tonididdy: Heatwave gini?...not here in benincity.its just a normal weather like everyother year.its always being sunny and hot;you and your scientists are just seeing and assuming things...

kinguwem: The mentality of nigerians is discouraging. If the patients were stable why were they flown to Germany? There is need to upgrade our hospitals. If the Yola Specialist Hospital & the Federal Medical Centre, Yola were not functional perhaps the trip to Germany may not have been possible. This is an eye opener to all our leaders. If you do good, you do it for yourself.


Thank you! Am still waiting for the day we will learn from all this bullshit we get everytime! Until then, we will remain stagnant.

Idokojimmy: THE National Judicial Council (NJC), at its meeting on Thursday last week, resolved on early retirement with full benefits for the embattled president of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami, as a way out of the logjam over his career, Nigerian Tribune can exclusively inform.
Five months after the council had pardoned him for misconduct that got him suspended, multi-dimensional litigation, including his own, had stalled his resumption in office.

Salami, it will be recalled, had been out of office for 14 months and was due for retirement on October 14, 2013.
A reliable source told the Nigerian Tribune that discussion on his professional future at the council meeting was passionate, with a member from the South reportedly making an appeal for over 30 minutes for his resumption in office before the early retirement, in order to save his career.
Though other members were reportedly moved by the presentation, the suggestion that Salami be restored to office for three months before tendering his retirement notice was said to be rejected, due to pending cases which a source said had made the issue complicated.

The complex nature of the matter was also the reason given by the former chairman of the council and immediate past Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Dahiru Musdapher, in failing to restore Salami to office.

After the consideration of the options open to the council in resolving the lingering issue, it was said that members unanimously agreed that he should retire early with all his benefits paid.

However, the early retirement option by the council was reportedly dependent on the disposition of Salami to the idea, which he had reportedly rejected once.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mariam Mukthar, who is the council chairman, was reportedly mandated by the council to communicate the idea to Salami, in company with the council’s deputy chairman, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, a reason for the meeting of Friday in Mukthar’s office.

A source privy to the meeting said Salami did not give any definite response on the acceptance or otherwise of the option.

In another development, a source revealed to the Nigerian Tribune that contrary to the belief that President Goodluck Jonathan had not responded to the resolution of the council, reinstating Salami, the president had reportedly written the council, informing that he had actually taken steps on the earlier resolution asking him to retire Salami for misconduct.

It was further learnt that the president said the earlier decision of the council had been carried with the appointment of the acting president, Dalhatu Adamu, reportedly adding that the second leg of the council’s resolution, which is to ask the Senate to compulsorily retire Salami and nominate a replacement, was stalled due to the pendency of the suits on the issue.

Meanwhile, feelers from the council meeting showed that Justice Bola Ojo of the Osun State High Court is set to emerge as the next chief judge of the state.

It was learnt that with the decision of the council and the position of its chairman that the bench is a career-progression calling, strict seniority would be applied in choosing heads of courts, especially for those in the mainstream, like Ojo.

A source disclosed that though Ojo and Justice Gloria Ladoke; president of the Customary Court of Appeal, were appointed same day and the latter was called to the Bar before the former, Ojo would be considered the most senior in the state, by virtue of being in the mainstream and signing the register ahead of Ladoke during their appointment to the Bench.
