Also, I think this is also one of the ‘internal party matters’ that the Supreme Court has always ruled in favor of that party against external parties or individuals.

Same as the double nomination of the VP which though against the law but an internal matter.

The only people that have standing to sue in this cases are internal individuals from the party.

They are 2 different issues, they didn't change their mouth. At the election tribunal, someone that contested from another party can challenge the eligibility of the candidate of another party. However, a person from another party cannot challenge the eligibility of a candidate from another before the election, having not contested against the other person. You must contest against the other party before you can challenge a candidate's eligibility.

Nigerian judiciary is a disgrace. I thought that in recent decision of the Supreme Court as we all read in PDP case against Shettima, they said PDP cannot question the nomination of Shettima since only a party member can question the internal matters of a political party. Now they have changed their mouth.

Some people feel they are untouchable all because they have money!

In a nation where the laws don't discriminate based on financial status, such nonsense won't happen!


What is truly sad here is that these guys will go unpunished except there is a serious and massive media scrutiny and outcry...

The more annoying thing is that the source of income of those that beat her to death may not withstand any form of rigorous scrutiny!

Yankee101:
And the biggest thieves, your politicians, roam free

Are you justifying the armed robbery because of thieving politicians, I just hope that isn't your intention.

Nnpc is not dying anytime soon . It is a behemoth that controls the narrative... Nigel wasn't working before gsm came and finished it off


Nnpc is in the game as a father.... Anywhere the others can go to get the pms , nnpc will not just go but also get right of refusal... With depots to be reactivated all over the geopolitical zones who can dare nnpc?

Well, we will get to see about the "NNPC not dying" stuff. Same thing Nigerian Airways thought, same thing NEPA thought and same thing NITEL thought. It is a rule, all inefficient entities must go into extinction sooner or later. It is the same reason why some animals that used to be in charge of the earth went into extinction. NNPC must shape up or ship out!

dominique:
You think the marketers won't sell at the same pump price as NNPC? Dey play!

The marketers do not need to sell at the same pump price that NNPC sells. In a strictly competitive environment it is NNPC that would die a natural death if it doesn't improve it's competitiveness. Like I predicted the "death" of NITEL some years back I foresee the NNPC dying naturally if the organisation doesn't re-invent itself.

It's great that you're actively seeking opportunities to enhance your skills during this waiting period. Learning a trade like gas filling can be a valuable skill. Additionally, considering software skills that are in demand, you could explore learning coding languages like Python or web development skills. As for volunteering, you can reach out to NGOs, community centers, or tech start-ups in Lagos to inquire about volunteer opportunities that align with your interests. Networking through professional Crypto platforms and attending local events may also help you find connections. Best of luck in your job search and skill-building journey!

As a software developer and AI specialist, I would not advise the op to go for python or any other language because of the short time frame he has to learn. Instead, he can go for digital marketing instead and begin to grow his skills. Of course he may not gain total mastery of all aspects of digital marketing such as inbound, outbound marketing. He can zero in on Google Analytics. I say this because marketing is one skills that everyone would need if they want to grow. It could come in handy for selling one's skills, services or products.

Starboytwo:
Why you make it feel like they gonna eat you or something.

No take everything wey you see for Nairaland too far. Most is cruise. It’s not very deep.

Did NYSC In Abakaliki, the most fun filled year I’ve lived.

But I was respectful and didn’t overstep boundary.

I had to quote you and I have taken the liberty to emphasize, in bold characters, a part of your post that any stranger should abide by in another person's hood. It is the best way to one's peace of mind and security.

Perhaps we need to go back to the era of executing drug couriers and other violent criminals.

Obaaderemi2:
You don't think about us yet you full Yoruba land from ibadan to Osogbo.

You no think of us and a fulani man dey insult Ibo you dey mention Yoruba.

Don't dignify the guy with further responses na. I wish you can starve him of the attention that he craves.

For the animal to have killed some humans, is it ethical to eat the animal?

Exactly the question I have on my mind.

This is how it should be. Anybody can take ill at anytime. Get well soon Aketi unlike those who shroud theirs in secrecy.


Meanwhile did i miss the deputy governor not been mentioned in his medsage?

Apart from Tinubu that he mentioned, he thanked people generally. He thanked the state executive council which is headed by the acting governor.

Curious345:
You didn't even pen a word of commendation for your acting governor

But he thanked the state executive council of which the acting governor is the leader.

8stargeneral:
What a world

My help will kill me

8stargeneral correct your post, I think you meant to say that your help will not kill you but you omitted the NOT.

SmartPolician:
We (including the names you mentioned) are all a product of a system where people don't think well. You cannot give what you don't have. The school system is in shambles; that's why you laugh at them and fail to understand what's called strength in diversity.

My point is, it's okay to celebrate yourselves and your success. However, bringing others down or laughing at them while doing that attracts a lot of negative energy (hate). Don't complain when the seeds you sow germinate. A word, for the wise, is enough.

I hate to get involved in this tribal and ethnic discussions but it looks like these people do not understand that ethnocentrism does no one any good at the end of the day. It makes one to under estimate the strength of other ethnic groups and it makes one over estimate the abilities of one's ethnic group. I pray our people listen to your wise counsel.

Karleb:
Something is fishy here. In naija, you can't fight big orgs and win. Too bad!

This was a simple fight for the young lady, trust me if her claims were true several lawyers of Igbo extraction would happily sue JAMB on her behalf pro Bono. That said, JAMB has asked anybody whose relative has an exam slip for this year to come forward because they stopped issuing this type of slip since 2021. No one has disproved this assertion.

I think that this event has taken on a life of its own and the annoying thing is that the public goading on the girl has forced the hand of the authorities to invite DSS to investigate the issue. At this point JAMB should allow the investigation to continue and any wrong doer must be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others that may be entertaining such thoughts in the future. We cannot continue to be a country of lawlessness.

Stanweezy:
No be Dem get the site dey can do and undo.


There is every possibility Jamb uttered that little girl's result.


2009 Jamb I wrote the result was 214 my Physics then was 33, after some weeks we heard Jamb is upgrading their score due to error in certain subject and me been sure of my physics and the possibility of me having such a ridiculous score.

I rechecked again, my physics jumps to 67 from 33 and the total score went from 214 to 248. That same result got me admitted into Electrical/Electronics Engineering.


So Jamb is not left out in this scenario and I believe those that wrote Jamb 2009 will testify this.

While I am not disagreeing about the plausibility of your personal experience as you claim, this girl's experience differs from your case. If there was a general issue as it was in your case her case would not be isolated. Jamb has stated clearly that they have stopped issuing slips since 2021 and they have asked anyone who has a similar slip to the girl's own to come out with it. People shouldn't push this girl further into trouble. If she is prosecuted and sentenced she will be alone and all the cyber supporters won't anywhere to help her.

Brendaniel:
I'm only saying that JAMB could have handled it better, the dust it has raised is much....

How else could JAMB have handled this better? The whole institution was accused of tribal bigotry regardless of the fact that the person with the highest scores is still Igbo. Lots of foolish tribal people want to push this girl into trouble. At this point, JAMB should allow a thorough investigation and all parties found culpable should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, so that next time people would learn their lessons of not pushing the limits of their luck.

maasoap:
How can we just move on from this national embarrassment? There should be consequences for the guilty, be it the girl or JAMB officials in charge

Exactly my position.

kingthreat:
If it's a technical error, lets move on.

I honestly disagree with your position on moving on if this problem is due to a glitch. If it is a glitch, I will expect this young girl to be compensated for wrongful accusation and the JAMB registrar would need to step down because he would be guilty of falsely accusing the girl. On the other hand, if investigation shows that she is culpable, then she needs to be prosecuted alongside her co-conspirators; we must learn to attach consequences to people's actions and inactions in this country.

Eriokanmi:
Everyone knows why sanwoolu is doing all these giragira. It's not a must that a particular tribe votes you or your party and that's where tribalism sets in. That's not democracy. Democracy is when 2 siblings joined different parties and voted based on their conscientious analogies. When you see people punishing a tribe for not voting you or party, I wonder what you call that.

Well the baffling thing for me is how you brought Sanwo-Olu into a post talking about the Anambra state Local Govt authorities demolishing shops in Anambra? How does that connect with Sanwo-Olu? Is it that you commented without reading the original post or is there dissonance somewhere? You didn't even address the authorities demolishing the shops in this instance! Is everything okay? Perhaps you read the topic and not the post itself which in itself is inexcusable. I advise you to read the post, perhaps you will spot the dissonance.

Eriokanmi:
This is my advice... Let ibos go and develop the international market, create even more in the south east. Get the fg licence to build a private ports. We will all be begging them to return in neaer future cos our people aren't wired to take up their trading prowess. That's God's gift to their generations. God had endowed each region with unique ideas. We depend on each other to thrive and live. I wonder what they're afraid of. By the time our giovt see our IGR drop sharply, they'd come back to their senses but then, it would have been too late.

It is okay to encourage the Igbos to do everything humanly possible to develop the East and every patriotic Nigerian should support that idea in any way that they can. This original post is about the Anambra state govt demolishing shops and you somehow brought in the SW leaders. What is the nexus?

I wonder what you intend achieving with the way you talk down on your own people at every opportunity. When the South westerners built the first Television in Africa, which the military govt later converted to NTA, who helped them built it? Many other interventions that have now been converted to national properties were built by the South Westerners and that feat can and will still be repeated. The Yorubas have a name for the child that points to his father's house with his left finger.

PHIPEX:
I noticed this nonsense today on my account. This is another policy somersault. This people are only interested in frustrating Nigerians.

How do you peg my daily transfer to 50k meaning we should all return to queuing in the banking hall? Why are we returning to 1990 Banking system instead of going forward?

The policy doesn't make much sense to me either, if it includes token enabled transactions, credit and debit transactions.

texannaija:
Sure!. Dem dey go through “things” too but it can never ever be like the things wey Naija people dey go through. Don’t even compare!.

It is the hasty generalization I pointed out. And take it from me as someone who is privileged to constantly see from both sides, there are many Nigerians out there who would be better off at home back in Naija. And of course there are many Nigerians folks who only need the exposure abroad to thrive.

nedekid:
What are they going through? What difference has happend to them in recent times compared to Nigerians that have lost 100% of their worth in the last 3 weeks?

My brother, you don't care to know. Some folks aren't getting jobs from their agencies anymore like they used to. Of course, competition happened because of influx of migrants. The inflation is biting harder and people are tightening their belts. Do you know what it means to turn up at the gate and they tell you sorry mate, "there ain't no work today". It is not easy anywhere at the moment. Of course, there are many people who have nice paying jobs in the UK just as there are people making their dough back in Naija. It is different strokes for different folks.

My post is not about discouraging Nigerians from migrating though. However, I advise individuals to do whatever works for them. People should be guided by their individual circumstances. Because Naija isn't good for some people doesn't mean that some people aren't steadily cashing out legit.

Nice2023:
If you are living abroad and have some families here in Nigeria,pls don't hesitate to reach out to your brothers,sisters,uncles and aunties here in Nigeria.

The situation on ground is so bad that u see people groaning and talking to themselves,well kitted men and women turned cunny beggars just to meet up with daily activities.

Most families that I know have dump their cars especially here in Abuja. When u move around the city,u will see the situation on ground.

The subsidy removal has affected everything including the way of life of many people here in Nigeria. In my office today,many guys now come to office few times in a week just to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal.

Now that the electricity tariff is about to go up...I wonder how people would cope going forward.

And for those who feel everything is normal,just wait it will soon go round,no one would be spared.

Funny enough, if you know what some abroad people, UK especially, are going through right now

TheGiftedOne:
This country don go. The court has become so useless that it even tries to stop those exposing criminals from doing so. Like the court asked the NYSC DG not to expose Mba in the first place?

Then the culprit is praying that the court prosecutes the person aiding it's judgement. Looks like a movie script. Smh!

Law and order keeps the society floating, restrains people from crime, holds people accountable for their actions. Protects lives and properties. Brethren at this rate, where the political class now runs to the judiciary to do their bidding, we're headed for disaster.

My brother this country can be anyhow. Don't be too quick to judge the Mba guy. I say this advisedly because I have seen several instances of administrative and institutional lapses in this country.

Why is the NYSC hiding under the issue of jurisdiction if they are so sure the NYSC certificate is forged.

egoldman:
So what is renunciation of citizenship by adult?

Very good question. Issues like these would help our people to understand the laws that govern them.

The process of renunciation of Nigerian citizenship by birth contains multiple steps. Renunciation is not done by taking the oath of allegiance of another country alone.

After taking the oath of allegiance of the other country, the person seeking to renunciate his/her citizenship by birth will write a letter of application to the Nigerian authorities with evidences documenting the naturalisation of the new country (this includes a letter signed by the officials of the other country whose citizenship is being sought). The applicant will also pay an application fee of #50,000. Thereafter, the Nigerian authorities will process the application.

blaise26abj:
Interesting . These are things that should be well defined and reviewed . It is bad . We are opening ourselves up for spies or Foreign entities to hold positions of power .

Imagine a Nigerian -American recruited and funded by CIA or any other foreign government can become the president of Nigeria so that they can exploit our resources . That’s very scary.

The decided position of the law is what the poster you quoted just stated. Perhaps the constitution needs to be reviewed but the politicians whose children are mostly affected by the dual citizenship issue aren't likely to favour an amendment. Because doing so would mean cutting off their children from seeking political offices in Nigeria.

aestake:
Let the court determine it then. Na criminal s dey rule you and you are happy.

If the constitution says otherwise who are my to misconstrue it. I simply discussed what I found out about the position of our constitution. If the lawmakers amend it, then I have no problem with. We should look at these things without emotions.
