Eligibility For 2015: S-court Dismisses Suit Against Jonathan

-
Eligibility For 2015: S-court Dismisses Suit Against Jonathan ABUJA-The Supreme Court, Tuesday, dismissed the suit seeking to stop President Goodluck Jonathan from vying for a re-election next year. A five-man panel of Justices of the apex court presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, struck out the appeal which was filed before it by a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Adamawa State, Dr. Umar Ardo. Delivering the ruling, the CJN, accused Ardo of inviting the Supreme Court to arrest a proceeding pending before the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal. He noted that the substantive suit challenging Jonathan’s eligibility is currently before the appellate court, stressing that Ardo lacked the locus-standi to move the apex court to either take over hearing on the matter or compel the appeal court to join him as an interested party...

Stop using and dumping PDP members, Mu’azu threatens Jonathan

-
The National Chairman of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has told President Goodluck Jonathan to stop using and dumping members of the party. He said the idea of someone working for the party and others reaping the fruits must stop. Mu’azu spoke in Abuja on Tuesday at the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the party, which was attended by President Goodluck Jonathan. The campaign is being headed by a former Chairman of the party, Senator Amodu Ali. Mu’azu said it was injustices like this that were making members of the party to defect to the opposition political parties.

Misconception about hijab

-
Image
At the genesis of the hijab discussion, the Quran commands men to not stare at women and to not be promiscuous. The Quran 24:31 obliges men to observe modesty: “Say to the believing men that they restrain their eyes and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Surely, Allah is well aware of what they do.” This verse rebukes forced laws on women that claim “women must cover otherwise men are distracted”. It demolishes complaints that what a woman is wearing is “too provocative”, whatever that means, because it flat out forbids men from gawking at women. When addressing hijab, the Quran does not address women first. It addresses men first. That’s not a typo. Islam places the primary responsibility of observing hijab not on women – but on men. It’s critical to understand this point. One day, Prophet Muhammed rode with his companion Al Fadl bin Abbas. A woman described as strikingly beautiful approached the Prophet to seek his guidance on some religious matters. Al Fadl bega...

Businessman and front line politician, Mr Gbenga Olawepo Hashim has declared that with collective steadfastness, Nigeria will surely emerge from the socio-economic challenges strongrt. He made this remark at a public lecture delivered at the Post Graduate College, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife Osun State. Mr Hashim stated that, an agenda for all round national development is clearly possible not just for the development of the nation but for a transformation for generations yet unborn. At the event chaired by the University’s vice-chancellor, Professor Eyitope Ogunbodede, Hashim agreed that though slight progress has been made since the advent of democracy in Nigeria between 1999-2015, the nation still remains “underdeveloped” by regular classification. “With 62 percent of the population living below $2 a day and considered poor, with life expectancy of 51 years, and over 40% illiterate population, bedeviled with a parlous infrastructure such as poor electricity distrib...

BEYOND THE YAHOO YAHOO ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN

BEYOND THE YAHOO YAHOO ENDORSEMENT OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN GASKIYA TAFI KOBO (TRUTH IS BETTER THAN CASH) I heard that the National Working Committee of the people democratic party (PDP) have undemocratically endorsed president Goodluck Jonathan for a second term, but we must note that, this is not what the people of Nigeria wants. It is against our will to continue with luck without hard work. Despite giving Nigerians pain and agony, exposing our lives to massive poverty and unparalleled insecurity, those who claimed to represent the people in PDP went ahead to endorse the man who is leading Nigeria astray. Let me state that, this purported endorsement of Mr.Jonathan can only hold in the houses of those who claimed to have made the endorsement, Nigerians would never fall in line to such an inhuman endorsement. The endorsement was without any consultation with the people they claim to represent,because if they inform the people what they are about to do on their behave...
