TMSMedia: Get Ready For 3-Week And 4-Week Sit-At-Home In Biafraland, If Nnamdi Kanu Is Not Released - Simon Ekpa
Simon Ekpa, a Self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that after the ongoing 2-week sit-at-home exercise that there will be 3 week sit-at-home and 4-week sit-at-home exercises in Biafraland, if detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not released, IGBERETV reports.
I hereby discociate myself from the subsidy removal and call for its suspension till January 2024 . The government did not have any preparation for its effects on masses. Enough of the temporary pains.
Ekemini11: APC in their final reply have argued that the Petitioner failed to prove that it was Tinubu who was convicted in the US, and that the PEPT should disregard the evidence.
Meanwhile, Tinubu's sole witness at the Tribunal, Hon. Bamidele, who claims to have known Tinubu for years, identified Tinubu as the recipient of the forfeiture judgement, but argued that it was a civil case.
So who is lying, the lawyer of the house minority leader of the APC?
If this is not confusion. I don't know what is.
The forefture then was not criminal and it was not for Tinubu.. Period!
beautifulsoul12: Good morning everyone. I have to create this account to post this. I can't even sleep at night lately.
I'm so tired and I need help right now. I have been doing this all by myself for so long now, without much complain but now, I need help. Before I got married to my husband, I didn't know he had a seasonal mental health challenge, but not violent.
I met him in the university, he was in medicine, he had dreams, very ambitious, one of the best in his department, Working his way to travel abroad to continue his education. We were just friends, but I liked him. He kept on asking me out, but I declined. I wanted to graduate first. We parted ways in year two. He changed school, so, I knew nothing about him again till years later. Reconnected with him years later after graduation, to my greatest surprise, he didn't graduate, wasted all his resources and couldn't travel out. We still love each other, so we got married. after the birth of my first child, I wanted to leave him, but I couldn't because he was a good man, but with too many changes and I was the only one who truly care and was there for him. Three years ago, he became much better. He got a small job, Started bringing in little for upkeep. I saw change and I was happy. We had our second child last year after 8yrs. Since early this year, the whole thing came up again. Since then, he became jobless again. The financial burden is all on me. Right now, we can't afford to renew our rent. I lost my business capital some times ago in wrong business, since then, it has been so much struggles.
I'm trying hard but it's not enough. I'm thinking of working away, but to where? what about my children? Who will be there for them? What about him? But I'm tired of being in a marriage where I have to struggle for everything, where I can not depend on my man. Pls, help us renew our house rent.
What do I do?
I feel your pains! Yiur case is like that of a woman whose husband has some mental issues. Yet she has two kids for him and she is still with him till today. The man is a civil servant.
In yiur own case, you saw the problem before yet yiu embraced it because of sentimental love.
You married him jobless believing that things would change. How sure are you?
He has some mental issues yet he did not tell you .By the time you know it was late. Please continue to bear up and God will provide a way out for you .What you need is a good job that yiu will use to take care of him and his innocent kids. Don't leave him now so that he will not comit suicide. because of loneliness. He needs you now..
I am interested in how the SC will judge the matter. In my opinion PVCs are necessary not TVCs. INEC is empowered by the law to regulate election matters. For example if yiur PVC is damaged You can still vote in Nigeria. You will use yiur thump print to identify yourself as long as your name is on the display. What this case will achieve is still a concern to me and what the plaintiffs desire in it is a subject for debate..
OsunOriginal: Thank you, the Law... Our brothers from the east should be educated on how the law works. They seem to always want to lead with sentiments. Even the lawyers among them... What's their problem?
my people in the East only understand Go They don't understand Come! Al they do is to interpret situations with sentiments even educated one among them including their so called lawyers.
Lifestone: Unfortunately, Emefiele was dishing out injustice to others when he was in power. We should all be careful on how we use power. Those who are in power today will one day eat their own breakfast. When you support impunity, you will one day be a victim.. Emefiele was said to have been arrested based on a completely new issue different from what the Judge pronounced on. It's the same thing with Nnamdi Kanu, the case against him was dismissed he should have been released but he's being kept on a new investigation/case
When a court grants bail for an accused person ,the accussed can be rearested outside the court for another offence for prosecution.
If a court says an accused is discharged he can be rearested outside the court for another offence or same offence for a better prosecution.
If the court says a person is discharged and acquitted in a case , nobody can rearrest him for the same offence again. He can however be prosecuted for another offence. (Modify) (Quote) (Report) (Share)
OsunOriginal: I have been reading with keen interest comments from Nigerians following the drama that ensued at the court premises between the DSS and the prison officials today. Since time immemorial and many times in the past, security agents have re-arrested accused persons after being granted bail by courts. An accused may be granted bail or even discharged in one case and then be re-arrested for another case within the court premises.
So, what is the noise about Emefiele's re-arrest?
Why did the prison officials act as if something unexpected was about to happen? Why did they act in a way that may be interpreted as preventing the law officers (DSS) from carrying out their duty?
Is there a law that says security agents can't arrest an accused within the court premises?

Penguin2: I told some guys here about a week ago that the section 299 that Tinubu lawyers and supporters are hinging on to argue that the FCT is just another state in Nigeria, only referred to the administration of the territory and did not preclude the place of the FCT as one of the provisions that must be satisfied before a presidential candidate is declared.
They argued with me then, but I’m happy to see my argument incorporated by Obi lawyers in their written address in response to Tinubu and Shettima at the tribunal.
Questions for determination:
1) If the FCT is a state (in the sense canvassed for by Tinubu lawyers and supporters) why was there no governorship election in the territory on March 18, 2023 when the rest of Nigerian states had their gubernatorial elections except for those whose election have been staggered?
2) In the 1979 constitution, the condition that a presidential candidate must satisfy before being declared a winner was to “get highest number of votes cast and 25% in 2/3 of the states of the federation.” No mention was made of the FCT which was Lagos then. The question therefore is, if it was not intended that a presidential candidate must score 25% in the FCT, why was that provision attached in the 1999 constitution? Why didn’t the requirement just end with “… and score 25% of votes cast in 2/3 of the states of federation as it was in the 1979 constitution?
3) Because the FCT has no elected governor or mayor, the president appoints a minister who administers the territory on his behalf. Does it not make sense therefore, that man who will appoint the administrator for this territory MUST have at least 25% approval of indigenes and residents of the territory?
The truth is that like is popularly said, the law is a bitch. It cares not about your sentiments and biases, it will serve justice by letters and spirit of the law.
Tinubu did not satisfy the constitutional provision to be declared a winner which makes his declaration null and void.
Fergie001 Lotanna2/Garfield1 Ejimatic et al (if una like sha)
It is not a state like Osun State Lagos State etc in naming but it has a toga of a state in representation.. During the presidential election it is always treated as a state. There are SC judgements on that which have never been vacated.. The veneer of FCT as a state will still be upheld at the AC and SC. I submit
00FFT00: I know some of you have been waiting for this.
So, in the matter pending at the presidential Elections Petitions Court, the petitioners have filed their final written address, which I will serialize as follows:
Attn. Mods: The following is Peter Obi's address. Please delete the thread if it offends any rules or sensitivities, but do not ban me. Thank you.
. ! From this submission,what is the final results of the election? 2. From this submission what is the postion of the SC on IREV results?
3. From this submission what is the postion of this SC on BAT / Shetimma candidacy?
4. From this submission which states does Obi want the rerun to take place?
5. From this submission will the AC see good grounds to order a rerun or declare Obi winner ? 6 From this submission who won between Obi and Atiku?
. Distribute food ? To how many states? The quantity? How much food will be sent to Lagos? This is another misdirected shot! Reverse all this satanic policy for now then life will be better naturally. Let subsidy removal start next year January when all other factors must have been considered!
. LP and PDP had no results to show that they won the election at the Tribunal. I expect they would present a Mmesoma election results at court. Yet they claimed they won with nothing to support it
