why not Fed govt obey court order by releasing Kanu

A lower court cannot overrule the supreme court.
The retrial of Kanu was ordered by the supreme court.

coins501:
Shut up if you don't know what to say!!
Majority of his supporters worked for his elections. From his chief of staff, SSG to all his commissioners, there is none in his cabinet today that didn't work for his elections. They only refused to follow Wike sheepishly.
Mention the cabinet members of Sim today that didn't support his election.

The majority of the people who actually fought for his election from the primary stage have all resigned.
His current godfathers all rejected him in the primary stage.
He was imposed on the party. Suddenly, those who opposed his
candidacy during primary have become his pillar.

And they will switch allegiance again after he foolishly dig his own grave.
That is the nature of politics that Fubara don't understand.

coins501:
You are a liar. Rivers is a PDP State. Tell us the popular candidate that won the election. The only thing that happened was that there was low voter turnout after the outcome of the presidential election. Most persons still voted PDP. Stop trying to distort history.

You reason like a child born yesterday.
Labor party, not PDP won the presidential election.
Atiku's PDP came a distant third in the so-called PDP state.

The fraud was so obvious that it was featured on BBC.
This will be my last reply to you as I won't do back and forth
with a person so detached from reality.

There is no persecution of Christian ..what we have in Nigeria is poor leadership and criminal elements like iswap and boko who kill at will, they have killed both xtian and muslim...

You don't have to lie to make your point.
Even the blind can see it.
There is even a recent example of some states shutting down private schools
for a whole month for religious reasons!
Imagine what non-state actors do in such hostile environment.

So you stopped worshipping the jewish god because your brother
wasn't gifted a church's cemetery?

Where is the faith you once professed?

Babangidapikin:
He acted in Good faith by withdrawing the case in court, but you people think you're smart, let get one thing very clear, you can't use the Court to remove a Governor elected by the people. It just have to stop else they will be unintented consequences. It is better you reach a black and white agreement instead of a gentleman agreement because obviously you all are no gentlemen.

When did the "people" elected Fubara?
You mean the people elected Fubara after him and Wike rewrote
the presidential result in favor of APC?

I doubt you have ever been to Rivers state.
If you did, you would know the most hated character after Wike due
to the presidential heist.
His election was heavily engineered with threats, intimidation and rigging.

The so-called "people" only starts loving their governor after the Wike fight began.

And the same "people" will abandon him and find another messiah after he is impeached.

Teenaira:
Infact, the man can rule in river state for upwards of 20years since he does not believe in the rule of law or the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. He should go ahead and start funding the destruction of National assets to force the country to retain him as governor emeritus.

Stop joking.
Just 20 years?
Fubara can rule forever with his 3-member gang even without elections, all he need is a rivers state high court to
nullify the two term constitutional limits.

lildush:
Yes.. some men can marry her. Birds of d same feather flock together... Dey can marry her and later use her for ritual if dey have not used her already. Nothing is useless. Even the most useless things are useful at some point in life.. so don't play

Forget ritual.
Some known prostitutes do get married.

A lawsuit is not a blackmail, it is to seek possible compensation for damages.
Moreover, nobody can be forced to marry another especially an influential Uduaghan.

Benzigler:
They need to know we are aware of their rascality and bastardization of our supreme court and judiciary

Who are the we?

creolehunt:
Let it be clear to all man that she admitted on the VN that she is a prostitute.

You will be shocked when you see her wedding IV with a "loving" man.
There is a reason she didn't care about admitting her disgraceful job.

Why are these "Ethnic" youth leaders worrying over nothing.
Chief justice Ugochinyere has given the correct interpretation of the judgment.
The supreme court didn't really mean what it said.

Moreover, a Rivers high court judge will overturn the judgment next week as usual.

idahme:
He is innocent until proven guilty by a court so says our laws. Anyone who kills him will be charged for murder, i hope you don't find yourself in this precarious scenario.

There is a difference between legal principle and real life events.
And the law has nothing to say about the vast majority of human actions and interactions.
Innocent until proven guilty starts and end in the law court.

And this is not a random guy on the street accused of a random crime.
If you find yourself in such situation, that is, killing a close family member, you
are definitely not innocent.

Justnation:
Stop this stupidity, nothing concerns ohaneze ndi Igbo with the Rivers State government struggles.

Ohaneze ndi Igbo is in full support of governor Fugbara

Why are you contradicting yourself?
Is Ohaneze in full support or nothing concern Ohaneze?

NOETHNICITY:
I don’t understand why Christians are always so bothered by Islam and Muslim affairs.
Why can’t they simply let us practice our faith in peace? Now, after the Sultan announced that Ramadan begins today, we see an outpouring of bitterness and hostility from them.

You will practice your faith in "peace" when you stop forcing others to conform.
You want to use government power to enforce religious rulings on people who are not even muslims
and at the same time wants to be applauded for it.

Here’s the reality—Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. Your hatred changes nothing and has no effect on us.

Yahoo is the fastest growing employer in Nigeria, that doesn't make it right.

JAMO84:
Ipob miscreants ( Not all Igbo) and some busy body Christians just like to poke their dirty noses in Muslims affairs. You will never see us commenting on Christians religion, we believe in freedom of religion.

That is not a muslim affair, that is a state affair.
And Bauchi, the last time I check is not a 100% muslim state.

In Islam, we encourage our children to start practicing Ramadan fasting from the age of 7. Now the weather is so hot in the north, even the parents will find it difficult to get under the scorching sun to pick their children in school while fasting.

You might as well start forcing your 1 year old to fast, that is your personal issue not a government.
You can't be using government power to enforce dubious religious rulings.

The governments that shut schools did so for the people's welfare, and the people are not complaining.

Which people really?
Oh, I forgot the muslims are the people while the rest are animals.
I am wondering when you conducted a survey to arrive at such spurious claims.

Even our Christian neighbours are happy with the decision, because their children too will get some relief from the hot weather condition.

Really, so it is now hot weather that you want to use to deceive the gullible.
That means the desert states should be declaring 9 months holiday to protect children from hot weather.

Since Ramadan is based on rotating lunar month with no fixed season,
I am sure you would also use cold weather and normal weather to justify forceful school closure
in some future date.

It is a shame that security agents are acting like mercenaries for hire.
This has been a problem for years.

invited the anti-cult group to arrest and intimidate my younger brother over questionable money allegedly owed to him and his son

I don't see the need in denying the financial obligations involved.
Since the victim is an adult, he definitely can tell if he owes money or not
because I don't believe such a powerful man who bends the police
and vigilante to his will can just randomly accuse your brother of owing him.

It is even surprising that the apparently powerful individual is an ordinary salary earner in a state university.

You guys should settle the debt and wrap up the case.

But if you choose to fight, the court can't save your brother regardless of verdict, if
the man's power and connection is as described. You must use all the advantage you
can get legal or illegal.

You should make him trend using social media influencers and highlight his job and
employer.

There are also various human rights group you can approach so the man will think twice
about going for the kill as he appears very desperate.

By the time he becomes very famous, all his backers will have no choice but to abandon him.

There are more insidious way to even the score and turn the table around if you are really ready for a war.

The police always saving condemned criminals on time but usually late when
called by victims in distress.

If the killer is well-connected, he will be out in a few years through state pardon.

DeLaRue:
In my opinion, the following outcomes are LIKELY (not certain) to happen:

1. Mr Obasa will remain the Speaker, one way or the other, and possibly resign later on his own terms.

How can an impeached speaker remain a speaker?
Did you mean re-elected as the speaker?
No resignation unless a re-election happen.
And come to think of it, why will he ever resign if he gets back the position?
After all, he is a very strong grass-root politician.

2. The powers supporting Mr Obasa will, over the next few weeks, peel off a few of the rebel House members to Mr Obasa's side with money and promise of a ticket in 2027.

You are correct.

3. The rest of the rebels who refuse to budge, including the lady Speaker, will not get APC ticket come 2027.

Some of the rebels will already know this, hence why they will feel they may as well fight to the end.

You are assuming none of the rebels are grassroot politicians and none of them have
their local power broker/godfather behind them.

What matters most to APC is power, punishment of rebels comes second.
The featherweight rebels may be dropped but the ones who can pull or manipulate voters will scale
through at least until the next governor's tenure.

APC's choice in some constituency will be either to lose the seat or field the incumbents because
you don't expect Obasa to go run election in Eti-Osa for example when he has his own home battles
to fight.

Also, Sanwo-Olu has been claiming neutrality but I believe he is secretly rooting for the rebels.
And given that he is in his second term, he cannot be blackmailed into supporting Obasa, moreover,
the return of Obasa will make his remaining years more difficult as Obasa will come back for vengeance.

4. APC Lagos State branch will keep out of the crisis so as not to give the rebel House members a legal justification to decamp to another party.

They won't decamp even if the APC intervenes.
That is a loophole to declare their seats vacant and a lengthy court battle over authenticity
as obtained in Rivers.

yaki84:
You forget that one with Tinubu is Majority...

Tinubu has dodged both sides that tried to directly meet with him over the issue.

None of the lawmakers would have stood their ground if the fight was with Tinubu.

However, if you belief Obasa is doing Tinubu's bidding, then it can only mean
the lawmakers sensed weakness and are taking full advantage of it.

NothingDoMe:
Zelensky was brought in to make a fool of himself and he has done just that. He has lost more global supporters.

Trump na confirm 🤣

Global supporters?
From where to where?

I never knew Zelensky was on a talent show.
Too many clowns around here.

givedemwotowoto:
Zelensky wasn't just attacking JD Vance and Trump, he was attacking the US, saying nasty and offensive things about the US being in problems in the future. This should be very offensive to every American who loves America.

There is nothing offensive about predicting the future of present actions.
Only low info illiterates Americans will be offended by such.

onyxo76:
Even the Arab world no close schools during Ramadan, yet na for here we dey always overdo things, same with Christianity, na to carry doctrine wey no dey Bible for head like gala

Stop being a coward.
Criticize directly and stop playing both sides blame.

Nobody cares if you decide to fast for a year or carry doctrine for head
as long as you don't force others to join you.

correctyourself:
These hisba people self, what's their business here, i expect such information from ministry of education. It's a shame that the state government would allow them announce such information and not ministry of education

Even if they had deceptively used ministry of education, any smart person knows that such policy
was pushed through by the Hisbah Sharia police.
Because we all know the job of the ministry is to promote education and not hinder it.

LauraX:
If we can do a survey, to see if the people that voted in the government that made the law want it or not, I can bet over 80% supports it. So, why is it that you Christians from faraway states are complaining

It doesn't matter if 90% support it.

You cannot claim they are just "doing their thing" while forcing everybody to
adopt the same practice even non-muslims.
It is even a crime to be seen while eating!

Be bold and admit, that this is a totalitarianism courtesy of Sharia and stop
lying about it.

77up:
That madness of closing school because of Ramada has nothing to do with Sharia oga.

It has everything to do with Sharia.
The circular was issued by Hisbah aka Sharia police enforcers.

ambale:
This man talks too much abeg

Imagine, if he reports you to God, you are finished be that now

Old man misbehaving

Why don't you help him report to God?
So Fubara can report to his god all these while and he didn't?

jiz:
In summary, Trump is telling him that no free money to support the war. You rub my back I rub yours.

It is not about money, it is about the future.

Trump wants a mineral deal without any mention of security support.

Trump wants Ukraine to give up its minerals and any future discovery in exchange for
mere words that Russia won't continue the war.
Even a fool knows that Russia won't stop, it will just wait a few years to rebuild its army and launch
another war after all, it will still be settled with more occupied lands.

salem1996:
Definitely won't happen because Netanyahu don't go about begging for arms. Secondly, he's more concern about his citizens than sympathy.

Thirdly, Netanyahu won't need much support to wipe out Gaza and Lebanon so no need to even be shouted at

Actually, Netanyahu's country is the only one that mainly depends on free arms from the US.
He doesn't need to beg for it because Israeli lobby already begged for it by sponsoring various elections.

You want Ukraine resources up to $500 billion and all future mineral resources discovery without giving anything in return
especially specific security guarantees.


What Zelensky should have done is accept the deal.
Secretly develop nukes and then abandon or renegotiate the parasitic deal in future.
Trump sees every situation in terms of either defrauding the other party
or exploiting their weakness or fear.

Supreme justice Ugochinyere drafted that letter.

I have been waiting for supreme justice Ugochinyere to reinterpret the court order as usual.
But he disappointed me this time.
I expected him to say the Supreme court did not halt allocation and that the 3-member assembly are still
the authentic house and that the election was not cancelled.

Well, the good news is that I heard that Fubara is planning to reverse the supreme court
judgment using a special high court judge.
The judge is expected to sack the 27 lawmakers, reinstate the chairmen and unblock the FG allocation tomorrow.
