A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt and presided over by Justice Ifeanyichukwu Wodi has dismissed two applications filed by E.M.B. Opurum, the Onye Ishi of Etche Land seeking to stop the suit bordering on the Okehi Kingdom of Traditional Rulers Council pending before the court.
The claimant in the suit, His Royal Highness, Eze Christopher Nwakama has dragged the Onye Ishi of Etche, His Eminence, Eze E.M.B Opurum, who is the first respondent in the suit, to the State Hight Court over his continued interferences in the affairs of Okehi Kingdom of traditional rulers and Chiefs’ affairs and prayed the court to grant his reliefs sought in the matter and stop him from interfering and meddling in the affairs of Okehi Kingdom.
However, the Onye Ishi of Etche in his preliminary objection to the suit through his legal representative in the matter, filed two applications and urged the court to dismiss the suit on the grounds that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the matter because the name in which the claimant sued in the suit was not a juristic person as well as an abuse of court process by the claimant.
The respondent hinged his arguments on the premise that the suit was an abuse of court process, having filed a previous suit pending at Okehi High Court, arguing that the same prayers sought in the suit were the same and urged the court to dismiss the suit in its entirety
Responding on point of the law, the claimant counsel, Emmanuel Kalu (Esq) told the court to dismiss the defendants application on the grounds that the reliefs and prayers sought by the claimant in the aforementioned suit were not the same and did not constitute an abuse of court process, adding that the traditional rulers laws of the state permitted the Okehi Kingdom Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs and the claimant to sue as a juristic person/
The trial judge, Justice Iheanyichukwu in his ruling dismissed the two applications brought by Onye Ishi of Etche, Eze E.M.B. Opurum challenging the suit, and added that the arguments the defendants canvassed in their preliminary objection was lacking in merits
The trial judge held that the claimant applicant suit was not an abuse of court process and therefore had right to sue the defendants.
On the issue of jurisdiction, the trial judge ruled that the court had jurisdiction to adjudicate on the suit even as he awarded no cost against any party.
The judge later adjourned the matter for continuation on 5th May, 2021 for claimant’s motions on interlocutory injunction and setting aside a purported chieftaincy coronation by E.M.B Opurum, Onye, Ishi of Etche during the pendency of the suit.

Today, we shall embark on a journey to discover the best ways to maximize your bonuses and rewards at South African Casinos. As you know, bonuses and rewards are vital aspects of the online gambling experience, as they allow you to increase your chances of winning and extend your playtime.

But which bonuses and rewards to pursue? After all, there are so many options available nowadays, making it challenging to determine what floats your boat. We’ll guide you through this labyrinth and unveil the secrets to maximizing your online casino experience, so read on.

Which Bonuses Are Available?

To begin with, let us discuss the types of bonuses and rewards available at top ZAR casinos online. There are several types of bonuses and rewards, including welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, no deposit bonuses, free spins, loyalty points, VIP bonuses, and cashback. Each of these bonuses and rewards has its unique benefits, and by taking advantage of them, you can enhance your gambling experience.

Welcome Bonuses at ZAR Casinos

South African Casinos offer some of the most generous welcome bonuses in the industry. These bonuses are designed to give you a head start in your gaming journey.

For example, Springbok Casino offers R11,500 as a Welcome Bonus that’s spread throughout your first three deposits, while Casino.com will gift you double your initial deposit up to R4000 and 200 Free Spins! Of course, make sure you read the terms and conditions and that you actually understand them before claiming the bonus.

So what will you usually find in these conditions? The T&C should always discuss the wagering requirements and lay out all of the details you need to know in order to withdraw what you’ve won using the bonus.

Let’s take a look at a previously mentioned bonus by Springbok Casino. To unlock their bonus you must use the coupon codes. The minimum you need to deposit is R20. Of course, Springbok reminds its patrons that these coupon codes are valid only for a single deposit.

Furthermore, it is imperative that the coupon code be entered prior to depositing, as it cannot be retroactively credited to any customer’s account. In order to fully avail the benefits of the bonus, you must fulfill the wagering requirements which are 30 times the sum of the deposit plus the bonus. At the T&C, you’ll also find out which games qualify towards completing the wagering requirements as often skill-based games such as poker don’t count.

Choose The Right Games

Let’s move on to games. If you want to maximize bonuses and rewards you should choose your game wisely. You can’t use the bonuses for all the games found at the casino. For instance, most bonuses, if not all, cater to slot enthusiasts. On the other hand, if you’re more geared toward live casino games you are out of luck as many casinos restrict the bonus use for these games.

You should also keep an eye out for games with a high RTP percentage. This percentage indicates the amount of money that a game pays back to its players over time. The higher the RTP, the better your chances of winning and making the most of those bonuses and rewards.

Check Out The Loyalty Programs

When you’re all out your welcome bonus, and you’ve found the games that accept the bonuses offered by the casino, you shouldn’t waste a minute before signing up for the casino’s loyalty program. These programs reward loyal players with exclusive bonuses, gifts, and even VIP access to special events. The more you play, the higher your loyalty status, and the greater your rewards.

Be On The Lookout For Other Promotions

Another crucial strategy is to keep an eye out for seasonal or special promotions. The top South African casinos frequently offer special promotions for holidays, new game releases, or other events. For example, during the Christmas season, it’s very popular for casinos to give out free spins for Christmas-themed slots.

The same goes for any other major holiday or event. These promotions often offer generous bonuses and rewards, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled and take advantage of them when they arise. Keep in mind that all of the promotions come with certain restrictions, not only the welcome bonuses we’ve discussed above, so make sure to read the T&C of the recurring promotions as well.
