IfnobeGod20:
Please can you state and quote the legally part of defecting to another party?
If they can go to court and swear to an affidavit of their defection, please what more? Do people just go to court to swear affidavit for fun?

Every political party has a roll of its members. This is what is legally recognized as the party's membership. If your name is not on the roll, then you are not a member of that party in the eye of the law. It's that simple.

Note that an affidavit is a tool not an end in itself. Meaning, an affidavit is to be used as a supporting document in the pursuit of a further final document or application. For instance, if you have lost your passport, an affidavit stating how you lost it is necessary for a fresh passport application, however, if tlyou never actually apply for the fresh passport, can you then go around claiming that your affidavit is as good as a new passport? Are you getting it?

Secondly, the validity of an affidavit is always contestable. For instance if I swear an affidavit claiming to be the owner of Aso rock, will you willingly buy it from me if I proposed a sale?

Looks orderly and inviting

IfnobeGod20:
If we should be expecting law and order, then, the 27 members of the house of assembly suppose to have lost their identity since December 2023, if it is about law and order.

But it's been made clear that there is a legally recognized way to defect and since the persons in question merely claimed to have defected without going through this process, then by law they are not known to have been defected?

To all the ignorant folks on this forum.



Your father is a mor.on! Can't you fvcking reply like a sane person? So much from someone who thinks he's smart. Delusion

You talk like a Moro.n that is why I addressed you as such.

Now would a Moro.n base their research off snippets from Google? Yes they would. But like I said, the entire body of thought that opines that HIV can be passed through clippers comes almost entirely from Nigeria.

The screenshot below is taken from one of the resources you shared. Do you see how moronic your contributions here are when you look at the methodology for the research?

Now, share with us a single documented case of HIV transmission through clippers.

maasoap:
Lol. Some STDs are also transmitted through other means like sharp objects (blades, needles, clippers), blood transfusion, mother to child during child birth and so on. HIV and Hep B fall into this category. Be informed!



Where did you guys come from? A little Google search will prevent you guys from future regrets caused by ignorance.
Hospitals started using one needle per patient basically because of HIV and Hep B, yet they're STDs

Don't be a Moro.n. Of course needle use can also transmit most STDs however in the context of clippers this is not relevant and the underlying concept remains the same. Now note:, Needles are able to transmit these pathogens because

1. They are able to preserve blood and the pathogens in blood longer than if the blood was exposed to air.

2. They penetrate deep into blood stream, beyond the barriers of the skin.

Clippers cannot in anyway transmit any blood borne STD because they don't do the aforementioned.

This level of ignorance is only found in Nigeria.

lexy2014:
Exactly. Like fubara needing to allow Wike have his way in the state and make decisions for the state which fubara must comply with

If that's what law and order means to you, too bad. Not any problem of mine though.

Orlu13:
will u shut d Bleep up...I wish they can round up foolish nd wicked ppl like u nd all other APC miscreants nd jst set all of u on fire


bunch of stupid fools

What is this thing going on about? Be quiet mongrel!

1x2x3:
FG will feel it more if creek boys gets activated. You can't take the natural resources of Rivers and withhold its proceeds in ABJ, Fubara needs to become x2 of the dictator WIKE is.

And why should the creek boys support Fubara?? What has he done for Rivers people in his entire career?

I've always wondered what those pushing Fubara on think will happen eventually.

With the Courts currently agreeing that the pro Wike lawmakers did not validly defect, there is no way out for him now.

He will slowly but surely feel the weight of federal might. And this time there can be no complaints because the FG will be on the side of the law.

JuIia:
What do people want from Rivers state

Law and order obviously.

Someone thinks you can get STDs from sharing clippers.

It's literally in the name: Sexually transmitted... So unless you have some weird fetish that involves doing unspeakable things with a pair of clippers, no you can't catch an STD from sharing clippers.

shivisee:
2morro now, you will see this man saying rubbish like if Nigeria is like country like the united state, lecturers can’t be paid such amount! If you try this nonsense in the united state that I’m, you can find yourself in jail for this!

That's not true. Lecturers in the west frequently get married to their students. They are both adults so why not? There are just certain ethical boundaries that govern such relationships, such as the need for full disclosure to the school authorities.

Nonsensical opinion

As undiscerning as you are, you didn't see the Bento Africa banner??

kettykin:
This same thing happens everyday in offices, market places, boardrooms, classrooms, on the roads between drivers an passengers and between car drivers and bus drivers .between police and citizens.

The house of rep guy did what every other Nigerian does. Infact based on some comments in this thread, some people would have done worse.


It is an everyday thing blown out of proportion by hypocrites. A minister of the federal Republic has said something worse than this but hypocrites never reacted. Asari Dokubo of recent said something worse but the inspector general never reacted

Well that's my point - people have chosen to make a big deal out of it even though so many other people do things like this and get away with it, for several reasons but mostly simply because the guy dared the IGP. And secondly because vdm is involved.

And you can't compare him with the likes of Dokubo. Dokubo is powerful - you can't go after him without Nigeria shaking small. This other guy is just a house of reps member, and one in the opposition at that, and a minor opposition party at that. To make matters worse, he also assaulted the guy on camera giving the police no excuse not to act.

kettykin:
This should have come earlier. Some Nigerians are the worst hypocrites on the face of mankind. Notice the uproar and nerve wrecking reaction over this case and compare it with the near silence of the same people when a code of conduct judge harassed a trade assistant at the popular Banex Plaza some few months ago and tell me some is not wrong with Nigerians

Well there are two main factors making this matter trend.

1. The MAN got arrested, which is because he dared the IGP not because of the act itself

2. Verydarkman is involved

This is a fake story created to promote a rubbish product through the medium of exaggerating the ills we face in this country. Rubbish.

Bobloco:
Unahi is a madman.
 
Which level is he even referring to? Oh! He became a governor, senator, and minister. Is Umahi the only one that has attained such a level? And what makes him think that the Rep member won't attain such a level, especially in a country like Nigeria where anyone can become anything? 

Instead of giving answers to the questions raised by the Rep member about why our federal roads are in a worse state, he is busy engaging in a dick measuring contest.

Shattap. He never said the reps fella wont ever attain the same level. He said as of today the man has not attained it and he is right. Learn to respect your betters.

In 1993, Peter Obi was a protégé of Arthur Nzeribe in the Association for a Better Nigeria (ABN). They secured a midnight court injunction that nullified MKO Abiola's presidency. Obi personally delivered the court verdict to Nwosu and stopped the further announcement of the election results. This ultimately led to IBB stepping aside for Shonekan, in an arrangement with Abacha. Abacha became Head of State and expectedly did not forget Peter Obi's role ⁹ìin his ascension to power. As a reward, he tasked Obi with decongesting the Tin Can Island, where Obi made billions of Naira and subsequently became Chairman of Fidelity Bank.

Peter Obi reciprocated by joining others to convince Abacha, to transform from a military leader to a civilian President. His main contribution was bankrolling the formation of a Youths group called YEAA (Youth Earnestly Ask for Abacha) headed by Daniel Kanu. The Group introduced the "One Million Man March" as a political campaign strategy in Nigeria. Peter Obi later adopted this strategy at the beginning of his presidential campaign in 2022. The Abacha project came to an end with the death of Abacha.

In 1998, when the ban on politics was lifted, Peter Obi became a founding member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). This is the point that most people know as the begining of the political journey of Peter Obi.

History will not forget every role played by any human being.

Please share your sources, I would like to verify some of these claims.

KEVIND:
All this sad.ist that are wondering how Obi keeps on soaring high & donating hundreds of millions to the public.
Let me school you about Peter Obi. Obi was a already a billionaire in his 30s. No presents Nigeria politicians will boast of not making their fortunes from politics except Peter Obi.

Now:
A little about HE Peter Obi

Obi headed a market management company that specialised in imports. He ushered in Heinz Salad Cream, Ovaltine, South African Breweries, and many more consumer brands into the Nigerian market. This is why he’s repeatedly bragged about his reputation as a “big trader”.

In the 1990s, Obi was the CEO of Next Nigeria International Ltd. He also founded the popular Next Cash and Carry which remains one of the largest indigenous retail malls in Nigeria.

By the time he became the governor of Anambra State in 2006, Obi was the chairman of 11 companies in Nigeria and abroad.

In the corporate world, Obi chaired four banks — Fidelity Bank Plc, Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd, Future Views Securities Ltd, and Paymaster Nigeria Plc.

He was also a board member of Guardian Express Bank Plc, Chams Nigeria Plc, Emerging Capital Ltd, and Card Centre Plc.

“I was sitting on the board of three banks and was the chairman of one before I became a governor,” Obi said on Arise TV in 2021.

Peter Obi had major shares in the banks where he was a board member, and has invested in many more businesses over the years.

Why does Peter Obi's story always start in the 90s as the head of this marketing company, very shortly after which he became a billionaire? It's rather strange...we know how other billionaires go their starts...Where did Obi get his first 1 million naira? Between leaving and school and his appearance as the head of this marketing company, what was he doing?

Is it normal for a legitimate businessman to have left his business to go and work for a dictator like Abacha? And he became a billionaire around the same period??

That's the link

My brother, I am a lawyer, and I am telling from a position of authority that such an agreement cannot be entered into without the defendant pleading guilty.

And a 2 minute search will show you other articles that give more context:

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/690737-naira-abuse-cubana-chief-priest-opts-for-plea-bargain.html?tztc=1

A Federal High Court in Lagos Thursday adjourned the criminal case instituted against internet socialite Okechukwu Pascal, A.K.A Cubana Chief Priest, due to the prayer for a plea bargain he initiated with the EFCC.

At the resumption of trial on Thursday, Cubana Chief Priest’s counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu, informed Justice Kehinde Ogundare of the defendant’s intention to toe the path of plea bargain subject to Section 14 of the EFCC Establishment Act.

“We have looked at the charge under Section 14 of the EFCC Act, which encourages plea bargain agreements.

EFCC counsel Bilkisu Buhari confirmed the position.

OlujobaSamuel:
He didn't pleas guilty, he pleaded not guilty, before the next adjourned date for trial to begin, he negotiated to settle out of court

In a criminal matter there is nothing like settling out of Court. What are you settling? You can only negotiate a plea bargain and to do that you must plead guilty. Any other arrangement is a blatant illegality.

ALTERNATEID:
Nonsense. They should leave bobrisky alone. Is he the first person to spray money in Nigeria?

He should get a better lawyer this time around and not plead guilty to anything. He should fight dirty till they drop the silly charges and stop the constant harassment. They left Cubana chief priest alone so why can’t they leave Bob alone even after a six month jail term?

This has nothing to do with money spraying. He has served his sentence already. This is about his claim that he did not serve his sentence at the appropriate place. Try to read and understand issues before commenting.


And BTW Cubana pleaded guilty too. He just got a plea deal that spared him jail time.

offongk:
Renovated because it is situated in Lagos

What happened to Calabar stadium?

What happened to onne Port ( poor arrivals of goods every thing is Lagos )

Spit !!!

Stupid you! The renovation was done by the private sector, galvanized by Lagos state government.

And what do you mean what happened to the Calabar stadium? What should happen to it??

Onne Port is fully functional so what does this have to do with anything??

Moro.n!

Macphenson:
If Turji was in the south east, they would have long gotten him but as he is in the north, it is rocket science.

The south east is quite small sir. I think it is even smaller than Niger state alone. Try to think about things from different angles.

richmond500:
Arabic is in the naira note and no one is complaining, but here u are masturbating on Hausa language. Is Hausa not a Nigerian language? I saw the language and I asked "why will they spell Nigeria that way? Someone told me it's Hausa language and I accepted it without bringing tribalism into it.

Only politicians benefits from all these petty fights, abeg let's move forward

How undiscerning of you. In a multi-polar country like Nigeria, you do not trivially select one side's language to the exclusion of others. This indicates the pursuance of an agenda, which when lined up with other recent political events paints the picture of foreign powers aligning with subnational forces, a most dangerous development.

SilasGreenback:
So you imagine the machinery behind her doesnt have more? You imagine they started business with those 74 parcels and that is the beginning and end of their hustle?

Does the law punish you for what it imagines you might do or what you actually did??

Secondly the emphasis on the number of parcels is yours. Mine was on the substance itself. No one should be imprisoned for more than a year for anything to do with weed.

SilasGreenback:
What bullcrap. A drug dealer with so much drugs will easily pay that fine and walk free. How does that serve as a deterrent. In South East Asia it would be death. For heavens sake this is criminal, at least let her serve her sentence! That Judge has been compromised!

11 years or 100mn naira for 74 parcels of mere weed??

Other than customer experience, the rest are just different terms for the same thing.

IniobongEno:
Why not use this energy to advise them to sort out the mess they created and watch the beggers disappear. When you impoverish people by making unhelpful government policies what do you expect? Before the advent of APC, was Abuja like this?

Yes. El rufai did exactly what Wike wants to do now.

I know you know Wike is right anyway and you obviously just want to make some political statement so don't mind me. Continue

Susu888:
Now i can believe he is dead!

Before you start insulting me abeg, read and comprehend what the army spokeman said.

They didn't deny his death they talked about the military not being affected by his absence, they avoided the direct question.

Now let's get one thing straight, we know Nigerian power brokers and dirty lobbying tricks.... If indeed he died they will not let it out till they all get their desired goals.

E.g death of Yar'adua

Learn to be discerning. There are two separate reports/incidents made reference to in this article.

One is an old statement that was made before this Ude's tweet. The second is the army stamping the tweet as fake news after the tweet.

This report puts the two together as though they were issued at once. But clearly the mention within the body that the statement they are referring to is from Saturday.

Please sit up.

The dictator
The brain behind asaba massacre

Gowon had nothing to do with that.

phantomxx:
It used to be said that we have a long way to go in this country. That statement in itself conveys hope. That our solution is in sight even though the distance to get there is still very far.

These days, no one really says that anymore. It has dawned on everyone that there is absolutely no hope. There is no tunnel, talk more of having light at the end of it.

We are officially in a failed state though many would argue we have been for the past 5 years at least.

It's so sad that we can count men with integrity and principles on the fingers of one hand and Doyin Okupe IS NOT one of such men.

The dearth of such men further cements our state as FAILED!

Rubbish talk. Attack the message not the messanger. You can't do that because he is right!
