In Nigeria the entire Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution covers immunity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this constitution but subject to subsection (2) of this section-
No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office;
A person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and
No process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued; Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of this period of office.
The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party.
This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to “period of office” is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office


At this point his immunity is cynical

Thats my point. The position he currently holds and his immunity from prosecution is giving him a false sense of safety.

Ganduje is living in a fools paradise. He is intoxicated with power at the moment so he probably does not realize his days are numbered.

Who the gods want to strike they first run mad. You were caught red handed on video stealing, instead of you to respect yourself and lay low. You still have the audacity to be gallavanting around making noise all over the place and stepping on toes left right and center.

gnykelly:
all his outing speech is all about struggle for democracy. there is no snippet of him anywhere explaining how economy can work or how to move from point A to B

Wow, this really means you don't know the dude at all. I don't know why people don't know who sowore is.
Anyway, that guy's head is full of solutions that is unique and makes a lot of sense.
Here is one of his old videos it does not even scratch the surface of his plans.

gnykelly:
sowore may have good intentions, but seems to lack the intellects of how to handle Nigeria problem

What makes you say that?

uboma:
With your Toyota Camry 2001 model, you were no match with the Toyota Prado Jeep.

While on the road, it is safety first for me.

Unless you know what trims both vehicles are. You are very wrong.

If his camry was the v6 trim and the prado was the 2.7Litre 4 cylinder(which is what most nigerians own). The pencil light will dust that prado oga.

In Osho baba voice: They should go and die...

Are you happy about this news? If yes, come forward let's take selfish...

Their sickness or deaths will not solve nigeria's problem. It will only make way for other looters.

Only you and i can solve our problem. Support people like sowore who have put themselves at the fore front of the struggle.

Openbusiness3:
kikikiki, no vex my Oga. 9 is my lucky number. i will provide it when this post reach page 9. Meantime, let the people continue catching fun

Ok na. We dey wait

Openbusiness3:
Wrong! Look well and try again. Biscuits are different, clock is different. Look very well

Lolz. Even you that is claiming to know the solution does not even know. Oga answer is 50. If you insist its not then provide the answer. Its been 2 days afterall.

Openbusiness3:
I'm still "waiting" for the genius that will get the correct answer oh......where are you please?(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

The answer is 50. Its a very easy problem. Even a dunce can get it right. This is far from being a test for genus

Biscuit = 10
Two banana fingers = 2 therefore 1 banana finger = 1
Clock = 3

Fireson:
Please I really don't know how to go about this , any idea?

To rat is really in your blood

ninocia18:
Since he was done as 9th Speaker house of Representatives that year and after the probe of 10billion naira that lasted for just one week, no one has heard anything about him ever since. Always in white brocade and his sharp english . Abeg, how far with him and what has he been up to?

He is enjoying his loot in peace. He is a wise man and not greedy.

Explorers:
Greed killed those guys.

They came for $50m, met over $500M and they left with $250M which became too heavy for their chopper.


So painful.

Very sad indeed. A good movie.

Black market fuel made from stolen oil in rudimentary “bush” refineries hidden deep in the creeks and swamps of the Niger delta is less polluting than the highly toxic diesel and petrol that Europe exports to Nigeria, new laboratory analysis has found.

Shell, Exxon, Chevron and other major oil companies extract and export up to 2m barrels a day of high quality, low sulphur “Bonny Light” crude from the Niger delta. But very little of this oil is refined in the country because its four state-owned refineries are dysfunctional or have closed.


Instead, international dealers export to Nigeria around 900,000 tonnes a year of low-grade, “dirty” fuel, made in Dutch, Belgian and other European refineries, and hundreds of small-scale artisanal refineries produce large quantities of illegal fuel from oil stolen from the network of oil pipelines that criss-cross the Niger delta.

The net result, says international resource watchdog group Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN) in a new report, is that Nigeria has some of the worst air pollution in the world, with dense clouds of choking soot hanging over gridlocked cities leading to a rise in serious health conditions as well as damaged vehicles.

The extreme toxicity of the “official” fuel exported from Europe surprised researchers who took samples of diesel sold in government-licensed filling stations in Port Harcourt and Lagos. They found that on average the fuel exceeded EU pollution limits by as much as 204 times, and by 43 times the level for gasoline.


Laboratory analysis also showed that the black market fuel was highly polluting but of a higher quality than the imported diesel and gasoline. The average “unofficial” diesel tested exceeded the level of EU sulphur standards 152 times, and 40 times the level for gasoline.

“Our research suggests that Nigeria is having dirty fuel dumped on it that cannot be sold to other countries with higher and better implemented standards. The situation is so bad that the average diesels sampled are of an even lower quality that that produced by artisanal refining camps in the creeks of the Niger delta,” said Florence Kayemba, SDN programme manager.

With more than 11m, mostly old, cars imported from Europe and Japan on the roads, and hundreds of thousands of inefficient generators used by households and businesses for electricity, Nigeria ranks fourth in the world for deaths caused by air pollution. It has been estimated that 114,000 people die prematurely from air pollution each year.

The air quality in cities like Port Harcourt, Aba, Onitsha and Kaduna has reached crisis levels of pollution in recent years, and there is mounting evidence of rising asthma, lung, heart and respiratory diseases.

More than half of developing countries, mainly in Africa and Latin America, still use high-sulphur fuels which have long been illegal to burn in western countries. In Nigeria the practice is encouraged by an opaque fuel subsidy system that keeps prices relatively low at the pumps, but is widely thought to fuel corruption. Refineries in Europe are allowed to make the fuel if countries agree to accept it.

The SDN report, part-funded by the UK Foreign Office’s anti-corruption conflict, stability and security fund, calculates that around half the air pollution in Port Harcourt, a city of more than 3 million people, comes from the burning of official and unofficial fuel. The rest comes from nearby gas flaring, other industries, and the burning of rubbish.

'This place used to be green': the brutal impact of oil in the Niger Delta
Levels of particulate matter in Port Harcourt and Lagos, says SDN, are 20% worse than Delhi in India, the most polluted capital city in the world, where emergency levels of photochemical smogs are common. In 2016, the River Niger port city of Onitsha was said by the World Health Organization to be the world’s most polluted city, the concentration of PM10s – soot particles – was recorded at 594 micrograms per cubic metre; compared with the WHO safe limit of 66.

“The Niger delta already suffers environmental, health and livelihood impacts from decades of oil spill pollution, gas flaring and artisanal refining. This research indicates that it not only experiences the repercussions of producing crude oil, but also in the consumption of dirty official and unofficial fuels,” said the report.

According to industry sources which track legal and illegal oil cargo movements – who asked to remain anonymous – around 80% of Nigeria’s petroleum products come from the Netherlands and Belgium. The two countries have some of Europe’s largest refineries.

“This is even more concerning at a time when Nigeria is facing an outbreak of coronavirus. High levels of pollution and pre-existing respiratory and other health conditions may increase the risk that Covid-19 poses to the health of the population,” said Matthew Halstead of Noctis, which conducted the laboratory research.

The SDN report substantiates allegations made in a 2016 Public Eye investigation and a Dutch government report in 2018, that European refineries and commodity brokers were blending crude oil with benzene and other carcinogenic chemicals to create fuels hundreds of times over European pollution limits for the weakly-regulated African market. This was said to be causing significant particulate pollution, damage to vehicles, and adverse health impacts for local populations.

Nigeria, along with Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Benin promised in 2017 to stop the imports of “Africa quality” oil products as part of a UN environment programme initiative. But while Ghana has acted, reducing sulphur from 3,000 to 50 parts per million, Nigeria has argued that it needs more time to adapt.

However, the recent collapse in oil prices because of Covid-19 means that imported fuel no longer needs to be subsidised and should no longer be a barrier to Nigeria adopting higher standards.

Illegal artisanal refineries are said by SDN to be growing fast in number and scale, now producing 5-20% of all the gasoline and diesel consumed in Nigeria from the estimated 175,000 barrels of crude oil stolen each year.

The bush refineries are highly dangerous and frequently explode, adding to air, water and soil pollution in the mangrove swamps. But they are an important source of income for communities.

According to SDG, if Nigeria insisted on diesel imports that complied to the country’s intended fuel sulphur standards, particulate emissions could be reduced by 50%, greatly improving pollution and reducing health costs. It recommends that Nigeria enforces its proposed sulphur standards as soon as possible and considers engaging with artisanal oil refiners in future.

Some Terrible Things Experienced While Converting My Z9 V6 To Stick-Shift

Ikenna351, Lion King - Monk.

Please kindly edit the video. What you said about Nigerians is neither good for you nor anybody.
It casts you in bad light, does not help anyone nor solve anything. And will directly or indirectly affect you since you too are Nigerian.

Heartlessbanker:
Your suggestions/advice are welcome

I am in a good position to give an answer since i did not know how to cook during my university days.

What i can tell you is this; just be ready to spend loads of money or starve constantly, period. But it all depends on your personality, what i mean is if for instance you are a very social, outgoing extrovert that easily make friends and have lots of them, it'll reduce the burden a bit since you'll most times be getting free food. But unless your friends know you are not poor just that you can't cook you might lose some self respect.

But whether you have money or not, its a stressful experience sometimes because its not everytime you'll feel like leaving your house to go find food. Sundays are the worst because you'll hardly see any restaurant open on time.

I was lucky sha aa because during my time, i was hardly ever broke and my circle of friends weren't either. So here are a few tips from someone with experience.

1) Try to be friends with 2 restaurant sales person. Be loyal and always try to eat at those places anytime you can, try not to owe. You'll be able to eat on credit from time to time or even free.

2) you no sabi cook no mean say you no fit cook indomie. Or boil yam(it goes well with palm oil. Ahhh sweet memory those days .)
Learning how to make stew is very easy. Also always stock up on provisions.

3) Try and have pots and a cooker just in case a friend decides to cook for you.

4) make good friends, they must not be necessarily females but females will feed you fat.

Thats all i can remember off the top of my head.
Finally get off your ass and go learn how to cook, it is a survival skill. I learnt that the hard way when i was posted to the middle of nowhere for my NYSC, hunger almost killed me not because of money but there was simply no restaurants around, and even if there were i could never eat their meals.

I have few questions to ask, if you can contact me privately no charges. I experienced it at one of the properties I am managing.

You just want to rip him off. Share whatever you wanna share here in public so it can be scrutinized and proven that you know your onions. Then the op will be the one running after you.

Peacecoy19:
Hey man you know nothing about international politiking,Nigeria a nomination long ago.but reading the world picture we quickly changed our nomination.permutations and consultations were made so with NOI Nigeria's chances are better now.This is world stage not just Africa thing.After we will settle AU grivances.

We are saying the same thing.
This goverment reeks of incompetence. Reason why they can't even consult effectively before deciding on a nomination. I'm suprised they did not nominate a dead person this time. Smh

Congratulations! You have just taken the first step to contacting HIV. Keep it up and it won't be long before you hit the jackpot.

I look forward to seeing your thread on nairaland in the future with pictures of your scrotal sack with a huge boil on it or some other weird thing happening to your reproductive organ seeking for help. Continue listening to people like weed smoker above. i'm sure they'll also have some advice for you after you must have contacted something.

did u read the article at all?

You mean you read the article? Then you must either be irredeemably stupid or lack comprehension

I'm aware of the wto autonomy from au affairs. But fact remains that this pathetic government couldn't even follow simple rules to correctly nominate a candidate. You mo*ron.

Mumu government. Ordinary nominate a candidate No, they'll take their yama yama way of doing things in the zoo to the world stage. Buhari has set a new standard of impunity for Nigeria.

BeautifulWoman:
I have had this thoughts bother me for some pretty years. Though it may not be the only part of a relationship, sexual chemistry and overall satisfaction can act as a pretty big factor when it comes to your happiness level.

Even the loviest of couples could hit a rut if things start to feel a little repetitive in the bedroom.

Sure, there are ways to spice up your sex life, but what if you exhaust your options? What if sex starts to feel mundane and routine instead of fiery and passionate?

That's when you start to think about marriage: the bond between two people who say that they will love one another 'til the bitter end and will only take the train to pound town with each other.

While polyamorous or Player lifestyles operate differently, on average, the sex life of a married couple stays between only those two. With a lifelong relationship comes a lifetime of sex with the same person.

The question is, would a man be able to do that? Or would he get too bored?

Marriage or life is not all about sex. Couples can be perfectly happy without sex. How do you think couples that have been together for decades do it? You think they keep inventing new sex styles or what?
Please take your mind off sex and put your mind to building a life with your partner.

Na wa ooo. What do you mean by nobody will buy that car. Did you inspect the car? What is your basis for quickly making such a condescending statement on someone's displayed goods. Or was the statement inspired by your innermost dark desire.
The economy is not stopping the containers upon containers of cars that arrive daily at the ports that are in far worse condition than that car.

This people liking my post una get wahala ooo. I quoted somebody out of context and una still dey like the post

You want him to be diplomatic about what he opines?

Lol, keep dreaming, no buyer will buy this car, only to see this fault and be diplomatic about it especially in this bearish economy period.

Googlemechanic:
There are some vehicles you should not advertise for sale.

This vehicle is definitely riddled with rust.

A combination of this and high mileage is a bad combination.

Lolz . Las las una go choke for amdman matter. Continue ooo na heart attack you go soon get.

Anyway you should know that the car would be inspected and every detail disclosed to the buyer before it'll be paid for. So thank you mr rust detector for detecting that the car is condemned by viewing only 2 pics of the car.

Please remember to use the same speed and energy to also commend the cars that are in excellent condition which are constantly advertised here. And are obviously ACCIDENT FREE
