Okay!! Rihanna will just keep laughing.
All those meaningless noise.

INSTINCTS:
*yawns* When will ekiti get out of this mess.

Maybe after the inauguration. Lol!

There were strong indications Thursday that the Presidency has given orders to the military and the police to keep the courts in Ekiti State shut until the inauguration of the state governor-elect, Ayo Fayose on October 16.
 
The move, which counters the directive of the National Judicial Council, NJC, to the courts to resume on Wednesday, is aimed at ensuring the inauguration of the governor-elect without any inhibition by way of injunction or judgment in the ongoing case challenging Mr. Fayose’s eligibility for the recent governorship election in the state.
 
The courts in Ekiti were shut down last month following the invasion of the premises of the headquarters of the State Judiciary by thugs allegedly loyal to Mr. Fayose, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the poll.
 
The thugs had beaten up two judges – J.A. Adeyeye and I.A. Ogunyemi – during the invasion between September 22 and 24, forcing the state Chief Judge, Ayodeji Daramola, to petition the NJC, accusing the governor-elect of being behind the incidents.
 
However, Mr. Fayose, in a separate petition to the NJC, alleged that the judges had been bribed by the outgoing governor, Kayode Fayemi and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to give judgement against him in the case.  
 
The Council directed that the governor-elect be made to appear to explain his role in the attack of the judges and the state judiciary while those involved in the attack be dealt with in accordance with the law.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that although Mr. Daramola was ready to re-open the courts as directed by the NJC, he was, however, frustrated by the State Police Commissioner, Taiwo Lakanu and others, believed to be acting on the orders of the Presidency.
 
It was learnt that the Presidency, through some of its top officials, asked Mr. Lakanu, the Commander, 32 Artillery Brigade, Akure, Aliyu Momoh, a Brigadier General; the Garrison Commander, I. Adonkie, and the Head of the State Security Service, SSS, Samuel Tamuno to ensure that the courts do not open to prevent any judgement on the matter.

It was in obedience to the presidency’s directive that Mr. Lakanu allegedly informed Mr. Daramola that a bomb had been planted in the premises to justify its continued closure, sources familiar with the matter, including officials of the presidency, told this newspaper.
 
The security agencies are now claiming that there are attempts to bomb the courts and that the place must be protected.

Following the alleged bomb threat, army trucks were used to block the roads and prevent access to the court.
“Based on this spurious bomb threat, they locked up the gates and used Army trucks to block the roads and prevent access,” our sources revealed,” one of our sources said.

They reportedly met subsequently to review their strategy and agreed to fully implement the order from the Presidency to shut down the courts.
 
The source said, “In fact now, soldiers have also been stationed outside the capital Ado Ekiti to man other court premises in what is a total clampdown on the judiciary. This gangsterism against the judiciary portends great danger and only the judiciary can put an end to it.”

Mr. Lakanu confirmed the continued closure of the court premises until October 16 to PREMIUM TIMES, but refused to say who gave the order.
 
“Yes, it (court) will remain shut until October 15 or 16. I’m presently there,” he told this newspaper in a telephone interview Thursday evening.
 
On who gave the order, Mr. Lakanu said, “That I cannot be able to speak.”
 
The Commissioner debunked claims that the police action was in anyway tampering with the jurisdiction of the judiciary, saying “I am not working at the court.”
 
Repeated efforts to speak with officials of the Ekiti State chapter of the PDP were not successful as the Chairman, Makanjuola Ogundipe and the Secretary refused to answer or return repeated calls to their mobile telephones.
 
However, the APC Chairman in the state, Jide Awe said the police and the military, by their action, were flouting the directive of the NJC.  

“The headquarters of the courts has been sealed off even though NJC gave an order that court should resume,” Mr. Awe told PREMIUM TIMES on telephone Thursday evening.
 
“The courts have been sealed off and the military are now there, but we don’t know on whose orders.

“It is lamentable. If the president is our Commander-in-Chief, then your information may be true. As far as we are concerned we don’t know on whose orders.
 
“A president who knows the rule of law and the importance of the judiciary should know the implications of what is happening. What we are experiencing is in abeyance with the rule of law.
 
“It is not good for the entire country, not only Ekiti. People that are aggrieved should be allowed to go to court and be heard. They beat judges up, tore their suits, scatter their offices. Even Jesus Christ was humble in the way he treated the Pilate how much more a mortal of the 21st century.”
 
Olayinka Olabode, the media aide to the outgoing governor, told PREMIUM TIMES that though the government was not aware who ordered the continued closure of the courts, the action of the police had been funny.
 
“Although we cannot say who gave the order, we know the police are behaving funny as far as that issue of the court is concerned.”

The Special Adviser to the President on Media, Reuben Abati, did not answer or return calls made to him Friday morning.

FTC... Senator Gilbert Nnaji.. The Look-look senator

LOL!

1.The bench-Warmers - Also known as Ghost Members. They sit in the chamber unnoticed for years. These type of lawmakers constitute about one-third of the house. They are always available for every sitting, never interested in sponsoring nor contributing to any bill what so ever. No sidetalks with other members in the house during a sitting, they watch the entire proceeding, thereafter, they shake hands with one or two colleagues, walks out of the chamber. They are usually rich & influential.

2.The trouble Makers - These are the drama kings. These lawmakers are always the chairman or members of a cabal within the legislative chamber. They usually tag themselves 'The transparency' or 'Integrity group'. You always see them at the forefront in a rowdy session. They champion motions for impeachment, suspension or sack of a member. Always hyperactive, ready to fight, throw unparliamentary words, and at the slightest provocation, they throw the 'honourable' attached to their names to the winds.
Hon. Dino Melaye, Hon. Chidi Lloyds comes to mind.

3.The Abuja Lawmakers - These type of lawmakers visits their constituencies once in a year (and that's always when a federal might or the state Governor is visiting his constituency) they are always in Abuja or outside the country. They bring bills and motions that doesn't make sense at all, just so that a bill can be credited to them. These type of lawmakers are always interested in being a member or chairman of a juicy committee. They are media friendly, granting interviews left, right and centre. They love to be seen and recognised.

4.Distinguish Lawmakers - These Lawmakers are epitome of representation. They are intelligent, God-fearing, valuable lawmakers. They are always effective, they sponsor reasonable number of bills and contribute meaningfully during debates. These lawmakers usually stand firm for what is Just and beneficial to the masses. They are loved by the masses but are never allowed to return to the house, such lawmakers are usually rigged out during subsequent elections.

5.Mama(s) in the House - These are the few elected female legislators, they are usually 2 or 3 members in a particular dispensation. They champion bills on women & girls, but rarely contribute on other issues. One unique thing is.... They love to celebrate their birthday every year and are usually friends with the first lady.
Sen. Florence Ita Giwa comes to mind.

6.Unlawful Lawmakers - These are very controversial lawmakers. They look calm and responsible but very corrupt, behind closed doors, they are good at shady deals. They sometimes forward good bills and are mostly found in juicy committee. They are eventually linked to fraud, bribery, embezzlement or terrorism.

Bennyberry:
The hustling lectures aka quick möney:they sell nd do anytin to obtain frm students.

Lol

1.The Sadist - Most students are scared of him. He comes to class, threatens everyone, you rarely see him smile, always serious with a straight face. He never gives an 'A' and when result comes out, his courses are always mass failure. He is usually the most hated lecturer.

2.The comedian - He is more or less a stand-up comedian. Always lively, students look forward to his laugher-filled lectures but once taken for granted, he can be shocking. He is usually stingy with marks/grades.

3.The Student lecturers - Also known as Assistant lecturers. They usually start as errand boys to some top lecturers in the department, they mark exam scripts, invigilate during tests & exams and later graduate to helping the lecturers with some of their lectures. They are usually hyperactive, aggressive and proud which usually results into a clash with the students.

4.The Crazy Lecturer - He rarely smiles, does things in an unusual manner including ways of speaking(with big grammar like Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon), a funny dress sense(with long bling-bling chains like Ayo Oritsejafor). He is always REAL and serious, doesn't care what his students feels or think about him, highly unpredictable and lectures for 3/4hrs until the students complains.

5.The Fatherly Lecturer - He is always matured, homely, approachable, and friendly. He takes his time to extensively teach his students in such a way that once you fail his course, you know that you truly deserve to fail. He is students' favourite.

6.The Lazy Lecturer - He comes to class twice in a semester(One, for course introduction & later, for revision, a week to Exams). He doesn't lecture nor teach, he only comes to read out loud while the students listen. He doesn't care if you understand or not, and 15 or 20mins, he is done for the day's lecture.

7.The 'Runs' lecturer - He comes to class, gives shabby lectures and drop his mobile digits or his errand boy's digits(The coded students knows what to do). #5k for 'C', #8k for 'B' and #10k for 'A' depending on the importance or Unit of the course.

8.The Departmental dog - Woman wrapper. He takes advantage of any vulnerable female student, it doesn't matter how young she is, the sex addict just want to get laid at the slightest opportunity. Hide your babe, sister, daughter from him.

9.The story teller - 90% of his lecture is the story about his days in the University and how serious/dedicated they were those days + how he still consult his 1973 lecture notebook. He talks about how bad the Gov't and the school management is, especially if he is an ardent ASUU member. He usually receive at least 10 phone calls within a lecture.

10a.The Religion fanatic (Daddy G.O) - This type of lecturer comes to class to chip in the Gospel within his lecture, inviting the entire class to his church & mid week programmes. He is always gentle & Godly.

10b.The Religion fanatic (Mallam) - He comes to class and usually separates the female students from the male students before his lecture begins. He looks gentle and you don't need to be told before you know he is a muslim. Take him for granted and you will pay dearly for it.
