Oil company... The level of impurities here is lower than what some people intentionally add to original palm oil because of money. Most people in the villages now don't use this method. It's machines they use now. In any case, my worry is the adulteration being perpetrated by unscrupulous elements in the society. Their acts are what causes much health challenges, not this act the lady is engaging in. I commend her efforts and her likes. They are the people producing original and healthy palm oil for us. God Almighty bless them in Jesus name.

Thank you very much my dear. Your comment is one of the best and most reasonable on this post. But people, especially all these indomie generation children on Nairaland, seem not to know anything about it.

Yyeske:
The case is not about Atiku's citizenship but his eligibility for presidency.
Go read up that section of the constitution

His eligibility to contest for presidency based on what? Pls answer me first before I respond further.

Yyeske:
You are getting it wrong, his Nigerian citizenship today is not the question but vying for the presidency is.
Was he or one of his parents or one of his grandparents on Nigerian soil as at midnight October 1st 1960?
Is one of his parents or one of his grandparents indigenous to any group as at same date?
Those are what he needs to prove, remember nobody is contesting that he's a Nigerian today after his people voted to become Nigerians on July 1st 1961

My dear, with due respect, it is you that are getting it wrong. You are quoting me out of context. You will agree with me that those questions you raised bother on his citizenship by birth as a Nigerian. Now the question is, first and foremost, which court in Nigeria is constitutionally empowered to determine those questions in the first place. I know that the questions you raised are the things he needs to prove. But where is the proper place for him to do that first? Is it at the Tribunal or the Federal High Court? Pls read section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution before you answer this question. For your Information, I am not saying that the Election Petition Tribunal cannot declare him ineligible to vie for the Presidency if it is established that he is not a citizen of Nigeria by birth. All I am saying is that if APC or any other interested person has any evidence to prove that Atiku is not a Nigerian citizen by birth, they should have, first and foremost approached the F.H.C to decide that question and pronounce Atiku a non-citizen by birth first, because that is the only court that is constitutionally empowered to do so. Then they can thereafter use it against him at the Tribunal if Atiku still went ahead to contest the election after having been pronounced a non-citizen by birth by the FHC. If I were the PDP and Atiku's Lawyer, one of the first things I will do is to challenge the jurisdiction of the Tribunal to entertain or determine that question which has to do with his citizenship by birth.

Tetehjewels:
I suggest you read the OP again 200 times so that you can be clear on what is contained therein

Atiku is a citizen of Nigeria in all respects which includes via referendum.

However, when it comes to eligibility to contest for a position as Presidency the same constitution that makes him a citizen breaks down the legal requirement for such as he is and that is for him to FIRST BE A CITIZEN BY BIRTH. Clearly Atiku isn't a citizen by birth but by referendum

This then becomes an electoral eligibility case and based on our constitution, he isn't eligible and the electoral Tribunal has the jurisdiction to rule in this regard

I think you should also read my own post again for 500 times so that you will be able to fully appreciate the points I made. For your information, I am not bothered about what the OP posted, but I just raised this point because it has much to do with the jurisdictional competence of the Election Petition Tribunal to determine the issue of Atiku's citizenship. The question is whether Atiku is a citizen of Nigeria by birth to qualify to be elected as a President of Nigeria? Which Court is exclusively empowered to determine that question in the first place? You and I know that the question of jurisdiction of a court to decide a matter is the very first thing the court or tribunal must deal with before into the main issue. You and I know that the Constitution by section 251 (1) (i) has made it abundantly clear that it is only the F.H.C that has the exclusive power to determine the issue whether Atiku or any other person is a Nigerian citizen or not. You and I know that apart from the F.H.C, nobody at all, be it APC, INEC, the Election Petition Tribunal or any other individual or institution whatsoever has the power to do so in the absence of a previous F.H.C judgment to that effect. You and I know that there has never been any F.H.C judgment declaring Atiku a non-citizen of Nigeria. There is no suit at all at the F.H.C challenging Atiku's Nigerian citizenship. So, if APC or anybody at all has any evidence at all to question or challenge Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria, they should have first of all, gone to the F.H.C to decide it and use the judgment as back up of their claim. The Election Petition Tribunal is NOT the proper court to determine that. That is my point and the Constitution is clear on it.

QuotaSystem:
There is no basis for argument.

Until the courts decide otherwise, Atiku Al-Younde Aboubacar was born Kameroonian & had no business ever being near Aso Rock.

Facts only.

My friend, it is not good for one to showcase his ignorance of the law to the public. You should know that this issue is a constitutional issue and the same Constitution provides for the court that is clothed with the exclusive jurisdiction to decide or determine that issue. It is not just any court or Tribunal that has the power to do so. So pls before you draw that baseless conclusion as you did above, take some moments to ponder on this write-up:
ATIKU'S PETITION: APC's OBJECTION TO AKITU'S QUALIFICATION TO CONTEST BASED ON QUESTION OF HIS NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP.
What are the chances of APC succeeding in its objections based on the ground of Atiku's Nigerian Citizenship?
Before we delve into answering this critical question, let us consider the relevant section of the Constitution of Nigeria that has to do with the Court that has the jurisdiction to determine the question of a person's citizenship in Nigeria. This is so because it is trite law that jurisdiction is the life wire to any proceedings in any court or tribunal. Any proceedings or judgment, no matter how good or how well conducted by any court or tribunal without jurisdiction is a nullity, as one cannot build something on nothing and expect it to stand. Having said that, the question now is: Which court has the exclusive jurisdiction or power to determine the question of citizenship of any person in Nigeria? In response to this question, let us consider the provision of section 251 (1) (i) of the the Constitution of Nigeria, 1999 as amended.
Section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution provides and I quote:
251 (1): Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Constitution and in addition to such other jurisdiction as may be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly, THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT (F.H.C) shall have and exercise jurisdiction to the exclusion of any other court in civil causes and matters relating to:
(i) Citizenship, naturalisation and aliens, deportation of persons who are not citizens of Nigeria, extradition, immigration into and emigration from Nigeria, passports and visas.
Now in view of the above provision of the Constitution, the questions that beg for answers are:
(1) Which court has the exclusive jurisdiction to determine or decide a person's citizenship in Nigeria?
ANS: The Federal High Court (F.H.C).
(2) Has the F.H.C ever been called upon by APC or anybody at all to decide or determine any question bothering on or relating to Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria?
ANS: No.
(3) Going by the provision of the above section of the Constitution, does the APC, the Election Petition Tribunal or any other person or institution has the power to declare or pronounce Atiku or any other person a non-citizen of Nigeria?
ANS: No, because doing so will amount to usurpation of the power or jurisdiction of the F.H.C.
(4) Can the Election Petition Tribunal now exercise the power to declare or pronounce Atiku a non-citizen of Nigeria?
ANS: No, it cannot.
In view of the above questions and answers, it is my humble submission that it is very wrong for APC to, at this stage, declare that Atiku is not a citizen of Nigeria, especially in the absence of any F.H.C judgment to that effect, and then uses it as a ground to question or challenge his qualification to contest the Presidential election. It is also very wrong for APC or any person at all to bring up the issue of Atiku's citizenship for the first time at the Election Petition Tribunal. This is because doing so is akin to asking the Election Petition Tribunal to determine or decide on Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria based on the evidence before the Tribunal. But unfortunately, the Election Petition Tribunal has no jurisdiction or power to determine that question in view of section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution.
Based on the above, I further submit that APC or any other interested person should have, first of all, proceeded to the F.H.C to challenge Atiku's qualification to contest the Presidential election based on the question of his citizenship in Nigeria. They should have even done that before the election took place, because an issue of that nature is a pre-election matter which the Election Petition Tribunal has no jurisdiction to determine. But this they failed to do. Therefore, APC's objections to Atiku's qualification on question of his citizenship is most likely going to fail, reason being that:
(1) They lack the power to declare Atiku a non-citizen of Nigeria without a supporting F.H.C judgment to that effect.
(2) The Election Petition Tribunal lacks the jurisdictional competence to decide or determine the question of Atiku's citizenship in Nigeria. It is only the F.H.C that has the exclusive jurisdiction to do so going by the provision of section 251 (1) (i) of the Constitution of Nigeria.

NgeneUkwenu:
We know...But according to the 1999 Constitution as amended, one can only qualify to be the President of Nigeria, if he is a citizen of Nigeria by BIRTH.

However, Atiku is a Nigerian citizen by Naturalization, having stayed in Nigeria for more than 10 Years.

So it is left to the Tribunal to determine if a cameroonian who had stayed in Nigeria for more than 10 years as the case of Atiku, can qualify to contest for the post of presidency.

So why is Atiku trying to preempt the Tribunal?

My friend you are talking nonsense and it appears you do not know the meaning of Nigerian Citizenship by birth. You don't read the law in isolation. Go and read section 25 (1) (c) of the same Constitution you are quoting and you agree with me that you are wrong in you own understand.

That they speak ur language or answer like names doesn't make them igbos.



American has British like names but that doesn't make them British.

In the same vain, I will be absolutely correct to say that there are no Yorubas in Kwara State and Kogi State. The fact that some parts of Kwara State and some parts of Kogi State speak Yoruba Language and answer Yoruba names DOES NOT make them Yorubas.

I'm beginning to feel some of you are only concerned about someone close to you hence your response.

Guy, you sure say you well at all? You speak so much like a big fool. Why do you allow your hatred for the man to becloud your sense of judgment? In as much as I know you went to school but I seriously doubt if you are educated.

SHUT UP! There is no place as Umunneochi in Abia State, you impostor! Also, what you have written here makes no sense!!

Pls bro get your facts right. There is a place called Umunneochi in Abia State. The guy is correct on that fact. Umunneochi is one of the Local Govt Areas in Abia State. It shares a common boundary with Okigwe in Imo State and also with Anambra State. If you are driving from Afikpo in Ebonyi State to Onitsha in Anambra State enroute Abia State University (ABSU) in Uturu, you will definitely pass through Umunneochi in Abia State unless you take another route. So, I agree with the person you quoted only on the fact of Umunneochi in Abia State. But I totally disagree with him on other facts in his comment.

My dear don't mind the olodo. Remember that he stated that he served there, which means he was a Youth Corper when he was there. But he was so quick to forget that Youth Corpers are usually treated with great hospitality and respect wherever they are serving because they are regarded as "Federal Government Children". Anybody who has served or who is still serving will confirm this.

Assembly of God indeed. Look at a "pastor's" daughter. Smh
These new generational Pentecostal churches should all be CLOSED.

Rubbish

Point of correction, Assemblies of God Church is not and can never be a new generation Church. For your information, Assemblies of God Church is the first and the mother of all Penticostal Churches in Nigeria. It has existed in Nigeria for nearly 100 years now. So please get your facts right before coming here to spew trash. Do not let ignorance and illeteracy ruin your poor life. Always try to read and do your research well so that you will not disgrace yourself any more in the public.

I thought you claim to be educated? But why are you talking like a market woman who has never seen the four walls of a primary 1 class?

My friend shut up your stinking mouth. You fool. You are reaping what you sowed for yourselves. You Northerners hated Jonathan so much that you never saw anything good about his government and your Northern political leaders used Boko Haram insurgence as a political weapon to destroy his government and prevent him from carrying out his good intention for the Nation. He made several attempts to crush Boko Haram but you all turned around and accused him of committing genocide against the North. You preferred protecting Boko Haram members simply because they are your brothers and they busy killing only Christians iniatially and you were happy about it. Now you are reaping what you sowed and you think can eat your cake and still have it. No way. It can't happen.

I can't just help but laugh after going through the comments here, most of the people commenting here are probably still in school and are still been cater for by there parents so they know little about marriage, what is the minimum wage in Nigeria? "18,000". Let me use teacher's as an example there are some states where they pay teacher's less than 50,000 and they still went ahead to marry and enroll there kids in private school's, to the OP you will not remain on that salary scale for life my advice to you is if the lady is the understanding type please go ahead and marry her.

Oooh! What an excellent comment. My brother you have said it all. What more can I say? This is the best comment so far on this thread.

OP, I can see you are a Yoruba movie addict. You find it difficult to watch other movies aside Yoruba movies. No wonder your post is so onesided.

babz007:
i think celestial church of Christ has the highest, every city, town you go, you will surely find one. which other churches do you know has lot of parishes?

That is not true. It is RCCG that has the highest number of parishes. If you go to the Eastern part of the Country, you will rarely see Celestial Church. But RCCG is like houseflies. You will see them in large numbers everywhere you go.

Anu ofia! Shut up there. I am not even sure u passed ur WAEC before joining the Army. No wonder u ar a disgrace to the Military. Pls do urself a favour by making a Lawyer friend to advise u appropriately & stop wallowing in ur stupidity & ignorance by believing dat subjecting a person to inhuman & degrading treatment is obeying the law. If I may ask u, which law ar u evn talking about? For ur info, if u dare try that rubbish with me, just pray I shouldnt get ur name & force Number, because if I do, that is the end of ur career in the Military. Not only that, I will sue the Nigerian Army & join u personally so that u will personally suffer the outcome of ur action because u acted ultra vires ur power.
