As one of the duties of Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Onnoghen, GCON is to appoint Notary Public who met all the requirements under the Notaries Public Act upon application to the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court.

 

Such applicant, a practising legal practitioner in litigation/Court matters must apply through an application letter to Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court (3 copies) attaching his CV on his law firm letterhead paper (23 copies in Lagos State, while 15 copies in other States), Call to bar Certificate (3 photocopies), evidence of payment of practising fees for 7 years before 31st of March of each year and law firm Certificate or his principal’s law firm Certificate (3 copies).

 

It will be processed before a letter will be sent to Chief Judge of that State where such applicant is practising actively for him to meet certain conditions. The Chief Judge will inform such applicant to bring 10 letters of recommendation from State High Court Judges. Such High Court Judge usually requires such applicant who has handled a case before them to attach Court precedent to a letter applying for recommendation or had concluded a case before him to Judgment or write the letter upon interviewing the applicant on his litigation experience, etc.

 

After submitting the letters of recommendation, it is for the Chief Judge to send it to Chief Justice of Nigeria for the applicant to move another stage which is doing oaths, etc. It will undergo another processing before the Chief Justice of Nigeria will approve it and send the names of the successful applicants to the Chief Judges of the State they are practising to do inauguration to them.

 

A Notary Public is supposed to be a legal practitioner who has integrity, trustworthy, an officer of the Supreme Court and have wide legal experience to cope with the duties imposed on him. The duties of Notary Public include: preparing and authenticating legal documents; creating or affecting rights; administering oaths and affirmations; taking affidavits and statutory declarations; witnessing and authenticating the execution of certain classes of documents; taking acknowledgments of deeds and other conveyances; protest notes and bills of exchange; providing notice of foreign drafts, preparing marine or ship’s protests in cases of damage; providing exemplifications and notarial copies, and performing certain other official acts depending on the jurisdiction.

 

Our correspondent while communicating to one of the successful applicant, Prince Olumide Akindiya who is also our general counsel expressed his joy as follows:

 

‘After much challenge and procedural delay, I am still happy being appointed as a Notary Public of Federal Republic of Nigeria by Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Onnoghen, GCON after 9 years of active law practice, that is 10 years at the bar and 6 years of running a firm.

 

I also appreciate 10 Lagos State High Court Judges who gave me Letters of Recommendation having handled cases before them or had judgments before them in the course of meeting all the requirements for the appointment. Eyes have seen, but strong passion renew the focus on law practice. I pray my Creator gives me the wisdom and courage to comply with the duties imposed and continue to fight for justice inside and outside the Court rooms for Clients as apostle in the temple of justice.’

 

We at Sahara Weekly Magazine extend our felicitations to our general counsel on his appointment. This further portrays him as a vision driving, active legal practitioner to work with while tapping from his legal experience over the years. Definitely, we will update our readers as the inauguration will be fixed by Chief Judge of Lagos State, Hon. Justice Opeyemi Oke for successful applicants.

“MFM’s Olukoya: ‘Men Who Deflower Women Enter Spiritual Bondage Without Knowing’

"MFM’s Olukoya: ‘Men Who Deflower Women Enter Spiritual Bondage Without Knowing’

MFM’s Dr. Olukoya Warns Against Premarital Sex, Citing Spiritual Consequences

The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has sparked discussions after emphasizing the spiritual consequences of premarital sex, particularly for men who deflower women.

In a recent sermon, Dr. Olukoya stated that when a man takes a woman’s virginity, a spiritual covenant is formed between them. According to him, this connection can lead to serious repercussions, including bondage and generational consequences if not broken.

He further warned that such relationships could transfer demonic influences, affecting future partners and causing unseen spiritual turmoil.

“If you’re a man and you have disvirgined somebody or more than one lady, don’t be surprised if your life is upside down,” he cautioned. “Because when you disvirgin a woman, you wet your male organ with the blood from that woman. So you have formed a covenant with that woman. To now say you did not marry the person is a serious problem you have caused for yourself. It will go from generation to generation unless you break it.”

Dr. Olukoya also stressed the dangers of unknowingly engaging with spiritually afflicted individuals, stating that if the woman is under demonic influence, the man also inherits those spiritual ties. “When you move over to another woman, the extra luggage you collected from that demonic girl, you transfer it to another girl that has no demon, that one too will collect,” he explained.

His statement has generated widespread reactions, with some supporting his stance as a warning against casual relationships, while others argue that the message may instill fear rather than promote responsible choices.

Dr. Olukoya, known for his strong teachings on purity and spiritual warfare, has consistently preached against premarital sex, describing it as a doorway to spiritual problems. His latest remarks have once again reinforced his long-standing position, urging individuals to take their spiritual lives seriously.

Tope Alabi’s Revelation on Early Career Sparks Online Debate

Renowned Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi has ignited controversy online after opening up about her early days in the music industry, revealing the real reason she refrained from wearing earrings, jewelry, and wigs at the beginning of her career.

In a now-viral video, Alabi disclosed that her decision was not driven by divine instruction but rather by financial constraints. She clarified that God never instructed her to avoid wearing jewelry or wigs, debunking long-held assumptions about her modest appearance being a spiritual choice.

According to her, she simply could not afford quality earrings, chains, wigs, or other accessories when she started her career. However, many people misinterpreted her look as a religious stance rather than a financial reality.

The gospel singer further explained that her choice of attire is often dictated by the nature of her performances.

“God has never told me not to wear earrings, chains, or wigs. I’m a theater practitioner to the core, so I understand what fits each song. If a song does not require me to wear earrings, I won’t use them in the video. In the past, people assumed I avoided earrings for religious reasons, but the truth is, I simply could not afford them at the time,” she stated.

Alabi’s statement has since triggered heated discussions online, especially among fans who recall instances when she seemingly sang against wearing jewelry and wigs.
