Ahayalift: There are very good aspects of Sharia Law actually. Look at the ways many of our girls walk half-naked, they always cover well in the North because they know there is Sharia there. I'm not saying it should be introduced, I'm just saying we Christians have a lot to learn from Islam. I know the general narrative, but I tell you what I know many Muslims are far much more kindhearted than most Christians, I'm talking from personal discovery over Years of my experience. See: https://www.nairaland.com/8599625/music-alert-let-greatness-manifest
The best test to know a kind hearted individual is to offend such person and not one whom one knows can't do anything but that one whom you know can undo the offender..... That's the best test .
Sharia no be only for dressing Have you heard the other penalities of Sharia been given to those rich people who fault such laws ?
emkz: ADC ought to know that once Obidients entered, they'd control the narrative. What they ought to have done is ensure everyone signed an undertaking to respect the outcome of the primaries.
My suggestion to ADC is to do their primaries after all parties, probably two days to submitting names to INEC. That way, those who'd decamp after losing in the primaries can no longer do so, or they'd decamp before then.
The Obidients are fanatical about their ignorance that Obi cannot defeat Atiku to secure ADC ticket. The best way to manage them is to declare open primaries to test the popularity.
Yes, Option A4 is the best for the ADC to check popularity and they should not engage in financial inducement.
Well, while we wait for the FG to respond to this allegation......!!!
Why don't Mallam El Rufai kindly make available a spiral binded copy of this more than 15 months 100 billion naira monthly dedication and let Nigerians read for themselves how it all started.....
Even those who came out with the falsified gazetted laws have not shown Nigerians the areas the falsification was imputed......
The questions sensible people would ask themselves is who is there in the North that PBAT will choose as a replacement for VP Shettima if he intends to get the whole support of a great majority of the North assuming that replacement is even possible?
What is the electoral value of that person compared to Shettima and is the person an asset or liability to PBAT when it comes to the re-election?
OlujobaSamuel: Yes, according to the report, he defaulted in 1999, but cleared it all in 2001
No, you're mistaken in your interpretation. That loan facility given to him in 1990 was open to him to use till 1999, which he would no longer have access to it. That's why the report says it expired in August 1999 meaning he no longer has access to that loan facility for that amount of which he has fully completed the repayment as at 2001 and the facility liquidated. That means he is no longer indebted to the bank.
I'll also add that even if a customer defaults in repayment and the bank still goes and deduct from that account and still holds on to the collateral, then its a criminal offence.
Note that loans are taken from source once money enters the individuals' account and not necessarily the individual coming to pay directly that loan.
michlins: This ban shouldn't even be questioned at all. We must place emphasis on our younger generation more than our present needs of few people. The health condition of the present adults is also very important.
Alcohol should be taxed at 40% also. If you must want to drink alcohol, you should be ready and willing to pay for it
Do you really think that has brought any solution to the already existing problems, troubles, worries and fears!!!!!!
Do you know those who are addicted on cheap drugs, the lengths and breaths of stealing/robbery,etc,etc, they undertake in order to buy these substances that can alter their destinies for worse?
reddingtonblack: I might be byiers tho buh i dont consider myself a Fubara supporter i just believe any side against godfatherism is on democracy
To the issue, i dont see how Fubara betrayed his supporters Highiest he did was CAUTION his fan to stop making statements easy to misconstrue as inciting the other camp, he wanted the tension n heat to cool down thats All
The chief Judge is human 1st, we always fall to one side its just how we admit it ..
I am saying for a chief Judge that already decline to accept the " request" even if supreme court force him to proceed what do you think he will do ... misconduct is subject to his interpretation
lastly A chief judge is at the peak of her career you can threatening such person with demotion, nothing more except debit & credit alert
A true career person is different from a politician or any other.
I hope you remember what happened to CJN Walter Onnoghen!!!!!
It's never good to mix politics and careers, especially when you're at such peak in the legal profession.
Vadese1: If the information is true. Kudos to the able governor for doing the right thing. Anything associated to the obiokpo emperor wike. must be discarded
That was how Wike began and he was applauded for fighting Gov. Amaechi and everyone associated to with till Wike is now fighting those who once applauded him.
Kudos to you and your likes. When this tabke turn i hope you'll praise the next one.
ogaemma: No matter what, she should have known such behavior is against the ethics of her profession. No sentiment and no emotions. You must abide by the ethics.
....and you're probably one of those against godfatherism in Nigerian politics!!!!!!
Do you not know that the one who comes through the processes of godfatherism has to honor the terms of that agreement which is their own trade of ethics or probably you don't reason it that way before making up your statement ad posting same?
In this modern day and age Trump is ensuring he makes slave out of would be weak European nations and we have some Nigerians who agree with him and this same people are shouting against godfatherism in Nigeria...... Such manner of thinking is very skewed.
AwkaFinest: How many civil servants got such promotion? He promised him because he wants him to do his dirty deeds. Tell me who in the ministry of finance was promoted like that?
Therefore to whom much is given,a greater much is expected.
dederocs: Courts can intervene in anything, if it feels it's not following rule of law!
When you have Nigeria as a country such nonsense happens. It's only in Rivers State that the Court placed a perpetual injunction on a corruption case against a former governor and all others have been hiding under such... Till quarrel started and we heard the lid was removed or said to be.!!¡
press9jatv: Can a Court stop the impeachment of Governor Fubara?
The ongoing impeachment moves against Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State have once again brought to the fore a recurring constitutional question in Nigeria’s democratic practice: Can the courts stop an impeachment process once the House of Assembly has invited the Chief Judge to constitute a panel to investigate allegations against a governor?
The simple answer is yes.
Impeachment in Nigeria is a constitutional process governed strictly by Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). While it is often described as a political tool in the hands of legislators, the law is settled that impeachment is not beyond judicial scrutiny. What courts may not interrogate are the political reasons for impeachment; what they can and do examine is whether the procedure laid down by the Constitution has been faithfully followed.
Under Section 188, impeachment follows a sequence: a notice of allegation signed by not less than one-third of the members of the House, service of the notice on the governor, a resolution supported by two-thirds of members, and a request to the Chief Judge to constitute a seven-man panel to investigate the allegations. Only after the panel submits its report can the House take the final step of removal.
Once the House writes to the Chief Judge to set up a panel, the process has certainly advanced. However, it has not crossed the point of no return.
Nigerian courts have consistently held that they can intervene at any stage of impeachment proceedings where there is evidence of constitutional breach. This position was firmly established in landmark cases such as Inakoju v. Adeleke and Dapialong v. Dariye. The courts made it clear that while impeachment is political in nature, compliance with constitutional procedure is a legal obligation enforceable by the judiciary.
Therefore, a court order can lawfully stop impeachment proceedings, even after the request to the Chief Judge, if certain conditions exist. These include situations where the House of Assembly is not properly constituted, where there is no valid quorum, where lawmakers involved are themselves under legal dispute, or where the steps taken violate the clear provisions of Section 188. Similarly, denial of fair hearing, rushed timelines, or actions driven by bad faith can attract judicial intervention.
In such cases, courts may issue restraining orders, injunctions, or orders maintaining the status quo. These orders may prevent the Chief Judge from constituting a panel or halt the panel from continuing its work. Contrary to popular opinion, this does not amount to judicial interference in legislative affairs; rather, it is the enforcement of constitutional supremacy.
However, it must also be stated clearly that courts are generally reluctant to interfere with impeachment where due process is strictly followed. If the House of Assembly is lawfully constituted, the required numbers are met, and every procedural step is complied with, the judiciary will likely allow the process to run its course.
Applied to the Rivers State situation, the decisive factor is not the political tension or the personalities involved, but the legality of the process. If Governor Fubara can demonstrate that the House’s actions are constitutionally defective, illegitimate, procedurally flawed, or done in bad faith, the courts are empowered to intervene. If not, the impeachment process may proceed unhindered.
This distinction is critical for Nigeria’s democracy. Allowing courts to enforce due process prevents impeachment from becoming a tool of vendetta or political ambush.
In the final analysis, impeachment is neither above the law nor immune from abuse. The Constitution remains the ultimate referee, and the courts remain its faithful guardians. Whether the impeachment of Governor Fubara proceeds or stalls will depend, not on political noise, but on strict adherence to constitutional discipline.
That, ultimately, is the true test of democratic maturity.

In all that you have written what is that requirement that has not been met that gives the Court that legal right to place an injunction or that the injunction should remain?
Arostar2023: I don't know what you are arguing about...We earlier were arguing about race, now you are talking about nationalities. A black in Europe and USA is still a black. If you guys get your politics right, create the enabling environment and invest in science, you guys can have good scientific breakthroughs to boast about.
AwkaFinest: Good question. Fubara got to that post by appointment, not actual promotion. Wike needed him to handle finances while he's governor. Besides his political cronies show me 1 civil servant in Rivers State that got promotion while Wike was governor?
Do you know what level in civil service Fubara was when Wike was State governor and at what time did Wike make that appointment?
Arostar2023: I disagree with you. Giving the right opportunities blacks would achieve as much as other races in terms of scientific and any other breakthroughs.
Liveair: What proof do you need that is not already documented in History books and ancient manuscripts in Libraries? Like I said, seek knowledge, then you'll know.
What have those proof documented in history and ancient manuscript in libraieis done for and in Africa if Africa is still referred to as developing nations and third world countries?
The one who first saw civilization is the one seeking relevance and validation from the one who was later civilized years after them!!!!!
richmond500: Odili, Mbata, Goodluck and every chairman he appointed in PDP and later said he didn't want them.
He used Rivers state and dumped them, he used PDP and dumped them too
Do you know how much in momentary gains ans contracts all these persons have benefited from his benevolence and generosity when he occupied government positions and more when they were eating with him?
Do you know where Odili was when Amaechi was State governor of Rivers State?
Do you know what Wike as a Minister recommended by Gov. Amaechi did for Goodluck when he fought Gov. Amaechi in Rivers State?
Do you know what Gov. Wike did for Goodluck and Rivers State people when as a State governor he fought Minister Amaechi in Rivers State?
I am even surprised in all this talk, you an your likes have refused to menrion that Wike used Amaechi and dumped him as well!??!!!
Fiscus105: Abi oooo, u must hear every behind the scenes, you are far from reality. So, many behind the scenes that won't be heard, but manifestations would be seen at play.
Anyway, you cannot reason beyond your intelligence.
Just because something is written on a paper doesn't make it a true story.
Even international media outlets dey report here say and unverified news till they apologize to Trump.
And all the PDP politicians who raised him from LGA chairman to minister and governor

2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
richiemcgold: Fubara does not need the full backing of the whole house, he only needs a certain percentage. This should not be too difficult for a serving governor.
Well, in this situation it takes more than money......
