Didi 5: I still could deliver my message.....it beats me why we as youths celebrate PDP crooks and transparently corrupt and progressive thieves......there is an interesting twist to all this bumfuzzling political stunts like the one we have today.....when these governors are out of office you cannot point to a single solid achievement made.....

Didi 5: Oshiomhole is a disgrace to good leadership.A state government that could not harness the state's abundant resources after five years....factories in Benin are a super graveyard......no salary for state public workers since september.To meet up for his lapses.....the payment of acceptance fee for Ambrose Alli University was increased from 20k to 45k so the state can generate funds at the expense of the common man......while students are still talking ASUU strike payment for accpetance fee might have closed......its more talk and no work for this man....

gratieao: Melaye himself is a corrupt politician, they are all birds of the same feather. he is a drowned man, we are not fool, he is doing this because he himself is not done with the looting of Nigeria, he is a pretender, he wants to come back in 2015 Melaye is not sincere about his anti corruption crusade, he is just shedding a crocodile tears. He is a shameless man, he was calling for the probe of oduah while he himself was supposed to be probed .

ABUJA — The Supreme Court, yesterday, fixed February 7, 2014, to rule on whether the candidate of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, in Rivers State, Mr. Celestine Omehia, has the legal right to appeal the Federal High Court judgment, which held that Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s tenure ended on May 29, 2011.

A five-man panel of the apex court, adjourned for judgment after parties, adopted their briefs of arguments in the consolidated appeals that were filed by Governor Ameachi and a chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Chief Cyprian Chukwu.

Both Ameachi and Chukwu, told the Supreme Court panel headed by Justice M. Muntaka-Coomassie that the Abuja Division of the Appeal Court, erred in law, when it granted Omehia the leave to appeal against the High Court judgment, even though he was not a party in the substantive suit that culminated to the appeal.

It will be recalled that Chukwu had in 2010, applied to a Federal High Court in Abuja, asking it to interpret the Supreme Court judgment which in 2007 removed Omehia from office and declared Amaechi as the governor of the state.

He asked the court to determine whether governorship election should be held in Rivers during the general electiond of April or later, since Amaechi took the oath of office in October 2007 and not May 29, when all other governors took the oath.

The high court held that the Rivers State governorship election should be included in the April 2011 general elections.

After the high court decision, Omehia, who was not a party to the high court proceeding, applied to the Court of Appeal to be allowed to join in the matter as an interested party, contending that he was a party in the apex court judgment that was interpreted by the high court, adding he would be adversely affected by the Supreme Court judgment.

Meantime, a new twist was added to the case, yesterday, when the PDP, which had initially opposed Omehia’s request to be granted leave to challenge the high court judgment, made a U-turn, and urged the apex court to allow Omehia to seek the sack of Governor Ameachi from office.

Counsel to the party, Chief Olusola Oke, argued that under section 243 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, the appellate court, rightly granted Omehia the leave to appeal the high court judgment as an interested party, contending “a person, who is affected or likely to be affected by the outcome of any proceeding is an interested party.”

https://nationalmirroronline.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/lagos2-620x350.jpgBarely two months after it sacked a school principal and eight others over exam malpractices, the Lagos State government has sanctioned four more school principals, three vice-principals and two other teachers for contravening approved promotion criteria for their students.

The sanction came with various punishments ranging from demotion, transfer, deferment of promotion and a stern warning not to contravene approved promotion criteria again or mutilate students’ report cards.

According to a state-ment from the state Ministry of Education, the decision to punish the principals and teachers was taken after an emergency personnel board meeting of Education District III, Falomo and was meant to serve as a deterrent to others who might want to flout the state’s policy on promotion criteria in the future.

The affected teachers, who are all from the Education District III include; Mrs. A. A. Ogunsina, a Grade Level 17 officer and the Principal of Dolphin Junior High School, Lagos Island; Mr. O. F. Talabi, the Vice-Principal (Academics) of Dolphin Junior High School, Lagos Island; Mrs. R. O. Adebara, Vice- Principal (Academics) and the Acting Principal of Girls Senior Academy, Lagos Island.

Others are; Mr. Joshua A. Afolabi, Principal, Ebute Elefun Senior High School, Lagos Island and Mrs. Abigail Makanjuola, Principal, Girls Junior Academy, Lagos Island. Other affected teachers are; Mrs. Falilat O. Shodipe, the Vice-Principal of Girls Junior Academy, Lagos Island and Mrs. Muninat A. Rafiu, a class teacher also at Girls Junior Academy, Lagos Island. Also punished are; Mrs. O. A. Fajulagbe, Principal, Dolphin Senior High School, Lagos Island and Mr. Olaniyi A. Bada, a class teacher at Dolphin Senior High School, Lagos Island.

The statement explained that the Principal of Dolphin Junior High School, Mrs. A. A. Ogunsina, was found guilty of abdicating her duty to her Vice-Principal (Academics), Mrs O. F. Talabi, who in turn unilaterally promoted some students with passes in English or Mathematics instead of credit which contravenes the approved promotion criteria.

Mrs. R. O. Adebara, who also acts as the Principal of Girls Senior Academy, Lagos Island was also found guilty of promoting some students with pass in Mathematics or English on compassionate ground, a decision that did not cut across the board as some students with the same score were not promoted.

The statement also noted that Mr. Joshua A. Afolabi, the Principal of Ebute Elefun Senior High School admitted to promoting some students who had passes in English or Mathematics on trial on humanitarian grounds for the fact that those students had five or six credits.

Mrs. Abigail Makanjuola, the Principal of Girls Junior Academy, Lagos Island was found guilty of abdicating her duties to her Vice- Principal, Mrs. Falilat O. Shodipe, who was subsequently directed by the Principal to raise the scores of students in English and Mathematics. Mrs. Muminat Rafiu, a class teacher at Girls Junior Academy, Lagos Island and Mrs. O. A. Fajulugbe, the Principal of Dolphin Senior High School, Lagos Island as well as Mr. Olaniyi A. Bada, a class teacher also at Dolphin Senior High School, Lagos Island were all found guilty of mutilating students’ report cards.

Campus Times gathered that at the University, members of ASUU in the University who have been front-liners in the industrial action today accepted the new offer from the FG and voted that the strike be suspend. Other Universities that have so far voted for the suspension of the industrial action are Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Uthman Dan Fodio University Sokoto, Federal University of Technology MINNA, and the University of Lagos.

Others are, the University of Calabar, Federal University of Technology Akure, and Ekiti State University. As of Press time, only the University of Benin has refused to yield to the call that the 4-month old ASUU strike be suspended.

It will be recall the the Academic Staff Union of Nigeria Universities (ASUU) has on 1 July, 2013 embarked on an indefinite strike to put pressure on the FG to implement the 2009 agreement it entered into with the Union.

taharqa: I thought you didn't want the strikes to be called off. You and yr brothers- @Mynd-4 and @demdem....IGBIs
