Going deep into the story, one sees it may be a set up.

Without trial and conviction, EFCC quickly names the Igbo operative on the pages of newspapers.
The legislator and senior EFCC operative involved were not named.

I can bet that this is a set-up job.
The legislator and senior EFCC operative collaborated to humiliate the Igbo EFCC operative.


There's nothing tribalism can't do in Nigeria of today.

That is the standard procedure of efcc. In January 2016, an operative - Abdulraham Mohammed Biu was also arrested for collecting $150,0000 from some military officers under investigation, the operative was named but the bribe givers were not.

In the current case, Uzodinma that collected bribe from the legislator is not even in charge of the case. He only wanted to serve as intermediary at best or to just play a fast one. It serves no purpose disclosing the name of the detective in charge since he was apparently not in the know of the bribe.

Efcc don't and cannot just publicly disclose the names of its detectives anyhow. It is on need to know basis

Nairalanders,look at those women closely. You might recognise your mum when she was a side chick to atiku.


My point is: these are now people's wives and mothers who may not wish that this photo gets out

The one on his right is his first wife - Titilayo (née Albert)

This was how Ajaokuta was up to around 1993 when Russian TPE held sway. Wide roads, good neighborhoods, standard schools, well maintained green areas, etc. Infact it was selling surplus electricity to NEPA from its thermal plant then.

After the Russians left, all the infrastructure collapsed. The so-called Nigerian engineers that filled the maintenance department could not even run the power plant. Nigeria is not ripe for independence.

The Rep said there is nothing like budget padding. But Jibrin was sacked from his chairmanship position because he was alleged to have padded the budget in favour of his state- Kano before he turned the table on the speaker and principal officers.

emmasege:
Let the change begin with APC-led Executive and APC-led Legislature, and then the dullard.inho can expect that the change will begin with me.

By the way, It's not only budget padding that was discovered during their recess, our president's speech was also padded with Obama's words. Bubu should be asked to apologize to us as well, or we even suspend him like NASS may contemplate for Dogara/Jubrin. If Professors and academics lose their jobs because of plagiarism, our president deserves his own share of punishment for intellectual theft. In a sane country where legislators know why they are in the hallowed chambers, they would be demanding an explanation/apology to the nation from their president, immediately they resumed from recess.

If Bubu will not be sanctioned on account of his plagiarism, then all Nigerian academics who have been sacked on account of plagiarism should be recalled, and none should be sanctioned any longer.

If Intellectual theft is not stealing or corruption and Bubu does not deem it fit to do the needful, then he has no moral ground to tell me that 'change begins with me'.

What is the legal punishment for plagiarism? Plagiarism is an ethical offence not legal offence. It is not the same as copyright

stankezzy:
All these talks are lies, some years back, I was attacked by armed robbers , they approached me and demanded for my car key but because I thought they were not armed , I neglected them and one of them became angry put his hand inside and pulled a pistol, immediately he pointed it to my leg I jumped, he shot it but my jumping and grace of God allowed me to dodge the bullet , it just scratched my trousers and hit the wall. so dodging of bullet is possible

Might be the guy didn't aim properly. In that case, it was the bullet that marginally missed you not that you dodged it.

Emycord:
As what first class citizen or what this guy should even pay higher na ur ancestors get africa abi? You thinks its nigera where you have monopoly

So American and British ordinary citizens that do not need visa to most countries including the African countries he mentioned own those countries?

A little application of common sense before hitting the keyboard can help a lot

seunmsg:
This man is the most stupid professor I have ever seen in my entire life. He is not different from the wailing crew on NL who goes about writing unreasonable stuffs without good reference/source once it is against the president.

He admitted that vanguard is not a credible source but still went ahead to write about a phantom $6million treatment bill with the same discredited vanguard as the source. And now, instead of giving a straight apology, he's still grandstanding and blaming the president for not denying the news in time. His motive becomes more curious when you realise that this is coming just a few days after the national outrage about patience Jonathan's $15million medical bill account. We really need to upgrade our libel laws. People should be made to face more stiffer sanctions when they write absolute falsehood to deliberately hurt other people.

He didn't admit that vanguard is not a credible source. He said it is not always a credible source which means it can get it right sometimes.

When a highly visited site carried a damaging news since 4 months ago and the dimwits in the presidency did not deny it, why shouldn't the professor assumed it was an undeniable fact.

Why did presidency ignore the Vanguard which is by far more popular than the prof's Facebook page only to now bounce on the professor? How many people even saw the denial of the presidency if not for nairaland?

Why the unnecessary emphasis on the room rates by the writer? Those room tariffs are cheap for a hotel that the writer rated as 5 star. Suites are never for all-comers

I thought some pseudo-americanos were all over the other thread that the greedy lawyer would win the case easily against Nigeria because the case was being heard in USA.

If your knowledge is inadequate, don't further subdivide it.

Does this man know the meaning of 'betrayer'?

Moremi was an Ife born princess who was used to spy and learn the war secret of the enemy by her Ife people. She volunteered to risk her life and put herself in position to be captured by the enemies banking on her beauty to save her from being killed at sight. The enemies fell for the plot, captured her and gave her to their king as spoil of war. The king was foolish enough to reveal his people's war secrets to a captured spy because of pussy.

It is like Russians accusing an American born CIA agent of betrayal or USA accusing a Russia born KGB agent of betrayal because he spied on them.

He needs to go and learn what is called Secret Agent before spewing rubbish.

Alexbond:
The governor's office built by immediate past administration of Dr Fayemi with over 2billion naira don tire Fayose... This is another misplace of priority jus like many other projects, Mr Osoko.

Agbaletu:
Who did we offend in Ekiti State to have cursed our land?
Fayose, Ekiti does not need another governor's office. I know you decided not to use the one built by Fayemi but this is a waste of our meagre resources.

The one built by Fayemi is Governor's Lodge. He now wants to build a Governor's Office.

He initially discredited the Fayemi's Lodge but he later packed in after all the bragadoo.

wheredemdey:
Myopic Nigerian

You are comparing a GM or ED that the bank have invested alot... Do you know the amount of investment a company invests in a GM?.... Trainings abroad... Vast knowledge of banks products.... Networking contacts etc... And you dare compare them to a mere hnd/ond holder....you invest millions on an individual and sack him and?? You are not a serious person walahi

Moreover how many GM are in a bank set?... Max of 11...those guys have paid their dues

Those 'mere hnd/ond holders' don't wreck banks; GMs and EDs do.

If the bank have invested a lot on them, why can't they reciprocate instead of making wrong judgement, taking uncalculated risk and practicing bad corporate governance and credits origination and administration that put the bank in dire strait. Those are the ones the Board should fire first not the rank and file.

Retaining those top management while retrenching minions means the situation will not be remedied and the cycle continues e.g. Unity Bank.

Emeka99:
which one is conventional and non-conventional universities?

Non-conventional universities are specialized institutions like university of technology, university of agriculture and university of science.
Conventional are general purpose ones e.g. Unilag, oau, ui, abu, etc

Amah70:
You refere to sharia civil laws and courts which are allowed by the constitution.

Sharia criminal laws are not allowed in the constitution.

This Sharia court trying Babangida marriage is constitutionally recognized.

Sharia civil laws and courts are like customary laws and customary courts in most of Christian south of Nigeria.

Sharia criminal laws include stoning women to death for adultery, cutting off the hands of petty thieves, punishment of death for blasphemy - the type your lot had in mind when you killed two southern women in Kaduna and Abuja recently.

Stop convincing ignoramuses; Nigeria's constiution does not allow sharia criminal laws to be adopted or practiced by any section of the country.

The far north states that adopted sharia criminal laws practically severed themselves from Nigeria but still attach to Nigeria for economic reasons.

Your initial statement that I quoted and responded to did not differentiate between civil and sharia courts. Your initial post was:

Sharia Court is illegal acording to the Nigerian constitution! There is no other law but the Constitution.

They and the court officials should be arrested and tried for treason!

grodt999:
Sharia Court is illegal acording to the Nigerian constitution! There is no other law but the Constitution.

Really? You need to read the constitution again
Sections 260 - 264, 275 - 279 of the constitution will be helpful to you

greatjoey:
Before jumping into conclusion , you need to dig deep. There is no smoke without fire. Idoma has a unique tradition. Mourning of a late husband is a serious issue. Why would a husband die and the wife leaves the burial in such a hurry? She is expected to spend a reasonable time at home to mourn her husband. But here she is at Abuja. According to Idoma tradition, she would be accused of having a hand in her husband's death if she left without a permission from her in-laws hence the possible reason to evict her.

That should apply to jobless or self-employed widow. Those traditions were put in place when everybody reside in the village doing farming not for these days of city life.

If the wife is working as an employee and had already enjoyed her annual leave, how many days of compassionate leave can she be granted by her employer?

Can't she continue the mourning in her place of residence?

OP, what is "Sent-Forth"?

JayJustus:
aye aye Nairaland!!!!!! sooooooo lemme start my story from here.

...

soooooo the next day which was wednesday I vexed, by faith booked flight to singapore...lol...booked my hotel...and then after class dashed off to the visa centre dropped off my stuff...applied very late so my application only went in on thursday...by monday my e-visa was out. Singapore is visa free to over 80% of the world but in 2010 it was closed for nigerians cos of erhhh..but glad we're in assessment level 1... the ones in assessment level 2 like bangladesh, egypt, morocco, algeria, pakistan and all...so these ones have to get a visa sticker but level one is by e-visa... just a paper like that...so thats how I did and I am typing to you from the hostel I booked...but funny thing is that when I got to the immigration the woman on duty asked me how old I am since i look very small and my voice is too woman-ish...i'm like 20 and all...she's like you're traveling all alone, i'm like yeah.. in my mind i was like "thank God for S'pore i would have lost almost 30% for that subject..." ...

@ bolded. Nigeria has been downgraded to Assessment Level 2

FCT has 4 months to spend 1 year budget

Bigante:
Whether he was Under pressure from Lagos landowners association or he just wants to tactically do eye service (line his pocket with cheap and dirty egunge from foundation laying fees is out of the question) the fact remains that Gov. Ambode really messed up an opportunity, came up short of ideas and exhibited poor judgement. This is a classical case of arresting a notorious thief and then setting a dangerous robber free. Gov Ambode pls make up your civilised mind are you for the masses or for those that are already rich. If in doubt pls check international best practices around the world as regards the sale of land.

I thought the law was passed by the lagos state house of assembly and there must have been public hearings held on it by the house. Why blame Ambode alone?

We always argue that the legislature represents the people more than the executive.

nedu2000:
Lagos generates internally generated revenue blah blah..but 99% of it is from tax/fines,what percentage is from services rendered or exports? Lazy govt
IGR doesn't include crude oil gains

If 99% of Lagos IGR is from taxes, then they are doing the right thing. It is not the duty of proper government to engage in exports. Citizens produce, export and pay taxes on proceeds/profits to government.

seedsower:
Am i the only one getting this message?

Swallow cocaine and travel via ilorin airport, you are safe.

You cannot ordinarily travel out of Nigeria through Ilorin airport except during the hajj and only to Saudi Arabia and may be special flight by private jet (subject to prior clearance)

Same applies to the 'international' airports in Sokoto, Katsina, Yola, Maiduguri. They are international for pilgrimage purpose only

Gbajamila has dumped Jibrin



Jibrin will carry his cross alone

Was Jibrin ever loyal to Gbajabiamila? He aspired for speakership position with Gbaja and later dropped his ambition purportedly for Gbaja only to cross over to Dogara side on the eve of the election in June.

If anything, Gbaja sees him as a betrayer.

No 14 on the list caught my attention. Federal money to renovate mosques in some villages in Bauchi state!?!?

There is a big difference between diplomatic passport and diplomatic immunity

Diplomatic passports are classically given to diplomats and consuls when they are posted overseas, and they may be issued to other people within the government as well, depending on the circumstances. Carrying a diplomatic passport does not entitle someone to diplomatic immunity.

A person is only entitled to diplomatic immunity under Vienna Convention if he is a properly accredited consul or diplomatic to that host country. Even then, diplomatic immunity does not prevent arrest in cases of serious crime as defined by the host country or UN. The former IMF Managing Director had both diplomatic passport and diplomatic immunity but he was arrested, charged and detained by the US authorities for sexual crime.

kossyprincess:
Hi I'm a full reader of this forum, I must say you guys are trying very well. the way u answer all question left and right lol. I'm impressed, my questions goes like this I want to apply for UK Tourist visa for 6months.and I have finished filling my form what remains for me is the hotel email address and also where the ask TYPE OF WORK UNDERTAKEN? Im self employed also I have a boutique,but I filled in Boutique -Women clothing in that question line. just asking if is the right answer to it.

also I have booked my hotel using booking.com website and I also input my fiance debit card details and the email him that the booking was successful I choose paying on arrival, the date I choose to be in UK is 11sept. hope the won't cancel my booking becos I have not use them before in anything booking.thanks waiting for reply from this lovely forum lol

The first part of your question relates to how to fill the form as a self-employed/business owner. Many previous posts have addressed this issue. Just go through a few previous pages.

On hotel issue, booking.com like agoda.com is good and reputable. The only issue here is that you have made the reservation with someone else's bank card even though not yet charged. Is the person traveling with you? If not, did he indicate that he was booking on behalf of someone else as required on booking.com? This is necessary because at the time of check-in, some hotels usually require presentation of the card you used to book if it had not been indicated that the booking was made on behalf rather than the guest himself to prove that you have not booked with a stolen card

If he had not indicated that the booking was made 'on behalf' as booking.com requires in such case, there is a risk that the internal review process of booking.com may subsequently throw up query of 'no nexus' between the traveler and cardholder's names though this is remote since you said they already sent a confirmation letter. You can also contact the hotel directly to confirm that they have your reservation

@OP

The result is for 2015/2016 session but the first person on the list has 2007 registration year and still failed

How many years is he/she going to take to graduate in mech eng

justwise:
I really don't see what's difficult with those questions...have you worked for any of those organisation? Yes or No.

He wanted to know where to classify his NYSC experience in the light of option 2 in the question. Does participating in nysc scheme mean one has worked for government? If so, all nigerian graduates (except those exempted) must fill that they have worked for government even if they served in private sector.

Dclique:
Why must it be RED?

Because the one in the picture is a diplomatic passport which must be red in colour.

The one for ordinary citizens will be another colour.

angels09:
72 hours in control. With a populist agenda. Datsall

72 hours? Any coup that does not succeed within the first 6 hours is called mutiny.

If you execute a coup in the night and by daybreak, you are not yet sure of its success, bail out of the country or . . .
