Walter Onnoghen Is Now The New Chief Justice Of Nigeria

Amidst the long term controversies, Senate finally crown Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria. The Cross River State born is now the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria. His confirmation came after seeming attempts were made to stall his emergence, prompting subtle protests from loud voices within the legal and socio-political spheres in the country. Born on December 22, 1950 in Okurike, Biase Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State, Onnoghen attended schools in Nigeria and Ghana. He obtained his law degree from the University of Ghana, Legon, Ghana between 1974 and 1977, graduating with a 2nd Class Upper Division. He also attended the Nigerian Law School, Victoria Island, Lagos between 1977 and 1978 and was called to the Nigerian Bar thereafter. Between 1989 – 1998, he served as a High Court Judge in Cross River State before moving to the Court of Appeal, later in 1998 and serving there till 2005 when he was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. He’s enters the history books as the first CJN from Cross River State. Onnoghen becomes the first Southerner in 29 years to occupy this position, the last being Justice Ayo Irikefe. He’s worth it and he deserves the praises as moving the nation forward now lies within the tip of tongue as his good rule will save Nigeria a piece of silver in the nearest future.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
