Abegi, they should sponsor citizens as well to learn “international practice” of citizenship...
Anyway, the UAE is NOT an “advanced” democracy, but rather it is an ABSOLUTE monarchy!

Muttee:
The Federal Government has declared Wednesday as public holiday to commemorate the maiden National Democracy Day.

This was contained in a statement released by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Georgina Ehuriah. The Federal government congratulated Nigerians at home and abroad for the entrenchment of democratic rule in the country.

The Permanent Secretary called on Nigerians to continue to cherish the sacrifice made by heroes of democracy, particularly those who lost their lives in the struggle for the actualisation of democratic governance in the country.

Sadly, we have NOT yet entrenched democratic rule in Nigeria, merely civilian government...

RIP...

I hope the Police conducts a full investigation, because she was either terribly depressed or someone pushed her (very few people go to other people’s houses to commit suicide, unless they want to send a specific message). Condolences and prayers for her family/survivors.

The other branch of government are only co-equals in your imagination. Digest the constitution and you'll clearly see that the number 1 position of the president is unrivaled.

Sadly, this is apparently the misguided attitude of many in Aso Rock - until the National Assembly broaches IMPEACHMENT!

agabusta:
You guys are unbelievable. So who else can appoint Justices of the supreme court in Nigeria if not the president.

All the presidents before him, didn't they appoint justices of the supreme court even when they had pending cases?

Which law says a president should not appoint justices when he has pending cases before the courts?

Even in the US, despite the myriad of cases of Trump, didn't he appoint a supreme court justice?

The President can ONLY appoint justices in conformity with the law and the Constitution...
Any attempt to appoint any more than the current 15 justices is in violation of the law (SC Act) and the Constitution (Section 230(b)(2)).

5oyad:
All letters to NJC are routed through the secretary. Don’t act too smart mister because you don’t know anything

Spot on!

Just as official correspondence to the Supreme Court as a body is routed through (and usually addressed to) the Chief Registrar and not the CJN, official correspondence to the National Judicial Council as a body should go through the NJC’s bureaucracy) and not through the CJN.

Yet again, who is advising the President on these matters?
>

agabusta:
The constitution supersedes any act.

There is NO issue of constitutional supremacy....
Since the Supreme Court Act does not prescribe in excess of 21 justices!

For the avoidance of any doubt, the Constitution does NOT require nor mandate 21 justices. It merely requires ANY number prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly, so long as such number does not “exceed” 21. The Supreme Court Act is therefore a required mandate of the Constitution - and while my maths is a bit rusty, I am certain that 15 does NOT “exceed” 21.

Again, who exactly is counseling the President on these matters?! You?

Meanwhile, crucial point being overlooked is that the Supreme Court Act provides for a MAXIMUM of 15 Supreme Court justices!

Specifically, the Constitution provides in Section 230(2)(b) for any number of Supreme Court justices as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly (but not to exceed 21). The relevant Act in this respect is the Supreme Court Act (Chapter S15, Laws of Nigeria 2004), which provides in the relevant part (Section 3 (1)) that “[t]he number of Justices of the Supreme Court shall NOT EXCEED fifteen” (emphasis added). In other words, the President’s letter (much as this ongoing discussion) appears mute and DOA. Abegi, who’s advising ASO Rock?

id911:
What is the difference between what I said and what you extracted and posted up there? My God! Who's wrong and who's right? I can't make any further comment again

YOU ARE RIGHT...

Not sure what the dude is going on about, but the appointment of Supreme Court justices (and the CJN) is made pursuant to the recommendation of the NJC. The process is three-fold: (1) the NJC makes a recommendation to the President; (2) the President makes a nominates an appointee to the Senate; and (3) the Senate then confirms (or rejects) the nominated candidate. [b]It is only after the Senate confirms a candidate that the Justice is deemed to be constitutionally appointed[/B] - and thereafter the appointee is sworn-in by the CJN (or the President, in the case of the CJN). Therefore, you are indeed correct that the President should have written to the NJC instead of the acting CJN, unless (and it was NOT so indicated) the President was actually trying to write to the NJC through the acting CJN (which is still procedurally INCORRECT since the NJC has a secretariat through which it should receive communications).

Furthermore, the Constitution merely provides for a Supreme Court “not exceeding” 21 justices. It does NOT require nor mandate that the Supreme Court have 21 justices (and usually the Supreme Court has about 15 or 16 justices). It is NOT the business of the President how many justices the Judicial branch (acting principally through the NJC) deem sufficient or suitable for the Supreme Court at any point in time (he who wears the shoe knows where it pinches), and this sort of wanton INTERFERENCE in the affairs of another CO-EQUAL branch of government is somewhat troubling. The Constitution does NOT provide for (nor anticipate) an IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY, with a President seeking to direct the affairs of, or issuing instructions to, the other CO-EQUAL branches of government (whether the National Assembly or the Supreme Court). This is slippery slope territory!

Mr. Garba, the Constitution does NOT require the President to “accept” the resignation/retirement of the CJN for it to become effective.

Assuming he wanted to use them for rituals, was that the best way to convey them?

Wouldn't know, since I do NOT do rituals (nor believe in them), but perhaps you have some expertise in the area to share with the rest of us. My LIMITED point was that's NOT the way to treat/transport a mentally-ill patient. The primitive mindset of many Nigerians in respect of mental illness is downright disgraceful. Someone on this thread has already equated mental illness with "violently insane"! SMH

HBB1:
Einstein!

When you see a violently insane person, leave them and start looking for ambulance, so that when you get back they have killed someone or themselves.

They don't restrain insane people in hospital?

Again, only in a ZOO would someone think it normal that even a violent mental patient (even though neither of the 2 news stories said ANYTHING about her being "violent" ) would be trussed up like livestock and bundled into the back of a car with her baby in the front seat (apparently headed NOWHERE near a hospital). Anyway, cannot blame folks who are apparently limited by their environment. SMH
