Nothing to say. I don't know who to blame.... What could have killed the man at just 58? He was based in Belgium most of his life, how did he end.up dying in Congo? And for the young men, the body can not be sent to Belgium for burial. People bring bodies back to Africa for burial, people don't take African bodies out of Africa for burial.

Sterope:
Not because he stepped into a church but because he worshipped as a Christian.

Sterope:
He is no one's brother in Islam because he is actually not a Muslim. This isn't one of those religious issues that is a matter of opinion.

He is outrightly no longer a Muslim for all intents and purposes.

Falseprofet2:
why is he writing like he was unfairly persecuted.
You took bribes, hid it under you cap and was prosecuted by a competent court.

If not for nothing, I commend Kwankwaso from dissociating with you..Ganduje will of course reach out, he is also a very competent bribe taker, so one thief to another.

poiZon:
even if we had won Zimbabwe, e for no count.
Na that Southie draws n lesotho draws put us for this mess...
Its even good we drew both Games with Zimbabwe, imagine if we had 4 points from that games, we for no dey play offs today

Sangoamadioha1:
Our draws against Zimbabwe is what made us qualify for the playoffs.
Other teams were docked 6 points for their victories against bottom placed teams while we were docked only 2 points because of the draw matches we played against Zimbabwe.
I still get your point sha because if we had won we would have topped the group and therefore no need to deduct our points.

You'd be surprised - most Nigerians want her to become PM, including me. We'd be so proud. Not just Nigeria ancestry but someone who actually grew up here and went to boarding school here! It'd be such a hoot!😅

Who are the "most Nigerians"?

Abeg speak for yourself, Nigerians are now her third biggest detractors.

If you've lived in UK you will know that typical white townie males are the 2nd, while no 1 will be the Asians

DoctorStanley:
Well 4 points is a wide margin considering that Trump won in a landslide!

Kuku say All Nigerian governors(minus seyi makinde) forum.
Even fubara, adeleke and others will be there in the spirit
Its strange that APC is now controlling 3 SE states on paper but technically ALL 5 SE governors are Pro Tinubu.
Even Otti and Soludo na pro APC

Are they suppose to be pro North and Atiku?

When Buhari was president no Northern PDP governor really came out against him, except Bala Mohammed to some small extent sha...but his biggest and most vociferous critic was Nyesom Wike , who challenged him like it was some sort of personal beef especially in Buhari's first term.

Anyway, we all know how PDP and especially Northern PDP governors paid him back for his one man crusade, especially considering Rivers almost single handedly funded the party for all those years

abc115:
It is sheer contradiction and foolishness to say that a party is organized, disciplined, and sensible, yet its leader is bad. How can a good tree produce bad fruit? If the leader is truly bad, then the party that produced or supports him cannot claim to be good or organized—haba, let’s be reasonable.

Abeg tell us when in his PDP days was he building houses for judges? Abeg tell us oh

By Timileyin Akinmoyeje

On Monday, Nyesom Wike, the minister overseeing the Federal Capital Territory, announced the revocation of Julius Berger’s ownership of a plot of land in Abuja and its re-allocation for the construction of a judges’ quarters.

Wike made this announcement during the flag-off ceremony for the housing project, attended by Kudirat Kekere Ekun, the Chief Justice of the Federation. Wike noted that approximately 70% of the funding for the project had already been released.

However, Wike’s unilateral decision has stirred significant controversy on social media. Some users express concerns about the implication of these ‘gifts’ on judicial independence in Nigeria.

On Friday, Chidi Odinkalu, a professor of law, wrote about this on X. He quoted a section of the Nigerian Judicial Code of Conduct: A Judge shall avoid developing excessively close relationships with frequent litigants—such as government ministers or their officials—if such relationships could reasonably create an appearance of partiality.

Kalu Aja, a finanical analyst and social critic, also reacted to Wike’s decision, albeit indirectly. He described it as “fruit of a forbidden tree”.

On the more formal front, the Falana and Falana law firm called for the reassignment of a case involving Wike from a Federal High Court in Abuja to another in Rivers, according to a Vanguard report.

The law firm, in a letter to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, cited concerns about potential bias in the Abuja Judicial Division due to the minister’s involvement in the housing projects for judges.

“Apart from the issue of forum convenience, our client have decided to request the transfer on the ground of likelihood of bias in the Abuja Judicial Division of the Federal High Court as the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr Nyesom Wike, who is an interested party in this case, has announced plans to build houses for judges within the Katampe District of the Federal Capital Territory,” the letter read in part.

Notably, the allocations for judges’ housing in the FCT were not included in the 2024 capital expenditure budget, nor were they found in the plans for the ministries of Justice and Housing and Urban Development.

N6 BILLION FOR JUDGES HOUSING QUARTERS IN RIVERS
Wike has a history of building houses and buying gifts for judges. The former governor has on many occasions described these gestures as part of a ‘judicial welfare’ commitment.

In 2020, while serving as the governor of Rivers State, he handed over 24 houses to judges in the state. The project cost the state approximately N6 billion.

Wike provided cash payments of N150 million each to about 23 judges who declined the housing offer, stating, “Judges have a choice to receive a properly built house from the state government or opt for cash payments to build or buy their houses themselves.

“With our policy, the State now bears the full responsibility to providing befitting accommodation for all judicial officers of Rivers State origin beyond their service years for life.

“The State Government spent N6 billion to build, furnish, and landscape this estate. The government also reserves interest to buy back any flat and reallocate to other judges to preserve exclusivity of the estate for judicial officers alone.

“The policy covers all former Chief Judges, Presidents of Customary Courts of Appeal including Justice Peter Agumagu. All retired Judges in service when the policy was made. Current Chief Judge of the state will have her accommodation built before retirement in May, 2021.”

In 2021, Wike reinforced his commitment to ‘judicial welfare’ by signing the Housing Scheme for Judicial Officers Bill into law. He argued that ensuring judges have proper housing would help combat corruption and foster independence within the judiciary.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING
Beyond houses, Wike has made headlines for ‘gifting’ cars to judges in the past.

In 2020, he gifted 41 special utility vehicles (SUVs) one time, TheCable reported. On another occassion, he gifted 29 customary court judges new Renault Koleous SUVs.

Before that time, Wike had given 35 Ford Explorers to some judges about a year after he assumed office as Rivers State Governor.

While these gestures are framed as efforts to support the judiciary, they raise questions about ethics.


The Judicial Code of Conduct outlines expectations for judges to maintain high standards of propriety. It clearly states that judges and their families should not accept gifts that could be perceived as influencing their judicial duties:

As members of the public expect a high standard of conduct from a Judge, he or she must, when in doubt about attending an event or receiving a gift, however small, ask himself or herself the question, How might this look in the eyes of the public?

While I disagree completely with the condemnable presidential amnesty granted to criminals and murderers, it is very wrong to try and paint the presidential gesture in ethnic clothing. 90% of the criminal drug dealers on the amnesty list are Ibos from the South east.

BENEAMATA:
Can you imagine the level of overstep, subversion and disregard for rule of law being peroetrated by an Attorney General of the federation as far back as 2007 ? Writing INEC as well as an albeit complicit independent arm of government to disobey an appeal court judgement . Later telling the supreme Court judges he only wrote to the INEC and HOR in advisory capacity ! Now these type of rots get worse.

I saw a post recently that put the oldest human (woman) at 120 years.

I think what we have above is the oldest man. The oldest persons alive are usually always women except in few exceptions.

Richtaiwo:
113 is not the oldest.

There are women of over 120 in Nigerian villages.

There are a lot of grey areas in this Prof Joash Ojo Amupitan's CV as put forward in the Statehouse Press Release signed by Mr Bayo Onanuga.
Let me speak to just a few of them for now:
1. He was born in 1967. There's no problem in that.
2. 'After completing primary and secondary education', he attended Kwara state Polytechnic... from 1982 to 1984.
Note: we are neither told the names of the primary and secondary schools he attended, nor the time lines of his attendance.
Moreover, by 1982 when he was said to have attended the Kwara state Polytechnic; he was just 15. How did he do it back then? Maybe if we have the details of his primary and secondary schools attendance, we would have better understanding. Additionally, what did he study at the Polytechnic?
3. He attended University of Jos 1984-1987 to study law.
How did he get a law degree in Nigeria within 3 years? Law is 5 years.
4. He got his PhD in 2007.
But he became the Head (of Department) of Public Law 2006-2008, and Dean of the Law Faculty 2008-2014. That means that he became the Head of Department before earning his PhD, and the Dean of faculty one year after his PhD. How did these happen in a federal university, not even in a mushroom private university?
I have a fair understanding of the academic. Such things don't happen. I believe the people who packaged this CV owe us more explanation of the missing links in the CV.
