Queria tomar um porre do velho Buk... Isso eu nao posso negar. ele apareceu na minha vida quando eu mais precisava. E no final, acho que sempre foi isso: ele nao era nada do que eu queria, mas foi tudo que eu mais precisava.E ele me deu toda a paixao que sempre sonhei. Sabe aquela paixao dos filmes calientes torridos de Hollywood? Brigas, impaciencia, gargalhadas, olhares e um desejo dificil de explicar.Tudo sempre com uma intensidade que jamais vivi.Aos 30 (talvez um pouco mais), vivi o romance da adolescencia que nunca tive a oportunidade de viver. Nunca tive tanto odio e tanto zelo com alguem. Nunca quis alguem tao perto e tao longe.Ao longo do tempo, vivi todos os sentimentos com esse homem.Todos.Descobri o ciume, um sentimento terrivel que nao permite a entrega que todo meu corpo me implorava pra ter. Descobri o medo infundado, a vontade desesperada, a saudade sem fim e a dor surda de ficar sem.E ao seu modo, fui amada. Fui amada, odiada, venerada, perseguida, agredida, desejada. Disso sempre sentirei falta. Poucas pessoas (nesse mundo) podem amar tao doce e infantilmente quanto ele me amou.Nos vivemos tudo que se pode viver em 8 longos meses. e tudo que nao vivi em 30 anos. Experimentei de tudo. Tolerei mais do que achava que fosse capaz, mas tambem nunca fui tao perdoada.Quando olho pra tras, lembro dos ombros largos e dos bracos fortes que me abracavam tao suavemente, o cheiro, a voz, os olhos e tudo que eu amei com toda minha vida.Mas lembro muito tambem da alegria que vivi e do grande amor que senti.Sei que foi carne, mas sei que nao foi so carne.Vivemos todas as fases que os grandes amantes vivem. Tentamos, desistimos, empurramos com a barriga, voltamos, brigamos, nos machucamos e depois de tudo, tentamos ainda mais.Ambos sabemos que nao havia como dar certo. A cada termino, ficava mais claro e ficava mais caro continuar. Mas o vicio que eu tinha dele, nao me deixava raciocinar. Nunca fui tao passional. Nunca fui tao irracional.Isso me serviu muito pra aprender a nao julgar tao mal quem esta preso a situacoes assim. Foi bom precisar de alguem, nao poder viver sem, viver o relacionamento mais intenso que ja vivi. Eu sofri muito. Mas nao me arrependo. Ainda sofro. E continuo sem me arrepender.Porque nunca me senti tao viva, vulneravel e feminina.Esse relacionamento me custou muito. Nao acredito mais que va sentir essas coisas novamente. Conforme me afasto dele, me afasto tambem da pureza que eu tinha, da facilidade que eu tinha de acreditar que existia alguem pra mim. Nao sei se o verei novamente. Nao sei se poderei olhar pra ele e ver um homem como outro qualquer.Mas espero que um dia ele saiba o que significou pra mim. O mito que foi. E que eu tenha sido um pouco disso pra ele tambem.E que a dor desse vicio va embora logo. Antes que eu desista de desistir. De tudo, e aquele olhar o que nunca vou esquecer. Aquela batalha, ora o amor ganha, ora o odio vence.
Seus olhos eram uma arena de muitas lutas.Ele era meu rei e eu sua majestade. E por um curto momento foi tudo perfeito. Entao o mundo inteiro caiu sobre nossas cabecas e nossos coracoes ainda tao frageis.O manto era pesado demais. Mas ainda havia algo porque lutar. Algo sagrado no meio do caos, no meio de um monte de lama e desespero que jamais imaginei que viveria.E quando eu desisti completamente, so entao eu compreendi. Compreendi que ali naquele barraco simples que suas majestades estiveram havia tudo que precisavamos.Prefiro acreditar que forcas conspiraram contra, porque tudo que aconteceu nao foi normal. Nao teve "era uma vez". Teve so os piores dramas, as dores excruciantes, as loucuras mais desumanas, as hemorragias mais assassinas e por fim a morte nao pareceu tao ruim.Mas ele era minha majestade tambem.Eu tive que matar pra verE eu tambem morri.Acho que entendi finalmente que o jarro quebrado nao sera o mesmo e provavelmente nunca sera nada. Talvez seja melhor aceitar que ele sera jogado no lixo com os restos podres de comida e tudo que nao deu certo.Precisa-se de muito mais que amor pra se perdoar.Entao me apego ao que aprendi sobre entrega, sobre reconhecer e abracar quando encontrar em alguem tudo que se passa uma vida procurando.Sou boa e ma.Sou a culpada e sou a cura.Pelo menos eu consegui chorar. E consegui mostrar que, a um preco alto demais, eu me transformei exatamente no que ele sonhou.Mas mesmo em meio a tanta dor e com um coracao despedacado, escolho deixa-lo ir...Talvez pra um caminho melhor, um castelo mais bonito do que o que construi pra ele.Porque sei que meu castelo nojento e desprezivel foi o melhor castelo que poderia fazer.E foi pra ele.Eu nao quero mais fazer castelos.Oh you were my majestyAnd could be forever.
Judicial Committee. Taking a look at the attributes of a Written Constitution with example from that of Nigeria; it is usually written down in a single document, and can be easily procured and consulted on any issue covered by it, although other document or statutes may be incorporated into it by reference in its provisions such as the Land Use Act, National Youth Service Corps Act, Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and so forth. Section 15(5) CFRN 1999 without the amendment in Item 60 Exclusive Executive list, which empowers the ICPC Act the and Fundamental Procedure Rule, which gives deducibility to the constitution, implies that section 15(5) authorizing the ICPC Act to fight against corruption or eradicating it is non-justiciable or that the ICPC Act and the Fundamental Procedure Rule are null and void as it will contradict section 6(6)(c) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria. And so adopting the Customary Court of Rivers State Edict No. 8 of 1987 without amendment to the words Military administrator implies that the Chairman can only be appointed by a military administrator and it contradicts section 1(2) CFRN 1999 that states that The federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed, nor any person or group of persons take control of the Government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provisions of this constitution. I will say that the military influenced the 1979 and 1999 constitution to a great extent to favour their stay in office; therefore I will conclude that the 1979 and the 1999 Constitutions summoned by the military is not autochthonous, and so in pari pasu, it made the 1922 constitution up to 1960 not to be autochthonous because the colonial masters that summoned these constitutions also made them to favour their stay in office. The only constitution that was done by the civilian administration in Nigeria was the Republican Constitution of 1963. The 1963 constitution was a replica of the previous ones; the administrators of the 1963 government were mainly occupied with securing their offices as president and prime-minister. And so the 1999 Constitution needs some amendments.The major accomplishment of 1999 Constitution was to make chapter II and IV of the constitution, which deals on the Fundamental Objectives of the State and Fundamental Rights to be non-justiciable. That is, an individual who feels he or she is denied of these rights cannot seek justice in a court of justice.Many people have various reasonable contributions to make that may take the country forward, after all is stated in Section 59(2) of the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (CFRN) that A bill may originate in either the Senate or the House of Representatives and shall not become law unless it has been passed and, except as otherwise provided by this section and section 59 of this Constitution, assented to it, and in unity with the provisions of this section. (A bill can be sponsored to either of the Houses by citizens of this country). Different arguments have been made as to the autochthonous
nature of the constitution of Nigeria. The society is dynamic and evolutionary, and the indomitable Lord Denning Mr. succinctly captured this point when he said It must be remembered that it is not within human powers to foresee manifold sets of facts which may arise, and even if it were, it is not possible to provide for them in terms free from all ambiguities. The English Language is not an instrument of Mathematical precision. Hence, there is the need to constantly review and amend the constitution to bring it up to date with the present realities so as to reflect the contemporary will of the people. I, Damian Chidiebere Henry Dike, hereby make my submission for the amendment of these sections.By virtue of section 26 CFRN 1999, which deals on citizenship by registration, says that- 26(1) CFRN 1999, Subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, a person to whom the provisions of this section apply may be registered as citizen of Nigeria, if the president is satisfied that-(a) He is a person of good character(b) He has shown a clear intention of his desire to be domiciled in Nigeria; and(c) He has taken the Oath of Allegiance prescribed in the Seventh Schedule to this Constitution.26(2) CFRN 1999, The provisions of this section shall apply to-(a) Any woman who is or has been married to a citizen of Nigeria.(b) Every person of full age and capacity born outside Nigeria any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria.The issue here is on section 26, sub (2), paragraph (a). To understand this section better we will have a look at this legal poser by Barr. John U Eke.Legal poser. Kehinde (Female) and Taiwo (Male) are Identical twins, whose parents are from and indigenous community in Ondo State of Nigeria. They were born in USA and had their education in USA where Taiwo met and married a young white Americn lady called Mo from a rich family engaged in petroleum business. Kehinde got to know Mos brother Garry who fell in love with Kehinde and later married Kehinde. Many years later they all decided to return to Nigeria to live and continue the oil business in Nigeria (The 6th largest oil producing country of the world). Kehinde discovers that as she put it, the Nigerian Government is discriminating against her and Garry by not giving them the same rights as her brother Taiwo and Mo. Kindly advice Kehinde and Garry as to Citizen(I) Garrys citizenship right(II) Whether there is a breach of Kehindes fundamental and other rights?(III) Is Mo and her brother Garry entitled to Nigerian citizenship? If so what type? Solution. (I) From the provision of section 26 on citizen by registration, Garry does not have any citizen right in Nigeria but his sister Mo has citizen rights in Nigeria because the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria has said so in 26(2) CFRN 1999, The provisions of this section shall apply to-(a) Any woman who is or has been married to a citizen of Nigeria. The section intentionally omitted the
word man; the wording should have been any woman or man.(II) There is breach of Kehindes fundamental and other right contained in section 42(1) CFRN 1999 of Chapter IV of Fundamental Rights of this same constitution, states that A citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of Origin, sex, religion or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person. (III) Mo and Garry are entitled to citizen by registration and naturalization respectively. Garry is entitled to citizenship by naturalization contained in section 27 CFRN 1999. And Section 27(2) of this section states that No person shall be qualified to apply for the grant of a certificate of naturalization, unless he satisfies the president that-(g)(II) He resided in Nigeria for a continuous period of twelve months, and during the period of twenty years immediately preceding that period of twelve months he has resided in Nigeria for periods amounting in the aggregate to not less than fifteen years. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education; Linda Brown, the plaintiff appellant in the case, then a little girl, applied for admission to an all white in the rural Tupeka, Kansas, USA, where she lived with her parents, and was refused admission on the ground of colour, being an African American. The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) took up the matter as a legal aid case and brought action in court challenging the refusal. Thurgood Marshall the NAACP and who later became the first African American justice of the Supreme Court where the Supreme Court led by Earl Warren, lawyer, former Attorney-General, and former Governor of California, and Chief Justice of United States, in an unanimous decision on May 17, 1954, outlawed racial segregation by overruling Plessy v. Ferguson decided in 1896 and held: in favour of Brown, that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional and a violation of the 14th Amendment clause of the constitution of the United States of America, which guarantees to all citizens equal protection of the laws of the United States, and the citizenship right are to be abridged. And so what are we still waiting for before we will amend, repeal, annul or void section 26 of CFRN 1999, as it is unconstitutional and violates section 42(1) CFRN 1999 and the citizenship right in Nigeria. (2) Another provision of the constitution that should be looked into is the section concerning the duty or function of the Vice-President of Nigeria. Section 141 CFRN 1999, says There shall be for the Federation Vice-President. Section 142(1) CFRN 1999, states that In any election to which the forgoing provisions of this part of this Chapter relate, a candidate for an election to the office of President shall not be deemed to be validly nominated unless he nominates another candidate as his associate from the same political party for his running for the office of President, who is to occupy the office of Vice-President and that candidate shall be deemed to have been duly elected to the office of the
Vice-President if the candidate for election to the office of President who nominated him as such associate is duly elected as president in accordance with the provision aforesaid.The constitution recognized the office of the President and office of the Vice-President but it assigned no function to the office, unlike the Vice-Presidents of some other countries, including that of North America that has functions assigned to their Vice-Presidents. In the case of A. G Federation and Abubakar, the Supreme Court posited that The Nigerian constitution does not assign any specific role to the Vice-President. The role which the Vice-President is to perform is limited to what the President assigns to him just like the Ministers who are appointed by the President (but the Vice-President is not appointed like the Ministers). And it must be taken into cognizance that if a function is to be created for the Vice-President, amendment to accommodate the Vice-President must be made to Section 5(1)(a) CFRN 1999, which says Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the executive powers of the Federation- Shall be vested in the President and may, subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the Federation; and Bear in mind also that an amendment to section 5(1)(a) CFRN 1999 will entail the amendment of some other sections of this constitution that has been assigned to the President.
harm. While the Economist John Maynard Keynes the son of eminent economist, John Neville Keynes, a lecturer in economics and Logic at Cambridge University, but was educated in Cambridge in Mathematics and Probability Theory, argued that there was potential instability in a capitalist economy which cannot be corrected by the Free Market Mechanism. Therefore there was need for government intervention through the use of Fiscal Policy to stimulate aggregate demand. Fiscal Policy refers to measures which are geared at the attainment of desired changes in the national economy through the key instruments of government revenue generated by means of taxation and expenditure programmes. Economists such as Mac Chaney and Martin viewed the economy as relatively unstable; therefore, policy makers should use monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the economy. If this is not done, the end result will be unnecessary insufficient fluctuations in output, employment and inflation. I was tempted to put up a publication three weeks ago to offer my opinion on the issue of the Nigerian Government fixing a rate for the exchange of the countrys currency. Initially, basing my argument on the rule of Demand and Supply, I was of the opinion that the regulation of the countrys currency should be left to be regulated by free market operation. But the problem with this principle would be that if eventually the circumstance was resolved in this way, it will take a longer time to achieve.Three days after I decided not to write my publication, I listened to an interview on the radio news programme with one of those persons who do currency exchange at the roadsides, who the news broadcaster called the DDC or DCC if I am not mistaken. In the interview, the man that changes currency for people when asked why their exchange rate was increasing from N300 to N400 when the government had set the Nigerian Naira exchange rate at N190. The man claimed that the currency exchange rate was increasing as a result of people sending Dollars into Nigeria. He said that a person call to ask how much the Naira was to the Dollar and he told the person that the Naira rate to the Dollar was N400 to $1, and the person intending to send the money to Nigeria told him that he would not send because he heard that the Dollar had risen to N404. The man who changes money claimed that one week after their discussion, the Naira exchange rate increased to N404 to $1 so that customer can send the money he had wanted to send.When I finished listening to this interview, I concluded that there was a kind of cabal going on there but I was consoled because of the principles in Prof. Milton Friedmans school of thought on monetarism. He asserts that the increased supply of money in the economy leads to high inflation. Therefore, the supply of money in the economy needs to be tightly controlled. On the other hand, too little money in the economy will lead to high interest rates. This means that the consumers
are tempted to save more and spend less. It then means that if there was any kind of link between the persons sending the money and the person receiving it so that they can gain N404 in the local currency, they cannot take that same Dollar to a bank and remit back to the sender at the rate of N190 and then bring it back into the country at the rate N404. I concluded that the banks will not change the Dollars for them at the rate N300 instead; it will be changed for nothing less than N410 which would be the street market value. And so, if the foreign currencies accumulate in their possession, infer from Friedmans monetary principle, the values of the foreign currencies in the country will depreciate and so the value of the Naira will rise.Few days after this interview, during a news broadcast, the public accused the DDC or DCC money exchange men that they were responsible for the devaluation of the Naira and few days after this accusation, the Naira rate reduced to N380 to a Dollar to calm the public, but it climbed higher again. The government in trying to help families who have children and relatives studying in schools in foreign countries, announced in the news on the radio that it has embarked on the data collection of Nigerians studying in foreign countries so that the government can help them remit money to their wards at the government regulated rate. And I decided to visit some banks to actually know if it is practical to bring in Dollar into the country, exchange it on the street to the Naira at a higher rate and send out that same money at a reduced rate and to bring it back at a higher rate. I actually visited three different banks with the story of remitting the equivalent of 1000 Dollars in the Nigerian local currency. The banks attendants smiled at me in a way to show that they cannot do that kind of transaction for me. But they advised me to send the money through my Dollar account. I was surprised because I thought the government had stopped that activity in the banks.I Damian Chidieber Dike is against dollar accounts because if what I think under Friedmans school of thought under monetarism is practical, the dollar account will serve as;A means of sending back at a lower rate that money that same money that came into the country on a higher rate.It will help to devalue our currency more because people will prefer to carry around large sum of in smaller volume, which will be in the foreign currencies.There is no place in the world where there is anything like a Dollar Account, I stand to be corrected. It will only support money laundering. ReferenceThe Origin, Development and methodology of Economics, Prof. Augustus N. GbosiLecture notes on Banking and Insurance Law from Barr. Emma Nwosu.
I wish to beg the Government of Federal Government of Nigeria and the representatives of Labor to resolve the lingering issue of removal of fuel subsidy and the proposed strike action. In all these, either way it goes, it is the masses that will suffer. The subsidy that is to be removed President Mohamadu Buhari government if looked into critically, should be a welcome development if not for its corresponding hardship and increment in the price of general commodities on the masses. The then administration of president Goodluck Jonathan would have removed the subsidy and by now we would have being through with its hardship. The then administration claimed that the subsidy was a fraud set-up to rip governments of fund. It claimed that most importers of petroleum products into the country brought in nothing and some that actually brought something in, send theirs to the neighboring countries and they still collected subsidy payments on products they did not import. I Damian Chidiebere Dike, I am curious about who shut down our refineries and introduced the importation of petroleum products with subsidy paid to those importers. The question is, why would an importer of petroleum product who was suppose to bring it into Nigeria divert it to a neighboring country? Why would a tanker driver that is loaded with petrol at Logos deport divert it to Cotonu in Benin Republic? There is only one answer that I could think about, and that is the prospect of making more profit selling it in those countries, thereby creating artificial scarcity because quota for a particular location would not be delivered. And so if this principle holds, it means that fuel scarcity will never be a thing of the past as there would always be diversion, which would encourage hoarding and creates artificial scarcity.Labour on its own part should try to reach an agreement with the Federal Government over this lingering fuel issue because if Labour eventually stages strike action, essential places will shut down. There will be little essential commodities for the masses to buy, and so the price of food items and transportation, to mention but a few, will increase drastically. And can Labour guarantee that it would regulate these prices if eventually the issues relating to the strike are resolved.Let's take the case of transportation as an example. The taxi and bus drivers in their quest to hike the the transport fares along Aba Road and Iwerre Road, in Port-Harcourt have met stiff opposition from the masses wanting to board those vehicles. The reason being that for the past few months, almost every bus driver had being buying petrol from the black market at the range of N110 - N200, or even at the rate of N130 from some filling stations and they still retained their old rates. Now the petrol price is reduced to N145, I am sorry, I meant the petrol price is regulated at N145 and the bus drivers want to increase. If eventually the strike is called up, the country will be held to a standstill. But students
