This afonja ugly governor can do anything to deceive the ever gullible zombies.
There is no reasonable project going on in Osun state.
Apc and propaganda are like

I pray fervently that God judge you by this comment and reward you accordingly.
I live in Osogbo and I know what goes on all around the state as a whole.
Every nooks and crannies of the state has one project or the other ongoing as I write and even the opposition knows this.

Carrottop:
bro shut the f*#k up tribalism won't help

Sounds bitter ! There's no tribalism in that.
Ask yourself,why is it that in most cases ibos are culpable in this crime?
Something must be peculiar to the tribe!

What gets me confused is that the visa grants from all these Asiatic countries carry a bold warning that drug trafficking offences carry death penalty. Boldly written on the visa page.
How then will someone sees this and still go ahead to carry drugs ?
I am confused the more!

Please,i felt pain at an isolated part of my foot. I saw doctors and i had drugs without any difference. After about a year,it flew and i didn't feel it again.
I noticed that it moves to the other leg,right foot,and as I write,I still feel the pain despite the fact that I am on different drugs from another doctor whom I gave the background to this ailment. Besides,I equally feel numbness on my upper leg,unabated.
Please,is there anything I can do?

Rape: Osun monarch bags 7
years imprisonment

Osun State High Court has sentenced a monarch
in Osun State, The Loja of Araromi Otokobo
town in Ilesa, Moses Adeniyi to seven
years imprisonment for rapping two teenagers
who were students of St. Margaret School, Ilesa.
After thorough prosecution by the state Ministry
of Justice, the Ilesa Division of Osun State High
court found the 70-year-old monarch guilty of
the offence levelled against him.
The traditional ruler was arraigned in court on
28 of March 2011 on two charges of rape and
indecent assault. The matter had since dragged
on, until Thursday that the final judgement was
delivered.
The prosecuting counsel from Osun Ministry of
Justice, Mr Tijani Adekilekun proved to the court
that the accused committed offences, contrary
to and punishable under Section 358 and 360 of
Criminal Code, Cap 34, Vol.11, Laws of Osun
State.
The presiding judge, Justice Kudirat Akano in
her judgement expressed disappointment in the
accused and sentenced him to seven
years imprisonment at Ilesa maximum prison
without option of fine.
The prosecutor told the court that sometime in
May 2010; the accused threatened the girls with
charms, forcefully deflowered the two
girls, raped them together in a room and
warned them not to inform anyone or else they
would die.
According to the fact of the case, the accused
gave the girls a ride in his car when they were
returning from school. One of the girls was 13-
years-old then while the other was 14-years-old.
Instead of dropping the girls at their house, he
tricked them and took them to a hotel where he
deflowered them. The accused was said to
have used a white handkerchief to wipe the
blood from the vagina the girls when he
deflowered them and warned them not to disclose to their parents. The mother of one of the girls eventual suspected that her daughter was no longer a
virgin and queried the girl to reveal the person that deflowered her. After a lot of persuasion,
the girl told her mother that she could not mention the person because she does not want
to die. The mother took the matter to the school and the teachers assisted the woman to assure the girl that she would not die if she revealed
the person that deflowered her. The girl
eventually narrated what the accused did to her
and her friend.[b][/b]

A PRESS STATEMENT ON THE PETITION PRESENTED BY JUSTICE FOLAHANMI OLOYEDE TO THE OSUN STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY FOR THE IMPEACHMENT OF GOVERNOR RAUF AREGBESOLA.



THIS STATEMENT IS JOINTLY ISSUED BY CHIEF MRS. FOLAKE SOLANKE, S.A.N. AND PROFESSOR ITSE SAGAY, S.A.N.

We note with deep consternation and concern for the dignity and sanctity of the Judiciary, the petition recently sent by the Honourable Justice Folahanmi Oloyede to the Osun State House of Assembly, for the impeachment and removal from office, of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Governor of Osun State. We are disturbed by the source of this petition because it reveals the embarrassing and gross ignorance of the Judge regarding the process for the impeachment of Governors. We are also disturbed by this apparently reckless descent of a Judicial officer into the murky waters of partisan politics.

The process for the removal of a governor by impeachment is clearly set out in Section 188 of the Constitution. It states as follows:

“188 – (1) The Governor or Deputy Governor of a State may be removed from office in accordance with the provisions of this section.

​(2)​Whenever a notice of any allegation in writing signed by not less than one-third of the members of the House of Assembly-

​(a)​is presented to the Speaker of the House of Assembly of the State;

​(b)​stating that the holder of such office is guilty of gross misconduct in the performance of the functions of his office, detailed particulars of which shall be specified….”

Justice Oloyede is clearly not a member of the Osun State House of Assembly. She is not even a member of a Civil Society Organization. She is infact a member of the Judiciary, the third Arm of Government conferred with the responsibility of the interpretation of Laws, including the Constitution and the issuing of Orders, Judgments and Sentences. Indeed, it is the duty of someone in Justice Oloyede’s position to preside over a case for the determination of the issue, whether a purported removal of a Governor by impeachment is valid or not. It is therefore a cause for great embarrassment and shame that a Judge of the High Court is ignorant of the fact that she cannot initiate impeachment proceedings against the Governor. This raises a question whether she is fit to hold the office to which she has been appointed.

From what has been stated above, it is quite obvious that the Osun State House of Assembly acted in gross error in entertaining Justice Oloyede;s petition. That petition is an illegal document which should have been disregarded with contempt by the House. By setting up a Committee to investigate the allegations in the so-called petition, the House itself was displaying its ignorance of the impeachment process.

Even more fundamental is the question whether a judicial officer should be publicly engaged in a bitter public confrontation with any other Arm of Government, particularly the Executive Arm of Government headed by the target of her tirade, the Governor, who appointed her into office. Specifically, is a Judge permitted to make public political comments and engage in public diatribes against the Government and the Governor of the State in which he or she is serving?

The code of conduct for Judicial Officers is replete with provisions requiring a Judicial Officer to act with dignity, decorum and a high standard of conduct. The preamble of the code, for example, provides that a Judicial Officer should actively participate in establishing, maintaining, enforcing and himself observing a high standard of conduct so that the integrity and respect for the independence of the Judiciary may be preserved.

Again, rule 1 paragraph 2 of the Code provides that a judicial officer shall respect and comply with the laws of the land and conduct himself at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the Judiciary. By paragraph 1 of rule 2, a judicial officer is enjoined to be true and faithful to the Constitution and the Law, uphold the course of justice by abiding with the provisions of the Constitution and the law. He or she is enjoined to acquire and maintain professional competence.

Finally, by rule 3(b)(ii), a judge in excising his constitutional right of freedom of expression should always conduct himself in such a manner as to preserve the dignity of his office and the impartiality and independence of the Judiciary.

Now, one may ask; by issuing this angry accusation of fraud, misappropriation of funds and general denunciation of the Governor of her State to the House of Assembly, has Justice Oloyede acted with decorum? Has she conducted herself in a manner that promotes public confidence in the Judiciary? Has she acted with integrity and impartiality with regard to a possible future party in her Court? Has she been true and faithful to the Constitution? Has she conducted herself in such a manner as to preserve the dignity of her office? Should she engage in an open confrontation with her appointor and the head of the Executive Branch of Government? If the answer to all these questions is NO and if she has desecrated the temple of justice and brought down the dignity and respect for the Judiciary, what is she still doing on the Bench?

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this episode in Osun State is the apparent silence of the National Judicial Council in the face of gross breaches of Judicial Etiquette and Code of Conduct by Justice Folahanmi Oloyede. If this open display of indiscipline and crass irresponsibility by Justice Oloyede is left unpunished, the National Judicial Council will be guilty of gross dereliction of duty and the Judiciary in Nigeria will face a bleak future.
