Usually, when folks gift cars to others, they ensure the documents pertaining to the vehicle, not necessarily the receipt that was used to purchase it, are transferred to the recipient. This ain't nothing new to any of us.

Without the receipt, you cannot process change of ownership document.

Kobojunkie:
Wrong! Go back and re-read what the legal suggests instead. A gift does not need to come with a receipt or a name attached. It simply needs to be delivered and completely gifted by a donor to a recipient.

How can you prove a vehicle was gifted to you, without receipt or other documentation? You would need documentation before the vehicle is allowed to change ownership, and have it registered in your name.

Kobojunkie:
He would have to provide possible written documentation of this leasing of the items then, and prove that this was clearly communicated to the recipient, at the time of the exchange. 🥱🥱🥱

What of transfer of ownership? If you gifted a car or even a TV to your girlfriend but the receipts and documents are still in your name, what happens if you want your items back?

donvicky2007:
Yes, military doesn't take order from a civilian Governor, if there is an existing order from a high ranking military officer, they only take order from a President. That is why the president is the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic.

Ordinary police sef don't take orders directly from governors in Nigeria, they have to pass through the police command structure.

tunde1200:
Really.
So military man can disobey order of a whole Governor of a state.

Military men don't take orders from governors.
No be for Nigeria former governor dey order current governor?
No be for Nigeria president dey suspend governors and state assembly, and install retired military man as sole administrator?
Military men guarding private property is the least of the abnormalities that happens in Nigeria.

adekolaelect:
Some people blame Wike for his choice of words towards the officer, Some blamed him BCS they hate him with person seen him working with Tinubu but in reality Wike is 100% right to inspect the site based on his obligation as see in see of the federal capital . He has right to investigate and decide what happens based on the law that govern FCT once he remains the Minister of FCT.

Wike did not come to inspect anything. He came to play “voltron, defender of the universe.” If you read the thread properly, you’d see that even an FCDA official apologized for dragging Wike into the conflict in the first place.

Here’s what actually happened:

1. FCDA moved in with bulldozers to demolish an allegedly illegal structure belonging to a retired Air Vice Marshal.


2. Soldiers guarding the property blocked them, refusing the officials and their equipment access.


3. FCDA then called in their ‘superhero’ - Wike, who they believe commands his own troops and walks around with “odeshi”—would force his way through.


4. Wike stormed the site with his entourage and thugs, expecting the military to back down.


5. The commanding lieutenant refused to budge.

6. Borroring some common sense or simply due to fear he backed off.


7. On his way out, he resorted to personal insults before retreating.



The core issue remains: the property is disputed.
The Air Vice Marshal insists he bought it from the rightful allotee. Only a court can confirm or reject that claim.

And that’s the point: FCDA has no authority to roam around with caterpillars, demolishing people’s properties without a court order. The rule of law doesn’t disappear just because the minister shows up with muscle.

ALTERNATEID:
The CNS has no legal title in the first place. Where is the R of O? Where is the certificate of occupancy? Where is the allocation letter? Where is the building approval from development control? So, what title are you talking about here?

The CNS claimed he bought it from the person that initially bought the Land - Santos Nigeria Limited. Even Wike did not dispute the CNS bought the Land. Wike's argument was that he revoked the sale of the land because the purpose for which Santos was allocated the land was changed, from park to residential without FCDA approval. He then claimed the CNS was scammed. The CNS did not just walk into the land with soldiers to claim it. The matter should have been taken to court by FCDA to recover the property legally.

ALTERNATEID:
You sure don’t know what had happened before the confrontation on Tuesday. They have asked for his documents and they’ve seen that he has no valid documents and shouldn’t be there in the first place. They told him to stop work and he refused. Instead, he deployed soldiers to the site.

And no, it is not for FCT to go to court. If the CNS feels he has valid documents, he should be the one to go to court and not the other way round. Deploying soldiers to the site is not only illegal, it is a resort to self help. Absolute impunity. Sadly for him, the game is up. He will never be allowed to develop that place.

I am a human right activist, and we handle possession cases every week. It is illegal in Nigeria to take possession of a disputed property without a valid court order, not to talk of bringing in bulldozers to completely destroy the property.

ALTERNATEID:
lol. The CNS should go to court if he has valid papers and not the other way round. Deploying soldiers to the site illegally to obstruct FCT officials from doing their job is a resort to self help.

It is not the CNS that should go to court but Wike and FCTA, abi Wike dey fear court? Shebi him be lawyer? You want someone to go to court after his property (even if it is disputed) has been destroyed, the land allocated to another person and it has been redeveloped.

ALTERNATEID:
Land grabbing how? Wike can legally revoke any title in FCT so there is no issue of land grabbing. All the lands in FCT is vested in him by law. The land in question doesn’t belong to the former CNS. He has no title, no CofO and no approved building plan. He has absolutely no business building on that land in the first place.

Yes, wike can legally revoke titles in FCT, but has to be done within the confines of the law. He cannot just wake up and revoke land acquired legally without without valid reasons.

ALTERNATEID:
Based on request from INEC and such deployment is approved by Mr. President.

Also add that protection of the life and properties of senior military officers by and armed soldiers is approved by the president

ALTERNATEID:
The part in bold is the point a lot of Nigerians are missing. On what basis should our military be deployed to protect a construction site with a directive to shoot government officials who are on routine monitoring exercise? Are we in a war situation with another country over the property? Is that what we’ve reduced our armed personnel to? Instead of deploying soldiers to fight terrorism and protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria, we now deploy them with the directive to shoot government officials over an illegally acquired land. What a shame.

Like I’ve said before, all the soldiers involved in that illegal operation and show of shame including the person that deployed them to that site should have been arrested by the police and charged to court. I condone impunity far too much in this country and that’s why people get away with a lot of rubbish.

And you are missing the point that Wike had no business rushing to the site to physically confront the soldiers. This statement my Galadima is all shades of wrong - “We noticed the impending danger because armed men were strategically positioned, ready to shoot. And seeing this, I sent a distress call to the Honourable Minister."
Wike is not the courts, nor is he the police. If someone contravenes the building laws, or a landed property is in dispute, the appropriate place to seek redress is the courts, and not to seek self help using thugs and powerful individuals. It would then become a clash of powers as we witnessed. Wike no be superman or spiderman, wey dey help other government officials seek justice or revenge outside the justice system.

Senator Ike Ekweremadu did not commit any crime. He was just doing things the Nigerian way till he reached UK.
Chinedu christian Nwoko is a British Citizen. He is fully answerable to British laws inside and outside Britain. If you don't know the laws of dual citizenship, wait and see.

Senator committed the crime in the UK, not in Nigeria. The crime senator Ekweremadu committed is not a crime in Nigeria and many other countries, including Turkey and India.

The crime Ned was supposed to have committed is a crime in the UK, and not a crime in Nigeria. As long as the parents, family and community recognise the marriage, its legal according to our traditional laws.

festacman:
Tinubu is blocking every opening for 2027 victory. Just wish he could do this with the governance especially reviving the economy.

Tinubu only cares for 2027, nothing else. He believes its only politicians that can secure his victory in 2027, and not the voters, hence all his actions favour politicians. There are lots of ordinary Nigerians in UK jails and jails all over the world, Tinubu does not care. He is only sending high government delegation for a high level politician convicted of organ trafficking.

ceejayluv:
Arrest him because he allegedly commited the crime where? As at the time of Regina's marriage, the minimum age of marriage in the UK was 16 with parental consent.

Ask them, did he marry her in the UK? Even in the UK, lots of immigrants from Muslim countries marry their daughters at less than 18 years of age.

2mch:
You fell into my trap. I knew one of you will fall. Here is the father’s audio, his voice note so his voice could be heard. By the way he was giving interviews up and down social media. The father fought haaard for his daughter. But Ned thought he can use his money to destroy that man’s family and marry his child to use for his own ambition. Now, where is the ambition. Money cannot buy everything.

https://youtube.com/shorts/30g5GYuIBAM?si=ZgSUdD73X6UTE62-

Which Trap? A blogger posted snippets of a voice note claiming to be Regina's father, saying Regina was 17, the Mother granted an interview to BBC claiming she was 19, everyone is free to choose who to believe.
If it was true that it was indeed Regina Daniel's father that made the voice note, then he is a very irresponsible man. He claimed to be a lawyer. If he is a responsible man that love and cared for his children, why did he not take Ned and his ex wife to court for conducting an underage marriage on his daughter? Where was he all the while, when the ex-wife was raising their children alone? Regina and her siblings obviously had no paternal care or guidance. He was busy raising another family and abandoned his children. If it was in the US , he would be in jail for neglecting his children.

2mch:
Video from 6yrs ago. The father shouted everywhere that the girl is 17 and had a surprise wedding. She thought she was going to act a movie. By the way, 65yrs is Ned football age. Ned is about 70 or above 70.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9iWL-4R7gE?si=y-qzHdBNCFbw1Wrh

You posted a bloggers opinion as proof of Regina Daniel's age at the time of marriage. What evidence did the blogger present for you to believe her.

Here is Regina Daniel's biological mother telling the whole world her daughter's age. - https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15rmPQMMCd/

Now, who are we to believe - a blogger or her mother that gave birth to her?

HgAkpobomeEr:
Kukah's comment is a reflection of the self-serving nature of the Nigerian elite.

He was just talking without saying anything. He is just like other religious elites, complicity with the government to exploit the people. Not for once has reverend Kuka condemned the killings of his Catholic Church congregation going on in the North.

malali:

This is not about a lawyer taking up the case......Nigerians are not ignorant.
He will face the Ethics committee of the Solicitors regulation authority
Statutory Rape is a big deal for any queens counsel
If you don't know what you are talking about, i advice you do your research
Ekweremadu walked into the same trap, thinking he was in Nigeria.

I wont be surprised if Ned Nwoko is arrested the next time he steps in the UK
A lot of petition are already flying against him.

Arrested for what? Did he commit any crime in the UK? Or did Nigeria say he committed a crime in Nigeria, and labelled a fugitive?
A lot of you guys are just parroting Western (European) law and customs, and applying it to others without looking at their unique socio-cultural background. Even in the US, people marry multiple wives or under 18 girls. One even documented his "bigamy" in a series called sister wives.

Nigeria operates multiple laws, there is tradition laws, religious laws and English law. And the Nigerian constitution recognises all three laws, with only a caveat that the English law is superior. Then there are different laws between the north and south. The south use the criminal code, while the north use the Penal code. Sometimes these two laws are at variance with each other.

Now back to this case. First Ned is Muslim. He married under both Muslim law and traditional law. Muslim and traditional law permits polygamy and underage marriage. Please note that the Nigerian constitution recognises both Muslim law and traditional law. So it would be interesting for someone to sue a man and the families engaging in underage marriage ceremony.

As much as I detest Senator Ned for marrying an underage girl, I blame Regina's mother and her family more. They openly came out to deny Regina was 17 at the time people raised concerns. They claimed Regina was 19 in unison, and they participated in the marriage ceremony, along with their whole community. So how can you then blame Ned for marrying an underage girl? Na him born am?

Nobody will think of building refinery in the southeast but those same people are drilling oil daily from southeast. They can drill southeast oil but can't build a refinery in the southeast

Many Southeasterners have Oil Mining licences, and some have licences to build refineries since the days of OBJ, why are they not building refineries?

shortgun:
....while in Nigeria we site our refineries in kaduna, hundreds of kilometers from crude oil source, yet not a single refinery has been built in the Southeast, despite the region’s abundant oil and gas reserves.

Old news, or rather outdated victim card. Who or what stops Southeasterners from building refineries in the Southeast, or make the environment conducive for Dangote or other wealthy Nigerians to build refineries in the south east?

badaru911:
I hope this is just for one meal, not 3x. This is what the FG are seeing and saying that 90% of Nigerians are living large. Well mine is oyo and that 1700 is for a family of 4 for a poverty meal Sha. ..

N1700 for a family of 4 ke? Poverty meal or not, how much is the gas or kerosene to cook the meal?

We4all:
How someone can audaciously justify men that cheat as if it were something to be proud of should be studied in Harvard. My joy is that women have become sensible and are giving men a run for their money in the cheating game.

Mean cheat because the can, and that been the way it had been since the dawn of history. Mean have multiple wives, concubines or girlfriends if they have the money, power or drive to maintain them. It's in modern times that it's called cheating, before it was tradition.

LagosOrigin:
For those who may not know about Seyi tinubu wife.

Her full names are Layal Chinwe jade Holm. Her father is a Lebanese while her mom is from Anambra state Nigeria.

She's the future first lady of Lagos state.

So Lagos State has become a monarchy, where son inherit governorship from his father? Otherwise, what qualifies Seyi Tinubu to be governor of Lagos State?

Deepthoughts:
So if the leader of the igbos in Yoruba land is called "chairman"even though "chairman"is not an Igbo word,n such Igbo chairman decides to build an office n name it "office of the Igbo chairman " would you find that acceptable?

Your argument is very weak. Chairman and King are obviously not Igbo words, but they have their direct translations in Igbo. Chairman and King do not have the same meaning. The same way office and Palace have different meaning. King and Palace elicit different emotional appeal to chairman and office. If the so called Igbo leaders refer to themselves as chairman of igbos in Lagos or chairman of igbos in Ghana, I am sure no one will raise an eyebrow. But to refer yourself to King and purport to live in a Palace on someone else's land is seen as an insult to your host. There cannot be two Kings and palaces in a kingdom. Jesus was tried and executed by the Jewish political elites in conjuction with the Romans being referred to as "King of the Jews" or "Eze-Ndijews"

Deepthoughts:
Obviously you don't understand Hausa,sarkin means king in Hausa while "emir"you may be use to is actually Arabic,I know that amongst igbos,their leaders build their palaces as part of their own private homes except in some few cases,I don't really see that as an issue just like the igbos have town hall buildings in many places without issue even where the indigenes don't,to me there should only be issues if the Igbo leaders exercise any authority over non Igbos or on any matter outside the igbos,to me al these vehement opposition to the igbos is just out of unnecessary fear or outright hatred especially as 2027 approaches, it's laughable for you to assume that I must have an Igbo mother girlfriend or friend for me to form my opinion,if such can be done to a major tribe liki Igbo then same people could do worst to minority tribes n you would support it,is this how we are going to build a united peaceful and progressive country?

As the saying goes if everyone you meet is mad, then it's time to start questioning your own sanity. Lagos indigenes says an Eze on their land is unacceptable, you say Lagosians hate igbos. Ondo indigenes says they don't want eze indigbo on their territory, you say they are jealous of you guys. Even in far away Ghana, Ghanaians are incensed that someone is referring to himself as king of igbos on their land, they protested and call for expulsion of all Nigerians from their country. You are shouting ignorance. So everyone either hates igbos, jealous of igbos or are simply ignorant.
Igbos are not the only people that form strong socio cultural bonds amongst themselves in diaspora. The Israelis have a history spanning well over 4000 years in foreign lands, where they still maintained their strong cultural bonds. Never did they form king or build palaces complete with thrones in other people's lands the Lebanese, Indians, and Chinese have strong enclaves in foreign lands. Non tries to title themselves kings.
Nigeria boasts of over 250 different ethnic groups, each with their kinship and traditional institutions, but non attempts to export it to other peoples lands. But the igbos are so stubborn, that they insist on offending the sensibilities of their hosts in foreign lands. It is even so ridiculous that they are now comparing themselves with the Fulanis, an ethnic group they hate so much.

Deepthoughts:
I'm not Igbo, matter of fact I'm from the NC,but why is the so much emphasis against the igbos, we don't hear any noise against sarkin hausawa,ardo of Fulani or the heads of other tribes,is it wrong to have a leader of a tribe in states outside of their own states of origin in Nigeria?

Maybe your mother, wife or girlfriend is Igbo. Have you seen sarkin building a Palace in another man's land? Have you seen any Sarkin in Ghana, Canada, Saudi Arabia or Malaysia? Does the word Sarkin translate to King in Hausa?

DomPerignon:
That's why this ohaneze must be proscribed .

They are challenging the local traditional authority of their host communities in flagrant disregard to existing state chieftaincy bodies and laws.

The group needs to be banned everywhere outside their SE.

Very annoying. The know where to try this their nonsense. They should go and try building palaces in Kano, Saudi Arabia or even England, and call themselves king.

MICHEALADEX:
Oga stop talking nonsense all electronics used in China🇨🇳 are not made in China 🇨🇳 including microchips they also import as well

It's you talking nonsense comparing microchip to refinery. Are you insinuating refining petroleum is as technologically challenging as refining sand to produce microchips. How many countries in the world are able to make microchips?
People make ridiculous excuses to support nonsense.

TimeManager:
Those who have foresight would really appreciate the decision of the President to liberalize the oil and gas sector. Industry players now enjoy the incentives of operating on a level playing field. In addition to being the first ever indigenous export terminal, we also have the first ever indigenous refinery and more indigenous investors currently constructing their refineries.
Also, the Administration has made it seamless for local investors to acquire offshore assets of the International Oil Companies, making indigenous investors become big players in the sector.
This development would inspire more local investors to build more export terminals, sufficiently increase crude oil production, supply more crude to local refineries, earn more foreign exchange thereby strengthening the value of the naira. Already, the Government of Senegal has indicated interest in buying crude oil from Nigeria to feedstock its refinery. God bless Nigeria.

-Kiss the truth!

If the president has foresight as you believe, he would not be encouraging the building of more export terminals, he would be encouraging the building of more local refineries instead. Then would be building terminals or pipelines to supply these local refineries. What's the foresight in building export terminals to export Nigerian crude abroad, while local refineries like Dangote import crude from Brasil, USA, Venezuela, etc.

DomPerignon:
Its about time Ohaneze is banned from existing in any state outside their SE.

If they are not trying to host Ibo day in PHC in clear defiance to the Ikwere people opposing such rubbish, they are everywhere installing fake usurper kings in foriegn lands.

The self described Ibo king of Ghana claims authority from Ohaneze anointing him as king.

In this same Badagry , it is same Ohaneze that is spearheading this usurper throne.

Why can't these people keep their shit to their ye@st?

Why must you want to duplicate your fake kings in another man's land? Don't you know this is a total disregard to the solemn authority of the host community and a statement from your side that you do not recognize the existing cultural and tradional stools in your host community ?

Its not like anyone is forcing you to go bow to the existing host king ?

What manner of senseless provocation is this?

If you want to do your useless and equally worthless ibo kings, then take that nonsense to your ye@st.

Dem swear for una?

Ohaneze seems to be enjoying the influence and power. Afterall, all these are done in its name and authority. Ohaneze claims to be a socio-cultural group, but the meaning of Ohaneze Ndigbo means a gathering of Kings. How can you have a gathering of Kings without actual kings? So it seems So Ohaneze is attempting to usurp or challenge the powers and influence of traditional rulers back home. South East traditional council have actually banned the use of the title Eze Ndigbo (king of igbos) outside igboland, but Ohaneze Ndigbo just ignored them. They are at the same time attempting to build colonies outside igboland, but controlled by the parent body of Ohaneze Ndigbo.

DomPerignon:
There's no project that does not require going back to the drawing board.

So adding an artery link directly to Edo to connect to the coastal highway is now fraud?

I am an architect by training, and also a contractor. From experience, I know this is not how projects are executed. No project requires continuously “going back to the drawing board.” You cannot keep returning to the design stage every time you receive an epiphany or new inspiration.

Yes, it is normal to make variations to a project design—usually to address unforeseen challenges on site or to implement slight modifications to the original plan. But you don’t fundamentally change the design at every phase of the project. That is not how professional project execution works.

What makes this particular project even more troubling is its extreme secrecy. We are not even allowed to see the original design before these so-called variations are introduced. As my friend Deepsight put it, this is a project without any real foundation: no disclosed design, no budget, no Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), no community participation, no Request for Proposals (RFP), no tenders, no progress reports, no legislative oversight—nothing.

Everything is shrouded in secrecy. All we ever hear are official statements from the Minister of Works and other government representatives, but no transparent process, documentation, or accountability accompanies them.
