HAH: Anywhere the American go into has never been the same, Iraq is still a war zone, they are now regretting rebelling against saddam hussein, when saddam was Iraq president there were no terrorist in Iraq, baghdad was more of a western city, they went to Iraq in pretext of fight against weapons of mass destruction, non was found there only motive was oil and they got a lot and extremist took advantage and created a monster organization ISIL.
The same script was played on the Libyan by the west, Libya was better than a lot of European nations everything was ok, now Libya has been reduced to a jungle where about 5 government exist, every warlord is a government in his territory, now Libyan are regretting there action of rebelling against Gaddafi.
The same script was to be played in Syria but was blocked by Russia and China at the UN, the west in collaboration of nations that promote radical Islam i.e Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE financed some rebel and extremist group to topple the Assad government but Assad with the help of Russia and Iran has resisted them so far, just imagine how they destroyed their country just to unseat a single person as president,. Another hypocrisy is when those that were feeling the heat of war started fleeing Syria their neigbours that sponsored their rebellion could not take any refugee, they have to trek 1000s of kilometers to Germany to seek asylum.
Hypocrites go watch the history of saddam, then you will reverse your story. Gaddaffi, Saddam, e.t.c provided materialism for the people, but the people lives in absolute terror, were mass murder was carried out daily. I better choose to work hard for my daily living with absolute freedom than to live in a dictatorial regime of Gaddaffi and saddam |

jeremyliness: Bribery Allegation: In Defence of Amaechi, Morality and Common Sense
By Nkechi Odoma
[s]Blackmail is another weapon Nigerians deploy to flaunt their innocence whenever they are at threshold of being nailed on any issue. Most times, the manner Nigerians resort to blackmail stands logic on its head, twist morality and offend laws of the land.
Although, several Justices in Nigeria are under investigation, but the case of the two embattled Supreme Court Justices John Iyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta’s whom the DSS raided, arrested and detained for alleged judicial corruption has assumed an asinine twist.
Conspiratorially, the duo rushed out in public domain to heap allegations of attempts to corrupt them by former Rivers State governor and Transport Minister, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
They mindlessly lashed out at Amaechi whom they accused of providing the grounds for their persecution for refusal to tinker with some governorship elections petitions before the apex court. They funnily want Nigerians to believe the refusal to be negatively influenced by one person forecloses the chances of accepting same request from another person.
Justice John Iyang Okoro started it all. Precisely, on October 17, 2016, he claimed in a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, (CJN) Justice Mahmud Mohammed that he rejected the offer of Amaechi to influence Justices to alter verdicts on the governorship tussle in favour of APC in Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Abia states. The Justice expressed strong conviction that his present travails may not be unconnected with his snubbing of Amaechi’s request to tamper with the verdicts. And that he made a verbal report to the CJN on February 1, 2016, about Amaechi’s visit to his official residence.
“In that report, I told you my Lord that Mr. Amaechi said the President of Nigeria and the All Progressives Congress mandated him to inform me that they must win their election appeals in Rivers State, Akwa Ibom and Abia states at all costs,” he enthused.
Less than 48 hours after Justice Okoro’s publicized allegations on Amaechi, another embattled colleague also under the heat of DSS over judicial corruption mouthed the same allegation. What separated the two were the states involved- only Rivers and Ekiti states guber disputes.
Justice Ngwuta’s allegations were contained in a letter dated October 18, 2016, also addressed to the CJN. Lamenting his several unfriendly encounters with Amaechi, the Justice reeled out series of mindboggling issues, including alleged threats he received from Amaechi.
Interestingly, whatever problem the accused Justices have with the DSS is strictly their burden to resolve. But the hasty roping of Amaechi into their dilemma with the DSS based on such hazy recollections and projection of the abnormal belittles their status as Justices of the apex court.
By the submissions, it is quite discernible the judges have advertised issues intended to raise a podium to rubbish and blackmail Amaechi; except that they are poorly scripted in timing and factuality.
First, from the files of the DSS and the EFCC, at least 15 judges at various layers of the Judiciary are under investigation currently for alleged judicial corruption. The submission of Justices Okoro and Ngwuta in the letter to the CJN is forcing a baseless impression that the remaining 13 judges too could have possibly turned down Amaechi’s overtures to influence verdicts in their courts and thus, his invocation of “harassment” from security agents? It cannot be true.
And lets hypothetically agree that President Buhari is an interested party in any of the governorships disputes in the mentioned states, under litigation at the Supreme Court, but everyone knows it’s impossible for him to delegate Amaechi to influence any judge at his behest.
Ideally, he would rather parley with the CJN directly expressing his interest in the cases and it ends it all. But if he cannot condescend to the level of the CJN, the alternatives are clear and Amaechi is not in this reckoning by any stretch of imagination.
To further water the impression of the DSS’s arrest and detention of the Justices as vendetta for their refusal to compromise justice, the wailing Justices speak as if the Director-General of the DSS or the Chairman of EFCC take directives from Amaechi, so with his snap of the fingers to settle a personal grievance, the security agents rushed after the accused Judges.
But the Justices, especially those on the Bench of the Supreme Court are the final destination in the interpretation of Laws of Nigeria. Like the River State APC Chairman, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya averred in a public statement, the Justices should know better that the giver and taker of bribes commit criminal offences under the Corrupt Practices And Other Related Offence Act 2000.
These learned Justices had the opportunity to brighten Nigeria’s perception of Buhari’s anti-graft war by publicly clipping the wings of Amaechi who sought to adulterate their verdicts with bribes. But they reneged; waited for months to be accused of judicial corruption before they remembered their uprightness or vow not to desecrate their sacred oath of office. These are tales far from the truth.
Additionally, a very senior Judge like Justice Ngwuta as disclosed in his distorted epistle to the CJN was threatened by a politician like Amaechi who came to his house and said ‘we shall see’ several times,” and he kept mum?.
It is conceivable that a Supreme Court Judge would bury obvious threats to his life and would not even document it with the National Judicial Council (NJC), but merely inform the CJN verbally. Is he saying the NJC forbids members of the Bench from taking legal actions against violators of their rights or when their lives are threatened?
It brings the matter to the doorstep of another realm of reasoning. Almost all the raided, arrested and detained judges are alleging innocence and judicial persecution by the Presidency. They have also qualified the raids of their houses, arrest and detention as illegal and unconstitutional. It implies the DSS and its principals have infringed on their fundamental human rights as Nigerians.
But they are unprepared to explain to Nigerians what is restraining them from challenging DSS action in court, if they are convinced of their innocence. Or are they implying that laws governing the NJC also forbid Judges from seeking legal redress over personal injuries or infringements on them by individuals, government institutions or the government itself?
These Justices should go back to their factory of doubtful tales and bark out something more convincing to Nigerians. For now, their rehearsed fables with the glaring intent of blackmailing Amaechi nay the FGN to inspire public sympathy has failed to impress anyone and hit the rocks.

Nairaland General › Beggars Invade ATM Cash Points In Ibadan by comos(op): 9:21am On Oct 24, 2016 |
Customers in some banks in Ibadan, Oyo State, have expressed fear over the invasion of the Automated Teller Machines in the areas by beggars.
Our correspondent learnt that in Dugbe, a business district where several banks are located, beggars waited anxiously at the banks’ cash points to receive alms from customers who withdrew money from the ATMs.
The beggars on Sunday were also observed in some of the banks in the Ring Road area, where customers appealed to the bank managements to ensure safety by ridding the cash points in the areas of unknown people who posed as beggars.
While some of the beggars were women with babies, others were young boys and girls, as well as middle-aged men with various forms of physical challenges.
A bank customer, Arowolo Sheriff, said, “It is pathetic that the managements of banks would allow their customers to be embarrassed by beggars. The beggars are in almost every bank. They wait for you to withdraw money and then approach you for alms, even at night.
“Most of the time, the ATMs dispense high denomination like N1,000 and N500. If I withdraw N5,000 for a purpose, will I give out N1,000 to a beggar? There is nothing wrong in giving alms, but being harassed by beggars is a breach of our security system.”
A trader in the Gbagi area of Ibadan, Agnes Adetunji, said she withdrew more than N100,000 from the ATM each time she wanted to pay her suppliers, adding that it was possible for informants to pose as beggars and give information to robbers.

Politics › Re: Withdraw Bribery Allegations Against Amaechi Or Go To Jail–APC Warns Okoro by comos: 3:25pm On Oct 20, 2016 |
DONSMITH123: [s]The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has given Justice Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court seven days to retract his bribery allegation against Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, or be ready to go to jail for flouting the Corrupt Practices And Other Related Offences Act 2000.
Justice Okoro, who is one of those under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for corruption, had alleged that Amaechi specifically visited him and asked that the governorship appeal case of Rivers State be delivered in APC’s favour.
But Amaechi denied the allegation, saying the judge concocted the claim in order to politicise the issue of his arrest.
However, the state chapter of the party wondered why Amaechi or anybody attempt to bribe Justice Okoro for an election upturned by both the Tribunal and the Appeal Court?
The Chairman of the state Chapter of the party, Davis Ibiamu Ikanya, in a statement berated Justice Okoro over his allegation as contained in his letter to the National Judicial Council, NJC.
According to Ikanya, “One does not need a soothsayer to see that Justice Okoro is very confused and thinks that by mentioning the name of Amaechi in his letter, he would deceive Nigerians and play down the gravity of his sins and crimes against Rivers State people and Nigeria as a whole.
“If we may ask Justice Okoro, why should Amaechi or anybody attempt to bribe him for an election upturned by both the Tribunal and the Appeal Court? An election widely condemned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the international community and both local and foreign observers who monitored the shambolic exercise in the course of which over 200 of our members were slaughtered like chicken just to install Chief Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in power at all cost?”
The party further threatened to invoke the provisions of the Corrupt Practices And Other Related Offences Act 2000, which makes failure to report bribery or a bribery attempt a crime that attracts both a fine and a jail term.
“For failing to report the fictional bribery attempt by Amaechi, Justice Okoro has committed an offence that attracts up to two years imprisonment. We are hereby giving him one week to retract his worthless and satanic letter and apologise to Amaechi or we may be forced to set in motion a machinery to invoke the Corrupt Practices And Other Related Offence Act 2000,” the party said[/s].

Please nairaland help me ask the Honourable Supreme Court Justice..... which of the appeals is he referring to in Abia state because it is on record that the APC candidate in Abia state Governorship election, Dr Ayim Nyerere did not appeal the tribunal judgment of Justice Bwala which struck out its petition at the Appeal court nor the Supreme Court.

The decision comes six days after the House of Representatives decided to probe the incident.
The House had on Thursday last week summoned the Director General of the DSS to the chamber to explain why the secret service invaded their homes and arrested them.
The Senate, which had earlier condemned the action, on Wednesday decided to invite the affected judges for further investigation into the matter.
The Chairman of the committee, Senator David Umaru, made the probe known during the plenary on Wednesday.
He said the panel would work on the report by the National Judicial Council on the issue.

eyinjuege: Well, most men that don't want wahala will let their wives know how much they earn, otherwise the expectations will be too much. Most people assume you earn more than you actually do and make unreasonable demands. If as a man your salary isn't so great, and you can hardly keep up with payments, you had better let your wife know and face the reality. Her expectations and demands won't be unreasonable, and within your salary scale. Some men even hand over their salaries to their wives. She supplements it with her own to run the house, pay household bills, school fees and all what not. Though if you earn so much monthly, you can still get away with not letting her know cos you can always meet all demands. In fact, you see some really rich guys who live moderately, drive small cars, stays in a nice but small apartment who don't like an ostentatious lifestyle. Their wives will even be pitying them that they're demanding too much, not knowing they're wealthy . But all in all, its a good idea to let your spouse know your earnings so you can all plan your spendings wisely. She knowing how much you earn doesn't mean she's gonna be in charge of your finances especially if you don't trust her spending habits. That is when man's slavery commences |

LocalChamp: Posted By: Yusuf Allion: October 18, 2016 [s]A judge is under probe for allegedly collecting from a senator N30million bribe.
He stuffed some of the cash, which was in United States dollars, in his shoes and walked barefooted to his car.
The senator complained to the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) being led Prof. Itse Sagay.
Also yesterday, it was learnt that most of the nine arrested judges had petitions against them with the National Judicial Council (NJC).
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, is said to have the list of judges to be investigated in the last five months.
Although the list was shown to some legal authorities by the CJN, no action was taken by the NJC, a source claimed.
PACAC has about 50 petitions sent to it against some judges by some aggrieved Nigerians,
One of the said complaints came from a senator who alleged that a judge demanded about N50million from him to influence a case but he paid N30million.
The money was delivered to the Court of Appeal Justice in dollars.
But following the senator’s inability to pay the balance of N20million, the judge gave judgment against the senator, it was alleged.
A source said: “The senator told us that the judge asked for N50million but he could only pay N30million and lost the case for not meeting up with the balance.
“He said when the judge came at night to collect the bribe, he stuffed every available space and went to a ridiculous extent of stuffing some of the money in his shoes. The judge then decided to walk barefooted to his car.
“We have the complaint against the judge and the senator is ready to testify because the judge did not refund the N30million to date. The government is going to see to the logical conclusion of this case against the judge.”
Asked to name the judge, the source added: “The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), disclosed the name of the justice at a session with the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) to underscore why the bench must be rid of bad eggs. The NBA has been briefed, let them also talk.
“This is to show that the government is transparent about the whole process. It is not a witch-hunt at all.”
The highly-placed source gave insight into the arrest of nine judges and how the operation was conducted.
The judges are Supreme Court Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro; the suspended Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, Justice Mohammed, Ladan Tsamiya, who was picked up in Sokoto; Justice Adeniyi Ademola( Federal High Court); the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court; Justice Muazu Pindiga (Gombe State High Court); Justice Bashir Sukola and Justice Ladan Manir, from the Kaduna State High Court.
The source added: “In fact, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed has had the list of some alleged corrupt judges in his possession in the last five months. The list emanated from his office and anti-corruption agencies. But the NJC did not do anything.
“About 60 per cent of the nine judges under probe have petitions against them before the NJC. The records are there. Nigerians should ask what has become of this petition.
“Take the case of the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; he had more than three petitions against him. If the petitioner had not been steadfast, the Judge would not have been sanctioned by the NJC.
“The allegation of N500million bribe against Justice Pindiga was actually made a “dead-on-arrival” by a Petition Review Committee of the NJC.”
Unknown to most of the judges arrested, the Department of State Services(DSS) video-taped every details.
The source added: “The DSS is ready to tender the video clips in court. In fact, some of the judges will be shocked by the professionalism of the security agency.
“The clips have already been shown to a few lawyers to prove that due diligence was followed. We hope the court will allow the prosecution to show the clips during trial.
