A Lagos State High Court has barred Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of All Progressives Congress leader, Bola Tinubu, from imposing levies on traders at the Computer Village, Lagos.

The development comes over a year after Tinubu-Ojo, who is also the Iyaloja-General of Lagos State, reportedly imposed leaders on the traders who then introduced new levies, a development which sparked a series of protests at the Computer Village.

Others who were similarly barred from imposing levies include Mrs. Bisola Azeez, Mr. Adeniyi Olasoji, Nofiu Akinsanya, Tony Ikani and the Commissioner of Police in Lagos State.

The order is sequel to a fundamental human rights suit marked ID/9039MFHR/19 instituted against the five respondents by the five major stakeholders representing the traders at the Computer Village, Punch reports.

The stakeholders representing the traders include The Registered Trustees of Computer and Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria; Registered Trustees of Phone and Allied Product Dealers Association of Nigeria; and Registered Trustees of Phone Parts and Accessories Dealers Association of Nigeria.

Other applicants include the Registered Trustees of Association of Caterers, Food and Drinks Vendors of Ogunbiyi Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos; Registered Trustees of Ikeja Books, Stationeries and Computer Association and Azeez Olunrin.

The judgment, which Justice Yetunde Pinheiro delivered, read in part, “I find that the 2nd and 3rd respondents’ imposition of levies on the applicants is illegal, null and void and therefore amounts to a violation of their fundamental rights.

“Accordingly, it is hereby ordered as thus: The first to fifth respondents by themselves, agents, levy collectors howsoever called are restrained from imposing levies and fines on the members of the 1st to 5th applicants at the Ikeja Computer Village in the Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State.”

In a letter titled, ‘Dear members, Our Court Victory against Iyaloja and Babaloja and Others in Computer Village, Ikeja’, the Computer Village leadership rejoiced over the judgment.

Our prayers should be
Lord lead me not into temptation.

Who knows the real story
Some brothers can be so tempting

I tell you. Oil dey ya head bro.

Gumi's recent comments are really generating heat across the country. See how this tweet put it.

I need the pro-one-Nigeria apologists to help us to answer the question.

Simplyleo:
Is okay.

When people of similar status from other zone do this, those pipu will jump at them throwing the worst insult ever.

But in this case, wait and see how they start licking azz.

What exactly do you mean by "do this"?

Lalasticlacla

Lalasticlala, Mynd44. Seconded.

Haha! Why is no one responding to this?

Let someone answer this question. Let's stop being in the habit of ignoring important questions like this. Why have fellows like Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina, Lie Muhammad, helinues, SilverNorGold, , etc not condemned Hisbah's frequent destruction of legit businesses? Oga Lalasticlala, Mynd44 and other supermods, we need to make this question reach Aso Rock. Thank you.

BluntCrazeMan:
On a very serious note, what is the opposite of the word “Opposite”?

Opposite of 'opposite' is 'same' as in 'opposite sex' and 'same sex'.

So, the knives and the bullets are for what? And they weren't mentioned in the news page?

What has Harvard credential got to do with leadership ability? The man may be the most qualified but to tie it to his Harvard certificate which could even be a 3 day course is unreasonable.

He got degrees from Nigerian universities but certificate from Harvard is what is making headlines. Inferiority complex.

Keep lying to yourself with your superiority complex. My people say, "onye a na-ekwu nwere ihe ọ na-eme" (anyone many people are talking about, there's a good reason why". If people all over the world recognize Harvard so well, no amount of your contrived superiority nonsense can make your Unibadan or UNN or Unical its equal. Many of these techs you use are developed by people just after passing through Harvard even without graduating and you're here lying to your own self. I know whom you are though.

But there are rape cases in the south too

I'm surprised that nobody responded to you. There are rape cases in the South but there is none as horrible as this. Not just that she is underage, she is mentally disabled. And those who did it, not just that they are elderly, they number 7. I mean, this is completely outside anything that can be called human.

chatinent:
Psalms 37: 29 says otherwise.

What do you have to say about it?

The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell there forever. And you seem to be assuming that there is no land in the after-life realms. Why? Can't the same God who made this land you walk and work on make a land space for another world? Why are you supposing that there is no land in Heaven? Indeed, we have land on earth, but what we have in Paradise is THE LAND, paved with gold and all kinds of precious stones. The most beautiful cities on Earth are only a reflection of THE LAND that the saints are inheriting. THE LAND flowing with milk and honey was a prefigure of it. There is THE LAND. I hope you don't miss it.

I hate the way that Nigerians play their kind of cowardice. It's annoying and it's causing problems. I cannot hold the anger in my heart while going to bed, so I will say it now.

Why are cowards like Wike saying that Buratai failed? Why can't you all apportion the blame to the right place? Was Buratai not an errand boy to someone else? Was Buratai the commander-in-chief of the Nigerian armed forces all the while?

Why can't you guys open your mouth and allow it to say the truth for once that BUHARI FAILED AND IS STILL FAILING. That's how you cowards left the Fulani herders that were killing you and turned your anger on IPOB that was being killed. Now, the nemesis is after you.

Buhari is the one who failed, not Buratai. He will still continue failing with the new service chiefs. He will still use his brothers to keep killing, raping, maiming, and vandalizing. Nonsense!

Only ‘opios’ feeling funky wear leg chain.

Quote me anywhere...

Can you educate me please? What's 'opios'?

I have said it many times: if not because of Fulani herder menace that Buhari is obviously supporting, I would have been his number 1 fan.

**But, there is no GOOD Buhari can do now to compensate for the EVIL of denying our people their sacred right to life AGAIN AND AGAIN, allowing his kinsmen to rape our women AGAIN AND AGAIN with their dirty things, scaring our farmers from their farms, thereby increasing hunger in the land. WHAT IS SECOND NIGER BRIDGE TO COMPARE WITH ALL THESE ATROCITIES? Mtch!

Abegi, if you want to help yourself financially, I advise you to go to my profile and read the title "EARNING FROM YOUR HOBBY: THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO THE HAPPIEST YOU"

The girls with leg chain are not bad....



They are bold, I don't like timid gals

What's bold about it?

Something happens to me which I'm beginning to think is strange. This is it: When I hear that a guy declared himself gay, I FEEL A VERY STRONG URGE TO VOMIT. I also experience it to an extent when I see a lady wearing a leg chain.

Is it just me or is there anyone else experiencing it that you know? Again, is there any advise on how to stop it?

Do they care about Harvard credentials in a Cow Republic?

Noted. But they can never be happy stealing the crude oil that doesn't belong to them. There is joy in earning what you have.

I advise anyone who wants to make a lot of money and still be very happy to read the title, EARNING FROM YOUR HOBBIES: THE SHORTEST ROUTE TO THE HAPPIEST YOU. Find the link in my profile.

Let no one envy those who are proud to steal from others. The day of reckoning is coming.

The terrorists have spread from North to the whole country under your APC Govt. And there is no effort by your government to stop the spread, oh lying old mouth.

Who knows how I can join ESN asap? My blood is very hurt now. This afternoon, I was sleeping and saw myself in my family house in Ebonyi State. All of a sudden, I saw Fulani grazing their cattle inside the compound. I call on everyone to REALLY pray down God's presence upon the situation at hand. But, after the prayer, ACTION is very important. Faith without action is dead.

Fact.

And there was a time Primate Ayodele prophesied that Pinnick wouldn't get a re-election. Yet, Nigerians still believe him and the media still report his conjectures as 'prophecies'! The corruption is not just in government; it is also in religion, on our streets and in our blood.

OritoJasi:
I don't buy the veracity of this news. He will contest under which party? APC?? Because he's not that popular in PDP of today, and Atiku go chance am there. And ibos would rather Atikulate than vote for an APC person - - even Jesus Christ will not get ibo votes if he contests under APC.

Not true. You need to go to Imo and Ebonyi and see how fast people converted as soon as the game changed.
