"another season begins today. stay tuned-in as the story unfolds."

God bless Nigeria! 

how many times have court injuctions been ignored in this country? why are we all suddenly thinking it's over?

jtkoko9:

whom God has blessed no man can curse, it's time for the south to rule.

God? again? Did God also install Yar adua over 2 years ago? I bet his people made similar claims when he made it.  

By the way@ Poster, is 234 the only media house carrying this? What of the Punch, Guardian, Sahara etc. One would think news like this would not be ignored by our media.

Here it is:

I laugh in chinco, goodluck is too dull to rule nigeria besides he looks sick to me too.

I dont see that happening what I can see going on in Nigeria politics is more than just such declaration or ruling as the situation on ground is concern, it's a bit complex,

yaradua,turai,jonathan,yayale,etc all look sick to me

This is what I think might be happening; Aondoakaa is either playing a new trick (he doesn't seem smart enough for this type, though) or he has capitulated in the best way to hide Yar Adua matters from the law. Lets wait and see, we should know as early as tomorrow.

Then you are in for a long long sleep

Now the drama begins, Oandoaka, what are you waiting for, appeal this.

Since he has full powers, he should get AA's as his presidential guard, sack Aondoakaa[b] and place the country in a state of emergency[/b], so that he can set things right like;

[list]
[li]Fix the broken constitution[/li]
[li]Implement the Uwais report[/li]
[li]Implement the Ledum Mitee report[/li]
[li]Schedule a national conference[/li]
[li]Get rid of the likes of Bankole and Mark[/li]
[li]Deal with the FEC and other cabals[/li]
[/list]

Everything about  nigeria is never about nigeria constitution but loyalty to the ruling party pdp.watch and see,even if the supreme court rule on this case,jonathan will not assue that post

with PDP directing this movie, it all remains a pipe-dream.  

Sources tell me that court records of the judgement in question has become imposible to obtain, hence conflicting reports in various news outlets.

The only thing that can be confirmed, from a source who was in court was the ruling that Jonathan has right to perform all duties on behalf of sick President Umaru Yar'Adua without any formal transfer of power.

My source said there was pandomonium in court after the ruling, to the extent that the verbal order to swear Jonathan in with immediate effect, may have been drowned out in the ensuing confusion and noice.  

In my humble opinion, given the ruling, Jonathan should immediately sack the Attorney General and take the bull by the horn. He has the power to do it , the order is not being appealed - he can checkmate the AG only by sacking him tonight, not tommorrow.

Has Goodluck been sworn in yet

Let's keep our fingers crossed and send message to Ex- President Yar 'Adua that we frantically want to implement the 7-Point Agenda especially THE RUULE OF LAW AND ZERO TOLERANCE TO INJUSTICE AND BREAKING OF THE LAW
BBC take note

People have no loyalty to Nigeria or its constitution,
Imagine BILL CLINTON himself was impeached over having zex with a babe and lying about it. though acquitted

and yaradull left Nigeria 50+ days without adressing the senate, the house or media and people are talking about him coming back and still continuing his presidency.
If Nigerians in the govt respected themselves he would be impeached for not imforming anyone of his absense.
It shouldnt even be about his health, his careless attitude alone in any other country would have him impeached.
Bunch of odes who dont respect themselves or their positions in the govt.

They should make jonathan presido

if nothing is wrong then why are they swearing him in

Jonathan can only be a ceremonial president!  The situation is far from what some one can comprehend for now.The story is like one told by an idiot.where do we go from here now?.NO CONCLUSION! LESS WATCH AND C

We await the move of Michael Aondoakaa the Attorney General and Minister of injustice. He will appeal or Veto the courts decision.

By the way I hear that the UK and UAE have quoted Michael Aondoakaa that there is no Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in term of working relationship with the EFCC, so they would not be providing any assistance to the EFCC. This is in ralation to "UK, UAE Ignore EFCC's Request to Freeze Akingbola's Assets".

Atleast we have a president now,not that yaradua will take us for a ransom.
Since this is a court order it MUST be OBEYED,the freaking government dont have a any choice they been singing rule of law in out ears.
I dont think the government would appeal,even if they do it will take weeks to give the decision,
Now at least yaradua can take his time even for six weeks if he will get perfectly better and no one would care since at least we are not autopiloting anymore,
The CJN,is the chief of the judiciary and when the judiciary gives order most especially to him,he has to comply,
But anyhow,we shall see what happens

In what may be Nigeria’s most bizarre judicial charade of the season, a Federal High court in Abuja presided over by Chief Judge Dan Abutu this afternoon endorsed the current vacuum created in the country by the continued absence of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua from his post. Goaded by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mike Aondoakaa, who was personally present in the court along with Mr. Amobi Nzelu, an Abuja based lawyer, the court declared that there is no vacuum whatsoever in the discharge of the functions of the President’s office.  Contrary to at least one report, it did not declare that the Vice-President should now be sworn in.
