OLADD:
Femi Falana is undoubtedly a shameless and irresponsible lawyer, no apologies. A so-called social critic who often sacrifice decency on the altar of parochialism and petty politics. He has shown times without number his uncanny hatred for the person of Fayose but must he turn logics on its head by twisting sections of the constitution to give substance to his fallacious dispositions? For the avoidance of any doubt;

1. Section 308 of the Constitution clearly says a judicial proceeding be it civil or criminal CANNOT be instituted against a sitting President, VP, Governor and Deputy Governor.

2. The EFCC Act allows officials in (1) above to be investigated while in office but forbids actions that lead to prosecution including Freezing of their Accounts/seizing their assets.

3. There's is a clear difference between investigating and placing embargo on account been investigated by way of freezing. An account can be investigated without been frozen.

4. Section 28 of the EFCC Act allows the Account of accused individuals WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED to be frozen. In this index case, Fayose was neither arrested nor placed on restricted movement. In fact, Section 308 forbids EFCC or any other law enforcement agent from taking such step against Fayose. Therefore, on what ground did the EFCC hing its decision to freeze Fayose's account?

I am not a lawyer but if placed side by side with Femi Falana, I will rub his legal robe in the mud. He's such a double-mouthed and unstable personality.

U can't even compete with his shadow with ur shallow comprehension issues abeg!

Re-read d article for better understanding!

"in the case of the Governor or Deputy Governor.
Since there is no immunity for impunity as far as electoral
malfeasance is concerned the investigation by the EFCC is
in order.
The senior lawyers who have questioned the freezing of
Mr.
Fayose's account on the ground that the EFCC did not
obtain a court
order have not read section 28 of the EFCC Act which
provides that
"where a person is arrested for an offence under this Act,
the
Commission shall immediately trace and attach all the
assets and
properties of the person acquired as a result of such
economic or
financial crime and shall thereafter cause to be obtained
an interim
attachment order from the Court". The law permits the
EFCC to
freeze an account or attach a property of a criminal suspect
and
proceed thereafter to obtain an ex parte order from the
appropriate
court.
I am not unaware that by the strict interpretation of section
308 of
the Constitution no court process can be issued or served
on a
governor. But because immunity cannot be pleaded or
invoked to
cover electoral fraud, elected governors are served with
court
processes and dragged to court to respond to allegations of
electoral
malpractice. However, in order to give effect and validity to
the
equality of the rights of all contestants in a presidential or
governorship elections, it has been held by the Supreme
Court that
immunity clause cannot be invoked in election petitions.
Otherwise,
public officers covered by the immunity clause may take
advantage
of their positions to rig elections and thereby sabotage the
democratic
process. The rationale for suspending the operation of the
immunity
clause during the hearing of election petition was explained
by the
late Justice Kayode Eso in Obih Vs. Mbakwe (1984) "

Our democrazy is actually maturing. We are on a learning curve, everyone is just learning d limits of their powers.

Every arm of govt is actually getting to do d jobs they were employed to do. Along they way, they'll make mistakes and hopefully, correct them when shown to be in d wrong.

Naija9090:
I tired of all these disgracing of the country. Go and form your Oduo Republic and do your ancient things there...stop dragging us all especially SE and SS minus Edo, that don't believe in Obas, Emirs and Onis. This act alone I'm sure will cost taxpayers thousands of dollars to mobilize the firefighters and equipment for something uncalled for.

Why I believe PMB's wife is AISHA of Haliburton scam

Following the controversies currently going on concerning the Haliburton case. I have decided to give the following case scenerios as reasons why I believe that Aisha Buhari od the Haliburton case is indeed our first lady.

1. Lamorde, former EFCC boss was claimed to be on the run after diverting over N1trillion of EFCC money. The truth is that the money was diverted for Buharia's election and that is the reason why he has remained untouched till date. He was only sent away on a terminal leave.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/199056-senate-orders-arrest-former-efcc-chairman-lamorde.html


Just when we had almost forgotten about the money he diverted from EFCC, he now came back from the moon to tell us that AISHA BUHARI is not the president's wife. At the moment GEJ has the whole file and it is part of the reason why GEJ has not been touched till date.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/why-weve-not-arrested-jonathan-efcc-boss/


According to EFCC, the EFCC boss, Mr Ibrahim Magu said that no document has been traced to Jonathan giving any approval for the disbursement of the money for any purpose other than arms purchase.

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/why-weve-not-arrested-jonathan-efcc-boss/



This is a big lie, Jonathan has the full file of the Haliburton case.



2.Remember thw N135 Million NGN donation by Aisha to IDP in Yola during the election?

Have you ever asked yourself where she got that money in as much as her husband claimed that time that she cannot afford money for the nomination form


http://www.nigerianeye.com/2014/10/i-took-bank-loan-to-pay-for-apc.html

She also tried to control the damage by reducing the donation but was criticized and that was what she want


http://dailypost.ng/2016/04/01/aisha-buhari-donates-five-bags-of-rice-four-cartons-of-milk-to-displaced-agatu-people/




Well, I guess a lot of people were very gullible to ask questions.




PLEASE, Madam Aisha, prove us wrong by going to the USA.

Well, I prefer a fair hearing and if not for our incompetent journalists, the truth would have been exposed!

1. She made her personal money from running a beauty shop, beauty training skul and also winning contracts from d NNPC to train students in her training skul.(Her hand dey inside looters of national cake, even if legitimately)

2. She's actually from a respected(rich?) family in Adamawa. Her father was a former prominent politician.

3. Our so called journalists/op could have requested confirmation from d US govt, afterall "oyibo no dey lie"!

4. Did GEJ approve d halliburton bribe? Abi, what has a full file gat to do with Magu saying dey don't av proof of him signing any corrupt file?

5. Ask questions and read wide, u'll realise u shouldn't bother questioning some scenarios, they won't make any sense, no matter how well concocted!

Personally, I believe there is a friction in their marriage, though d situation is being managed admirably. I've never heard of them travelling together, even d recent 10days break!

LadyExcellency:
What matters is what the majority says. The Attorney General invite stands and he can't ignore it.

Some disgruntled elements will have their say while the majority have their way.

The Executive got no business or power over the internal rules of the Senate. The rules were used for virtually every business of the government till date and there is still no motion on the floor of the Senate calling for reversal, amendment or otherwise of 2015 Senate Standing Rules hence the accusation is frivolous, void and of no effect whatsoever.

Simply put, the Executive lacks the locus standi to challenge rules in court - simple

All these ur latin dey fear me sef!

But, from a layman's point of view; a forgery was carried out in a state institution, and a petition was written by an active sinator. The police carried out investigations and referred d results to d AGN's office. Is NASS a private biz? What stops d next opposition party from forging rules to swear in their preferable candidate?

Gone are d days of impunity, we should always be answerable for our crimes against laid down rules and regulations!

AdaNri1:
Lucky boy, if he were an Akwa ibom boy who will see him, Seems like the only way to get the attention of this government is to be norther that has been abused. All the children abused (including the one abandoned by his parents for being a witch) the First Lady did not even acknowledge. Nobody should quote me to say anything ignorantly.

The First Lady should champion the cause of ALL vulnerable children not just a select few.

Chill abeg. The one wey dem call witch... d oyinbo woman wey rescue am, made $1m in 24hrs from donations online. She ended up adopting him. First lady's financial assistance was not needed, though I believe she could still have paid a visit. Esp, to those skolombo kids of Calabar.

olasmith10:
Fayose that cld v actually kept quiet cld not control the length and breath of his mouth..
If he comes out alive on dis issue he should count himself lucky.. All I know is that he will smell pepper!!!

My brother, how do u expect them to keep quiet when they know d extent of their crimes? Or have u not noticed all d noisemakers are being indicted(metuh, ffk, fayose)?

They made all those noise to create an impression of credible opposition to be used as a defence against prosecution from their crimes!

Abeymills:
Dis place stinks zombies everywhere here hw much is d final take home pay of a level 3officer after govt deduction?38k he pays 4his rent a room outside Abuja cost 90k he transport himself 2work from 38k he goes 2d same market everybody buys from yet d minister gets 30million 4her accommodation yearly I say dis wit all pain n anger in me may God almighty punish anybody dat faults dis request from dis civil servants

If it can't take care of their needs, let them resign and get a better well paying job! Thousands are in Abj, living on salaries below minimum wage(18k), yet some ingrates are seeking overtime in a FG job?!

I say this with all the pain and anger against looters of our commonwealth, May d Almighty punish all those that are illegally looting Naija's funds!

Can't u make a comment without insults? U're foolish for thinking I live in poverty!

Shouldn't I be worried abt d future of my kids? Where a set of politicians are allowed to make away with our commonwealth! No basic amenities! Must everyone run out of d country to get d basic necessities a functioning govt should provide?

Can't u just sit down and use ur brains to think abt d future

Lol he gave Buhari, APC and this fake corruption war a serious slap oooo!

This isn't media court o. Let Buhari and his corruption power hungry APC put their money where their mouth is and request his extradition. So they can be disgraced and exposed, so that the entire world will know this "king" has no clothes!

Metuh said worse things, now he's begging to refund

Fani-Kayode has been all over before his arrest, we're yet to hear from him

He should relax, his time will come!

Op, take it a step further by naming and shaming them! Let them come after u(sue), just make sure u're active on social media and update on all happenings!

This govt won't stand for such and once its public knowledge, everybody(police, efcc, dss,) will do d needful! U can visit a prominent human right activist to state ur case.

As for me, I'm one of those d afro legend, Fela, was talking about;

He always get reasons to fear


Beautiful music!

kingreign:
now, you see ya sef?
Truth is, Kazeem isnt to share all the blame.
1. Learning auto repairs is an expensive procedure,
2. Buying 21st century auto diagnostics and fixing tools are very expensive. Do you know a diagnosis tool can go as high as 3m?
3. The govt, well meaning nigerians, and private institutions arent ready to set up auto learning centres.
4. Parts sold here are mostly used, substandard parts.
5. Most car owners would rather shy away from genuine OEM parts when available and compare it to their income, price of fake substandard parts, they also try to encourage the technician to cut corners in fixing a problem such as removal of thermostat, connection of fan directly, adjust throttle pedal and idle speed valve to compensate for rough idle or even dead maf.
6. Most cars entering the country and being driven in the roads are salvaged, and you know what it means buying running and fixing a salvaged vehicle (especially accident, flood or fire salvaged)
7. When a technician does a great job the right way, most customers dont encourage them by paying well.
8. Some mechanics dont wish to learn new things.

Don't mind op, even coscharis will still tell u off am n on am, they just charge u more!

Don't wait on GEJ or PMB! Do d little u can.

soulpeppersoup:
I read the news up there then went through the comments and I was amazed with the stupidity of 90% of those who commented. Did they actually read the post?

Nigeria is doomed if these are actually leaders of tomorrow. Their mental faculty has been corrupted with the supposed corruption crusade that they can't think straight again.

The young man is saying he is being pressured to return money without being tried to prove he took the said money illegally.

To compound the issue, the person who gave him the money said she did not know the money came from government. The question is if the giver did not know, how do you except the receiver to know?

This is a case of giving a dog a bad name to hang him.

D country was already doomed because of pple like u! Na stolen funds, wether him know b4 or not, make e return am! Ignorance is no excuse b4 d law! The giver has returned her part of d loot(she even deposit house join), let d takee return his own part, Metuh threatened worse, now he's begging to return with bonus!

By d way, he didn't say he didn't collect d funds, what he's saying is- he didn't know d funds were from govt coffers. Now he knows, let him just return it amicably!

i advise you to follow up developed countries and their policies and see for youself.. see the washington post, new york times, huffington post ect

A whole country is too risky for a trial and error field, this is why seasoned administrators with working knowledge not theoretical knowledge or academics are better leaders.


your naivety is sickeningly apparent with using a car as case study. New cars use ODB diagnostics to confirm errors. You don't , i repeat don't use trial and error for cars manufactured after 1996 else you'll cause more harm than good..

you are a typical Nigerian who will use trial and error for his car just because he is a knowledgeable engineer, when the proper thing is a scan tool to pinpoint the exact issue and fix

Scan to pinpoint what? I read all those news sites u mentioned and arrived at this same perspective! Do u read and understand urself?

Take Obamacare, it was several years in planning, by different arms of their govt, yet, all parties are agreed that it needs re-adjustments!

Take d UK immigration policy? Did they foresee d outcome?

Have u taken ur car to those diagnostic centers? I never wrote about dynamic planning and effective implementation being a complete failure, I'm just making u see they are neva up to 80% accurate, that's why we continue to get/see newer versions of d diagnostic tools, supplementary budgets, policy somersaults(even d EU is having a crisis with several pull-outs) etc

If u dont/cant see that, continue to live in ur utopia! I and several others live in d real world, where sh*t go wrong, and u have to use creativity to get results!

A whole Toyota had to recall vehicles like twice(airbags n brakes), Volkswagen are in a mess, ENRON happened, Madoff got away with a ponzi scheme in d US, Buffet still looses money; "best laid plans of ..."

U don't need to weep, just come into d real world and show me where theory has ever been translated into 100% practical?!

I'm into eng'g, so I can tell u, that ur car won't start might be due to several different faults! Pin-pointing d particular fault will take great luck, experience or painstaking and expensive troubleshooting!

I've got a friend who is an auditor for a conglomerate and he relates how he has to go outside d box to discover some frauds and d trails are so complex!

I can go on n on, but don't let me bore u or even av to weep at ur naivety!

Holywizard:
I am so sorry to say this but it is actually the truth.
Ever since I graduated last year my mum has made my life a living hell.
I ve tried severally to get used to her bad attitude but all to no avail.
She complains on every thing I do. In fact once she wakes up from sleep she must look for something to complain with.

Since I graduated, I automatically stopped receiving cash from them & they (she & my dad) doesn't even care whether I have money to recharge my phone. Since last year they haven't given me ordinary #1000 & once I complain they will say 'no money' but my mum especially keeps buying unnecessary things. No money but she'll buy new shoes, clothes, bags, cell phone etc which she won't even put on.

Last week, our last born of de family came back from school & she took him out for shopping & she spent not less than #50,000 on him. Everything she does now is on the boy. My mum can even wash the plates on behalf of him. Everything he does is right. She protects the boy like an egg.

When an old friend wanted me to come over to PH so that I'd be managing his business before I go for service, my mum refused, saying that the days are bad via money ritualism. All my elder siblings called me to talk sense into me that I should just stay back, I missed that big opportunity because I'd ve been having like hundreds of thousands in my bank account.

My parents doesn't care about my welfare. Right now I don't have up to #1000 in cash & in bank. I think they hate me & I
I hate my mum the most!!! I just feel like leaving the house for them.

Ur signature says wisdom?

U need to add maturity. If ur parents are not meeting ur needs and u get an opportunity to fend for urself, how did u den allow urself to be talked out of it?! Get a job, get out of their house, u'll earn more respect and they might be trying to ginger u out of ur default mode.
