Properties › Re: Lawyer condemns new Lagos law legalising ‘foundation fee’ by lightheart(m): 6:58am On Aug 26, 2016
nextstep:
The trouble is:
1. the law does not say you will pay "foundation fee" only once
2. it also does not say what constitutes this fee. Say you build 3 bungalows, do you pay thrice?
3. they can ask for any amount
4. you'll be lured into paying one price for land, then be compelled to pay double once you're hooked

Of course, this may not be the case today, but I can see how this foundation fee can evolve to be a monster over time
You got the gist.

Business › Alaba Market Closed As Traders Protest Over Obosi - The Sun by lightheart(op): 11:34am On Aug 17, 2016
Alaba market boils, closed as traders protest over Obosi

The heavy presence of security agents averted what could have been mayhem in Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos, yesterday.

Traders in that section of the market, locked their shops to protest the overbearing influence of Chief Azubuike Ekwerekwu, aka Obosi, who they claimed had enslaved them over the years, by forcing them to pay through their noses in matters of security, shops and PSP, among others. They also accused him of ‘manipulating the elected executives’ to exploit them.

The protesters marched to Ojo Police Station carrying placards with different inscriptions like “Obosi must go,” “Obosi has exploited us enough,” “Obosi is our problem,” “Obosi rules market with thugs and in-laws” and “Obosi has enslaved us.”

One of the protesters, Inno, told Daily Sun that, “Obosi is the problem we have in Alaba market.”
According to him, Obosi is too powerful and does not allow the elected members of the market to work. “He is the one who determines whatever each trader will pay. We want the man to leave the traders alone.” Another demonstrator, simply identified as Ken, said they can no more tolerate the overbearing influence of Obosi.
“Take for instance, the Vice President of the Amalgamated Traders Association is his boy. The financial secretary is his boy. The treasurer is his in-law. The public relations officer (PRO) is his brother, the task force chairman is his nephew, the store keeper is from the same town with him and the ward chairman is his boy.”
Another traders, who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, said what brought about the protest was the arrest of the market security chairman identified as Okey by policemen from Ojo Police Station.

This development frayed nerves, and was about to degenerate into chaos, but the traders took their protest to the Ojo Police Division.

President of the Amalgamated Traders Association of Alaba International Market, Emeka Mozoba, bailed Okey and appealed to the traders to go back to the market.
Addressing the traders, Azubuike assured that their freedom had started. He and other leaders were invited to Area E Police Command, Festac Town.
As at about 2.00pm, the traders were yet to open their shops.

I don't know what is wrong with some people. When politicians win elections, they will be the first to advice anyone with any grieviance against the election to "go to court". When you now go to court and get a favourable judgement, the same politician that said "go to court" will turn around and start making noise.

As it stands now, Uche Ogah is the Governor-elect and it is for Ikpeazu to now go to court to overturn the judgement. There is no room for sentiment here.
Bam reasoning!

…….orders him to pay N200,000 to Ogah, Ikpeazu, PDP, Nwosu

By Ikechukwu Nnochiri

ABUJA - The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Friday, dashed hopes of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Abia state, Dr. Alex Otti, to benefit from the high court judgment that sacked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu from office.

In a unanimous decision, a five-man panel of justices of the appellate held that Otti and his party lacked the locus standi to be joined as interested parties in appeal that arose from verdict of the lower court.

The court noted that gamut of the dispute that was resolved by trial Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on June 27, bordered on qualification or otherwise of Ikpeazu to participate in the governorship primary election the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, held on December 8, 2014.

It held that since the issue related to qualification of candidates to be nominated or sponsored by the PDP, neither Otti nor APGA had the legal right to meddle in an inter-party affair of another political party.

The appellate court described Otti as “a meddlesome interloper and busy-body”, stressing that under section section 87(9) of the Electoral Act, 2010, only those that participated in the PDP primary could question the outcome.

“The applicant who is a member of another political party has no locus to query process of nomination of another party.

“He is merely a busy body who has no locus to appeal against the whole decision of the lower court regarding the governorship primary election conducted by the 2nd Respondent on December 8, 2014.

“The applicants (Otti and APGA) had the onus to show the interest they have and how the judgement of the lower court adversely affected them.

“The applicants do not have sufficient legal grievance. They only have general interest which is equal to that of any other candidate that participated at the election.

“They are neither necessary nor desirable parties in this appeal. It is left for the 1st and 3rd Respondents ((Ogah and Ikpeazu) to slug it out.

“Moreover, the applicants could not have been joined as an interested party by the lower court”.

The appellate court further held that Otti and APGA did not place enough materials for it to judicially and judiciously exercise discretion in their favour in line with section 243 of the constitution.

“The applicants have failed to establish any cognizable legal interest to warrant this court to join them as interested party in an inter-party dispute.
“A complete stranger cannot be allowed to meddle the waters of this dispute.

“On the whole, this application lacks merit and it is accordingly dismissed with N50, 000 cost to each of the respondents except the 4th Respondent (INEC)”, the court held.

Whereas the lead judgment was prepared by head of the panel, Justice Morenike Ogunwumiju, it was however delivered by Justice A. D. Yahaya.

Otti and APGA had in the motion they filed on July 15, prayed the appellate court for leave to appeal as an interest parties, against the high court judgment that sacked Ikpeazu from office.

Otti said he was not aware of pendency of the suit at the lower court until the verdict was delivered on June 27.

He argued that having secured the 2nd highest number of votes at the 2015 governorship election in Abia state, the judgment of the high court directly affected his interest, especially as it relates to the consequential orders that were made against Ikpeazu.

Placing reliance on section 243 of 1999 Constitution, Otti maintained that Mr. Sampson Ogah who had already been issued fresh Certificate of Return by INEC, has no locus to take over from Ikpeazu as Abia State governor since he did not participate in the election proper.

He contended that going by the high court judgment, PDP had no qualified candidate for the election.

Meanwhile, Justice Yahaya noted that under Order 7 Rule 4 of the Court of Appeal Act, Otti and APGA ought to have firstly filed the joinder application before the lower court.

He said though Otti expressed his intention to rely on record of appeal that was transmitted to the appellate court on July 4, he however sought leave to file his own separate appeal.

He said Otti had in the manner he couched his reliefs, injected fresh issues that were not part of what was determined by the lower court.

Both Ikpeazu and Ogah had vehemently opposed Otti’s bid to be joined in the the substantive appeal which is fixed for hearing on August 9.

The duo, through their respective lawyers, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, and Dr. Alex Iziyon, SAN, argued that all issues relating to Abia state governorship election had already been settled by the Supreme Court.

They accused Otti of attempting to re-litigate a case he fought and lost at the apex court level.

Similarly, both PDP and one of its gubernatorial aspirant in Abia state who is also laying claim to the governorship seat, Mr. Friday Nwosu, also urged the court to dismiss Otti’s application which they said was not only frivolous, but constituted an abuse of the judicial process.
