She being an ex convict doesn't stop her from contesting.

There have been several instances where ex convicts became presidents. Take note, most of them where not pardoned.

http://www.pulse.ng/gist/prisoners-to-presidents-7-ex-convicts-who-became-heads-of-state-id5462202.html

Oga, according to Nigerian laws, an Ex-convict cannot hold an elective post until after 10 years OR after being granted a presidential pardon.

Mynd44:
Yeah right.

An ex-convict cannot run for political office. She has been convicted of murder by competent courts and should go serve her sentence in peace.

She was convicted for manslaughter not murder.

Even though the court of appeal upheld her conviction, she was still granted bail.

She is currently on bail. This is very funny and shows that with the right connection, you can dodge the long harm of the law.

If the supreme court upholds her conviction, na from court room to jail straight.

My profile name is currently on glo direct, Ap name:glosecure.when I change it to this new one I experienced slower speeds.does this means glosecure is much stronger than gloflat?

Glosecure is supposed to be based on pay as you go, why gloflat is supposed to be based on subscription.

Are you sure your credit is not getting depleted when you browse on glosecure.

What has the governor been using the security vote for?our leaders are only good in making press statements and are never pro active.i don't blame them anyway because it is the nigerian system. If it had happened in a more developed country, the commissioner of police would have been sacked the following day. Imagine the dare devil robbers operating for good three hours without any confrontation whatsoever. How is that supposed to be possible? It only goes to show we don't know what we're doing in this country. Heads need to role for this, it shouldn't be swept under the carpet and never again should there be a repeat of it

Just sad. I just dont know what we can get right. Now the criminals have gotten more money to get more arsenal, recruit more daring and brainy elements, and cause havoc in another remote place.

If you go to that Offa now, I can bet there will be heavy police patrols everywhere harassing people up and down as if the robbers will come back.

This attack on remote towns has been a reoccurring event. Yet, our police is still not being able to effectively curtail the incidents nor engage them properly during the incident.

Just pathetic.

If the president was to visit that Offa, you will get to see a lot of police helicopters hovering the sky, but to dispatch them to intercept robbers is never done in Naija. This country eh

Daviddson:
The difference between other countries and Nigeria is that when this sort of thing happen there, the leaders visit the people who were affected in the hospital, on the street or even their home. But in Nigeria, they visit the traditional rulers of the town where it happened.

Or the governor/local govt chairman of the affected places. Lol

This guy just dey use style campaign up and down.

life2017:
I am from South South. And I live in south south. I am aware of the chronic hatred for Buhari in south south and south east. That hatred was there in 2015. That was why Buhari got 7% in south east and 8% in South South.


But in 2019 there is a little difference despite the hatred. The difference is the impact of APC ministers and politicians from these zones.
These people will influence the election results with money, police and INEC. APC didnt have that in 2015. Except you are expecting 100% free and fair election, you cannot completely ignore the impact of politicians with money, INEC and security (police , army etc)

In the case of PDP picking a south east VP, there is a chance of Buhari loosing. even if Buhari wins, it will be a small margin. I gave buhari only 5% south east votes in this case. I also increase the voting turnout in south east by 20%. I think i have factored in that chronic hatred already.

However should PDP pick a South west VP, to be optimistic it is either south east wont vote or the results go 50 50 in the south east

if you read everything I wrote you will see in what I call Case A, Buhari lost South east, lost South South and lost North central.

In the case B, Buhari lost four zones-South east, South South, South west and North central

Your analysis is very sound. I have been looking at it that the 2019 election may even result into a stalemate.

This is a very sound analysis that should grace the front page.

Lalasticlala, OAM4J, Mynd44 for your information please. The other biased and half baked analysis was pushed. This is a very balanced one.

The effects of the campaign of hate is still very much with us today.

makavele:
Any wire !

Alright, thanks.

makavele:
I guess you didn't read my post well . . .
you can only connect your multimeter's red and black test probes to the battery's postive and negative terminals respectively
to check for voltage. You don't need to disconnect the batteries. Kindly make sure batteries are depleted to 50% depth of discharge
before test. Your inverter should show you depth of discharge


To test the inverter itself, when batteries are drained and inverter is charging them;
you need to check the charge current with a clamp meter to see if it matches the inverter's true specification as stated
on the manual

While you can use a multimeter capable of checking dc current to check for this; it is tough work because you need to break the circuit
and splice into wires; so a clamp meter is recommended.

Thank you for your responses. Which is to be clamped btw the red and black wires to check the charge current?

makavele:
200Ah you meant
You can confirm if the inverter is charging according to specification using a clamp-meter that can read
DC amps . . .
For the battery test, use the batteries till like 50% depth of discharge and measure the voltage of each battery
None should be less than 12.0V

I have a multimeter, will I just connect it to the negative and positive terminals of the batteries while setting it to DC voltage to check the batteries? And do I have to disconnect the batteries before the test?


How do I test the inverter itself?

darocha1:
POC The batteries are Ah not mAh. You find mah battery capacity in your power bank.
Secondly, you need to run a test on your batteries using a multimeter or seek the aid of a person with technical know out on Inverter.
I doubt it is your inverter that is faulty, considering you mentioned the back up time has drastically reduced.
There are few questions i will ask you privately to help you do an off-site troubleshooting.

I will confirm that. Who do you suppose would win should Wilder decide to fight Whyte?

It's actually a tight one, but given Whyte's sloppy defence and stamina and Wilder's dangerous right hand.

I will tip it in favour of Wilder. As he'll definitely get some of his bombs through. And this will really shake Dillian.

BluntBoy:
Says who?

It seems Whyte is the mandatory challenger for the WBC belt. Sooner or later, the WBC will ask him to defend the belt against the mandatory challenger.

Raintaker:
I don't even understand the Yoruba xtains/Yoruba Muslims I see on nairaland these days.
There is nothing like that, they are trying to create a caste/division system which never existed.
Only God knows what kind of spirit these people possess.

I just tire for them. And these same set of people are always all out to call other people Bigots.

Whereas, theirs is legendary from time immemorial.

Bunch of hypocrites.

SouthEastFacts:
I am not here to exchange words with you. I said 35-40% of Katsina population are Christians. Did I mention their political inclination? NO.

Keep deceiving yourself. The strongest base of Buhari is Yoruba moslems. They are solidly on lock down for Buhari. It is their Christians that don't care about religion during voting.

Did I say anything about Katsina state? The parts I referenced were made bold for you to relate with.

We have consistently told you people to drop this foolery of Xtian/Muslim yorubas but you want to keep wallowing in ignorance. No wahala.

Empiree:
the best argument against the use of coffin or casket is that it is a waste of money or resources. That the prophet did not use it is not tangible evidence in my opinion. Again, it is not ideal for muslims to use casket. It is not Muslim tradition. It is a waste of money and resources. This is the position of Sheikh Adam Abdullah Al-ilory(ra).

Besides, what's the purpose of casket?. To prevent maggots?. That's nonesense

This seems more reasonable

SouthEastFacts:
Oga travel and you will learn. Over 90% of Northern Christians answer Arabic names.

Late last year, our Organisation was commissioned to run an election related survey in Katsina and to our shock 40% of the populations are Christians. We were supposed to spend only 21 days but we ended up spending 3 months. We changed every parameters, pulled up the worst case scenarios, narrowed the sample sizes, broaden the sizes and our hit consistently returned between 35-40 percents. We spent over additional 2 months to verify this.

So if Katsina a core sharia state has Christians as large as this what will you say about Kaduna.

What am I trying to say, those Soldiers might be Christians.

Finally, the best chances of defeating Buhari is to tactfully pull both tribal and religious cards. Shia muslims are on standby to deliver about 3 million votes against him but SW moslems are on lock down for him.

NE is a swing region. Kano and Kaduna will shock BMCs and PDP will pull atleast 25% from NW.

Christian Yorubas are undecided and are likely to vote for PDP if they field Yoruba Christians. A SE VP will not appeal to them, but the North is indifferent in who becomes VP.

SW VP will cost PDP their strongest ally SE and their bulk breaking votes in SW, NW and "consolidation votes" from the other regions.

A female VP will not sell.

We left Lagos 2 weeks ago and our next stop will be NC, then FCT.

Continue deceiving yourself. Buhari has die hard fans among both Christians and Muslims.

Yorubas are not that religiously inclined in political consideration.

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no dispute among the scholars that it is makrooh to bury the deceased in a coffin if there is no need for that.

Ibn Qudaamah said:
It is not recommended to bury the deceased in a coffin, because there is no report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or his companions did that, and it also involves imitating the people of this world.



It is makrooh to bury the deceased in a coffin according to scholarly consensus, because it is bid’ah (an innovation), unless the ground is wet or soft, in which case it is not makrooh because that serves a purpose.

The deceased’s instructions should not be carried out except in this case. Similarly if the deceased has been burned by fire and cannot be carried except in a coffin.

And Allaah knows best.

https://islamqa.info/en/34511

As per the bold parts above, Why are you now using phones, CCTV, computers, flying planes, etc.

Is that not imitating people of the world? Is there evidence that the Prophet and his companions used same?

An original deep cycle battery will not just die when discharged to 100%;
rather it will shorten the lifespan by more than half if you do this continuously. If the battery was to last 1 yr before;
it will only last 3-5 months.
A car battery that is deep discharged more than 10 times, is already dead and cannot come back to life.
You might not notice when its powering small loads; but put in a car and try to start it; or connect a larger load;
I'd bet the voltage drops off a cliff.

Please how can I confirm my inverter batteries are due for replacement. They don't provide much backup time like before. My Bro is saying he is suspecting the inverter is not charging it properly, while I'm suspecting the batteries are almost gone. Btw, the batteries are 200mah and have done 2 years.

Akainzo:
Quite rightly, however this is not the case with this particular bill.

There is a controversy on the bill as regards the power granted INEC by the constitution to organise and supervise elections.

Some people are averring that the power includes setting the sequence of elections, which this Act seeks to take away. Therefore, it is the Supreme Court that can make a final declaration thereto, and which can go in either ways.

Anyways, this is if the Executive sues the NASS On account of enacting a law which contradicts the constitutional sha.

Kindly note that the powers granted by the constitution cannot be taking away by an Act of parliament, which is an inferior law.

Mr. Presido, welcome to the Centre of Excellence.

Akainzo:
The constitution provides for the National Assembly to override the veto of the President through a vote by two-thirds majority of both houses. Once this happens, the bill becomes law and the President cannot challenge that in court.


However, the NASS is just going down a route that is useless! By the proposed Bill, INEC is till the one to determine the dates of the elections based on actual readiness of logistics and personnel thus all INEC has to do is say it is not ready for the the NA elections, post pone it by one week and voila, NASS elections is after the Presidency!

The provisions in the electoral law will still give the final decision on dates to INEC.

The supreme court can still render an Act useless by its pronouncements. Kindly be educated.

Passing a law is not all in all. The law is subject to interpretation by the Judiciary. And if the Judiciary declares it not consistent with the constitution, the law becomes null and void on its inconsistency with the constitution.

seunmsg:
Trust me, some Russian contractors who are desperate to get the contract for completing the project are behind all these Akpoti and house of reps emotional and hypocritical stand. Their intentions are not nationalistic in any way. Anybody who is genuinely concerned about Ajaokuta steel company would support the complete and immediate privatisation of the company. We've not produced a single steel from that plant in about 30 years and they still want to keep pumping money into the place.

Someone is definitely sponsoring Natasha. The truth will reveal itself one day.

There is always vested interest in this our country.

The Reps are living in a fools paradise.

The ministry managing the plants are if the opinion it is better to involve the private sector in the completion and running of the plant, yet they are foaming in the mouth and saying they will allocate funds for it's completion.

Where are all the funds allocated before now? No be chop dem chop am?

They are just going in circles. If they allocate funds now and the current actors quit the scene, new guys will come and chop the money.

Another new set will come and be shouting that concession is the best way out of the repeated chopping of Ajaokuta completion money.

Are they not tired??

Concession is not outright sale of the plant. It can be taken back if the concessionaire does not perform well.

They should allow the ministry to concession the plant to a sound investor with the finances and technical ability to run the plant.

Govt is trying to get it's hands off managing big corporations, and the Reps still wants to dig further in.

Mynd44:
This thread says the opposite.

Who do we believe?

https://www.nairaland.com/4412839/efcc-cant-declare-anyone-wanted

It is obvious that the news report in the other thread you referenced (quoted below) was not that detailed.

The report never stated that EFCC obtained a valid court arrest warrant before declaring the Aiteo Boss wanted.

The report also did not state the number of months that EFCC has written to the man without the man honouring their invitation.

The report in essence is one-sided and not as detailed as the current one but the concluding part of the 2nd report shows EFCC lost the case, and which shows the headline of the current rwport was made sensational.

But I think the EFCC needs to urgently appeal this ruling because it seems contradictory.

If a court has issued an arrest warrant on a person, is that not consequential to declaring the person wanted?

If EFCC goes to court to obtain an arrest warrant? Is this new judgement now saying, even after obtaining a court issued arrest warrant, they should still obtain another court order to declare the person wanted?

Is the court now saying the power to declare the person wanted is not implied by the court issued arrest warrant?

The court seems confused in my own opinion. An higher court needs to properly interpret the powers inherent in a court issued arrest warrant.

A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lacks the powers to declare anyone wanted without first obtaining a court order.

Justice Othman Musa said in a judgment on Thursday that the EFCC could declare wanted anyone who failed to honour its invitation but the power could only be exercised after it has obtained a court order to that effect.

Justice Musa’s judgment was on a fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by the Chief Executive Officer of AITEO Group, Benedict Peters.


In the suit marked: FCT/HC/CV/23/2017, Peter accused EFCC of declaring him wanted on its web site without due process.

The suit had EFCC and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as respondents.

He said the decision of the EFCC to declare him wanted without a pending charge or a valid court order to that effect was a violation of his fundamental rights.

The EFCC said Peters was being investigated over his alleged involvement in the 2015 election bribery.

This Peace Corps sef. Why dem stubborn like this.

TMemos:
Was the marital status stated in any of the letters terminating their appointments?

No it was not stated on the first letters leaked on twitter. The latter letter in circulation with married as justification seems to be fake.

The 1st paragraph of the initial letter was adjusted. The stuff was even screen grabbed from a computer screen and was not even released by a verified handle like the initial letter.

Yet more sides to the story.

Mynd44, lalasticlala, OAM4J let's hear more views pls.

Sack of Married Female Staff: Lawyer establishes facts against Globacom on sack of over 90 female staff ...Slams N50b suit on Globacom


A renowned legal practitioner and public interest litigation expert, Tunji Salawu, Esq has given several grounds to why his clients have resolved to drag the Globacom, operators of Glo telecommunications to court.

He also instituted a N50 billion legal action against the suit at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) via suit number (NICN/ABJ/75/2018).

In the statement of facts establishing the cause of action obtained by newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, 20th March, 2018, the sacked female workers pointed out that, they were employed by the Defendants between 2003 and 2008, and have individually put in between average of 7 to 15 years in the employment of the Defendants.

They wondered why dedicated staff who have impacted positively on the fortunes of the company could be sacked with a wave of the hand on the flimsy reason bothering on their marital status.

It could be recalled that, Public Interest Litigation Initiative (PILI) only last week informed of its decision to take up the matter in order to restore and enforce the fundamental human rights of the affected female staff of the telecommunications company.

In that statement, the Executive Director of PILI, Prof. Adesoji Adesugba said: “It is disheartening to hear that these particular set of female staff who have worked very hard to take the company to the height it has attained today could be treated in a needlessly reckless manner. We at PILI find this unacceptable and have taken a legal action to challenge this glitch.

“It is going to be a legal fight to the finish until and unless very urgent and responsible steps are taken by Globacom to restate them back to their various positions with full benefits in addition to paying damages to them for distorting their career path or progress.


The legal statement said the Claimants plead and rely on their various letters of employment as employees in the management cadres at Gloworld department, the retail arm of Globacom Limited with branches and outlets all over Nigeria.

Sections of the statements read: “The Claimants are all married women in the Gloworld Department, (a customer facing unit) of the Globacom Limited.

“The Claimants were all employed as single females but later had changes of Marital Status in the course of their employment.

“Throughout the length of their services with the Defendants, the Claimants performed the job specification to their best of abilities and were never found wanting by the Defendants and

“In fact, the Claimant had variously been promoted and earned commendations of the Defendants”.

Other facts supplied include:

“The Claimants have continued to work diligently until, 8th March, 2018, a day set aside globally as “Women’s Day” when they got a shocking gifts from Defendants in premeditated sack letters, terminating their employments. The Claimants plead and shall rely on the respective letters of termination of employments at the trial.

“The Claimants state that the purported letters of termination of appointment violated the terms and conditions of service of the employees of the defendants. The Claimants plead and shall rely on the conditions of service of the Defendants at the trial. Notice is hereby given to the defendants to produce the conditions of service and staff handbook manual at the trial.

“The Claimants state that the purported termination of their employments was premeditated discriminatory and in bad faith as can be deduced from the cumulative events leadings to the termination”.

According to document, sometime in July, 2017, the Defendants embarked on what was termed staff profiling of all the Gloworld staff, wherein they requested for the following particulars of the staff, among others; full length and portrait picture, passport photograph, date of birth, marital status and length of service at the Globacom Limited despite that all the above information was available to the Human Resources Department of the Defendants, the Claimants nevertheless complied with the request and forwarded their details.

Again, in January, 2018, the Executive Director, (Legal) of the 1st defendant, Mrs Gladis Talabi, Jumoke Aduwo, Human Resources Manager and the regional managers of Gloworld went round all the branches nationwide to “see” all Gloworld staff and conduct “physical verification”, wherein the following personal questions were asked: are you married? How many children do you have? How long have you been in the system? Etc. The staff were further asked to file out for physical examination and have their photographs taker by lined photographers, it added.

The details of other grounds are:

“The Claimants state that the employment processes of the Defendants were conducted in violation of the rights of the applicants to human dignity as often, shortlisted candidates after successful interviews with the Globacom Human Resources personnel’s were further made to face personal interview by the Chairman of the Globacom Dr. Mike Adenuga, where they were advised to look nice, make up well, wear push up bras, chest out, wear miniskirts, a well manicured nails and generally look sexy for the interview with the Chairman.

“After all the rigors of the interview, the successful applicants were given letters of employment through various agencies of the Defendant, such as Contact Centre Services Limited, Vixen Enterprises, Umbrella Limited, Blue Moon Ventures, Dragnet Limited, etc. All affliates of the 1st Defendant.

“Sometime in 2008, the 2nd defendant, Global Manpower Limited (GML) was introduced to the Claimants who were made to sign over their appointments to the agency under duress and without opportunity to read and understand the contract.

“The Claimants state that they were not even avail with a copy of the new contract signed with the 2nd Defendant.

“Again sometime in 2012, the Claimants were made to sign a bond that they would remain in remain in the employment of Globacom Limited for a certain number of Years and any dissengament of staff within the period either voluntarily or by default of the defendant would attract a penalty of 10 Million Naira. The claimant plead and shall rely on the copy of the bond at the trial. The Defendants are hereby given notice to produce the original bond at the trial.

“Furthermore, in 2016, the Claimants, are Gloworld Managers and Stock Controllers were made to bring two guarantors such as bank Managers, Clergymen, High networth individual and level 14 and above Civil Servants. The guarantors were made to provide a blank signed but undated cheques and ittle documents of landed properties in choice locations as well as letters of introduction from banks. The Claimants pleads and shall rely on copies of the said guarantors bond at the trial.

“Those who were unable to meet up with deadlines for the submission of the guarantors had their salaries withheld till they were able to meet up.

“The Claimants state that those documents and bonds including the signed but undated cheques are still in possession of the defendants till date.


“The Claimants state that due to the bond entered with the Defendants they have had to stay back from several job opportunities.

“The Claimants state that sequel to the termination of their appointments, the defendants paid one month salary and unpaid leave allowance into the accounts of the Claimants, leaving out pending Domestic Travel Allowances (DTAS), pending relocation allowances and outstanding float retirements purportedly in lieu of the notice of termination.

“The Claimants also state that the payment of one month salary in lieu of notice is contrary to the 60 days notice required under the condition of service.

“The Claimants state further that the defendants failed to remit their pension contribution as well as tax deductions to the relevant tax agencies and pension managers.

“The Claimants reasonably believe that the mass retrenchment was target against them as married women, because about 97% of the staff whose employment were terminated and laid off are married women.

“The Claimants positions were immediately filled by single female and male staff.


“The Claimants while contending that the purported termination of their employments by the defendants was unlawful, also aver that their rights as married women have been seriously trampled upon by the Defendants.
