Mods please front page ..

Nigerians need more clarification on this..

Thousands if not millions of poor people have fallen prey to scam programs with all sort of names. The country is already too hard for majority. Nigerians deserve awareness please.

Good day all. Well, I don't know how many persons here are aware of this new grant programme tagged UAS/UAAG Grant. From my findings, the programme involve NGOs, CEOs in charge of the various NGOs who will receive certain amounts of money and in turn disburse to persons who are referred to as bundle heads and subsequently beneficiaries who are in their millions. They also say the monies are deposited with the CBN and all that. The whole thing sounds so good and too good to be true. Please any one with good clarity on this issue because it seems our security agencies and the government as a whole are not really putting so much efforts to clamp the perpetrators of all these fake grant programmes. Please any info in respect of this UAS/UAAG Grant? Thank you.

Nope. Don't.

Not when a harm is being done by The Court, in the Presence of All Parties concerned.

Consider this, if the Court can accept corrections for dates, numbers and amount, in the face of the Court and in the Presence of the parties concerned, therefore it can be guided at material times to prevent the occasion of harm.

The Must Harm No One is Ultimate Law!



All those beautiful judgements you applauded in school, where did they come from?

From a court that avoided the doing of a wrong! Denning said "When a man's house is burnt, he shall be homeless, and he suffers more than his initial suffering. Therefore let's prevent his house from being burnt that he may be protected from the elements" on Just is Delayed, is Just is Denied!

When your house is razed down let us see how you shall be willing to go through another process of acquiring a house, when you know that the burning down of your house could have been PREVENTED!

Lol. I am clearly wasting my time. You are not a lawyer and won't bow to superior arguments because of pride. Take care.

Continuing Legal Education!

Is it Not The Law that The Courts can do No Wrong? The question is why?

The Falls Answer promoted is that it is because The Court is Attached to the King and King can Do No Wrong! Another Partially Untrue Answer for we have seen do Wrongs!

Therefore what is the True Position? The Answer Lies in the Nature of A Court that is to dispense "Just Is" and Rightnes.

If it is to dispense Rightness and Rightness Only, therefore, it can not dispense Wrongness and of course it can dispense wrongness but it must be aided by all the parties to prevent the doing of such.



The Court is like a Cardio Surgeon, it must be not make mistakes, mistake injures another and when another is injured wrongly, The Law is breached.

And how is conceivable that the place for the Remedy of Breaches itself is an Offender as the People it Judges?

I am sure you have not heard this Principle "The Tenants of The Law are to Live Honestly, to Harm No One and to Give to each His Due" hence why the judge holds "the yam and knife" as you said!

Don't be so sure and confident. The position of the law is clear. If there is any perceived wrong or injustice, APPEAL. Don't confront the bench or make it obvious to him that you suspect connivance with opposing counsel. That is how it should be done. The law provided avenues for ventilating your grievance when faced with such situations. That principle you of Tenants of law bla bla you quoted is of no moment in the instant case and does not apply because the law is clear, APPEAL. In respect of the law being a cardio surgeon and must not make mistakes, how does that apply here? The courts will always make mistakes. They will always err and when they err what do you do? You use another avenue to correct that error. Look for an experienced lawyer close by to school you. I can see you are not contending from experience but from hearsay. I can understand you don't want to concede to the fact that you do not know how the law works so as not to be seen to be ignorant but please do not pass on that knowledge you acquired. The only superior argument you could pose is to the effect that Magistrates do not have the right to punish for contempt in facie curiae, that I will accept because there are plethora of authorities which I would readily provide for you to look through. The magistrate went ultra vires his powers but the truth and fact is the lawyer didn't use the right medium. Please scan through the case below. It is a supreme court authority. God bless you.

Now, let me point out that it is only a Superior Court of record that has inherent jurisdiction to deal with contempt in facie curiae and punish for the offence summarily.
See INEC & Anor V Oguebego & Ors (2017) JELR 37955 ( SC)

It should be noted that the Court of Appeal had the opportunity to entertain this confusing situation in Adeyemi Candid-Johnson V Mrs Esther Edigi (2018) LPELR-45148(CA) where the court held that the Acting Chief Magistrate went beyond its powers and cited a counsel for contempt because the counsel' insisted that his submissions before the Court should be placed on record and also refused to answer a question which was put to him by the Court. The Magistrate considered the counsel’s conduct to be rude and contemptuous and ordered that he should be detained. The Court of Appeal, while condemning the act of the Magistrate held: “Apparently, when tempers rose rather meteorically, the respondent, exacerbated by the situation, unleashed this incisive question: "When did you leave the law school? The response, going by the record, was equally unrelenting: "I will refuse to answer that question in the rudest manner." It was the refusal to answer this question, according to the record, that broke the camel's back, and led to the detention of the appellant for contempt of court. It was unfortunate, to say the least, for the respondent, according to the records, to have taken leave of her exalted bench, invited counsel to extra-judicial dialogue, and thereafter descended into the arena of vituperative conflict with him”.

Achike JCA (as he then was) corroborated his reasonings with my fears and held;

"It is clearly improper and will expose the Administration of Justice to ridicule if a Magistrate or presiding officer of an inferior Court were invested with such extraordinary powers to provoke extrajudicial verbal exchange with counsel and yet invoke against him the lethal and drastic power to punish for contempt"

Here, it will be said that the law of contempt only exists to uphold and ensure effective Administration of Justice and not for personal glory as we have seen in the case cited above. The power of the Court to punish for contempt must always be exercised to secure and protect the authority of the Court.
In fact, the powers should be sparingly exercised and only in serious cases.

The point I am struggling to make has been settled by the Supreme Court in the case of INEC & Anor V Oguebego & Ors (2017) JELR 37955 ( SC) that such arrant words or actions of the contemnor must be capable of interfering with the administration of justice by the court.

Let me also quickly agree with the Justices of the Apex Court in the above cases that it is only a Superior Court of record that has the inherent jurisdiction to deal with contempt in facie curiae and punish for the offence summarily.

Could it be safely said that the court did not abuse her powers to order that defense counsel be tried summarily, convicted and handcuffed to a gory place of safety to secure the ego and personal aggrandizement of the presiding officer

I am in the Practice and I have been burnt like him, so I think it just that ALL BE BURNT!

For This No Law and This is No Court!

Exactly as the people of Israel did with God's Laws and His Courts!

Let's have a Fresh New Good Law and Court!

No, you are certainly not in the practice of law because you have stated things that a practicing lawyer even though one year at the bar would not.

Dtruthspeaker:
you heard the reason the first time! This is the beginning of many Accusations to be flung at the bench for that is what it means for the Judiciary to be Corrupt!

They No Longer have the Protection of Rightness but are Open to Accusations.



Every way has its consequences however The Court must do no Wrong is The Law, it is not Governors Office or Theives Assembly but A Court of Rightness and this Court did not do Rightness!

You wouldn't understand. You just wouldn't understand except you are in the business.

Dtruthspeaker:
He had cogent reasons to attack the judge, to wit "corruption of the judiciary" a privilege and defence he could have enjoyed in the 80s but not today.

What cogent reasons? Is he practicing law in the 80's? He was in a good position to know the likely outcome of his acts. There are instances where a counsel can ask a judge or magistrate to recuse himself from a matter because he believes as a fact that the justice of a case is not being done..even the foregoing should be done with caution. He could also write to the Chief Judge and have the matter re-assigned or continued before another judge but not to interrupt or interject during ruling or accuse the bench head on. Go and stand before even an ordinary Area Court judge and tell him he is corrupt then you will know whatsup? Even when they know they do not have jurisdiction to entertain criminal matters, they can mess you up summarily. Let's be guided.

Dtruthspeaker:
Nope, it is within the principles of proceedings that the Court should not be allowed to make any errors, omissions or mistake!

La wa o! Which principle? Where did you learn that one from? That is not within the framework of our legal jurisprudence. They are many persons on this forum who are here to garner knowledge and it is better we do not say a thing we know nothing of. I can see that you are not a lawyer. The magistrate is the one with both the yam and the knife. If he erred and refuse to correct the errors or mistakes even when his attention is drawn to it, you go upstairs. Have you heard of the saying "To Err is human?" I would quote Lord Denning at this juncture "God forbid that I know all the law." Please desist from misleading people. Bless.

Dtruthspeaker:
Wrong! A Judge can not be allowed to make an Error and in these days of errors, the lawyer's action is very understandable, thus, there is lesson to be taught here but an infliction of Injury.

Why the injury? Your guess is the same with mine if you want to be truthful!

I hope you are contending by reason of sufficient experience but I make bold to say 'i dont think so' Hmmm..I don't know why you said a judge cannot be allowed to make an error. All judges err my friend. That is why you have right to appeal against any error in a ruling or decision. What do you think is contained in a notice of appeal? You will find write ups like "The learned trial judge erred when he held that....." The lawyer can bring the error or mistake to the attention of the magistrate after delivering the ruling and not while he was delivering the ruling. The lawyer should know the very basics of the practice of the law. Experientially stating, it is common and we see it in courts frequently when Counsel avert the minds of magistrates or Judges after a ruling is delivered to what was not said. I'll reiterate again that all judges err and are allowed to err that is why there is always a right of appeal against any part of a decision or ruling that wasn't favorable or occasioned a miscarriage of justice. Even the supreme court will say " We are supreme not because we are infallible but we are infallible because we are supreme". I don't know whether you are a lawyer or not but if you are, you should know the very basics of court proceedings that even law students are aware of. Whether the Counsel's action was understandable to people or not, to the magistrate, it is against the ethics of the profession.

Barrywilly:
It was wrong for the lawyer to be interrupting the magistrate while delivering his ruling. The best option is to appeal the ruling on the basis of his perceived wrongs. He deserved what he got even though it was wrong for the magistrate to take law into his own hand. You cannot be an accuser and the judge at the same time.

In the instant case, the magistrate can be an accuser and a judge at the same time..that's the law. The procedure is to put the lawyer in the dock to explain the reason for his actions and if he doesn't give cogent reasons why he acted that way, the magistrate has the power to sentence him to prison. The post didn't really capture whether that procedure took place or not but I believe the lawyer couldn't give cogent reasons for his actions hence the sentence. That is contempt proceedings for you. In the lawyer's case, it was committed right in front of the judge which makes it difficult for the lawyer. Pleas from other counsel in Court cannot even avail him because emotions are not considered in law. Bless.

Omihanifa:
This is clearly an Abuse of power, why can't the magistrate simply report him to NJC so that the lawyer can be sanctioned instead of sending him to suleja prisons

the story is looking as if the magistrate used the available opportunity to take his own pound of flesh for an old beef

Nope. The magistrate cannot report the lawyer to the NJC because the lawyer does not belong to the bench. He can report him to the NBA but chose to exercise his judicial power to punish the lawyer for contempt. What happened thwre was purely an exercise of his judicial powers to punish for contempt in facie curiae. (Contempt committed in the face on the court)..nothing new. I wouldn't say the Magistrate is wicked. Just to teach the lawyer a lesson because most lawyers do not respect the bench.

alBHAGDADI:
You are consulting spiritism and claimi ng it is God that revealed to you in a vision. Everything God has to say to mankind is in the Bible. Any new revelation is not the word of God. If you say God told you something in a vision, then add it to the Bible. But note that there is a curse on whoever adds to God's word. So, saying you heard God's word other than what's contained in the Bible is falsehood.

So, there is a verse in the bible that tells a person to travel abroad right? There is a verse that mentions the Country one should travel to right? Everything that was done by God is not recorded in the bible. The scripture even lends credence to the aforesaid. What happens to the direction of God through dreams and visions, mediums through which he spoke to men. When God directed Peter to the house of Cornelius, it was through a vision and not a scroll as was used in those days. When you have choices of things and you seem not to know what to do, go and open the bible and you would find the name of that thing you need ok. As for the op, don't know why you brought this issue to this forum. You should have sought guidance from those above and ahead of you. I dey even suspect you sef.

I wish I cud experience one of these, but no..
Was raised by a man .. my dad.. lost my mum at a tender age

Eyaa..so sorry hon. I know you'll use one of those right?

Our mothers will always be our mothers. Despite the tools and objects used to discipline us when we go astray, most of us if not all, still love and cherish our mothers. Mothers are good in handling different objects. Please share your experiences and tell us which of these tools your mom could handle so well. Mine is all oo..most especially number 4. She has never missed

It's a pity. Well, if you are into the business of stealing and robbery, you can play your trade but avoid places like Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Delta, Rivers State. If you decide to ply your trade in the above mentioned states, make sure you are not caught else it'll take divine intervention for you not to open your eyes in another world. Say no to crime, say no to Jungle Justice. Maybe not yield to such temptations.

Bros, she said she read a book that's why she changed. She meant she rode a dick. Ermm, by the way, you are making her commit fornication la..it's wrong. Focus on other things and move on.

Ok. If found to have misappropriated the funds,no qualms. It's the right call to make.

You chose to live that way plus the territorial energy of the University environment..you were under it's influence. You can be totally free if you are determined.

Op did not do anything wrong. His said wife was never married to her ex from what I can deduce. There is no case of snatching any man's wife here. I strongly believe a lady is still in the market and can be approached by anyone as long as she has not been officially and legally married to anyone. She made her choice. It's not foreign to us that ladies have many suitors and out of them, chose to settle down with one. Of course, the man she choses to settle with most often than not cannot be wealthier or richer than other men who showed interest in tying the knot with her. What is happening to the Op is a normal thing in life and what is happening to his wife's ex is also a normal thing in life. A plethora of cases abound where ladies leave their relationships to settle with other men and they have blissful marriages all round. Op may think she got married to him because of his sexual prowess but I think it's something more than that, even though part of the reason. We are all selfish in nature and there is no unconditional love between a man and a woman save for a woman and her child which in most cases is not 100percent. The Op is just passing through a phase and it's unfortunate he has a wife who is not understanding. To mind, all the talk of karma this karma that, stealing his ex' girlfriend shouldn't come Into play because they were all in the market. How many men here can boast that their wives married them out of pure, undiluted and unconditional love? How many of us can say our girlfriends are with us because of true agape love and no condition attached to it. Let things fall apart and see if that woman would not exhibit a foreign behavior. Op is being bashed because of financial constraints. @Op, work hard and smart, lift your works to your God and you will laugh. Many women regret one thing or the other in their marriages..you won't be the first. God bless you. Just my thoughts. Sorry for the long epistle

englishmart:
Three days into the relationship she told me she needed money for body cream and hairdressing. What? "Was that registration fee" I thought to myself. I only gave her about 5k for hair and told her I there was no money for her cream, she was disgruntled but I didn't care. She started coming regularly to visit me, say twice in a week and each time she came, I paid her transportation fare since she always claimed she had no money. I practically reduced her coming to once in a week, until it became one week, one trouble. She once told me she's my responsibility and I thought it wasn't going to weigh me badly since it won't cost more than 5k a week to maintain her, and it was normal to spend on your girlfriend. But I realized I was getting far from my family (my parents and siblings) I started giving excuses each time my younger ones ask me for money, I gradually became a debtor and it was devastating.
One day, I stood up to her and told her we need to be a little frugal if we really need to take the relationship far. She became upset and accused me of listening to friends, if she's becoming burdensome, I should tell her. Well, we resolved the issue and then we continued. Some days later, she invited me to her friend's wedding and I told her I won't be available, she then said I should give her transport for the wedding, then it dawned on me she's not a nice girl. Before I knew it, she was already at my place, I had to give her the last 1k note I had. She knew it was all I had yet she collected it.
I felt loved but used at the same time. What do I do now? How do I correct this?
I called her almost every hour, I reduced it gradually till it became twice in a day, I started declining her requests, became cold, stopped her from coming for weeks. She lost her phone recently and told me about it, she wanted a phone for Valentine's, but I told her we couldn't continue one week to the Valentine's day. I was just tired of being a mugu. Spending on her wasn't the problem, but she took my love as an avenue to pillage me of my hard-earned money. I learnt she got another phone, a costly one for that matter the next day after the breakup. She was my first girlfriend, and I'm not getting another till further notice.

Bros, this your story is akin to mine..hope we didn't meet same girl. Edo, beautiful, Abuja etc. Just similar to mine. Is the girl we are talking about here light skin?

Hi

In my Opinion this is a scam.

1st . A linkedin search of the company did not produce any result on Quebec, which is supposed to be their office location.
2nd. look at this link
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/ehd-initiative.672144/
3rd This address ( 12 Street Regis Blvd,Montreal, QC) puts you in front of a Temple of Murugan....
4th. The only review for that EHD was done by one Julius Olu , who did other reviews in Uganda.

That is my Opinion.....Peace

Baba you too much. Thank you and God bless

Yeah they do but could be differentiated from afar from their colours. but no be now again.

Last week, my younger one asked my cousin if he left Navy for Army because of his camouflage.

The difference is the name of the Force is written on the breast pocket

Yea, you are right. From afar, there is no clear cut distinction. The only means of identifying them is the inscription of the military arm they belong to. As for the camo, all same.

The three arms of the Nigeria military all wear camouflage, not Army camouflage.

tonye33:
Shebi both the Navy and Air Force still wear Army camouflage...

Are we expected to ask for an ID card to confirm the Force before complying to them?

Our mumu don do.

Y'all stop deceiving the masses.

After the election we go hear story... Watch out
