The owner of the demolised Prodest Hotel, Mr. Gogo Needam in an interview with Nigeria Info 92 3 FM Port Harcourt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPsTZRZmSe0 The jonsing by Wike is long. |
Before you support Wike. “No Constitution allows a Governor to become the maker of a Law, accuser, witness, enforcer of the Law, the prosecutor and the Judge at the same time. It is primitive,” Falana said. Wike Is A Colossal Embarrassment To The Nigerian Bar Association - Femi Falana https://www.nairaland.com/5850227/wike-colossal-embarrassment-nigerian-bar#5850227.1 |
Old Boy. The matter tie K-Leg. Wike's jonsing is not here. |
The person in question is not the owner of the Hotel. A guest misbehaving in a hotel is not a right to tear down the property. |
“No Constitution allows a Governor to become the maker of a Law, accuser, witness, enforcer of the Law, the prosecutor and the Judge at the same time. It is primitive,” Falana said. A lawmaker should know this. What about the second hotel demolished, were the task force shot at there too? |
dukeprince50:Wike does not act, talk or behave like a benching lawyer. |

Maxymilliano:The idea that this is a so called senior lawyer makes it more baffling. |
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has said Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike is an embarrassment to the Body of Benchers. He said the Governor needs to be sanctioned by the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA. Falana, SAN, in an interview with DAILY POST correspondent, said the development in Port Harcourt was very disturbing, stressing that Wike should not be allowed to continue to violate the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). The rights Lawyer also said the Executive Order relied upon by Governor Wike is an administrative instrument with guidelines and not a Law, adding that the Constitution supersedes the Governor’s order. Falana added that any offender regardless of the crime committed should be charged before a Court and tried in line with the Law. “It is unfortunate that these events are happening in Port Harcourt where the Governor of the State is Senior Lawyer and not just a lawyer, I’m even informed that he’s a member of the Body of Benchers; that is an embarrassment. A colossal embarrassment to the Nigerian Bar Association. “Under our Law, an emergency situation under the Quarantine Act does not permit the demolition of a house by an alleged offender. Whoever has breached the Law will have to be tried and convicted by a Court of Law before a sentence can be pronounced. “There is no provision for even the President to take the Law into his hands and then begin to mete out punishments to citizens without recourse to the constitution. “We hope that the Governor will be properly advised to reverse his decisions, publicly apologise and restore the properties of those that have been destroyed. Everyone will have to go through a judicial process. That is what the rule of Law is all about. “The guidelines and regulations in the Executive Order are subject to the Constitution. So, if there is a conflict in the guidelines, the directives of the Governor and the Constitution, his directives will bow to the Constitution. “The right to property, fair hearing and liberty are constitutional rights. No Governor has the power to dismiss these rights under the pretext of enforcing the COVID-19 regulations. “I expect the victims of his actions to take legal actions because I have seen the Executive Order of the Governor, there is no provision for demolishing properties. Only a court of Law can do that and that is after being found guilty. What is done in civilised places is for the Governor to obtain an order of interim forfeiture and then go through a trial. “No Constitution allows a Governor to become the maker of a Law, accuser, witness, enforcer of the Law, the prosecutor and the Judge at the same time. It is primitive,” Falana said. DAILY POST https://dailypost.ng/2020/05/11/rivers-wike-a-colossal-embarrassment-to-body-of-benchers-falana/amp/?__twitter_impression=true |
From reports, the hotel is owned by Promise Gogorodari. Not the said Youth leader highlighted in the comment. |
mrvitalis:The spin doctors are working to redeem the Governors image. So, what about the second hotel demolished, did they shoot at the task force there too? |
Save the lecture. Pay her, then you can preach. Look at Saint Obi the Pastor. ![]() |
Kyari who appointed himself on the board of NNPC also appointed his daughter Vice President of Nigeria’s Sovereign Wealth Fund. In effect, his nuclear family alone was in charge of both Nigeria’s income generation agency and Nigeria’s savings agency. Say what? Femi Fani Kayode and Reno Omokiri, come and see your hero in Action. |
What is this craze for ventilators? Nigeria needs testing kits in large amount, not ventilators to prevent people for falling ill to need ventilators. Please channel your efforts towards developing rapid test kits locally. |
frankputer:Wow. I did not know that. |
Subzero047:I think during play, the formation will switch to a 3-5-2 with Lallana and Coutinho playing the forward roles. Joe Allen will drop to the creative midfield role while Moreno will offer width down the left. Henderson will still maintain position but will drift to midfield when they lose the ball or try to keep possession. He will go down the flanks but not too forward. The play will be more off a direct one with the balls heading to Lallana and Coutinho for most of the forward play. This is to narrow the defensive set up of the opposition while Moreno will bombard the space with pace when the gaps come. The opposition set up and line up can create a better picture. |
Subzero047:I am totally confused here. I do not get it. Unless it was a defensive formation. Like a park bus approach. Who they were playing will go a long way. Joe Allen even in a forward position is baffling. |
streetfabulous:Exactly. We also need to empower the local governments to act with strict guidelines with respect to management at a local level. We can use social media channels for rapid training of local Covid-19 units. We need to enhance testing capacities at a local level to treat this in micro-clusters. Making this a central affair is also a time bomb I am fervently praying against. The FG should release the fund they want to spend on their so called 774,000 road sweepers and gutter cleaners (N60 Billion - you can imagine). That madness should stop. Channel those resources to the local governments under the guardiance of a local monitoring team by stake holders. There is too much to do to continue this joke the FG and NCDC are displaying. |
Ricchcream:We are not just to work with what we have but comprehensively utilise our limited resources to its most maximum capacity. The bosses of the Ministry of Health and NCDC need to go. I will keep saying it. We need far more creative minds. We need to get the private sector on board, including the CSOs that have direct link to the masses and their needs. We need the academic institutions to contribute their quarter. We need a comprehensive Covid-19 action plan fast and need to act on it. We have expert in these. Get them in. We can not keep moving at such a slow rate when even capable nations are falling. |
Ricchcream:The virus is not waiting for our own pace. We need to act creatively to get ahead of the virus. Sample testing will go a long way and N15 Billion is more than enough to have carried out sample testing, massive surveillance and to an extent larger scale treatment than we are currently doing. Heck Ghana has done 68,591 tests. We could have done close that for sample tests. |
Ricchcream:How do we know when we have not done comprehensive sample testing in the whole country? This is just guess work. |
AmTruth:Then there should be a partnership with the Academia, Private sector and the FG on the possibility of generating testing kits here. Action needs to take place. Not excuses. |
Ricchcream:One of the things that can be done is sample testing in multiple locations and then calculate possible spreads and enforce mass testing at areas that shows the possibility of high spreads. For Christ sake, the FG released N15 Billion. What are they doing with it? |
Ricchcream:And how do you get the base to act?....... By sample testing. Which until now we are doing at a very limited capacity. There is no defence for mediocrity. |
Graysons:Ghana - 68,591 tests Nigeria - 10,000 tests. Do the maths. |
israelmao:Exactly. All States need to do sample testing to determine the possibility of widespread infection of Covid-19 first. Those States without it or with very limited but contained cases can lift Lockdown but with strict guidelines. We just locked up people with little to no testing, thinking the virus will disappear m |
Ricchcream:South Africa started mass testing March 31, 2020. Now do you see that we are too slow? |
Graysons:Does that excuse us conducting about 10,000 tests after ramping up testing and Ghana 68,591? We have been mediocre in all aspects. |
Graysons:You do not get it. They have done their statistical analysis and have come up with a containment plan. They are going to release sub centres and will monitor the growth of the spread. That was what the lockdown was for. Ghana has spent the three-week lockdown to conduct more than 68,000 tests and draw-up plans to establish testing centers in all of its 16 regions, Akufo-Addo said. Local factories commenced the production of protective equipment while drone services are used to speed-up the transportation of tests, he said. |

I hope the Minister of Health and the NCDC boss are learning. In sane climes, these two would have been sacked for recklessly endangering the public with their careless actions. I hope State Governors take note. Testing goes along with Lockdown. Lockdown is not a magic wand to drive Covid-19. Without Mass Testing, the Coronavirus Pandemic Will Keep Spreading Countries such as South Korea that test thousands of people per day have slowed the outbreak. Other nations must adopt Seoul’s model before it’s too late. The key to South Korea’s success has been speed and an early push toward mass testing, rigorous contact tracing, and mandatory quarantine for anyone near a carrier of the virus. The country, with a population of 51 million, tests more than 20,000 people a day at more than 600 testing sites nationwide, while integrating apps that not only track individuals if they have tested positive, but also warn them if they might have been exposed to a known case. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/23/coronavirus-pandemic-south-korea-italy-mass-testing-covid19-will-keep-spreading/ Lockdown means nothing without testing, isolating and treating infected ones. |
