Nigeria is a nation, guided by Constitution. The Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria does not, in anyway, permit a particular ethnic group to create tribal security outdit, especially when this is aimed at undermining the interest of other ethnic groups.It's no news that the new tribal security outfit created by the yorubas is targeted at the Fulani. You people are all over the North, doing your businesses without harassment but at the mention of Fulani, what comes to your dirty mind is genocide. We are in this country when yoruba people killed hundreds of cows through thunder and now, it's Ametoken This is a clear evidence that yoruba people will stop at nothing in mismanaging any opportunity given to them. To think that these are the same people being considered for 2023 presidency gives them out as a group of confused people. Will yoruba people be pioneering tribal and divisive organizations such as Amotekun and still expect to rule this country come 2023? Never!!!

Yusman316:
Why did they single out CJN Tanko, when he didn't even head the supreme court panel that sat on the case?

JAWBONE:
I think it's time we disband INEC and create a new electoral body. How can an organization spend billions of naira to conduct elections only for the results to be rubbished later or is that the Supreme Court has being compromised and taken over by scoundrels. It is either the INEC boss is grossly incompetent and should be immediately fired or the Chief Justice Tanko Mohammed is a very corrupt fellow

Haddock:
They shot down the plane thinking it was filled with fleeing Americans as a way to take revenge for Gen. Soleimani's assassination. American civilians were actually leaving the Iran at that time.

Staro:
Oga, I'm not from South East but Nnamdi KANU can never be called a coward.

He is actually a brave leader who has continued to remain resolute to
his agenda.

He hasn't surrendered.
He hasn't abandoned the struggle nor the members of his group.

Relocating to a safer country to continue the struggle is not cowardice.
Or were you expecting him to remain in Nigeria for DSS to lock him up like they're doing to Zakzzaki?

GreetMe:
Not only one missile... imagine TWO MISSILES! Una dey blind? For ur own soil kwa? Na so US shot down a plane in Iran years back killing 270 people!

Using people's lives to play politics! What will happen if the world bands the creation of weapons for peace?

If you have a problem with a nation, use other means not people's lives

YelloweWest:
Is it Uzordima that should produce such evidence or inec? If one can present his own election results and win why didn't the sc declare Atiku? Because Atiku presented his own version on election results with electronic evidence to back up, while buhari simply asked the case to be struck out for lack of merit. Buhari never presented election results!

goshee:
for you information BSS was set up to curb invaders and address the security challenges in the south east but you people supported the motion that aborted BSS. If a court of law can tag an armless group who only seek self determination a terrorist group what makes you think they won't do so to Ametoku who they think will work against their interest if they so wish. it will only cost a phone call from Abba Kyari to Tanko Muhammed

NaMeAboki:
Improve our security architecture and empower the law enforcement agencies with better equipment, training; more personnel and funding; and cooperation from local communities in terms providing necessary intelligence.

NaMeAboki:
I am glad you enjoyed your NYSC days and felt the love of Sokoto in those days. I can assure you that, although Nigeria of the 80's cannot be the same the same today; however, not much has changed in terms of your fundamental rights since then.
Southerners and Christianity continue to thrive in Sokoto (and by extension, most of the Muslim north) without fear or molestation.

Having said that; unfortunately, most of you southerners will continue to disagree because of your innate tendency to always view any issue or move by northerners from your narrow ethno-religious perspective:
Arabic letters on our currency notes and military insignia (introduced by the British); herdsmen attacking and killing more Muslims/northerners; Boko Haram attacking and killing more Muslims; Sharia which applies to Muslims only ........and so on, are all being deliberately misinterpreted as Islamisation/Fulanisation agenda by southern political losing elites in order to curry more favour/relevance and support from their apparently gullible lot.

As already mentioned, Hisbah was introduced in affected states to enforce Sharia laws on Muslims only alongside some moral laws on the generality of the citizenry - including the much misunderstood prohibition of alcohol (which was not enacted under Sharia law, as most of you misconstrue).

On the other hand; Amotekun (as you even admitted in your post) is intentionally being set up by the SW states as a security outfit - SECURITY being the key word here; which clearly fall within the exclusive list and therefore outside the responsibility of the state/regional governments.

I will advise your governments to key into the existing FG defence structure (police, military etc) in a collaborative way e.t.c. JTF rather than going it alone - which is illegal.

Cherez:
Guy, I'm already at work I'd have explained better.

You said, "Iran has never ran any terror program on US soil"?

Why was the attack on Suleimani?

Iran partners and funds terrorist coys.

There is no way the US will detain all Iranians on its soil
Please show me the news

DexterousOne:
They can't

Brussels uneasy over EU citizens’ rights after Brexit
Brussels has warned the UK it will be vigilant in policing Britain’s respect for EU citizens’ rights, saying Britain must honour the obligations of the divorce deal that will end the country’s membership of the bloc at the end of this month.

hardbody:
All i can say to our waste-rn brothers is that whatever goes round comes around. They laughed at igbos when FG was using military might to trample on their quest for self determination, today what do we have?

What is bad is bad, irrespective of the geopolitical divide where you find yourself. Lets speak out when we should.

Cherez:
The US has no right to ask any lawful foreigner to leave even in cases of war safe for unlawful acts.
The only Iranians detained last week are those whom are suspected to have "terrorist"(Note the stress on terrorist) ties.
See, the SW will never try that.
They can only stop entry to the barest minimum and for those living already, they can't do anything

MelesZenawi:
Detained?

This is pure fabrication and not anything true.

Nearly 200 Iranian Americans were detained at the US-Canada border

In recent days, as many as 200 people of Iranian descent, some of them US citizens, have been detained at the US-Canada border and questioned about their political views, family members, and work histories.

About 60 individuals, including American and Canadian citizens, were held for questioning about their “political views and allegiances” at the Canadian border in Blaine, Washington, on Saturday, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a nonprofit that advocates for the rights of Muslims in the US.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confiscated their passports and held some of them waiting rooms for as long as 10 hours, refusing to grant them entry to the US, according to CAIR.

By Monday, as many as 140 more people of Iranian descent had been detained at the border. They were repeatedly asked about their birthplaces, family members, schooling, and work histories.

Cherez:
You should be shameless at least to mention people that have proven not to be a threat by any means to you.
Even Americans & Britons you run to their places haven't asked anyone to leave. I just await the day this shit will happen, I doubt you can even try this.

NaMeAboki:
If you could read and understand, you would have notice in my 1st post where I stated under where Hisbah fell - comparing Amotekun with Hisbah is like comparing apples with oranges and smacks of ignorance.

BTW, what do you think J in JTF stood for?

Gbemishile1:
Nooo
I do not support this amotejun of a thing
The federal govt banned the forming if state security and it still stands
If the federal government should allow this amotekun of a thing,then the south east will also want to create their own security watch,with no restrictions as to who will be drafted into their security watch.worst of all is it might be hijacked by the ipobs who are clamouring for their Biafra of a thing and the federal govt doesn't want that.

NaMeAboki:
I have no cause to waste time and energy arguing with someone who is clearly driven by emotions rather than logic.
The FG has already made its declaration and given its reasons why; however, if and your leaders think otherwise, then kindly sue the AGF/FG to court to prove your case.

magicminister:
Yorubas and igbos have to unite.

We may fight and beef each other but a Yoruba man can live in the East in peace likewise an Igbo man! If my son or daughter travelled to Yoruba or Igbo states, I’ll be at peace knowing their chance of getting murdered is slim but i don’t feel the same way about the norther states!

DMerciful:
Why? Without punishment, what will stop INEC from allocating votes at will? Do you know how much taxpayers money was wasted?

DMerciful:
So why did the supreme court not punish anyone?

seunmsg:
There is nothing strange in the judgement, it was simply the judiciary correcting the wrongs perpetrated by INEC and PDP.


What I actually found strange today is the information that INEC declared Ihedioha winner after cancelling APC votes in 388 polling units. They cancelled the voice/votes of over 200,000 voters just to be able to declare Ihedioha. I’m really disturbed that it took the intervention of the Supreme Court to stop such a fraudulent move. I shiver at the thought that they almost got away with silencing the electoral choices of over 200,000 valid voters.

OYAY:
In he unanimous judgement of the seven-member panel, read by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the apex court agreed that results in 388 polling units were unlawfully excluded during the collation of the final governorship election result in Imo State.

Now the crux of the matter is that was there cancellation in 308 wards or not We should desist from being unnecessarily emotional!!!

“Vote due to the appellant Senator Hope Uzodinma and the APC from 388 Polling Units were wrongly excluded from scores ascribed to the appellant(to them).

“It is thereby ordered that the appellant votes from 388 Polling Units unlawfully excluded from the appellant vote declared shall be added and that the first respondent, Emeka Ihedioha, was not duly elected by a majority of lawful votes cast at the said election.”

The panel led by Justice Malami Dongondaji had in the judgment dismissed Messrs Ararume, Nwosu and Uzodinma’s petitions for lacking in merit on the grounds that they failed to prove the allegations made in their petitions.


But the tribunal in its judgement held that the case of the petitioners was unmeritorious because they failed to call relevant witnesses and that evidence of witnesses called were based on hearsay.

The tribunal, in addition, rejected documents tendered by the petitioners in support of their claims on the grounds that those who led evidence in the documents were not the makers of the documents.

YelloweWest:
Was it only hope that got votes from 318 polling units? How did inec over look 236,000 votes?

Abeg leave this lie joor

JonDon12:
Wait One Minute; If Uzodinma Got 236k cancelled votes from those Polling Units, How many did Ihedioha Get from those. They should add those to his totals.

BecaciaBarbie:
My husband did not even peck me before He got married to me not to talk more of cuddle and sex, please pray to God to send you who He has ordained for you as that person would meet all your criteria and still wait.

calabardick:
Is it the same guy that married her?
Some of this "small introduction men" are agents of frustration. They're out there to frustrate innocent young ladies. Only a foolish woman will listen to them.

You were her destiny helper.

Olalan:
OP sorry to burst your bubble your spouse family seem irresponsible.......a grandmother following her grand child is the height of moral bankruptcy. It's time you have a rethink about your spouse and her family that's if you don't also share same moral outlook.
BTW when you both were having series of unprotected sex what where you guys expecting?

chewwie:
Did her silly grandmother get her pregnant? She should carry the pregnancy to term and leave the baby with you and move on with her life.
Is there any rule that states that she can't take her exams with pregnancy?

cooltola:
Killing an unborn child is the ultimate lack of empathy and disregard to life- the only exception to abortion is if the fetus growing is dangerous to health of the mother or rape . Forget the moral compasses or self righteousness, everyone deserves a chance for tomorrow.

Even the children who are begging or suffering are hoping for a tomorrow. The better solution is to enforce a family planning by promoting the uses of condoms or anything to prevent the fertilization of human eggs if both parties are not ready to parent. Why should an unborn child pay the penalty of death because his or her parents were busy enjoying themselves irresponsibly? The northerner leaders should address the uncontrolled population growth, try to provide jobs and abortion is not the answer.
