Jurisdiction, Abuja (2026)

04/01/2026

It’s not lost on me that the U.S. approach sets a troubling and distasteful precedent. Selective enforcement, double standards, and power politics have long undermined the credibility of the so-called "rules-based order," & pointing that out is entirely fair.

That said, acknowledging this does not require pretending that Maduro is a legitimate or benign leader. He has systematically oppressed his population, hollowed out democratic institutions, and been credibly accused of manipulating electoral processes to entrench himself in power. Calling that out is not an endorsement of neocolonialism; it is a recognition of political reality.

The same uncomfortable truth applies elsewhere, Nigeria included, where the state has been complicit, or at best willfully negligent, in the face of terror and mass suffering, while political elites focus on looting public wealth rather than protecting citizens. Sovereignty loses much of its moral force when it is used as a shield for predation.

Every dictatorship has an expiration date—whether Maduro, Charles Taylor, Saddam Hussein, or eventually others still in power. The real issue here is not whether authoritarian rule should end, but how. The U.S. action is legally problematic precisely because it lacked UN Security Council authorization and even clear domestic congressional approval. Had it been sanctioned multilaterally, I would have no qualms about it.

So this is not about whitewashing power politics. It’s about holding two ideas at once: authoritarianism must be confronted, but the means of doing so matter—because precedents built on force rather than law ultimately come back to haunt everyone.

Revocation Of Gun Licences Uncalled For
- Femi Falana, SAN

June 1, 2019

Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), has described the revocation of gun licences as uncalled for.
He said gun licences were granted to citizens to complement the measure put in place by the government to protect life and property of citizens in the face of grave dangers to lives and properties as being witnessed under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

He said the revocation of such licences could create the impression that the government was exposing Nigerians to further danger.
Calling for a review of the President’s Executive Order, Falana said the solution was for federal and state governments to re-organise and equip the Nigeria Police, motivate all police personnel and increase their number phenomenally for proper policing of the country.

He said, “The right to life as guaranteed by the Constitution includes the right to self defence and the defence of your property.
“If you apply for licence to bear arms and you are granted, the purpose is to complement the measures put in place by the government to protect your life and property in a moment of grave danger to your life and property as we are currently witnessing under the Buhari administration.

“The revocation of gun licences from those who have legally acquired them is uncalled for. It is a measure that has to be reviewed as a matter of urgency so that the impression is not created that the government is exposing Nigerians to further danger.”

He added, “What is required in the circumstance is for the government, federal and state, to urgently re-organise and equip the Nigerian Police Force and motivate all police personnel and increase the number phenomenally so that the country can be properly policed because Section 14 prescribed that the welfare and security of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.”

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Seyi Sowemimo, said though the right to bear arm was not expressly provided for in the constitution, it could be implied from the right to life.

The SAN said the Executive Order was ill-timed, noting that it came at a time when the country faced greater insecurity.

Sowemimo said, “What I find wrong with the Executive Order is that it is coming at a time when there is growing insecurity in the land; when people are increasingly exposed to kidnapping, herdsmen threat and so on, and the government is not able to put adequate security in place. This is what makes it all the more worrisome.

Also, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), the Executive Order was in conflict with Section 33 of the 1999 Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and Section 258 of the Criminal Code on self-defence.

Ozekhome said, “The Executive order is also gravely flawed in the sense that those known and notorious to illegally possess these same arms, like herdsmen, were not even named at all.”

AKACHI AND MOSQUE SAMARRA

The Akachi monument (right), erected in Owerri Imo State by the recent past governor, is a near replica of the Great Samarra mosque in Iraq (left). For a time, the Samarra mosque was said to be the largest mosque in the world.

The mosque was destroyed in 1278 (656 AH) after Hulagu Khan's invasion of Iraq. Only the outer wall and its minaret remain.

Few things confuse me more than seeing a Nigerian resident in Nigeria gleefully return ANY politician to power at any point in time. This is 2019 and you are not guaranteed 5hours of electricity/day; you can't travel more than 60KM in any direction from where you are right now without risking a kidnapping or murder in broad daylight by marauding "bandits"; you can't be rushed to any government owned hospital in Nigeria and within minutes have basis diagnostic procedures like CT scan or MRI done, that is if they have the basic materials required to stitch a simple scalp laceration or treat a snake or scorpion bite; the schools are in complete disarray without functioning laboratories nor proper dormitories for the students; the roads are such death traps that the FRSCN now teaches motorists how to avoid potholes, and these things have been so and even worse since forever, yet there are sane persons who wish to return these madmen to power. I don't see as normal in the head the Nigerian who looks at his TV, sees his Senator, LGA chairman, governor, VP Osinbajo or President Buhari and smiles saying, "I go vote for this man again!"
Many educated people in Nigeria are insane. Passed through a test of basic intelligence, they will fail, else how does one explain how people are still enthusiastic about a bunch of leaders who year after year can't fix something as simple as pipe borne water but themselves luxuriate in endless wealth and zero needs? If you are Nigerian living in Nigeria and you have a politician you wish to return to power, go seek psychiatric help.

Legalpedia Electronic Citation: LER [2019]SC.127/2014
Suit no: SC. 127/2014

AREAS OF LAW:
Appeal, Court, Judgment And Order, Practice And Procedure
SUMMARY OF FACTS:
The Appellant was arraigned before the High Court of Kaduna State, on a four count charge of false pretence with intent to defraud by obtaining the sum of N 250,000.00 and N750, 000.00 contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act of 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Act, making and using false document as genuine contrary to Section 364 of the Penal Code. The Appellant pleaded not guilty to the charge and the case proceeded to trial. While the Prosecution called eight(8) witnesses to testify on its behalf, the Appellant opted for a no case submission but same was overruled by the trial court. Dissatisfied with the trial court’s ruling on the “No Case Submission”, the Appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal in Kaduna Division. The Respondent raised a preliminary objection on the competence of the Appeal on the ground that the Notice of Appeal filed by the Appellant is incompetent being one that raised issues of mixed law and facts requiring leave of court by virtue of the provisions of 241(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999(as amended). The lower Court upheld the preliminary objection of the Respondent and held that the appeal was incompetent and proceeded to strike out same. The court also directed that the Appellant should proceed to enter his defence. Further dissatisfied by the lower court’s judgment, the Appellant has lodged the instant appeal contending that although the appeal originated as an interlocutory appeal, it is not every interlocutory appeal that requires leave of Court as Section 241(1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999(as amended) provides an exception.

Adultery Is Not An Offence In All States In Nigeria.

Adultery is an offence only in the northern part of Nigeria. It is not an offence in the Western, Eastern and Southern parts of Nigeria. Hence, adultery as a crime in states in Northern Nigeria, it is punishable with 2 years imprisonment and or with an option of fine. In the other parts of Nigeria, no person can be charged to court for adultery.

My authorities are sections 387 and 388 of the Penal Code Act, 1960.

“Memorandum Of Understanding Is Not A Binding Contract”

A Contract is a binding agreement between parties, creating a commitment to do or not to do a particluar thing. Memorandum of Understanding is a mere expression of intention by parties, a preliminary understanding of parties to later enter into a formal contract but not on its own a contract and as such not binding and not enforceable by parties.
To ensure you don’t sign a Contract instead of a mere Memorandum of Understanding, always contact your lawyer.

My authority is the decision of Supreme Court in the case of BPS CONSTRUCTION & ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED v. FEDERAL CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (2017) LPELR-42516(SC).
