3rd GOAAALLLLL!!?

With this kind of win of a team like Tanzania, no team will fear Super Eagles in this tournament.

South Africa 3 : Rwanda 0

We almost gifted them a second goal here!

They should just score the second goal in time. SE is not reliable on one goal lead. Nwabali self is not dependable.

Now, they have relaxed after one goal and allowed Rwanda into the game.

Technical glitch again! Professor Mahmood Yakubu, is that you? You have a case here.

The website of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) crashed after many Nigerians tried to register as members of a new opposition group.

On Friday, a user posted that the site stopped working because too many people were trying to join what they called a “rescue coalition.”

IntelRegion confirmed that the website went down because it could not handle the large number of people visiting it. The party has not yet released an official statement about the problem.

This happened just two days after the ADC was announced as the main platform for Nigeria’s new opposition alliance. The group plans to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

A Facebook user, Unclè Anass Dukura, said he kept getting error messages when he tried to access the site. He added that too many people were visiting at once, which the website was not built to handle.

The coalition was launched on Wednesday in Abuja with many top politicians in attendance. Supporters include former Senate President David Mark, ex-Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Other politicians at the launch were former APC National Chairman John Oyegun, ex-Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, Dino Melaye, former Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung, media mogul Dele Momodu, Senator Gabriel Suswam, Senator Ireti Kingibe, former Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, and retired Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

The ADC was first created in 2005 as the Alliance for Democratic Change. It later changed its name to the African Democratic Congress when it was registered by INEC.

Yes, the court has the right to stop the Senate Committee from probing Senator Natasha, based on its power of judicial review and its responsibility to address potentially unlawful or unconstitutional actions. The final legitimacy of this decision will depend on the details of the case, which would be clarified through further judicial proceedings. This is an interim order, meaning it is a temporary measure while the court further reviews the case. This is a common judicial practice when there is a need to prevent potential harm or injustice before a final ruling is made.
This intervention does not necessarily mean the matter is fully resolved. The Senate could appeal the decision, potentially leading to a broader legal dispute about the balance of power between the judiciary and the legislature. For now, though, the court's authority to step in aligns with its role in upholding the rule of law and ensuring that legislative actions comply with constitutional and legal standards.

Going to Google AI chat to copy and paste a matter you obviously has no knowledge about is something else.

The Court cannot interfere in a matter that arose out of the internal affairs of the Senate or any Legislative body. The Constitutional principle of separate of powers dictates that. Why any arm of government is acting within its constructional functions,no other arm of government can stop the function. In this case, the Committee''s duty to look into issues that arose during the plenary or sitting of the Senate.

The only way the Court can come in under the principle of checks and balances is to subject that function or action of the Senate to review, after the action has been completed.

That is what judicial review is all about. Judicial review does not prevent or restrain an action of an arm of Government from being carried out; it only subjects the function to review after it has been done, whether it is legal or done according to law and due process. That is why it is called 'review', which means being viewed or reconsidered again. It is not a judicial 'pre-view' that would have been to consider an act before it it is done.

histemple:
Have you seen the prayers thereof?

Can any institution probe a matter that is already before a court of competent jurisdiction?

The matter that the Senate Committee is to sit upon arrived out of an internal matter within the Chambers. And the matter was referred to the Committee by a resolution of the House. It is all about the Constitutional function of the Senate. So, it cannot be restrained by any court. Such action can only be subjected to judicial review afterwards.

ccollins:
thats not true

Then, tell me what is true. You may refer me to any previous incident when the court has restrained any legislative arm of government, either National or State, from performing its functions.

No Court has the power to stop the Senate, the House of Representatives or any sub-group thereof from performing any of their Constitutional duties. You can only go to court to challenge the outcome or result of such duty.

Natasha is digging her hole deeper than it is.

The security guys behind mama and papa Kumuyi don't look heaven-concious.

That was one of the security men attached to him by the Government of the country he visited recently for a crusade. He just finished a gospel preaching tour to Australia and the island countries of Vanuatu and Solomon Island .

As soon as he arrived at Vanuatu,he paid a courtesy visit to the Prime Minister and also the President of the country. The guy you see was one of the security aides provided for him at his arrival.

As a matter of fact,the Prime Minister and his entire cabinet members attended the gospel crusade all through.

Government takes over prosecution of Kwara corps member who allegedly raped varsity student

By: The Point and Timothy Agbor, Osogbo

The Osun State Ministry of Justice has taken over the prosecution of the case of a 29-year-old member of the National Youth Service Corps, Fasade Ezekiel Adesoji who allegedly raped a female undergraduate of Osun State University, Osogbo.

The Criminal Investigation Department of the Osun State Police Command had arraigned Adesoji, who is currently observing his one year NYSC in Kwara State for allegedly forcing the student to bed when he left Ilorin where he is serving to Osogbo.

Adesoji was arrested by the Police in February 2024 after allegedly committing the crime.

The female victim (name withheld) was said to have gone to Soji’s room behind Nawarudeen Primary School, Oke-Baale area, Osogbo Local Government Area of the state to put some fruits in his fridge when Adesoji, who is her neighbour, forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.

The Point gathered that the student lives off-campus and had gone to Adesoji’s apartment with her friend on the night of Friday, February 16, 2024.

After the two ladies got into the suspect’s place, the victim’s friend reportedly left the room immediately after plugging her phone to attend to other things but before she could return to check her phone, her friend had been screaming in the room as Adesoji, also known as SOJ, allegedly raped her twice.

The corps member, who was said to be serving in Ilorin, Kwara State, but often visits Osogbo, allegedly threatened to kill the victim with a bottle if she fails to allow him satisfy his sexual desire.

It was further learnt that the suspect refused to open his door when neighbours were banging it repeatedly and trying to rescue the female undergraduate.

According to a witness account, it was after a vigilante officer in the area visited the defendant’s apartment with a gun and shot into the air, that the suspect opened the door and freed the victim in the wee hours of Saturday, February 17.

A team of policemen later arrived at the scene and arrested Soji.

The police docked Adesoji, a Microbiology graduate of Igbajo Polytechnic on four count-charges bordering on rape, indecent assault and unlawful detainment of the victim at an Osogbo Magistrate’s Court.

The charge indicated that Adesoji allegedly raped the lady on the 16th day of February, 2024 at about 9:00pm at Oke-Baale area, Osogbo, indecently assaulted her and also detained her against her consent with purpose of forcefully having her carnal knowledge.

According to the charge, the accused person committed offences contrary to and punishable under Section 2(2) of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law of Osun State 2021; Section 32 of the Child’s Rights Laws of Osun State 2007; Sections 360 and 361 of the Criminal Code Cap 34 Vol. II laws of Osun State of Nigeria 2002.

A perusal of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law reveals that a convicted rapist risks life imprisonment.

However, Adesoji pleaded not guilty to all the counts. His counsel, L. O. Akinwande prayed the court to admit him to bail and assured that he would make available reliable sureties. He informed the court that Adesoji is a serving Corps member in Kwara State.

The prosecution did not object to the bail application.

Magistrate Oyindamola Daramola had granted the accused bail on the sum of N500, 000 with two sureties in the same amount.

She said one of the sureties must be a homeowner while the other must be a biological parent or sibling of the defendant who must bear the same surname with him.

When the matter was mentioned for hearing recently, a counsel from the Osun State Ministry of Justice, Clement Tanimose announced to the court that the ministry would be taking over the matter from the police for prosecution.

Consequently, Magistrate Daramola ordered that the police should hand over the case file to the ministry.

We should avoid these fouls we are committing close to our box.

esemes256:
The goal scorer got red card
Misses next match

Rara o, it's next tournament he is going to miss!🤣

Beverlyjean:
Ivory Coast is truly a cat with 9 lives

They are now a cat with 18 lives!

Miraculous win again for Ivory Coast!

MT:
Rope-the-dope technique as seen in boxing.

If they had gone home on 3 points, if Morocco's win against Zambia had not given them that life line,you would have known they were not 'doping any dope'.

leathalbeast:
Cote divoire has nine lives mehn...

If Cote d'Ivoire eventually win this game,then their lives would increase to 18 lives.

OlofofoCorner:
You don't seems to get it, where I am coming from.
Playing against Ivory Coast again is not a good sign......it is better we play against another country South Africa, Cape verde or Mali.

The only team it is possible for us to meet in the final is Mali. We can only meet either South Africa or Cape Verde in the semi final.

Emma1Oj:
Angola will still qualify

Yes,as a best loser into AFCON 2025.

Goaaaalllllllll

O God, please help Zaidu today.Save him from mistakes and errors.

Nigeria should avoid corner kicks as much as possible. That's one of the areas strength of the Angolans.

Thank God for that safe by Nwabali. Angola would have scored us 1 goal by now!

And Senegal misses!

Beverlyjean:
After we played ivory Coast 1.0, don't forget they were embarrassed by Equatorial Guinea 4.0... while Cameroon were played like kids against Senegal.... those are the 2 teams we are bragging about ... Angola will be our first real test.... don't forget we dint top the group cos we cudnt beat Equatorial Guinea and even struggled against Guinea Bissau

So, Nigeria is not Angola's first real test,abi?

betshopagent:
Senegal defeated Cameroon with 3:1 while Nigeria defeated Cameroon 2:0 Which is even better result because we did not conceded even with abubakar. So what's your point?

Cameroon didn't have a single shot on target against Nigeria, self.

Beverlyjean:
U really don't understand how football tournaments work... beating ivory Coast don't mean we can beat any of those teams playing now .... can't u see their game play and tactics have changed from the one we played

But Angola beating every other team means they can beat Nigeria, right? What about Nigeria, haven't our game play and tactics improved on the one we played with Cote d'Ivoire too?

Princedapace:
A typical Nigerian, always talking down at other countries. It is not easy to play a host. SE had an own goal against them. So, chill.

Which own goal are you talking about?
