ONWAI1, biko pls tell me, what crimes have Gadaffi committed? i dont know why u people enjoy spreading rumours

he loved his country too much,
he did not respect the west,
he has not borrowed money from IMF,
he thought other African leaders should be like him.
he rose against rebels, that are still being called rebels even by the backers,
HE DID NOT KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE POWER.

check this link. Fraud is a section 419 offence, that is the origin.

luluosas:
As far as the process of becoming the Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN, is by seniority, why the shout over North - South palava?

that is my point, southern lawyers stayed in the bar, while northerners go to bench, the likes of FRA, Gani, Awolowo, Sofola, Afe Babalola, Bola Ige and many others could have made CJN, if they did not choose money making over power.

North knows what they want and they stategised for it, in the South its always crying foul even when laid sown rules are being followed.

xterra2:
Wow so the north has a plan to make sure Judiciary remains in its grip 

But our judiciary is very corrupt 

Southerners and whining.  Below is the list of past CJN, 1958 - 1987 has been Southerner, I did not think the North complained,

Wow, people are now paying to watch novelty match, lol, roflmao

This was the same way Awolowo was treated by Gowon, he was even appointed as vice chairman of the council. If she is up to the task, good for us. Others should just work for the good of the country. The presidency is that of G E J, he has the responsibility for failure or success they should obey him or leave his government.

komek:
@afam,na Federal Character, this is one thing that is killing the country. Competent hands will not be allowed 2 run the affairs of this country. They will go 2 chad or niger republic and bring one 'MALU' rearer and give him an appointment in the name of FEDERAL CHARACTER.

Judiciary is not Federal Character but seniority. You join the line when you become federal judge.
Southerners dont like to become judges, they stay as lawyers making money.

klas:
Sometimes I wonder about the significance of the south lead in western education if it cannot be used strategically to its advantage. In the succession list I posted above, one would think that there are no southerner supreme court justices. There are but supreme court justices are categorised as the chief justice and all others are associate justices. They are ranked by seniority on bench and must retire by age of 70. If you clock 70 as associate justice when you have a chief justice who is younger than you, you will never become a chief. North always take this into calculation since 1980s in presenting judges for promotion to supreme court and court of appeal even federal high court.

how many peaople know that the past 3, the current and the next 3 presidents of court of appeal are northerners. Even Ayo Salami is a northerner from kwara state.

Southerners dont like to become judges, they stay as lawyers making money. FRA, Sofola, Gani, Odje, Babalola, kasumu and many others stayed at the bar when their Northern counterparts moved to the bench. You cant eat your cake and have it.

Pastor Oritsejafor may just be protecting his own bank, Eagleflight MFB. Check below info and link,

http://eagleflightbank.com/index.html


http://eagleflightbank.com/chairman_statement.html

Founded in 2005, Eagle Flight Microfinance Bank is a financial institution licensed with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and based in the city of Warri. Eagle Flight aims to encourage entrepreneurial development, instill a culture of savings and bridge the gap between the poor and the rich using technology. Eagle Flight Microfinance Bank does not report to the Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX), but the chairman of the bank, Pastor Helen Oritsejafor, reported that Eagle Flight had NGN 1 billion (USD 6.47 million) in share capital as of December 2010.

iSad and iQuit releasesd at the same time.

May you enjoy the rest ot you life though. All the best, Steve

teskyg:
Salami is not bigger than Nigeria.The ACN and CPC did not appoint him as the President of the Appeal Court the in the First place and so should not be responsible for the agitation for his continue stay in office to cover up their shady pacts with him.

We all worked in Corporate organization and we are sometime moved around to other units.He has behave in such in an unprofessional manner by refusing promotion to the Supreme Court .This is unheard of in history .An act of Insubordination.His Sins are many.To hell with ACN,

It is unprecedented too for Appeal court president to move to Supreme court and become a junior member, they always retire as President of Appeal Court. Law profession as rule.
Appointment in Judiciary is mostly based on seniority not so much a political arrangement. If you ask, the line up for CJN up next 10 may have been complied by now.

PointB:
@Topic,

Why can we offer him asylum? Is that there is no space for a 'mad man' at Yaba Psychiatric Hospital or have we run out space at Maximum Security Prison in Kirikiri? Whichever way we classify him, there would be enough space for the inglorious bast.ard!

The "mad man" led a country that has highest GDP in Africa, owing nobody a dime. has hospitals that work, refineries that produce enough for his people, creates work and housing for all his people, but forgot to recognise that there is life after power.

If our own "sane men" could achieve at least one of his achievements most university graduates driving taxis in US, washing plates in London, prostituting in Italy, carrying drugs in Singapore etc etc, would not have left shore of their countries.

afam4eva:
Without sounding tribal. Why is that most judges in the supreme court, court of appeal et al are usually northerners.

It is purely by seniority from the date you join Federal High Court.

Obiagu1:
Interesting. Well, if she succeeds, GEJ will take the credit.

Rumour has it that she left OBJ cabinet because of argument on who should take credit for debit cancellation deal. lets see what will happen this time.

Okonjo is now assuming the posture of Awolowo in Gowon's cabinet, Maybe GEJ should hand over to her immediately if he thinks Okonjo is solution to all our anticipated success, the Messi in his team. lol

Golden Rule: Do whatever it takes to avoid having anything to do with police, not even as personal friend. It is a pity.

I wonder how the Nigeria Police will be feeling now. Always jumping to conclusion without investigation.

They said this man was missing not kidnapped just because no one has claimed or called for ransome at the time they went to press.

Same way Onovo publicly claimed that Nuhu Ribadu was never in Nigeria even when TVs showed him at Gani Fawehinmi house.

Na wa oo

Nigerdock is a PLC.

www.nigerdock.com

^^^ they are really trying, that is what Nigerdock should do. get refurbished and upgraded to be able to handlle those PMs in Nigeria. That will create a lot of business for artisans and material suppliers just as they have in places like Limbe, Port gentile, Shahaja and other places these MODUs go for repairs.

^^^ that semi must just get there few days ago. the last time I drove by, a jack up was there and it is still there at Ladol dockyard, I know that definitely.

That is how a society should work, just days after riot, culprits are begining to know their fate. If na naija, na only big big grammar we go dey hear,

"We will get them"
"We will leave no stone unturned"
"There will be no sacred cow"

bla bla bla bla
then a committee will be set up.

Wrong people will be arrested,

the poor people will rot in jail awaiting trial, You can imagine the rest.

^^^ it may be on transit awaiting custom papers, TIP (temporary import permit. It can also be maintenance. Most maintenance other that dry dock can be done in Lagos.

NL people dem, a o una dey?

@psychu, if the one you saw is pictured up there, that is a semi submersible, used to drill in fairly deepwater environment (>500ft) jack up has three legs sticking up.

Chemical Engineers

NSCHe Annual Conference, Exhibition and AGM is coming up 10 - 12 November, 2011 at Eko Hotel Lagos, Nigeria. Please see attached copies of the flyier or visit www.nsche.org.ng for more information.

lol, yes, it is an oil drilling rig. They are at the dock to carry out PM preventive maintenance on the rig itself All heavy equipment do that on schedule. They used to go to Limbe in Cameron or Port Gentle in Garbon but Nigerian content is making sure they stay in Nigeria as much as possible now.

not at cms, but at apapa dock, it is jack up rig on maintenance.

There is no need to buy a book when you leave in the library.

^^^ my sister just pray to God, that you don't resemble who they want. those guys don't discriminate btw poor or rich. they know that someone somewhere will drop something or even waste the person.

it is so sad and frightening that these guys are being trained to be come sailors, an area that we have very scase resources since the demise of NNSL
If these is their character, i wonder the kind of vessel captains and cheif mates they will become, hope we are not breeding[b] "Pirates of Bight of Biafra"[/b]

passyjango:
A father should be blamed for how his son turns out. He was his responsibility and he failed him, that is probably why he turned out the way he did. I would have agreed with you if it were the other way around. I will not want to go into the psychology of how he became a terrorist, but I am sure his father is not totally free of any blame.

However, you do not need to be a good father to be a good banker, so I do not see how his failings to his child is relevant in this case.

That is it, you may be against him if is elected as chairman of parent teacher association of you kids school, not charmain of a bank. after all we cope with brats and spoilt kids as long as they are good strikers or sports men. Chukwukifu Oputa is one of best jugdes in Nigeria, are you saying his son, Charlie Boy is an example of best kids?
