It will be contested in court and annulled.

Such declaration can never fly in the US.

All moslims support sharia worldwide, and this bold US move is the game changer. Islam will soon be banned in the western world and will be regarded as terror. Those gladdens me be cause that religion is too violent. Their ways are forceful. Exactly what terrorists do.

These so-called "Islamic organizations" are nothing more than Trojan horses for jihadist propaganda, and they must be banned outright across the entire United States.

Their strategy is an invasion, plain and simple. They infiltrate your nations, hide behind your tolerance, and then breed in millions, using their overwhelming numbers to displace you. Look at Texas! They are buying lands, building their mosques on every corner,not for prayer, but for power. It's a demographic war, they always take advantage of that.
No more political candidacies. No more land purchases. This isn't discrimination, it's called national survival.

Radical Islam is like a cancer. Once it gets a foothold, it uses your own liberal laws as a weapon to destroy you from within. Don't believe me? Just look at the disgrace of Londonistan, a warning of what happens when you show weakness.
Say NO to the Islamist threat.

I dont know why you guys are so lawlessness. It's only in Nigeria that you don't want institution to do its job. Let the judicial process be concluded! If you think he's innocent, let the judge say so! If not let him be convicted. You can then come for "political" solutions afterwards! Even Biden son was convicted but later pardoned. What is wrong with Nigerians!

What Recent Law / Rules Show (2023–2025)

1. Supreme Court Rules (2024)

Under the new Supreme Court Rules, 2024, Order 7, Rule 2(2) explicitly provides that:

> “the proceedings in any matter before the Court below … shall not be stayed in any form to await the outcome of an interlocutory appeal to this Court.”



This means for interlocutory appeals to the Supreme Court, the lower court’s proceedings are generally not automatically stayed.

That is a fairly strong rule: merely filing an interlocutory appeal to SC does not, under the 2024 Rules, suspend the trial court’s process by default.



2. Supreme Court’s General Powers (under the same rules)

The Supreme Court still has powers under its Act / from legislation (“S. 22 Supreme Court Act”) to make “necessary orders … pending the determination of an appeal,” such as injunctions, “upon the fulfilment of … conditions” (e.g., an undertaking).

In other words: you can apply to the Supreme Court for an order (e.g., stay), but there's no guarantee, and there are criteria / conditions (e.g., giving an undertaking, showing hardship, etc.).



3. Lower-Court Discretion & Principles

From a judgment on the National Industrial Court (NICN) (or similar) recently: the court reiterated key guiding principles for stays:

There must be a valid and competent pending appeal.

There must be “special and exceptional circumstances” for staying proceedings.

The appeal must be arguable (i.e., not frivolous) so that granting the stay makes sense.

The court should consider the competing hardship: whether granting the stay causes more prejudice than refusing it.

Preservation of the “res” (the subject matter) is often a reason to grant a stay.

The discretion to stay must be exercised “judicially and judiciously.”


Also, in a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court case (2025), the court refused to stay execution just because a “mere Notice of Appeal” was filed:

> “This Court shall not … Stay Execution … just because the Judgment Debtor filed a mere Notice of Appeal … there is no evidence … that the Record of Appeal has been transmitted to the Court of Appeal … this Court shall not grant the Stay of Execution …”



That suggests that more than just filing a notice is needed: courts want to see that the appellate process is actually in motion (record transmitted, appellate court “seised” of the appeal).



4. Example: Federal High Court Proceeding Despite Appeal

In Yahaya Bello’s money-laundering case, the Federal High Court (Abuja) continued the trial even though Bello had filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal (on jurisdiction, etc.).

The trial judge explicitly said that grant of stay is discretionary, and just filing an appeal is not enough:

> “The grant of stay of proceedings is at the court’s discretion … no one can give an authority … The judge only needs to exercise this power judicially.”



This is quite illustrative: even in a high-profile criminal case, the lower court did not simply stop just because there was an appeal.



5. Supreme Court Statutory Power to Stay Execution

According to a more recent published Act (or amendment), the Supreme Court may grant a “stay of execution … either unconditionally or upon the performance of such conditions” under its appeal jurisdiction.

This shows there is a statutory basis for the SC to stop execution of a lower court’s decision, under conditions.





---

Analysis & Interpretation

Trend: The rules and recent practice lean against automatic stays. Especially with the 2024 Supreme Court Rules, it is more difficult to argue that an interlocutory appeal should freeze lower-court proceedings as of right.

Strategic Implication: If someone wants to stop a Federal High Court from delivering judgment (or further proceedings) pending an appeal:

1. They should apply proactively for a stay (or interlocutory injunction) — not rely on the appeal alone.


2. They need to provide strong justification: show why there is a real risk of irreparable harm, that the appeal is arguable, and possibly give an undertaking.


3. They should ensure the record of appeal is transmitted to the appellate court, because some lower courts treat “no record yet” as a ground to refuse stay.



Risk: If the lower court refuses to stay, it might continue to date hearings or even pass judgment, and then the appeal might be less useful (especially if the judgment is executed or enforced).



---

Conclusion

Yes, there are recent legal developments (especially with the 2024 Rules) that limit the ability of an appellate court (or a party) to automatically pause a lower court’s proceedings just by filing an appeal.

But there is still legal and statutory power (in the Supreme Court Act, and in court discretion) for a stay to be granted — just that it’s more controlled / conditional now.

In practice (e.g., Yahaya Bello’s case), lower courts continue to sometimes reject stay applications despite pending appeals.

We’ve all had that one engine that never complained, even when we forgot to service it on time.

It started every morning, handled bad fuel like a champ, and took Nigerian roads like it was born here.

Some people swear by Toyota’s 1ZZ, others say Honda’s engines age like fine wine.

But we know engines have personalities, some are tough, some are tricky, and some just refuse to die.

I would love to know your opinion on this.

What’s that one engine that earned your respect
