And when the try to remit to their countries, there”ll be no dollar. That again would add to the pressure on banks and FG.

Anyway, let’s way and see if there”ll be any improvements.

Can you mention a single law maker who ever lost his seat because of porting to other party?
Dogara? Saraki? Some just dumped one party for other in Enugu state recently.

Read the below:


“Federal High Court sitting in Akure has sacked a member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Ifedayo Abegunde representing Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency, for defecting from the party from which he was elected.

Abegunde was elected into the House of Representative on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) during the April 2011 general elections, but defected to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) after a few months.

He had approached the court for judicial protection against his recall by the Ondo State House of Assembly and the Labour Party.

Joined in the suit are the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Abegunde’ s counsel, Chief Adekola Olawoye had argued that by the provisions of Section 68(1) (G)) of the 1999 Constitution and the imbroglio, division and factionalization in LP, he is entitled to dump the party.

The defence counsel led by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ondo state, Mr. Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) with the state’s Director of Civil Litigation, Rotimi Olamide submitted that since Abegunde had dumped LP and has not proved any division within party, he has automatically vacated his seat as a federal lawmaker.

The defendants also prayed that the electoral body should conduct by-election to fill the vacant seat.

In her judgment, presiding judge, Justice Gloria Okeke noted that without a political party, no candidate can contest an election since there is no provision for independent candidacy in Nigerian elections.

Citing a Supreme Court decision in Amaechi vs INEC (2008) 5 NWLR Pt. 1080, she added that “if it is only a party that canvasses for votes, it follows that it is a party that wins an election. A good or bad candidate may enhance or diminish the prospect of his party in winning, but at the end of the day it is the party that wins or loses an election.

Okeke held further that Abegunde could not prove the alleged division and crisis in LP by the virtue of the letter signed by the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Akin Orebiyi that “we are not aware of any crisis or issue concerning dispute in LP.

“We were also present at the Congress that produced the elected and recognized State Chairman of the party. As far as INEC was concerned, there was no crisis or factionalization in LP in Ondo State.

According to her, the issue raised by Abegunde was not a dispute that should warrant his defection to the ACN, adding that it is a constitutional matter that a parliamentarian who defects in this manner “shall (mandatory and not a mere directive, not a matter of opinion) vacate his seat”.

“Since it is the 9th defendant, Labour Party that sponsored the plaintiff (Abegunde) in the election into the House of Representatives to represent Akure North/Akure South Federal Constituency and defected on account of unproven imbroglio, crisis, dispute and factionalization in the party, the plaintiff has lost the seat and should therefore vacate the seat and I so hold” Okeke ruled.

While Jegede hailed the judgment as a landmark in the annals of the Nigerian legal history, the plaintiff’s counsel, Olawoye, who described the judgment as unacceptable, said his client will appeal against the judgment”


This case went on to the Supreme Court and the judgements of the lower courts were upheld in 2015.

If you stay in Lagos, you wouldn't make such statement
You see people leaving their houses by 4 am just to get to work on time, due to hold up.
"If she came with the school bus, sometimes the bus gets to school by 10; they will definitely not throw her out of the school"

Between the mother and the school, there must be an outstanding issue. The business is very competitive and schools want to have as many students as possible. We need to hear from the school too.

Again, schools need to be more understanding with time. Parents have various reasons why children get to school late. Some can be traffic. Some can be finance. Some can be domestic disagreements leading to delay in going to school. For some reason the car fails to start; parents cannot find the mechanic, etc. There has to be patience and parents must always remember to put calls across to the school authorities when such things come up.

May God help parents and schools.

Jakumo:
You have highlighted the greatest benefit of cheap surveillance drones, which is that they can pinpoint the location of criminal encampments very quickly and without alerting the targets that the police have their coordinates that will used be to coordinate ambush attacks that have the potential to save kidnap victim lives. The element of surprise works in favor of law enforcement consistently, once it becomes possible to view real-time or recently filmed surveillance video footage during those vital minutes when task-force commanders plan counterattacks against hidden criminals so easily spotted from the air.

And do you know that it is so simple. Why they choose to ignore the right things, baffle people like me.

BadBradley:
an interim order is not a judgment of court.

But can a lower court contradict the judgement of the Supreme Court or constitutional provisions? Please tell us.

With that 1000 naira worth of moi moi he purchased his ticket to a correctional center to reside for the rest of his life. While there he can use the garri given to him as the combination to complete the meal.

A very big for nothing ugly looking man.

It is very unfortunate that Nigerians found themselves in this hole. While ignoring the provision of food and security first, they quickly begin the construction of a 15 trillion coastal highway, which construction, will outlast their government.

Now he will reside permanently in a correctional center. Since he failed to live like proper humans, a correctional center better suits him, where he”ll meet people of his level and thinking.

Needs are essentials/priorities while wants are secondary

Please with the description of the items in her small shop, can you single out the essentials, priorities and secondary?

helinues:
Perhaps, your line of business is not what people needs but wants

So simple to assume.
Can you differentiate between “need” and “want” please?

Ancient Egypt, always good to read in history.

Jakumo:
This is by far one of the most viscerally terrifying kidnapping accounts that I have ever read in recent times. For typical law-abiding citizens who have never contemplated harming another human being, it is impossible to visualize the depth of heartless, sadistic evil that resides in the hearts of career criminals who injure, maim, and kill their victims as a matter of daily routine. This first-hand account of a kidnap ordeal provides a jarring insight that lays bare in stark relief the abject paralyzing horror movie that is Nigeria in 2024.

Surveillance drones are required for deployment by police formations all over the Nigerian federation. With a round-trip mission range of well over ten miles, a used $500 DJI Mavic 2 Pro fitted with a new $200 extra-range battery sold online by Ali Express, could be issued to EVERY police station in the federation, after adequate laptop-based simulator training has been given to the drone operators. With this $700 security investment in all or some of Nigeria's police stations, and with flight batteries charged at a centrally located solar-powered drone battery charging station in each town, the tide can very quickly be turned against the kidnap gangs now proliferating with alarming speed all over the Nigerian federation.

Unfortunately, the same law officers will sabotage it.
We suffer a very big shame with some law officers in this country. One wonders how in this age of advanced technology, this country battles with these rag tag criminals and vipers on our highways. To think that the police do not even have trackers is a monumental disgrace.

How then with all the hefty budgets can things ge appropriately carried out? Even when the equipments are provided, we hear of security officers who share surveillance and intelligence secrets with bandits and kidnappers. The honest ones find out at the point that all their efforts wasted.

From all the security budgets of governors, how is it so difficult to purchase drones and trackers? What’s the point purchasing Hilux’s and bikes, when technology can penetrate much deeper and faster?

It is indeed very sad.

BadBradley:
watch the court of appeal throw out that mumu interim order

Court of appeal to throw out the ruling of the Supreme Court? That order of the high court simply complied with the ruling of the Supreme Court. The moment they ported to APC, they lost their seats. The ruling of the Supreme Court is not binding on just one party, but all.

Where did you guys get such wrong interpretation from?

HeadNigga:
I want one.i go pay 500k for it. I just want to keep it in my archives so that I can tell my children how worthless things become with time...just for them to know that iphone 25 will still fade away

I tied them in one nylon and kept them safely. Once Iin a while when I look at my things and stumble on them, I feel good.

I have actually set them aside as some form of memorabilia.

Fubara on ascendency.

Having vacated their seats, they should simply pick up their things and return to their personal houses. Under his watch as the governor, Wike would have revoked their Cs of O and destroyed their personal houses. Martins Amaewhule and his co-sojourners should relocate to their personal homes.

Notice how APC supporters just blab? Notice how they are so confused while trying to defend the indefensible?
They must admit that BAT caused problems on his Inauguration day. His joy caused him to make the announcement earlier than it could have happened. We are in it. We can see how the same IMF has turned around to pretend like saints?
There are issues that must be handled properly. How can one convince BAT and Umahi, along with their blind supporters that the coastal road is not the immediate need of Nigerians.

We must see serious actions against terrorist, bandits and land grabbers. We must see serious actions against poverty in the land. The 15 trillion or so, if channeled into the health sector, should deal with medical tourism. We must see action against oil stealing. We must see government uniting citizens.

Now the governor shows his power. Wike long would have even thrown the 27 out of their own personal houses, not to talk of their quarters.

Now the court holds them by their testicles. They cannot continue with their illegitimate actions. Again they cannot live in the quarters, neither can they sit in the government house. The governor has declared them persona non grata. He told them three days ago that they were nothing and now he has showed it to them.

Wike fought against godfatherism and made himself hypocritically a godfather. His greed affects his so called structure. Every governor wants to have their structure as the state party leader. I think Fubara must be allowed to run his state. However he must also run with respect for all and dignity.

I must purchase one.
I had three of them for close to ten years. Infact people begged me to drop them even though I had other phones.
I still have the three. If there are awards given for usage of Nokia 3310, I should get one.

All options appear to have failed.

What can government next perform? All hands must be on deck, even though we know that some wrong persons are in position of authority.

What has happened with stealing of crude oil?
Has round tripping been effectively dealt with?
With Dangote operating, has the need for forex reduced?
What must be done to help?

Certainly it will be difficult to get him bail on liberal terms. Again, it is hoped that he made friends with Kings, Senators and civil servants on grade level 17 in his state. Those are required to sign his bail bond. Natasha Akpoti cannot be counted as one because they are political enemies.

We are still waiting to see an example set with one looting ex governor. They generally seem to get away with their loot.

Sabotage ur economy how?pls giv instances.Dont forget, Nigeria does have any reasonable law guiding operations of crypto.uk has small tax cryto traders pay.truth is the detention of their executive without recourse to the law court is unlawful .There is ICC for tins like this

Allegation of dubious persons using Binance for:

Terrorist financing
Currency speculation
Market manipulation
Distorting the Nigerian economy
Weakening the Naira against other currencies

Allegations against Binance:

Tax evasion

Do you know that last November, Binance pleaded guilty to violating U.S. anti-money-laundering requirements and agreed to pay a $4.3 billion?

Have I answered your questions?

Every single person with a brain in Nigeria knows that People’s Gazette is the print media propaganda and lying arm of the Obidient movement. It’s just like asking if Peter Obi owns AriseTV despite everyone knowing the station is anti-Tinubu and pro- Obi.

I have attached screenshots of tweets from the guy showing he’s not an APC member or supporter. You bitter Obidient should be ashamed of yourself for still supporting indulging in the same lies and propaganda that couldn’t win Gbajue the presidency last year.

But how did you avoid the screenshot at the heading of the guy cheekily telling Obi that he is as still campaigning after the election?

He has no business with Obi. He’s business rotates between APC, PDP and finally NNPP. You have denied him, now that he has killed his friend because of money.

Anyway, for a clearer understanding, I prescribe one bottle of BITTER OBI herbal mixture for you to be taken thrice a day for one week.

Zinox manufactures computers!

They’ve been doing so for over 20 years. That’s Leo Stan Ekeh.

Cars are manufactured in Nigeria. We may called them assembly plants, but in reality they are manufactured at various companies here. We also have trucks and armored vehicles.

Unfortunately corruption, unfair competition and high taxation would never let them thrive.

He fooled himself.
Party secretariats are not motor park garages where executives are changed by guns and knives. He has no place there and his actions are null and void.

What an idiot.

FEROTEX never built an airport before and yet received such humongous sum into their account. If there was no collaboration or agreement, why was the money neither returned to state government treasury or reported to EFCC for necessary action.

Please set politics aside and move the state forward.

Well he’s not going anywhere. The same northern elders supported him in the name of M/M ticket believing that he was the most qualified. They must be patient with him to see how it plays out. They were patient with baba go slow for eight years. The ticket will not get to them until another seven years.

Wicked friend.

Very sad. Very horrible. What an evil friend. A wicked friend who has lost his freedom and control over his own life. For such a vicious way of killing his friend, Shariah law must be applied on him and his gang.

And the deceased, with such a beautiful car and 3m. Why spend such amount to get into FIRS? The answer simply would be corruption? The belief that it would be looting bazaar for him in FIRS. He lost all, unfortunately.

In all, beware of evil friends who stick around in the name of relationships. This fellow was never a friend. He was always jealous of his friend’s achievements and was looking long ago for ways to kill him.

These are those called “faceless people”. The same people who quickly write petitions to the sane EFCC in favour of themselves and clients when they lose their monies.

The man on the right though. Why does he have such round shining head with bulging eyes? Put that man as a local government chairman and hear how much he’ll steal. The black one on the left looks like a public school student. The one in the center has ears like a ceiling fan!

vengertime:
So why disturb me if I lose my money. They can never stop it for sure. I made my money through Bitcoin without scamming anyone. Americans, Europeans and Asians are making money online but only 5th world country like Nigeria think it's destroying Naira. Hilarious

That’s sentimental please. Bitcoin is banned in many countries. Do you want to call China, Russia, Turkey and India 5th world countries. Bitcoin is banned in Iran, Bolivia and even Ghana. Do you think that they do not know the problem with Bitcoin? When central banks of such countries say that Bitcoin subverts economies, do you think they are foolish. Where do you find the biggest underground crooks, if not such countries already mentioned?

It is allowed in Japan, the U.K., and most other developed countries, but many countries disallow on the basis of the effect on their economies. In the U.S., the IRS considers bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies property, issuing appropriate tax treatment guidelines for taxpayers. However Nigeria, just like Sierra Leone, Algeria and Morocco say no.

If the laws of countries say no, the citizens have the responsibility to obey until proven otherwise.
