Even though I know Prof Sagay would naturally support the government on this particular matter, it's clear for everyone to see that he made sound arguments. Arguments I would like to see fellow attorneys who are of different opinions counter while focusing on the issues at hand and not resort to under-arm tactics.

His points on whether if this was to be a case of murder would the police be expected to wait for the decision of the NJC before making arrest, And the fact the CJN, who appointed the overwhelming majority of the members of the NJC, of which he's the chairman
Cannot be expected to judge his case fairly, those two arguments Particularly resonate with common sense.

However, even if the FG cannot get him before the CCT, I'd still like for them to submit their evidence and present the case in front of the NJC. The aim wouldn't be to get justice now, it will be to expose the alter rubbish that is the Criminal Justice System in Nigeria.

No..he is telling you the deep truth. They are not with white women because of love but for status due to inferiority complex

And white women who married Black men do so because of inferiority complex right?

True Detective is well and truly back. Time for some serious sh.it for serious men after all these dramatic dramas that's been polluting this space

Mhen, it's been more than a year and no news on Mindhunter? Don't make us wait 2 years please

i don't care for politics in Nigeria

Too much double standards. Corruption can never die because you cannot fight one side and allow another to thrive, you are working in futility

Today, they fight one tribe and ONR group and leave another group to thrive. Tomorrow a new group will come to fight the side that was ignored and turn a blind eye to their side and the cycle will continue. What is the difference between the CJ and Kemi Adeosun? Or is corruption only seen on one side?


If corruption cannot be fought holistically without minding whose ox is gored, then the fight is lost. And people like you who think that something is being done because one side is being attacked, are the reason why corruption will never die.

[b][/b] This country is dead, and can never be saved because of the likes of you.


PS: we are in a multi-ethnic society, do not assume that decisions can be taken in this country without people looking at the ethnic perspective. Even in the US, people look at various perspectives, be they racial, religious, or sexuality inclined. The sooner some of you understand that, the sooner you will realise that there is no reason why people shouldn't look at EVERY decision through every prism available to determine if it comes from a good place or from a place of malice.

Targeting a group of people because they disagree with your politics IS corruption. This APC government has been EXTREMELY corrupt, fraud and theft are not the only signs of corruption.

I cannot in my right senses say the fight against corruption in this country has been comprehensive. Double standards exist everywhere, it shouldn't surprise you that we're chief culprit in this side of the world.

You can be specific. I would really like for you to clearly state the side/divide that's being attacked.

Kemi Adeosun, what about Kemi? NYSC forgery? You had initially insinuated that the reason why the CJN was being charged was because of his Name/tribe/rejoin/religion. It seems Kemi helps your position so you've no problem forgetting where she comes from in this case. That being said, I believe certificate forgery is an offense and she should answer for it.

What an irony, the CJN cannot be exempted from any allegation of selective prosecution against this government as a crucial member.


Basically, you're suggesting the government should look for corrupt persons from all the 36 states and charge them all. With the aim to satisfy federal character, like they select ministers and government officials. Funny.

I hope you can see what this is, we're not even talking about whether this man committed an offense or not, we're talking about whether another man was charged or not.

Hopefully, the Chief Justice of Nigeria express the same sentiments many Nigerians like yourself gave and tell the whole world he's being prosecuted because his name is not Adeosun but Onnoghen and that he's innocent simply because others have not being found guilty.

The CJN case is an isolated event in the eyes of the law and independent of any other corruption case. What you, I and others ought to do is not free one cause we can't get the others. Instead of telling the government to look away from Onnoghen, let's remind them to look in the direction of the others. There's no better moment than now!

However, you said alot of things, most I agree with and
few I don't. We move forward still.

safarigirl:
if you read the article, you would see where it was stated that the law gives the man immunity from being charged as long as he remains CJN. He can only be charged after he is removed by the NJC

The man has the same immunity APC people claimed Ganduje has, so, why is he getting a different treatment? Or is this another case of double standard and hypocrisy?

I agree with you, corruption cannot be fought in this country if people like Buhari and his cohorts in the APC government keep making excuses for some, without handing the same excuses to others. The Justice is not even a member of a political party, but he is obviously bearing the wrong name.

With respect ma'am, it was clearly stated in the constitution that the only Nigerians who are exempted from prosecution are the executives ( presidents, and their vice, governors and their deputy )

And I believe corruption can't be wiped out not because of people like Buhari but people like you. People like you who see any move against an allegedly corrupt individual as a move against your tribe, religion, race, state, region, and nation.

I'm so angry at the mentality we have in this country. The leader of the 3 arm of government failed to declare his assets Properly and his excuse was that he "forget", and the next thing we're worried about is that there's an election, he's a southerner, he's a Christian, the charges are political, blabla!

How the F. U.C.K is any of the above reasons got to do with the fact that this judge has corrupt tendencies?

Buhari's government have tried northerners, in fact, many times the amount of southerners. I don't see anywhere where governments are convening meetings about how to stoke up ethnic sentiments among the naive populace!

If I'm this government, the fact that people are getting emotional and sentimental will only make us more determined to remove that man from that position.

The average Nigerian is so flawed character wise. And imagine that it is the same set of barbarians that will not waste time before lynching and maiming and burning their fellow human alive without wondering whether the person is from their village.

We deserve how leaders however they treat us. We deserve them.

DREAMZZZ:
messi has always been compared to maradona and pele.....but ronaldo has always been compared to messi

People who know football knows Ronaldo only compares to Messi in the art of Scoring. Apart from that, he's a boring player.

eyeview:
Chelsea needs to buy strikers and not wingers.
Also why would the coach drop Victor Moses and then cough out so much to buy someone that does exactly the same thing

I see Moses I weak. Moses went to West Ham and stoke on loan and Couldn't nail down a starting spot as a winger, is it at Chelsea he would? If Moses does exactly as Pulisic, then we should expect someone to pay 57 million pounds for him too

I've been clamouring for a right winger for years now. Watching Willian Play football is traumatic. Dude hoof and puff with no sensible contribution after 90 minutes.

I don't know if Pulisic can bench him just yet though, would have preferred we moved heaven and earth for dembele. If hazard stayed, great. If he leaves, we can expect Dembele to step up to the Main man's role.

Pulisic is a good start though. At least, the Guy can actually beat players unlike Willain.

spine:
Mancity is a good fit for him. and im convinced he would get game time barring injuries and loss of form.
Guardiola is of that school of thought.
is it not the same mancity that bernardo silva gets to play and David silva is Lord if he is fit?
Isco would play.
Barca would break the bank to get an Isco.
I agree with you, but id rather put it the other way round...chelsea is not quite the kind of club isco needs now.
he should stay and stake his claim in madrid. moreso in this difficult time
Anyway, you may be right. Chelseas general flair play might have improved greatly under Sarri. but
Theres no comparison between Chelsea and Madrid in terms of flair and results. My apologies
Im sympathetic to both teams. but more of Madrid.

Maybe the league in general is not a good fit for him. But he's a very good player and would prosper in the right team.

Barça would love Isco as you said. Even though they can't get a player like that from Madrid. Even though I don't think Chelsea should sign him, I think it may be the best option for his playing career.

As for Man City, I don't think you he'd enjoy any better game time there than in Madrid. I know Pep likes Isco's talents, but I don't see how he would displace the Players there already.

Debruyne's spots is written in stone. David Silva is in a different league to Isco, at least in that Man city team.

Then comes Bernardo Silva. They are similar type of players but Silva has more in his arsenal.

Isco's main attributes are his dribbling, and outstanding ability to keep the ball. He also scores too and assist sometimes. But Isco doesn't move the ball fast and forward enough. And Isco is not good at attacking spaces, hence, won't be in positions to score.

City always have the ball so don't need a ball keeper. They need people to make things happen with it. Silva is always a very good dribbler who actually moves forward with the ball. He's better combining with players as he's more mobile, and scores and assists regularly better than Isco. And he works extremely hard defensively than Isco. They are both not central midfielders. But as attacking midfielders, I'd take Bernardo Silva over Isco in a heartbeat.

sheylarhh:
Can Kovacic gives clever passes in attacking areas?

He can but not to the level of a proper attacking midfielder. He doesn't create enough chances to be a standard AM. I clearly said Lyon's Fekir would be a great addition as he can score and assist regularly.

But Kovacic should be signed permanently because when we come up against the top teams, Kovacic would be best suited because he works hard and gives us balance in midfield.

spine:
Isco is class, he makes a few mistakes but if you know a quality player you would not follow the mob and be talking inanities about a top class player. Some funny people would mock neymar because of his shenanigans but that doesnt mean his quality as a player is poor
People use the English league to determine who a good player is or isnt.
it isnt always accurate.
The English league is still struggling to re establish themselves as the best league.
The evidence is there to show in the last 5-6 yrs or more
Perhaps this year they can do something.
Being the best organized and the most competitive or highest paying doesnt make you the best from a footballing sense especially when youre not winning the Top Prices in a fair contest. UCL ,EUROPA etc

Anyway enough talk, iscos flair game is better suited to madrid than Chelsea or the english league that does more of physicality.
I hope he remains there as the fans love him for what Some with a different philosophy would criticize him needlessly for.

Isco's flair game will be better suited to Sarri's Chelsea than Madrid. God! Do you watch Chelsea's games this season or you're assuming they still play like previous seasons.

Besides, I don't think he's the kind of player Chelsea needs. Man city are also interested in him. Although I think he's not going to get any game time there.

While I think we need a different type of midfielder to Isco, people saying we have Barkley don't know shit. The type of attacking midfielders Liverpool, City, Spurs and Arsenal have means we are lacking big-time in that department.

Debruyne, The Silvas, Eriksen, Ozil, Pogba, Maya, shaqiri, Keita means Chelsea are joking if they think Barkley is their own answer. An English No10?

Lotus-cheek is already a better player but they can't give clever passes in the attacking areas.

I'd us to sign Kovacic permanently. The perfect attacking midfielder who's going to offer something different to Kovacic would be Nabil Fekir. He's a great passer and scorer.

Chelsea are very stable with the ball. We just need clever players who are going to help create chances with it. What we need next season is A very good winger, a striker, an attacking midfielder while still keeping Kovacic, an a central back. Alonso needs to step up and the coach needs to give Emerson important games to play.

patrickmuf:
Comprehension is a big problem here. He only said when Pogba plays to his potential then he is just about the best in the league and world, there's a clause there that explicitly qualifies him to be the best but no, you guys are already misrepresenting his line of thought.

The clause is almost impossible to consider. Used as a smokescreen to tell us absolute rubbish.

Why don't you remind us when Pogba has actually played to his full potential?
There are a lot of players with the potential to be the best. In England, I can name ten midfielders who are playing better than Pogba, and I can name 5 midfielders who are better players than Pogba. Potential or not,

highcollide:
how many times must I educate you? Because Cahill is a goal scoring defender, does it make him better than rudiger? There are criterias for positions....The primary work of a midfielder is not to score goals....The primary work of the attacker is to score, assist or create chances....hazard doesn't score, hazard just started making assists and creating chances....

The sad thing is, he's already 28....his career will be over by 30.... He's 28 without a single uefa or FIFA award....

Whereas salah won the puskas award this month...



Madrid fans voted for a replacement for ronaldo, nobody voted hazard.....hazard can only dream of Madrid. But they'll never bid for him.

8 champions league goals in his full career? Tufia....

I'm curious to know what you believe is the primary duty of a midfielder. Zidane has 92 assists in 798 apps.
Lampard has 108 assists in 608 PL apps ALONE! So, if we're going to accept any of your criteria to Judge attacking players, why can't you state plainly how we're going to measure Lampard and Zidane's ability? Both midfielders.

So, the World Cup Silver Ball for second best player 2018 and the trophy for being in the FIFA Eleven is what? A CAF award?

Oh, Cahill and Rudiger! Cahill has been a mainstay of Chelsea Defenses that has won CL tittle, epls, FA cups, carling cup, Europa league. What has Rudiger won featuring for a teams defense as a mainstay? This season, his fault or not, the defense is an attack away from conceding a goal or chance. Don't start making comparisons with players who are at the tail end of their careers with rookies who are just starting.



If Hazard doesn't Score, doesn't create chances, and doesn't make assist, what the hell does he do then? What are you going to give him credit for?

I'll leave you with this truth from skysport pundit Paul Merson, an arsenal legend and Fan:

"The first few months of this season he was irresistible, phenomenal," Soccer Saturday pundit Paul Merson tells Sky Sports.

"With that, he set a standard, his own standard. When he's at his best, he's the best of the best. He can beat three players and score a goal, and I don't see a lot of people in the country doing that.

"He's carrying Chelsea. De Bruyne, Sterling et al aren't carrying their team but Hazard can. That first few months of the season, you could argue that he was the best player in world football.

"We've seen him have dips in the past, and he needs that consistency, but if I were to buy one player out of everyone, it would be him"

The Second and last paragraph above says it all. He sets he's own standards in the EPL and he's definitely the league's most outstanding talents.

RTSC:
Stats are not everything.

If that were not the case, players like modric, Iniesta, xavi would not exist.

Help me tell that guy. I've been trying to bait him to venture into another of those stats and let's see if any of those players would still compare to Hazard.

highcollide:
They're both midfielders and not attackers.....receive wisdom.

That's all you have to say? That they are both midfielders! And you think I don't know they're both midfielders.

So comparing players with goals scored only as you have been doing is only valid when they are attackers abi? Since goals is so important, why can't we say Lampard is a better player than zidane? What's unfavorable about such comparison because it seems fair to me. Afterall, Lampard and Zidane are both midfielders.

highcollide:
There's nothing to prove. Hazard is a good player but as rated as you Chelsea fans claim. Griezmann, neymar, Sanchez all have had better career and have won more trophies than him.

Last year alone, mbappe won 4 club trophies and the world cup. If you claim hazard is better than salah because salah didn't win any trophy, even though FIFA ranked salah ahead of hazard, then we can claim mbappe is better than hazard because he won more trophies.

You Chelsea fans should watch other leagues. You stick to only your match and make noise....

I gave you the opportunity to explain how all THESE players are better footballers than Hazard and yet, you choose to be on the defensive!

Forget about what other people had said already. WHAT QUALITIES MAKE THEM BETTER THAN HAZARD IN YOUR OPINION! That's only how we can focus on the issues I think.

highcollide:
proven what class? His stats are very poor? Hazard has never scored over 17 league goals in one full season.....Suarez scored more than 30, salah scored more than 30, Kane scored more than 30, neymare scored more than 30... Asides the dribbles, How is hazard class?

According to this guy, Lampard is a better player than zidane because he scored more career goals.

highcollide:
I expected one Chelsea fan to expose his ignorance.

Now, giroud won the world cup and fa cup. Harry Kane won nothing....who is the better striker?


Chelsea won all these trophies? Will all the players use axe and divide the trophies and take their parts home?

Listen boy, individual awards are more important to players than trophies..... Harry Kane will not trade his world cup golden boot for any trophy. Salah won over 30 individual awards last season. In the next 20 years, the awards will be in his house. But will the FA cup be in hazards house next year? No...why because they belong to the club....and nor hazard.


So, little man, next time you compare players, you don't compare them with trophies but individual performances....mbappe won 5 trophies last season. Does it make him better than hazard?


Receive wisdom and education today.

I'd love you to educate us. Give us reasons why you think any of those players is better than Hazard!

Just finished watching the third season of travelers its an awesome series

Currently watching salvation it's very intriguing I must say

Travelers is out? Mhen!!!!

Mindhunters! Where art thou?

spookem:
The series is below average, stopped watching at episode 3.

Well, most reviews, both on here and otherwise are generally favourable.

A Discovery of Witches

I've had this series for quite some time now, I was hooked in 5 minutes .

I've seen 4 episodes so far and it has already exceeded my high expectations.

It has that Kinda Twilight vibe to it. This is really how to tell a supernatural story, with class and swagger! Overall, I find it to be a very enjoyable film.

* Only CONS *

Apparently, it's only 8 episodes of roughly 42 minutes.
WTF moment for me

My big surprise series of the year is McMafia. It's probably 3 times better than it is perceived to be

Guys

Pogba uploaded this since deleted picture on Twitter a few minutes ago.

Like For Mourinho To Madrid. Share For Zidane To Man U

As a non United fan. I'd like for Man U to appoint Zidane. I think he would be :oexposed

jaxxy:
Those statistics got nothing on Mourinho. Conte is not worthy to tie Mourinho shoe lace.

You see, in football, your reputation and the 'now' gets you around. Mourinho surely has terrific CV, which helps his reputation. But his habitual Win-disaster cycle is also part of his reputation. Few clubs would want Mourinho after this.

Conte even hard the luxury of turning down Real Madrid before Julen's appointment. Mourinho is no longer the beautiful bride that he once was.

I don't see the Club that will want him after Man united. Definitely no English Clubs. Not Barca, Not Bayern. Not Dortmund. Perhaps Inter or PSG. Then where next?

His options at the Top is getting smaller by the year.
At this point, Even Pochettino who has not won anything would be desired by any club in the world if he resides to leave Spurs.

Now Mourinho's is gone... Who's going to pack double decker submarine's in front of goal?

Olamsoh:
Jurgen Klopp loves to get Jose Mourinho sacked.

• Dortmund 4-1 Madrid (JOSE OUT)

• Liverpool 3-1 Chelsea (JOSE OUT)

• Liverpool 3-1 United (JOSE OUT)

Mr. Jürgen Norber Klopp.

17th December 2015 - Sacked by Chelsea.

18th December 2018 - Sacked by Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho - ‘The Sacked One.’

Manchester United averaged 1.62 goals per game in the Premier League under Jose Mourinho, less than they did under David Moyes (1.65). Chosen.

I don't know about the other dates but Klopp sure as hell didn't nail Mourinho during his 2nd Chelsea coming. Claudio Ranieri did with goals from vardy and Mahrez.

As a neutral in this case. I'm really really disappointed by this news of Mourinho's sacking. I don't have anything to say really

Parollawd:
At mourinho first season at Chelsea he was so humble and had a team that could die for him.. Then when he started winning trophies he called himself special one and started to have foolish mentality and philosophies


As hazard nice reach he get issues with mourinho.. He even blamed and criticized a medical staff for treating a player... Isn't he a mad man


Is that your fav coach?
He disgusts me

Thank you!

Hazard's case still baffles me. One of the nicest players on and off the pitch you could find. He doesn't complain when defenders manhandles him. If you listens to his interviews, you could judge the kind of character he has.

Mourinho would fall out with any body that's the fact. He's such an annoying and divisive figure.

Didi2d:
I will say it again, I still blame all this clubs supporting players instead of coaches

Mourinho has always fall out with one or more persons at every club he has been to except maybe Inter and Porto. Any club who would back him over their players is naïve.
