Asari dokubo in a support rally for Bola Ahmed Tinubu said that Onitsha, Anambra State is the dirty capital of the world.

I can't imagine how some people will feel on Monday 29 when BAT is sworn in as the president! The man hated in SE but loved across Nigeria. I heard some people want to present Senate President and be Lagos cabinet members. Please is it true? Congrats to the YORUBAS on this achievement and those who believe in BAT across the country!

. How much is the produced food in Nigeria? Any difference from imported rice and local rice? That policy made goods and foods costlier instead of reducing the prices of the foreign foods ! If Nigerian rice is 500 per congo who will buy 2000# per congo of the foreing rice? The Local rice is costlier than or close to the price of the foreign rice.

Convoy of the President-Elect of The Federal Republic of Nigeria Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu spotted in Abuja.

They shiukd go to Arise TV and greet them there!

internationalman:
Only Man City are the true English representative there. The rest are just there to complete the slot and mark register.

Arsenal should pray 10 - 2 don't befall them again..

As for Man utd, as long as there are Spanish teams in the competition they are going no where far in the competition.

Newcastle, I see them doing great things and going farther than Man United and Arsenal since they have nothing to lose, hence less anxiety...

Imagine the Anxiety that would befall Arsenal when they here Bayern Munich.

. The man with dirty mouth will drink water from the bucket of his mother.( Elenu rirun lo ni Amu iya we). Monkey no good but I mama like am. Arsenal will come back bigger and stronger next season for all comptetions!

. Look at the history of Nigeria prices go up daily over the regimes till today. Whoever thinks that rice will be 100 per congo in Nigeria is deceiving himself. SSCE was 60 naira before.Later 140 300 500 etc. Today close to 40 000.Any change? Yes What was the minimum wage before what is it now? All. My prayer is goods should be affordable to Nigerian masses with some considerable reduction. and a reversal of our economic policies in the interest of masses!

The eagle has landed.

The greatest of Nigerian current politicians.

The man who single handedly killed and buried PDP and all its subsidiaries.

The man who they see daily in their nightmares.

The man whose name alone send shivers down their spines.

The man who shut down Arise TV with his success!

DMerciful:
What his the benefit he is seeking to gain? Destroy the party he belongs to?

The new electoral law disqualifies him.It updates the previous one

fergie001:
He cannot because he is not an aspirant.
In the Electoral Act 2010, yes maybe he could but with this one now, no he can't. It is the National leadership of the Party that can tell who their members are.

The Court has no business with who is a member of the Party, it is the Party that decides.

In a February Supreme Court judgement between Ita Enang v. Akanimo Udofia... the SC was clear about that.

Udofia bought the PDP Guber form, was screened and defected to APC 2 nights before the APC Primary, after that of PDP had been conducted.

He had a waiver from the Party and the APC duly acknowledged they gave it to him and the SC said no P then.

In Agi v. PDP.... PDP gave Ayade the ticket but when the Court case started, down to the SC they denied Ayade isn't wasn't an up-to-date member. He proved to the Court he was and was affirmed.

The SC said fine... You cannot clear this man, say he is your member, he wins an election, then you come to the SC and say he is not your member.

. If the new electoral law recognizes only aspirants unlike the previous ones that accirded every member of the party,why this judgement then? The premise of this Kano judgement will easily be undermined by the AC in grifty!

fergie001:
They can (it depends on the 180 days)

In the Diri v Degi case, the election held Nov, the case was filed in Aug, FHC ruled in Oct, Appeal Court in Dec, SC in Jan.

If the FHC wanted to wait for 180 days, it will have expired in Feb...

. With 180 days over an AC can set the judgement aside Is the FHC not aware of the 180 day ultimatatum? Something is wrong definitely in the judgement!

fergie001:
The sack of all Labour Party Candidates in Abia and Kano States by a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, is on the hot burner.

The Originating Summons was filed by Mr. Ibrahim Haruna Ibrahim against the Labour Party (LP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. It allegedly borders on the failure of the 1st defendant (LP) to submit her membership register to the 2nd defendant (INEC) 30 days prior to the Primaries of the Party.

Section 77(3) of the Electoral Act reads: Each political party shall make such register available to the Commission not later than 30 days before the date fixed for the party primaries, congresses or Convention.

With Otti as a case study, the Abia Gov-Elect resigned from the APC on May 28 and won the Party Primary conducted on June 09, 2022.

However, I believe this judgement was delivered per incuriam.

Elections have been won and lost not only in Abia State but all over the Country, hence it is only through the elections petition tribunal that reliefs (if any) can be sought as of now.

It is trite law that jurisdiction is the life-blood and existence of any suit. No matter how finely delivered, the suit becomes null and void if the Court has no jurisdiction. Lokpobiri v. Ogola per Onnoghen JSC (as he then was).

The Court does not determine the membership of a Political Party. The Party determines her members.

Mr Haruna, the plaintiff, had deposed his OS on 11th May, 2023 well over one month after the election for a suit whose cause of action was June 2022. It is clearly statute-barred, divesting the court of jurisdiction to have entertained same. He ought to have come under Section 285 of the 1999 CFRN and filed 14 days after the course of action for it to be heard.

It is clear that the Federal High Court (Pre-Election) Practice 2022, Nos 3 & 4 were obviously not judiciously followed by the court.

The question that comes to my mind is:
- does the plaintiff even possess the locus to file this suit?

Section 84(14) of the Electoral Act reads:
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Act or rules of a political party, an aspirant who complains that any of the provisions of this Act and the guidelines of a political party have not been complied with in the selection or nomination of a candidate of a political party for election, may apply to the Federal High Court for redress.

Was Mr Haruna a candidate of the Labour Party in Abia State? The certain answer is NO. He had no locus, no business with the issues having not participated in the Primaries of the Party in that State.

Again, what comes to my mind is that relevant and interested parties were not joined.

Whilst non-joinder does not necessarily invalidate the proceedings of Court, the absence of a proper or necessary party before the Court renders the entire suit an exercise in futility, as a Court cannot validly make an order or decision which will affect a stranger to the suit, who was never heard nor given an opportunity to defend himself. (Katami v. Katami 2018) per Oho JCA

The proper thing was for the Judge to have allowed a window for necessary parties to be properly joined thereof, at worse.

The plaintiff did not bring himself to show cause why he should be taken seriously neither had he shown the injury he will suffer in Abia State if his suit isn't adjudicated upon.

Again, Can Section 77(3) of the Electoral Act override the Constitutional eligibility requirements of these Candidates in Abia and/or Kano?

Still on the disqualifications issue in APM v. Mr. Peter Obi: The Appeal Court per Anthony Ugochukwu Ogakwu JCA, held that Mr Peter Obi cannot be disqualified by Section 77(3) supra having satisfied the conditions of Sections 131 and 137 of the 1999 CFRN.

Sections 131 and 137 are direct and copious to Sections 177 and 182 (for Governors).

The plaintiff's apparent lack of locus standi should have deprived the trial court of the jurisdiction to grant the relief sought by the plaintiff in his OS.

When the plaintiff has been found not to have the standing to sue, the question whether other issues in the case had been properly decided or not does not arise. The position of the law is to dismiss same (Maxi Okwu & Anor v. INEC & Ors) per Okoro JSC

Interestingly, Justice M N Yunusa contradicted himself when he held that:

"... the candidates that participated in the Abia election are not parties before the court, he lacks the jurisdiction to make an order on the issuance of certificate of return."

Then again

“....That the failure of the 1st Defendant (Labour Party) to submit its register of members in Kano state and Abia state is in crass breach of the provisions of section 77(3) of the Electoral Act, 2022 and the purported primary elections of the 1st defendant is invalid, null and void and of no effect,”

Whilst Justice Yunusa invalidated the Primaries that produced Otti, he had neither restrained nor asked INEC to withdraw the Certificate of Returns issued to the Gov-Elect/NASS Candidates. In lay terms, he made no consequential orders.

This should normally not stop the inauguration for NASS Candidates and/or Otti, however, it has to be vacated or appealed as the judgement is valid and subsisting.

It is wholesomely clear that this suit have no scintilla of merit and will not survive the scrutiny of higher Courts.

. As to the interest of the plaintiff ,I think as long as he is a arty member and a decider in the LP primaries he can institute the case. A non party member can never be a party in the siut.

. My only concern is whether a FHC can rule on disqualification even after election. Cases of Deogi and Mafawara in Bayelsa and Zamfara ckearky show that even before and shortly after election a federal Hugh Court ,AC abd SC. can overrule any Victory of a political party!

shonepa:
But bro no be all police officers dey wear uniform. My arguement be say people dey talk about uniform, but the fact is, is it right to even slap anybody?

. Ordinary fight between two individuals is possible but it is not the police business. However if it eass to bloodshed it is becoming another issue. The truth is the way a person is brought up will determine if he will be fighting in public . People differ with their orientation. There is nothing better than staying calm even under provocation! It prevents unpalatable embarrassment!

As long as he has been given an injunction to act as the Chairman ,he must be viewed as that. The only court that can set aside that injection is an higher court ,AC ,not another FHC. That is the postion of the SC on such a matter.

I hereby appeal to him to overlook the matter and rescind his curse.

Kemade Adebayo removed Bola Ige's cap at Ile-Ife in Oonis Palace. Till today he is still struggling with life after spending years at Agodi prison.

In what looked like a script off of a fictional novel, the unbelievable happened today on our nation’s premiere Tv station, the NTA when the wooden backdrop used to identify the program on air fell on the presenter of the program on live Tv.

The presenter literally shouted Jesus and ran out of the stage.

Which NTA sub station is this ? Yiu observe that the substation is not indicated at all. For I believe it just a make believe presentation to cause traffic on the YouTube.

I went to site today to complete the roofing stage in one of my buildings. Some workers were doing the wood work while i directed some to clear the compound because it was bushy.

One of the workers shouted snake and before a blink of an eye, they killed the snake. Cut off the head and tail and kept the body to be consumed later. I took some photos to share here because i know Lala and nairalanders love snakes.

This is OKA in Yoruba land!

How u go dey compare FBI with Nigerian police.

Have u forgotten 2pac shot 2 off duty white cops for harassing a black man. He won the case.

The police seff no dey above the law.

Can yiu see now my brother?Two off duty officers withiut uniform. Any officer off duty is like any other citizen ...The NPF is the precursur of their maltreatment with their money collection points around the country.Who will take them serious?

Of course, why not, David Koresh took 4 ATF agents to their death, you are here complaining of holding a korofo police man against his will?
