SENTIMENTS! SENTIMENTS!! SHEAR SENTIMENTS ARE BEING THROWN UP FOR US TO SWALLOW BY SOME OF OUR NAIRALANDERS! AND TRUE TO TYPE, WE NIGERIANS LIKE TO BLAME OTHERS FOR OUR MISFORTUNES, MOST ESPECIALLY DEATH.

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REALITY SHOW FOR GOODNESS SAKE - NOT A DRAMA, WHICH PRE-SUPPOSES THAT NOTHING WILL BE REHEARSED. THEREFORE, CAVEAT EMPTOR!

SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH OUR PSYCHE, AND THE WAY POVERTY (OR RATHER MILDLY PUT, ECONOMIC HARDSHIP) DEALS WITH OUR PEOPLE, SUCH THAT MANY PEOPLE NOW THINK WITH THEIR POCKETS RATHER THAN THEIR BRAINS. OTHERWISE, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE POSSIBLE GAIN, HOW CAN A WIDOW, WITH AN ONLY CHILD ENCOURAGE OR ALLOW AN ONLY CHILD TO GO FOR A LIFE GAMBLING SHOW LIKE THIS IN THE 1ST PLACE? AND WHY WILL A YOUNG GRADUATE, KNOWING THE LIMITS OF HIS SWIMMING ABILITIES (OR INABILITIES) PLUNGE INTO A RIVER HE WAS SURE HE COULD NOT SWIM ACROSS? PERHAPS HE WAS ASHAMED (AFRICAN PRIDE THING) BECAUSED EVEN, WOMEN CONTESTANTS WERE SWIMMING EFFORTLESSLY AHEAD OF HIM, AND DECIDED THAT, AS YORUBAS SAY; "IKU YA J'ESIN" (DEATH IS MORE HONOURABLE THAN SHAME)!!!

IF THIS GUY ACTUALLY PASSED THE AUDITIONING WHICH INCLUDES SWIMMING (I REMEMBER LAST YEAR'S SCREENING INVOLVED APPLICANTS BEING THROWN OFF A SHIP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAGOON, AND ASKED TO SWIM ASHORE. AT THAT POINT MAJORITY WHO COULD NOT SWIM BACKED OUT AND DISQUALIFIED THEMSELVES), THEN HE MUST HAVE BEEN UNDER INFLUENCE OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS TO HAVE BUCKLED AT THE FIRST HURDLE JUST LIKE THAT! WE ALL KNOW PART OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF STEROIDS IS HEART-ATTACK WHICH CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THIS CASE. OTHERWISE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN ANOTHER CASE OF USING INFLUENCE TO ENTER THRU THE WINDOW OR BACK DOOR, WHICH IS VERY COMMON. WE ALL KNOW WHILE SOME PEOPLE ARE BUSY TAKING THE TEST, MANY OTHERS WILL BRING LETTERS FROM "ABOVE" TO BYPASS THE SCREENING, AND GAIN THE COVETED ADMISSION WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT.

ANOTHER PROVERB IN YORUBA SAYS: "BAKAN, MEJI LA MBA LO S'OGUN, K'A KO WON L'ERU, ABI KAN KO WA L'ERU"
TRANSLATION:[/i] [i]YOU GO TO WAR WITH TWO POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN MIND; TO CAPTURE AND PLUNDER, OR BE CAPTURED AND PLUNDERED THEREFORE, EVERY MATURE MIND KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A RISK (LIKE TAKING PART IN A REALITY SHOW LIKE THIS) EXPECT EITHER THE FAVOURABLE OR THE UNFAVOURABLE. RISK IS NOT ONLY ASSOCIATED WITH GAINS, THERE IS ALSO THE LOSS PART. ALTHOUGH NOBODY WANTS IT, YET IT IS LURKING AROUND THE CORNER.

THIS EXPERIENCE WILL TEACH GULDER'S LAWYERS TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE CONTESTANTS ENDORSE THEIR OWN DEATH WARRANTS IN ADVANCE (THAT IS IF THIS PRESENT CROP DIDN'T SIGN OFF THEIR LIVES ALREADY)

REALITY SHOWS ARE DIFFERENT IN NATURE. GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH DID NOT PRETEND TO BE "SOFT" LIKE BBA, THE APPRENTICE ETC. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TOUGH ENOUGH TO BREAK YOUR BODY AND MIND, UNLESS YOU CAN BE COUNTED AS ONE OF THE ULTIMATES! BESIDES, A CONTESTANT HAS THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ANY TASK, ONLY THAT HIS/HER RATINGS WILL FALL, AND MAY FACE AN EARLY EJECTION. BUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? I'VE WATCHED AN EPISODE OF THE "AUSTRALIAN OUTBACKS" WHERE POEPLE WERE DROPPED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A DANGEROUS WILDERNESS, AND EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER ALMOST A HUNDRED KILOMETERS TO SAFETY & COMFORT. ONE AFTER THE OTHER, MANY CONTESTANTS OPTED OUT BY THEMSELVES, NOT WAITING TO BE VOTED OUT! THAT TO THEM WAS MORE HONOURABLE THAN DYING FOR FEAR OF SHAME.

REMEMBER THE GOOD LORD ADMONISHES US:
1. IT IS NOT BY POWER OR BY MIGHT
2. THE BATTLE IS NOT FOR THE STRONG, NOR THE RACE FOR THE SWIFT.
3. NO ONE BY HIS POWERS OR MIGHT CAN PREVAIL.
4. TAKE HEED, LEST THOSE WHO THINK THEY STAND BE FALLEN ALREADY

IN SPITE OF THIS UNFORTUNATE TRAGEDY, LET THE SHOW BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEOPLE, WHY DO WE LOOK FOR ALIBIS, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME. NOW IT'S THE ORGANIZERS!

WHAT HAPPENED TO SIMPLE HONESTY? WHEN THE GUY COULD NOT SWIM, WHY DID HE NOT SAY SO? WHEN HE ATTEMPTED SWIMMING, AND WAS HAVING PROBLEMS, WHAT IS WRONG IN SHOUTING FOR HELP? AN ALARM RAISED ON TIME WOULD HAVE SAVED HIM.

IN LIFE ONE SHOULD BE TRUTHFUL TO ONESELF (EVEN IF YOU DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD) ONE OF THE IMPORTANT RULES IN LIFE IS; BE YOURSELF. THIS PRESUPPOSES THAT WE SHOULD BE REAL, AND NEVER TRY TO BE SOMEONE ELSE (DON'T COPY OTHERS)

I'M VERY SORRY FOR THE GUY, BUT HE ALSO SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN DECEIVING OTHER & IN THE PROCESS DECEIVED HIMSELF!
TV/MoviesRe: Gulder Ultimate Search 4 (IV)! by iyes(m): 8:33pm On Aug 06, 2007
@seun001

IF HE WAS MY RELATIVE, I'D HAVE SAID THE SAME THING, 'CAUSE I'D HAVE WARNED HIM OF THE INHERENT RISK, AND IF HE WENT AHEAD AND DIED, SO BE IT. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS NOT LIVING OR NOT DIEING, IT'S NOT HOW LONG YOU LIVE OR HOW SHORT, IT'S HOW WELL YOU DO.

TWO THINGS ARE PARAMOUNT:

1. WHAT'S YOUR POSITION WITH GOD?

2. HOW WOULD PEOPLE RECEIVE YOUR LOSS? (HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL MISS YOU SORELY, IS A POINTER TO HOW WELL YOU LIVED) WILL PEOPLE CELEBRATE/JUBILATE THAT YOU'RE GONE, OR THEY'LL HOLD ANNUAL MEMORIAL FOR YOU?

PERHAPS, THE GUY IS ENJOYING IN THE BOSSOM OF THE LORD RIGHT NOW, AND IS SORRY FOR MANY WHO ARE WEEPING FOR HIM?!!!

WHENEVER SOMEONE DIES, THE GOOD BOOK HAS ADMONISHED US NOT TO OVERDO MOURNING, BECAUSE THE "DEAD ARE SIMPLY MOURNING THE DEAD"

IN A FEW YEARS' TIME (SAY 100 YEAR, MAX) WE SHALL ALL LEAVE THIS REALM AND BE HISTORY!!! NO MATTER HOW LONG ANYONE LIVES, LIVE IS LIKE A VAPOUR - SHORT.

THINK ABOUT THAT!
TV/MoviesRe: Gulder Ultimate Search 4 (IV)! by iyes(m): 7:45pm On Aug 06, 2007
WHY DO YOU GUYS CASTIGATE NBL FOR THIS SHOW. INTRINSICALLY, IT WAS CLEAR TO EVERYONE ENTERING IT THAT THERE WAS A RISK, JUST AS THERE IS A RISK IN EVERY HUMAN ENDEAVOUR THAT YIELDS PROFIT/INCOME (WHATEVER THE NAME)

MORESO, IT WAS TAGGED FOR "THE STRONG", "THE ULTIMATE MAN OR WOMAN" ETC. NOW, HOW'RE THE ORGANIZERS GUILTY IF SOMEONE BUCKLES ALONG THE WAY? TO ME, IT MAKES THE SHOW EVEN MORE CREDIBLE, AS REALLY TOUGH! NO PLAY-ACTING, NO FILM-TRICKS, JUST PLAIN. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.

JUST BECAUSE OF A CASUALTY, SOME PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR IT TO BE SCRAPPED?!!!! KAI, WHEN ARE WE (NIGERIANS) GOING TO LIVE UP TO FACE REAL CHALLENGE AND REALITY OF LIFEhuh WE JUST GIVE UP ANYTHING SO EASILY!!!!!!!!!! AND EACH TIME WE FACE A CHALLENGE/PROBLEM, OR THE UNEXPECTED, WE RETREAT, RESIGN TO OUR FATE (MANY, TO THEIR FAITHS) BELIEVEING THAT BY TAKING THE LEAST LINE OF RESISTANCE, THINGS WILL GET BETTER.

THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE CANNOT FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS, BECAUSE, THE MOMENT A POLICEMAN SHOOTS ONE PERSON, , THAT'S IT! , C'EST FINI.

HAVE YOU EVER PONDERED ON HOW MANY WHITE MEN DIED IN OUR LAND IN EXPLORATION & DURING COLONIAL ERA? DID YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THE RAILROADS IN 1896? DID YOU ASK HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING KAINJI & JEBBA DAMS? HABA, COME OFF IT GUYS, & FOR ONCE, BE BOLD. PERHAPS YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YOUTH CORPERS DIE YEARLY DURING NATIONAL SERVICE, SHOULD THEY (OR RATHER, WHY HAVEN'T) THEY STOPPED NYSC PROGRAMME?

THAT SHOW HAS TO CONTINUE, AND IN FACT BE SOLD TO THE ENTIRE WOLD AS THE REAL "REALITY" SHOW FROM AFRICA, BECAUSE THE C.V. SPEAKS FOR IT (NAMELY; IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS, AND SOMEONE HAS LOST HIS LIFE IN IT ALREADY)

IT PROVES THAT TRUELY, IT'S A SHOW OF SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! (NOT JUST BUILDING UP OF MUSCLES, AS THAT HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH STRENGTH, MOST ESPECIALLY MENTAL , PSYCHOLOGICAL OR/AND INNER STRENGTH)

ULTIMATE SEARCH 5 (2008) INTENDING CANDIDATES, BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (DON'T DARE IT IF YOU CAN'T COPE)
RomanceRe: Women Cheat More Than Men by iyes(m): 8:29pm On May 04, 2007
HABA YOU ALL!!!

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE RIDDLE TO SOLVE. WOMEN AND MEN CHEAT EQUALLY 50:50 FOR NORMAL PEOPLE (HETEROSEXUALS)

REASON: ALL THE TIME THEY CHEAT WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX! SO, IF A GUY CHEATS 100 TIMES HE DOES IT WITH WOMEN, AND VICE VERSA.

THE NET EFFECT IS THAT IF YOU OPEN "A CHEATING" ACCOUNT FOR BOTH SEXES, PUTTING MEN ON THE LEFT SIDE, AND WOMEN ON THE RIGHT (CALLED DEBIT AND CREDIT), THEN MARK OFF OR TICK EACH SIDE WHENEVER A CHEATING HAPPENS, AND SUM UP THE TOTALS ON BOTH SIDE EACH DAY (OR WHATEVER PERIOD YOU CHOOSE) YOU WILL END UP HAVING PERFECTLY THE SAME NUMBER/FIGURE ON BOTH SIDE OF THE ACCOUNT.

I MEAN THE AMOUNT OF DEBITS WILL EQUAL THE CREDITS, AND THE BALANCE WILL BE ZERO!

Q.E.D!
RomanceRe: Why Did You End Your Last Relationship? by iyes(m): 8:27pm On Mar 14, 2007
I'm married, she isn't. It was all supposed to be no strings attached. then she started being too jealous, suspicious, overly inquisitive, and lastly too protective that I dare not as little as look in the direction of a group/crowd if there is a woman in their midst, she'll accuse me of dating whoever.

Quarrels were getting too often, she'll call or sms me anytinme of the day or night, threaten to end it only to call back begging that she didnt mean it, cry bitterly that I shd not leave her plssssssssss. She was actually acting up the jealous and nagging wife, despite being aware that we were not for marriage (even if we were, there's no way I could have put up with such a character for the rest of my life!) Eventually, she squeezed me up, and choke life out of the relationship. Naturally.
RomanceRe: I'm 15 And My Boyfriend Is 20: Is That Right Or Wrong? by iyes(m): 12:20pm On Nov 01, 2006
IT'S AN IDEA THAT'S AT LEAST 3 YRS TOO EARLY.

PERHAPS IF YOU'D WAITED ENOUGH, THIS QUESTION WOULD HAVE DIED A NATURAL DEATH.

CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF ASKING THE SAME QUESTION IN 5 TO 10 YRS' TIME? , NOPE, I'M SURE.

THEREFORE, IT'S THE IMPROPRIETY THAT PRICKED YOUR CONSCIENCE TO ASK IN THE 1ST PLACE.

THERE'S AN OLD YORUBA WISE SAYING THAT: "OMOBINRIN KEKERE TO BA GBE ORO OKUNRIN LE IBI PATAKI OKAN RE LOWURO AYE RE, OMOBIRIN NAA KO LE DI PATAKI LAELAE"  I.E.  ANY YOUNG GIRL THAT PLACES MEN MATTERS ON THE IMPORTANT PART OF HER HEART OR CONCERNS EARLY IN LIFE, SUCH A GIRL CANNOT BECOME IMPORTANT IN LIFE (AND VICE VERSA FOR BOYS)

MY ADVICE: GO AFTER IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WILL LAY SOLID FOUNDATION FOR YOUR FUTURE. MEN MATTERS WILL COME AT APPOINTED TIME, AND IF YOU PRIORTISE YOUR LIFE WELL, MEN WILL BE FALLING OVER THEMSELVES JUST TO BE COUNTED, EVEN IF AS JUST YOUR ACQUIANTACES.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!
Christianity EtcMany Air Crashes During His Short Tenure So Far - Is Minister Aborishade Jinxed? by iyes(op): 9:22pm On Oct 30, 2006
Prof Aborishade is roughly a year and half as minister of aviation in Nigeria. In this short spell, his tenure has recorded air crashes at the rate of about one every two months, some of which have been very fatal.

These mishaps have not spared any type of flight - commercial, cargo, military, private, helicopters et al.

Unfortunately, the leadership of the Aviation Ministry have other focus other than air travel safety. For instance, rather than upgrading the air control systems at Lagos local and international airports, under him, they were busy awarding spurious contracts in "come and chop" fashion. E.g. cutting of airport grass for about N450Million, fencing of the airport (against rodents I guess, as those fences never kept away vandals, and cattle from the runway) for close to a billion, meanwhile, the runways were ALL pot-hole ridden, to the point that only one (runway 18) was working all year, and soon it also got bad. in addition to no lights aid for night landing.

In fact at a time, it was known that landing in any airports in Nigeria (probably up till now) pilots relied on best of judgement and experience rather than any airports controls. And night flights landing was as good as russian roulette. Radar? what does that mean?? Do they sell it at Alaba or Yabahuh , Forget it then!

Now we are harvesting from his lack of vision, direction, control, understanding and grasp of the situation, and general laissez faire. When the Bellview cresh happened in October last year, many called for the scalp of the man, who was seen as grossly incompetent on the job, but his godfather, OBJ saved him, pleading that he be given more time to "settle" in, and that he was just unlucky that the mishap happened about half a year after he took over. He has now, and many more crashes have followed. But I remember, the senate refused to ratify the man's nomination for the job, citing his woeful performance as Education minister (in fact he was the worst education minster to date) and "baba" had to ram it down their (senate's) throat insisting that he (Borisade) was appointed by force. Eventually, he was after appearing about 3 or 4 times before the senate. Let's just say he was "promoted on trial" after those re-sits!

Now, the question has reared its dragonian head again. Is he just unlucky or outrightly unfit for the job?

Either way, I'm afraid (my personal opinion though) he is too "dangerous" for enthrusting the lives of passengers to in Nigerian airspace.

What do you think?

This is always the problems with NIGERIANS jumping in2 conclusions

All i can say naw is FAYOSE did not do something people had not heard before .you guys should jus let him b abeg!! he so much things 4 EKITI STATE ---i was there i saw so much changes !!!! People r not jus gratful--- saw on T.V d other day YOUTHS carry smtin lik a casket AYO FAYOSE written on it waz that 4? did he kill anybdy? *** SHAKES HEAD 4 NIGERIA****

Report to moderator Logged

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
80% of Men Are Impotent


JAYBABY: SO, IF FAYOSE DID WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE B4, HE SHOULD CONTINUE IN IT? IS THAT A JUSTIFICATION TO PERPETUATE BAD RULERSHIP? AND IF YES, WHAT LEGACY ARE WE LEAVING FOR THE PRESENT GENERATION (LET ALONE THE NEXT)? REMEMBER ANY PUBLIC OFFICER IS A ROLE MODEL, AND ALMOST HALF OF THE POPULATION OF NIGERIANS (BORN SINCE 1976 - 30YR OLDS, AND PROBABLY OLDER) DO NOT KNOW WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS, AND HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT AT WORK, AS THEY WERE TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND IT BTW 1979 - 1983. MEANWHILE, NO MEANINGFUL DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN PRACTICED SINCE 1999 - WE ARE CONSTANTLY TOLD IT'S A "DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT" " WE ARE LEARNING" (TO WALK) AGAIN!

QUESTION - DID HE KILL ANYBODY?: FAYOSE HAS TO EXPLAIN;
1. THE DEATH OF 6 COLLEGE OF EDUCATIONS STUDENTS HE ORDERED HIS SECURITY TO SHOOT WHEN THEY DEMONSTRATED AGAINST HIM 3 YRS AGO.

2. THE DEATH OF MR. OMOJOLA (THEN, BASED IN GERMANY), WHO HIS SECURITY & BROTHER STRANGLED TO DEATH WHILE HE WATCHED, AT IFAKI EKITI DURING A BYE ELECTION 2 YRS AGO, JUST BECAUSE THE GUY SUPPORTED HIS RIVAL PARTY!

3. THE DEATH OF DR DARAMOLA, WHOM HE SAW AS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO HIS RE-ELECTION, DUE TO HIS (DARAMOLA'S PEDIGREE) ALL BECAUSE THE GUY DECLARED HIS GUBERNATORIAL AMBITION FOR NEXT YEAR!

4. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY HIS SECURITY MEN ON FASUBA (FORMER L.G. CHAIRMAN, WHOM FAYOSE REMOVED BY ALL MEANS, ALL BECAUSE HIS POPULARITY PROFILE WAS RISING TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO BEAR ), WHO AFTER ESCAPING TO THE OBA'S (EWI OF ADO EKITI) PALACE, FAYOSE LED HIS TEAM THERE, AND WHEN THE OBA REFUSED TO RELEASE HIM TO FAYOSE, HE INSULTED THE MONARCH, AND LATER PUBLICLY DISGRACED HIM (OBA) AT ADO EKITI STADIUM DURING A PUBLIC FUNCTION!

5. MAINTAING A KILLER SQUAD, IN THE NAME OF SECURITY, WITH WHICH HE HAD SCARED AWAY, OR EXILED MEANINGFUL EKITI INDIGENES. REMINISCENT OF ABACHA'S TACTICS. THE SSS HAVE ALREADY INDICTED HIM ON THIS, AND OBJ IS AWARE!

WHAT MANNER OF THUGS IS THIS GUY THAT FOUND HIS WAY TO THE GOVT HOUSE, AND HOW COME THE PEOPLE ACQUIESCED SO MUCH AS TO WATCH/ ALLOW SUCH A DECREPIT GET NEAR THE STATE HOUSE GATE?!!!

NEVER AGAIN!!! THEY MUST BE SAYING BY NOW.
PoliticsRe: Governor Fayose Finally Impeached by iyes(m): 1:24pm On Oct 18, 2006
There can't be any anarchy in the state - if by now there's none - going by the record and temperament of the people.

Remember 1983, they went wild when agrieved that their popular choice (Ajasin) who was not an Ekiti man was being robbed and fought against Omoboriowo (ironically, an Ekiti man, who they should have accepted as one of their own, ala "omo wa ni, e je o se"wink It was the arson, lynching and general chaos then that led to the downfall of 2nd republic.

Now if Fayose had been the popular choice of the people, the house of assembly members would have had their properties in flames, and many lives gone by now, in a simultaneous orgy of violence that would have engulfed the entire state.

That the people have supported the law-makers so far, even if tacitly, shows that there wont be any violence or anarchy, and that they consider Fayose & deputy as good riddance to bad rubbish. And that's what the federal govt is been wary of by not imposing or forcing any decision on those folks. Eventually, they may take the option of allowing the parties going to court.

But the poser now is; how can Fayose come out for litigation, when the veil of immunity is temporarily off him? 'cause as is now, EFCC is at liberty to arrest him!


P.S.

Sorry for telling you folks that Fayose was arrested yesterday, I read it from Tribune. But it was his wife they got, not him!
PoliticsRe: Governor Fayose Finally Impeached by iyes(m): 7:20pm On Oct 17, 2006
News have it that the guy, seeing that the game was up, bolted away from Ado-Ekiti on sunday on the pretext he was going for a night vigil in Ibadan (he must be a student of alamiesiegha and charles taylor's school) but was arrested at Nigeria-Benin border.

His wrists should be adorned by beautifully glittering hand-cuffs by now, in preparation for facing the law, and answering questions on murders, graft, money laundering, abuse of power and outrightright corruption.

Perhaps now, it may have started to dawn on him that political power devolves from the people, and for whoever holds it, it's temporal - irrespective of how long and how much (power is vested in the individual). Someday, the lease will expire.
PoliticsRe: Governor Fayose Finally Impeached by iyes(m): 9:32am On Oct 17, 2006
There has been no constitutional crisis, or trampling on the constitution in the case of Fayose's impeachment, let's look at the facts:

1. Constitution requires the governor to recommend and then 2/3rd of house of assembly to ratify for a CJ to be removed.

2. The same constitution empowers the house speaker to act in lieu, if the governor and the deputy are incapacitated to act in their positions.

3. The rule of natural justice "nemo judes in causa sua" (you cannot be a judge in your own court) makes it impossible for anyone to adjudicate in his own matter. This knocks out Fayose and the deputy from having any judicial or moral right in the matter of sacking or re-appointing a CJ, and by extension any panel on his impeachment matter, for the simple reason that they are RELATED PARTIES. Otherwise, the impartiality of the panel will be in doubt.

4. With this void created, the next and natural thing is for the next authority in line, the house of assembly, to take up the mantle, and act.

5. The constitution also requires the house to ratify, and swear in any panel appointed by a CJ before they can commence any sitting. The discredited panel did not satisfy this requirement, rather, they rushed to conclussion by absolving the accused of ALL blames without taking any evidence from any party! Even if the house members did not appear before them, they could still have pretended to be impartial, and take submissions from the EFCC, whose reports started this all!

6. The deposed CJ, clearly showed that he was not neutral by not acting honourably as demanded by ethics of his profession, to step down on the case when his impartiality, and indeed his panel was questioned! What a "honourable" judge does is to resign that appointment, and let the second in command (Aladejana) take over the proceedings.

Therefore, where the governor and the deputy were disqualified from acting on a matter of their own by rule of natural justice, and by the powers conferred by the constitution, then the next authority in line is in order to act. i.e to remove or appoint a new CJ. Q.E.D.

Or is there anyone out there who is deluded that Fayose would have changed the CJ before the end of his tenure, if asked by a 2/3rd majority of the house?

Thank you all!

You can start a street corner telephone stand business with that. All you need is a table, chair, an umbrella, and a secondhand, but rugged mobile telephone. Soon you'll be able to add more phones, move into a kiosk, and eventually a shop.
