We need rugged individuals who don't avoid conflict at all cost for harmony. Nigerian boot licking culture is the problem. There's no set of laws that will fix these sort of beta males. Nigerians will need to raise their children better. Look at the lazy spineless yes men that occupy the state legislatures who won't do anything to counter executive overreach when the have the power.

The Supreme Court essentially placed the ball i n the legislatures court when they said Buhari's executive order 10 was unconstitutional. If Buhari was strategic then he could just repackage that executive order as an executive bill. If they dont just use the bully pulpit to shame them and explain the issue to the ignorant public.

“When you pass a private bill such as this, governors would not likely give assent to the bill. This is the complaint we always receive from our colleagues in other states.

“For instance, the current assembly in Borno has passed about 25 bills, 20 are executive bills while five are private bills. But, only the 20 executive bills have been assented by the governor even as he promised to assent to the remaining five. We also have problems vetoing bills in order to avoid fracas with the executives.”

Obj should talk less and act more,he should also choose his words wisely so as not to cause violence.He should give advise on how Nigeria can move forward

Lol its always best to read before commenting. What part of his statement is encouraging violence?

“There would be some time you would be asked have to do something, but you would say no, this is not right. And when you say that you will become a rebel."

“Our country, Nigeria, needs more of rebels. Those who would look at things straight in the face and say ‘this is not right’, ‘this, I will not be part of’, ‘this is not good for Nigeria.”

Before she started living with me, it was my mother who told her parents that she could stay with me, without my knowledge or permission.

Nigerian parents need to respect boundaries. You can't volunteer things that aren't yours.

Nairalanders please, How do I talk to her about dressing decently, without her feeling insecured or impression of a pervert.

She's staying in your house so put your foot down by setting ground rules. If she doesn't like it she can find new place to stay. Just say "while you're inside the house I'd prefer you dress this way from now on because it's more appropriate". When she steps out the house that's her business. Anyway a few questions by her might expose your perversion but whatever.

This is why there should be civil service exams before hiring. There's no need to pretend this is shocking information when most of you refuse to send your kids to public school. The government would get similar results if they conducted this test on the rest of civil servants.

Listening to these entitled weirdos makes my head spin. They feel they're more important than everyone else because they were born to rule by virtue of being Igbo. When you look into the history of Nigeria you'll see a Hausa never won either since certain people object to hausa and fulani being grouped together. I do agree a secession clause should be drawn up. That's a great idea.

PS: Did AGPA and other parties stop running presidential candidates? Just say you are tired of losing instead of not being given an opportunity.

Some prominent personalities from the Southeastern Nigeria, under the aegis of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum (IECF), have threatened to sanction any Igbo politician who accepts to be running mate to anyone not from the region. 

The Igbo elders said their geo-political zone must produce the next president of Nigeria.

There is an ongoing political tussle over which region should produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023, when Muhammadu Buhari, a Northerner, will be leaving office. 

No southeasterner has been President of Nigeria since the fourth dispensation began in 1999.

The Chairman of the forum and former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, said the region would not accept anything other than to produce the next president of the country. 

According to him, if that does not happen, Igbo people will quit the country. 

He said: “Emboldened by the increasing demand and support by credible and patriotic Nigerians for power to shift to the South in 2023, the Igbo Elders Forum hereby encourages visionary, credible and creative presidential materials of South-East zone to declare their intension for Presidency and pursue it with every sense of seriousness, vigour and commitment.

“We are very serious about this directive. Do not mind those unserious bootlickers who are angling to be running mates to candidates from other parts of the country, as the Igbos will not take it lightly with any of our sons or daughters who accept to be running mates to any person outside the South-East zone in 2023.

"It is either we are allowed to produce the president of this country in 2023 to change the appalling narrative of continued decay, poverty, insecurity, poor governance, corruption and maladministration in Nigeria or out of it. 

"No half measure, as serious sanctions will be visited on any Igbo man or woman that sabotages this noble and patriotic decision of our people to provide for Nigeria a credible, visionary and creative president.

"Legally, morally, and strategically, it is the turn of the South-East to produce the next president of the country as the other zones have been given the opportunity to serve this country in that capacity.”

According to Ezeife, apart from the need for equity, justice and fairness, it is also to change the narrative of Nigeria. 

Some other Igbo elders present at the briefing were the former Minister of Education, Prof. S. C Madubuike; Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo (FCT chapter), Dr Nkonye Kingsley; His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ibe Nwosu.

Simple question is who has more in party approval? I would need to see polling to know. Personally I dont think Aregbesola's opinion matters that much. If the current Governor is doing a decent job he should wether any primary threat.

darkstar6971:
Guyss pls I really need advice. Is she manipulating me or is this love?

Lol if you run back to her you're truly a fool. She did not visit, call or send commissary yet you're asking us stupid questions. Lol did your other friends visit?

Ejiakusmith:
but honestly I don't understand ,,, tho maybe because of my ignorant ,,, why he said they shouldn't use Generic email

1. Generic emails are not secure
2. Government can actively monitor Generic email.
3. Generic emails are not professional

Masculino:
This may sound good, but don't forget it's just an executive pronouncement yet, let the legislature investigate it's merit and demerit first, then pass their judgement before it can become a law that should be enforced, that's how civilized society works.

The executive doesn't need their permission in directing agencies. The legislature job is oversight, law making and passing budgets. An executive order by Buhari is enough to get this done.

Good move make them migrate immediately to government issued email accounts you control. At least they'll know you can spy on them much easier. You won't need warrant or nothing of the sort because its belongs to the state.

laiperi:
It is now common for every militia in Nigeria to demonstrate how powerful they are to close markets and business activities either in the who country or their region.

Who is gaining and who is losing?

They're free to disobey and fight them. Also did the police go on vacation? It seems they're only good at collecting bribes at road blocks..

SpecialAdviser:
Tax money are contributed by people who also own the church. Take your brainwashed Aetheism go one side. Why are you masturbating over tax you didn't pay? Is government only making money through tax. Did Udom build the church for his children? Same people who pay tax right? If the people want church, and you build for them, what is wrong with that? Because you see anything church from the wrong side. The church is meant to build moral of people that will make a better society. That you see things from the prism of one angle doesn't mean everyone should join your thinking. Why not complain when government use tax payers money to build stadium? Is everyone watching football?

Government has no business contributing to religious organizations just because their members pay tax to them. Having a secular state means the state doesn't respect religion or show favoritism to it. The tax payers being religious doesn't change that because the government isn't supposed to be religious. Read section 10 if the constitution. Yes its wrong violate constitution because its popular.

The church has its place as a private institution. If the thousands of private churches didn't make you clowns moral nothing will. Its not the states responsibility to build churches. As states they enforce moral standards by upholding rule of law through courts and policing.

I actually did chastise the government stadium religious zealot. The thread is still up so go read it. Lol stand by your arguement without making idiotic deflections its pathetic. You weirdos just like compounding foolishness because you can't stand on principles.

SpecialAdviser:
People like you are idiots who do Yahoo and Ritualism destroying the country. When you see your damages, you find one thing to blame.

You are blind to all the corruption and stealing going on in your country. You come out to defend the so called thieves but once you hear church, you talk rubbish because your father didn't teach you moral.

Lol your mumu responses show you can't defend your position on public tax money going to religious affairs. I know its hard to defend such foolishness so you resort to slander and strawman and what about-isms. Nobody is blind to your corruption or crime I post about it frequently. Now explain why you the state should fund religious affairs instead jumping of topic clown.

hatchy:
Shatap!

Can you ask such question in any state in the North?
Virtually all the Mosque in the North are built and serviced with tax payers money.

You are spewing rubbish here because this one happened in the South where there is freedom of speech which people like you abuse.

Lol what an idiotic response you act like there aren't law suits on going in kano over blasphemy. Nice try deflecting to Muslims. You religious zealots are the same in the sense you want the state funds for your nonsense. When the case gets to the Supreme Court you'll all be praying they lose so the government funds all manner of foolishness like pilgrimages and churches, and mosques.

VEXT:
Fake Atheists,make dem come try that nonsense for north

The already have while you're hiding like coward. You don't know about Mubarak Bala?

samista:
I am a Christian, why should I chip in one naira to atheists and witches causes?

If you believe in following constitutional secularism you do so. If you against the state funding religious organization, against blasphemy laws and for free speech thats a reason. I also mentioned you can go out sue yourself but you're not interested in that. You just don't want them coming after what you like.

samista:
Why don't they ever drag governments that build mosques? Church must be dealing with them mercilessly. Foolish witches

Are your hands broken why dont you do so? Lolnwhy do you guys who don't chip in 1 naira want to tell people what go after. The atheist are suring in kano that should be enough.

SpecialAdviser:
All over the north, government uses state money to build mosques. You guys only wake up when it's done in the south. So shun the f.ker!!!

Lol you religious zealots are clowns you can't argue against the point about secularism so you deflect to Muslims. This why nobody should take you clowns seriously. Yes using resources on this church means resources aren't being uses on another project like lets say water.

Lol ofcourse it is. Buhari been incompetent for years regarding security. There's a reason Nigeria stopped publishing the National crime states in 2017. Unless policing is decentralised and citizens can defend themselves with semi autos they are dead meat. Just look at how the men run and hide with the women and children when danger visits.

Blue3k:
Kaduna crime stats:

Lol all this sounds like a personal problem. Why should the tenant be expected to cover funeral cost like it was in the lease agreement? I doubt this is even real it reads like satire.

They couldn't get their friends or family members to vote for them? Lol that's pathetic. Did these guys even vote for themselves?

Lifestone:
How is slave trade different from Holocaust? While the latter continues to receive condemnation, the perpetrators of the former continues shamelessly with no remorse.

Lol do you plan on apologizing on behalf of your ancestors? I dont see why you want modern Brits to do so why you feign moral superiority. You know African economies were built off slavery and resisted British efforts to outlaw it.

BlackZeus17:
I'm seeing bight of biafra(i believe should be south east/south south) and Benin(yorubas/edo I believe), how come slave trade rarely happened or never happened with the north cos I believe zaria/kano/ borno empires existed then too or were they too powerful for the Englishman?

Northern empires were more involved in the trans Saharan slave trade. The big reason you dont see northern parts listed was because the had no ports. The British weren't interest in the facilitating international slave trade by the time Danfodio conquered the hausa kingdoms. Obviously they weren't too powerful since they were eventually conquered by Lugard.

Hello everyone!

Please, I have the assignment to submit on the relevance of mass communication in politics.

Can anyone help me out, please?

• using media campaigning (social, podcast, TV etc)
• public relations with masses and interest groups
• segmenting advertising to demographics and interest groups.

boyfrank:
Some unfortunate fellows won't stop proclaiming how Elrufai is the best thing since the discovery of sliced bread. Tell me those flyovers are more important than the lives of kaduna people.

Democracy is for the people by the people but the people are retaŕded. Infrastructure is just one metric to look at when you judge a leader. People just ignore the others economic abd social ones.

Omo e be things. I believe about 5000 people are killed daily in Nigeria as a whole. Many are not reported.

I doubt 1 million people are killed a year. At most 40k per year. That would make it 20 per 100k.

samwillyco1:
So this guy is still on trials

You know Gandolla won't let this case go. He promised to fight it to the Supreme Court. Lol so enjoy this fight because you're going to get a landmark ruling out of it.

Dollyak:
This is interesting. Essentially, they are challenging the validity of sharia law within Nigerian constitution something of which could set a precedent to future case.

The question is if the Northen elite would allow this, as it could severely neutralise sharia law in Nigeria.

If they can't accept a loss at the supreme Court let them secede. The religious zealots can just go tyrannical if they dont care about the laws. The atheist are going after alot stuff thats against secularism so alot changes are on the horizon.

Principal among the irregularities was said to be the conduct of the trial in violation of the defendant’s constitutional right to be defended by a lawyer.

Just look at the kangaroo court these kano clowns are trying to run. They're only tough when the accused doesn't get lawyer now they're delaying. Its the same way they playroom they're used with Mubarak Bala. Who knows how often these tactics are used without being reported since weaker men just plead guilty. If the government honestly cared about corruption and protecting rights there's alot investigating to do in Kano.

The courts are too lenient with government prosecutors. There's no reason they should be given extension when they had 11 months to submit an arguement. The judge should dismiss the case with prejudice since they're not serious. I do think it's great the kano case is slowly progressing to the Supreme Court. Hopefully Kano loses so blasphemy will ruled unconstitutional. The government has no business forcing people to believe in some guys fairy tales.

“The constitutional principle of separation between government and religion enshrined at section 10 and 38 of the Constitution prohibits government from adopting religion or making laws restricting religious freedoms and prohibits government from making laws to advance or promote any religious interest,” Mr Alapinni added.

Citing section 1(3) of the Nigerian constitution, Mr Alapinni added, “The Penal Sharia Code Law 2000 of Kano State, or any other Penal Sharia Code Law in Nigeria, is incompatible with sections 10 and 38 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution”.

The Court of Appeal in Kano has postponed hearing in the case of a 22-year-old Yahaya Sharif-Aminu who was last year freed of death penalty but still grapples with an order for his retrial for blasphemy.

The postponement of the hearing followed the Kano State government’s request on Thursday for more time to file its response to Mr Yahaya-Aminu’s appeal.

The state government had already delayed its response for close to 11 months, having been served with the appellant’s brief of argument around March last year.

Mr Sharif-Aminu’s lawyer, Kola Alapinni, was set to push for the hearing of the case solely on the strength of the appellant’s brief of argument on Thursday.

But a last-minute appearance of the state government’s lawyer, Sani Ahmad, helped the respondents to secure an opportunity to file their brief of argument to counter the appellant’s case.

The Kano State governor and the state’s attorney-general both represented on Thursday by Mr Ahmad, are the two respondents to the appeal.

The three-member panel of the Court of Appeal led by George Mbaba adjourned hearing till May 12 following Mr Ahmad’s request for more time to do the filing.

Road to death row

Mr Aminu-Sharif has been entangled in the legal process after he was arrested and charged with blaspheming the prophet of Islam with his song he circulated via WhatsApp in March 2020.

Prosecutors charged him with contravening Section 382 (B) of the Sharia Penal Code Law of Kano 2000 at a Kano Upper Area Court, a Sharia court.

At the end of the trial which held without Mr Sharif-Aminu having a legal representative, the court, on August 11, 2020, sentenced him to death for the alleged offence of blasphemy.

Dissatisfied with the verdict, Mr Sharif-Aminu’s legal team appealed to the appellate division of the Kano State High Court to overturn the Upper Area Court’s verdict.

Delivering their judgement on January 21, 2021, the two judges who sat over the appeal, unanimously ruled that the trial at the Upper Area Court was characterised by procedural irregularities.

Principal among the irregularities was said to be the conduct of the trial in violation of the defendant’s constitutional right to be defended by a lawyer.

Further appeal

Mr Sharif-Aminu had further appealed to the Court of Appeal praying for an order quashing the High Court’s order for his retrial, and nullifying the Kano State Sharia law under which he was previously charged and sentenced to death.

His lawyers filed two grounds of notice of appeal against the High Court’s judgement in January 2021.

On March 22, 2021, the lawyers filed a brief of argument elaborating on the two grounds earlier raised in their notice of appeal.

His lawyers argue in the brief that the High Court judges erred in law when they overturned the trial court’s decision and at the same time ordered a retrial at the Sharia court.

They maintain that when “the prosecution fails to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt, the defendant is entitled to a discharge and an acquittal” under the Nigerian criminal law.

They contend that under Nigerian laws, a person cannot be prosecuted twice for the same crime for which he has already been convicted.

On the alleged unconstitutionality of the Kano State Sharia law, the team of lawyers argue that the High Court judges’ decision not to declare Sharia law unlawful in Nigeria was wrong.

They urged the Court of Appeal to declare the Kano State Sharia Penal Code Law 2000 null and void as it is “inconsistent with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

In their view, the Sharia law only applies to Islamic countries that practice theocracy, not Nigeria, which is a secular state with a constitutional democracy.

They argue that because Sharia rule is unconstitutional in Nigeria, the crime of blasphemy is likewise invalid in the country.

The respondents brief of argument when filed are expected to proffer counter-argument to the appellant’s case.

Its sad there's so many idiots who believe in imaginary entities will enrich them if they engage in ritual murders. If they weren't stupid or lazy enough believe in get rich quick schemes this would be an issue. The biggest issue is these people don't have a more compass. Even if they are stupid or lazy they would see this a beneath them.
