PoliticsRe: BREAKING: INEC Withdraws Motion Against Melaye’s Recall by linearity: 3:40pm On Sep 28, 2017

It was DOA.
INEC has saved themselves the embarrassment.

IkpuMmiri, linearity, adem30 come and read.
This is why Education should be made compulsory before one can be allowed to comment on a public forum, especially that element of English Education call Reading Comprehension.

INEC didn't not withdraw the motion to recall Dino, looking at it fundamentally, INEC does have to file any motion asking any court to recall Dino, it is their constitutional enshrined duties and responsibilities, once they receive a valid petition that meets the constitutional set criterias.

Secondly, the above said motion, was a motion to serve Dino the petition via alternate means since Dino has been evading service.

Thirdly, this motion is mute as INEC have already served Dino in his office with pictures and public statements with journalists attesting to that. So it was unnecessary to continue pursuing a mute matter in court and only right they withdraw it.

The truth is, I have no sacred cow in this process. So don't care if Dino is recalled or otherwise. It will not add one iota of benefit to my person. I just love the political and democratic process and it shows that, as a country we are maturing and following peace due process of the law to settle our differences. Internally, I want the recall process to succeed as it will put current and future elective office holders in Nigeria on notice and will reignite and reawaken local constituent voters to their role and the fact that politicians actually work for them and they have the power to sack any non performing one.

You don't run into danger fool-headed, you don't know if the guy is armed or if he have companies in the vehicle who are also armed.

That's why it's better to leave it for the professionals, while at it gather as many evidences as possible from a safe distance, which would lead to their arrest, which is exactly what they did.

I argue to become informed.
Ask a learned lawyer, no time for unnecessary argument.
There is no point waiting for a learned colleague to show what is in black and white. The Nigeria constitution is in the public domain, you can download a copy and verify yourself that the Senate has zero role to play in a Senator's recall process.

Please, disregard utterances from Senators, they often speak as if, they have almighty powers, consult the constitution, it is black and white.

If e like, let it be all of Kogi. Publish it as the law provides. That is the law. I have never read anywhere INEC approach the court on the second option.
Let's not talk too much, the National Assembly would have still flung the process out when it comes to them to verify the legitimacy of the votes. I'm sure that's why they no even pay attention. I trust them.
INEC should concentrate on step to conducting conclusive elections.
There is no constitutional requirement for the Senate to verify legitimacy of the votes, that is the function of INEC.

The only role that the Senate have is that, the Senate President will receive a certificate of recall from INEC, if the exercise was successful.

INEC then declare that Senate seat open and proceeds to set time table for new election with zero input or direction from the and not withstanding any grandstanding from the Senate.
PoliticsRe: INEC Serves Dino Melaye Recall Notice At The Senate (Photos) by linearity: 3:59pm On Sep 26, 2017

Why do we waste money on semi qualified slowpokes like these. Smart lawyers would have envisaged this alleged dodging and quickly approach the the court with the second option, which is to publish the notice in a national daily.
Dino has every reason to say INEC has doctored those file. But no need, 90 days don elapse.
Dino obtained an order from a court after INEC received the signatures. The Judge's order stating that all parties should maintain the 'status-quo' freezes the 90 days period.

The recall in flow in progress with a revised INEC time table, use google.

Dino will loose if he sues relying on the 90 days as INEC could not do that due to Dino's own actions. This also prevents people from using court delay tactics to evade due process.

Plus, base on the reading of the constitution, the 90 days triggers the time within which INEC must conduct a referendum vote in the local wards, after its has verified that the submitted recall signatures met the minimum threshold....so INEC have some time in between as there is no stated time for them to complete their determination as to if the signatures met the minimum threshold.

ok, what are you trying to say
Ibori that went to prison is now a haemaphrodite
Ibori didn't go to prison in Nigeria, all charges against him Nigeria were quenched.

Plus, he was given a hero's welcome back to Nigeria and he is still been celebrated, consulted and reverend even till today in many quarters in Nigeria.

Though, Adichie is a feminist to a fault and sometimes is blinded by her zealous pursuits to extol the female gender and as such I will not subscribe completely to her views on this.

Agreed, women thieves, prostutions, gang members, professionals, etc are looked at and judged differently compare to their male counterparts...but Haba! that woman steal plenty money oh. So it is very difficult to conclude that, the extend to which she is currently judged is because of the heights of her stealing or if the 'woman factor' have crept in...to me, it's a toss up.

kirchofff:
fruadster wanting to change his "fraud" picture to his real onehuh You don't have a point my friend
You lack comprehension and ability to analyze things and infer likely occurrence:

Let me break it down for you in ABC format:
A. fraudsters obtain the BVN, account & BIO info of a customer either through online phishing, clicking-jacking, XSS attack or through lost of wallet, robbery, etc.

B. Frausters enters Oluwole, to make an authentic looking ID with the victiim's BIO data/contact but with frauster's picture.

C. Approach the Bank about some 'wrong BVN' data that need to be changed...The bank changes the info and they now have not only to the victim's current account, but all accounts in any bank and future accounts.

That's it in ABC. They can also do all of the above through an innocent proxy under their control and who must have been incentivized, this way they can maintain a degree of separation...Even with their pictures on file, it will be difficult to catch them after the crime has been committed, because the Authorities wouldn't know their name or address.

Read more on identity thief, there many more scenarios....google is your friend!
BusinessRe: Can I Change My BVN Picture? by linearity: 8:52pm On Sep 21, 2017
This smell like scam or an attempt to bypass or test the very safe guards that are inherent in the BVN system.

Come to think of it, you indicated that all the datapoints (e.g. picture, fingerprint) that can be used to uniquely identify you are 'wrong' and only the ones (name, date of birth, etc) that can be misrepresented or stolen are correct.

You can see why the bank are turning you down. If this is allowed, nothing stops a fraudster to obtain the name, DOB, etc of a victim and approach the bank to change the picture and fingerprint.

Our Lawmakers are gradually turning themselves to interpreters of law and enforcers of law?

That was how the over ambitious Saraki too was interpreting law yesterday, as if he is a lawyer or the court or the Judiciary.

What power do they have to give such directive?
Saraki's interpretation regarding the Army proscribing IPOB is accurate. The Military does not have such powers.

Saraki also deferred to the President and asked him to do it legally, which the President did and signed before going to the U.N.

This is sad.

Let me even digress,and talk about this rape of a thing,and the lenient Nigeria laws against rapists.

Our laws are lenient on people that commit these abominable act. I personally don't know or have read of anybody convicted of rape in Nigeria before.

Usually,after the suspect is granted bail. The matter somehow gets settled amicably outside,and this is so wrong.

Sex Offenders should be punished.

Kudo's and salute to any woman that has been raped,and still had the courage to say it out, even while our society attach some stigma to them,and in some cases even blame them because of the way they are dressed.

I salute your courage.

As for Azubuike. Sadly,the matter will die a natural death after he is granted bail,and i am sure he will go on and commit more rapes. Very sad.

We need to change our laws,and grant judges more powers to punish rapists in a hard way. And the first step is to make sure rape cases are not bailable.

To the writer below. Rape is not an Eastern problem,or even an ethnic problem. Rape is a universal problem.
A re-write of a million lines of our code will not change a thing.

Rape is not a crime against the State, as a result the prosecution cannot proceed without the victim. And if the victim decides to settle out of court, there is nothing the Judge or the Prosecution can do about it.

To change the outcome, one must discourage victims from settling out of court, which is nearly impossible. It is our culture as Africans to forgive especially if the offender is remorseful and begging us. We naturally don't ignore those pleads, couple with the influence of elders, senior relatives, etc who will converge to 'settle' the matter...before you know it, your desire to continue with the case has been greatly weakened.

You hypocritical COON, you are putting down black people for using affirmative action but at the same time supporting this ratchet thing who also used affirmative action. Of course you believe her she's white, what other evidence do your kind need! You people are delusional.
Can you please quote an authoritative source stating that Rachel Dolezal benefited from affirmative action?

NAACP clearly stated her position with them from which she resigned was not based on race. And there are no indications that her position on the Police Ombudsman was based on race either, notwithstanding that, she identified as African American in her application.

When she attended Howard, she was still white, so definitely did not benefit from affirmative action either for admission or scholarship.

She obtained all her positions and success purely on her merit. Try to get your facts straight before denigrating somehow and not blindly copy blogs and news groups, spend sometime to research and ensure that your statements are true.

Christianity EtcRe: Perfect Religion: Why Do Some Pastors Emphasise Mala. 3:10 More Than James 1:27? by linearity: 2:10pm On Sep 17, 2017
FA13:
Christ himself said he didn't come to break the law but to fulfil it.

We are now under the law of liberty. What they were struggling to achieve under the law that they were not able, we can do easily under the grace.
The Bible says...Christ fulfilled the laws, so that we under the dispensation of grace will be free from the law and have no need to live by the laws and if Christ has fulfill it, we are then free.

He did not break aka abolish the laws, but suspended it under the dispensation of grace. People will still be saved by the law once the dispensation of grace is over. Israelite sacrifices will return, tithing will return, atoning for sin by killing animals will return, the Bible say in those days, the Israelites will cry to him on account of their persecution and suffering and he will hear them. Many Israelites still practice the law today and there is nothing wrong with that, because they have chosen not to be part of the dispensation of grace.

The problem with practicing the law is, if you do one; you must do all. So you can't observe tithing without keeping the other laws...

Offering is not an obligation and it is not mandatory.

No where is it compel in the scriptures. Base on the Bible it must be from a willing heart, given cheerfully.

Setting an amount for offering is not biblical, there is no biblical precedent and it goes against the standards set by the scriptures.

The Pastor or Church clergy should not burden the members to take care of them financially, all the leaders of the early church did other works that sustained them financially and they were more effective than any present day Pastor. Finally, just like the members of the church put their faith in God and pray to Him for sustenance, the Pastors and Clergymen should do the same.

Jesus did not send his disciples out to go preach about getting money to maintain themselves or the church, he sent them to go spread the gospel about His death, resurrection, salvation and His second coming, the other things like shelter or substance may or may not follow.

Stop this nonsense! And concentrate on preaching the message of salvation.
