well he thought Baba had changed. He paid dearly for his mistakes

Truth be told, no policy formulation yet from the 7 month old government, all we keep seeing and hearing is a continuation of the legacies of GEJ administration. I thought APC had a manifesto and in the manifesto nowhere was it stated that they would embark on continuation or continuity... all they advocated then were policies of change. Now they are in power, they have changed their "vote for change" to "continuity". God help us

Nigeria is sliding into dictatorship and the youths whose futures are being destroyed are here hailing kidnapping, dictatorship and outright brigandage by law enforcement officers. what happens to warrant of arrest? you dont just arrest a man without a warrant unless he was caught in the act. If he had been shown a warrant he wouldnt have resisted the arrest. Those who are meant to uphold the law are the ones desecrating it. was he not granted bail by the court? why arrest him in front of the court? an affront to the judiciary...or was it a different offence? that shows the prosecutors and investigators didnt do their job very well by doing proper investigation before charging him to court. Nigeria is becoming a joke, it is sliding into dictatorship... God save us

lovely

I just ask him a question, as a politician and a public servant rather than to answer my question then he just blocked me, and I think it was not fair at all

And what truth did you tell him? That he had no right to use twitter while you and your cohorts own twitter? Perform his duties and leave twitter? That means all those twitting are jobless including you Mr Hammariise that adviced him? Go get a life, Ben-Murray Bruce don hammerise you to teach you the meaning of your name, now you are crying. Abeg go find a job and perform your own duties and leave nairaland and twitter. Bunch of hipocrites.

Hello house,can anyone suggest the acceptable way to notarize degree certificate here in Nigeria for MSc admission in Finland. I applied to LUT last yr with complete documents(IELTS-7.5,Transcript sent by my University,CV...and my degree certificate stamped and signed "Certified True Copy" by a notary in the Ministry of Justice of my State).Unfortunately,my application was disqualified by UAF at the eleventh hour,stating that the "Certified True Copy" stamp was unacceptable.Kindly advise cos I don't wish to waste my money like last yr.Thank u!

Go to a lawyer in a private firm that is a notary public or to a magistrate. No notary public in ministry of justice. You were misled.

Yes it is stated there, you can use your master or visa card for the payment.

May God help and provide for all of us.

Naija visa card no dey work for Finland portals o. I tried using my fidelity visa card to book for bus ticket in Helsinki and it was rejected. I tried to check my account balance in an ATM in joensuu but the machine kept rejecting my card. I don't know about master card. If you are frustrated in making d payment you can ask anybody in Finland to help you pay it

Governor Shettima Warns Against Rising Biafra Protests


“We condemn the Wednesday crisis in very strong term. We have been in touch with one another today. The governors of major cities in the North in particular, have been in critical touch to share thoughts and we have collectively taken firm measures to ensure that the violence doesn’t spread to any part of the 19 northern states and we will also be working with our colleagues in the South to nip the crisis in the bud, but we will not disclose the measures we have taken so that those who may want to take advantage of the Onitsha mayhem don’t know our strategies.”

Yes you have taken measures and you wont disclose them and one of the measures we already know is the burning of the sabon gari market in Kano

Correct expose and interpretation of the law. The relevant authorities should not foist a fait accompli on the nation by their greed.

This video is of an interview conducted before the election where GEJ admitted that the money meant to procure weapons was looted under his watch. it makes perfect sense for the government of the day to find out what happened and why

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFy2JmXoEA

@OP i wonder what you set out to achieve by this character assassination, i listened to the recording over and over again trying to see or hear or even get the feeling that GEJ admitted people looted monies meant for weapons. Please the election is over, now is time for governance, the ruling party cant get the job done by trying to rubbish GEJ's image. the only evidence on the video recording you posted was the fact that GEJ promised to concede defeat if he loses. Please try grow up. And all the above guys commenting without watching the video and spewing trash, it shows your stupidity and gullibleness. This is how a mob will descend on a person and kill him just because a stupid fellow shouted "thief" without ascertaining whether the particular person caught was the actual thief or if there was any theft at all. And this is why our country has refused to develop

Hypocrisy is when you reject Transparency International's polls during GEJ and accept their polls during PMB's regime. the OP should please show us the full report and the index of Nigeria's standing so that we will compare Nigeria's 2015 index standing with the previous years and know if we are making progress or not.

FKO81:
So why are you complaining, the former governor Obi did a lots in your area and the current governor is doing great, no state is 100% developed in Africa, governance is a process, you don't expect Obiano to turn your area to las Vegas over night

I guess you didnt follow the quote i was answering before commenting, do well to know where a discussion started before jumping in lest you'd be crushed. To clear you i wasnt complaining, i only straightened facts to the guy i quoted who got the facts all wrong and assumed i am not from Anambra or resident there.

excel234:
my dear, it's good ndi Igbo are doing well for themselves. It would be better we continually excel without chest beating. When I see state of roads in all these states, you feel like weeping. My mum is from anambra, it's my second home. I know you guys very well - show off even in lacking- can be annoying and funny sometimes. There is no doubt, ndi Anambra has done well for themselves. We are a great people, but we need to work more and talk less. Ndi Igbo has shown themselves exceptional in academics and business with Southeast states among the first two as a minimum. Let's always rep Igbos and not balkanize the region.

Now you are talking bro, united we stand. We shouldnt let in the enemy to divide us. About roads, its only the federal roads that are bad in majority of the eastern states showing we lack federal presence. Most of the towns in Anambra have good interconnected roads. It is only the federal trunk A roads that needs urgent attention. so when people protest and call for their right to self-determination, i dont blame them much because it is pretty obvious there is no federal government presence in Igboland

excel234:
Same thing I was saying, just because Anambra scored close to Imo this yr for first time after a century, you guys are beating ur chest.

lol still living in denial. Anambra didnt score close to Imo, Anambra is the first in Nigeria, this year, last year, even last two years. Bro, please wake up, the world have passed you by. Conduct a poll here on nairaland or anywhere you want, even the Yorubas who are critical of the Igbos and who pride themselves as the most educated will give it up to Anambra in the recent time. Imo is not even among the top 3 in terms of Unity schools cut off and you are here saying "Anambra came close to Imo". Please wake up. Instead of confronting the Igbo's known enemy, you are here trying to bicker between Anambra and Imo who should come first in education

chukjojo:
i doubt u live in Anambra as u claim unless u are talking of street in these LG. These town hav good roads built by the past admistration.

I am from Nteje, Oyi LGA, did all my schooling there, read law in unizik, residing and practising in awka...i hope this qualifies as living in Anambra? Now about roads, Omor, Anaku, Enugu-Otu in Anambra East and its environs dont have good roads. Have you been to these areas i mentioned before? In fact for you to get to Enugu-Otu from Aguleri junction a bike man will charge you not less than 1k and you will get to a place you will enter a boat(pontu) in order to cross the river. Anambra West is the same too as Oroma-Etiti, Nzam, Olu and its environs dont have tarred roads. on Ogbaru, i have been to Atani(Atani has road but it stopped at Osamala or something like that), Akili-Ogidi, Akili-Ozuzu and environs are yet to have a good road. all these places are within Anambra North, I'm from Anambra North. I guess that informed the decision for power shift to the zone so that the Governor will develop their own areas too

excel234:
My brother, I don't doubt graduates are making it big in Onitsha. I have kiths and kin, friends making it big there. Even if you make big money with zero diplomacy, it will take you nowhere. E.g Imo has been leading in Educational excellence nationwide for past 15yrs yet you don't see them on nairaland boasting, they have huge reserve of oil and gas - more than cross river, Edo yet they don't boast. Anambrarians are big mouthed. It puts Igbo nation in a bad light as braggarts. Stop this thr@sh pls.

I guess somebody is living in denial. Anambra has since overtaken Imo in education. the statistics are there. check the news, common cut off mark for unity schools will provide you with the basic info you need. There is nothing wrong in people extolling themselves. it is called nationalism; having pride in one's own nation,State or whtaever you chose to call it. Havent you heard stuffs like "America doesnt negotiate with terrorrists" before? Guess you will call that chest beating too. I am not a billionaire, but when i become one, i sure will celebrate it. You only celebrate success while failure is an orphan. And when the successful people celebrate their success, let their celebration spur you to become successful too. But if you hate, then you would have missed the opportunity of bettering your life by constructively learning from the success of the people you are hating

permsec:
Mr man i am from Anambra state and you've made no point here. The roads in the villages of most of the aformentioned billionaires listed above are in their worst shape.


I'd like to state other points too but let me stop there.

Guy calm down i know wetin i dey talk.

I think this is misleading. Anambra was adjudged to have the best interconnected roads. Apart from federal roads, majority of other roads in Anambra are motorable. I am from Anambra and live there too. the only areas that have poor road networks are some part of Anambra East, Anambra West and Ogbaru LGAs. the rest have good road networks. But again, it is not the duty of individuals to build roads, it is the duty of the government...that is why the citizens pay tax. you cant expect the citizens to pay tax and as well provide basic amenities by themselves.

seunmsg:
The main election was conducted yesterday. The supplementary election is just an addition to the main election that was held election. And, since the results of yesterday's election have been announced by INEC, they can no longer be invalidated. The votes cast yesterday remains valid until a court of law says otherwise. All that INEC can do now is to conclude the process and announce the party that won. PDP can then approach the court if they are not satisfied.

Bro, are you telling us your opinion or what the law says? There is a lacuna in the law and inec needs direction on which way to go. INEC cannot conclude the election without a substantive candidate. the case of Amaechi v inec precipitated the amendment of the Electoral Act in 2010 to the effect that it is not the party that goes into an election but the party and the candiate jointly, you cannot remove one from the other. so it is not as simple as you think and the run-off cannot be held without a candidate in place

kahal29:
(1) If a person duly elected as Governor dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and oath of office, or is unable for any reason whatsoever to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Deputy governor shall be sworn in as Governor and he shall nominate a new Deputy-Governor who shall be appointed by the Governor with the approval of a simple majority of the House of Assembly of the State.

(2) Where the persons duly elected as Governor and Deputy Governor of a State die or are for any reason unable to assume office before the inauguration of the house of Assembly, the Independent National Electoral Commission shall immediately conduct an election for a Governor and Deputy Governor of the State.

http://nigerian-constitution.com/chapter-6-part-2-section-181-death-etc-of-governor-before-oath-of-office/

the constitution said duly elected... in this case, no one has been duly elected as the governor as inec declared the election inconclusive. so the above section does not come into play. this is a lacuna in the constitution and what inec should do in the present case is to call for a fresh election.

Never used this before but honestly,not all "lawyers" are qualified to be lawyers. You talk like a year 1 Diploma law student!

Congrats bro. Helsinki is my destination bro. What about you?

Ok I'm headed to Joensuu

Bros how far, dem don deliever ur RP? My decision came a week after yours and i am yet to be mailed of any arrival yet!

I went to the embassy on monday, 22/09/2015 and collected the RP meanwhile the embassy emailed me on 16/09/2015 to come or send for it. I believe yours should be at the embassy now,if you don't get a mail tomorrow, email the embassy. Which city are you headed to?

God bless the Pope

Sorry bro, na body language cause am. I couldn't send money to Finland for over two weeks now!

sureb0y:
Update.

I sent this to Migri last night after seeing the refusal letter. According to the refusal letter which I translated in English Language, they revoked the RP because section 58 n 4 of their law states that they have the right to revoke a granted RP if later discovered that the applicant used a document that would have made dem deny the application in the first place.
They said: Embassy contacted u and informed you about the revocation and told you to clarify the issue. You clarified the issue and said indeed the certificate is genuine. Our representative in Abuja Embassy contacted the German consulate, an expert in this case, to know if the certificate is original or not. It was the German who pronounced the certificate unacceptable hence the revocation.

If u read this well and the letter I sent to them, u would see the crap. First it wasn't about whether the insurance certificate was acceptable or not. It was whether I brought d original or replica. Now they're saying I brought a certificate that's not approved. They're blaming ME. That I deliberately did it. When they were the ones who instructed me to go to Mutual Benefits Assurance PLC.

Madness.

Bro,
Like we discussed yesterday, make a fresh application. You have a genuine cause of action to sue mutual and the embassy of Finland,however whatever case you are instituting will take nothing less than 3 years to determine and the losing party can appeal. Again, consider the cost of action, you will spend a lot in legal fees and charges...unless you wanna be a hero who successfuly battled the government of Finland and Mutual Company, but if you want a quicker resolution, get an insurance from Aico, make a fresh application. Once you are granted the RP, go ahead and sue Mutual for giving you a certificate different from the usual one they give people and also joining the embassy as a nominal party. My humble opinion though. Best of luck bro.

Lol u dey vex, open thread comment 1st. Meanwhile you got a problem with lawyers, I'm a lawyer. I don already quote you
