Joe Agi (SAN) Extends olive branch of Peace

By

 JOE AGI (SAN) HOLDS OUT THE OLIVE BRANCH: SUES FOR PEACE AND COOPERATION.


The primary election has come and gone. Winner has emerged and plans for the main by-election are being executed already. The election ended with some in frayed nerves that should be defrayed with our humane behavioural disposition at this juncture.


Chief Joe Agi SAN Campaign Organization is not ignorant of the trite that time such as this, it requires little thought to realise that we have to depend on each other at every turn of our lives and endeavour to achieve a particular goal. A goal such as the contest to fly the party's flag and eventually wins the race as in the forthcoming northern Cross River Senatorial by-election.


We must try to avoid the bullying, aggressive, scowling and critical attitude in our relationship with supporters of former aspirants. Since variety is the spice of life, none of us has a monopoly of brains or wisdom. We must therefore learn to be tolerant of the views and opinions of others. This is the time to sheathe our swords and earnestly conjoin forces as party adherents. Already, stakeholders have started calling for reconciliation. 


As one people expressing our political opinions and seeking to lead the people politically, we have to show ourselves to be a people of courage, humility, unselfish and magnanimous in victory. Such deeds will mark us as true people in the best tradition of our democracy.


I'm happy and greatly pleased at this moment to once again add my expression of gratitude to the leaders and faithful of our great party, the APC for their sincere and devoted efforts thus far on behalf of Chief Joe Agi SAN Campaign Organization by waving and putting forward an olive branch on behalf of chief Joe Agi SAN — signifying a call for truce and cooperation in the days ahead.


In such spirit, I call on our teeming supporters and associates to stop any form of bickering, unhealthy debate, commentary and opinion articles on print or electronic media capable of hurting the feelings of our brethren that loss gallantly at the just concluded primary election. As our loyal and ardent supporters, no need wasting your energy to pull down or pull to pieces, anybody. Rather, we're enjoined to save such energy to pull together at the poll comes October 31st. Whosoever goes contrary to the aforesaid, does so in bad faith and not in the interest of our principal or for the party.


May I as well appeal to the various consciences of the rest aspirants to accept this olive branch in the spirit of sportsmanship.


God bless you all!



Hon. Gabe Ugor

Director-General, Chief Joe Agi SAN Campaign Organization.

IGBO DAUGHTERS (WOMEN) NOW TO INHERIT WILLS. UKEJE V. UKEJE

By
In Igbo Customary Law, succession and inheritance are taken for granted as enuring by the principle of primogeniture. In other words, the eldest male child (Okpala or Diokpa) of the intestate has a sole claim to the estate of the deceased. Hence, female children do not inherit their deceased parents. Against this backdrop, a suit arose at a Lagos State High Court. It was instituted by one of the daughters of the deceased Lazarus Ogbonnaya Ukeje, who challenged the grant of Letters of Administration to her mother (and widow of the deceased) and her brother to her exclusion. She maintained that being a child of the deceased, the grant was discriminatory having offended section 42 (2) of the 1999 Constitution. Appealing against the decision of the Lagos High Court that found in favour of the Claimant, the Defendants/Appellants cited Igbo Customary Law as the basis for which she was disinherited. The Court of Appeal affirmed the ruling of the lower court. Further dissatisfied, the Appellan...

DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ALLOW PREGNANCY BEFORE MARRIAGE?

By
BY REV Fr Ojo Joe. Let me quickly say the simple answer to the above question is no. But then, how come we see, many times wedding celebration of couples who are pregnant or have even given birth in the Catholic church? The answer to this question forms the basis of this write up. Since this article is meant to answer non catholics who want to know about catholics and catholics who want to know more about their Faith, I have taken for myself the authority of Jesus as written in the scripture only, that we all may come to know that, such wedding is not abomination to God, but a healing for damage of sin already committed. The Catholic church preaches strongly against sex before marriage. In fact, it is wrong for a man and woman to live together if they are not married. So if sex is a sin before marriage, then there should not be pregnancy in the first place. But then if the couple, for any reason we know not, had sex and it leads to pregnancy, The Church is careful not to give penalty t...
