You are a pathetic individual always dishonoring God with your pathetic morally repugnant statements. So it is now okay to harm hundreds of innocent people just to get a few Hezbollah members.
Innocent people were harmed? Really, how would innocent people have had hezbollah pagers?

Now, I won't be surprised if na willful ignorance on her own part allowed the innocent man suffer this much to the point of a legal practitioner doing the job a Govt Diasporan agency and their lawyers supposed do!

80% of deaths metted out to Nigerians are as a result of ignorance, derelict of duty or wilfully negligence.

Kudos to the lawyer. I like winners!

Politics › Re: Controversy Trails Navy’s Issuance Of Bunkering License by SmartyPants(m): 12:37pm On Sep 13, 2024
Originalsly:
I did not see the report you posted earlier about how the issuing decision was made. I was just going on the report posted which seems to imply it was a take over of duty by the Navy. So the question should arise ... if they can do that...what will stop them from doing same with another agency?

And yes...they can do so ... legally .... under Executive Order .
I don't see any part of the report here that implies this. Can you highlight it?

Did the civilian authority direct the military to issue licences? If they did ... or did not ...it is still inherently wrong. If they did ... under what law do they have the right to do so? ... or isn't there protocols governing such decisions? Can the Army Chief or whatever wake up tomorrow and decide he will control the universities? ... since there is no law preventing him from doing so? No doubt.... he will be considered acting above the law ... but technically he will not be because there is no law saying he can't. I hear you. Let's not get technical for this is how dictators begin their journey ... one step at a time. He needs to be stopped .
1. Obviously this was done under the direction of civilian authorities. I shared a resource earlier that provides some details on the framework of the arrangement, and it involves three civilian agencies, not the Navy alone.

2. The President can order such arrangements by way of executive order, provided there is no law forbidding it. Such executive order will then have the force of law.

3. The Army Chief cannot wake up and control the universities tomorrow or any other day. There are a plethora of laws that would stop him, including laws that govern the NUC and by extension the universities. Furthermore, of what use is such a question when clearly the Naval chief did not just wake up and assume the right to grant licenses? Where did you get this idea from??

Nigeria is supposed to be a democratic country. The military should have no say in civilian matters ... let alone be issuing licences. That is the responsibility of an agency. What is the responsibility of the Navy? No doubt ... they can assist in enforcing laws ... which involve checking licences ...but issuing them? ... that's above the law. If the Government was a military one ... then no problem ... it will not be inherently wrong to do so ... but in a democracy it is.
We have been so used to the military involvement in civilian matters that we see it as normal.
It is normal because the law in Nigeria permits it. The Armed Forces Act is clear in stating that the Amred Forces may take on police duties as and when needed. Now the question of whether that may extend to the granting of licenses has nothing to do with democracy. The question, rather, is: is this permitted or forbidden by law? If the law is silent on this, then there are no grounds for claiming it is above the law. Which law?

If the civilian authorities have directed the military to issue licenses and have not contravened any law that says they must not do so, in so doing, then there is absolutely no question of democracy or otherwise.

Would you support the Navy issuing fishing permits to foreign trawlers since illegal fishing is taking place by foreign vessels in our waters?
Same answer. It's not inherently wrong if it is done within a formal, legal, and transparent framework.

What would be your reason for opposing it?

Brendaniel:
See how this one is reasoning, they are stealing your natural resources away and you are justifying it just because you want to support Tinubu's government, do you know how much Nigeria loses daily to bunkering?

You guys are so engrossed in politics that you sometimes forget to be human beings...
I've observed you're not too clever, so your misguided comment doesn't surprise me, but you can manage by being more attentive. In this article, you were told that the Nigerian Customs Service routinely issues licenses for bunkering, which should have made you understand that there is illegal bunkering and there is legal bunkering. The point of this article is whether it is proper for the Navy to grant such licenses as opposed to the Customs Service. There is no illegal act here.

Slow minds should read the above thrice please. The more clever ones may wish to gain a better understanding by reviewing this page:

This is not inherently wrong if it is being doing within a formal legal framework. It's not relevant whether or not other countries do so too. We need Nigerian solutions for Nigerian challenges.

Afonjeezy:
You've been proven to be dumb.
Slimmer, taller guys weigh more than stockier, shorter guys.

Fact.
Ya just too uneducated for your own good my dear cheesy weight is a function of mass not height. A short guy and a tall guy of the same mass weigh exactly the same. The tall guy may have more volume and the ehsort one may have more density but along as they have the same mass, they weigh the exact same thing.

Now, when it comes to muscle and fat, muscles are far more dense than fat. A fat person and a muscular person of the same volume (or outward size, as you may better understand it) do not weigh the same. The muscular person will weigh significantly more since they have the same volume but higher density, which means more mass.

I've really tried for you. I hope you can try for yourself! Bye bye.

Spent ₦744 million on litigation.
Same litigation we all watched live on TV.

So Peter Obi paid those baby lawyers he took to supreme court 700M, those baby lawyers the judges were telling how to file certain motions before certain process ?!

Na was o !

This is the man many are hoping will save Nigeria. It is officially confirmed now Nigeria must die of corruption. Did Obi pay judges from the 744 million or what exactly did litigation entails abi refreshment de part of litigation. Seems I do not even understand the meaning of litigation again.
Ask any lawyer to explain what the 750mn was used for.. They will will plain tire with no evidence! wink

But the truth is this is an old form of money laundering practiced by pretty much every politician.

That is one reason why election petitions will never cease.
