Rule Of Law Is The Paramount National Interest!!!!!!!! by SalamRushdie: 8:16am On Aug 31, 2018
Rule of Law is the Paramount National Interest!!!!!

Yes National interest supersedes individual rights but the Rule of Law and our courts shall be the final arbiter to translate what National interest is and not some lifeless dullard called Buhari... The problem is Buhari and his nepotic vindictive security chiefs want to be the determinant of what National interest is which is total balderdash and nothing but a blank check to full dictatorship and human rights abuse ...Though national interest supersedes individual interest the Rule of Law shall be the determinant of what National interest is At Any point and not some dullard called Buhari .... By trying to deliberately misinterpret this judgement Buhari is ironically saying his personal interest as president supersedes the collective national interest which is a big lie we must all reject ... Say No to Buharis penchant for reckless abuse of our rule of law , in 1983 Buhari disguised his personal interest as national interest and truncated our democracy with criminal coup plot and today he plans to do so again by trying to misinterprete this supreme court judgement for his personal interest ... SAY NO!!!!!

Buhari is a cankerworm and monster when it comes to denigration of human rights ,if left unchecked he will bring in the system of democratic coup to governance.

Even in advance democracy, the national security supersedes the rule of law.
Under which rule of law was Osama Bin Laden Murdered?
CIA published names of assumed terrorists and place bounty on their head to get them dead or alive without referring to any rule of law.
Under which rule of law were Guatanamo (and several others) inmates incarcerated?
Obama campaigned that he was going to close down Guatanamo bay but was treated with the reality by the service chiefs when he assumed office.
Under which rule of law did Mossad (Israeli secret forces) and CIA etc carry out several extrajudicial killings? Killing nuclear scientist, assumed terrorists, political leaders etc.
Under which rule of law did Western nations use in causing unrest and usurping powers in other nations?
Not every issue of national import can be discuss in the court room and that's why every nation have their CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
There are still 20th century informations that are still classified in the US.
It takes more than being a Mr Nice Guy to rule a nation.
I know it'll be very hard to draw the middle line between supremacy of the national interest and dictatorship, that's the reason why we need to elect a president with good antecedents that we can trust with several clandestine decision.

Its amazing how wailers cannot see that the rule of law always comes secondary whenever national security it threatened.

Maybe when a neighbouring country decides to attack Nigeria we should go to the courts for permission before acting too.

Bunch of dumb wailers.

This neighbouring country scenario has already been determined by the court , we are talking about individual rights here and only a court can determine if an indivdual right should be sufficiently breached on the altar of National interest and not another mere individual like Buhari or you this butterfly!!!!

Under which rule of law were Guatanamo (and several others) inmates incarcerated? No American citizen will be sent to Guatanamo without trial, American government do not play politics with the life of its citizens as Buhari's government does. [/[/b]i]

Under which rule of law did Mossad (Israeli secret forces) and CIA etc carry out several extrajudicial killings? [i][b]Killings, who do dey kill exactly , its citizens as seen in Nigeria (Sars and the other killer squad in Nigeria) or foreign terrorists
. Killing nuclear scientist, assumed terrorists, political leaders etc.Imagine Sadam Hosseini, Gaddafi and even Buhari with access to Nuclear weapon, what Israel did to disarm an Arab nation who they are technically at war with to me is not a crime.
Under which rule of law did Western nations use in causing unrest and usurping powers in other nations? Can you provide proof.
Not every issue of national import can be discuss in the court room and that's why every nation have their CLASSIFIED Information. Every nation except Buhari Nigeria do not wake up one morning and say A/B is classified, there are procedures for it.
There are still 20th century informations that are still classified in the US. Agreed
It takes more than being a Mr Nice Guy to rule a nation. That is what it takes actually to rule a nation. Today the world is shouting that trump is over protecting America farmers, if he was as heartless as Buhari, that won't be happening. Today you invest in farming, you end up worse off, none of the useless presidential aspirant has even made any attempt to address this issue, and nobody cares.
I know it'll be very hard to draw the middle line between supremacy of the national interest and dictatorship, that's the reason why we need to elect a president with good antecedents that we can trust with several clandestine decision.
. Agree, but that is what the court is there for.

America, Isreal, China even north Korea do not wake up and throw its citizens without trial or disobey court orders. Though that of north Korea is wayo wayo, as my peeps will say atall atall na witch market, there is still a trial.

The former prime minister of Britain wanted Britain to remain in EU, the British people wanted out, what he did was to resign not classify the issue for his own selfish agenda, that's what leaders do. If the law in place is going to hinder Buhari's performance and he can't legally change it, what Buhari should do is to resign, not force his anti democratic decision on us.

Not until we stop this APC and PDP mentality, nothing will change in this country. Not until we realize that PDP or APC did not loot Nigeria, but rather the likes of Igbinedion, Ibori, Oduaghan, Oshiomole, Tinubu, did we will keep going in circles in this country.

You think running a country is same as being a class prefect?

There is so much the Judiciary are not privy to And will never be permitted to be privy to and which is why a lot of information is classified.

The agency holding dasuki who happens to be a threat to national security are doing the right thing.

The courts can only rule that he be bailed but cannot enforce it in this light because there is no agency that would bend to that ruling when the security of the nation is at stake.

The judiciary which can be so easily corrupted and influenced cannot be trusted implicitly when issues regarding national security are in play.

Dasuki is a security threat to Nigeria and as such the interest of majority of Nigerians come first above his own.

Its like the court asking that shekau the boko haram leader should be granted bail and people like you carrying placard and supporting it.

When the US went after osama bin laden their instruction was get him DEAD or alive. osama bin laden had the right to life but they still killed him didn't they with a bullet right in the head.

Who arrested and jailed the soldiers who took away his right to life? They were rather hailed as heros.

This is a classic example of national security coming first above rule of law.

All over the world, RULE OF LAW DOES NOT INFRINGE ON ISSUES CONCERNING NATIONAL SECURITY so stop making silly statements.

Even lawyers know this and work within their limits .

Asari Dokubo and Ralph uwazurike were arrested by the SSS under Obasanjo. Festus Keyamo filed bail applications and argued them to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court held that Asari Dokubo is a threat to the security of the country and therefore cannot be granted bail. The very words used in that ruling is what Buhari paraphrased yesterday while addressing the members of thenoble profession in Abuja.

You saw nothing wrong with the arrest and detention of Asari Dokubo and uwazurike both of whom are southerners then. You suddenly realized that there is freedom of liberty in our constitution that cannot be limited or qualified.

El-Zazaki and Dasuki are Fulanis just like Buhari. You are crying more than the bereaved because your memory is short changed by hatred. Very soon, you would cry for the release of the Boko Haram terrorist and even Shekarau once he is apprehended.

Your hatred has twisted your brain and we must deliver you before it goes out of hand.


TRUMP DECLARED THAT FROM NOW ON IT WOULD BE AMERICA FIRST AND WHAT PMB ALSO SAID WAS IT WOULD BE NIGERIA FIRST.

Rule of Law cannot override National security.

Argue with your keypad because Buhari is 100% right

1. Osama Bin Laden was an American citizen. Several other Arab Americans are in Guantanamo without trial. And even at that Fundamental human rights is universal and exclusive of Americans alone. So American treating others nationals different to theirs is against the law. All men are equal before the law.

2. Does killing of non citizens makes you less a murderer before the law? lol
Nuclear scientists that are just doing their jobs. And who tell you every nuclear projects is for weapon of mass destruction?

3. Syria, Libya and Iraq are testament of western nations usurping powers and changing regime.

4. Please can you tell which court of law classified information and what processes are taken?

5. In international politics, a nice guy is a weak guy. That's why Putin is the most powerful man on earth.

It's neither APC nor PDP mentality, if you should ask GEJ the decision he took to keep Nigeria intact, you'll be shocked. If you should become the president of Nigeria today and you're provided with informations I'm sure your judgement will change.

US laws holds on all US actions in and out of US borders. That's why US soldiers were tried in US for violating the law in far away Iran and Afghanistan.

The President is notorious for gaffes. What he meant, but came out wrongly, is that Rule of Law is paramount for our Nation but exceptions will exist that expectedly will call for treatment on individual case basis.

Example is Dasuki. The paramount rule of law cannot apply to him on his offense. What Dasuki did can be equated to financial terrorism.

In America ponzi scheme criminals bag life sentence easy depending on the impact on society....not to mention robbing the national vault, which could be interpreted as willful attempt to bankrupt the sovereingty.

The bail granted Dasuki is misinterpretation of our law, and serves as a good example for exceptions in rule of law for convicied felons.

The President misspoke. He shares this trait with a lot of world leaders.
