The Judiciary turned it into a Banana republic by getting involved in what their powers do not cover. Thus that Court ruling is null and void. Our constitution is very clear on this.

Stop this your argument please. There is a clear line of separation of powers between the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary.

The Judiciary is a tout in this regard and that Judge who gave that ruling should be either sanctioned or disbarred.

The example you cited above has nothing to do with the Legislative arm of government. That is a party problem

I hope he goes on to add tangible value to society. That is what really counts.
In Nigeria, we are too fixated on the clout rather than the substance "first person to score 9As in waec", " youngest person to completena PhD" , etc. But we are not producing, we are not innovative, we are not creating. We just want to brag.
Personally, I don't care if he is 17 or 40. What matters to me is what value his ICAN can add to society.

Heard from a reliable source that 85.774% of the passengers are security details.

IGP can't be foolish enough to allow Bandits use first lady's head play football.

Nice declaration from the British prime minister. COVID-19 is a scam.

THE United States and the British Government have turned down a request by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to send representatives to observe the his trial holding at the Federal High Court, Abuja Division on January 18, 19, and 20.

While the US said it was limiting its employees from attending public gatherings, the UK explained that it does not normally attend a court case involving a British national.

The US Embassy and the British High Commission said these in separate responses to inquiries from The PUNCH on Friday.

Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had last Wednesday, written to the US and UK missions in Nigeria, stating that the presence of their representatives would ensure a fair hearing for his client.

The IPOB leader is facing a seven-count amended charge preferred against him by the Federal Government.

The letter titled, ‘Request for delegate(s)/representative(s) to observe court proceedings …In Re: Charge NO. FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, Federal Republic of Nigeria V. Nnamdi Kanu’, read in part, “May we, gratefully, please, request you to send representative(s) to observe the proceedings of the court on those adjourned dates and on any other date to which further proceedings in the case may be adjourned until the matter is disposed of.

“The need to ensure that our client is given a fair trial has compelled us to make this request. The instant request is compelling in the circumstance, to ensure that the whole process of our client’s trial is fair and just in all circumstances. It must be remembered that his purported indictment on criminal charges has a political undercurrent.”

Ejiofor argued that the FG has a profound interest in the criminal charge pending against his client and the outcome of his trial.


Join Nnamdi Kanu's case against Nigeria, IPOB American lawyer writes US
But the US Mission, which disclosed that it is following the trial closely, declared that its officials would not attend the court.

It stated, “The US Mission Nigeria is following the trial of Nnamdi Kanu closely. The US Department of State is limiting employees from attending public gatherings.”

In its response, the British High Commission acknowledged Kanu’s status as a Briton, but stated, “The FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) would not normally attend a court case involving a British national, but where we do consider it appropriate to attend, our consular staff would do so in an observational capacity only.”

When asked to clarify if the commission would send observers to the trial which begins on Tuesday (today), the British High Commission’s spokesman, Dean Hurlock, said, “We can only offer you this as our response.”

If Nigeria were a sane country dis are the sort of candidates that would be taken serious but we all know there's nothing sane about dis country. Elections won't be contested and won on twitter

exactly my thought it's between him and Osinbanjo. however if it goes to amaechi it means APC will win 2023 with a landslide, because they have removed PDP Strong base being the SS/SE. NC will go to amaechi while the core north will split because he has focused his projects as transport minister there. An Osinbanjo against a northerner in the PDP then PDP stands a chance but an amaechi against a northerner in the PDP then it's game over for the PDP
