From federal minister to minister of state and now Chairman. and you know that Chairman in Nigeria is non executive and ceremonial

Kachikwu resign before you are disgraced.

the north don't under your English
you are too smart for them.

Those around you are simply to monitor you and report back to the boss.

Nawaa, The only serious technocrat who is not a misfit and seems to be working is fired.

My people!!!

How can we report banks to CBN for their terrible and ridiculous card rates.

These guys buy Dollars from CBN at 283-286 and you use your card outside Nigeria. banks want to cut your neck.

The cheapest card rate I know now is Standard chartered and Stanbic IBTC other banks charge as high as 320-340.

How can we report them to CBN to check this crazy charges.

Ok

we have not seen the end of this Shiite issue

its a problem that just hybernated

k

ok

ok

i have painstakingly perused the Electoral Act 2010 and i am at a loss to say the least as to how Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court arrived at the justification for his decision of ordering the withdrawal the certificate of return from Governor Ikpeazu and ordering INEC to issue a certificate of return to Dr. Ogah.

it is indeed a travesty of the extant laws in immeasurable proportions that the Federal High Court could arrive at such a decision in the face of the very clear and unambiguous letters of the sections 140 of the Electoral Act ,2010.

The issuance of a certificate of return to Dr. Ogah today is flawed on two grounds-

First, there is no conceivable legal basis for Courts order to issue Dr. Ogah with a certificate of return , secondly , the is no justifiable basis for INEC to have issued the Certificate of return to Ogah when a valid and subsisting Notice of Appeal and an Application for order of stay of execution of the Orders of the Federal High Court has been filed and served both on the federal High Court it self , INEC within 21 days in line with the dictates and prescriptions of section 143 of the Electoral Act ,2010.

In order to appreciate the whole charade, it is needful to set out the provisions of section 140 of the Electoral Act .

140. (1) Subject to subsection (2) of this section, if the Tribunal or the Court as the case may be, determines that a candidate who was returned as elected was not validly elected on any ground, the Tribunal or the Court shall nullify the election.

(2) Where an election tribunal or court nullifies an election on the ground that the person who obtained the highest votes at the election was not qualified to contest the election, the election tribunal or court shall not declare the person with the second highest votes as elected, but shall order a fresh election.

(3) If the Tribunal or the Court determines that a candidate who was returned as elected was not validly elected on the ground that he did not score the majority of valid votes cast at the election, the Election Tribunal or the Court, as the case may be, shall declare as elected the candidate who scored the highest number of valid votes cast at the election and satisfied the requirements of the Constitution and this Act.

141. An election tribunal or court shall not under any circumstance declare any person a winner at an election in which such a person has not fully participated in all the stages of the said election.

A calm and dispassionate consideration of the above provisions of the Electoral Act shows that the combined effect of sections 140(1)(2) and 141 clearly shows that even in an event such as the case at hand where the complaint of the Dr. Ogah is that Ikpeazu was not qualified to contest the election on the grounds that he did not possess genuine tax certificates , the powers of the Court is limited to nullifying the elections and ordering the conduct of a fresh election .

The Court is specifically bared from declaring "Any person who has not taken part in all stages of an election as the winner ''

it is absolutely and beyond the authority of Justice Okon Abang to have ordered the immediate issuance of a certificate of return to Dr, Ogah who clearly did not take part in all stages of the said elections .
The extent of the powers of the Court was to nullify the election and order the conduct of a fresh election.That is the law , no law and i repeat no law permits or donates the powers ,vires or authority to either the Tribunal or Courts to declare any one such as Dr. Ogah who did not take part in all stages of an election as the winner of such an election .

By the provisions of section 141 of the Electoral Act ,2010 the Supreme Court decision of Amaechi V Omehia has been over taken by the state of the Law and a decision which is founded on the said Amaechi V Omehia presently would have been reached per in curiam .

i suppose this is the basis of Governor Ikpeazus appeal to the Court of Appeal .

Secondly ,by the provisions of section 145 of the Electoral Act , 2015 ,any person such as Governor Ikpeazu against whom a decision has been handed down by the Courts or Tribunal under the Electoral Act , has a window period of 21 days within which to file an Appeal challenging the decision of the lower Court or tribunal .

Thus ,section 143. (1) of the Electoral Act provides -

If the Election Tribunal or the Court, as the case may be, determines that a candidate returned as elected was not validly elected, then if notice of appeal against that decision is given within 21 days from the date of the decision, the candidate returned as elected shall, notwithstanding the contrary decision of the Election Tribunal or the Court, remain in office pending the determination of the appeal.

(2) If the Election Tribunal or the Court, as the case maybe, determines that a candidate returned as elected was not validly elected, the candidate returned as elected shall, notwithstanding the contrary decision of the Election Tribunal or the Court, remain in office pending the expiration of the period of 21 days within which an appeal may be brought.

A community reading of both provisions juxtaposed with the fact that Governor Ikpeazu against whom the decision of Justice Abang was rendered , who has not only filed a Notice of Appeal but equally filed a Motion for stay of Execution of the decision of the Lower Court , remains the Governor until the determination of the Appeal which has been lodged .

Therefore , there is no legal basis what so ever what the mockery and drama which is playing out in Abia State when the letters and spirit of the Law is clear the only justification is that it exposes perhaps the desperation of APC to win another State in the South East through a sheer manipulation of the judicial system.

bashydemy1:
And you dull brain did not tell you that it will be very hard for exam bodies to reprint a copy of your certificate for you instead they will ask him to go get statements from, his school or affidavit. Beside when last did you hear the likes of Fayose, FFK, Metuh etc talk about the certificate? They know the truth just using you guys to cause distraction to the President and am so happy my President don't even know you exist,

what does it take to ask for statement nkpi

and the president knows you right that you defend him online. see how you reason

bashydemy1:
If by now your brain tells you that US War college will allow him to study without his O'Level then you are a programmed robot.

guy. your case is irredeemably pathetic.

we need not argue about it.

He went to US war college. went to all military schools with his WAEC.

Why cant he just bring it out or go to UK where his Cambridge school is and request for another print out. how hard is that.

but your dull brain tells you he has it because he went to US military college.

tell him to bring it.

If by now a part of your brain still tells you PMB has certificate and went to court..then you are totally irredeemable.
In fact you are really a

DropShot:
This post is filled with lies and half truths. And you know it. Keep deceiving the gullible ones here.

Point one thing that is a lie here or die a hypocrite.

Did PMB tell us he took loan to buy APC form or not

Was Fayose's account frozen or not

Was DezianI former Oil ED in she'll or not

What exactly is lies here. Don't drown in hypocrisy

If Buhari's bank sponsors his election with a 27 million Naira loan for his nomination form , it is strategic business and political calculation . But If Fayose's bank sponsors Fayose's election , it is corruption.
If Diezani, a former shell top executive, owns a house abroad, it is corruption. But If Buratai, a career military man, owns two houses abroad, it is called money saving skills.
If Dangote owes Banks Billions of Naira, it is strategic business acumen. But If Ben Bruce does same, it is corrupt bad debt and his business must close down.
If Jonathan keeps 9 presidential jets, it is corruption and callousness, but If Buhari keeps same 9 presidential jets, its a sign that he means well for the people!

Burantai got his houses in Dubai by savings, but Shell Nigeria longtime Boss and business woman Deziani building ONE house in Abuja and NONE in Dubai is a thief.

Ihejirika and Badeh are thieves but not Burantai. Okay!

Point is, fraud is Nigerian. It is taking place by the budget padders as we speak. It is taking place in Customs and everywhere. The president that will stop corruption is one that will not distiguish between Muslim and Christian, past 5 years/past 16 years, 97 percent and 5 percent, APC and PDP, Haliburton and Security votes, etc

The problem now is that if the court finds that the rules were amended illegally , and the illegally amended rules was used for the election of saraki and ekweremadu it then mean their election is null and void therefore they have to leave office . Let's wait and see. As for pro tempore Senate president saraki has ensured that will not happen for now by closing the Senate down with the hope that by the time they resume this trial would have been adjourned for a very long time.

if their election is quashed.

mention one senator that will defeat Saraki in a fresh election?

swagzofroyalty:
For Saraki and Ekweremadu to have taken benefit, the law presumes that they have such knowledge and same needs no further proof.

which law school did you finish from.

did I hear you say presume? Law deals with evidence not presumptions

This is one of those wild goose chase by the Government.

was the business rule amended. Yes.

Was it Saraki and Ekweremmadu that did it.

You have to prove it beyond doubt. The current NASS leadership were coming in as other senators.

The amendment could only have been done by a civil servant in NASS.
question, who ordered the amendment? lets assume its Saraki or Ekweremadu. was it put into writing or verbal instruction.

If its verbal instruction and Saraki denies it in court. the burden of proof lies with the Prosecutor to produce material evidence.

Point is, a civil servants head may go for it but again, it has to be with evidence.

When the Senate president and deputy are away, the Senate president must appoint a colleague to serve as Pro-tempore senate president...

who is our acting senate president?

Hope its not Dino

oh buoy

The president is not yet born.

When you post the first also post the second...
Failure to do that suggests you are irredeemably mischievous.

I am not a fan of the current government but be sure that I will stand for truth and a prosperous nation.

What do people gain from Mischief.

When you believe everything you read on social media...you seriously need help.

Social media must remain social.

Banks are smarter

you said stop mass sack....they now do single sack

a former colleague said every week 3 to 5 names are sent home...

no noise no media attention.

its a goose chase Ngige

We are not ready to make Nigeria work yet.

what exactly is this guys job description if not to serve as either a conduit pipe for corruption or settlement for political thugs.

Governors are still collecting outrageous security vote unaccounted for monthly and yet unable to pay salaries.

have you seen your governors convoy. it cant be less than 8 cars. with mobile police men and ambulance.

While we cry that Nigeria is sliding into recession. these guys care less.

pay workers, they wont pay...yet when they come out, people queue on the streets to greet them.

Our president has a total of 19 special assistants and advicers. He has 9 private presidential fleets. two are grounded with no plan to dispose any.

All our leaders past and present is Nigerias problem not the people.

naija

mischief makers

Deen77:
Fayose family, can you tell Nigeria which country Buhari visit with his wife, the man no want first lady wahala.

Only thief support thief, you are equally supporting a thief which means you are a thief too.

I know many sorry life like you. Tell your Aisha to atleast deny it in a press conference or visit U.S.

Till she does that keep mute.

Have you read the article?

I read abd can tell you that the truth about it will surface in days or weeks ahead.

My own interest was on the shabby job done on the passport they published. Wether it's presidents wife or not involved. The forgers of the passport did a bad job...from your article. The Aisha Buhari is in U.S. how did they get her passport expiring next year.
