Wetin we no go see for nairaland?

nicks:
Looks great for a state university in that part of Nigeria. I can remember how sitting and former southern governors donated huge sums of money towards the establishment of this University and now it looks better than their own states' universities

If I hear, have u been to AAUA in On do State? I know this argument is going nowhere. Just wanna have a good time in Kiss Daniel's voice.

SO ARE YOU SAYING YOU DID NOT READ THIS PART OF THE ARTICLE?

[color=#000000]"since there is no immunity for impunity as far as electoral malfeasance is concerned, the investigation by the EFCC is in order. The senior lawyers who have questioned the freezing of Mr. Fayose’s account on the ground that the EFCC did not obtain a court order have not read section 28 of the EFCC Act which provides that “where a person is arrested for an offence under this Act, the Commission shall immediately trace and attach all the assets and properties of the person acquired as a result of such economic or financial crime and shall thereafter cause to be obtained an interim attachment order from the Court”. The law permits the EFCC to freeze an account or attach a property of a criminal suspect and proceed thereafter to obtain an ex parte order from the appropriate court."[/color]

I have been trying to him that all this while, but he seems pretty determined not to see the light of this matter.

Reyginus:
I'd also have to advice you. This is very important. In articles where the newspaper or media outlet reports news, direct speeches, that is, statements expressed by a person is written in quotes and statements carrying the insinuations and inference drawn by the outfit is not in quotes.

The defense you presented above is not Falana's words but the inference drawn by the media outfit carrying the news. We've got brains for a purpose not exclusive to aesthetic value. You see, Bodmas, stating the above as statements made by Falana is not just only unintelligent but also mischievous. I take it back because I know you know this thing. But why? Okay. Show me Falana's Exact quote of condemnation and not his quotation of the law.

Thanks for the unsavoury comments about my intelligent. It is no surprise. They only make us a better 'bubu'. But as regards the other aspect of your comment, you seem or appear, either unwittingly or mischievously, to deny the fact that the article was written in its entirety by Falana. From the context of the article, it is painfully clear that that article was Falana's. It is an address to the Nigerian public which was circulated by the media. You seem also not to be aware that Femi Falana is a regular columnist on several media outlets, Sahar reporters being one. So how could have they added or removed some parts of the article. And as regards the 'condemnation' theory of yours. I don't really get that part. But for the record, all the legal phenomenon did was just to make Nigerians (I mean the laymen amongst us) know the true position and to bring people who might have been misled by people who are preoccupied with blatantly distorting facts and giving traction and credibilty to outright and brazen falsehood. BE WISE! LOVE A LAWYER! IT IS LEGAL! God bless!

Reyginus:
Lolol. A court order for what? After arresting you the police get an arrest warrant. After sending you in Jail the system get a judgement. The section I just read quoted by Falana clearly indicates that the court order precede the Freezing. But you can still show me it says otherwise. Go ahead.

Bros, please next time when you are reading an article, especially one of this magnitude, do not skim through. It is only ridiculous and risible that you have failed to comprehend such a plain article as this. For your clarification, Mr Falana in this article that, "the senior lawyers who have questioned the freezing of Mr Fayose's account on the ground that the EFCC did not obtain a court order have not read section 28 of the EFCC Act which provides that 'where a person is arrested for an offence under this Act, the Commission shall IMMEDIATELY trace and attach all assets and properties of the person acquired as a result of such economic or financial crime AND SHALL THEREAFTER CAUSE TO BE OBTAINED AN INTERIM ATTACHMENT ORDER FROM THE COURT'". Are we clear now?

Reyginus:
Does this decree not request for a court order before a Governor's account is frozen? Yes or No. No long stories.

FYI, with due respect, it's not a decree but an ACT. The Act only requires the EFCC to obtain a court order AFTER it might have secured the property (in this particular case, frozen the account). ANS: YES BUT WITH THE ABOVE QUALIFICATION.

Reyginus:
Does this decree not request for a court order before a Governor's account is frozen? Yes or No. No long stories.

FYI, it's not a decree but an Act. The Act requires that the EFCC obtain a court order AFTER it might have sufficiently secured the property (in this case, frozen the account). I believe that is brief enough.

Reyginus:
So how is the unlawful freezing of Fayoses account consistent with the constitution? Many words doesn't make a defense correct. You should try brief notes that attacks the question and red herrings. How is the freezing consistent with the constitution? And before you confuse yourself I don't have any problem with his investigation.

By virtue of the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, to wit, section 308, section 28 of the EFCC Act is not inconsistent with the Constitution as the matter contained in the section 308 of the constitution is in relation to immunity from civil or criminal proceedings. In the case of Peter Ayodele Fayose, an INVESTIGATION has only been carried out and NOT A CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. Therefore, the only reasonable conclusion that could be reached here is that THE FREEZING OF PETER AYODELE FAYOSE'S ACCOUNT IS NOT UNLAWFUL. If he has any dispute with that, let him approach the court to seek redress.

Reyginus:
Does the EFCC act submit to the law of Nigeria or the Law of Nigeria submit to the EFCC act?

Sorry for asking, have you had any opportunity of going through the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria? I don't think so. Because if you had, you would have known that all other laws and subsidiary legislations are invalid and void to the extent of them being inconsistent with the Constitution. In other words, every law passed either by the national assembly or state assemblies are valid and of full effect so long as they are consistent with the Constitution. In this wise, section 308 of the Constitution only precludes a sitting president or governor from being PROSECUTED for any criminal offence in any court of law in Nigeria. Also, any civil proceedings is precluded from being brought against them. On the authority of several case laws, it is trite that an investigation does not constitute a prosecution. A prosecution is only set in motion when a person has been charged to court. Has Fayose been charged to court. It should be noted that the court order which the EFCC need obtain is an ex-parte application. That is, the application is heard without the presence of the governor being necessary. Once again, I hope I have done a meritorious service to the nation by enlightening you on this matter. Thank you for your time.

Reyginus:
What are you saying?

It never crossed my mind that there is every possibility you may not understand a word of what I have to say. The learned ones would have understood perfectly. Notwithstanding, for humanitarian sake, I meant that by virtue of section 28 of the EFCC Act, the court order may only be sought after the property has been in the custody of the EFCC and not before the property is seized. The rationale behind this is to prevent the destruction of evidence which may be done when the sum of money in the account is withdrawn or transferred outside the jurisdiction of the agency which will like endanger any case which the agency might have against such culprit. With this, I hope you now understand all I have been saying all along. Thank you.

toposi4naija:
Mr Falana...yhu tried....lol I forqot yhu are now an APC member


this is why I keep saying there is nothing like human right activist.... They are only after their pocket

FG can't just freeze Fayose's account.... There should be a court order

. See laymen trying woefully to interprete what the law says. Bro, what a poor attempt. To bring you back on the lane, read that section again and you will discover the genius in Falana's analysis.

Reyginus:
Just a little correction, bro. The EFCC froze the Account of Adamawa State Government and not Nyako's. The two are entirely different. Nyako's account was not touched. It's good we don't misinform people.

You see, in this fight against corruption, if our method fall short of due process it becomes corrupting. The EFCC should have gotten a court order permitting the act. Any contrary act, like we have now, is both corrupt and corrupting.

A governor can be investigated, that's true. Where Falana fails is to tell us if it's right to freeze the account of a sitting governor without recourse of a court of law. We shouldn't corrupt the system in the name of fighting corruption. Let's follow due process.

. Bros go and section 28 of the EFCC again. For easy finding, it is contained in the article. It is only after the property has been seized that the EFCC is mandated to obtain a court order which is a condition subsequent.

LeStylo:
It was a smart ploy to confuse the reader with the popular Wall Street Journal. Failed attempt. That's just the work of some creative artist.

. I cannot agree less. It is painful to think that so many unsuspecting readers would have unwittingly believed the credibility of the fiction. What a shame! I am now beginning to believe that freedom of speech and the press should not be a license to anybody in his grand imagination to say things which are threatening and harmful to the national security of the state. Every right has a limit. The right in question and any other right for that matter are not absolute. Let's us watch what we say so as not to mislead either ourselves or other people. God bless us, God bless Nigeria.

Delphi:
Inasmuch as I don't want to get involved in the acrimony between these fellows, however, it doesn't fancy me the way gerontocracy is being encouraged and motivated. There are myriads of young presidents holding sway in many countries which out numbers the elderly ones to say the least. Irrespective of any prejudice, the youth must be given a chance to take a shot at governace.

. Well said. But my believe is that age does not translate to good governance. If Nelson Mandela could do it for South Africa at that age, then why can't another elderly person be given a chance. Regardless of the age, I believe the deciding factor should be the goodwill, integrity and having the love of the nation at heart. That is my opinion though. Nevertheless, let's support the bill at the national assembly which is seeking to reduce the least age of contestants vying for political offices. Only then would the youth be given a chance. Only then would someone like me would get a chance to achieve my dream. God bless Nigeria. Good morning.

Since everyone is repping their schools. I've got to rep mine as well. ADEKUNLE AJASIN UNIVERSITY, AKUNGBA AKOKO, ONDO STATE is not only the best state university in Nigeria by every standard, it is also the most beautiful state university in Nigeria. Case closed!

bloggers sah with their lies. Dem fit lie for Africa. I can safely say that the name of this website (mind you it is no journal) is a deliberate effort by the owners to gain cheap popularity by heating up the polity. At the first instance, my initial thought was that this media outlet is situated in the USA. But I was shocked to see that the page of the website is littered with Nigerian news. I am saddened that Nigerians have now gotten to this stage so as to make ends meet at any rate.

Unfortunately, PDP is retaking Exo state

. Unfortunately, most people that consider themselves as political pundits on social media are not card carrying citizens of this country, not to talk of being card carrying members of any party. I am not one either. So most times, I carry out a survey amongst the real voters to check the popularity, appraise the prevailing circumstances, ponder over the best candidate who possess the wherewithal to win the election amongst others in deciding who has the best chance of winning. Most importantly, the political parties involved. Believe it or not, in Nigeria, in as much as candidates sell, political parties sell the most. It is on those bases do I consider who wins. Deriving from those bases, I believe Obscene (APC) is so winning this election. Just like my bet is on Donald Trump to win the American presidential election.

1000 fighter jets? REALLY NIGGA?

. Please can u provide us d source of ur info. We are unenlightened, u can definitely do us a favour by providing us d source. Biko!!!

Sixfold:
When I heard air force, what comes to mind was SU 27/34 or mug 29.. or tornado.. or F16 .. not alpha jet and F7 ordinary Browning m2 can shoot down...

all we need to do at this moment to give our boys unwavering support. And as for all the kinds of military aircraft u just mentioned, it is a fact that we don't have them. Let's make do with what we have. Remember Nigeria is a developing country. We shouldn't start to compare ourselves to the developed world. Nigeria will definitely win this WAR. The Nigerian Armed Forces has the track record. One Nigeria!!!
