilege. You should imagine, how people that will propose and enact laws that safeguard any of the executive heads wouldn't applied thesame to themselves first? So, it's just a different choice of clause.

loffyloffy:


You cannot sue people for expressing opinion though, you can only challenge facts and that is if you can prove that those facts are wrong and deliberately used to discredit you.

'Gold digger''serial liar' are just opinions.

'Mother of six from different men' is a statement of fact, she only needs to show us that those statements are not true.

'Falsely accusing Reno' is a fact, she have to show the court that the statement is incorrect.

'Blackmailing her current husband' is a fact, sha have to show us, she didn't do that.

She also have to show the amount of damage done to her to justify the payment of N5b.

I think she just like suing people, none of the cases is going anywhere..That is an opinion by the way, she can't sue me for my opinion

Senator Nwaebonyi go just dey laugh now.. Na waiting him bin dey wait for all along. He want to carry attention come him side. Onyekachi no be mumu now, Natasha don do mistake again. Onyekachi Nwaebonyi sef na Barrister lols... Natasha no get sense at all. People wey they push am go soon leave am, maybe na even Obi Ezekwesili advice her, lols. She go cry blood tire.

fergie001:

This is not exactly true.
They have what we call Parliamentary immunity. That immunity is during plenary or committee sittings, however, once they are out of the SHoA or NASS premises, they are on their own and can be held liable.


I am making a correction not representing her in Court, it seems you will do better in that regard.

Natasha didn't really no much about constitution and even senate rules now. That is why she's suspended, to go home take her time to study senate rules and learn their ethics. Ireti Kingibe said it, that she didn't know much about the rule of that floor, they have to put her through and through so that she can get it right. She is still, new to the floor... lols

Thundafireseun:
This life nah 2face ….. 😆😆😆😆

One Natasha Dey Give Akpabio problems

Another Natasha Dey Give 2Baba joy overdose….

The damage they have done to Natasha as a name in this country, no be small. Anytime you heard Natasha as a name, you have to be very careful and do thorough findings. These people have just done damage to that name.

valentineuwakwe:
Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi is just trying to cover up hiz principal n we all understand but i hope our leaders will have a little conscience in all they do in this country!

It's not "covering up".. It is " defending ". He's an eye witness, and the closest in between. He's the one standing in for him against any opened allegation that required his presence. Akpabio is matured, and he's handling the case with full maturity, even against his known enemies that are pushing Natasha.

Uselesss entities... Awon mashanfani

What gives them the headache now is Tinubu. They are busy strategising and manipulating on how to defeat Tinubu. Why not put thesame heads together and channel thesame energies to and push for a better Nigeria. Must it be about who rule? Or Must it matters where the power goes? Instead to use thesame energy and influence to better the lives of their communities, they are busy wasting their time and resources.

That is how they will still get problem with whosoever that will comes within their coalition if eventually they even succeed.

Nice one Justice Nyako.. If this woman have something tenable, she wouldn't have let this come this far... We could read alot from her emotion. If she's obviously have something concrete to nail Akpabio, she would/should have proof it, even Akpabio daring to do that to do the public.. Yet, there's never, or nothing like that and the whole thing keeps lingering like Nigeria economy solely dependent on it.

We'll expect everything gradually phase off with time now and peace will be restored with time, if she's wouldn't defile or contempt court order too.

Enough of this Natasha Apoti brouhahaha.. She's gotten the fame she wanted already. She's accomplished her mission.

In yoruba land "he who cries while narrating an offence, he's to be suspected to cause a division". It is an adage.

You don't need to go this far, even crying in public, to gain public trust. Solid evidences are all around you that you've known to be a serial blackmailer, but no single evidence, not even an ounce of it, to proof everything wrong. That is bad.

This Abbo or wetin be him name no get sense. No be Akpabio orchestrated natasha suspension, it was Senator Mungunro. And the senate majority suspended her, not for harassment but for gross misconduct. Akpabio only affirm, what the house resolution was. That is all. Wawa!

I am opening sterling right away.

Na mumu dey worry you. 17 to 18million naira accumulated, and even resigned from a well paying job? Wetin you lost for UK wey you wan go find? Atleast 40% of the money go be your hard earned money. Instead of you to invest it in your home country, get to start a viable business, if you no get idea, do consult.. You wan japa. Mtchew... You're stranded now because you lacked focus, and you've just become liable, even to yourself. God will help you Oo.

Lazy generation, everything must come on a platter of Gold. The era of free pounds and dollars are gone, White now are guarding their funds and even their borders, with strong restriction orders. Una no go learn. The whole world now is so small that you can reach out to an entire world and run a global business if you put your heart to your ambition. But, street pictures dey sweet you, seen big castles dey deceived you. E no easy anywhere fa! You just have to grind and always pray for grace to reward your effort.

No vex O.. I just don't like seeing this kind post, e dey pain me enter bone reach the marrow.

CHEMISTRY..... Chaaaiiii

plouchea24:



Even in the senate... He presides like senate is a playground lols

So therefore, even with all the allegations levelled against him. He's never move or shake him one bit. And even the NATASHA, have no solid evidence to tender as proof for her allegations. I am a man, and I know how easily a woman can make a man fall a victim if she want to. Either through WhatsApp texts.. to screenshot or tease him to send Voice note or do video.. But, NATASHA have none.

ForzaMilano:
Akpabio is a randy simp that goes around making stupid sexual jokes with random women

Even in the senate... He presides like senate is a playground lols

owobokiri:

So why is Abiola being immortalised?
The results of the elections were never fully announced and by law, Abiola was never declared the winner, wnd ao not the presidentelect. But you created a democracy for for him!
What did you say about "rewarding results"? Where are the official results that made Abiola the winner?

Lols... I will refer you to the back page of Babangida's newly released book "A JOURNEY IN SERVICE" termed "APPENDIX". IBB detailed the full NEC official results of the June 12, 1993 elections there. Abiola is immortalised because he was brave and fought the good fight for Democracy even to the last breath in his body. He knew he won the election, it was evident, he won, and he was brave enough to parade himself as president. He chosed to substitute or laid his life down for the birth of Democracy. He could have chose to be a coward too, he could have remain silent with the death threat. Nwosu didn't deserve to be posthumously award such a national honour because he didn't complete his assignment.

owobokiri:
Those of them that were active then, what did they do? Nwosu did his best by providing the most solid electoral formula in Nigerias political history. The "Option A4" was totally responsible for Abiolas supposed electoral victory. It was a masterstroke against potential riggings. He was an umpire. And he did his job to the best of his abilities by sticking to announcing the results until Abacha and co started threatening him. Agbadorian reprobates that only fights with their mouth want to use his head to break the coconut.

Meanwhile none of them stayed to face the wrath of the military immediately the results were cancelled and Abacha went haywire. All of them made a beeline for Seme border and ran as far as their stolen loot could carry them. You want Nwosu to challenge Abacha while you are in London shouting obscenities from the BBC? Why not come down to your Lagos and challenge Abacha yourself? Even the current president that parades around as a pro-democracy activist extraordinaire, was busy then at Chicago doing what him and Escobar know how to do best.

ALWAYS LEARN TO READ IN BETWEEN THE LINES... "HISTORY DON’T REWARD EFFORT, HISTORY ONLY REWARD RESULT". It would've been better for him to have declare the result and face the consequences like imprisonment as Abiola did.. Rather than acted coward. He could have acted brave, even without declaring the result, by making a positive statement, and resign his position instead of acted coward even to his death.
