Ok then! Timi Frank and his cohorts can wait forever! Prof. Osinbajo playing with their heads. Person wey pass u pass u. We all knew everything Atiku embezzled as vp, immunity not only covered him, some fools were ready to make him president. PYO knows that his immunity can't be waived yet he stated how far he can go to prove his innocence, yet some fools still want to hold him to ransom for saying that. If ure a very religious man accused of stealing and u are told to swear that I'm innocent in presence of babalawo and his deity, would u tell babalawo ur religious immunity covers u, so u won't swear? People will stone u instantly cos they'll believe u are guilty. And then if on the verge of swearing the god u serve strikes babalawo and his shrine, then that's religious divine judgement. The same thing is applied to this case! Only the wise will digest and ponder over this simple analogy. undecided angry wink

Trash talk

Go and read on rights and privileges.. Immunity is a privilege, its something that someone is lucky to have, but can do without it..

A privilege is given me to fly with the President
Are you telling me that i cannot waive it and proceed to journey by road ?
You're busy speaking English when someone quoted multiple Supreme court cases that unequivocally ruled that immunity cannot be waived.

And by legal precedents, Osibanjo cannot waive his immunity as long as he is VP.

When illiterates or semi literates are talking everyone knows.

This type is always at the Bustop by the corner of his street arguing amongst Newspaper Readers Association Of Nigeria.

Otherwise how can someone be using his village experience to refute what is in the constitution?


Awon enlightened one...
Which part of the constitution is it stated ?
Yeye dey smell.
Its Judicial Precedent... And if Osibanjo can distinguish his care from the aforestated cases and show that his scenerio is different, then he could get a diff judgement...

Was it not the courts that ruled in the US that same sex marriage is not allowed ? Was it not the same courts that ruled to allow it ?

In case you know,Judicial Precedents are not set in stones, they are amenable, either by distinguishing or by new circumstances...

Its the courts that will determine if he could waive it or not depending on his case

You need the constitution to be amended before multiple legal precedents on the same issue can be invalidated.

And in your analogy on same sex marriage in the US, I hope you realized that the definition of marriage by the law had to change before that could be legal?

Its called interpretation.
Unles the law states categorically that the person to whom immunity is bestowed cannot waive it, the duty will always be on the court to give interpretation as to whether a person can waive it or not... It is untill the law is changed to block that loophole, before we can all say that it is impossible

All these half baked Affidavit leaders. he doesn't know he can't waive it? what did they teach him in law school sef. I am beginning to question his certificate. Buhari and Osinbajo cert is questionable, no wonder a Cameroonian wants to rule Nigeria

Can you listen to yourself?

Osinbajo is a SENIOR ADVOCATE OF NIGERIA. That’s the highest rank any lawyer can achieve in Nigeria.

Osinbajo is a Professor. The highest academic title less Emeritus.

You don’t have a right to question his pedigree.

Are you saying that legal precedents are useless?

Dont put words in my mouth.. I am telling you that they are subject to change...
Even codified laws are subject to change, how much more Jificial precedents, which is reliant on either a single judge or a bench of 7justices

Osibanjo is a foo.lish for wanting to waive his immunity. The cabals do not give a fvck about his ranting. All they want is to remove him.

Buhari has been committing impeachable offence, didn't the cabals give a deaf ear to him?

I laugh at those that Muslim/Muslim ticket won't work when they finally remove Osibanjo. Buhari/Abba Kyari don't know law.
You try but you're not bright

The Prof. Should have known of this based on the case stated as precedence. I'm sure he was the then AG of Lagos State.

Exactly! Probably, plans to step aside or claim a superior argument. He's a SAN and seems to know his onions
Re: As Vice President You Can’t Waive Your Immunity, Lawyer Tells Osinbajo by TeeMoney99: 5:51am On Sep 27, 2019
I doubt if you all read the article. The lawyer said Osinbajo can sue for libel and that's exactly what he will do.
Re: As Vice President You Can’t Waive Your Immunity, Lawyer Tells Osinbajo by OC831: 6:18am On Sep 27, 2019
And anonymous lawyer doesn’t think he knows that?? Lawyer telling a Prof of Law and a SAN what he can waive?? His sentence signifies his readiness to do it if it comes to that. Which would mean he’s willing to resign to get tried, Nigerians and half comprehension LOL
Re: As Vice President You Can’t Waive Your Immunity, Lawyer Tells Osinbajo by Emmasnoop(m): 6:49am On Sep 27, 2019

Sorry to say this, only loosers talk in this manner.
You can regurgitate all you want, nobody will begrudge a grieving child!

Osunbande is a thief, well he's a pastor anyway (they are all thieves), and he has fallen into a trap set for him long ago by his boss, THE CABAL

Imagine osunbande bragging he would shed his immunity if need be for an investigation to commence, but he was only regurgitating for zombies to lap up as usual
