He was accused of owing nearly €3.3m in undeclared image rights revenue for 2011 and 2012, when he was Real Madrid manager – an allegation he disputed.

Saraki is not fit for Nigerian president – APC tells Nigerians  September 5, 2018 The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, is unfit to lead Nigeria. Yekini Nabena, APC National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Wednesday. He noted that while every Nigerian has the right to run for any office, there are many issues that border on such person’s integrity, antecedents, competence and capability to preside over the affairs of the country. Nabena stated that APC was aware that Saraki’s presidential declaration was a tactic to deflect attention from the deluge of issues he deals with, particularly ahead of the 2019 General Elections. He said pressure to reconvene the National Assembly, a fast-shifting political order in Kwara State, among others were a few examples. Nabena wrote: “By virtue of Saraki’s antecedents, he is an abysmal failure and is totally incompetent to offer himself as a...

Amid threats to national security there remains national interest in rule of law ON SEPTEMBER 5, 201810:00 NEWS , VIEWPOINT COMMENTS By Tani A. Molajo, SAN The title of this commentary is inspired by the sanguine affirmation made by Lord Atkin over 70 years ago in his dissenting judgment in Liversidge v. Sir John Anderson & another (1942) AC 266 @ 244, to wit: Rule of law “In this country, amid the clash of arms, the laws are not silent. They may be changed but they speak the same language in war as in peace. It has always been one of the pillars of freedom, one of the principles of liberty for which on recent authority we are now fighting, that judges are no respecter of persons and stand between the subject and any attempted encroachments on his liberty by the Executive, alert to see that coercive action is justified IN LAW” Though rendered by an English Court (the House of Lords), that judgment remains of profound Nigerian – nay, universal importance.

Proponents say the law, which has prompted vigorous debate, will reduce distraction in the classroom, combat bullying, and encourage children to be more physically active during recess. “I think it’...

They also encourage youth to get involved and developed the culture of writing. they article: FRIENDSHIP AND MARRIAGE*   _(A brief pointer)_ It is an anomaly that someone gets married and after some months, a divorce results. Friends! MARRIAGE  SHOULD STEM FROM FRIENDSHIP!!! One should not marry who he/she doesn't know; who he/she hasn't aligned with; little wonder the ill stories of breakup/ divorce. Also, money/wealth/affluence are so nice and wonderful, but can it stop being a major basis of today's marriage? A man must not be so wealthy to a fault before you accept him for marriage as a lady. It's even in marriage that fruitfulness and blossom can "spring forth'' because "...he that findeth...

*Shehu Saddam Malam Madori* writes on Facebook A. B Mahmoud and 2.1 I must state without any equivocation that I was more disappointed than surprised at the statement of the President of the Nigerian Bar that there is a need to raise the standard of the legal profession by admitting only students that make a 2.1 into the Nigerian Law School. I think the President has lost touch with the reality of the Nigerian situation and has infact disappointed many that believed his brave new bar agenda just over a year ago. If that statement is indeed a result of his genuine concerns regarding the decline in the quality of legal profession, then the statement or suggestion as the case may be is out of place. The President should call for a holistic and foundational reforms in legal education, from the point of entry, to the quality of lecturers, to the upliftment of infrastructure in Nigerian Universities, to fighting corruption in the Universities, combating sexual harassment down to the prote...
