Oga Gazzuzz, thanks once again for the gift.

Received it and went on to plan the job. Remember i told you all the plastic tops i got are 1cm longer, same is this radiator. However, it will fit as a complete replacement with some few additional things to do. One of such is the radiator cap, mine is 1.1 bar while the replacement is 0.9 bar. Also, 2 of 3 cooling fan assembly bolts match with one off. The 2 top radiator mounts also match.

What am not sure is the bottom radiator mounts and the fan assembly, if they match. My guess is that the radiator bottom mount will match and maybe 2 of 3 buttom fan assembly should match too.

I need to purchase a 0.9bar cap and clean radiator before i proceed.

So this has been my experience I think for the past 2 - 3 years. Don't really understand why, but the evidence doesn't lie. BTW I always use the AC except on cold mornings.

Prior to the dry season LTFT is almost close to -10%, its always above - 5%. Also, from fill up to half tank I get about 170miles. NB: I round up to the nearest hundred once the dispenser clicks. In contrast, for the dry season I consistently get =or+190miles (306km) by half tank. Also as you will see in the pic attached my LTFT this morning was - 3.9%

I get petrol from the same filling station all year round. And true, I may use less AC in the cold mornings of the dry season, but I would expect the LTFT to be similar.

Does anyone else experience this improved fuel economy? Car is an 03 Accord LX.

Would love to see you live data at idle. Especially ignition timing advance, engine load and others.

Thank you very much for taking your time to address my questions in a simple way that satisfied my curiosity.
My layman thinking was that cracks should start from the bottom since that's where the movement starts from but I now know better even though I don't fully comprehend the tension part but it's enough for me.
My most experienced painter always suggests widening of cracks and introducing wire mesh like someone already stated above for major cracks but I don't know how effective it would be in the event of continuous settlement.
I appreciate your enlightenment sir.

There are cracks that start from the bottom, but those are rare.

Let me shed more light with illustrative diagrams below.

The dotted lines represents the resultant shift of the part of the building which foundation has failed. Note that, the side which experiences differential settlement still has a little support left if not the building will break away at the cracked point. Usually, the magnitude of the crack is proportional to the settlement.

gbadexy:
I'm curious and would like to hear expert opinion on why the cracks appear to start from the top and gets less prominent at the base, why the cracks didn't reach the base, why a second set of crack in the third and fourth pictures started from the top and stopped few feet without continuing down and if cracks that resulted from differential settlement occur towards horizontal plane.
I noticed the crack branched off from the window hood area.
There are cosmetic means that could cover the cracks through the use of flexible fillers but the professionals would be able to explain the cause and tell if it's something that is likely to continue over time.
I anticipate possible cause from the professionals so that we could learn a thing or two new things.

To professionally explain this is like going to a Civil or structural engineering class.

It is easier to Google "differential settlement" than for me to explain since you will find tons of illustrations graphical items to expose the concept better. The summary i will give will just be like giving you facts without proof. What you seem to be asking is proof of facts.

Simply, the dynamics with which cracks occur causes a point of highest tension and points of low tension. Cracks happen at the point of highest tension and decipates as it approaches where tension is low. With differential settlement, tension is highest at the top and so cracks start there.

One reason cracks avoid most windows is because of the lintel which in most cases is reinforced. Reinforcement bars are very good tensile resisting structural members so the crack would logically transfer or change course to less tension resisting parts of the structure. This is the reason most people would suggest a chain lintel which would be effective in stopping cracks but will not eliminate settlements. However, the problem is still existing despite the chain lintel and would manifest only under greater settlement stresses.

Other settlement problems can be seen below.

This type of love towards Buhari is beyond comprehension. It seems people deliberately want him compensated with their votes for something I don't know despite his fraity. February looks positive for Buhari though.
Need a website/blog/software for your business, company, ideas, schools, etc?
Check my signature for my contacts.

With the way you are amazed, i predicted long ago that PDP's shocker is still waiting for them 2019. PDP needs a back to the drawing board approach.

My pity is for the SE who think they will make a mark 2019 or get a chance 2023.

Like i said before, 2019 is for the NW, 2023 and 2027 is SW then back to north 2031 and 2035. SE can only smell Aso villa around 2039 if they realize the need to work with the Northerners.

While SE, the least populated geopolitical zone continues to voice out their grievance with the north, the North is aligning with the SW to fight back quietly.

SalamRushdie:
what is stopping you form mobilizing people from other regions to shout the South East down? keep fooling yourself but know 90 percent to Nigerians want Buhari out Now!!!!!

Unfortunately, 90% of Nigerians will not vote him out. What an irony!

jarkbauer:
Truth is this. Gazzuzz is a moderator here on nairaland. He deletes any bad thread about him.

But he kept this one https://www.nairaland.com/4956645/how-gazzuzz-charged-me

Lets vote Atiku because he went to the US.

As you know all this ashawo pricing for abuja.
I they fear you

Just an analogy bro.

Ashawo na service provider too.

fuckboys:
Go around Auto/car-talk section and see if you can find just one thread that's about Nairalanders telling gazzuzz the truth, No you won't. Then go around Auto/car-talk section again and look for threads singing his praises, of cos you'd see dozens.

Of cos we all know dozens have been created against him and they disappear into thin air, but the ones created for him still remains for all to see


Now what does this tell you about Auto/car-talk section?

Search the whole NL, ask outside NL, am sure you will not find one person who was scammed by Gazzuzz.

Your issues with him is obviously his price. On that, this analogy will suffice. Ashawo for Wuse II charges 20k per night, drive down to Utako, same class of ashawo charges 5k for same service. Is the Wuse ashawo a scammer? Do you know how much of the 20k she spends to set up business in Wuse? For all we know, they both could be taking home same amount even with the wide difference their customer pays.

Before you label someone a scammer, he must have fraudulently obtained something from you. Show us the scam Gazzuzz commited and i will delete my NL account in shame.

frank202012:
you didn't answer the question

Your question was "which part of the north isn't arewa?".

Let me translate the only Hausa word in your question and see if it makes sense in your question.

which part of the north isn't north?

The point i am driving, using the new IGP as a case, you or most people will say he is from the north forgetting he is actually from the NC.

But when Okwonkwo is appointment, you dont say he is from the South, we say he is from the SE.

Referring to appointments to the north as Northerners is portraying the 3 geopolitical zones in the north as one.

With this argument, the new IGP Adamu is not from the North but from the North Central.

FADEO:
good morning my people. I have a question, How long after Decking is ideal to start the upper floor. Can the upper floor block work commence a day after the decking is casted. or I have to wait for the standard 28 days minimum? and what are the implication and advantage of either case.

7 days on condition, that all the support props (bamboo) are not removed and still firm.

If props are removed, 28days.

If props are partially removed,14 - 21 days.

I have seen people proceed to build on the 2nd day, i would have asked them to atleast wait til 3rd day.

Concrete with ordinary portland cement will set to about 35% of its final strenght in 3days, 70% in 7days and finally 100% in 28days.

At 3days, its risky business but at 7 days with an adequate design, its safe to proceed with caution (props still in place). At 7 days and with temporary supports in place, we can safely assume concrete has reached 100% strength since even the dead weight of the structural members is still being carried by temporary supports.

However, it also depends on the floor level of construction. Say you casted the 5th floor slab, the props are transmitting all the loading onto the 4th floor slab. Any additional loading on the 5 floor slab is carried by the 4th and you risk exceeding the design load for the 4th floor slab.

That is why a high rise building is best built as a frame structure before partition or other loading will commence after concrete has reached full strength.

I pity Buhari when the country burns. He will be killed like a common criminal. All dictators once had the feeling of invincibility.

Classic case of gullibility.

frank202012:
which part of the north isn't arewa?

Lagos is Igbo land in that case.

Am sure you didn't know that "Arewa" is the Hausa word for "North". With this new info, how does your above post make any sense.

Ppl of Igbo extraction want to be treated as SE, Yorubas are known with SW and the Kalabari, Ijaw, Ibibio, Urobo etc call themselves South South.

Just because the Nupe, Igala, Tiv, Berom dont call themselves North Central does not mean they dont exist and are grouped as North. Also, the Gwari, Kataf, Bajju, Kagoro, Moroa, Jaba, Adara, Ninzo and over 250 tribes of Southern Kaduna are lost within the populations of Hausa/Fulani in the North West, they also cease to exist so you prefer to compare political appointments like Nigeria is 4 geopolitical zones with the Hausa/Fulani having only Northern geopolitical zone, Yoruba SW, Igbo SE and the SS is the only arrangement you see. Weldone.

Whatever. I'm glad the guy got it fixed for less.

One barbershop cuts hair N200, another cuts same hair N500 and gets up to 1k. This is not even home service. Heck, you could cut your own hair with a N20 razor blade or a N100 shaving stick.

Its was his choice, why the name calling if he could not afford to do it Gazzuzz way.

GAZZUZZ:
I'm sorry sir, it was 50k and this is the thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/4956645/how-gazzuzz-charged-me

That thread should not have been closed. Is there a chance it will reopen?

I couldn't wait to finish 2 paragraphs before hitting "quote" but got a shocker "Topic locked". Thought it was something i pressed, press back button on my phone then quote again before i realised what has happened.

Do as well specify which part of the north whenever you mention the north.

It was a triple celebration for a Nigerian lady based in the US, Anita Festus, when her boyfriend of many years, Dozie Nwafor, proposed to her on her birthday in December and also gave her a brand new car for accepting to marry him.

Brand new car ke, brand new is a term abused in Nigeria

I can clearly see a dent on the fender even as the car should not be more than a 2010 car. Can someone remind me how to buy this 2010 Honda Accord brand new in 2019.

Tundemuttee:
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, on Monday, challenged the jurisdiction of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja, to try him over his alleged failure to declare his assets.

The CJN, who stalled his planned arraignment following his refusal to appear before the Justice Danladi Umar’s led three-member panel tribunal, was however represented by a consortium of 89 lawyers that comprised of 46 Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

The legal team, which was led by a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, and a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Kanu Agabi, SAN, told the tribunal that their appearance at the proceeding was “in protest.”

Olanipekun told the tribunal that the CJN has already filed a motion dated January 14, to challenge the jurisdiction of the tribunal to hear the charges FG levelled against him.

“My lord, we are not just challenging jurisdiction, we are even challenging the jurisdiction of this tribunal to even sniff that charge. We have served the Complainant/Respondent”, Olanipekun submitted.

Though the said motion was not moved, nevertheless, a member of the team who spoke to Vanguard on condition of anonymity, said the CJN would capitalise on FG’s failure to channel the petition against him, as well as the outcome of the investigation that was purportedly conducted on his assets declaration forms by the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, to the National Judicial Council, NJC, before it rushed the case to the CCT.

The CJN is contending that FG’s failure to abide by existing judicial precedent as encapsulated in a recent Appeal Court’s decision in Nganjiwa v Federal Republic of Nigeria (2017) LPELR-43391(CA), to the effect that any misconduct attached to the office and functions of a judicial officer, must first be reported to and handled by the NJC, pursuant to the provisions of the laws.

He argued that only after the NJC has pronounced against such judicial officer could prosecuting agencies of the Federal Government proceed to initiate a criminal proceeding.

Consequently, placing reliance on a recent decision of the CCT on a similar charge FG lodged against another Justice of the Supreme Court, Sylvester Ngwuta, the CJN’s legal team, maintained that FG’s decision to sideline the NJC, stripped the tribunal of its jurisdiction to entertain the instant case.

By the way, last time Buhari had the cause to send representatives to court, the opposition called him names for simply not providing his WAEC instead of all the lawyers. Now the opposition are in support of a CJN who admits guilt but showed up in court with more than 3 dozen SANs while dragging the judiaciary aground behind him.

festacman:
My SUBJECTIVE take on the ongoing trial of CJN Walter Onoghen is captured by the following assumptions, scenarios, conspiracy theory, deductions and implication.

1. Some highly placed politicians in Nigeria are experts in using blackmail to have their ways. Recently, the former Finance minister Mrs. Kemi Adeosun' NYSC certificate "mistake" was used as a blackmail tool by key NASS members into making her to agree to anything they put on the table.

2. By their nature people like Atiku, Saraki & co "buy" relevant and strategic decision makers as 'franchises' and manipulate them to do their biddings in subtle ways. At the height of his problem with Obasanjo, former VP Atiku boasted that he had control of Governors' Forum, NASS leadership, and the judiciary and could easily remove former president Obasanjo if he so desired. To which Obasanjo quipped that unfortunately for Atiku, he had no control over God.

3. So this "mistake" by CJN Onnoghen constitutes a potential weapon of blackmail and manipulation to control the CJN in post elections matters. I am suspecting that this "mistake" might have been used by Senator Saraki to stunningly wriggle out of his false asset declaration case.

4. As stage is set for 2019 elections, APC strategists may have been scared that Atiku, Saraki, Wike & co may use this 'mistake' to blackmail and manipulate the CJN into doing their biddings. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the immediate Justice following CJN by seniority cannot be engineered by PDP heavyweights to raise a damning petition against the CJN thereby forcing the president to appoint their man as CJN.

5. So the FGN decided to nip it in the bud before election by hurriedly arranging this trial.
Bypassing NJC when they know the position of law appeared deliberate. Of course, referring the matter to NJC will require CJN to recuse himself, which will be counter-productive.

6. In spite of all the drama, I suspect that this strategic move is all a well-scripted ploy that will legally remove both legal and moral burdens from CJN and give him freedom to do his job. In other words, CJN Onoghen may come out of this case looking "smelling roses".

On The Flip Side
However if this trial is not a script, it will surely have a far reaching consequences as it will instill feverish apprehension in Nigerian politicians who all have skeletons in their cupboards. The issue is, "if a whole CJN cannot be spared before elections, what will happen to mere politicians after elections and swearing in". Consequently, to save their heads, these politicians will secretly but strongly collaborate across partieslines to stop president Buhari from getting 2nd term.

**********
As I said in the beginning, it is a purely subjective view, which eventually may turn out as the opposite of the eventual outcomes. But hey! I love brainstorming.

I like your brainstorm.

ehissi:
False........This is the opinion the APC led government shares when they want to interpret the law to suit their political inactions.

First of all, the CCT can't try the President and can't even try the CJN.

The reason is clear, whatever comes out of this trial is a mere suggestion, one injunction from a high court will set aside the entire judgement like pampers whey baby shiit put, that is why Falana rightly judged it as a misadventure.

It's like the nonsense Justice Abang did, when he nullified Ikpeazu's mandate as governor of abia state, on the stupid basis that he forged tax clearance. No recourse to Abia inland revenue service or abia state government who was his employer, you just sat down in your court and entertained a suit from an ordinary citizen on a criminal case and decided that it is fake, is it not the job of the state to prosecute such cases? Is it the job of a civil servant to prepare tax clearance or the employer - in this case a government agency - that pays the tax and collect clearance of behalf of the employee?

By time the appeal court received that case eh, they tore the judgement apart, small thing they would have accused Justice Abang of collecting bribe. Judgement that a 100level law student cannot even recommend, a whole high court judge through interpretation stood the law and justice on its head. Shameful

The only challenge is that the move to justice is a slow marathon and not a sprint, hence APC led FG have the effontry to bring it, knowing that even if the real trial fails, the media trial may succeed and cast a shadow on Justice Onnoghen, by the time the case is closed, some other national issues will distract Nigerians from this charade.

Justice Danladi doesn't have jurisdiction and will be stupid to release any judgement whatsoever, he will simply adjourn judgement delivery and dismiss the case like he did Saraki's case.

He will just play around with it and throw it out much later.

You dey here abang name anywhere? When you start delivering judgements coloured with bias, you will find yourself gradually losing a grip on your career as a judge.

That's the truth. Except you are dealing with a person who is just anti-establishment in political ideology or posture, no soud lawyer or jurist will applaud this nonsense.

And I say it again, CCT cannot try CJN neither can it try any executive. Only 2/3 vote in parliament of competent jurisdiction can take out an executive. If CCT releases a judgement, the best it can do is to communicate it to state of federal parliament.

They will debate its merit and then impeach the executive, only then can the judgement apply, if not, the judgement is not worth the paper it is written on.

CJN is way out of CCT's league, watch, observe and learn

Some of you like talking gibberish and assuming everyone is as partisan as yourself.

Just like NASS budget functions as prescribed in the constitution has overstretched to beyond their responsibility such that they interfere with day to day executive matters, so is the Judiciary claiming immunity through the backyard.

While the NJC law is meant for Judicial matters while CCB is for all public officers. Which one supercedes. The Judiciary is claiming this law protects them from the police, EFCC, ICPC and other independent courts such as the CCT.

Just like the Judiciary is independent, CCT is also independent of all the 3 arms of government. The constitution places all public officers under the CCB. From the President to the local government cleaner.

ehissi:
Bros When the chairman of the NJC in the person of the CJN is under review he is by proper conduct not to participate in judicial review nor vote over his review, vice chairman takes over.

He will simply absent himself from such sitting and not resign all together. That is the standard.

Nevertheless, that is not an excuse to accuse and arraign the head of the third arm of the Nigerian government, the judiciary in less than 72hrs.

For crying loud, when was he accused, investigated and arraigned for prosecution? The only Chief Justice of the Nigeria Supreme court that the south has produced since 1987, is treated like a motor park tout.

For your information, police is under the Judiciary as an arm of government. The law says he must be exonerated or dismissed based on review/recommendations made by NJC, why will any government start doing all this rubbish.

And they chose to use Justice Danladi, who went to the former Comptroller general of customs to demand #100million Naira bribe under Jonathan administration to try him.

Danladi used restraining order to push away EFCC till date. It was when they wanted to get saraki in CCT, that EFCC came all of a sudden and claimed that Danladi has been cleared of all charges when the former CG of customs presented proof to the same EFCC of his demand for bribe and is still insisting that Danladi came to ask for 100million Naira bribe or he will have him charged to his court.

It was when they charged Former customs boss to his court, that CG went to a highe court to get an order to assign another judge since he cannot be sitting in a court, receiving judgement from a justice who has a penchant for blackmailing public office holders......

You made sense with the bolded which i agree with you but would rather disregard all you wrote thereafter.

In my opinion, the constitution is the problem and we have been exposing all the loopholes in the constitution without plugging them. Since you are conversant with the law, i wish to ask you, can the CCT try a serving president?

Am sure your answer is no, why, He (VP and governors inclusive) enjoy immunity by the constitution.

Meanwhile, the NJC law says NJC has powers to:
(g) appoint, dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over members and staff of the Council;

Am not a lawyer but the law has a flaw of not specifically limiting this law to the issues of their duties as justices.

One person made an observation that if the CJN or any other member of the council shoots and kill anyone in front of witness. Is it the NJC that will exercise diciplinary control over that member even before the police file criminal charges?

As far as am concerned, the CCB has power over all public officers and even the president. No law (even the immunity the president ) overcomes that of the CCB.

Thank you for this elaborate piece. Unfortunately 150 SANs that want to defend the CJN don't see things this way. I was carefree when I was not educated, but I became angry when I was, because you wonder how can people that were educated in the best schools can be so daft, like they were never taught these things you know in school.

Now the Children of hate are blind to the fact that the CJN has admitted he erred. They will never see any sense in what you wrote.

Tell me where we are headed as a country.

Your very own teacher who refined your common sense with logical sense is now exhibiting total "lack of sense" or better still "total disregard for common sense".

It hurts me that SANs and doing this to us.

Stop talking brashly.

The CJN is just one member of the NJC with just one vote. Decisions of the Council are put to vote. Its like presenting a case before the senate stating that the President of the senate is corrupt.

It will go through the house ethics on committee. The report of the committee will be debated upon and put to a vote.

The Senate President will simply exclude himself from such debate and handover to his deputy to handle the preceedings.

Thats how its done. Stop typing radarada upandan, abi na you them send come replace MC oluomo seh?

And who is going to preside over the votes?

First and foremost, being the accused, he is morally not supposed to vote. Secondly, he cannot preside over voting over his own case. If it were another member of the NJC, that member will be excused from that meeting that will decide his case. Can the chairman in this case be excused? No. It is the chairman that should morally excuse himself in the interest of the institution.

nawebco:
Hello all. I feel that I need to put in my two bits in the Onoghen CCB debate. First let me tell you where I stand. I am for strong institutions & the rule of law. I believe that the law should be no respecter of persons. With that foundation, please follow me on this journey

Facts only:
a) Has the CJN been removed, answer is NO?
b) Can the President remove the CJN, the answer is Yes/No
c) Can the CJN be arraigned before the CCB? The answer to me is inconclusive, but I will be rooting for YESS and I will explain as we go on further.

Can the President Remove the CJN?
Yes he can remove the CJN but on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the NJC itself is advised by the Federal Judicial Service Commission. Please see the following images which are excerpts from the Constitution

From the provisions it is clear that the President must receive recommendations from the NJC before he can appoint or remove Onnoghen & if fact other S.Ct Justices /Justice of Federal Courts. This is in consonance with the principles of Separation of Powers with checks & balances

You will observe from the provisions of the Const. that the CJN is a member of the two bodies that have a say in his removal. This very fact again offends another very key maxim of equity which is "nemo judex in causa sua" meaning that "you cannot be a judge in your own cause"

What can propel the FJSC and the NJC to start proceedings against the Chairman of their respective boards? The Attorney General must send in a petition to the NJC and ask them to investigate their own chairman and recommend him for removal. We can all see the legal conundrum

Who will nominate the judge that is next in line to the CJN to start the process of investigating the CJN & what is there to investigate? The CJN has admitted all charges brought against him by the CCB. From this point of view, the NJC need no further evidence? CJN is wrong.

So what should happen? How does the FGN go forward on this. Judging by all the conundrum of the NJC, should the FGN do nothing when it is obvious that the NJC will likely do nothing? How does the FGN which has the right of initiating the prosecutorial process go on?

The FGN through the CCB initiates a trial before the CCT? Was the CCB right or wrong? We again go to the Constitution. What are the functions & duties of the CCB? The Constitution tries to entrench transparency & accountability in public servants by requiring asset declaration

The CJN is a public officer who is caught smack at the centre of this misbehaviour. It is important to note that the CJN HAS NO IMMUNITY. So nothing stops CCB from arraigning him before CCT on false declaration of assets. I believe the case of Nganjiwa Vs FRN can be distinguished

Before I distinguish the two situations let us look at what awaits the CJN at the CCT. Again we look at the Constitution.

If the CJN is found guilty (& in this case he has admitted guilt anyway) the CCT can remove him from office, ban him from future office for 10 years, confiscate assets & other punishment which the NASS has prescribed. Has NASS or will NASS ever prescribe additinal punishment?

Now to distinguish Nganjiwa Vs FRN to this CJN scenario, mind you this is what I shall be arguing if I were the FGN's lawyer. Nganjiwa J, was arrested and arraigned on charges of corruption under EFCC Act

The charges are strictly criminal. In CJN's case he is arraigned under a specific law -Code of Conduct which is what it says a rule for public servants that guides their behaviour. It is not stricto sensu a crime but a failure to act judiciously & for which the punishments...

are also not stricto sensu jail term. Is there a need of recourse to the NJC in a case where another govt constitutional constituted body has powers to decide on a specific infraction? I would submit no. The FGN should have this issue decided as a preliminary issue because

there seems to be a judicial protectionism which is sneaking in Immunity that the constitution has not granted to judicial officers. The CJN has been arraigned, let us test the constitution and the powers it gives and where there is need for a reform in law, let us do so.

The administration of justice in Nigeria is being rubbished if the CJN continues in office knowing that he has lost credibility to preside. We as Nigerians do not know the damage we do to our own institutions when we carry on with the prism of ethnicity & politicking

Every single decision of the S.Ct on corruption that had Onnoghen as a member of the panel is under a hue, from now onwards he is impotent. It is similar to @HMKemiAdeosun's case. He needs to resign since he knows he cannot be sacked. That is the right thing to do.

As for me, I would continue to urge the FGN to bring all these issues to the public, not minding the times or seasons. We need to hold public officers accountable & they need to hold themselves accountable. The CJN, having admitted wrong doing needs to resign honourably.

3 gbosa for you.

Gbosa! Gbosa!! Gbosa!!!

When will Nigerians, learned and non learned choose the right and moral issues over partisanship.

What ever national issue we have, 95% of Nigerians will tow the partisan line.

If this CJN after admitting his guilt doesnot resign, while having the support of some Nigerians not to, we are damaging our own institutions by ourselves.

Abiodun Nejo, Ado Ekiti

Legal luminary, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), has described the proposed trial on Monday of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged failure to fully declare his assets as “denigration of the country’s Judiciary and Constitution.”


He also noted the constitutional provision which stipulates that any infraction by judges must first be investigated and then resolved by the National Judicial Council, “to the exclusion of any other body or authority.”

Babalola, in a statement on Sunday entitled, Proposed arraignment of the Hon Justice Walter Onnoghen: Again, I say two wrongs do not make a right, said the law had made clear the processes for the trial of judicial officers and as well their removal, hence the need to desist from “contempt and denigration of the judiciary.”

He said: “I am of the view that the Constitution requires that any infraction by the said judges be firstly investigated and resolved by the National Judicial Council, to the exclusion of any other body or authority.”

Babalola, who stated that the decision of the Court of Appeal in Nganjiwa v Federal Republic of Nigeria (2017) LPELR-43391(CA) “still subsists and has not been set aside,” said: “I therefore see no justification for the decision to arraign the CJN before the CCT.”

Continuing, he argued, “Again, the point must be made clear that the Constitution clearly provides for the procedure with which the CJN can be removed from office.

“Section 292 (1)(a)(i) and 292 (1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended) addressed it.”

According to him, given the clear provisions for trial and removal of judges, “It becomes more worrying to learn that, aside from laying the proposed charges, the prosecution has also filed an application for an order directing the CJN to recuse himself from office pending the conclusion of the trial.”

The senior advocate said: “By proceeding as proposed, the government is unwittingly or, perhaps, deliberately, creating a wrong impression in the minds of millions of Nigerians that the Judiciary is a criminal organisation.

“For the sake of our democracy, this is a misconception that must not be allowed to fester.

“No country, no matter how well intentioned its political leaders are, can aspire to greatness if its judicial arm is denigrated and held in contempt.

“While the Judiciary itself must be awake to its huge responsibilities, its efforts in this regard will surely not be helped by the erosion of its independence,” the SAN stated.

Any complaint that a public officer has committed a breach of or has not complied with the provisions of this Act shall be made to the Bureau."

The way Nigeria is going, makes me alarmed. Agreed, he is partly right in saying there is a laid down procedure in removing the CJN. The question i put to him is, has the CJN being removed? Is it wrong to ask the CJN in the interest of the Judiciary to step aside? The matter of sit tight in office no matter what is one of the things morally killing Nigeria. Morally, the CJN ought to have resigned by now in a sane world but nothing is sane here.

Am not holding forth for the FG especially if these allegations are just a ruse to get him out of office. Only the CCT can decide so let the court do its job.

Wallade:
What stupid law was broken? The accusations you trumped up against CJN remain allegations until proven in the court of law.

Besides, if you want to follow the law, why haven't you prosecuted Babachir. Recently, we got the information about Issa Funtua's manipulation and corrupt practice in connivance with EFCC & CBN. Your PMB govt is still to prosecute these guys and other corrupt folks in your fold but you wanna take on the judiciary.

You have failed.

Just because you are partisan, every one is.

Asset declaration is a law and punishable offense. What proof have you against the FG that the CJN declared his assets.

Please feel free to present it to the CJN's lawyers or media and stop politicizing everything and everyone.

OEPHIUS:
Buhari Trying to Illegally Remove CJN

Earlier today, the Federal Government in a desperate bid to forestall democratic process on the countdown to Nigeria's Presidential elections, asked the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen to immediately resign as Head of Nigeria's judiciary over a very weak allegation of false asset declaration.

To further display their desperate tactics, the FG is planning to arraign the CJN before Justice Danladi if the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja.

Sources close to the CJN have revealed that the Chief Justice is unfazed by the theatrics of the Federal Government and will not resign, instead would rally the support of the body of benchers behind him and face the Federal Government which he is a part of, head on.

The Federal Government, led by a machiavelian Cabal within the Presidency have already named Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed as the CJN's possible replacement.

A source has confirmed to reporters that the planned removal of the CJN is in line with the APC's long term plan to make all sensitive
positions in Government especially the Judiciary Northern in order to control election tribunals which have become a ripple effect of elections in Nigeria.

Now regarded as an affront on Nigeria's democracy and an act of desperation, the planned arraignment of the CJN by the FG is a last trick in the book as an imminent defeat looms in the February 16 Presidential polls where the President's ruling party is not campaigning.

This tactic was once used to try and bully the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki over a period of 3 years where there were constant abuse on the institution of the National Assembly.

While Nigeria awaits a turn of events on Monday following the trumped up allegations of the FG, it would be interesting to see how Nigerians would react to this recent attack on the Institution of the Judiciary which is the last hope of the common man.

On the bolded, when will Nigerians stop excusing lawlessness. Is there are a weak allegation when the law has been broken?

Well. It depends on a lot of things.

How influential was he in you getting the contract??

Without him, would u have gotten the contract or there was no chance of u getting it


I read him saying he asked u to up your game. If u had not upped the game, how much would you have made compared to how much u eventually made after he tipped you off?

Contracts are normally sold in Abuja for 15 to 30%.

Is it a contract you would have bought if you had no means of getting it directly?

Gbam

He should consider he bought the job.

30% is top limit and 15 is min. It can only be 10 if the person is not expecting a kick back and if the entire net profit is like his chicken change. The 10 can even be in form of gifts.

TarOrfeek:
Take that 10% back!

Use 5% to change your phone screen.

If i were you, i would have edited my post by now since he obviously blank edited sensitive info.
