engineerboat:Lol....it's a different lawsuit. I truly overestimated you on this platform. While the Abuja high court gave him an exparte order to act as chairman (through Salihu the plaintiff who now denies knowledge of such order) the Rivers State suit instituted against Gaidom stripped him of every right and privileges of a Member of the NWC which included him acting as Chairman. |
engineerboat:The Rivers State High Court through the State APC chairman already did that. The onus is on Gaidom to challenge the verdict in a court of higher jurisdiction. |
engineerboat:Signing anything doesn't make it legal so far it's not in tandem with the constitution of the nation and the party. APC has made it equivocally clear that's there nothing like waiver for contesting NWC members, which is common sense, this is the first time in Nigeria that we are hearing that you can be a NWC member (Umpire) and still be a contestant, who does that? Waivers in APC only applies to Article 31 (1) (i) which refers to non party members contesting under the party. The Rivers State high court has rightfully ruled in favour of the above. |
engineerboat:Lol, even you? How can Gaidom be a member of the NWC (the umpire) and still be a contestant at the same time? Can you be a judge in your case? Their is nothing like waiver for NWC members contesting and still retaining their position in APC constitution. And it's even against the law of natural justice. |
fergie001:Oshiomole granting it doesn't make it legal. You're right, this is right time for lawyers and judges to cash out big time. Na court go settle am Las Las |
fergie001:Check the conditions very well and you'll know it only applies to (i). There can't be waiver for (ii) - Nomination by constituents through primaries (direct, indirect, consensus), you don't waive nomination (primaries). The conditions for waiver also applies only to (i) |
fergie001:The waiver applies only to Article 31(i) and not (ii) and (iii)
|
Our Judiciary na Olosho, Money for hand back for ground. Even at midnight Nigeria court is still open for business...lol Before the end of tomorrow Tinubu's camp too will shop for a counter court ruling (ex-parte or interlocutory) to throw out Gaidom, and the cycle continues. But one thing is certain, when it comes to Judicial abracadabra, all Nigerian politicians dey learn from Tinubu. |
youthofnaija:It's almost 2 hours, where is the datails coming shortly... |
Throwback:Chai, see finishing

onez:What is impunity in the fact that a Governors' Certificate is shrouded in such controversy and secrets, whereas to get a 40k job you're subjected to documentation. When Oshiomole supported and rigged an unknown stooge (Obaseki) in ahead of a more popular Ize Iyamu why didn't he cry against godfatherism? When Obaseki refused to swear in 14 duly elected HOA members, did you cried impunity? See, this guys are the same, when the system favours they rejoice and shares their spoils alone, so allow them to morn and wail alone when they fall victim of the same system that made them. |
Whiteangel1234:Okay we've heard you. Is that all? |
Guy stop sounding like a broken record, regurgitating the same empty threat and emotional blackmail over and over again. Vote whoever you want to vote. |
BREAKING: APC panel disqualifies Obaseki from primary electionhttps://twitter.com/thecableng/status/1271448553697824771?s=20 All Progressives Congress (APC) Screening Committee for Edo State Governorship election has declared Governor Godwin Obaseki unqualified due to some discrepancies in his educational certificates and NYSC.https://thenationonlineng.net/breaking-apc-disqualifies-obaseki-two-others/

—Inspirational Children’s Day story of the Olanipekuns 6th June 2020 “Children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.” Wednesday was Children’s Day and I find no better Children’s Day story than the story of Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, one of today’s high-profile lawyers, a leader seen as the “new FRA Williams” and how he inspired his children to become Senior Advocates of Nigeria through a rare fatherly act of taking his children out of school to celebrate his elevation as SAN at age 39. His two sons; Dr. Dapo and Bode Olanipekun then went on to break their father’s record, taking the coveted silk at a younger age. It is the stuff that makes a great biography and I am on it. When Chief Wole Olanipekun says his two sons are more brilliant than him, you could see it from talking to them. For three hours, I was talking to Bode Olanipekun, the Managing Partner of Wole Olanipekun and Co and he shared this childhood memoir. My dad took the silk in July, 1991. I was eight years old. I remember clearly the day he took the silk. I was in Primary 4 at the University of Ilorin Staff Primary School. My brother was also in that school as well as one of my siblings. So my dad had come to pick us at about noon. They had just finished the Privileges Committee meeting and had communicated the news that he was one of the seven successful applicants that year. Dad wanted his family to be the first he would break the news to. My mum also joined us. I recall he took us to a restaurant, prayed, broke the news and we were all excited. I didn’t know the implication of being a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The reality dawned on me at night when we were watching the NTA Network News. The only thing that made me realize this thing was a big deal was that I saw my dad’s name was Number Seven because he was youngest on the list. He became SAN at the age of 39, the youngest in that year of elevation. At some point I was going to change my mind from studying law while I was still in school. I told my dad I didn’t feel like studying law any longer. He asked: “What is your other option?” I replied: “Economics.” I was doing very well in Economics. I was getting very good grades in Economics. So I wanted Economics. He asked: “What was the reason?” I replied: “I have looked at lawyers. They don’t make money on time. Economics is about figures.” I then gave him a few examples of economists in Nigeria who I thought were successful in monetary terms. I said to him: “I have looked at you lawyers, you people would strive very hard before you make it.” Dad then sat me down to say: “Son, in life, everything is not about money. If that is the only reason you don’t want to study law, it is not justifiable. What law would guarantee would be a steady income if you are consistent in working hard.” From then, going forward, I really never thought this was not the right thing for me. I went for my Master’s in Commercial and Maritime Law at the University of Wales, Swansea. I came back home and had the rare opportunity of working with Mike Igbokwe, SAN and Co and I was working directly with Mike Igbokwe such that by the time I was completing my NYSC, I had already crossed swords with two SANs. I had appeared in court alone against two Senior Advocates of Nigeria that I had already confronted in court and after court they called me and said: “Well done!” So I knew that the future had something that I could aspire to and Mr. Igbokwe was one of the best people to learn law from because he taught you the right things—diligence, hard work. https://www.sunnewsonline.com/father-and-sons-in-law/ Cc: Lalasticlacla, Mynd44 |
olajide111:Please back up your claim with a link, then I can take you serious. I don't engage in beer parlour arguments. |
olajide111:I gave a link to back up my claim but you cited none and you claim I'm the one making assumptions? |
lol...make I no talk |
Earlystar698:Should we start lecturing you on the difference between Erosion and flood? |
Sammy07:Sharing of Kerosene and Eba with Egusi is enough dividend of democracy for our blodass na. |
Sammy07:If their Governors did half of what Aketi did, they won't be flooding our lands like pest and refugees. But they are less concerned about happenings in their state, they'll rather wail on Lagos/SW matter. |
SLAP44:I guess Ikpeazu that has been unable to finish his dinning table size flyover for over 5years is Married to an Osu. The fact is, the yardstick of leadership in the SW is quite high that Aketi's achievements seems normal (mimiko also did quite well). That's why your ancestors, your youths and your generations to come will keep packing themselves like sardine inside ekene dilichuckwu night bus to SW. |
Mires:You're free |
arinzos:What's past glory about 10 years ago. In ten years OAU was the best 5 times while UNN only came top once. You know ratings aren't static so you can pick a year and claim you're the best. What can be more consistent than being the best for 5 consecutive years? |
arinzos:That's the current rating...Can you check for the past 10years? That Liverpool is the current UCL champion doesn't make it better than Realmadrid. |
Dagah2:What was your cumulative rating in the last 10years? OAU was the best 5 times, can same be said of UNN? Once I guess...5:1 |
Mires:According to Webometric and most other University rating bodies, in the last decade alone, OAU was the best Nigeria University for consecutive 5 years (The first Nigerian University to achieve such feat). https://theeagleonline.com.ng/oau-retains-best-nigerian-university-in-latest-webometrics-ranking/ In all professional exams e.g ICAN, COREN, LAW SCHOOL UNN no dey see IFE backlight. We only compete against UI and maybe UNILAG not some glorified Pig pen. |
RuudVanNisteroy:It seems the word Billionaire is a Chieftaincy Title in that your part of the country....Every body with small esusu change is entitled to the title. |
"General Hospital" Indeed.
|
OAU be like heaven to UNN lol. Of the greatest IFE

JasonScoolari:Lol, Nasir Elrufai is a small boy, not even in the class of Saraki, Kwankwanso, Wamako, Ali modu Sheriff etc. Tinubu will trounce him hands down even in the north. Elrufai only appeal to some few modern northern elite and not the talakawas and the old northern oligarchy. When you talk of war chest, Influence and People Elrufai still dey learn. The only match to Tinubu in the Nigeria political field is Atiku. |
