It's both fraud and drug peddling.

Where was drug peddling mentioned in the article..na waoh

Just see the amount of money way go cause person to lose freedom
The way Indian police di like to pose with suspects hein. So funny

When Nollywood was the bedrock of African entertainment. In far off Cameroon each release on VHS cassettes and later VCD and DVD, brought a unique excitement and suspense despite being able to conjecture the end scene of each film, by just looking at the posters .. 😂

On the first cassette I can sight both Enebeli Elebuwa and Bruno Iwuoha of blessed memory. I wonder what became of Chige Alisigwe, the tall talented actress that stared alongside Ramsey in many love movies. She doesn't quite often receive her dues..

Obidients and the Keneth Okonkwo's Address Mischief: When Law Starts Looking Like Optics. by CharlesCNG

There is another angle in this Kenneth Okonkwo versus Peter Obi drama that should not be ignored: the service-of-process controversy.

According to public reports, Obi filed the defamation suit at the **Onitsha Judicial Division of the Anambra State High Court**, even though the alleged defamatory statements were made during a Channels Television appearance and Okonkwo is widely associated with Abuja political circles. Reports also say the court later granted substituted service after Obi’s lawyers claimed they could not serve him personally. The service order reportedly related to an address in Nsukka, Enugu State.

Now, let us be clear: substituted service is legal. Courts use it where personal service becomes difficult. Filing in a state high court is also not automatically illegal merely because the defendant lives elsewhere.

But politics is not only about legality. It is also about optics, fairness and motive.

This is where the matter becomes interesting.

The lawyers involved in this fight are not strangers to Kenneth Okonkwo. These are people who worked closely with him during the presidential election petition season. They know he is not a ghost. They know he is not hiding in one forest. They know he is based in Abuja. They know he has a known public presence and, according to his own side, lives in his own self-built Abuja home.

So why the drama?

Why run to Onitsha High Court for a matter arising from a television appearance, then attempt service in Nsukka, while the man is publicly reachable in Abuja?

That is where the mischief begins to smell.

If this was purely about justice, serve the man where you know he can be found. If the case is strong, meet him cleanly in court. But if you deliberately chase shadows, then allow your online choir to shout “Kenneth is running,” that is not law. That is propaganda choreography.

And this is the typical Obidient optics game.

First, create a service drama.
Then frame the opponent as evasive.
Then let the mob shout “he is afraid.”
Then use the confusion as political content.

But Kenneth Okonkwo is not hiding. He has been on television. He has been issuing statements. He has been practically daring them to face the substance of his allegations.

So the question remains: are they trying to try the case in court, or are they trying to try Kenneth Okonkwo in the court of Obidient social media?

Because if the case is strong, the route should be simple:

Serve him properly.
Face him squarely.
Argue the facts.
Win on merit.

But this Onitsha-to-Nsukka drama, when Abuja is sitting there waving at everybody, looks less like confidence and more like carefully staged optics.

The Obidient mob may enjoy the noise, but serious people can see the pattern.

When they cannot win the argument, they try to win the headline.

If AI was a human. 😂
You are good, very good.

Duplex90:
atiku is not interested in winning lol, I tot vdm opened everyone's eyes to this. There is serious looting behind this election if U don't know. Even obi, yes obi wants to win but if U think he is loosing in these election U are the joker. Do u know how many billions sowore made in these previous elections. U ppl still don't get it it's serious business for these guys lol. When I mean business we are talking in trillions not even billions, there are western bodies that wants tinubu out, all U have to do is position ur self as a contestant, show little proof here and there and these guys will wire u trillions of pounds Sterlings, dey play. It's hard to believe but I just gave you a serious business module

Since you are this wise why are you not contesting?

FAKE SUPER EAGLES FAN.

FAIRWEATHER FAN.

Just as in real life you are a fairweather friend.

The SUPER EAGLES OWE YOU NOTHING.

Do I look like I care..?

The average Nigerian is so toxic and bitter towards the success of others..What a pity!

Kemetian:
Self hater...what else do you know but to feel inferior?

You expect him to build castles in the air as a formula to superiority..DRC beat the super chickens and went on to beat two other teams before qualifying. They earned their spot..Move on...

These ones that we saw on CNN live looting shops..

AngelSlay:
This is one of the reasons strong institutions matter.

In many developed countries, it doesn't matter whether you're a global superstar or an ordinary citizen—if negligence causes serious harm, the courts can hold you financially accountable. The focus is on the victim getting justice and compensation.

Imagine if something similar happened in Nigeria. After years of court adjournments, influence, and endless delays, the victim might still be struggling to pay hospital bills while the case drags on. Many people don't even pursue such cases because they believe justice will take too long or may never come.

No legal system is perfect, but a system where victims can realistically seek compensation and powerful individuals can be held accountable strengthens public confidence in the rule of law.

The lesson isn't about Chris Brown—it's about the importance of building institutions where justice is accessible, timely, and not dependent on a person's wealth, fame, or connections.

13 million for dog bite na justice hein.? Dat means if na Lion?

On a serious note you are definitely right about the case of strong institutions. Imagine paying car insurance for years and yet fully knowing there will never be any compensation incase of an accident; that's the case in most African countries

Then again strong institutions means he could always look for loopholes to delay payments...

Those thieves at World Bank get their own cuts

That's why they keep approving everything, even though the money will be siphoned by criminals in power.

You guys are good at opening large mouths to tag unfounded accusations..Can you proof workers at IMF get their cut? What a nuisance. It's high time you lots start getting whipped for misguided claims..

You shouldn't expect much from the name Phakelumthakathi

The future is definitely human
The day AI will acrobatically and sensually satisfy my girlfriend I will hand them the baton for the future

He'll find a way around it. He wants to stop it by all means.

Trumpy the grand son of German immigrants, with 2 years left to be the President of the USA will find a way around stopping birthright citizenship after it was upheld by the Supreme Court ..You will do well as a comedian..

I rate Nigeria team above Morocco,
I rate Senegal above Morocco


Remove mismanagement, corruption and bad psychology from Super Eagles, no team can beat us easily. The best any team should get is a draw

He was talking of male football..Which Nigerian team exactly are you talking about? Morocco has taken years to build a super squad as evident by their performance both at the last AFCON and World cup. They are also well positioned in the FIFA rankings.

You are here ranking the super chickens above Morocco. Chickens who couldn't top their group in qualifiers and even after a second chance couldn't move pass DRC. A child that doesn't go out thinks the mother is the best cook

prinsam30:
Stop all this thing jor, we all know what weent wrong and besides out of all the good stadiums SA had, they chose to play the match in a condemn pitch

You spoke like a typical average Nigerian. Blaming others but yourself for your own failures.

Him never stop to take kwaya?
Dude is approaching 60 and is allowing heavy drug use to mess him up. Doesn't he have a family or anyone that cares about him?

Dude is approaching 70. He just has good genes despite the rough living. He is 66 years old

dahmie2013:
Excuse you. Why the "special congratulations" to that xenophobia state? Are you a Nigerian? Why celebrate them? Can't you just celebrate Ivory Coast alone? Please, stop celebrating or recognising their achievements. You make them important.

Who are you to tell some other person who not to celebrate..

You are forgeting there are 5 other teams yet to play their 3rd game, Cape Verde, Croatia, Belgium, DR Congo & Algeria.

Finally Senegal has qualified..

chinchum:
Yes, they have an improved chance now with that result, as Senegal is now better with points and goal difference than the 3rd place of 3 completed groups. It is not guaranteed yet as they have to be better than four 3rd place teams, but it is closer, they need one more result in their favor.

Senegal has finally qualified...

chinchum:
Senegal does have a chance, but it is not uhuru yet, it seems some of the analysis fail to consider current 1st, 2nd or 3rd or 4th place teams yet to play their last match can still be 3rd.

Accounting for only currently 3rd place teams at this time means the analysis is not accounting for that possibility. At this time, the best spot on 3rd place best loosers they can have is 5th place, which will surely get worse when other 3rd games are played.

I am hopeful it doesn't get worse than a 8th place 3rd best for them. Germany losing to Ecuador yesterday was what severely reduced their chances in my opinion. I would have said they will almost surely(95% chance) make at least the 8th spot of the 3rd best loosers, but at this point, they have a 45% chance by my estimate.

Senegal will definitely qualify..Cape Verde just qualified on 3 points and there is no third spot qualification from that group. Uruguay is eliminated

I did the maths + luck already...

Inspirer1:
Okay, that implies that Senegal is currently above them

Yes..Its safe to say Senegal has qualified

cr7lomo:
Not yet... 4 teams are on 4 points in 4rd place ...and 3 will most likely join on 4 points, namely congo ( beat Uzbekistan) , Algeria ( draw Austria) both need a draw, Croatia draw Ghana... that makes it 7 ... then pray Uruguay dont beat spain , cos cape verd will beat saudi... and the other group Belgium defeating New Zealand and Iran defeating Egypt... if any of that happens ...Senegal will not qualify

Senegal will definitely qualify. Africa could see 9 teams at the KO. That would truly be unprecedented

greypencils:
It will take a miracle. These number of goals scored against Iraq might help erase the deficit in their goal difference.

No Miracle. They have qualified

greypencils:

They will definitely qualify..

yemmit90:
Many teams are on 4 points already,they will likely go home. Even Ghana seem not to totally save at this point because they may heavily lose to experienceed Croatians who will do everything possible to stay pass group stage.

Are you saying these out of disdain for the Ghanaian team or after a careful mathematical analysis. Ghana has already qualified as it stands and that's irrespective of their next match outcome. At least two or three teams will equally qualify with 3 points and Senegal might just be one of them

Sirseedorf:
Can Senegal qualify for the next round even without having four points?

Yes..
As of a few hours back Scotland was the 8th team on the best losers scale with 3 points and -3 goals

As it stands the are at 3 points +1 and have very likely qualified

MyAmericandream:
Why didn’t they use this same energy on their previous game. Stuuupid boys.

Can't you guys always say things without insults..What a culture

A 3-0 win could see them advance.
Needless to say they haven't been equally brilliant..With Tunisia out and likely Senegal too, Africa could see a record 8 teams qualify to the round of 32. I hope the Ex Italian coach is watching..Africa would definitely have the last laugh..

Cote D'ivoire, Ghana, Egypt, South Africa and Morocco have mathematically advanced..Cape Verde stands a good chance of beating Saudi Arabia, DRC also stands a good chance of beating Uzbekistan. Algeria beating Austria isn't impossible but all they could really need is a draw to advance..
