HERE IS THE ANALYSIS:
Northern Nigeria has 19 states and 19 governors. Out of these, 10 governors are Fulanis, while the remaining 9 governors represent over 300 other ethnic groups in the region.
Now, consider this: The Hausa ethnic group, with a population of over 66 million according to World Atlas—that’s over 55% of the entire Northern population—has no single governor.
All their states are ruled by Fulanis, who have a population of just 13 million, barely 11% of the Northern population.
Nigeria is composed of three major ethnic groups: Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo with Hausas having the largest population.
Yoruba have 6 governors,
Igbo have 5 governors,
But Hausas have not even one—because the Fulanis have politically and strategically enclaved them.
With this arrangement, why won't the Fulani bandits k!ll, maim and rape Hausa and other tribes peacefully and wantonly with utmost impunity?
The Hausas accepted the Fulanis peacefully, embracing them due to shared religious beliefs. But eventually, their traditional rulers were eliminated, and a Fulani oligarchy was installed.
Today, the political leadership of the Hausas is no longer theirs. Are simply reduced to beggars and gate keepers. They are robbed of even education.
Hausas have become tools in the hands of Fulanis during elections. They are mere shadows in their own land, despite their numbers.
Currently they are going through unimaginable hardship, and those of us who understand the Hausa language know the kind of lamentations that are voicing daily.
It's so funny that even Kanuri people are wiser than them. They never allow Fulanis to conquer Borno and Yobe State. That's why they can still raise their head up in their own land.
This conquest is not coincidence—it is an agenda. They have already succeeded in Kwara and Nasarawa States—both in the Middle Belt—and are tactically spreading their tentacles to other States in our religion and extending down to the south.
This agenda has been in motion for over 200 years.
Just recently, it was funny that Benue traditional leaders, instead of acting decisively, were holding peace meetings with the same people everyone knows will never honor such peace.
You cannot negotiate peace with someone who is intentional about hurting you. You cannot negotiate with terrorists.
Once they settle in your community, their next move is to seize your traditional and political leadership, and eventually, they will seek to erase your identity and history.
I was stunned when I saw a Fulani man contesting for the House of Representatives for Akwanga/Nasarawa Eggon/Wamba Federal Constituency. Imagine that. When I raised concerns, an Eggon friend replied, “His mother is Eggon.”
What a level of blindness! That is exactly how the agenda works—they come to graze, settle, infiltrate, blend, and then rob you of your land and leadership.
Benue State must wake up—before it’s too late.
If you are in doubt about my research do it yourself and the outcome e go shock you. Alexander ABBA ✍️ ✍️ ✍️ ✍️ Copied
How many times will I correct you people that The Governor of Kwara State is YORUBA. Una go still dey drive propaganda say na Fulani. Even Abdulahi Sule of Nasarawa is not Fulani. If you got that one wrongly because I know that for sure, how can I trust that you are correct on the rest. At least, do some reliable finding on each of them before you post. Don't just ASSUME.
I am still strongly of the view that we need a Brand New Constitution that the people themselves can own, rather than the continuous amendments of the military decree (constitution) just to give it better look overtime.
That is the problem we have in this nation; we do not want to flush out these bandits/terrorists because of the fear of collateral damage and that is so unfortunate. The security of the larger populace is more important that just a few people. Let us bomb sambisa and other forest where these terrorists are hiding. If any innocent people die in the process it is for the great cause. If we start bombing, two things will happen 1. Terrorists will start running away from Nigeria because there is nowhere to hide. 2. People who have been harbouring these criminals and the society that have been lackluster about the whole thing will start rethinking and finding every means to ensure that terrorists do not live among them because they know they will pay an heavy price for it if the condone them.
THE ISRAELI APPROACH TO TERRORISM IS THE BETTER APPROACH.
Let's stop all the surface surgery and take the bold step of bombing every forests and society where they hide and you will see terrorism disappear. Let's stop all these hullabaloo of rubbish.
But the BIG question is: DOES OUR PRESIDENT HAVE THE BALL?
fergie001: They have lost the plot. They went to Omotosho to say PDP didn't give 21 days notice of meeting. Now the announced theirs 24 hours before.
Will they submit it to INEC? I also understand they are going to the Federal High Court today to get an exparte to compel INEC to affirm recognition of their meeting.
They intend to expel Makinde, Bala Mohammed, Bode George, Wabara and those they feel are arrowheads for them and all that. It's all too late, my dearies.
They didn't see the expulsion coming, I didn't either
You are wrong and do not know the difference between NEC/BoT meeting and National Convention. That is a meeting and INEC need NOT be notified. When the date for the National Convention is scheduled, INEC will be duly notified. Calm Down. You dey form Senior Advocate for nairaland with a biased mind.
The BIG question is: What will happen to those who accused him wrongly and wasted three full years of his life and his booming career? Will the go scot-free? Is that fair.
I still advocate that false accusers should be sentence to equal jail time as will be pass on the accused of found guilty of the assault.
ALL MEN MUST BE UNITED TO FIGHT FOR THIS. THE FEMALE FOLKSCAN'T JUST KEEP GAMBLING WITH OUR LIVE AND GO SCOT-FREE.
The case is a long thing and a lot of people queueing on the long queue. It will not see the light if the day. It will only remain in the realm of speculations and ear says. Almost all the powerful people are indicted in the file. Expecting them to release it is a joke taken too far
Kreesxxx: I wish states have such power, Benue would have requested to be the Seventh State of South South.
Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi and even Nasarawa have nothing in common with the Core North. They should have been named "Central Nigeria" instead of "North Central" that gave them an affinity more with the north than the south.
The Southern region is very peaceful. It should be a country on its own or better still countries of their own maintaining peaceful neighborhoods. The middle belt needs to break themselves from from the Core North for their own good.
One of the best off cycle elections in recent history. The new INEC has done well. Make nobody go tribunal, na just waste of money. Obi's defeat in his polling unit by the supposed hated party's candidate (APC) is the second best news that came out of this election.
TODAY’S EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN MAZI NNAMDI KANU & JUSTICE JAMES OMOTOSHO AT ABUJA FEDERAL HIGH COURT
Issued by: Onyedikachi Ifedi, Esq. (reporting from a tense courtroom)
1. Overview of Today’s Shocking Court Developments The electrifying proceedings in the case of Federal Republic of Nigeria v Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before Justice James Omotosho took a disturbing turn today, raising serious public concern over the integrity of the judicial process. Multiple actions and pronouncements made by the presiding judge have been widely described as unprecedented, hostile to fair hearing, and blatantly contrary to constitutional standards of criminal trial.
2. Judge Unable to State the Law Under Which Kanu Is Being Tried In open court today, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu demanded repeatedly that Justice Omotosho identify the specific written law under which he is being tried.
Despite multiple direct requests, Justice Omotosho could not cite any written law creating the alleged offence. Instead of addressing this foundational constitutional requirement, the judge evaded the question.
For the avoidance of doubt, Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) provides:
“A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offence unless that offence is defined and the penalty therefor is prescribed in a written law.”
Kanu made it clear to the court that no conviction can stand without a valid written law, and that his faith is on Section 36(12) of the Constitution, not on the judge’s personal views.
3. Judge Failed to Acknowledge the Use of a Repealed Law Kanu moved a formal motion to expunge his plea from the court record on the grounds that the charge was founded on a repealed law.
Rather than taking judicial notice—something every judge is bound to do under the Evidence Act—Justice Omotosho sidestepped the issue. The court refused to acknowledge that no one can be tried under a repealed statute, a position anchored in Nigerian and international law.
4. Omotosho Blocks Final Written Addresses – A Disturbing First in Nigerian Criminal Trial History In a move that has stunned legal observers nationwide, Justice Omotosho announced that he does not want any final written addresses from either party.
This is widely viewed as an aberration and a dangerous departure from established criminal procedure. Final written addresses are:
A core component of fair trial A mandatory stage before judgment The primary avenue for defendants to challenge evidence and raise points of law No credible record exists of a trial judge in Nigeria deliberately blocking final addresses in a criminal case. Legal commentators have described this as a judicial ambush.
5. Kanu’s Final Word to the Judge Today In response to the judge’s position, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu told the court that he does not care what Justice Omotosho says, because the Constitution is supreme:
He stated clearly that Section 36(12) CFRN forbids any conviction without a valid written law, and that no court can override the Constitution.
6. Public Concerns and Implications Today’s proceedings raise grave questions:
Why is a judge avoiding reference to the law he claims to be applying? Why refuse written addresses unless the goal is to avoid legal scrutiny of a predetermined outcome? Why is a court entertaining charges tied to a repealed law? These developments undermine public trust in the judiciary, and today’s events have intensified public, legal, and international concern over the fairness of this trial.
Conclusion
What transpired in court today is not a normal judicial process. The actions and statements of Justice James Omotosho reflect a troubling pattern of procedural irregularities, disregard for constitutional safeguards, and hostility to fair hearing.
This briefing is being issued in the public interest to ensure transparency and to document the concerning conduct observed in today’s proceedings.
More details later...
You are a liar. A stack one at that. Which judge will block a defendant final written address?
SHOW US VIDEO PROOF OF THE JUDGE BLOCKING KANU'S FINAL ADDRESS...LIARS AND PROPAGANDISTS EVERYWHERE.
truthera: Justice Omotosho has continued the illegal unjust trial of Nnamdi Kanu, forcing a deadline that expires today (5th November) for Kanu to open his defense even when it is clear that he has no case in court. The Nigerian government keeps saying it has a case against Nnamdi Kanu, but when you strip away the politics and look strictly at the law, you can see that the government has no case.
Everything about the case from how he was kidnapped from Kenya to the phantom laws used to charge him violates the Nigerian constitution and international laws that Nigeria is bound to uphold. This case against Nnamdi Kanu can only stand if it rests on a lawful foundation. Since such foundation is broken, it is obvious that what going on in Justice Omotosho's court is not a lawful prosecution, it is an illegal persecution, a judicial betrayal.
There is no law that supersedes the constitution, section 1 (3) of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution states and I quote
"If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void."
This means that once the government breaks constititional law, everything that follows becomes illegal. You can’t dispense justice on illegality.
Nnamdi Kanu’s kidnapping from Kenya in 2021, done without any extradition order, broke Nigerian and Kenyan law. The Court of Appeal in 2022 and the Kenyan High Court in 2025 both ruled that the extraordinary rendition was illegal. By disregarding due process, Nigeria's government destroyed the court’s power to try Kanu. There is no law or court order that can upturn it.
- Extraordinary Rendition
The UN working group on arbitrary detention (2022) and the Kenyan courts have already ruled that Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest and transfer to Nigeria was illegal. Nigeria has signed treaties like the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which forbid this kind of illegalities and because these treaties are part of Nigerian law, ignoring it also means breaking the constitution. A trial that begins with a crime by the state itself cannot be legitimate.
- Right To Fair Hearing
Section 36 of Nigeria's constitution protects the right to fair hearing, presumption of innocence, and trial only under valid law. These rights cannot be taken away not even in wartime or national emergency. So when someone is dragged before a court after being kidnapped, denied proper access to lawyers, and charged under outdated laws, the trial is automatically void.
- None Existing Laws
Most of the charges filed by the government come from the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act 2013 which was repealed in 2022 and replaced with the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. The new Act changed the definitions of some of these offences and penalties. You can’t prosecute someone today under a law that no longer exists that’s retroactive and unconstitutional. Even if the government claims there is a “saving clause,” it can’t override the Constitution or revive a dead statute. If a law seizes to exist, the charges relying on it are dead with it.
- Court of Appeal Ruling
On 13 October 2022, the Court of Appeal in Abuja discharged Kanu and said the government had lost jurisdiction because of the illegal rendition. Under Section 36 (9) of the constitution states and I quote.
"No person who shows that he has been tried by any court of competent jurisdiction or tribunal for a criminal offence and either convicted or acquitted shall again be tried for that offence or for a criminal offence having the same ingredients as that offence save upon the order of a superior court."
The law is clearly against double jeopardy, once a person is discharged, he can’t be retried for the same matter. The Supreme Court’s 2023 decision sending the case back for trial ignored this law and the principle of finality. Simply put, once a higher court frees you, another court can’t restart the same case.
- Final Words
If Justice Omotosho has any regard for the law, then Kanu's trial should end today (5th November) with a verdict issued by Justice Omotosho declaring his immediate release/acquittal. Nigeria will once again break it's own laws if Nnamdi Knau is not released, if Justice Omotosho fails to uphold the constitution, the Nigerian judiciary will once again proof to the whole world that Nigeria is a shamelessly lawless country, breaking It's obligatory internatonal commitments and treaties to protect human rights, to guarantee fair trials and to forestall against arbitrary detentions.
Justice Omotosho's illegal unjust trial and sentencing of Nnamdi Kanu will be the final nail that will destroy what is left of Nigeria's judicial credibility forever.
You don't know the law. Your submission on the judgement of the supreme Court shows that. How will you opine that the judgment of the Appeal court is final against the supreme court. So according to you, if the Appeal court says that someone is innocent and then the supreme Court says that someone is guilty, according to you now, the Appeal judgment is valid and that of the supreme judgment is invalid. So, according to you, the Appeal is the final court and the supreme Court is a lower court.
obembet: I know many of us here wrote the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) many years ago.
Despite all the family responsibilities and life’s distractions now, I believe I can still sit for Mathematics and pass without any revision even though I wrote my WAEC back in 2000 at Ogedengbe commercial high school ilesha.
So, over to you Which WAEC subject do you think you can still write today and pass successfully without revising?
helinues: I have been trying to crack my head on what could have inspired those who are planning the coup and the only thought is about ongoing saboteur investigation within our security operatives. Both Service and retired officers have been milking from the insecurity
Probably the investigation was leaked and the culprits got to know about their end, hence planning a coup
Arms dealing in Nigeria is mostly South South business men work, so linking the coup back to Bayelsa state is not surprising
Sorry to correct your use of grammar. It is "wrack my head around" not "crack my head on." Thanks.
marlow1962: If na that one bro forget it. Once a Nigerian girl married, her baddie go away even in her home. They only dress sexy for another man outside their home, while their husband can go to hell.
That ought not be now. And that is why a lot of them get it wrong and complain when their husbands start chasing after small fashionable girls. Marriage should not make a person (male or female) lose their dress sense if at all they have one in the first place. Or do people stop eating their favorite food when they get married, so if favorite food does not change, should dress sense change?
Each time I ask my hubby, “Are you hungry?” His answer is always a confident “No.” 😅
So I went ahead and served just myself… only for him to take my spoon, and start eating the same food he said he didn’t want! 😂
In the early days of our marriage, I used to frown at this — but not anymore. I’ve learned to always take an extra spoon along, whether he plans to eat or not. Because, well, I know how this story ends! ❤️
Even Baby Light joined in the fun — she loved the food so much she couldn’t stop rubbing her head and doing her little happy dance while eating. Our daughter is such a drama queen! 😄
Stop wearing wrapper. Dress sexy even in your own house regularly. Your child has grown so you can give the excuse of nursing mothers and even at that nursing a child should not influence us negatively. Dressing like that makes you look old to your husband. Or were you wearing wrapper when he met you? This is not an insult please; it is a wake up call to you and others of like manner. No Be Juju Be Dat?
DarkkManB: lol... So if a medical doctor got c6 in English language, a miscommunication cannot happen? But if he got D7 or E8 there will be a miscommunication? The same English he used to answer questions on other subjects he passed? Are we going to tell ourselves the truth?
Point one: English language is basically divided into three categories of understanding; speaking, reading and writing. A medical doctor who is able to speak good English may not be able to put it in writing correctly, even some native speakers cannot write the language just like in Yoruba and other languages where some native speakers cannot even write down their language. English examination majorly assess this writing skill which is also Key for medical doctors.
Point 2: Aside from English language itself in O'level examination, other subjects are not critical with grammatical accuracy, they only mark Points and correctness to questions asked. That a prospective medical doctor got A1s in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics etc does not mean that if it has to be critiqued by an English expert it will maintain such grade.
Bottom line: English language is Compulsory BECAUSE it is the general language of communication in an heterogenous society like ours. The same cannot be said of Mathematics. Thanks
DarkkManB: yes I agree. But do you agree that as a science student, passing English should not be mandatory for my admission? If I get D7 or E8, that should be enough
English in this case is core even for science because it is the language of communication. All the course you will do in science are written in English and understanding them his Key if you need to excel in ur chosen field which made the language itself has an edge A miscommunication in semantics or writing from a doctor may spell doom for a patient. So, since English is a language of communication across all fields, it is core. So, English being mandatory is still reasonable.
DarkkManB: read my post very well. I'm still saying it that you don't need to see the four walls of the classroom before you can speak English, so it should not be a compulsory subject for the science students. Do you agree with me?
Maybe if we are discussing this in the UK or US, maybe. But in Nigeria, you need the four walls of the class to speak good English. That is a FACT.
DarkkManB: first of all, I didn't say that art students must pass mathematics, I only said that the minister has not said anything different from the earlier information. That said, I agree that mathematics should not be compulsory but English language as well should not be compulsory for science students, imagine someone couldn't get admission to study medicine just because he got D7 in English language despite passing all other subjects and jamb as well. English language is just a language that can be understood by someone who has never seen the four walls of the classroom, he only needs to be in an English-speaking environment. Even a ten year old kid who lives his life in America or England and didn't go to school will speak English language very well. What do you think about that?
You are comparing English with Mathematics? English is a language of general communication among Nigerians and that's why it is important for ALL. That cannot be said of Mathematics. You talked about Medicine? A Yoruba Medical doctor posted to Hausa speaking environment needs English language as a common ground. English is important in Nigeria because of our multiplicity of languages but that cannot be said of Mathematics.
