Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun
Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the judge who read the January 14, 2020 Supreme Court judgment in the disputed Imo governorship election has been denied visa to the United States, a document sighted by DAILY INDEPENDENT has revealed.

It will be recalled that a seven-man panel of the Supreme Court led by former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Ibrahim Muhammad Tanko had nullified the governorship election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the rightful winner of the exercise.

The court also ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Ihedioha and give a fresh one to Uzodimma who was then sworn in as the sixth governor of Imo State on January 15 2020

In the rejected letter to Justice Kekere-Ekun which was signed by Jay M. Sorensen, American Consular officer at Abuja, the US authorities said she was denied visa based on “sanctioned activities”.

Former Cross River Governor, Donald Duke had on Wednesday said the US authorities rejected the visa application of some judges who were planning to attend a Judges Conference in the United States.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, I pray Peter Obi never becomes president. The reasons why igbos are promoting Obi presidency is for him to win and release Nnamdi Kanu. It will never happen in Jesus name. Instead of releasing that monster trying to divide our United Nigeria, it's better we choose between PDP or APC because the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable

Swear on your life with the name of GOD that you are a born again christian or remain shut for ever

NEWSJustices who declared third-runner up winner refused US visas – Donald DukePublished on February 16, 2023By Wale Odunsi

Former Cross River Governor, Donald Duke on Wednesday said the United States government has sanctioned some Justices in Nigeria.

Duke made the comment in Lagos at the launch of a memoir of retired Justice Charles Archibong. He served on the bench of the Federal High Court from 2002 to 2013.

The politician told the gathering that America slammed a visa ban on the Justices who delivered a verdict that made “a candidate who came fourth the winner of an election”.


Duke said their application to attend a Judges’ Conference in the U.S. were rejected, though their aides were given visas.

Legal luminary Olisa Agbakoka observed that the National Judicial Council, NJC, is controlled by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, who appoints 50 of its 60 members.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said the conditions of service of the judiciary are terrible, a situation that could make officials vulnerable.

“We should not put our judges in a position where they can be tempted,” Agbakoba warned in his remarks.

A former member of the House of Representatives, Abdul Oroh, while sharing his experience when he served on the Judiciary Committee, said some SANs are responsible for corrupting judges.

Duke’s information brings to mind the Supreme Court’s declaration of Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as winner of the 2019 governorship election in Imo after finishing as third-runner up.

The judgement, which removed Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as Governor was delivered on January 14 2020 by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun.

The panel included Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, Justice Nwali Sylvester Ngwuta, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, Justice Amiru Sanusi, Justice Amina Adamu Augie and Justice Uwani Musa Abba Aji.

The ruling created tension among supporters of Uzodinma and Ihedioha. The ousted governor, at some point, stayed away from the State, citing disturbing security reports.

Three weeks ago, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced visa restrictions on some unnamed citizens, reiterating U.S. commitment to advancing democracy.

“Today, I am announcing visa restrictions on specific individuals in Nigeria for undermining the democratic process in a recent Nigerian election,” Blinken said.

Under Section 212(a)(3)C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the individuals and certain family members will be found ineligible for visas to America.

Exactly, he's being tongue in cheek about it, in case he's feeling that he's talking to olodos, then let's inform him that Dollar was changed last year, those criminal looters then converted their dollars that were below 2021, to naira, using the abokis bereau de change, that was how emefiele knew that almost all their monies were now in naira, triggering the naira redesign, CBN got them for six one.
Whenever they want to lie, they write all this long meaningless article full of lies and useless unsolicited advice, agbado urtchins

​4. In the last quarter of 2022, I authorised the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to redesign the N200, N500, and N1000 Nigerian banknotes.


I hope all the agbado Hutchins and followers of the drug Lord can see this or maybe they have suddenly gone blind, every day emefiele this emefiele that, emefiele is just an ordinary surbodinate to buhari, cowards can't face their masters, useless touts

They shouldn't worry, they can go and deposit the money at the central bank of zamfara, Kano and Lagos, operated for urchins by thief nude, Hell ruffian and Gang dollars, nonsense

Obiscam at it again...Every zombidients should hurry up and download the application and the proceeds from the downloads go to the fraudster. By the time the scammer finished doing business with your brains you will all know what's up.

.
Okay oo!!! I've never seen this kind of thing before, you said obidients are scammed, yet obidients, are happy, as you can see in the second picture, while you that have not been scammed have filled the whole thread with your tears of frustrations, as everyone can see in the first picture, what an irony, kpeleoo!!!

TakeNigeriaBack:
peter obi is a vatican (catholic church) agenda. Most of the polls that are favorable to peter obi are done by foreign (western) media. The catholic church has a huge influence in the west (reason why the molestation of children by the catholic church was largely swept under the carpet). The reason they are ginning up peter obi's poll numbers even though he has no path to electoral victory is because the vatican intend to rig the election for peter obi by hacking inec's bvas system. That way, the same media will bamboozle the population by saying its not rigging since many polls show peter obi winning before the election.

INEC IS GOING TO BE HACKED. MARK MY WORDS. YOUR HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Something more useless than what you wrote up here has never been written
Congrats as the winner of the most stupid and useless comment ever made by an urchin
By this stupid logic, if labour truly wins tommorow, this urchin will come out and say, I told you so, Catholic Church have rigged it, what a load of crap, tueh

adecz:
Problem with supporters of Obi is
that they are too desperately intolerant
of any views contrary to their fanatica
support for Obi. There is therefore no
much psychological difference between
them and Boko haram...

Maybe it's because a majority of the
followers are ibos, who we generally
agree, lack much education therefore
are unable to make intellectual contribution,
but prefer vawulence which doesn't
need much brain works.. 🤔🤔🤔

I thought the op was a batist, why are you focusing on obidients, who are only reacting to the op's drisive attack on psquare, people have forgotten about the beef between the celebs, why the ethnically bigoted op went and dug it up can only be explained by an urchin with a bitter batist enslaved soul, ah!!! As is your usual mode, you have already linked ibos, the blessed people that are living rent free in your head, what a frustrated life

Parachoko:
There is no time in history Turkey was a Christian Country

Turkey was formally Constantinople, a city formed by Constantine, the first christian emperor, it was the invasion of a part of the country by Muslim turkmen just like Muslim uthman danfodio invaded sokoto, formally gobir, the country, Constantinople gradually turned to a nation named turkey, that is over 80% Muslim

pdppower:
I bet these are also Tinubu urchins imported from Lagos. Ndi ara Ipobians

Nope this is how east treat urchins, if it's Lagos, innocent citizen, will be locked up instead of the urchins.

Hahaha, expected!!! Meanwhile this information reached labour two months ago and he was replaced, reason why he didn't take part in the planning of labour Lagos rally, even though he was around, he only heard about the rally like others and after venting his anger on surbodinates, he was quietly shown evidence of his anti party activities and he quietly and shamefacedly walked out.

Firstly, try to find out the elders that were witnesses when the land was shared by your grand father, find the ones that are still alive and get adequate information on the boundaries, then survey the land and get government backings on it, another alternative is to mould block and start demarketing the land, don't go to juju, it's worthless and a scam, but try to intimidate him by pretending you are fortified, like they do in movies, people who do juju fear juju too much, start behaving as if you are one bad ass rascal, stage your impenetrability with friends he doesn't know, make sure he witnessed it and then Chase those guys away, he will run from you and leave you a d your land alone, the world is game for those who know how to play it, everything is a show, how you make it look real determines how successful you'll be in this game called life.

JealousCobra:


Can anyone prescribe drug that can control HBP😁🤣🤣

My urchin niegbour is in dire need of it! 😀

I'm an expert in hbp drug prescription
Give your urchin neighbhor, (sniper dinopril) it is the best drug for hbp, side effect is death and for the senselessness of that urchin, give him sensyline eye drops, side effect is total blindness, but don't worry it's better to be blind and have sense than to have eyes that are stupid, ah!! Who de drag me, lemme I never finish.....

Gbagura:
Your fathers said even worst to the northerners until they started killing ibos like fowls on the streets which led to the war. You can't win against Yoruba in Lagos. The dire consequences will be too much for you to handle. Dey Twitter dey beat your chest and why kasala burst, you sabi claim victims.

Shut up, his fathers wanted peace but were massacred since 1947 to the 50s and 60s, without them retaliating, the late 60s witnessed their first uprising, the war ended in 70 but the battle is still on, you taught them well and turned a peacelike people to warriors, their children has none of the humble docility and peaceful nature of their fathers that you exploited in the past, from 2001 when they decided to start retaliating every killings with an eye for eye, you now used goverment backed security agencies to shovel your Will on them, some of them have learnt and are giving you what you give them, so shove your sermon backup your ass, it was when you killed their fathers that you turned the children to exactly what you are, so live with it, they are the product of your past hatred and crime, scowling your face as your did below won't change it

Owontime:
Delusion, imagine someone calling themselves rich while their people are selling pure water and bread and doing crime in those states they call poor, this shows how stupid and delusional IPOB people are. If you're that rich why don't you develop your zone and live there instead of living where you will be slaughtered like cows when a minor religious or tribal war starts?
Unfortunately Emeka, the IPOB tribe is the poorest and the most useless tribe in Nigeria.
IPOB people have no sense at all,IPOBLAND is a complete shithole while some fools are here on Nairaland calling themselves rich

Village champion, travel and see, you no gree, na to stay inside,your village compound de yarn dust, mofo, statistics produced by relevant bodies said the East is least affected by poverty, it doesn't mean the east have no poor people, the ibos you attacked never put out any statistics about themselves, why you mentioned them in your vitriol surprised me, I believe the problem is that the ibos are living rent free in you head, anyway, douse your anger for the ibos with bottled water.

Hopium:
Oga leave story.

It's the truth.

Truth indeed, everything that happened in the Eastern part of this country was reactionary, those people have never been dosile, and it has protected them, in 1947 when they started receiving it from people that believed the owned Nigeria, the easterners never backed down, in the 70ties their elders had to be called upon to stop their youths from killing Nigerian soldiers that had invaded their forest because of Nigerian cilvil war, even when, no victory no vanquished had been declared, those easterners will never back down for any clown claiming born to rule, they have cowed the christian north and some westerners, but as always, the east will Never back down, Know this and know peace, theirs nothing superior about any tribe or specie of people, it's all about the mind, half of the east believe in Biafra, the rest believe in Nigeria, it has always been like that from the beginning, not all westerners believe in one Nigeria, including tinubu who said specifically that he doesn't believe in one Nigeria, it's the right of every individual to believe in Nigeria or not, nobody should be prosecuted for that, sending python dance to peaceful protesters produced esn and unknown gunmen not ipob, whenever peaceful change is made impossible, violent change becomes inevitable, if it's the fault of ipob, then what produced, bokoharam, iswap, Fulani herdsmen, unknown gunmen and bandits in the north since they don't have ipob, what produced, OPC, amotekun, Sunday igboho /oduduwa nation agitators in the west, it's the same injustice and government backed violence on the people that is general to all this areas that produced this groups, not ipob, when you continually point in the wrong direction to solve a problem, it will continue to multiply, when these mofos took over, it was only Boko Haram, today, while you continually point in the wrong direction as truth it has multiplied to esn, unknown gunmen (north and south) bandits, iswap....etc

Hopium:
Pandora don jam agbako.

The little SE votes wey dey give am hope don enter voicemail.

It's funny how a collective can be so visionless, tactless, clueless, and self-destructive. When you were drumming for biafra, esn, mazi kanu, and supporting unknown gunmen, you never envisioned that a day like this would come. You m0rons always talk about how pandora's emergence was a surprise to the political elites re: Asiwaju and mikano; the ugly truth you never/would never have the balls to accept is that pandora's emergence was a surprise to you people. You never thought you will have a son of the soil contesting this election. You didn't foresee a peaceful and violence-free se being the foundation of your region's success at the poll. The f0ol in far away finland don dare una make you come out come vote obi in your papa land . No wonder you people ran kabakaba like headless chicken to lasgidi to cast vote, while forgetting to transfer your pvc from your erosion-infested states.

The baby python you allowed and fed to spite jubrin of sudan has now grown and ready to devour you.

Even if ekpa doesn't have the balls to carry out his threats, i'm 100% certain there're political elements ready to utilize the opportunity he (ekpa) gave them on a platter. Una go see wotowoto.

Someone said cutting off people's head in that cursed land is like handshake Una heads go fly left, right, and center on election if you dare come out to vote. ekpa ni oko iya won!

On that kwankwaso thread, i read some mumu talking about how they are better and well enlightened than the traders in kano and sabo because of they have smartphones and social media. Smartphone isonu! no be on top social media una dey drum support for kanu, esn, and ipob? you're enlightened indeed.

I've said it times without number that this election will teach many of una political lessons. sadly, you won't learn shi shi. the average trader in sabo market is 10x better and knowledgeable in national politics than the average igbo man or woman - you can take that to the bank. In 2023, with una smartphone, twitter, IG etal, it didn't stop you from turning your land to an abattoir. No be on top this same sm ekpa dey threaten una?

Did you even ask yourself why the army has reduced their activities in the se for the past 6 months? no be 1 or 2 years ago dem roll tanks and helicopters, fighter jets dey fire esn wotowoto for inside se jungles? have you stopped to think why they've reduced activities the past 6 months even though una unknown gunmen dey burn inec and police infrastructures?

This thing you regurgitated from your inner entrails over a tribe that doesn't know you exist, showed that you are hurt deeply over the ibos, even your tears can be seen all over your Lamentations, and the bitter and uncomfortable truth is that, theirs nothing your gonna do about it, what a pathetic life, enjoy your frustrations, the scowl on your face in this picture below will unfortunately be permanent, until you decide to free your self from Ibo hate

Owontime:
Until you realize that no Nigerian will vote for a Yeeeeeebo man you will continue to make a fool of yourself like you just did.

In 2014, I was in service in the north, I warned them as much as I can not to vote bubu, but they refused, some of my northern and Western colleagues even told me point blank that they are voting buhari to deal with ibos specifically, they were bragging that the economy of the ibos will be dealt with, these were supposedly educated people for that matter, fast forward to today, the ibos are the least affected by buhari's incompetence, they have the least number of poor people in Nigeria today, makes me to wonder how foolish humans can be.

A write up from a pained obidati that was disappointed where woke pitch his Tents . 25 is near . Every fake Nigerians in the name of Igbo presidency will Cron back to their Sheal .

The picture you displayed showed a little angel whose heart is at peace like all obidients, here is the picture used to represent all batist, because they see things upside down, enyoy the pic

ScamHunter:
I knew the Rivers state governor won't go far the day he said he's not Igbo but Bini. What was even amusing was that the Oba of Bini's palace came up to refute the Bini claim which many Ikwere have used to avoid persecution and marginalization of Igbo in the Nigerian state.

To make matters worse, Wike even had presidential ambition. He actually showed his dullness by isolating himself from Igbo, the largest voting bloc south of the Niger. Wike didn't learn from more experienced Ikwere politicians who never deny their Igboness whenever the elections draw near. Just look at Amaechi, as cunning as he is, he wouldn't alienate Igbo voters even if Igbos have traditionally exhibited apathy towards Nigerian elections.

It got worse for Wike after he lost the primaries. Why? The Atiku he pegged his hopes on for vice presidential position made it clear that he would always use an Igbo as a running mate. Remember that Wike is Bini, albeit a disowned one by the Binis. So Atiku went for an Igbo from Delta instead of a Bini from Rivers. Are you seeing the pattern now?

1) Wike doesn't know his roots. He is neither Igbo nor Bini.

2) Wike isn't Igbo, but he wanted to fill shoes (VP) meant for an Igbo.

3) Wike started fighting Atiku, but he needed some Igbos (Ugwuanyi and co) to help him in his fight against Atiku.

4) Wike decided to decamp mentally to another party but he won't support an Igbo since he's not Igbo. He's Bini so he was to support who Binis support, but alas Bini are supoorting Igbo. Wike became confused. His supposed root is supporting Peter Obi, an Igbo.

5) Wike was left in a quandary with the realization that he like a bat is neither an animal nor a bird, neither Igbo nor Bini. So Wike was left with no other option than to go for the only option left: support a BAT like him. After all, BATs have no roots, no ancestry.

Now I know their are wise and intelligent people on nairaland, you are spot on, you spoke beyond your age, you must be an obidient, only obidients display this kind of discernment in thought.

That last picture, nsibidim was used to indicate the different acronyms of the war God protecting the warriors

Guy chill, revenge by Nigerians on extremely racist Indians sweet me die, their are good indians ofcourse, my uncle told me he nearly made it to prison, when he relied on their dubious racist Indians adverts and was duped in those early 90s, lots of Nigerians fell victim to their love spell, do as I say and money doubling dubious scams, and did Nigerians learn well, your guess is as good as mine, especially for some indians that are racist, my face for them be like

Okoros are dreamers.

1. I want to become a trillionaire in 2 years... him go carry cocaine.

2. I want to become an oil magnate in 6 months... she go carry p*ssy enter Olosho business.

3. Peter Obi wants to become President. Leave his terrible record as Governor and how Anambra is a pit latrine. Its with Labour Party

Look at yourself, everything you are putting on including what you furnished your house with, your cars and buildings, even the job that gives your daily bread and all your achievements are all product of dreams and ambition, not every dreams come true, but the worst regrets you'll have when you're old is not trying out your dream ambitions, no matter how unartenable an ambition is, try it out, you could surprisingly succeed, all the people that invented what we used today were all castigated and derided, including Elon musk, but they ignored all the naysayers and pursued their dreams, until they succeeded, after all, man is just a vehicle that God uses atimes to fulfill certain works, so unchain your mind and embrace freedom

N3TRAL:
The drug story is not totally true. The United States does not spare drug traffickers. They go to jail.

Elite musicians / rappers like Kodak Black, DMX, Wiz Khalifa that have millions of followers have been jailed for being in possession of drugs. How on Earth will America bargain with a "millionaire drug dealer" who "distributes opium to their population"? If forfeiture was for drug dealers El Chapo, Pablo etc would drop a billion dollars to be free.


Tinubu was never a drug dealer. As a lawyer with experience in Judicial systems who has actually read the files that were made public, I explained in simple terms what happened in the case.

The forfeiture had nothing to do with Tinubu dealing on or trafficking drugs except you just want to blackmail him or you've been brainwashed to hate him.
See what happened on the Link below

https://www.nairaland.com/7426030/tinubus-drug-case-simple-explanation

More stupidity is needed to defend,forfeiture of $460000 to the US authorities on a drug related bagman case, so add more, the amount you are using is too small, add more. SMH,
Why am I not surprised, your a criminal lawyer, so you are doing your job, defending a criminal, the funny thing is that tinubu, who you claim is not a criminal, has the highest no of criminal lawyers working for him than any other Nigerian, hahaha!!! Anyway continue defending him, who knows if we join APC and our brains are ritually removed and replaced with tinubu's poo, we might start accepting your lies, below are some tinubu lies, get high on it like other urchins.

Urchins and upside down thinking is like five and six, so obi had 75,000000000 even when nobody cares or was even monitoring or would even had bothered to ask, infact the 75,000000000 was there for the taken, but obi wasn't budged, then according to your agbado brain, which APC had already filled with tinubu's poo, obi saw 250,000000 which is 300 times, for emphasis 300 times less than 75,000000000, he then suddenly gets the urge to start stealing, agbado brain is a wonder, I wrote the figures deliberately to see whether an agbado brain can be joggled enough to reason like a human being, instead of a bat, but I don't think anything can touch the stupidity of an agbado brain, if you telll an agbado brain that dangote, who is in charge of cement in Nigeria stole one, one!!! bag of cement, he'll believe you, because, his brain can't reason, everything is viewed upside down, anyway, may urchins stupidity continue to increase in Jesus name,, amen

Putinofrussia:
He created the land where Eko Atlantic was built by reclaiming the land which all former governors did not have ideas about..

In the beginning Lagos was without form and void, the spirit of tinubu came and created the land....

3 DEMAGOGUES THAT DETAILED AND DESTROYED NIGERIA



once upon a time, their was heavy flooding in the land of animals, the scorpion can't swim, and therefore begged the frog to ferry him to higher ground, the frog refused, citing the fact that the scorpion is notorious for stinging both friends and foes to death, the scorpion in desperation swore to the frog that he will never sting him, he then made the frog to realize that his sting will result in their collective death, since both of them will drown, so the frog agreed and decided to ferry the scorpion across the flood, when the were almost close to the ground, the scorpion unleashed a violent sting on the frog, the helpless frog shouted in pain and while drowning, he questioned the scorpion on the reason he went back on his word, the scorpion answered, you know this is my nature, I'll rather die than live without stinging, so both of them drowned, end of the story
Fellow Nigerians, a Fulani bigot met a criminal south west politician to help him access the position of the president, but the politician told the bigot that he is known for religious and tribal bigotry, but the bigot told the criminal that he is now a renewed man, so the politician had an agreement with the bigot, that immediately the bigot finished his tenure, it will be the turn of the criminal politician, so he helped the bigot, ferrying the bigot on lies and propaganda against the ruling president, until the people were deceived, and the bigot succeeded, and became president, both continued to use lies and propaganda to loot the people to poverty, until they were reaching the end of the bigot's tenure, then the bigot unleashed a violent form of bigotry, switching his support from the criminal politician to his Fulani brother, the criminal questioned the bigot on why he betrayed him, and the bigot answered saying, you know bigotry is my nature, I'll rather fail than succeed without bigotry, now the bigot has decided to change the currency to give advantage to his Fulani brother, the criminal politician have decided that he will hoard any money that comes out of the central bank, while this fight is on the grass, representing the masses suffer
