If a president is foolish enough to sign bills rushed on his desk by the sinking 8 assembly headed by saraki then he isn't fit to govern

The same Saraki that snakishly added a cluase that stated result would only be acceptable only if it was sent electronically, just three month to election knowing fully well that even his kwara can't boost of 70% internet penetration over there landmass,

he greedily wanted to reorder election sequence , so that we could have wasted a whole weekend for senatorial election not minding inec overhead cost.

They tried pressuring Buhari using there twitter influencers, And Media but failed. I believe they would still fail.

That was how Jonathan was tricked to sign the worst sales agreement known to mankind by selling off PHCN to some few elites without any buy back clause or arcertaining if the new distribution company has capacity to provide meters And transformers. Till now just because of one mans hasty signature, we all have to contend with fraudulent estimated billing

Quit making shyte up...

The privatization (actually partial privatization) of the electricity sector was done under the Electricity Sector Reform Act of 2005 - that is, a law enacted EIGHT YEARS BEFORE the actual privatization in 2013, not under any so-called “hasty sales agreement”. The reason the DISCOs are struggling are obvious. Among other things, Buhari’s federal government (which still own 40% of each DISCO) has not met its own part of the performance agreement and has not injected its own share of equity funding to enable the DISCOs rehabilitate and expand facilities. In addition, until the government regulator agrees to cost-reflective tariffs (currently held to about an average of N31.26 kw/h while generation costs N80 kw/h) the DISCOs will always make losses and will never have attractive enough balance sheets to borrow from banks and debt-finance rehabilitation and expansion. Not to mention that in a country of an estimated nearly 200 million citizens there are just about 6 million registered customers inherited from PHCN records, while the military, police and MDAs continue to default on their electricity bills.

Dude is not serious...

He’s only crying out for attention, because if he truly wanted to kill himself he wouldn’t be using bottle. SMH

Yes, Sullivan was so “low-key” that he snuck away from office for 6 months...

If you are going to add diasporan Kase Lawal...
Then you should also add Bayo Ogunlesi (Global Infrastructure Fund).

So Omo-Agege not only has Agberos...
But apparently he also has Agbayas as well!

ZOO!

Populated by lots of illiterate and superstitious folk.

Since his paymasters are looking for a human being to sacrifice, he should be given the option of ‘donating’ himself or life imprisonment. SMH

This is very very impressive, I mean this is a state ravaged by Boko Haram and they have this. Kudos to the government of the state.

But these were NOT built by the state government.

Rather, they were built by international donors and the Presidential Committee. Overall, it’s a GOOD development but it’s only the hardware. The software - qualified and competent teachers and staff - is even more important. Without the latter, these buildings are just white elephants.

jared007:
While you guys are arguing and blowing grammar here, Omo-Agege and co that came through his faction are in panic mode runing up and down. Am in Delta so i know what am saying.

Is he recruiting thugs to ‘storm’ the swearing-in ceremony in Abuja?

Childish tantrum...

Oga,how many times will you vomit this trash ? Are you a robot or spam bot? Tell us who the different parties are,tell us the different cases,summarize the judgment of the two courts.if you cant,we have nothing further to discuss.am no robot

Still belaboring under your basic comprehension deficit?

Your boss Omo-Agege’s entire misguided thesis is EXPLICITLY based on the fact that he was NOT a party to the Asaba case, while he also EXPLICITLY notes that the parties to the Asaba case argued that they were NOT parties to the Abuja case. Even granted the paucity of much of Nigerian education, do you need Omo-Agege and his thugs to come draw a line in crayon for you to finally grasp simple basic facts? SMH

Lagos streetlights do NOT depend on ‘NEPA’

Lagos has 5 dedicated IPPs (Akute, Lekki, Mainland, Island, and Alausa IPPs) which power its streetlights (as well as hospitals, courts, public buildings, tertiary institutions, etc.). Eko o ni Baje!

Another way to colllect (steal) people’s money

And issue paper called bonds (promissory notes)

They get money and spend. You get fancy printed paper called bonds.

Good luck collecting in the future. Most Naija banks are useless. Access is probably the worst.

The usual Nigerian self-loathing pessimism embodied in this post is simply STUNNING!

If Lagosians use these bridges how do you expect them to get hit by a car so that they can have someone to fight and vent their frustrations?

CLOSE THEM DOWN...

There are SCORES of other Chinese restaurants across Lagos and Nigeria dying for Nigerian clientele.

CONGRATS to the lad!

All those who are hating and babbling about so-called “mediocrity”, I guess the Kardashians are rocket scientists, and all those ghetto rappers are Nobel laureates. Life is NOT a meritocracy and has never been anywhere! Success has always been about recognizing and seizing upon opportunities. This lad has turned probably his worst nightmare and biggest challenge into a rewarding opportunity. BEST WISHES TO HIM!

senatordave1:
If saraki was representing buhari with buhari's consent,then the award,actions and agreement is valid.intact,once an action has been taken before a court,another equal court cant cancel it whether valid or not. let the appeal court invalidate it...

Against my better judgment...

For the umpteenth time, the Asaba court did NOT “cancel”, “nullify” nor “vacate” the Abuja court judgment. In fact, it did not even mention the Abuja court judgment at all. It merely issued an order in a DIFFERENT case between parties DIFFERENT from the Abuja parties, which it is competent to do. The existence of a different ruling from another court of concurrent jurisdiction does not invalidate any part of the order.

Because I am feeling charitable today, I will further indulge with an explanation of how these matters play out. The winning party in the Asaba case will now take the order to register for execution and serve an order of execution on the parties actually involved (INEC?). That party can then elect to approach an appellate court to resolve any conflict between the two disparate orders. If not, the served order will be executed.

senatordave1:
You are a very annoying fellow.between me and you that clearly called agege a tout,who is biased?
Lets summary this.the asaba court gave a judgment and part of which encroached or affected agege.can we now agree that that encroachment is of no effect until an appeal court rules reason being that agege is protect fully by a similar court last year ?

Even though I did not call Omo-Agege a tout...
Of course I am “biased” against anyone who invaded the Senate chamber with thugs to illegally remove its mace of authority! SMH

As for the second part of your post, good judgment counsels me to ignore it. Have a good day.

senatordave1:
Help us answer these questions.was the suit filed by an apc member? If yes,from which faction? [b]Thirdly,did the suit border on which is the recognized faction or not ?[b]

You still do not get it (and frankly it is doubtful your partisanship will allow you to do so)...

For example, you and I can file different suits in different parts of the country in courts of concurrent jurisdiction over the SAME subject matter (eg, over Education Tax or VAT). So long as you and I are NOT joined/impleaeded in each other’s lawsuit through valid service of process (which even Omo-Agege explicitly recognizes), or the cases otherwise consolidated, each of those DIFFERENT courts of concurrent jurisdiction each can reach a DIFFERENT outcome, and each of such outcomes shall constitute a VALID legal order.

Accordingly, the only way to resolve any “conflicting” practical effect by any affected person(s) (in my example, the FIRS and/or collecting businesses) would be by recourse to a higher court. Publishing gibberish in newspapers (or insulting folks on the Internet) is NOT the remedy.

senatordave1:
Is he correct or not ?

NO! First, he does not have to be served/joined in a case against INEC (and/or APC)...

Nonetheless, he is NOT qualified to make such pronouncements (and of course neither am I - nor you). The law courts remain the appropriate forum for the arbitration of such legal disputes. A lawmaker should at the very least grasp the very basic concept of the RULE OF LAW! SMH

senatordave1:
You are so empty,an unrepentant blockhead.you finally ended up at the appeal court.but inorder to put you to shame,let me oblige your gibberish a little.mind you,you even partially justified my write up.firstly,tell us the full judgment of the asaba high court.secondly,mention the parties involved.

I still will not join you in the gutter of personal insults, as I was raised better...

Nonetheless, on the substantive matter at hand, unless you have been operating under a basic comprehension deficit, I did not “end up” at the courts. I started at the courts and stuck to the courts. My counsel to Omo-Agege has always been to do so. AGBEROS won’t help him this time.

Memphitz537:
Thanks for the correction of my typographical error.
I agree with most of the points you made. Where I have a problem with most Nollywood actors and actresses is that they just CAN'T act. Let's be honest,there is no basis for comparing Adesua's achievements with that of Lea Seydoux. Mind you,it's very difficult for a French artist to cross over to Hollywood because of language barrier but she became prominent in less than 10 years. Why?? It's because she's a damn good actress.
Abeg make we stop to dey overhype all these our no talent having muthafuckaz we have as actors and actresses.

Or is it because she is French?

Not sure where you got the notion that French actresses have difficulty in crossing over to Hollywood (so long as they speak English), given that there have been scores of a French actresses in a Hollywood movies before even our parents were born - going back to such actresses as Bridget Bardot and Jeanne Moreau in the 1950s/60s. Even, as I write this, I can easily think of tons of French actresses currently starring in Hollwood just off the top of my head, such as Juliette Binoche, Eva Green, Sophie Marceau, Melanie Laurent, Audrey Flouret, Marion Cotillard, Elodie Fontan, Virginie Efira, and so many others. Heck, even the clumsy Gerard Depardieu once breathe the air of Hollywood royalty.

PS: Btw (and perhaps this should be a discourse for another day and topic), ‘acting’ in Nigerian/African movies should of necessity be different from ‘acting’ in Hollywood/Oyibo movies, because the natural mannerisms of Africans/Nigerians are considerably DIFFERENT from that of Oyibo.

senatordave1:
Oga,shut up.will you keep quiet.what arrogant lie is this.how dare you? Stop talking nonsense here.don't make me say what i dont want to.how can you type rubbish and still have the impudence to claim you are right instead of taking corrections.are you blind to see that a high court already ruled on this matter last year and inec already obeyed.even a mad man knows that only a superior court can vacate this ruling.so you expect inec to now obey this ruling which is worthless? You even claim that it is different parties as if it did not involve erue factions,agege or was filed by someone in the ogodo faction.dont allow hatred for apc to make you vomit trash.or are you in the emerhor faction

Only people who have nothing of substance to contribute and/or have a poor upbringing (or perhaps are worshippers/thugs of Omo-Agege ) resort to insults and ad hominem personal attacks on fellow discussants on a public forum, so I will not join you in that gutter.

To the substantive matter at hand, for the umpteenth time, the Asaba court did NOT “vacate” or “nullify” the ruling of the Abuja court. It simply made a ruling in a DIFFERENT case between DIFFERENT parties (as even the Omo-Agege character explicitly recognizes). Where there exists such a practical lacuna as in this instance of two DIFFERENT and disparate rulings of courts of concurrent jurisdiction effectively affecting the same res or subject matter, the proper resolution is to head to the appellate courts and not to drivel gibberish on the pages of newspapers (or have his worshippers do same on Nairaland). His thugs can steal the mace again, but they CANNOT swear him into office.

Memphitz537:
My attention was particularly drawn to the lady that featured prominently in the said Vogue magazine cover. Her name is Léa Seydoux. She's a French model and actress. Her sojourn into Nollywood began when she played a one scene act only in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds in 2009. She then played another prominent role in Mission Impossible 4(Ghost Protocol) in 2011 and Her most recent role which put her on the Hollywood map was her being the Bond girl in the recent James Bond franchise "Spectre".......
Now,where am I driving at with this? Our very own Adesua's achievements CANNOT be compared to any of the models used on the cover of this magazine because she hasn't achieved anything significant in her career. Truth be told,Adesua CAN'T act. She just has a pretty face and that's where it ends.
Nothing more.

I am sure you meant to write “Hollywood”, nonetheless...

I don’t know what you personally do for a living, but hopefully you do not think that it is worthless or subpar because it is not being done in Oyiboland. The colonalized and subjugated mentality of the miseducated “repeat-after-me” African really needs to be detoxified. Do you know how many hundreds of millions of people Nollywood reaches across Africa, the diaspora and even as far afield as the Caribbean? Abegi, it is all well and good that she has gotten more global attention with the Vogue cover, but it is NOT necessary as a validation of her craft or appeal.

hisexcellency34:
To all you haters, Adesua Etomi- Wellington is three weeks pregnant. I know because i am a family friend

Please you do not even need to share that info...
Whether she’s pregnant or not (or even choose not to be pregnant) is frankly NONE of their business!

Realtord43:
Adesua shud shut up nd get pregnant,

I genuinely feel very sorry for your wife (if somebody did/will actually marry you) and/or your sisters...
As you seem to believe that the only meaningful worth of a (married) woman is to get pregnant. SMDH
