This golden brown gown again?

After filling up all the strategic offices with their people. No froblem.

Seriously?

Onyoshi.

Observing. In the kneseth.

Seen. Next!

See the change I've been waiting for...
Humble Smith

Abeg make una spell Michael Jackson's name well.

Lol.

I want some.

You can't put this possibility past the northern cabal. In fact, it's the kind of thing they are more likely to do than not.

Op, you too like bwest.

Terribly sacrilegious things we condone and tolerate from pastors. Even those whose silence emboldens the excesses of these pastors, and thereby allow the name of God to be made a mockery of, will not be spared from the wrath of God to come.

See another long epistle from this twerp that is stylishly begging me to cite a case, so he can get a free tutorial. How many times must I tell you to get off my mentions? Or can't you understand English anymore? Your incoherent ramblings mean nothing to me. Relate whatever cases you want to yourself. It does not make you any less empty, than you already are. Everyone on this board can read your meaningless rhetoric. Now buzz off!

Please now. Just one case.

Prove what? Were you on planet Mars, when I cited Article 46 of the UN Protocol on Indigenous Persons to you? Were you on planet Jupiter, when I told you what the ICJ relied upon in order to arrive at its ruling, in the Nigeria vs. Cameroun case concerning the ownership of Bakassi? Apart from that, there are several other threads on NL, which I have contributed to, in areas that deal with international law. I do not have time to school you, or bring you up to speed in those areas in which you are deficient. I told you a while ago to get off my mentions, but instead of doing that, you are still here begging me for a tutorial. Receive sense, abeg!

I believe it takes more effort to embark on your ego massage than doing the needful. Anyone, especially in Nigeria, can access the judgemental of ICJ on the Cameroun case due to different things it represents (particularly a reminder of the consequences of putting your worst foot forward in contests). As for the UN Charters, all you need is to browse the net and you will find whatever you need; anyone can do any of that. Even school children, youths in religious enclaves are taught these things these and as can cite articles in UN Charters. I don't even want to mention historian journalists like you whose job requires smattering knowledge of relevant UN Charters or the Cameroun case.

The only point of difference between these groups and those schooled in the art of the law is the ability to relate with CASES (plural and not singular).

Just give us a case and you are here blabbing about your Nairaland achievements as if Nairaland has some academic rating. If you are grounded on the subject, just give us ONE case as requested (there are tons of such cases). And to indulge you further, you may wish to provide a link to your Nairaland post where you treated an issue on self determination wherein you cited a case to back your argument

laudate:
This comment you made has just exposed how empty you are. In fact, your emptiness is 'irremediable.' You cited a case, but when reference was made to that case, you digressed and started rambling. You were even asked to questions pertaining to the ruling on that case, but you dodged the question and started perambulating. Now you are claiming you cited cases! You are just a wasted comedian. Oya, continue entertaining us with your incoherent ramblings. You want people to think you are knowledgeable, meanwhile you are empty as a zero. You are NL's online clown....

Nwokem, put your money where your mouth is. Prove your so-called mettle in international law by citing a case on the principles of the place of domestic legislative instruments in international obligations and basic human rights. You are there calling me a clown as if being a clown is degrading. Shut up there, my friend. Shameless noisemaking impostor. Just provide something tangible to back your claims and you are here yakking nonsense.

My friend, kobinua. Shut your mouth

But this same Adeosun was there when Buhari wanted to borrow over 30 billion dollars to rebuild North East. Only God saved us through the house of Senate.

Behold the disciples and followers of Barack Obama.

laudate:
Look at this clown. You keep proving me right, with each comment you make. Now continue entertaining everyone here with your rants. Don't stop...

Oga, if you have the faintest idea what you are arguing about as you claim, tell us another case on the subject. I earlier on gave us two. Show us your international law prowess and give us a case on international law other than the one I'd given. I am not even asking you for the facts or a narrative of the issues in the case. Just the name of the case.

If you don't do that then your case is irremediable.

laudate:
Didn't I tell you before that the more comments you make, the more you allow us to see that our mind is actually empty? Didn't I also tell you that you are only good for nothing, except to provide entertainment? You just proved it. Oya, resume your ranting....and continue the show.

Didn't I this, didn't I that. You always prove true to type - only good at asking questions like the historian journalist you're. It's only emptiness and inability to discern that compel people of your ilk to be obsessed with endless questions. And to make matters worse, they won't even recognize the answers when they are proffered.

Nnamikot.

laudate:
Anuofia! The reenactment you could NOT provide several pages back, when you were asked to do so? The reenactment of the ICJ ruling, that you dodged before deciding to take refuge in banalities, when you were asked to substantiate your views? See this efulefu!

You thought I would indulge your lack of substance and perpetuate your shortcut sensibilities. Tell me, of what use will it be for me to refer you to authorities on a subject and then turn round to tell you exactly what I expected you to gain from the referred material. People like you have the habit of asking their teachers to help them in solving assignments.

It's not surprising, after all you like to be spoon fed.

Osochiegbu like you.

laudate:
Oh dear, you are still here ranting and showing us how shallow your mind is. Please continue... keep providing us with good entertainment! Daalu zi!

Are you leaving? You don't want a reenactment of the facts and issues in the Cameroun case anymore?

Ojele.

You do not even know the kind of qualifications I hold in international law, yet you are here making unfounded noise. I told you before : "The more you talk, the more you expose your unmitigated ignorance and delusion. You have NOT been able to answer any of the questions posed to you so far, instead you take refuge in sly derision, contemptuous comments and insulting innuendoes." And you just proved it again with your lengthy needless epistle, full of sound and fury signifying nothing! Now, have the floor and continue to spew more garbage, so that everyone can actually see that you have nothing upstairs.

What qualification do you have? If at all you have any such qualification in international law, I bet you must have been taught by a misguided prof like Oyebode in one of those private schools dotting all over the Nigerian landscape. Little wonder you reason like a historian journalist only interested in interviewing for answers rather than reading for them, especially when you have been referred to a source. Your problem is self-inflicted. Should you want to do another academic program, please choose a school properly so called.

You know what? The more you talk, the more you expose your unmitigated ignorance and delusion. You have NOT been able to answer any of the questions posed to you so far, instead you take refuge in sly derision, contemptuous comments and insulting innuendoes. Your plight is really beyond redemption. I cannot help you if you refuse to learn, or to free your mind. The day you decide to list all the substantive issues addressed by the ICJ in the Nigeria vs. Cameroun case concerning Bakassi peninsula, in accordance with international law principles, then you would be taken seriously. Now, please kindly get off my mentions.

You are an archetype of Nigeria and a true example of the problem with Nigeria, always waiting to be spoon fed with everything, always seeking the next shortcut to solution.

I won't indulge you pathological shortcut mentality here; it's not my making that you are not grounded in the subject under discussion. Take the advice I proffered and get schooled in a proper academic environment.

All your driveling and antics for me to chronicle ALL issues in the Cameroun case are just consistent with your nature but I won't be moved by it. I referred you to the case ab initio and if it's in your nature to refer people to a subject you know nothing about, well I am different.

Go and read the case as advised or, better still, go and study international law. By so doing you would have solved one of Nigeria's problems of shortcut and hard work in your own life.

They have come again o.

We can't wait to have our president back. And we hope it will be permanent home coming for him.

We can no longer afford to have a president in absentia.

By a unanimous voice vote, members of the House of Representatives at plenary on Tuesday jettisoned the government policy which subsumed Christian Religious Knowledge, CRK in Civic Education as a compulsory subject in the Secondary School curriculum.
Christian Religious Knowledge
This followed a motion titled “Call to make Civic Education an optional instead of a compulsory subject for Senior Certificate Examination”, filed by Hon. Beni Lar from Plateau State.
The members after an exhaustive debate on the motion agreed that the policy was incongruent with the spirit and letters of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) on the provision of religious liberties.
The members agreed that students with the inputs of their parents at formative years should be taught the religious subjects of their choice in school.
Essentially, the House while pointing out that the policy makers erred ab initio also agreed Islamic Studies and CRK should be taught independently and separately in the spirit of the constitution.
It will be recalled that the issue recently became a subject of controversy whereupon tempers flared.

True.

You see, until you can free your mind to think logically, I can't help you. You keep running from pillar to post clutching at straws, in a bid to sound important. Unfortunately, your ignorance becomes more apparent with every effort you make.

You started by trying to use the matrimonial causes act, to draw parallels with principles of international law. Next, you laid emphasis on Nigeria's argument at the Nigeria vs Cameroun case at the ICJ, where you stated that 'Nigerian domestic arrangement was used as a basis to escape its international obligations,' as if that argument was a superior one. Now, you have started rambling about how 'the judgement of the court in that case has several issues which came up.' Your statements are full of form without substance. Can you see all the empty shadows you have been chasing?

Ok, outline those several issues contained in the judgement of the court, so that everyone can see what you are trying to say. List them out one by one. Just ensure you do not end up confusing yourself as usual, in your parochial stubbornness.

My friend, I am not a historian like you. And if you expect me to embark on a narrative of the issues addressed by the court in Cameroun case when I don't need to for obvious reasons (which cannot be obvious to a historian like you), you are wasting your time. I have already drawn your attention to the issue relevant to the matter in hand but you keep on carrying on like the historian you are. It's not my fault that you don't know case analysis which belongs in the realm of advocacy; I won't turn a lecturer here on case analysis just to pull you out of legal oblivion.

This your enumerate this and that can't portray you as knowing what you are saying, when you can't even make a head or tail of what I am talking about.

If someone is ignorant of a rocket science it is a waste of time trying to remedy his plight on Nairaland forum, especially where the ignoramus has no potential whatsoever for a good student on the subject.

International law was one my favorite areas as a student and I have some of the best authoritative texts in it my library. Just so you know. If you want to know case analysis, go and study law and stop exposing your ignorance here.

Oga, it is you who has adopted 'evasiveness' as your middle name. And it is your own ignorance that is so appalling, o! I have made it clear to you, the various facts that the ICJ relied upon, in order to arrive at their judgement. They include (but are not limited to) pre-colonial maps, the fact that Bakassi fell within Cameroun's territory etc. The Anglo-German agreements concerning Bakassi, the historical antecedents to the dispute, international border demarcations, The Lagos Declaration of June 21, 1971 and The Kano Declaration of September 1, 1974 etc., were also some of the key issues considered by the ICJ in reaching a decision.

Instead of looking at those facts, you keep pointing to Nigeria's argument in the Nigeria vs. Cameroun case, as if Nigeria's argument survived the scrutiny of the ICJ, or as if it won them victory in that case. You are waving the argument made by Nigeria, (or to use your own words - 'using Nigerian domestic arrangement as a basis to escape its international obligations')- in the air, as if it is foolproof. Ok, state the part of Nigeria's argument that grabbed your attention, which you feel should have won the case for them. The fact that such an argument did not win the case, shows that it was defective from day one. So why are you still making noise about it?

Now, you need to take your own advice and stop being clever by half and ask your people to get expert international lawyers to offer them sound advice on the next steps to take!

My friend, that you quoted some report of what the ICJ said to the two parties in paraphrase has actually lent credence to what I've been saying. The judgement of the court in that case has several issues which came up and it's one of those that I've been drawing your attention to but your parochial stubbornness won't allow you to understand basic principles of advocacy. I am beginning to think that I have been wasting my time and I doubt if you are even a lawyer. Otherwise, how on earth can you not understand rudimentary aspects of analysis of judgment.

Well, you ask: "So why are you still making noise about it?" It's simply because your so called Russia trained prof is putting up similar feeble arguments in his interview as was done by Bola Ajibola (and Co) who was a judge advocate in the case.

All your submissions are are akin to what a historian will do: just give us a narrative of what took place without more. This is not an issue for historians, okay? Thank you.

I have come to realize that the point I am making is beyond your understanding and apparently there is nothing I can do to change you except you take your time to undergo proper training in international law, case analysis and advocacy in a proper university, not all these Nigerian private universities you people run to for quick action
