EducationDo States Have An Obligation To Settle Their Disputes Peacefully? by Elvis295(op): 4:54pm On Mar 13, 2018
The prevailing view is that, in the absence of special agreement, states are under no international legal obligation to settle, or even try to settle, their dispute it is well established in particular that, aside special agreement, they have no obligation to submit their disputes to third parties for impartial settlement.
However, those States that are parties to the U.N. Charter (which means, in effects, almost all of the world’s nations) have assumed at least certain broad treaty obligations in this respect.
Article 1(1) of the Charter provides that the first of the purposes of the United Nations Organization shall be:
to maintain international peace and security and to that end:……. to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.

As the year is rounding up we just need to also stop this "in Jesus name" thing. The right thing is "in Jesus' name". Don't ignore the apostrophe ('). If this is difficult for you just simply say "in the name of Jesus".

happy new year in advance.

That's a big lie and misleading of Nigeriand. Brisket is apart of an animal and most times it's even impossible to see bones in the brisket. However the bones in the brisket can be called brisket bones but it is not the same bone we are referring to Nigeria, what Nigerians call biscuit bones can be found anywhere in the body of an animal.
EventsUntold Story Of The Effect Of The Civil War In Abonnema, Rivers State. by Elvis295(op): 6:37pm On Jun 19, 2017
THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE EFFECT OF THE CIVIL WAR IN ABONNEMA TOWN (NYEMONI),
RIVERS STATE AND HOW THE GO-TO-NIGER FESTIVAL CAME ABOUT.

By Elvis Sonny , Esq.

The term "Ga'a-Niger" was taken from the IBO dialect and "Ga'a" in Ibo means "GO-TO".
"Niger" was the short form of Royal Niger Company which later changed its name to United African Company (UAC). It was a British trading company that existed right from the colonial days situated by the shore of River Sombrero at Briggs compound in Akuku-Toru Local Government Area (Rivers state).

Ultimately, when the Biafran army held siege of Abonnema and the indigenes were to be evacuated to "AGADA" waterside, the evacuees were asked to Go-to-Niger, the point of evacuation. That was how Ga'a-Niger was coined.

The town of Abonnema was under siege and blockade for more than six months within which period the innocent citizens were dehumanized and appallingly executed on their own fatherland.

For the period of the outbreak of the civil war, because of the breathing political differences and enmity among the people of Abonnema as a result of the curtailed First Republic, the animosity in them was conveyed into the war.

Subsequently, when the Biafran army finally laid siege of Abonnema, individuals who were in the good book of the Biafran forces used the star-crossed and doomed opportunity to persecute those of them whom they supposed to be their political rivalries.

This disdainful and evil act led to killing of their own brothers and sisters. It was a horrible sight to watch our own people labelled saboteurs, flogged and stoned to death, and their properties destroyed.

People in the face of this tribulation were dehumanized with houses looted and razed down to ashes. The atmosphere was so apprehensive that brothers never stood to converse on the streets else you are labelled saboteurs.
These Biafrans had our children as whistleblowers who paraded the community to fish around for information on who comes in and goes out; and to with immediate alacrity report such people for arrest and onward execution in public.

An organized persecution was instituted to squeeze the life out of our people economically, and in addition curfew was imposed on the people. Abonnema was like the German concentration camp and anyone caught escaping was arraigned at the water front and shot dead.
It was a situation that cried to heaven for condemnation.

The whole episode of the event was like the day St. Paul wrote to Timothy: the day when men became lovers of self without affection, and hell was let loosed and men became covetous, taking pride in unleashing terror upon the people.
All that existed then was masochism, sadism and brutality. In fact it was genocide committed against the people of Nyemoni, and for those who had the temerity and impetus to speak against the wicked act and injustices meted against their people. They were stripped naked and tied to stay under the fierce heat of the sun till they dosed off or fainted.

There was weeping, red eye, mourning and gnashing of teeth virtually in every household in Abonnema that called for the emergence of a messiah that never came until the enemies had done their worst atrocities.

The atmosphere of reminiscence became that of homesickness, fraternal relationship became nauseating and sour. The unpleasant smell of blood and evil tarnished all over the place.

Men and women were beaten until they could feel no pain and their hearts struggling to pump blood; young men and boys were conscripted to carry arms for what they do not have idea of. Beautiful women forcefully taken by the Biafran soldiers. It was the ultimate price our people paid for a crime they did not commit to retain this land of liberty and love—Nyemoni (translated in English as “COVET YOUR OWN”).

The actions were nothing short of despicable abomination. The perpetrators were mostly of the IBO origin. The temples of the reasoning of our people were blown through the ceiling and our structures shattered.

People were found fighting hunger from death while young children were left and neglected by their parents without anyone to care for them until they slept off in the hands of death songs. At the height of this protracted evil experience which even Lucifer and his agents would want to lose sight of, people were still found looting properties. Honestly, our young girls were sexually ill-treated and desecrated.

War, I say is not a verbal communication for any rational being as nothing excellent can be derived from it knowing its associated affliction. Though, it is a fact that at times we make war that we may love in peace according to Machiavellian theory, yet it is a deviation of peace and growth.

As the attack continued in the city there was a dreadful air-raid at the market square that left behind scores of our people dead. Until date a monument is built in memory of these victims at the town square. The effect of this strike until date is registered on the concrete walls of St. Paul's Nyemoni Cathedral, Abonnema.

The pinnacle of these brutal mayhems eventually tranformed into evacuation of the indigenes from the point of Royal Niger Trading company premises through AGADA where the people were to continue another exodus to a land strange to them in Ibo land. That was how the word "Ga'a-Niger" emanated. IT WAS A POINT OF EVACUATION OF THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ABONNEMA TO THE IBO LAND TO SETTLE THERE.

The eyes that witnessed this horrible event of agony would never in history pardon the Biafran forces.

Men and women, children and their parents lamented copiously as they carried whatever they could lay hands on as they were forced out of their fatherland. It was at the summit of these unforgivable atrocities, when all hopes were lost that the God of force, delightfully intervened with divine hands.
Out of the blue, the Federal troop emerged via the swamp through the creek called "ALICE OKOLO" with superior and larger fire arms which kept the whole of Biafran troops in Abonnema in total fright and confusion.

It was exactly 12:00 noon in the beloved month of June 21, 1968 when the Federal troop liberated Abonnema from these insurgents who contrived the killing and sufferings of the people, and there was prolonged applause, ovation and shout of "ONE NIGERIA" everywhere and songs like:
"Ojukwu wanted to separate Nigeria, but Gowon said Nigeria must be one, we are fighting together with Gowon to make Nigeria One."

Thus, the yearly festival "GO-TO-NIGER" to commemorate the obnoxious event.
Every 21 June, all sons and daughters match out to celebrate the liberation of Abonnema.

The Biafran insurgents hearing the fire power knew that the fatal time had come and so they took to their heels into the creek not knowing how intertwined these creeks were. Unfortunately, as strangers who neither knew how to swim nor where to escape to their axis were surrounded by the Federal troops into whose hands they fell and were vengefully massacred and slaughtered. For few who escaped into the mangrove got drowned when the river over flowed its bank. And others after several days of starvation came out from their hiding places and submitted themselves for a commensurate punishment.

To tell the truth, when the Federal troop had entirely gained control of Abonnema, those of them who survived the Biafran onslaught decided to avenge for all the heartless treatment they suffered by going house to house to point out those saboteurs who contrived the dehumanization of the people. And they were all arraigned and publicly executed before the face of their people which served as a deterrent to other potential saboteurs.

This was a true incident of the civil crisis that bedeviled Abonnema which claimed millions of human lives in three years of arms hostility.
The stories from neighboring communities like BUGUMA, BAKANA were not pleasant for the ears too. The IKWERRE people also had a bitter taste of this pogrom.
Some other people may have a more frightening encounter but in earnest, I think no superior encounter could be experienced than what is here unambiguously handed down in this missive of importance.
Nobody wants to go through this experience again in this present beautiful time.
Coup, uprising, rebellion, insurgency and unwarranted agitations are no longer fashionable.

So my brothers and sisters, let us not do anything that could usher in another war, having circumspectly perused through this account of facts; for no cost will be too great to avoid this dreadful and unwarranted act of criminal agitation and rebellion.

EducationDissecting The True Meaning Of "School Certificate Or Its Equivalent" by Elvis295(op): 1:30am On Jun 13, 2017
Dissecting the meaning of "SCHOOL CERTIFICATE OR ITS EQUIVALENT" under the 1999 Constitution.

Today I was put on the spot by my landlord to explain to him the meaning of "school certificate or its equivalent" in our 1999 constitution.
In the cool evening while I was sitting outside doing justice to my fried potato and egg supported by a bottle of amstel malt, my landlord walked up to me dangling an old newspaper. " I have been very worried about this issue of School certificate", he said.
"why?" I asked.
He quickly flipped through the pages of the newspaper. I saw a familiar headline.
"You are a lawyer please explain to me" he pleaded with me. Ordinarily, this should come with consultation fee but sincé it's my guy I hađ to let it out pro bonö. I alsö had the impulse of shàring it with my beloved friends here who had been baffléd about this issue.

CAVEAT: This is not to aid anyoñe's polítical ambitíon but a way to give back to the society with the truth, nothing but the truth.

Here is what I explained to him:

The 1999 Constitution is not in any way ambiguous on the matter. Production of secondary school certificate or its equivalent is not a mandatory requirement of being eligible to contest election into an elective post.

Undoubtedly, Section 65(2)(a), 106(c), 131(d) and 177(d) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) prescribe Secondary School Leaving Certificate as the minimum educational qualification of candidates contesting election to the offices of Natioñaĺ Assembly, state house of Assembly, President and Goveřnor respecťively of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The sections stipulate that candidates must be “educated up to at least School Leaving Certificate Level or its equivalent.”

When the above provisions are construed in their ordinary grammatical meanings, persons who do not possess the Secondary School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent are not qualified to contest election to those offices. In other words, upon a cursory reading of those Sections, it is easy to come off with the impression that unless a person possesses the Secondary School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent (Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate), he or she is ordinarily not eligible to contest for those officeş. A similar interpretation will be given to other provisions on qualification of candidates in respect of other elective posts/offices such as local government chairmen and councillors.

The above provisions must however be read along with Section 318(1) of the said constitution, which is the interpretation Section. It becomes crystal clear, upon a careful reading of the said Interpretation Section, that even persons whose educational qualifications are below the Secondary School Leaving Certificate/level and its equivalent are still qualified to contest election, if they possess the Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent along with the other requirements listed under the said definition Section (Section 318(1)).

For the avoidance of doubt, Section 318(1) (INTERPRETATION SECTIOÑ) provides:

“School Certificate or its equivalent” means -

(a) A Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or

(b) Education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or

(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and-

(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and

(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year, and

(iii) The ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission; and

(d) Any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission.


There is the need to acknowledge the trite rule of interpretation of Statutes which is to the effect that a Section of a Statute should not be construed in isolation. All sections in a Statute must be interpreted conjunctively, especially where the Statute has a definition Section, as it is the case with the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Sections 65(2)(a), 106(c), 131(d) and 177(d) must therefore be construed in conjunction with Section 318(1) of the constitution which defines the words “School Certificate or its equivalent.”

It is evident from the above definition Section of the Constitution (Section 318(1)), that the meaning of “School Certificate or its equivalent”, for the purpose of Sections 65(2)(a), 106(c), 131(d) and 177(d) of the Constitution, is very liberal and accommodating. The provisions accommodate persons with the Primary School Leaving Certificate coupled with private or public sector experience and who have attended courses and training for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year. Such primary school certificate holders must also demonstrate ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of INEC. The definition of “School Certificate or its equivalent” also includes candidates who are educated up to the Secondary School Certificate level. These candidates need not produce certificates evidencing that they passed secondary school examination. What they must produce is evidence of being educated up to the secondary school level. This is unlike the other requirement of Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent or Grade II Teachers Certificate, or City and Guilds Certificate under Paragraphs(a) of the definition. The difference between (a) and (b)above is that under (a), production of a Certificate is mandatory. In (b), what is required is evidence of “education up to Secondary School Certificate level”. While it may well be that production of a Certificate is evidence which proves(b), it is not the only mode of proving(b). Testimonials, Reference Letters and Affidavits are legitimate vehicles of proof that a candidate has been “educated up to Secondary School Certificate level.“As a matter of fact, the (d)part of the above definition is much more elastic and accommodating. It recognizes “any other qualification acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission” as a qualification to contest election to the offices of Senàte/house of Rep., House of Assembly, Governor and President and other elective posts. It suffices to state that a candidate who relies on (c) must produce his/her primarý school leaving certificate popularly called First schooĺ leaving certificate.
