If i understand your point clearly, then I suggest you go and study Israel geographical map and see how the are landlocked by foes yet succeeding succession.

South Sudan sir..

Use the same google and see what's going on there.Bro!you funny oooooo.South sudan?If that's what you prayed for,I reject am for you oooo.

IGBOPRINCE:
people like you shouting landlock have not being to the east.
There re three mighty rivers in the east they will soon dredge soon.

One is obuagu river in abia state, the other one Is imo river in imo state, the third is river niger, the most popular river which I think you must have seen in the tv cos your people don't like travelling at all.

To me that landlock is stale news by now.

There re countries without rivers or seaports and they re surviving
So definitely,biafra will surely survives cos we re not from a lazy tribes, we believes in human endeavour or development.

So take it or leave it.
Our minds is made up, with or without the denials.

It seems you didn't get this.Wish I could tutor you this morning.I own you one.

menix:
Those re tales told to discourage us..
Have u asked urself why FG have refused the Dredge River Niger

When u talk about Landlocked, kindly help urself with google to find out the world has numerous Landlocked countries yet they survive.....

You mean countries that secede from parent countries?Tell us.

mazeltov:
why? Haba!!.

He deserves it.

Abbykem:
Goodmorning boss

Boss?I hear you.Your night?

mazeltov:
tell 'em - biafra will be worst than sudan!! They should forget about dredging of river Niger, it's not gonna work.

Bro!They didn't consider a lot of things before clamouring for biafra.Do they think that all those who own business shattered in Nigeria will support such move?They thought South south will joined them not knowing that they won't.South east don't have much natural resources to cater for them.Let's say they succeed,Do they think that people won't come out and fight for the post of a president?There are lot of things they need to be told.I tell some of my igbo friends some don't know what they are clamouring for.Let mi rest my case.

Abbykem:
He gats no choice here. He should accept all criticism with open arms

Definitely.He gat no choice.Good morning.

Ikengawo:

Biafra is all we ask...


Signed;
End Time Pikin..

You are only mentioning Biafra.I doubt it if you know what that mean.Go and study what isbiafra and what it entails.You will be shocked.A country within a country?You guys will be landlocked.How will you survive?

They ain't needed to be told.A year old baby knows.Their undoing is pride.We can do it alone,not knowing that no tribe can mount the president post alone.You gat to lobby.

chukwudi44:
Wrong headline!!!! The sanction on the Judge was imposed by the NJC.The president cannot take such decisions without the NJC.

This is what hatred and sentiment do to one's life.You can't comprehend what you just read.Na wa oooo.

stexsy:
Did they carry out any investigation?

Bubu the joker

I don't know how you just want to be known stupid.Must you be this foolish?Did you read the news at all?I wonder how your life will be.

PiperAlpha:
Can't believe some people would stoop so low to throw jibes at Op's fiancee. This is really unfair! People should know they can hurt one's feeling with the words from their mouths. This is why I will NEVER bring my personal issues to Nairaland. Different strokes for different folks.

The most important thing is that op has found the flesh of his flesh and the blood of his blood. Be happy for them and shove your opinion about the fiancee's age up your a55.

Congratulations op. wishing you a prosperous marriage, and please do treat your wife to be well oo, cherish her, support her dreams and love her for who she is.

I doubt if the Op's lady won't curse some people here.We know that this is a public forum but we should watch the way we post comment here.God bless the union.

Abbykem:
I can't stop laughing here. Funny comments. You guys sha.

Same here.Some people gat bad mouth.I deyf ear for the op.I pray he's strong enough to stand these comments.

mrlaw93:

Mad man.LOOL

Fine is okay.

Let mi look into the future.I see high number of suicide committed in certain part of this country in the next 2years.With the rate they keep wailing unreasonably.

Xetima:
Ibe or Buhari, you LIE. You do not have the right to force me to sell my wares. I chose to sell when I like. Do you order market women to sell their Garri or do you order Buhari to sell his cows?

This is not a military regime as such you cannot threatened people with your authoritarian approach. Flood the market with fuel and see if marketers will resort to hoarding.

NASS should WARN this government that we are in a DEMOCRACY

You are a baboon.Next time,make sure you understand the kind you go into b4 you ran into problem.In as. Much Govt pay subsidy,you are no longer the owner of that biz.Make them try am and see. Olodo.

This lawyer must be high on cow's urine.

Bobbystanley:
Boko Haram would be eradicated in two months.

So they said.

That's what you get when a desperate power seeker without plans and strategies become your President.


Change Ko,Balance ni

Lives were lost and all you could do is to politicise it.I pray you be the next victim.

Can you imagine a litigant walking up to Supreme Court
Justices in the middle of a trial and handing the justices a
check to halt a pending case that the Appellate Court had
decided should go to trial? This is exactly what the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, did to temporarily halt his case at
the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) scheduled for a hearing
on November 19th, 2015.
SaharaReporters (SR) in its lead story Thursday, November
12th, 2015 stated that Justice John Fabiyi led four other
Supreme Court Justices in halting the trial of Mr. Saraki
pending the determination of Mr. Saraki's appeal before
them. According to SR, “...Toyin Sanusi, one of his [Saraki's]
aides, drove a Black Toyota Corolla car, license plate YAB
595KZ, to a meeting several times with the Supreme Court
registrar at No 17 Mandela Street in Asokoro, Abuja. It was
at this house that Mr. Saraki's agents reportedly met some
justices.”
On Friday, November 13th, SR carried a follow-up story
detailing the process by which the Supreme Court deputy
registrar helped cut a deal to halt Mr. Saraki's trial.
“SaharaReporters learned that a Deputy Registrar of the
Supreme Court, Hajio Sarki-Bello, played a key role in
facilitating a decision by a panel of justices of the apex court
to temporarily halt the corruption trial of Nigeria's Senate
President Bukola Saraki.”
SR further reports that “... Mrs. Sarki-Bello... arrange with
few ethically questionable justices to quickly hear Mr.
Saraki's case and grant him a temporary reprieve from the
ongoing trial at Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Our sources
disclosed that the deputy registrar at the Supreme Court met
several times with Toyin Sanusi, a former aide to Governor
Ahmed Abdul Fatah of Kwara State who now works for Mr.
Saraki in Abuja, to cut the deal for the embattled senator.”
“Our source described Mrs. Sarki-Bello as extremely close to
former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Alfa Belgore, who had been
anchoring the attempts to bribe justices to halt Mr. Saraki's
trial at the CCT. Our judicial sources said Mrs. Sarki-Bello,
who hails from Niger State, was promoted from level 9 to
level 16 between 2006 and 2007 when Mr. Belgore was the
Chief Justice of Nigeria.”
The Supreme Court panel that temporarily halted Mr.
Saraki's case included Justices Suleiman Galadima, K.M.O.
Kekere-Ekun, John Inyang Okoro, and Aminu Sanusi. It is
instructive to note that Justice Fabiyi is reputed for
rendering purchased verdicts in favor of powerful
politicians. He was the judge who reversed PDP's Bode
George case after a deal was struck. He was the same judge
who declared late President Umaru Yar'Adua the winner of
the presidential elections. Yar'Adua later admitted that the
elections were rigged.
Mr. Saraki's case is a complicated corruption stature with
moving parts. With his legal options running out, Mr. Saraki
widened his shopping frenzy to buy Supreme Court justices.
Corruption in Nigeria's court will disgust and frighten you
and propel you into a world of racketeering, greed, larceny,
outrageous disdain for due process, the Rule of Law and the
Nigerian Constitution.
It is a bleak irony that the Supreme Court of a nation is
awash in “dark money.” The coming and going of Mr.
Saraki's case like Abiku has become a notorious symbol of
money and power in our judicial system which gave
corruption a central place. It's not always that Barbarians
usually bring down advanced civilizations, even epidemics of
Biblical proportions do not necessarily destroy a culture. Far
more dangerous are institutionalized corruption, a lack of
transparency, and creeping neglect of criminal laws.
Nigeria continues to be in the cesspool of corruption
because government works for only those who pay
kickbacks. Only politicians who stole our money and the
stinkingly rich Nigerians can expect upward mobility, clean
water, adequate public safety, and reliable power. In
Nigeria, tribalism and bribery determine who is hired and is
fired, who gets prosecuted and convicted, who wins or loses
a contract, who receives or goes without public services.
Nigerian people are sick of these age-old symptoms of
internal decay.
The frightening thing about the Supreme Court of Nigeria,
it's not that it is stacked with cheap biddable justices – buy
one get four free – who are willing and ready to truncate a
corruption case against the chief lawbreaker of Nigeria, but
that it assumed no one would find out, or perhaps even
mind. Ultimately, no nation can continue to thrive if its
Supreme Court refuses to enforce the laws of the land but
rather offer its justices for sale to the highest bidder.
Nigerians are angry. Why are some highly placed
lawbreakers like Mr. Saraki selectively exempted from
following the law, but ordinary Nigerians face the wrath of
the legal system? If Mr. Saraki succeeded in buying off the
Supreme Court justices, it means the justices are breaking
the law from inside. The case gives another clear example of
how injustice and arrogant corruption are tightly woven and
embedded into the fabric and body of our judicial system.
An article written by the US Supreme Court Associate Justice
Louis Brandeis published by Harper's Weekly in
1913 characterized the actions of justices like Fabiyi and his
four colleagues as “...the wickedness of people shielding
wrongdoers and passing them off (or at least allowing them
to pass themselves off) as honest men.” The one question
that kept coming to my mind as I continue to write and
observe Mr. Saraki's case was if Mr. Saraki was a poor
Nigerian would he be able to abuse the legal system for so
long and get an undeserved reprieve from the law? The
answer always returned to me as “No.”
I'm not a lawyer. I'm a journalist. But I know the Code of
Ethics in the legal profession insists that all judges who are
officers of the court and arbitrators, avoid even the
appearance of impropriety and must remain impartial. Mr.
Saraki's case continues to dominate the headlines with
appalling news stories of expanding crisis of corruption
among Nigerian judges. The deepening despair of Nigerians
about their own legal system is fueling frustration and
criticisms of the judges.
A lot has been revealed by Mr. Saraki's case that Nigeria's
legal system resembles that of a banana republic. Nigeria
judiciary has become a sink well of secret dealings sullied
with documented corruption, fake trials, and court fraud.
The Nigerian judicial corruption is a key to understanding
Nigeria's whole socioeconomic and political crisis.
Human Rights lawyer and activist Femi Falana does not
disappoint. His thoughtful and thought-provoking article on
the illegality of stay of proceedings in Saraki's case
published yesterday by SR is a solid piece that illuminates
the subject of the unending trial of Mr. Saraki. Citing the
provisions of sections 306 and 396 of the Administration of
Criminal Justice Act, 2015, Falana argues that “... the law has
abolished stay of proceedings and interlocutory appeals by
merging all preliminary objections with the substantive case
in any criminal case instituted in a federal court in the
country.”
“The evolutionary intervention of the law,” continues Falana,
“ was occasioned by the unending trial of politically exposed
persons in corruption cases.” In a penetrating and insightful
analysis citing numerous cases, Mr. Falana blames Justice
Fabiyi for the stay on Mr. Saraki's case. Listen to Mr. Falana:
“Therefore, any judge who orders a stay of proceedings in
any criminal trial does so illegally and is liable to be
sanctioned by the National Judicial Council. It is
unfathomable that the Supreme Court decided to return the
country to the status quo ante in rather brazen and bizarre
manner.”
Fabiyi's decision to stay the proceedings of Saraki's case at
the CCT is inherently dangerous to the health of our
democracy and for justice to thrive in a country badly
riddled by corruption.
In order to control things for the benefit of the rich and the
powerful like Saraki, Nigerian judges act like perverts with
regard to average Nigerians. They lie, rob, cheat, steal, and
destroy any mere Nigerian. With the expose done so far by
SR on Nigerian judges handling Saraki's case, the Nigerian
judges operate like criminal gangs. They get together to
decide which case to halt or dismiss outright.
The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the Constitution –
nothing more and nothing less. What the Supreme Court
says and does has a broad effect on the values and long
term direction of our society. The Supreme Court has a
special power to rise above corruption, bribery, mean-
spirited stereotypes. The Supreme Court should lead the
way in interpreting the Constitution and upholding justice
for the highly and the lowly, the prince and the pauper.
But “the Emperor has no clothes!” The Supreme Court has
been stripped naked by the SR investigative reports and the
illegality of its ruling brilliantly exposed by Falana. The
Supreme Court is boxed in. The nation is waiting and
watching. Let Saraki's case begin NOW!

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has revealed that it imposed fines on all mobile phone operators in country over the non- compliance with its SIM deactivation directive. The regulator said it fined Globacom N7.4 million, Etisalat N7 million, Airtel N3.8 million and MTN N102.2 million. The fines, imposed in August 2015, were paid by all the telcos apart from MTN, Tony Ojobo, the NCC director of public affairs, said in a press statement on Monday. MTN later got a fine of N1.04tr for not deactivating 5.1 million unregistered lines. Although the statement was silent on the fate of MTN which has until midnight on Monday to pay its fine, Ojobo recounted the events that led to the imposition of heavy sanctions on the largest mobile operator in Africa. He said: “Following the sanctions placed on MTN Nigeria, by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), members of the public have expressed diverse interest as to what actually transpired. “The fine was a result of violation of Section 20(1) of the Registration of Telephone Subscribers Regulation of 2011. “Section 20 (1) of Registration of Telephone Subscribers Regulations 2011 states that: “Any licensee who activates or fails to deactivate a subscription medium in violation of any provision of these Regulations is liable to a penalty of N 200,000.00 for each unregistered but activated subscription medium.” “The fine of N1.04Trillion on MTN Nigeria by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) was done in the interest of the public which has been at the receiving end of security challenges. “Consequent upon the overwhelming evidence of non- compliance, and obvious disregard to the rule of engagement by MTN, the NCC had no choice but to impose the sanctions. “MTN, in a letter of November 2, 2015 admitted the infraction and pleaded for leniency. The Commission has acknowledged this and is looking into their plea without any prejudice to the fine. The fine remains but the appeal and other engagements with MTN may affect the payment deadline. “The fine that was imposed on MTN was the second within two months after the operators were given a seven-day ultimatum to deactivate all unregistered and improperly registered Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) Cards. While others complied, MTN did not. “On August 4, 2015, at a meeting of all the representatives of the Mobile Network Operators (MNO), with NCC, major security challenges through preregistered, unregistered and improperly registered SIM Cards topped the agenda after which Operators were given the ultimatum to deactivate such within seven days. “On August 14, 2015, three days after the ultimatum expired, NCC carried out a network audit, while other Operators complied with the directive, to deactivate the improperly registered SIM Cards, MTN showed no sign of compliance at all. “Please recall that four (4) Operators, MTN, Airtel, Globacom and Etisalat, were sanctioned in August for none compliance of the directive to deactivate the improperly registered SIM Cards. MTN got a fine of N102.2Million, Globacom N7.4Million, Etisalat N7Million and Airtel N3.8Million fine. Others complied while MTN flouted the fine. “Based on the report of the compliance Audit Team, an Enforcement Team which visited MTN from September 2 – 4, 2015 wherein MTN admitted that the Team confirmed that 5.2million improperly registered SIM Cards were still left active on their network; hence, a contravention of the Regulations was established. “Consistent with the Commission’s enforcement process, MTN was by a letter dated October 5, 2015, given notice to state why it should not be sanctioned in line with the Regulations for failure to deactivate improperly registered SIM Cards that were found to be active at the time of enforcement team’s visit of September 15, 2015. “On October 19, 2015, the Commission received and reviewed MTN’s response and found no convincing evidence why it should not be sanctioned for the established violations. “Accordingly, by a letter dated October 20, 2015 the Commission conveyed appropriate sanctions to MTN in accordance with Regulations 20(1) of the Telephone Subscribers Registration Regulation 2011, to pay the Sum of N 200,000.00 only for each of the 5.2million improperly registered SIM Cards. “The statement further averred that: In order to ensure proper identification of telephone subscribers with their biometric data and in line with international best practice, the Commission came up with a framework for the registration of telephone subscribers in Nigeria. (Nigerian Communications Commission Registration of Telephone Subscribers Regulations 2011). “The above Regulations were developed with the full participation of all key industry Stakeholders including all Mobile Network Operators (MNO) in 2011. “The Commission on its part has a statutory responsibility to monitor and enforce compliance to the rules. More so, when national security is at stake.” Source: https://www.thecable.ng/.Vkn4GWlZ4W8.twitter

Chubhie:
I'm not one given to complaining. I demand answers and actions to a social contract we signed with PMB. I hate when people fail to accept responsibility and pass the buck. I'm only holding PMB to his words.

Okay bro.I feel you.Do have a nice day.Cheers.

Chubhie:
I think it would be a lil difficult having to examine PMB without the arguments leading back to GEJ. Maybe in 2 years time we can then be able to critically examine him with all excuses exhusted.

Hmmm.I will be waiting but stop complaining of this govt base on your comment.

Chubhie:
This is a philosophical question on if the glass is half filled or half empty. I can argue that APC has failed woefully in the few months it has stayed with verifiable facts....... Like the pot belly of most men in the greatest shape of their lives and in terms of securing lives and properties. Boko's body count is there for you to examine.

State your facts and let's discuss.Thanks.
