Blindersoff:INEC, who supposedly issued the documents, said the documents were inauthentic! The least you could do was at least EXAMINE the documents for abnormalities before rushing ahead to take the extreme step of replacing a seating governor with the appellant based solely on those same clearly questionable, uncollaborated, unexamined documents supplied solely by the appellant! |
Iamgrey5:Zamfara, APC clearly held no primary, which was what SC ruled. In none of the cases were documents supposedly supplied by INEC were sworn to be inauthentic by the same INEC |
Blindersoff:You attempt to authentic a document by EXAMINING the document for abnormalities. The body who supposedly issued the document had sworn it was not authentic. ALSO you take into account that accepting the documents makes for impossible math. Replacing a seating governor is an extreme step. You don’t undertake it based on clearly questionable documents produced by the beneficiary! |
Iamgrey5:In which of those cases was a seating governor immediately removed and replaced by the appellant because the appellant supplied clearly questionable documents that INEC itself had sworn were not authentic??!! |
Blindersoff:I read the judgement. No where does it say that any attempt was made to establish the authenticity of the documents even when INEC (who supposedly issued them) had clearly stated they were not authentic AND it was clear that including them would make for impossible math! |
zoedew:I read the judgement. No where does it say that any attempt was made to establish the authenticity of the documents even when INEC (who supposedly issued them) had clearly stated they were not authentic AND it was clear that including them would make for impossible math! |
Kathleens:Easier said than done. Sexuality is the most powerful of urges and very deep - like asking a gay man not to be attracted to men. Only one thing defeats it, and very easily - replace it with spirituality |
Kpoikpoi:Mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against all lower courts AND INEC itself in other to immediately remove a seating governor - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the plaintiff himself!! |
MrPresident1:He is actually right - Trump may get an electoral college landslide (which he almost achieved last time despite losing the popular vote) |
Blindersoff:Mention another instance in Nigerian judicial history where the SC ruled against all lower courts AND INEC itself in other to immediately remove a seating governor - all based on clearly questionable, uncollaborated, and unauthenticated documents supplied solely by the plaintiff himself!! |
obixcel:I’d bet right now that not even a single republican senator will vote to convict |
Olaolufred:As a disinterested, nonpartisan party, I render the final and honest opinion: The Supreme Court has partisan bias If the governor were APC they would not have so promptly removed him. The worst they would have done was order a re-run. And they would base that decision on those same reasons the respondents presented. |
SKhanmi:Simple: something or someone must have put the info in the child’s brain. Also traumatic experiences are exactly what victims don’t remember - people rarely remember the event that put them in a comma |
SKhanmi:Consider: a person’s memory of anything can be wiped out permanently by tampering with his brain. It is simply not possible to remember something as specific as someone’s name after the brain where such info is stored has been destroyed. We are not talking of just having a feeling about something. |
SKhanmi:The problem with this is that the boy should also be able to remember that 1+1 is 2 or how to count or say abc yet he doesn’t. So something else must be going on - because once the brain is destroyed stored memory is gone
|
IDENNAA:Doesn’t necessarily mean he is educated |
Chimookigwe:Supreme Court Upholds Right of Female Child to Inherit Properties in Igboland FEMALE CHILD HAS RIGHT TO INHERIT FATHER'S PROPERTY IN IGBOLAND - SUPREME COURT FEMALE CHILD HAS RIGHT TO INHERIT FATHER’S PROPERTY IN IGBOLAND – SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court has voided the Igbo law and custom, which forbid a female from inheriting her late father’s estate, on the grounds that it is discriminatory and conflicts with the provision of the constitution.

Beauty vs. the beast Only God knows the extent of hidden criminality that mandated this bow

EricBloodAxe:It is all over google. Don’t have it offhand |
Kudos to Chimamda. If only the rest of our country had a fraction of her courage. STAND UP AND FIGHT INJUSTICE!! Even a greedy billionaire with all his money and influence |
by nairalee : 6:07amI’m not on any side. I only want us to brainstorm together and answer this question: Why haven’t they been able to prove it to this guy below and collect $1m? Why not have someone turn invisible with juju and slap him silly or even kill him? Instead the punk has lived a full happy and wealthy life and is now in his 90’s! james randi james "The Amazing" randi (born 1928) is a former magician and a scientific skeptic perhaps best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. He is the founder of the james randi Educational Foundation (JREF), and co-founder of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, originally known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. The million-dollar challenge is a prize offered by the james randi foundation to anyone "who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." It has yet to be won though there have been a vast number of attempts. randi started the james randi Educational Foundation to monitor applications for the $1 million prize, and to serve as an organizing body to help promote skepticism and provide educational resources on claims of the paranormal. The foundation was headed by james randi for many years before he retired from its presidency. In 1987 he exposed the Peter Popoff ministry for faking their faith healing claims. The resulting scandal drove Popoff into bankruptcy. When challenged in 2011 Sally Morgan did not even attempt the challenge. Sylvia Browne is the only widely known psychic who has offered to take up the challenge. Sylvia was a popular television psychic who claimed that she could communicate with the dead. On March 6, 2001, she agreed to take up the challenge. To her dying day she did not take the challenge. Sylvia's first excuse was because she did not know how to contact randi. That is comical: a professional psychic who speaks to dead people cannot figure out how to reach randi. Her following excuse was that she did not want to take the challenge because randi is a godless individual—all the more reason she should take the challenge. If the supernatural could be proven and demonstrated, and the $1,000,000 were claimed, it would be a tremendous blow to randi and the skeptical community, and a tremendous boost to her career as a psychic. “I regard randi as a national treasure, and perhaps one of the remaining antidotes that may prevent the rotting of the American mind.” —Arthur C. Clarke A Typical JREF Million Dollar Challenge Test A few minutes before 8 o’clock one Sunday evening last July, around 600 people crowded into the main conference hall of the South Point casino in Las Vegas, from as far away as South Africa and Japan. After taking their seats on red-velvet upholstered chairs, they chattered noisily as they awaited the start of the Million Dollar Challenge. When Fei Wang, a 32-year-old Chinese salesman, stepped onto the stage, they fell silent. Wang had a shaved head and steel-framed glasses. He wore a polo shirt, denim shorts and socks. He claimed to have a peculiar talent: from his right hand, he could transmit a mysterious force a distance of three feet, unhindered by wood, metal, plastic or cardboard. The energy, he said, could be felt by others as heat, pressure, magnetism or simply “an indescribable change.” Tonight, if he could demonstrate the existence of his ability under scientific test conditions, he stood to win $1 million. The Million Dollar Challenge is offered by James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), which holds the $1 million in bonds that back the challenge. For 60 years Randi has been offering up a cash reward to anyone who could demonstrate scientific evidence of paranormal activity, and no one had ever received a single penny. Randi was presiding from the front row, a cane topped with a polished silver skull between his legs. He drummed his fingers on the table in front of him. The Challenge organizers had spent weeks negotiating with Wang and fine-tuning the protocol for the evening’s test. A succession of nine blindfolded subjects would come onstage and place their hands in a cardboard box. From behind a curtain, Wang would transmit his energy into the box. If the subjects could successfully detect Wang’s energy on eight out of nine occasions, the trial would confirm Wang’s psychic power. “I think he’ll get four or five,” Randi told me. “That’s my bet.” The Challenge began with the solemnity of a murder trial. A young woman in a short black dress stood at the edge of the stage, preparing to mark down the results on a chart mounted on an easel. The first subject, a heavyset blond woman in flip-flops, stepped up and placed her hands in the box. After two minutes, she was followed by a second woman who had a blue streak in her hair and, like the first, looked mildly nonplused by the proceedings. Each failed to detect the mystic force. “Which means, at this point, we are done,” the M.C. announced. With two failures in a row, it was impossible for Wang to succeed. The Million Dollar Challenge was already over. Stepping out from behind the curtain, Wang stood center stage, wearing an expression of numb shock, like a toddler who has just dropped his ice cream in the sand. He was at a loss to explain what had gone wrong; his tests with a paranormal society in Boston had all succeeded. Nothing could convince him that he didn’t possess supernatural powers. “This energy is mysterious,” he told the audience. “It is not God.” He said he would be back in a year, to try again. |
Please no likes. Let’s end this thread here and go on to bigger and better things |
This is my very first post here. Folks, please, let this be the last post. I said please. |
Heffalump:Nothing is impossible. There are higher powers than SC |
OROSUNBOLB:Until the civil war he had hardly spent any time at all in Igbo land |
Jimi24: chloedogie:Why rush to comment on what u don’t understand. “Impeached” simply means “indicted”. He’d now be tried in the senate where two thirds majority is needed to convict. There is zero chance of that happening. And NO, there is no such thing as trying him for the same offense after he leaves office! |
Thisnut:YES, he has been impeached. “Impeached” in US parlance is equivalent to “indicted”. He’d now be tried in the Senate where there is 100% chance he’d be acquitted. Which makes this a total waste of time and tax payers’ money! |

OtemAtum:You said YHWH was roaming the earth BILLIONS of years ago. Does that sound to u like something someone with a smattering of scientific knowledge would say? He was on earth before there was even earth! Or have u forgotten that’s what u wrote? See it: “Yahweh at creation is as tall as 4 storey building. He cannot come to the earth in that form anymore. But he can come to the earth as a human. That's exactly what I'm talking about. I will show you the stature of Yahweh when he was on earth in his god form billions of years back. That former physical appearance of Yahweh is what he cannot come with anymore, but to come as a human to the earth, he can always do that.” Stop trying to write science fiction, u simply don’t have the scientific education. Stop making a fool of yourself. It’s been nice chatting with ya but I can’t keep wasting my time. This will be my last post on this. Good luck. |

OtemAtum:Have u forgotten you wrote that your giangantic YHWH was roaming the earth billions of years ago (before the earth even formed!). Here is what you wrote below. Juxtapose it with evolution of the universe after the Big Bang. Does this sound like someone with even modicum scientific education?: “14. The creatures which resulted from the great bang were two millions in number, but only few of them were Homos(humanlike beings). 15. The Homos(beings) were very gigantic in stature. They were all males like us, except for Earthus.” Get some scientific education if u insist on writing science fiction so u don’t appear a total fool. Good luck. |
