Pride is messing with your comprehension ability. Supreme Court 'ruling' automatically becomes law. That's what the poster said. Is he wrong? Stop moving the goalposts up and down.

Sc interpretation (judgement) is a validation of an existing law.

It is not a new law !

So many ignoramuses on this thread.

Queensfield:
Stop sounding like an illiterate pls. Your comment is making me to laugh. You can at least Google. Since the supreme Court has the power of judicial review, it can override and nullify the laws of Even the national assembly. They make laws and it's called judicial precedents

Now that you have googled, could you please share your findings.

Read what ChatGPT had to tell you.

You are the one sounding like an illeterate.

If legislatures pass a new law and it clashes with the position of the constitution. If someone takes up the case and approaches the Supreme Court, it has the power to override the new law because it clashes with the existing laws in the constitution.

The constitution is supreme.

Overriding a law does not mean the Supreme Court is allowed to make new laws. It means the sc court defends the existing position of the law in our constitution.

Why are you struggling with the basics?

Assetosky:
The issue of female children having a share of their family properties in Igbo land,got to the supreme, and the supreme Court ruled in favor of female children. Isn't that pronouncement a law now? Please educate me

That’s not a new law.

While adjudicating on the matter, both litigant and defendant cited some section of the constitutions and bye law to support their arguments. They interpreted these laws to favour their cases.

Then the Supreme Court sides with either the litigant or defendant and acccept the interpretation of the law of either the litigant or defendant. The Supreme Court affirmed that the side that won the case correctly cited relevant existing laws and interpreted them correctly and judgement was passed.

It was not that the Supreme Court made a new law. NO

mastermaestro:
Your arrogance is nauseating. I spit on it!

Stop ranting.

I asked you a simple question. Cite any case where any court in the world , not only Nigeria, makes a law.

You refused to send any reference here simply because it is non existence.

There are separation of powers. Legislatures make law while the court interpretes the law. No one can usurp the role of the other.

Learn!

johntolu:

In theory, no.
Constitutionally, the only role of the Supreme Court is to interpret law, not make it. In practice, as someone said, they kind of do.
Also, Congress could either modify or pass a law that contradicts/supersedes the Supreme Court decision, but only under some circumstances.
The recent Supreme Court judgment on the financial autonomy of Local governments, in Nigeria, automatically becomes a law, irrespective of the provisions of the 1998 Constitution, unless the National Assembly reverses the decision by passing a new bill into Law.

You are wrong with the bolded.

It was not a new law. It has been always been in our constitution.

Humans tend to interprete laws in a ways to suit themselves. That’s why we have courts to interprete the laws in a way the drafter of the constitution meant.

I still repeat, no court in the world can make any law. They can only interprete existing laws. Making law is the sole prerogative of the legislatures.

DeLaRue:
Social study is different from Advanced legal theory in jurisprudence and Constitutional law.

A Supreme Court decision is effectively a law. It is even more powerful than the actual law made by the national assembly.

I just asked you a simple question.

Provide a reference to support your position that SC is exempted to make laws.

Elliotwaveforec:
The SC is an exception! All past rulings of the court are laws.

Stop arguing.

There is no exception for the Supreme Court to make law. That is like asking Supreme Court to usurp the position of the house of assemblies.

And if you still want to argue, show us just one reference which supports SC making laws.

This is a basic social study. You need to go back to the basis.

Any court , including SC only interpretes laws.

Elliotwaveforec:
Supreme Court can make laws! All decided cases at the SC is a law!

No court makes law.

The function of the court is to interprete laws.

Both the state and federal House of assemblies make laws.

I have said it many times, the Governors are the really evil of this country.

So selfish and reckless. See them attacking the Supreme Court, which is the apex court meant to interprete the law.

Most of the lawyers that are involved in this illegality ought to be derobed and their legal licenses withdrawn.

Supreme Court really needs to dig in and put its feet firmly on the ground.

I thought they said obi was exposed.

So, in the western world, the Government would look the other way after 35 children were dead, and some are still dying in the hospital.

This guy can never be president because he always attempts to sound politically correct. I don’t expect more anyway from someone who claims to take advice from a madman.

He is such a wicked soul for turning tragedy of this proportion to politics. He should have kept quiet when he has nothing reasonable to say. Must he talk on everything?

I pray he contests in the next election again, this time, his loss will be legendary.

INTEGRITYA1:
He said, “The DPO told me that one of the children confessed to stealing two broilers and some crates of eggs. I met the broilers and the eggs at the station. The children were eight in number. He told me the children said I was their gang leader, which I denied.

Either of these is what will likely played out and thorough investigation supposed to have revealed the truth

1. The guy committed the robbery but not armed as they make it looked but added it in order to crucified him.

2. He was innocent of that particular scenario but of questionable character. (In the report he said the complaint was his uncle and promised to withdraw the case after the family meeting was held because of that issue, but still went ahead to testify against him)

The judge sentenced him to death not just because of robbery charges but because of the narrative that he was armed with cutlass and gun, meanwhile that was what they presented before the judge.

But in all honesty we don’t really what played out because we were not there and there is no meaningful report on quality investigations for us to know what really played for us to have fair judgment.

We should try to be objective and not to be emotional; most especially if comes to criminal cases.

We’ve seen a situation where by people of younger age actually engaged in criminal activities, fully armed and even killed people in the process. What did law says if someone actually committed criminal activities (That is why we can not just crucify the judge) unless if we are so sure that they lied against the guy.

But in all thank God for people’s outcry and the Governor intervention to save his life.

If truly he committed the crime, he must have learned his lesson and here opportunity to turn a new chapter

But if they lied against him, well thank God he didn’t go with the storm, do who do that will sure face the consequences sooner or later.

In all, let live a modest lifestyle and we the parents should be intentional about training our children and guide them right, we pray God guide each and everyone of us right and may we not be a victim.

I quoted a paragraph you typed, you were so correct:


“But in all honesty we don’t really what played out because we were not there and there is no meaningful report on quality investigations for us to know what really played for us to have fair judgment”

Kinzo0917:
If you read my earlier comment,I said Liverpool, Chelsea and Madrid are currently d best team in the world right now

He was humbled.He wasn't at any time standing or sitting above His disciples.
But what we have today is the complete opposite.may God continue to humble us in Jesus name amen

Yes he was so humble. Yet our pastors claim to preach in His name but they cannot bring themselves down to emulate his characters.

I have been asking myself this question for ages,. It now dawned on me that those who sought to kill Jesus Christ could not even identify Jesus Christ out of the 13 of them. They had to bribe Judas to identify Jesus Christ in their midst.

Why?

Not because they looked alike but they could not just identify him because no one was bigger than the others. Despite being God the Son, Jesus Christ considered them equal. Jesus Christ even washed the feet of the disciples!

What happens today is horrendous. Step into the church, you will identify the pastor and his wife by the size of the posh seat they sit on, while the rest of the congregation sits on plastic chairs

I would never understand why they distinguish themselves among the congregants. Jesus would rather sit on that plastic chairs and allow the congregants to sit on the posh chairs.

That's how humble our Saviour is. Are you humble like Jesus Christ? This is the one million dollars question

I'm open to be corrected in case I got if twisted.

He should know success is not a function of age.

He should stop self pity, dust himself up and learn sellable skill to build capacity.

He should look around him and provide solution to what people are struggling with in his neighbourhood. People only pay problem solvers.

If he has a degree, he shouldn’t allow that degree to be a blocker by stopping him from doing certain jobs. Most degrees earned these days can’t even solve current human problems. Such a waste.

Age can never stop you, you can only stop yourself.

Lagos to Ekiti was 6k last year, it's now 10k for 18 seater, 15k for Sienna. Could spiral to 20k next week.

Do you intend to pay for it ?

Rich4god:
Joke of a court...

Is there anyone who is following any rule or any court order in this country.

It is not a joke.

If any government agencies violate the order of the court, take them to court to enforce your right.

Kaa4:
Imagine the FRSC asking and enforcing car owners to replace fading plate numbers that was originally procured from them.

Instead of apologising for producing poor quality products, they making making Nigerians to pay for their deficiency.

One suggested I should be washing the plate number with LUX soap

Oh I was stopped by FRSC men who wanted to enforce fading plate numbers. I told them I wouldn’t pay the 3000 naira fine. I asked for the court option.

I never paid a dime.

Same way it is illegal for frsc to carry out enforcement on State road, according to court ruling

I can bet ex wife of oni is chilling inside a lavishly furnished hotel as we speak.

Different set of rules for the rich and the poor.

See here lies the trend in Nigeria.

You finish your Bsc, next year you go for your masters, how can you make the best of your masters?. Instead for them to work in the industry for a few years, then determine specific pathway where he wants to gain more knowledge, then go for masters in that area. That way, he can relate the practical work to what he is being taught at the masters level What do you then relate when you have zero work experience?
