Your IQ is definately below 50 if you don't understand the meaning of the word 'value'. Granted, he failed to keep his promise, but making the value of Naira means the purchasing power, not $1 to 1NGN

ur a stack illiterate!


if u say X and Y's value are the same what does that mean?


it means X=Y


if the Naira and the dollar have the same purchasing power or value it would mean Naira=dollar

meaning 1naira=1dollar
2naira=2dollar
3naira=3dollar


stop tryna sound smart so foolishly

ORIENTATION101:
Where re the states of People that use waec special centre results as yardstick . You see their states leading in waec but when it comes to admission into tertiary institution they re no where to be found.

ur not even making sense

the waec ranking is based on scores

but this jamb ranking is based on population , everyone knows the north and west is more populated so it's expected for them to have more jamb candidates than the east

For your mind I am used to calling my friends dear, darling, sweet, both males and females. That does not mean I friend zone them

This is another development bait for the Igbos.
My Igbo brothers will fall over themselves, and rush to quickly develop this place, with investments running into billions, living out their Igboland to remain undeveloped and in ruins.
With their errorneous thinking that Lagos is a no-man's-land, in due time, when it happens again, they would as usual, forfeit all their investments to the natives.
WISE MEN FROM THE EAST!

so sad that u can't live without thinking about Igbos or hating them, how does this have anything to do with tribe here ?


some people are just messed up

maybe it's nairaland's fault

Controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has reacted to Davido's girlfriend, Chioma starting up her cooking show soon.

According to Kemi, she is a self acclaimed aspiring chef. Read her explanation below...

"STOP ILLITERACY, BOOST EDUCATION
David Adeleke's girlfriend Chioma is NOT a chef! She calls herself that. She is a self acclaimed aspiring chef. Don't use titles loosely. A chef is a trained professional cook who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation, often focusing on a particular cuisine. It's like when @pulsenigeria247 called me "self acclaimed Journalist" and had to apologise for it. I actually SAT IN A CLASSROOM. The same with #LindaIkeji with her honorary degrees. She is not really supposed to be calling herself "Dr" as she did not sit in a classroom which is like my academic degree of Dr of Pharmacy #DrKOO #hnnfood #hnnamebo #KemiOlunloyo"

a chef is someone who cooks for a living check the dictionary

• To allow observers, media access to situation room
• Raises the alarm over looming violence

As part of it efforts to ensure transparency and build confidence in the February 16 presidential election, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has vowed to solely man the result collation centre, stressing that he will not share his constitutional responsibility as the chairman of the collation secretariat with anybody.

The INEC boss was also said to have raised the alarm over what he described as the increasing violence tendencies by politicians and youths who could be used by politicians to carry out nefarious activities, saying that the elections might be disrupted if the security agencies refuse or fail to carry out their jobs, in line with INEC’s specifications.

This is coming as the electoral body has also decided to allow members of the accredited civil society groups, local/international election observers and the media access to its Situation Room.

The Situation Room is a centre where all results from all states for the presidential election are counted and collated before they are finally announced.

The room is unique to INEC; it is its internal control mechanism and the core activity of the commission, which is not usually open to outsiders.

THISDAY also gathered from a senior INEC’s official that Yakubu, has vowed not to share his constitutional responsibility as the chairman of the results collation secretariat with anybody.

“We have decided to open up the Situation Room for members of the civil society groups, party’s members, local/international election observers and the media. But they would have to be accredited. The greatest thing for us is that the process is opened,” the senior INEC officer stated.

There has been pressure on INEC to grant international and local observers access to its situation room during the elections, especially with President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. It was canvassed that it would make the election transparent and makes the result they will declare believable.

The INEC officer also urged Nigerians and the international community not to entertain any fear about the integrity by the electoral body to conduct credible election, saying that the commission had over the years, built huge capacity to conduct credible elections.

He, however, said that INEC has its own limitations, adding that “we can only do what we can do.’’

According to him, Yakubu is concerned that with the increasing violence tendencies by politicians and the number of youths who could be used by politicians to carry out nefarious activities, the elections might be disrupted if the security agencies refuse or fail to carry out their jobs, in line with INEC’s specifications.

“If we have violence, many elections could be declared inconclusive; that is my fear. For now, it is a big issue for all of us. Many of the registered voters are young people; they don’t have patience on the day of election. And they can easily be used by politicians to disrupt the election’’, the INEC senior officer added.

He also revealed that the commission had virtually finished its recruitment of ad-hoc staff for the elections, with majority of the recruited presiding officers coming from the National Youth Services Corps (NYSC) members, adding that in states where they don’t have enough corps members, some final year students were recruited from the federal institutions – universities and polytechnics.

As for the Collation/Returning Officers, he revealed that those recruited were of professorial grade from federal universities, who were carefully selected in conjunction with the Vice-Chancellors of the universities they operate from.

The INEC officer, who also expressed serious concern over contradicting court orders from courts for equal jurisdiction, said that INEC had been dragged to court for over 619 times since the process started.

He warned that there can never be true democracy without democrats, advising all stakeholders to play by the rules.

We Are Yet to Receive Court Judgments on Zamfara APC

In another development, INEC has revealed that it has not been served any of the two conflicting court rulings issued last Friday on whether or not it could accept the list of candidates for presented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Zamfara State in the forthcoming general election.

A High Court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara State, presided over by Justice Muhammad Shinkafi in suit No: ZMS/GS/52/2018, had ruled that the ruling APC actually conducted primaries in the state and should be allowed to present candidates for electoral contest.
However, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja Judicial Division in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/1279/2018 dismissed the case of the APC and ruled that INEC acted within its powers by refusing to accept the list of candidates from the Zamfara State chapter of the APC.

INEC had last October said it would not allow the APC to field candidates in Zamfara State because the party failed to conduct primaries before the deadline stipulated.

Some members of APC in the state had approached the court challenging the decision of INEC.

The party said it conducted primaries which produced current governor, Abdulaziz Yari as a senatorial candidate and his Commissioner of Finance, Shehu Idris, as the governorship candidate, among others.

Justice Shinkafi, who delivered the ruling said APC had conducted primary elections on October 3 and 7, 2018.

The Zamfara court specifically directed INEC to accept candidates from the party for Zamfara States in the forthcoming elections.

The court also barred the national secretariat of the APC from replacing the names of those who won the primary elections of the party.

But Justice Ojukwu, in her judgment, said it was not the fault of INEC that the APC failed to conduct a valid primary within the period scheduled by the electoral body.

The judge said INEC’s action was intended to curb impunity among political parties and politicians and ensure that rule of law is adhered to.

Justice Ijeoma contended that the APC failed to conduct a valid primary within the period scheduled by the electoral body.

She said such action from INEC was good for democracy, saying it would instill discipline in political parties.

The judge noted that if consensus candidates are to emerge, there are laid down rules, the constitution of a party, which must be adhered to strictly. INEC National Commissioner and chairman Voter Education and Information, Festus Okoye, told THISDAY that the electoral body has not received a copy of the judgment delivered by the High Court in Gusau and the one delivered by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He stated: “The commission notes that the Gusau High Court in Zamfara State and the Federal High Court in Abuja are courts of coordinate jurisdiction.

“INEC has not received Certified True Copies of the two judgments as well as the enrolled court orders.

“As soon as the commission receives the two judgments and enrolled court orders, the commission will carefully and meticulously study both judgments for proper understanding of the issues that were canvassed before both courts and the issues formulated for determination as well as the “ratio” that informed both judgments.

“In taking a decision, the commission will also be guided by the specific orders made by the courts and or the reasons for the dismissal of one of the suits.” “As soon as the commission concludes its analysis and study of the judgments and orders of both courts, it will take a position that accords with the law and the constitution and inform the parties and the Nigeria people accordingly,” he said

Please, for those crying for deep sea ports in their barren, muddy landlocked lands, go and ask your Governors to give you.

Hope you can see Aketi's plan for Ondo and the Lekki Deep Seaport in Lagos? Both are State projects.

The only thing your Governors can do is fight over naming of street from Abakaliki Street to Club street.

Checks & Balances

The 1999 Constitution has neither checks nor balances. There are zero consequences for any breach of the wordings of the Constitution. The make-up of the states as vassals of the central government does not permit the fake federating units to disagree with the central government and call for negotiations of a point of discord. There are no means of enforcing any judgement given by any court...
There is no way whatsoever a president could be curtailed or contained if and when he goes overboard! There is no way to manage a rampaging president!

Some newts write that the current president does not obey the Rule of Law? Well, that is NOT exactly true! The fact is that by the 1999 Constitution, the Law DOES NOT rule! Where's the Rule of Law in that Constitution? The Nigerian President is the Law! He doesn't have to obey any court rulings because there isn't any means to enforce them!

The national assembly? Come on; read your Constitution! The Section 5 has vested ALL executive actions upon the president! He controls all aspects of security, finance and whatever! The Nigerian President is a super god! All he needs to do is to employ Executive Orders and hinge them on national security among others. We could bring up tens of clauses in the Constitution that allow him to do as he likes!
Severally we wrote about the inordinate codification of fascist clauses in that Constitution. We studied the History of that Constitution in order to understand the Spirit of it. The fact that the PDP presidents attempted to avoid those codes and clauses does not mean they weren't there or they couldn't use them. They could but sparingly used them!

Some Learned Illiterates; graduates of the Brainwashing Facilities labelled the Nigerian Law Schools had been negating obvious facts and calling us names all the while. We were always restrained and tried to stay on the path of enlightening the public on the dangerous document foisted upon us all. They mischievously lulled people into silence. We showed them aspects of the 1999 Constitution that proved that the Judiciary was subservient and subsumed under the powers of the president, they protested and called us Intellectual Terrorists! No problem!
Now, the president has removed the Chief Justice of the Federation without recourse to the NJC as dictated by the statutes employing Section 5 and national security as an excuse. Very legal. What could the Bar and Bench do now? We want our so-called legal folks to inform us how they could get the president to reverse this order. In fact, we want them to show us how the Constitution says the president should be punished for breaching this aspect of the Constitution. We want to know how they would remove the Sharia Judge and jail the president for this assault!

Ndi charge and bail lawyers talking rubbish since and defending the 1999 Constitution, come and tell us how you, your NBA, NJC, or whatever could stop this atrocious event and throw the president into jail. If you cannot tell us how it could be reversed and get it reversed, then you must agree that the Law Schools duped you of your school fees! You were duped so you could ask for a refund...or sue them! After all, the Rule of Law exists...in your minds!

What a mess we call a country! The 1999 Constitution has no checks and balances! There is no way to enforce it! It is a scam! You were trained at the Law Schools to interpret the Great Scam as Law! That is the truth! Now, go ahead and deny it as usual; that's what brainwashed people do!

That Constitution must go! If the NBA and NJC had joined the fight to discard the 1999 Constitution all this time, we might have made some progress; but they had been the greatest defenders of the biggest Heist of the 20th Century!
Shame!!!

such nonsense from a lady

Wailing zombies.

zombies wail in ur mind abi?

stale...

Tetehjewels:
He got the powers the moment the CJN admitted to his "crime of omission" in which ignorance is not an excuse in the face of the law.

In that event he cannot be a judge in his own case. He was given the opportunity to voluntarily step aside pending the outcome of his case but he refused. He therefore had ri be suspended on those grounds.

And regarding your earlier ganduje nonsense, he has immunity now. Such an immunity not enjoyed by the CJN

why are u so ignorant , why are u trying so hard to follow buhari ?


even a person sentenced to death still has rights , even if u admit to a crime u are innocent until a court says ur guilty, if the CJN is guilty there are procedures for this

not the president changing CJN'S like changing the TV channel

Patrioticman007:
The CCT advised PMB to suspend the CJN pending the determination of his case. Once he is found not guilty he will be reinstated. Nobody should be above the law, if saraki as the Number 3 citizen of Nigeria, was docked and he won the case. Why won't the number 5 citizen defend his name in the court, if truly he is innocent, he has noting to fear, for he will be reinstated immediately after the trial. God bless Nigeria.

ur right nobody should , including the president


and it is against the law for the president to suspend the CJN

how can in a democracy an arm of government would have so much direct power over another ? that would defeat whole point which is for an arm of government to be independent ,


and which CCT ? the court of appeal (a higher court than the CCT) has already told the CCT to stop the case against CJN , so what powers do they have to tell buhari to do anything



listen stop following blindly when something is wrong it's wrong

have u seen atiku's?

wait and see then compare don't make comparisons b4

Tetehjewels:
Cry me a waterfall saraki. Mr President has been handed the right to suspend the CJN by the CJN himself when he admitted in writing that he "forgot " to declare his assets which is against the law.

He thus cannot be a judge in his own case.

Blame the CJN and not Buhari.

Plus the constitution of Nigeria as you rightfully observed is silent regarding suspension but clear when it comes to removal. Thus it places no limitations on Mr President when it comes to suspending the CJN. It only does so when it comes to removal.

Case closed.

don't u see blind man

it's not about "right"

the president "CAN'T" suspend the CJN
it's against the constitution , the president himself just broke the law and he wants to judge someone else who broke it?

buhari has a long history of being an hypocrite in everything he allegedly stands for

Aufbauh:
The suspension of the CJN by PMB is one of the wisest decision this administration has taken since it assumption.
Nigeria is not a Banana Republic and we can't be perpetually impeded by frivolous technicalities in obviously clear case of misconduct.

Saraki and Co can rant till thy kingdom come but the true spirit of the law will have it way.

u unwise man

two wrongs don't and has never made a right , if the CJN is corrupt then there are due process for that , if u are accused of corruption would u like it if u are sent to prison without even going to jail

the judiciary is a third arm of government and as such should be independent of other arms if the president (executive ) can be changing CJN's like he changes the his sim card that would be a stain on democracy
something far greater than any corruption PDP has ever committed


don't let ur support for this guy blind u


remember the devil himself has followers and they are with him in hell!

borntoexcel2000:
Lawyers oya come in

Someone said, "Suspension" and "Removal" are two different things...

The learned, am waiting

Modified:

Someone said, A suspension is not a removal. Under law those are two different things.

He is still the CJN but on suspension. While an Interim CJN would take his place pending the outcome of his case at CCT.

Case closed. Let me take a bow

whether temporary removal or permanent removal the president doesn't have the ability to do either

QuotaSystem:
Did APC ever tell you they were banking on SE votes? Lol they were inconsequential in 2015 and remain so today.

Any APC rallies in the 5% vote region is just to fulfill all righteousness. Even the SS is more valuable to APC.

Just remember that what you sow is what you will reap so better start atikulating even harder.

lol u got a big mouth


election is just three weeks away ,when buhari loses I'll mention u

The 2015 election has crystalized the fact that Buhari doesn't need votes from the SE, the implication is that no serious political party will deem them strategic enough for victory.

They are inconsequential to both the PDP and the APC

APC will win without them
PDP will still lose with them

That isn't the case with the SW & NW

MajorJeffery:
I've done some things for him earlier especially immediately after his sudden death. He came in the dream some time ago and showed a document his mum was searching for weeks at their house. I went to their house that morning, got inside his room and brought out the documents from where he hid them exactly the place he showed me in the dream.

Recently, it's about a lady I don't even know and haven't met. In the dream, he had her as girlfriend and was about to propose. When the time came for that, I suddenly couldn't see him near me so I proposed to the girl on his behalf giving her a reason that my friend was shy.(I mean who does such) It was just real and he later showed up and started laughing sheepishly.

There are more stories and the thing is that I never thought about him before sleeping.

oh my God


dude ur creeping me outttttt


are u for real

pls tell us more oh I'm curious


are u telling me that u can contact the dead

Meliian:
Well... If you didn't care you wouldn't respond to this.

just wanna advice u


one of the biggest delusion u can give to ur self is overestimating ur worth , walking around thinking like ur special or u actually count In the world , thinking that we Igbos would some how suffer because u hate us , going everywhere spilling ur hate or annoyance thinking that something would happen that it would actually have an effect in the world , well it won't cause u don't matter

ur hate can only and only ever affect u


that's my advice
peace

God forbids. Can't vote for any igbo candidate. Not now or in the future. However, I did enjoy his thrashing of APC and PDP candidates with regards to their absence from the debate. But no igbo. It's just what it is.
