isthatso:


He swore an affidavit before a notary public but the notary public was not named...therefore legally that Affidavit is null and void.

Secondly the law says it is only the person who issued a certificate that can change the particulars of that certificate, so in any event the affidavit even if it were a valid document would have no legal consequence.

Which law stated that? The Constitution?

Iamgrey5:
Actually this further proves the judgment was very political


There's no evidence the certificates were
forged


No one came forward that the other names belonged to them


Forgery is a serious criminal case that needs to be proved beyond reasonable doubt.

It is shocking that an originating summons was used to determine a fraudulent presentation of information. Besides Nigerians hardly cconcern themselves with how they arrange their names. There was a string of consistency in his name, the arrangement was scattered, accepted, but that does not mean it was fraudulent.

The Honest truth is okada and keke business kept a lot of Nigerians LAZY...

Now people are growing up with ambition of riding okada/keke.

People are leaving Vocational skill aquisition for keke and okada riding..

When a carpenter quits to riding okada
When a tiler quits to riding okada
When a plumber quits to riding keke..
Mechanics quiting to ride okada..

It destroys the future.

I think you ought to blame the underlying economic forces at work. Maybe vocational skills don't pay as much as before or that the skills are not meeting the most basic needs people have. Invariably people migrate to greener fields.

There is also the ingenious judicial law making. Law making by interpretation and filling up the gaps the legislature didn't see but which public paulse dictates.

You had said all!a true love is rooted in sacrifice, love is not about you,it's about how to please your lover. The fact that you are seeking for a true love signified that you are selfish. What about you try to proof how much you love somebody?.1 cor 13 said it all look for those qualities both in yourself and your partner.

I don't think that's what he meant. He definitely didn't say true love is in sacrifice rather there is a shift in value to finding responsible people who look beyond uphoria of true love for the greater good and achievement marriage can offer.

OladimejiRufai:
Well, I have an advice for you my boy @OP

From this moment, stop looking for true love

I'm not implying that you cannot find it but stop looking for it.

Rather start looking for a lady who is psychologically wired to always do the right thing and has a very advanced understanding of life.

See, in most cases, love is transient.

Sometimes, people fall in love because they fell into a moment where they perceived something that touched their heart from the other person. And then moments later, they find out that the feelings are lost.

sometimes, people fall in love because there's constant communication or commitment between both persons and they are just lost in the fun of it and think they are in love. If something happens that distracts one of them from achieving the constant communication or commitment to the other person, they find that they lose the love gradually.

sometimes, people's love for another person is usually connected to some features of that person that fascinates them or blows them away.

"oh, the guy is funny." "the girl is intelligent" "the guy is charming" "the girl is georgous" e.t.c and they continue to fall in love so far these qualities are present. But what happens when they lose those qualities or those qualities gradually fade away? that's how the love will also be lost or will gradually fade away.

So in most cases, love is transient. This is proven by the many broken relationships where you hear from both sides that they have fallen out of love.

So if a person were to enter a marriage because of love, he or she is likely to be no more interested in the marriage eventually and may crave attention or love elsewhere and may want to break up the marriage.

That's the reason why I said you should look for someone with a larger and better understanding of life and who is psychologically wired to do the right thing.

this is because when it gets to the stage in a marriage where both spouses have fallen out of love, for people who do not fulfil the said criteria (no understanding of life or being wired to do the right thing), they would want to break up or would start seeking love elsewhere and they many end up cheating etc.

But for someone who fulfils that criteria;

- someone who understands that this life is not a bed of roses and it is not everything you want that you get;

- someone who understands that the purpose of marriage is not necessarily to love rather it is to show care, support each other, become responsible, help each other achieve desired goals and for mankind to multiply (procreation);

- someone who understands that there is time for everything and there are some certain pleasures that should not be sought at all stages of life or the pleasures should be limited at some point in time (imagine a 45 year old woman complaining that her husband doesn't take her out for shopping or so like he used to when she was still 25 when she should be more concerned about caring for the kids that she didn't have then but have now and focus on making them successful in life)

- someone who understands that this life itself is a place of trials and there'll always be sour times or times when you would have to forgo your heart desires for the right thing to be done;

- someone who understands that the pleasures of the hereafter are far greater than those of this life and is more concerned about that and because of that, he or she gives up some pleasures in this world just for the right thing to be done.

- someone who has values, who understands cheating is bad, who understands that it is an evil thing to extort or deceive a partner for personal gains, who knows how to control anger and doesn't expect perfection from the other partner, who understands that for a marriage to work, both sides must be committed to it, who understands that deceiving a partner and extorting him should not be the measure by which you "make it in life", and who is psychologically wired to follow all those values;

So for someone who has a better understanding of life and is wired to do the right thing, such are the people who stay in a marriage when there's no more "love" or when they have fallen out of love and continue to try everything to make it work till the end.

So this is what you should be looking for, for "true love" Is scarce.

If eventually you are able to find true love in a partner that fulfils the above criteria, then consider it a plus, consider it a blessing and thank God for it.

My piece!

Flesh and blood could not have revealed this to you. But the hard lessons from the matrimonial experience. Very thoughtful.

A persistent problem is obvious here: the federal government has so many commitments across the federation that it can not meet up with its resources. The states need to be empowered to take up some of these responsibilities.

While the FG invests in rail and shipping infrastructure the states can do likewise with roads.

The bank charges discussed here are not exhaustive. Let us know what you think as you make comments.

Bank charges on cash, POS and cheques might even be better for a cashless policy because it could trigger a shift away from the banking system to fin-tech platforms like e-currencies. I learnt tencent and Alibaba have payment platforms that render bank accounts redundant.

The criminal attacks on Nigerians and the SA govt inability to put a check to it.

So basically it is a failure of a government to provide security which is a familiar story in Nigeria. Our government has it difficult to provide Nigerians with the security they need from external and internal threats. So why blame SA businesses in Nigeria especially when they are beneficial to the economy in terms of providing jobs and services?

Ijaya123:
My suggestion...

In retaliation to all these senseless and horrific attacks on Nigerian citizens in South Africa, I suggest this government should expel the SA High Commission team in Nigeria with immediate effect. I disagree with recalling our envoy over there. We need someone to keep an eye on activities over there. I stand to be corrected though.

This should be followed up by a call to CAF to suspend SA Football Association from all CAf organised competitions since the country has shown it is incapable of guaranteein the safety of other African countries involved in their land.

The government should as well use its position to lobby other African countries to call for the indefinite suspension of SA from the African Union having failed to uphold one of the values of the union.

These are just a few among many options available so we can teach those animals some hard lessons they wont forget in a while.

Is your problem with the SA govt state sponsored xenophobia or criminal attacks on Nigerians?

Iranian oil tanker was seized and Iran seized British ship also and in the end the Iranian oil tanker has been released.
Tit for tat.
Lets see if it will work in this case.

But after you seize the Bonga or any UK asset within Nigeria, do not expect foreign investment to pour in like a reservoir in a broken dam. The courts in the UK are independent and the govt did not argue any illegality in the making of its contract with the Irish firm.

Yes everyone would love to live there until they get there and find out it is a mirage. The biggest shame will be leaving there without achieving anything. That's the shame over one million Nigerians are living with in America. They can't come back because they are stuck. If you ask Americans to pay cash for their cars 99% of them won't be able to afford it. Americans are broke and miserable and 95% of them will die in debt. If in 2019 Nigerians don't know an average Nigerian is richer than a middle class American then they are the dumbest donkey on earth

Do you compare the lower class in the US with that in Nigeria where people can barely afford the basics and are without disposable income.

Bluntemperor:
Afe-Babalola,has said it all and that 1999 Constitution is a fraudulent document that declared 'we the People of Nigeria' .There is nothing like that as the people of the Region s never sat down on this document as many Lawyers have raised similar concern in the past.what happened then was General Abubakar was the Army appointed to see that June 12 died and to do it well,Obasanjo was forced on S/West to bring sanity and unite Nigeria.Today,how many Security Personnel are heads by the Regions leaders when the Constitution specifically said so!.Today,there can never be a State Creation because a lot of lacuna are hidden in the document called 1999 Constitution-for example,2/3 States of Federation must approve a State Creation!!!
It is not about Lugard that has since died and forgot Nigeria in his grave,even though,he was perpetuating a British Agenda.it is those who designed it and benefiting are on prow and are not ready to leave soon.Indomy Generation lacks history and are unable to perceive serious matters affecting their lives but lives and waste money,time and data on Porn videos as BBN.Too Shameful!!.
Was the Speaker not part of Govt Lawyer then,while are they just informing us now that some fundamental are missing in the project called Nigerian Constitution?.Too bad!!!!!!.

Is your problem with the way the constitution is written or by whom it is written by?

Oreoluwaoye:
The 1999 constitution is the main problem in our nation.
It has done absolute more harm than good.
Many of these criminals from 1999 up till now are all hiding behind many of the laws to steal and rape our nation treasury.
[b]The power of immunity has brought about millions of bad and negatives compare to the very few god aspect of it.
We hope our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari makes a drastic change to this constitution before he leaves the office 4 years from now.

God bless Nigeria

Besides this general and lazy criticism of the constitution, what are your specific objections to it? What role as a constitution did it fail at?

agabusta:


So if you are just sworn in as president, the first thing you'll do is to pay 800 million dollars for a project that was never executed.

800 million dollars! Out of the economy of a country in recession. Oga, think deeply.

Nigeria is not paying that silly fine for one useless abstract dagbo project put together by internal saboteurs and their willing foreign counterparts.

No need to be talking conclusively. The whole thing will be renegotiated.

After your foreign assets are seized and sold.

1999 constituition is actually Nigeria's problem

Legally a constituition require constituitional confrence with contribution from all corners of the country so that the laws wont be strange or alien to us, but this isnt so, most people dont know what law governs them because they werent part of the process, unlike many americans that no their constituition and major ammendments

A constituition written by Abacha and his supreme military council like Abdulsalam and some other asslicking politicians for the purpose of easing a way for Abacha to transittion into a life president

a fvcked up constituition specifically designed to intimedate the poor with clauses like Imuinity for governors and deputy, president and vice
poor man crime like Roberry can get you decades behind bars but rich mans crime like corruption and graft only gets you few months or years with option of fine and maximum of 5 to 7 years


We know if Nigerians made their own constituition through collective gathering of all tribes that made up Nigeria in a constituitional confrence;

*Corruption would recieve brutal punishment (cos we dont joke with thieves)
*No Executive would have anything called secuirity vote that they can spend without accounting for
*Rape and child molestation would had been a capital punishment like kidnaping with death as punishment
*Senator wouldnt be paid irrelevant allowances or huge running cost when NASS is still been ran by FG
*A single Person like the President or minister of petroleum wouldnt be so powerful as to single handedly give out OML and oil fields to who ever he likes and withdraw it when ever he pleases
*Solid Minerals would never be on exclusive list with someone in Abuja telling me i cant mine gold or coal in my fathers farm except abuja minister decides to give me lisence to my own land or gives it to his kinsmenr

As a book of laws, the constitution is coherent enough and readable. There is nothing deficiently wrong with it in regards to the manner it expresses the law it contains. It has a bill of rights, balances the three arms and unusually detailed for a constitution.

Now if your concern is a structural or economic arrangement in the belief that federalism is a better economic model than unitary or close unitary system, then you cannot blame the constitution. Besides the constitution has an amendment clause that can be used. If there is any update required that update can be made as an amendment.

As was said in Training Day, it is not what happened that matters but what you can prove.

Funnily conservative societies are baby breeding machines.

MUMU is ur 1st name do you think BHT will march 5000 men from Borno to Abuja.... It shows how dumb you are !!
They will capture territory after territory, has seen in Nigeria, Syria, Afghanistan & Iraq etc ...
So you just order your men to March from point A to G, leaving B,C,D,E & F before going to G. It shows your I.Q is so timid...
Do you think BHT will order it's troop to March from Borno to Abuja and leave the states between Borno and Abuja unconquered. Guys like you are keyboard warriors, it's time wasting arguing with dump ass like you.
And now you claim you know much about military and you're smart.....

Blitzkrieg is basically that. You drive your forces rapidly from A to G without concern for the flanks; with focus on speed and surprise as a means to paralyze the enemy's decision-making

Do you know that DISCO don't even waste most of their allocations. There is poor Distribution system in place. If the Discos are serious they should overhaul the distribution network first

I learnt DISCOs don't control the distribution. That belongs to TCN.

Splashme:



Bros, DISCOs are not your only problem.
FG, generation, transmission all share in the blame but with the greater blame on FG.
What magic can DISCOs perform with 4,000MW in a large country like Nigeria?

The privatisation was not a 'sham' and I bet you, I don't see the Buhari govt revoking those licenses.
The Vice President even said so. Revoking licences won't solve any problem

It has been said that collection losses are unsustainable. So fit the little power generated, the DISCOs appear inadequate in collecting the revenue for it.

Bizlifelines201:

This Tinubu is Wale Tinubu and it has absolutely nothing to do with Asiwaju. It's a business deal and board room politics gone awry. It never ceases to amaze me how these guys get these judges to play their games when there are thousands of people awaiting trial and their cases yet to go anywhere. The case of winding down order fraudulently given to Ecobank from the now disgraced Yunnusa against Honeywell flour mills has been dragging on for years now yet the judiciary wants to hold the rest of the nation to ransom.Imagine, it took Honeywell 4 years to get the fraudulent injunction lifted and dragged all the way to the Supreme court. This is the same thing Wale and Boyo will do and the investors, like Honeywell, will lose out. That's why this current composition of NJC has to change to bring in serious and upright Nigerian stakeholders.This judiciary is a curse on Nigeria and President Buhari should deliver Nigeria and Nigerians from bad eggs in the judiciary because this judiciary can't cleanse itself.
This restraint is a disgrace to the judiciary. The best she could have granted is accelerated hearing

You have a poor understanding of the Nigerian judicial system.

How do you pay for huge welfare and social programs?

kikake:


Judicial Corruption in Nigeria is a fall-out of the corrupt and roguish unitary governance system in Nigeria.

You can't treat one in isolation of the other.

Restructure Nigeria to fiscal federalism. Judicial corruption shall stop.

You did not see the unitary governance system which breeds and feeds corrupt practices in Nigeria.

You decided to beat about the bush.


How did you not expect hyper corrupt practices in Nigeria's feeding bottle govt system where a few politicians form govt in Abuja, collect revenues from all over the country, retain a huge chunk of the revenues to themselves in central government, then share rest to the states and local government areas?

The earlier some people understand that crude oil proceeds are not what make countries rich and advanced, the better.

Continue to chase shadows but leave the substance.

This man has given so much back to the community from where he was born, he was involved in technology and community development.....and he was part of a team of artists and entrepreneurs who developed Destination Crenshaw, an open-air museum devoted to honoring African-American artistic achievement. Yet a black man killed him.
The fact of the matter is that the black man in America and the black man in Africa has the same mentality of staying primitive and always against people who want to do good for their community and people at large.
Just go to your village and try erecting a good structure like school or hospital and then watch how your village people will start envying you or even try to kill you.
The black race needs a total miracle in changing our orientation.

Very narrow perspective

AfonjaConehead:
The north tactically used SLS,who was also a bank.player and knew the banking games, to destroy southern bank topshots and their banks.
I remember,these accursed coneheads were the most vocal against the southern bankers then.

Shareholders never complained and there weren't signs of the banks going under.

Really?!

I thought most combat engagements were decided by long range weapons before small arms can be of any effect.

Xisnin:


A patent describes a "process", not an idea.
One can neither copyright nor patent an idea.

For example, Elon Musk has several patents on electric cars but that
doesn't stop other companies from developing their own process from the same idea.

And since this idea is about the third-party advert on recharge card printing, even a roadside printer
can come up with his own process.

I think it's an issue of confidentiality not copyright. There is a common duty of confidentiality in disclosing information that is private by nature.

Nigeria has a very liberal appeal system. Glo will appeal considering the resources it has.
