Friend01:
If you don't like what the humbke prof has posited why not just scroll past it instead this level of narrow mindedness you displayed.

You think democratic laws is as expanding and comprehensive as they Islāmic system?
I wouldn't waste my time trying to school you on the benefits of operating an Islamic law knowing you hatred (or perhaps dislike) for it) for it.

I understand the poor understanding you people have of Islām that is why most of you make this bad argument whenever you hear anything Islaam.

And mind you, there is no such thing as Christian law. You people are only trying to imitate muslims to save face that is why you are propounding what does not and will never exist.

Islamic norms which you may be referring to is good. I have no dislike for it.

Any means of controlling human beings which engenders peace and harmony is acceptable by me.

But, your own scholarship ought to have made you know by now that Islamic law is unwritten. At best, it may be used as a customary rules of conduct.

Cloud007:
Please let's leave Islam out of this. Nigeria constitution might not be perfect but explicit enough for NJC to take decision.

Prof. A.A. Alaro, has shown that upon his acclaimed academic qualifications, his level of civilization is below expectation.

So Islamic law is applicable in this matter, Ooh!

Can we suggest Christian approach to a national issues?
The Islamic section in Nairaland here is a nogo area for non muslins, as they like exclusionary approach.

Well Prof. Alaro: The Common Law which is applicable to the fact in issue is recognized, real, nonfictional and civilized. But your so called Sharia Law exists only in you imagination and your revered folklore.
You should not subject CJN Onoghen to the dictates of a folklore.

Pidginwhisper:
WTF. Looks like she's suffering from a chronic illness/disease. She's only 50yrs of age.


I weep for her

Wow!

You know fearless Dean, brother of Samy?

megacity:
This is important for us to check if the acting CJN declared all his accounts


It will be grossly unfair to replace one CJN who didnt declare his accounts with another CJN who equally didnt declare all his accounts

You are on point.

But I wonder if the powers that be is ready to do that.

And, did you at any time see President Buhari's asset declaration form and his BVN?

Don't get heart attack pls.

BrightEye:
This issue is going to cause war. Note that.

How pls?

goodlifehyd:
Those on the list were already in Abuja before the suspension of the exCJN and mind you the list is compiled by the chief judge of every state

List comprising the Dead?

Sorry, by my own sense of reasoning, I don't accept things just because I am told so. I search for FACTS

goodlifehyd:
Those on the list were already in Abuja before the suspension of the exCJN and mind you the list is compiled by the chief judge of every state

Onoghens list wasn't 250 persons

goodlifehyd:
So it was Tanko that compiled the list right? Well it was done by ur almighty WALTER

Take it easy.

Zombies aren't hard to detect

neighbourhud:
And somebody will come and BUHARI no dey work


In his administration, even ancestors are considered for appointments

Spotted!

I can confirm you aren't a zombie. Its obvious by your reasoning

Ellie01:
Is 24hrs too short to doctor d list? Buharu has a trade mark of bringing back d dead in most of his appointments

I give it to you.

You just nailed it!

Am glad, am not the only normal person on Nairaland. I was getting worried that I may be the only non-Zombie here, but seeing your sense of reasoning shows you are perfect and I trust our types (normals) are many.

keighsee2003:
Someone somewhere said Onnoghen compiled the list. What if the list was amended. Has Onnoghen agreed that was his list or that he even had a list. Always listen to both sides first, then choose. As for me, I find it worthy of suspicion that you stop a man from releasing a list, then after you release it you now come and tell me that was the list he wanted to release.

You are stressing yourself unnecessarily.

Even if you are new on Nairaland, you should know mischief makers are all over here. They know Oneghen did not constitute this list, but they won't say the truth, else their APC led government will look stupid.

We have gotten used to the falsehood and adumbrated matters from APC and their BMC on Nairaland.

list and on the first official outing of the new acting CJN, then Nigeria may be heading towards a doom.

“If dead and retired men are to sit on our election petition tribunal, then the APC-led federal government is out to drown this country and we vehemently reject a list parading dead men as members of the tribunal,” they said.


When you think you have seen the highest blunders, a more sophisticated one will be invented

Nothing has made Christianity in Africa look like a serious joke more than the import of foreign beliefs and practices from African Traditional Religion and several other religions, corrupting the simplicity of Life we have in Christ.

Of all these borrowed beliefs and practices, the subject of spiritual wife, spiritual husband and spiritual babies seem to the most prevalent in this region and other places where Christians still struggle to understand basic Bible doctrines.

In Africa, it is not uncommon to find naive believers running from pillar to post in search of “special deliverance” from “wives” or “husbands” they believed to be married to in the realm of the Spirit.

If you had a dream where you are sitting together with kids on a dinning table and a beautiful young lady serves you food, the most common advice you will get when you wake up will be to meet a “very powerful” man of God to be delivered from a spiritual wife and babies.

What if you happen to have sex in the dream, especially with an unknown short black man? You will be subjected to several days of different deliverance sessions to be freed from the strongholds of a very powerful spiritual husband.

It is widely believed dreams like these will result to problems in marriage, business, academics and serious “bad-luck” in life generally if nothing is done about them.

So you find genuine Spirit-filled Christians entering all sorts of places in a bid to get “divorced” from their spiritual wives and husbands.

But what does the Bible truly say concerning the believer in Christ and spiritual marriage?

First, the believer in Christ is possessed of God spirit, soul and body. He is God’s property bought with the precious blood of His Son.

“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:20

The above verse says both your body and spirit are God’s own since He paid a price for them.

Having purchased you for Himself, He joined you together with Christ via His Spirit.

“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” 1 Corinthians 6:17

Like an already purchased item would be marked and separated so no one except the owner tampers with it, God also marked your spirit, soul and body “mine” so no other strange spirit husband goes near you.

“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

You are now joined or married to only one man - Jesus. And by that union, He has delivered you forever from the power and reach of darkness.

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Ephesians 1:12-13

Peter in his writing also gave witness to this complete deliverance we have in Christ.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” 1 Peter 2:9.

So don’t let a mere dream disturb the peace of your heart nor let any man trouble you with dream interpretations that do not have concrete footing in the scripture.

The believer in Christ does not, cannot and will never ever have any other spiritual husband apart from Christ. This is what the Bible teaches.

Do not take whatever any demon might have said at various “deliverance” prayer sessions as a basis to believe in spirit husbands or spirit wives. According to Jesus, the Devil is a liar and the father of it. He is an expert at presenting lies as truth. Only the Word holds the truth and we should stick to it.

What do you do if you happen to dream of such things today?[b][/b]

It’s quite simple. You praise the name of the Lord, hand over the dream to God and go about your daily life like nothing happened.

If the Lord drops an interpretation in your heart (not contrary to the scriptures like the idea of Spirit spouse and kids) you pray and run with it. If you do not receive any special interpretation about it, you still trust His Word. Either way, be at complete rest, your Saviour got your back.

Most times, dreams like the two above are just our bodies and mind working together to bring the need for intimacy to attention.

Let no dream of any kind terrify or take away your joy!

Nobody misleads an already lost person.
Buhari could not have been misled, because he had already made up his mind which way things would go.
A little psychological analysis would tell you that Buhari cares for NOBODY except himself!
Not Tinubu, not Atiku(when they were friends), not Osibanjo, not even Malami when the time comes.
Read OBJ description of his friend Buahri for better understanding!

But in a sane clime, if a principal couldn't follow the advice of his specialist, especially a legal one; that adviser will at least resign, to prove he isn't in support of the illegality perpetrated by the principal.

nameo:
Thank you , @ OP for the clear legal elucidation above.

I was also wondering where the President got his "ex parte" order from cos I know the CCT itself adjourned sitting to next week without granting any side order? So where and how was this order granted? Was it written outside the sitting hours of the court, and without the lawyers of both parties been aware of it? This is even a gravious matter on it own.

No wonder not a single lawyer, even those close to this Govt( except for Sagah to some extent) has supported this.

This is apart from the fact that CCT doesn't even have such powers to remove a serving justice.

This is becoming even deeper and troubling than I thought.

Deeper and troubling is the word. You can also add overzealousness

Had This administration engaged Femi Falana (SAN) in the office of the Justice Minister and Attorney General of the Federation; there is no way Buhari would have been misled or allowed to make this wrong legal calculation which has cast aspersions on the coming general elections

At the inception of the Buhari presidency, the news was agog that our own Femi Falana (SAN) had been nominated for the office of the Federal Minister of Justice and of course, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF)

Well meaning Nigerians were optimistic and happy, because of the standing of Falana. His reputation and his experience.
For most people, we concluded that with Falana acting as the chief legal adviser and prosecutor of the FRN, there will not be cases of human right infringement/violations.

All of this were dashed away as soon as Buhari inaugurated his cabinet as Falana was not picked.

Fast forward to today, we cannot easily sum up the many blunders and disservice Abubakar Malami (SAN) has made.

All the blunders and unconstitutional happenings under president Buhari can be attributed to Malami's incompetence. He adviced the President wrongly, or else he'd have resigned.

Lordbellish:
You and your dead sons voted for buhari ND the buhari released imprinsoned Boko haram foot soldiers and also paid huge Ransome(In USD to them )

he finally Took a whooping 1bilion USD from Treasury to buy weapons but the money was deverted to personal use and they went on and gave your sons outdated weapons to fight Boko haram who receieved millions of USD..


so mama Deal with it at the great beyound.....

Next time, be carefull what you wish for...

What goes around surely comes by... If u doubt me, ask Benue People they can tell u more..Or u ask GEJ(when he was doing strong head and removed the former CJN with out consulting the senate Now Buhari just did same to his kinsman)...

Gej did not remove a CJN, rather, it was president of the Court of Appeal, Ayo Salami.

But, what's happend to your sense of patriotism?
Whether GEJ or Buhari, aren't we entitled to be governed with constitutional provisions?

Babanews:
Time will tell if he is clean or not...For now he is the most senior in line. Someone has to be there.

What necessitated the unlawful removal of the substantial CJ and replacing him with someone whose cleanness is yet to be ascertained?

If not witch hunting, why accuse a highly placed man of an offence and remove him without due process only to have him replaced with another person who is not yet ascertained innocent of the said offence??

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria

Tetehjewels:
Cry me a waterfall saraki. Mr President has been handed the right to suspend the CJN by the CJN himself when he admitted in writing that he "forgot " to declare his assets which is against the law.

He thus cannot be a judge in his own case.

Blame the CJN and not Buhari.

Plus the constitution of Nigeria as you rightfully observed is silent regarding suspension but clear when it comes to removal. Thus it places no limitations on Mr President when it comes to suspending the CJN. It only does so when it comes to removal.

Case closed.

Case opened:

You may need a lesson on the principles of separation of powers.
Do not forget that separation of powers is what underlies democracy.

As we claim to be practicing Democracy, we must abide by the principles of separation of powers which is to the effect that the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary are the Three (3) Arms of of Government who acts as checks and balances one over another and democracy cannot be said to be in effect except where each of this 3 arms are operating independent of the other....

Note: There is a Head of the Legislature; Head of the Executive and Head of the Judiciary.
To remove a head of each arm requires recommendations and approval from the other arm(s).

EXCEPT YOU ARE WELL TAUGHT ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SEPARATION OF POWERS, YOU WILL BE RANTING MEANINGLESS WORDS HERE AND THERE.

The law is beautiful, because it looks at issues with broadmindedness, not with myopic lenses used by unlearned Nairalanders here.

cutesmilez:
This is not about PDP or APC!!!! This is about a bad precedence for our democracy!. Not everything is political...... Atlist even if you are an ardent supporter of a particular party, at list u should think for once! THINK!!!!

This is clearly anti Democracy. Wether PDP or APC or any party u belong to.... This isn't right in all ramification!!!!

I concur.

If denigration of our constitution by Buhari is right because Buhari is president today, them it will be right for next president of Nigeria after Buhari, to set aside the provision of the constitution and do whatever he wishes. And so it shall continue, if any president desires a thing, whether constitutional or not, he will proceed to have his way legally or illegally.

Ebullience:
Until Saturday, January 11, 2019, not many Nigerians would have heard of the name Anti-Corruption And Research-Based Data Initiative (ARDI).

It was on that day that the news broke of the petition filed by the civil rights group against the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN),Justice Walter Onnoghen, at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) alleging that he owns ” sundry accounts primarily funded through cash deposits made by himself up to as recently as 10th August 2016, which appear to have been run in a manner inconsistent with financial transparency and the code of conduct for public officials.”

It said Onnoghen did not declare the accounts as required by law.

That petition is now threatening to consume Onnoghen, who was sent on suspension yesterday by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The ARDI petition, dated January 7, 2019, was received two days later by the CCB, according to online publication, TheCable, which broke the news.

Things moved in quick succession with the Federal Government filing a six-count charge against him for alleged failure to declare some of his assets, including about $3million.

The $3million is said to be lodged in five accounts.

The domiciliary and Naira accounts in the Standard Chartered Bank are coded as USD account No. 870001062650; Euro account No. 93001062686; Pound Sterling A/CNo. 285001062679; e-Saver Savings (Naira) account No. 5001062693; and a Naira A/C No. 010001062667.

The charge sheet is dated January 10 and was filed on January 11.

A CCB investigator, Mr. James Akpala, said in an affidavit in support of the charges against Onnoghen, that the filing of the case stemmed from a petition against the CJN.

Akpala was silent on the name of the petitioners.

He merely said: “I know as a fact that the Head Office of the Bureau received a petition alleging that the CJN failed to declare his assets according to the law.”

ARDI describes itself as “a whistleblower and an Anti-Corruption Awareness disseminator, whose effort is to strengthen our democracy and ensure transparent, accountable and responsive governance devoid of corruption for our society.”

The civil society group said its petition was necessitated by “the imminence of the 2019 General Elections and the overwhelming roles of the Judicial Arm both before and after.”

It claimed that Onnoghen owns “sundry accounts primarily funded through cash deposits made by himself up to as recently as 10th August 2016, which appear to have been run in a manner inconsistent with financial transparency and the code of conduct for public officials.”

It alleged that Onnoghen made five cash deposits of $10,000 each on March 8, 2011 into Standard Chartered Bank Account 1062650; two separate cash deposits of $5000 each and four deposits of $10,000 each on June 7, 2011.

Five similar cash deposits of $10,000 followed on June 27, 2011, and another four deposits of $10,000 each the following day.

Onnoghen, according to the petition, failed to declare his assets immediately after taking office, contrary to section 15 (1) of Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act; and that he did not comply with the constitutional requirement for public servants to declare their assets every four years during their career.

It added that the CJN appeared “to have suppressed or otherwise concealed the existence of these multiple domiciliary accounts owned by him, as well as the substantial cash balances in them.”

It said the CJN’s financial transactions appeared suspicious and not justifiable by his lawful remuneration at all material times.

Detectives investigating the finances of the suspended CJN last weekend turned their attention to his salary account.

Sources said they may have unearthed evidence that the salary account laid untouched in the bank for 18 months at a stretch.

This Justice Tanko, how clean is he??

Can we see the papersmof his asset declaration?

Is justice Tanko operating a single account

The fact we all know is that all the justices in Nigeria have registered company(ies) which are registered and run by others on their behalf. It won't be easy to find a Justice without a business registered and run on their behalf.

Justice Onoghen has just been treated as a guilty person even while he ought to benefit from the rule of presumption of innocence.

I need to be convinced that justice Tanko has only his salary as his source of earning. Else I will conclude that once again, Onoghen is suffering the normal SOUTHERN DILEMA

ItsMeAboki:
How many votes did you give him in 2015 and how many will you give him now - apart from the incessant insults and hatred you reserve for him?

Is that how Democracy work?

Isn't Buhari the president of all Nigerians, irrespective of the votes?

You are biased. You're another nepotistic human being. Nigeria will remain backward if people like you have the say/way.

ItsMeAboki:
It seems whatever he does PMB can never win because of their hatred: if he kept quiet and failed to deliver, they will blast; now that he came clean about the pledge but still promised to do something about it, they are still blasting him - he simply.

Yet even without promising them and thing for their measly 5% votes; he had still been improving their infrastructure far more than when their own bloda GEJ had the opportunity and well above the entire PDP years - very vindictive ppl.

So you are satisfied with this parochial leadership of Buhari/APC as it relates to the people of southeastern Nigeria?

Buhari approved and is building rail line to Maradi-Niger Republic as a priority; while telling the Igbos to their face that the pledge APC made to them of "linking" them with a passing rail line was a mistake made ultra-viresly by an unauthorized minister.

You are comfortable with this as a whole, aren't you?

MrAJQ:
The sincere president

Yeah!

Very sincere here to the southeasters. They should better adjust their minds to the fact that no rail road is going to be connecting the region in this regime.

This Buhari is truly sincere. Even on campaign, he did not mince word, but told Ndigbo that a promise his government made in the first term hasn't not been fulfilled in this first term cannot be hopped on in second term....

Sure, a sincere president. But wickedly sincere, isn't it?

[quote author= post=75032876]You are 100% right Mr Taiye.
Some of the youths of this country have no shame.
Just look at them supporting criminals.
We pray we get to the way it is being done abroad very soon.[/quote]You and Taiye are right to an extent. Having said that, Don't you have problem with Selective fighting of Corruption

I don't have problem with the fight against corruption.

My problem includes:

Why have Buhari not investigated the previous chief Justices? Is it because they aren't Northerners/Muslims? Must this southerner/Christian C.J. be booted out this soonest? (of course, we all know the Trend under Buhari as his replacement will be a northerner/Muslim).

Why haven't Buhari probe his cabinet members whose corruption allegations are in the open?

Why must APC/Buhari achieve all illegal goals at all cost?

Why must all well meaning Nigerians be taking for a rough ride repeatedly

CanineOfJackal:
I'm having this argument with my friends here and I want to hear different opinions about it.

A lady friend visits you and spends the night and you guys have sex and before you sleep, she kneels down and prays and sometimes invite you to join in that prayer.
Remember after the prayers the duo of you might have another roundof sex before day breaks.

My question is this;



1. Is that Prayer wrong?

2. Will God answer such prayer or it's a mockery of prayer?

3. Since we are commuting sin, is it right to run from God or run to him through prayers?


Please lets discuss it with biblical verses to help because a lot of people are victims of such incident.

On Sunday morning?

Why didn't you choose another question on a day like this?

I could have made my own contributions to this topic, but not this Sunday morning

So MURIC has found the CJN guilty already?

Is this not a prejudicial statement
