I need Ozekhome and the other lawyers to carefully interpret section 68(1)g ofthe constitution and how it applies in the case of Tambuwal.

Mumu, is it the job of lawyers or the police or the presidency to interpret the law? or is it the job of the courts? why not wait till there is a court injunction before taking such stupid action?

Please where is your sauce? How can one eat dry eba without soup?

Chylo:
Here is the video:

I thought they said they have killed this guy. But this person in the video looks and talks exactly as Shekau now, or is this an impersonator?

Whatever the case though, I believe Badeh need to at least rescue his hometown.

Also, as for the girls, i think we need to accept that they are not together in one place again, but scattered all over, married to different boko haram people. So no need to negotiate, just kill them all. Why will a government be scamming the people? very embarassin sumthin

Here is the video:

[size=13pt]AIT are used to doing this rubbish.

That was how they announced that Ciroma Kano, son of late Ado Bayero was the new Emir of Kano instead of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.[/size]

Actually, no.

A prayer for relief, in the law of civil procedure, is a portion of a complaint in which the plaintiff describes the remedies that the plaintiff seeks from the court. For example, the plaintiff may ask for an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, an injunction to make the defendant stop a certain activity, or all of these.

1. This is criminal law, not civil.
2. Diezani would be the defendant, not the plaintiff (or rather, not the prosecution, as it would be a criminal case)
3. She is not seeking damages from the court, but begging them not to investigate and prosecute her.

While it is indeed a legal term, that's not how it is being used in this context. They meant that she is literally praying not to be investigated. Or, they don't know what a legal prayer is.

Actually yes. You did not read the body of the article, nor the source I guess.

They are right in saying in this context, "prayer" is legal. Here is a quote from the article:

The minister, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation are the plaintiffs in
the suit.
Their proposed amendments are seeking additional prayers
to their suit.
The fresh prayers are to seek the court’s pronouncement on
whether by the virtue of provisions of section 88 of the
constitution, the National Assembly has the power to conduct
oversight functions of probing government’s Ministries
Departments and Agencies after receiving a petition to that
effect.

Leo001:
my take is that! if you have rule this county once in ur life don't come back again! we can't be saying we are going forward, when indeed we are still looking back to GMB. APC should bring out Fresh vibrant and Purposeful leader, not those we learnt of while we were still kids.!

But Jonathan has also ruled this country once in his life na, so why you wanting to vote him back?
In fact Jonathan has ruled for longer than Buhari did, and has performed far worse, so what is your argument?

So is it that he changed his mind or the seat is too sweet for him now or what? He has said it na, he should go back home jaare, Nigeria needs change.

In my opinion, this is how the states would vote:
This is how the states will vote come 2015
1. Abia - Goodluck
2. Adamawa - Buhari
3. Akwa Ibom - Goodluck
4. Anambra - Goodluck
5. Bauchi - Buhari
6. Bayelsa - Goodluck
7. Benue - Goodluck
8. C/River - Goodluck
9. Delta - Goodluck
10. Enugu - Goodluck
11. Ebonyi - Goodluck
12. Gombe - Buhari
13. Imo - Goodluck
14. Jigawa - Buhari
15. Kano - Buhari
16. Kaduna - Buhari.
17. Edo - Goodluck (small margin)
18. Kebbi - Buhari
19. Borno - Buhari
20. Lagos - Buhari
21. Niger - Buhari
22. Ondo - Goodluck

Hmmm,

Na you be rat, no be me.

Below are the results of the last election in 2011 by state. The purpose of this thread is to get the discussion started (and it is not too early) on what could happen in 2015, given the merger of ACN, CPC and ANPP into the APC, and given the performance of Jonathan for 5 years.

What do you guys think could potentially happen? What would you desire to happen?

Is there any way APC could win?

In what states are the dynamics now radically different from 2011?

How would Shekarau and Ribadu, both former candidates of ACN and ANPP joining the PDP affect your permutations?

The floor is open.


NB: This thread should be a reference point as elections come closer, so be sure to follow it.

Pls can someone direct me to a good ministry in Enugu that will help draw me closer to God. But it should be the one in Enugu town,so that i can be easier for me to access.
Thanks.

Go to Dominion City Enugu. Best advice you will ever been given, trust me.

ahaika23:
Whenever I see Buhari, na blood of baboons I de see. Then I go remember our dead corpers (same baboons). I remember shariaing Nigeria, by then Christians would have fled to Benin, Ghana, etc. God forbid bad thing. Cram, keep jonsing yourself.

...And when you see Jonathan, you don't see the over 200 Chibok girls who have been missing for over 6 months, you don't see the over 13,000 people killed by Boko Haram, you don't see the 18 people killed in a silly immigration recruitment exercise which was a scam, you don't see the 16 people killed in the New Year-gift fuel subsidy protests?

What do you see then? You hypocrite! Nigerians have such short-term, selective memory. I can't believe a Nigerian with full thinking faculties can still want to vote for that man with all the suffering people are suffering. Are people daft or something?

shift15:
You are pathetic phoool.

Oga, why you dey call me foool na? Why not make your comment and gerrout. If ee pain you too much sha, you know what to do.

Monimatic:
Ignorance has really consumed the posters above me...........APC has gone so low by resorting to cheap black mailing and defamation of character by putting up pictures of Asari Dokubo , Pastor Oritsejafor and Comrade Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro, they now try to deceive the unenlightened ones that Comrade Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro is Mohmammed Yusuf.
Several APC politicians have been sharing the above pictures all over the social media throughout the weekend, what are they trying to achieve with this cheap black mailing and publicity stunt?
Is Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor giving APC, it's members and sympathizers sleepless night?
Is Asari Dokubo a threat to APC existence as a political party?
Then why all these character assassination, bitterness, propaganda and lies against these two men( Dokubo and Oritsejafor) in the past weeks by APC politicians and sympathizers mostly being spearheaded by by "Lie Mohammed" and "Hell Rufai"
As 2015 election gets closer, APC politicians keep getting more confused, rather than strategizing on how to dislodge the PDP by enlightening the Nigerian voters on what their plan for Nigeria is all about, they are rather wasting their energy by keep resorting to lies and character assassination on social media and on the pages of newspapers and TV.
The man standing left to Asari Dokubo is Comrade Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro.
Do a google image search your self for Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro and Mohammed Yusuf and see for your self that the man standing left to Asari Dokubo is Comrade Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro.
APC and it's sympathizers keep losing the confidence We Nigerians earlier had on them as a credible opposition to PDP, but it's getting clear everyday that with all the lies, fabrications and propaganda that keep emanating from APC politicians and followers.........APC is desperate for power and is not the kind of opposition we Nigerian yearn for.

Ok, but was that Asari Dokubo, NDLF militant and gunrunner in the picture or not?

harizonal123:
Op u r very very stupid for carrying wrong information. U need to get your head reexamined

My friend, what is wrong with you? Am I the one you should insult or the source I got it from? Take your time o. Mumu

ba7man:
Hmmmmmm...........Somthing's fishy with these guys. .............It stinks.

Perhaps he was trying to preach and convert them, you never know.

I don't know how true this story is, but these pictures are funny shaa, when Jonathan was not in power and they did not have oil money.... true true poverty na bastard!!!

Arva:
U guyz shouldn't troll here o. Chylo is ur best friend and u like each other passionately.

uhh... no

The complex saga revolving CAN President Ayo Oritsejafor’s purported involvement in the South African arms deal scandal has taken a new twist with his connection to Niger-Delta militant warlord Asari-Dokubo under scrutiny.

On Wednesday, Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged that Asari Dokubo was on board the plane belonging to Oritsejafor that illegally ferried US$9.3 million to South Africa for the purchase of weaponry.

“If these arms are meant to fight insurgency, as the government has claimed, what is Asari Dokubo’s business purchasing arms for the Nigerian military, if indeed they were for the military? Does it not occur to the Nigerian government that this man who once took arms against the state may not have jettisoned his sinister plan against the same state,” the statement read.

This was followed by an old picture reappearing on social media purporting to show Oritsejafor smiling with Asari Dokubo and Mohammed Yusuf, the late leader and instigator of Boko Haram. “Can anyone tell me what could ever be the relationship between a perceived man of God and two militants,” the picture was captioned.

Dokubo immediately and vehemently debunked the claim of his involvement. In several video messages posted to his Facebook page, Dokubo called for Lai Mohammed’s arrest, describing him as a disgrace to Islam and a ‘pathological and award-winning liar’.

“Presently, I am in Saudi Arabia performing my Hajj as the Amirul Hajj of Bayelsa State and this can be confirmed,” he emphatically stated in a telephone interview. “The evil they wish me will be visited on the home of Lai Mohamed forever,” he added.

Additionally, Comrade Rex Emojite Ekiugbo Anighoro, a close associate of Dokubo and spokesman of Niger Delta People Salvation Front (NDPSF) Worldwide, claimed on Facebook that he was actually the third party in the controversial picture, not Yusuf.

He however acknowledged the closeness of Dokubo and Oritseajfor, stating that they had been compatriots for over a decade. “May we also state that Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo Asari who has been close to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor for over a decade stands with Pastor Ayo and can boldly state that he cannot be involved in any way with shoddy deals nor anything that could tarnish the good image he has built over the years,” the Facebook post added.

Oritsejafor has been accused of ‘politicizing’ the Christian Association of Nigeria since the beginning of his tenure. Calls have come from several quarters for Oritsejafor to step down in the wake of the damning allegations, campaigners for such including former CAN President Cardinal Okogie and controversial cleric and presidential aspirant Chris Okotie.

philantoxx:
well if my amiable president decides to declare his assets its a good thing.but if he dosent cnpp can go blazes.I think his meekness is d leverage some irrelevant groups have in calling my president out.

My friend, keep quiet. He-goat.

manutdadex:
nobody is happy wit d way d country is....but all am sayin is we shud quit complaining and stop d blame game, watch any man dat complains alot closely and u will c dat He is a problem even to himself, wat abt we doin wat we ought to do as citizens and let d government do theirs. Doin ours include as students we shouldnt cheat in exams and nt inflate ur tuition fee, as kids wen u re sent to buy maggi, dont say u but it N5 each wen its sold 3 five naira and as civil servants getting to work at wen due and nt turn d ur office to a gossip or biznes center, as contractors nt using sub standard materials for execution of projects and xtrain and islamic clerics should nt quote d Holy books to ur own favour or collect tithes to live large y ur members live in abject poverty...i can go on and on, all am sayin in short is, Nigerians need to stop dis acts of missconduct, indiscipline etc and dat Nigerians are corrupt frm d gatemen at our homes to d least member of d family and yet we blame Gej for our problems..solve d corruption in ur family and u will save this a lot! If u are so concern abt d state of dis nation u will knw dat d changes we are clamourin for can only b achieved by each and every one of us as an individual, den as family , den as aws, den as a comunity den up to d top.

Ok, if you had said this, its even better than how you said we should leave Jonathan because Nigeria problem did not start from him. I don't agree with this argument, but its still better. Thumbs up.

manutdadex:
damn...i understnd u..u hate him. Well dont let ur hatred cloud ur reasoning...of all d tins u listed, tell me d one wey start for him head

I dont want to call you a fool, but just because it did not start with him, does it make it acceptable? Why was he elected then, if he cannot change anything from how he met it? Is his job there to be collecting salary and looting only?

What exactly is his job in Aso rock? This is the typical backward ethnic reasoning of many Nigerians. SO you are OK with how the country is now?

RevDesmondJuju:
look at OP's list again before rushing to comment trash you gullible fool

My friend, don't you know that stealing is not corruption? Common stealing, everybody will be shouting corruption, corruption.

Nonsense. This is disgrace to Nigeria, he is meant to be number one, maybe they didn't count our $20 billion missing oil money.

barcanista:
sorry bros, I'm not daft. That Paper was written in 2005 when Jonathan was deputy governor. It was clear that Mr. Akpan of the University of Uyo was the owner of the work(though they make it appear as team effort). Pl§ what Ýear did Jonathan lecturÉ in Uniport? Because the said "Àbstract" addressed him from Bayelsa Government house(whÍch is not an academic environment) rather than Uniport(an academic environmenty)

What about this one?

http://www.ajol.info/index.php/tzool/article/view/52080

GEJ paper on "Breeding seasonality and population dynamics of the catfish Schilbe mystus (Schilbeidae) in the Cross River, Nigeria". There are so so many sef. So your arguments are moot.

First of all, you were arguing that there is not a single paper existing with his name, now you are arguing he did the research from government house. Hate always blinds people to truth. I'm may not be a fan of his government, but I do not deny truth when I see it.

omenka:
Look at the highlighted point and you would understand what I'm talking about. Trust me, it is not possible for a Lecturer with a PhD not to have AT LEAST a SINGLE publication.

Or are you trying to tell me the president NEVER published an article during his stay in the academia??

This is some serious issue that musnt be treated with levity. It is high time we started asking some of these sensitive questions.

Omenka, Barcanista, what about this one?

GEJ paper on "Diet of African killifish Aphyosemion gardneri (Aplocheilidae) in a Nigerian rainforest pond"

ISpiksDaTroof:
You think "paralyzed from shock" means you go into an epileptic fit? Please, you're obviously a waste of my time. You win. Can you keep it moving now?

Well, whatever be the case, all we both have done is simply conjecture because we do not know for sure. You have your opinion and I have mine, no reason we can't be civil about it. Cheers.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Usually, if you have no idea what you're talking about its best to keep quiet.

I would give you the same advice. You don't know as much as you think you do. Do those people in the videos look like people paralysed from shock?

ISpiksDaTroof:
At that point your practically in shock, have given up hope and your body is basically in paralysis. If you were ever unfortunate to be in the same boat, you'll act the same way. It's not about bravery or cowardice.

Nope. Shock does not explain the victim giving an interview or speech to the camera in a very calm manner. My guess is either they do cooperate for a chance, even a slim chance of being spared, or they do it to avoid torture or other worse form of slow terrible death - like being buried alive.
