litigator:
The thing is that even the court registries are not obeying the court's directives. I learnt that even the Supreme Court's registry no longer accepts old notes of 500 and 1000.

There lies your answer.

Chaaiii.!!





Well.
The scenario you painted is a kind of...
A Person who has lots of powers, but is not using it to its fullest, just because he doesn't realise how enormously powerful he really is.

A supreme court that made a Governor who came 4th a Governor is now all of a sudden Nigerian people's last hope.

This country and her people na just jokes..

These are the same people that had all sorts to say concerning the above judgment oh...

See ehnnn....

If you expect Nigeria of today to be run according to the democratic tenets of real and civilized democracies for a successful end, you'd need to wake up from your sleep.

To repair this country, na person like Buhari wey no go send all those our useless political Alibaba courts go fit fix am.

Courts and judges controlled by the roguish politicians?

Make una dey blow grammar there...

BluntCrazeMan:
I understand this line of argument.

CBN is answerable to the FG, but i[b]t is not a part of the FG[/b].

This defies logic. So what is it part of then? It must surely be part of something or does it exist in its own firmament.

Thus, if the Supreme Court gave orders to the CBN with respect to a case that never had them as any of the respondents, then it became a biigg joke..

If a Landlord serves a quit notice on a father, can the son who lives in the same property insist the notice has nothing to do with him because his name was not mentioned on the notice

A Supreme Court order binds, affects, and must be complied with by all things and persons living, breathing, and existing within the territory of Nigeria. Full stop. No exception.

There is a reason it is called Supreme court

SenatePresdo:
The GRAND COMMANDER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC (GCFR) reigns supreme in Nigeria.

The Supreme court is a mere political Warehouse.

Infact, na mumu dey obey Supreme Court APC

This submission here is definitely not true.



And as you can see..
This topic is not supposed to be infested with biased responses, neither do we need any form of misinformation here.

muykem:
Some of you are just trying to imposed your sentimental views on law. You are raising issue of jurisdiction which will be determined by the same Court during hearing of substantial case. This has nothing to do with obeying interim order.

There is something here.


We all know that the CBN is answerable to the FG, but it is independent of the FG.

In the suit filed against the FG by those states, they didn't include the CBN as part of the defendants.

Thus, they have absolutely nothing to do with that particular suit in question.. Even though they were part of the main reasons the suit existed in the first place.

So, you're saying that the Supreme-Court is very right is issuing orders to them??



Something like,, Mr.-A took Mr.-B to court (say, a high-court) for an issue that concerned them both..
But somehow, the court needed Mr.-C (who never knew anything about the court-case) to stay indoors for one-week, regardless of his personal engagements.

If the Court gives such orders to Mr.-C, while the suit between Mr.-A and Mr.-B continued, is the court doing the right thing?
Should Mr.-C refute such orders (by maybe, trying to appeal in a higher court)??

Talking about the Independence of the CBN,,
The CBN is as Independent as INEC.

If you sue the FG based on the things which INEC did, and you didn't include INEC as part of the defendants, then you really didn't sue INEC.

Same thing with the CBN.
CBN is independent.



..
Then,, talking about the Supreme-Court Order..
I think I understand what you're trying to say.


BUT THEN,, THERE ARE DIFFERING VIEWS ABOUT THAT HERE ON THIS THREAD..

SO,, I NEED TO BE BETTER CONVINCED.

I NEED TO KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, AND NOT BASED ON PERSONAL-OPINIONS AND BIASES..

AfricanColumbus:
Nothing supercedes a presidential executive order. It can only be revoked by the president himself if it is deemed to be grossly unconstitutional.

Presidential executive orders are final.


For the number 3 question, the executive and judiciary are equal, but the head of the executive (president) supercedes all in the land.

What's this? Soo if the supreme court orders the president to vacate office, the president can easily issue an executive order? Which clowns are these? Ha! Supreme court can even remove buhari. The fact that buhari is publicly issued a decree automatically makes him guilty of contempt of court. Omo, the kind of things people say on Nairaland shocks me.

Guess what? Even the FG and CBN didn't make this defense in court. Do you know why? On this matter, the CBN is executing the policy of the federal government. Omo, which kind thing I dey see for Nairaland.

SenatePresdo:

Infact, na mumu dey obey Supreme Court APC

Lol. what's this . The supreme court can order the president, not vice versa. oh God! Nairaland I don laugh tire over these funny opinions. Why didn't the president order APC to remain the winner of Bayelsa's election? chei, I don hear tinz

I see...


Therefore, the Supreme-Court order was for the FG to halt its supposed POLICY,, no matter which Independent Institution is implementing it.


Ok.
it's very clear now.


So,, back to the main topic.
Executive Order??
Or Supreme-Court Order.??

Which One Supercedes?

Leave Nairaland Alone..
We are all learning here.
(That is, for those who are really out to learn from wherever learning is obtainable)

Ok.

Not Even A Supreme-Court Judgement??


Ok.
Noted

Don't mind him.. The supreme Court order supercedes other orders

BluntCrazeMan:
I understand this line of argument.

CBN is answerable to the FG, but it is not a part of the FG.

Thus, if the Supreme Court gave orders to the CBN with respect to a case that never had them as any of the respondents, then it became a biigg joke.
Thus, if the Supreme Court knew what they were doing, they would have issued orders to the FG to direct the CBN,, rather than issuing direct orders to the CBN that was never a party to the case.

This is also my line of thought

AfricanColumbus:



The supreme court should ordinarily not have entertained the case at all. It's now an exercise in futility and a mockery of the judiciary.

if an executive order didn't follow the laid down procedure it can be challenged

BluntCrazeMan:

So,, back to the main topic.
Executive Order??
Or Supreme-Court Order.??

Which One Supercedes?

The supreme court interprets the law, and can only cancel an executive order if it's against the constitution which is the supreme law of the land. That is exactly what is being determined, the legitimacy of the naira withdrawal.

Supreme court does not have jurisdiction over monetary policies.

So if Supreme court rules that one dollar should be equal to one naira, who will obey it?

Digitron:

But that's not what this particular case was all about naaaa...

This case has no similarity with the instance you gave up there

As long as we are under a democratically elected government and the Constitution is not suspended......
Everyone is bounded by the law including Mr President too......
Any matter and anyone can be taken to court, any matter at all...
It is left for the court to decide if the matter is within its jurisdiction to hear or not.
If we say executive order by the President, can the president just wake up one Morning and say, with his executive order he has disolved the Judiciary.....??
That's anarchy looming.

Some people don't know the true meaning of checks and balances in politics and separation of power.

The supreme court as the highest court in the land is the last Bus stop for all cases in the land.

That is why the supreme court has the power to remove the president or call for another election. It happened in Kenya before between Kenyatta and the opposition candidate.

Except in Nigeria ( Buhari vs. Onoghen) i have never seen or heard of any president removing a cj

AfricanColumbus:

Why should the supreme court not have entertained the case and how is it's entertaining the case "an exercise in futility and a mockery of the judiciary"?

press9jatv:
In the first place the Supreme Court of justice shouldn’t have entertain the Elrufai and the clueless loser aggrieved Governor’s suits. APC and Tinubu will be heavily shamed and disgrace in the upcoming presidential poll. February 25th presidential poll is here. Tinubu ti lule piiii piiii. Presidential order supersede joor. APC has been destroyed and it will continue to be destroyed in this nation. You suffered Nigerians for complete 8 years and you are still talking here. You this clueless APC Governor’s that’s not with Buhari on the cbn policies will be highly dealt with. The clueless Elrufai too on which he’s their ring leader in this clueless rants will be the scapegoat of this upcoming election. You think Nigerians are joking niiii. Elrufai will be dealt with for not obeying Buhari order. All your wailing will never hold any water. Tinubu and you guys ti lule piii piii

Very unintelligent answer... Is it Tinubu family members that were killed in Edo yesterday? Did Tinubu put fire in the banks in Delta state? Koboko resets the brain. Your head ought to be flogged in the centre for you to be able to think straight.

In Nigeria, the president is above the law.....

Digitron:

How does the supreme court not have jurisdiction over monetary policies?

Does that exempt it from adjudicating on a case relating to monetary policies?

Are there any matters that the supreme court can't adjudicate on?

AfricanColumbus:

Who deems it unconstitutional? Or let me rephrase, who determines the unconstitutionality of an executive order?

SenatePresdo:

Infact, na mumu dey obey Supreme Court APC

See mumu calling people mumu. Can you show me GCFR in the constitution?

BluntCrazeMan:





Thanks.

Noted..


(Thus, for State Governors in their various states,, similar addresses have overriding state executive powers over the Judiciary too,, I guess??)

There are things that are on the executive list meaning only the Federal Government can make decisions on them, monetary policy is one of them. State governors have no power to declare and decide currency but I guess many of them are waiting for the case to be deicided in the supreme court, the matter should not have been entertained.

The supreme court gave an order that all naira notes should remain legal tender pending the February 20 when it will hear the case. So the governors are acting within the ambit of the law
