| Celebrities › Have They Draged Peller To Face Legal Action After Recruitment Saga? by SenatorCharles1(op): 1:10pm On Jul 17, 2025 |
Nkese Uyo and some other applicants he used their interview for contents without their consent have decided to sue him. In Nigeria, it is not proper, ethical, or legal for a recruiter or interviewer to record a job interview and publish it on social media without the interviewee’s informed consent. The Legal Perspective: 1. Violation of Privacy Rights Under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), Section 37 guarantees the right to privacy for all citizens, including their correspondence, telephone conversations, and telegraphic communications. Using someone's image, voice, or interview publicly without permission can amount to invasion of privacy. 2. Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) The NDPR (issued by NITDA in 2019) governs how personal data is collected and used. It requires: Consent before collecting or processing personal data (e.g., photos, video, audio). Clear disclosure of purpose for using such data. Violating NDPR can attract: Fines Legal liability Reputational damage 3. Tort Law – Defamation or Misrepresentation If the video content presents the interviewee in a false or humiliating light, the victim may have grounds to sue for defamation, emotional distress, or misrepresentation. Ethical & Professional Standards Job interviews are confidential, a professional recruiter should treat applicants with respect, dignity, and privacy. Exploiting applicants for clout, content, or likes is seen as manipulative and unethical. No organization or individual should monetize or publicize such moments without consent. Using someone’s job interview for social media content without their permission is Unethical and Unprofessional. Likely illegal under Nigerian privacy and data protection laws. Anyone that become victim of such circumstances can: - Send a legal warning letter (cease and desist) to the recruiter. - Report to NITDA (for NDPR violations). - Seek legal redress through a lawyer or file a petition in court.

We play alot in this country, Issues that have since been settled by the court is what we are still arguing over at this period of our democracy. The Court has powers to override the legislative arm when they over-reach their powers The Court does not need to use any special language to declare a suspension as null and void. See the case of Ali Ndume Vs the Senate in 2017

WizardOfNG:You need to go back and do some research on how the court had ruled on previous suspension of 'erring legislators' You will find that despite senate rules, the judiciary can and had always ordered the senate to comply with provisions of the constitution rather than relying on their rules howsoever put. Courts have consistently held that: - They cannot interfere in purely internal legislative matters (e.g., voting procedures, committee assignments, sitting position of lawmakers etc). - But they can intervene when fundamental rights are violated or when a legislature exceeds its constitutional limits. Go and do your research Omo Agege Vs Senate in 2018 Ali Ndume Vs Senate in 2017 Abdul Ningi and his constituency Vs Senate in 2024 1 Like |

WizardOfNG:The question should rather be, have there been other cases of senators being suspended in the past? what were the actions taken by these senators? Did they challenge their suspensions in Court? Did the Court rule in favour or against? One of such suspension was the one against Senator Ovie Omo-Agege in 2018. He challenged his suspension in court and won Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the FHC ruled that the Senate violated its own rules, which only allow a maximum suspension of 14 legislative days. So the senate rule allow for 14 legislative days for suspension of a senator and that of Sen. Natasha should not be interpreted differently. Again, it therefore mean that the Judiciary has power to pass judgement against the Legislative arm 1 Like |

yemre:I wrote this as a reply to you. Yes, the court lacks the jurisdiction to question the Senate rule or legislative business for which the court absolutely did not interfere but as touching fundamental rights of a citizen, the constitution takes preeminence over any Senate rule and her lordship wasted no time in stating the obvious in clear terms. It's a very simple judgement that shouldn't pose any difficulty interpreting. Suspending a senator for six months is over reaching and a violation of her fundamental right and that of her constituents. Senate rule or no Senate rule, the suspension is null and void and a violation of section 63 of the constitution period!!! |

Why would SP Akpabio be appealing a ruling since they claimed it was a mere advice? He should simply disregard the so called advice and wait to face the consequences. His preliminary objection succeeded in part to the extent that Sen. Natasha was challenging her fundamental right either yet to be infringed or otherwise makes no difference and the court protected her right and that of her constituents as expected. The court lacks the jurisdiction to question the Senate rule or legislative business for which the court absolutely did not interfere with but as touching fundamental rights of a citizen, the constitution takes preeminence over any Senate rule and her lordship stated that in clear terms.

When did the FHC become an advisory body? This letter is mischievous. The court declared the suspension excessive and a violation of her right. What othe language do they want the court to speak?

Burob:Now that they are on suspension, shey they're still getting their salary? The SC agreed that it's the speaker who declares a seat of members vacant and not the court. 1. The members of the Fubara-backed HOA were already suspended by the Martins Amaewhule led faction while the Hallowed chamber had not been destroyed, therefore they remained suspended for the time being and therefore Edison Ehie lacked proper legitimacy as Speaker. Had it not been for his suspension, he would have been legitimately the Speaker and then his declaration of vacancy of seats would have been effective. 2. That by the time of the so-called defection of the 27 lawmakers, the hallowed chambers had been destroyed and so all actions and proceeding carried out outside of the chambers were null and void including their supposed defection. Therefore, the SC technically declared their defection as a nullity saving them from losing their seat. 3. 3 Likes |

The Rivers State House of Assembly Faces Imminent Constitutional Collapse—Lift the State of Emergency Now!!! As of July 18, 2025, the State of Emergency imposed on Rivers State will have entered its fourth month. This prolonged suspension of the Rivers State House of Assembly is not only politically troubling—it is constitutionally catastrophic. Under Section 104 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended, every State House of Assembly is required to sit for not less than 181 days in a legislative year. With four months of inactivity already elapsed, the Rivers State House of Assembly is now dangerously close to failing this constitutional threshold, which would render it illegitimate and legally defunct. This is not speculation—it is precedent. In the recent ruling by Justice Binta Nyako, the Federal High Court declared the six-month suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan excessive, unconstitutional, and void, precisely because it denied her constituents representation and violated the 181-day sitting requirement. The same logic applies to Rivers State. If the emergency continues: - The Rivers State House of Assembly will lose its constitutional legitimacy - All legislative actions may be nullified by the courts - Rivers Citizens will remain unrepresented, violating democratic norms Your Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Constitution does not empower emergency rule to override democratic representation. The longer this continues, the deeper the damage to Nigeria’s federal integrity and democratic reputation. I therefore urge you to: 1. Lift the State of Emergency in Rivers State immediately 2. Reinstate all elected members of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Executives 3. Ensure compliance with Section 104 to preserve constitutional legitimacy This is a defining moment for your administration. Let it be remembered for restoring democracy—not dismantling it. Respectfully, Sen. Charles O. |

The Sole Administrator of Ahoada East Local Government Area in Rivers State, Goodluck Iheanacho, has denied claims of his resignation, insisting he remains in office despite reports to the contrary. Iheanacho made the clarification in a radio interview on Saturday. He refuted a resignation letter circulating on social media and claimed that he was a victim of an orchestrated attack that led to the emergence of the document. “I did not resign from my appointment as the sole administrator of Ahoada-East. I was attacked in my office, and the letter they brought was not signed by me. I know nothing about the letter,” he declared. The letter in question, dated June 20, 2025, was addressed to the Government House in PortHarcourt and claimed that Iheamnacho was stepping down to return to the private sector. It also conveyed appreciation to the Rivers State Government and the people of Ahoada East for the opportunity to serve. But Iheanacho maintained that the letter was falsified, blaming hoodlums who, according to him, invaded his office and took personal items, including sensitive documents. “I want to tell members of the public that I did not resign as the sole administrator of Ahoada-East, and any other information aired is null and void. I am still the sole administrator of Ahoada-East,” he said. Contrary to his account, the council’s Chief Security Officer, Hector Ekeakita, insisted that Iheamnacho’s resignation was real and the result of public pressure from aggrieved youths within the community. “He (Iheanacho) was not attacked by thugs. Let’s tell Nigerians the truth, those were Ahoada-East youths who came in their mass to tell him,‘please, our brother, you are siphoning money. Just two months in office, you have decided not to take care of our environment,’Ekeakita said in a separate radio appearance. He added: “They said he should tell them why the LGA is dirty. No staff come to work. And he stays in Port Harcourt to administer his administration. So the youths were angry and they blocked him, so with that pressure he said he does not want to do it again.” Iheanacho was appointed by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd.), who appointed administrators across all 23 LGAs following the expiration of the previous councils’ tenure.
