A judge can make an ex parte order for winding down a company or appointing a receiver or distraining properties of anyone in default of paying tax. Any rooky new wig knows this.

That however has nothing to do with commencing an action with a Motion on Notice. There is no action in Nigeria that can be commenced through a Motion on Notice because a Motion on Notice is not an Originating process.

Clearly you have comprehension issues.

Hahaha. You are so funny. All these technicalities have been thrown into the bin even by judges. I am sure you are still young. In Nigeria that a judge gave a winding down order even without the plaintiff serving the defendant grin Honeywell vs Ecobank by Yunnusa

Clearly OP has no idea what he's talking about.

There is no court action in Nigeria that can be commenced with a Motion on Notice.

Court actions are commenced by Writs of Summons, Originating Summons, Originating Motion etc.

Secondly, it was an interim injunction that was dismissed and not the main suit itself, so Gbajabiamila still has a case to answer.

Bloggers should consult a lawyer before posting rubbish on legal technicalities.
Do you mean Nigerian Bloggers? Consult who? And miss out on being the first to break the trash they think is news? You mustn't be resident in this country... undecided

When people always say the problem of Nigeria is the leaders I always laugh. So this is a man that violated the trust of his clients. He stole $25k closed his firm and left the country only to pay back 4 years later after he was forced to. So tell me hasn’t the man shown you he can’t be trusted with any kind of political power?

We say we have bad leaders but then we ELECT and support them. If he is willing to risk jail time in America where there is rule of law, imagine what he can and will do in Nigeria. Only in Nigeria.
Such cases wouldn't have been instituted or brought to the public glare if he wasn't vying for the speakership, come on, he has spent couple of years in D system already, cases like this should have been brought forward prior to even contesting to be a member in d first place, but u know my country, anything goes!

yes what he did was bad but was he convicted? did he even spend a day in jail? you clowns will wail till eternity. he's going to be the speaker.

the saraki you supported is better than him? or the atiku with all the US indictments and OBJ's negative review is better?


he was never convicted. the did something wrong but the case was settled

Let's stop supporting a criminal because he is our brothers.I can see how Yoruba are backing their ex convicted brother because a man from another ethnicity exposed his past criminal record.
oh he was convicted? how many days did he spend in jail? you lots are illiterates

he was found to guilty of wrong doing and asked to refund the money. he was debarred for a few years as punishment but never convicted!!! go and learn English language

There is one basic question people are not asking: Was Gbaja convicted of the offence of fraud and dishonesty in Georgia, USA?

We need to start putting sentiments, emotions and tribe aside and seek the truth.

We should expect basic rectitude from our citizens and leaders alike.

If a student is known to lie and commit fraud, can he/she be elected as class prefect at King's College or Queens College Lagos, Govt College Ibadan, Christ The King's College Onitsha, St Finbarr's Yaba, ICC Benin-City, FGGC Owerri, FGGC Zaria or any other reputable Secondary school, never mind NASS? shocked shocked shocked
oh so you've never lied? he was debarred. if the offence is that serious he would have been convicted which means he'll go to jail. he never spend a day in jail.

to be convicted means he served term in prison. he wasn't convicted. simple English!!!

It is politics win some lose some. For 16yrs we won comprehensively and if we lose now so be it. No big deal we will win again after all, we won 15 states governorship from a paltry 9 in 2015! That. In itself is victory so much so it puts apc in crisis.

Only narrow folks see things from a jaundiced position and gloat over a pdp's momentum like it is a disaster. It make robust engagement impossible with such people who are so petty to only be seeking bragging rights. Ciao.
lol you won for 16yrs? funny

I have never lied in a professional capacity. In my environment a lie can cost you very dearly. Not like 9ja where anything goes. If Gbaja lies to his mum or wife about family stuff I do not want to know. But professionally I care because it shows his moral fibre in a position of public responsibility and trust.

Being debarred is still very serious. One deemed not of good enough character to be doing something that requires decent people to be doing. Can such a person become congressman in USA? So you can see why people run to USA and Europe for simple stuff like ear infection treatment.

Look we can defend the indefensible due to parochial reasons but remember we are not going to leave a good nation that our children deserve doing things that way. We wouid be shooting ourselves in the foot.

In summary,gbaja is not an ex convict and is qualified to contest.the issue before the court is not about morals or profession misconduct but whether he was ever convicted by a judge.this is clearly false.he was only sanctioned by a law association and this doesn't affect his right to contest.end the argument

I hear you. If people of questionable morale and character are the best to lead a country, good luck to you. At the end those that defend morally bankrupt elements in power actually have more to lose. Let's continue in mediocrity. The future will tell.
