The average Hausa mab does not know the difference between an Igbo person and the one who claims to be from the South South.

This is exactly the same way you (and the average person from the south) do not know the difference between and Hausa person and a person from Kanuri.

Or do you know any tribal difference between someone from the North East and those from the North West?

In a nutshell, by agreeing that an Igbo person will never be president, you are in essence saying that no one from your own region would ever be president.

Or were you not there when Ajimobi (from Southwest) referred to Secondus as an Igbo Man?

nigeriagospel:
Am from the south south region of the country , the structure of Nigeria politics will never make an Igbo man ascend the throne of president in Nigeria.

I believe in the saying nothing is impossible to achieve, but before an Igbo man could occupy that throne, the mindset of an average Northerner about the Igbo must be changed firstly.

The northerners with the belief they are born to rule frown at non Muslim not to talk of an Igbo they see as an infidel rule over them.

Take it or leave it , they see the East as a conquer
Territory , how do you feel when you win a fight with a fellow kid? You them as powerless and as someone that must bow to your wish, same way the north views the Igbo.

Nature has a role to play I'm this too,
Even if election are to be conducted free and fair northerners with their population will beat an Igbo man hands down not even talking about child voting that is norm amongst them.

Can the president or governor perform any of those actions outside their recommendations? Nope.

That's called separation of powers and counter balancing.

adanny01:


Can they sack any single judge? Can they appoint a judge? Can they swear in a judge? Can they suspend a judge?

They have no such powers. The power they have is to recommend all these actions but not by themselves.

Stop saying nonsense. NJC has absolute power over its officials. If there's anything here, they're merely trying to avoid heating up the polity any further. The presidency cannot ridicule the NJC or arbitrarily reverse their decisions without flouting the rule of law.

adanny01:


You guys had no idea of the law. NJC has zero power. What they do is recommend.

What ever they have in their recommendation, they do not want the president to override them which may cause a public outcry from people like you when they know that the president is not bound to their recommendation. It could also affect their council negatively or their personal capacities since Buhari's action can ridicule the council.

They took the best action such that whatever the president does, the true position of the NJC will not be known and the reputation of the council will be intact whether Buhari goes for or against their recommendation.

Yea, just like "Trump is the racist" and "Obama is the progressive". Yet, Trump's policies have been HISTORICALLY much more empowering and economically liberating to the blacks (and the other minorities) in the US, compared to those of other DNC presidents.

But here you are wanting to rewrite history.

See, until you realize that today's Left Wing movements in America (and the West) are primarily driven by godlessness and antichristian passion (in their bid to entrench their grips on power) you'd never be clear what's going on.

The Democratic Party was the party of slavery.

In fact, more Northern Democrats and Northern republicans were for the abolition of slavery put against both Democrats and Republicans from the south!
Today there are more openly racist individuals in the Republican party, because of aligned values.

You keep getting familiar with these folks alright, and you will be pleasantly shocked like that girl "Okafor" with Steve King.

1) Wikipedia is NOT a credible source of information.

2) The so called Southern Strategy is a conspiracy theory as far as I and a number of established researchers are concerned.

3) Research the history and founding philosophy/rhetorics of Planned Parenthood. Then tell me which party is in full support of it right now and which demographic group it is most damaging to. A quick test.

4) Stop listening to SPLC and Media Matters. They have both been discredited and proven to be the racist and propaganda mouth pieces of the DNC.

kayroc:


I would like to suggest that you read up on the Southern Strategy. You are right that the Republicans were the Party that abolished slavery but the old Southern Racists moved to the Republicans after the 60s when the Democratic President passed Civil Rights legislation.

Just take 10 mins to read on the Southern Strategy on Wikipedia and you will see that I am not that ignorant Sir.

You are ignorant.

Check the history of both parties. The DNC was the party of slave dealers, Jim Crow, KKK and all those racist craps.

Republicans actually fought Democrats just to free the slaves and give then right to political participation and arms.

Unfortunately, today, Democrats are still enslaving many idiots to government (thereby making most of them to be personally grossly unproductive) with the delusion of free everything.

kayroc:



I am not surprised to see that religion has pushed Africans to embrace Republican dogma.

When the Republicans show the racist side of the party fully you'll see that religion alone will not save you.

Any iota of shame or decency in you at all?

How about disputing his points with stronger facts? Nope. Idiots will always attack the person they can't argue with.

Oshigun:
What Buhari do you know? A man who never acknowledges or meet with you yet you are obsessed with and talk about 24/7? You do same with Tinubu. Shameless Reno Omokakiri. It is unrequited obsession mumu. You are homeless, jobless and a stray Dog. Find a home and something to do with your life.

Nigeria does not need compromised and paid gents like you who work for Atiku dollars yet make noise against those trying to better our nation. You have no time for the woeful Political leaders ruining your state and region of origin yet you focus 24/7 on SW and Northern leaders. Compromised hag.

Go back to your fake pulpit and continue to deceive the fools and simpletons who attend your church. That is what you are good at and will only ever be good at because you are a pathetic loser. Shameless Atiku mouthpiece, go and rest. Elections are over.

Delta is NOT an ethnic identity.

There are several DIFFERENT ethnic groups in Delta state. So, which one does the man belong to?

Holykiss4kind:
. He is from Delta but reside in Choba, Rivers state.

This thing is more complex than you think. Coming here to create a generalized impression that most right wing Westerners hate African immigrants is blatantly wrong. The assertion is also false.

What most of them hate is:

1) ILLEGAL immigration. (They want legal, controlled, merit based immigration).

2) The Left Wing tendency to push for open borders so they can keep importing new immigrant voters (since they usually don't procreate).

3) The Left's endless push for a multicultural West is a bid to weaken and diminish (or possibly eliminate) the influence of its Judeo-Christian cultural values. The left knows that with widespread diversity the people will never unite strongly against the government. Rather, due to mutual suspicion, the divided citizens will prefer to have the government as their sole arbiter in all areas of the political and socioeconomic life. This is one of the outcomes that the Left craves so much to see soon; hence their push for mass migration, open borders and demonization of nationalism.

But note that mass, illegal migration is not the only route the left is using to arrive at its agenda. They are also using immoral and amoral policies that go contrary to the principles of Christianity.

tevinsolt:


Of course something like would be terribly disturbing. You don't have to look far, get online and you'll find all sorts of crazy rhetoric about non Europeans. One topic that's starting to gain ground the population IQ data.

according to stat Apparently Africans have borderline retardation IQ results, with continental Africans scoring lower than American blacks. With this they came to the resolve that that is why Africans can't run complex institutions, for example Government.

I hate to say it, but with the so called leaders presently governing all across Africa..... They are right on the money.

But I disagree, we have only allowed the scums among us to continue to ravage and pillage people and resources.

How skilled and productive are you in your job? How much do you love America? Do you mingle with any of those anti-Trump, Anti-business, anti-Christian, anti-White goons? If you do, it will always show. And that may be the root cause of the issue

Finally, do you see yourself as a victim in your present experience?


I seriously recommend that you follow this young woman ( @RealCandaceO) tenaciously on Twitter. Her views can liberate your mind literally.

Optional09:


Many times I have thought about going back home getting the greecard was a war on it own. Now after the whole 5 years of trying to build a life come racism, that was my first ever experience. But where is the home to go back to Nigeria where police will kill is brother on the assumption he will find something to steal from him?

You are not getting the point.

The man would have no say if the woman decides to deny that he's the father. In fact the Act you quoted has a provisions for anyone (including non-biological parents) to obtain the guardianship right. In this case, if the woman can prove that she has another man (most likely her own dad, close friend or relative) who can provide the needed male/father figure support for the child, the so called unmarried biological father would have no chance let alone right to the child.

If you get such rights by merely sleeping with a woman then marriage would no longer be a legal necessity.

XhosaNostra:



You wanted a link & I provided one. You left out the part where it says a father can still apply through the courts for his parental rights under the guidelines provided by an advocate.

I don't know which country she resides in, but there're similar laws in most countries, some more severe than the other. But the bottom line is, you cannot keep a child away from the other parent regardless of what happened between you two.

The link you sent is actually about an Act on Child Right (not paternal right). And even at that, the Act does not automatically confer any right to the child on an UNMARRIED biological father.

Here's an excerpt from the link you sent:

BIOLOGICAL PARENTS

Biological mothers

The biological mother, whether she is married or not, has full parental responsibilities and rights in respect of her child. She attains those rights solely on the fact that she has given birth to the child.

Married biological fathers

The biological father has full parental responsibilities and rights in respect of the child if:

1) he was married to the child’s mother at the time of the child’s conception and birth;

2) he is married to the child’s mother; or
they are or were married at any time after the birth.

Unmarried biological fathers

Despite the increased recognition of the beneficial role that fathers can play in the lives of their children, the Children’s Act still does not confer automatic, inherent parental rights on biological fathers in the same way it does for mothers. According to the Act, an unmarried biological father will have automatic parental rights and responsibilities only if:


1) at the time of the child’s birth, he was living in a life partnership with the mother, i.e. they were living in a de facto husband and wife relationship and chose not to get married;

2) regardless of whether he was living with the mother or not, he consents to be identified as the father of the child or applies for an amendment to be effected on the birth certificate that he be registered as the biological father of the child in terms of the Births and Deaths Registration Act, or pays damages in terms of customary law;

3) and he contributes or has attempted to contribute in good faith to the upbringing of the child within a reasonable period, and has paid or attempted to pay maintenance.

In summary, the unmarried biological father does not get any right to the child just because he slept with the child's mother. Got it? There'd even be zero basis to compel the child or her mother to do a DNA test since the so called father was never married to the woman. His right as a father is NOT even what's under consideration in the said Act. What's being considered here is the welfare of the child.


IT'S CLEAR YOU DID NOT READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE SENDING THE LINK.

XhosaNostra:


Sigh. Google child custody.



https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.divorcelaws.co.za/unmarried-parents-and-the-law.html&ved=2ahUKEwiVx9zi25_hAhVCtHEKHSKZCioQFjALegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw0sXEUDmSlFNzCkaN3AB99G&cshid=1553600259882

Can you post a link to that "western law" you talk about?

XhosaNostra:


Western law or whatever you wanna call it. She's in his territory, so she better abide by the rules of the country in which she's living & not some customary laws from her village.

It's a basic stuff based on common sense. Don't mind the kids who flood Nairaland to issue "professional" advice after watching too many fairy tale movies.

Omoge87:


In fact in the UK - if a man and woman are not married - and they want to register the baby’s birth for the birth certificate- the father has to accompany the mother for his name to be put on the birth certificate ooo. If the mother does not agree his name won’t be on that birth certificate. Just like that.

Which law are you referring to?

Can you cite some examples of laws that recognize paternal rights to a child outside a validly constituted or legally dissolved marriage contract?

XhosaNostra:


That's not how the law works. He has every right to be in his child's life.

That's nonsense. He has ZERO right to the child of a woman he was NOT legally married to. In fact, in my place, some families won't accept the bride price if they discover that their daughter is pregnant. And if the man chooses to pay the dowry after the woman's child birth, he'd be reminded that though he's allowed custody of the child (through his wife), the baby belongs to his father in-law - not him. Though some people may not want to enforce this tradition after the bride price is paid, you cannot claim the fatherhood of your woman's baby without paying her dowry.

There's a reason why marriage is called a legal contract.

XhosaNostra:
If the baby is his, then you have no right to keep him out of his child's life. That is wrong. Your issues are with him. Don't involve the child in your bitterness as this may lead to your downfall. What if he chooses to fight you through the court system for full custody? Is that something you're up for? Is it even worth it? Swallow your pride & let the man be part of his child's life without your baby mama drama. It's not about you!

Your assertion is based on gross ignorance.

The entire moves by the FG and CCT were to humiliate the man CONTRARY to the rule of law.

The man's initial refusal to succumb to their harassment was TO PROTECT THE RULE OF LAW.

Everything the FG and CCT have done in this case was illegal. You guys are merely cheering illegality and lawlessness.

For example, the CCT was supposed to rule on the suit that questions its jurisdiction vo hear this case BEFORE commencing the trial, if it eventually,rules that it has jurisdiction. But what did the CCT do, it decided that it will rule on its jurisdiction after the trial.

Is that not pure madness?

By the way, per your bolded assertion below, the CCT is not part of the "Judicial System". It is actually part of the Executive Arm. That's the reason its jurisdiction to try a sitting CJN was called to question. And since there's no legal means to impose their authority, they retorted to suspending the CJN unconstitutionally and used the federal security agencies to force his compliance. This is wrong and illegal on all fronts.

samstradam:


From the responses you have gotten it is clear that we are in serious trouble with the kind of youth we have in this country.

The case against Onnoghen is and has always been simple, he disobeyed the law by refusing to declare all his assets.

He himself has admitted to it and called it a mistake/oversight. It is up to the courts to determine if his admission of guilt and voluntary correction of it follows what the law has stated. Simple.

However the idiot did all the things you said to stop this from happening and delay justice thinking himself bigger than the Law that he serves and all normal Nigerians.

He by disregarding all his prior rulings on the CCT has shown us that following the Law is for the little people and clearly that some animals are more equal than others.


I might not like Adeleke, but even with his lack of education and zero reasons to believe in our judicial system when it comes to electoral matters and ruling against a sitting government, he has every single time subjected himself peacefully into the arms of the law and won every single time. ( I believe it is about 4-0 now)


The main casualty of this whole case has been the Judiciary and even if he is found innocent and the NJC fails to tell him to retire , our Judiciary will continue dying a slow and pathetic death with this Do-as-I-say-and-not-as-I-do running things.

Vary well said. Bro. :

illiterato:
1)
The suspended CJN Walter Onnoghen was accused and charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal with six counts of false asset declaration on January 11, 2019.
The charge sheet reads, in part,

"That you, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, CJN, GCON between 8th June 2005 to 14th December 2016 being a public officer serving as a Judicial Officer in the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a Justice of the Supreme Court failed to declare and submit a written declaration of all your assets and liabilities within the prescribed period of three months after being sworn in as the Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on the 8th day of June 2005 and you thereby contravened the provisions of Section 15(1) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act Cap C15 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria( LFN) 2004 and punishable under Section 23(2) a, b, c, of the same Act."

Five counts of false asset declaration are listed subsequently, related to each of the alleged five Standard Chartered Bank accounts of Justice Onnoghen.




2)
The Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act Cap C15 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria( LFN) 2004 was referred to in the charges against Justice Onnoghen, specifically section 15, which states:

15. Declaration of assets

(1) Every public officer shall, within fifteen months after the coming into force of this Act or immediately after taking office and thereafter-

(a) at the end of every four years;

(b) at the end of his term of office; and

(c) in the case of a serving officer, within thirty days of the receipt of the form from the Bureau or at such other intervals as the Bureau may specify, submit to the Bureau a written declaration in the Form prescribed in the First Schedule to this Act or, in such form as the Bureau may, from time to time, specify, of all his properties, assets and liabilities and those of his spouse or unmarried children under the age of twenty-one years.

So Justice Onnoghen's accusers claim he falsely declared, or failed to declare his assets between 2014 and 2016, as required by the CCB Act.

Ordinarily, we would need an investigation into whether this was the case, viz, asset verification, and if any undeclared assets were found, there would be proof of guilt against Justice Onnoghen.




3)
However, Justice Onnoghen has provided evidence in his response to a query by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), which filed the six-count charge against him.

He stated:

I WALTER S. N. ONNOGHEN of THE SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA hereby voluntarily depose to the statement averred herein knowing that whatever I write or state may be tendered against me as evidence in court. I also volunteer to state that the statement was not taken in evidence from me under duress but after the administering officer has explained and made known the details of the allegations against me.

My Asset Declaration for Nos. SCN000014 and SCN.0000 5 were declared on the same day, 14th December, 2016 because I forgot to make a declaration of May, 2005 declaration of my assets after the expiration of my 2005 declaration in 2009. Following my appointment as Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria in November, 2016 the need to declare my asset anew made to realize the mistake and then did the declarations to cover the period in default. I did not include my Standard Chartered Bank Account in SCN. 000014 because I believed they were not opened during the period covered by the declaration.

He admitted a contravention of the provisions of the CCB Act, [/b]by failing to declare his assets at the expiration of the prior declaration in 2009.

[b]But this is not the charge he faces at the CCT.
The CCT accused him of not declaring assets he (according to him) did not possess in the period covered by the charge of false/non-asset declaration.

Once he proves (as he did yesterday) that he did not possess the Standard Chartered Bank accounts before 2009, he can make a no-case submission (as he requested yesterday), which means the prosecution has no case against him.

But the FG can choose to file fresh charged against the CJN, (as I think they will) this time they could charge Jusice Onnoghen with non-declaration of assets between 2009 and 2016.
That is a case they are more likely to win.

Okay, it has suddenly turned to "mistakenly omitting one vote" and no longer that "many results from polling units were useless"? Really?

adrusa:


Of course, it was an option. We could have cancelled every results where the corpers made simple arithmetic errors like having 1, 2, 3, 4 missing/extra votes, instead of working with them and party agents present at the collation centres to find the mistakes and correct them. If we had taken this route, the entire election would have been cancelled. Maybe when you become INEC chairman you will cancel elections because someone mistakenly omitted 1 vote scored by MAJA party and therefore could not balance his figures at the Collation Centre.

You and mynd44 should quit those your "I too know" craps.

If you were paying attention you'd know that results were actually supposed to be transmitted directly to the server from polling units. At least, the Akawa Ibom State REC said so during a live voter education session on Channels TV prior to the presidential election. I saw it live.

MrAJQ:


Do you think those people have sense? The worst of their madness is their supporters. So shallow minded

In other words, you are telling us that MANY of the original results that INEC announced at the polling units were useless? And such original results were corrected (changed) at the collation centers as opposed to canceling or rerunning the poling unit election? Wow! This is eye opening. You guys should keep it up.

adrusa:


He is even lying. All the presiding officers did was to forward their accreditation data from the card reader to INEC central server. And many of them were not even able to do this because of network problem. There was no way he could have sent results to INEC server, he was not equipped to do so. Secondly, many of the results brought to the collation centres were full of arithmetic errors many of which were detected by the collation officers who had to help them find the mistakes and correct them before he can enter the results in his own forms. So, many of the results collected by party agents at the polling boots were useless and inaccurate. I was a collation officer, so I'm fairly well informed about the election.

Where is your verifiable source for this pile of lies?

You are not afraid to distort history?

Folks who do stuff like this never end well.

But you won't know this because like a gullible sheep you allow yourself to be led to the slaughter slab.

Go and read on the Greater Israel Project

Yea, the same UN that is massively anti-Israel at the moment, right?

Guess, you are also clueless about the fact that many Israeli Jews are anti Zionism as you are right now?

But know what, there's no stopping the movement - everything boils down to it - your hostilities, religious terrorism, global political and economic instabilities, human advancement and breakthroughs in science, medicine and technology, etc, they all help to advance the Zionist cause. You can't stop it. No one would.

And why the heck am I even in this banter?

Communism is the end goal of Zionism

Take a cursory look at the old Soviet emblem and compare it with that of the UN , a precursor to one world govt .

At the very helm is the Jew.

The Jew is preparing for their messiah with the announcement of the birth of a red heifer last year.

The Jew has since decided to pick from the line of David , one they will announce to the world as their lost messiah , they will be fooling many of you blind Christians to see him as the return of Christ .

For you to even make reference to neo-liberals aka progressive communists as anti Jew then you do not know anything .

This is another Jew lie.

The Jew is a known thief .

They have been plagiarizing other peoples work and claiming credit for it and this is made possible because the Jews have come to dominate the academia .

The Jew's only attribute is to lie , steal and distort .

Look at Russia now without the Jews and see how their militarization program with 5th generation war jets, hypersonic missiles is leading the way.

Most of the technology and scientific breakthrough you are enjoying this day can be traced to Nazi Germany .

Von Braun and other Nazi scientists are the real faces behind the space age .

Google operation Paper Clip and see for yourself how US govt granted asylum to leading German scientists .

The Jew took credit for their works on threat of exposing them as Nazis.

Modern day Jewish technology is all based on theft and espionage .

Wike may not be perfect, in fact he's stupid in some areas. But, unlike Amaechi', Wike has a strong sense of loyalty. He's a bit selfless too. Amaechi, on the other hand, appears to be very conniving, desperately power drunk, and stupidly amoral.

And is there any difference between Wike and Amaechi?
