practitioner: Well,lets leave it for d court to decide.

osakwe okey jr: If u are talking abt coordinate jurisdiction den its a pity u're calling it 'alternate' jurisdiction. And let me ask u: did d section in question say: d most senior judge of d high court or any court of coordinate jurisdiction'?. As a lawyer or law student, do u know d maxim: expressio unius est exclusio alterius? I dnt think u're grounded in law. Go and read, u haven't started

practitioner: It could be politics, or u mean its not possible? I quickly tried to source that piece of news of d nba lending their support, and their reasoning,but I only saw d news and no reasoning at all.I was also able to find out that it was d local branch nba of d state that expressed their opinion on d issue,and that is just what it is;an opinion.

practitioner: Obviously u re forcing yourself to comment on an issue u know little about.

osakwe okey jr: [What d hell is 'alternate abi na alternative jurisdiction' and d explanation of it thereafter?

Are u blind or what? did u read or understand what u qouted?

Smh... Oga, have u consulted d constitution?

what av we been talking about since?

If u say d Nigerian Bar has welcomed d appointment, can u refer us to d source of dis controversial info?

i stay in PH and i listen to news, specifically Rhythm Fm at 7 am and 12noon. NBA Rivers state has already visited the acting CJ and agreed with the decision of Amaechi. that was after the visit of SANs to the acting CJ. Source my asrsee.

Blind argument is only an activity for ignorant pple. U've been refered to an authority- d constitution, d grundnorm. Talk law plsquote

unfortunately, u main problem is putting ur brain to work. u are the ignorant here no doubt.

practitioner: Can u pls explain what u mean by a court of alternate jurisdiction.If u ve any issue with that express provision of d constitution or it seems discriminatory to you,then what u should be clamouring for is its amendment and not trying to twist it to suit u.D fact that am of d opinion that d appointment is wrong,does not necessarily mean am comfortable with d provision,but d fact remains that it is d law until it is amended,and should not be twisted to suit selfish interest. Ur argument on inferiority and discrimination does not hold water. Need I remind u that president of a customary court of appeal is not answerable to d chief jude of a state with regards to matters of that court? Mind u also,there is no provision in d constitution that bars a judge of customary court of appeal from being appointed a chief judge of a state.So what's d rant abt inferiority and discrimination about?

REHOZIBAH: After all said and done...I hope all the charge and bail lawyers would allow us rest

Like Demdem said I believe the principle of 'alternate jurisdiction' and 'lenght of appointment' rather than age-wise seniority informed the decision of Amaechi to appoint Agumagu

berem: You love igbos and you still call them fools? that means you love me and call me a fool! which one should i accept? smh

Lushgreen: @Topic,

Can one person hold the position of a state CJ and Customary court President concurrently?

If not, who occupies the seat of the President of the Customary court of appeal for the three months of Agumagu's absence?

Does section 281 allow for a lacuna?

Lushgreen: If your so-called "reterdeen" makes a bad call, does that give every citizen the freedom to make bad calls? Do you consider this enough justification and a legal precedence?

On your "go to court"statement: If someone comes to your house and rapes your wife, would you leave him to continue in the act while you run to court to seek redress?

practitioner: I wil rather u say kudos to him for doing what is glaringly wrong.That provision is not ambiguous and does not even need d time of d court,which is very obvious to every unbiased person,which I doubt if u re one of them.

berem: kindly go back to that thread and stop complaining. Am not through with you! you need to get your a$$ whipped for that comment of yours or else you cease to be my twin brother.

Demdem: Kindly ban this poster for calling himself a Fool

Bensonite: The retiring Chief Judge was not the oldest(most senior) at the time he was appointed. Against all criticism, Odili went ahead to appoint him leaving the most senior Justice Mrs Membere to her surprise. I think the laws have been amended allowing the NJC to make the recommendations based on seniority in the high court to the Governor after which the state assembly confirms the person. The major challenge now is the assembly is not sitting due to macing et al and the national assembly may take a longer time too when they do thereby creating a gap in the system. Since there cant be a gap, Amaechi seems to be taking advantage of a loophole in the law to appoint his favorite as interim.
Justice Agumagu is of the customary court of appeal which has alternate jurisdiction with the state high court so another argument may arise from there.

4llerbuntu: ARE YOU AWARE THAT IT IS THE [size=18pt]NATIONAL[/size] JUDICIAL COUNCIL THAT RECOMMENDS A CANDIDATE TO THE GOVERNOR AND THAT CHOICE IS RATIFIED BY THE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY (NOW THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IN RIVERS CASE)?
Section 281(1) Constitution 2004 FRN


are u also aware this man's name has been forwarded to the national assembly for ratification?


Are you aware of the qualifications prescribed the the Rivers State Laws for Customary Court Judges? Per s281(3)
You should be able to verify that the man does not qualify under that too before dishing out your "opinions"

I know some states specifically require the President of the Customary Court to be a High Court Judge at the time of appointment.


It may well be that this man is of the same cadre as the high court judges and probably got his earlier appointment because he was the most senior judge following the former CJ of the state.




So is this really a case of "Amaechi" choosing the wrong person??

PDP arselickers sha........ LEARNED IGNORANCE

Lushgreen: Is there any difference between the customary court and the high court?

Kingscee: YOU see your life? Just like this ANIMAL.

telexfree1: You are actually the bigger fool. Most of your kinsmen here are far more intelligent than you are.

telexfree1: You are actually the bigger fool. Most of your kinsmen here are far more intelligent than you are.

berem: Am still disappointed at your comment! Demdem, you fall my hand !

fr3do: did u read the post?

luvinhubby: I thought the last doctor succeeded, or,....oh i see, a relapse, sorry ooo!!

berem: Am highly disappointed in your comment! Later you'll say you are not a bigot. smh.

Anything LASG is doing concerning Igbos should not jeopardize or affect Ngige's ambition to become the next governor of Anambra State. Anambrarians are yet to forget the deportation saga. Most spare parts dealers in ASPAMDA are from Anambra especially Nnewi. Ngige is not from Nnewi. LASG should trade with caution.
