Politics › Re: Tinubu's Guinean Citizenship Expired Once His Passport Expired- Wole Olanipekun by Badgers14: 12:25pm On Jul 18, 2023

Good now u r talking.. Can ushow us Tinubu oath of alligence or renunciation.in fact why should Tinubu help u in a case the burden lies with u. ..

There are many chadians in Nigeria, malians and other countries.. How do u determine who is Nigerian? U must present documentary evidence.. That is my point.. Presenting and expired passport that is invalid is same as present tissue paper in court.. Do u get it now...
grin grin

You see, Tinubu's case is quite unique.. even if anyone loves Tinubu, his case is very tricky to defend.

First, according to the posts here in Nairaland, Tinubu's lawyer was not denying that his client ever held a Guinea passport, he is saying since his passport expired, he is no longer a citizen of that country.

And you are RIGHT by asking where is his renunciation?? grin

Ones citizenship is not solely determined by whether they have a passport or not.. there many Nigerians that do not have a passport. That doesn't mean they are not Nigerians.

Olanipeku knows exactly what he is saying.. He is telling that that passport is invalid which turns to the case from pdp into hear say. just like me here now saying u r a Cameroonian.. So it is word of mouth the onus noe falls on me to prove my accusation.
You might have misunderstood Mr. Olanipekun.. he said because Tinubu's Guinea passport have expired, he is no longer their citizen.

Stop hyerventilating. Expired passport means passport is no longer valid.. Every citizenship has documentary proof.. Oya go to ur state liason office in abuja and tell them u r from tge state just by word of mouth if they will not throw u away like dustbin... Bring proof of the citizenship shikena
That's not the way it works.

So if someone's Nigeria passport expires, does that mean they are no longer a Nigerian citizens??

Their is a different process to give up citizenship, it is through renunciation.. somewhat lengthy process depending on the country.

Mr. Wole Olanipekun SAN is just ridiculing himself by that statement..

People let's not be blinded by our political support, the statement by Tinubu's lawyer if admitted by the court can cause chaos in the Nigeria.

Renunciation of citizenship costs money and its lengthy process... so if the court accepts Mr. Olanipekun's submission.. then once anyone's Nigerian passport expired, they can just declare they are no longer a Nigerian citizen..

Reading through the written address of Tinubu and Shettima lawyers at the ongoing election petition tribunal led by supposed respected senior lawyer Wole Olanipekun, one can’t help but giggle at the hollowness and shallowness of their defense.

In the address, Mr Olanipekun was busy citing the case of Shagari vs Awolowo that happened as far back as 1979 under the 1979 Constitution and in election conducted by FEDECO, as our electoral commission was called then.

Since 1979, we’ve have had many reformations to our electoral laws and have even changed our constitution.

If anything, the most relevant case as far as election cases are concerned in Nigeria today, is the Supreme Court ruling in Osun in case of Oyetola vs Adeleke. This case is the most relevant because it is the only Supreme Court decision since the Electoral Act 2022 came into force.

Ironically, Mr Olanipekun surreptitiously ignored the Osun case which has a lot of similarities with the case at PEPT as they both bother on the place of technology in our election and to what degree INEC can choose to apply or ignore technology in our elections.

It is pertinent to state these things for the world to hear, read and see, so that we all keep an eye on the judiciary and see what comes out it.

Remember that it is not enough to do justice, justice must also be seen to have been done.
When Mr. Wole was announced as Tinubu's lead counsel, many people were celebrating saying Peter Obi is in trouble.

While Mr. Wole Olanipekun SAN is a legal luminary in his right.. some cases are difficult to defend..

There's is no trial lawyer with the amount of caseload this senior chambers handle that have never lost a case before.

If someone is caught in someone's house with their hands in the neighbors pot of soup. even 20 Respected SANs will have a hard time with the case trying to find a loop hole in the case.

With Tinubu's case, it's a bit difficult even with the rotten nature of our judiciary..

Now people have there eyes wide open.. the suffering is too much and there weren't many Ghana must go bag that went around during the election due to naira scarcity..

And someone mentioned that was probably why they are dragging Emefiele up and down suing him in "Lagos" while he lives in "Abuja".
Politics › Re: Tinubu To PEPT: Nullifying The Election Over 25% FCT Could Cause Anarchy, Chaos by Badgers14: 6:20pm On Jul 16, 2023
Guyman01:
The apprehension in Tinubu's camp is real about the 25% in FCT.
Because there's a supreme court precedent against them

Supreme court in a case they decided I think in 2011 were the ones that interpreted the law like that.

the tribunal being a lower court cannot reverse a supreme court so most likely the tribunal will rule against Tinubu and the onus will rest on the supreme court to either reverse itself or uphold their precedent..

From hindsight, I should have located other families or more reassuring looking people traveling to her destination and paired her with them or at least introduce them so that she can tag along and observe how they navigate there.
While ensuring she had enough data, I didn't check the battery level or ensured the charger is within easy reach in the waist bag with her documents.
More solid arrangement should have been made to cover the stages during the stopover.
Definitely no traveling alone for elderly people especially if it involves stop over.
It's all good Chief, we live - we learn grin

Remember, we learn from events and I do hope other people will learn from this incident as well.

Have you ever tried doing it?

You will find out that the process involved is not so simple & straightforward.

There are some bureaucratic papers and conditions that must be fulfilled by the law to make sure that the phone companies are not making the situation worse by exposing the victim's information.
This is a law enforcement request and not individual request.

Usually law enforcement are giving easier process to follow..

Alright sir. Thanks
Which airport in Egypt?

Last you communicated with her, did she tell you what terminal she was on?

Note to all and myself: whenever you have anyone stranded in a place and maybe their battery is dying or what not.. just tell them to stay in one place maybe a big business like shoprite etc..or a bank or a terminal (if it's an airport) and let you know what terminal that is..

In that way, it is easier to trace them.. now in our situation here.. everyone, even the airline will see the task as voluminous to look around in the airport for her.. but if the search area is narrowed down , it will be easier..

Also, if you can assess the airline here in Nigeria.. I am sure they will have a way to communicate with their counterparts and maybe make announcements in airport and try to find her.


Cheers!!

All this missing people here and there but there are technologies out there, easily accessible to help solve these cases..

What happened to reaching out to her phone company to identify where last her phone pinged and narrow the search..

The phone company can check her last call, last text so give law enforcement some directions..

Why are this things that hard to do??

It still boils down to emefiele in his disposition at the DSS to category state that the president is his accomplice.
Of which it cannot happen.
Because he(emefiele) would be proved to be the mastermind.
This could be the possible reason why the case was thrown out..

There are many deals that happens behind the scene that we don't know..

From the moment he was arrested, I knew he wouldn't be prosecuted.. the new FG wanted to generate a buzz since CBN policies affected many Nigerians.. FG thought people will be clapping for them for nabbing him but the streets are already wise cool

He reports to and follows the order of the president.

I transformed Lagos, I did this in Lagos, I did that in Lagos.

Las Las Naija nor be Lagos.

grin
Remember Lagos was the Capital until Dec 1991 and Tinubu came to power in 1999.. just under 8 years after moving the capital from Lagos to FCT.

So Lagos was still sound in infrastructure (compared to other states in the country)..

So Tinubu built on top of that..

Now the country was in shambles and he took power... country - 36 states have been backwards in the last 8 years..

Compared to lagos that was way ahead of its peers when Tinubu took over as the governor 8 years after the capital was moved from Lagos to FCT.

While I was aggrieved by CBN policy under the former governor...

He was acting under the directive of his boss. The President.

Also, the Senate and House are culpable also in the sense they could have invited him for questioning to understand what's going on but they didnt..

Thr CBN governor is just the man in the middle and there are many people responsible for the plight Nigerians faced at the time..

In my view.. the most blame should go to our legislatures.. the senate and the House of Rep.

Romance › Re: Pastor Who's Married For 14 Years With 3 Kids That Are Not His by Badgers14: 2:39pm On Jul 12, 2023
Assuming the story is real..

Here's my suggestion: call her one on one and ask her..

(But first, what do you intend to achieve by confronting her??)

But before you do this, you need to work on yourself so you don't find yourself in a terrible state mentally.

Just accept the fact that the kids are not yours and obviously she slept with someone else.. then with that taken care of.. the mission is just to find out (whatever you hoped to achieve by asking her) or maybe who the real father is, if they still have anything going on? What's the real father's position on those kids? Does the real father knows the kids are his? Does anyone else either from your family or her family knows about this?

Then atleast you know wetin dey sup...

But keep in mind, you share part of this blame too, this is one of the reasons why couples should be honest with themselves.. if you had told her about this from the get go , at least she knows and she might even suggest this or that but the bottom line is both of you are in it together and everyone was honest about it..

I saw a video one time about a guy that dumped the wife to be on the day of the wedding because he just found out the lady have had a kid before and didn't tell her..

But do you remember Cesc Fabregas? Ok, his current wife is 12 years older than him and already had 2 kids from a previous marriage before getting married to Cesc...

So the difference here was Cesc knew all this and their was honesty (at least on that part grin) in their relationship and they went on to have 3 more kids together.
Family › Re: DNA Reveal My Children Are Not Mine !!! Help by Badgers14: 1:36pm On Jul 12, 2023
Donkogbe:
I have been married for 14 YEARS and 'we' have 3kids(all boys) but none of them belongs to me.

5years before I met my wife, I was involved in a car accident together with two of my friends. We were traveling from Lagos to Abuja and our car skidded off the road.
I was the only survivor of that accident, my friends died. I spent about 11months at the hospital and that left me with a condition that says I can't have children.

I gave my life to Jesus Christ and became a committed Christian after the incident.
In summary I became a pastor in a local church in my community 5years later and met my wife in the process.

I did not tell her about my condition because I was hopeful that God will heal me.

6 years into our marriage, my wife got pregnant and had 'our' first child.
To be sure, I secretly went for a DNA and it was clear I wasn't the father. I repeated the test for all 3 children and they are all not mine.

I have been living with this situation for the past 8 years and I am beginning to get irritated by both the children and my wife.
My wife pretends to be a good wife. She goes around preaching to women in the church about the need to remain faithful to their partners but she has had 3 children by another man or men I don't know.

I want to confront her, but I am confused as to how to go about the situation.
I am just angry and irritated by everyone in my house lately. I feel like a total stranger in my own home.

If you don't have any meaningful things to say, please don't comment

tolue42:
When I tell people that population is one of our biggest problem, people will be looking for excuses


In 1960 Nigeria population was 45million, that same year UK population was 52 million

2023 Nigeria population is above 220 million , that same UK is just above 65 million..

How are we going to live a better life when we are not even productive like the UK..
You have a point tho but Nigerias problem is not over population (in my opinion).

The problem we have is the lack of utilizing our own resources.

Example: Education, the decent nursery, primary, secondary education we have are mostly private schools.

Healthcare: the decent hospitals are privately owned.

We have just inaugurated many new governments in different state including the president and they will soon launch their bills for next year..

Watch the billions and trillions they will quote on those bills for infrastructure, this and that and few months later they will pass another supplementary bill...

Then check in 4 years time how much of those big words item in the bill was accomplished to a standard level or even completed at all.

Have you tried or known someone seeking approval for a building plan? The amount of bureaucracy and corruption in the process is overwhelming and yet, no sort of inspection or oversight in the building process.. the office people just want your money.

Forex: how can a bank tell their customer that wants to pay their foreign supplier or their kids school fees or medical bills abroad to go and buy dollar from Bureau DE change and come and pay into the bank.. the customer goes to BDC and buys dollar N780/ $ from BDC but the same bank will sell the same $ to BDC wayyyyy lower than N780, sometimes N410.

Now look this up, if you are a U.K company buying goods in China or paying your kids school fees in the U.S. do you go to BDC? You simply walk into your bank and transact business with the official exchange rate.. you see how much money you saved in the process??

So in Nigeria, we know our problems, we just don't want to do the right things to get our economy moving.
