Igbo amaka. Ndidi to the world ❣️

Her name is Didi, not Ndidi.

She's Ijaw from Tombia, Bayelsa State. How did you manage to sneak "N" into her name when Didi is written clearly in the report

Paraman:
Congratulation to her. She should be from wike's state

No. She's from Tombia, Bayelsa State

Umuinyioku:
Yes. From Rivers State. She's Ikwerre but married to Opobo man. They're both from Rivers State.

Kudos to Wike who has a hand in this.

You are wrong and very bold. She's not Ikwerre.

She's an Ijaw woman from Tombia Bayelsa State.
Her father was even a traditional ruler in Bayelsa - HRH Christian Atani Otobotekere, the Okun XIX, Amananaowei of Tombia

seborrhic:
Most blogs are useless and run by jobless,semi literate entities.
But it's instructive to note here that the Borno government press release neither debunked that the governor's son is schooling in India,nor involved in an altercation with anyone following a tussle over a puccy.That should have been the main cross of the the rebuttal that would have put out any doubt that the boy was anywhere near such an incident.
They also instructively didn't deny that he takes alcohol.
Height of hypocrisy!

You forgot to add. They did not threaten action against the blog in their usual manner.

This rebuttal is weak and opens more room for suspicion and confirmation of the truism of the said report

No respite in sight

They just want to expand their expensive lifestyles by a few more centimeters

Remman post=131008437:
Parenting failed in Ijaw since 1980s and Bayelsa is their headquarters. Even Rivers wey start Deygbam and Deywell dey joke where Bayelsa same cults own dey. Their own, them no dey play am with sense like other Ijaw dominated states.

That is an overstatement of truth.

It is not an Ijaw thing. The menace is everywhere in Nigerian society, don't make it look like it is peculiar to Ijaws with your summary statement

Bluntemperor:
Are you ok at all?
Is President Tinubu the focus here or you just mentioned his name to cast aspersions on him,as some of you are too bitter to get your facts.
Did he seek for Bello released,at anytime ?
Some of you will just press your button,at your comfort zones and even accuse the executive,as if there is no division of duties between the Executive,the Legislatures and the Judiciary.
Please,go back to School and learn the difference between the three arms of government in a Presidential System.

The commander in chief of the security agencies in Nigeria that has refused to arrest Yaya Bello except giving excuses are all controlled by Tinubu.

That is the connection.

Maybe you will get angry too when people call out your president for the soldiers providing security for the lawfully deposed emir of Kano too.

Tinubu has total control over all our security agencies in our democracy that's why people call him out when his law enforcement obviously refuse to do their job. I don't think that should be too much for anyone to understand, including you

Abi u honestly think say dem no fit arrest Yaya Bello

Nigerians are on their own. We are just living under the illusion that we have a sovereign state and government

Good that they gave option of fine and a reasonable one, as against their usual erection they get whenever they see ordinary people stand trial before them...wherein they lash out disproportionate heavy penalty

NOETHNICITY:
I was expecting to ask who the experts are if you are doubt.
That’s what a brilliant person who seeks the truth would do

A brilliant person would have added at least excerpts or figures from the experts he is quoting from while making elaborate claims such as the one he did.

Russia producing more than all NATO countries combined including the US is so elaborate that the claimant need not wait for a brilliant person to request before attaching relevant data to support the blanket statement.

Next time say, Russia produces more XYZ than NATO countries.

Triplerg:
It surprises me when fools like him keep painting that narrative. The US never failed in Afghanistan. Like you rightly said, they can't remain there forever.

Anybody u see saying that is just a troll.

America strolled into Afghanistan (a country thousands of miles away) and the Taliban ran away. They don't care about that but America leaving after 20 years.
Was America meant to stay there forever. I don't even understand these people.
Afghanistan is simply no longer in the strategic interest of the US and they left.

NOETHNICITY:
The US defense budget is an over-bloated package that allows for unimaginable corruption.

It is on record that the Pentagon cannot keep track of the dollars it already has, leading to massive waste, fraud and abuse in the military-industrial complex.

Massively inflated contracts and overpriced defense gadgets.


Russia with its tiny 100b dollar defense budget has proven to be a far more efficient and effective military industrial force.

Experts recently revealed that Russia defense industry is out producing the entire NATO military industrial base (including the United States 🇺🇸 military).

Some of you ehnnn

And Russia has been shopping for shells and other weapons from North Korea and Iran for years now

He said all NATO combined

“ According to Agim, by laying claim to Section 162 (4&5), the governors were using the Constitution to perpetrate unconstitutionality, adding the Constitution should not be applied in a manner that supported its destruction.

He faulted the narrow interpretation of Section 162(4) which stipulates that funds of the state and the LGs “shall” be paid into a joint state and local government account, stressing that the governors were using it negatively.

While stating that where the narrow interpretation of the section of the Constitution would result to injustice or work against the intended meaning of the said section of the Constitution, the Supreme Court shall employ an approach that would meet the purpose of the Constitution”.


Thank you very much.

I understand that you are not against local government autonomy. I understand that you view it from the point of the constitution.

[b]There has been for years, this raging debate about amending certain aspects of our constitution which are not in tandem with current realities. This is one of them. [/b]Thankfully the Supreme Court put to rest the irresponsibility of governors and state houses of assemblies, used to strangulate local governments and made grassroots development a mirage.

I have wondered how someone like Ibori should say that the judgement was against true federalism. I then asked if what we practice presently in the country is true federalism in its sense. If we practiced true federalism, how have local government, with this joint account with the states, become mere appendages of states and their governors? The rascality over the years by the governors and the verdict of the Supreme Court brought the clapping of hands by the citizens.


Justice Agim said “the Supreme Court shall employ an approach that would meet the purpose of the constitution”.
Is this assertion of the rules of the Supreme Court correct? If it is correct, how had the verdict become an assault on the constitution as posited by Mr. Ibori? How has the Supreme Court wrongly interpreted that section of the constitution?

We are saying two things that are not far from each other as regards governors abusing local government administration and the SC giving a verdict to remedy it.

@bold
In your words, you agreed that "There has been for years, this raging debate about amending certain aspects of our constitution which are not in tandem with current realities. This is one of them". Emphasis on "amending certain aspects of our constitution" and "this is one of them"
Now the question is: is the SC a law making body to amend that aspect of the constitution that needs amendment.
What exactly does Justice Agim mean by "it is the responsibility of the apex court to make a law that would serve the interest of the people and the country in general" when he was elucidating the approach adopted by the SC. To me, the SC is arrogating to itself, the powers of the National Assembly (legislature).

I think what I said has pretty much answered the two questions in your last paragraph.
The closest thing I can say is, maybe the SC employed the doctrine of necessity drawing from their ALTHOUGHs and BUTs.
The maxim: "that which is otherwise not lawful is made lawful by necessity"

The SC overstepping in this judgment is not even an argument. It is clear as daylight.

Thanks for the dialogue my brother and good evening.

Kukutenla:
God bless you. I just read the bolded and shook my head. Agim did not quote which part of the constitution gave the SC the "responsibility of the apex court to make a law that would serve the interest of the people and the country in general."
That is what we are calling attention to that all these numbskulls forming patriots are being selectively blind to. Agim summarily trashed the legislature and added their responsibility to the judiciary. The white man must be shocked if they read this judgement!!

Exactly my point. I don't understand our Supreme Court again and many of our lower courts.

Even when they seem to be doing the right thing, their judgments are filled with political statements. From using inappropriate language to explain their verdicts to simply just adding to constitutional provisions.

I really don't understand what Justice Agim means by "it is the responsibility of the apex court to make a law that would serve the interest of the people and the country in general".
This is a very dangerous precedent.

ElevationD:
Please read the below excerpts from the judgement and then let’s see how it it has affected true federalism, if there’s any, by Ibori.

“In the suit filed in May by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, the federal government had accused the state governments of running aground the third-tier of government.

According to the federal government, the states, by keeping funds duly allocated to the local governments, have starved them of needed funds for developing the grassroots and by extension responsible for the high rate of criminalities and insecurity in the country.

In the suit marked SC/CV/343/2024, the AGF prayed the apex court for an order prohibiting state governors from unilateral, arbitrary and unlawful dissolution of democratically elected local government executives.

Fagbemi in the originating summons, also prayed the apex court for an order permitting the funds standing in the credits of local governments to be directly channeled to them from the Federation Account in line with the provisions of the Constitution as against the alleged unlawful joint accounts created by governors.

In their individual responses, the 36 states through their attorneys-general urged the court to dismiss the suit, claiming that there was no dispute between them and the federal government that would warrant the intervention of the apex court.

They had also anchored their arguments on Section 162 of the constitution that provides for a joint account for the state and local government; wherein funds accrued to a state and its local governments from the Federation Account are paid into.

They therefore asked the court to dismiss the suit for lacking merit, adding that the plaintiff ought to have filed such suit at the federal high court and not the apex court.

Delivering ruling, a seven-member panel of the apex court led by Justice Mohammed Garba, disagreed with the states, and held that the case of the plaintiff has merit.

In the lead judgement delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the apex court pointed out that Nigeria operates a three-tier system of government where no one tier is subject to the order.

Justice Agim observed that for the last two decades, the states have been retaining funds due to the local governments and disbursing same at their whims and caprices, contrary to the provisions of the Constitution.

The apex court berated the governors for running the LGs as if they were their stooges, adding that the local government was gradually going into extinction by the manner through which it was often dissolved and run by unelected officials.

The apex court further faulted the arbitrary and unilateral manner in which the governors disbursed and managed funds belonging to the third-tier of government.

Not also spared by the apex court were the various state houses of assemblies accused of supporting the governors by enacting laws that put LGs at the mercies of the governors.

It was the position of the Supreme Court, therefore, that the retaining of funds belonging to the LGs had brought unnecessary hardship on the people in the various local government areas.

Hence, the need to ensure constitutional provisions of running the LGs through democratically elected officials as well as ensuring that funds belonging to the LGs were not tampered with by the states.

Agim recalled that before 1999 funds belonging to the LGs were directly paid to them, adding that it was due to convenience that the issue of joint state and local government account came by.

According to him, the state was to collect on its behalf and transfer without tampering/managing/administering the funds which have become the order of the day.

He however concluded that although Section 162 of the Constitution directed the payment of their monthly allocations to a joint account, the aim of that law has been defeated owing to the retaining of the funds by the states and used as they liked.

He however concluded that although Section 162 of the Constitution directed the payment of their monthly allocations to a joint account, the aim of that law has been defeated owing to the retaining of the funds by the states and used as they liked.

According to Agim, by laying claim to Section 162 (4&5), the governors were using the Constitution to perpetrate unconstitutionality, adding the Constitution should not be applied in a manner that supported its destruction.

He faulted the narrow interpretation of Section 162(4) which stipulates that funds of the state and the LGs “shall” be paid into a joint state and local government account, stressing that the governors were using it negatively.

While stating that where the narrow interpretation of the section of the Constitution would result to injustice or work against the intended meaning of the said section of the Constitution, the Supreme Court shall employ an approach that would meet the purpose of the Constitution.

“There is no doubt that the word “shall” will mean that the federal government will pay into the joint state account,” Agim said.

“But, it has not worked,” he added.

Thus, to prevent the governors from further exploiting the said law, the apex court held that it was the responsibility of the apex court to make a law that would serve the interest of the people and the country in general.

Agim held that, “Since paying to the LGs through the state has not worked, the money should henceforth be paid to the LGs directly.”

On the issue of appointing caretaker committees to take over governance at the local government level, the apex court reiterated its previous judgements wherein it declared such as illegal, unlawful, null and void.

It held that state houses of assemblies lacked powers to make laws empowering governors to appoint caretaker committees, declaring further that any governor who dissolved any democratically elected local government greatly breached the Constitution and committed a gross misconduct.

He subsequently granted the reliefs sought by the federal government, which included an order of the apex court stopping governors from constituting caretaker committees to run the affairs of local governments as against the constitutionally recognised and guaranteed democratic system.

In addition, the apex court described as an act of gross misconduct the dissolution of democratically elected local governments and their replacement with caretaker committees.

The apex court also made an order of injunction restraining the governors, their agents and privies from receiving, spending or tampering with funds released from the Federation Account for the benefits of local governments when no democratically elected local government system is put in place in the states”.

I don't think what I said earlier is different from what you are referring me to. Like I said before, the National Assembly should amend the law in support of what the FG government and SC is arguing. The SC is overstepping in its interpretation regarding the current approach.

As you can see from the excerpts; the honorable justice made use of "although" and "but" many times in his lead judgment when interpreting section 162 (4&5). What it indicates is that, the honorable justice is saying; this is the legal provision but since some persons are abusing it, we are adding our own. While judicial precedents are case laws vice versa, the Supreme Court is not a law making body.
If there is abuse, the provision should be referred to the National Assembly for amendment.

The many ALTHOUGH and BUT in that judgment is enough for you to understand my point.

P.S

Please don't interpret my view as being against LG autonomy. Far from it.
Every right thinking person knows governors in Nigeria has reduced LGs to their stooges, but in this case, we are discussing law.
In fact one of the reasons why we have this problem in our LG system is because we don't respect and observe our laws and we cannot use the same culture of not respecting our laws to remedy a like situation.

I am saying this cause it is the culture here on Nairaland for most people to construe anything against popular opinion as hatred.

EmeeNaka:
Nonsense !
The most important thing in the law is the spirit of the law and not the letters of the law. That's why the Supreme court explicitly stated that the state governors has abused the privilege accorded to them.
The supreme court ruling has effectively established an autonomous third tiers of government and this is very important for the development of the country and Nigerian democracy.
The fear of political meddling in local government affair by the Federal government is secondary and should not becloud our resolve to give more opportunities for development to local level.
Imagine some towns and local government being at the mercy of their Governor. Some Governors will seize the allocation of local government and use it to develop another place. The Supreme court ruling is valid

Which legal doctrine are you quoting from that the spirit is more important than the letters of the law.
What is the spirit without the letters?

This is like you trying to separate the modern state from government.

The intention is good, Yes. But you never took time to look at the provision(s) the convicted Ibori we all dislike as a politician is quoting from. Until that part is amended, Ibori is right for saying the SC overstepped.

Establishing an autonomous third tier of government must follow from the constitution.
We must learn to separate issues from personality. Much of what I want to say, I have said them in response to another comment so I will not repeat them.

The National Assembly should amend the law. That is the only way people like Ibori will stop talking.
How do you make a pronouncement for FG to directly deal with LG when the constitution being used as the background provides for a "joint state and LG account"

ElevationD:
You got it bro.

That judgement makes sense. At least local governments can have their resources and use to develop their areas accordingly.

I think Ibori interpreted according to his understanding of the wordings in English. The struggle for local government full autonomy has been going for ages, with governors refusing to let local governments grow and the citizens enjoy proper developments at the grassroots.

For me, Ibori’s opinion is immaterial going forward
Local government elections are opportunities for governors to instal their stooges. There is no firm of democracy as the councils are not democratically composed. You have council members only belonging to the ruling party in the state. Elections are completely one sided with state electoral commissions conducting what I always term “wayo elections”.

I think NASS should proceed to get INEC to conduct elections at state levels. That way, we can get those we term as our best choices at the local government levels first.

That's the issue with most of us. We don't learn to separate issues from personality.

Ibori is a convicted thief, YES. The judgment makes sense like you said, YES. But the constitution is clear with "states and LG joint account".

You don't use a "wrong" to establish a "right". We all understand what the SC is trying to do here but it went beyond constitutional provisions, that's what Ibori we all dislike is saying and he is right. Until that particular section of the constitution is amended, the Supreme Court cannot add to it in interpretation.

This is almost similar with what the former lawmakers in Rivers State House of Assembly did. They extended the tenure of the last LG chairmen to allow for a window to conduct LG election since caretaker and all is unknown to law. On face, it is good but it is against the provision(s) of the constitution.
What is good does not automatically override the law. What is good must be supported by extant laws and until that provision is amended, Ibori is right for saying the Supreme Court overstepped.

Another thing is, the judgment just replaced one master with another master i.e State with FG over local government administration.
Judging from Nigeria government and politics over the years and our political culture, expect the FG to from henceforth interfere with local government administration in Nigeria now since they have a solid background now.
If the FG can use state apparatus to interfere in Chieftaincy affairs that by law has nothing to do with it, expect interference in LG administration by FG with reliance on SC judgment.

Finally, LGs are not federating units. The intention is good but amend the law. Intention is not a proof or validity in law.

State Govs have no other option than to grant the 774 LGAs their autonomy in line with the Supreme Court ruling else FG will seize all States allocation.

This matter has been settled by the Supreme Court already. It is ultra vires for FG to seize STATES allocation for any reason.

The new ruling is on local government funds, not states allocation.

Day169:
There are different sides to a problem, just as there may be different approaches to the solution.
I think it's imperative for the government to begin to think out of the box by increasing their other sources of income generation, save for higher taxes, either by boosting non oil exports or reducing the waste in governance.

Nigeria don't have revenue problem. We have expenditure problem. I don't understand why this is not clear to people now.

In our political culture and arrangement now, more money only means more government engagement in useless things.

Read the report completely before you form opinion, which in this case is a baseless one.

The report already said it is not a constitutional requirement to be a registered voter before standing for elective position but that it would a case of criminal litigation because the candidate allegedly submitted a FORGED voter's card to INEC as a registered voter.

According to the investigation, the names on the voter's card the candidate submitted to INEC is not found on the voter's register for all the 18 LGA of Edo State. Allegedly implying that he forged it, which is a criminal conduct.

Are you too young to know that politics in African football, played by Issa Hayatou, favoured French players, rather than English speaking players? Issa Hayatou hid under the the arrest of Obasanjo by Abacha in 1996 to deny him the award. That was well known. Hayatou did not hide it that he deprived Okocha of the title. Okocha moved on with his life.

If he did not win CAF, why did he win BBC’s version three times?

He won CAF Nations Cup once, Afro-Asian Cup of Nations, Olympic Games once, etc.
