Maryiah:
Anything not morally right is a sin.

Who judge what is morally right or wrong?
If for instance in Yoruba land, it is morally wrong for a boy to great an elderly while standing, he is expected to prostrate. Is that a moral in the UK or US? Does that make it a sin?
The Bible is our rule book not CULTURAL morality because morality depends on what culture says it is. The Bible never mentioned GAMBLING as a sin, neither did it mention Forex trading or Stock buying. If you can any a sin, na your own be that. God will judge is us by the scriptures not by opinions.

mariovito:
Technically, yes and no

Fortune telling is not permitted which gambling sort of falla under

But in the bible, casting lots was done which is also a form of gambling

What about Forex trading? How do you know Naira will fall and Dollar will rise? Is that not prediction? What about Stock market? How do you know which stock to buy and hold? Is that not prediction? Why didn't the Bible mention gambling as a sin when it was listing other sins? Abi gambling no dey that time? Why was it omitted in diverse verses of scriptures where others were mentioned?
Thanks

tesuto1:
Just wanna know,is there a difference between sport gambling and forex trading,since both are games of eventuality

I also asked the question bro. Oversabi people never answer me ooo.

Dtruthspeaker:
It is known that Banks is in the sin of stealing of which they were the ones who caused armed robberies to be done and insecurity so that people were forced bring their monies to them. That was why in those days people even said that they would not allow their children to be bankers. Churches then used to reject their "support".

But unfortunately they are protected by the same bandits called govt.

However, gambling is based on stealiing and unlawful gain that is why it is a sin

Quote just ONE place or verse where the Bible mentioned "GAMBLING" specifically as a SIN. Abi was there no gambling in the scriptural days? Why was it not mentioned specifically like other sins in Romans 1 and Galatians 5 or Revelations 20? Oya answer.

MaxInDHouse:
Sorry the Bible God instructed Adam the first man to go into agriculture {Genesis 2:15} so it's the work God gave humans not some goddess!🙂

So, when the apostles also casted lots to choose Matthias or when the High priest casts lot to chose the animal to sacrifice and the one to send to the wilderness as scapegoat, that is what? Explain to me the essence of casting lots in the Bible please and how it is different from gambling.

PLEASE, ALSO TELL NE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAMBLING AND FOREX OR STOCK MARKET. OYA

AMINDA:
No. The key takeaway is clear. Obi should make up his mind. He can't continue to parade himself as a member of the coalition while undermining it. No one insists that he must be a part of the coalition. Obi has already lost some ground in the SS, SW and the NC and he has lost those grounds to Tinubu. There may even be voter apathy in the SE if he insists and runs solo. On the other hand, if Tinubu has lost any ground in the North, he has lost it to Atiku. The ADC will conduct a primary. That is non-negotiable and it's ticket will not be zoned. Obi should do what's in his best interest. I personally want him to run solo. It will create the perfect scenario for the election to go into a run-off because Tinubu will not get the highest votes on the first ballot.

Tell me one ground Atiku has won or TINUBU has lost. Una don start this propaganda again.
Una wan use Obi popularity take package Atiku. E no fit work. It is still the turn of the south. Obi will not allow the north to have the turn of the south. He will either make a choice to run as president or support a southern president. Simplito.

The Key thing I could deduce from what Bolaji Abdulahi said is: Obi is needed to build the party, but Atiku is the potential Candidate. So Obi should jettison zoning and embrace building the party for Atiku to run.
Does that make any sense?

4. Borno State – Engr. Prof. Babagana Zulum (KANURI)

16. Sokoto State – Ahmed Aliyu (FULANI)

17. Taraba State – Arch. Agbu Kefas (JUKUN)

18. Yobe State – Mai Mala Buni (KANURI)

19. Zamfara State – Dauda Lawal (FULANI)

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.

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.

Vvvvvv

Milk. Simple

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?

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.

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.

PUBLIC BRIEFING NOTE: 07.11.2025.

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?

NO BE JUJU BE DAT?

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.
