My hear aff dai, there is nothing I will not hear from this baba. Which Southwest? This one I dey so?

Op so u really expect these bigots and children of hate to actually say anything meaningful You must be a joker

A good conscience fears no accusations

Now I see, APC corruption crusade is winning souls. The smartest thing to do after stealing is to defect to APC. Your sin shall be remembered no more.
At the topic, it is his yam, let him cut it as he likes but APC should also not rejoice because he will take it again whenever he is going to another party.

Nigerians do not really want to break up, it is the North that we do not want to be part of Nigeria any more. Check the demands of the South (Avenger...militants) East (Biafra, Massob ...) and the West (OPC, Afenifere....), you will understand my position.

Was Aisha Yessuf video about BBOG? Or that Buhari should perform or resign? Why dodging the real message of the video to crucify the messenger?

schoolboij:
when did we start our current democracy? Jan 1999 or ending of may 1999?

You mean it was when Obasanjo was sworn in in May 29th 2009, after forming his cabinet, prepare the budget, declared the National Assembly opened in June that he submitted the budget the same May and was passed that same May?

schoolboij:
do we generate our revenue only from oil?

I know you know also that it is the same National Assembly that sets the oil benchmark and approve funding sources.

Kindly refer to the above in my post sir. Hope that helps

schoolboij:
the 2016 fiscal year is not from January to Dec. it ends in may.
ignoramus.

You are right but was caused by Buhari's delay in presenting and padding of last year's budget. Our year is January to December. June to May is born out of the doctrine of necessities.

schoolboij:
your own reasoning is appalling. how can the Nass increase a budget they don't source the funds for? what if there's no fund to execute those budgets? their power is to advise the sender the executive on necessary appropriations not unilaterally appropriate.

using your own logic, the Nass should prepare a the budget and sign it into law.

I know you know also that it is the same National Assembly that sets the oil benchmark and approve funding sources.

But Falana has not cited any law that says National Assembly can not increase the budget.

All I know is that he that has the ultimate power to approve can either increase, reduce or reject it outrightly.

Trust me, some people's defence instructions cover this guys too. They will soon come here to say they are not herdsmen but OPC in Fulani attire.

Nalikedis:
Yes our God is 1+1+1=1. If your own god obey the law of arithmetic and time my own God supersede time because he existed before the existence of it. He made us in his own image (spirit, soul and body = 1 man). The same way you can't understand the virgin birth of Jesus that your Qur'an talked about the same way that you can't understand the Concept of God head. The knowledge is only given to the children and not to the slaves. When slaves question the authority of a prince... That's is called grandstanding. My Bible called me Son, your Qur'an called you slaves... Let everybody stick to his father's name

Nothing to add. Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.

Mind u i am not concerned about the location of the headquarters


The reason i left AG is the level of koro koro politics
And nepotism within its rank

It is very rampant in the lowest ebb of the church..




I am happy at my new church not because they re perfect but its better of i dont see or know abousomethings than when i am seeing it

How old is your new church and how many branches do they have? You will understand what it means to manage a church with so many districts, sections and local churches when your new church gets to the strength and age of the Assemblies of God church.

If I were some of you commenting here, I will refrain from making derogatory comments on a matter I don't have all the facts.

The Church did not sue Rev Prof Emeka, he sued the church and was suspended, dismissed and excommunicated and after the Supreme Court judgement, he was offered an olive branch to return back to the fold, but instead filed another matter at the High Court, Enugu on a matter already concluded at the Supreme Court.

Nomswilli:
Just heard an advert now on dream FM Enugu now that REV OKORAFOR is hosting a thanksgiving program at the same national headquarters soon

You are right, the church is thanking God for the sanitation of the church. Rev Emeka's appeal against the Court of Appeal's judgement was dismissed by the Supreme court. This crisis caused so much embarrassments to the church. We must thank God.

Nomswilli:
please how long has this been happening...?

About three years ago..

I am mindful to reply the OP on the subject above because I am a member of the church and also a member of the enlarged legal team for the church.
The matter is not between Paul Emeka and Rev. Chidi OKOROAFOR, it is matter between Rev Paul Emeka and the church.
The summary of the matter is that
Rev Paul was elected as the General Superintendent the same day other EC (Executive Committee) members were elected also. Assemblies of God does not have a G O like other Pentecostal churches but the GS consults other EC member before decisions are made. Rev Emeka was managing the affairs of the church like G O.

Rev Emeka unilaterally dissolved the governing body of the church's university (Evangel University), sacked all the principal officers against NUC guidelines. When he was cautioned, he refused that nobody can control him or tell him what to do.

This was the beginning of the crises.

BusinessLaw:
Dear Subscriber,

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

– Shakespeare

Businesses start with good ideas and little cash so it is common that entrepreneurs typically do not involve lawyers after business registration. It is also a fairly common perception that lawyers are only necessary when there is trouble rather than when everything is going right. Whilst it might be understandable for businesses to limit their legal costs during the infancy of the business it is however wisdom to work with an attorney to help with the little things which have the potential to blow out of proportion if not well managed.

A commercial attorney understands how to value a business, negotiate and draft contracts, conduct due diligence, obtain permits and licenses, pursue claims where there is a breach of contract etc. Even when your company is small, countless legal issues can arise during its early years and having legal support will help you understand your options and make the best decisions about the sometimes complex processes every business goes through. This week we have identified 6 reasons your business should keep a lawyer close.

#Business Registration/Incorporation

Registering a business entity is essential for every serious entrepreneur and options range from sole proprietorship (business names), partnerships, Limited Liability Company and Non-Profits (NGO). You need a commercial attorney who understands your business and can guide you on proper business structure. It is however important to state that in Nigeria you no longer need a Lawyer to register your business at the Corporate Affairs Commission as new regulations provide that the process can be executed by any of the proprietors.

#Partnerships/Joint Ventures

Business has gone past the era of “gentleman’s agreement” and wise entrepreneurs now invest time and money into creating partnership agreements that are not only fair but also rigid enough to protect all interests from the beginning. This approach protects you from trouble that might come later as memories fade and emotions/ greed come into play. Your attorney can help create a formal agreement which would prevent problems and cement business relationships.

#Drafting and Negotiating Contracts

Businesses enter into contractual negotiations all the time which ultimately leads to the Company binding itself to perform an obligation. Contracts can be oral or written but in any case you need an attorney to ensure you don’t sign one that will put your business in jeopardy. Again, where there is a breach of your contract your lawyer is in a position to also point out your options.

#Litigation

Lawyers In Nigeria are mostly perceived to be litigators because dispute resolution is the most common instance where businesses require the services of a lawyer. Your business can be sued by an aggrieved employee or customer or for violation of a contract with a vendor or supplier but whatever the situation, you need a commercial attorney who understands the legal process and can support your business during this trying period.

#Protecting your Intellectual Property

Ideas rule the world and businesses thrive on innovative ideas consequently protecting your intellectual property is vital to the life of your business. You must have a lawyer who understands intellectual property law and can help you protect your idea and brand

#Regulatory Compliance

Entrepreneurs cannot keep up with thousands of regulations created by federal and state regulatory agencies. Non Compliance with government regulations can sometimes ground your business or make you incur losses thus retaining the services of a lawyer is essential to protect you and your business from the regulators.

CONCLUSION

We end with a quote from Strive Masiyiwa, a London-based Zimbabwean businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who is the founder and executive chairman of international telecommunications group Econet Wireless-

“A wise business person MUST at all times have access to a lawyer and accountant: period. And you don’t start looking for one when you are in trouble.

Not all lawyers work for big firms. There are many small law firms, some of them with even just one lawyer. After all they are business people just like you. Don’t “fear from a distance”, by saying this will be expensive. What is really expensive is to simply proceed into business without proper legal advice or access to such advice. You will know the true cost when you are confronted with a big legal challenge. You can end up losing everything you worked for, if you are not careful…it is tough out there!”

what do you have to say about The US Vp ,Pence ,that does same ?

I am a Nigerian sir, my politics have not gone international. No comment sir

His choice. So, what? I know conservative Muslims who don't shake hands with non-related members of the opposite sex. I've also met conservative christians who don't do it. So, why should people make a big deal out of nothing?

The program is not a religious gathering but state official function. Somebody may sue him for discrimination except that this is Nigeria.
He that must eat cockroaches must have an antidote or ready to suffer bellyaches. If you want to lead in a secular Nigeria, be ready to treat all equally or "kuku" stay with your church or mosque Exco positions.

MaziOmenuko:
Just like I said in the other thread about this controversy...


You guys don't understand the point Mao Ohuabunwa was trying to make and I am with him on this. The letter is ambiguous and open to various interpretation.

Yes, we all know what the constitution says and in view of that, Osinbajo is the acting president. But look at it from this perspective: He may give an order or sign a law or budget and someone somewhere will go to court challenging him on the signed law insisting that he was not the acting president and lacked powers to sign such all in a bid to buy time. Please note that the person challenging this knows the outcome already but would want to buy time. He will seek interpretation from the lower courts, then appeal the judgement, and later head to the supreme courts with various court injunctions inbetween and before you say jack, 2 years has elapsed and the culprit is still free because while he is at the courts, all actions will be pending awaiting the court verdict.

This is the lacuna Mao is trying to bring to light. After Osinbajo signs the budget, someone somewhere will spend above the budget next year or next 2 years and when EFCC wades in, he will go to court to buy time, hinging his case on this same thing.

Do not forget that Ngozi Okonnjo Iweala was coordinating Minister under GEJ and we know theirs no powers attached to such portfolio.

The letter could have been innocently scripted, otherwise, it could have been crafted by some mischievous powers surrounding the presidency. Mao is not ignorant of what section 145 says so he knows exactly what he is saying; we call him "Ancient Mao" in Abia North and we have a saying that what an elder sees while sitting down, the youths will not see even if they climb the iroko.

The president can not make him the Acting President, the constitution does even if Buhari addressed him as house boy. Section 145 only requires that he transmits letter to the National Assembly, if he likes he may leave the paragraphs blanks.

But like I said somewhere, the President was smuggled back to the country the last time because the cabals were loosing patronage at Aso Rock (remember how Osinbajo was criticised by my members of his party for performing when he was gaining people's support?) and wanted to continue to use Buhari's presence in the country to rule us but Baba's health was failing, the reason for the word "coordination".

How can u copy someone's Facebook gist and post it as news Pls be careful

Is not just somebody, he is the special Adviser to the Governor on Social Media. Hope that helps.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court Abuja has declared as illegal the 15-man probe panel constituted by the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Idris, to investigate the violence that took place during and after the December 10, 2016, National and State Assembly rerun election in Rivers State.

Delivering judgement in the suit filed on January 11, 2017, by the Rivers State Government and Governor Nyesom Wike, Justice Kolawole said “the police panel was unknown to law” because it lacked constitutional backing.

Consequently, the court held that the report of the panel was not valid and of doubtful source.

The trial judge also held that it was wrong for the IGP to constitute a police panel that had the Department of State Security as member.

Justice Kolawole noted that even though Section 4 and 11 of Police Act, allows the police to investigate allegations of crime, the law stipulates that the it will require presidential assent for the police to delegate power to another prosecutorial agency.

Justice Kolawole also said that had the report of the panel been placed before the court, it would have been quashed

In view of this, Justice Kolawole said it remained to be seen whether the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, would prosecute those indicted by the police probe panel based on an illegal report.

If you have nothing to hide why rushing to court to prevent probe. Sorry, it is in the blood, someone hired 40 SANs to prevent presenting his certificate.
