Omotosho cannot be the appeal judge even if he is promoted before then.

Infact, he will want to run away from the matter sef like Binta Nyako, if he has a good head..

Do you know how much credibility that matter cost him at the high court?

US dey watch Omotosho with keen interest.

You dey play with US veterans of Igbo heritage wey dey US?

Lol..look at the dimension this one introduced in the matter. Una too dey overrate Una sef like small yansh.

Aren't you ashamed always linking yourselves to the perceived strength of the USA and Israel like a kid boasting of his association with the area' alagbara'.

Na only Una get USA veteran of Nigerian origin we are to believe the USA will blindly do their bidding? Abi Igbo USA veterans dey sleep when a Nigerian court jailed Kanu for life? At least make Una make the matter make sense na.

This is why, from time immemorial, you lot suck at politics and diplomacy. Both of which you approach with emotions and never a pragmatic understanding of how nations and even regions within a nation relates.

Imagine claiming USA is watching Omotosho they do not even know and are not interested in, merely because he handled the case of a convicted terrorist.

Switruth:
what have you benefited from the buildings? Ozuwor

Make una dey get sense and try show sey una go even primary school na. Your question is like asking what Dutch folks have benefitted from having the ICJ, International Court of Justice, at the Haque in Netherlands.

ECOWAS is an economic bloc of nations like the EU. Having it's Headquarters in Nigeria is a bad or negative thing how? Especially when such is a gift paid for by China? how does youe question make sense?

commoditiesnig:
Good one..




Can you kids stop being silly? Always Negative and complaining!

It's really sad for Nigeria how so many Nigerian adults can be routinely, unnecessarily and ignorantly bitter like this.

The project cost $32 million USD and js fully funded by China out of it's diplomacy outreach effort to keep her a strategic partner of Nigeria in front of others.

China wants to stay ahead of nations like USA that, under Trump, is now looking to build greater incentive-driven economic ties with Africa out of fear of China's increasing influence and impending dominance of the world's mineral and natural resources market.

Kudos to China and congratulations to Nigeria becoming more of a FDi (foreign direct investment) beautiful bride to the world today.Ignorant haters can continue hating.

How China-built Ecowas headquarters is latest ‘concrete symbol’ of Africa ties.

Beijing’s strategy to project influence through gifting prestigious presidential palaces and parliamentary buildings labelled ‘unique’

China is cementing its image as a lasting partner across Africa by gifting high-profile infrastructure, such as presidential palaces and parliament buildings. A key example is the new US$32 million Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) headquarters in Abuja.

Funded by China and set for handover by the end of January, this centralised complex for the 15-member bloc aims to boost staff productivity and cut operational costs. On December 4, Chinese ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai visited the site to review progress and met with the president of the Ecowas Commission, Dr Omar Touray.

Yu hailed the building as a “landmark project of bilateral cooperation” and a strong example of South-South cooperation. Touray, in turn, said the construction, which began in 2022, symbolised “Beijing’s commitment” to regional integration.

TokoEkambi:
Kanu's release? Was he arrested? Because the last time I checked you lot were saying "make dem allest our supleme reader and see Nigeria burn". Since I've not noticed you lot protesting I thought he was still roaming free. Only people that don't know you lot take you seriously.

Lol. Brutal response. I love it. I don't see Nigeria burning either so Kanu must be in London chilling now and the maga in Sokoto must be some clone from Cameroon lol.

Silly bloggers and content creators with senseless click bait for the gullible and ignorant. Why is Sowore "challenging" Tinubu about "proof" he has?

Is that how it is done in sane nation when it is the Court handling his defamation case Sowore should be submitting proof to.

Same way Tinubu allowed the trial of Kanu to run it course and lead to his life imprisonment. Some supporters of Tinubu, who believed him to be about votes alone, said he would release Kanu in 2026 and use him to gain SE votes. Tinubu showed he is not interested in SE votes from Kanu by not interfering in the case..

Fans of Kanu said he can never be jailed under Tinubu. PBAT never responded and said nothing even after Kanu was jailed for life. Both were wrong because they don't know Tinubu and his leadership inspiration and thinking.

Sowore will be found guilty no doubt, same as Kanu, and will be ended in Nigerian politics, if convicted under criminal rather than civil indictment, same as Kanu's criminal prosecution has ended any hope he may harbour over political leadership in Nigeria.

People keep underestimating Tinubu because they believed they know and can predict him. Many found out the hard way that is not possible.

Nairalanders judge for yourself the offence the post below committed to see it yanked. I wonder if it was because I mentioned a certain messiah from the SE.

We don petition mods tire and they never explain. Yet they join to indict Nigerian leaders of arrogance and high-handedness.

floss:
So Reno made the same statement but was rewarded with ambassadorial appointment, Tinubu made a defamatory statement against a president Jonathan in 2011… did he take him to court ?

If the Nigerian court and their judges aren’t stooges of the president, he won’t have the confidence to take someone to court or ask anyone Go to court !!!

I expected the president to take Reno to court for him to prove all his said…. Sowore only re-echoed what Reno said

You keep missing the central point with the bolded showing you are emotional, not a critical thinker and don't inspect what others write let alone learn from it.

Using the example I gave before, you can call me a criminal and I decide to charge you to court. Another person, Mr.B, can call me same and I decide to let it slide and even hire him as a manager in my company.

My choice and mine alone completely that I do not not have to explain to you or anyone let alone a Court in place to establish your guilt or innocence alone and not who I filed or refused to file charges against.


Yours is to face the case of defamation of character I filed against you formally in Court and not to be asking me why I am prosecuting you and not Mr.B as the irresponsible Sowore is doing.

I just pity people like you who follow anarchist and lawless elements to then start making excuses when those people go too far and have fallen foul of the law proving they have nothing to offer as leaders.

If Sowore cannot even respect basic tenets of exemplary leadership behaviour, such as the need for those who wish to lead to understand they must set example of lawful and upright behaviour for followers, what is he hoping to achieve seeking to be President?

Is this not the reason Nigerians, after seeing he has nothing to offer as a leader, gave him under 40k votes in 2019 and slightly over half of that in 2023? By 2023 Sowore can expect 300 votes with one of them coming from you.

floss:
What was Sowore expecting ?

You want to win Tinubu in his Omotosho court ?

As long as the CJN is a stooge of the president, don’t think of standing before the court for trial against the president or his boys

If government charge you to court, just beg for mercy as long as your trial is in Nigeria court

I feel real sbame being from the same Country as some of you.

If you call me a "criminal" and I do not have a single official criminal indictment then what manner of idiocy would lead you to malign the Court as 'compromised when the issue is simply about proving your allegations to win the case or fail to prove your claim and automatically lose the case.

If you are naturally progressive and law-abiding you'd understand that the law must apply to all as much as possible, so Nigeria becomes a developed nation.

Meaning you must (not an option) support ideas that are right and best for society always nstead of individuals you love or hate who are flawed and can be right or wrong.

Tinubu you hate is right in the case 100% and Sowore you love and view automatically right is guilty of defamation of character if he cannot prove Tinubu is a crimnial.

Nigeria will struggle to develop because too many possess your mindset and think like you.

BENEAMATA:
We await the verdict , but surely not with bated breath . Expecting the daft punk and his Godawful , next to clueless lawyers to win their stupid prizes as reward of playing stupid games even up till now in the court proceedings . Tendering press clips of Tinubu insulting former president's as evidence ? Really. ? ! Is the judge treating a Jonathan vs Tinubu's case presently . Did the law states that you can be acquitted if you defame someone without evidence because the defamed has done it to someone else previously ? Sowore needs urgent psychiatric evaluation .

Definitely agree with the bolded and I expect Sowore to be convicted of defamation of character because the argument boils down to Sowore's legal representatives presenting proof PBAT has been convicted of a crime that then makes it factually correct for him to be called a criminal by anyone.

This lack of proof of criminal conviction against PBAT is why Sowore is clutching af straws with numerous distractions mentioning Omokri and citing that Tinubu defamed Murtala Mohammed in 1994 and got away with it so therefore he too should be legally allowed to defame Mr.President

Dalohad:
They succeeded in deceiving only WizardofNG on this thread. Dem carry am handicap.

E good make person get better I.Q..

You're the one not intelligent enough to understand that the presence of 1 million Bots in this thread does not invalidate the fact that Sowore is an immature, irresponsible and uncouth anarchist no one should support.

Kanu can lie Buhari was a paedophile who married our former first lady when she was twelve with Buhari graciously choosing to ignore him.

That does not prevent Tinubu from insisting, as is his right to do, he will not ignore Sowore's damaging slander.

It is Our President's right to make a legal point against a politician and two-time Presidential candidate who feels that irresponsibly and lawlessly defaming the character of his political opponents, because he assumes Nigeria is a jungle without laws, is the way to play politics.

patrickcollins:
We know he won't win because those judges are compromised, they will always do the bidding of their paymaster

Be sensible. Why should allegations you cannot factually prove win in Court when such may damage the reputation and life of another human being considerably?

Is that how you want the law and society to work in Nigeria? I.e in your favour always against those you hate as if they also do not deserve protection under the law?

You hate Tinubu yet what is actually and factually his current verified status minus beer parlour dem say dem say gossip Sowore disgraced himseld to engage in? Is there a criminal conviction against Tinubu anywnere passsd by any compefent Court of Law?

If he is not a convicted criminal as Sowore claims, should Nigerian legal system disgrace itself by ruling in favour of Sowore to then show the world it is an aberration that does not recognise it is those who allege who must prove their case in law?

helinues:
Gazette and this op are just full of anything fake

In Which christian community did that happen In Kwara state?

Nowhere in the Gazette report was "Christian genocide" mentioned. That is purely on the OP for which he/she should be sanctioned.

At the very least, Mods should have changed thread title asap to avoid unhelpful and incendiary misinformation.

Orlandoo:
You huffed, puffed, but at the end you said nothing.

Okay na. Shebi Kanu your Messiah is in jail after you all stroked his ego to make him believe he is a god who "can decides who dies or who lives"abi?

Sowore is next to be destroyed by you destructive cheerleaders. Afterall, you lot said worse to insist
Nigeria can never find Kanu guilty let alone jail him.

The rest is history as they say. Lol.

harunchina:
He is a clown.

Big clown. How stupid can a person be to not understand defamation of character against the President of a nation, that can never be proven , could land the accuser in serious trouble when said President decides to prosecute to the full extent of the law and to the conclusion of the case?

Sowore could get a criminal conviction from this and be barred from ever running for public office if PBAT really wants to have his time and make an example of him.

I would even go so far as to question the sanity of Sowore given all these self-destructive things he does.

Orlandoo:
No serious person should take this thread from Reno Omokri serious. Reno Omokri is the poster of this thread.

Continue fooling yourself with your IQ that is not even af room temperature level.

Some of us, because we are proper and responsible adults living law-abiding and productive lives, warned this was a slam-dunk case of defamation of character that is a criminal case in Nigeria.

Your ilk made ignorant noise and backed Sowore blindly as you did Kanu till he ended up doing life imprisonment.

That is my commenf from only a couple of days ago, I accurately predicted Sowore's guilty fate, to show your kind you need to grow up, embrace a more mature and adult approach to life so you win, succeed and gain solutions.

Love800:
Hello.

I want to understand something.

I thought that subsidy has been removed. So what subsidy is the article talking about please?

No. Subsidy on electricity has not been fully removed. It can't be removed fully as many Nigerians would simply nor be able to afford grid power right now if that happens.

Rather tiered removal of subsidy is in place, with a subsidy phasing-out approach till full removal is attained, moving from band A downwards.

Power users in Band A tariff areas, for example, enjoy no subsidy at all while lower bands still benefit from government assistance to varying rates of subsidy subvention.

TheBizGenius:
Bola Tinubu actually did this right.

The interpretation is that if you don't have light, it's the fault of your governor and not the president.

Now, each state will mandate every house to go get a meter so that the amount of subsidy the state will pay will be minimal or zero.

This will affect the northern states a lot as the residents don't like paying light bills normally.

Now, we are all being forced to become responsible.

Kudos to you, Bola.

You're indeed a "Genius". Any President unwilling to 'change it' for Governors and LG Chairmen should be ready to continue bearing the curses of Nigeria heaped on him daily.

Nigerians believe the President is the one behind every single one of their woes not Governors and LG Chairmen.who now get substantially more money to make greater leadership impact.

Any President not ready to throw Governors under the bus, to expose their failings to the people, is not ready to enact fiscal federalism in it's full reformational might..

jamafa:
Why efcc no carry Aregbesola, El-Rufia, John-Oyegun n d likes??

U just dey cap 💯

Don't mind them. EFCC this ICPC that. So pedestrian and unimaginative.

AMINDA:
Contrary to what you all think, Tinubu does not own the APC even though he tried to scheme all other blocs that formed the APC out in favour of ACN. Someone has to stay behind and rebuild the party to its original ideals once Tinubu is voted out in 2027.

You always have a ready made excuse to roll off your duplicitous tongue even though they make no damn sense most times.

Northerners eyeing greater role in Nigerian politics, including Atiku and El Rufai's own sons, are not willing to do 'Abobaku' with the ambition of a few desperados built on dishonour, treachery and refusal to be a man of one's word.

The North never used to be known for dishonour, treachery and dishonourably reneging on a gentleman's agreement since 1999 and until Atiku tried to replace Buhari in 2023 with some prominent Northerners, like Tambuwal etal, joining him in the plot.

Northerners who are still reasonable and balanced (they are many in number) will show Atiku thery do not want the damaging stench and odious reputation he wants to give Northerners that Nigeria may never recover from. Watch and see.

helinues:
I can bet it that you don't even know what this is all about but as an opposition supporters, na so una dey shook mouth into things you no know

God bless you. Their level of ignorance, that they bask in so proudly in public, is embarassing.

This is the way to go towards restructuring and true fiscal federalism that divest more money, control, independence and power to States and regions but also demands more responsibilty from them, financial and socio-economic, to make a difference in the lives of Nigerians.

Nigeria is failing because all Nigerians face the FG while they allow Governor and LG chairmen to cruise through office even as we all live in States and local government of Nigeria and not Aso Rock with PBAT.

Some even flee their worthless Governor who has made their States opportunity-bereft and awful to then be attacking the FG and PBAT from the new State they have moved to while remaining silent over the Governor who made them flee home for other States of Nigeria.

MrSly:
Stop talking . Let your governors move for self determination. Let all the major regions be their own country. That is all that is needed to know who needs who.

When we say you are unlettered you begin to cry. It is legislators who can move for "self-determination" not Governors because constitution change, to reverse how secession is banned in Nigeria and an act of treason, is the first act before a referendum can be granted.

The referendum, after criminalisation of secession has been removed, will then allow people to vote to leave Nigeria if they wish.

Stop allowing lawless, hate-preaching and anarchic element, like Kanu etal, to brainwash you with the stupidly redundant garbage you lot regurgitate daily about agitation for self-determination being your legal and human rights.

Why do you think your legislators who know precisely what is required have never moved to review the 1999 constitution to pave way foe emergence of Biafra? Yet you keep shouting Governors up and down.

The sad thing is that most of you are not adequately educated enough to possess indepedent and discerning minds. You simply regurgitate the garbage Kanu etal tell you whereas they are also unlettered but trouble-making, violent and anarchic ignoramuses to boot.

MrSly:
Stop talking . Let your governors move for self determination. Let all the major regions be their own country. That is all that is needed to know who needs who.

You think Yorubas can't read and comprehend like some folks we know who keep chasing a mythical nation while secession remains outlawed and an act of treason, according to the Nigerian constitution, courtesy of one of their greatest Sons in Azikiwe?

Yorubas, as law-abiding people, work with respect for the rule of law. We are never joining your secession idiocy as an ethnic group.

We will focus on what can be achieved for now within the provision of the law of Nigeria and review stance if and when things change.

We are not your mates.

All these foreigners who view Nigerians and Africans as dumb, and our nations places to make stupendous wealth, should not complain if duped because most of them are ready to engage in criminal activities, like illegal mining, to cart away Nigeria's wealth to their nation.

Anyone seeking legit investment should go to legit and verified authorities who can assist them to invest legally and safely.

They should rememwber the golden rule of "caveat emptor" i.e "buyers beware' and the warning "a fool and his money are soon parted".

According to the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the EFCC, the defendant allegedly deceived his victims by claiming he would facilitate investments in mineral resource mining and deep seaport development projects.

Same people will tell people to go to their states, yet they are not from Lagos. The company must retrieve every kobo of the N90 million.

It is always you bigots, in haste to mock others you hate, ridiculing yourselves as seriously intellectually challenged with your nonsensical talk and reasoning.

That the accused stole in Lagos and fled to Ekiti confirms he is from Ekiti and precludes him being from Lagos?

What of "Killaboi" (Benjamin Best Nnanyereugo) who murdered his girlfriend in Nigeria and fled to Sierra Leone to even procure the passport of the nation?

We should all be dumb enough to conclude he is from Sierra Leone because that is where he fled to escape arrest? Better learn to think before you open your mouth.

Killaboi: Murder suspect arrested in Sierra Leonean nightclub

BusinessDay October 21, 2023


Benjamin Best Nnanyereugo, a Nigerian man suspected of murdering his girlfriend, was arrested in Sierra Leone on Friday, October 20, 2023.

Nnanyereugo, popularly known as Killaboi, had been on the run since July 13, 2023, when he allegedly killed his girlfriend, 21-year-old Augusta Onuwabhagbe Osedion.

According to reports, Nnanyereugo changed his name to Kanu Princeton Samuel and paid $25,000 to purchase a Sierra Leonean passport under his new identity.

He was arrested at a nightclub in Freetown, Sierra Leone, with some ladies.

The Nigerian police have yet to confirm Nnanyereugo’s arrest, but a picture of him in handcuffs is already circulating on social media.

Major7:
You shouldn’t have let a fool like him drag you down that part,he should have been completely ignored. I just don’t know why their parent fed them with so much hatred 😢
Election will come and then they will remember we’re one Nigeria, May God heal our lands

I normally ignore them but some are on a different level of Animal-like behaviour. I blame it on hateful indoctrination thsy use to damage and ruin themselves from one generation to the next.

JibolaUsman:
A Yoruba Professor claims Awolowo betrayed Ojukwu who openly supported Awolowo to become President after the first coup. According to the Yoruba Professor Ojukwu wanted Awolowo to be President even ahead of Azikiwe. Ojukwu had zero tribalism in him because he was born in the North of Nigeria and came from a wealthy home. I'll go to YouTube to get the Professors name.

Why are you telling me all this "JibolaUsman"?

Karlovich:
Are these the cretins Awo drank ratak and stabbed everyone in the back to secure their future. This is very shameful as an omoluabi, spits

Lol. Check out this irredeemable bigot. You mean like Azikiwe who died depressed because his efforts only raiseds the likes of Ikonso, Dragon, Gentle De Yahoo and other merciless serial killers and genocidal cultists.

dragunov:
There was never a Southern unity. So there's no need for you to tell us about the death of "southern unity". From time immemorial, the Ibos have always sought to clinch with the Fulanis and fight bitterly with the Yorubas. From time immemorial, the people of the old Midwest had always aligned with Yorubas. Recently, the people of the Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Calabar have decided to align with the Yorubas in a bid to escape the repeated attempts to be captured by Ibos. So you can't be missed.

Bro, when those folks talk one has to question their reasoning, grasp of reality and sanity.

Who are the real "unity beggars" other than those whose socio-economic fortunes is tied inextricably to other as they rely on Yorubas, their markets and opportunity-laden region for the sustainance of the SE whereas Yorubas need absolutely nada from them?

The whole thing is as stupid as Romania deluding herself the UK is begging her for EU unity.

They keep increasing their footprint in the land of others daily, myopically putting themselves at the greater mercy of others, while Yorubas continue to resolutely shape the SW in readiness for regional autonomy.

Yet some unlettered, revisionists, dishonest and delusional nuisances will come here trying to threaten and gaslight Yorubas over "Southern Unity" reality shows the SW does not need nor is interested in.

The future will shock them again, as is always the case, because they lack the vision, critical thinking and wisdom to discern how it will shape out.
