Single terns are better. They will be more aggressive with any reform knowing they don't have to worry about campaign. If they evil then it all about looting. Even if that's the case they are gone in 6 years instead of 8.

Basically, before a state can be created, not only will a referendum be held, all 36 States house of Assembly in Nigeria will vote on it, a majority will need to be obtained, after which a two thirds majority vote needs to be obtained in the Senate as well as the 360 federal House of rep. Something similar has to be done to create Region's

Mission impossible. If you think any Region, or state, will be created in Nigeria, stop dreaming

This is why I said it's best to redraw borders constitutionally if the goal is to reunite coethnics together. It takes less national consensus.

Chapter 1 part 2 section 8-2

Delivering judgement on Friday, Simon Amobeda ordered the state government to pay N10 million in damages to Mr Ado-Bayero for violating his rights after deposing him and replacing him with Lamido Sanusi last month.

It's sad these judgements don't come out of the governors or police pensions. That would be a real deterrents.

the order given by Governor Yusuf directing the police to arrest Mr Ado-Bayero without any lawful justification as threatening the applicant's fundamental rights.

The Kano government is filled with foolish tyrants. The last administration tried to banish Banish Sanusi over the throne. These guys certainly don't respect the rights of their citizens. When state police come in effect they will have to address that fact.

The court ordered the state government to pay N10 million in damages to Mr Ado-Bayero for violating his rights after deposing him and replacing him with Lamido Sanusi last month.

The Federal High Court in Kano has barred the Kano State Government, the police and other security agencies from arresting the 15th Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado-Bayero.

Delivering judgement on Friday, Simon Amobeda ordered the state government to pay N10 million in damages to Mr Ado-Bayero for violating his rights after deposing him and replacing him with Lamido Sanusi last month.

However, the judge refrained from making any pronouncement on the tussle between Mr Ado-Bayero and Mr Sanusi over the emirship stool.

Mr Ado-Bayero and Mr Sanusi had asserted claims to the position and acted as such from two different palaces. However, the suit, which the court decided on Friday, was solely about alleged violation of Mr Ado-Bayero's rights.

Governor Yusuf deposed Mr Ado-Bayero last month after signing a law reversing the splitting of the Kano emirate into five splinters by the former administration in the state.

Implementing the law last month, the governor reinstated Lamido Sanusi as the sole Emir of Kano. Mr Sanusi was dethroned in March 2020 and replaced with Aminu Ado Bayero by the former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje administration.

Mr Ado-Bayero, through his counsel M. L Yusufari, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), subsequently filed a suit dated 27 May, seeking the court to restrain the state government from arresting, intimidating or infringing on his rights.

The other respondents are the Attorney General of the Federation, Attorney General Kano, Nigeria Police, Inspector General of Police, Commissioner of Police Kano, State Security Service (NSCDC), Nigeria Army, Nigerian Navy and Nigerian Airforce.

'Illegal order of arrest'

Mr Amobeda described, in his judgement, the order given by Governor Yusuf directing the police to arrest Mr Ado-Bayero without any lawful justification as threatening the applicant's fundamental rights.

The judge held that the governor's order violated Mr Ado-Bayero's rights guaranteed under Section 35(1) of the Nigerian constitution.

"The act of the governor has forced the applicant into house arrest, preventing him from going freely about his lawful business, constitutes a flagrant violation of his fundamental right to freedom of movement as guaranteed under Section 41(1) of the 1999 Constitution," he held.

He restrained the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respondents by themselves, their agents, servants, privies, or any other person from arresting, detaining, threatening, intimidating and harassing the applicant or further interfering with the applicant's fundamental rights.

"The prayer for the cost of filing and prosecuting this suit is refused, the amount having not been specifically pleaded and strictly proved," Mr Amobeda said.

Jurisdiction argument

One of the applicant's lawyers, Michael Jonathan, also a SAN, had argued that the court had jurisdiction to entertain and hear the case as it is a fundamental rights suit.

Mr Jonathan urged the court to dismiss the respondents' preliminary objection for being unmeritorious and constituting an abuse of court process.

But the counsel for the Kano State Attorney-General, Mahmoud Abubakar-Magaji, a SAN, urged the court to dismiss and strike out the entire process, particularly the originating summons of the applicant motion on Kano Emirate Council (Repeal) Law 2024 and fundamental right.

He argued that the court had no jurisdiction to entertain the case and urged the court to set aside the ex parte order it earlier granted restraining the respondents from arresting, intimidating or harassing the applicant.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the State House of Assembly dissolved on 23 May all the four newly created emirate councils in the state.

NAN reports that Governor Yusuf dethroned Mr Ado-Bayero and reappointed Mr Sanusi as the Emir of Kano on May 23. This came four years after former Governor Abdullahi Ganduje dethroned Mr Sanusi.

Lol he still got two terms. It shows people don't care 🤷🏿 how incompetent you are if they think the alternative is worse.

They should opt to jail heads of departments. Once their necks are on the line they will sacm people, demand higher taxes and or make budget cuts. Fine would probably work just aswell if they recuse to pay jail follows.

Brendaniel:
All prisons in Nigeria are controlled by the FG regardless of who builds it, you are wrong, you can fact check me...

On the matter of prosecuting matters it is done by the police, you are wrong on this too, please read the entire article below, I would have loved to explain more now but please read the article below first.
https://thenigerialawyer.com/prosecution-of-criminal-cases-by-the-nigeria-police-issues-problems-and-prospects-by-zebedee-arekhandia-esq/

You didn't look up the constitutional amendment from four years ago? Stop living in the past. The prisons aren't in the exclusive lost. You've been debunked.


It seems you've never stepped inside a court room in your life. You're an ignorant guy but you're not a bad guy. I still don't understand how you don't know how your legal system works. You've been debunked again by the Lagos ministry of justice website.

https://lagosstatemoj.org/public-prosecution/#

PS: I'm not going to do the other 35 states. Just look up department of public prosecution in your state and you'll get the same information.

Brendaniel:
That's why I am telling you straight that if the federal takes over a decision that bothers on security matters, the state is powerless, that is the law for you because the states do not control the security agencies, not even the prisons..

The states chooses to hand them over by who?

The same police controlled by the federal, the state cannot arrest without the backing of the police(federal) and for prosecution it is still the police that does that for the state, so whatever advise they give the state is what they follow.

As it stands no state has the power without the police(federal) to arrest and prosecute...

States do control prisons they own. They don't own federal prisons. Nobody is stopping them from building their own. The states handed them over to the federal government to prosecute. Again it's also debatable whether they can legislate bail requirements since prisons are in the concurrent list.

The police don't prosecute cases. Lawyers from the ministry of justice prosecute cases. The police supply evidence for prosecution. The only fact you have correct is the police arrest suspects.

Brendaniel:
You are so funny, who controls the police that arrests and prosecutes?

You're shifting the goal post now. The police are federal agents. The states and federal government lawyers both prosecute. States prosecutors try criminals everyday. Most criminals are state law offenders. This means the police already bring these criminals to the state. The state chooses to hand them over as you've read.

Brendaniel:
Does the present government of Nigeria follow rule of law?

If not why did the army arrest the king of Okuama when that was the job of the police to do?

Ok so you don't know the rule you're citing? It seems you're unable or unwilling to answer the question. I will just assume the state can just prosecute and jail them under the current laws until someone presents evidence to the contrary. The FG isn't going to break criminals out of prison or say the state can't prosecute them. Lol that make too obvious they work hand snd glove with them. They follow rule of law when it benefits them.

Brendaniel:
If the army or federal security agencies requests for the terrorists they have no choice, terrorism is a national security matter, if the federal ended up releasing them, then that should tell you a lot about this present federal government...

Is there a law on the books stating so? Cite the law if you know it. If you dont know the specifics admit to it. If there isn't a law, tell then to pound sound while you try them then hang them.

Lol that's your fault mumus. You don't have to hand them over to the FG. You can prosecute them in the state courts. You can and should build state prisons. If they're guilty murder give them a death sentence.

PS: is there any laws stopping states from making their own bail laws 🤔 now?

Lol you guys want to compete with free labor.they wildfire you guys in heartbeat and hire them. You're asking 100k and they have these guys available to do alotof hard jobs.

Lol I'm betting the FG Will lose. The Supreme Court will have to legislate from the bench.

juswilpo:
And increase the living wage of civil servants to discourage corruption.

They're not corrupt because their poor they're corrupt because they're evil opportunist. More money won't solve their character flaws.

Lol I doubt he'll do that in his first term. The guy wants to he re-elected like every power hungry politician. They should get their wish and see what happens when you ask forbthe moon. Maybe them people will stop lying labor dues and let these groups die.

Chicagograduate:
Some states only source of revenue is through federal goverment. Even if the governors of those states pay themselves minimum wages, there is not enough money to go around. Even if the Senators, Reps , and local goverment decide to pay themselves mimimum wage , the money will still not be enought.

Ok so what percentage of the work force are they going to lay off? If that's not an option are they going to start raising taxes? Maybe they'll do what they always 🤷🏿 do and just ignore the minimum wage laws. Ask yourself does the FG ever enforce it on states to begin with. Then ask why if they answer is no.

Anioma state is the new hot topic. I always wonder why people opt to create new states instead of joining existing states. The SE having another state would be interesting but the same issues apply. The allocation for every other state will shrink with every new state that comes into existence.

immortalcrown:
I have sincere questions.
3.
Why is this post about only the woman? What has NYSC done to the man that did the something with her?

Lol it's the Bible story. The woman was caught in the act of adultery but only she was brought to Jesus to be punished. It's never explicitly stated what they did with the man.

Lol local government officials are the only ones without constitutional immunity. These guys have to consider being jailed during their term in office.

nigeriansamurai:
Oga chill I'm on the same page with you... There's no need to argue the origin of Boko Haram members.
Every well informed person knows that some GSPC funders and fighters migrated to Boko Haram.

What arw we on the same page on? Just post the evidence if you have. Why do you guys find it so hard? What are we on the same page on? You're free to your opinions not facts. If you have no evidence simply admit it.

dragunov:
Well, you no what? Screw you!! Screw you and your smug comments. If you need evidence, take a peek up your rectum. You'd find enough there. Such an unintelligent bird trying to feel smart. Silly distractor. We are talking about an ethnic group taking lives at will and you're here yapping about whether they are foreigners or not as if that's going to change the facts on ground. Oga, park well . I will not grace your infantile views with any response again.

You've proven you're just clown 🤡 running his mouth. When you're challenged to present evidence you start rambling like a mumu. You weirdos could just state your opinions and leave it at that but that's not enough for you. I present my evidence when challenged, but you halfwits can't, but you guys wanted to debate. Now that you're exposed, you want to change the subject. Please dont quote me again with your foolishness. Remember you quoted me first clown.

Sapasenator:
Ok. I will try to enlist when next in the country, will let you know how it goes

Good best of luck to you gallant one.

dragunov:
I knew you'd say that. Asking for evidence in the face of evidence. What's your problem if we say foreign Fulanis are involved? What exactly are you trying to achieve by stating that they are not?

My problem you're another clown running his mouth without evidence. If you want to argue facts post your evidence instead lying 🤥. You're foolish if you want to make baseless speculations and expect people to believe without question or evidence. Do you have proof or are just a clown running his mouth? If this just an opinion ok say that and move on.

dragunov:
Fulani from Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger etc don't see themselves as different. They all have the same culture and way of life. It is true that Buhari brought in thousands of Fulani from those listed countries into Nigeria in readiness to destabilize Nigeria in the eventuality that he lost the 2015 election to Jonathan. It is true that throughout his tenure, thousands of Fulani were illegally brought into the country through Dangote trucks to replace the indigenous peoples killed and displaced by these killer herdsmen. The evidence is empirically verifiable unless you don't stay in Nigeria. There are still thousands of them in hibernation in the forests of Nigeria, all armed to the teeth. But they will all fail as Tinubu is not Buhari.

nigeriansamurai:
Many BH members are northern resident, some are from GSPC and Niger. But the fact is dey didn't come to Nigeria on their own it was our people that brought them here to kill us

Stop rambling and post the evidence. I've asked everyone to put up or shut. All of you guys are good at making baseless speculations but turn pussy when asked to post your evidence. You had hundreds of opportunities to reveal them. The media has interviewed bandits and they haven't reported any proof.

Ikpunekenwa:
If I can remember well, the police is part of the government right?

Before an information is made public, it has to pass through some tables right, and this government plays a major role in what information we get?

OK, isn't this same government told us that they have repaired our relationship with UAE, to come back after some hours that it was not true?

OK, na still this government's two ministers that had roles about how this government information is transmitted had conflicting information?

This is same government you are extrapolating your proof from, nawa ooo, you are very very very slow.

You're mumu if you don't know there's only sources you can use as proof. I'm still waiting on you clowns to out proof on the table but you pussies are running scared 😱. Are these foreign bandits your cousins that you know they're foreign. Where are they from, what are their names, have you captured any? You had hundreds of opportunities to reveal them. The media has interviewed bandits and they haven't reported any proof. You're too dull for this debate go back to the kids table.

SoNature:
My biggest concern about leaving this country is starting a generation that will never return to their country ever again.

It happens all the time. If you don't get your kids to visit in their formative years to meet their relatives they won't care about Nigeria. Nigeria will be where you're from not them especially if they gain citizenship where you move.

Sapasenator:
To be frank, I will given the right circumstances. Lets look at it this way, lots of boys who were drafted in the US would not have signed on voluntarily and they went on to become successful soldiers. I may not join if I have other alternatives but with a draft, there'll be more people joining and I will most likely be motivated to join.
It is our country we are talking about. Were is your patriotism?

I'm not manipulated by patriotism. I have no interest in joining the military. Lol you're not interested in joining the military full stop. You have the opportunity today but you're waiting on a letter forcing you like you there's no possibility you'll age out of the draft. The same government could allow farmers to buy guns to protect themselves. I told you the farmers crisis will end in 5 years with state policing and banning open grazing.

It's funny you only tell half the story about the US draft knowing the country runs a voluntary military. After the loss I'm Vietnam and Constant protest, and they stopped drafting military because it's wasn't effective. Note that the selective service system exists, but that hasn't been activated.

Sapasenator:
You are in the wrong thread buddy, the topic is about a possible, compulsory draft laws being enacted by the government. You may want to post your question on a topic involving voluntary enlistment into the Nigerian Army.

Then answer is no you won't join the military unless you're forced to. That's pretty weird considering you said something must be done to protect farmers. Why not head to to nearest recruitment office and serve your nation?

Sapasenator:
we cannot allow few individuals to hold the country hostage. I also think NYSC should be scrapped as it has outlived it's usefulness. All those cult boys should be given weapons and sent to battle ground

Sapasenator:
Have I been drafted yet? Did you see the topic of discussion?

I didn't ask you about conscription. I asked if you joined the military 🪖. A nation draft doesn't have to occure b4 you do so.

Streetinvestor2:
It is not criminal because we are operating a federal system.

And in usa the states have different minimum wage.

How is it not illegal if the miminum wage is in the exclusive Legislative List?

USA state can't go below the federal miminum wage. The can equal or above it.
