PoliticsRe: UK Set To Return $900m Alamieyeseigha’s Loot To Bayelsa by cooljoe(m): 8:06pm On Nov 29, 2017
Hedonistically:
Let's be empirical. What was Bayelsa's total monthly allocation, 13% derivation, and IGR during the 6 years that Alamco held sway as governor?
I'm talking de facto - how it is and not de jure - how it's meant to be. oya, my dad was a commisoner den, himsef nd d serving senator, lokpobiri. nd I knew hw much pop c saw. t.o was jst ordinary transport officer of govt house,Not d whole state o, and two years into d administration, he was celebrating 1billion naira cash. we stayed at d extreme of govt house, Nd u nid to c wat t.o does wit money. so believe me u, back den, nd even now a billion dolz is notn to steal in 4years let alone 6years 4 a gov in an oil rich state like bayelsa

Always entertaining when I come across the Nigerian version of your specie.
"learned", "Unlearned". Do yo guys still do that bombastic Latin show off thing grin?

It is so 19th century.Seriously even the wig and gown are on the way out in other places grin
Substance over form.....

Yes you need to educate yourself in Effective use of language. It is too early to be throwing citations randomly.

What is it you are trying to say? Let us be clear on that.

My point is that Native Law of inheritance is an established part of our jurisprudence especially in testamentary matters where the deceased dies intestate and that Native law in Nigeria has well established jurisprudence .It is not "a custom" as you suggest but several customs and traditions across different parts of the country. Some have been tested successfully or otherwise and the findings in those trials only clarifies the Jurisprudence of "native law". It is not immune from the iterative process that applies to conventional law.

So what is YOUR POINT?


It is only when we are clear what we disagree on that you may start citing Akpos or whatever. For now that is just self indulgent exhibitionism
u sim to lack d ability to read and understand. I didn't say native law doesn't apply. yes it does and can apply only nd only if d tests are past - d example u gave about a yoruba native law won't draw any water cos ts repugnant to principles of equity, fairness and good conscience. rather than "educate" yourself, u started talking about "repugnance" like somtn non-existent when it's in fact trite law. tell me u talking law when u don't know jack about it. Cos knowing dose test r pretty basic jst like s1(1) of CFRN. enjoy d rest of ur day. we are done here

I am talking about the law. I don't know what YOU are talking about but there is plenty of case law in Nigeria all the way up to the Supreme Court on Inheritance under Native law and custom.
Our law is simple: If you do not want your estate adjudicated under Native law and Custom then MAKE A WILL.

What is repugnance test? Please talk another thing.That one has no sense in it.
Some people love amala and others do not .That is why we have law.
Native Law is just that: Law ,in Nigeria. if you do not know then educate yourself
Only recently the Supreme Court made a pronouncement on female inheritance in Igboland so Native law Jurisprudence is quite strong in Nigeria
Lolzz. I should educate myself. I think I'd do that. but what I did tell u is actually d law. in ol matters be it inheritance or not, for a custom to apply, it has to pass d aforementioned tests. c d case of Joshua Ohai v Samuel Akpomonye. You can also check s.14(3) of the Evidence Act. that is the position of the law and your "unlearned" opinion and silly manners won't change it.

I am not sure what is dishonourable. Culture and tradition is not a thing to pick and choose when convenient. If you don't want this to happen then make a will. If a man dies intestate in Nigeria his estate is subject to Native law and Custom. e.g in Yoruba land a woman does not inherit her husband's property only his children do . Without going into so much detail native law varies from place to place and if the man is a Muslim Sharia law prevails. Under sharia law there is a formula for sharing.

before a custom is applicable t has to pass d repugnance test -It must not be repugnant to principles of equity and natural justice; it must not be against public policy and it should not be against any operating law in force. so indeed, culture nd tradition is a thing to pick nd choose ds days. if ts nt sensible, ts discarded.

Is this the so called 'new project' and 'pursuing his dream' that EFCC said he was embarking onhuh
Everything was just euphemism(cover up) by EFCC to protect his image...
As far as I am concerned,he was sacked by EFCC...
His tweets were really unprofessional,take it or leave it...
You can't see CIA of USA or other international Anti graft agencies tweeting about banal issues like Arsenal FC top four finish,use of English,wizkid vs Davido,Paul Pogba's hair style,Ronaldo vs Messi etc.
but we can see their president tweet "covefefe"
