Very pathetic I must tell you, just look at how poverty is dealing with Africans yet no tangible help from the West, but to give out millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine is no problem.

How much was Ukraine receiving in 2019, 2020 ?
Zilch.
If you want war aid, you need to start a war too!

Biafraaa:
Lol. You sound really funny. Let the US cross all red lines in Ukraine like they did in Iraq and other states let's see how it ends.

All this baby analyst being.
What red lines?

You really are ignorant of the US foreign policy.

Biafraaa:
The purpose of this war to the West is to weaken Russia and its influence and not to defeat Russia. Ukraine are paying a heavy price for this.

Putin invaded Ukraine but the purpose of the war is to weaken Russia.
Do you mean Putin is working for the west?

kinkymax:
lol… u need to understand something’s bfr commenting.. he was trying to say uK economy is not balance yet they are spending money on cruise misiles for another country and he is very right,,,,,egg and food general are becoming really expensive in the uK

He was either ignorant or naive to have say such.
There is no relationship between expensive egg and missile donation.

sukkot:
china is with russia

What China?
You don't really know how much the US is waiting for China to make a mistake.
While Americans opinions are divided on Ukraine Both Democrat and Republican are fully aligned
on anti-China stands and the hawks in both parties are placing immense pressure on Biden.

There is something the US will never overlook, that is its economic interest.
It will go to war to protect it.
China is so smart that it didn't take the Taiwan trap.

RIP

Kanu case is simple ....you can't commit a crime to bring a criminal to book

Kidnapping him has unvalidated all the crimes n commited ...FG has lost moral ground to prosecute him in any law

Truth is you can't keep adjoining forever

You are ignorant.
There is no "moral ground" in law, it is either you violate the law or not.
Hushpuppi was transported to the US despite UAE having no extradition procedure
to transfer him.
Go and ask his lawyer, how his "illegal" transfer argument worked out.

silibaba:
And still he's winning in all the court so far. E remain the last one tomorrow.

Which court is he winning?
Many of you don't even know the cases before a court and yet jump into conclusion.
Kanu has never been discharged of his numerous crimes by any court in Nigeria. None.

MXrep:
Court ruled that he should appear and he ran away, that's the difference

Which court?

Jostoman:
not hospital thing, he just doesnt want to appeared in court, he sent lalong to represent him but the court rejected him so the next thing na to run away and hide somewhere till may 29.

Do you mean if he stays in Nigeria, he will be forced to go to court?
I can't remember any president-elect bothering with tribunal proceedings.
Lawyers handle everything.

TUANKU:
You mean he is trying to evade justice?

Don't sound naive.
His presence in court is not needed unless the judges say so.

linearity:
The real question is....does LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY truly have the power to impound and impose fines on Nigerians?

Nigerians are just taking these things lying down because going to Court is expensive and consume a lot of time. Until a Court of Competent jurisdiction has adjudicate on these questions, it is premature to conclude that these agencies despite what they do everyday truly have such powers.

A Federal High Court had previous ruled against FRSC that they do not have the power to impose fines and that court followed the same logic as above that, they must pass through the Court to be able to do so and that, they cannot be Judge and Jury in their own case.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/court-rules-against-imposition-of-fine-by-frsc-for-offences/

Gradually, Nigerians are fighting back and one block at a time the system seems to be sanitizing itself....Impunity can not run amok forever.

Actually, it is attention-seeking judges who make such pronouncement.
There is no country where sundry offenses are mandatorily serviced through the courts.
Traffic cops routinely issue out tickets for over-speeding or wrong parking.
Environmental watchdogs impose fine on erring companies too.

It is up to an offender to challenge the fine and claim innocence
rather than challenge the power of regulatory bodies to impose fine.

I expect the appeal and supreme court to do the needful and failing to do that,
the national assembly will make the adequate explicit amendment.

What is the use of a regulatory body that cannot impose penalties?

All these baby judges making spurious pronouncement.
He should have declared all NBC activities illegal.
He shouldn't even stop there, all other regulatory bodies should be declared
illegal too because they are not a court.

Each time an infraction is discovered, they should first ask the court if they
can investigate, then after that ask the court if they can impose fine on the
erring body.
SMH.

Psalmistproject:
What use is wike to anyone after this month He has to put his house together. APC slots never even reach their stakeholders let alone wike. So wike needs PDP now more than ever. It's called carrot and stick tactics.

Rob them then follow back yard to come and beg them.

What does Wike needs PDP for, you refused to say.
What can PDP offer anybody at this time?
Absolutely nothing.

PDP will be the one begging Wike who was their cash cow from 2015 to 2022.

Cuntface:
APC government is just playing a chess.
They sacrificed Osun election as the pawn to unleash their corrupt practice in the presidential tribunal.
This government or the judiciary shouldn't be trusted.

Did "they" also sacrifice David Lyon to Diri or PDP for Matawalle in anticipation of 2023?
Your brain is not for decoration, use it.

Psalmistproject:
Wikes gamble on the good favors of escoBAT has failed woefully hence he's jittery and sending people to now reconcile him with Atiku. His only hope lieS with Obi nwannem

let him confess openly on how he conducted the worst election rigging of our time to favor tinubu. Once OBI is sworn in, he will not be hanged by the balls at least 7years in kirikiri will be fair.

Jittery of what?
What can a PDP without power do to him?

sonature1:
iRev or no IRev, the major issue in that case was over-voting and that's totally wrong. Allowing over-voting to continue means allowing INEC to negatively influence the process.

The judiciary should start calling for a rerun in places where there's over-voting so know the true winners of guber elections. Where this may not apply is in presidential elections.

Congratulations to Adeleke. I hope stakeholders learn from all this.

How many reruns will be enough per election?
2, 5 , 10 ?
If politician knows for certain that over voting will truncate opponents victory,
they will start planning for it.
The courts has to draw the line somewhere and look at the margin of victory.

The news about Adeboye is actually fake.
No single evidence of him saying such, not even in this age of a million cameras.

Illiterates everywhere.

BeLookingIDIOT:
The kidney was compatible,the part that failed was the interview. The boy claimed he didn't know what he was there for or even what a kidney is. He obviously deliberately sabotaged the process.

He was not a compatible donor.
If his initial plan was just to sabotage the process, he wouldn't go to the hospital,
he would head straight to the police.

He ran away from Ekwe's home after and not before the test when he realized
he is going back home.

Note that it was Ekwe's doctor that was coordinating everything, if he sensed any sign
of dissent, he would have been discharged the boy before seeing any doctor because
he knows the dangers of British legal system to organ purchasers.

yinkus6750:
Waooohhh
Finally, Dangote refinery is ready.
PMB wants to take glory for it, hence ensuring he commissions it before leaving office.
Hope they will start refining immediately after commissioning?
How will it's functioning affect subsidy and petrol price?

It won't affect price.
Dangote will sell at international rate unless FG is ready to pay him subsidy.

Trouble go sleep.

Zionmdde:
Sharrap there.
That refinery will not make you better than anyone in this country. It's the same petrol station everyone will buy from. So sharrap and stop sounding as if u have a say

Anyway it's a good news, let's see the impact on naira, though am not thinking dangote will make fuel any cheaper

Dangote will sell fuel at international price unless FG is ready to pay subsidy.

Okay.

grandstar:
You sound like someone who pays his driver with a family 20k a month and never gives him a tip of even N200 to use for "transport."

The real question is why you won't pay your driver 5 million Naira per month and also
help sponsor all his kids to school abroad to show you really care.

Gajagojo:
He has no such power
He is ceremonial.

If you are too lazy to read, don't bother mentioning me.

Numerouno94:
I don't know of Nigeria. Buh go to Indonesia and see Nigerians selling their kidney for 30 to 50million naira.

The truth is those who go to Indonesia for kidney have exhausted all their options
and couldn't find a local match or their time is running out.
So Indonesia kidney is priced at international rate.

Local kidneys are more cheaper.

God1000:
Does he have such power? his powers are ceremonial, Only the prime minister is vested with legal powers.

I don't think king Charles will even get involved in such thing because of his image

Yes, he has such power and no he is not just ceremonial.

slam7000:
Go sell yours for N4.5m.

Btw, the transparent would’ve happened in England. He should’ve been pain in pounds Sterling.

Typical ignoramus.
There are people who clean public toilets for less than minimum wage, does that mean
you have to become a cleaner too?

grandstar:
I have stated from the very start that this was a case of exploitation. These goons did not have the boys interest at heart. It was a case of use and dump.

It was worse when they discovered he was not a "match". They now left him totally high and dry!

If the boy had been given £10k, or even 2m when returning back to Nigeria, he probably would have come back quietly.

"There's no peace" my God has said "the wicked"

Do you even know the meaning of exploitation?
When you board a plane or hire a house mover, do you have any other
interest of the pilot or driver beside the service they are to perform?

I don't understand this kind of entitlement.
He wasn't a match, how was he used and dump.

GeneralPula:
For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and pocketed the rest.

Imagine this. Why would the Dr offered the boy 270k? Both 4.5m & 270k are useless! A kidney is nothing less than 35M !

They attempted to Jonze the Boy & he fought back! Nah real Guy he be!

Nah.
Only a dumb person will pay 45M for a Nigerian kidney.
The asking price is around 3M if you know where to look.

SpecialAdviser:
Those of you who were blaming that smart Igbo boy David can now see🤷

There is nothing smart about that crook who setup Ekweremadu for asylum purpose.
What he doesn't know that an uneducated and unskilled immigrant in the UK have very bleak future.
