Agboriotejoye:
You're presently displaying truancy common with a nuisance.
I suggest you be quiet forthwith.

Look at this late coming backbencher? Silence should be your watchword as elders are deliberating

fergie001:
It was his case and not to be joined to a substantive suit.

What I am saying is that the Polytechnic openly calling the man's Certificate a fraud invited the SC.

In Nwosu's case...it was statute-barred and Constitutionally cannot be entertained, but they entertained it because of the obvious illegality.

If there is any illegality, and these days especially forgery, the SC don't usually forgive that ...time-barred or not.

Gbam,gbagam

Agboriotejoye:
I agree with your last line. Though that of uche nwosu was double registration and the judgement was given to bar him from seeking to be joined in a substantive suit. I don't see the similarity with this case. I'll need glad if you can show me

If obaseki is guilty of forgery at any time,the case of time elapsing cannot set him free my boy

fergie001:
I also don't know how familiar you are with the APP v Uche Nwosu case;
This is a case that is statute-barred.

Inyang Ekwo, the Federal High Court judge stated:
“It must be said that an illegal or prohibited act does not become legal by virtue of being time-barred,” the judge added.

SUPREME COURT
Justice Augie said, ”The appellant cannot be allowed to benefit from his own iniquity. The action is not caught up by limitation of time. This case rest on the issue of illegality and this court cannot be used to enforce illegalities. This appeal is hereby dismissed.” (Augie, JSC)



This cannot catch up with Obaseki because of the vindication he has met from DW-2.

Whatever we are saying here is for the purpose of information.

Guy,I fear you.as a lecturer,your students will fly

fergie001:
It is very very possible, unless the case has gone through all the Courts.

In very tight situations, foreclosed cases are even opened.





Look at one of the Judges' comment here;

There is evidence that the first Respondent presented a forged certificate for the 2011 Election, and in answering NO to the question have you ever presented a forged certificate to INEC.

He gave false information to INEC in its Form CF 001, and the Appellant did what he was expected to do in the circumstances; file the Suit against him and leave it to the Court to determine whether the information is false.

The trial Court determined the question in his favour, however, the Court below obfuscated matters when it went beyond the question to draw the distinction between the 2011 and 2015 General Elections and come up with an extreme view of the standard of proof required. (Amina Augie, JSC)

You are three much

fergie001:
I do but it hurts a judge to see his case thrown out by Superior Courts.
So, they are indeed careful.
Obaseki is more IN than OUT, since UI confirmed.
So to the Judge...which side should I tilt to!

Am not looking at ui but the 2016 case

fergie001:
I don't.

Why? You know lower courts are easily swayed

Agboriotejoye:
What about you? Where are you?
FYI ize iyamu is disqualified. Go and wet your pillow with your tears.

I am still basking in the massive victories of apc over pdp in almost all foras.I am inundated with joy so you that rarely experience a win in pdp can revel in tears.since you dont have a pillow,use a bin rag

fergie001:
I sent you a NL-link
..I based it on that date.

I see the judge ruling against him.its supreme that's the koko

Agboriotejoye:
Thank God you know where you're from. Unfortunately you got me confused for your neighbor.

Obaseki is going down boy.

I don't know when it came up but Vanguard says it will expire midnight Saturday.

You said July 17 once

Agboriotejoye:
Yeah. I remember I cured your ignorance.
Don't mention your thanks.

If he committed forgery in 2016,he will be removed my boy.you can return to your yabaleft abode

Agboriotejoye:
Yeah. I remember I cured your ignorance.
Don't mention your thanks.

If he committed forgery in 2016,he will be removed my boy

Agboriotejoye:
Do you believe too, that a document submitted in 2016 and for which there's no judicial prouncememt of being a fraud can be used in a 2020 case?

I thought we settled this yesterday

fergie001:
182: No person shall be qualified to the Office of a Governor of a State if:
(j)he has presented a forged Certificate to INEC.

I don't think so....the key witness here is DW-2.That is why it is difficult.

I have seen a case where a Gov in Nigeria had a Date of Birth (issued by NPC) different from the age on his NYSC Certificate of Exemption & Voter's Card...The Supreme Court said the Issuing Authority confirms.

Tbvh....I don't see it going the way of the Plaintiffs (considering the past and how this kind of cases have gone).

The witness is not key but documentary evidence proving forgery.I think the lower courts will remove him while the apex may save him

fergie001:
Saturday.
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2021/01/alleged-certificate-forgery-obaseki-to-know-fate-january-9/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Oga,let's calculate it on our own from July and see when it will elapse

AgainstIslam:
From my layman's point of view, I think the bone of contention is not whether Onaseki graduated from II or not but that there are discrepancies in the results he submitted to INEC and they have a valid point.

But from my observations of court proceedings, I think Obaseki will come out victorious.

You are contradicting yourself .from the bolded,he is gone

fergie001:
Yes, if there is a need to.
It is a pre-election matter and has an expiry date which is midnight of Saturday, so there is really no choice for the Judge.

I thought its 10 or 13 or 14

fergie001:
Exhibits by PW5
Photocopies of the affidavit and documents he submitted in 2016.

That may be obaseki's undoing

Igbosmoker:
the court will visit that too.

Was any evidence adduced to that effect

Indispensable85:
Documentary evidence was done on that. Not oral

I hope so

majamajic:
Tinubu and Oshomole should rest na

They should forget Edo state, let them go ebonyi

How does it concern them? Why didn't Dickson rest and leave Lyon?

Igbosmoker:
Saturday is just next tomorrow, less than 48 hours. Wow.

Last year November, I looked at the judgement day like it will take ages but here we are.

What do you think of the case as a whole?? How sure are you?

Its 50 50.I dont know why apc did not hammer mainly on his forged affidavit of 2016.

solmusdesigns:
I think he is angry that Obaseki took his court's jurisdiction and right to hear the case to Appeal court, he also wants to beat the 180 days clause of the electoral law


.

The supreme court has even refused to look at his watery appeal

cktheluckyman:
justice will be duly served but it will not be what you are expecting. The APC failed woefully to prove its case

Saturday is not faraway my boy

solmusdesigns:
Ghen ghen

The judge really tried to speed up and give the case accelerated hearing while keeping civil cases in abeyance.I commend him for that and hope that he dishes out justice

jlinkd78:
I hope and wish Obaseki d best of luck

I wish him badluck

yinkus6750:
What did he do for Bayelsans throughout his eight years tenure that merited his retirement to the Senate?
Let justice prevail.

Very useless governor who imposed a useless diri

Nemere2020:
...Court orders re-assignment of case to another lower court's judge

The Court of Appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has ruled that a former Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson, has a case to answer in a suit seeking to disqualify him from contesting the concluded Bayelsa West Senatorial election.

The three-man panel of the court also disagreed with the Federal High Court’s decision to dismiss the matter saying the judgement of the lower court was wrong.

The panel presided over by Justice U. Onyemenam, ordered the suit to be reassigned to another Federal High Court judge.

The Appellant, Owoupele Eneoriekumoh, had through his lawyers, Pius Danba Pius and Ebikebuna Augustine Aluzu approached the Court of Appeal seeking to set aside the ruling of the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa.

The court in Yenagoa presided over by Justice J. Inyang, had dismissed the case, but the appeal court on Thursday agreed with the appellant lawyers after faulting the judgement of Inyang.

Justice Onyemenam held that the lower court dismissed the matter in grave error.

Dickson, who had been sworn in at the National Assembly to represent the Bayelsa West, had been compelled by the judgement to go and open his defence at the Federal High Court.

The Appellant is seeking Dickson’s disqualification and removal from the Senate.

Fergie,where are you? I saw this coming.justice Jane inyang deserves to be called a corrupt, rascalised and roguish judge.I knew the appeal court will disturb her useless ruling..
But after some thoughts,I feel that the appeal court made a mistake.they should not have sent the case back for retrial since the case is time bound and since Dickson did not file a no case submission.they should have gone ahead to look at the substantive matter and deliver judgment based on the merit.justice Jane inyang must be sanctioned by the njc,she's worse than okon abang...cc kahal,mosdii,bayelsaowei,obuksbayelsa,fergie,unigrad,cktheluckyman,aaa569, vicdom

cktheluckyman:
Onu has a better chance of picking the APC ticket than Tinubu.

Stop dreaming.this is not obaseki court matter

I thought it was ayiri emami

Eriokanmi:
No careless talk here. I just said the truth. You know edo na baba for weeds. Dem no dey hide am. South east dey do drugs abroad, some yoruba too. It's only baffling when the north who always claim to be saints are always caught in the web. They claim they don't steal but na dem be baba for stealing. They don't get caught simply because they rarely expose themselves..they'd tell you its government money, and its their brother let him eat and leave. I had worked with them as contractors so I know. I've never seen such promiscuous people like them. They don't practice what they preach.

This reminds me of that former northern governor who almost destabilised obj administration with sharia...political sharia. He said one girl was caught in adultery so she must be stoned to death. The news made headlines globally. Thanks to the international communities. She'd have been long forgotten by now. The same yeye man who later became senator was caught with 3 harlots in the hotel. When asked by press, he first denied it. When the video was played to him, he said he's entitled to his privacy. Hypocrites. Down south, including edo, we know they don't hide it. But up north, they play holy-holy fake religion. I'd lodged in a hotel along the airport road in kano where 5 girls entered same room with 5 boys...I've never seen or heard of this down south before. No be say dem tell me. I saw it with my korokoro eyes. The smoke of cigarette and other stuffs coming out of that room was like that of chimney or factory exhaust. The room was next to mine and I had to complain to the hotel manager the following morning of their illicit , disturbing acts. Same morning, a man came searching the hotel for his newly married wife who was with another guy, she was found there. As I dey complain one mata, naxo another one show face.

They say they destroyed beer parlour in the north , I laffed dat day. If you see where these guys shark alcohol in their closet, you'd pick race. This bokon haram.of a thing is as old as man in the north. They have been hiding these heinous acts for long, because they occupied the power positions in the military for years. Na the same islamist terrorist make my inlaw run commot zaria in the 80s.

Hmmm.true but the lesson and good thing is that they have started the move to do drug test for would be leaders.let the south follow suit
