Uba, Oduah Approach Supreme Court For Clarification Of Judgment

Indications emerged at the weekend that the nine federal lawmakers repre­senting Anambra State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the National Assembly, in­cluding Senators Andy Uba and Stella Oduah may return to the Supreme Court this week for clarification regard­ing their status with respect to its judgment on the leader­ship crisis rocking the party in the state.

Interestingly, Chief Chris Ubah, John Emeka, Annie Okonkwo and others on the list of Ejike Oguebego-led national executive of the party, who got judgment of the Supreme Court, have approached the Independent National Electoral Commis­sion (INEC) to issue them Certificates of Return as elected senators and House of Representatives members for Anambra State.

Already, Uba and Oduah have written to INEC insist­ing that the judgment did not affect their seats in the Na­tional Assembly.

Sources said that the motion seeking clarification of the judgment became nec­essary in view of the insinua­tions that the lawmakers may have lost their seats by the judgment of the apex court.

In a letter addressed to the Chairman of INEC by their lawyer, Chief Arthur Oka­for (SAN), the politicians insisted that the Supreme Court judgment delivered last Friday has not in any way rendered their seats va­cant in both chambers of the National Assembly.

The January 29 letter stated that the lawmakers urged the INEC chairman to “resist the machinations of those who are ill-motivated and bent on causing confu­sion in the system. If you find that the national ex­ecutive of PDP, which, in the case, nominated our cli­ents, then in the absence of a court order, there will be no compulsion or justifica­tion on your part to interfere with the mandate vested in our clients by the PDP and the electorate.”

They insisted that the primary election which pro­duced them as candidates for the 2015 general elec­tions was conducted by the national secretariat of the PDP as required by law and not the Anambra chapter of the PDP as being insinuated.

#MenOnly: The Right Way To Approach A Woman

Posted on by

When you see a beautiful girl, don’t sit back and wait for the universe to magically bring you two together to start a conversation. Seize the day and put yourself out there! Throw caution to the wind and if you see someone you like, give it your best shot and go for it. Going after someone you like, even with the chance of being rejected, is also a great life lesson to apply to other areas of your life. You gotta be in it to win it.

 When going for the approach, the best thing you can do is to walk with confidence. Women love a man who is confident and comfortable with who they are. The rest will take care of itself.

Here are four suave ways to approach a cute girl.

1. Just say “Hi”

This sounds like the most obvious and almost dumb thing to even suggest, because it’s the logical thing to do, but men don’t always do this. This is a pre-opener sort of thing, and it breaks the ice a little. Whether she’s hanging out in a group with other women or standing in line at Starbucks, she will know that you are speaking to her and not approaching her with a question mid-sentence.

2. Indirect opener

happy hour, bar

This can be looked at as an approach that is not specifically directed at her, but is more something that can be said to make an audience laugh. Since women love a sense a humor, why not try to make her laugh right off the bat? Keep it light though — you don’t want to come off as creepy. If you make her laugh, there will be instant intrigue, and congrats to you because you definitely have gotten her attention. This should be tailored to your personality and what you feel comfortable saying, but may I suggest (if she is looking at her phone, which I’m sure she will be) to say something along the lines of: “I had no idea that you were texting your friend about me!” Find a solid, workable indirect opener and stick with it.

3. Opinion opener

This will for sure get her talking and is your best bet at continuing the conversation. This can be tailored to your location, especially if you’re at a bar or in a very social situation. Your opinion opener will be along the lines of: “Have you been to this bar/restaurant before, what would you recommend I get?” It can be a variation of this line. It’s been tried on me many times and has kept me talking, which is what you’re going for (of course).

4. Direct opener

couple, drinks, bar

Gentlemen, this is the BIG one and is not for the shy and insecure man. Be prepared to run with this: give her a compliment. This can be used anywhere, but do bear in mind that there is a visible fine line between a genuine compliment and creepy comment. Caution: Please do not approach this in the way of cat-calling; rather, pay a beautiful woman a respective compliment, once you approach her and say “hi,” followed by your direct opener. For example: “I’m sorry I had to stop you, but you have the most amazing eyes.” Congrats to you — you just stopped a beautiful girl in her tracks.

Buhari Faults Jonathan’s Approach To Chibok Girls’ Abduction

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday maintained that that the handling of the Chibok girls issue by former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration was not impressive. He spoke when he received the #Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He declared that it was a matter of right for the government to take care of the welfare of the escaped girls and parents of the over 200 secondary school girls abducted from Chibok, Borno State on April 14 last year. He said: “I think the government should provide the welfare as a matter of right.”

Buhari promised to do all it takes to rescue the Chibok girls. He wondered how the capacity of Nigerian armed forces had lowered over the years. Promising to strengthen institutions, he said, that everything will be done to bring the armed forces back to its lost glory.

The #Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) group visited the Presidential Villa to make formal demands for the girls’ rescue, among others. The group was led by the Coordinators, former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili and Mariam Uwais.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo along with the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and some service chiefs were also among top government officials that received the group in the briefing room attached to the Council Chamber.

Previous attempts by the group to access the seat of power and have audience with former President Jonathan were thwarted by the last administration.

The demands made by Ezekwesili and Chibok Area Development Association, represented by Mr. Dauda Iliya,  Wednesday, included increasing effort by the government to immediately rescue the abducted girls, for the Federal Government to start taking care of the welfare of parents of the abducted and escaped girls.
