I am really proud of the intelligence of Barr Falana (SAN). This man is very sound.
Seriously Nigerian and Nigerians still have a long way to liberation and recovery,the man is making some good points and analysis
Just look at the kind of un serious comments highlighted in the comments section.the people truly deserve the leaders they get
What is he saying? That has no relation to what the issue is. Were the embassies freely awarded the lands? Why shouldn't they pay ground taxes if we are paying same in their own countries? What will foreign gov'ts do if Nigeria owes them past required time? I don't get it! True, we have no right to invade the privacies of embassies but if there are agreements that they'll pay ground taxes, they should respect them, irrespective of who they are!
@@romeNjakaActually an embassy of a Country is regarded as the sovereign land of that Country hence US embassy in Nigeria is actually US soil in Nigeria and Nigeria has no control/jurisdiction over that land hence ground rent isnt applicable to any Embassy in Nigeria
It is so funny @romeNjaka that you think you know the law more than a legal luminary. Emotions doesn't matter but the facts and Mr Falana has done justice to that.
Falana is wrong.... 2 months' notice was given
@@chineduokeke8659 imagine what will happen in US if Nigerian embassy is owing them? Why would u support these people of taking advantage of Nigeria? Can Nigeria owe like that in their own cpuntry? Govt is working now, u are still complaining and supporting debtors, yet u said u want a working country. We are not ready. ANY GOVT FROM ANY COUNTRY CAN SHUT DOWN ANY EMBASSY ON ITS SOIL.
Nigeria don't discuss the contents of the arguments but attacking person ,that is why landlord evicts tenants anyhow .Nigerians seriously deserve their leaders .
You can owe house rent, but landlord have no right to evict you?
@@OFNETWORK-y5cyou Dey mind him, you can owe rent, but the landlord can’t evict you on his property he build with his hard earn money. Abroad you won’t see landlord in person but payment must live your account monthly because you won’t want to be blacklist for rent another property. No one will tell you to have available balance in your account to pay bills. Nigeria 🇳🇬 we do rubbish we can’t do abroad 😅
@OFNETWORK-y5c dont you have sense at aĺl or maybe you dont understand what he said. He said instead of doing that, i mean sealing or evict any tenant on your property, let a court decide that. It means charge to person to court instead of putting law into your hand. Simple!!!
@@blessingOdunayo-w8jYou can talk like that bcos you have not been in the situations of some landlords. Your approach is the same as that of someone knowing that what he is doing is wrong, but bcos he knows that the person bearing the brunt can do nothing to him, he still does the wrong thing bcos he knows the stress involved in going through the court process. In the example he gave abroad, how many tenants would refuse to pay their rent when due and wait for landlords to take them to court? Like he said, if every tenant would be required to provide recommendations from his previous landlords, would tenants not behave. Tenants in Nigeria are overprotected by the law at the detriment of landlords. If you are a landlord in Nigeria and you have suffered in the hands of tenants, you would take a more realistic position on the matter of tenancy. You may have to make going to court a second occupation. If you are an employee, it makes things worse for you. How many times would you be taking excuse from work to go to court. You would say employ an agent or a lawyer! Yes, but do you know what it would cost you financially, and the unnecessary distractions? You make it look like sueing your tenant to court is like dragging him to your oba or chief where cases are heard and judgement given immediately.
We have become a disgrace to ourselves, a lawless place. Even little thing we cannot do it well. Smh
You can’t close down an embassy because that embassy represent the land of another country. The laws of Nigeria is not applicable to another country.
Funny people
Such embassies are granted access to be by the government; even the head of embassy, any ambassador, can be declared persona non grata and given specific time to exit Nigeria.
You Falana is just making noise, as usual
You are the one that is funny, Even if an ambassador can be declared non grata and the embassy shut down ,Is it on payment of land use charge will it be?
@@macugwuda7758Thank you my brother.......this man is grossly known to be a hater, a non well wisher to this administration, so glaring 😅
One question I wanna ask is : does it mean that Nigeria government is not paying it's rent for all the Nigerian embassies abroad??......this man called Falana is a clear joke!😅
@@macugwuda7758 This discussion is above your paygrade!
I ❤❤❤❤ this living Legend. Your Judicial analysis is always very clear 💯
Mr falana SAN
Those past years was when our judiciary was independent and was committed to their duties.
For now we simply don’t have a strong judiciary that would stand on the true principles of delivering justice
Wike, an Agbero-turned lawyer who has never appeared in court and became a live-Bencher, will continue to humility Tinubu.
Here’s a man who believes thuggery is a way of life.
Good luck Suen.
Wike would've known this if he were an actual lawyer.
Dude is about to set off a diplomatic crisis for Tinubu. 😂
U lied and even for the fact u said wike would have known this since he is lawyer make it even more interesting.....everyone of u are just too biased bcos of ur hate
Don't mind that man he too do and I pity tinubu and Nigerian people
@@esomilesreally? Someone is stating the fact and you are saying it’s because of hate? Nobody hate anyone, all people want is for everyone to obey the rule of law. Take hate out of this discussion please.
😂
So you think Nigeria don't pay land rent for our embassies in other countries? The fact that you dislike Wike, doesn't make you see all his actions as wrong doings. 2ndly, ground rent is applicable to embassy and every other international agencies. Except it is issued by the govt of the said country
What does Wike know about Inviolable and yet is life bencher .
We jokes too much in this country called Nigeria.
Thanks Learned Femi Falana.
SAN
By Law and international law, nobody ,i mean nobody , be it govt or landlord can seal up any property without the processes of a court order.
The SAN is 100% correct.
Here in UK, tenants can be owing you for years but you still can't seal up or throw them out without going through court, and this process takes between 18months -30months .go and verify, this is a fact. And the moment you are kicked out, govt MUST provide you a shelter immediately.
Nigeria has alot to learn cos we are far behind international standards of governance.
I thought they said that wike is a law, how come he doesn't know international law?
Wike said he is a lawyer and he didn't know all these things.Lazy lawyer!
You can seal off or invade foreign land. Some countries see that as an act of war even
Nigeria embassy was demolished in Ghana. Nothing was said.
Thank you my person.......this mas has clearly lost his ground & values through all his recent fallacy & fake exhibition of non existent laws & hate speeches, derogatory marks and his obvious contraventions against the government of the day!🤔😔
So because Ghana did it and nothing happened, does it make it right? We really deserve the people that govern us
yeah you are right, ppls should go to court, but I tot the government has a power to take immediate action to save the country with or without court ruling.
See lobby.
Fubara, no, they pay again😂😂😂😂
There are a lot of ignorant comments on this thread. Every embassy is a property of a country. You cannot shutdown embassies.
Did you know Nigeria embassies inspect of huge indebtedness were not touched by their host country? Nigeria is not an island on its own. Trying to shutdown a embassy of any country is a declaration of war, in case you dont know. This is not politics. It is simply international diplomacy.
Nigeria High Commission in London is one of the highest debtors of congestion charges in London.
Wike seems in need of education on diplomacy.
Always a delight to take a listen to Falana.
Apt!
Nothing apt in the nonsense he is saying! Wike is not a nonentity in law and he must have a backbone to his actions!
Somebody that have never won any case in his life
😂😂😂@@ogborclement5420
@@ogborclement5420 you must be crazy
Wike no well.
He's gone rogue .
Baba!!!!long live sir
Don’t Nigeria embassies pay rent in other countries? So what u are saying is Nigeria can not close down any embassy
WIKE IS A STREET BOY, HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING THAN TOUTISM.
Wike is in trouble now. He must present his court order for sealing up and destroying buildings in Abuja.
I'm not surprised at all. This and many more is exactly what I expected from this administration.
God! This man must not die. If his children didn't take after him, God pls he must not die with this voracious appetite of Constitutional and legal knowledge.
Please is wike truly a lawyer
This man Don dey find case 😂😂 make them give am the case to handle na...
What an unintelligent comment!!!
The persons who ordered the sealing of properties know fully well that no Nigerian court, as is today, can stop or rule against them. They are everywhere!
Is Tinubu government not worst than the military junta? 🤷♂️
I think his government is still better ,cos obi would have been worse ,remember obi never conducted LGA election for 7 yrs as governor ,imagine him being a president ...
Very worse than military governments.
If another countries can come here to rent an appartment and failed to pay grant rent and go freely without being punished and you lawyer is supporting such illegality then it is a big shame.
That is not the case but even in such a case, you must still go to court.
Baba F saw the opportunity to cash out in the case😂😂😂, I am sure clients will start pouring, market done open 😂😂😂😂
What is this mugu talking?
Wetin be this. You sure say your brain dey function so
"Channels tv Lawyer"
So who are you? at least he’s someone
But Nigeria 🇳🇬 embassies was shut down several times in other nations during past presidents Mohammadu Buhari tenure due to fail to pay taxes so why is this one different s 😮
Thanks for bringing this one out let Falana continue to say nonsense from his mouth. Please if you owed land rent go and pay it.
I think learned SAN is talking about the time when judiciary and her justices/judges were impartial, but in this days of Wike's judges on the benches; I think the fcta of Wike can do whatever it pleases. The tables have turned, it's not as their "lordships'pleases". The justices are now in the purse of Wike. Sorry!
I dont blame the SAN, but Channel TV. Please, channel tv should bring another san to argue with this man .
I didn't like the laywer,mr seun don't bring this man u love to ur program again
I may not agree with SAN. Is it right for them to occupy the land without paying for the rentage?
When they acquire the land, it automatically belongs to the country. You can't even invade their premises no matter what happens inside the embassies. It is called diplomatic immunity. Nigeria can not seal up or shut down a country. The embassies represent their countries.
@emmanuelekundayo5619 this " immunity" was created in the comment section on social media right?😂😂
Better drop that phone and pick up a book
Free legal advice.
Oh Chim
Some people are foolish.
Falana is right.
Wike should be withdrawn his bench as a lawyer because he kept embarrassing Nigerians I thoughts the said he read law and become a life bencher without appearing for court for once
1. One of the biggest things countries fear in today’s world is “diplomatic stand-off” which I know Wike is not even considering;
2. All of you in the comment section,when this matter eventually gets to court and they rule against Nigeria and awards punitive and compensatory damages against us,are you going to be the ones to pay the compensations and damages for Nigeria?
These Nigeria govt no Dey follow any rule of law
Wike is doing everything to please his principal.
Una all wey dey yan dust for this comment section no no anything about Law and constitution. You can't invade a country's embassy. They have their Federal army on standby. It’s going to be a war against the Nigeria.
Shay the minister na Lawyer abi no be law school e go? 😂
Don't mind Falana. Charge and bail Lawyer!
He never practice oneday
Na night school Wike go 😂
@@romeNjaka I will mind him. He made lots of sense in his submission
@@romeNjakayou call a very senior lawyer a charge and bail lawyer?
Nigerian embassy in Hungary was almost evicted because they couldn't pay rent. Falana is just looking for means to cash out
Fct Minister chief Wike vs his hater's 10-0 ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Haters really, with all this fact spitted out you are calling people haters, whenever Wike do things that are right he always get his credits but you don’t expect him to go against the rule of the law and people should be singing praises
Wike is a charge and bail lawyer.
Drug Baron and his area boy's are using another law, Datti told you people in Nigeria that Nigeria constitution is gone. Today is happening😂.
Drug Baron has taking over everywhere in Nigeria institution's. U na well done oooo
Can Wike go to a foreign country to collect ground rent? If the answer is no then an embassy is not required to pay ground rent.
Now i we not be paying anything again until the Court has me to, because i am paying and others doesn't pay so no need, since this the Nigeria we choose.
Na the rule
If there will be any payment of such it be pay by the ministry of foreign affairs not the embassy himself
Is Wike not a lawyer?
No body intended invading any embassy. Falana is fond of crying wolf at the top of his voice when there’s no wolf. The FCT minister merely highlighted the the names of defaulting organisations.
Embassies are not exempted from all taxes. FI RS has all the information about the subject matter.
All this lawyers can make u stupid...so embassies are not allow to pay tax? Is it only in Nigeria?...
I pray he should go after USA first
Meanwhile Wike is a supposed trained Lawyer.
A disgrace who doesn't know A or B in law. Which chambers did he practice. If not for motopark politics alot of these people running around would be pushing wheel barrow
Where is his law office?
😂😂😂@@worldtraveler8571
This man has lost memories because this is how he mislead fubara in his actions.
This man was in the country when Obaseki demolished the hotel of Tony Kabaka in Edo state two years ago he never said anything
Smile, bro is he’s not invited in any matter or issue you don’t expect him to be all knowing or to be everywhere.
What an unintelligent comment!!!
Court is your constituency 😅😅😅, you want customer. Fantastic
Just be educated from his constituency. He’s not looking for customers as you think.
Is it not better to keep his mouth shut?
Mr falana is right. As far as embassies are concerned they are sovereignty nations in Nigeria, police can't make any arrest once you are in the compound of any embassy and police can't search their vehicles as long as the vehicle carry diplomatic number plate.
You might not like his face but he is good at his job.
Is Wike a lawyer?😂😂😂😂😂........ They was a country.
He is
Sir which court are you talking about, Are you talking about this Drug Baron court.
The APC of today are using another law in Nigeria of today.
Our constitution is gone
Oga go and sleep lie lie lawyer are the problem of this country. People don't pay money you want government to thank them
Guy, na this interview that I watch, na him you too watch? And you are saying this…😊
Senu Diplomatic organisations are taxes exempted. Therefore the minister should be properly advised.
So if an embassy staff buys food, he/she should not pay because......😂😂😂😂😂
You can’t close down an embassy because that embassy represent the land of another country. The laws of Nigeria is not applicable to another country.
Oga if Nigerians who own the country are forced to pay rent, then foreign countries must pay their rent
@@iKingsleynope.That embassy land isn't regarded as Nigerian land.Thats
Why u can arrest a criminal inside an embassy if that embassy accommodates him eh Julian of wikileaks was accommodated in Ecuadorian embassy in UK for over 2 years even with UK authorities demanding his arrest and he was arrested immediately he left the embassy
"An Embassy staff" is not the Embassy, - (a physical location and property), dummy. 😢.
@@chineduokeke8659it is hard to respond to people who don’t know the meaning of an embassy. May God help us.
Why mentioning Wike. Is the rent they owe going to Wike pocket. The embassies can not be close but they can owe Nigerian. Everyone looking for any avenue to come on Wike
Defending rubush at your age as a layer.
Mr Falana we not a lawyers but we are not stupid either.
The Nigeria law made provision for the freedom of movement of every citizens but organ of government ( police) responsible for maintaining the law can stop your movement .
Should the citizens asked for court permission from the police to obey lawful order from the police?
You be typical mumu😂😂😂😂
You sure you are not the real mumu?@@RosalieKoundi
Embassies are considered sovereign land
Of any Country even in Nigeria eg US embassy in Nigeria is considered US soil eventhough it is in Nigeria so Nigeria laws
Dont apply there so ground rent of an embassy doesnt apply and cant be paid to Nigeria.
@@chineduokeke8659 does this same privilege applies to all Nigeria embassies worldwide?
In South Africa they switch off water & Electricity of Nigerian embassy also block not to operate last year because they dont pay for utilities in south Africa. I dont believe in all this that they can seal embassy or stop not to operates. All over the world they dont respect nigerian be it Citizen, embassy and ambassador.
Basket mouth don start again.This is how you deceived FUBARA.Embassies should not pay ground rent.Can Nigeria embassy not pay rent in London,America,Berlin etc?Is there court in Nigeria?Dey play by saying go to court.If Ur tenant is not paying rent,Falana,heheheheje
It’s funny how this lawyer is misrepresenting facts! The government cannot invade an embassy. However, the government can ask them to close down the embassy and LEAVE!!
All he is saying is, whatever action you want to take, you must get court order simple.
The arm of government that can do that is the court. If the reason is a breach of law, only a court can establish that a law has been breached. No other arm of government has such an authority.
The executive can close down an embassy but only as part of its constitutional prerogative to set foreign policy.
Listen again to understand his position
Typical Nigerian politicians he would soon be invited to go and share in the looting
Are they not paying their rents for what??.
😂Wike thinks he is a General and can do anything....this is not so!!!
Was Nigeria embassy has not been closed before know.
Nigerian Embassy is ihas and have not paid transport for London the congestion charges for years now . British authorities can not and will never contemplate sealing of our Embassy.
They will never and can never complain because they are stealing from the country, they partially own Nigeria
Wike will continue to torment you Mr falana
I no dey believe this man again 😂😂😂
But Nigeria embassy were closed down in some parts of the world for owing rent while should Nigeria case be different mr falana
You we explain taya for defending criminality politicians, who does not have school certificate and his age
Most of the embassy owned the whole building the buy it they don't share the building with other countries embassy or commercial use like America government buy it they are the owners America embassy don't share their building with other countries embassy or for commercial use ,all over the world America owned their own embassy alone their buy it
Are you sure you even listened to the interview?
Tell them to go and pay their ground rent and stop these nonsense talk.
This man should do a research before talking rubbish, nigeria embassy all over the world 80% are paying for their space so Nigeria can actually demand payment if it will benefit the country economically I hate people fighting the progress of this hopeful country
Ground rent is not tax, but, rent. So, embassies are required to pay😂
If they buy the building like America do all over the world the pay taxes to the government of the country but if it is rent like Nigeria (Nigerian Consulate) in hongkong the Nigeria government pay the rent to the agency of the building
I think we should be listening properly. He has not said fcta cannot collect ground rents but must approach the court for an order to collect or even seal if courts finds it has the powers to so do.
You are the one not listening, Seun said embassies are not supposed to pay taxes according to a Court ruling @SamuelOluwole-r9j
You are not listening if you are listening u would have heard that according to Vienna convention embassy are not required to pay rent @@SamuelOluwole-r9j
😂😂😂😂 why they not pay,can u do that in there's country,why why
Always turning the law upside down to suite self belief 😅
Ronu
He has won cases against Nigeria ecowas court and international court
Embassy is a sovereign country
He's one of the best lawyers that is known internationaly by other countries
this lawyer don dey become agbado lawyer….
it seems he does not know that the vienna convention was thrown out the window in europe to russia, so why should nigeria uphold the vienna fraud?
was the vienna convention upheld by the usa in south america recently where they invaded an embassy to remove an asylum seeker?
the executive conducts foreign policies not vienna convention and not the judiciary!
oga lawyer, soon you will tell us wetin dey pain you, whether na VDM oooo, or na thiefnubu…
The same Femi Falana said the Assembly members that defected in River State automatically lost their seats without going to the court to cause them to lose their seat.. He is speaking from the two sides of his mouth. Falana is a Senior lawyer, he must be upright in his argument.
Law is not emotional, calm down
Falana is losing more integrity
Falana please tell them to pay their land rent Sir.
Postulator in chief😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you are that good go and study law then start talk the way he is talking for clients to pour in to make money. He does not use money to win cases for his clients, he uses his intelligence, its only the ones that claimed they study law, but cannot practice it by using money.
Were (crazy) ni WIKE yi o .
Wike is just doing anyhow
This man is no more human rights lawyer is hypocrite bcos is possible for Nigeria ‘Embassey in overseas not their rent money to me our elite is our problem
See this one falana social media lawyer
Sometimes, you will think this man knows what his saying. Until you fact-check him and discovered that he spilt nonsense. The law of a nation must be respected in totality.
Mr lawyer you are wrong
How is he a liar? You don't even have to be a lawyer to know this. Mr. Falana is right. He is not saying that it is right for an Embassy not to pay ground rent. It is the action proposed by Wike that is senseless
Proof him wrong ,pls ,,and stop supporting criminals politicians who rig your generation unborn to make your generation poor 😊😊
I never hear or see where embassy pay grand rent in any part of the world
Not correct, the houses and the landscapes occupied by any Embassies must be paid by their Countries they represented.
Let this lawyer and his Co-lawyers better prepared to join Atiku, El Rufai and Co for the formation of a great Coalition. Falana will never see anything good things done by Tinubu Government.
Social Media lawyer. Falana go and win case in court , not on channels and Arise tv.
melodramatic
