Although I have made up my mind not to comment on the Election of the 25th of February again but I will make an exception today.
Soyombo the real indigenes of Lagos State are very very very angry with the boastful, immature and uncouth language the Obidients have been pouring all over the media( online and offline).
I was born in Lagos,had my primary and secondary education in Lagos and went to government school with the real indigenes of Lagos growing up.
My secondary school education in Lagos State was in a boarding house in a far flung location,where having an ibo name automatically disqualified you from getting admission into the school.
I was admitted because I had both ibo and Yoruba names.
The Crux of my story is I'm in WhatsApp groups with my primary and secondary school friends and the feedback I get everyday from the group is disheartening.
The indigenes of Lagos are very very angry with the loud uncouth noise of the Obidients especially those from ibo extraction.
There's anger from imota to isale eko,from badagry to Epe,the people are seething with rage,even the educated ones are unleashing beastly articles about the occupation that's happening on their Homeland.
The admin of my WhatsApp groups have deleted many inflammatory post in our groups to calm down nerves.
Soyombo should know the mood of the real indigenes of Lagos is that of rage and anger to what they see as a hostile take over of their land.
I pray Sanwo-olu wins with a landslide on Saturday,that's the only thing that can assuage the feeling of anger among those I have talked to.
I will play my part by voting APC from top to bottom on Saturday.
It's an error to keep calling Lagos a no man's land,there are people who call Lagos their state of origin,you must respect the feelings of these real owners of Lagos
God bless Nigeria

Tribal:
Yes, your guess if as good as mine. They are best at Accusing others of their very Own Evil Nature. They are Tinubu passionate Haters, they named him drug lord, yet they are the are the largest singular Tribe among Humanity that are languishing in Indian Jails for carrying Drugs. India has once again Confirmed what USA said that they have the highest Rate of Wife-Killing globally! The are the worst at Mercilessly and Heartlessly using and Dumping Women. After using Wealthy Lola Family to lift their wretched family from chronic Poverty into riches, their whole heartless pathological Ingrate family tried for force Peter of P Square to dump her. But Peter was Wiser than them.

Truf:
If you’re still tribalistic in this day and time, you should get your head checked. This thread reeks of bigots! Spits!

SaintLucia:
Do you know that Peter Obi didn't attend any church service yesterday like he used to do before the election and neither has he wish Pastor Adeboye birthday?

Asour:
Of course facts are facts.
But FACTS mean nothing in and of themselves.

For instance, The number '2' means nothing on its own.
Its meaning derives from its interpreted context.

Consequently, if the interpretations you've drawn from facts (in law) are different from what I have drawn from the same facts (in the same law), who helps to arbitrate?
Isn't it courts?

To the extent that ANYTHING in law (CBN or any other Acts) can be disagreed on, such a disagreement must be arbitrated by a law court.

If I as a person have an issue with the CBN Can't I take them to court?

Why not allow the court interpret whether or not I can take anything to it. Whether or not it can sit on a matter.

Your verdict on whether a matter can/cannot be taken to the Supreme court is an OPINION in itself.

Cheers.

Asour:
What you call "Facts" mean nothing until interpreted.

You're making an interpretation WHICH is a court's responsibility.

The supreme Court rules on ALL matters under the sun. And Yes including the CBN.

BreconHills:
This is NOT monetary policy. Monetary policy has well established ways of mopping up excess cash. If you issue a bond at an attractive rate it will mop up currency. If you adjust bank reserve limits upwards, it will mop up currency.

This is not a currency change because in a currency change as the name implies one swaps old notes for new. This is naira confiscation because it deprives account holders access to their funds and undermines the relationship between the bank and the account holder. Every account holder has the right to withdraw his money in part or on whole from any commercial bank ON DEMAND. This right has been taken away - by what authority or what legislation?

Btw any court can make an orders or such ancillary orders as to give effect to his judgement. So the putting of a date on the currency swap period is well within the authority of the court.

Re my putting words in the mouth of the original poster. The original poster implied that the SC had no jurisdiction over the actions of the President because they relate to monetary policy. Sorry, but the Court has a right to hear cases brought before it. Secondly where any office holder holding power under the Constitution has their powers or the extent of those powers questioned then the court can decide if the said official or person has acted ultra vires or outside the scope of those powers.

In the President case, no President has the power to place limits on how much an account holder can take from his own account unless it is under emergency powers or an amendment of the CBN Act.

Anyone questioning the right of the Supreme Court to question the limits of a duly elected person's authority is a closet fascist who supports executive tyranny.

Asour:
What you're saying it an interpretation. (Right or wrong).

Where parties are at loggerheads about what is deemed right/legal, Courts come in.

Interpretation not necessarily as a subject matter expert but to listen to aggrieved parties with a view to upholding justice — according to the law.

Supreme courts all over the World (including Nigeria) have adjudicated on all sorts of matters for which they aren't Subject experts.

lexy2014:
what reason is that?

lexy2014:
According to you:

"Why are "the law courts (including the Supreme Court) are neither empowered nor equipped to determine which policies of the executive branch are substantively ‘good’ or ‘bad'"?

I asked...Where did you get that from?

Was the policy made in accordance with the law or the constitution?

streetfabulous:
The Supreme court is not challenging the powers of CBN to create and drive monetary policies.
Please understand that even with the powers CBN has, there are certain monetary policies that the Apex bank cannot take unilaterally without proper consultation with key stakeholders and economic decision makers in the country.
The Supreme court is faulting the recklessness of implementation in that the CBN did not even consult the Council of state, Federal executive Council, National Economic Council e.t.c.

The CBN governor went straight to the President who demonstrated ignorance by signing the policy without demanding that the CBN carry out the necessary consultations.

Hence, the court rebuked Buhari for acting ultra vires and as a DICTATOR. This recklessness on the part of CBN and Buhari created aggrieved parties and represents a breach of fundamental human rights.
That is why the Supreme court insisted that they have a right to hear the case because if the powers you have infringes on human rights and creates aggrieved parties then the court can hear the matter. After all, every power, even the powers of CBN and the President is derived from the Law.

According to you:

"The constitutional power of Judicial Review granted to the judiciary is limited to deciding if laws/policies are in compliance with the law"

Did the judgment by the supreme court not address the above?

Ewoooo!!! Chineke, oga abeg I'm not interested in all these Patrick Obaihagbon over-sylabus English biko. Ambode is in his mansion enjoying pls I don't dwell in such inconsequential past issue.

Free me, pls let's talk present.

FreedomArmy:
So supreme court is now overseeing monetary policies in Nigeria? Wonders shall never end.
The daily limit on withdrawal is actually a good idea. This has drastically reduced kidnapping and other forms of criminal activities in the country.

HellVictorinho7:
nonsense

HomoSapiien:
Na Ogun go kill you with this assertion. Had to trek long distance today because of this silly policy. No cash. No PoS to collect cash from even if the charges are supper high. Yet you dey say this nonsense?
I cannot transfer from my access bank since Monday now
You know how many businesses that’s run down because of this policy?
Again, na Ogun go kill yoi

These are the results of bad Government. They can use millions of dollars for electoral process manipulation but can't provide decent means of lifelihood for the populace. Though we can't justify criminality, but some of the people of this country are really suffering. A good number of persons from the ruling party can effortlessly purchase the 100 million Naira expression of interest form, and a graduate since 2018 could not secure a good job opportunity. We need to reclaim the stolen mandate.

benjackugo:
Nigerian Investigative journalist, Fisayo Soyombo has said that Lagos State Neighbourhood Watch mandated corps members to submit their Permanent Voters Card (PVCs), IGBERETV reports.

https://twitter.com/fisayosoyombo/status/1631750617776488453?t=7LoxXD2ShMQIFykMDqjVMg&s=19[/quote]It seems from the various reports on NL that the Lagos government is MANDATING all state employees for vote for Sanwo-Olu and APC or lose their jobs, as only APC members paid taxes used to pay Sanwo-Olu and government employees.

My Boss who is an LP supporter also did same for us here in Lagos Ogba to be precised...He ask us to all com wt PVC dose without wer givin punishment and dose dat show der he wrote dwn our names..He didnt open his mouth to say vote LP...But the threat was much..to the fact dat if LP loses our job is at stake..We stil dey pray lik dis...Igbos in Lagos are mkin the whole tin sickenin

Another strain of “the rigging is free and fair” defense…

Even assuming the veracity of your tori…
The difference is the boss here made it CLEAR who they should vote for.

Tee2027:
Unfortunately the answer you are looking for is with Ambode himself. Pls ask him what went wrong between him, a particular senator to be, the people that chose him and anointed him before he became the governor?

Ask him how did he treated Aregbesola as a governor of Osun as at then when Aregbe came all the way from Osun to meet Ambode in Alausa to resolve the matter before it degenerated to his removal? Pls look for Ambode to answer those questions or possibly ask Aregbe to narrate the whole thing to you.

Mr man, listen and listen good anybody who love betraying the hand that fed him deserve no pity, so therefore if Sanwo will be unseated then Jendor or Jandor of pdp should take over anything outside that bro its dead on arrival. That is my stand.

Moreso, naturally I hate anything LP and for them to worsen the case they chose a man I so hated(obi) the way I hate Buhari as their presidential candidate, biko no story plsss free me.

I hate LP and hate Obi with passion. Thanks.

So removing Ambode has nothing to do with the good of the PEOPLE but with bruised egos of megalomaniac politicians?!
Epitomizes the bane of governance in Nigeria - government of Politicians, by Politicians, for the sole benefit of Politicians! SMDH

FreeStuffsNG:
How is bringing your PVC to work an issue?Which law is broken? You were given days off for that single purpose to collect your PVC yet you do not want to show the PVC to your employer when you claimed to have collected it during the days off work LASG gave you. Those days you took as off days to collect PVC were paid for with my tax so LASG should affirm it was well used!If you took those days off yet have no PVC then you will answer query and refund those days off to LASG

When the endtime fake prophecies religious charlatans all over Igboland were asking their pumped up hate-filled bigoted members to bring their PVCs to 'audit' the votes for lp in their gathering, the lp mob were hailing them. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/06/27/anambra-cleric-declares-operation-show-your-pvc-in-church/

So how is that of Onikan now different? If you like do not show your PVC, it is between you and your management. O ti ri işe imi ni ile epo niyen.

For how long shall we have socially irresponsible citizens? Show your PVC then go to your PU and vote.

The PVC collcted was about 7m but only about 1m voted. That is because institutions did not complement the effort of INEC.

Congrats to my President-Elect Asiwaju Tinubu.

Bro, which part are you struggling with - the reading or the basic comprehension part?

Employees are being asked to bring in their PVCs so the hospital can figure out where their polling units are and how the hospital can ensure that they “assist our employer not to loose (sic)”. Primitive folks in positions of authority who cannot differentiate between politics and governance. APC members are NOT the only taxpayers in Lagos, and Lagos taxpayers funds should not be DIVERTED towards assisting the APC’s electoral efforts or such other partisan political purposes.

donphilopus:
From the results posted on the IREV portal, one Miss Cynthia Okeke acted as the Presiding Officer and party agents for other political parties including APC in Abia State. Peter Obi won the polling unit according to the results recorded by Cynthia.
