What our Court said on 2/3 majority:

"Two-thirds majority of each House can only mean two-thirds of the membership of the Senate and House of Representatives. It cannot mean anything else.
The section has no relationship with the ordinary quorum of each House. It does not employ a language referable to the proportion of membership of each House.
It is two- thirds of each of the whole Senate and House of Representatives... there must at least 73 members in the Senate and 240 members of the House of Representatives".

- Per Oguntade JCA (as he then was) in National Assembly v President (2003) 9 NWLR (PT 824) 104 at 132

Make it a point of duty to come show support for your candidate at the TownHall Meeting with Presidential Aspirants on the State of Nigeria’s Housing Market. #HousingTownHall @MBuhari @atiku @MoghaluKingsley @obyezeks @feladurotoye @YeleSowore
I have always believed that there is a need to sustainably build a bridge over the institutional gaps between the Town and the Gown. Globally citadels of knowledge contribute to electioneering process by harnessing the opportunity to engage the candidates informedly. #HousingTH
We understand that no platform will holistically grant the candidates the opportunity to fully explore all they have in stock in their manifesto thus the sectoral approach in town hall format engagement. Debates remain the soul of Democracy. #HousingTownHall

First you are deliberately impoverished via inhumane policies weaponized to ruin the economy and make you beggarly. They when you protest they pretend as though they care by increasing the paper you are slaving to earn. Note that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs has been inverted.
All schools of humanistic psychology informs that Physiological needs are no longer the topmost priorities and humans beings in the 21st century. It is not about bigger salaries or more vanities but the desire to become the most you can be according to purpose. #NeverAgain
Look at the value of the Naira and see the margin of increase and sincerely interoculate to evaluate the negligible change. The increase is meaningless. What labour should be fighting for is a reduced cost of living by holding Govt to account to deliver on its promises.

Kindly note and avoid disinformation. SARS (FSARS), SAKS & SACS are all under probation based on the national outcry by the #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG Movement. They’ve not been reformed neither did we clamor for their reformation but their disbandment & Reformation of the Police.
The sustainable reformation process of the entire Police structure will take years under a conscionable cum genuine leadership. Anyone who claims that the Police/SARS have been reformed is a raving lunatic and should be ignored. #ReformPoliceNG
From experience men with combatant training need structure & order without which they can not function effectively. Idleness bring out the need to displace the energy somehow thus the heightened crime rate of operatives starved of funds & proper engagement. They’re victims too.

1/ On Tuesday, “a divided America returned a divided verdict on the tumultuous first two years of Trump’s presidency..a much more divergent result than usual in a midterm,” writes @RonBrownstein. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
2/ The Democrats won a majority in the House of Representatives, setting up two long years of likely confrontation with President Donald Trump. They also pulled out big victories across state legislatures, flipped six chambers, and turned others purple. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
3/ Conversely, Republicans won a large Senate majority, which could allow Trump to make an even deeper mark on the federal judiciary, and potentially on the Supreme Court. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

Reminder:

Only a Congress full of Democrats has a shot at impeaching, trying and convicting Donald Trump of high crimes against the republic.

No President has ever been removed from office. It’s a very high bar and not by any means a given.

Vote big. Vote blue.
While impeachment - which is effectively an indictment - only requires a majority in the House of Representatives, the next step is a trial in the Senate.

Following that trial, the Senate has to decide by a 2/3 majority to remove Trump from office.
So that Senate needs as many Democrats as possible, and even then will need some Republicans to cross over.

So put your head down, get your checkbook out and sign up for phone banking.

We gotta #FlipEverything.
