I resume work as the president- Buhari issues letter of resumption to NASS.

Buhari has transmitted resumption letter to NASS. President Muhammadu Buhari has transmitted a letter of resumption to the National Assembly, intimating the law makers of his return from medical vacation in London, an official has confirmed. Alhaji Suleman Kawu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, House of Representatives, announced this on Monday, during an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja. Kawu said that the President, in compliance with section 145 of the 1999 constitution as amended, had fulfilled the constitutional responsibility by writing to intimate the House of his resumption, with effect from Monday, Aug. 21, 2017. According to him, even though the National Assembly is on recess, there is a robust administrative machinery in place that would ensure that the President’s letter is properly attended to. “The most important issue is that the President has transmitted the letter in a prompt and timely fashion,’’ Kawu said. Meanwhile, a member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Israel Famurewa (Osun-APC), has advocated that the President be allowed some time to rest. “I believe Mr President still needs some time to rest, considering the fact that he is just coming back from the hospital; the Vice President should still do most of the work. “The President is on seat and should be able to give direction as to where and how to go,’’ Famurewa said. While appreciating God for Buhari’s safe return, the lawmaker said that God answered the prayers of Nigerians while the President was away. “Going by the series of rumour that dominated everywhere about his health status, we thank God that at least he came back alive. “We missed him as a person, but we had an Acting President who held forth and did credibly well. “The President is back; I believe things will now be faster than while he was away,” he said. The lawmaker commended the President for emphasising unity in his Monday broadcast, saying that such thrust had  punctured any thought of dividing Nigeria. “Those agitating for division don’t know what war is all about; if they had witnessed the civil war, they will not be clamouring for something that can result to war. “The strength of this nation lies on its unity and oneness; that is our greatest asset. We must hold on to it because it can catapult us to any level we want to go,’’ Famurewa said.

what hapoens to Nigerians killed Ghana? House committee asks FG.

House Committee seeks FG’s intervention on alleged killing of 5 Nigerians in Ghana The House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora on Monday told the Federal Government to intervene urgently in the alleged killing of five Nigerians in Ghana. The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Rita Orji, made the call at a news conference in Abuja. The lawmaker, who did not provide the identities of the five Nigerians or the circumstances that led to their killing, said that the incident occurred in Sowutoum, Ghana on Aug. 17. Orji expressed worry that issues that concerned Nigerians with nationals of their host countries were often left to degenerate to the point of claiming lives. The committee chairman remarked that such incidents were frequent because the laws binding African countries together had often been segregated when Nigerians were involved. She urged the Federal Government to insist on full autopsy report on any Nigerian killed extra-judicially outside the country to check unsubstantiated frequent claims of drug involvement by the Nigerians. Orji appealed for proper funding of the “Stay Home and Build Project,” initiated with the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisations. She noted that the project was meant to help unemployed Nigerians in the Diaspora to learn trades and return home to establish their businesses. The lawmaker advised unemployed Nigerians in the Diaspora to return home, instead of being subjected to inhumane treatments. On Aug. 16, a Nigerian resident in South Africa, Mr Uchenna Elor, was similarly killed by the South African police, bringing the number of Nigerians killed in that country within the past two years to 117. Many Nigerians in the Diaspora have often been at the receiving end of harsh treatments by their host communities, leading to the deaths of some of the Nigerians.  

RELIGION AND POLITICS IN NIGERIA- A great mistake which can not be easily shapen. A britain fault.

RELIGION AND POLITICS IN NIGERIA- A great mistake which can not be easily shapen. A britain fault. edited by ALEX .C.O. The two themes can hardly be separated as a component of a society. The religious practice of a given society has it as one of its main sources of the constitution, which governs the political behaviour of the society. If critically saying, the politics must go in line with the provisions of the religious norms. Now, in the case of Nigeria, what becomes her fate as she has more than one religious practice which is part of her political crisis and instability? The problem of church and state has to do with institutions and the spheres of actions that are appropriate for each. Here, the concept of separation is valid as Kenneth Cauthen notes: Citizens who belong to religious groups are also members of the circular society which the dual association generates complications. It can be noted above, that what Cauthen said is an undoubted truth. Religion has greater influence in the behavior of individuals, these individuals also influence the politics of the society. The basic principle of the separation of religion and politics is widely misunderstood and misinterpreted, if one examines its root in Islam and governance. The idea of separation of religion and the state is significantly different among christians and christian nations among their musleum counterpart. It has been a long standing issue right from the history of the world, even in creation. A spritually minded individual will trace the war among the two religious group in Nigeria to the eras of Abraham and his sons. Historians and philosophers will lay the blames of political instability of Nigeria to the rough amalgamation done or carried out by the Britains in 1914. These two religious groups can never stay in peace in a cycled entity like Nigeria. Check the differences in beliefs, norms, values, cultures. The Christians have a diverse understanding of religion so to the musleum, whereas, these religious groups come together to make a united entity with different constitutional beliefs. That is why the issue of politics and religion and its impact in Nigeria has been a long standing issue. The impact of religion on politics in Nigeria, where roughly half the population is musleum and other half christian, has been an important part of academic discourse and commentaries. Kalu .O. stated that "religion is woven into the fabrics of politics and provides the compelling touchstone of legitimacy or the love of the ruler by the ruled. Considering the secularism and the multi-ethnic composition of Nigerian state, the undeniable link between religion and politics has been a catalyst for political crisis, instability and intra-ethnic and religious tension. Alex Jude opined that "the issues of catalysts in Nigerian politics arose from the link in politics and religion in Nigeria. And can be traceable to the blind inter-mingling and togetherness of Christians and muslems by the Britain". He went further saying that "the Britain out of selfish desire mingled and tagged these societies one so as to gain what has always been their motive- the economic desire and the labour force". Toyin Falola's violence in Nigeria reveals the central role that religion plays in the ethnic nationalism and violence that has confronted Nigeria since the 1980's. Indeed, major cases of violence in the 1980's and 1990's including the Maitatsine riot in Kano which claimed thousands of lives have a direct link to the mjor division in Nigeria. The worst of such incident in the city of Kaduna in 2000 resulted in the massacre of thousands of people. If I may say, Politics in Nigeria is bestowed on the shoulders of religion. And for there to be a peaceful co-existence, each of these groups should be given a considerate territory.
