Same thing in Osun state- Tinubu is forcing illegality everywhere. For how long will this civilian dictatorship last
fergie001: As expected, APC & Ors appealed both judgements. That of the APP was filed 2/12/22 and that of the PDP in Jan 2023.
We deal with that of the APP here:
Now, the appellants in the image below, filed their motion on notice and even sought reliefs also cited below:
The Records of Appeal should ordinarily get to the Appeal Court in a maximum 60 days but OSSIEC argued that it was past 23 months and no record of appeal hence the appeal should be dismissed.
On 13/1/25, the lawyer for the appellants (APM & APC) admitted that he had not heard from his client since 2/12/2022. Hence, the appeal Court dismissed the Appeal, upholding the decision of the Federal High Court with all its consequential orders. (image 4)
The APC entered 9 Grounds of appeal; The Appeal Court formulated four questions for determination as stated in Image 3.
Summarily, on Issue 1: The Court held that the amended Originating Summons shouldn't have been allowed because it was incompetent. The Appeal Court also held that it was premature, as there was no reasonable cause of action.
The suit was filed July 2022, whilst then Governor Oyetola signed the bill on 1/8/22 and notices were published on 15/8/22, hence the Court had no jurisdiction whatsoever to have entertained a suit without a cause of action. It is the cause of action that births a RIGHT OF ACTION.
On Issues 3 & 4: Don't forget that Issue 4 is on the validity of the reinstatement of those officials.
The Court held that these issues were academic and they will not venture to go into it. (Image 4)
Now Issues 1 & 2 are in favour of the appellants, no cause of action, the trial Court was wrong to have granted leave for amendment of the OS.
Now Issues 3 & 4... How far? No judgement z no consequential order.. nothing
Let's not also forget, about the valid order in the APP issue already upheld by the Appeal Court and still EXISTING.
SadiqBabaSani: FG is supporting all sorts of illegality, is this what they will do if Tinubu is voted out by Nigerians in 2027?
If you claim you were illegally removed why not wait for the court to declare that you should be returned since you already rushed to court?
This action taken right now where Obasa forced himself on The assembly is Sub Judice
That's exactly what the Iragbiji man did in Osun, ignoring court process to force his illegal APC councillors and chairmen back to office.
El Rufai was right about the difference between agberos and omoluabis in government.
fergie001: Let me do the Osun thread here because of my good friend Johnny...
The PDP filed a suit before the Federal High Court, Osogbo on 27/7/22, challenging the planned abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of LG Elections. The PDP argued that it is not the duty of the Assembly to abridge the time as it is already encapsulated in the Electoral Act 2022, and doing so makes it inconsistent with Sections 29, 30 & 32 of the EA 2022 and also a previous Supreme Court Judgement on this.
However, the APC went on with the bill for abridgement and then Gov, Oyetola signed on 1/8/22. Thereafter, on 15/8/22, notices were published for LG election to be held on 15/10/22. The PDP sought the leave of Court to amend their Originating Summons which the APC argued they didn't have the jurisdiction, however the learned Judge upheld the arguments and allowed for amendment which took place in September 2022.
Parties to the suit filed by PDP were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC & Ors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the notices of 15/8/2022, another Political Party, APP filed a suit, also challenging the legality and otherwise of the abridged time and the LG Election.
Parties to the suit were: OSSIEC, INEC, APC, APM, APGA & Ors. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delivering Judgement on 25/11/22 on the PDP suit, the Federal High Court invalidated the election and sacked all elected LG Chairmen and Councillors with CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.
On 30/11/22, in the APP suit, the Federal High Court also invalidated the election with the same CONSEQUENTIAL ORDERS.
1. That the notice of election on 15/8/22 was invalid, illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
2. That all elected LG Chairmen/Councillors vacate their Offices immediately.
3. That the bill for the abridgement of time for nomination/conduct of the election is thereby struck out. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 separate Federal High Court Judgements sacked those LG Chairmen/Councillors in 2022.
orlahtohbadt: You are now shifting goal posts. What was your earlier submission? As long as FIFA recognises it as a continental trophy, it is a major trophy. If a single player doesn't recognise it as same then that is his problem. If you watched the footage you would have seen that his co-pundits attacked him for that comment. So is it Carragher that determines major international trophies now?
Now talking about if we have many Asians or South-Americans playing for European countries yes we do and if they are not much as Africans it is certainly not because their continental trophy is less recognised but because they were born there as we know Africans migrate a lot and even the African population is more. Does this negate the fact that some of these Africans born out there still come to represent their native countries? No, it is because the population is much.
Is that how increased taxes, savings from subsidy removal and more borrowing have improved our welfare through free daily bread at Bourdillon for all Nigerians?
What is it with those we allow into public office and the senseless things that they say on the job
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance. That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
orlahtohbadt: So those Asians playing in Europe makes their continental trophy useless? Or the South Americans playing in Europe same? The bone of contention is not if the AFCON tournament is well organised but if it is a majorly recognised international trophy, which it is.
Majorly recognised by who Do you have Asians and South Americans playing for European countries like as many Africans?
Which of our African leagues compare to Asian and South American leagues?
Ayodekfarms: I witnessed all of them play, I don't need google to tell me who was better in their playing days or who was more decorated. Okocha played better than him while Mikel was more decorated than him.
Please in what way was Caragher better than the duo above?
Dada ko le ja, sugbon o ni aburo ti o gboju le.
This AFCON minor tournament brouhaha is about racial dynamics. Are Europeans doing japa to Africa as we are doing to their continent, for the purpose of slaving away to increase the development gap between the two
anonimi: The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience
The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.
Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.
Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.
Heffalump: J. J Okocha was very brutal on Carragha.
That was a technical knockout, which came with black eye.
The black eye on the white master does not change the relative position of the races, does it
TheBedWench: The one-drop rule is a social and legal principle of racial classification that was historically prominent in the United States in the 20th century. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of black blood)[1][2] is considered black (Negro or colored in historical terms).
This concept became codified into the law of some states in the early 20th century. It was associated with the principle of "invisible blackness" that developed after the long history of racial interaction in the South, which had included the hardening of slavery as a racial caste and later segregation. It is an example of hypodescent, the automatic assignment of children of a mixed union between different socioeconomic or ethnic groups to the group with the lower status, regardless of proportion of ancestry in different groups.[3]
The one-drop rule is defunct in law in the United States and was never codified into federal law.
FreshChronicle: Carragher abi caravan should go and sleep under oshodi bridge. He runs his mouth like he has all the titles. This is why I don't rate some of these pundits......just run their mouth and spit smelly saliva everywhere
It is we Africans that are running our mouths with empty barrel swagger. If AFCON is such a big tournament as the Euros, then why are the best (paid) African players slaving away in European leagues rather than in African leagues?
When you are small, you are really small. You should work to be relevant, strong and big like the Asians are doing.
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Also, some armed miscreants, who accompanied Obasa to the complex were seen making threatening remarks, and vowing to take possession of all the offices in the complex.
The access roads to the complex have been taken over by people suspected to be Obasa's thugs who arrived the scene in unmarked Kombi buses...
Tell me they are all lies. So why would even the police a d DSS break into the Speakers' office if there was even a peaceful and of resignation from Meranda to Obasa?

How else will he scam the 200 million inhabitants of our country with his tales of extreme poverty while he is the most corrupt president, after T-Pain?
He must think we are ignorant of the billions pension benefits he gets as former president and military dictator.
Islie: Former President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, disclosed that he now lived on money he earned from renting out one of his two houses in Kaduna State, insisting he did not corruptly enrich himself as president.
Buhari said Nigeria was a difficult country to govern because of its complexities, and tasked the leaders on transparency and accountability.
He made the revelations while addressing the All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus in Katsina State, at Government House, Katsina, ahead of the state’s local council election, scheduled for February 15.
The former president said most Nigerians were unaware of the administrative challenges involved in governing the country, but simply blamed their leaders during and after their tenures.
Buhari said, in Hausa, “Nigeria is a difficult country to govern, but most Nigerians are unaware. Until you find yourself in the administrative position of the country, if not, you will not understand the complexities.
“I look much better and healthier now than when I was the president of the country. Anybody that sees me now acknowledges that I look better than before.”
He explained that did not corruptly enrich himself with the country’s wealth during his eight years as president.
Buhari, who was visibly excited, added that nobody could blackmail him for illicit enrichment while in office. He disclosed that he had only three houses in his native Daura, Katsina State, and Kaduna State.
He said, “After my eight years as a civil president, I have only three houses; one in Daura and two in Kaduna. I have given one out for renting where I get money for feeding.”
Bmaster: God bless the former president,and his predecessor.If you think they didn't perform to the best of their abilities,then Ask the current president what's up.
Did the current president not transform the former president into APC messiah of change after calling him expired in 2011, only to reveal himself as the master of shege? The shege that T-Pain is taking to extra level of extreme poverty, unemployment, inflation, even insecurity and corruption.
Is that not what earned him the ebilokan turn in 2023
LieDetector: President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to ensure continuity of his regime by voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.
“The forthcoming general elections will provide us with the opportunity to convince the electorate of the need for continuity to enable our party to consolidate on our achievements in the last 7 years,” Mr Buhari said.
The president, according to a statement by his spokesperson Femi Adesina on Friday, disclosed this while receiving a delegation from Nasarawa State. “The Government and people of Nasarawa State, as usual, have a great role to play in returning our party to governance in the 2023 elections, in order to create a path for greater socio-economic growth and development.
“This is not only important for Nigeria alone but also for the West African Sub-Region,” the president was further quoted as saying.

iwaeda: Confusion has engulfed the Lagos State House of Assembly as Mudashiru Obasa, the ousted Speaker, stormed the complex on Thursday, allegedly intending to resume duty.
According to sources, Obasa arrived at the Assembly around 11:30 AM, accompanied by heavily armed police officers and civil defence personnel. The development has thrown the Assembly into disarray, especially as the incumbent Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, was reportedly absent from the scene.
Although the House is currently on an indefinite recess, reports indicate that the doors to the Speaker’s office have been forcibly opened.
Vanguard had reported how the Inspector General of Police, IGP, had ordered the withdrawal of all security details assigned to Speaker Mojisola Meranda.
The development, which comes amid a leadership tussle within the Assembly, has left the Speaker vulnerable to potential attacks.
An aide to the Speaker, speaking in confidence to Vanguard, confirmed that security personnel, including police officers and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), were withdrawn on Thursday morning without any replacement.
“In the early hours of Thursday, we woke up to the startling news that all security details assigned to Madam Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, had been withdrawn. This includes the police and DSS officers, leaving her exposed to threats amid the ongoing speakership crisis,” the aide disclosed.

Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

“There are currently about 10.2 million children at the primary level who are out-of-school in Nigeria, 16 per cent of them are from Kano, Jigawa and Katsina states. Close to one million children are out-of-school in Kano State (989,234), with a total of 337,861 children in Jigawa while Katsina State has 536,112 out-of-school children.
“While the spectre of out-of-school children is a major concern, the challenge is that even those children who have the opportunity to be enroled in school do not have quality education. Only one out of four children in Nigeria, aged 7-14 years can read and understand a simple sentence or solve basic arithmetic, according to the MICS report.

Na you gangan e the confirmest daftie. What do you gain from always looking for quick excuses for overpaid public servants without considering what they promised? That is how we allowed Fashola, Buhari and APC dribble us with fake promises about electricity since 2015.
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis. Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.
He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”
[b]Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.
TheGoodJoe: “For example, in our cement, every N1 we turn around, 52 kobo go to the government in various taxes—30 per cent corporate tax, 7.5 per value-added tax, two per cent for education, and one per cent,for health. When money is being made in the company, if you want to take the money, all the shareholders will have to pay the government 10 per cent as withholding tax again. This is for the Federal Government. When you add the state and the local government, everything now is something else,” he stressed. This is crazy and all the tax extorted goes down the drain.
One reason I support Peter Obi is his plan to make the tax work for the growth of Nigerians.

Am confused to say the least, please someone should tell me because the anambra i visited has degenerated so much,
chuksikem: Was in awka some days back ,its really shameful, my heart bleeds for my state, from amansea to awka is still the same, pothole riddled roads, non-functioning street lights, refuse littering the entire state capital from arroma junction down to Ziks avenue, ,arthur eze,unizik junction,court road,udoka housing estate etc are still the same, no changes at all, the state capital still looks like a glorified village,
Civil servants and pensioners are been owed 3 MONTHS salary, so many abandoned projects yet the woman sounding governor is always in abuja 24/7.
Please peter obi's handlers on nl should please enlighten us,
A state that has the highest number of successful human beings in the entire black nation, it hurts,
Wish soludo had won ,
Kobojunkie: .... @Poster, he is doing exactly what the people elected him to come do again. I mean for a man with meagre list of accomplishments during his first time, why else would he had been re-elected if not to continue the same?? undecided undecided undecided
PROUDIGBO: ^^^I'm trying to, but i can't fault your reasoning.
