Honjoshy4u:
Then tell your people to vote against anything APC because e get why.
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.

Same El Rufai that deceived urchings to keep spending their old notes , Now they have been reduced to carrying old notes on the wheelbarrow ...

One thing I noticed about Buhari is that if he's determined to nail you, he wouldn't even mind killing his own brother in the process as long as you are tamed politically.. Buhari is 100% ready for Tinubu..

Forget his tricks..
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.

How can you be robbing Peter to pay Paul? So much abuse and miscarriage of justice being done by the Arowolo led so called sacred bench. Useless compromised Supreme Court of a failed country.
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.

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.

Forged certificate or over voting.

It like APC is lost in this matter.
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.

LoveUdie:
65 Out Of 83 Women I Counselled Cheated On Their Husbands -Daddy Freeze

Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has said that 65 women out of the 83 women he counseled in 2018 had cheated on their husbands.

He made this known via his Instagram account on Friday commenting on actor Deyemi Okanlawon’s opinion that making love with one’s partner four times a week is small.

Daddy Freeze said that sex is very important in marriage or relationships and advised his fans not to allow motivational speakers to mislead them.

He said, “ More than once a day sef if you can- Intercourse is very very very important in a marriage or committed relationship. No marriage that no fit satisfies you o, e get why.

“ As a church leader, let me give you some scary statistics. First, remember that the Freenation Church only started in 2017, so all the members of our church came from other churches, largely pentefraudsta.

“In 2018, I counseled 83 married women, 65 of them had cheated on their husbands at least once, while 43 of them (more than half), had cheated more than once. Finally, 25 of them were in current relationships with other men.😳

“These were spirit-filled, tongue-kitbashing prayer warriors o. Some were even workers in my former pente church.

“If intercourse is not so important, please why were they cheating? This is why I say it all the time, from the moment you are engaged, my advice is; to sample the goods, and taste the milk before you buy the cow. No scripture says it is sinful for an engaged couple to have intercourse.
-
“The word fornication was coined by the authors of the King James Bible and it never included intercourse between engaged or betrothed couples. If una fit dey fire several times a day, fire dey goes e dey help prostate. No, let motivational speakers mislead you o. Me I don talk my own and e dey work well well. ~FRZ”
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!

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?
Politics › Re: Lawan’s Supreme Court Victory, Daylight Robbery – Machina Camp by Babinski: 10:12pm On Feb 07, 2023
TotoGame:
There was! See what one of the judges noted

“That the first respondent accused the APC of fraudulently substituting his name with that of Lawan. Where there is an allegation of fraud it should not be commenced by an originating summons. There was a need to call witnesses to prove allegations of fraud.” Nweze (JSC)

This particular unprofessional conduct of machina's lawyer invalidates the whole fraud allegation and hence the said "fradulent" primaries becomes valid

Remember an INEC official testified that they monitored both primary elections conducted by the APC at the court of first instance
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.

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.

Since the number of votes in the over-voting areas is more than the number of votes needed for declaring a clear winner. The tribunal should have rule for a rerun, not deducting the votes from Adeleke votes as there was no any forensic verification that all the votes deducted belong to Adeleke.
The justices failed woefully
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.

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.

In 2018, it was announced that the abaya would no longer be legally enforced.

The Saudi Arabian government establishment has banned the "abaya" from the examination halls of the educational institutions, according to The National.
The Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission, a body in charge of approving educational and training systems, made the decision. The decision involved the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education as well.

According to the administration, female students will no longer be allowed to wear the abaya during exams. They are now required to wear school uniforms in the exam rooms, which must also adhere to public decency norms.

The news outlet further reported that in 2018, it was announced that the abaya would no longer be legally enforced, although a number of women in the kingdom continue to wear them. Traditionally black, more colourful abayas in light blues and pinks are also worn by women across the Gulf.

According to Gulf News, the Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC), in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, is a government agency tasked with planning, evaluating, assessing, and accrediting Saudi Arabia's educational and training institutions. ETEC is a governmental organisation that is independent in both its legal and financial operations and directly answers to the Prime Minister. It was founded in 2017 as a result of the Council of Ministers' Decree No. 120.

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.

The court documents which he agreed to and signed stated that he was an active participant of a heroin trafficking organization, and the money he forfeited represented proceeds of heroin trafficking which he was an active participant in

The IRS is a tax agency and though they conducted the investigation that revealed the full extent of his criminal activities, they were only interested in the tax evasion part

Punishment for tax evasion could be a fine or asset forfeiture, jail term, or both, and in this case he was given asset forfeiture as punishment

The DOJ was responsible for prosecuting him for the heroin trafficking crimes but it seems the IRS didn’t share that information with the DOJ, or DOJ had other bigger responsibilities and didn’t give priority to him.

As you know, it wasn’t until 9/11 that agencies started working more closely together and sharing information better with one another
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.

Culture › Re: Yoruba Names Whose Meanings Are Now Lost by Babinski: 9:02am On Dec 26, 2022
Olu317:
Ofcourse yes, you are right. The problem being encountered is the derogatory interpretation of Yoruba names and lack of us not knowing our names are associated with Orisa.

The Christians misinformation on naming is a major setback and from Islamic angle even to an extent Yoruba Muslims bear Islamic name which ends up as prefix slavish name which is a taboo fromYoruba traditional doctrine but are often accepted by muslims. You hear people attached Abdul as a prefix before other names with joy but the meaning is Slave or servitude or one who is owned and in total submission to his owner.

In Yoruba religious perspective or system, Yorubas are all sons and daughters to Orúnmìílà/Ẹlà,,who is also known as Olúwa etc (ibikéjì Elédùmárè-the other face of Elédùmárè).

On the angle of not having firm grip on Yoruba names and its meaning, then it will always be orientation and reorientation for people to have grip on their history and original meaning of their names without watery translation.
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.

Even though I am not Reno's fan, I agree with him. Tinubu's lawyer represented him in the US when the case was on. I think he was in Nigeria at the time that's why they didn't pick him up. It's all about negotiating with the authorities to get a soft landing.

It's interesting to see almost all Nairalanders hailing Labour Party for the decision of Doyin Okupe to step aside. It shows that the party has zero tolerance for the breach of due process.
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:
You clearly have no knowledge of what you are talking about.
Nigeria is a federation and the constitution recognizes the power of states governments in conjunction with states assemblies to enact and institute laws of governance as it deems fit.
This is how it is with every country that operates a federal system of government.

This being said it’s important to state that Sharia is such that it’s Islam laws are non binding on Christians or other non Muslims.

However the other day Wike declared Rivers a Christian state, and not a single Christian in Nigeria cared to remind him that Nigeria is a ‘secular state’.
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.

Nigerian Christians should learn to be tolerant.
I experienced this same treatment during my days in boarding school where we were flogged mercilessly for not attending Sunday church services. I was eventually illegally conscripted into Christianity and thought I had seen the light after I started speaking in tongues during prayers, until I and our entire family was redeemed by God through my Cousin.
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.

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.

Each region has its own set of official languages. Hindi is not the only official language.
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.

Sorry. Wrong!

In India, each state/region has its own set of official languages as well. So Hindi is not the only local official langauge of communication in India.
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.
