RiversUnited: The Council deliberated on 4 petitions against Hon. Justice Peter O. Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja as follows:
Petition by Mr Douglas W. Chukwu, the Secretary of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission against Hon. Justice Lifu was discountenanced, as the petitioner who had earlier indicated interest to participate in the hearing of his petition failed, neglected and refused to appear before the Committee.
The Council also finds that the allegations of inducement to the tune of $1 Million, a bullet-proof car and gift of a plot of land to Hon. Justice Lifu by Chief Emeka Beke, Chairman, All Progressive Congress, (APC), Rivers State were not substantiated in any form.
It was also found that the same parties who appeared before the High Court in Rivers State, also appeared before Hon. Justice Lifu at the Federal High Court in Abuja, but failed to disclose or bring to the notice of the Hon. Judge the existence of a sister case at Rivers State High Court. It was also found that the same parties who appeared before the High Court in Rivers State, also appeared before Hon. Justice Lifu at the Federal High Court in Abuja, but failed to disclose or bring to the notice of the Hon. Judge the existence of a sister case at Rivers State High Court.
The Council noted that the acts of misconduct alleged were actually perpetuated by the petitioners who filed the case at the Rivers State High Court, after the case at the Federal High Court, Abuja had been instituted, suggesting forum shopping. Council finds that Hon. Justice Lifu neither exhibited personal interest in the matter nor misconducted himself in the procedure and noted that the complaints contained in the petition are now subject of appeal by the petitioners.
Similarly, Council dismissed the two petitions by Abednego Oli Benjamin, Chairman, Boot Party, Rivers State Chapter against Hon. Justice Lifu, as it finds the allegations of bribery and other corrupt practices against the Subject Judge were unsubstantiated. It also finds that there is no proof of misconduct in the ex parte orders made by the Subject Judge. Council also noted that the ex parte orders are now the subject of appeals.
On the petition by Dr. G. M. Giles-West Clark, Rivers State House of Assembly against Hon. Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, the Council finds that the petition was not supported with a verifying affidavit and was therefore, discountenanced.

I am not urhobo. It's tradition and if you can't abide by it, you cannot be compelled to do so, you can only be encouraged.
BlindAngel: Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.
Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.
So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.
To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.
So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.
I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.
Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.
Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.
I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.
I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.
For my place na first daughter husband dey buy coffin and do other things. You allow woman force you into marriage
BlessedGift: Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), says most Nigerian judges are morally upright and hardworking, but a minority are responsible for tarnishing the judiciary’s reputation.
Also, Muhammadu Sanusi II, Emir of Kano said when Judges sell justice to Government officials they should be ready to answer to Allah.
CJN I hope you know Wike is now the head of the judiciary? Wike is like the Equitorial Guinea docker while the Judges are like the over 400 women he docked. The judges no get integrity and no shame.
Thevoicetman: As I said in my open letter three months ago, "Allow me to do my music in peace." Now that I have a new singles out, please allow me to enjoy my new single WINNING in peace. Enough of the negativity! WINNING is out on all music platforms; continue streaming and don't get distracted. Love y'all, peace
If you have followed my journey as a solo artiste and even before, you will notice that I give people their due credit where necessary as I am a firm believer in team work; I know my strengths, where I need assistance or guidance I am not afraid to ask or work with those who are strong in the areas I am not; this includes the process of creating music, executing concepts and ideas etc. I will always give people their due credit for their contributions to my projects.
Sometime in June 2022, I stumbled upon a producer based in Ghana named Vampire, and had my team and I also personally reached out to him via DM, that I liked his work and was interested in working with him. Before getting him to Lagos, I presented the idea of this producer to my twin brother and our team, getting their buy in before I got him flight tickets and flew him to Lagos.
It was when he got into Lagos I asked if he would be open to working on P-SQUARE's next album project, that the 5 songs I had penned down from my end to be presented to our A&R team for the album project these were: JAIYE, WINNING, FIND SOMEBODY, LEGENDARY, and ATTENTION, based on tracks he had produced.
We started with my own songs that needed be submitted for PSQUARE's album, which he produced for me: The idea for WINNING came from one of his beats that I discovered. I came up with the idea of changing the chord progression from the original version to what it is today with my own producer Goldswarm who is the co-producer of the song WINNING.
I had also engaged a songwriter known as CALYPSO who wrote and composed the song WINNING and sent it to me on the beats through a voice note. And we started working on the song. Mind you, he worked on some other songs that were to make the album as well, so my brother was aware of his input to the production as we were all in the studio during this period.
Then when my twin brother heard the song WINNING, which we had already created the hook/ chorus for, he then wanted to start creating a verse. Our agreed-on process for each song presented by us was: arrange the song, leave a verse for the other person, then we both harmonise the chorus and refrain bits together. He wasn't supposed to until Calypso and I finished it as part of my own song submission to the LEGENDARY ALBUM.
After that, we finished and shared verses among ourselves. I do not wish to get into details of why the album didn't see the light of day till date but it takes a different level of psychosis for one to steal what is theirs already; as since the release of this song, I have been labeled and called all sorts online and they have even gone as far as asking for the song to be taken down on various platforms, to what end?
It was never part of his 5, now 6 (according to him) songs for submission, yet when he felt I was not interested in making music because I chose my sanity over the constant berating and drama that seemed to come up over creative direction in the group.
If it were his song, why do I have all the music data including initial conversations and picture/video evidence on the above-mentioned titles/songs? Which of his songs do I have its data in my possession in that case? All because he was hoping for me to quit music. Even when I learnt that he had removed my vocals on songs we did together,
No dey surprised say comptroller of customs dey aware and him get interest. E fit be their business. Nigeria is ruled by highly corrupt men from top to bottom.

I was at the WTO, I won't name the minister from another country. He was telling me we need to give up some of the things we were doing because of colonialism and because they needed time to develop. These arguments are a scam. Don't fall for it. We need to make sure that we put the UK first, we have to look after ourselves." Interviewer: "Those advocating for reparations will say, shouldn't we make up for the damage we did through slavery? As a black woman saying this they may find that hard to understand from you". Kemi:"Well, there are many things that the British empire got wrong. There are many amazing things that the British Empire also did and we need to be honest about that and stop pretending that it was all bad".
Who dey take Kemi serious? Black British are more rascist than the white. Kemi is rascist and prides in that.
CoronaVirusPro: Trump is not winning. He has not flipped any state and just winning the usuals.
If you want to know who is going to win, go check what’s happening in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Those are the few states that determines who wins.
All the whole initial results are normals, nothing has changed.
I posted this video on YouTube, explaining why i think Trump will win. It's all planned. It pains me when I see Christians promoting Trump, Trump represents manythings of the devil, not of Christ. Christians were deceived because this man is against gay, etc.... Lolllllll.. Satan also disguises as angel of light.... Many preachers whom I respect promoted Trump😥. Trump will be America's biggest mistake so far,mark my words... When I saw tinubu visit China few weeks ago, I said okay, when the Currency Wars start, Nigeria will follow BRICS nations...lol... Kamala will be President in 2029.......... gullible people of the world.... It's well. Follow me on YouTube and Instagram streerprophet007 for more insightful videos coming up soon.
Them dey use Trump play. He is leading massively and no going back. Welcome back to the white house, Mr. Trump, the meme god.

Tranquill: The author is certainly promoting fake news. Uche IS NOT Herbert’s brother but first cousin.
His father is Herbert’s father’s younger brother who is still very much alive. I know their family house both in Isiokpo and just beside the polo club GRA, PH.
I know he graduated from Nigeria Military School Zaria and studied Banking and Finance in Uniport.
It would have been nice to know the year he graduated from the University of Ibadan.

You go dey think say na joke til you enter problem
Okeytus: I am not in any way affiliated to the honorable member neither am I a lover of Nigerian politicians but it's good to call a spade a spade. I read comments where so many Nigerians where calling the honorable rep evil names, some went even far as to lay curses on him and threaten him without knowing they are committing same "crime" they want to crucify the honorable member for. They want to remove the log of wood in someone else eyes forgetting theirs is so big that they are almost blind.
"I Can Make You Disappear And Nothing Will Happen" - House Of Reps Member, Ikwechegh Slaps Bolt Driver
By Wisdom Nwedene
A Federal Lawmaker, representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly has allegedly assaulted a bolt driver in his compound in Abuja.
In a video seen by 9News Nigeria, the Bolt driver said he went to deliver something to the Lawmaler but he took offence and assaulted him just because the he asked the him to come to the car to pick up his package, which is snails he ordered from a vendor.
In the video, the lawmaker can be seen slapping the driver multiple times. Later the driver asked him "did you just slap me three times?", which je replied, "twice and you will soon receive the third slap".
Also, in the video, Ikwechegh was heard telling the vendor that he can make the driver disappear and nothing will happen.
"I can make you disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing will happen. Do you know who I am?".
"I am a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I can lock you up in my Generator House and nothing will happen," Ikwechegh said in the viral video.
He also said he won't ask the police officers protecting him to beat up the driver but will do it himself.
Meanwhile, the action has generated a mixed reaction on the social media.
A Facebook user Ogochukwu said ;" This is very disappointing coming from a Lawmaker but again it also shows that a lot of our elected political office holders should have no business in governance."
"Imagine getting this violent because the bolt driver asked you come to the car and get your package. Imagine what he will do if it is a very serious offence committed against him."
So, this albino wey God help don turn God like this? I will make you disappear and nothing will happen? Wow! Imagine how many people wey this man don kill for him to have the boldness to say such? Just imagine. This is the kind of bastards occupying the position of lawmakers in Nigeria. He even said you can call the IG to come here.what audacity!
guobe: With ten days to go to the USA presidential election involving Vice president Kamala Harris of the Democratic party and former president Donald Trump of the Republican party,looking at the indices in place, I am predicting Donald Trump of the Republican party to emerge as the eventual winner. No woman has ever ruled the USA and as popular as Hillary Clinton then,she still lost to Donald Trump and I don't think Kamala Harris comes close to the popularity of Hillary Clinton as she was just a late substitute for Joe Biden. The American economy was better during the presidential era of Donald Trump and most voters will reward him for having a better economy then with lower inflation with his make America great agenda. Ten more days to election, let's see how this plays out.
Donald Trump is going back to the white House. There's something about that man.
