A 46 years old single mother spotted, she had an agreement with her husband to travel abroad for her studies, she needed to come back first, before bringing up the idea of relocating with the entire family.

Newsmills:
Your husband is a jealous god,he is afraid of what an average Nigerian woman can become in a lawful society in which fundamental rights can be jealously protected.Husbands are protected in Nigeria by our protracted laws,and there are ways to circumventing laws in Nigeria.

I believe APC is just clipping his wings until after the elections,APC knew how powerful elrufia can be during elections. He was for APC in 2023,now he is against APC in 2026 onwards. He needed to be pinned down temporarily.

Imagine if our politicians can be bold enough to prove their points like this,I hope this trend becomes a culture in the political spheres, if anyone or group accuses you of any wrong doings, then the accused must release documents and videos to prove his innocence.

The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has released additional documents he said showed his administration left substantial funds in the Anambra State Government’s coffers when he handed over power in 2014.

Naija News reports that the Kwankwasiyya Movement, a support group associated with Obi’s running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, shared the documents on 𝕏.

The development comes amid a renewed dispute between Obi and the Anambra State Government over the state’s financial position when he left office.

The administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo had alleged that the state was still servicing debts and other financial obligations incurred by previous administrations, including those of Obi and his successor, Willie Obiano.

Obi has rejected the allegations and previously released his handover documents, challenging the state government to provide evidence to support its claims.

Reacting to the documents, the Kwankwasiyya Movement highlighted the bank balances in the records and urged Nigerians to verify them independently.

The group, in a post on 𝕏, wrote, “Look at those bank balances very well. The bank officials signed them with their full names and positions clearly written on them.

“Wow! Go and verify. May Peter Obi happen to Nigeria. What a man.

It was a split judgement of 2-1

2 Justices
Mohammed Danjuma (Presiding Justice) & Muslim Sule Hassan JJCA affirmed the registration

1 Justice (dissent)
Okon Abang JCA upheld NDC's deregistration

Fellow Party Members and Nigerians,

Today, the Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, delivered by Justice Isah Dashen a few months ago, which purported to order the deregistration of our party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a judgment delivered by the presiding Justice, Justice Mohammed Danjuma and read by Justice Hassan, the Court ruled in favour of allowing our appeal, which challenged the faulty ruling of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, and accordingly, set aside Justice Dashen’s judgment.

We want to use this opportunity once again to commend the Nigerian judiciary, and in particular, Hon. Justice Danjuma and Hon. Justice Hassan, for upholding the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary and, by their decisions, expanding the sphere of multiparty democratic participation in Nigeria.

We have said repeatedly that the NDC was set up to expand the frontier of multiparty democracy in Nigeria. Justice Dashen’s judgment a few months ago was an unexpected assault on our constitutional right to participate and an attempt to narrow the democratic space.

Happily, today, by the decision of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian democratic space has been protected, and the NDC’s right to participate in all political activities as a registered political party has been upheld.

I congratulate all members and candidates of our great party, the NDC, and thank Nigerians for their prayers and support.

When the unexpected judgment of the Lokoja Federal High Court was delivered, we were bombarded with several calls for sympathy, support and prayers. Today, our collective prayers have been answered.

The NDC continues to exist. Our registration remains valid and subsisting, and we and all our candidates will participate in all elections in 2027 and beyond, by the grace of God.

Everyone should now focus on the campaigns, prepare for the elections, and focus on the task ahead to face the APC and defeat them at the polls.

A resort to arm-twisting, inducing or intimidating the judiciary will not work. We remain confident in the strength of our message, the commitment of our members, the viability of our candidates, and the support of Nigerians. With this conviction, we look forward to the forthcoming elections and are confident that the NDC will emerge victorious at the polls, by the grace of God.

The fight for Nigeria's multiparty democracy continues and by the grace of God we will emerge victorious.

NDC ALL THE WAY✌️

What led to the DNA test,because to me they don't look alike.just being curious

He was an intelligent and smart officer before attaining that position, but he couldn't outsmart aging,he couldn't spy on death in order to avert it.open every thing he died.this situation awaits us all,let's be calming down

When the wind blows the ass of the hen opens,this type of nomenclature is becoming rampant

Those thugs won't be angry at bandits and terrorists sacking their villages and towns.but they will be allowed to be used by disgruntled politicians to constitute conflicts.

Let us assume this man is from the south East

Some people are still struggling to save up to buy 17 pro max while I phone 18 to rumored to come out,lesson,, take it easy in life

That's how campaign supposed to be,friendly, devoid of rancor ,tribalism or bitterness ,note he was only invited for the launch of campaign office.

IS RELIGION REALLY THE OPUIM OF THE PEOPLE? Iam worried to see how easy it is for people to counter the opinions of others in any topic or subject,in Nairaland people argue over issues even without conducting a proper research. But this situation is different when it comes to what the pastors or imams says,people tends to agree in whatever their religious leaders said,is religion really the opuim of the people?
According to Karl Marx
“Religion is the opium of the people.”
What he meant was more complex than simply saying religion is bad. He argued that religion can provide comfort and hope to people who are suffering, much like opium was used as a pain reliever in his time. However, he also believed that this comfort could sometimes make people accept injustice and suffering instead of challenging the social conditions causing them.
In simple terms:
Religion can comfort people in pain, but Marx worried that it could also make people tolerate the causes of their pain.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THIS MATTER.

I don't think it's okay to convert ancestral lands to a private economic venture, these guys should buy land and do their ranching. But if government insists on converting ancestral lands for private economic purposes, i think the northern core have enough land mass.

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum has rejected the Federal Government’s proposed pilot ranching scheme in parts of the Middle Belt, describing it as an attempt to take over ancestral lands under the guise of livestock development.

The forum, in a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by its Chairman, Oba Oladipo Olaitan; President of the Middle Belt Forum, Dr Bitrus Pogu; President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, John Azuta-Mbata; and National Chairman of PANDEF, Amb Godknows Igali, also urged communities and governments in the Southern states to prepare to resist the policy.

The SMBLF said it was particularly concerned that the proposed pilot areas included Nasarawa, Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, Taraba and the Federal Capital Territory.

The group said, “The SMBLF is alarmed by the audacious attempt by the Federal Government to take over lands belonging to ethnic communities in the Middle Belt under a spurious ‘pilot scheme’ being introduced in the name of a New National Livestock Policy.”
The development comes barely days after the Middle Belt Forum rejected the Federal Government’s renewed ranching policy, describing the proposed allocation of land in the region for livestock production as a potential land-grabbing scheme.

The PUNCH reports that the Federal Government has said the ranching initiative is aimed at modernising livestock production, reducing cattle movement and addressing the persistent farmer-herder crisis.

The proposed programme reportedly targets conflict-prone areas including Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kaduna, Adamawa and the FCT, with the Wase Grazing Reserve in Plateau State serving as a pilot model.
However, the SMBLF questioned why the pilot was concentrated largely in the Middle Belt, despite what it described as the availability of sparsely populated land in parts of the far North.

“It is striking that this experiment is being concentrated almost entirely in the Middle Belt, despite the vast expanses of sparsely populated and unused land available in many parts of the far North,” the forum said.

The leaders insisted that they were not opposed to ranching or the development of Nigeria’s livestock industry, but objected to what they described as the “opaque, coercive and discriminatory” manner in which the policy was being pursued.

The forum said, “Ranching is an economic enterprise that is privately driven. The government cannot disguise compulsory land acquisition for specific economic actors as public interest.”

The SMBLF further alleged that the policy could ultimately create permanent settlement zones for nomadic Fulani herdsmen, an allegation the Federal Government and supporters of the ranching initiative would need to address.

“The SMBLF deeply suspects that the true aim of this policy is the creation of permanent settlement zones for nomadic Fulani herdsmen,” the statement said.

The forum also linked its opposition to the history of farmer-herder violence and displacement in the Middle Belt, arguing that communities affected by attacks should not lose additional land to a government-backed ranching programme.

“They cannot be handed the lands of their victims as a reward for their heinous crimes,” the leaders said.

The forum recalled previous Federal Government initiatives, including the controversial RUGA and cattle colony proposals, which were resisted by sections of the country over concerns about land ownership, settlements and demographic changes.

It warned that the current ranching scheme, if allowed to proceed without adequate consultation, could generate fresh tension in affected communities.

The SMBLF also raised legal questions over land acquisition, arguing that the Land Use Act of 1978 should not be interpreted as a licence for arbitrary acquisition of community land.

Under the Land Use Act, land administration involves statutory and customary rights of occupancy, while the law provides for revocation of rights of occupancy in specified circumstances, including overriding public interest.

The forum, therefore, demanded full disclosure by the Federal Government of the proposed ranching sites, legal instruments backing their acquisition, ownership structures, beneficiaries, size of the lands involved, security arrangements and sources of funding.

It said no implementation should proceed until the rights and interests of affected communities were clearly protected.

"Until these questions are answered transparently and the rights of affected communities are fully protected, the SMBLF rejects the proposed ranching scheme in the Middle Belt and the South,” the leaders declared.

The forum warned that it would resist any attempt to seize community lands under the guise of livestock development, while urging Southern states and communities to remain vigilant against any future expansion of the policy.

The Federal Government’s ranching proposal has already generated controversy, with proponents arguing that modern ranching could help reduce farmer-herder clashes and transform Nigeria’s livestock sector, while opponents fear that poorly designed land acquisition could worsen existing tensions.

The SMBLF maintained that livestock development could be pursued without dispossessing communities of their ancestral lands.

“Modernisation must not mean dispossession,” the forum said, insisting that any sustainable livestock policy must be transparent, voluntary where applicable and developed in consultation with communities whose lands and livelihoods could be affected.

You cannot relate,probably because you are still a baby that is being taken care off

Mindlog:
How does your tales by moonlight relate to the thread?🙄

Fear women,keep your wife at home,pay her salary every month, take care of all the responsibilities of the house, she will be loyal to you, but open a business for the same wife and she starts making money of her own,she becomes a monster.
Always maintain an upper hand when it comes to women.

I know some people got disappointed after rushing to this tread to check name

This government abandoned all these roads just to construct a new road by the ocean,which will serve as a conduit pipe to embezzle the common wealth. All these people who had suffered and lost business on this road will still sell their conscience next year and vote in inefficient leaders.

Imagine if this occurred in the south East,operation clearance would have happened.

Is that why he said if the files are released, it was cause him severe and irreparable harm.

Imagine how politics is played in Nigeria, breeding bitterness and hatred, the worse part is that we don't even have a personal relationship with the so called presidential hopefuls.tribalism will not allow us to be objective.

To maintain national unity and cohesion, the north and south agreed on rotation, late buhari just completed northern turn of 8 years. Then why is Atiku contesting now? He would have supported a southern candidate for a single term,then he will have the opportunity to contest later

Nigerians are always quick to respond to matters like this,the president is defending their sovereignty and it's people, but in Nigeria normads are taking up territories and kidnapping citizens. Illiterates are governing professors, yet Nigerians will keep mute.leave other country matters and face yours.

What of our pastors and men of God??I thought God sent them? Churches are busy milking there members when they are healthy and abandoned them when they are sick

I bet,a man must have motivated her to pursue such action, with the promise of marrying her later

We understand his prayers to our president, but note that the former coach will never live in any house given to him in Abuja,he simply wants a building where the value will measure enough worth.because the value of the house in Gwagwalada is low,if his wishes are granted, he will sell off the house and retire in the Netherlands

"POLITICS" a game of who takes what,when and how.a lot of negotiations have taken place behind the scene. The poor masses bears the load at last

This is applicable to other races,I have seen adult white men who cannot read or write,but they speak well,I seen Northerners who speak hausa fluently but can't read or write hausa.this applies to everyone,igbos and yorubas.
