He is not. The King of Morocco has enough money to buy him, his family, his throne and his kingdom and still have enough to buy the Ooni of Ife and his kingdom.

All these local champions called Kings.

Samson is a guy I met two days before Valentine Day in 2014 at Shoprite. Though I had a boyfriend at the time called Kenny but Kenny told me he didn't believe in Valentine and turned down all my proposals for the celebration of the day. I didn't want to be left alone in the celebration hence I gave in to Samson' request. On Val day, Samson proved the man he is made of. He took me out to place I had never been before and I was indeed spoilt with gifts et al. Later in the night, he took me to a five star hotel and we had bath together. I wanted to make love to him in the bath but he resisted. After the bath, he told me that he would take my blood sample to confirm if I was HIV negative before we could make love. I didn't suspect anything so I obliged him the request. He brought out syringe, took my blood sample. He left me in the hotel room and went out with the sample. After few minutes he came, held me tight and kissed me so passionately. I responded and the light went off. It was such a beautiful experience and I felt I had gotten my kind of man. After few rounds of romantic sex, he told me you are HIV negative. He promised to make me his woman. The following day morning, Samson gave me100k and dropped me off. Two weeks after, I was admitted in the hospital and after several tests, nothing was detected in my body but I was emaciating and dying gradually. I was discharged and taken to Traditional home. It was discovered that I was hypnotized and my blood was taken for diabolical purpose. All these while, Samson was nowhere to be found. His phone wasn't reachable. After many rituals and sacrifices, I was restored. My parents sold almost everything to fight for my life. I regret not listening to Kenny.
My friends, know who you spend your Valentine Day with. Mysterious things do happen everyday. Some exploit such celebration period to unleash havoc on unsuspecting ones. I was a victim and I don't want you to be one.

Story for the gods

precisionindepth:
yes, its a crime to fart

fat and not fart

Is it a crime to fat??

They suld bury him with beer

Last week, a column in one of the UK national dailies narrated the story of a young man who broke into a house about two years ago while the residents were on holiday, and stole items worth about 400 Pounds, and he was never caught.

However, two years later, the man reformed his life on his own and decided to correct his wrongs. He went back to the house and confessed his crime to the residents and offered them a refund of the price of the items he stole (i.e. £400).

The residents refused to accept the money, and they called the police. The thief eventually coughed out £2,000 in refund and fines, and was sentenced to community service.

While some people praise the thief’s courage and called for a lenient sentence, many did not see any reason why one should be spared from the full consequences of one's crimes just by confessing the crime, and I’m of the latter view.

Recently, many Nigerians praise Jonathan for conceding defeat. Some people even go as far as suggesting that he should be considered for the coveted Mo Ibrahim’s Award for outstanding African leaders.

Me? I can’t help but relate Jonathan with the story of the thief above. I don’t see anything special about Jonathan’s acceptance of defeat because what were his options?

The thief had the option not to confess and he probably would never have been caught, but what were Jonathan’s options when it was glaring that he had lost despite his best efforts to massively rig in some states?

Yes, I acknowledge that it is rare that politicians concede defeat in Africa, but that’s where it ends; in my view, his concession was inconsequential. In fact, he did himself a big favour by saving himself and his family from getting the Laurent Gbagbo treatment, especially when the USA and UK had given him joint warning a day to the results’ announcement, not to subvert the will of the people.

Had he tried to contest the results of the election and plunged the country into chaos, he would have dug his grave deeper at the International Criminal Court or whatever court the African Union sets up. So, his options were really limited to concession, unlike the case of the thief.

For those who are still clogging our social media space with uncanny praises for Jonathan, please save your time and energy. We simply are not buying.

The memories of the thousands of our loved ones who have lost their lives because of Jonathan’s actions and inactions are still fresh in our minds. Our hearts are still bleeding from the wounds of our separation from the thousands of our mothers and children who have been abducted and are still languishing in Sambisa forest.

Many of our injured are still on their hospital beds, and millions are out there as refugees all over the Chad Basin, exposed to the elements. The billions of dollars that have evaporated without a trace from our national coffers could have actually changed the fortunes of our country, yet no one is behind bars because of it.

As far as I’m concerned, until Jonathan resolves the massive problems caused or aggravated by his administration in the few days he has in office, he will remain less “honourable” than the British thief who returned to his victims to compensate them.

Therefore, I would praise the thief a million times for returning to right his wrong before I get to praise Jonathan for simply acknowledging what cannot be changed, and he did it to save his neck.

As a complete man, you should know na

Abeg say the man enter ni abi na counselor he wan go 4?

We are waiting mr presy

Yes

In 2011, I was already in my village when INEC announced elections had been moved by 2 weeks. I didn't know
INEC did not consult me before postponing elections. I don't even want to be consulted by INEC-President Jonathan
INEC is an independent body and if INEC conducts this election poorly, it's on my head
People are not being fair to me over postponement of election, I do not decide the date for the elections
Few people are doing things for me i think are not the best, there must be a nation before you do what you want to do
I appointed Jega and if I think he's not good, I have the power by constitution to remove him
I've not told anyone I want to remove Jega
I don't see why we continue to doubt that elections will hold. Elections will hold!
Election is like any tournament, FIFA says March, later say April or May. The winning team will still win. No big deal
Let me reassure Nigerians that elections will be conducted in this country and a govt will be inaugurated on May 29th
We found it difficult to contain BH because we didn't get the necessary equipment and our neighbours were not too committed
Nobody is saying Boko Haram must be wiped out completely before they conduct elections
I had meetings with the President of Chad and he said before he can send troops the AU have to be involved
Is it by going to carry flags and singing around the world that we'll bring our girls back? Why use your international links negatively?
I cannot give a time frame that the Chibok girls will be rescued, I don't want to be quoted
I am more hopeful now than before on the Chibok girls
If you put a goat where yam is, it will eat it. If you put people where money is, they'll steal it
The word corruption we have abused it and it's not making so much sense. I did not say stealing is not corruption
A thief is a thief. Don't use the word corruption to cover stealing. Call the person a thief
We must not destroy Nigeria because of elections
I attend Muslim programmes like youth programmes
Nobody will go to war. Nigeria will remain Nigeria

‎Barely 12 days to the general elections, a suit has been filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja challenging the eligibility of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The plaintiffs, who are Prof. Tunde Samuel, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, Mr. Razak Adeosun and Yahaya Ezemoo, are pleading with the court to restrain Dr. Jonathan from contesting, putting himself forward and or accepting to contest for the office of President, Federal Republic of Nigeria at the 2015 presidential election.

The only defendant in the matter, which is already assigned to Court 7, is the President.

No date has been fixed for the hearing of the application, which was filed by a team of crack lawyers mostly Senior Advocates.

The counsel in the matter are Yusuf Ali (SAN), A. B. Mahmoud(SAN), Adebayo Adelodun(SAN), Sirajo Chedi (SAN), Dr. Tunji Abayomi, Prof. Wahab Egbewole, K.K. Eleja and A.O. Usman.

Six more Senior Advocates will join the team whenever the legal fireworks begin because the plaintiffs have asked for two SANs from each of the six geopolitical zones.

Relying on Sections 135 to 146 of the 1999 Constitution, the plaintiffs averred that Jonathan cannot take the oath of office more than twice as president.

They also said under the constitution, any President of Nigeria cannot be in office beyond eight years of two terms.

They said if Jonathan is allowed to contest and is sworn in as president, he would be spending 10 years in office contrary to the spirit and intendment of the 1999 Constitution.

They urged the court to determine three issues and sought for six reliefs in the originating summons.

The plaintiffs’ prayers are as follows:

*whether having regards to the intendment and general scheme of the Constitution, especially the provisions of  sections 1 (1) &(2), 135 (1)& (2), 137(1)(b), 140 (1) &(2),142 (1)&(2)  and 146(1)(3)(b)(c) thereof, it is constitutional, lawful, legal and permissible for a person to occupy the office of the president for a cumulative and or aggregate period of more than eight years;

•whether having regards to the intendment and the general scheme of the Constitution, especially the provisions of Sections 1(1) & (2) and 135(1) thereof, the defendant is eligible to seek  re-election or contest for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for another term of four years, which will bring his cumulative and or aggregate period in office as president beyond the eight years maximum period allowable by the Constitution;

•whether having regards to the intendment and the general scheme of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) especially section  1(1) & (2), 135 (1)&(2), 137 (1)(b), 140 (1) & (2), 142(1)& (2) and 146(1) (3) (b)& (c) thereof, the period the defendant served as President from May 6, 2010 to May 28, 2011, ought not to be reckoned with and taken into cognisance in computing  the total period he has spent and could spend in office as President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The plaintiffs asked for these reliefs.

•a declaration that having regards to the provisions of the Constitution, it is unconstitutional, unlawful, illegal and not permissible for any person to occupy the office of the President for more than a cumulative and or aggregate period of eight years when the country is not at war and it is practicable to hold election into the office of President;

•a declaration that having regards to the Provisions of the Constitution, the defendant, is not eligible to seek re-election into the office of President for another term of four years from 2015, as that would have permitted him to occupy the office of President, for more than the eight years maximum period allowable by the Constitution for anyone to occupy the office of the President;

•a declaration that in computing the period already spent in office as President by the defendant, the period from May 6, 2010 to May 28, 2011 should / ought to be reckoned with.

•a declaration that having spent a period of more than four years in office as President reckoned from May 6, 2010, the defendant is without competence, eligibility, authority or entitlement to contest for the same office for another term of four years;

•an order of injunction restraining the defendant from contesting, putting himself forward and or accepting to contest for the office of President at the 2015 presidential election;

•and, for such further or other relief(s) to which the plaintiffs may be found entitled by the Honourable Court in consequence of the relief(s) earlier adumbrated on the Originating Summons.

A member of the legal team, who spoke in confidence, explained why the latest suit is different from others before on the eligibility of Jonathan.

The source said: “The suit is challenging the eligibility of Mr. President to spend beyond eight years in office in the light of constitutional provision that forbids any person to stay in office beyond eight years.

“And also there is a court decision in an election petition case on Adamawa State, where it was held that no circumstances should warrant anyone to hold an elective office beyond eight years.

“In Marwa and 1 other v. Admiral Murtala Nyako and others (SC 141/2011), the court held that ‘the constitution has no room for a cumulative tenure exceeding eight years.’

“This suit is different from the previous ones challenging Mr. President because he had neither declared his intention nor was he confirmed as a presidential candidate for 2015 polls.

“Thus, the previous suits were speculative. This suit is hinged on the fact that having spent six years in office, the president is seeking another term of four years. Yet the constitution says a President can hold office for two terms of eight years.”
