Felimax:
Even some of the Catholic priest among are practicing voodoo. You are so much on point and you hit the nail on the head.

A Catholic priest from that side resigned and went to join dibias


The major religion in the SE is not Christianity but paganism.

Thewrath:
Nonsense,you want to form emergency lover of SS after betraying their son…when you look at the map very closely,you will discover that SE is in the heart of SS,it will take gods a very long time to be able to separate or differentiate the two regions,know this and know peace!

SS has no business with you heathen cannibals .

Thewrath:
Wetin concern you concern SS,did they tell you they want sharia?

Are you from SS?

Besides this post isn't about SS but the region that is dominantly Christian and that being SS.

Is this your headache ?

Why is SS being dominantly Christian your problem ?

Thewrath:
Except Islam !!

Did SS ask you to remind them of what has kept them safe all these years?

You also forgot to mention the similarities between SSS/SE religious tolerance,both don’t have sizeable Muslim population….

SE is an intolerant shithole .

The Muslims amongst you are heavily discriminated against.

Even Protestants face heavy discrimination in the hands of Catholics.

There's no iota of Christian tolerance in the SE.

EmperorCaesar:
Stay on topic of zoom off into the sea. U no be SS person, why speak on their behalf

He's right about his claim

Every other region has a great mix of the three traditional religion. SS is the only region where 98% of them are Christians

Thank you jare.

The swines should not be allowed to claim champions of Christianity in Nigeria ever again as they are now apostates of the church who have returned to pagan practices or fooling themselves as being Jews.

Thewrath:
Stay away from SS,you betrayed their son Goodluck Jonathan

See this suegbe .

Who appointed you as custodians of SS?

iwaeda:
Another elephant project.

Jealousy kill you.

This is not Alambla with Obi 419 as governor.

This is very important so as to dispel some people who like to claim champions of Christianity for political gain while openly practicing heathen voodoo paganism and condemning Christianity in their region

SS is the only homogenous Christian region in Nigeria

This is very political because we know the hypocrites who were claiming champions of Christianity by opposing the so-called Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Even going by their new found Judaism religion, catholiscm is paganism. So their last champion who is a Catholic is a pagan by Jewish religious edicts.

So remember this when they start frothing in the mouth and lying that they are Christians

Gotocourt:
Not possible, tinubu dare not take that risk

So Fubara should continue running Rivers like his personal fiefdom?

This isn't even an executive issue. The National Assembly that is saddled to protect and uphold the constitution will step in .

Fubara should not be allowed to run Rivers state as his personal empire.

LagosOrigin:
Peter Obi is my hero and leader not Kenneth and come 2027, I'm going to vote for Peter Obi over Tinubu

Tinubu is a failure from hell who doesn't deserve a second term.

Which party Obi go use?

And which position will he be vying for ?

Dey dream.

All these turanchi sand he will still decamp back to APC

I see that the same idiots who are supporting heathen pagan practices in their region and have been lambasting Christianity as a white man's religion, are here in full force claiming champions of the church.

Tueh!

kingbee90:
All these Agbadorians sef.
Why not leave Oshogbo, come down to Rivers State and impeach Gov. Fubara by yourself?

I used to ask why you id1ots are interested in Rivers State matters until I figured it out.

Rivers State being a powerful state financially and politically as an opposition is a BIG threat to Amuda aka Bulaba's 2027 re-election and Mark my words, Rivers State as usual, will pull out the weight, form an alliance with other APC aggrieved members to sink APC in 2027.
Rivers State has always been a political workhorse since 1999 & has sponsored & influenced all presidential elections till date.

Rivers influenced 2015 election , 2023 elections and will still influence 2027 elections .

You Agbadorians should go and eat shit and die.

Says the finger gnawing cannibal from the land of cannibals.

Are you from Rivers ?

Akpakomiza2:
So far, fubara is losing at the court and also tarnishing his image before the judiciary

I am not from Rivers and I am more bi-partisan when it comes to political issues because all the politicians and political parties are rogues (no exceptions including the Agulu fraudster).

But one thing is clear is that Fubara is a tyrannical despot.


It's either that or he is highly uninformed on how our democracy should operate.

The fact that this faction of Rivers state assembly is the first since 1999 to stand up against the excesses of these thieving governors who see themselves as Tin gods should naturally get real democrats on their side.

Fubara is your typical megalomaniac Nigerian Governor who sees himself as an Emperor.

How can 27 members be against you . Haba! Something is truly wrong somewhere .

Democracy is all about dialogue and negotiation and Fubara has shown he isn't cut out for such and that he mistakes his position as an elected executive to be equal to that of a supreme emperor.

He is mad as the idiotic Anarcho-Marxist obidient mob that foolishly supporting him.

Thanks for this explaination
What i'm refering to is the court Judgement barring any activities of the 27 other

Well, the Supreme Court Ruling of yesterday has affirmed that the 27 law makers remain valid members of the Rivers state House of Assembly.

If there be any case ongoing, this ruling should put an end to such frivolity.

The Nigerian Constitution allows the National Assembly (which includes the Senate and the House of Representatives) to take over the legislative functions of a state under certain conditions.

Legal Basis:
Section 11(4) & (5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended)

Section 11(4): If a state House of Assembly is unable to perform its functions due to a crisis, the National Assembly may make laws for that state.

Section 11(5): Such laws remain in effect until the House of Assembly can resume its functions.

Conditions for Takeover:
The state legislature must be unable to function due to a crisis (such as political instability, security threats, or legislative deadlock).

The National Assembly must determine that it is necessary to intervene.
The National Assembly will then assume the legislative duties of the affected state.

This provision is meant to ensure governance continuity and prevent constitutional crises in cases where a state legislature is paralyzed.

fergie001:
Our Senate has never impeached a president, it's a Governor especially when litigation is ongoing?

That's ridiculous. Ask yourself why Amaewhule andnco haven't commenced impeachment proceedings.

I have said this before that the person who advised these guys to defect should be ostracised from that group. Fubara & CO have no business on who wins or loses but to drag this case until the next cycle of election.

There is another case before the FHC in Port Harcourt which will most likely rule against the "27", the case now re-commences again.

Where is the evidence that they defected ?

Fubara used this lie to get their suit dismissed but the judge dismissed it for lack of evidence.

If Fubara refuses to allow the 27 man faction to resume their seats, there are 2 options available:

1. The 27 man faction will use the supreme court ruling to set up a separate Assembly and begin impeachment proceedings on Fubara.

2. The faction approaches the Senate to take over proceedings of the House and from there carry out investigation into Fubara's govt and seek his impeachment.

Xammie001:
You have a valid point but i don't think the senate have the power to Impeach him.
But what's on ground is that we have contradictory judgement on ground sha but common sense is telling us 27 lawmaker are the majority as against the four lawmaker on fubura side sha

There's no conflicting judgement.

Theres only conflicting interpretation coming from Fubara's camp

The Supreme court ruling was consistent with that of the High Court that ruled on behalf of the Plaintiff's .

In the course of that trial, Fubara's defense hinged on urging the court to dismiss the suit by claiming the plaintiffs were no longer members of the House of Assembly to which the Judge disagreed and asked Fubara to present evidence that the Legislators had lost their seats automatically owing to defecting to another party. Fubara could not provide proof in court and the judge then went on to entertain the suit by the lawmakers as being more than interested parties. The judge then ruled in favour of the 27 man faction.

The final ruling gave birth to 2 outcomes :.

1. Fubara illegality appropriated and spent Rivers state funds without legislative approval and oversight.

2. That the Plaintiffs remain valid members of the House .

There are provisions in the constitution that allow for the Senate to take over the day to day plenary proceedings of any given state(s).

One of which is when a state of emergency has been declared over a state and marshal law instituted.

Another scenario arises when the majority members of the house can not meet up to their duties owing to an unforeseen tragedy.

richmond500:
It's fine u want to believe the nairaland version of the story, it's fine court cases are somehow sketchy to understand.
But let me tell u this, if a lawmaker defects, they automatically lose their seat, it doesn't even have to go through court.
Fubara will not recognize them, and the court did not reinstated them, taking the case to court was just to buy more time and remain relevant to their supporters, they know very they are not speakers that is why they went and stole some files in court just to make the case longer.

Read the original court ruling at the federal High court and see what Justice Omotosho ruling statement was .

That same judgement has been upheld up to the Supreme Court.

Use brain.

If Fubara refuses to abide by the Supreme Court ruling , there is a high possibility that the Senate may assume plenary over the Rivers state legislative branch.

This will open the doors very wide for a possible impeachment by the Senate.

Fubara can not be allowed to continue to act with impunity .

The 27 man faction form the vast majority of the House and all of them were duly elected into the House

Fubara can not decide on his own who he chooses to work with at the State House of Assembly.

If he refuses to ensure that the 27 members are allowed to resume full legislative functions, then it's up to the Senate to take over the proceedings of the House because an executive can not be allowed to wantonly spend state resources without the neccessaey oversight and checks and balances from the legislature.

All it takes is for a Senator to raise the motion at the floor of the Senate to get the Senate to take over the day to day plenary session of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

It's from there , that Fubara's rascality will be made obvious and an impeachment move initiated.

richmond500:
did u follow the case abi u got ur information from Twitter and NL?
The case that went to supreme court was never about the authentic speaker of the Riv HOA but appropriation of 2024 bill to the Martins faction.
The High court ruled that the 2024 bill should be passed to Martins and his friends, the appeal also ruled in their favour. Fubara took it to the supreme court, but a day to the court day, the governor withdraw the case cos the money has already been spent and the court had to dismiss the case, no court has ever said they are the authentic speaker.
The case of who is the authentic speaker is still in federal high court in Rivers state.

So since no court has reinstated them, it means they have lost their seat by constitutional provision.

Who sued Fubara to court ?

Was it not the same 27 man faction of the House who Fubara has barred from convening at the State Assembly Complex?

What was Fubara's main defense ?

Was it not that the legislators had no right to sue him to court on the basis that they had automatically lost their seats for decamping ?

What was the Court ruling on the above ?

The High Court Judge ruled that the Plaintiffs remained valid members of the House and that Fubara could not establish by way of evidence that they had decamped.

In the process of the court case up to the Supreme court, the courts upheld that the Plaintiffs had every right to challenge Fubara's budget presentation that it did not go through them . The court not only sided with the 27 man faction but upheld their positions as interested parties being bonafide members of the Rivers State assembly in filing the case .

The court did not rule only on Fubara's illegality of signing into law a budget that did not go through the House but also upheld the Plaintiffs as bonafide members of the house.

Use brain 🧠

richmond500:
any court of competent jurisdiction will entertain any suit.
The constitution made it clear that law makers will not defect except there is crisis at the national level in their party.
In the eyes of the law as stated by the constitution, they have defected, the judiciary will interpret the law to them and finally sack them.
But for now the executive has every right to not recognize them as lawmakers

The plaintiffs presented themselves as members of the Rivers State House of Assembly .

Fubara attempted to dismiss their petition by claiming they had lost their seats owing to decamping to another party.

The court ruled that the Plaintiffs had every right to present their case before it as they are valid members of the Rivers State House of assembly and dismissed Fubara's prayers to strike the case out on the plea that the legislators had been sacked for decamping to which the court ruled that Fubara had no such powers to make such pronouncement and that he did not provided proof of evidence that the law markers had decamped.

The case being entertained by the federal High Court up to the Supreme Court ruled that the legislators had every right to drag Fubara to court and that they remain valid members of the House.


Use brain.

richmond500:
no, that is not what the court said, both the high court and supreme court told the Riv Govt to re-pass the bill to the martins faction but SIM took it to the supreme court. It was later dismissed yesterday cos the money has already been spent, furthermore no court has reinstated them as authentic speaker, therefore in the face of the law, they have defected until a court reinstate them.

Their case on defection is still in the federal high court in Riv state and not even yet in the supreme court.
Most of u jubilated yesterday that SIM lost the case, I even made a thread to educate people on it but they called me e-lawyer until the Riv govt came out to clarify it, u are still doubting.

Martins and his group of friends are not the authentic speakers by the constitution

Who sacked them?

The fact that the courts up to the Supreme court even entertained their suit should tell you that the court still sees them as valid legislators.

Chibuzoc:
For how long have you held him yet he is fearless and undeterred. In years to come our unborn generations will sing his praise and he will be remembered forever

It's all for the cameras.

He needs to keep up the show.

The court is his stage .

When they arrested him in Kenya, did you not see how gentle and remorseful he looked?

All these rubbish will end when he is finally convicted and sent to the Yola Maximum Prison.

Nah that time he will know that he has become government property.

So by falsely accusing Justice Binta Nyanko of being biased without providing any evidence to back it up which is a deliberate tactic that is meant to stall his trial, and requesting that the case be transferred to a Federal High Court in the SE preferably with an Ibo judge , all this epistle filled with spit was written.


Rubbish.


It's high time the Government establishes a Special Court to handle terrorism cases and have it domiciled in Abuja.

Everything is food to you guys.

Seems the hunger games of the civil war has ingrained food as the only thing worth living for in your DNA.

No wonder grown siblings are murdering themselves over food in that your yeast. Father killing son over last wrap of akpu .

UltraSolid:
Mumu. This is why you have killers, cultist and criminals cowering your 80 year old parents in the SE today and beating them mercilessly if they dare flout sit-at-home order.

You people are too unreasonable. Talk is about Kanu's megalomania and insane arrogance that led him to believe he is now the god of Igbos who is e tiredly above reproach and an ultimate authority who can point finger and his goon will kill anyone his finger identifies.

Instead of you pathetic people to introspect on the proven fact that the likes of dictatorial and emptily arrogant Kanu should have no place in the leadership class of one of the biggest ethnic groups in Africa, you are defending and exalting the Hitler wannabe blindly. Backwards people. That is what you lot are.

Don't blame them.

Tyranny is the only way to rule an unruly people.

Might is right in that side hence why they all seek materialism as a form of protection from their oppressive society .


Kanu is a reflection of the SE.

MadamExcellency:
That's authority. The Boss talks, you listen when you're under his employment.

That's corporate administration. You don't know how this works when all you know is the streets or your mother's basement.

A detainee with a full DSTV bouquet in his room, all paid for by the government. Maximum respect for the Liverpool fan.

He checks all the boxes of what a Pyschotic disorder sufferer is.



This isn't bravery , this is madness.

He is obviously suffering from a malady of mental illness .

Did Uwazurike not warn the world that this Kanu is suffering from hereditary madness ?
