Politics › Judge Issued Warning To EFCC Not To Re-arrest Chief Fani-kayode. by BERNIMOORE(op): 9:34am On Nov 16, 2016 |
“On monday November 14th 2016 at the Federal High Court in Lagos, Justice Muslim Hassan lambasted the EFFC and its prosecutor, one Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo, in open court for arresting Chief Femi Fani-Kayode at the Federal High Court premises on 21st October without an arrest warrant and for detaining him illegally without any detention order for 24 days. “This was made all the more damning by the fact that Justice Hassan had previously warned the EFCC not to re-arrest Chief Fani-Kayode who had been previously detained by them for 67 days. “Justice Hassan said this because he had granted Chief Fani-Kayode court bail as far back as July 4th and at the previous court session he had specifically warned and admonished the EFCC not to re-arrest or detain him after his lawyer told the court that that was what they were planning to do. “Justice Hassan told the EFCC that serving charges on an accused person should not warrant arrest and detention and that he himself was once a prosecutor and that was not the way things are meant to be done. “When Oyedepo attempted to lie to the court and feign ignorance of the re- arrest and detention of Chief Fani-Kayode and when he tried to proffer a shameless and disgraceful justification for it after he was forced to admit that it happened, Justice Hassan advised him to stop trying to defend the indefensible and advised him to tender his apologies to the court for the illegal behaviour of the EFCC. “Oyedepo took the advice and he promptly apologised.

DropShot: I just finished reading that report and NOWHERE in it, it was stated the Appeal Court will deliver judgement in one week or before election. The only specific directive from the panel is for Jegede team to serve all respondents in the appeal within three days of its decision.
As it is, judgement may be dispensed before the election but it is not guaranteed. pls, read with an Open Mind and be objective The Court never Ask Jegede's team to serve all respondents in the appeal within three days of its decision,you actually err by misinforming us, but Rather, the Appeal Court Directed that the respondents(jimoh ibrahim) had (3)three days to file their reply'' After they must have receive 'notice of Appeal withing 24hours (between thursday 10th( yesterday) and friday 11th( today)November) So by Next week wednesday latest both the 'notice of appeal' from the plaintiff and 'response to the appeal' should be before the court, while thursday or friday should be for hearing and possible judgement, while the reasons for judgement can be deferred till another day. take it or leave it, read my submission again in the same link you were directed; http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/11/11/ondo-appeal-court-grants-jegedes-application-to-challenge-ibrahims-nomination-2(1) ''The court then gave the respondents(jimoh ibrahim) (3)three days for filing their reply''.

Politics › Segun Akioye Of The Nation Newspaper Could'nt Sustain Lies Against Gej On Weapon by BERNIMOORE(op): 11:15am On Nov 08, 2016 |
It Is Very Clear Now To Everyone Now That There is an agenda to Sustain ''Unproven Propaganda '' To Cover-up the ineffectiveness and failure of this present Administration By deceiving Nigerian with Lies. Gej lay claims to buying New functional Artillery weapons including Aircrafts, But to our total dismay one Seun Akioye who works for Tinubu's The Nation Newspaper's job is to sustain falsehood against Gej With Anonymous Sources knowing fully well that his story would sell to lazy nigerians who doesnt care about authentic sources of information but would rather feed on anything to 'quench their itchy-Ears And mind' by Seun Akioye,
Military sources yesterday rejected former President Goodluck Jonathan’s claim that his administration bought warships and aircraft.
The former president, who spoke at a lecture he delivered on “Youth Entrepreneurship” at the Oxford Union in the United Kingdom (UK), tried to exonerate former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki of corruption allegations involving $2.2 billion voted for arms procurement.
Jonathan said he did not believe the former NSA stole the money because weapons were bought for the military to fight Boko Haram.
Jonathan said: “I don’t believe somebody can just steal $2.2 billion; we bought warships, we bought aircraft, we bought lots of weapons for the army and so on and so forth and you are still saying 2.2billion, so where did we get the money to buy all those things?”
Independent checks by The Nation revealed that the former President might have been deceived by his officials on the type of weapons that were bought for the military.
According to several military sources who asked to remain anonymous because of the “sensitivity” of the matter, many of the weapons bought under the former president were “unserviceable and useless”.
One said the Jonathan administration bought at least three fairly used (Tokunbo) Alpha Jets for the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and two helicopters. But the jets were , the sources claimed, “not worth anything because they were not weaponised and the helicopters were cannibalised.”
NAF recently reconfigured two demilitarised Alpha jets in its inventory. According to the NAF website, the jets were bought from the United States in 2015 to help in the fight against Boko Haram.
“The two aircraft are among the four Alpha Jets bought from the United States in 2015 by the immediate past administration to enhance the operational capability of the NAF to combat Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast.
“The aircraft, however, before now, could not be deployed in the theatre of operation due to the inherent weapon delivery deficiency, hence its limited use for training purposes. The urgent need in recent times to commit all NAF available platforms to OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE to enhance the success of the counter insurgency operation necessitated the Service to look inward to seek ways of achieving its drive for self reliance through research and development.
“ A number of vendors invited to Nigeria to assess the platforms had concluded that it would be difûcult or almost impossible to undertake the project since the Original Equipment Manufacturer had long closed down the production line. A few others who agreed to the possibility of having the aircraft reconfigured to carry munitions have also submitted proposals for initial assessment fee ranging from $20,000 – $30,000 before they could come up with the actual cost for the project.
Convinced that the project would work, the NAF consequently assembled a team of technicians to develop a feasible model for the project. The model worked on ground, and has since been mounted on the Alpha Jets, and test fown successfully. This feat is a major research and development breakthrough for the NAF and the nation as a huge foreign exchange saver, given that the project only cost about N4,000,000.00 compared to what would be required to have it done abroad,” NAF said.
However, the former President may have been referring to the purchase of six decommissioned Norwegian battleships, bought purportedly on behalf of the Navy by former Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.
The purchase had caused a huge row in Norway forcing that country’s military leadership to apologize to the lawmakers. The battleships were said to be used for anti-piracy operations on Nigerian waters. The Director of Information, Nigerian Navy, Commodore Christian Ezekobe, did not respond to our correspondent’s questions on the whereabouts of the battleships.
However a search on the Navy website revealed that the service has 24 battle ships purchased over several years while it still awaits one battleship built in China, NNS Unity.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is seeking to add an additional C295W military aircraft to its fleet as the battle against Boko Haram reaches an advance stage. NAF has been crucial to the recent victories recorded by the military in the Northeast, through series of sustained aerial bombardment of camps and locations of Boko Haram militants.
The aircraft is to be purchased from Airbus Defence and Space Company (Spain), which had earlier in the year made proposals to the NAF.
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, had played host to Spanish Ambassador to Nigeria, Alfonso Barnuevo Sebastian De Erice, who led two executives of Airbus Defence and Space Company to the NAF Headquarters and held discussions on the company’s proposal to sell the C295W military aircraft to the NAF.
According to NAF, based on its operational capabilities, the aircraft was considered suitable to meet some of its operational needs, including Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and airlift operations.
The air force has also recommended the aircraft for acquisition and provisions have been made for this in the 2017 budget proposal.
The CAS urged the visiting team to start looking into training areas for NAF pilots and technicians on the aircraft.
This, he said, is with a view to ensuring a smooth take-off for the operation of the aircraft in the event of its approval by the Federal Government.
http://thenationonlineng.net/2-2b-arms-cash-military-rejects-jonathans-claim/ Now The Truth is Coming Out just a week after he posted this from unverified anonymous sourcesSo how did we achieve the initial upper hand, cutting down Boko Haram down and capturing territories from the terrorists? The upper hand started in February 2015 due to the arrival of T-72 tanks in the theatre. Chadian troops also assisted in mounting pressure on Boko Haram terrorists at the same time. This resulted in Boko Haram splitting their forces to several places at the same time.
[b]So how did we lose the plot?
Recall that there were mercenaries that fought with Nigerian Army troops in the first and second quarters of 2015.
Yes
Boko Haram seems to have good strategist who study our modus operandi and cause them to adjust accordingly. The Nigerian military may need to reappraise its approach to counter insurgency operations.
Those mercenaries really assisted us and their withdrawal signalled the gradual regrouping of Boko Haram terrorists. This is because their withdrawal was sudden and not in phases.
But why was their withdrawal sudden?
The new government terminated their contract.
What did the mercenaries bring to the table that our troops lack?
They came with armoured fighting equipment. Above all, they had night fighting capabilities.So how did we achieve the initial upper hand, cutting down Boko Haram down and capturing territories from the terrorists? |

docadams: This thread has shown the shallowness of many in Nigerian politics. Since I started following politics (circa 1979), I am not aware of any occasion where a president had to exercise his veto power. But if ever there was, I doubt if any NASS succeeded in overturning such presidential veto. No arm of govt wants to get into such murky waters. But if it does get there, the executive holds the upper hand via party allegiance, ethnic and religious favours, lobbying, and blackmail. Bolded are you saying That your Experience should be a yardstick? Hear yourself o: ''the executive holds the upper hand via party allegiance, ethnic and religious favours, lobbying, and blackmail''where were all these powers when Saraki had 84 out of 109 more than 2/3rd of senate passing vote of confidence on saraki? http://dailypost.ng/2015/09/29/84-senators-pass-confidence-vote-on-saraki even whn they cannot appear each senator hired a SAN for saraki!

While admitting that your are still immature, please always ensure that you reply someone who ask your any question with a simple and straight-forward, and verifiable answer.
In Section 318(1) of the said constitution, it becomes crystal clear, upon a careful reading of the said Interpretation Section, that even persons whose educational qualifications are below the Secondary School Leaving Certificate/level and its equivalent are still qualified to contest election, if they possess the Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent along with the other requirements listed under the said definition Section (Section 318(1)).
For the avoidance of doubt, Section 318(1) provides:
“School Certificate or its equivalent” means -
(a) A Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or
(b) Education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and-
(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year, and
