"...I maintain that Christian ministers cannot be millionaires. The phrase “millionaire pastor” is an oxymoron..." In other words, the god this guy believes in ALWAYS consigns, whosoever is unfortunate to work for him, to poverty. Another unfortunate thing is that since he never uses Scriptures to confirm his thoughts(All were conjectures), the deceived self-deluded and mind-washed have fallen miserably for this 'church' reformer. |
FRSC ‘can no longer’ fine motorists, court rules TODAY AT 9:44 AM Court stops FRSC officials from punishing motorists who commit traffic offence. [Apex News] Court stops FRSC officials from punishing motorists who commit traffic offence. [Apex News] The court says FRSC could not turn itself into a court of law by punishing motorists. A federal high court in Lagos has declared void powers of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to impose fines on motorists for traffic offences. John Tsoho, a judge, held that the commission could not turn itself into a court of law by punishing those who commit traffic offences. Tope Alabi, a lawyer, had approached the court to declare that only a court of competent jurisdiction could pronounce a person guilty under section 10 (4) and 28 (2) of the FRSC Act 2007. Other defendant in the suit was the attorney-general of the federation. The judge also awarded N1million damages in favour of the plaintiff because officials of the FRSC had confiscated his vehicle and driver’s licence. Tosho said while FRSC was statutorily empowered to arrest and fine traffic offenders, a closer look at the definition of the word “fine” meant a pecuniary criminal punishment or civil penalty payable to the public treasury. “In the instant case, however, the involvement of the element of arrest takes the imposition of fine by the FRSC to the realm of criminal punishment,” he said. “From these definitions, it is obvious that the act of sentencing is a judicial action or exercise, and imposition of fine connotes conviction for an alleged offence. “It is, thus, very clear that the FRSC, not being a court of law, cannot impose fine, especially as it has no powers to conduct trial. “Hence, the exercise of the statutory powers given to the defendant under the Act as pertain to imposition of fine is clearly a usurpation of judicial powers exclusively vested in the courts. “In the circumstances, I endorse the plaintiff’s submission that by virtue of section 1(3) of the constitution, the power to impose fines conferred on FRSC by the enabling act is null and void to the extent of its inconsistency with the constitution.” Tsoho held that the FRSC resorted to “legislative absurdity” when it imposed a fine of 3,000 on the plaintiff, rather than the N2,000 statutorily prescribed. “FRSC’s function should not go beyond issuance of mere notices of offence,” he ruled. “It is a cardinal principle of natural justice that no person can be condemned without being heard. “It is in observance of this that a person alleged to have committed an offence has to respond to such allegations before a court of law during trial.” According to the judge, the plaintiff was issued a notice of offence Sheet on April 4, 2013, but FRSC did not take him to court for five months before the plaintiff filed his suit on September 9, 2013. “The vital question to ask is how long would it take the FRSC to reasonably commence prosecution of a traffic offence?” he asked. “The plaintiff was not under obligation to wait indefinitely for redress due to FRSC’s inaction or laxity. “I hold the view that the confiscation of the vehicle was unnecessary in the first place, though the FRSC spiritedly sought to justify it.” The judge then granted11 of the 14 reliefs sought by the plaintiff, awarding N1million in his favour instead of the N10 million prayed for. https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/frsc-can-no-longer-fine-motorists-court-rules/yjnlrdn.amp

Benin Republic plans to flood Nigeria with tonnes of foreign rice – FGN By AgroNigeria -November 27, 2019 Following the border closure policy which has deteriorated ties between Nigeria and Benin Republic, the Federal Government of Nigeria has accused its African counterpart of planning to smuggle a substantial amount of imported rice into the country. Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed raised the alarm yesterday in a press conference alongside the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama; Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola; Minister of State for Finance, Budget and National Planning, Clement Agba; National Security Adviser (NSA), Maj. Gen. Bangida Monguno (rtd) and the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Muhammed Babandede, when they visited the border outpost in Seme. According to the Minister, the Federal Government had uncovered details that there were ships berthing in Benin waters and loaded with 105,000 metric tonnes of foreign rice, with the intention to smuggle the commodity into Nigeria for the Yuletide period. He listed the loaded ships and their contents as MV Africana Jacana, 40,000mt; MV Zilos, 20,000 mt and MV Sam Jarguar 45,000 mt. Revealing that the Republic of Benin had concluded an arrangement with Japan to import rice valued at $30 million, Lai Mohammed said that it was obvious that the destination of the imported rice was Nigeria, owing to the fact that shipment was beyond what could be consumed by the Benin population of less than 25 million people. The Minister also accused Benin and Niger of circumventing the ECOWAS protocol on transit, which requires that when a transit container berths at a seaport, the receiving country is mandated to escort the same without tampering with the seal to the border of the destination country. “Unfortunately, experience has shown that our neighbors do not comply with this protocol. Rather, they break the seals of containers at their ports and trans-load goods meant for Nigeria,” he said. Lai Mohammed said that the closure of the borders was also to curb the entry of kidnappers and terrorists who smuggle arms and illicit drugs into the country. In his remarks, 95% of the illicit drugs and weapons being used to perpetrate terrorism and kidnapping in Nigeria arrived through porous borders, saying that the ongoing Operations Swift Exercise and border closure effected by the government had led to arrests and seizure of goods worth N3.5billion. The Minister further stated that since the partial closure, the acts had drastically reduced. “The partial closure had also curbed the smuggling of foreign rice into the country, in addition to other prohibited items. Our series of interactions and engagements with Rice Miller Association of Nigeria since the commencement of this exercise has shown that the border closure has enhanced more production and milling of Nigerian Rice.” He said. https://agronigeria.ng/2019/11/27/benin-republic-plans-to-flood-nigeria-with-tonnes-of-foreign-rice-fgn/ |
[quote author=Monaco2 post=84455833][/quote]Why are you fixated on THE SOURCE? For example, if you were told to get some info on the Old Eastern Nigeria, you and I know that, that info can only be got from the archive of the Ministry of Information, Enugu state. If Enugu state is written on the document, does it mean that the Present Enugu State was in existent as a state then? No! The same way that the pre-Colonial info is only available under the present ministry of information of the federal Republic of Nigeria and never from Ghana! |

ThompsonJoo: ...the Benin Republic university wrote to the scheme when its officials discovered her on the social media, posting her photographs in the NYSC uniform in the Zamfara camp. The powers in her father's house command so much influence on her. So much that she has to go about posing for pictures on a platform(Facebook) that she foolishly thought was a preserve of her kinsmen only. |
