#135767 From: Oderaigbo <odera.igbo@...>
Date: Fri Jun 1, 2012 8:17 am
Subject: HAVARD TRAINED LAWYER vs Ex-journalist SEYI AWOFESO -
odera.igbo
Send Email Send Email
 
" The fact is that Seyi is one of the most conniving of all. Throughout 2009 and 2010, Seyi kept writing to me expressing his understanding and support. He called all his new friends names. In his several mails to me, he called Afis a carpenter and bus conductor. He called Sowore all kinds of names. He called IBK and Nebukadineze, names arguing strainously that they did not know the law and that they were envious. His rage against these men was uncontrollable."

"But Seyi disappeared. I wondered what happened to my "friend". I later figured it out. EFCC has a file on Seyi. My contacts within the Commission showed me everything. EFCC was desperate to discredit me when I criticized their thieving madam, Mrs. Farida. The officer investigating Seyi's case learned that Seyi knew me and all about the controversies and the things Seyi had said in my support. Seyi had not choice but to endear himself to the EFCC to save his neck. He first stopped supporting me. Then he moved to the other side."

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL ,somebody should tell Seyi that it is not wise to send an arrogant irritant to battle a man that walked into the Dens of EFCC ,tell them to thier face that they suck and come out to tell the tale,so here is the begining of re-education for Seyi from Havard Lawyer Ugwuonye ,enjoy ,,,,

HOW DID I KNOW that Seyi is not a lawyer? And thanks to those who have confirmed that he is only a journalist. I knew the truth about Seyi by reading what he has been writing and by conducting a little research, the same research I used to conduct when someone works up to me and tells that somebody he knew has suddenly vanished. But that's not the only reason why I discovered that he is not a lawyer. There are these other reasons:
(A) I have been a lawyer for over 20 years. I have lived intimately in the law for the entire time
(B) I am a well-trained lawyer who took the discipline of the law seriously, notwithstanding the controversies that have come up around me in the past 3 years.
(C) I have taught students of law and I understand the growth process or the learning curve through which a person goes from not knowing the law to knowing it.
(D) Also, I am familiar with legal analysis, which involves a different set of skills from merely knowing the law. (Almost everybody knows the law - The Accountants, the MBAs, the Architects, the Engineers, Medical Doctors, etc all learned one thing or the other about law in the course of their training. But what they don't have is the tool or training on legal analysis - which is summarily the process of identifying the applicable or relevant legal principles and rules relative to a specific controversy and making the best logical connections between the rules, among themselves, and to the facts and institutional exigencies at play in a controversy). If you don't have that analytical skill or training, you are not a lawyer. You may know the law. So Seyi did some evening law and learned the law more or less as the MBA graduate learned business law and the doctor learned health care laws.

I consistently found that Aluko and Seyi are both lacking in that analytical tool. Aluko could not even understand what it meant when his own wife paid money to the court so that they would use a Sheriff to deliver the court papers on Aluko at the same address as the wife. Aluko did not understand what it meant when he used the same pen that he used to mark student's papers to write to the court that he and his wife had been married for 30 years and happily so, even though the same wife accused him of "EXCESSIVELY VICIOUS CONDUCT". Aluko did not even understand the legal meaning of the term, "Excessively Vicious Conduct". He probably thought it was just another phrase in a discussion on the yahoo group. His mind must have been on ErG or Vin Modebelu when he read that on the court document. How could the same Aluko understand the distinction between "technicality" and "merits based" judicial decision? As an unaccomplished Professor of Engineering, he thought that "technicality" hear meant the same thing as "technical" in engineering context. I know the problem. Aluko has lived the past 20 years believing that all the people in the yahoo groups are fools. He doesn't believe that anybody is intelligent. So he dumps upon them all kind of crap.

The same with Seyi. Seyi is actually the worst fraud ever because he pretends to know the law and to be a lawyer. You are not a lawyer just because you did evening-law in Nigeria and you paid money to some young students to write your papers and get you a passing grade. Remember that I had said that Mrs. Farida Waziri was not a lawyer, even though she is far better than Seyi. Okay consider the following points:
(A) Seyi has never appeared before a judge and announced himself as counsel. That means that even a one-week old lawyer in my firm is better than Seyi by far.
(B) Even after being challenged, Seyi still can never give you even one instance when he appeared before a judge as counsel.
(C) Seyi does not understand the meaning of the term "presumption of innocence". Instead, Seyi thinks that a person is guilty until a court of law acquits him. Seyi must have had someone write his basic level 1 course in the law faculty he attended. By the way those who are saying that Seyi has a law degree; can then truly verify it. Or are they saying just because Seyi said so? I guess the latter is actually more likely to be the case.
(D) The fact is that I am as innocent as anyone could possibly be until and unless I have been tried and found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. Mark my words, "a court of competent jurisdiction". It means that no Nigerian court could find me guilty if such court lacks jurisdiction. But here Seyi is trying to persuade the readers to believe that I am guilty and would remain guilty until some court acquits me.
(E) Seyi is not only dumb, he is also daft. He does not know that a court cannot acquit me or do anything unless a competent charge has been filed in accordance with the law. Seyi expects that a court that lacked jurisdiction could have given a judgment just as if it had jurisdiction.
(F) My challenge stands and I want to make it easy for Seyi. I am willing to take away my insistence on him appearing before any judge as counsel. Let Seyi show us any company in existence that he has worked for even as a junior lawyer. Mark my word: "Any company in existence" that Seyi has been even a legal clerk to.
(G) My people, I can assure you something and you will not be able to prove me wrong. And that is this: The only place that Seyi has ever practiced law is on these yahoo groups and list serves. At least Aluko practiced law in his own divorce case by defending himself against his own poor wife. Aluko can therefore claim that he has appeared before a judge and has faced a Sheriff unafraid. But Seyi cannot even boast of that. Aluko can show that he managed to use his lawyering skill to fill out his own divorce court papers. But Seyi cannot do that. Seyi was not even able to face his own wife. Aluko did. And by getting his wife to dismiss the divorce suit, Aluko can say that he won a case, not on technicality, not on the merits, but by trick, blackmail and avoidance.
Seyi and Aluko are just silly little boys. They are just trying to impress you guys. I respect those like Aduba, Eluemunor who could admit that they are not lawyers. Seyi is the opposite. He pretends he is one. As someone who has taught law, I can tell you that both Aduba and Eluemunor, and even Aluko, know more law than Seyi. 
This is not my final say on Seyi. My final say will come when he points out either of the following:
(i) One instance that he, Seyi, appeared before a judge or even a probation officer or even a child support enforcement officer, or any official whatsoever and announced himself as a lawyer representing anybody including himself.
(ii) Any company or organization still in existence that Seyi could say that has been even a law clerk to.
(iii) Any legal opinion on any matter, other than on these yahoo groups, that is written by Seyi in the his life.
(iv) Any other occasion, apart from these yahoo groups, in which Seyi was a part of any legal groups, even if only as a personal assistant to any of the lawyers.
(v) Any three occasions in his entire life in which Seyi has been a witness in a court trial. (I had to add this last test because I doubt that Seyi would even know how to be a witness in court, how much less a lawyer).
The ball is in Seyi's court. If he does not meet any of this challenge, I think everybody would agree with me that he should take a vacation and go see his children and pay child support.

Another thing: When was the last time Seyi was able to come into the United States? Can he come into the United States now? What happened? I will pay his ticket if he agrees to come, just to prove me wrong. He is so deeply interested in things going on in the United States, but he cannot come. I know why. Also, the reason you don't see much of Seyi when you google his name and there is nowhere to find any connection between Seyi and the United States and yet Seyi tells you that he lived in the United States. So what happened? I have that too. Let him just tell you the name he used while in the States. He could change his name, but can he change his fingerprints? That is the big question. If you have Seyi's other name, you will see him fully when you google him. His other name is ......................................? I may be practicing law now from my basement, but I still retained a 20-year knowledge of how to chase down bad guys across the globe. I still know what to do when a person works into my office and tells me that someone he had something with has suddenly vanished and that he has no idea which part of the world he is in. Alias Seyi, don't go yet. Stick around, please.

Uzoma:

Don't you ever make the mistake of trusting Seyi Awofeso. He is a fraudster. He realizes that he cannot answer those questions I posed to him and he is trying to sound like a decent person to minimize his exposure. The fact is that Seyi is one of the most conniving of all. Throughout 2009 and 2010, Seyi kept writing to me expressing his understanding and support. He called all his new friends names. In his several mails to me, he called Afis a carpenter and bus conductor. He called Sowore all kinds of names. He called IBK and Nebukadineze, names arguing strainously that they did not know the law and that they were envious. His rage against these men was uncontrollable. He said unprintable things about Aluko. He told me he was the only Yoruba person in my support. I even had to advise him not to play the ethnic card that far. But something happened early in 2011 to bring out the real Seyi Awofeso.

Once I got detained by the EFCC, Seyi vanished. He did not comment for months. He disconnected himself from the list serves. Indeed, when I came out and checked the mails, I was surprised that Seyi was silent during the time I was in detention. Even Valentine Ojo tried to reach me on phone. I spoke to Val Ojo on February 18, 2011 as I was being moved by 24 armed EFCC operatives and mobile policemen from Lagos to Abuja. And Val was sympathetic. But Seyi disappeared. I wondered what happened to my "friend". I later figured it out. EFCC has a file on Seyi. My contacts within the Commission showed me everything. EFCC was desperate to discredit me when I criticized their thieving madam, Mrs. Farida. The officer investigating Seyi's case learned that Seyi knew me and all about the controversies and the things Seyi had said in my support. Seyi had not choice but to endear himself to the EFCC to save his neck. He first stopped supporting me. Then he moved to the other side. The first significant step was when IBK and Wilson Iguade and others became concerned about my safety in Nigeria and thought of a petition (which actually helped in ways you never know), Seyi openly opposed it. And that was when Afis stopped being a carpenter to him. They found a common ground on that mission. First, I wasn't sure whether his position on the matter was because of his deep dislike for IBK, which I had come to know was there or whether he was actually against me. Of course, Seyi has received some reprieve from his EFCC investigators. His file is placed in the back burner for now.

Seyi has repeatedly spewed out false and misleading opinions on my matter. But he is wrong all the time. First, he claimed that once I became indicted in Nigeria, it made Sowore's position good, regardless of how I got indicted and the corruption behind my indictment. When my lawyer, Mr. Temple, withdrew in October last year, Seyi said it was a devastating blow to me, even without knowing how it came about. When the court in March of this year directed for me to appear for deposition, Seyi said that the court had given a "short shrift" to my excuses of traveling to Nigeria, as if it was not true that I travelled to Nigeria. Also, even after the court had ruled that I could assert client privileges in document production in Sowore's case, Seyi continued to argue that I could not. Then when Sowore's lawyer filed a motion for summary judgment, Seyi declared it a winner even before I could file a response. Even though the court has ruled on March 9, 2012 regarding Sowore's motion for sanction for my allegedly not responding to their request to admit, Seyi, who himself reported that ruling, is not saying that I have exposure on that. And now that the same indictment that swelled the head of Seyi has been dismissed in Lagos, the every reversible Seyi is saying that the court judgment meant nothing. 

The bottomline is that I understand the highly discontent and frustrated Seyi. He is a fraud. Everybody in the world has heard what a great lawyer he is. But when put to test about his qualification, he is turning out to great something else other than a lawyer. When you tighten the squeeze now, you would find that the guy probably forged his certificates and that he is really nothing. When I see a man behave like Seyi, what do you think that I do? I call my international private investigators and send them to work. Don't waste your time trying to accept an olive branch from Seyi. He does not mean it. He feels some vulnerability and exposure and like a coward he would tuck his tail in-between his legs and run. You got to call his bluff. As him to pass the tests I gave to him. He gave me extremely difficult tests and I accepted them. Now, let him accept the simple tests I gave him. Let him start by disclosing the name he used in America.

Thank you for your concern.

You know what also is bad! If I call you Seyi a "criminal" without substances. That is bad. But I have substance to call Afis and his criminals but I have been sensitive about it but the thing called Afis is still prowling the Internet, calling people very insulting names, including Ezeana, [a man with tested and proven integrity]. Seyi: You should consider leaving Afis on his own as he has his own mind, I like long journeys and Afis started this and it will not just end, not yet. The only end will come when Afis start with pile of apologies and he knows where to start, mine will be the last.

I enjoy having people like Afis on opposite ends, it gives me joy. 

Read Here: My best friend here is SA is a Yoruba man, Debo, very good man. I am talking about a true Nigerian Yoruba, not a border crossing one.

Thanking you for your take.

Dear Uzoma KLN,
 
Please, may i appeal to you to consider putting that particular incident between you and Afis behind?
 
I just learnt of it in your post and it is obvious you feel continuously angry over the incident you reported below. It is however my hope we can all remain friends here, despite the issue-disagreement and friendly fires we often direct at each other.
 
Do consider striking out that incident from your mind because you do feel very hurt by it.
 
Thanks lots.
 
With usual esteem, 
Seyi

"Afis is his own man. No one here can influence his thinking on any matter. For that, and much else besides, i respect him." - Seyi


Folks, 

Great! I am one hundred percent in agreement with Seyi on this matter and I will support as follows:

1] Anini [The Robber] was his own man, no one was able to influence his thinking and he had people who loved and respected him and he died with bullets, he traded on it.

2] Shino Rambo [Another border crossing Yoruba from either Cotonou or Togo] is his own man, nobody was able to influence his thinking, well he robbed to fullest, the rest is history.

3] Abacha was his own man, no one was able to influence him, he had so many supporters and servants, he was rich too and loved by many. Well, you may know the history more than me.

4] Hitler was his own man, no one was able to influence him, to many people, he was a great leader, he was loved, respected by many and his army invented a terrible drug which still renders youths useless till date.  No need telling his story as it may amount to insensitive to certain people...

5] Osiskankwu [The Kidnapper] was a man of his own, no one was able to influence his thinking, he was respected and loved by many, he created more followers in a short time that while dead and buried, many continued where he stopped.

6] [...... I refuse to name him] The leader of Boko Haram was his own man, no one was able to influence him. So many people respected him. I refuse to say what he and his turned Nigeria into.

7] Lucifer was his own..., no one was able to get him to change and we all know what the story is. I came across a place in South Africa where they have "Church of Satan" There is a group of Dare-devil riders who call themselves "Satan Saints". See! Satan also has respect and lovers too.

Read here: Afis is a fool. I never use insulting words but there is no better way to describe that thing.

Afis was quick to disseminate one of my properties that had court issue, calling me a criminal when he [Afis] and his immediate family members are criminals with records. Afis never believed anybody would get his dirt. I am not here to enter into any form of .....name it whatever you want but I have Afis on my radar and that is a sweet place for anyone to be.

...And you Afis, copy me, every time you write. While have you de-listed me? Why must I read you through another? I thought you and I have a score to settle.

God create people like me because of people like you [Afis]. For every running criminal, there is a bounty hunter.

When i urge folks to keenly read Afis, i mean it, not least because he is my friend.
 
Afis and i relate decently as equals and we respect each other’s divergent opinions on a myriad of issues as prudent middle-age men should do. And the truth also is that Afis' humour is as cutting as it is insightful for those who can read between the lines.
 
I understand those who may dislike Afis for his un-varnished comments on the Igbo but i find that specific dislike hypocritically tenuous, because a masquerade that does not wish to be sued for debts ought not to borrow money.

Folks,

Afis runs even from unknown fears.
He would start and when someone take him on, he runs with flimsy excuses like; "I am going to play golf, am going to the beach", bla bla bla.

He will call people all derogatory and unprintable names and when called to explain, like his norm, he varnished and tied calling himself names like: "Phantom, fugitive, Ghost, figment of imagination" etc

Well, for those who did not know, Afis is no ghost, he is a nearly morbidly obese "mumu", at only above 60years, he drags his body like old "Molue" with excess passengers. All the stories you read about him training for whatever race is all to paint an imaginary picture to confuse "scan readers".

FYI: Afis is a fool.

All,

Poor fellow, this Afis. In his mail, he tried to take on me on the point that I was wrong in saying that I do not know him because he is simply anonymous but he did not even understand me at all.

Or who was it that wrote this: Personally I don't know you, I hardly know thieves and friends of thieves. Okay? Tony Eluemunor read the above again, you are somehow a college graduate, does that imply we are buddies

And this too? You and I have crossed paths on these forums, and using the statement BY NOW due to some encounters on the forum YOU KNOW what would come from me, I think that does not imply I love you, I eat with you or I know you personally. Okay?

Tony Eluemunor, stop flattering yourself.

 

And when I pointed out to him how miserably wrong he has been, he who tried to make me look small by reminding me of my having a College education and not justifying it in my mails, and I challenged him to meet me squarely on the points under discussion, including faulting my stand that I do not know him, he descended, head first into one of the deepest pits in hell, cursing as he fled, and this time trying to make it appear he was talking about corruption all the while.

Talk about rampaging hypocrisy and you would be talking about Afis. He tried in his mail to fault my stand that I do not know him, but instead of staying the course, he has fled when faced with superior argument.  Now, he is not ready to face the issues at all. When some persons are cornered and the emptiness of their stance is made manifest, they begin to play tough to hide their hollowness. God knows that he dragged college education into the discussion. I repeat the question: “Afis, have I defended my certificates or not?”

Also, I do not know where Afis saw ten paragraphs in my mail; well, he may have been seeing double!

Well, I will wait for Afis to return to the issues under discussion for I have more words to send his way.

Thanks.

Tony Eluemunor.

You are common thief Tony Eluemunor, you may rant and rave as seen in your 10 paragraphs below, that just shows you received my message on behalf of our suffering masses.
I don't do buddy buddy with thieves, so stop repeating yourself.
And this is not about Emeka Ugwuonye and his ten sticky fingers.
This is about you, Tony Eluemunor the thief who ate with thieves even when they are caught and even convicted.
It is about the stolen dreams of millions of our peoples by people like you, Tony Eluemunor and your convicted boss, James Ibori.
My job is to remind the amnesic ones among us what you are and the people they are associating with. Tony Eluemunor, you are doing me a great favor by letting people realize I am not part of your thieving crew.
The points you raised are positioned to portray thievery as something worth celebrating.
I am not interested.
You are deviously trying to portray Emeka Ugwuonye as a winner, when he has not paid for his crimes? He has cases to answer. And if not in US law courts, well, the war is on.
You want us to see thieves including you and Ibori in good light........I am not interested.
My job is done.
Shikena,
afis

Dear all,
 
It hurts to the quick when fully developed adults, who have attended various schools too, who ramble and rattle all the while in the internet discussion groups about thoughts and thinking and thinking about thinking, want things to be spelt out ABC-like for them. And it makes it clear that there is cause for worry.
 
I know Seyi A but I do not know Afis. I do not know whether he is Odidiare or Mr. Idiot, just as I do not know whether the man behind the Leye Ige alias is the great Prof Aluko we are conversant with here - or not. Afis pleaded his curse-laden exertions on the internet fora as the reason for our having known ourselves. Yes, I know there is a quack-salver here whose Bible must be the “Book of Insults”, whose discussion foundations are almost always made of quicksand, and whose cursing tongue is always in quick fire position and which some persons may mistake for being quick-witted. And even if I may not have met some members of these discussion fora personally, I may have picked up some details of their lives apart from their names, and may then claim to know them – from afar. And there are certain others, always content to exist in the margin of life, that we will never know.  If you know a person, you will know what he stands for. I care little about people or non-persons who limp up, with a mighty effort, from deep obscurity and do nothing but spew out insults and abuses endlessly as though they are incapable of stringing two thoughts together. And to tell the truth, I do not want to know Afis at all!
 
Now, have I defended my certificates enough? Now, who was the one lost in the woods?  If I have defended my certificates to Afis’ satisfaction, perhaps he would return to the points I raised, puncture them or maintain silence. To leave the issues at hand and begin to insult discussants is a poor attempt to hide one’s non-preparedness to partake in the great conversation that is supposed to be on here – about ourselves and our country and our world.  
 
And in case, yes just in case, Afis has forgotten, I have to remind him that the issue under discussion is Dr. Emeka Ugwuonye’s victory at the Lagos High Court. It would be nice to have his contribution on that, especially his opposition to the points I attempted to marshal out. He may fault my points and I could even thank him and learn from my mistakes and his lessons. That is life; we live and learn.
 
By the way, this is by no means a plea to Afis to embrace quietism or become a quietist though nothing is wrong with quietude once in a while. Yet, I grant that Afis has all the liberty in the world to remain what he has chosen to be: a quid-nunc.  And if this Afis ( I have since declared that I do not know whether he is a man or not) were to fall into the quiescent stage, not many would want to quicken him!  By the way, I want to proclaim to the whole world that I understand that doctors use “quiescent stage” when talking about diseases, and I am using it in that sense too!
 
Thanks.
 
Tony Eluemunor.

Tony Eluemunor, if what I stated above meant you and I know each other personally, I would have taken an advert in all the Newspapers in the world to denounce it, and then I would have said you are right to cry out.
But as deceptive as you are, and going by your association with a thief named Ibori, well I should have expected you would try to run with that one. However, it is a dud cheque.
 
Personally I don't know you, I hardly know thieves and friends of thieves. Okay? Tony Eluemunor read the above again, you are somehow a college graduate, does that imply we are buddies?

Dear All,
 
I have been accused of several evils before and have been called all sorts of names too.Afis dutifully recalled some of the names and accusations in his mail. He even called me a thief. Yet, what  I find most objectionable is that he announced that "Tony knows Afis".
 
God forbid; I do not know who or whatever goes by the alias of Afis. Please believe me, I do not know Afis, and I pray NEVER to have the misfortune of knowing  him. Whenever I see that alias, a thought always comes to mind; that if per chance, St Peter were to open the Pearly Gates for him, he would openly laddle a hefty dolop of abuses on the Apostle and then jauntily walk straight right into hell. Why? Force of habit!
 
Afis often reminds me of Gen. Buhari's resolve not to meet with IBB, immediately after his release from detention. He said he would meet IBB only in the Mosque or in Heaven.
 
Well, I do not have fears about meeting Afis because he would have no need for a church and about heaven, he has already occupied a high seat in the devil's court - just like Sowore the liar and assistant father of liars.
 
Please, take note everybody, I know NOT anybody called Afis on these fora. And I pray NEVER to know him. Seyi I know. He is a journalist and a lawyer who was highly regarded in any newsroom he had worked in.
 
Thanks.
Tony Eluemunor.
 
P/S,
 
Another lesson I have learnt in life is that when people lack the points or just logic to counter my points, they resort to name calling.  Well, we have been told that Satan is the accuser of our brethren; his able assistant is doing not so badly , on that scheme, in these Nigerian internet discussion fora.

Tony Eluemunor, you know Afis by now, he's gonna say some'hing if he sees some'hing.
 
If we can get past the these criminally tainted hurdles, then I think one can read Tony Eluemunor:
1. Tony Eluemunor is a friend of a thief, aand a spokesperson for a known habitual criminal named Governor Ibori.
2. Tony Eluemunor was the one who kept advocating for this criminal Mr Ibori even when the thief was sentenced in England. And like Osahon, I say, if he's a friend of a thief, a collaborator with a thief and an embrace-r of all that a thief had done, then Tony Eluemunor is a thief.
 
Now, hear ye my fellow two-legged Humans, if Tony Eluemunor tries to sell you a used car would any of you even look at the car, knowing fully well he is a liar and defender of thief named Gov Ibori? Would you?
 
So anything he says, anything he writes, please my two-legged Beings, don't even check under the "hood", run my peoples run!
Thanks for listening, I am picking race already.

Dear All,
 
I must state from the very beginning that I know Seyi Awofeso as a journalist. He worked for the Guardian newspaper group in its glorious days. He has also worked in top editorial positions at THISWEEK magazine, the Insider (confidential publication) and the Grapevine - all defunct now.
 
I also know that he is actually a lawyer. He may have actually worked in the Legal Department of Albarka Airlines, again now defunct.
 
Yet, what I do not know is what pushed Seyi to imply that a case which a Lagos High Court struck out for want of territorial jurisdiction could ever be brought back to any High Court in Nigeria. I am not a lawyer, yet I know that a State High Court in Nigeria is a court of record, and unless the EFCC DEFEATS Dr.. Emeka Ugwuonye at the Court of Appeal level, the matter is dead and closed!
 
And if Ugwuonye opposed EFCC over territorial jurisdiction, then he did win some awesome victory. It is not just because victory is victory and is victory that I say so, but because here is a man that had been labeled a criminal in these internet fora, without even allowing the case to finish, here was a man that was denied bail, locked up in solitary confinement (if I remember correctly), etc.
 
What I really find baffling here is why Seyi and others who share his position, have been blind to the real veritas in this instant occasion; that it should have been suspected by the lawyers in EFCC that the case before them and against Ugwuonye MIGHT lack territorial jurisdiction, yet, they threw everything they had into it and against the man.
 
Seyi has asked us to call attention to the fate of the man who accused Ugwuonye of defrauding him; but even as much as an accuser may have some rights,  and claims, so too does the person he has accused have certain basic rights too. What Seyi and his co-travelers on that curious route of his forgot so trenchantly is the fact that just as there is the chance that Ugwuonye's accuser may have been defrauded, so too the chance exists that he COULD be a false accuser!
 
Then, if we factor in Bolaji Aluko's allleged influence on the case, then there is the great need to worry if ever there is some truth in that allegation. If there is, then there is a very, very great need to worry for it could mean that anyone that has the attention of any who could muster any force within the EFCC could get anyone to be declared wanted. What that would mean about Aluko's personality is another matter altogether. But as I said, we still dwell at the level of conjecture on this issue.
 
We are living witnesses to some self-serving nastiness but we have chosen to shut our eyes and minds to them - to our collective detriment. Saharamalreporters would ever be terribly in the wrong if they would gather Aluko or any other interested party's opinion against a sworn enemy and fraudulently broadcast same as pure veritas. And yet, the same malreporters who claim to be fighting corruption would corruptly enrich themselves from swindling well-meaning organizations such as the Ford Foundation, through fraudulent claims, even after getting visas on false pretences. And nuhu Ribadu would get the Sowores a chance to mount the same rostrum with my own teacher, the great Chinua Achebe, to denounce corruption. Achebe was simply used and dumped; since Ribadu and El-Rufai got the chance to return to Nigeria, have they remembered to organize anything near the Achebe symposium?  Bah!!!,  419 seldom comes in such hellish forms
 
And it is this expose against Saharamalreporters that has cast Ugwuonye as a real hero.
 
One last word please; any Nigerian who was defrauded by his attorney in the US, but would shun the US jurisprudence and run to EFCC to lock up the person he has accused, is looking for something other than justice!  This is not yet obvious to a mind as deep and sharp as Seyi’s, makes me shudder – with fear for Nigeria’s well-being.
 
Thanks.

[1] The fact is that Seyi is not a lawyer.
[2] Seyi is 57 years. Let him point at any single case where he ever faced a judge and announced his appearance as counsel. Just one such case in his life time, and I will apologize to him. 
[3]Seyi is just like any other commentator on yahoo group. He can keep pretending for as long as the unsuspecting and clueless people believe him. But he is not a lawyer. 
[4]By the way, how come that Seyi has no existence outside the yahoo group. Nobody here can come forward and say he ever saw anything written by Seyi Awofeso outside his yahoo group commentaries. 
[5] I welcome a vigorous debate. I respect intelligent opponents. But Seyi is neither. He is just a little kid in a theater with some adults. As the performers on the stage impress him so much, he begins his own sideshow on his seat believing that the attention of the audience would shift from the stage to his little corner. I challenge Seyi to prove me wrong. Let him show he is a lawyer in any form he wants.

Aduba: 
Don't waste you time trying to concede anything to Seyi. The fact is that Seyi is not a lawyer. What he does is exactly what Aluko does. They like to go to Wikipedia and copy some legal phrases and pretend to know the law. But when it comes to the hilt, they fall like a park of cards. Even Aluko did not know how to fill a standard form in a divorce court. He ended up checking a box that admitted that he abused his family members. What an irony. Those forms are meant for illiterates. But a whole Professor Aluko could not fill the form right. Give Seyi a similar form now and you will see the end of his legal knowledge. Aduba, you can fill those forms with your eyes closed. But Aluko and Seyi would check the wrong boxes despite their pretended intelligence.
If you can follow your common sense on these matter, you will be miles ahead of Seyi. Seyi is 57 years. Let him point at any single case where he ever faced a judge and announced his appearance as counsel. Just one such case in his life time, and I will apologize to him. So, why are we wasting time? Seyi is just like any other commentator on yahoo group. He can keep pretending for as long as the unsuspecting and clueless people believe him. But he is not a lawyer. Don't believe me: just check it out. Google him. Do anything you like, and you would never find a verifiable evidence that Seyi is a lawyer. It is also obvious given the amount of time he spends on this yahoo on my matter that the guy could not really be a lawyer. If Seyi was billing any clients even $100 an hour, he would not be able to waist $1000 equivalent of the 10 hours he spends on the yahoo group each day.
We can be as courteous as we like, but we must face the truth. Bu Seyi does not understand the international legal foundations for extraterritorial jurisdiction. Even a taxi driver (I don't mean the PH.D ones) understands the law better than Seyi. By the way, how come that Seyi has no existence outside the yahoo group. Nobody here can come forward and say he ever saw anything written by Seyi Awofeso outside his yahoo group commentaries. 
I welcome a vigorous debate. I respect intelligent opponents. But Seyi is neither. He is just a little kid in a theater with some adults. As the performers on the stage impress him so much, he begins his own sideshow on his seat believing that the attention of the audience would shift from the stage to his little corner. I challenge Seyi to prove me wrong. Let him show he is a lawyer in any form he wants.

HOW I SEE VICTORY FOR MR. UGWUONYE IN LAGOS COURT JUDGMENT
 The High Court Judge in Lagos declined jurisdiction on territorial grounds over Sola Adeeyo’s  EFCC-brought case of dupery against Emeka Ugwuonye, without precluding the EFCC refile of the case in another court, and, without precluding EFCC’s legal right to proceed on appeal. Declination of jurisdiction by the Lagos Court has no preclusive effect on the Claimant’s rights to either file a civil claim for his money in the United States or in Nigeria. So, since all those options remain open, nothing substantive or preclusive was decided by the Lagos High Court to amount to “victory” as announced by Emeka Ugwuonye
Seyi Olu Awofeso
 
Some of us were strong advocates for Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye during his incarceration in Lagos by both the Lagos Court and EFCC. My grounds for opposing the punishment was because I believed that the constitution allowed that the accused should be brought to court within 48 hours and charged and unless strong evidence of flight is available should be allowed to go on bail. I felt that Mr. Ugwuonye was not dealt a fair hand.
 
Now that Justice Balogun has ruled that his court does not have jurisdiction on the matter and that filing the case was an abuse of the judicial process, I actually see a major victory contrary to the position of Mr. Seyi Olu Awofeso.
 
I see two victories as a matter of fact. One is that EFCC at least, and possibly Mr. Sola Adeeyo, abused the Nigerian Judicial system. These were my understanding of Emeka’s position as he has always pleaded that the courts did not have jurisdiction. It is difficult to see how one could say that EFCC or Mr. Adeeyo won. It is also difficult to see how that could be a tie. So in the absence of a tie or a win for the other side it is difficult to see how Mr. Ugwuonye could not declare a victory.
 
I do not argue with lawyers on points of law but debate them on common sense. All my arguments above are based on common sense.
 
My second ground for seeing victory is that as of this May 30, 2012 Mr. Ugwuonye does not have to do anything. The ball has been kicked over by the court to Mr. Adeeyo’s court. The next move is all his own. Until he makes his next move and wins in that round victory belongs to Mr. Ugwuonye.
 
Mr. Awofeso could be right in saying that the current decision may not be the ultimate decision but I think he has jumped the gun. His has allowed his emotion to over rule his judgment. I think that we all need to allow the parties to make their moves before we can speculate on what the ultimate judgment would be.

Seyi Awofeso says that (sic) what happed means that the complainant Sola Adeeyo could now sue me civilly in Nigerian (?) or criminally and civilly in America. But that’s a very dumb thinking. First and foremost, private persons do not sue anybody anywhere criminally. Second, he could not sue me civilly in Nigeria because the jurisdictional issue would remain, whether civil or criminal.

Subject: The truth of Emeka Ugwuonye's announced victory
 
Dear Ezeana Achusim,
 
I cannot contradict your stated position that Bolaji Aluko’s son has benefitted from Emeka Ugwuonye’s crises. That is a fact which every honest netter here should admit. But it is less clear if there is therefore a nexus between Bolaji Aluko’s Vice-Chancellor appointment and Emeka Ugwuonye’s Embassy court case. You assert there is and so i suppose you’ll need provide the proof.
 
You have no doubt, of course, that i respect your views and i’ve stated that openly on these forums before now. The reason i respect your views is this: - you maturely avoid intentionally mis-representing anyone else’s views just for point-scoring argument.
 
I detected that trait in your writings and  liked it very much because that is my preferred and consistent standard of conversation on these forums.  
 
As example, whereas, none of the several thousand of netters here deviously re-interprets my post of yesterday to say i meant Sola Adeeyo as individual, could now sue Emeka Ugwuonye CRIMINALLY, Emeka Ugwuonye on his part went rogue, as usual, and mentally insensibly went on records today to lie that i said so.
 
Now, such a lying tongue repels me viscerally, and, i naturally have no truck with such a person.
 
For what i posted here is rather that the EFCC is not precluded by law from filing the same case in any other court which may be shown to have jurisdiction in Nigeria, whilst Sola Adeeyo is not precluded by the Lagos’ court ruling from suing for his debts by civil action either in the United States or in Nigeria – just to make clear that given those open options, "victory" is a wrong word to use.
 
Now, I flagged that example, still in respect for your own right and liberty to set store by Emeka Ugwuonye, whilst i be upfront with you so that you'll know where i stand.  
 
I normally sift posts of un-necessary slurs and ethnic sport so as to detect the gems of truth in them. I do so un-erringly; regardless who did the posting, because ethnic labels or slurs never colour my judgment.
 
That said, there can be no doubt that the Nigerian government and its institutions are corrupt. On that obvious point you made, you are perfectly right. But it should not have taken Emeka on his own part a court case for $1.55million tax refund to blow the whistle if indeed he knew that obvious fact all along.
 
Honesty does not depend on convenience or monetary gain. It is a habit Emeka Ugwuonye either has or doesn’t.
 
I am on records to have stated here on these forums that Emeka Ugwuonye is entitled to a good reputation; but he has to earn it, all by himself. Where his reputation for honesty is on trial, truth by proof is the only solution he has. Casting insults about instead, as he does, are ultimately un-availing.
 
Hence, i stated this morning that "success for Emeka Ugwuonye" in the context of his reputation trial, means he has to obtain three (3) separate court judgments showing: 
 
  • that Saharareporters lied against him for reportedly converting the Nigerian Embassy 1.55million tax refund; 
  • that the Embassy lied against him for suing for the same 1.55million tax refund which the Nigerian Embassy is not lawfully un-entitled to receive from him,
  • that he violated no law in Nigeria for seizing and spending the Nigerian Embassy funds at will in the circumstances he described in his defensive pleading in the U.S District Court for D.C, even if the 1.55million dollars tax refund was to be classifiable as government revenue under the EFCC Act. 
Success means making a showing on those three (3) counts to restore his beleagured reputation. On those three counts, Emeka Ugwuonye is still very far from seeing any success because success does not include celebrating a judicially denied opportunity to answer Sola Adeeyo’s case of dupery by a court declining jurisdiction.
 
My position has not changed on any of these well-considered points.
 
With usual esteem,
Seyi Olu Awofeso

Seyi:
 
Victory or no victory, the case between Adeoye and Emeka has no business in a Nigerian court. The two should take their wahala to America where the mess went down. Nobody I know ever argued that Adeoye should never have his day in court. All we said is that Nigerian court is not the place. 
 
Would you believe Adeoye, who I presume is Emeka's friend, agreed tacitly that this case belongs in the American courts. How do I know this? You may wonder if I was in court. Yes. Adeoye showed up in the Nigerian court with nothing as evidence for a "trial".  Meaning he will be ready for a trial in the US. Get it?
 
Let me tell you. Aluko, Sowore and Ambassador rag tag are evil people. They turn normal and decent people into monsters that they are not. And what is transpiring should be a wake up call for all Nigerians world wide. Learn to tell a sucker NO, I refuse to do it, even if my life depended on it. What justice could Adeoye not get in the US by his lone self that the three suckers could get for him in Nigeria? In the process, they unsuccessfully tried to demonize Adeoye. He did not cooperate in the EFCC charade. 
 
Here. A whole country, the giant of Africa, could not wage a court battle in a US court, after the giant of Africa alleged that an Igbo attorney overpaid himself for purported services. Folks. The giant of Africa could not face a lone citizen in a US court. Again, Aluko, Sowore and the rag tag ambassador sought to demonize and disgrace the giant of Africa by shifting the case to Nigeria, where EFCC can charge and bail an Igbo fetus for any crime. Again, no one had the sense to say NO, if you can't prove your case in America, leave EFCC and Nigeria image out of it. Mrs. Waziri and EFCC had so many corruption cases drowning them. But they had room to add yet another case, because Aluko and Sowore and the rag tag ambassador had to get the Igbo. 
 
Look. Let me tell you about the three. I don't refer to them ever as Yoruba. Because millions of Yoruba regard their actions as absurd. Nigeria has this little Igbo boy in court in America. Why bring the case to EFCC that most Yoruba have openly criticized as a cesspool? I maintain that the trio do not represent any tribe. They represent the evil folks who wreak havoc in Nigeria. 
 
For Aluko's participation, he got a double reward. Of all the Nigerian attorneys in the US, and I mean, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, both first and second generation, Aluko's son was miraculously selected to replace Emeka. Let Aluko show his son's cv and let see how that compares to those of other Nigerian attorneys who were never considered. 
 
Aluko was appointed a VC. It was reported that the rag tag ambassador used the appointment as a reward for his role in putting Emeka in the EFCC dungeon. Somebody should challenge his appointment in a Nigerian court. If the appointment is not tainted, let a Nigerian court rule so. Without this challenge, Aluko serves as VC with a cloud of innuendoes. Not good for anybody. 
 
I often say that there is something good in things evil. And I always look for the good in everything. Good or evil. And guess what? I always find good in everything. Nigerians have been craving for a revolution. The evil acts of the few may have provided the spark. And we better not let the spark die. 
 
Come with me. Bank of America and Wells Fargo bank froze Nigerian embassy bank accounts because the embassy is suspected of money laundering. Is the US justice department involved? How about diplomatic immunity? Remember Ibori and London? Bank of America and Wells Fargo bank are about to do for us what we could not do. That our embassy may have been involved in money laundering. Let us follow the case. Thanks to Aluko and co. If Emeka was not stuck in EFCC dungeon in Lagos, the US justice department may not have taken a second look at how corrupt the guys who run your country are. Your money jumps out of your country into the embassy account in the US. Then grows wings, and flies off. Who knows for how long. As in London, foreigners finally said, wait a minute. And froze the accounts. 
 
Sowore was fond of mesmerizing you all with sensational reporting. $20 billion  villas and N20billion this and that. He has not been doing that lately. Because he is a fraud, when you read his deposition. Getting grants from Ford Foundation with spurious documents. Getting asylum because he was being persecuted by Nigeria and yet visiting Nigeria. Criticizing Nigeria as evil and yet joining Aluko and rag tag ambassador in showing that Nigeria should be believed when they locked up Emeka in an EFCC jail with malaria mosquitoes. 
 
Somebody wondered if the revolution has started. Emeka is suing Nigeria in a US court. Forget for a moment his ethnicity. Think of him only as a Nigerian. You and I should be interested in reading the deposition of guys behind the lawsuits. Under oath. Mrs. Waziri. Rag tag Ambassador. Aluko. 
 
In the meantime, let us celebrate the Nigerian judiciary. Since 2006, I have been writing that the judiciary will rise to the occasion whenever. And they have never disappointed us. 
 
And I am

I was nauseated because i expected the more mature forumites here to at least pause and ask: what was decided as justice for Sola Adeoyo complaining to have been duped by Emeka Ugwuonye?
 
None of the victory dancers here asked that basic question. That was nauseating as shameful, and further signals a certain immorality long instilled in the minds of several netters here.

Today’s discussion doubtless impairs the reputation of all the victory dancers without exception.

Dear Mr Awofeso, I just wanna overstand this understanding well well. Because in declaring a declaration of victory when victorious, one must comprehend the circumstance that brings out the circumstances enabling one to do an Nkpokiti egungun dance.

So with not much tadu about natting, all those nkpokiti egungun dance old man Ezeana and his Uzoma sidekick were doing were wasted?
Yeparipa! Sango Jesu Mohammed save man oooo.

Ezeana, you are not smart at all at all.
I warned you to leave the dance of shame to Uzoma, you no hear. See?

Dear Chief Adey,
 
Let me now dispose of this issue once and for all. Firstly, seeing or reading the ruling of the Judge is not  even required to reach the firm lawyerly conclusion i reached and stated here with absolute certainty and without any equivocation whatsoever; that in any ruling on territorial jurisdiction arising on a preliminary objection, and before a trial commences, a High Court Judge has no power to issue a ruling to preclude a refile in any other court, if he strikes out the case for want of territorial jurisdiction.
 
A strike-out for want of territorial jurisdiction does not preclude re-filing the same case in any other court outside the Lagos State judiciary.
 
A strike out of a case is not a victory for any party. It is merely as simple as the Judge saying in plain English that “go to a court that has the legal authority to apply the law to the facts”.
 
With usual esteem,
Seyi

Suyi Chei......You have been doing Belle Rubbing dance with Afis ooOoooo.............I am not nauseated  at all
This tells you something OooooOo.


Why did you then not advice you uncle baba Suwe Femi of EFCC and your Cousin Amb Adewusi that Lagos has no Jurisdiction over this case?

They wanted to execute the flimsy plan of holding Prof Ugwuonye hostage long enough for the Washington DC case be awarded to them because of no show.

It did not happen....he got the deposition..that opened the door to point fingers to sources of Embassy leaks to Sowore..!!!.
You are yet to comment on Sowores deposition and findings......I am waiting.

It is great to win..then..seat back and watch the other side do the punch shuffle...which we  have been reading indeed.

What is Victory?......When you get what you set out to get..not a wish..!!!!

The case in Lagos is over..Victory secured.....!!...

Go to another venue in Nigeria..the outcome will still be the same...Victory against Adewusi and the gang on Adeayo Wachovia robber in Lagos.

Look at what your people have done to EFCC......They cannot even convict a molue conductor on purse snatching in Obalande.

Prof Ugwuonye should now,,after a while institute a N4bn claim against EFCC in Washington DC for unlawful imprisonment. They have assets that must be confiscated if the fail to show up.  they will never have accounts on any US Banks again till they pay up.

That Boggs LLP will be asking for more monies to help them out.

We are watching.... and dancing over our victory

We won...!!!

Dear Daniel Elombah,
 
Your conceding error below is the standard of high intellectual mark – which is missing on these forums, for the most part. I’ll be remiss not to flag it and commend you for that modesty of spirit, if for several years i have myself stated here that intellectual strength does not include infallibility.
 
Now, to the question you ask, which is a recast of Nebukadineze’s own question, the answer is yes. Providentially, i will omit the citation for my answer lest i gave free legal advice in public domain.

Ok Sir, I am sorry for putting acquit there.
 
I withdraw the word acquits, but are you impeaching the essence of the argument.
Could someone discharged for want of jurisdiction in a Lagos High Court be re-arraigned on the same facts in an Anambra High Court or the FCT?

Dear Daniel Elombah,
 
You are confused on the issues here. The evidence of your confusion is in your use of the word “acquits”. Nothing near an acquittal occurred in this case but a discharge on a preliminary objection for lack of territorial jurisdiction. A discharge for lack of territorial jurisdiction in Nigerian criminal law is a rough equivalent of “a dismissal without prejudice” in United States Civil procedure; permitting a case refile in a competent court.

"Are you implying that it is legally permissible for EFCC to recharge an accused person and re-arraign him/her at another state court, on the same criminal complaint that was dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction, without double jeopardy applying? Or are you arguing that it is a federal case and will now be taken to a Federal court, even though the case was dismissed? Neither proposition is legally permissible, well, unless in Nigeria." - Nebukadineze Adiele
 
Frankly speaking, I tire for Seyi!
So if the AG Anambra arraign Seyi for assault, and the Anambra High Court discharges and acquits him, The AG, Lagos could arraign Seyi, on the same charge of assault before the Lagos High Court or the AGF do so before FHC Abuja?

Dear Seyi,
 
Are you implying that it is legally permissible for EFCC to recharge an accused person and re-arraign him/her at another state court, on the same criminal complaint that was dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction, without double jeopardy applying? Or are you arguing that it is a federal case and will now be taken to a Federal court, even though the case was dismissed? Neither proposition is legally permissible, well, unless in Nigeria.
 
If the Lagos High Court judge dismissed the case for lack of territorial jurisdiction, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos state. Since Nigeria is the territory a judge declared has no jurisdiction over the case, no other court in Nigeria, including federal courts, has jurisdiction. Whether the judge was correct or not is a different matter, so it is only the overturning of this judges ruling can this case ever be brought back to any Nigerian court-- unless the judge specifically said that the case belongs in federal courts.
 
It is unethical, and possibly criminal, for prosecutors to go shopping for favorable courts when arraigning accused persons. When a prosecutor arraigns an accused at the wrong court and the case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, double jeopardy sets in. So your catchy phrase, "It’s federalism; Nebukadineze, nothing befuddling," would have been meaningful only at the onset of this case. If this is a federal case why did the EFCC take it to a state court? Or don't you think that there is a consequence for taking a case to the wrong court and having it DISMISSED? It is difficult now to be dismissive of any accusation of persecution by Emeka and his supporters. 
 
I repeat the underlining point to my argument. If this case was dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos. As as result of that, this case can never be refilled in Nigeria unless a higher court overturns this judges's ruling.
 
Since you reside in Lagos, Seyi, can you do us a favor and obtain the court's actual decision? Without that, of course, we are merely indulging in abstract jaw-jawing for now.
 
I thank you.

Come on Seyi, let us show some grace sometimes. If the case was thrown out for a lack of territorial jurisdiction, how can it be refilled again in Nigeria without double jeopardy applying? Unless the judge stated otherwise, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos. In other words, the judge was saying, take the case to the US where the incident allegedly occurred.
 
Emeka can never be brought back to a criminal court again in Nigeria over this matter unless this judge's ruling was overturned on appeal -- an almost impossibility because judges have sufficient discretion on deciding jurisdiction matters.
 
I believe that Emeka and his supporters have all along been wondering why the claimant did not sue to recover his money in the US, in all the years he claimed to have been swindled. Your observation here, that the claimant could still file a civil claim in US courts was what Emeka and his supporters asked when this matter came up last year.
 
My dear Seyi, something substantive did happen in that court yesterday. To have a criminal case thrown out against someone, whether by technicality or not, is a big deal and one does not have to be an Emeka Ugwuonye's supporter to acknowledge that. He won big and that might be a prelude to what will happen in the other cases. As an officer of the court, it is incumbent upon you to correct Afis' minimizing of Emeka's victory in court.
 
I thought I should point that out. I thank you, my friend.

Seyi Olu Awofeso,

You confessed you were not around when these things happened. I was part of the Petition so I will speak on that.

It was simply asking the federal government to protect the fundamental human rights of Emeka Ugwuonye.

The protection of the rights of any citizen is the business of government. Fortuitously that Petition got rid of a corrupt EFCC Chair. It was a great albeit feeble blow against evil that is entrenched in Nigeria.

Cheers.

I respect your views as expressed, and, surely no one here can impede your liberty to hold and impart your opinions, based on your experiences in life. Yes, you are absolutely right that i neither saw the rhyme nor the rhythm in doing a public petition for the liberty of a person that’s already been judicially admitted to bail. I was not part of such counter-intuitive petitory endeavor. You are right too that the Judge in Lagos today reportedly declined jurisdiction on territorial grounds, inter alia, without precluding a EFCC refile of the case in another court, and, without precluding EFCC’s legal right to proceed on appeal.

Dear Mr Awofeso, you are right. No one shows interest in EFCC vs Emeka Ugwuonye.
I only got involved on the tail of it when Emeka Ugwuonye was arrested, detained and spent about 3-4months in prison. I got involved ONLY to discourage Yoruba people from signing a petition on behalf of the detained accused co-mingler called Emeka Ugwuonye.
I think if my memory served me right, Mr Awofeso was never part of it. And my memory says I was successful in dissuading majority of Yoruba from participating in a journey to nowhere.In fact less than 10 Yoruba signed the petition.
The Hausawa says "inasi baa shau".Igbos don't appreciate friendship. They don't even like themselves.You heard Ezeana proudly announced he used to sue Inyanminrins for fun since 1984. You would think by now the 80< /font>yr old fool Ezeana would have remorse.
If you save an igbo's life today, if you accidentally run over his fowl tomorrow he will sue you.
Won ko moo oore. They don't recognize kindness.
They see other's kindness towards them as either entitlement, sign of weakness on the part of the giver or the giver is mungunized due to Igbo's super brain.
So those who drafted the petition were Good people but they don't know Igbos.

Elombah, your Naija judiciary is a criminal enterprise. If anyone ask you, say it is I, Afis, that said so. Since when has a Nigerian court convict a criminal? Did you think Emeka Ugwuonye posted his pictures prior to putt verdict without knowing what the verdict will amount to? Hey, keep fooling yourself. How many criminals or alleged thieves like Emeka Ugwuonye have been convicted by Naija courts or successfully prosecuted by EFCC? Adoke the attorney general-in-crime, had released dozens of alleged embezzlers like Emeka Ugwuonye. So what the hell are you patting yourself and Naija on the back for? That letting another go is justice? Una no well. Shikena, afis Sent from Yahoo! Mail on my iPad

Remember this judgement was supposed to have been given last Friday, but typical of EFCC's bungling incompetence, and their penchant for presuming jurisdiction where none exists, something dramatic happened.
Those that boast of contacts inside the EFCC should ask them what happened in Court that day, who says our judiciary knows not the law?
In fact, when discussing what happened in court three days ago, we (the discussants) agreed that the Nigerian judiciary is the best in the world once there is no interference from the executive or from these stinkingly rich politicians. So my brother Felix, who would have bought this judgement? The EFCC or Emeka? Lol!!!
On Friday, the Judge simply asked one question, and the lawyers in court, even in the EFCC camp knew they've lost the case.

The judiciary, no matter how you feel, ruled as it should. It did not rule that Emeka was guilty or not guilty of the purported crimes. The judiciary merely ruled that the Nigerian government should charge Emeka in the US, where the crimes purportedly occurred. What then is not noble about that ruling?

The big deal is that, unlike Ibori, Emeka did not buy the judgement. It was based on the merits of the case.

MAZI VIN,
I agree with you that both AWO and Abiola are birds of no feather ,but i will chip in something here ,that was what happened when ABIOLA met AWO in Hell.
Did i tell us that SATAN build a different Hell for Awo the Lowo ?,then Satan wanted to crown ABIOLA AARE KAKANFO OF HELL and the following ensured..
AWO -that small Boy should not be Aare Kakanfo of Hell ,AFTER ALL he is a speach impeded randy goat..
Abiola : ddiiiiiiiddddid i randy your wife ?,we all know that you lost your balls in Calabar prison when you went to jail for the 3rd time on treasonable felony......besiiiiiideee in all your life ,nobody gave you any chieeefffftancy title.

Awo;you are a lier ,i did not lose my balls in Calabar prison ,i became sterile because of the juju i did against that Bearded young man called OJUKWU......so i am telling you that ,i JEREMIAH AWOLOWO i am more equipped to become the Aare of Hell ,after all i was trained by an igbo trader when my father threw my mother away and accuse her of awure.

Abiola :seeee thaaaatttttttttttttt  ? ,i am smarter than you ,i sponsored coups all over Africa and you go to jail for coups you never sponsored.I was named Bashorun ,i was the Aare Kakanfo and you were crowned what ?,,EX-CONVICT 

Awo ;this speach impeded idiot ,when i was fighting for independent where were you ?

Abiola: shhaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppp ,did you know how they fought for Independent ? ,it was that TOO KNOW ZIK who just added your name ,so that yoroba will support him ,the only thing you have fought for is your life when you ran away from ABA TOWNSHIP STADIUM when you went to campaign there and they stone you with Tomatoes and rotten eggs.

Awo;i cannot stand here and take insult from you ,after all i was the one that used starvation to kill more than 5 million igbo children ,i was the one that confiscated thier money and gave them 20 pounds ,,i was the trully Hero of Yoroba not you..

Abiola;;;iiiitttt maybe true and thaaatt waasssssss why your generation was buried with you,because you killed women and children ,while i marry women and make babies..

SATAN stepped in and shouted ,,,,two of you should shaarrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaappppp ,both of you cannot stay in my kingdom ,,Abiona abi na Abiola ,i hereby sentence you to NORTHERN MALI to continue what you do best --SPONSOR COUP AND CAUSE WAHALA like june 12..

Bro Odera

You held my hand and walk through the garbage dumps with stinking contents from both sides..!!!

There is no disagreement.

They are both screw masters with style...with intent of becoming Nigerian President at all cost....they failed.

remember when I wrote below....do you want me to continue.......say yes...I will continue.

You just mentioned a few.....
*Do not forget the ApoHall screw Ball
*Awo and his starvation plot
*The Money confiscation
*The bakassi give away
*The PH houses give away
*The killing of Banjo because Banjo was going to outshine him is West was liberated from hausa....which created the Obasanjo war

They srew each other

*Look at what he did to Akintola.
**I hope you remember how he wanted Gowan to kill Obasanjo ..that Obasanjo was a civil war sympathizer..!!!..He sent Wole Soyinka...this is why Wole Boy and Obasanjo can never have a meeting of the mind on any issue.

*** remember how he killed one young man during the war..then made his brother the AG..as a shut-up gift . No one is trying to remember.

**Remember that Awolwoos father abandoned his mother with this street roaming toddler... and Awolowo was brought up by IGBO trader...We did we get HATE...screw ball.  he admitted to it. It was the IGBO trader that gave him the name Jeremiah...!!!

*** Did you know that before he died..His family secretly invited Ojukwu to lagos and tried to make Gen Ojukwu the Chairman Broad of Director to oversee his will?,,he did not make this known to Afanifere.!!!..When the news leaked..He called the scam a foundation he was setting up.

** He tried to screw Bola Ige too.
* Tried to deny Bola Ige a governorship slot....the same guy who ran his Biafra Blockade and starvation campaign.........thus..Bola Ige struck out on his own. The rest is present day history. He tried to make up with Obasanjo. he got got FEd appointments. But Bola Ige tried , in turn, on his own to screw Obasanjo the President...OH BOY.

** he AWO..screwed ZIk by carpet crossing.
** He crewed Buhari..and he got house arrest...but..Abiola came to his rescue... with Babangida coup against Buhari.

** Remember how Awolo screwed all yoruba when hen he took over Odua  Investments then took their properties private...that killed illepeju. 

When they tell you wait...run into the bush

I have some more....when I came back from afternoon mosque prayers..I will tell you about the other srewball

They deserve each other.


They will tell you that I do not know what I am talking about ...I shine light in dark places.....They never knew of these my revelations indeed.

Mazi Vin,
I disagree with you that Abiola out matched AWO but do not take my words for it ,just come with me..
 [1] Awo the Lowo did not left behind offspring to carry on his devious blood letting ,while Abiola left behind a platoon of bastards ,many are yet to be uncovered.

[2]Abiola shedded local and other african blood ,because of many coups he sponsored but Awo the Lowo only help in killing igbo children because he saw them as nemesis and that maybe why he never had offspring to hold brief for him.

[3]Awo the lowo was able to con ngbati people into beleiving that he is fighting thier cause ,while Abiola was back stabbed by Obas in Yoroba land when he was dancing around june 12 ,OOni of ife and other collect all the collectibles from Abacha.

 [4]Abiola got his own kins man Shonekan to screw him ,while Awo simply committed suicide in his own bathroom.

So with the above fact ,i concur that UNILAG should be renamed AWOLOWO or AbiAwo university ,the good news is that since Ngbati stabbed us ,everything that will make Ngbatiland a place with history must be bastardise ,check all the federal left behind ,they have changed them all and new generation will think Lagos is just a village left behind..next NATIONAL THEARTE should be named IKEMBA OJUKWU and that ara agbaa ndi ara.

fellows
I find myself tellin a tale of two tapes.

Abiola is better than Awo in many ways than one..they matched...by more than Unilag


[1]
Abiola was a billionaire
Awo was not.

[2]
Abiola was a coup sponsor but never went to jail for it
Awo was a coup plotter that went to jail 3 times for it

[4]
Abiola claimed presidency he never won and died in jail for it.
Awo wanted to be president..died unhappy seeking the office

[5]
Abiola was a back stabber who swindled friends and enemies including Arthur Nzeribe and Awo
Awo was a swindler who scammed Ojukwu and  Gowan to seek the office of nigerian Presidncy.

[6]
Abiola has Unilag under his name also the Polytechnic
Awo has Unife under his name

[7]
Abiola was Asiwaju
Awo was not

[8]
Abiola was Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land.The Grand Army Commander of oduduwa
Awo was not.

[9]
Abiola got wife donations from Obas
Awo did not

[10]
Abiola was loved by oduduwa when he was alive
Awo was not.

[11]
Abiola did not wedge war  in yoruba land and between states.
Awo wedged war and killed rivals ..the least " operation wette"...including the '83 Ondo massacre.

[12]
Abiola got army boys to do what he wanted...they even swapped activities
Awo begged army boys for help.

[13]
Abiola scammed the FED for monies
Awo scammed western states for monies.

[14]
Abiola looked for duns.. hausa general.. to make him president but that killed him....before he could buy his way.
Awo looked for weak  hausa to displace ...take over as president..that failed ...he could not win any election....only by appointment.


do you want me to continue.......say yes...I will continue.

These two people

Subject: Canadian Firm signs MoU with Abia State Government to build Mono-rail system!
cosmosoluchukwu
Send Email Send Email
 
The face of transportation in Abia State is set to change as a Canadian
firm,Globim Corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the
Abia State Government to build monorail system of transportation to connect Aba
and Umuahia.
Chairman of Globim, Dr Jude Igwemezie, who led a delegation to yesterday to seal
the MoU, said their firm specializes in the construction and management of
monorail.
According to him, the project would cost $1.6 billion and would be entirely
funded by the firm as Abia government would only be required to provide the
land, security and manpower. He said when it becomes fully operational, the
monorail would generate 4,000 jobs in Abia and 20, 000 jobs across the
Southeast.
Also,  aside from providing commuters an efficient and alternative means of
transport, the monorail, which would be built to run at a height of nine metres,
would eliminate road hazards like accidents and robbery.
Igwemezie explained that the company was interested in introducing the monorail
transportation system in Abia and other cities in the Southeast zone and
eventually the entire Southeast would be connected with monorail integrated mode
of transportation.
He said Globim had already secured approval to build monorail in Onitsha, Enugu
and Calabar and assured the governor that they will provide the funding and
expects the government to provide labour and security to them.
Governor Theodore Orji, who was visibly elated over the prospect of having the
monorail running in his state, said after signing the MoU that the novel project
was much acceptable to his government.

Mr Ojudokun

What makes me shudder even more is that Ibori's REAL ACCOMPLICES, namely: Bola Tinubu and Victor Attah (Bola Tinubu and Victor Attah were Ibori's partners in the V-Mobile scam, one of the crimes for which Ibori was jailed.)are still parading the corridors of power and gallivanting around the country as paragons of democratic virtues unlike their partner-in-crime Ibori who is now rotting away in Belmarsh, where he and all otherslikehim deserves to be - like we say in the office: If you do the crime, do the time!

I also really shudder, that the people who refused to touch Tinubu with a very long spoon in 2011 are now wining and dining with him - so much so that Tinubu who as much as admitted that Jonathan won the 2011 fair and square is now retracting because of the looming alliance with the man of absolute integrity -Buhari.

Tinubu's alleged crimes have not stopped my upright brother, Joe Igbokwe working for Tinubu the same way that Eluemunor worked for Ibori.

Now What am I saying?

That we should look at Tony's message below, and not the messenger....and what is the message?

1.We are living witnesses to some self-serving nastiness but we have chosen to shut our eyes and minds to them - to our collective detriment. Saharamalreporters would ever be terribly in the wrong if they would gather Aluko or any other interested party'sopinion against a sworn enemy and fraudulentlybroadcast same as pure veritas. And yet, the same malreporters who claim to be fighting corruption would corruptly enrich themselves from swindling well-meaning organizations such as the Ford Foundation, through fraudulent claims, even after getting visas on false pretences. And nuhu Ribadu would get the Sowores a chance to mount the same rostrum with my own teacher, the great Chinua Achebe, to denounce corruption. Achebe was simply used and dumped; since Ribadu and El-Rufai got the chance to return to Nigeria, have they remembered to organize anything near the Achebe symposium?Bah!!!,419 seldom comes in such hellish forms

2. Any Nigerian who was defrauded by his attorney in the US, but would shun the US jurisprudence and run to EFCC to lock up the person he has accused, is looking for something other than justice!

Subject: [talkhard] Re: ||NaijaObserver|| MEGA CHALLENGE FROM Emeka Ugwuonye TO SEYI

Dear All,
I must state fromthe very beginning that I know Seyi Awofeso as a journalist. He worked for the Guardian newspaper groupin its glorious days. He has also worked in top editorial positions at THISWEEK magazine, the Insider (confidential publication) and the Grapevine - all defunct now.
I also know that he is actually a lawyer. He may have actually worked in the Legal Department of Albarka Airlines, again now defunct.
Yet, what I do not know is what pushed Seyi toimply that a case which a Lagos High Court struck out for want of territorial jurisdiction could ever be brought back to any High Court in Nigeria. I am not a lawyer, yet I know that a State High Court in Nigeria is a court of record, and unless the EFCC DEFEATS Dr.. Emeka Ugwuonye at the Court of Appeal level, the matter is dead and closed!
And if Ugwuonye opposed EFCC over territorial jurisdiction, then he did win some awesome victory. It is not just because victory is victory and is victory that I say so, but because here is a man that had been labeled a criminal in these internet fora, without even allowing the case to finish, here was a man that was denied bail, locked up in solitary confinement (if I remember correctly), etc.
What I really find baffling here is why Seyi and others who share his position, have been blind to the real veritas in this instant occasion; that it should have been suspected by the lawyers in EFCC that the case before them and against Ugwuonye MIGHT lack territorial jurisdiction, yet, they threw everything they had into it and against the man.
Seyi has asked us to call attention to the fate of the man who accused Ugwuonye of defrauding him; but even as much as an accuser may have some rights, and claims, so too does the person he has accused have certain basic rights too. What Seyi and his co-travelers on that curious route of his forgot so trenchantly is the fact that just as there is the chance that Ugwuonye's accuser may have been defrauded, so too the chance exists that he COULD be a false accuser!
Then, if we factor in Bolaji Aluko's allleged influence on the case, then there is the great need to worry if ever there is some truth in that allegation. If there is, then there isa very, very great need to worry for it could mean that anyone that has the attention of any who could muster any force within the EFCC could get anyone to be declared wanted. What that would mean about Aluko's personality is another matter altogether. But as I said, we still dwell at the level of conjecture on this issue.
We are living witnesses to some self-serving nastiness but we have chosen to shut our eyes and minds to them - to our collective detriment. Saharamalreporters would ever be terribly in the wrong if they would gather Aluko or any other interested party'sopinion against a sworn enemy and fraudulentlybroadcast same as pure veritas. And yet, the same malreporters who claim to be fighting corruption would corruptly enrich themselves from swindling well-meaning organizations such as the Ford Foundation, through fraudulent claims, even after getting visas on false pretences. And nuhu Ribadu would get the Sowores a chance to mount the same rostrum with my own teacher, the great Chinua Achebe, to denounce corruption. Achebe was simply used and dumped; since Ribadu and El-Rufai got the chance to return to Nigeria, have they remembered to organize anything near the Achebe symposium? Bah!!!, 419 seldom comes in such hellish forms
And it is this expose against Saharamalreporters that has cast Ugwuonye as a real hero.
One last word please; any Nigerian who was defrauded by his attorney in the US, but would shun the US jurisprudence and run to EFCC to lock up the person he has accused, is looking for something other than justice! This is not yet obvious to a mind as deep and sharp as Seyis, makes me shudder with fear for Nigerias well-being.
Thanks.

Chei ,i have to highlight the challenge and hope that SEYI will slam Emeka an upper cut ,the internet trial is about to begin
[1]The fact is that Seyi is not a lawyer.
[2]Seyi is 57 years. Let him point at any single case where he ever faced a judge and announced his appearance as counsel. Just one such case in his life time, and I will apologize to him.
[3]Seyi is just like any other commentator on yahoo group. He can keep pretending for as long as the unsuspecting and clueless people believe him. But he is not a lawyer.
[4]By the way, how come that Seyi has no existence outside the yahoo group. Nobody here can come forward and say he ever saw anything written by Seyi Awofeso outside his yahoo group commentaries.
[5]I welcome a vigorous debate. I respect intelligent opponents. But Seyi is neither. He is just a little kid in a theater with some adults. As the performers on the stage impress him so much, he begins his own sideshow on his seat believing that the attention of the audience would shift from the stage to his little corner. I challenge Seyi to prove me wrong. Let him show he is a lawyer in any form he wants.

Aduba:
Don't waste you time trying to concede anything to Seyi. The fact is that Seyi is not a lawyer. What he does is exactly what Aluko does. They like to go to Wikipedia and copy some legal phrases and pretend to know the law. But when it comes to the hilt, they fall like a park of cards. Even Aluko did not know how to fill a standard form in a divorce court. He ended up checking a box that admitted that he abused his family members. What an irony. Those forms are meant for illiterates. But a whole Professor Aluko could not fill the form right. Give Seyi a similar form now and you will see the end of his legal knowledge. Aduba, you can fill those forms with your eyes closed. But Aluko and Seyi would check the wrong boxes despite their pretended intelligence.
If you can follow your common sense on these matter, you will be miles ahead of Seyi. Seyi is 57 years. Let him point at any single case where he ever faced a judge and announced his appearance as counsel. Just one such case in his life time, and I will apologize to him. So, why are we wasting time? Seyi is just like any other commentator on yahoo group. He can keep pretending for as long as the unsuspecting and clueless people believe him. But he is not a lawyer. Don't believe me: just check it out. Google him. Do anything you like, and you would never find a verifiable evidence that Seyi is a lawyer. It is also obvious given the amount of time he spends on this yahoo on my matter that the guy could not really be a lawyer. If Seyi was billing any clients even $100 an hour, he would not be able to waist $1000 equivalent of the 10 hours he spends on the yahoo group each day.
We can be as courteous as we like, but we must face the truth. Bu Seyi does not understand the international legal foundations for extraterritorial jurisdiction. Even a taxi driver (I don't mean the PH.D ones) understands the law better than Seyi. By the way, how come that Seyi has no existence outside the yahoo group. Nobody here can come forward and say he ever saw anything written by Seyi Awofeso outside his yahoo group commentaries.
I welcome a vigorous debate. I respect intelligent opponents. But Seyi is neither. He is just a little kid in a theater with some adults. As the performers on the stage impress him so much, he begins his own sideshow on his seat believing that the attention of the audience would shift from the stage to his little corner. I challenge Seyi to prove me wrong. Let him show he is a lawyer in any form he wants.

HOW I SEE VICTORY FOR MR. UGWUONYE IN LAGOS COURT JUDGMENT
The High Court Judge in Lagos declined jurisdiction on territorial grounds over Sola Adeeyos EFCC-brought case of dupery against Emeka Ugwuonye, without precluding the EFCC refile of the case in another court, and, without precluding EFCCs legal right to proceed on appeal. Declination of jurisdiction by the Lagos Court has no preclusive effect on the Claimants rights to either file a civil claim for his money in the United States or in Nigeria. So, since all those options remain open, nothing substantive or preclusive was decided by the Lagos High Court to amount to victory as announced by Emeka Ugwuonye
Seyi Olu Awofeso
Some of us were strong advocates for Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye during his incarceration in Lagos by both the Lagos Court and EFCC. My grounds for opposing the punishment was because I believed that the constitution allowed that the accused should be brought to court within 48 hours and charged and unless strong evidence of flight is available should be allowed to go on bail. I felt that Mr. Ugwuonye was not dealt a fair hand.
Now that Justice Balogun has ruled that his court does not have jurisdiction on the matter and that filing the case was an abuse of the judicial process, I actually see a major victory contrary to the position of Mr. Seyi Olu Awofeso.
I see two victories as a matter of fact. One is that EFCC at least, and possibly Mr. Sola Adeeyo, abused the Nigerian Judicial system. These were my understanding of Emekas position as he has always pleaded that the courts did not have jurisdiction. It is difficult to see how one could say that EFCC or Mr. Adeeyo won. It is also difficult to see how that could be a tie. So in the absence of a tie or a win for the other side it is difficult to see how Mr. Ugwuonye could not declare a victory.
I do not argue with lawyers on points of law but debate them on common sense. All my arguments above are based on common sense.
My second ground for seeing victory is that as of this May 30, 2012 Mr. Ugwuonye does not have to do anything. The ball has been kicked over by the court to Mr. Adeeyos court. The next move is all his own. Until he makes his next move and wins in that round victory belongs to Mr. Ugwuonye.
Mr. Awofeso could be right in saying that the current decision may not be the ultimate decision but I think he has jumped the gun. His has allowed his emotion to over rule his judgment. I think that we all need to allow the parties to make their moves before we can speculate on what the ultimate judgment would be.

Seyi Awofeso says that (sic) what happed means that the complainant Sola Adeeyo could now sue me civilly in Nigerian (?) or criminally and civilly in America. But thats a very dumb thinking. First and foremost, private persons do not sue anybody anywhere criminally. Second, he could not sue me civilly in Nigeria because the jurisdictional issue would remain, whether civil or criminal.

Subject: The truth of Emeka Ugwuonye's announced victory
Dear Ezeana Achusim,
I cannot contradict your stated position that Bolaji Alukos son has benefitted from Emeka Ugwuonyes crises. That is a fact which every honest netter here should admit. But it is less clear if there is therefore anexus between Bolaji Alukos Vice-Chancellor appointment and Emeka Ugwuonyes Embassy court case. You assert there is and so i suppose youll need provide the proof.
You have no doubt, of course, that i respect your views and ivestated that openly on these forums before now. The reason i respect your views is this: - you maturely avoid intentionally mis-representing anyone elses views just forpoint-scoring argument.
I detected that trait in your writings andliked it very much because thatis my preferred and consistent standard of conversation on these forums.
As example, whereas,none of the several thousand of netters here deviously re-interprets my post of yesterday to say i meant Sola Adeeyo as individual, could now sue Emeka Ugwuonye CRIMINALLY, Emeka Ugwuonye on his partwent rogue, as usual, and mentallyinsensibly went on records today tolie thati said so.
Now, such a lying tongue repels me viscerally, and, i naturally have no truck with such a person.
For what i posted here is ratherthat the EFCC is not precluded by law from filing the same case in any other court which may be shown to have jurisdiction in Nigeria, whilst Sola Adeeyo is not precluded by the Lagos court ruling from suing for his debts by civil action either in the United States or in Nigeria just to make clear that given those open options, "victory" is a wrong word to use.
Now, I flagged that example,still in respect for your own right and liberty to set store by Emeka Ugwuonye,whilst i beupfront with you so that you'll know where i stand.
I normally sift posts of un-necessary slurs and ethnic sport so asto detect the gems of truth in them. I do so un-erringly; regardless who did the posting, because ethnic labels or slursnever colour my judgment.
That said, there can be no doubt that the Nigerian government and its institutions are corrupt. On that obvious point you made, you are perfectly right. But it should not have taken Emeka on his own parta court case for $1.55million tax refund to blow the whistle if indeedhe knew that obvious fact all along.
Honesty does not depend on convenience or monetary gain. It is a habitEmekaUgwuonyeeither has or doesnt.
I am on records to have stated here on these forums that Emeka Ugwuonye is entitled to a good reputation; but he has to earn it, all by himself. Wherehis reputation for honesty is on trial, truth by proof is the only solution he has. Casting insults about instead, as he does, are ultimately un-availing.
Hence,i stated this morning that "success for Emeka Ugwuonye"in the context of his reputation trial, meanshe has to obtain three (3) separate court judgments showing:
  • that Saharareporters lied against him for reportedly converting the Nigerian Embassy 1.55million tax refund;
  • that the Embassy lied against him for suing for the same 1.55million tax refund which the Nigerian Embassy is not lawfully un-entitled to receive from him,
  • that he violated no law in Nigeria for seizing and spending the Nigerian Embassy funds at will in the circumstances he described in his defensive pleading in the U.S District Court for D.C, even if the 1.55million dollars tax refund was to be classifiable as government revenue under the EFCC Act.
Success means making a showing on those three (3) counts to restore his beleagured reputation. On those three counts, Emeka Ugwuonye is still very far from seeing any success because success does not include celebrating a judicially denied opportunity to answer Sola Adeeyos case of dupery by a court declining jurisdiction.
My position has not changed on any of these well-consideredpoints.
With usual esteem,
Seyi Olu Awofeso

Seyi:
Victory or no victory, the case between Adeoye and Emeka has no business in a Nigerian court. The two should take their wahala to America where the mess went down. Nobody I know ever argued that Adeoye should never have his day in court. All we said is that Nigerian court is not the place.
Would you believe Adeoye, who I presume is Emeka's friend, agreed tacitly that this case belongs in the American courts. How do I know this? You may wonder if I was in court. Yes. Adeoye showed up in the Nigerian court with nothing as evidence for a "trial". Meaning he will be ready for a trial in the US. Get it?
Let me tell you. Aluko, Sowore and Ambassador rag tag are evil people. They turn normal and decent people into monsters that they are not. And what is transpiring should be a wake up call for all Nigerians world wide. Learn to tell a sucker NO, I refuse to do it, even if my life depended on it. What justice could Adeoye not get in the US by his lone self that the three suckers could get for him in Nigeria? In the process, they unsuccessfully tried to demonize Adeoye. He did not cooperate in the EFCC charade.
Here. A whole country, the giant of Africa, could not wage a court battle in a US court, after the giant of Africa alleged that an Igbo attorney overpaid himself for purported services. Folks. The giant of Africa could not face a lone citizen in a US court. Again, Aluko, Sowore and the rag tag ambassador sought to demonize and disgrace the giant of Africa by shifting the case to Nigeria, where EFCC can charge and bail an Igbo fetus for any crime. Again, no one had the sense to say NO, if you can't prove your case in America, leave EFCC and Nigeria image out of it. Mrs. Waziri and EFCC had so many corruption cases drowning them. But they had room to add yet another case, because Aluko and Sowore and the rag tag ambassador had to get the Igbo.
Look. Let me tell you about the three. I don't refer to them ever as Yoruba. Because millions of Yoruba regard their actions as absurd. Nigeria has this little Igbo boy in court in America. Why bring the case to EFCC that most Yoruba have openly criticized as a cesspool? I maintain that the trio do not represent any tribe. They represent the evil folks who wreak havoc in Nigeria.
For Aluko's participation, he got a double reward. Of all the Nigerian attorneys in the US, and I mean, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, both first and second generation, Aluko's son was miraculously selected to replace Emeka. Let Aluko show his son's cv and let see how that compares to those of other Nigerian attorneys who were never considered.
Aluko was appointed a VC. It was reported that the rag tag ambassador used the appointment as a reward for his role in putting Emeka in the EFCC dungeon. Somebody should challenge his appointment in a Nigerian court. If the appointment is not tainted, let a Nigerian court rule so. Without this challenge, Aluko serves as VC with a cloud of innuendoes. Not good for anybody.
I often say that there is something good in things evil. And I always look for the good in everything. Good or evil. And guess what? I always find good in everything. Nigerians have been craving for a revolution. The evil acts of the few may have provided the spark. And we better not let the spark die.
Come with me. Bank of America and Wells Fargo bank froze Nigerian embassy bank accounts because the embassy is suspected of money laundering. Is the US justice department involved? How about diplomatic immunity? Remember Ibori and London? Bank of America and Wells Fargo bank are about to do for us what we could not do. That our embassy may have been involved in money laundering. Let us follow the case. Thanks to Aluko and co. If Emeka was not stuck in EFCC dungeon in Lagos, the US justice department may not have taken a second look at how corrupt the guys who run your country are. Your money jumps out of your country into the embassy account in the US. Then grows wings, and flies off. Who knows for how long. As in London, foreigners finally said, wait a minute. And froze the accounts.
Sowore was fond of mesmerizing you all with sensational reporting. $20 billion villas and N20billion this and that. He has not been doing that lately. Because he is a fraud, when you read his deposition. Getting grants from Ford Foundation with spurious documents. Getting asylum because he was being persecuted by Nigeria and yet visiting Nigeria. Criticizing Nigeria as evil and yet joining Aluko and rag tag ambassador in showing that Nigeria should be believed when they locked up Emeka in an EFCC jail with malaria mosquitoes.
Somebody wondered if the revolution has started. Emeka is suing Nigeria in a US court. Forget for a moment his ethnicity. Think of him only as a Nigerian. You and I should be interested in reading the deposition of guys behind the lawsuits. Under oath. Mrs. Waziri. Rag tag Ambassador. Aluko.
In the meantime, let us celebrate the Nigerian judiciary. Since 2006, I have been writing that the judiciary will rise to the occasion whenever. And they have never disappointed us.
And I am

Dear Chief Adey,
Let me nowdispose of this issue once and for all. Firstly, seeing or reading the ruling of the Judge is not even required to reach the firm lawyerlyconclusion i reached and stated here with absolute certainty and without any equivocation whatsoever; that in any ruling on territorial jurisdiction arising on a preliminary objection, and before a trial commences,a High Court Judge has no power toissue a ruling to preclude a refile in any other court, if hestrikes out the case for want of territorial jurisdiction.
A strike-out for want of territorial jurisdiction does not precludere-filing the same case in any other court outside the Lagos State judiciary.
A strike out of a case is not a victory for any party. It is merely as simple as the Judge saying in plain English that go to a court that has the legal authority to apply the law to the facts.

Go to another venue in Nigeria..the outcome will still be the same...Victory against Adewusi and the gang on Adeayo Wachovia robber in Lagos.

Look at what your people have done to EFCC......They cannot even convict a molue conductor on purse snatching in Obalande.

Prof Ugwuonye should now,,after a while institute a N4bn claim against EFCC in Washington DC for unlawful imprisonment. They have assets that must be confiscated if the fail to show up. they will never have accounts on any US Banks again till they pay up.

That Boggs LLP will be asking for more monies to help them out.

Dear Daniel Elombah,
You are confused on the issues here. The evidence of your confusion is in your use of the word acquits. Nothing near an acquittal occurred in this case but a discharge on a preliminary objection for lack of territorial jurisdiction. A discharge for lack of territorial jurisdiction in Nigerian criminal law is a rough equivalent of a dismissal without prejudice in United States Civil procedure; permitting a case refile in a competent court.

Neither proposition is legally permissible, well, unless in Nigeria." -Nebukadineze Adiele

So if the AG Anambra arraign Seyi for assault, and the Anambra High Court discharges and acquits him, The AG, Lagos could arraign Seyi, on the same charge of assault before the Lagos High Court or the AGF do so before FHC Abuja?
Na waoo!!!

Dear Seyi,
Areyou implyingthat it is legally permissible for EFCC to recharge an accused person and re-arraignhim/her at another state court, on the same criminal complaint thatwas dismissed for lack of territorialjurisdiction, without double jeopardy applying? Or are you arguingthat it is a federal case and will now be taken to a Federal court, even though the case was dismissed? Neither proposition is legally permissible, well, unless in Nigeria.
If the Lagos High Court judge dismissed the case for lack of territorial jurisdiction, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos state. Since Nigeria is the territory a judgedeclaredhas no jurisdiction over the case, no other court in Nigeria, including federal courts, has jurisdiction. Whether the judge was correct or not is a different matter, so it is only the overturning of this judges ruling can this caseever be brought back to any Nigerian court-- unless the judge specifically said that the case belongs in federal courts.
It is unethical, and possibly criminal, for prosecutors to go shopping for favorablecourts when arraigning accused persons. When a prosecutor arraigns an accused at the wrong court and the case is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, double jeopardy sets in. So your catchy phrase, "Its federalism; Nebukadineze, nothing befuddling," wouldhave been meaningful only at the onset of this case. If this is a federal case why did the EFCC take it to a state court? Or don't you think that there is a consequence for taking a case to the wrong court and having it DISMISSED? It is difficult now to be dismissive of any accusation of persecution by Emeka and his supporters.
I repeat the underlining point to my argument. If this case was dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos. As as result of that, this case can never be refilled in Nigeria unless a higher court overturns this judges's ruling.
Since you reside in Lagos, Seyi, can you do us a favor and obtain the court's actual decision? Without that, of course, we are merely indulging in abstract jaw-jawing for now.
I thank you.

By self-training fostered by reasoning, i find it easy to detect the logic of a viewpoint and to appreciate it forall the thinking behind it. I thushad no difficulty seeing your own viewpoint, even though i rightlydis-agree with it, because no state Judge can make an order for the entire federal territory of Nigeria or for that matter; decide theterritorial jurisdiction of the federal high court under Nigerian law.

Come on Seyi, let us show some grace sometimes. If the case was thrown out fora lack of territorial jurisdiction, how can it be refilled again in Nigeria without double jeopardy applying? Unless the judge stated otherwise, the territory in question is Nigeria, not Lagos. In other words, the judge was saying, take the caseto the US where the incident allegedly occurred.
Emeka can never be brought back to a criminal court again in Nigeria over this matter unlessthis judge's ruling was overturned on appeal -- an almost impossibility because judges have sufficient discretion on deciding jurisdiction matters.
I believe that Emeka and his supporters have all along been wondering why the claimantdid not sue to recoverhis money in the US, in all the years he claimed to have been swindled. Your observation here, that the claimant could stillfile a civil claimin US courts was what Emeka and his supporters asked when this matter came up last year.
My dear Seyi, something substantive did happen in that court yesterday. To have a criminal case thrown out against someone, whether by technicalityor not,is a big deal and one does not have to be an Emeka Ugwuonye's supporter to acknowledge that. He won big and that might be a prelude to what will happen in the other cases. As an officer of the court, it is incumbent upon you to correct Afis' minimizing of Emeka's victory in court.
I thought I should point that out. I thank you, my friend.

Seyi Olu Awofeso,

You confessed you were not around when these things happened. I was part of the Petition so I will speak on that.

It was simply asking the federal government to protect the fundamental human rights of Emeka Ugwuonye.

The protection of the rights of any citizen is the business of government. Fortuitously that Petition got rid of a corrupt EFCC Chair. It was a great albeit feeble blow against evil that is entrenched in Nigeria.

Cheers.

Dear Afis,
I respect your views as expressed, and, surely no one here can impede your liberty to hold and impart your opinions, based on your experiences in life. Yes, you are absolutely right that i neither saw the rhyme nor the rhythm in doing a public petition for the liberty of a person thats already been judicially admitted to bail. I was not part of such counter-intuitive petitory endeavor. You are right too that the Judge in Lagos today reportedly declined jurisdiction on territorial grounds, inter alia, without precluding a EFCC refile of the case in another court, and, without precluding EFCCs legal right to proceed on appeal. Declination of jurisdiction by the Lagos Court has no preclusive effect on the Claimants rights to either file a civil claim for his money in the United States or in Nigeria.

Dear Mr Awofeso, you are right. No one shows interest in EFCC vs Emeka Ugwuonye.
I only got involved on the tail of it when Emeka Ugwuonye was arrested, detained and spent about 3-4months in prison. I got involved ONLY to discourage Yoruba people from signing a petition on behalf of the detained accused co-mingler called Emeka Ugwuonye.
I think if my memory served me right, Mr Awofeso was never part of it. And my memory says I was successful in dissuading majority of Yoruba from participating in a journey to nowhere.
In fact less than 10 Yoruba signed the petition.
The Hausawa says "inasi baa shau".
Igbos don't appreciate friendship. They don't even like themselves.
You heard Ezeana proudly announced he used to sue Inyanminrins for fun since 1984. You would think by now the 80< /font>yr old fool Ezeana would have remorse.
If you save an igbo's life today, if you accidentally run over his fowl tomorrow he will sue you.
Won ko moo oore. They don't recognize kindness.
They see other's kindness towards them as either entitlement, sign of weakness on the part of the giver or the giver is mungunized due to Igbo's super brain.
So those who drafted the petition were Good people but they don't know Igbos.

Did you think Emeka Ugwuonye posted his pictures prior to putt verdict without knowing what the verdict will amount to? Hey, keep fooling yourself. How many criminals or alleged thieves like Emeka Ugwuonye have been convicted by Naija courts or successfully prosecuted by EFCC? Adoke the attorney general-in-crime, had released dozens of alleged embezzlers like Emeka Ugwuonye. So what the hell are you patting yourself and Naija on the back for?

The hint that this case will be dismissed came last Friday. Remember this judgement was supposed to have been given last Friday, but typical of EFCC's bungling incompetence, and their penchant for presuming jurisdiction where none exists, something dramatic happened.
Those that boast of contacts inside the EFCC should ask them what happened in Court that day, whosaysour judiciary knows not the law?
In fact, when discussing what happened in court three days ago, we (the discussants) agreed that the Nigerian judiciary is the best in the world once there is no interference from the executive or from these stinkingly rich politicians. So my brother Felix, who would have bought this judgement? The EFCC or Emeka? Lol!!!
On Friday, the Judge simply asked one question, and the lawyers in court, even in the EFCC camp knew they've lost the case.

The judiciary, no matter how you feel, ruled as it should. It did not rule that Emeka was guilty or not guilty of the purported crimes. The judiciary merely ruled that the Nigerian government should charge Emeka in the US, where the crimes purportedly occurred. What then is not noble about that ruling?

"As an observer and sometimes commentator, the anger expressed in some quarters on these fora go beyond attempt to recover less than $100k for a kin. The not so vague corruption of using public prosecutorial discretion to service private interest where other meaningful recourses exist is not lost on anybody. " -Hope Umannah


Nnaa, the thing no taya you? Some people think the audience is blind, but we are NOT. The use, as you eloquently phrase it, of "
public prosecutorial discretion to service private interest where other meaningful recourses exist" is exactly the kind of corruption that brought Nigerian to its knees.

People who have no respect for public institutions and processes, and who think the EFCC and ICPC are to be used as witch-hunting tools are not only undermining the rule of law and eroding the confidence of the people, but looting public resources for private vendetta.

Let us also note, in case anybody has forgotten, that Ugwuonye is facing similar cases in the US as he has in Nigeria. In the United States, he has so far NOT spent one minute in jail. Not ONE minute! And no one can say that the Americans do not enforce their laws.

In Nigeria, on the other hand, he has already spent a total of SEVEN unbelievable months in jail, sometimes in extreme conditions including solitary confinement, with torture, and intimidation.

Seven months in jail, for a man who has NOT been convicted of any crime, and is not accused of anything exotic.
Seven months away from work and livelihood!
Seven months away from clients!
Seven months away from his children.
Seven months in which the liberties of a full fledged citizen were embezzled not by law but my obvious malice abusing law enforcement resources.

And mind you, two of those months in jail were spent on account of a crime where the Judge has rightly refused jurisdiction.

And yet, after this, some folks still want the EFCC to waste more of the public's money in pursuance of private interest and vendetta!! Like, seriously??

What kind of a people are?

I can not help but agree with Ralph Nwokike that "It is because ofwhom we have become lately in the 21st Century-disgruntledset of people that see no rationalityto treating ourselves fairly and respectfully as Citizens, that is why this type of shameless actions are taken by our government on all of us."

Umana Umana,

Yours is the best tour de force on this one not solely because you agree to stand by me to test the law but also by your sober reflection.

Let me calm your alarmist position first. Robbery with firearms or any weapon in Nigeria is a crime punishable by death. The quantum of the proceeds of the crime is not an element. If you violently snatch my bag and shoot or threaten me with a dagger or a pistol in the process you get death notwithstanding your finding N5 or N5m in my bag.

That is totally different from theft sans violence or 419 obtaining by false pretences. I hope we are clear on that?

Now your differentiation of jurisdiction and venue is masterly. Do you agree that since Abuja was the first place he entered Nigeria, he can be tried in the Federal High Court Abuja?

Since the Lagos judge denied jurisdiction, should the EFCC not go to the right venue?

Now Umana Umana conversion of Clients monies is both a crime, and a tort and given that it is rampant among Nigerian lawyers should the crime be left un-prosecuted?

I will not crucify Seyi for asking another High Court Judge to relist the case as long as there is a new element to press. I would not do it personally but will go to Shaki High Court or Ilaro High Court or return to Abuja High Court. A good reason would be if the High Court Judge never considered S.64 of the CPA LFN at all.

Now let us narrow the issues we both agree upon.

1. The subject matter if it happened in Nigeria is a crime;
2. This ruling deserves to be appealed!
3. Jurisdiction is different from venue. If for instance the subject matter is not a crime under the laws of Nigeria and the Court declines jurisdiction on that basis, the proper order is a dismissal and not a strike out;
4. If the order is a mere strike out, the Honourable Judge considered his Court as the wrong venue and did not preclude re filing in the right venue; and
5. It is important to get clarity and finality in the law.

Cheers.

Subject: Re: [NIgerianWorldForum] Re: NigerianID | Mr. Ugwuonye's Lagos Criminal Case ...

My good friends.
I am somewhat troubled reading some of what has been opined here on this matter of jurisdiction, and attendant consequences. Why I am troubled, I will state later, but first to the procedural law opinion.
Some of the legal opinions advanced here have been abstract without relation to the facts of this particular matter. This alleged accused was first accosted in Abuja and taken to Lagos to be arraigned, even as he had a case on going in Abuja. (See why the conspiracy theory folks have some sympathy) So now that same prosecutor will then forum shop again to Oyo state HC? That is not how it works lest the government oppress all of us to death by rampant prosecutorial abuse. Except Justice Balogun is overturned on appeal, jeopardy has attached in Nigerian TERRITORY.
As the cited procedural law states, an offence abroad or in the high seas may be prosecuted at initial venue or where else the accused is presented. It is not and .... If the initialvenue declines totry the offenseon territorial jurisdiction grounds, then secondary venues cannot assume jurisdiction without more. In that sense it is a victory for the Ugwuonye boosters.
I noted before that Nigeria has one jurisdiction and however many states, FCT and FHC venues.
Certainly, jurisdiction can be assumed in the US courts to try the matter criminally, if at all. Top dollar wager that it wont happen. Certainly, there are civil options open to the alleged victim. (His civil options in Nigeria are narrow as they may be subject to jurisdictional defense also or forum non convenience defense, and possibly limitation defense) (His US civil options are subject to limitation defense and concerns of malicious prosecution counter-claim). He certainly may be able to overcome some or all of these and get to the merits.
Why am I troubled? In three respects.
One. I was enjoying Mr. IBK's legal analysis (thoroughly disagreeing but respecting his point of view) until he offered his 'free legal advise' to Lamorde. A run away and less than ethicalEFCC may want to take him up on it. That in my opinion would be prosecutorial misconduct of the most odious kind. But we are dealing with Nigeria where standards are victim to hubris. The very thought of that kind of experimentation at the expense of somebody's life or liberty should concern any lawyer who has ever defended anybody. Why would IBK think that appropriate, for the sake of legal development? Suggest to Lamorde to file the case, seek judicial summons (not arrest), not oppose release on personal recognisance and I would stand with you to 'test case' your jurisdictional proposition for the sake of 'developing' the law.
Two. Mr. Seyi, the lawyer-journalist, who did not convince me earlier by failing to demonstrate for me how his jurisdictional theory would work in practical application to this Ugwuonye alleged crime, shock me even more by doubling down and moving the goal post even more when he stated that even the Lagos Court could still assume jurisdiction in the case. That kind of second bite of the apple would mean trying (and retrying) one case in one venue until the judges tire andcapitulate to the government. What would change to confer jurisdiction on the same court that fully briefed, vettedand then ruled to decline territorial jurisdiction.
Three. As this matter was gestating in this forum, some random news article came across. Ordinarily, you just scream and mutter inanities about how dim we as Nigerians are, including some of us who should arguably be sophisticated having lived in (or have been exposed to) so called civilised societies for 'donkey years' as my dear 80+ old mum would say. However, it set me thinking and my alarm bells set off. Am I the only crazy one or is it conceivable that this fellow Ugwuonye may be facing 'DEATH BY HANGING.' Is that why these folks are fighting so hard and simulating this legal and procedural gymnastics? As an observer and sometimes commentator, the anger expressed in some quarters on these fora go beyond attempt to recover less than $100k for a kin. The not so vague corruption of using public prosecutorial discretion to service private interest where other meaningful recourses exist is not lost on anybody. Arise oh compatriots.
Let us hope we do not forum shop to the venue that sent those three to hang for theft of less than 200k Naira. No!!! It must be my O'douls.
With profound regards.

Dear IBK:
I am assuming that the concept of collateral estoppel as an aspect of res judicata was clearly explained in the Arkansas case I cited.
I will reiterate again that there is no res judicata in the sense of an acquital, but every court inNigeria trying to exercise original jurisdiction in the criminal case involving Mr. Ugwuonye and Mr. Adeoye as charged before Justice Balogun will be collaterally estopped from exercising jurisdiction. I am refeing to the following sentence from your citation to Nigerian law to explain the concept.
Section 64E appears to be the most relevant of the two sections you cited. In pertinent part, it states that: "An offence committed . . .elsewhere out of Nigeria, which, according to law, may be tried or inquired into in Nigeria, may, subject to provisions of section 58 of this Act, be so tried or inquired into at any place in Nigeria to which the accused person is first brought, or to which the accused may be taken thereafter." (Emphasis added)I don't have access to Section 58 but as you can see from the highlighted portions, there are many prerequisites to the exercise of jurisdiction. The first is whether such offense committed out of Nigeria may be tried or inquired into Nigeria according to law. This is very crucial because this provision immediately calls into question whether extraterritorial jurisdiction principles will allow such an offense to be inquired into in Nigeria according to law. It follows that if extraterritorial jurisdiction principles bar such trial or inquiry, then there will be no jurisdiction, which was what appears to have happened in this case.
The second crucial factor which will bar any other court in Nigeria from exercising original jurisdiction is the provision related to the venue where the trial or inquiry may take place. If an inquiry is made in the place where the accused person is first brought and the ruling is that extraterritorial jurisdiction bars such inquiry or trial, then any other court to which the accused is thereafter taken will be bound by the collateral estoppel principle of bar by extraterritorial jurisdiction already deceided by a court of competent jurisdiction where the accused was first taken. Let me show you how illogical a contrary interpretation will be: Suppose that Mr. A comitted a crime in the USA, and is first brought to a Lagos court which rules that according to law, such offense may not be tried or inquired into in Nigeria (not Lagos State), then a zealous prosecutor says No, I am going to recharge Mr. A in Oyo state, and the Oyo State court rules that the offense for which Mr. A was charged could not be tried or inquired into in Nigeria according to law, and yet another zealous prosecutor says, No, bothe Lagos and Oyo state courts were wrong, I am going to refile in Kwara State because there is a saving clause that allows courts to which the accused person may be taken thereafter, and the Kwara State court rules exavctly the same way as the Lagos and Oyo State Courts, at what point in your view do you think that it is time to say enough is enough, or would the prosecutor in your view still be abble to go round the 36 states to see where they can find luck? IBK, that is where the concept of collateral estoppel will step in and say that since a court of competent jurisdiction has already ruled that such an offense may not be tried or inquired into in Nigeria according to law, no other court in Nigeria purporting to exercise original jurisdiction may pass on the same issue. THAT IS COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL for you my friend.
Don't confuse what I am saying with res judicata or double jeopardy in general. None of thos will apply because the merits of the underlying charge were never inquired into, but to the the extent that another court in Nigeria tries to assume original jurisdiction over the same issue as Justice Balogun has ruled on, then double jeopardy for that limited purpose will apply. All that Justice Balogun has done is to say, go to a more appropriate place, but not in Lagos or Nigeria and resolve your case. If you also think about it for a second, what stops another court in LagosState,using your argument from saying, you know what,my learned brother, Justice Balogun erred, but I, Justice KBI will assume jurisdiction and try the case because the accused was taken thereafter to my court. Of course a judge and prosecutor could do something like that, but it will be so absurd that even the goddess of justice will quickly open her eyes and mouth and ask the prosecutor and judge what they are doing. They will also be able to do that if they think that there is nothing in place to check their excesses but in a civilized society where there are consequences for actions, no sane Judge or prosecutor will want to do something like that.
My friend, it has been a opportunity to learn and as lawyers, we must be open to new insights and I have found this discussion interesting. However, before we "kill" ourselves for nothing, let us leave this matter because the accussed Mr. Ugwuonyehas been "discharged" from that particular charge and probably does not give a monkey's arse over what we think. I am sure that the day they will re-arrest him for the same Adeoye charges, you will be among the first to shout "o tio, e don do"
Cheers and so long my friend, with usual esteem (Mr. Awofeso I greet you).
Sincerely,
George E. Omoko, Esq.

Dear George Omoko,
This matter was never litigated on its merits. All that happened was a Judge striking it out for lack of jurisdiction. The Accused has not been tried at all. All the issues raised in your case revolve around trials and sundry issues that attend a trial. In a simple litigated issue, both sides are never right in all respects. The Court must endeavour to interpret the law for a final decision as per the issues litigated by the parties. I want you to please read what I paste below from the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria - Criminal Procedure Act, and tell me what you think:
"SECTION 64 (D) & (E) OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE ACT CAP. C41 LFN 2004 -:
OFFENCES COMMITTED ON A JOURNEY
SECTION 64 (D) -:
An offence committed while the offender is in the course of performing a journey or voyage, may be tried or inquired into by a court in or through or into the division or district of whose jurisdiction the offender or the person against whom or the thing in respect of which the offence was committed resides, is or passed in the course of that journey or voyages.
OFFENCES COMMITTED AT SEA OR OUT OF NIGERIA
SECTION 64 (E) -:
An offence committed at sea or elsewhere out of Nigeria, which, according to law, may be tried or inquired into in Nigeria, may, subject to provisions of section 58 of this Act, be so tried or inquired into at any place in Nigeria to which the accused person is first brought, or to which the accused may be taken thereafter."
After reading the above, do you think that a Judge should decline jurisdiction?
If you are the Lawyer of EFCC and you plead this before the High Court of Oyo State, a competent Judge and a competent Court can try Emeka Ugwuonye for whatever crimes he is purported to have committed in USA.
I await your further comments on this.
Cheers.

Dear IBK:
No water was muddied. Read again the concepts of double jeopardy, res judicata, and collateral estoppel as explained in the case cited. Nigeria is a common law country and you will notice that the Arkansas case discussed common law implications of those concepts. You can see my learned friend that law is not easy because if after reading the case below, you still feel I muddied the waters, what about our friends who have no legal training?
No body is arguing about what the ultimate issue is, the argument is about jurisdiction. For purposes of responding to you, jurisdiction has a double implication in this matter. One is the jurisdiction of the court over the person of Mr. Ugwuonye, which was not an issue once Mr. Ugwuonye appeared before the Judge and was granted bail and continued to show up for the hearings. The more perplexing jurisdiction issue was the jurisdiction of the court to hear the charges brought against Mr. Ugwuonye. That aspect of jurisdiction called into question the concept of extraterritorial reach over "crimes" committed within/outside the jurisdiction of the court and in this case, the jurisdiction was Nigeria. Justice Balogun ruled in effect that no Nigerian court can decide those charges against Mr. Ugwuonye.
I believe I saw references to abuse of process by Justice Balogun. Now it is not ethical that a member of the Bar like yourself should then offer free advice to EFCC to appeal and re-arrest Mr. Ugwuonye and shop for jurisdiction. The Prosecutor has ethical duties as well because s/he does not reprresent prosecution witnesses but is there to see that justice is done. That is why here in the USA, prosecutors lose their jobs for withholding evidence favorable to an accused, because the prosecutor's job is not to procure a conviction at all costs. I hope my learned friend that you will reconsider your free advice to EFCC in light of the foregoing.
IBK (permit me to call you that as I think of you as a friend), collateral estoppel means that on the issue of a court in Nigeria to try Mr. Ugwuonye for the same Mr. Adeoyo related crime, Justcie Balogun has already termed it as an abuse of process based on lack of jurisdiction. Another Nigerian Judge taking up the case is not improbable, but that will just add to the catalogue of ammunitions to laugh at the Nigerian justice system. I hope for everyone's sake that the EFCC lawyers don't continue the impression, rightly or wrongly, that it is a tool of oppression.
Well, my friend, the Bible says woe to lawyers because they overburden others with load that they will not touch with their fingers. I am sure that you know that coming to Nigeria to face trials is not easy, so why would you wish that Mr. Ugwuonye be re-arrested for what a Nigerian Judge has said was an abuse of process? Fair is fair and though I disagreed with Mr. Ugwuonye in his approach to Mr. Sowore's deposition, it was borne out of the fact that I wanted both the defense and plaintiff's effort to be robust, but as you know, 10 lawyers may have 10 views of the same matter. Our jurisprudence will develop if all hands are on deck. On this issuebefore Justice Balogun, that is a done deal and no court in Nigeria should entertain that matter as an original matter except for appellate purposes.
I rest my case (Vicious, na you own be dat)
Cheers (IBK, na youbiko)
So long! ( e be like say na my own be dat)

Dear George Omoko,

You have muddied the waters further by generating more heat and little illumination.

The issue in Emeka's case is theft. The ultimate issue is whether he stole or not.

Christopher Balogun J's decision is that he declines jurisdiction because the cause of action that is the basis of the crime or the transaction from whence the crime emanated happened in USA.

Now, if EFCC re arrests Emeka and they charge him in the High Court of Oyo State before John Bull J who then decides after the Judgment in the case before Christopher Balogun is placed before him that:

1. He has jurisdiction because the victim and the accused are Nigerians;
2. Had the transaction occurred in Nigeria, it would have been a crime under Nigerian law;
3. He is not bound by the ruling on jurisdiction by a High Court of another state; and
4. Since the merits of the case has not been adjudged, there is no, 1. Res Judicata, Issue Estopell, and Collateral Estopell.

Now George Omoko you will see that all your long (useful academic jurisprudence from USA) is useless in determining the case at hand.

If I was Larmorde, just to test the law and gain clarity, I will immediately file a notice of Appeal in the Federal Court of Appeal and re arrest Emeka and charge him in the Oyo State High Court.

If the Oyo State High Court declines jurisdiction, then I will pursue the appeal. If it assumes jurisdiction, then I will withdraw the appeal and proceed with the trial.

This is how the law grows and is evolved.

I hope anyone here who knows Lamorde can send him this simple free opinion.

Cheers.

Gentlepersons:
There ought to be no confusion and the attendant angry discussions all over the place regarding the proper scope of Hon. Justice Christopher Balogun's judgment on the issue of Mr. Ugwuonye, if only we would focus on the appropriate legal concepts.
Both proponents and detractors are correct if only they would use the proper legal concepts. Since this new case does not involve the Sowore matter, which I said I would not contribute any further, it is important that as an attorney, I do the best to focus the discussion on the judgment of Hon. Christopher Balogun in the proper context. Lawyers should be open to learn everyday and I am about to introduce two concepts for the benefit and discussion by attorneys who have opined on this particular issue as well as any person learned enough to understand the concepts.
The two concepts that that have caused confusion in the way the judgment, which either side can use to support their position are RES JUDICATA and COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL. These concepts though similar have different meanings and an understanding of both concepts will show that Justice Balogun's judgment is not res judicata but would have collateral estoppel effect on the issue of jurisdiction. Although res judicata and collateral estoppel generally apply in civil cases, they also apply in criminal cases. Double jeoprady applies to criminal cases.
I am going to refer to an Arkansas Supreme court case that discussed RES JUDICATA, COLLATERAL ESTOPPEL,AND DOUBLE JEOPARDY to try and get every one moving in the right direction and also to underscore that, depending on which concept you choose to apply, you can join Mr. Ugwuonye in celebrating, or join in critisizing him for celebrating. The Arkansas decision touched on common law and because Nigeria is a common law country, those discussions are persuasive for the purpose of understanding the judgment of Hon. Justice Christopeher Balogun. BOTTOM LINE FOR NOW IS THAT FOR NOW, MR UGWUONYE IS FREE OF LEGAL IMPEDIMENTS AS FAR AS THE CASE BEFORE HON. JUSTICE BALOGUN IS CONCERNED.
Since many people think that law is easy and can criticise lawyers, you would have to take the pains to read through the Arkansas decision and after reading through, next time a lawyer writes anything, spare a thought for what they have to go through.
Without further ado, here is the case ofMason v. State, 206 S.W.3d 869, 361 Ark. 357 (Ark., 2005)
JIM HANNAH, Chief Justice.
Clifton Mason appeals his convictions for first-degree terroristic threatening and first-degree battery by means of a firearm. Mason argues that there is insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction for terroristic threatening. Mason also asserts that this court must reverse his conviction for battery under collateral estoppel or the issue-preclusion arm of the doctrine of res judicata and Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2) (Repl.1997) because his prior acquittal on a charge of possession of a firearm by certain persons prohibited the State from again litigating a crime requiring possession of a firearm.
We hold that there was substantial evidence in support of the conviction for terroristic threatening and affirm on that charge. With respect to battery by means of a firearm, the State argues that the elements in the earlier trial and the elements in this trial on the battery charge differ, precluding the application of collateral estoppel or issue preclusion. Accordingly, we hold that issue preclusion of res judicata and Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2) precluded the State from attempting to prove in the present trial that Mason possessed a firearm where an earlier jury decided that Mason did not possess a firearm at the time the crimes were alleged to have occurred. We reverse and remand on this charge. Our jurisdiction is pursuant
Page 872
to Ark. Sup.Ct. R. 1-2(b)(1) and (6) because this case involves issues of first impression and interpretation of an act of the General Assembly.
Facts
According to the testimony of Jackie Johnson, he and his wife, Latonia Johnson, were in their home February 6, 2002. They were up late cooking for expected company and playing cards. Both Jackie and Latonia testified that Diane Crutchfield came to their house between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on February 7, 2002. According to Jackie, Crutchfield came by because Crutchfield wanted company, and, according to Latonia, Crutchfield came by because she was scared and wanted the Johnsons to accompany her back to her house. Latonia also recounted that Crutchfield wanted to retrieve some money from her house and then return to the Johnson home. Both Jackie and Latonia testified that Mason had been living at Crutchfield's home for about a month at that point.
About 5:00 a.m., the Johnsons and Crutchfield took a cab to Crutchfield's house, but found all the doors locked when they arrived. Jackie and Latonia testified that Mason let them in the house by a side door, and Latonia testified that Crutchfield cussed at Mason and told him to go to a back room, which he did. Both Jackie and Latonia testified that the two of them and Crutchfield went to the den and stayed there for about half an hour. According to Latonia, she told Crutchfield to check on Mason because he was being too quiet. According to Jackie, Crutchfield went on her own to check on Mason. According to Jackie, Crutchfield asked him to accompany her, and he did. Jackie testified that when they got to the room, Mason asked, "Why you bitches back here?" Jackie further testified that Mason then became agitated and pulled a pistol.
Latonia testified that after Jackie and Crutchfield went to check on Mason, she heard a commotion, went back to the room, and saw Mason holding a gun. Jackie told the jury that at this point, Crutchfield turned and began to leave, and that he did the same, but that Mason shot him first in the wrist and then in the back as he tried to get away. Latonia testified that she saw these events as well, and that after Jackie went outside, Mason followed him out onto the porch and was still shooting at him. Jackie recounted the same, testifying that Mason grazed his neck with a shot as he and Crutchfield ran across the yard.
According to Latonia, after shooting at Jackie, Mason came back inside, where Latonia was hiding in the dining room, and found her. Latonia told the jury that Mason was holding the gun up at her, and that she grabbed the barrel. Latonia testified that she held onto the barrel, throwing Mason on the dining table, where he said, "Oh bitch, get your ass on out. Come on, get on up out of here." Latonia stated that she continued to hold onto the barrel and pulled Mason out the back door, where she fell on the steps. She also testified that Mason hit her on the head with the gun. Latonia then stated that Jackie came back, and Mason said, "I'm fixing to kill you." Jackie testified that he heard Mason saying to Latonia, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you," and that Latonia was saying, "Please don't shoot me. Please don't shoot me." Marie Holmes, a neighbor, testified that she saw a man chasing a woman with a gun and heard him threaten to kill her. Both Jackie and Latonia testified that Mason then followed them outside for a time and had the pistol in his possession. The Johnsons testified
Page 873
that they then went inside a house and called 911.
Mason was accused of causing injuries to Jackie and Latonia. He was charged in Count I with battery in the first degree by means of a firearm for the injuries to Jackie, in Count II with battery in the first degree by means of a firearm for the injuries to Latonia, in Count III with possession of a firearm by certain persons, and in Count IV with terroristic threatening in the first degree. On May 10, 2002, Count III, the charge of possession of a firearm by certain persons was severed. On August 13, 2002, the State moved for a continuance to have sufficient time to obtain information on Mason's former out-of-state convictions; the motion was granted as to Counts I, II, and IV. This meant that Count III, possession of a firearm by certain persons, was tried first. That trial resulted in a not-guilty verdict. Based on this verdict, Mason moved on November 12, 2002, that Counts I, II, and IV be dismissed, based on collateral estoppel and Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2)(Repl.1997). The motion was denied, and the circuit court noted that the issue was subject to the "Blockburger test."1 Count II was dismissed by the circuit court pursuant to Mason's motion for a directed verdict.
Terroristic Threatening
Mason argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for terroristic threatening. The test for determining the sufficiency of the evidence is whether the verdict is supported by substantial evidence, direct or circumstantial. Smith v. State, 352 Ark. 92, 98 S.W.3d 433 (2003). Substantial evidence is evidence forceful enough to compel a conclusion one way or the other beyond suspicion or conjecture. Id. When a defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence convicting him, the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the State, and only evidence supporting the verdict will be considered. Id.
The evidence in the case before us showed that Mason came out of the back room of the house, and that everyone fled from him. Latonia engaged in a physical fight with Mason in which she was forced out the door and fell on the steps to the porch. During the course of this fight, Mason was reported to have said, "Oh bitch, get your ass on out. Come on, get on up out of here," as well as, "I'm fixing to kill you." Jackie testified that he heard Mason saying to Latonia, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you," and that Latonia was pleading for her life. Also, the neighbor, Marie Holmes, testified that she saw Mason chasing a lady and heard him threaten to kill her.
A person commits first-degree terroristic threatening if, with the purpose of terrorizing another person, he or she
Page 874
threatens to cause death or serious physical injury or substantial property damage to another person. Ark.Code Ann. 5-13-301(a)(1)(A)(Repl.1997). See also Proctor v. State, 349 Ark. 648, 79 S.W.3d 370 (2002). Mason threatened to cause death and made the threat in the course of a physical attack on Latonia, Jackie, and Crutchfield. Thus, there was a threat, and, as required, it was communicated to the victim Latonia, in this case directly by Mason. See Smith v. State, 296 Ark. 451, 757 S.W.2d 554 (1988); see also Knight v. State, 25 Ark.App. 353, 758 S.W.2d 12 (1988). It also must be a threat intended to terrorize. Id.
Evidence that a person is in a fight, is being forced out of the house, is threatened with death, and pleads for her life constitutes substantial evidence in support of a conviction for first-degree terroristic threatening because there is substantial evidence that the necessary threat was made, as well as an intent that the victim be terrorized by the threat. See Sanders v. State, 326 Ark. 415, 932 S.W.2d 315 (1996). We affirm Mason's conviction and sentence for terroristic threatening.
Former Decision on Possession of a Firearm by Certain Persons
Mason alleges that his conviction for battery in the first-degree by means of a firearm must be reversed based on res judicata, specifically under the collateral estoppel2 or issue-preclusion facet of res judicata. Mason asserted that it was determined in his prior criminal trial for felon in possession of a firearm that he did not possess a firearm at the time of the events at issue in this case; and, therefore, the State may not again try to prove that he possessed a firearm.
In criminal cases, a bar to prosecution is most often based on double jeopardy principles. The application of principles of res judicata in criminal cases is less common. The application of res judicata has a confused and checkered history and merits a detailed discussion, because the principles of double jeopardy are sometimes confused with res judicata and improperly included in discussions of res judicata. We take this opportunity to clarify the application of res judicata in the criminal law.
"The concept of res judicata has two facets, one being issue preclusion and the other claim preclusion." Carwell Elevator Co. v. Leathers, 352 Ark. 381, 388, 101 S.W.3d 211 (2003). See also Huffman v. Alderson, 335 Ark. 411, 983 S.W.2d 899 (1998). The term res judicata has sometimes been used to refer only to claim
Page 875
preclusion;3 however, issue and claim-preclusion are distinct legal concepts. East Texas Motor Freight Lines, Inc. v. Freeman, 289 Ark. 539, 713 S.W.2d 456 (1986). "Under claim-preclusion, a valid and final judgment rendered on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction bars another action by the plaintiff or his privies against the defendant or his privies on the same claim." Searcy v. Davenport, 352 Ark. 307, 310, 100 S.W.3d 711 (2003). Under issue preclusion, a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction on matters which were at issue, and which were directly and necessarily adjudicated, bars any further litigation on those issues by the plaintiff or his privies against the defendant or his privies on the same issue. Linn v. NationsBank, 341 Ark. 57, 14 S.W.3d 500 (2000). Issue preclusion along with claim preclusion constitute the doctrine of res judicata. Carwell, supra; Bailey v. Harris Brake Fire Prot. Dist., 287 Ark. 268, 697 S.W.2d 916 (1985).
The rationale for the doctrine of res judicata is the policy of the law to end litigation, once an issue or claim has been fully litigated. East Texas Motor Freight, 289 Ark. at 543, 713 S.W.2d 456. Res judicata is a common law doctrine. Gideon v. Gideon, 268 Ark. 873, 876, 596 S.W.2d 367 (1980). The concept of res judicata was developed in the common law of this court as well as in the federal courts. In Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436, 90 S.Ct. 1189, 25 L.Ed.2d 469 (1970), the federally developed "collateral estoppel" facet of res judicata was declared applicable to the States by way of the Fifth Amendment. This law was later codified as Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2) (Repl. 1997). Journey v. State, 261 Ark. 259, 547 S.W.2d 433 (1977). It was through the common law that the principles of collateral estoppel, made applicable to the States in Ashe, supra, were developed. Our own common law on res judicata remains viable and relevant. The common law is judicially created law that is developed on a case by case basis. Lucas v. Handcock, 266 Ark. 142, 583 S.W.2d 491 (1979). The common law is dynamic, allowing it to grow and tailor itself to changing needs within the doctrine of stare decisis. Shannon v. Wilson, 329 Ark. 143, 947 S.W.2d 349 (1997).
While the doctrine of res judicata is more often encountered in the context of civil litigation, it is a common-law doctrine that is as applicable in criminal law as it is in civil law. State v. Thompson, 343 Ark. 135, 34 S.W.3d 33 (2000); Edwards v. State, 328 Ark. 394, 943 S.W.2d 600, cert. denied, 522 U.S. 950, 118 S.Ct. 370, 139 L.Ed.2d 288 (1997) (quoting Schiro v. Farley, 510 U.S. 222, 232, 114 S.Ct. 783, 127 L.Ed.2d 47 (1994)). Res judicata means that "a thing or matter that has been definitely and finally settled and determined on its merits by the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction." Hunt v. Perry, 355 Ark. 303, 310, 138 S.W.3d 656 (2003). "The Latin words, res judicata, literally translated into English mean `a thing adjudged' and freely translated into English mean `the matter has been decided.'" Hastings v. Rose Courts, 237 Ark. 426, 431, 373 S.W.2d 583 (1963).
The doctrine of res judicata should not be confused with more familiar criminal doctrines based on double jeopardy. Both the doctrine of res judicata and the double-jeopardy doctrines of former
Page 876
acquittal or former conviction originate in the common law. The doctrines of former acquittal or former conviction are based on the idea that "no man shall be placed in peril of legal penalties more than once on the same accusation." Lee v. State, 26 Ark. 260, 264 (1870) (citing Wharton, Criminal Law, p. 574). The doctrine of res judicata is based on the principle that issues and claims properly decided ought not be decided again. East Texas Motor Freight, supra.
At common law, there were special pleas4 in bar5 of criminal prosecution that went to the "merits of the indictment, and give a reason why the prisoner ought not to answer it at all, not put himself upon his trial for the crime alleged." William Blackstone, 4 Blackstone's Commentaries Ch. 26, para. IV at p. 329 (2d ed. 1769). Two of these special pleas were auterfoits acquit and auterfoits6 convict. Both were based "on the universal maxim of the common law of England,7 that no man is to be brought in jeopardy of his life, more than once for the same offense." Id. at 329-30. The plea of auterfoits acquit is a plea in bar based on a prior acquittal for the crime charged. "And hence, it is allowed as a consequence, that when a man is fairly found not guilty upon any indictment, or other prosecution, he may plead such acquittal in bar of any subsequent accusation for the same crime." Id. at 329. The plea of auterfoits convict is a plea in bar based on "a former conviction for the same identical crime." Id. at 330. These principles of the common law were "borrowed" and placed in both the federal constitution and our own state constitution under the idea that no person should be subjected to prosecution for the same offense twice. Lee, 26 Ark. at 264. The plea of auterfoits acquit is noted in Lee, supra, and earlier in Atkins v. State, 16 Ark. 568 (1855). See also Hammond v. State, 173 Ark. 674, 293 S.W. 714 (1927).
Like the doctrines of auterfoits acquit and auterfoits convict that are now contained in the constitutional protections against double jeopardy, the doctrine of res judicata also derives from a plea in bar at the common law. As Chief Justice DeGrey stated in the oft-cited8 case of Rex v. The Duchess of Kingston, 20 Howell's State Trials 538 (House of Lords, 1776), a criminal case on an indictment for bigamy:
From a variety of cases relative to judgments being given in evidence in civil suits, these two deductions seem to follow as generally true: First, that the judgment of a court of concurrent jurisdiction directly upon the point, is as a
Page 877
plea, a bar, or as evidence conclusive between the same parties, upon the same matter directly in question in another court; secondly, that the judgment of the court of exclusive jurisdiction directly upon the point, is in like manner conclusive upon the same matter, between the same parties, coming incidentally in question in another court, for a different purpose. But neither the judgment of a concurrent nor exclusive jurisdiction is evidence of any matter which came collaterally in question, though within their jurisdiction, nor of any matter incidentally cognizable, nor of any matter to be inferred from argument.
Thus, the doctrine of res judicata was coexistent in the common law along with the doctrines of former acquittal and former conviction. However, the doctrines of res judicata and former acquittal and convictions were distinct. It is important that the distinctions be maintained.
It is important to understand the law in Arkansas on res judicata in a criminal case as it existed on April 6, 1970. On that date, we had common law regarding res judicata that was applicable, and on that date federal law on "collateral estoppel" was made applicable to the States by Ashe, supra.
Ashe concerned the robbery of the participants in a poker game. It was believed that there were four robbers. Ashe was first tried for the robbery of poker player Donald Knight. The trial court instructed the jury that, if Ashe was found to be one of the participants in the robbery, the theft of any money from Knight would sustain a conviction. Ashe was acquitted. The State then charged, tried, and convicted Ashe of robbery based on the robbery of another poker player. The United States Supreme Court concluded that "the single rationally conceivable issue in dispute before the jury was whether the petitioner (Ashe) had been one of the robbers. And the jury by its verdict found that he had not." Ashe, 397 U.S. at 445, 90 S.Ct. 1189. The State of Missouri was precluded from trying Ashe in a subsequent trial for robbery of any of the other victims because:
[o]nce a jury had determined upon conflicting testimony that there was reasonable doubt that petitioner was one of the robbers, the State could not present the same or different identification evidence on a second prosecution for the robbery of Knight in the hope that a different jury might find that evidence more convincing. The situation is constitutionally no different here, even though the second trial related to another victim of the same robbery.
Ashe, 397 U.S. at 446, 90 S.Ct. 1189. Based on collateral estoppel applied to the States through the Fifth Amendment, the court found that the subsequent prosecution was barred.
In Ashe, the court considered the issue of whether "collateral estoppel" or issue-preclusion, as it had been developed under federal common law, was "embodied in the Fifth Amendment guarantee against double jeopardy." Ashe, 397 U.S. at 445, 90 S.Ct. 1189. The court concluded:
We do not hesitate to hold that it is. For whatever else that constitutional guarantee may embrace, (citation omitted) it surely protects a man who has been acquitted from having to `run the gauntlet' a second time. (Citation omitted).
Id. This merger by the United States Supreme Court of federal law on the distinct and unrelated doctrines of res judicata and double jeopardy has been characterized as a miraculous transformation. Butler v. State, 91 Md.App. 515, 526, 605 A.2d 186 (1991). The Maryland Court of Appeals noted that before Ashe the court in Hoag v. New Jersey, 356 U.S. 464, 78 S.Ct.
Page 878
829, 2 L.Ed.2d 913 (1958), noted at the outset of the opinion that double jeopardy did not apply to the case and then in discussing "collateral estoppel" stated:
Despite its wide employment we entertain grave doubts whether collateral estoppel can be regarded as a constitutional requirement.
Hoag, 356 U.S. at 471, 78 S.Ct. 829; Butler, 91 Md.App. at 527, 605 A.2d 186. We note this not because we doubt the binding authority of Ashe on this court to apply the federally developed doctrine of "collateral estoppel" in criminal cases, but rather to point out as the Maryland Court of Appeals so aptly stated:
The point to be made in recounting this constitutional revisionism is that when two or more distinct bodies of doctrine stemming from different origins, serving different albeit related purposes, and implemented by different rulesare generically labeled with the same "umbrella term," there arises the recurring semantic danger that a statement in the case law, correct in its original context of one variety of double jeopardy law, may be randomly misapplied to some other variety where it does nothing but generate confusion. This is why any discussion of collateral estoppel should meticulously confine itself to nothing but collateral estoppel cases.
Butler, 91 Md.App. at 530-31, 605 A.2d 186. The danger of confusion created by the merger of federal law on res judicata and double jeopardy is real.9 The case of Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161, 97 S.Ct. 2221, 53 L.Ed.2d 187 (1977), followed Ashe. In Brown, the court noted that in Ashe, if all four alleged robberies had been tried in the same proceeding, strict application of the Blockburger test of double jeopardy would have allowed multiple prosecutions because each robbery was a separate offense. Brown, 432 U.S. at 166, 97 S.Ct. 2221, fn6. However, with regard to "collateral estoppel" the Court in Brown did not alter the holding in Ashe. Because Ashe was not tried on all four robberies in the same proceeding, "collateral estoppel" precluded asking another jury to decide if he was present at the robbery. Res judicata does not apply where the issue is inconsistent verdicts within the same proceeding. Bridges v. State, 327 Ark. 392, 938 S.W.2d 561 (1997); Jordan v. State, 323 Ark. 628, 631, 917 S.W.2d 164 (1996); McVay v. State, 312 Ark. 73, 847 S.W.2d 28 (1993).
Page 879
In March 1970, less than one month before Ashe was decided, this court handed down Turner v. State, 248 Ark. 367, 371, 452 S.W.2d 317 (1970)(plurality opinion) (Turner I), where we stated that "[t]here are no criminal cases in this state relative to the application of res judicata, but we have several civil cases, and the principle is, of course, the same. The doctrine of res judicata, is discussed in several Arkansas cases." Thus, one month before Ashe was handed down by the United States Supreme Court, we noted that our own common law on res judicata applied to criminal cases. Previously in State v. Gill, 33 Ark. 129, 134 (1878), this court noted the plea of res judicata in a criminal case, but rejected it because the matter had not been tried on the merits.
In Turner, Turner was tried for murder and acquitted. The State then charged, tried, and convicted Turner for robbery based on the same facts. Turner asserted res judicata in a motion to dismiss. The circuit court denied the motion and an appeal was taken. In Turner I, we held that res judicata did not apply because the only question determined by the jury was whether Turner committed murder, not whether he committed robbery on that occasion, as alleged in the second criminal action. Turner was charged both with a murder committed in the course of a robbery and premeditated murder with a gun. He was acquitted. However, according to Justice Fogleman's concurring opinion, the record did not contain either the jury verdict form or indicate what evidence was before the jury. Therefore, it was possible that the jury did not decide the issue of robbery. Turner brought another motion to dismiss, but this time he included the record and argued that Ashe required that he prevail. In Turner v. State, 251 Ark. 499, 473 S.W.2d 904 (1971)(Turner II), this court acknowledged Ashe, but held that the law of the case precluded the appeal because "collateral estoppel" was considered in the first appeal. However, this decision was reversed in Turner v. Arkansas, 407 U.S. 366, 92 S.Ct. 2096, 32 L.Ed.2d 798 (1972); the United States Supreme Court noted that, had the jury found Turner present at the robbery, a decision of guilt on the murder in the first trial would have been compulsory under Arkansas accessory law. Based on this, the court found that the jury in the first trial decided that Turner was not present and that under collateral estoppel, this finding foreclosed the charge of robbery that followed.
In response to Ashe, Act 280 of 1975 was passed. See Journey v. State, 261 Ark. 259, 547 S.W.2d 433 (1977). Section 5-1-113(2) of the Arkansas Code Annotated provides:
A former prosecution is an affirmative defense to a subsequent prosecution for a different offense under the following circumstances:
...
The former prosecution was terminated by an acquittal or by a final order or judgment for the defendant which has not been set aside, reversed, or vacated and which necessarily required a determination inconsistent with a fact which must be established for conviction of the second offense.
This section is intended to protect the notions of fairness and finality that underlie the decision of Ashe, supra. Journey, supra. However, as already noted, Arkansas common law on res judicata was applicable in criminal cases even before Ashe was decided. It remains applicable.
Mason asserts that "[u]nder the doctrine of collateral estoppel, Mr. Mason's prior acquittal on the charge of possession of a firearm by certain persons prohibits the
Page 880
State from prosecution of Mr. Mason on the charge of battery in the first degree by means of a firearm." The State argues that because the "issues in the prosecution of two offenses were not the same ... the doctrine of collateral estoppel does not apply."
Since the decision in Ashe, both the United States Supreme Court and this court have handed down decisions on res judicata in criminal cases. In Schiro v. Farley, 510 U.S. 222, 114 S.Ct. 783, 127 L.Ed.2d 47 (1994), the Court stated that the person who seeks the protection of issue preclusion bears the burden of showing that "issue of ultimate fact has once been determined in his favor." Schiro, 510 U.S. at 232, 114 S.Ct. 783 (quoting Ashe, supra). The Court then went on to analyze the case under Ashe, stating that it must be determined "whether a rational jury could have grounded its verdict upon an issue other than Schiro's intent to kill." Id. Further, the court stated that "to do so, we `examine the record of a prior proceeding taking into account the pleadings, evidence, charge, and other relevant matter....'" Schiro, 510 U.S. at 233, 114 S.Ct. 783 (citing Ashe, supra). See also Dowling v. United States, 493 U.S. 342, 110 S.Ct. 668, 107 L.Ed.2d 708 (1990).
Development of res judicata by the federal courts in criminal cases and made applicable to the states by Ashe is similar to the law on res judicata as developed in Arkansas and seeks to protect the distinction between res judicata and double jeopardy. In Frank v. Mangum, 237 U.S. 309, 333-34, 35 S.Ct. 582, 59 L.Ed. 969 (1915), the United States Supreme Court stated:
It is a fundamental principle of jurisprudence, arising from the very nature of courts of justice and the objects for which they are established, that a question of fact or of law distinctly put in issue and directly determined by a court of competent jurisdiction cannot afterwards be disputed between the same parties ... The principle is as applicable to the decisions of criminal courts as to those of civil jurisdiction.
In Frank, the Court cited to Southern Pacific Railroad v. U.S., 168 U.S. 1, 48-9, 18 S.Ct. 18, 42 L.Ed. 355 (1896), wherein the Court stated:
A right, question or fact distinctly put in issue and directly determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as a ground of recovery, can not be disputed in a subsequent suit between the same parties or their privies; and even if the second suit is for a different cause of action, the right, question or fact, once so determined, must, as between the same parties or their privies, be taken as conclusively established, so long as the judgment in the first suit remains unmodified.
Southern Pacific Railroad, supra, has been cited by this court in the development of our own law on res judicata. See Pacific Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Butler, 192 Ark. 614, 618, 93 S.W.2d 329 (1936); The Equitable Life Assurance Soc'y v. Bagley, 192 Ark. 749, 751, 94 S.W.2d 722 (1936). In United States v. Oppenheimer, 242 U.S. 85, 88, 37 S.Ct. 68, 61 L.Ed. 161 (1916), in discussing that res judicata applied in criminal cases, the Court stated:
The safeguard provided by the Constitution against the gravest abuses has tended to give the impression that when it did not apply in terms, there was no other principle that could. But the Fifth Amendment was not intended to do away with what in the civil law is a fundamental principle of justice (citation omitted) in order, when a man once has been acquitted on the merits to enable the government to prosecute him a second time.
Page 881
In Collins v. Loisel, 262 U.S. 426, 43 S.Ct. 618, 67 L.Ed. 1062 (1923), the Court stated that "the 5th Amendment, in providing against double jeopardy, was not intended to supplant the fundamental principle of res judicata in criminal cases." In United States v. Adams, 281 U.S. 269 (1930), the Court stated that although a separate offense was alleged, a former judgment established that, at the time the appellant made the complained of entries in the bank books, there was no intent to defraud. Citing Oppenheimer, supra, the Court found that the judgment was conclusive on this issue even though this was a different offense. In Sealfon v. United States, 332 U.S. 575, 578, 68 S.Ct. 237, 92 L.Ed. 180 (1948), the Court stated that it had long been recognized that the commission of the substantive offense and a conspiracy to commit the same offense are separate and distinct offenses, and that "res judicata may be a defense in a second prosecution," noting that the "doctrine applies to criminal as well as civil proceedings . . . and operates to conclude those matters in issue which the verdict determined though the offenses be different." Thus, long before Ashe, supra, the United States Supreme Court recognized the importance of res judicata in criminal cases, which should be noted in light of the confusion that has arisen since Ashe was decided.
The State cites Sherman v. State, 326 Ark. 153, 931 S.W.2d 417 (1996), stating; "However, the issues in the prosecution of the two offenses were not the same, and the doctrine of collateral estoppel does not apply." Thus, the State wished to impose the double-jeopardy element of same offense on res judicata. Sherman was driving a stolen truck when he attempted to outrun the police, and, in the process, drove through a police roadblock, causing damages to cars, as well as injuries to two persons. He was first charged with four misdemeanors: DWI, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, driving without a license, and reckless driving. He pled guilty. He was then charged with four felonies: fleeing, first-degree assault, and two counts of first-degree battery. He pled double jeopardy, res judicata, and collateral estoppel based on a guilty plea in municipal court. This court analyzed Sherman's double-jeopardy claim under the Blockburger test to determine whether the offenses were the same. The conclusion was that they were not the same offenses. With respect to the claim of "collateral estoppel," this court found that it was not applicable because a factual issue essential to the first verdict was not an essential element of the second charge. Sherman, 326 Ark. at 166, 931 S.W.2d 417.
In criminal cases when an issue of ultimate fact has once been determined by a valid and final judgment, that issue cannot again be litigated between the same parties in any future lawsuit. Thompson, supra; Hill v. State, 331 Ark. 312, 962 S.W.2d 762 (1998). The person who seeks the benefit of issue-preclusion bears the burden of showing that: (1) the issue sought to be precluded is the same as that involved in the prior litigation; (2) the issue was actually litigated; (3) the issue was determined by a final and valid judgment; and (4) the determination was essential to the judgment. In re: Estate of Goston v. Ford Motor Co., 320 Ark. 699, 898 S.W.2d 471 (1995); Crockett & Brown, P.A. v. Wilson, 314 Ark. 578, 864 S.W.2d 244 (1993).
Because Mason was accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm in the first trial, the elements in that case were proof that he was a felon and that he either had actual or constructive possession of a firearm. See Banks v. State, 315 Ark. 666, 869 S.W.2d 700 (1994). In that first trial, Jackie testified that, "Mason pulled up a
Page 882
handgun." He further testified that Mason "held it in his hand, and he shot me with it." He also testified that Mason had the pistol with him outside, and that he hid it behind his back at one point. He also testified that he saw Mason running down the street with the pistol in his hand. Latonia testified that she saw Mason with the pistol in his hand, and that she saw Mason shoot Jackie. Jackie was treated at the hospital for gunshot wounds. The jury was instructed that Mason was charged with the offense of possession of a firearm and that, to sustain that conviction, the State had to prove that Mason was convicted of a felony and that he possessed or owned a firearm. AMI Crim. 7302. The jury found Mason not guilty of "possession of a firearm by certain persons."10 On November 7, 2002, Mason filed a Motion to Bar Prosecution, arguing that, pursuant to Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2), and collateral estoppel, his acquittal on the former prosecution for possession of a firearm barred prosecution for the remaining charges, including battery by means of a firearm. The motion was denied on November 12, 2002. The circuit applied the "Blockburger test" and denied the motion. The State then tried Mason on Counts I, II and IV, which included battery in the first degree by means of a firearm. The testimony again was that Mason assaulted the victims with a firearm. The jury was instructed that to sustain the charge, the State had to prove that Mason caused physical injury by means of a firearm.
The case of McVay, supra, is helpful. McVay was tried on DWI and negligent homicide caused by intoxication. The jury found McVay guilty of negligent homicide but not guilty of DWI. McVay argued collateral estoppel and this court correctly stated:
McVay is correct to this extent: if the state proceeded against him first on DWI and he were acquitted, the state would be collaterally estopped from proceeding against him in a second trial for negligent homicide. See United States v. Greene, 497 F.2d 1068 (7th Cir.1974); Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436[, 90 S.Ct. 1189, 25 L.Ed.2d 469] (1970). We disagree, however, with the corollarythat the same result applies when the two offenses are tried simultaneously.
McVay, 312 Ark. at 76, 847 S.W.2d 28.
In the present case, the State moved for a continuance to obtain documentation of prior criminal acts by Mason. That meant that the felon in possession of a firearm case was tried first. As a consequence of the acquittal in that case, Mason was able to show at the trial on Counts I, II, and IV that the issue of possession in the second trial was the same issue as that involved in the prior trial, that the issue was actually litigated, and that it was determined in his favor by a final and valid judgment that he did not possess a firearm at the time of the alleged offenses committed with a firearm. The issue preclusion facet of res judicata and Ark.Code Ann. 5-1-113(2)(Repl 1997) precluded the State at the second trial from presenting evidence that Mason possessed a firearm at the time of the crime alleged. This case is affirmed as to the terroristic threatening conviction and reversed and remanded on the first-degree battery by means of a firearm conviction.
gentelepersons, if you have read thus far, congrats, you have earned the right to contribute intelligently to what effect if any the judgment of Hon. Justice Christopher Balogun has on Mr. Ugwuonye. I will also salute Hon. Justice C. Balogun,a class mate at UNIJOS and Nigeria Law School for giving us the benefit of his wise decision.
There you have it (Bolaji permit me)
I rest my case (Vicious Animal Agwunobi permit me)
So long (I don't need permission for that)

Emeka:

One of your challenges to Seyi is for him to name a company still in existence that he has worked for as law clerk. Granted that all the outfits he worked for in any capacity went belly up, how about Sahara Reporters? And Ms. Sabinski? Someone help me here. Afis or Seyi. Does Seyi not work for Sahara Reporters? Never mind that Sahara Reporters may be going belly up soon, if it has not. 
When Sahara Reporters go belly up, there will be an interesting discussion as to why. Some may attribute the demise of SR to Emeka. But not all will buy that. They will blame it on Seyi. Why? He is a closer. If you don't believe me, name any outfit he ever associated with that is still standing. Tony listed so many companies where Seyi worked and added that each of them folded. 

Ah. It is easy to predict which outfit will fold or is folding by merely determining where Seyi pitches his tent at any time. Lately, he pitched his tent with Sowore and SR. The deposition tells it all. He pitched his tent with EFCC and Mrs. Waziri in the Emeka saga. See what happened. He pitched his tent with Aluko, and see what happened to his marriage. Never mind MsJoe and handcuffs, Seyi got nothing to do with that. Only defend Aluko. 

See. You guys thought I will never disagree with Emeka. There you have it, as Aluko will say. Seyi is working for an outfit that is about to fold but has not folded.  

The Tennessee adage says that if you have the law and the facts on your side, use them. But people often forget the rest of the adage. It says that if you don't have the facts and the law on your side, you should make some noise. In the just concluded cases in Nigeria, Emeka had the facts and the law on his side, and he used them. Judge Balagun agreed. And what exactly do you think is left for his opponents to do? Go home and accept the verdict? No. Stick around and make noise is what is left for them. The sad part is that they don't know how to spin. Boy. I would have had a ball spinning the verdict if I was on that wrong side. 

This is what I would have been spinning. If Adeeyo won in a Nigerian court, he would not see much of the $90,000, which would have been paid out in bribes to EFCC and co. So he changed his mind. Because when he wins in a US court, he gets to keep all his money. That spin, my friends, would have made a lot of sense. Spinning is a skill. Not many have. If they could make penicillin out of a mould, you can spin anything. 

And I am

" The fact is that Seyi is one of the most conniving of all. Throughout 2009 and 2010, Seyi kept writing to me expressing his understanding and support. He called all his new friends names. In his several mails to me, he called Afis a carpenter and bus conductor. He called Sowore all kinds of names. He called IBK and Nebukadineze, names arguing strainously that they did not know the law and that they were envious. His rage against these men was uncontrollable."

"But Seyi disappeared. I wondered what happened to my "friend". I later figured it out. EFCC has a file on Seyi. My contacts within the Commission showed me everything. EFCC was desperate to discredit me when I criticized their thieving madam, Mrs. Farida. The officer investigating Seyi's case learned that Seyi knew me and all about the controversies and the things Seyi had said in my support. Seyi had not choice but to endear himself to the EFCC to save his neck. He first stopped supporting me. Then he moved to the other side."

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL ,somebody should tell Seyi that it is not wise to send an arrogant irritant to battle a man that walked into the Dens of EFCC ,tell them to thier face that they suck and come out to tell the tale,so here is the begining of re-education for Seyi from Havard Lawyer Ugwuonye ,enjoy ,,,,

HOW DID I KNOW that Seyi is not a lawyer? And thanks to those who have confirmed that he is only a journalist. I knew the truth about Seyi by reading what he has been writing and by conducting a little research, the same research I used to conduct when someone works up to me and tells that somebody he knew has suddenly vanished. But that's not the only reason why I discovered that he is not a lawyer. There are these other reasons:
(A) I have been a lawyer for over 20 years. I have lived intimately in the law for the entire time
(B) I am a well-trained lawyer who took the discipline of the law seriously, notwithstanding the controversies that have come up around me in the past 3 years.
(C) I have taught students of law and I understand the growth process or the learning curve through which a person goes from not knowing the law to knowing it.
(D) Also, I am familiar with legal analysis, which involves a different set of skills from merely knowing the law. (Almost everybody knows the law - The Accountants, the MBAs, the Architects, the Engineers, Medical Doctors, etc all learned one thing or the other about law in the course of their training. But what they don't have is the tool or training on legal analysis - which is summarily the process of identifying the applicable or relevant legal principles and rules relative to a specific controversy and making the best logical connections between the rules, among themselves, and to the facts and institutional exigencies at play in a controversy). If you don't have that analytical skill or training, you are not a lawyer. You may know the law. So Seyi did some evening law and learned the law more or less as the MBA graduate learned business law and the doctor learned health care laws.

I consistently found that Aluko and Seyi are both lacking in that analytical tool. Aluko could not even understand what it meant when his own wife paid money to the court so that they would use a Sheriff to deliver the court papers on Aluko at the same address as the wife. Aluko did not understand what it meant when he used the same pen that he used to mark student's papers to write to the court that he and his wife had been married for 30 years and happily so, even though the same wife accused him of "EXCESSIVELY VICIOUS CONDUCT". Aluko did not even understand the legal meaning of the term, "Excessively Vicious Conduct". He probably thought it was just another phrase in a discussion on the yahoo group. His mind must have been on ErG or Vin Modebelu when he read that on the court document. How could the same Aluko understand the distinction between "technicality" and "merits based" judicial decision? As an unaccomplished Professor of Engineering, he thought that "technicality" hear meant the same thing as "technical" in engineering context. I know the problem. Aluko has lived the past 20 years believing that all the people in the yahoo groups are fools. He doesn't believe that anybody is intelligent. So he dumps upon them all kind of crap.

The same with Seyi. Seyi is actually the worst fraud ever because he pretends to know the law and to be a lawyer. You are not a lawyer just because you did evening-law in Nigeria and you paid money to some young students to write your papers and get you a passing grade. Remember that I had said that Mrs. Farida Waziri was not a lawyer, even though she is far better than Seyi. Okay consider the following points:
(A) Seyi has never appeared before a judge and announced himself as counsel. That means that even a one-week old lawyer in my firm is better than Seyi by far.
(B) Even after being challenged, Seyi still can never give you even one instance when he appeared before a judge as counsel.
(C) Seyi does not understand the meaning of the term "presumption of innocence". Instead, Seyi thinks that a person is guilty until a court of law acquits him. Seyi must have had someone write his basic level 1 course in the law faculty he attended. By the way those who are saying that Seyi has a law degree; can then truly verify it. Or are they saying just because Seyi said so? I guess the latter is actually more likely to be the case.
(D) The fact is that I am as innocent as anyone could possibly be until and unless I have been tried and found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. Mark my words, "a court of competent jurisdiction". It means that no Nigerian court could find me guilty if such court lacks jurisdiction. But here Seyi is trying to persuade the readers to believe that I am guilty and would remain guilty until some court acquits me.
(E) Seyi is not only dumb, he is also daft. He does not know that a court cannot acquit me or do anything unless a competent charge has been filed in accordance with the law. Seyi expects that a court that lacked jurisdiction could have given a judgment just as if it had jurisdiction.
(F) My challenge stands and I want to make it easy for Seyi. I am willing to take away my insistence on him appearing before any judge as counsel. Let Seyi show us any company in existence that he has worked for even as a junior lawyer. Mark my word: "Any company in existence" that Seyi has been even a legal clerk to.
(G) My people, I can assure you something and you will not be able to prove me wrong. And that is this: The only place that Seyi has ever practiced law is on these yahoo groups and list serves. At least Aluko practiced law in his own divorce case by defending himself against his own poor wife. Aluko can therefore claim that he has appeared before a judge and has faced a Sheriff unafraid. But Seyi cannot even boast of that. Aluko can show that he managed to use his lawyering skill to fill out his own divorce court papers. But Seyi cannot do that. Seyi was not even able to face his own wife. Aluko did. And by getting his wife to dismiss the divorce suit, Aluko can say that he won a case, not on technicality, not on the merits, but by trick, blackmail and avoidance.
Seyi and Aluko are just silly little boys. They are just trying to impress you guys. I respect those like Aduba, Eluemunor who could admit that they are not lawyers. Seyi is the opposite. He pretends he is one. As someone who has taught law, I can tell you that both Aduba and Eluemunor, and even Aluko, know more law than Seyi. 
This is not my final say on Seyi. My final say will come when he points out either of the following:
(i) One instance that he, Seyi, appeared before a judge or even a probation officer or even a child support enforcement officer, or any official whatsoever and announced himself as a lawyer representing anybody including himself.
(ii) Any company or organization still in existence that Seyi could say that has been even a law clerk to.
(iii) Any legal opinion on any matter, other than on these yahoo groups, that is written by Seyi in the his life.
(iv) Any other occasion, apart from these yahoo groups, in which Seyi was a part of any legal groups, even if only as a personal assistant to any of the lawyers.
(v) Any three occasions in his entire life in which Seyi has been a witness in a court trial. (I had to add this last test because I doubt that Seyi would even know how to be a witness in court, how much less a lawyer).
The ball is in Seyi's court. If he does not meet any of this challenge, I think everybody would agree with me that he should take a vacation and go see his children and pay child support.

Thanking you for that accolade below but be this known to you: I am not accepting it as a peace wand, as you have not apologized.

Why is Tony a thief? I know what you want play at; about beer drinking and smoking which they said you did in celebration? Memory like Elephant you would ponder ehn! 

You have every reason to be worried Afis, you do.

You may want to paint Tony as a thief because he worked with Ibori. How about you working with Mobolaji Aluko? Between Ibori and Mobolaji Aluko who is better?

Chew that:

" Now, he is not ready to face the issues at all. When some persons are cornered and the emptiness of their stance is made manifest, they begin to play tough to hide their hollowness. " Eluemunor

Folks,

Afis runs even from unknown fears.
He would start and when someone take him on, he runs with flimsy excuses like; "I am going to play golf, am going to the beach", bla bla bla.

He will call people all derogatory and unprintable names and when called to explain, like his norm, he varnished and tied calling himself names like: "Phantom, fugitive, Ghost, figment of imagination" etc

Well, for those who did not know, Afis is no ghost, he is a nearly morbidly obese "mumu", at only above 60years, he drags his body like old "Molue" with excess passengers. All the stories you read about him training for whatever race is all to paint an imaginary picture to confuse "scan readers".

FYI: Afis is a fool.

Regards

Uzoma KLN

All,

Poor fellow, this Afis. In his mail, he tried to take on me on the point that I was wrong in saying that I do not know him because he is simply anonymous but he did not even understand me at all.

Or who was it that wrote this: Personally I don't know you, I hardly know thieves and friends of thieves. Okay? Tony Eluemunor read the above again, you are somehow a college graduate, does that imply we are buddies

And this too? You and I have crossed paths on these forums, and using the statement BY NOW due to some encounters on the forum YOU KNOW what would come from me, I think that does not imply I love you, I eat with you or I know you personally. Okay?

Tony Eluemunor, stop flattering yourself.

 

And when I pointed out to him how miserably wrong he has been, he who tried to make me look small by reminding me of my having a College education and not justifying it in my mails, and I challenged him to meet me squarely on the points under discussion, including faulting my stand that I do not know him, he descended, head first into one of the deepest pits in hell, cursing as he fled, and this time trying to make it appear he was talking about corruption all the while.

Talk about rampaging hypocrisy and you would be talking about Afis. He tried in his mail to fault my stand that I do not know him, but instead of staying the course, he has fled when faced with superior argument.  Now, he is not ready to face the issues at all. When some persons are cornered and the emptiness of their stance is made manifest, they begin to play tough to hide their hollowness. God knows that he dragged college education into the discussion. I repeat the question: “Afis, have I defended my certificates or not?”

Also, I do not know where Afis saw ten paragraphs in my mail; well, he may have been seeing double!

Well, I will wait for Afis to return to the issues under discussion for I have more words to send his way.

Thanks.

Tony Eluemunor.

You are common thief Tony Eluemunor, you may rant and rave as seen in your 10 paragraphs below, that just shows you received my message on behalf of our suffering masses.
I don't do buddy buddy with thieves, so stop repeating yourself.
And this is not about Emeka Ugwuonye and his ten sticky fingers.
This is about you, Tony Eluemunor the thief who ate with thieves even when they are caught and even convicted.
It is about the stolen dreams of millions of our peoples by people like you, Tony Eluemunor and your convicted boss, James Ibori.
My job is to remind the amnesic ones among us what you are and the people they are associating with. Tony Eluemunor, you are doing me a great favor by letting people realize I am not part of your thieving crew.
The points you raised are positioned to portray thievery as something worth celebrating.
I am not interested.
You are deviously trying to portray Emeka Ugwuonye as a winner, when he has not paid for his crimes? He has cases to answer. And if not in US law courts, well, the war is on.
You want us to see thieves including you and Ibori in good light........I am not interested.
My job is done.
Shikena,
afis

Dear all,
 
It hurts to the quick when fully developed adults, who have attended various schools too, who ramble and rattle all the while in the internet discussion groups about thoughts and thinking and thinking about thinking, want things to be spelt out ABC-like for them. And it makes it clear that there is cause for worry.
 
I know Seyi A but I do not know Afis. I do not know whether he is Odidiare or Mr. Idiot, just as I do not know whether the man behind the Leye Ige alias is the great Prof Aluko we are conversant with here - or not. Afis pleaded his curse-laden exertions on the internet fora as the reason for our having known ourselves. Yes, I know there is a quack-salver here whose Bible must be the “Book of Insults”, whose discussion foundations are almost always made of quicksand, and whose cursing tongue is always in quick fire position and which some persons may mistake for being quick-witted. And even if I may not have met some members of these discussion fora personally, I may have picked up some details of their lives apart from their names, and may then claim to know them – from afar. And there are certain others, always content to exist in the margin of life, that we will never know.  If you know a person, you will know what he stands for. I care little about people or non-persons who limp up, with a mighty effort, from deep obscurity and do nothing but spew out insults and abuses endlessly as though they are incapable of stringing two thoughts together. And to tell the truth, I do not want to know Afis at all!
 
Now, have I defended my certificates enough? Now, who was the one lost in the woods?  If I have defended my certificates to Afis’ satisfaction, perhaps he would return to the points I raised, puncture them or maintain silence. To leave the issues at hand and begin to insult discussants is a poor attempt to hide one’s non-preparedness to partake in the great conversation that is supposed to be on here – about ourselves and our country and our world.  
 
And in case, yes just in case, Afis has forgotten, I have to remind him that the issue under discussion is Dr. Emeka Ugwuonye’s victory at the Lagos High Court. It would be nice to have his contribution on that, especially his opposition to the points I attempted to marshal out. He may fault my points and I could even thank him and learn from my mistakes and his lessons. That is life; we live and learn.
 
By the way, this is by no means a plea to Afis to embrace quietism or become a quietist though nothing is wrong with quietude once in a while. Yet, I grant that Afis has all the liberty in the world to remain what he has chosen to be: a quid-nunc.  And if this Afis ( I have since declared that I do not know whether he is a man or not) were to fall into the quiescent stage, not many would want to quicken him!  By the way, I want to proclaim to the whole world that I understand that doctors use “quiescent stage” when talking about diseases, and I am using it in that sense too!
 
Thanks.
 
Tony Eluemunor.

But as deceptive as you are, and going by your association with a thief named Ibori, well I should have expected you would try to run with that one. However, it is a dud cheque.

Dear All,
 
I have been accused of several evils before and have been called all sorts of names too.Afis dutifully recalled some of the names and accusations in his mail. He even called me a thief. Yet, what  I find most objectionable is that he announced that "Tony knows Afis".
 
God forbid; I do not know who or whatever goes by the alias of Afis. Please believe me, I do not know Afis, and I pray NEVER to have the misfortune of knowing  him. Whenever I see that alias, a thought always comes to mind; that if per chance, St Peter were to open the Pearly Gates for him, he would openly laddle a hefty dolop of abuses on the Apostle and then jauntily walk straight right into hell. Why? Force of habit!
 
Afis often reminds me of Gen. Buhari's resolve not to meet with IBB, immediately after his release from detention. He said he would meet IBB only in the Mosque or in Heaven.
 
Well, I do not have fears about meeting Afis because he would have no need for a church and about heaven, he has already occupied a high seat in the devil

May I advise that the next time you swear please limit the consequences to yourself and don't bring innocent children that have no idea what you are peddling in your nefarious activities. I find the below appalling. I have always enjoyed reading you but I must now direct your writing to the trash can. I cannot that a human would descend this low. Guys this is yahoo groups and it is supposed to be fun but it has been desecrated in the worst form.

Dear Bolaji Aluko,

In Buddhism, your testimony of me is the highest mark of “enlightenment” as it mirrors the same standards of the Christians which foretold that in place of the ascending Nazarene, another will be sent - but the vast ones in the world will not know it, because it is the “holy spirit”, also called the spirit of truth which abides only with those who reach “enlightenment” to know right from wrong.

Now if any truth be in the muddying slurs Emeka Ugwuonye throws at me regarding even as little as an investigation of my person for crime or fraud in any of the 200 plus countries in the world– most of which i lived and worked – may all the curses in the Holy Bible be on my head and on the heads of my children from generation to generation.

But if i have lived a faultless life, totally free of crimes or fraud, may sorrows never depart the household of Emeka Ugwuonye or those of each of his children, each of whom shall from this day carry a mark of the beast on their foreheads – to be shunned in decent circles around the world until they each come to a very painful and shameful death, with their individual corpses flung or disposed, without the splendour of caisson.

That is the natural law. It is called the “karma”; which executes itself with certainty.

The labours of this false witness shall come to nought. For even though he shall temporarily possess villas, a false witness shall not live in them for long or with peace of mind nor drink wine from his crookedly acquired vineyard. Nor will sorrows depart the household of a false witness; from generation to generation, because the false witness flouts the commandment never to speak ill of the anointed or do a God’s prophet harm.

Because you stand up to bear truthful witness for me, you expedite those holy imprecations. And so, nothing that i stated here will thus return void, because i stated it with the authority of Spirituality.

With usual esteem,

Seyi Olu Awofeso

Dear All:

Emeka Ugwuonye (Expired) has the audacity to call Seyi Awofeso (Esquire) a "fraudster" in Cyberspace because Seyi, once purportedly his friend and secret interlocutor, now writes some legal opinions that he (Emeka) believes is inimical to his own interest. Nobody has sued Awofeso in open court for fraud, to our knowledge; to make up for that, Ugwuonye in typical fashion starts to hint (without proof) that Awofeso is sought by US legal system, hence he has changed his name and cannot visit the US; that he (Awofeso) now courts EFCC who wants to put him (Emeka) behind bars, that is why he gives the opinions, etcheram, ad nauseum. This is Ugwuonye's standard fare: to impute pecuniary or advancement or protection motive to ANYBODY who opposes him, because he himself is an unprincipled person who does not believe anybody else has principles that guide them, that there is always an agenda.

Yet when people call him (Emeka) a fraudster par excellence, indicated several times by at least four of his clients and their agents suing him in open court in six different arenas and on two continents, he blows his gasket multiple times and sues for libel, slander and every other crime under the sun. Where are his clean hands handling equity?

I have NEVER seen a greater hypocrite and liar as Ugwuonye in my life, a fact made so much clearer ever since this Embassy real estate saga began in March 2009. It is bizarre.... When, during the two libel cases he filed against me, and the malicious prosecution one that I filed against him - which he dishonestly inflated to THREE CASES that I filed against him and only ONE he filed against me - he made certain legal moves, I kept calling attention to my lawyer, Muyiwa Sobo":, "Muyiwa, can Emeka do this, can he do that?" My lawyer would say, "Prof, calm down: Emeka knows he is lying, I know he is lying, you know he is lying, the Judge knows that he is lying....but to prove that he is lying, you will have to have a trial inside a trial, thereby derailing your main trial. All he wants to do is obfuscate. So it is just best to IGNORE his lies in court and focus on the main prize....and all his dishonest moves will be taken into account to paint the kind of person he is before the Judge. But like chess play, knowing the kind of unethical mind that he is, we will COUNTER his every single move at the appropriate times, and also point out and show that as a LAWYER, he should know better to do this and not to do that." I had to calm down, and fully understood where he was coming from.

Any opposing lawyer who does not understand Emeka Ugwuonye in that manner is bound first to act collegially, and then to be rapidly exasperated by his antics, and sometimes come belatedly hard on him when they find from what fetid cloth he is sewn. Babinsky and Patton-Boggs are cases in point, as well as the EFCC bunch, but not Muyiwa Sobo. Expect the worst behavior in his own defence from Ugwuonye - but be one step ahead of him.

His many dishonest moves - constantly filing motions WITHOUT informing the opposite counsel yet saying that he had (the ones that he really wants opposite counsel to see always seems to arrive); denying that he received opposite counsel's motion, if at all. or saying that he received it late; filing motions late and giving outrageous reasons (usually that he has just arrived back from Nigeria, etc.), - were just openly bizarre to me, and just showed him to be a venal professional through and through, constantly trying to manipulate the system. It also showed why he in general acts pro se, not necessarily because he cannot pay representation fee, not necessarily because he knows that they might on many occasions mount a better more dispassionate defence for him, but because NO lawyer who wants a professional reputation - and who does not want to jeopardize his legal licence - would put up with the kinds of unprofessional legal moves that Ugwuonye is willing and able to mount in his own defence, particularly his readiness to use ANY language (including outright lies) to smear the opponent, and in particular the opposing counsel or prosecutors in a dishonest and outrageous and unethical manner. His best and only self-defence strategy are calumny and obfuscation.

Whether as himself Emeka Ugwuonye, or as handles John Kwesike and Johnson Oti of yore, there are such countless and almost uncountable things in recent times that Ugwuonye has said about me that I know are untrue and outright forgeries, that he knows that are untrue and are outright forgeries, and God knows are untrue and outright forgeries, but he says them anyway - with a trademark mischievous gleam and sparkle in his eyes and chuckle from his lips - knowing that I would not expose my anus (pardon its color) merely to prove that it was not I that farted in the public space. I would not, like that shameless and amoral "80-year-old" geriatric Ezeana Igirigi Achusim of Chicago, do so and throw any family member under the bus in a chest-thumping fashion - in order to show what to what vile and evil Confederacy of Dunces?

We shall see how far down this sordid road that this behavior will lead this young man Ugwuonye of barely 45 years old into the long life that he still expects to lead, a long tortoisoidally disgraceful road if he does not retrace his steps.

And there you have it.

PS: The above partially responds to Nebukadineze Adiele, when I asked whether he had met Emeka Ephraim Ugwuonye before, and whether he knew what he was capable of doing in his own defence. I do.,,that is ANYTHING, including illegality.

APPRECIATION

 

Death is funny. I was initially crying that I lost my maternal mother who was interred on 29th May, 2012. But I am laughing today, at least, she has lived. My maternal mother lived and died, unlike many who died before they lived. She lived a good reputation and survived everything except death. Anyway, I wish she could come back. However, I am using this opportunity to say Thank You to “You” who stood by me during the period of her eternal home journey. Today, I am forgetting her demise, but will never forget your kindness.

Mr. Seyi,

You act like an illiterate of the worst level. See how you are swearing like a mumu molue conductor. Who is going to heed to your swearing - God or some wooden carving? Look, you are not a good advertisement for decent and enlightened Yorubas. Obviously, you think you are standing in front of one of those bush shrines in your Yorubaland. Someone should remind you that you are on the world stage, the world wide web. Are yon not the one they are trying to market here as a lawyer? You have finally shown that you are not one? Shouldn't a lawyer be talking hard fact law instead of insulting us with this illiterate primitivity. Innocent children scream the  chorus: "Back to sender". You have absolutely no right to extend your karma to innocent children!

The entire forum is all ears for your appology.

This is not war. War is not funny and it is never taken for granted by anyone who has experienced it. The Internet chat room is not a war front. If anyone wants to fight war they can volunteer for the U.S. Army and have their ass shipped off to Afghanistan.

We are here to kill time and boredom. We can play along those lines without invoking curses on the innocent children.

By the way there was the ekpe that nwanna Chuks put on Dr. Ojo long ago. That ekpe did diddly squat. Ekpe is meaningless and I am not bothered by it. What bothered me is the involvement of the children. Let's leave the children out!

Dear All:

Emeka Ugwuonye (Expired) has the audacity to call Seyi Awofeso (Esquire) a "fraudster" in Cyberspace because Seyi, once purportedly his friend and secret interlocutor, now writes some legal opinions that he (Emeka) believes is inimical to his own interest. Nobody has sued Awofeso in open court for fraud, to our knowledge; to make up for that, Ugwuonye in typical fashion starts to hint (without proof) that Awofeso is sought by US legal system, hence he has changed his name and cannot visit the US; that he (Awofeso) now courts EFCC who wants to put him (Emeka) behind bars, that is why he gives the opinions, etcheram, ad nauseum. This is Ugwuonye's standard fare: to impute pecuniary or advancement or protection motive to ANYBODY who opposes him, because he himself is an unprincipled person who does not believe anybody else has principles that guide them, that there is always an agenda.

Yet when people call him (Emeka) a fraudster par excellence, indicated several times by at least four of his clients and their agents suing him in open court in six different arenas and on two continents, he blows his gasket multiple times and sues for libel, slander and every other crime under the sun. Where are his clean hands handling equity?

I have NEVER seen a greater hypocrite and liar as Ugwuonye in my life, a fact made so much clearer ever since this Embassy real estate saga began in March 2009. It is bizarre.... When, during the two libel cases he filed against me, and the malicious prosecution one that I filed against him - which he dishonestly inflated to THREE CASES that I filed against him and only ONE he filed against me - he made certain legal moves, I kept calling attention to my lawyer, Muyiwa Sobo":, "Muyiwa, can Emeka do this, can he do that?" My lawyer would say, "Prof, calm down: Emeka knows he is lying, I know he is lying, you know he is lying, the Judge knows that he is lying....but to prove that he is lying, you will have to have a trial inside a trial, thereby derailing your main trial. All he wants to do is obfuscate. So it is just best to IGNORE his lies in court and focus on the main prize....and all his dishonest moves will be taken into account to paint the kind of person he is before the Judge. But like chess play, knowing the kind of unethical mind that he is, we will COUNTER his every single move at the appropriate ti
