Nigeria a country of hypocrites

We know but just restrict that madness to the night clubs and other accursed joints. We should not be quick to copy trash from the depraved and Godless western civilization. We are only interested in copying their technology with which they have used in improving basic living standards. We are not interested in that ticket to hell.

Pls send to okwudiliogbuefi@yahoo.com. I am interested.

Where are those making mouth that Onnoghen won't be convicted? This is not PDP era.

Buhari doesn't take nonsense.

We told you guys, we saw this coming.

Calm down, we all know this was a script written since months ago. It will not stand proper judicial scrutiny because we all know that the CCT is not an independent court. This ruling will be thrown away eventually by the appeal or supreme court at the end of the day.

Stalwert:
Only an idiot will complain about Kano elections and turn around and hail Wike murderers elections. It is obviously a manipulation, like most SS and SE elections, they simply write what they feel like. While other parts of Nigeria are insisting and defending the sanctity of the ballot, they punish misgovernace, SS and SE are sniffing PDP butt to their underdevelopment. I hope the courts reject this horrible precedence and end the rule of a cultist muderer.

Take heart. We understand your pain.

How has the annexing of all those positions helped to improve the economic fortunes of the north! It has not stopped the north from retaining the unenviable position of the poverty capital of the country. Those positions just serve the economic interests of the individual occupying those positions. Ask people of Kwara and Bauchi states how Saraki's senate presidency and Dogara's speakership favoured their individual states or regions. Ndigbo cannot be bothered because they control the most important tool, they control the hundreds of thousands of businesses spread all over the country with which they wield enormous economic power.

O to ge... campaign in Lagos...

let us start it now

Yes o!

This is a very useless article which seeks to misinform and further confuse the uninformed. The article makes no mention of votes inflation by the APC to favour themselves and voter suppression in PDP stronghold's using the security agencies and APC thugs. They also ignored the deliberate disenfranchisement of millions of voters in the SE by INEC through deliberate sabotage of the smart card readers. While voters in APC strongholds in the north were allowed to vote without smartcard readers, millions were disenfranchised in the SE/SS.
This article is just as useless as the government that paid for it.

onatisi:
So that the trend may continue ? Let him go to court and expose all the evidences he has ,then if the evidences are strong and valid enough ,let's see how the law court would wave it aside and tell the whole world he is wrong.
We can't just allow madness to continue all in the name of peace ,that means we are not leaving or setting any good example for future generations

Good point.

The supreme court will have the final say on this matter, everyone should exercise patience.

Why is the APC afraid of judicial scrutiny? Why are they all of a sudden preaching about the need for Atiku to make the call. Let's all be patient and wait for the judicial scrutiny of these suspicious result, especially those from some of the northern states. At least, it will give all of us to know how true the assertion that Mr President has integrity is. Let's us all stop still unpatriotic call for Atiku not to go to court.

Donmedra:
Nobody thought Oshiohmole could win Edo 2007 governorship at the court after PDP was declared winner, it took some time before oshiomole finally won.

If Atiku presses hard enough with overwhelming evidence in the court of law, how likely will the result be in his favour?

He will win. 7-man panel of Supreme court justices can save our democracy and the rule of law. The evidence is overwhelming.

When these foreign interests decide to place a series of sanctions including embargo on the purchase of our crude oil, the hunger and economic hardship that will set in will get Nigerians on the streets in a popular mass action against the illegitimate government. Nothing can be more illegitimate than to strategically disenfranchise selected regions of the country through deliberate supply of bad smartcard readers plus intimidation by the security forces to arrive at a predetermined electoral result. The country indeed deserves sanctions and let us know where these APC NGOs will get the dollars to continue to bake the national cake.

Messi and Ronaldo were not being asked to pay tax to a government where a frog-eyed thief has the state coffers effectively in his pocket.

This election is going to be a census to determine the population of idiots in the electoral register. This is because the total number of votes Buhari gets in the February 16 elections equals the number of idiots in the register.

Thunder fire all of them.

The biggest corruption is disobedience to the rule of law. Buhari by his action is the most corrupt person in Nigeria right now and this his illegal action will not stand. He has taken the poisoned chalice.

ct2:
you can go to court

Nobody is going to any court, we are now officially under anarchy and everything goes. Nobody will refer to any constitution in their action moving forward. Buhari has taken the poisoned chalice and will face the consequences.

seunmsg:
This is not a dream bro, this is reality. Onnoghen is gone. If he’s not satisfied, he should simply go to court.

Buhari should also go the whole hog and suspend the national assembly. He has basically suspended the constitution.

seunmsg:
He will be arrested and bundled before the tribunal like a common criminal

The CCT does not have such powers and any such ruling remains a nullity. Nigeria is a country under a constitutional order and not under Buhari order.

hisexcellency34:
No one is above the law, be you the President, CJN or even Senate President. If the NBA President and CJN are guilty, they should be made to face the music.

If Buhari too is guilty, Nigerians should kick him out next month

According to Oshiomole, APC looters are above the law, so stop all these hypocrisy about fighting corruption because Nigerians know that it is more of fighting against all perceived opponents or those with dissenting / independent views.

seunmsg:
Shameless Atiku. Nobody bought his silly excuse. Nigerians are not fools, we can’t be deceived.

The shame should go to your Buhari who kept away from the debate completely for fear of the impending humiliation he would have suffered. Atiku has however made himself available to spar with Buhari whenever he is ready, though we know Buhari would always request for expo, just as was the case in the Kadaria interview/ town hall meeting.

kahal29:
Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) Chairman Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) on Wednesday explained why Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen’s assets non-declaration charge cannot first be determined by the National Judicial Council (NJC).

In a statement, the eminent professor of law, citing constitutional provisions, argued that not every offence committed by a judicial officer must first be brought before the NJC.

He added: “By the very logic of the powers of the NJC, cases arising out of a breach of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act and the Code of Conduct provision in the Constitution cannot come before the NJC.

“If the NJC first decides the matter before the defendant is arraigned in court or at the Tribunal, what happens if the NJC finds the defendant liable and removes him from office as a Judge? In that case, he ceases to be a Judicial Officer as well as a Public Officer.

“Can he, therefore, be tried as a public officer before the Code of Conduct Tribunal? The answer is no, because he is no longer a public officer.

“The extant provisions of the Constitution and the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act would be rendered nugatory by a prior NJC involvement.”

The PACAC chairman faulted arguments that the prosecution ought to comply with the Court of Appeal decision in the case of Nganjiwa vs. F.R.N.

He said: “It should be noted first that this judgment contradicts the clear provisions of the Code of Conduct as established in the Constitution which gives the Code of Conduct Tribunal jurisdiction over all public officers, including the Chief Justice of Nigeria. (See 5th Schedule, Part One, of the 1999 Constitution).

“Moreover, the Court of Appeal in Nganjiwa’s case was directing its judgment to a judicial officer committing an offence in the process of carrying out his duties as a judge in a court namely: demanding bribe from a party to the case before him.

“Therefore, the ratio decidendi in this case is much narrower in scope than is being touted by our all mighty Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs). Filling an Assets Declaration Form is totally outside the ambit of a judicial officer’s work. It applies to all public officers.

“If one may ask – should a drunken judge behind a car steering wheel kill an innocent pedestrian, will the offence be taken before the NJC, before the police can act on the crime?

“Indeed, inspite of its defects, the Court of Appeal judgment in the Nganjiwa’s case expressly limited reference to the NJC only to cases of a judicial officers’ misconduct in court whilst exercising his authority as judge in case before him in court.

“According to the court: ‘It must be expressly stated that if a Judicial officer commits theft, fraud, murder or manslaughter, arson and the likes, which are crimes committed outside the scope of performance of his official functions, he may be arrested, interrogated and prosecuted accordingly by the State directly without recourse to the NJC. These classes of criminal act are not envisaged and captured by the provisions of paragraph 21, Part One of the Third Schedule.’

“This demonstrates the hollowness and invalidity of the argument that every offence committed by a judicial officer must first be brought before the NJC, before the law enforcement agencies can entertain it.”

Besides, Sagay believes that the NJC cannot be expected to be fair in Chief Justice Onnoghen’s case.

“Almost all the Senior Advocates of Nigeria have argued that even in a case involving the breach of the Code of Conduct, for which the law has already made express provisions, the matter shall be taken to the NJC rather than to the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

“They can’t be serious. They must obviously be speaking tongue in cheek. Even a baby, three months old, must realise that no one can get justice against the CJN at the NJC.

“The CJN is not only the Chairman of the NJC, he is also the appointor of 20 out of the NJC’s 23 members. The CJN is the NJC.

“Only a grossly ignorant man or an extremely mischievous one could seriously suggest that a matter involving the CJN should be brought before the NJC for adjudication.

“Therefore, the whole idea of taking the present case to the NJC is a nonstarter, for that would make the CJN the Chief Judge of his own case – a clear violation, not only of the Constitution, but also of a long standing common law principle coming all the way from MAGNA CARTER in the year 1215,” the PACAC chairman said.

Sagay was of the view that the substance of the charge against Chief Justice Onnoghen “is deliberately being abandoned by the SANs and some other lawyers.”

“Why is Nigeria such a Theatre of the Absurd? Today, we are only talking about preliminary objections, interim injunctions, challenge of jurisdiction, wrong procedure, etc., etc.

“Nobody is talking about the substantive issue any longer. That is now lost in the sands of time.

“Did he do it? Did he not do it? The questions we should all be asking are contained in the front page of The Nation Newspaper of Tuesday 15th January, 2019: Did the CJN fail to submit a written declaration of all his assets and liabilities within prescribed period of three months after being sworn it?

“Did he omit to declare a domiciliary (US dollar) account No. 870001062650 maintained with Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria Limited? Did he falsely omit to declare a domiciliary (Euro) account No. 93001062686 maintained with the bank?


“Did he falsely omit to declare an e-Saver Savings (naira) account No. 5001062963 maintained with the bank? Did he falsely fail to declare naira Account 010001062667?”

Sagay advised Nigerians not be distracted by what he called a vicious and fraudulent campaign intended to sacrifice the substance and justice of the case on the altar of technicalities, adding that the truth must not be the first casualty in the matter.

He can be suspended and go for his trial with CCT. Under suspension, he still remained a public officer but under suspension. This is just a failed attempt to confuse Buhari's uninformed followers the more. The NJC remains the body who can investigate and recommend for trial.
