Zelensky just allowed his country to be used by Biden administration and their so called European allies to fight proxy war they cannot win.

So he should've ceded Ukraine to Russia? And Canada should also allow their country to become the 51st state of US?

yarimo:
NATO should withdraw support from Ukraine, so that the comedian president will understand the language better from Russia

What's his offence?

Hemanwel:
Why the name "El-Rufai" dey pepper some people for body like this?

People like Wendell, Uba Sani, Tinubu-pain (T-pain), etc, dey develop cold feet at the mention of EL-RUFAI!

How u take come dey wash dis El-Rufai now dey shock me o

ddippset:
So what should happen to a Nigerian who lies on an affidavit?

Could you tell us?

I can't get. I can't see whr affidavit is needed to confirm defection

Michelle70:
affidavit is the stronger case here, that is why the SC stylishly kept the hearing for another day.
I think the judgement was bought, I am not sure though.

Maybe we should wait

Michelle70:
Affidavit is not, but should an affidavit be thrown away?

Is an affidavit so weak?

Affidavit is powerful but should be in a place it's required. Defection has procedures and I don't think affidavit is part of it while it's needed in charge of name n DOB

Michelle70:
No, a name on a paper is just for formalities and could be altered due to political interest.

Nothing should beat an affidavit from court.

Can you screenshot of the constitution where affidavit is one of the procedures in defection? If affidavit is everything, then one can also go and get an affidavit to exonerate of crime and it stands.

baralatie:
No it does not work that way
If you have a judgement against you in the lower courts
and you appeal to a higher.the judgement of that lower court is paused /kept in the isolation chamber of wether it is true or not until the higher says so or not.therefore until that higher court gives its judgement.the judgement of that lower has got nothing on you

Maybe you do more research and see exceptions. What you're saying is I a case of a court sacking an elected member like govs where they get a stay of execution yo remain on their seats until it ends in SC. When there's no stay of execution by the higher court, the judgement of the lower court is implemented immediately pending when the SC is done.

Michelle70:
If we start throwing out affidavit that was given to court, then we need not to take the court serious anymore.

I did confirmation of name, newspaper publication and affidavit from court more than a decade ago.
Till today no firm has asked me to show them the publication, all they need is the affidavit

Everything has procedures
Change of name_ go to court n get affidavit and publish it in a newspaper
Defection _resign from your party, proceed to your new party n get registered on their register and get their membership card. Can you boast of any of these?

baralatie:
They cannot use that since the supreme court has already initiated judgement on the cases brought before it.
Appeal court no near where supreme court boiz take siddon.
Haa
No diss supreme court

Wahala if a lower court reinstate someone it stands until a higher court says otherwise. If appeal court calls you a thief, you remain a thief until SC reverses or upheld their(AC) decision

Michelle70:
There is a court affidavit that confirm their defection

When has court affidavit become the procedure for defection according to the constitution? Go and read the procedures for defection if you don't know and stop sleeping on a bicycle

baralatie:
how will they resume if already the judge has yet to rule on defection
Will the judge now say the are not aware of the importance of defection of law members that they ruled on

Why are you talking like this? Before the case reached to SC what was the last judgement? I mean the decision of the appeal court. That's the valid ruling until SC says maybe otherwise. So the case of who the authentic members are has been resolved and they're asked to resume sitting immediately.

Zico5:
Can you see what's happening in my country. Supreme Court for the highest bidder. They couldn't even hide their deception at all. They have reduced the masses to dustbins. Whatever they decide is what we must take. Omo, this country is not a place to be. This is purely hands of Wike and Tinubu.

So Fubara/Rivers is poor? Eyah poor SIM card

Vadese1:
It's a win win for the governor. He will appoint local government administrators for now and do another soonest. Wike will not come near

SC judgement has stopped recognition of Caretaker Committee in LG. So if he appoints them he'll be the one to fund them.

gare:
ashawo

Olosho promax

CoronaVirusPro:
Fubara is going to fight for next 4 years before he is booted out

His administration is all about battles.

When we told the furniture that only a Ikwerre man can take down a Ikwerre man, his minions were oinking.

I hope they all watch the movie to the end. Wike will nail his coffin.

Ignorance will keep making you to wail

gare:
Which school did you attend? Because I seriously doubt you went to one at all if you can’t even differentiate between my personal opinion and a judgment you haven’t even seen. Ode.

Any interpretation that can maintain your orgasm is welcome sha bye!

gare:
the judgment is not new, holding the funds would not stop anything, but they would still not be recognized, the case at the high court to determine their seats would start.

I never take you people that cry for good governance here because y'all are hypocrite. See how you interpret that judgement upside down to favour you

gare:
Its you that is not OK, why should you ask me that, why dont you allow the feggie to defend him/her self

Did you check it out in other news outlets before coming out in the public to call it fake news? Is that not the highest way to display buffoonery??

phantom:
Impeached FIRE... in Rivers state?? Una think say na Lagos where Obasa abd Tinubu hold una for blokos... 😂

This matter ruled on predated the defection 😂.. don't be deceived o!!

anything that will keep giving you hope is allowed

phantom:
Don't mind them.. 😂.. if Supreme Court never throw this country into war, dem no go rest. 27 people defected and you turn around to say they didn't defect 😂

Ignorance of how the law operates is the reason you'll keep complaining of every judgement that doesn't favour you.

Odin13:
Better money… don change hand

Our judiciary is more corrupt than corrupt

Fubara . Chai!

Hustle your second term.. now you know justice died in Nigeria since 2015…

Sell your church mind .. go find brick and concrete replace am..

Politics no be for soft and nice people ..

Do what you have to

Power to the people

ehen wailing don start

ValarDoharis:
This is actually a coup. This is why state police should be encouraged. The president controlling the police can abuse his powers

Have you forgotten that govs abuse power than the FG? At least, there'll never be no more electionery campaign by opposition in the states let alone anything close to free and fair election.

A lot of politicians (in both the legislature and the executive) from Southern Nigeria play this double tongued game, time and time again. They will never take a stand for what's right when it really matters but they have their media crew on speed dial to constantly mouth the usual nonsense about Northern Nigeria being the problem.

This tax reform bill matter is the latest example of this game of deceit by Southern governors. Their constituents need to open both their eyes and ears.

They're there for themselves

Fujiyama:

You still don't get my point.

Southern governors didn't publicly oppose the tax reform bill. They all remained silent while Northern governors publicly expressed their dissatisfaction. The bone of contention was the sharing formula (its always the sharing formula!) for VAT proceeds among other things.

So many Nigerians chewed out Northern governors for their opposition to a bill which is clearly better than the status quo...the assumption was that Southern governors would take a different position from their counterparts from the North. But when the time came to make their stand known to Nigerians, what did Southern governors do? They fully endorsed the position taken by Northern governors that the VAT distribution formula should essentially remain unchanged.

Contrast the behaviour of Southern governors today with the position they took in 2023 - they invigorated the Southern Governors Forum to counter the Northern Governors Forum in the run up to the elections. Late Akeredolu was very vocal about the presidency going to the South after Buhari's exit. If Southern Governors can find their voices when it comes to partisan politics, what is it that has rendered them speechless on a much more important matter?

I got ur point now. The issue is that southern govs are always cowards except people like Wike and late Aketi

Vinnie2000:
See the way Senators were panicky and begging Natasha while her Rights were being abused by the Clownish fellow called Akpabio.

Dat's how they will soon beg Akpabio later, to take things easy.

Elected Senators now looking like Primary 5 children.

In the Heydeys of Obasanjo when we had Pple like David Mark, Ali Ndume, Osariemmen Osunbor, James Manager,etc
Akpabio won't be Misbehaving and Disgracing the Senate like this.

Infact, he won't be Considered for a position of Chief Whip, let alone SP.

APC has DESTROYED too many things in Nigeria since they took over.

So many rubbish yarned

Simongm2:
Op, get your facts right! Senator Sunday Karimi Steve is representing the good people of Kogi West and not Ogun West.

This is the result of commenting before reading

Fujiyama:

Yes, governors from Northern Nigeria were initially the most vocal opponents of the bill. Naturally, there was a lot of criticism directed towards those governors in the press, on social media, on this very platform etc. But those who know how Nigeria really works simply smiled and waited for what was to come.

Don't ever lose sight of the point I have made on this thread. Governors from southern Nigeria eventually endorsed the position taken by their northern counterparts on the tax bill - and they all (northern and southern alike) agreed to a joint statement issued by the Nigerian Governors Forum.

Not one governor from southern Nigeria disassociated himself from the joint statement issued by all the governors. Not one. What does that tell you?

come[/b]the only gov that spoke against the bill is Makinde and no one else. You can also show me where other govs spoke against it or went to a meeting to disagree with the president

735i:
You deviate. Stick to topic my G. Valentine Ozigbo joining APC has killed his political career.
Counter me with facts.

I'm not saying that he's gonna win but my point is 'never say never' because a lot was said about apc juring Bayelsa election, when Rochas Okorocha, David Umahi, Godswin Akpabio, Orji Uzor Kalu detected to apc saying that those states hate apc to the core but see it today.

[quote author=mofresh post=134227194][/quote]Exactly! North has been set backwards because of religion unlike the liberal South.

Well...the rest of Nigeria doesn't really mind. Never ever forget that the entire Nigeria Governors Forum fought against some key elements of the tax reform bill (one of the very, very few things BAT seems to have gotten right). Nigeria's governors (to the last man) are strongly in favour of retaining the current arrangement for VAT proceeds distribution - including that dubious, regressive 50% "equality" clause.

Your governor supports the status quo. That is the unfiltered, unvarnished truth.

Nigerian govt is foolish to even allow a religious police operate with their on law. It was the northerners that were crying wolf against the bill
