.............to lend a legal backing to all their illegalities!

Hm! From *taught* to *grammer*!

I would have thought that the minister would stay in Nigeria to ensure that the school system is improved so that we would compose sentences with better grammar.


(Sorry, I couldn't resist).

Northern Governors visit to Gov Amaechi
in Rivers state. Amaechi and President
Jonathan.
By Nwoseh Clifford, Port Harcourt.
Yesterday, some Northern governors who
has been kicking against the status quo
or acting as the opposition with the
ruling party visited our state capital in
what they termed as a solidarity visit to
Governors Chibuike Amaechi.
As a recurring decimal, this pattern of
using Niger delta political leaders and
dumping the at the last minute is now a
serious concern to River state and Niger
Delta people.
This calls to the question, "Why is it that
the North will always look for one foolish
Niger Delta Governor to use their oil
money any time their quest for power
arises?
(1) Atiku use Diepreye Alameyeseigha
with a promise of making him, his Vice
president.
(2) The Northern leaders finish Rivers
money on the same promise of making
Odili Peter president and later dump him.
(3) James Ibori single handedly funded
Umaru Yar-Adua presidential election
with our money and today where is Ibori.
(4) Now is Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi turn.
When the gods want to finish someone
they will first make him blind and deaf.
When will Niger Delta Governors and
people learn from past Governors that
were used and dumped as a result of
their greed and insensitivity.
Amaechi's problem in Rivers state
started even before President Goodluck
Jonathan becomes the Nigerian
President. In 2002/2003, Amaechi won
PDP governors primaries and President
Obasanjo and his cohort stopped him
from taking the ticket.
Another man contested the primaries
again and and won the general election.
The Supreme Court gave Amaechi victory
for an election he NEVER contested. This
is the genesis of his problem in Rivers
state, as he came back to victimise his
opponents.
As a result of his greed and faceless
ambition, he has been wasting state
funds, paying bloggers, Newspaper
houses, disgruntled Politicians across the
country to discredit President Goodluck
Jonathan for an offense the Nigerian
President don't even know when it
started and some people are buying it as
a fact.
As some of the protesting banners wrote
yesterday, "If Amaechi want to leave
PDP, no one is stopping him, but using
state funds to cause disturbance and go
round to cry victim is what we will not
tolerate any more".
For the visiting Governors and other
opposition groups, your signatures is
now clearer, as the people fueling the
problem in Rivers state. How many times
have any of you visited Borno, Yobe,
Adamawa or even Bauchi states to
felicite with people, who are under the
attack of Boko Haram and were kept
indoors as a result of the state of
emergency?
Whatever is your ulterior motive, we
must meet somewhere and sometime.
Remember the Niger delta proverb, that
said, "don't forget that a man wey dey
cry, dey see". - Hope For Nigeria.

Falana Faults NBA's Call for NGF’s Proscription

08 Jul 2013

By Shola Oyeyipo

Constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, has condemned a call for the proscription of the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) by the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr Okey Wali (SAN).

Falana described the proscription call as "liquidationist call" that should not go unchallenged.

[b]The National Executive Committee of the NBA had held its bi-monthly meeting between July 5 and 7 in Yenogoa, the Bayelsa State capital where at the end of the meeting Wali was reported to have called for the proscription of the NGF in view of the controversy which had trailed the outcome of the re-election of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as NGF chairman.

Falana noted that: "Wali must have forgotten that his own election was seriously contested by his major opponent, Chief Emeka Ngige (SAN). In spite of the fact that the allegations of malpractice, including the fact that some lawyers who died several years ago voted from the grave! were proved beyond reasonable doubt no one ever suggested that the NBA be proscribed."

While noting that he rejected the insinuation in certain legal circles that the call for the proscription of the NGF was influenced by the fund collected from the government to host the last NBA NEC meeting, he added that:" I deem it pertinent to challenge his reactionary call before it is adopted by the forces of annulment in the country. More so that the call is a sad reminder of the fate that befell some progressive professional bodies and trade unions which were either corruptly taken over or decimated by the Ibrahim Babangida junta.

"It is particularly sad to note that the NBA which used to be the defender of the fundamental rights of the Nigerian people has thrown up leaders who are campaigning for the proscription of friendly societies and clubs. Even if Wali does not like the NGF he is duty bound, as a lawyer, to respect the right of the members to associate without external interference," he said.
[/b]
“Regrettably, the NBA appears to be encouraging impunity on the part of certain public officers. Otherwise its leadership should have called the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, to order for banning demonstrations and rallies convened in Rivers State without police permit.

“In the light of the foregoing it is hoped that concerned lawyers will urgently adopt decisive measures to free the NBA from the grip of anti-democratic forces and reposition it to resume its traditional role of defending the rule of law and the expansion of the democratic space in the country.

“Otherwise the NBA will soon lose its relevance in the struggle of the Nigerian people for the transformation of the country from civil rule to democracy under the rule of law. I am however convinced that that will not happen as majority of lawyers do not share the perspective of bar leaders who have contempt for the democratic rights of Nigerians.”

skyfall: Permit me to quote one Toyin Adekunle on the same story on SaharaReporters. He has said it all:


Wike and the govt he serves must cover themselves in shame. So, ordinary injury cannot be treated by their much publicized improved hospital services in Nigeria. Wike and his group of imbeciles went all the way to London to see an injured man. If U.K govt are running their own country like the morons that are running govt in Nigeria, will Wike's gang member be able to obtain 1st class health care in U.K.

Jonathan, his health Minister & all his co-vagabonds running Nigeria should cover their faces in shame. Shame on them all.

abu12: This minister should be more concern about ASUU STRIKE for now instead of him to channel all his energy on this rivers state crises. IMO this is negligence of his duty, the retardeen has to call him to order. It is a shame to see a federal minister encouraging rascality and supporting 5 lawmaker who want to impeach 27 lawmaker, what message is he passing across. To the extend they take their dirty to a UK hospital SMH.

This democracy is getting worse.

Rhino.5dm:


Look at the fools flying to London to visit their comrade at the expense of the masses claiming someone is depleting resources. Money wasted on this jamboree by these touts will be enough to fix the dilapidated Chinda by Ikwerre road extension.

For wetin nah?:


So you call an injury to the brain "common"..I don't think you know any1 with brain damage personally, if you do you won't be supporting the nonsense Lloyd did. Is the head the only part of the body, you can liken his barbaric act to cult or ritual killing. Bipi who started the whole fracas used his bare hands to exchange blows, but the murderous I.D.IOT resorted to banging a fellow human beings head with a MACE..On what grounds? Self defence or what? Chinda wasn't holding anything to attack him with was he? Pray this doesn't happen to any1 close to you by any means..it is only then you would understand the trauma such people go through. I'd rather they shot him dead than bang his head continuously with that MACE

skyfall:

Good for him. That's why it's not good to make trouble cos you may be sure of how it'll start but you can't be sure how it'll end. I guess that's what Rivers people pay them to do.
