Honjoshy4u:Telling your people to vote against APC is too simplistic an approach and doesn't solve the real problem. The cabal that hijacked the APC and dealt with Nigerians in the last 7 years has clearly ported to PDP as their planned new manifestation ground. So voters need to be wise to understand where to go or else they will inadvertently vote the same cabal in again through PDP. The desire of the north and the cabal is aligned in the single cauae of retaining power in the North by all means possible. If Obi cannot win, which in all honesty is a tall order, then it is advisable to vote enmasse in the opposite direction of the cabal rather than play into their hands in the name of punishing APC. The taskmasters have changed color already. |
Ezeama400:Unfortunately for Buhari, this is a democracy and not military rule and he is not a politician. There is a limit to his power. If all the APC Governors band against him, it is difficult if not impossible for him to win them. And that is the situation that is unravelling. It would be foolish for all other APC candidates across the country to sit and watch while someone on a personal vendetta trash their chances at the polls. |
baralatie:That is the typical Nigerian for you. When he sees people stronger than him, he remembers the rule of law. But let him have power and same person will see himself above the law. His tenure ends next month and after that, when his travails start, he would remember there is God and there is rule of the law. |
madridguy:Emefiele is playing... His tenure ends next month and he is risking an ignominious and shameful end to his tenure. |
Racoon:There is a limit to Arowolo's blame on the matter. He cannot interfere with judgements delivered and being handled by Supreme Court Justices because they are not his employees and it is not within his mandate to interfere particularly in the interest of justice. If there is anybody to blame, it is the Judges that delivered the contemptuous majority judgement that forcefully gave the APC Senate primaries to Akpabio and Lawan. The problem with corruption is that it is like cancer. It spreads into as much areas as it can. The Judiciary went on strike last year in a bid to force the Executive to follow the Constitutional dictate of allowing the Judiciary to directly get and manage its allocations. But the strike failed to achieve that and these are some of the effects. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. You cannot have a truelly Independent Judiciary that receives its pay and welfare from the Executive arm of Government. |
press9jatv:Please read the cases carefully. The case in 2018 was WAEC Certificate forgery allegation and WAEC representative came to give testimony to affirm that the certificate is valid. The ingredients of the certificate forgery being cross appealed by Oyetola currently is different. It relates to a certificate from Atlanta Metropolitan College and a diploma certificate from Penn Foster High School presented to INEC by Adeleke. The dates on the certificates showed that Adeleke obtained a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice within 24 days of obtaining a Diploma Certificate which purports on its surface to be an equivalent of Secondary School Certificate. Adeleke has been unable to explain how the diploma certificate that was used to enter into University for a Bachelor Degree is just 24 days apart from the Degree Certificate. It is clear than one of them or both the degree and diploma certificates are not genuine. |
Manofnaija:Oyetola is cross appealing that the Tribunal should have taken into consideration the fact that Adelek presented forged certificates to INEC and should have been disqualified regardless of the issue of over-voting. The simple truth is that Adeleke is a goner. Section 182(1)(j) of the Nigerian Constitution states as follows: "(1) No person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if - ..... (j) he has presented a forged certificate to the independent National Electoral Commission." All the judges at the Tribunal agreed that Adeleke presented forged certificates and the natural thing to do in accordance with the Constitution is to disqualify him. I cannot see how Adelek can overcome this. Not at all. https://jurist.ng/constitution/sec-182 |
LoveUdie:Daddy Freeze is not only a fake religious personality (as I wouldn't dignify him with a Pastor title) but a dangerous one. Is this not the same man who was sleeping with a married woman and was eventually charged to court for adultery and fined 5 million naira? What moral basis does he have to talk about cheating married women when he was an unrepentant cheater with a married woman even to the point of impregnating her? And now he comes preaching false and dangerous theology that premarital sex in Biblical? Haba. Run from this Anti-Christ people! https://punchng.com/high-court-fines-daddy-freeze-n5m-for-adultery/?amp |
[quote author= post=120752966]https://guardian.ng/news/naira-swap-fg-insists-on-feb-10-asks-apex-court-to-dismiss-states-suit/ Clash of the Titans El Rufai and Co want to flex muscle with federal power, this is not APC presidential primary that power rest on state governors [/quote]The AGF Malami should be stripped of his SAN title. The last time Chief Age Babalola and Olanipekun approached the Supreme Court to reverse itself, what was the outcome? The eminent lawyers were fined and reprimanded seriously.The AGF being well aware of such precedent is now approaching the Supreme Court not only to reverse itself but to tell itself that it had no jurisdiction over a suit the Supreme Court had already scheduled for hearing and has even made an order in respect of. What kind of nonsense lawyer is Malami. Even a baby lawyer knows the like outcome of this stupid misadventure of the AGF before the Supreme Court. |
edlion57:How does the action of the Governors and the Supreme Court judgement translate to fighting you and the people in the name of working for you? It is no more news that deadline stipulated for the cash swap as well as the overall implementation of the policy has left a lot to be desired and brought a lot of hardship upon the general populace. People are sleeping overnight at ATM sites, attacking banks and bankers, POS Operators are charging exhorbitant rates for cash withdrawals and riots are almost breaking out in multiple cities across the country. And you expect reasonable Governors to keep quiet when Buhari and Emefiele remain adamant? The Governors approached the Supreme Court with cogent arguments to warrant the suspension of the deadline and you now label that as working against the people? Which people? The people that are experiencing all these hardships or the ones in diaspora that are insulated? |
TotoGame:Please read the news report from the link below: https://guardian.ng/news/lawan-in-machina-out-supreme-court-decision-splits-lawyers/ INEC did not witness the primary won by Lawan as INEC was not appropriately notified. Furthermore, the primary hat produced Machina was not cancelled. Lawan's victory here may be short lived when PDP goes to Court later to contest that the primary that produced Lawan was faulty and as such APC has no valid candidate for the Senatorial election. We have witnessed similar scenario in Rivers, Cross River and Zamfara States before. On the issue of use of originating summons, the fact that APC forwarded the name of Lawan was an established fact. Machina provided evidence that he was the valid APC candidate from the only valid primary conducted and yet APC forwarded Lawan's name. All these are established facts that support the originating summons because the matter for decision were points of law. Machina was not suing APC for fraud. So it is pointless for his lawyers to use writ of summons against APC. The 2 Judges that gave minority judgement concurred with the use of originating summons just like judges at the High Ourt and Court of Appeal had done. The judges that found fault in the originating summons because of the use of fraud in Machina's labeling of the APC action in forwarding Lawan's name to INEC were not being honest at all. |
TotoGame:There is no grave mistake. The judgement is simply a travesty of justice. The APC primary conducted after Lawan lost the Presidential primaries did not follow protocol. INEC was not present at the primary and was not given the appropriate notice. Furthermore the primary that produced Machina was not cancelled. |
densiks:The Supreme Court judgement is a big disgrace ro kustice and the judiciary in Nigeria. The judgement was apparently influenced and it is really sad that we have come to such glaring state of corruption in the country without leaving any area sacred or untouched. |
PointZerom:If Tinubu and his bullion van is the reason for the naira redesign as you claim, then such action is short-sighted, stupid, vindictive and selfish. The saying in justice is that it is better to let ten criminals go scot free than to kill an innocent man. In this you hatred of one man and in a bid to bring him down, you do not mind thousands of innocent masses that will die or be injured just to achieve your aim. Do you know how many have already died and injured from the long queues, riots and lack of money to pay for health services or buy drugs? Do you know how many are starving and have money in bank but cannot buy food? Is the high price of petrol and unavailability which has caused the masses pains also one of your strategies against bullion van? It is clear you and the cabal are playing a game to continue the Fulan hegemony in Nigeria. You do not mind killing APC party and the masses just to have your way. But I dare say the masses can already see through it all. And your plans will backfire. |
Deenee34:The same Atiku that is enjoying the tragedy that is being foisted on the Nigerian masses through fuel scarcity and naira swaps by Buhari's cabal to the point of advising the CBN Governor and Buhari not to extend the currency swap deadline? Isn't it strange that rather than cry out against Buhari and APC for the recent hardship on the masses, Atiku and PDP Spokesmen have been making a defense of the harsh policies by Buhari to the point of making it clear there is collusion between them? Atiku understands only his ambition and has consistently shown he will sacrifice party and the masses for it if need be. |
YinkaOlusesi16:What the Nigerian Army did at Oshodi is overreaching their mandate in a civil democracy. It is the Police that investigate and arrest criminals, not the Army. Some people may praise them because of a political agenda at the moment, but using the wrong thing to do even what you think is right remains a wrong approach with consequences now or in the future. It simply means you can use the Army beyond their mandate to achieve or settle personal scores. |
bennybuhari:Isn't it surprising that a PDP spokesman is making apologies on behalf of APC Government for fuel scarcity when elections are around the corner? It is becoming clear that the cabal that is in charge of Buhari and his government, the same cabal that made APC hell for Nigerians is now secretly suppporting the PDP and Atiku to take over power. The cabal, which is Northern and has masterminded a regime of infamy, wants another 8 years for the North. Nigerians need to vote wisely. |
PrinceOfLagos:The same Emefiele that bowed down to Isa Funtua?
|
APC2:The simple rule is that where there is over-voting in any polling unit, all votes in the affected polling units are cancelled. So bolth Adeleke and Oyetola had votes deducted due to the cancelled votes. I do not know what you mean by "the number of votes in the over-voting areas is more than the number of votes needed for declaring a clear winner." Our electoral system is based on winning with a simple majority even if it is just ten votes. After deducting the cancelled votes, it is clear that Oyetola has a majority of almost 100K votes. So there is no case for any re-run. |
Shalashaska:The problem that Harry has is that since he is cut out from Royal Duties and the accompanying income, he has to look for ways to generate income. His wife Meghan can hardly work as an actress anymore and they have to keep up a certain lifestyle. The only way they can sustain that lifestyle is through the media (giving interviews, writing tell-all books, shows, etc). That is why he is the first ever Royal Family member to have a Netflix series. |
DavSagacity:While Saudi Arabia is banning Abaya in examination halls for femal students and insisting the students wear their school uniforms, MURIC and Ogun Alfas are playing holier than thou with hijab in Ogun State. https://www.nairaland.com/7500156/saudi-arabia-bans-abaya-exam |
Saudi Arabia Bans Abaya In Examination Halls, Asks Female Students To Wear School Uniforms In Saudi Arabia, the abaya is no longer permitted in exam rooms, and female students must wear school uniforms.https://www.ndtv.com/feature/saudi-arabia-bans-abaya-in-examination-halls-asks-female-students-to-wear-school-uniforms-3630163 |
Blackdeewhy:IGP ordering an investigation and condemning the killing is not justice. We all know the outcome of the investigation would be the dismissal of the police officer involved. However the major culprit is not the Policeman but the Nigeria Police that gave guns and uniforms to madmen. What have the Police been doing to reduce such killings of citizens by their offficers beyond dismissing the officers? How often do they do psychological evaluation of their officers? What safety measures have the Police put in place against accidental discharges? Justice can only be achieved when the police officer involved is dismissed, sentenced by a Judge for the crime and the Nigerian Police made to pay compensation of over N 100 million to the victim's family due to the vicarious liability of the Police in the matter. |
kereman1:Arresting the Policeman and even sentencing him to death alone is not justice. Justice involves having the Nigeria Police pay compensation of at least N 100 million to each victim. This is because they are the one who gave the gun to a madman and they must be punished so that they carefully scrutinize anyone they give guns to in the future! |
socialmediaman:Even if we do not like someone, we should be careful about spreading lies or misinformation. I am not aware of any documents in which Tinubu admitted to being a member of a heroin trafficking gang or network. Such admission if it were true, may qualify for criminal prosecution and indictments. I know there were speculations and circumstantial evidence linking Tinubu to Akande and his heroin gang but the US Government apparently did not have enough evidence to pursue a case in that direction and simply opted for a Civil Forfeiture case. https://saharareporters.com/2009/02/18/bola-tinubus-heroin-tainted-assets-forfeiture-judgement |
Olu317:While I agree with your point on the need for reorientation for people to have a grip of their history, I beg to differ on some of your other points. 1. The mistranslation of names is understandable because a person cannot translate beyond his vocabulary and such translations are not necessarily derogatory. The names of most of the dieties are missing in modern Yoruba vocabulary of most people and so it is only natural they seek meaning through other similar words. For example when the only "Igbe" in your vocab is associated with excreta and doesn't include bush, then how do you translate "Adekogbe" correctly? 2. Your statement on Christian misinformation on naming is wrong and misleading. If there is any misinformation on naming, it is from the people who do not have a thorough grasp of their historical heritage and not any particular religion. 3. Religion is a way of life for some people beyond mere observances and it encompasses what they eat, wear and even how they name themselves and that is seen in the Yoruba people and even Arabians. When religion changes for some people, lifestyles and naming may also need to change. Abdulah and its various forms mean slave or servant of Allah and essentially all Muslims whether bearing that name or not are sales of Allah. So a Yoruba Muslim understably should have no qualms bearing Abdul even when he knows the full meaning. |
SmartPolician:Tinubu was never convicted. That case in which he was involved was brought against the bank accounts housing money believed to be proceeds of crime. It was a Civil Forfeiture case and Tinubu was involved because the bank accounts belonged to him and he argued against forfeiting the money on the accounta. Eventually he lost about $400k and retained over $1m. No one gets convicted in civil cases. Reno is just being mischievous. |
NOETHNICITY:Even in a proper Federation, it is clear that the Nigerian Constitution supersede any laws that any State or Region may make. Now how do you reconcile Sharia Law stipulations on apostasy ad blasphemy with Section 38(1) and Section 39(1) of the Constitution? Section 38(1) states that "Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance.” Section 39(1) states that "Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference." The truth is that Sharia conflicts with the Constitution in several ways and Muslims advocating for it in a secular country like Nigeria are demonstrating not only intolerance but disregard for the Constitution that binds us all together. It is clear from the Constitution that you cannot adopt a State Religion and that is what States like Kano and Zamfara are doing in clear violation of the Constitution by using State Government funds to sponsor a particular religion. The establishment of Sharia agencies and religious police further engenders discrimination against other Nigeria citizens based on religion which is contrary to the dictates of the Constitution. You can read below on further conflicts of Sharia with the Constitution in a publication by the Human Rights Watch https://www.hrw.org/reports/2004/nigeria0904/13.htm#:~:text=Section%2038%20(1)%20of%20the,a%20violates%20the%20right%20to |
NOETHNICITY:Nigerian Muslims particularly in the North are the most intolerant religious group in the country. Their open practice of Sharia in a multi-religious and secular country in clear defiance of the Nigerian Constitution is there for all to see. Using State funds to sponsor religious police who harras non-Myslims economically and physically is nothing but pure intolerance. |
West1side:This is a good development. But JAMB was not setup as and should not be a revenue generating entity. The profit should have been distributed through reduced exams costs to the populace. What is happening is just trying to do the wrong thing the right way. |
Sagamite:English and Hindi are the two official languages of the country of India and that is enshrined in the Constitution. States or Regions may have their own additional official langauges but that is not at the national level. |
Sagamite:According to Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, India has no National Language as per the Constitution but has English and Hindi as the official languages. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India |
