The SUPREME COURT is SUPREME in all things in the land,they have jurisdiction over any matter as long as it has been brought before them.

sapele914:
The Federal High Court has exclusive original jurisdiction & it cannot stop The CBN Governor from carrying out his statutory duties @ his discretion, as prescribed by law.

What does the Cbn act stated when changing currency? Why not following 6 months stated in the constitution?

This is best news i am seeing today

obembet45: Obidient built a forum of their own...woww!

DeepSight:
She said so on National Television, when the policy was announced, she said she heard of it on the news like everyone else.
Secondly, regardless of the distinction between fiscal and monetary policy, it is absurd that she would not be aware - that shows the depth of non-consultation of stakeholders - it also makes it evident that not even the Board of the CBN was carried along, because the Ministry of Finance is on that Board.

Stop magnifying your ignorance. The governor can never consult the minster. Check the act establishing the CBN. He is only answerable to the president.

Read the act before you make any comment again. You are showing your ignorance which is not an excuse

Racoon you've contributed with a solid piece this morning. Congratulations. Long may it last. Have a good one.

THE SUPREME COURT SHALL, TO THE EXCLUSION OF ANY OTHER COURT, HAVE ORIGINAL JURISDICTION IN ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE FEDERATION AND A STATE OR BETWEEN STATES IF AND IN SO FAR AS THAT DISPUTE INVOLVES ANY QUESTION (WHETHER OF LAW OR FACT) ON WHICH THE EXSTENCE OR EXTENT OF A LEGAL RIGHT DEPENDS”

that is a supreme court that has sense that judgement isn't for sale.. They started Loosing their respect when they started selling judgment to the highest bidder, who would would take such a court it judges seriously.

When Buhari raided their houses in the night how many evidence of bribery did he get

DeLaRue:
You people just don't understand.

Even if the Supreme Court made a mistake, only the Supreme court can reverse itself.

No other court in the land, no government official or institution, or the President can override the Supreme court's judicial pronouncements.

But we are close in the country to becoming a lawless state.

How else can one explain a CBN saying a Supreme Court order does not affect it because it was not joined in a suit in which the Federal government was ordered to maintain a status quo

suddenly naira redesign case is what makes Y'all understand we are becoming a lawless state abi?? Is it not this supreme court that granted nnamdi kanu bail? ( even if I'm not a fan of MNK), was it not this same supreme court that gave Lawan and akpabio the APC senetorial ticket even without contesting the Senate primaries? So suddenly all of the people like el rufai that praised FG for not releasing nnamdi kanu are suddenly the ones complaining about FG not honouring supreme court ex parte order. What a joke of a country and a joke of a supreme Court of rascals..

The same way you would explain a supreme court granting candidacy to someone who didnt contest in the primaries.

The supreme court has too often overstepped it bounds, trying to arrogate to itself the powers of the executive

Buhari is indeed the worst president ever

Pathetic. Maybe you think stake-holder consultation amounts to seeking permission or approval. It doesnt.
Stakeholder consultation is standard best practice all over the world in governance - especially in such critical and sensitive matters with a huge effect on the society and economy. Stakeholder consultation has nothing to do with reporting lines. Nothing whatsoever. You are the one who just displayed unfathomable ignorance. Think before you type. Think.

Racoon:
Did you see me responding to the senselessness of the zombie?

I dislike people like you, when people are not in support of your point, you resort to this.

Both of you should go and sit down, you guys are the fo ols here.

The other guy was just arguing with both of you in a constructive manner but because he wasn't on you guys side, you decided to do this...

I'm neutral here and I am telling you guys to try and do more.

Which CBN are you talking about please?


The one that made the fourth man the first or the one that made a man the flag bearer in the election he did not contest?



Wake up from your dreams please.

All your dogo turenshi boils down to one line: federal government ordered the deadline on the advice of CBN. Therefore, the federal government is the final decision maker, not CBN. If that is so, the Supreme Court has jurisdictions on that.

muykem:
Don't worry, let endure till tomorrow. Supreme Court will roar tomorrow and it might mark the end of Emefiele as cabal will gladly sacrifice him.

supreme court will do nothing. They should have thrown out the case and asked the justice shoppers to attach the CBN as respondents.

I belive that is what they will do, anything else will bring more disrepute to a once sacred institution.

When bandits attempt to use the courts to achieve their aims through temporary injunctions, the court should be wise enough to navigate through, let alone the supreme court.

It would have made sense if the shoppers went to the high court, attached the CBN and got the injunction. Maybe the shoppers had to do a quick market run and go where they have traders.

very funny... So u expect to find evidence of bribery in their house right?? What happened to SPV and offshore accounts in 3rd parties names?? What happened to commercial and residential properties in 3rd parties name.. See bro leave what u are saying those 21 judges of supreme Court are corrupt and sells judgement to the highest bidder... Quote me anywhere

lordkush:
The had no business meddling. Buhari has been flouting Cory orders. This is just another one.


Supreme Court of rascals

Please don't undermine the court..it's not good for us.
Thank you.

Imagine the CBN of a countryreporting to a president that is answerable to the Nigerian constitution telling a country it is not accountable to the Apex court in the land?

The judicial chaos, anarchy, impunity, illegality, brigandage and lawlessness visited upon this failed nation by the APC is unprecedented.

In as much as na PDP person you be, I must follow agree with you on this. Imagine a president who is a beneficiary of the democratic process implementing a policy that has the capacity to cause nation wide anarchy thus truncating the democratic process of the 25th of February. The audacity of the president and his minions in the CBN to disobey a supreme Court order!!!

DeepSight:
1. How can one explain a CBN Governor joining a political party and campaigning for the office of president?
2. How can one explain a change of currency policy which the Minister of Finance of a country is completely unaware of?

You see, Nigeria is the greatest country in the world. It makes magic and miracles possible every day.

It is Buhari and God will put him to shame for punishing Nigerians.

Should this be a question at all?

Correct questions will be can Nigerians have disputes to settle over monetary matters and which court of Nigeria landscape will be constitutionally burdened to settle the disputes?

Criminal minded person and lawyers must always seeks corridors of deceits and confusions to gain an upper hand over monetary matters. It is a shame to humanity that we must always have twisted minds around twisting things to favour. Twisters are no brainers and do not benefit the Nigerian society but only themselves and they do it criminally ready to kill too.


Pray for Nigeria to have less success for twisted minds and their twisted logics.

Check the cases very well, those men contested the elections, check well before you form your opinions.

This one affects even the unborn baby whose hospital fees couldnt be paid because transer went bad and there was no bank to help with the cash.The rest is history..

TotoGame:
Their Lordships will decide tomorrow

Your lords have no jurisdiction over legal tender. Such confused, notoriously biased judges.

No.

And, they're aware of that.

They're only wasting time to make pronouncement as to avoid being cut up in the current political web of crisis.

so only selected suupreme court orders should be obeyed?

When DSS wanted to investigate CBN , Emefiele, Nigerian Army on alleged terrorism funding... Emefiele and his Lawyers ran to court and got a court order barring his arrest


.

Legally, there's no dispute between the States and FG.
The dispute is between the States and CBN, but they couldn't sue CBN, so they sued FG because they know they can't sue CBN.
The case is a futile academic exercise to buy time for them to be able to deploy their massive cache of old naira notes for the buying of votes during the election.
Buhari is rightly ignoring the thieves called state governors.
I am negatively affected by the chaotic manner of the exercise but I would rather endure till after the election, if that would make those rogues called governors to be contained from carrying out their criminal enterprise during the election.

TheOgaBoss:

No,of course but what does one do against the kind of executive lawlessness being perpetrated by President Buhari except fight it with everything at one's disposal.Thank God the "on the masses side"governors are calling the bluff of Buhari.
