Liverpool forever!

@OP it is funny how you are stating records of saisia, then what happened to amodu who has qualified the SE to the world cup twice and even the nations' cup, siaisia saying that african players are dull is a incurably arrogant and thats why he fell frome grace.

Siasia is a control freak and tried to "break" men to boys, he cant manage mature players, my guess the entire team loathe him like plague, nobody likes conceited people; am  sure if you met siasia one on one you could never like him.
No mature can play for him!

medjai:
Siasia should be given the boot. He should be replaced with Maurice Cooreman or Okey Emordi.

i believe Maurice Cooreman can build a team just like westerhof did

^^^ you have to experience something t know it, the good looking person may get your attention but if you know your true needs as a human person you will judge easily that sleeping with that person is not correspondent to your true desire as a human

we all have to start every inquiry from our own experience and rid ourselves of all extraneous-ness that way we are able to even verify what even 'great minds' have said.

The tragic thing is not that people are having sex as though it were not a big do or that they are complicating themselves in the process, its actually what they are missing when intimacy is done the very way our truest nature demands, all this stems from the current mentality where people dont even know whom they are!

To all you guys being cynical about you west's influence on Libya, would it have been better that they (west) turned the blind eye and let Ghaddaffi massacre Libyans? c'mon.

Court Rejects Sections Of 2010 Electoral Act,…orders election tribunal to declare poll winners

I am so relieved to read this

BY IKECHUKWU NNOCHIRI

ABUJA-A Federal High Court in Abuja, yesterday, ordered election petition tribunals sitting across the federation to ignore provisions of section 140(2) and 141 of Electoral Act 2010, saying it was vague, unconstitutional and a deliberate attempt by the legislative arm of government to usurp powers of the judiciary.

Nullifying the two sections, the high court equally gave election tribunals nod to declare a candidate winner of any disputed election process brought before it, stressing that provisions of the aforementioned sections were inconsistent with both section 239 and 285 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

It would be recalled that the National Assembly, in amending the Electoral Act, divested from courts the power to declare any candidate the bonafide winner of a disputed poll, stipulating that appropriate action the court or tribunal could take in such situation was to nullify the election and order a fresh one.

Dissatisfied with the decision, Labour Party, LP, went to court to challenge its constitutionality.

The plaintiff joined Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, as defendants in the suit.

However, the two defendants, who were represented in court by Mrs. Patience Osagiede Ofeyi and Ms Olufunke Aboyade, respectively, joined the plaintiff in asking the court to void those portions of the Electoral Act, contending that it ousted the jurisdiction of tribunals with respect to reliefs that could be granted in an election petition.

Delivering judgment on the matter, Presiding Justice Gabriel Kolawole, maintained that the National Assembly was bereft of legislative competence to dictate to the court decision it should take over a suit filed before it, just as he described section 140(2) and 141 of the Electoral Act, 2010, as an affront on the concept of separation of powers.

He held that the sections smacked off legislative tyranny, in the sense that it removed the constitutionally guaranteed powers of the court to declare a candidate winner of an election, stressing that section 134 and 179 of the same constitution imbued the judiciary with powers to declare the person with majority votes winner of an election process.

He noted that the National Assembly deliberately interfered with judicial affairs, saying the two sections were nothing but legislative judgment.

According to the judge, “Sections 140 (2) and 141 of the Electoral Act 2010 delimits power of the court to adjudicate dispute between parties in Election Petition. It, therefore, derogates powers enshrined in Sections 4 ( and 6 (1) of the Constitution.

“The decision a court can arrive at in any dispute is based on the peculiar facts and evidences presented before it, it is not what any parliament can technically determine. Once a tribunal is seized with a matter  in line with provisions of section 239 and 385 of the constitution, it can no longer reside with the legislature to curtail or abridge the powers of that court.

“I, therefore, find Sections 140 (2) and 141 needless and an unnecessary intrusion, it is my view that election tribunals can operate effectively without these two provisions.

“Consequently, it is hereby declared inconsistent with the provisions of the 1999 constitution and, therefore, null and void. The various election tribunals shall not be bound by the provisions of Sections 140 (2) and 141, it is thus accordingly struck-down, same being unconstitutional.”

The plaintiff had in an originating summon it filed through its counsel, Chief Chuwkuma Ekomaru, SAN, prayed the high court to invoke its jurisdiction and declare that the provisions of the said portions of the Electoral Act were inconsistent with the provisions of sections 6(6a), 134, 179, 285 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.

Properly speaking Virginity is not a virtue but a state, chastity, i wonder how many people have heard that word, is the virtue. Chastity is all about not just sexual control but respect for the stature of sex as an act so special that it must be reserved for a committed relationships such as marriage. Chastity may bring virginity but one may have chastity even after loosing their virginity

@iice. The question is not whether one may sleep with someone else without having a relationship that's way too obvious

I take it as a yes

That still did not answer the question

Would call him or her an ex if you never had s.ex nor even kissed

^^^ true. But what do you mean by you 'lust' cos what counts is that you are continously developing a wholistic view on sex. We are all born with defects , the work we have is to be perfect

The girl is a slut simple

I grieve when i see good natured guys loosing it because they want to get the ladies who are just not worth it. I hate being bored but if i find myself bored with a 'good' person then i am mentally sick and need get my priorities right. I think many confuse naive people with good people. They are two different things. Mature women prefer the very guys that younger women dump its really an indication of maturity .

I believe the op was only reacting to the way virginity and virgin have been looked at with disdain and i praise him for his post which has made young people who living the choice of leaving sex for marriage proud of their choice while bursting the bubble of those who make virgin and virginity look stupid. Virginity is not about having not had sex alone for it to be wholesome it has to be backed with a proper view of sex itself else virginity is only a physical thing. Which breeds vanity and an over-rated self importance which is make nothing of the state of not having had sex even irritable.

For marriage which do you think works better and why?

I think seun should create an IDLE section in nairaland!

The truth is that blackberry is quite engaging especially for the insufficiently engaged mind. Personally i hate what blackberry can do to real life social relationships. Talking may not solve the problem. I propose you take her out more often to exotic places, do more things together, when people become go virtual its likely the real is deficient. Goodluck
