She got the particular of the female husband practice slightly wrong,but the thrust of her post is mainly right. In the old days,no one cared about your sexuality or whatnot.Just be useful to the society, is all they cared about. Even now,in rural Igboland,that still hold sway. |

Politics / Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Dhugal: 7:51pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa:INEC didn't say that,read the report again. That was the hope of a presidency official, in the hope to tie the implementation of the law in law courts till elections have come and gone. Again,setting dates of elections is different from ordering sequence of elections. Setting dates is the sole prerogative of INEC. Making laws ordering sequence of elections, timeframe of election petition and the like,is the sole prerogative of the National Assembly. Stop having the two confused. |
Politics / Re: Presidency In Grand Plan To Abort New Order Of Elections by Dhugal: 2:11pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
Proudlyngwa:The INEC is the sole authority,constitutionally,to appoint dates for election,but they do not have the power to determine election sequence. That is the forte of the NASS,which they've rightly done. Dates can only be appointed following a sequence, and that determined by the Electoral Act. BTW,that wasn't what your post which I quoted was talking about.Don't try to wriggle out of it by throwing up shiny objects. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Nigeria Needs Electoral College System by Dhugal: 9:26pm On Jan 26, 2018 |
We already have a form of electoral college in our electoral system. To win presidential election in Nigeria, a candidate must not only win highest majority of votes,but must also win 25% of valid votes cast in 24 states and the FCT,to be declared winner.Otherwise, the election goes to a runoff between the winner and the candidate with the largest spread,I.e 25% in most number of states. Same is applicable to gubernatorial elections too,viz a viz 25% in 2/3 of the local government areas constituting the state. This is to ensure that populous states/LGs alone do not determine who wins election for an executive position under the constitution. 1 Like |

To win presidential election in Nigeria,one must first win the popular vote, and win 25% of the vote in,at least 24 states and the FCT. You guys should get yourselves educated and stop spouting nonsense. There's no such thing as geopolitical zones recognized in the CFRN, 1999 as amended |
Politics / Nigeria And The Spirit Of Biafra - Emeka Maduewesi by Dhugal: 9:21pm On Jan 15, 2018 |
Nigeria and the spirit of Biafra . Last week, the Nigeria Army took delivery of five MFI-15 Safari trainer aircrafts from Pakistan. The MFI-15 were made by Saab of Sweden. If I tell you the story of MFI-15 aircraft you will either laugh or be in shock. . In May 1969, the Biafran Airforce engineers, with the help of a Swedish mercenary called Carl Gustaf von Rosen, converted Swedish built Malmő MFI-9 civilian trainer aircrafts into what they called MiniCOINS - Miniature Counter Insurgency. They were popularly called Biafran Babies, with capacity to carry significant loads of ordinance. . The converted airplanes were effective. They were uaed by the Biafran Airforce to strike Nigerian airfield at Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin and even Lagos, destroying some number of Nigeriia's expensive MiG-17s and Ilyushin II-28s. The first MFI-15, developed from the Biafran design, had its first flight on the 26th of February, 1971. The success of the Biafran Babes evoked the interest of the original manufacturers. That was how MFI-15, the aircraft that Nigeria imported from Pakistan last week, was born. The Swedish made CDK are assembled in Pakistan as the Mushshak. . The first picture is Carl von Rosen about to take off in the Biafran Baby. The second picture is one the MFI-15 Nigeria imported from Pakistan. The third picture shows the five MFI-9 of the Biafran Air Force at Uli, 1969, while the fourth picture is the five MFI-15 of the Nigerian Airforce 2018. . What Biafra made in 1969 under war conditions, Nigeria is importing from Pakistan in peace time, 2018. . Now you may laugh or be in shock. https://mobile.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156066918855909&id=773930908&refid=7&_ft_=qid.6511371830140969120%3Amf_story_key.-7862095051859427758%3Atop_level_post_id.10156066918855909&__tn__=%2As-R |

CaptainJeffry:Because this is Nigeria where anything goes. Where you can do,undo and redo,so far as you have friends in high places. The first judgement debt from a Federal High Court in Ibadan is valued at 2.4b.The Court of Appeal upheld that,and the Supreme court threw out GTB's appeal on grounds that the case was won suspiciously. The second,but more important one was adjudicated on by FHC,Awka awarding Innoson 4.5b against GTB,with 22% interest per month.The Court of Appeal also upheld that.Case is now at the Supreme Court. Cumulatively, GTB is owing Innoson about #10b now,and they want to come for the man thru the backdoor A report on the cases,from 2015: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/innoson-slams-n30-billion-suit-on-gtbank/amp/ Also https://www.premiumtimesng.com/promoted/248936-innoson-vs-gtbank-no-application-issuance-bench-warrant-innocent-chukwuma.html More links http://innosonmotors.com/innoson-vs-gtb-priceless-lessons-young-upcoming-nigerian-entrepreneurs-part-2/ http://innosonmotors.com/innoson-vs-gtb-priceless-lessons-young-upcoming-nigerian-entrepreneurs-pt-1/ 96 Likes 15 Shares |

CaptainJeffry:Innoson is not owing the bank,rather the bank is owing him,after several court cases and two Appeal Court judgements upholding his claims against GTB. They're now trying to fraudulently frame him for forgery of documents with which he took the loans in the first place.Loans he'd already repaid and been overdeducted,which gave rise to the cases in the first place. 160 Likes 13 Shares |

There's something this girl and her supporters don't seem to understand,freedom of religion and religious expression also have the corollary of freedom from religion and religious expression. Nigeria is a constitutional secular state,and the judiciary being the guardian of that constitutionalism,should not only be neutral, but be seen as neutral at all times.That Lady Justice,is not only blind to status,circumstance of birth and whatnot,but is also very blind to religion or the lack of it. Also note,constitutional provisions on rights are not absolute.Same Constitution approves of situations or circumstances where national or institutional laws,rules and regulations may regulate the application of those rights,as is this case,or even abridge/breach them temporarily for the good of the larger society. If special provisions is now made for hijab,as Muslims and AB Mahmoud,are pushing,then consequential provisions would be made for the traditional religion practitioners, nuns,priests and monks too. The end result would be the chaos which the current rules already prevent. From a nairalander: cooljoe: 60 Likes 4 Shares |

Ajimobi only formalized it more,by giving them the Oba titles. I wonder why some other members of Olubadan-in-Council were included though.The Council members weren't this rebellious under Obas Odugade and Arapasowu,makes one wonder if the allegations against the current Oba has some truth in them.
