Good for almost everyone to know.

It is a slow day in the small town of Pumphandle, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the local hotel, and lays a $100 bill on the counter saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.

As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to pay off his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.

The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local pr******te, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her services on credit.

The ho**er rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything... However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a STIMULUS PACKAGE works.

COPIED.

"The denigration of the Judiciary today is as a result of the inability of the Political class to get their act together. They have made the Judiciary an integral part of their political manipulations by resorting to litigation for every single election. Perhaps it would be better in order to preserve the integrity and reputation of the main stream Judiciary to amend our laws to insulate it from involvement in political cases".
Per Honourable Justice Chinwe Eugenia Iyizoba JCA (Retired)
At the Valedictory Sitting of the Enugu Judicial Division of the Court of Appeal. 24th January 2020.

"when the court is faced with the alternative of perpetuating what it is satisfied is an erroneous decision which was reached per incuriam and will, if followed, inflict hardship and injustice upon the generations in the future or of causing temporary disturbances of rights acquired under such a decision, I do not think we shall hesitate to declare the law as we find it."

Per G.B.A Coker JSC in Johnson v Lawanson (1971) 7 NSCC 82.

In Olorunfemi v. Asho (supra) (Suit No. SC. 13/1999), this Court in its unreported Ruling dated 18-3-99 set aside its judgment delivered on 8-1-99 on the ground that it failed to consider the respondent's cross-appeal before allowing the appellant's appeal. It ordered that the appeal be heard de novo by another panel of Justices of this Court. See generally Alao v. A.C.B. Ltd. (supra)." PER OGWUEGBU, J.S.C. (Pp.16-17, Paras.B-A)

*Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc v L. G. C. Ltd (2020)2 NWLR (Pt. 1707) 1 @ 17* , the Supreme Court per Abba Aji,JSC held inter alia that the Supreme Court has the power to set aside its Judgement,and rehear same under the following circumstances:

4. Where any of the parties obtained judgement by fraud or deceit;
5. Where such a decision is a nullity;
6. Where it is obvious that the Court was misled into giving the decision under a wrong belief that the parties consented to it;
