Court Refuses Sanusi’s Prayer Over Suspension

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi: court rejects exparte motion
 
Ousted Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, on Wednesday suffered a temporary set back as a Federal High Court siting in Abuja and presided by Justice Gabriel Kolawole, refused to grant his ex parte application for his return to office pending he determination of the suit he filed challenging President Jonathan’s powers to suspend him from office.
The judge declined the invitation to make the orders being sought by Sanusi on the ground that it would be unfair to grant such an application without affording the President, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police the opportunity to be heard.
Sanusi had filed the application last Monday where in he urged the court to make an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants from obstructing, disturbing, stopping or preventing him in any manner whatsoever, from performing the functions as the governor of the CBN and enjoying in full, the statutory powers and privileges attached to the office.
 
 
The judge declined the invitation to make the orders being sought by Sanusi on the ground that it would be unfair to grant such an application without affording the President, the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General of Police the opportunity to be heard.
The court ordered Sanusi to put the President and the other defendants in the suit on notice, to enable them to be heard and fixed further hearing for Wednesday, 12th March.
In refusing the application, the court noted that it had, not only the judicial powers to declare the suspension unlawful, but to order that Sanusi be returned to perform his duties as the governor of the CBN and that even where the tenure had lapsed, that the court can also order the defendants to pay Sanusi such remuneration and allowances on the basis that his suspension also carried with it the stoppage of his remuneration and allowances.
“It is unsafe, judicially speaking, to embark on far reaching interim orders which have all the attributes of a mandatory injunction without according the defendant a hearing. Pondering on the reliefs sought, I feel hesitant and constrained to grant the plaintiff’s motion ex parte”. The judge stated.
He further noted that another issue he would like to raise when defendants have been duly served with the originating summons and motion on notice was whether in the light of the third alteration Act number 20 of the Constitution of Nigeria, whether the Federal High Court still has the jurisdiction to entertain issues dealing with employment, notwithstanding the questions that Sanusi had set down for determination in his originating summons

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises”  says Dr. Fi
