“Stop looking for who to blame for your failure”, INEC tells Peter Obi

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday during a court proceeding lambasted the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, for accusing the Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, of evading the service of a witness summon on him. INEC, through its lawyer, Mr. Kemi Pinhero, SAN, accused Obi of always looking for who to blame for his failure in the presidential election. INEC Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu Peter Obi, who accused the 2023 presidential election of being rigged, secured a subpoena through his legal team led by Dr. Livy Uzoukwu, SAN, to force the INEC Chairman to appear before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja. Insisting that he wants the INEC boss to not only testify before the court as a witness but to equally produce and tender in evidence, some sensitive materials that were used for the conduct of the presidential election. While lamenting the inability of his client to effect service of the summon of Prof. Yakubu, Obi’s lead counsel, Dr. Uzoukwu, SAN, said: “My lords, I thought that by now, we would have been through with the stage of tendering of documents. “I have drawn the attention of the lead counsel to the INEC, Mr. Abubakar Mahmood, SAN, that the office of the Chairman of the Commission has consistently refused to accept subpoena to produce certain documents, inspite of efforts of Bailiffs of this court. “The counsel graciously asked me to give him a copy of the subpoena but I didn’t have an extra copy to give to him, so, he asked me to give it to any member of his team. “My lords, because I still do not have an extra copy, I intend to get it and send to him once the proceeding of today is over. “I am confident that he will do the needful for us to continue our case tomorrow,” he added. Kemi Pinhero, SAN while accusing Obi of always looking for who to blame for his failure said: “My lords should take note that it has become a habit for the Petitioners, that whenever they want to seek for an adjournment, they must look for someone to blame. “I was not privy to any discussion they had with our team leader because all the discussions have been open to members of our group. “However, it cannot be true that the Chairman of INEC refused to receive the subpoena. In PDP’s case, subpoenas were served, not only on the Chairman but also on some National Commissioners. “My lords should equally note that all the avalanche of documents they have tendered so far, some of them were certified as far back as in March. Mr Peter Obi “Yet, everytime, they keep complaining that INEC refused to release documents to them. “The submission that INEC refused to give documents to them, with due respect to the learned counsel, is not true. “If they want to ask for an adjournment, they should do so and not attempt to use the INEC as weeping board. “I want to say it for the records that it is not correct that INEC Chairman refused to receive subpoena. “The Chairman of INEC has no interest whatsoever. This allegation against him is most uncharitable,” Pinhero, SAN, added. Though counsel for the Petitioners, Uzoukwu, SAN, maintained his position and urged the court to verify from its Bailiffs, if the INEC Chairman did not refuse service of the subpoena, however, Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member panel, urged restraint from both parties. “There is no need to quarrel over this issue. If subpoena was refused, counsel knows what to do. “We should remember that after this case, we will still see each other in court. “So, let us not allow issues like this to destroy bonds of friendship,” Chairman of the panel, Justice Tsammani cautioned the senior lawyers. Following a no objection stance by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, who appeared for President Tinubu, as well as by counsel for the APC, Mr. Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, the court adjourned further hearing on the matter till Thursday.

Stop cooking and I will give you N1 million

A Nigerian businessman has promised to give N1 million cash to chef Dammy N1 million if she immediately calls off her ongoing cookathon. He made this promise following the heavy backlash that the chef has been facing since she started cooking in Oye, Ekiti state. According to the businessman, he has no problem with Chef Dammy’s decision to cook for 120 hours, but he only believes it is too early since Hilda Baci has just finished hers. He added that it would have been better for Chef Dammy to wait for Hilda to get her record certified by the Guinness World Records before kick-starting hers. @OhhhhMyJosh reacted: “Una wey get money too rude.” @amudaDewale added: “Another clout chaser jumping on the trend. Sets a camera and pretends to work out lmao. Some things are just silly acts. Go rest.” Watch the video below: Chef Dammy who is on the quest to break Hilda Baci’s longest hours of cooking set at 100-hours continues to wax stronger amidst backlash and the sleepless nights. In a tweet via her official page, Damilola called for support and prayers from her well-meaning Nigerians as the task gets more difficult by the hour. “Happy Sunday people, don’t forget to pray for Chef Dammy🙏,” the post on her page read.

“Money shouldn’t stop you from getting married” – Solomon Buchi advices men

“Money shouldn’t stop you from getting married” – Solomon Buchi advices single men

Solomon Buchi, a controversial media personality, recently expressed his opinion on Twitter that unmarried men do not need to consider their financial stability before getting married. He shared the story of his younger sister who married at the age of 22 to a man who had a good job but lost it six months later due to the impact of COVID-19.

Media personality, Solomon Buchi
Photo Credit: Solomon Buchi Source: Twitter Solomon argues that marriage thrives on understanding, contentment, and mutual support, regardless of financial circumstances. He wrote: “My kid sis got married at 22 to my friend, 25. He was working with a top oil company; doing absolutely well for himself. Six months into marriage, he was laid off because of COVID. I know a lot of men want to have strong financial base to get married, but that’s not what you need. What you need is a partner that understands the reality that you can lose everything, and they need to be there for you. Marriage thrives on understanding and contentment—come what may, both of you will hold it together. That’s the real control and security you can have. Men, money shouldn’t stop you from getting married. It shouldn’t. I understand the societal pressure, but there’s no guarantee that all the riches you want to build can’t fly away. Life happens, and you need a woman who will embrace you when life happens. I bet that if my in-law foresaw that he’d have lost his job 6 months into marriage, he most likely wouldn’t have gotten married, till last year that he was called back. Don’t let the aspiration to have money stacked up somewhere stop you from getting married. If you have a job, accommodation & food, you can get married. It will be better if your partner also has income flow too. Stop waiting to have your house/be a millionaire before you marry. I wanted to have my house before marriage, guess who’s married & doesn’t have a house yet? “I dare say that many couples spend less than singles because there’s a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork, and accountability. My younger sister once told me that I spent more money as a single man than they spent as a family, it made me illuminated my mind. Marriage can be economical, especially when children aren’t involved, and when you cut your coat according to your cloth. It’s really not that deep. Most of our parents had only accommodation and food when they got married, and they grew with time. “Before my wedding, I brooded over the financial cost that comes with marriage, and I shared with my friend cum brother-in-law and told me that I can’t control everything, and I should just get married & face life with my wife. That’s what I’d have done as a single man, anyway. It’s a highly consumerist world, but you still tailor everything to your budget. Wed on a weekday, invite a few friends, rent the wedding dress, get a photographer friend to help you, you don’t need an exotic honeymoon immediately. Please save some money for life in marriage. “If your family complains, tell them you’re working with a budget, and if they want it bigger, they can sponsor it. Simple. Men, you don’t need the world to marry. Marry a reasonable woman; start small, never stay lazy. If you know your stuff, you will save more more in marriage. “Financial stability for marriage is having a source of income that can feed, house and clothe you; as long as it’s legitimate work. This is the sign you need to make that bold step, unless you’re generally not ready for marriage, but if it’s about finances, go and marry!” See the post below:

Seun Kuti’s lawyer tackles police, ask them to stop keeping his case file

Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, afrobeat star Seun Kuti’s lawyer has accused the police of holding on to his case file and refusing to obey a magistrate who ordered that it be sent to the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. Fusika who accused the police of parading his client at every police station in the state, said they are waiting for him to be charged so they can offer his defence.

Trending:Another Nigerian lady set to break Guinness World Record as she begins counting of rice grains (Video) The lawyer said in a statement; “Mr Kuti submitted himself to the police so that he can go answer in court for the allegation of assaulting a policeman. It is the police who, rather than taking this simple and straightforward step, have decided to create a circus and make a ‘national emergency’ of the matter. “Now that Mr Kuti has been put in manacles and taken on parade from one police station to another and from one location to the other across Lagos State since Monday, May 15, when exactly is he going to be charged for, as you put it in your statement, ‘attacking and slapping a police officer in uniform?’ “That should not be too much for a suspect to expect. I do hope that Lough as a lawyer and indeed a Senior Advocate of Nigeria counselling the police on this matter will obey the order of the magistrate’s court to send the case file to the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions for legal evaluation and possible charge and prosecution before a court of law.”

Semen donor ordered by court to stop after fathering 550 children

A Dutch court orders a sperm donor, Jonathan M. who is suspected of being the biological father of over 550 children to cease all further donations. This recent fertility scandal has caused shockwaves throughout the Netherlands, prompting a foundation dedicated to protecting the rights of donor children and the mother of one of the alleged offspring to take legal action against him.

Although Dutch clinical guidelines state that a donor should not father more than 25 children within 12 families, the judges found that Jonathan had contributed to the creation of approximately 550 to 600 children since he began donating sperm in 2007. Judge Thera Hesselink said on Friday, therefore, “prohibits the defendant from donating his semen to new prospective parents after the issuing of this judgement.” “With the wish that he was willing to donate semen… advertise his services to prospective parents or join any organisation that establishes contact between prospective parents.” “Should he continue with his donations, he would face a 100,000-euro ($110,000) fine for every transgression, as well as additional fines,” the court ruled. Eva, the mother of one of the children involved in the court case, expressed gratitude towards the court for halting the man’s mass sperm donation. “Mass donations have spread like wildfire to other countries. I’m asking the donor to respect our interests and to accept the verdict because our children deserve to be left alone,” she said in a statement.

“Use deodorants and stop smelling like goats”

Nollywood actor and producer Frederick Leonard has dragged movie crew who have an unpleasant smell on their bodies. The actor’s comment came after his colleague, Victor Okpalan took to his Instagram page to complain about how some of the movie crew come on set smelling like “rat poison”.

In agreement, Frederick Leonard took to the comment section and dragged the movie crew members who don’t keep themselves well but have an unpleasant smell on their bodies. According to him, anyone with a functioning brain will make it a point to use a deodorant especially when they know they work with people for long periods of hours. He wrote, “Any Human being That Has A FUNCTIONING BRAIN 🧠 Wether Cast or Crew, should Use Deodorants. And touch up Again by 5. pm so you don’t begin to smell like rotten Goat 🙄 For a Profession that requires that we are Constantly on our Feet for a minimum of 14 hours, COMMON SENSE SHOULD APPLY.. And Let’s not Forget Mint or Gum to Fight Mouth Odor. Thank You.”

Court cases won’t stop President Buhari to hand over to Bola Tinubu

The Federal Government says that despite the court petitions filed by the Labour Party, it won’t stop President Buhari to hand over power to Tinubu.

The presidential candidates for the opposition parties have sued the All Progressive Congress (APC) and INEC over alleged rigging of the elections. “On May 29th, there would be a peaceful formal transfer of power to the new President,” Boss Mustapha, chairman of the transition committee, has said. Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the presidential candidate for APC, Bola Tinubu with a total of 8,794,726 whereas his other rivals and candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, polled 6,984, 520 and 6,101,533 respectively.

The chairman of the transition committee, Mustapha told journalists, “all litigation, whether resolved or not, will not in any way stop the process”. He added that Buhari will not stay beyond the time allowed by the constitution. “The security committee has the responsibility to ensure that nothing happens to truncate the transition process. Nigerians are very law-abiding people”. “There are provided avenues for those” who lost in the election “to make whatever legal inquiry they want to make but the process would continue unabated”. We would not create another constitutional crisis; on May 29, the handing over will take place,” he assured.
