ma, are you a lawyer because from you writeup you seem to be someone who is cool headed and calculative, seriously if you have read my comment to the same idiot that you replied it is far not calm at all, please borrow me that calmness please

I am no lawyer oh. Thanks though

sunnysunny69:
The judge got this one wrong, you can not remand a girl this young in prison and a case that look civil. Bearing in mind no previous conviction against her and she must have been of good character hence she got the job. The judge should have release her on bail on condition she report at her local police station every week or come back to the police with sureties. This is an example of how a state manufacture criminals. My cousin in uk went to prison for 6 weeks, when he came out he had all the contacts in the dark world from this to that , all made in prison.

Oh my! He transformed, like totally metamorphosed

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CONTACT THIS GIRL? I WANNA PAY HER BAIL AND GET HER A GOOD ATTORNEY. I MA MAKE THIS EVIL COUPLE THAT DID THIS TO HER SPEND AND SPEND UNTIL I OUTSPEND THEM. BASTARDS!!! I AINT NEVER POSTED ON NL, BUT CANT STOMACH THIS HEARTBREAKING INJUSTICE. I MA FIGHT LIKE A LION TO HELP THIS POOR GIRL.
SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW HOW TO HELP HER. #fuckedupCountry!

oga throw away code of conduct away please! are you not in nigeria when a man stole millions and he was told to pay a small amount as punishment? where was the code of conduct when obasanjo milked the country and he is even spending it on our faces, where is the corrupt politician? in prison or their mansion, please the law is very much for the poor and not the rich. she did not wrong for threating her oga for the money she worked for but was denied her, why did the woman quickly call the husband and not call the girl to pay the money because she knows she is a SOCIALITE. f*ck the title and do the needful.

go educate the baboons with your criminal code and let the jungle justice began on our politicians and the useless rich men and women who are oppressing us

9jakohai:


As I said, she is within her rights to demand for her wages and fair treatment.

The problem started when she issued threats against the person of her employer, which can be considered a violation of the Criminal Code.

That is where the problem is.

Good morning.

Oh my!!! I see the few ones here who wouldn't want to learn, share and grow. Have you ever asked why so many people are ignorant of a lawful manner to dispute resolution? The adults have refused to grow, they would rather exchange banters than learn. It's about time someone starts educating a few more of them with open mind.

Oga no pay me 6k, I threaten to harm not only her but the whole family, let's laugh about that.

State your points clearly, I can't seem to make it out especially as it seems contradictory and I don't want to make any assumptions as regards what you mean. Are you castigating the girl or Adeola?

NwaAmaikpe:


That girl should be really punished..for being insensitive.


Why should she threaten her madam Over unpaid salaries..
Doesn't she know that we are in a recession.

May you work and not receive your salary
May people who are richer than you intimidate you.

To the stupid judge and the idiot debtor

NwaAmaikpe:

You are the insensitive one here not the girl...seems you've not worked without pay before!!

thank you ma for the response. is it not an adage that says that he that lives in the glass house should not throw stone. so she knows that she has lot to loose and she denied a poor girl her salary, for the poor girl to have come to work with you instead of following sugar daddies and mummies about, it is something that should be highly commendable but see what the useless socialite did? with all due respect, the threat is not a crime to me if i am a judge and such is brought to my court, i would harshly talk sense into the woman and admonish the girl on the best way to go and even to rub insult into the injury of the useless woman, i would give her the 6k in her presence, give her my contact if i can fix her up in university or provide her another job and finally disdain the police officer who brought the case to my court and finally, finally throw the file of the case through the window. LO BA TUN!

thornapple:

How did u assume she knew the husband or even have his contact?.
The husband should have known better if he is sensible enough to pay the poor girl her money than getting her behind bars.

It is finish......
there is no more laws in Nigeria,

that jugxe is currption personify

who in hi right sense will ask the girl to be remanded in prison, and set a bail of 50k, for demanding for lagal owned money

if labour, human rights, and Lagos govt does not take the case asap,

then its a conspiracy of the highest

9jakohai:


Agreed 100%...however in this era of 'Evans and company'...and 'Boko Haram' , all threats to life have to be taken seriously. (The young girl may have even committed an offence against the Criminal Code part five).

Wonder if the National Human rights commission and the Industrial Court could help. That's what they were set up for.

What makes you feel remanding her in prison,paying of fine and exposing her to hardship will make her not to carry out her threats.

The only thing that would make her not to go on with all these is for the woman to pay the money she own
her.

Enoquin:

I'm particularly interested in what landed the lady in court. No one should go around threatening another to demand your presumed lawful right. The madam certainly hasn't acted in good faith, but she should have sought a peaceful solution. The law is sacrosanct here.

Nairaland won't make her suffering go, but we can avoid another person from falling prey by collective educating ourselves on peaceful and lawful resolution of conflict.

I didn't want to comment yet..I decided to go thro some comments to see if I wouldd see a meaningful one first..God bless you.
While reading the story, I was fumed and almost threw my phone away in anger. How much would she use to open and close a case file at the police station and the court? Compared to the N6,000 she's shamelessly owing a teenager that she suppose to sponsor in the tertiary institution (while working for her)...can she treat her own daughter that way? If i see the woman, I'll threaten...Infact I'll kneel down to God in prayers now (unless the girl has been accused with clear evidences of stealing the madam's money)...if i be a child of God and it's God that wrote in His Holy book that a worker deserves his/her wages even before Sun set,..if that woman refuse to pay that girl her balance before Wednesday this week ..I curse that shop to run dry...the same humiliation she's puting that innocent and someone's daughter through in the police station ..her daughter must pass through same.. I give her between today and Wednesday to pay the girl her balance..else all these will happen to that woman..except I'm not the servant of the most high God.
Come and arrest me here in Abuja!

We need more of your type in this country and in the Church. Amen to your prayers. Amen.

OGA the law, i smiled when i read stories like this? even the politicians break even more laws than the the citizens, so leave that, so what is the punishment for refusal to pay someone's salary? oya educate us, because if the girl commit crime (i do not agree) so the woman commit more crime, so both should be thrown into cell.

but in nigeria, laws are made for the poor but the rich can buy their way out. (saraki is an example)

all the examples you gave are plainly because we have a retarded government, police force and even the judiciaries are not left out, i have watched a lot of law documentary which bothers on small offenses like the ones you displayed here, there is settling out of court, there is committee service, there are more than 1 approach to this petty crime so not everything is settled in throw inside prison like we do have here.

My good friend, except Nigeria is located on planet Mars, an 18 years old lady is not a kid. She is a full grown adult woman who is legally bound to her commitments and duties as well as entitled to her rights under the laws of the Federation of Nigeria.

She threatened bodily harm and endangerment of the complainant and the complainant's family. She put this on record by sending it as SMS. Now there's no ignorance before the law and she will have to face the law.

Many of us don't know how many times we break the law daily and how one's life can be so easily thrown away from such ignorance. Mere pointing a finger at someone and saying you will deal with the person can put you in Kirikiri for a year if that fellow knows the law and choose to follow through with an accusation. I know someone who spent months in kirikiri for slapping a neighbour at a borehole!

As for the bail bond amount of N50k, this is not about the N6,000 the accused is being owed by the complainant. It is the minimum bond to post bail for an accused under the charge.

that is where things worked, and sir please help me educate the useless idiots on this platform who are crying foul that she committed a crime for threating her boss over HER money. please educate them for me because i am very much pissed with them

blueseacats:
It is a crime but not in Nigeria, where there is no dignity in labor, I have taken my ex boss to court in New York before. When I saw the judges reaction to the case as if the guy is a murderer, I had to explain again that all I came here for is just my salary. And I got paid ASAP.

I was later told that the case could have gone further, if I claimed damages from not getting paid on time.

gbe enu re sun! you are the same caliber with the useless socialite!!!

winkmart:
An 18-year old former sales girl, Angela Uzordima has been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates court for allegedly sending threat text messages to her female boss and popular socialite, Folayo Adeola over N6000 salary debt.

According to PM Express, the teenager has since been remanded in prison custody after she failed to meet her bail condition. It was gathered that the embattled sales girl finished her secondary school and started working as a sale girl at Adeola’s boutique located at Duduyemi street, market bus stop in Egbeda.

It was learnt that they agreed on a monthly salary of N9,000 before Angela traveled to her village for a burial.
According to Angela, before she traveled, Adeola only gave her N3,000 out of her N9,000 salary remaining N6,000 only.
She said when she returned from the burial, Adeola had employed another worker while she asked her the balance of her salary but she refused to pay her.
P.M.EXPRESS gathered that following the refusal by Adeola to pay her, she wrote threat messages through her phones and gave the complainant her account number at Fidelity Bank Plc.

She warned the complainant that if she did not pay the money, Adeola’s family will face danger.

The complainant became afraid that Angela knew much about her family and she might plan something evil against the family.
According to Adeola, “when I received the text messages, I contacted my husband in Abuja who immediately contacted the police at Idimu Command.”

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the police tracked Uzordima through the bank and arrested her and took her to the station.

At the station, she admitted that she sent the text messages and explained that she worked for Adeola but she refused to pay her. However, the police insisted that she committed an offence and charged her before the court under the Criminal Code.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr A.O Ogbe granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety in like sum. She was remanded in prison custody pending when she will perfect her bail condition.

The matter was adjourned till July 2017.



http://www.blackberrybabes.com/2017/06/18-year-old-girl-remanded-in-prison.html

In this country, there is a chain of continuity of the organogram of wickedness. Adeola, you owed a poor girl N6,000 until she was pushed to the wall to threaten you. Instead of paying her her N6,000 so that the issue would end, you spent excess of N6,000 to get her arrested. Now, she has been jailed. Do you fear God at all? If your business turns upside down, you will start running from one church to another. Your husband is a big fool for contacting the police, instead of personally paying her. The bible made it clear that whoever denies a labourer his or her wage is a murderer. So, Adeola, you and your husbands are murderers. You people are not supposed to live.

axglide:


Can we help this girl? We know she acted wrongly, but she should be educated and given community service. Leaving her in jail to perfect a bail condition of N50,000 is evil and wicked.

Why na?

Do we have community service in Nigeria, reforms services, rehab, juvenile?

Now that sounds like fair justice, (and might I add) one that prevents further oppression.

As regards your bolded, true! But you are assuming that the society we live in is perfect and highly enlightened with all having knowledge about and obeying all the laws.
If a girl or boy for that matter, who hasn't been to school like you and I, doesn't listen to the radio nor watch television and the 'internet' as they know It is Facebook, and such a person is being owed by someone whom they had worked for in an economy that has been harsh of recent, only two line of actions are open to the person; leave everything to God or 'fight' back using their limited knowledge.
Don't forget to you, a threat is a crime because of your level of enlightenment but to the girl, a threat might be seen as a way to fight for her entitlement.

how can I get in touch with this girl, she need to be helped else she will lose hope in our system of governance and constitute social menace.

This Nigeria police are wicked, the poor don't have there right again. Am rite now in the court judging this case because of evil boss we have in Nigeria. The boss is owning the poor little girl,instend of she to pay her the money she arrest her because of her right.

Not fair.

MY first post on this thread would have been absent of my opening paragraph, but folks here forced my hands. Why, most of them would have done same just as the lady did.
They clearly have the minimum level of education and exposure to know better, but always we are who we are.

The law doesn't reckon ignorance, yet I will accommodate Ur inkling towards allowing a bit of it. The law asides, when did it become cool to ever threaten a person and his/her family. Especially because of your presumed lawful pay, I use the word presume carefully.

Nigeria is not perfect, Nigeria is not even good but it doesn't have to be this way. We can make it better by encouraging sanity, it begins with the little things. Respect for humanity, and it is both ways here; both Oga and salesgirl

And the system leaned towards the madams side

The Magistrate sef...
How person wan take pay 50k from 3k earned.

Injustices everywhere for Naija

The threat txt msg is wrong and a very serious issue despite the wrongs done by the woman. She underestimated the gravity of her action.

Sending someone threat txt msgs is a very serious offense. Some people think that their txt msg is just an ordinary msg.

What if somehow later she get cult people involved by even sleeping with them and giving them the woman's info? That could result to death.

People should learn to be careful when sending any form of threat txt msgs to anyone they have issues with. If the woman happens to get attacked by armed robbers of which she never knew, she will be arrested as the first suspect .

But won't dis make d young lady carry out d threat for real, a mean she might meet some harden criminals in jail who could just decide to help her deal with the madam for real this time
