African leaders are just too dumb and full of personal egos with no plan for future development and liberation.

How can you claim to free yourself from the grip of France and at the same time running under the jaw of Russia?

Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN)
The body of Catholic Bishops of the Owerri Ecclesiastical Province has called on the judiciary to rise to the occasion and rescue the nation’s “ailing” democracy.

The clerics’ call forms part of the communique issued at the end of their two-day meeting at the Umuahia Diocesan Secretariat and made available to newsmen on Wednesday.

They described the judiciary as the nation’s “hope at the moment.”

The six-point communique was jointly signed by the Archbishop of the province, Most Rev. Lucius Ugorji, and Bishop of Aba, Most Rev. Augustine Echema, as Chairman and Secretary, respectively.

The clergymen decried the pitfalls that allegedly characteeised the 2023 General Elections.

According to them, the results of the polls could hardly be considered as reflecting the overall will of the people.

They blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission and some political actors for the alleged irregularities in the electoral process, which “dashed the hopes of the people”.

“What our people boldly needed this year was a transparent electoral process that would march their enthusiasm for a new democratic dispensation and provide renewed hope and confidence in our political process.

“Unfortunately, this was not to be,” the bishops said.

They also expressed worry over the worsening insecurity in the country, pointing out that the situation had led to scores of deaths of innocent citizens, security personnel, traditional rulers, priests and religious, amongst others.”

Second paragraph is where most women get it wrong , how can you not interfere in your husband's dealings? Why then did you marry him if you don't want to interfare in all his dealings. Men are very cunning and manipulative, they will always come up with lines that will give them space for cheating e.g don't pick his calls, don't check his phones, don't question his movements and all that. A relative of mine was doing her traditional wedding and all those elders (men) were busy giving advise that'll enable the man to cheat, each time they give the advise I'll giggle with a bombastic side eyes till my mom stylishly summoned me and took me inside my aunt's room 🤣🤣🤣🤣

... all options are on the table but the illegitimate President in Nigeria heading ECOWAS decided to start threatening to use force.

Political activist, Aisha Yesufu has berated President Bola Tinubu over the methods employed in tackling the chaos in the Niger Republic.

Naija News recalls that Tinubu had sought the approval of the senate to take military actions against the embattled country.

However, the lawmakers had refused to grant the president permission and advised on more diplomatic measures.

Speaking on the situation, Yesufu condemned the president for his stringent measures.

She argued that if the Labour Party flag bearer, Peter Obi were president and replicating such measures, he would have come under heavy criticism.

She opined that Tinubu is suffering from inferiority complex, hence his need to always try and prove himself.

According to her, “Imagine for a moment it was Peter Obi in office and he made a mess of the situation in Niger. The people whose voices would have been hoarse by now are quiet and blind to the immature handling of the whole situation.

“#NotMyPresidentTinubu used to crude handling of those who oppose started with the last resort

“Countries with military power to do what they like will still be using words like “ all options are on the table but the illegitimate President in Nigeria heading ECOWAS decided to start threatening to use force.

“From someone they said has been prepared to rule from the beginning.

“Inferiority complex is dangerous especially in leadership position. In a desperate bid to be seen as one who knows what he is doing and also to get legitimacy #NotMyPresidentTinubu started from a bilateral deal that has been there for decades.”

Tinubu has submitted a legal request aiming to block a federal court in the United States from releasing his academic records from university to Atiku Abubakar

President Bola Tinubu has submitted a legal request aiming to block a federal court in the United States from releasing his academic records from university to Atiku Abubakar, his rival in Nigeria’s presidential election of February 2023.

According to the Peoples Gazette, Mr. Abubakar approached the States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on August 2nd, seeking a subpoena for Chicago State University to disclose Mr. Tinubu’s educational records.

He referenced longstanding controversies surrounding the background of Nigeria’s president. Journalist David Hundeyin uncovered records suggesting that a Bola Tinubu who attended Chicago State University in the 1970s was female.

Records from the CSU registrar’s office confirm that a Bola Tinubu graduated on June 22, 1979, without specifying the gender of the student. The connection between this individual and the current Nigerian presidency remains unclear.

Mr. Abubakar informed the court that he requires these documents as part of the discovery process to bolster his legal challenge against the declaration of Mr. Tinubu as Nigeria’s president on March 1, 2023, following a contentious election on February 23.

In response, Mr. Tinubu swiftly assembled a legal team and requested to be included as an interested party in the lawsuit. He asserted that Chicago State University might not adequately safeguard his interests as the subject of the sought-after records. His motion to join the suit was filed on August 3 and presented by his Chicago-based attorney, Christopher Carmichael.

The motion argued, “Mr. Tinubu should be allowed to join or intervene because he has a direct personal interest in the records sought, his interests are not fully represented or protected by Respondent Chicago State University, and his interests will be affected if he is not permitted to join or intervene.”

Chicago State University stated that its responsibility was fulfilled by notifying the relevant parties about the application and the attempt to access the records. The university’s stance is that it is not obligated to oppose the application and, as a result, does not adequately represent Mr. Tinubu’s interests, according to the filing.

Therefore, Mr. Tinubu contended that the records should remain confidential under the 1974 American student privacy law. His legal team argued that Mr. Abubakar’s lawsuit indirectly targets Mr. Tinubu by seeking access to records that federal and state governments have deemed confidential under the Federal Educational Records and Privacy Act of 1974.

A federal judge has been assigned to oversee the case, and both parties anticipate an expedited hearing and resolution. Mr. Abubakar argued that a verdict from the Nigerian election petitions tribunal is expected by September 21, 2023.

Previously, Mr. Abubakar had filed a lawsuit in a county court in Chicago, Illinois. However, he withdrew it in favor of filing a more comprehensive case in federal court, leading to the dismissal of the earlier case from the docket. This paved the way for Mr. Abubakar’s federal complaint. While some Nigerian media outlets incorrectly reported that the substantive case had been dismissed, Mr.

Abubakar’s filing indicated that he voluntarily withdrew the case to avoid any perception of abusing the court process.

Mr. Abubakar, a prominent figure from the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), welcomed Mr. Tinubu’s motion to join the lawsuit. His legal team stated that their client does not oppose Mr. Tinubu’s intention to join the suit, as they had previously encouraged him to do so.

The International College of Democracy and Human Rights (Enugu); comprising over 120 experts including serving and University retired professors, doctorate degree holders, lawyers, criminologists, religious leaders, civil society leaders, human rights and democracy activists have called on the Five-Man Panel, Justices of the Court of Appeal of the 2023 Presidential Election Petitions’ Tribunal (PEPT) to morally and judicially ensure that the verdict of the PEPT is tailored in a decided case as it ought to be devoid of “technicalities and political orbiters or ethno-religious biases and divisions.

The group said that PEPT verdict must be such that is tailored in ‘living and demoatically progressive law’, stressing that the Justices must be reminded that the sacred collective assignment given to them by Nigerians is to factually determine the true winner and losers of the 2023 Presidential Election using the laid down rules and procedures including the collected and tabulated results in the FormEC8As and recognized electronic devices.

The four signatory group-coalitions to the Joint-Statement were represented by John Gregg, an American democracy campaigner, Bernhard Wanner, a Swiss human rights campaigner and Prof Justin Akujieze (Ekwenche-USA); the Eastern Democracy and Human Rights Coalition (Port Harcourt), comprising 40 groups and individuals advocating for democracy and human rights within and beyond Eastern Nigeria-represented by Prof Jerry Chukwuokoro and Amadiebube Mbama (USA); the South-East Based Coalition of Democracy and Human Rights Organizations (Enugu), a coalition of over 20 democracy and human rights groups of South-East extraction-represented by Aloysius Attah (South-East CLO Chair) and Engineer Ikenwoke Nwandu (a Computer Security expert); the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), Nigeria’s leading research and investigative advocacy Organization since 2008-represented by Emeka Umeagbalasi (Criminologist-Researcher) and Ositadinma Agu (UK).

“It is also the assigned sacred duty of the PEPT Justices to determine the number of the ‘dead votes/results’ in the INEC announced presidential results from the country’s over 176,000 polling units and have them detached and invalidated. The awaiting verdict must be rooted in ‘spirit and letters of the law’ and not cloaked in legal loopholes or technicalities’. Matters involving presidential poll judicial enquiries are like matters involving mass deaths requiring judicial probes which must find answers as to: who are those killed? And when, where, how and why they were killed and who killed them?

“The Justices of the PEPT must also be allowed by the Presidency including the country’s spy police chiefs and regular police authorities to freely and morally write and deliver their verdict popularly and independently and refrain from moves strongly suggestive of forcing a scripted verdict on them prepared by the presidential “evil geniuses” to be delivered by PEPT to Nigerians and the world. The INEC-supervised rigging of the 2023 Presidential Poll in Nigeria is as worse as the military coups in the Republics of Niger, Chad and Burkina Faso and those going to the equity must at all times go with clean hands.

According to the Human Rights Organizations, “apart from a corrupt judge being worst than a demented man running amok with a sharp knife in a crowded market, he also hides under the cloak of ‘technicalities and political orbiters’ as his ‘ratio dicidendi’ or facts derived from weak laws or legal loopholes’. It must also be pointed out that majority of Nigerian Judges and ‘pro establishment lawyers’ have earned ‘notorious and crooked expertise’ in ‘legal technicalities (loopholes) and political orbiters’.

“These ‘crooked feats’ so achieved especially since 2015 have left Nigeria with the internationally rated or measured status of second to none in the world; to the extent that in international jurisprudential discourse, the growth of law in Nigeria amounts to under-growth of law in democracy compliant countries with international jurisprudential best practices in that killer-laws such as legal technicalities or loopholes thrive and shape the laws of countries with endemic and pandemic corruption under which Nigeria is unarguably and inescapably classified” the groups stated.
