We have to hold the judiciary responsible if they don’t pass the right judgement based on the 1999 constitution.

But how is their currency still very strong? What do they sell? These whole thing I don't understand at all.

Lagos State governor Sanwo-Olu commissioned the blue line in December, but it couldn’t start operations because a facility to power the tracks wasn’t ready.

The metro will now use a diesel locomotive for some weeks until the power plant is ready to connect to the tracks.

According to John Ashbourne, an African analyst, while quoting a video of the train being pulled, he wrote;

Let there be healthy treatment.

We should be patient with Tinubu? The Tinubu that brought Buhari?. Stop playing.

By the time Tinubu is done with us,you go beg Buhari to come back

Tinubu is in a haste to break Buhari's unenviable negative records. Ebola Tinubu is a big calamity to befall Nigeria. PEPT should save our country by getting rid of Ebola on Wednesday.

Thanks. By the way, I'm Igbo and this is my real name. I had a rethink about the historic role of the Igbo in Nigeria when I stumbled across some of the history and took the time to read it.

There will be no referendum because it will require a vote of the National Assembly and the PEOPLE of Nigeria, including the Igbo by the way, do not want the country to be broken up. Yes, you read it right....my Igbo people DO NOT want to secede from Nigeria. The Igbo people will REJECT secession if they vote on it. That's a fact but no Igbo will ever admit to it.

The governments of Nigeria always do what the people of Nigeria want them to do. Over valued naira, nationalized oil & gas industry, public ownership of land, it's all done because the people want it that way. THE PEOPLE of Nigeria are generally stupid, selfish and greedy. Nigeria continues to exist as a criminal, socialist State of brigandage because THE PEOPLE want it to exist as exactly that kind of nation.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

IbeOkehie:
Thanks, I understand your sentiments and agree with you to a large extent, especially on the bolded part about repentance and remorse. I've told my fellow Igbo the same and all I've gotten is curses and invectives. Believe it or not, most of my people still hold up Chukwuma Nzeogwu as a hero. An immature, petulant murderer. It's really baffling because he's one of the biggest causes of whatever travails the Igbo suffer in Nigeria today.

Most Nigerians don't even understand the extent of Igbo perfidy in Nigeria, it stretches back at least to the 1940's. Frankly I don't know if Nigerians just DELIBERATELY ignore their history or what, I don't get it.

The average Nigerian university graduate will look up and tell you the sky is yellow and the capital of Canada is Cairo and stand on their claim like their life depends on it. It's like the election of Muhammadu Buhari to the Presidency, it was ECONOMIC SUICIDE to vote for that man given his PUBLIC OFFICE RECORD, I said it at the time but surprisingly most of my friends and family disagreed, including most of the Igbo among them.

Please don't be annoyed. I want to ask...would you be open to the secession of the Igbo from Nigeria? I'm not advocating secession or continued unity, just trying to understand another train of thought.

Thanks.

IbeOkehie:
What does this mean?

Care to clarify so I don't impute any meaning that you didn't intend?

Thanks.

If Aguiyi Ironsi opened the gates of hell in the 6 months he was in office, and you Nigerians never managed to close the gates in more than 50 years since he was killed, and even managed to make it worse, then Nigeria was destined to be hell anyway, which it is

gidgiddy:
And those who took over from Ironsi, did they do any better with the structure or make it far worse?

Yujin:
Meanwhile, here's Gowon's decree 14 and 15.
He is the one who abolished the regional system, appropriated exclusive power to himself and created more states in the north thereby giving them more seats in the House of Assembly. Gowon is the culprit here.
Cc. MT

Yujin:
Can you show me which section exactly abrogated the regionalism practiced at the time? Show exactly where he appropriated the resources of the regions and decided that he will be sharing allocations to whatever new things he created.
I'm waiting for you o.

Yujin:
I asked for the exact words contained in Aguiyi's Decree 34 but you're giving me commentary by another person who might have interpreted it wrongly.
I ask again, provide the exact decree Aguiyi Ironsi enacted and make sure you read it yourself so we can discuss it very well. I'm waiting for you.

Yujin:
Provide proof to your claims. Don't cite any decree just post the content of the decree so we can read where and how he changed it. If you fail to do so, then you're a big liar and should never be granted audience.

creativehubb:
I have been abroad severally, na poor village people abroad be like heaven to. Why will I go abroad to live and suffer when I do my business here, make money, have maids, have helps. Most of those that come here to brag about being abroad are poor people, the poverty has messed their mentality up. Those are the people perpetuating the modern day slavery. It's sad because people from all over the world travel, but these clowns will make it seem like all Nigerians are leaving Nigeria, lol.

gidgiddy:
This is how Nigeria should have been structured, seperate countries but contributing to a central government

creativehubb:
Mumu, big men dey send their children abroad remain here, because they do business, and make enough money that you slave your life away for over there. Lots of my family and friends travel for holiday, business, and just for visits. You poverty stricken economic immigrants no want us to hear word

Maybe na poor people full where you run away from, but I am in Lekki Lagos, na rich people I dey see here. No glory in doing peasant jobs abroad... enjoy your abroad in peace, don't just spoil our image there. I wonder why you people think everyone's dream is to travel out and serve white people like slaves...if you are doing menial jobs at 40 years na suffer you dey.

Na you dey use hardship do nyanga not me, after washing plate and doing nonsense, you will go oppress your wretched village people

creativehubb:
Go and hustle, eat, sleep and die. I don't need to work like a horse and earn like a rat like you to live good. Na your village poor people you go use abroad pose for. Living on the bottom of the good chain and still bragging

creativehubb:
You are still a poor man in the UK living in a 450pounds house. The thing is, poor people don't know some average Nigerians make more than 3 million naira a month from businesses and services right here in Nigeria, and they don't have to work their ass off, pack shit and be treated like a second class citizen. In the UK you are at the bottom of the food chain, but as a poor man you were in Nigeria, you are compensated by seeing white people and fine environment around you. That your salary for UK wey dey make you feel funky...do you have 3000 pounds left a month after paying all your bills?

Don't think everyone is desperate and poor like you were in Nigeria, most of una, na village una from travel, that's why the small foreign exchange dey ginger you

I thought you were doing good, till I hear 450pounds house, na poor man area be that, in London selfcon or studio is from 600 pounds upwards monthly, and you will pay security deposit. No pride in slaving your life away, so many others make so much more with their brains. As una dey travel go help UK do their menial and hard jobs that their people refuse to do, na so others dey come back to Nigeria, after the neo enslavement tire them.

Gerrard59:
That man (MT) actually has the British passport and is a bonifade supporter of the APC. So don't be surprised. He has actually lived and worked abroad, so I don't understand the animosity he has towards others whose lives have been terrible in Nigeria in doing the same.



It's funny how he calls others economic migrant when he was one, attained naturalisation and now kicks against them doing the same thing he did almost twenty years ago.

The Colloquium was held in Abuja to mark the 25th anniversary of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama as a SAN

Mary Odili is a retired Justice of the Supreme Court

Olanipekun SAN and Fagbemi SAN (AGF) are Senior lawyers representing Bola Tinubu and APC respectively, at the PEPT

EXCERPTS OF THE SPEECH BY RETIRED JUSTICE MARY ODILI
This Colloquium and book launch in honour of Chief Joe-Kyari Gadzama SAN upon the attainment of 25 years as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria is an epochal achievement.

It is no doubt appropriate that the theme is: "The Nigeria of our dreams, a call to the Patriots". I say so in the light of the prevailing situation in Nigeria as a result of the 2023 General Elections which has generated a lot of storm necessitating the kind of conversation which we are about to indulge in as there seems to be moved to throw the nation into chaos or conflagration.

This may be brought about by some individuals and groups who fanning the ambers of hatred, bigotry and tribalism fails to see the possible outcomes of the utterances without caution that are been thrown around.

It is human to feel cheated or having the short end of the stick but one who is not declared the winner at any electoral contests, such emotions however grieved does not justify bringing the roof down, the roof of our nation.

The reason is simple, that in such an eventuality, that aggrieved person may not be spared as the commotion that could ensue will be like an unguided missile which could land anywhere and upon anyone.

Therefore, in ventilating our point of view and facts at the electoral tribunals or other courts, a sense of responsibility from all parties is demanded. The situation does not call for the blackmail of the judges or the posting of speculatory hypothesis giving them such a life of their own which run riot and accepted by the hapless and innocent in the society as the truth.

Knowing the quality of the participants at this Colloquium and I am happy that professional and those who are well-equipped in litigation matters or electoral disputes, Chief Olanipekun is a master and our Attorney-General recently sworn-in, these are experts.

I am confident that having such persons here including our chief host Chief J K Gadzama there is confidence that at the end of the day, a resetting of the mind will be taking place and we will keep things in perspective in the full Knowledge that elections are seasonal and litigations relating thereto.....

UnfairLife7:
At least a cleaner live a better life when they return to Nigeria than even Banks managers. I have few ones like that who relocated to do menial jobs and they're big men in Nigeria.

osothermal:
Some cleaners in the UK earns approximately 23million naira per annum.

Menclothing:
Good one they have suck our Economy most people sell houses to travel paying fees of 40,000 pounds is not easy

Bluntemperor:
I love the ways you analysed it.
But let me ask questions here:
What is the Difference between the Nigerians Japa and the Chinese and Indian Japa?
While most Nigerians felt that,once they Japa,they would not have anything to do with Nigeria ,the Chinese and India are always Coming back to their Country to replicate the same Innovations and Technologies they have acquired!
So,why are Nigerians acting/ behaving to their Country this way?
Can there be Solutions to all these manners of behaviours?
Can the Leaders lead these NIGERIANS back to a better life at home?
Remember that there were some decades that the Chinese were riding bycicles only in their Continent then! But they stole most of the Western Secrets and replicate them in China and Indian Experts are doing same!
But,why is our own different?
