Programming / Re: Naijawebhost.com Is A Big Scam. Avoid Them by branhampaul: 8:42am On Jan 09
I agree with you. My websites hosted with them has been down for the past two weeks. I registered a new domain with them and that has been down too and not working. Loss of money to me, as well as almost loss of reputation for my brand.

The painful part is its inability to respond to support tickets nor WhatsApp messages. It is very painful.

Not just me but hundreds of other of his customers are affected too.

Karma will catch up with him; he cannot run forever.

He keeps giving promises of restoring the websites for the past weeks but no result to show for it.

Politics / How The Nysc Certificate Forgery Against Governor Mbah Was Adjudged By Tribunal? by branhampaul: 7:30am On Oct 02, 2023
HOW THE NYSC CERTIFICATE FORGERY AGAINST GOVERNOR MBAH WAS ADJUDGED BY THE HONOURABLE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION PETITION TRIBUNAL (ENUGU STATE) ?

by Branham Chima.

Distillable, the decision of the tribunal on the alleged forged NYSC certificate is premised on two standpoints, videlicet:
i. NYSC certificate is not a requirement for qualification;
ii. The NYSC certificate was not presented in aid of his qualification.

These shall be shortly considered. Let us consider the facts of the case first.

✓ Brief facts
This petition pertains to the gubernatorial election in Enugu State that took place on March 18, 2023. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), represented as the 1st Respondent, conducted this election. In this electoral contest, Mbah Peter Ndubuisi, denoted as the 2nd Respondent and a candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (the 3rd Respondent), vied for the office of Governor.

The 1st Petitioner, Edeoga Chijioke Jonathan, participated in this election as a candidate of the 2nd Petitioner, the Labour Party, along with other candidates from various political parties. Following the election, the 1st Respondent declared the 2nd Respondent, Mbah Peter Ndubuisi, as the winner with 160,895 votes, while the 1st Petitioner secured the second position with 157,552 votes. Other candidates in the election ranked behind these two.

This petition was filed on April 6, 2023, contesting the declaration and victory of the 2nd Respondent by the 1st Respondent.

In respect of the alleged forged NYSC certificate, the prayer of the Petitioners was: ‘That it be determined that the 2nd Respondent was, at the time of the election to the office of Governor of Enugu State held on 18th March, 2023, not qualified to contest the election.’

✓ Issue
Whether the 2nd Respondent sponsored by the 3rd Respondent was qualified to contest the Governorship Election for Enugu State held on 18th March 2023 [in view of the alleged forged NYSC certificate]?

✓ Decision
The decision of the Court is premised on two standpoints, videlicet:
i. NYSC certificate is not a requirement for qualification;
ii. The NYSC certificate was not presented in aid of his qualification.

i. NYSC certificate is not a requirement for qualification:
The tribunal held that, based on Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution, possession of an NYSC discharged certificate is not a requirement for the office of Governor, as stipulated in Section 318 of the same constitution. The 2nd Respondent’s qualification as a lawyer is undisputed, but the authenticity of the NYSC certificate he presented is contested. The tribunal posed, the key question is whether he could contest the election without the NYSC certificate?

The tribunal concludes that Section 182(j), which the Petitioners rely on, must be interpreted alongside Section 318. When considered together, it is determined that an NYSC certificate is not a requirement to contest the office of Governor in Enugu State, as per the 1999 Constitution.

Hear the tribunal thus: ‘“It is not in doubt going by the provision of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and highlighted which is the qualification to the office of Governor of a State, that possession of NYSC discharged certificate is not a requirement as a follow up to Section 318 of the same constitution.”

“The consideration here and questions to ask are: 1. Was the certificate presented by the 2nd Respondent forged? 2. Did the 2 Respondent present a forged NYSC Certificate in aid ofhis qualification? In respect of the posers above, reference is made to section 177(d) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) quoted above. The qualification of the 2nd Respondent as a Lawyer is not in doubt between the two sides in this Petition. What is in issue is that the NYSC certificate presented by the 2nd Respondent in aid of his qualification was forged as he never completed the said programme and was never issued with any discharged certificate by NYSC. A poser here again is without the NYSC certificate is the 2nd Respondent qualified to have contested the election?”

“The qualification to contest to the office of the Governor in Section 318 of 1999 Constitution as highlighted above does not include NYSC certificate. Section 182(j) relied upon by the Petitioners cannot stand alone but interpreted together with Section 318 of the same constitution. We so hold. Therefore reading Section 182(1)(j) with Section 318 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) we hold that NYSC certificate is not a requirement/qualification to contest to the office of Governor of Enugu State.”’


ii. The NYSC certificate was not presented in aid of his qualification:
Governor Mbah did not fill in the alleged forged NYSC certificate in the requisite form i.e. form EC9. This form is where the educational qualifications of Mbah were stated. Though, the NYSC certificate was attached to the form, it was not filled in the form, and thus does not amount to submitting the said NYSC certificate as part of his qualifications.

Hear the tribunal on this thus: ‘Placing reliance on this, this Tribunal shall therefore then ask, was the alleged forged document presented in aid of the qualification of the 2nd Respondent? Reference is here made to Exhibit PET01/15 which is the Form EC9 of the 2nd Respondent to the 1st Respondent wherein the educational qualification of the 2nd Respondent was filled. Nowhere in the form is NYSC certificate filled though attached. We then ask "was the NYSC certificate attached in aid of his qualification? In Ogundehin v Olubowale (2016) LPELR 41125(CA), Tsammani JCA held thus: “… it is the settled law that any document attached to an affidavit but is not so marked as an exhibit cannot be countenanced”. See NDCA & Gaspa Project Management Engineering Ltd v Gaspa Project Management Group Ltd & Ors (2019) LPELR 47607 (CA). The said NYSC Certificate having not been referred to in the affidavit is therefore held to be merely attached and shall therefore be of no consequence to the qualification of the 2nd Respondent. Agi v PDP (2016) LPELR 42578 (SC) where the Supreme Court held: “… it must be proven that the falsification was done to circumvent the provision of Section 177 of the constitution, 1999, particularly as it relates to age qualification”’.


✓ IN CONCLUSION, the tribunal held thus: ‘From the consideration of evidence presented by the Petitioners and the holding of the Tribunal that the NYSC discharged certificate so attached does not have any bearing in the affidavit not being a statutory requirement. Also that same was not attached in aid of his qualification to contest the election we hold that the Petitioners did not present any evidence before the Tribunal in respect of this leg of their Petition. This issue is therefore resolved in favour of the Respondents and against the Petitioners same having not been proved. WE SO HOLD.’.

Computers / Problem: An Activity Triggered In A Program Does Not Complete by branhampaul: 4:31pm On May 19, 2022
THIS HAPPENS IN WINDOWS

An activity triggered in a program (like clicking a link in the about section of a software) does not open in the required program, it just launches the the program.

Here are illustrations:
i. if I click a link in the "about" section of a software, Chrome gets opened as required, but the link webpage does not open i.e. take me to the webpage.

ii. If I click "play with VLC" in the context menu of a playable file, VLC gets launched but the file to be played does not play.

How may I fix this?

Computers / Increasing The Speed Of Your Slow Computer Internet Wifi by branhampaul: 9:22am On May 19, 2022
Increasing The Speed Of Your Slow Computer Internet Wifi

If when you connect your computer to your wifi, your computer is slow; but if connected to other devices, those devices are fast, then your computer is the likely problem - the network driver is the likely culprit.

These steps below will help your computer internet wifi speed (especially if an old Dell computer - E6400, E6500, et cetera) to increase drastically.

When I formatted & I reinstalled my windows, connecting to WIFI and intending to browse the internet was extremely slow. Even connecting to Xender via hotspot to transfer files - the download of the files from the phone (no internet) were slow. Upon searching on the internet and from a combination of tips, the below steps did work. My computer was back to being fast. I have windows 10 installed on my computer, and this worked on windows 10. It should work irrespective of windows version, though.

You may also try out the below steps if you just want to increase your wifi internet speed (even if you are comfortable with the present speed) it may be valuable in boosting speed.

The steps to increase your computer's internet speed are:

I. Find and download (it will be easy to see for download) from the internet this exact file: Network_Driver_WD35F_WN_5.100.235.12_A37.exe;

II. Double click the downloaded file as if to install;

III. Instead of installing, click "extract" and pick a location for the extracted files to go (I recommend you create a folder);

IV. Open your computer "Device Manager"; under “Network Adapters”, right-click your main internet WIFI driver listed there. In my case, there were many device drivers listed, but I got to know that my main device driver is "Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card";

V. Now click "Update Driver";

VI. Select "Browse my computer for driver software";

VII. Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer";

VIII. Click on the "Have Disk..." button; on the Install from disk window that appears, click the "browse..." button to find;

IX. Find the folder you stored the extracted files in step III above;

X. After opening the folder, follow this path - Drivers\Win7\WL, and double click the only file there in WL subfolder;

XI. Further click next, and Ok, until you are prompted that it is successfully installed - once the driver update process is complete, you should see a Window of its success;

XII. Restart. The steps are completed;

XIII. Test your WiFi internet speed.

Webmasters / Problem Paying $25 For Google Developer Account by branhampaul: 10:02pm On Apr 29, 2022
I am unable to use my naira debit Mastercard to pay $25 on Google Play Console for my developer's account. I bank with FirstBank. FirstBank said that naira debit cards are limited and cannot make payment of that sum on Google Play Console.

I tried using Zenith Bank & GT Bank debit Mastercards, but to no avail.

I was advised to get a Domiciliary account. However, I doubt I can get that now.

What other options (how may I get an eligible Mastercard) could I use to complete the payment on Google Play Console?

Your suggestions are highly welcomed.

While you follow up the matter, kindly consider instituting an action against them in court. The court will grant you damages (monetary compensation equivalent to the loss) if you have done all that is proper before the seizure.

Stay well.

A paper on

MARITAL DISPUTE THROUGH ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Excerpt:
"Divorce ends the matrimonial contract. Divorce can only be granted by a court of law upon the application by one party. Divorce is harder to be granted in a statutory marriage than in a customary marriage. For a statutory marriage to be dissolved, some certain elements must be proved by the party seeking the divorce - section 15 Matrimonial Causes Act. The court usually makes arrangements as to the upkeep of the children, if any, after dissolution. Divorces are not good for the wellbeing of the society, and the courts have had the opportunity to speak on this: per Abiriyi JCA, in Olabiwonnu v. Olabiwonnu (2014) 'marriage is a very ...'"

Education / Re: 10 Grammatical Blunders Nigerians Make Regularly by branhampaul: 8:47am On Jan 09, 2021
I disagree with your list for several reasons which I have written below.

FIRSTLY, the English language as it is, is not a prescriptive language, but rather it is DESCRIPTIVE - in usage and essence. In simple terms, this means that English dictionaries reflect the way the language or words are used and not the other way (telling users how to use a language as if it is mechanical).

The way a language or word is currently being used is what is taught in schools and stored in dictionaries. Such is the beauty of English. English is not a mechanical language or a language with serious penalties for new usages.

Nevertheless the above, I accept that there are few rules, simple, to aid comprehension when speaking English, and these rules are usually related to concords; hardly are they adjectives or nouns.

If a particular region starts the use of a particular word (especially an adjective) in describing, it is very much welcomed and English language will update itself to reflect such speaking.

For the "barb" word you talked being wrong which Nigerians use daily, it has been taken by English dictionaries to reflect the way Nigerians use it. See the screenshot I attached below.

Further, for the word "trafficator" which you condemned, is obviously in one of the world most popular dictionary (i.e the English Android dictionary). See the further screenshot I attached below to this post.

I hope I have been able to educate.
For emphasis, let me repeat some of the key points I have made:

i. English language is DESCRIPTIVE, not prescriptive. And such is the best way for the language to be and progress, if not it would be static and might die off. Above all, such is its' beauty.

ii. New adjectives are created everyday, so you do not condemn an adjective a particular region or people speaking English have adopted. English should and will update itself to reflect such usages.

That is it.
