Truthisunique2: what is the fuss about the law in the first place
There is no 30 day resignation deadline to participate in a party convention
Anyday you resign is ok so long as you don't enter convention with political appointment
. The section is included to forestall public servants from using their position to influence election processes.In my opinion I want the SC to sustain its inclusion .
. Which extant court order did Yusuf Alli refer to here? That INEC did not recognize the Stadium party structure? That the primary should not be held? INEC constitutionally associates itself with the party structure recognized by the constitution. Thus since the stadium primary was organized by PDP NWC with the INEC in attendance Adeleke's candidacy stands
fergie001: Firstly, by Instituting the case alone and the manner he has surreptitiously taken this case has made Godwin Emefiele lose every credibility, that is if he had any.
Section 84(12) & its wahala. Every person in the Federal Executive arm is a political appointee excepting the President & his Vice.
In Oni v Fayemi, the Appeal Court ruled that while the Ministers are Public Officers, they are not employed in the Public Service of the Federation. The determination of Emefiele or any other public Officer will rest on the nature of their appointment.
3 types of employment are recognised in Nigeria; A. Employment at will or servant holding an office at pleasure of employer, i.e. Master and servant relationship.
B. Employment by written contract of employment;
C. Employment which is governed by statute;
Ministers fall under Section A. (Their position isn't tenured and they can be fired at any time by the President without recourse to anything or anybody).
The CBN been a legislation of the National Assembly falls under C. This is an employment with statutory flavour. The employment or termination is protected by statute or laid down regulations and it is usually tenured. However, the SC has said many times that employment with a Statutory body is not automatically clothed with statutory flavour but will be determined by the contractual terms between employer & employee in the letter of employment.
To have a statutory flavour, the appointment and removal of the employee must be defined in the enabling statute so that a valid determination of such employment is predicated upon the satisfaction of the statutory provisions. What it means literally is that: If the Senate does not support the President according to the CBN Act, the Governor will be reinstated if the President touches him.
I believe it is clear from the Act on screenshot below that Emefiele is employed in the Service of The Federation and should leave there 30 days before the date of election.
The question: Should The date of the election be 30 days to the Primary election or 30 days to the general election. A question for another day.
. You have indeed analysed the position of the law on Emefele's matter. No addition no subtraction . Thank you greatly Mr Garfield and to all those that continue to make this legal plartform educative. However I wonder if our politicians have legal advisers on electoral matter. Why do they like going to a journey of no return?
Arrows, Bullets, Other Mysterious Items Brought Out of Chiwetalu Agu’s Chest As He Survives Spiritual Attack.
Veteran movie star Chiwetalu Agu has revealed that his enemies plotted and sent many agents to kill him.
The actor shared a video where he showed and described various items such as arrows, bullets, stones and mirror all removed from his chest, neck, and shoulder region. Chiwetalu however gave glory to God for foiling the plans of the enemy and keeping him alive despite the attacks.
The Popular Nollywood veteran Chiwetalu Agu recently revealed that he defeated his enemies and the plot to end his life in a shocking video.
In the video shared below, the actor sat behind a table with different items like nails, cowries, stones, bullets, and other mysterious items.
Chiwetalu Agu bares it all, He then proceeded to disclose that the items were removed from his shoulder, neck, and chest region by a prophet and described the various types of uncountable arrows on the table.
The actor however attributed his saving grace to the fact that he is one with God and he can't be harmed by any enemy. "At a point I was seeing myself 5 feet under the ground in my sleep" - he said.
fergie001: Supreme Court Judgements have distinguished these facts. When a President dies, his Deputy takes over without that term counted for him..pre-2018.
. Before 2018 GJ could contest against especially with with SC ruling that he could contest again because he finished Yaradua tenure in his first term of office but as from 2018 I don't believe he is still qualified to recontest as the president. I strongly believe Section 137 is both retroactive and prospective. If he comes out to contest in 2023 there will be a lot of court cases until the SC clarifies section 137 of the new Electoral Act
After seven years of failure and an untold inflation with hardship on Nigerians! I prefer that my vote is not counted to voting continuation of. hardship! I come in peace!
Ehinjuola: Hello NLanders, I got caught up with something on my neck in my neighboood recently.
There's this woman (A) who bought a sewing machine from one woman (B) 9 years ago, suddenly woman B just came from nowhere to come and claim the sewing machine that she sold years back that she only use the machine as a collateral from woman A that she didn't sell it for her.
Now the issue is Woman A has sold the sewing Machine and also insisted that if truly woman's (B) use it as collateral for how many years now she would wish if Woman B paid her back with the interest on the money which the money is way much more than money for 100 sewing machines.
Now questions is, how will I go abt it cause I happened to be one of the landlords in my area( I guess I am the youngest) and we are called to come and judge over the matter. 1. Woman's A doesn't posses the receipt of the sewing machine and as already sold the sewing machine 2. Woman's B want the machine at any cost claiming she has the receipt with her and she will use it against woman's A in court ( If the judgement didn't suite her taste in landlord meeting)
Note: They've gone to police station around early February which they've told woman's A abt the important of receipt and also let it known to woman's B that collateral shouldn't be more than a year and after that the person you borrow something from might as well claim the ownership what you use as collateral (Don't know maybe there's any law backing it though)
Abeg let it gain more audience by pushing it to front page thanks.
. The lawalllws collateral to last for about a year. If it evident that you can not redem the collateral it will be sold and your remaining money will be returned to you if it is sold more than the money borrowed . In this case no written agreement btwn And B. For reconciliation the law on collateral will be apiled since there is no written agreement between them. It is however good that there are witnesses who can testify on this transaction btw them.
fergie001: Ladoja was elected Gov, he took his oath of Office, and was impeached. When the impeachment was quashed, he intended to take another Oath for his fresh term to commence then and the SC said NO.
You can only take an Oath twice when elected. Jonathan only took his Oath of Office once as an elected President of the FRN. The law of 2018 is in effect but not retrospective.
. The principle of joint ticket applies to GJ and Yarhadua .Both elected as the P and VP respectively. If the P dies the VP becomes the president. He took the oath of office as elected president on the basis of joint ticket.In the opinion of the SC oath of office is in effect whether you are the President or you become president in case of emergency. Additionally minimum of 8 years is allowed to rule as the president not 9 years.What is your take on this?
fergie001: I don't think so. I don't know where people get the perception of not taking oath more than twice. Geidam took his oath of office thrice.
The Constitution in 137(1)b: A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if he has been ELECTED to such office at any two previous elections;
Was Jonathan elected President in 2010? He only became President by virtue of S146(1) & not by Election. The word is "hold the office". Be that as it may, with the new Act, the law is not retrospective, and must be seen as true, just and fair.
. The SC has not vacated its judgement on this matter in Ladoja vrs INEC 2008 referenced by FF . I think with the new act in motion since 2018 and precedence of the SC GJ is technically disqualified ftom having a rellection bid
fergie001: I don't think Falana is correct. The cases are not same.
In my opinion he is right GJ completed Yarafua tenure and took oath of office as the president .Later he took his second oaath in 2014. How many times will he take oath as the president ? Section 139 FF is explicit enough to disqualify him.
Failure44: I'm reaching in a depressive state of mind. I can't stop masturbating towards pictures of my ex, I had stopped for 4 months but I immediately backslided one day and now am back doing it chronically. We recently talked and it was 100% obvious she had moved on from me but I still haven't moved on.
Indispensable85: Hahahahahahahaha..... God bless the judiciary. Infact those people that were involved in that sham called primary should be arrested and sent to prison. Tribunal case don close.... hahahaha
The oracles have spoken! That is the end of all lingering cases on the matter
Alexia20: Hello house, the age of my spouse on our marriage certificate (church wedding cert) was wrongly captured (my own fault) and I will need to upload the certificate for visa application for spouse dependent visa application for my spouse to join me in uk asap. Common sense dictates that the age on marriage certificate should tally with her passport DOB .
Hence, I have approached the church for correction and they have refused blatantly on the ground that the mistake is not coming from them. So what other options do I have for proper documentation in this visa application,kindly advice.
. Is your husband in Nigeria? Can you show me the copy of the certificate to know if it is even acceptable. Many church certificates are fake initially.Then I can advice you on what to do next!
Okobola146: Baba Kekere has served 3 Alaafins. His duty is to run errands for the king. He served :
1. Oba Adeniran Adeyemi II, Lamidis father between 1945 & 1956.
2. Oba Gbadegesin Ladigbolu II between 1956 & 1968 and
3. Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, between 1970 & 2022.
He walks briskly in and around the Alaafin of Oyo palace. He is very popular not only because of his diminutive figure but because of his humility and he does not get angry.
Some call him a man with repository of knowledge of the Palace for he has the history off hand and some call him the Palace library or an archive.
He is called Baba Kekere possibly because of his height. His age is unknown because his birth was not recorded but it is assumed that he should be over 100 years now.
Pray4meJC: For privacy reasons, I'm an old nairaland member.
About 22 / 23 years ago, a classmate in secondary school lured us into the act of masturbation. Few days later, I started practicing the act and eventually ejaculated after tough stimulation lasting almost two hours. It got to a point I was almost getting addicted doing the unclean act.
Thereafter I graduated to pornography when internet was just starting in Nigeria. I went further to committing adultery and fornication in the heart rather than with the body by peeping on girls and women having their bathe all to fulfill my lustful eyes. I even watched couple have sex by peeping.
Even though I have stopped and repented from these like 12 years back, I still find myself struggling with other bigger problems called wet dreams, unusual erections and wormlike vibrations in my body and sometimes body freezing at night for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
These wet dreams occurred 2 - 3 times in a week and repeat same in like manner every week compulsorily throughout the year and go on and on the following year. I have gone for several dry fasting and prayer deliverance to no avail.
I don't see myself having sex in the dream when these wet dreams occurred. Sometimes, when the wet dream is about happening I'm conscious and try screaming the name or blood of Jesus but it seems am just very powerless and before I know it, semen has spilled out and I will remain like that. Sleep is distorted and all efforts to sleep is impossible.
Sometimes, when I go to bed early by 8PM and I get caught up by wet dreams by 9:30PM, it means sleep for that night is gone completely. I sleep maximum 2 hours daily because this stuff has messed my mind and life up.
Whenever I lie down to sleep, different uninvited thoughts start forcing themselves on my brain both those that happened today and the ones of years ago. I always try deflecting them by replacing them with bible quote or singing praise to God in my head.
I woke up since 2:30 am today with a wet burser soaked in semen and started typing this because I couldn't no longer sleep. Afternoon sleep is very impossible for me as it has never worked for even 1 minute
I'm greatly troubled and worried because I read my bible and pray before going to bed. I dream about my former schools etc.
As I speak, this stuff has rendered me financially devastated with millions in debt. Could not obtain university admission 19 years ago, brain can't simulate, not married, no kids. Very recently this year my health (details withheld due to family members who might find this posts) is suffering as I can't do anything to earn a living as I easily sored tired in the heart.
PS: At night, every day for all these years, uncontrollable strong erections will suddenly start building up whether I put up underwear or not and I think this is more than the 'morning erections ' science talks about. This is pure spiritual manipulation for me. Same thing happens when I get close to some females whether matured or underage, stupid uncontrollable strong erections suddenly pop up without any sexual thoughts whatsoever to these innocent females. Unfortunately, these arousal is also a problem because it inhibits low self esteem, shame and quick withdrawal from whatever discuss I'm having to avoid the bulge being noticed.
Lastly, a year before I got myself ensnared in all these evil activities, I was already developing memory loss and a single headache that almost took my life prior to all these. The headache can be best described as "sawchain and hammer " tearing the skull to pieces and lasted for hours and resistance to drugs. That was the first and last time I experienced such and any other for that matter.
Where do I go from here? Depression is real when solutions are being defiled.
. All you have is psychological. When there are psychological issues a lot of unfounded illnesses will set in that no test can reveal. Wet dreams are common to many mature men. Your exposure to masturbation makes yiu have strong sexual drive and enhanced body chemistry for sex. Because you keep having wet dreams you are anxious of what might be the problems and this leads to depression and accompanying unfathomed illnesses. It is like a.vicious cycle. The truth is there is nothing wrong with you.Your issues are of the mind. You will come out of this situation if you work on your mind and fill it with spiritual things. Mind what you watch on TV and phones and control yourself with the opposite sex. There are drugs for anxiety and depression too which will control your mood and you will sleep well There is nothing wrong with you.You will be better soon.
Omooba77: Why are some Christians not following Jesus closely?
. Religion has become a lucrative business.The more you deviate the more you make money! Jesus preached from door to door how many churches are doing this today? 2 Are Most Revd Most Senior Apostle ..Baba Ijo Iya Ijo etc in the Bible and in the First Century congregations established by Jesus? 3 Did Christians in post Jesus era pay tithes? 4 Did first century chritians have three wives or two wives? 5. How many churches today use the Bible in thier teachings? 6 Are the church jamborees today established by Jesus? True christianinty is about preaching about God's kingdom and living life of devotion to God. Regrettably as prophesied by Jesus there are imitation christians today
MrOON: The annual Salary of the President of Nigeria is N14058820.00k.
In 4 years, it would be N56,235,280.00k.
So why would anyone apply for a Job with N100M just to earn N56,235,280.00k
. If you know what it means to be the president and money yiu will make if you are a president you will agree that it is worth 100m to get a nomination fees.If in doubt ask all our past leaders.
TheScientist: Other news outlets are good. They are living up to their mandate. However, there is something special about Nairaland. The comments from young and vibrant nairalanders, make the news extra-interesting. Although some comments are divisive, most of them are educative.
My first day on Nairaland was a bliss. I learnt so much that my brain was almost filled to capacity. What amazes me the most is the ability of nairalanders to analyze every statement and decode the real intent behind such statement.
Nairalanders are truly intelligent. The only thing i hate about Nairaland is tribal war.
. Nairaland is an assembly of news across the country with different human angle stories.I however hate tribal war and disparagingly disrespectful comments from some educated "iliitrates" on the plartform who think their opinion must be the best at all times. All Nairalander deserve respect young or old regardless of their opinions.
Lala Seun Mynd4[/quote]. 1 Office is a place to sleep with a lady? 2 If you are dating her and she is not intested again is posting your nude pics with hers the way forward? 3 Do you mean you used your influnce to make her pass and win awards? 4 Are you aware of gross misconduct in the school systey? 5 If she actually consented to your sexual act would she petition you? Conclusion: Prof Opefeyintinmi must entered defence on all alkegations against him .
I wish Nigeria could have a neutral president in 2023! Osibanjo is an extension of inglorious masses-unfriendly and inflation-rising Buhari government. Tinubu is also a tatalong of APC. Atiku has no magic to perform if elected. Who will save Nigeria from suffering that has been ongoing since 1999?
. With due respect you are wrong with the conclusion that Tinubu usurped Funso's ticket in 1999. Funso like Omisore in Osun wanted to contest in 1999 but late Bola Ige as the AD chieftain decided at their meeting that whoever was the AD and Afenifere leader in each state should be the AD flagbearer. That led to the choice of Bisi Akande in Osun , Adefarati in Ondo , Lam Adesina in Oyo Tinubu in Lagos Adeniyi Adebayo in Ekiti who used his father's chance because of old age rtd Cornelius Adebayo, and Osoba in Ogun. That was the brainchild of Afenifere led by Chief Bola Ige. Please note that I only said this to clarrify the choice of Tinubu in 1999.I am not in any way supporting either Tinubu or Osibanjo.
. "We are on top of the situation! It is quite unfortunate! We are after the suspects? " Same reactions same incident! I look forward to having a government that will protect life and property in Nigeria and bring smiles to the faces of NIGERIA. like other western countries!
. It is disturbing that NIMC has subjected Nigerians to dupes and swindlers in the name NIN.Many Nigerians have fake numbers ecen after they paid for the excercise Many Nigerians are now paying 1500 for revalidation. They say registration and validation are different. This is quite frustrating for innocent Nigerians who have to have their nos barred even when they have had NIN.
. I have painstakingly read Osibajjo s promises.He can contest as a Nigeria.However, he said more than this on2015 and 2019I. All are deception and lies. Additionally, I won't support him because he is the Vice of Buhari for 8 years .Any attempt to install him is the Continuation of our suffering as Nigerians. Nigerians need a neutral person to rule now. Enough of suffering in our land.
