Let’s explore the death of President James A. Garfield

On Sep. 19, 1881, James Abram Garfield, the 20th president of the United States, died.

His final weeks were an agonizing march towards oblivion that began on July 2, while preparing to leave Washington for a family

vacation to the New Jersey seashore.

A man of great energy, eloquence and charm, Garfield was in a superlative mood that morning.

At the breakfast table, he horsed around with his two teenaged sons while singing a few patter songs written by the musical kings of his day,

Gilbert and Sullivan.

Garfield suffered two gunshots on July 2, 1881, but did not die until 80 days later of complications from sepsis.

He might have survived had his injuries not been contaminated, either by the gunshots themselves ortheinterventions that foowed.

As I’ve always pointed out on this street, we’re egalitarian and if elections are free and fair in most SE States, many parading themselves as Politicians from the SE won’t even win their wards

Late Chief Nzeribe was a Senator representing Orlu for a long time but everyone knew

at that time he never for once, won in Oguta.

I recalled in one of the elections, he was up against Rev Egesionu, a freshly minted man of God from the US

Chief Nzeribe was so scared that Rev Egesionu would defeat him that he drove to the Rev’s house one early morning

Rev asked Chief of the sudden visit after pleasantries. Everyone understands how Chief Nzeribe was larger than life and to have visited that early was a very big deal

Chief said he visited Rev as a brother and to tell him to step down for him

When I say crazy, widest but definitely true things do happen, it actually does

For me, it’s Americans who voted for DJT, Russians believing Putin, British being dumb enough to vote for Brexit and above all educated Nigerians and lawyers voted and supporting @officialABAT

Let’s also see something similar.

A thread >>>

Willie and George Muse were two African American albino brothers who were born in Virginia in the late 19th century.

In 1899, they were kidnapped by sideshow agents who were searching for unique and exotic

individuals to showcase in their traveling shows. The brothers were taken from their home, and their mother was told that they had died.

The sideshow agents claimed that the brothers were actually from Ecuador and were members of a cannibalistic tribe.

Have you read about the Mau Mau Uprising?

Let’s examine some facts about the Uprising

A thread >>>

The Mau Mau fighters were mainly drawn from Kenya's major ethnic grouping, the Kikuyu.

More than a million strong, by the start of the 1950s the Kikuyu had been increasingly economically marginalised as years of white settler expansion ate away at their land holdings.

Since 1945, nationalists like Jomo Kenyatta of the Kenya African Union (KAU) had been pressing

the British government in vain for political rights and land reforms, with valuable holdings in the cooler Highlands to be redistributed to African owners.

But radical activists within the KAU set up a splinter group and organised a more militant kind of nationalism.

This morning, let’s X-ray what happened Boer Concentration Camps, by the British in South Africa

It’s British concentration camps and 43 in total, set up during the Second Anglo Boer War between 1899 to 1902. They house women and children that were rounded up from the farms.

It started when Lord Kitchener introduced a scorched earth policy to burn farms and homesteads as well as all kill livestock in an attempt to bring a quick end to the Anglo Boer war

The Anglo Boer war was supposed to be a quick operation against the unorganised and untrained

Boer fighters

As the Boers employed tactics like guerrilla warfare, the war became increasingly more expensive and with no end in sight.

Kitchener’s scorched earth policy was seen as a way to disrupt the Boer supply chain but

Most lawyers would ordinarily think the quoted rule is one but sadly it isn’t.

It 2 separate requirements and the court approaches it in three different stages.

Let’s look at how the rules is applied.

1. An application for Judicial Review must be brought promptly

https://twitter.com/chymaker/status/1654910517062795265

1. Whatever happens, it must be brought within 3 months.

These are the two rules.

However the court adopts a very liberal approach by ensuring the application was brought promptly. If it was, the court goes on to consider the substantive claim.

However, if the application was not brought promptly but within 3 months, there must be cogent reason why it wasn’t brought promptly.

If the court is persuaded by the reason it wasn’t brought promptly, she goes ahead to consider the substantive claim.
