senatordave1:
See jamb question.its people like you that will shout that atiku will win most yet you know little about politics.

Mr know-it-all it's just a simple question that requires "yes" or "no" response and nothing more...please I am not one of the atikulooteds, I am fully in support of the NEXT LEVEL 4+4 = 2023, no going back to Egypt!

senatordave1:
its more than what atiku pulled in kwara.

Has Atiku campaigned in Kwara state?

deomelo:
You mean the same disgraced and corrupt judge as the chairman of the NJC should recommend to the President his own suspension or removal?

Even for that to happen, there must be a gathering or meeting of the NJC to deliberate before recommendation, but the same crooked and corrupt CJ canceled NJC meetings indefinitely, meaning the NJC cannot get together to discuss anything, not even any recommendation.

The corrupt judge abused and truncated the NJC process in a dictatorial manner for his own selfish and self-serving interest just to evade justice and accountability.

It beats me why you people support and defend corrupt and lawless acts against the constitution on one side and on the other side claim and shout that you are defending the constitution.

You can not have it both ways at the same time

Thank you very much, you have used your brain well and you really understand the whole scenario of a corrupt CJN shamefully trying to hold the entire country to ransom thereby disgracing his profession and colleagues. SHAME !!

ToriTori247:
As reactions continue to trail the suspension of Justice Walter Onoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, some lawyers and civil society organizations have vowed to mobilize over 220 million Nigerians against the reinstatement of the embattled CJN.

The groups said any attempt to reinstate Onnoghen would bring the nation’s judiciary into ridicule before the international community.

Lawyers of Conscience, CSOS, Professionals Without Border and other group commended President Buhari for taking the anti-corruption fight to the judiciary arm of the government.

Princess Ajibola Esq, Convener of the group urged the federal government not to bow to the pressure from the opposition parties and few Nigerians who are not happy with the ouster of the billionaire CJN.

Speaking at a world press conference on Saturday in Abuja, Ajibola said the entire war against corruption would be meaningless if the judiciary continues to remain rotten since the conviction rate has remained dismal even though many suspected corrupt persons have been arraigned

His words, “Since even corruption has company, expectantly, there have been reactions to this development. The preponderance of reactions has been that the suspension of the former CJN to pave way for a fair trial of his case at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and to save the judiciary from disrepute is a step in the right direction.

“The judiciary had in the last two weeks been at its worst as those over whom Justice Onnoghen had powers were coerced into delivering one ridiculous ruling after another in the attempts to shield him from standing trial.

“However, a narrow but fierce minority has launched a campaign to muddle the issues and create the impression that the removal of a CJN that wilfully violated the laws of Nigeria is a rape of democracy.

“It is instructive that this narrow minority is led by the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), whose members have been the greatest beneficiaries of the baffling Supreme Court rulings that were procured while Onnoghen was still in office. Members of the same party had also been reported to be banking on a Justice Onnoghen-led judiciary to sell election victory to them.

“May we also note that the lynch mob that have been criticising President Buhari have added the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) as their choristers, with Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) taking on the role of back-up singers. It is simply ridiculous when we are reminded that even the current leader of the association has a case of money laundering pending before a competent court, which makes a corrupt judiciary attractive to this set of critics. The only fortunate thing is that the position being canvassed as that of the NBA is nothing but the view of a few people that are fortunate to currently be at the helms of its affairs, for we have seen many lawyers have voiced opinions that support the steps President Buhari has taken.

“Buoyed by the wrong premises advanced by the PDP and NBA, a few Nigerians have also come in their personal capacities or as groups to repeat the misleading argument that the suspension of a corrupt judge is a threat to democracy. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The real danger to democracy is allowing mobster judge continue to lead the most important arm of government, for the judiciary remains the hope of the common man.


“We are also aware that some of them that hitherto were car parks and mortuary attendants in foreign lands are posturing as professional Nigerians and making contact with foreign countries to come and help restore Justice Onnoghen, even though the breach he committed would have attracted stiff jail terms in the countries being so approached. May we educate those that have been sent on the international errand to bring opprobrium upon Nigeria that this is Nigeria addressing its internal challenges with corruption based on extant legislation. The point where other countries are being invited to come and “enforce” in Nigeria what they will not accept in their own jurisdiction.

“Had a poor civil servant or lowly officer committed this same infraction of saying they forgot to declare certain assets or bank accounts in their name they would have gotten to jail faster than it takes Justice Onnoghen to put on his wig. But a man who has lived most of his life interpreting the law is reluctant to present himself before a tribunal that has summoned him. If an everyday Nigerian behaves the same way the implications would be dire. Yet we are all clamouring for a Nigeria where we are all treated as equal before the law.


“We therefore condemn in its totality, this deliberate attempt by mischief-makers, hiding under the lie of defending democracy and in tandem with the billionaire ex-CJN to attempt criminalizing an action taken in furtherance of the anti-corruption. The dubious nature of their response to the suspension of the ex-CJN is exposed by the growing threats from these people, which border on trying to shut down the government simply because President Buhari dared to touch corruption at its very core as the judiciary had become the guaranteed for corrupt people that they can always escape the consequences of stealing from Nigerians.

“We salute the courage of President Buhari for daring to take on corruption in the judiciary even on the threshold of elections without fearing that he could lose the votes of those that may be positively disposed to keeping that arm of government corrupt. Yet we acknowledge the imperative of taking this step, which is obvious. The entire war against corruption would be meaningless if the judiciary continues to remain rotten since the conviction rate has remained dismal even though many suspected corrupt persons have been arraigned. They simply get arraigned and then initiate series of hanky-panky that means they never get convicted.

“The billionaire ex-CJN, Justice Walter was reputed to be the coordinator of sale of justice by the bench with the money found in his undeclared account said to be the proceeds of judgement procured by the likes of Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who curiously has had a case that is not too different from Justice Onnoghen’s own before the CCT. Corrupt politicians and Nigerians are aware of this and would have preferred that the status quo remain.”

Well said !
The APC-led government will be very foolish to re-instate the corrupt CJN no matter what America or Europe says or does. These countries will never tolerate such corruption of monumental proportion from thier citizens talkless of their judiciary. The PDP keep accusing PMB that his corruption war has never yielded any conviction but the truth is that they have corrupted all the judges that no matter what this government does to prosecute obvious corruption cases they are let off the hook. A CJN should be a man of impeccable character and intergrity and should not have any skeleton in his cupboard.
I think lovers of the fight against corruption should equally mount a strong campaign in support of PMB and his fight against corruption.
#saynotocorruptCJN#

I am not very impressed with this PDP outing in owerri
Even the crowd are not looking excited either !!

Dhenz:
Kids like you spew trash. Obj scared? You don't know anything. Buhari is a massive massive failure. Let buhari dare obj, then you will know there are people who will ensure that buhari is gone for good.

Just wait for Buhari's second term, no need wasting time arguing. When your cup is ful it is full. Buhari knows what he's doing and Obj knows deep inside him he's not safe and right-thinking Nigerians are solidly behind PMB to bring to justice all those that raped this country to standstill. In sane countries like China some people would have been executed publicly for stealing the country dry but here in this country youths like you whose future is being destroyed sell your conscience for a piece of bread. Shame !

From all indications Obasanjo is really afraid and feels very unsafe about the prospects of a second term for Buhari.

It is very clear the second term of Buhari will be brutal for the guilty and the corrupt hence the endless onslaught against him.

For me honestly I do believe the man has done very well and achieved a lot already within the short period he has ruled the country and his

second term will be much better for this country.

MamaTheMama:
are you going to Sheffield Hallam?

Yes my cousin is going to SHU and I need affordable accommodation for her starting January. Any help?

Hello friends
Can anyone help with accommodation In Sheffield for January starting ?

thonerow:
I applied for dependant visa actually. I am going to Sheffield though

Hallam?

justwise:
We comprehend your question but you don’t like the answer because it’s not something you want to hear.

You got a loan to finance your study in the U.K. and after submitting your application you want to return the money. That is misrepresentation which carries 10yrs ban

I thought he meant using part of the money and not removing the whole money or am i missing something ?

justwise:
Since it’s a simple question why not answer it?

Honestly if i know the answer i Will gladly help but since i didnt know the answer i kept quiet and didnt discourage him with unfriendly response . What i meant by simple was "straightforward" requiring just a yes or no response if u know the answer with or without an explanation if u chose

Raymondnwajei:
PLEASE IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE PART OF THE MONEY YOU KEPT FOR 28 DAYS AFTER YOU MUST HAVE DONE YOUR APPLICATION AND SUBMITTED? URGENT ANSWER NEEDED

Please dear friends this question is reasonable and makes sense, instead of attacking him with unfriendly replies or referring him to go read the rules without even telling him where to read the rules and even telling him to browse over 300 pages of this thread to find an answer to his simple question it's better to tell him if u already know it. Let's be our brother's keeper please

mimilyrics:
You're still kinda saying the same thing with @laajiblik
Even after paying the tuition, the sponsor needs to send the maintenance money to his/her account.

Totally agree...
I was thinking laajiblik meant to say the WHOLE MONEY must be sent to his account by the sponsor and from his account he can start paying the fees and allow the rest to sit 28 days

LaaJiblik:
Let your REAL sponsor send the REAL money into your REAL bank account.
Then use the REAL money to pay the REAL school fees etc.
Then let the remaining REAL money sit in your REAL account for 28 REAL days.
Then apply for REAL T4 visa.

Someone had earlier said that your sponsor can pay your tuition fees directly from his account and then send your upkeep fees to your account where it must sit for 28 days. So I don't think the whole money must be sent to your account unless sponsor wishes to do so but I know some sponsors will prefer to pay straight the tuition fees in order to reduce the total amount needed to sit in your account.

LaaJiblik:
Did you say you were going for an MSc?
After bagging a First degree?

Yes I am applying for Masters.

Please while filling an application form for Msc I am asked if English Language is my first Language, as a Nigerian can I tick "Yes" to the question?

Hello good friends.
I applied to a school for a masters degree in uniRegina and sent the supporting documents by mail. Now they have sent me a mail as below asking to change the formats of the document, please house how do I go about this knowing that some of the documents appear if jpeg form, word, or pdf.

Please scan all documents (transcripts, degree certificates, supplementary items) into a single Black and White PDF file and send as an attachment to an email. Files in other formats (i.e., jpeg, zipped, google docs, etc.) are not acceptable.
Scan the documents in a readable resolution (100dpi and in grey scale).
PDF files should be 3MB or less in size. If you must scan in a lower resolution to ensure all documents are not larger than the limit, please ensure the PDF is still readable.

babarexo:
No need for authentication

Thanks !

Please gurus of the house advise me, My cousine applied for a master degree in one of the UK universities and awaiting for admission. I want to know whether her degrees (OND, HND and PGD) need to be authenticated at the ministry of Education Abuja as a must?
I have heard some people say different things about this I don't know whether she must do this or not please advise accordingly, thanks.

mimilyrics:
BrExit and the lack of a post study visa. People are opting to study in countries that allow them to stay on to work after school without issues.

ok i get it thanks

OlowoB:
You will get your visa within 3 weeks because students coming to the UK this year from Nigeria has been low for obvious reasons.

All the best.

Why the low patronage and what obvious reasons please?

Big congrats

Shakushaku1:
Nothing was rigged bro, if u dnt stay in the state u wldnt believe, I met with friends who are opposition and said same number of vote counted at the polls were declared by inec, hard to believe but fayose was actually booted out, nobody saw that coming, most of his allies betrayed him, he thought he had their backup but they left him a long time ago.. Not their fault tho, fayose was selfish and self centered, u claim to be a saint but embezzle money underG, cut govt appointees salaries for your own benefit and personal monetary gain, he's been feeding fat but his followers stays hungry..

Stomach infrastructure was sham, Just another way to steal tax payers money, if u know anyone in ekiti, tell them to visit their office, I bet u wnt find a single bag of rice in that commission, tell them to speak with some of the workers then ull get a better picture, millions are been allocated for stomach infrastructure, but stipends are been spent for the masses,while the chunk of the loot is being kept by fayose.

A lot of things will unfold in weeks to come, but I trust my pple to call it victimization or witch hunting cos he's pdp, but ask urself how many times has buhari or fayemi threatened or replied fayose despite all his antics?

Yoruba pple dnt play party politics, if u mess up u must go home, no two ways about it, ya party pple will even join hands to fck u up, let's keep sending them home until they realize this and sit up.


Ekiti election was free and fair

Excellent analysis bro.
