We don't entertain it, period! We throw it out IMMEDIATELY!!! Besides, if a lawyer tries it he risks getting sanctioned, losing his license, and disbarred. No lawyer out here is that foo*lish. You can't waste the time of the court or disrespect the Judge if you don't want your "life" to come to a screeching halt. Nigerian society just seems to have a problem with following rules, law and order.

Wetkas cross examination has been on for weeks now. Can the judge give the defense council a deadline to wrap up the examination? Is that permitted in western courts?

Are you aware any case where a western lawyer used this sort of tactics to delay proceeding? Can the judge intervene and halt such?

Why can't the CCT judge in the case of Saraki or the judge in Dasuki's case throw out this sort of tactic by the defense team?

Just curious.

8BitGee:
What is the role of the NBA and NJC in whipping in place all these debased lawyers we have out there these days? The judge is absolutely right. Joseph Daudu is famous for filing frivolous motions, while Riki Tafa is known for bribing judges.

BTW, VP Osinbajo and Itse Sagay, we need special courts to try corruption related offences now!!! The regular courts already have too much on their hands!

Just curious, how do courts in developed countries handle the issue motion upon motion from defense lawyers to stall a case?

StainlessH:
Like I always say,

Everything remains standby until a force is applied.

We Nigerian understands force so well.

I think the only language Nigerians understand is FORCE. Without it they don't act right. Sometimes I don't understand why we act the way we do.

eyekaynoble:
PLAGIARISM!!! Those last remarks though... U stole my thoughts & writings. Nevermind, i'll not press charges. Olodo rabata! Copy n paste. We know ur types

Bro, you are the typical Nigerian that never seems to address the issue or discussion on ground, but rather insult some else for trying. If it's Plagiarism...then GOOD! we love it. He has attempted an answer to the question. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT RUBBISH HIS EFFORT! And honestly I hate this sorta crab mentality amongst US

maxzzo1:
Hmmmm am not sure cos guys are loading containers with logs na for export...

I think they are not aware. Most of the exporters are using Onne port. China has also imposed limitation on import of wood from Nigeria. Most of containers are being shipped to Vietnam

shagaman:
This logs would be dropped at the port...They going nowhere. go to Apapa port dem full there now...

They have been using Onne port to export these woods for some time now

Baroba:
Thank you, am more concerned about whats happening with Kosso wood ( Rosewood). Another ban i will be quite to see is donkey skins to China..

I couldn't help but laugh when I read your post. I guess you are quite familiar with the items on demand by the Chinese. Donkey skin is now so expensive, I think rather than ban skin export, govt could encourage more people to raise donkeys and skin harvesting.

I'm quite in support of wood export ban. At the moment they are deforesting Taraba and nasarawa for woods. Not good! And the ministries in these states aren't helping to curb excessive logging. All they care about is the money.

You're not forced to come to the politics section, if you're tired of the bitter truth, I suggest you head over to the the Romance section.

I like current affairs that's why I am here to read news and sensible contribution. But when you and folks like you writing Buhari and Jonathan from page 1 to 10, it makes it difficult for me and so many other folks to read anything meaningful. Please STOP!

You're not forced to come to the politics section, if you're tired of the bitter truth, I suggest you head over to the the Romance section.

The discussion is about the impact of devaluation on first bank NPLs. Will first bank go bankrupt if naira is devalued? Are there other banks that may be affected? Should we withdraw our monies?

We'll appreciate if you could just stick to that topic rather than go on about some Dr Jonathan blissful rule and Buhari.

Remii:
its neither her nor there, GEJ solved fuel problem with uncontrolled subsidy payout, spending almost all our income on subsidy, even unbudgeted, so in a way the evil days were postponed by GEJ. With low inflow, how can we continue uncontrolled subsidy? GEJ should have stuck his gun in 2012 by removing the subsidy and he would have had 3 years to prove he was right. PMB is also making mistake of just price increase to meet forex market forces instead of full deregulation.

Can you expand on the difference between meeting forex market forces and full deregulation?

Since these fuel importers tend work as a cartel, don't you think they might gang up and form a sort of monopoly on pricing?

TippyTop:
Buhari is returning us to the stone age. This is only the beginning, the Bubu man is hell bent on destroying the achievements and giant stride we made under Dr Jonathan.

When Zombies Rule the Innocent Suffers.

Can't you folks just stop politicizing every thread. The topic is not for your kin. We are all just tired of not being able to read meaningful contribution on so many threads. We are tired! Please!

ProfLogan:
Op, nice one!
Thats very impressive


But truth be told, you are very greed and stingy.
When you made that first FP, many people asked for the breakdown analysis of your fish business so they can know how much to start this business but unfortunately you didnt answer them fully, and when you answered them, you made short words, making people getting more confused.

Pls madam, try to help them by answering there burning questions
Thanks
And God bless your hustle

Your choice of word rather describes the mentality I so much hate about Nigerians. You call him "greed" and "stingy" and you still have the face to ask him advice? The same very mentality that attacked YMODULUS when he laid it all out on how to import tomatoes from Cameroon. We really need to change our attitude.

examhall:
Remember my post here https://www.nairaland.com/2983444/photos-catfish-pond
we thank God!
we lost only about 20

Your ponds and setting look very neat. I like it!

There's definitely a pattern of mentality something akin to crab mentality here on NL. These folks would rather tie down ops personality and ridicule him than praise him for trying the alleviate the current tomato scarcity. They would rather be up here screaming, tomato is now 6 pcs for 750 naira; calabar to ikon is not 4 hours, etc..

My question to these folks with this mentality is this, what have you done to make tomato available?

kalimera101:
guy just go to Last4real, he's really good. and the shipping is 7-10 days in Lagos, his commission is good too.don't use any other third party. Chrisvicmall's stressful.

What's the link to last4real?
I could find him through the search function.

talktonase:
The french man should never be trusted...see how they leech on the francophone countries bloody ticks...

The francophones seem better off with a steady economy. Don't you think we need the French leech on us?

casket:
As expected...I can't see exchange rate getting any better.
Demand for Dollar will continue to go up while value of our dear naira continue to nose dive...my optimistic mind getting to elastic limit

Before now have the independent oil marketers been sourcing forex from CBN or from the parallel?

I recall CBN wasn't giving them dollars, and they have been sourcing it directly from the parallel markets. Could this dollar rise be as a result of mere speculation, not really a new demand from oil importers?

oduastates:
Today's worst news.
These same people are the main reasons why obj saved the Excess Crude and built up the foreign exchange.
A patriotic act. Obj called their bluffs time and time over again.
You are not independent country if you are a perpetual or chronic debtor.
The IMF is controlled by powerful American investment banks. Those banks are only interested in making money by any means possible. After lending you the money, they will look for ways to make you pay over and over again.
I am sure the IMF wants the exchange rate to float freely.

What Nigerian unpatriotic quacks say will happen
Everything will normalise after borrowing from the IMF and devaluing the naira


What will actually happen

The political thieves,foreigners,foreign firms and wealthy Nigerians with naira trapped in the Nigerian economy will convert their naira to dollars and shipped them out. (The same thing happened in Greece.)
The money borrowed ends up not providing any benefit to the country.
In the meantime The Nigerian debt has becomes larger.

Now I expect the parallel market to devalue further in order to maintain their margin. That is, if they've not done so already.
While I predicted the list directly below when Jonathan was squandering the country's resources, it is very important that Buhari rejigs is team, reorder his budget and rethink policy to deliver better services delivery as quickly as possible. (E.g step can be taken to reduce 25% of Nigerian fuel consumption in Lagos)
Emphasis on quickly.

Runaway Inflation
Civil servants strikes for more salaries
More inflation
More hardship for non civil servants.
Interest rates will go up.

The Nigerian economy is bedevilled by evil spirits( Nigerians).
The only places where the economy works are in poor autonomous or isolated villages where

1 prices are not set arbitrarily.
2 the laws of demand and supply actually works.
3 The value of the naira is governed by it's purchasing power and not the foreign exchange value.
4 inflation is low (local goods).

Not sure if this news is confirmed, but I think it imperative for one of the bigwigs-be it the CBN governor or the president, to publicly denounce this rumor. If not done soon enough, the forex black marketers will runs off with this rumor and hoard the dollar anticipating a devaluation.

Honestly, our biggest problem is us. For months now, the dollar has remained steady hovering around 320. There wasn't that panic buying or hoarding experienced early this year. Just for the fact that petrol subsidy was removed, these mongrels or BDCs decided it's time to switch on the panic mode. Any "significant" correlation between subsidy removal and black market dollar hike?

Now dollar is 360. And with this rumor of devaluation it might hit 400 again.

Just too tired of Nigerians!

bobkezel:
atimes i wonder if people really think with their brains or anus. How can someone post this trash and people swallow it hook, line and sinker. I blame the moderators in part for not scrutinizing trashes before it gets to front page. That was how that same guy (ymodulus) posted one trash here about him commiting suicide, he gave step by step details about how he wanted to commit suicide and people were all over here ranting ''we should save him'', and running helter skelter to save him. He always gang up with his cohorts to deceive gullible people. He is a habitual con man and lair. He is 23, and he is worth over N100m and upon all his wisdom and all thriving businesses he could delve or invest into, he chose a tomato. Had it been he mentioned canning of tomatoes, i would have forced myself a bit to believe his trash. He is a blo0dy liar and i pity those that are gonna fall prey to him.

Belief is a choice. I don't think it's proper you coming on this medium to attack his personality. Is there any case of him on NL defrauding anyone? Or is your problem the fact that you think he's worth over a100 million at the age of 23? He has chosen to trade in fresh tomatoes that's his choice, not yours.

It's just plain sad coming on here and reading gibberish from a bunch of folks who inherently hate Buhari due to party affiliation. There are several facets of problem in this country. Buhari has decided to tackle the most notable problem -corruption. This is core issue that's affected the development of the country. Corruption is the reason why there isn't power supply, shabby road construct, non-existent road networks, hospitals without basic medication, etc..

jeytee:
The truth is bitter and hard to take...Buhari is just an uneducated fool..he should continue travelling and fooling himself and Nigeria at large

What's uneducated about him attending anti-corruption summit in a country many wealthy Nigerian politicians use as a haven for their loot?

AdemolaA2:
Well, Truth be told , he's right in a way but the manner in which the statement was made was wrong. It seemed more like a mockery of Nigeria to me .. President Buhari has got to rebuff that derogative statement and make him tender a public apology before the attendees of the summit.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with his statement. We really must learn to tell ourselves the bitter truth. This country runs on a deeply corrupt system. We are all corrupt.. It a way of life here: be it the bank, church, hospital, market etc.

solid3:
Stewpid lawyer. See what I have caused for ya sef now. Hope the argument and right of way will pay ur hostpital bill and also fix ur car.

Yes, it hurts, and some have died for the cause of freedom. But standing up for freedom and free speech is not stupidity.

Sahara reporters put up the numbers of our senate representatives, and we called them to protest their decision to amend CCT laws. Without SR, there's no way we could get our rep's telephone numbers. So what's wrong with that?

Now SR is not my rep. Their contact number is on their website. There isn't any need for this trash, by the way. If the senators are pained because we got their numbers from SR, then they are not worthy to represent us.

Mind you, SR in the last few years has done more scoops than all your he-said-she-said newspapers in Nigeria.

Sahara reporters have revealed a lot more than vanguard, thisday and all the other rubbish "brown envelope" media houses.

I don't remember reading any scoop from local newspapers here. It's always he said, she said, they said... No exposé!

All I see are bar soaps and slippers! Terrorist

This oluyede dude is confused. He's trying to get the whole facts twisted. If AGF recommended investigation, and the investigating body clear the suspect(umar), why then is oluyede saying Umar is tainted, therefore shouldn't preside over the trial of his client(Saraki)?

Our lawyers and our journalists all sound alike, always quick to make a statement without thinking it through.

andyanders:
All these policies and anticipated vision of Dangote, from his speech would want Nigerians to give him all awards.

Come to think of it and it's reality, is his vision workable? Dangote has been in all government from inception, why has he not built the refineries and other things he listed herein?

He was with the democratic government from 1999 till date, and why has he not built the refineries in order to stop importation of the refined petroleum products?

He was out there establishing companies and expanding the economy of other African nations and they all forgot about sorting out the problem of the common man in Nigeria.

When they want to get award, they start speaking of what to do.When they want to get election, they start speaking and promising what they will do and at the end, the politicians will start looking for ways to get oil blocks and exporting it and stealing the nation dry.

Let us watch and see his speech and promises come to reality. Only then can we start praising him.Nigerians are too deceitful.

Bro, my question for you is this:

What about men like Iwuanyawu, aneneh, Jeremiah useni, etc., who have been in the corridor of power for donkey years? What have they built? Jeremiah useni is still a senator collecting salary from Nigerian nation. Iwuanyawu eat up NEMA. Aneneh? You know the story.

modath:
Do you have a better alternative? since this backward Hausa Camel's plan na "wash"

He has monopolised cement cos he tied Ibeto's hands & stopped him from completing his cement factory by the date agreed in the concession contract bah?

Or he is stopping the millions of portfolio biz folks with tank farms from investing in refineries NOW before it becomes too late..

Ugo, relax, Dangote is not the cause of oil price fall that has in turn affected Forex availability for imports

Foolishness is not Opposition!!!.......

Nice comment, bro.

I wish many Nigerian would come to realize that our problem in this Nation is "our people." Dangote is investing so much to industrialize this country. If we can have folks like otedola, adenuga, IBB, iwuanyawu invest the billions they have stashed away in this country, there will be a massive turn around in our fortune. But what we have are these folks lavishing on champagnes, big houses, oversea trips, agbada, adire, big owambe party etc.
If we can have ten more men like Dangote, we will become an industrialized nation

Flets:
Buhari is trying really hard to muscle the judiciary through the NJC. Silencing the judges to play by Buhari's rule is bad for our democracy.

Definitely, I trust the judidciary to fight back. The NJC himself is more corrupt than most, singling out few scape goats to intimidate the judiciary is unacceptable. If there should be a fight against corruption, it should be wholistic.... NJC inclusive.

My brother, what has Buhari got to do with the decision to sack these judges?
These two judges have clearly erred, and they have been sacked. We need more responsible leadership in every sector of this society. No more impunity.

AtlanticBreeze:
These are the type of leaders we need in igboland. I just found a new respect for Ekweremmadu since this Buhari's regime. Anyway, the failure of Buhari and APC has shown that Nigeria cannot progress without igbos. Nigeria is already a failed state. I just pity the next president that will take over from Buhari

Why would you find respect in such a man-ekweremadu? He is part of the ignoble elite in this country that has ruined everything for the rest of us. Look at the whole Igbo land, what have the leaders done for ndigbo? What major investment has he brought to igboland to occupy the unemployed? How has he used his position to discourage the looting by the governors down to slag chairmen?

For me, there's no respect for ekerremadu. He's trying to fan ethnic sentiment in his favor.
