These look like a tribal war between d bandits and yorubas. D bandits who do not like d BAT APC FG have been attacking d yorubas in d NC
m

For goodness' sake, what's wrong with you people that think like this? Must you attach ethnic undertones to every single issue that pops up?

Did you even read the news report? They attacked a non-Yoruba speaking community in a non-Yoruba LGA, yet you're here spewing ethnic cleansing conspiracies

HydraFeeds:
It's a coordinated attack ,it's not a bandit attack but ethnic cleansing.

This kind of thinking is shameful. Please, receive sense. They are killing people. They don't give a rat's ass what ethnicity their victims are.

Judolisco:
oga it's all thesis or dissertation... It's jst the depth of the work that differs... At undergraduate level it's usually less extensive..... Go and check the meaning of thesis itself

Project - undergraduate
Dissertation - master's
Thesis - phD

It is only here that this distinction in terminology is made. Like you said, they all describe the same kind of work. The terms simply distinguish the increasing depth expected at each stage

LordIsaac:
What an article! Just verbatim with no central theme.

Thank you very much. Someone had to say it. Poor journalism. The reporter/writer just churned out verbosity without purpose nor insight

ajalawole:
how old is the emir Mr emir speak person. Has the Governor or even the emir do or speak against all the killing in Kwara north

I don't disagree with you. The government is not acting aggressively to tackle it.

All I'm saying is, people should stop making it about politics

Rootprof:
My people i keep shouting help kwara north, Edu and Patigi are becoming tough to live everyday. Don't know/see what the govo is doing concerning insecurity in our land. Gbugbu international market can't be accessed for month now due to insecurity now Yikpata camp too. What's left then. Rural settlers are leaving their homes and properties in numbers, millions lost, crazy crazy crazy.

It's so terrible.

I don't understand why the governor has not taken decisive action yet. This thing has been going on for months now. Kwara North and South is terrorised at this point.

Only Kwara Central is a bit calm

mastermaestro:
Stop living in self-denial. Someone just opened your eyes to the true picture, unfortunately you still choose to continue lying to yourself. Reality will clear your eyes in the coming days.

What self-denial? What are you saying? Why must you people always politicize terror? These bandits are killing everybody, Yoruba, Nupe, Hausa, Fulani and what-not.

They don't give a rat ass who is Emir or who's governor or whatever political spin you people are adding to it

ajalawole:
the insecurity is likely a game plan bro. The current emir is old, and most Yoruba may not want another Fulani emir, Fulani may also not want Yoruba emir or oba so those guys maybe taking position in time for the eventualities. The government may not know this, but is likely.

What's with you people and these narratives that the emir is old, that there's dislike for Fulani or Yoruba Emir blah blah blah.?

SarkinYarki:
Na lie , nothing concern Trump with external elections , he is not Obama ....

Oh yeah? Check Ireland's election where he's pushing Connor McGregor to run for president.

However, I do agree with you in the sense that Nigeria is too inconsequential for Trump to care who's president.

We are mistaken to think the US rates us like that. Even Ghana here has more geopolitical significance in West Africa than mother Nigeria.

How much is the councillor's salary himself?

Unless he collects allowances for aides, he'd be personally responsible for their renumeration.

Kwam 3 in the making.

The only problem is, there'd be nothing to trade it off with, unlike the first two Kwams

ryloy:
BREAKING: 19-year-old APC candidate wins councillor seat in Rivers State.

There is a question of eligibility hanging over this. Is a 19 year old eligible to run for a councillorship?

Ideally, it depends on what is provided under the Local Government Law of the state. For most states, a person must be 25. But again, the laws of every state vary. So it might be different in Rivers

Kobojunkie:
You are right. I learned that Judicial interpretations/opinions, even in Nigeria, are not absolute— they can be challenged and overruled/overturned, hence the importance of knowing the details of the Law itself.

Now, can we move on?

Say hi to Chat Gpt for me.

So people now rely on Chat Gpt to give responses in conversations? Wonders of all wonders

Kobojunkie:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This coming from someone whose language so far more than establishes him as one sitting on exactly that... a high horse. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Abeg, waka pass me with your particular issues.

You just accurately summed up your attitude. Thank you for saving me the stress of doing that.

At any rate, I'm glad you learnt something new about the legal system. It gives me joy that I updated your outdated knowledge.

Cheers

Kobojunkie:
I prefer to focus on learning what the Law instead says.
[quote author=Kobojunkie post=136611406]Again, pay close attention to what is being said so you do not keep needing to go off on these meaningless rants.

[/quote]Perhaps, you need to drop off your high horse and read my response, as it clearly addresses this

Kobojunkie:
This is the only part I will bother broaching at this point since I made myself clear in previous comments on why I prefer to focus on learning what the Law instead says.

Yes, Judicial interpretations can have the force of law. However, as you also hinted at there in the last part of your post, they are not absolute and can be challenged.

Mister, you can pick up the Constitution, an Act of the National Assembly, a Law of a State House of Assembly, or even delegated legislation made by statutory bodies, and you might understand some of the provisions.

But UNDERSTANDING the law is not limited to just reading statutes. You are still straitjacketing your understanding of what “law” truly entails.

Like I said, case law adds flesh to statutes. You can't understand the law if all you do is to read statutes but don't read judicial decisions on how those laws apply

Kobojunkie:
...... Knowing what I know of Nigerian judicial decisions and how they tend to violate/contravene even the Law of the land from time to time, I rather focus m learning what the Law in fact says.

And no, your court decisions are not intended to form part of the Law. Rather, Court decisions are meant to comply with the Law. Otherwise, they violate they are in direct violation of the Law and ought to be done away with. That is why any right minder person should insist on knowing what the Law says before investigating other opinions.

This is such a flawed take. I didn't even understand most of that. And you clearly don't know a lot about the Nigerian legal system.

Again, the court's pronouncements constitute our corpus juris (body of laws). When there's a dispute as to the interpretation of provisions of a legislation (which appears to be the only form of law you know), the court is the avenue to give correct meaning to it. It is their interpretation that adds flesh to legislation

There are rules to statutory interpretation. Sometimes, when the court interprete legislations, you'd be surprised at how the law can be stretched or restricted so that it can be applied to fit the circumstances of a case.

I suppose that's why a layman like yourself can arrogantly state that "judicial decisions violate the law of land".

Let it be known to you today that, whatever authoritative interpretation the courts give to a statute acquires the force of law. The only ways such interpretation will cease its authority is if It's overturned by higher courts (eg Supreme Court overturning the Court of Appeal judgement) or by the same court in future cases (eg Supreme Court reversing its decision on a point of law it had decided in the past) or through legislative amendment (eg when the court interprete a statute, it may expose some weaknesses in that legislation, so it behoves on the legislature to amend that legislation so as to cure that deficiency. Go and read about Amaechi V INEC where the Supreme Court held that votes belong to the candidates and not the party. And in response, the NASS quickly ran to amend the section 141 of the Electoral Act, 2010)

Kobojunkie:
Why not include a image referencing the actual record and section of the law where these ideas are recorded?

The OP cited a landmark case law where the Court of Appeal made the pronouncement. That forms part of our laws and all lower courts must apply it as it is. Laws are not only recorded in statutes. The court's pronouncements(case law) forms part of law too

I take it as his own version of corporate social responsibility (CSR), since most of our companies here hardly believe in CSR at all

Lord knows I love biscuits.

But one pattern I’ve noticed with locally produced biscuits (especially the ones from Yale) is that, whenever they launch a new product, the first few batches come out with good quality. After that, it’s as if the standard falls, and what follows is a watered-down version of the original

DEROX:
Native Americans and red indies have a deep hatred for Democrats let's wait and see

Well, they were, rightfully, saying the same for Latinos. But in recent months, the tide has been moving in a different direction

DEROX:
Democrats can never come back to the white house, the regan legacy lives on

Trump killed the "Reagan legacy". Lol.

Maga would fade away, very likely, after Trump's done with his presidency. And after that, Republicans would have a hard time uniting the party. It's even happening already, low-key with the Tea party-ish , Maga and moderate wings of the party.

Trump's a maverick. No one has been able to and can never replicate him. He's a once in a lifetime politician

God1000:

Excellent move. Other Democratic governors should fight fire for fire.

Republicans favourite line of defence for what's going on in Texas is that, Democrats have always been 'gerrymandering' the New England states.

That’s obviously BS, considering how red all those southern states and midwestern strongholds have become over the past few decades because of aggressive voter suppression and precision redistricting

Quite ironic that a "human rights" lawyer is pursuing legal actions to curtail freedom of expression. The producers have the right to create and broadcast content. The viewers have the right to access and consume entertainment of their choice.

Of course, the public morality argument will always come into play. But morality is not uniform, and in a pluralistic society, the law should not be used to enforce subjective moral standards on everyone.

Section 45 of the Constitution permits limitations on rights for public morality, but such restrictions must be reasonable.
Instead of seeking to silence what they dislike, critics should exercise their own freedom by simply not watching. That’s how rights work

Independent candidacy is really nice. This will force Inec to stop printing only political parties' logos on the ballot paper

This sounds like it was written with chat Gpt, and not his actual thoughts

Easyincome24:
Will you stay or leave, if your examiner sets this type of question?

After proper construction, you'd find that these "instructions" are actually permissions or allowances.

Double0h7:
Why? Why over sell yourself? Why lie about your intentions? Why lie full 🛑!??

This question is vague and completely meaningless.

Is it only men that lie? Is it gender exclusive? Assuming without conceding that ONLY men lie, what is it specifically that men lie about that you're vexed about? Provide some context.

This sweeping generalisation is just detestable.

ARISHEM:
United States that have a state with a land mass as big as Nigeria have about 50 states. Yet Some Nigerians in each of the 36 states including FCT are clamoring for more

"With a landmass as big as Nigeria"?

The US is almost 11 times larger than Nigeria.

Nigeria is barely about the size of Texas, a state in the US.

It's a complete loss of priority to be considering state creation at this point

Buhari had his shortcomings, but he was one heck of a firebrand, and also one of the best , if not the best, retail politician since 1999. It doesn't matter whether you liked him or not, it's a fact

Glimpsetv:
A TikToker recently interviewed three white-looking guys, and what he discovered completely shocked him.

Though fair-skinned, these guys are all Nigerians from the northern region—Kano, to be precise. What’s even more surprising? They speak fluent Hausa!

The interviewer couldn’t believe his eyes.
