The Nigeria court noted in faith okafor vs Governor of Lagos state.as cited in (2016) LPELR-41066 (CA) made it abundantly clear that the directive or order of a governor is not a law & that violation of same cannot result in criminal liability.Listening to Ebonyi State Gov #DaveUmahi on TV asking Enforcement Officials to flog citizens on the streets over #covid19lockdown violation. No, Governor, You are Wrong! You have no power to violate the Constitution & inflict indignity or inhuman, degrading treatment on Citizens..
The Anti Torture Act 2017 makes it a criminal offence for the police and others to subject a person to torture, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Section 34 of the Constitution states that no person shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment.
So Mr Governnor of ebonyi state,allow mobile courts and the violators havee therefore day in court.Hence security enforcers should see this as advisory and not law.Do be guided.

I don't know how to say the many things I have heard in the past few days. I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW that the world is ending soon and the end of convid 19 is close.

We have seen how COVID-19 is revealing the plans of the devil and we are wiser beyond the propaganda the news is selling.
They are pushing the world to the EXTREME of weakness with the weapon called FEAR because of the goods they are ABOUT TO START SELLING.

Other sicknesses and disease like cancer have been killing for years yet no big deal. We notice they AREN'T MOVED because they're mostly not transferable by touch.

Go and ask, WHERE DOES VIRUSES COME FROM?
So, they will say AS YOU HAVE SEEN that all over the world this virus kills (because they have filled the news with it, and by now it has become the most popular topic on earth). Now they even say YOU MAY HAVE IT without showing symptoms so that even those feeling healthy should NOT HAVE REST OF MIND that they are exempted.

People are RECOVERING in thousands yet the news houses will keep publishing only DEATH REPORTS.

Some medical experts are claiming that some drugs is a good treatment but the culprits refused to accept yet they have no solution to profer.
If you don't know the prophecies about the end of the world in the Bible ask me and I will point you to videos to watch.

My point is DON'T BE A SHALLOW NEWS FREAK or a non-challant person who think everything about life is all about making money and be happy because it's not true.

There are bigger issues of life.

How much is the world making now? RECESSION is loading in many nations. Money is failing already.

We are loosing our freedom gradually by the STAY HOME initiative. Why are soldiers involved, are the guns they carry meant to kill Coronavirus or the citizens? Think!

START PAYING ATTENTION so you will not fall victim to men's evil agenda.

The Bible is not an ordinary book, it's time to get serious with it so you can save yourself from the tragedy coming..

Thank you very much for listening to us.our no are:

The fact that a defendant pleaded guilty to a charge does not foreclose the right of appeal where the Grounds of Appeal are founded on jurisdiction/Constitution. That was exactly what happened in the case of Aoko v. Fagbemi [1961] ANLR 40..In Aoko V. Fagbemi, the defendant, just like Funke akindele, pleaded guilty to a charge of adultery and was convicted and sentenced. The conviction was appealed on the ground that adultery was not an offence under any written law (in the South). The Supreme Court set aside the conviction. Since the charge against funke akindele was brought under a regulation that has not been approved by the House of Assembly as required by law, the entire case - from the charge sheet, to arraignment, conviction and sentencing of Funke and her husband, is a nullity..we cannot put something on nothing and hence funke akindele is advise to seek legal redress.

Why The Conviction Of Funke Akindele Cannot Stand In Law

By Inibehe Effiong and samuel ihensekhien esq.

INTRODUCTION:The trial and conviction of actress Funke Akindele and her husband is legally flawed. The fact that they pleaded guilty does not foreclose a discussion on the case because the flaws.the Public Health Law Cap. P16 Vol. 9 Laws of Lagos State, 2015; and the Lagos State Infectious Disease (Emergency Prevention) Regulations 2020.
I submit that Funke Akindele and her husband (the defendants) were convicted for a non-existent offence.DEFENDANTS CHARGED FOR AN OFFENCE THAT IS UNKNOWN TO LAW:
The charge sheet against the defendants also state that the said social distancing directives contravened by the defendants were issued by the Governor in line with the regulations made by the Governor pursuant to the Public Health Law. In other words, the defendants were not charged under the Quarantine Act.
They were charged under Section 58 of the Public Health Law of Lagos State. For clarity, Section 58 of the Public Health Law cited in the charge sheet provides as follows:"For any contravention of the provisions of this Law or any Regulation made under this Law for which no other penalty is provided, the offender commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100,000.00) or to any non-custodial sentence,,and if a corporate body, to a fine of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500,000.00)."
The defendants were convicted for gathering with more than twenty persons. The material question is: is it an offence under the Public Health Law or Infectious Disease Regulations to do so?.. There is no provision under the Public Health Law or Infectious Disease Regulations that makes gathering with more than twenty persons a criminal offence.The Infectious Disease Regulations purport to give the Governor the power to issue the social distancing directives. The legal defect in the directive on gathering is that it cannot be the basis for criminal liability. A subsidiary legislation like the Infectious Disease...(Emergency Prevention) Regulations 2020 derives its authority and validity from a substantive law (the principal legislation). The regulations cannot extend such authority.
Since the Quarantine Act and the Public Health Law of Lagos State specifically limit offences to
contravention of regulations made by the governor, it is outright illegality to charge Funke Akindele and her husband for contravening a directive of the Governor (which is outside the regulations itself). See Din V. Attorney-General of the Federation (1988) 4 NWLR (Pt.87) 147.
Therefore, by the authority of Section 36 (12) of the Constitution, and the Supreme Court decision in Aoko V. Fagbemi & Ors. (1961) 1 All NLR 400, the conviction of Funke Akindele and her husband is unconstitutional.As I contended earlier, there is no provision in the Public Health Law of Lagos State or the Infectious Disease Regulations that makes a gathering of more than twenty persons or any gathering for that matter a criminal offence.Regulation 8(1)(a) of the Infectious Disease (Emergency Prevention) Regulations 2020 cited in the charge sheet against the defendants provides 8(1) "The Governor may -

(a) restrict or prohibit the gathering of persons in the Local Area, such as conferences, meetings, festivals, private events, religious services, public visits, and such other events, save where the written approval of the Governor is obtained for "for such gathering." The above provision does not codify any offence. It only empowers the governor to restrict or prohibit gathering. The Infectious Disease Regulations 2020 should have expressly and specifically prescribed that gathering is restricted and prohibited in LagosState before it can be relied upon to convict a violator in line with Section 36 (12) of the Constitution.

Since neither the Public Health Law of Lagos State nor the Infectious Disease Regulations has prescribed that gathering is an offence, the purported directive of Governor,,Sanwo-Olu remains an advisory.

The Court of Appeal in the case of Faith Okafar V. Governor of Lagos State & Anor. (2016) LPELR-41066 (CA) made it abundantly clear that the directive or order of a governor is not a law & that violation of same cannot result in criminal liability.However, Section 8 of the Quarantine Act only empowers the governor to make such regulations where the President fails to do so.
On 30th March, 2020, President Buhari issued the COVID-19 Regulations. In his regulations, the President made specific provisions restricting movement and imposing a lockdown in Lagos State. By the constitutional doctrine of covering the field, the regulations made by Governor Sanwo-Olu went into abeyance the moment the regulations made by President Buhari came into effect. Both cannot coexist
.THE GOVERNOR HAS NO POWER TO MAKE REGULATIONS UNDER THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW.
It should be further noted that under Section 53 of the Lagos Public Health Law, the power to make regulations pursuant to that law is expressly vested in the Commissioner for Health; not in the governor. PUNISHMENT IMPOSED EXCEEDS THE LAW:
Apart from the above legal flaws, the punishment imposed on the defendants by the trial court is clearly overreaching and illegal. See Section 58 of the Public Health Law of Lagos State under which Funke Akindele and her husband were convicted.Hence is safe to conclude that funke akindele and co were convicted illegaly.

Section 34 of the Constitution states that no person shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment. The Anti Torture Act 2017 makes it a criminal offence for the police and others to subject a person to torture, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Videos showing agents of the state assaulting citizens for straying outside despite movement restrictions have surfaced online. Torture was criminalized in Nigeria in 2017. I condemn the torture of citizens. The police and military authorities should punish their erring officers.
While I urge citizens to be responsible and adhere to the directives of the government in the overall public interest, those who contravene the extant regulations should be afforded the due process of law. We cannot act like a primitive society because of COVID-19 pandemic.

Topic:*COUNTER PETITION*

ANCHOR TEXTS >>>>LUKE 22:31-32

*And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.*

Parliament Houses all over the world have different kinds of people with different political and philosophical orientations.So, a lot of times,there will always be motions and counter motions, petition and counter petition.So if more ungodly individuals got in the house,they propose demonic laws that will eventually affect all of us, because there is no one to counter petition them.

We need more godly people to propose good policies and oppose bad ones.This is called PETITION and COUNTER PETITION.

Collegiate Dictionary defines COUNTER PETITION as petition that supports or advocates positions or actions counter to those supported or advocated in another petition : it is an opposing petition.

In anchor texts,Jesus standing in two offices,the prophetic and the priestly. As a prophet I see what Satan wants to do,and as a priest,I have interceded for you.

Satan has come to Petition you,he wanted to have you,harm you,hurt you,kill you. He asked for God to lift His hedge around you just like he did against Job.....Bad news, isn't it?

Here is the good news.

As a priest,

*...But I have prayed for you ...*

Satan wrote a petition against Job,there was no one to counter it,Satan petitioned against Peter ,Jesus counter-petitioned him.

We all need the covering of a discerning and interceding father/prophet over us.Who is covering you?

Secondly,you must learn to counter petition the devil over your marriage,your kids and our nation because Satan always petition against us.

So Today,what ever the petition of the enemy is over our marriage,kids, business and our nation,

We COUNTER PETITION him,we declare our kids shall not be victims,marlians, prisoners,drug addict.

We declare our nations shall not be destroyed by corona virus, civil war and terrorism.

We counter petition the devil over our pastors and leaders in Jesus name.They will not fall into scandal.

DECLARATION.

Jesus is my Priest and Prophet.He prays for me and counter petition enemies.I am also a priest and Prophet,what ever the petition of Satan is over my life , family and calling ,I counter petition him in Jesus name.I shall not be a victim.
