Lol . The Supreme Court has proven times without number to be partisan and political . When people carry out jungle justice ,it is because they don’t trust the justice system . It is only a matter of time for full disregard for the rule of law to be in place. They too should feel powerless and useless . Although Emefiele na werey . But again that is the monster they all created

lexy2014:


How does all you typed justify the suffering as a result of naira scarcity,?

Am not trying to justify anything , am simply pointing out the hypocrisy of everyone in this country , including myself ..

The cbn is tell d commercial backs wat to do

IamAsiri:


I actually meant CBN, not commercial banks.

Story, as if the Supreme Courts judges are not human beings like him and part of the Nigerian system, we have heard cases handled by them and has mixed reactions to the public, we are all in this suffering together, if we need to make this sacrifice let's all do it once and for all

lexy2014:


How did you arrive at the conclusions above? Do you have anywhere in the constitution to support your claims?

Pls what is a court and what is the role of the judiciary? Don't check Google.

How does the CBN having the sole responsibility of governing the monetary and fiscal policies of Nigeria exempt it from obeying supreme court decisions?

What is the sense in this statement below:

"The supreme court is not a financial institution and knows nothing about monetary policies"

The CBN could not have been a party to a suit brought before the Supreme Court in its original jurisdiction.

In its original jurisdiction, the Supreme Court only contemplates suits between:

1. States of the Federation and the Federal Government (or Federation) :

2. One or more states of the Federation against another state or other states of the and a state of the Federation (or states of the Federation;

3. The Federal or State Governments and any of (or both) the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament.

There is no room for agencies, ministries and/or parastatals of Government as they are all considered agents of the Federal Government whose presence is unnecessary for a suit in which the Federal Government (or Federation) is in itself a party. These other bodies can only come before the Supreme Court when it is exercising its appellate jurisdiction.

The judiciary in all fairness has been the sanest of the three arms of Government so far as it has not allowed its reasoning to be clouded by sentiments.

The order from the Supreme Court in this suit binds the CBN as if it were a party to the suit since its Principal has been restrained (with the subject matter of the order clearly defined). The CBN is thus bound to comply with the order (whether valid or not) until it is set-aside (for lack of jurisdiction etc).

It is disheartening that the CBN has confirmed in its statement what we had all secretly suspected; that it would disregard an order of the Supreme Court.

I expect their Lordships to address this issue of disobedience tomorrow.

In any event, the order lapses tomorrow and the Supreme Court has several options open to it.

It may;

1. Order parties to file all necessary counter-affidavits and replies (to the FG's Preliminary objection and the Plaintiffs' Originating Summons and Motion for interlocutory injunction) for adoption and a composite ruling/judgment on the next adjourned date; one which will definitely be after the general elections. In this case, parties will also be directed to maintain status quo until said date.

2. Hear the FG's preliminary objection on the ground that any questions as to its jurisdiction must be answered first before it proceeds to the motion for interlocutory injunction and the originating summons. Upon hearing parties on the issue of jurisdiction, it may reserve its decision on the matter until after the general elections with an order for parties to maintain status quo.

3. Hear and determine the FG's preliminary objection one way or the other. If it finds that it has jurisdiction, the scenario in 1 plays out (sans the Preliminary Objection) and the matter may be adjourned until after the general elections with an order for parties to maintain status quo. If it however finds that it lacks jurisdiction to entertain the matter, the suit will be struck out (or more likely dismissed even if it has not been heard on the merits in order to underscore the finality of the decisions of the Supreme Court) with heavy costs against the Plaintiffs.


Either way, the Supreme Court is not final because it is infallible, it is infallible because it is final.

We should all try to maintain the sanctity of our judiciary because it is the only institution standing between us and total anarchy.

Since this government came to power which court order have they ever obeyed

This is the most lawless govt ever in the history of this Nation them and bandit no difference.

It amazes me o!
And the same emefiele ran to court for protection when DSS came knocking

Now you're "amazed"?!

When I was educating you last week, you were ranting as though you're the IGP.

Oya, go and order Emefiele's arrest. Emefiele meets Buhari face-to-face to receive fresh instructions. If Buhari wants, he will dust the CJN's file, and tomorrow, the Supreme Court will dismiss every noisome filings by the irascible governors.

Is this meant for me or for someone else? Pls check my post again. Am sure you got the wrong person

what about transfers?

RotimiBliss:


But are people going to starve to death when they can't access new notes?

I'm actually corroborating your earlier comment (which was in turn, a response to someone else).

Karemarealty288:


Every orphan has origin....

Then tell him is origin because he opened his eyes knowing Mrs Abibatu Mogaji only as his life.Why dont you read his history.People believe that he is originally from Osun because that is what is out there which can be true or otherwise but nobody can really prove it.
As a baby who didnt know anything except Mrs Mogaji,he might have made some moves too to find out his origin but only God knows the truth.
What he knows specifically is that he is from Lagos according to his ties to Abibatu Mogaji.

Goke7:


that's why we need restructuring, a Nigerian President with bad intentions is too powerful and dangerous for democracy in Nigeria to thrive. That's why it's difficult getting Buhari to think otherwise. The powers of the Nigerian President need to be reduced through restructuring.

Nigeria needs to be decentralised to give more powers to states or regions

Absolutely.
Glad that Nigerians are finally waking up and maturing to the truth about democracy and the fact about Nigeria's.
Time that we all came to the realisation that chasing after individuals in the process of installing leaders is not the A-Z of democracy.
And that the history of Nigeria necessitates we prepare the ground before we plant the seeds if we desire to see a harvest.
We need to restructure Nigeria or elections and our democracy will remain barren activities.

rickleye:
CBN is establishing a terrible precedent.
Obey the SUPREME court order but file an appeal against the ruling.
This is madness !
At this point, I would rather have Tinubu win so that he can sack and jail the CBN governor & repeal this stupid deadline.

which joke of a supreme court are you talking about? Is it Same supreme court that stole Machina's legitimate mandate to contest as Yobe Senator and shamelessly handed it to the corrupt Lawan? Make una dey play.

This is one defiance I support wholeheartedly. Anybody and anyone gearing up to monetarily influence voters and steal the election should be stopped with any policy at disposal. Nigerians are not suffering as painted by the Media, I'm not suffering and I support this.

AtikuOkowa:


Lets see who has Law enfocers between Executive and Judisilly

I dare you to not obey FGN,if yout mom born you with marriage please

And we will Obey CBN

I know you're Igbo, because you have no single regard for your mother. So insulting another person's mum is not a taboo to you guys.. Bloody nonsense!!!

samonak:
Those cowards in the NASS should as a matter of national security get off their balls and institute Impeachment proceedings against Buhari before the entire country goes up in flames. Buhari's blatant disregard for the rule of law needs to checked with immediate alacrity. Dem need treat him fvck up, this impunity is becoming something else.

But yesterday (2019) we were cheering the removal of the last assembly that had the desire to stand up to the Executive in preference of one that 'will work for/with the President', preferring 'cooperation' over 'confrontation' and thus deactivating the airbags in our vehicle as we sped recklessly along the highway of democracy without the seatbelt of a harassed and discredited Judiciary.

Now, can we see why citizens of other nations ensure the independence of their Judiciary and fight to have their representatives represent them and no other interests.

We will learn the workings of this democracy thing by the force of suffering.
That is sure.

Lol aint apc neither pdp or Obi that lost all track in anabram but wanna suddenly be the savior of Nigeria we are not dumb, politics is beyond online wailers who are dot in the nation like they call you guys

PointZerom:


Is he not the only savior again
Allow him to save Yarimo and Madridguy in peace biko

Supreme Court is very corrupt. Justice is bought with great impunity

Baddosqqi:


I know you're Igbo, because you have no single regard for your mother. So insulting another person's mum is not a taboo to you guys.. Bloody nonsense!!!

I think smart,honest,patriotic and free are synonyms to word Igbo

So I am Igbo,and all good people of Nigeria are Igbos

Our government too is Igbo,because she does the right thing

CBN too is Igbo

That is the typical Nigerian for you. When he sees people stronger than him, he remembers the rule of law. But let him have power and same person will see himself above the law.

His tenure ends next month and after that, when his travails start, he would remember there is God and there is rule of the law.

Supremre court has no powers Wait na law you dey quote and na quote you dey law See If CBN releases N100billion of the new note, this drug lord will get 60% of it if not more that's to show you how powerful he is, he is more powerful than the president. If election hold for the president family, his wife and children may likely vote for this your drug lord, He is so rich that he can decide to spend dollars on that election day knowing fully well that una go sell una papa for money we are talking about money here, on election day una go sell Obi and Peter together...una wey una delegate failed to support your presidency and sold their slot to Atiku we dey wait ...on election day you will succumb to the business part of he election let's wait and see

Your drug lord presidential candidate will not see shishi to buy votes.

CBN didn’t disobey any court order as they were not a party to the case.

Since you deem the supreme court as infallible cos its final, then please carry your old naira notes to Ariwoola and have him change them to new notes for you.

How can anyone take the current supreme court seriously, when they award candidacy to those that never contested in the primaries. They themselves ignore the very law that they are meant to interprete and uphold.

A politicized supreme court that tries to arrogate to itself the powers of the executive, is no longer standing between us and anarchy, but standing behind and pushing us into anarchy.

So na today lawyer Falana know that Nigeria is a Banana Republic? I pity the learned hypocrite. The Supreme Court has bastardized its honour as a result, no one respects it any longer even mad men are respected in Nigeria today more than the corrupt and buying and selling supreme court of Nigeria

As he said that or what you read just like we also read it.
There has never been anything concrete about his ties with all these people.They might be his family but it has not been proven.
The only proven fact is that he is an orphan.

Am with the cbn and the federal government on this, where were the supreme Court when kerosine that was 50 naira per litter turn to 1000 naira per litter, where were the supreme Court when naira collapsed to Dollar to the tune of almost a 1000 naira to one dollar.where was the supreme Court when the cbn made policy that charge the poor Nigerian 26 naira plus for each transfer.supreme court abag dey your dey make we suffer our suffer in peace oh

Lol now I know u are uzobo uzubo urchins. 3weeks from now ya all will be in all your unknown gunmen state where you sit at home like prisoners.

CBN may have a legal right to do what they did but they don't have the moral right. The body language of the majority determines were the pendulum swings to. This is democracy for crying loud.

Emefiele is a 419. He has obtained people's money with the false impression of giving them new notes when he knows that he does not have enough of the new notes to give. This is 419. He should be arrested and charged to court for this.

Emefiele is also a murderer. His naira swap policy has led to the dead of some patient in hospitals. He should also be arrested for this.

Emefiele is a Saboteur. He has crippled the economy by causing artificial scarcity of naira in the guise of the policy he brought.

Emefiele is wicked and heartless.

How can he insist you can't spend the old notes when the new notes are not available.

Cursed be anyone who supports him in this unjust policy that has thrown the country into further hardship.

Our mumu don do.

I am quite surprised at the hypocrisy of a lot of youth here on NL and beyond, clapping for the CBN Governor for his blatant disregard for the rule of the Supreme court. But the same youth would readily knock Buhari for doing same. Is this how we want to have a "better Nigeria"? We seem to lose our senses and act all hypocritical when it comes to politics, most especially, political positions in favour of our candidate(s).
