Mr Lawyer so you mean to tell me that the CCB can ignore the order of a valid FHC? Why didn't they go to the FHC and adduce reasons why Saraki should be put on trial as the FH requested?

You are trying to give pre-eminence to the ruling of the CCT because it favours your position.Dont forget the FHC Abuja is also a court of law

My Oga, I don't have any issue against Saraki, neither do I have any issue against you. What am saying is that FHC ABUJA or FHC anywhere in the country does not have power to stop the CCT from Sitting. That is the position of the Law. Let me use a familiar example. It is like a Dean of Faculty of Science issuing an Order that the Dean of Faculty of Law should not conduct exam. What we are saying is that the Deans are on the same level irrespective of the age of the individual holding that position. The only person that can issue an Order stopping the the Dean of Faculty of Law from doing anything is the VC or the The University Senate. So also we are saying the Only Court that can issue an Order that the CCT cannot but obey is the COURT OF APPEAL. QED.

SARAKI IS STILL IN HIS OFFICE DRINKING TEA AND YOU ARE HERE RANTING!!! I EXPECTED MORE FROM YOU FOOLS.ORDINARY COMMISSIONER OSINBANJO CANNOT DO MORE THAN A DEAD RAT.THE STUPID PROFESSOR OF LAW AGREED TO BECOME A DEPUTY TO A COMMON SECONDARY SCHOL DROPOUT!!! THAT MAN IS A DISGRACE TO PROFESSOPRS AND SANs EVERY WHERE

I have noticed your post, I want to come to a conclusion that (1). It is not that you like Saraki but the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Buhari is your die-hard enemy, thus Buhari's enemy is your friend. Also, anything Buhari does, whether good or bad, you have to attack it. (2). I have been active in this legal field for over a decade now, your argument on this issue has shown your ignorance and you are not familiar with the judicial system, so please stop exposing your ignorance. Even as a lawyer, if I don't have answer to a post, I can quickly go to google and seek answer. All you needed to do was to google code of conduct tribunal, you would have seen the ACT of National Assembly enacting it and in section 2 (4) and (5) as reproduced by someone above and that appeal from the CCT lies to COURT OF APPEAL, it also implied that it is ONLY the COURT OF APPEAL that can give an Order that the CCT would obey. By the way, you don't have to abuse people who hold different opinions from yours.

You are the BOMB. Many thanks. So we are expecting their Federal High Court Order restraining the CCT.

tuniski:
Apc deceiving themselves. Saraki has come to stay. To remove him requires impeachment by 2/3 majority. They won't get that saraki turning to buhari/apc nemesis. I am not his fan but, let due process continue to be followed. God bless nigeria.

There are other routes- Conviction and sentence makes it faster.

baralatie:
I don't see all these postulations happening!
it is either it (CCT) postpones this meeting till next seating!
Go to the FHC Chambers and sort this issue out and recovenes!

I disagree sir. Please note it is CCB (Organization ) and not CCT (Tribunal) that was summoned. It is like saying a Judge of High Court in Lagos summons a Judge of High Court of Osun. No judge can summon another except you are summoning the judge on his/her personal capacity.

Boss13:
Thank you for clarifying. I wonder the High Court Judge that is giving the restraining/Injunction order. Is he not in the capacity to inform the lawyers, who by the way are disgracing themselves, that CCT is a court on its own standing.

With due respect to his Lordship, I would not know whether he knew or raised this issue Suo Moto to the counsel to Saraki but I was so sure that he would not grant the Ex-Parte application. I mean how do you intend to stop a Tribunal Proceedings without putting all the Parties involved On Notice?

baralatie:
except the individual has a legal document not to!

I think it is an abuse of Court process for a Court to summon you and you appear telling the Court that you have an injunction restraining the Court from trying or inviting you. Except you had a case in a Court before hand and the same party in the case went to another court on the same cause of action.

baralatie:
gbam!

There is no Gbam. He does not have immunity. The best bet is for him to honour this invitation, appear at the CCT and let a crack team of lawyers handle his defence otherwise, he would be arrested/ or he runs away.

chukwudi44:
Saraki can as well ignore the CCT on the same premise of obeying the high court's order

A court can ignore another court's or tribunal's order but No individual can ignore a court's call most especially in a government that is ready to work. EXCEPT that person bolts out of Nigeria and stays outside until after the life of the government. The latter option may be better.

Hmmn

adadadon:
That's how you display ignorance ....
The constitution recognises the CCB has a court on its own which means a Superior court backed by the constitution. The same jurisdiction with a federal court and the high court can only have a persuasive effect not but binding effect.
The CCT is impari material to the FHC

Thanks for your information but please let me add that it appears some of our senior lawyers when they have practiced for a long period like 10,15, 20 years do forget the fundamentals of the court system. I learnt in my days as an Undergraduate (100L) that under the Nigerian Legal System, the HIGH COURT, FEDERAL HIGH COURT, SHARIA COURT OF APPEAL and ANY TRIBUNAL as well as the Newly Accredited by the Constitution- The INDUSTRIAL COURT are courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction. What that means is that none of those courts above can issue an order against one another. Appeal from all those courts go to Court of Appeal. So it is the Court of Appeal that can stop the CCT and you know, Saraki cannot head to Court of Appeal as a court of first instance- so the gimmick is go to FHC and if it does not work, on the foundation of the FHC Ruling, either party can now go to Court of Appeal and later to Supreme Court, thereby delaying the arraignment. The best bet is for the CCT to disregard the FHC order as is only persuasive and not binding.

FHC= Federal High Court
CCT = Code of Coduct Tribunal.

Saraki is weighing on the fact that there is no AGF for the court to restrain CCB.. .a single announcement from Buhari appointing an AGF would return this case back on track............

. Femi Falana is the AFG.

Nigerians are the toughest specie in this world. Take it or leave it.

This thread has been quiet. It is an inspiring thread and should not die. This is a thread that should be on front page permanently and not all these Linda Ikeji posing at the gate. No offence though.

One of the challenges we have is the Judiciary, I have had cases in court where we need the court to hear an application for the release of inmate detained unjustifiably by asking for Fundamental Right, the fastest you will get hearing from the court is 2- weeks and above, simply because the person involved is not a VIP or wealthy. Saraki was served on Wednesday and he already had the audience of another court that same day. If this is how our court operates normally, by now our society would have been better. If you are privileged to know anybody working in the Prisons Service, tell them I told you a lie, that 30-40 % of people in our prisons Nationwide are AWAITING TRIAL (some of them are innocent and only need the court to fast tract their hearing until the court sets them free), some of them spend decades in the prison without conviction and sentence just because the Court would be dragging on their issues. If the court gives this kind of speed (24 hours) to cases concerning the poor, then we would have a just society. By the way, I thought he should have filed a Preliminary Objection at CCT instead of Ex -Parte application in another court.

Why is OPC the first group issuing press statement? Abi na them do am.

ogb5:
This is the problem with the way they fight corruption in Nigeria. They only remember a politician is corrupt when he steps on big toes.

Ibori stepped on Obasanjo and Jonathan's toes and he was sent to the coolers, Alams moved with the wrong crowd and was impeached by Obasanjo and his looting was brought to the open.

Atiku stepped on Obasanjo's toes and he was turned into the face of corruption.

Now they are just remembering that Saraki is corruption personified just because he stepped on Tinubu's toes

At what point are we going to fight corruption just for the sake of fighting corruption?

The current strategy of only fighting political opponents and terming it fighting corruption will not lead us anywhere, it simply makes politicians to move camp to dominate party or camp and continue the looting and avoiding stepping on toes.

You are correct sir BUT whether corruption is fought using enemies as scapegoat or fighting it in its entirety, let us start somewhere.

What does he need all those properties for? For 9th or 10th generation!

Whats your phone number?

q


You can reach me on 08033061606 please. Many thanks.

I only gave the picture of the Estate as a whole so that your client can have a view of the wonderful environment.

I don't have pictures of the apartment.

The one of N22m is net while the one of N20m, the owner can accept N19m.

If the client likes the environment we can organize inspection.

Many thanks.

Moderators, please what are you guys doing about people who post irrelevant post in a thread? It should be checked now. Haba! What is politics got to do with carport for instance?

mrfolu:
Still searching

Boss, they say if the desirable is not available, the available becomes the desirable. He should not have left that Icell job.

He should have done asked for advance salary and pay for apartment near his office. For example from Agege to Ikeja is N50, sometimes N70 or N100 and commuting time is between 30 mins to 50 mins.

If he is unable to get around Orile Iganmu and he gets a good paying driving job in Ikeja, Ogba, Agege, please let him take it and strike a deal. They will give him advance salary to get an apartment and if he is honest, his original copy of driver licence can be used as a collateral.

I will note this thread in case I see something good.

Please get in touch. I need your assistance. Thanks.

Good. I will book this page for days when I would need such services.

Hello,

I have 3 bedroom flats in County Estate, by Pen Cinema, Agege. It is a wonderfully arranged Estate of 29 blocks of 3 bedroom flats.

I have a 3 bedroom with POP ceiling and A/C and neatly tiled for N22m.

I have another one with basic things in a flat for N20m.

Please speak to your client about it.

I lost my respect for Bakare long ago...



And for those of you christians who are always quick to condemn Pastor ORITSEJAFOR...




All I can say is that you do not know what you are doing.

Well said sir, however, some of us still respect him. He was given a brand new Rolls Royce for his 60th birthday, he rejected it because he said if he accepted it, it would amount to hypocrisy (preaching against something and doing it). Nobody has accused him of sexual escapades, at least I know about one or two Pastors that have been accused of sexual escapades in this nation, one of them was even rewarded heavily after the accusation. He does not have a jet or jets that would warrant him enjoying waivers from FAAN, NAMA (on behalf of FG) such that when FG is misbehaving they won't be able to talk. He is not perfect, he has not said he is perfect, we have not said he is perfect. In fact his favourite quote is '' the best among men is still a man, so please continue to pray for me''. What that means is that, even though you are MOG, you are still a man .You can make mistakes, when you do, admit and repent but don't come and tell us ''we will give a robust answer when the time comes''. Sir, when you need someone to look up to as a True Christian Leader in Nigeria, as at today oh (I don't know about tomorrow), Tunde Bakare will come ahead of the other pairs- take it or leave it.
NB. I am not saying it is bad as MOG to enjoy bounties from Government but if the bounties would colour your judgment, you better don't accept it.
