lol.. U need go see T.B joshua to give you the kinda Jim iyke's deliverance.

The Increased power supply and refineries operation isn't Buhari's doing indeed..buh the fear of Buhari turned things around. The power sector improved because they feared Buhari won't continue with its privatization. So they are doing everything posssible to make him believe in the concept.

Refineries on the other hand, initially(during GEJ's regime) were said to begin functioning by next year. Now, its a different song. Don't u sense anything? undecided That's the fear of PMB for u cool
You know better than PMB himself that said that?

Actually, the two cases are different. The elected chairmen desired some prayers from the PH court but since Justice Akannbi was wasting time and time was of an essence, they decided to go to Yenogoa to seek an order that will restrain them form being removed.
In the eyes of the court in PH, The elections ought not to have held...............APC has/on the verge of appealing this.
In the eyes of the court in Yenogoa, These LG chairmen were constitutionally elected and shouldnt be removed at all till the case before it is done with.............am not sure if PDP has appealed this.
A superior court decision is needed and fast.
Exactly, the 2 cases are different..

One from before the election, the other was initiated after the election..

In our youthful days we were made to understand that one can appeal or overturn an appeal court judgement in a high court does that apply to the industrial court too
A judgement of a court can only be overturned by a higher court

An Appeal Court judgement can only be overturned by the Supreme Court..

It is not for anyone or government to determine which court order to disobey or obey for whatever reason. Its also not ouduty to interpret the laws of the land as we deem fit. The courts will determine such. At the NIC, am sure the opposing camp would have raised the issue of jurisdiction but the court in its wisdom saw no credence in such and went ahead to make a declaration not once but twice now.
Its left for a superior court to determine if indeed the NIC erred or not. Pending this, the decison is valid and must be obeyed.
Considering the confusion these two equal jurisdiction courts have given therby causing confusion, am suggesting that the LGs be sealed up completely and allocations withheld pending when a superior court (Federal court of Appeal) make her own declaration. grin grin
Your are right.. But this comment below is what I believe happened.

Because the Judgement sacking the LG Chairmen was given on Friday. It's not possible to file a suit opposing the judgement today and securing this judgment on the same day..

I have a feeling this case was from a suit the LG Chiarmen filed against RSG when wike first tried to sack the LG Chairmen. Which is clearly a different case from the one the High Court Ruled last week.
We need a copy of this judgment

Exactly..

So this judgment by the NIC can be disobeyed on the basis that it doesn't have the power to set aside the judgement of a High Court considering that this is an electoral case not a labour case that falls within its exclusive jurisdiction.

BREAKING: Court reinstates elected LG chairmen in Rivers state

Reports reaching DAILY POST has it that there has been a new twist to the power tussle in Rivers state as a National Industrial Court in Yenagoa has ordered the immediate reinstatement of elected Chairmen of 22 Local government areas in Rivers state.

The Court also ordered the Inspector General of Police to enforce the directive with immediate effect.

The 22 Local government Chairmen under the auspices of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria, ALGON had approached the National Industrial court to obtain an order restraining the Rivers state government “and its agents from dissolving” them.

Recall that a Federal High court in Port Harcourt presided over by Justice Lambo Akanbi had set aside the Local government election that ushered in the 22 Chairmen.

Details soon…

The National industrial court is equivalent to a High Court.

And a high Court cannot set aside the judgement of another high court..

Only the court of Appeal can do that..

there is no law in the electoral act which makes it mandatory for inec to give register to risec for an election to be conducted. The case before the court had nothing to do with where or when risec got the voters ' register. They could have had a copy all this while, they could have gotten the voters register from Abuja. No law says that the criminal gesilia kan' s rivers state inec must be the one to give them the register.
Check out this excerpt from the link below

We are to compile, maintain and update on continuous bases a register of voters which also by virtue of section 15, we are
also obliged by law to give to political parties who apply to the commission after the payment of the pre-requisite fee, we give them the certified true copy.

In all the 36 states of the federation with respect to local government election, SIECs are expected to liase with INEC state offices to collect the certified true copies of the register for the purpose of elections.

that status quo ante means 'inec do not release the voters' register to risec', it does not mean 'risec, do not conduct local government elections'
If INEC didn't release voters register to RSIEC, what did RSIEC use to conduct the election.. Another Illegality..

bakila:
Why didnt the Federal High Court strike out the matter when the Jurisdiction of the Court was challenged? Any person concerned with such matters know that the purpose of going to that Court is the order to maintain the "status que ante bellum". The Judge ought to had refrained going deeply into a matter it has no Jurisdiction. Anyways Wike should approach the Federal High Court again.
The court of Appeal hasn't ruled against the court in the matter of Jurisdiction. Even if it does, the Court won't strike out the case. it'll rather transfer it to the state high court.

The court adjourned and asked all parties to maintain "status quo ante" pending the conclusion of the jurisdiction suit. But RSIEC disobeyed the court.

I agree with you that the only reason PDP went to court was to stall the election. And they achieved it with the help of APC's jurisdiction suit.

If APC had pursued a quick resolution of the case, maybe the court would've ruled in their favour.

Wike don't need the court right now.. By Monday, the policemen will leave the LG councils

bakila:
The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to determine the validity of elections into Local Government Council of a State or the action of RSIEC. The ancillary issue of voters register from INEC does not make INEC the main party in such a suit. Its like a High Court nullifying a Governor's election because the tenure relates to a state where it is situated, that WILL BE MISSING IT COMPLETELY.
PDP did not approach the Court to stop RSIEC but to stop INEC from releasing the Voters Register to RSIEC (I hope this answers your jurisdiction question). APC quickly challenged the court's jurisdiction in the court of appeal to stall the case.

The court ruled that the "Status quo ante" be maintained. A rule RSIEC disobeyed thereby making the whole election illegal.

Even if the Federal High Court doesn't have jurisdiction, that's not enough reason for RSIEC to disobey the court.

Where did a Federal High Court conjure powers to dissolve Local Governments which are subject to the Laws made by a House of Assembly on both election and management . The Judicial rasality is obvious and it will be rubbished at the court of appeal. The police have the powers to prevent a breakdown of Law and Order.
You are missing it..

The federal high court has jurisdiction on matters involving federal government agencies. The Local government election involves INEC because INEC has to release the voters' register to RSIEC. And the court ordered INEC not to release the register and ordered RSIEC to stand down from conducting the election until the hearing in the case is completed.

INEC obeyed the order but RSIEC disobeyed the order to maintain "status quo ante". The Court only cancelled the election on the basis of RSIEC disobeying the court and rightly so.

As for the jurisdiction, I'll let the lawyers decide. But in my opinion, Since the Election involves INEC which is a federal government agency, the Federal High Court has jurisdiction

Because they are suppose to remain in office until the court of appeal or supreme court gives the final judgement, this is how it should be and not for Wike to hurriedly constitute a caretaker chairmen...
Stop Making a fool of yourself. The judgement of a court must be obeyed until a higher court overrides that judgement.

If I court sentences you to prison, you'll have to appeal the judgement from a prison. That is the law my friend

Turkey was never a Christian country. Turkey is a modern Republic which was formed in 1923, prior to which it was the Ottoman empire (third largest empire in the history of mankind). The state religion of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was Islam, but ALL other religions were tolerated. Subjects had the privilege to retain their religious beliefs but had to pay taxes if they were not Muslim. The Turks arrived in waves into Asia minor dating from the 9th century AD forward and adopted Islam under Arabic rule. Prior to their contact with Islam the religion of the Turks (there were and still are dozens of different tribes) was a shamanistic based nature religion that worshipped Tanri the Celestial God. With the demise of the once mighty Roman empire Christianity withdrew from the Anatolian mainland territory into Thrace or further into Europe. Since true Islam does not prosecute other religions, Christians, Jews and other religions have traditionally existed to the present day within modern Turkish society. Turkey was NEVER predominately Christian.

Constantinople was the capital of the early Christian church at a time. There was a conflict whether rome or Constantinople is the true capital of the Catholic Church.
