Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State got temporary reprieve Friday when a Rivers High Court sitting in Port Harcourt restrained the Peoples Democratic Party from taking any further action against him pending the hearing of a substantive suit challenging his suspension from the party.
The National Working Committee of the PDP suspended Amaechi on Monday citing his refusal to rescind his decision to recall the sacked Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, Mr. Timothy Nsirim, and 17 councillors.
However, the governor, who was consistently maintained that the council heads were sacked by the State Assembly, headed to court to challenge his suspension from the party.
In his ruling, Justice Emmanuel Ogbuji issued a directive stopping the PDP from going beyond Amaechi’s suspension until the matter was heard.

No limit. It all depends on the individual.

Can you marry a ninety eight year old man? or better still can you marry Nelson Mandela now?

@OP a ten year age difference is ok because women tend to mature faster than men especially after child birth when they are nursing a baby. You will thus regret marrying a women close to your age.

papaejima1:
So you can read arabic?
Good for you, me I can't that's why I couldn't spot his name!

Even the Benue State governor can not spell the name of his state.

seunmsg: 1, If this document was prepared yesterday after the election, why was april typed on it instead of may?

2, The governor of Yobe did not participate in d election, how come his name appeared on dat list?

3, The election result was counted and announced by gov. Uduaghan of Delta state. He has not come out to dispute d result he collated and announced. So, what's his name doing on that list?

The truth is, this document was prepared long b4 yesterday. The GEJ/Akpabio camp taught they would win the election based on d signature collated in d document. But unfortunately, some of d govs. Dissapointed them and voted 4 Amaechi.

I can't seem to find the name of the governor of Yobe state on the list. Do you have another list?

jjc-to-nl:

This is their Plan B

Since they cannot win it, then they have to destroy it.

by discrediting the election. dem don fail.

figment232: Its even easier to rig. Amaechi refused to step b4 the election.In fact he literally conducted his own election which was effectively rigged by the Director General of the NGF.This unacceptable

What do you mean by the bolded?

Amaechi’s Acceptance Speech in full

“Today our democracy was tested and proven. Democracy is about participation. The aim of democratic governance is for everyone to partake in winning

Today the governors have spoken with one voice reaffirming our faith in democratic governance as the hope of Nigeria’s future. I must thank my colleagues for their tenacity and determination to ensure the unity of the forum but more importantly of our nation.

We remain committed to supporting our leader, the president and commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr.Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to realize the development dream of all Nigerians by reducing tension, uncertainty and insecurity in our beloved country.

We want to pledge our steadfastness and resolve working alongside Mr. President to better the lives of our people as we render transparent and accountable stewardship.

Finally our thanks go to all those who have patiently endured these times especially our constituents and members of the fourth estate of the realm who have followed these elections with keen interest. We promise that we will not betray the confidence you have reposed in us.

Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, CON

KnowAll: [size=18pt]if the so called Nigerian elites and leaders, the "cream-dela-cream" of our society can rig a simple election involving 36 individuals then we have some serious issues in that country , how then can we ever conduct a free and fair elections involving millions of people[/size]?

The election was not rigged. They were just disappointed that their candidate lost and they are not prepared to accept Amaechi as Chairman.

Congratulations!!! I hope he is man enough to face the consequences.

bobthebuilder99:

People respected and admired him until he wrote that tribal book There Was a Country.

If Nigerians know anything, we know how to spot a common tribalist. That book ruined his reputation here in Naija.

'Tribal' book? have you read the book? What makes the book 'tribal'?

Fairmee: Does it affect the price of garri in Nigeria?

Must it affect the the price of garri. Wetin concern garri with wetin dey ground?

Jamey Maxwell: Me sef don tyre oooh. When will nta be like cnn or bbc?

or even SABC?

Tolexander: Actually, in my own area, the plaudit reason i think causes the act is most times in the night when there is light, and before waking up the following morning, the PHCN might have off the light. Some people always forget to switch off their light before going to their working place, so when the light is restored, the bulbs will be on till they come back to switch them off.

I agree with you also, I also think if you are using a prepaid meter and you are conscious of electricity consumption you will always switch off all electrical appliances when not in use.

We are coming behind as usual. Probably after the rest of Africa.

The bizarre aspect of the police finding was that a 23-year old boy


I don't think a 23-year old is a boy any longer.

vox populi. Good one and also don't ban the use of pidgin english, its our lingua franca.

Adesiji77: UBA Plc is still recruiting experienced hands massively in in the Southwest (dont know about other regions). Just take your cv to their Human Capital Mgt at UBA Regional Office, adjacent Union Bank at Bank Road, Dugbe Ibadan. I think its on second floor. All the best!

What if I live in Warri Delta State?

Seun: Many Muslims don't like rule 17.

Meaning what?

From the SSA on Internet to President Seun of Nairaland Republic. "For those of you who don't like Rule 17, remember, all animals are equal, but some are . . . Well, I don't GIVE A DAMN!!!! Enough is enough! THREAD CLOSED".

Seun: My Fellow Nairaland Members,

Your mixed reaction to the "new" rules have not gone unnoticed. While most people actually liked them, many people had one complaint or the other. To address your concerns, I have modified rule 1,4, 13, 15, and 21. I believe you will be pleased with the changes: https://www.nairaland.com/1026/nairaland-forum-rules-regulations

This rules are not as new as many people think. They are essentially the rules we have been enforcing all along, but they have been expressed in a more compact form to encourage you to actually read them. I created the 1st draft on the 7th of April and my fellow moderators gave me a lot of feedback which I incorporated into the rules before publishing them yesterday.

Rule 17 is the most controversial rule because it sounds unfair. My fellow moderators have debated this rule at length and it could not be changed. We cannot extend the prohibition against offence to other religions because that limits your freedom of speech, and we cannot remove that rule without jeopardizing security and the safety of lives. Sorry about this.

Best regards,
Seun Osewa.

Seun, I didn't want to make a comment until I saw your reaction to Rule 17. Your reaction is VERY DISAPPOINTING. It shows that you are not only a Muslim, but a biased one. Also it shows that your sponsors not "fellow moderators" are biased Muslims. If you don't know what you have just done, consider this. You mean "post anything that could be considered offensive to other religions (Islam excluded), especially in the religions section. It means if I post anything offensive against other religions I will not not be banned, but if I post anything offensive about Islam I will be banned. If you don't know how to re-phrase Rule 17, let me do it for you.
RULE 17 RE-PHRASED
Don't post anything that could be considered offensive to any religion, especially in the Religion section.

@ all let us all try to relax (I know its not easy, especially the managers and those who have invested heavily) and get to see how the new rules will be like. As H-don advised earlier on it will be for the better. The only thing is that we can't sell the biz for now and even if you want to sell you don't know how to sell. Lets try to relax.

@daroconcepts OATT is Oga At The Top - I know say nobi dat one dey do you now. lol

Ptars: I really enjoyed dis topic took up a loan,only for me to hear just now that marker is now $50. Can some1 pls confirm it for me cos if it's @ dat rate then i cant pay my debt as agreed. Pls, i need a quick response thank u

I think it depends on the type of marker you are paying for. Some markers cost more from what I'm made to understand. Like the 3-in-1 markers. If that is the one you are going for, its not not $30 but $50.

Plus largent: bro, u'ev taken the dive into the deep blue all you can do now is pray the sharks stay at bay till you get safely to the other side....hope u get my drift.

So lets wait till 2morrow they will have finished the maintenance.

Plus largent: *Smiling in Russian* @ Daroseconcepts: your comment reminds me of that vintage saying "every man wan go heaven but no one wan dead". (skulface)No be you wan earn dollars?

Plus largent, we are all in this business together. We all want to earn dollars.
