No INNOCENT person should be “targeted” (in fact, nobody at all should)...
People don’t choose their families and should not pay for any misdeed (real or imagined) of others.

They came third in a four team tournament. Not bad for exposure tho

Except in the game against Japan, where they played cluelessly...
They performed quite well and frankly should not had lost to Romania. But that’s football.

Hmmmm

Eagles.
Small time now
You nor go hear of these boys again while their mate from other country go dey excel
Who go believe say Taye Taiwo, Mikel obi, Isaac Promise, Fernando Llorent, David Silva, Cesc Fàbregas, Roberto Jimenes, Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero were age mate and even played youth championship together

Are those 9 players the only ones at the tournament?
What happened to the over 200 other players? Were they all age cheats?!

Budline1:
A real friend not a bank bro. She can get it elsewhere, money has nothing to do with their friendship. He has every right to politely decline her request.

No argument there...
My only dispute with you is why you think she should not ask a purported friend for help?

Declining to date someone is not an insult, but some people may feel offended. I was talking in general terms.

I AGREE in general terms...

On the other hand, if someone feels “offended” because someone else declines to date them, it is a sad commentary on their state of mind.

Budline1:
There is no crime in politely saying 'No I don't have money at the moment'. Even when the table turns, he hasn't wronged her in any way. She'll survive without this guy abeg. She shouldn't even ask money from him in the first place.

Why not? If he’s forming like he’s a real friend, why not...
>

Elliot2:
Lol. Op said she never gave him any reasons for rejecting his advance. If that is not disrespect, then I don't know what will make for it. And again what ever reasons that made her reject him is justified and like wise him declining her request.

Merely reaffirming that misogynistic culture of entitlement...

She did not have to give a reason (just he doesn’t have to not to help her out)...
It’s enough for anyone (male or female) to simply decline to date someone else.

elgramz:
I think pastor ibiyeome actually did the country a favour when he took this woman out of circulation

No, he did not...
Rather he engaged in the ignorant abuse of power that keeps Nigeria perpetually underdeveloped.

There’s a remedy in CIVIL law for alleged defamation, and accordingly people (no matter how “powerful”) should never ABUSE the coercive power of the state or the criminal justice system to redress matters that the laws of the land have deemed as civil (not criminal) matters.

Not everything do you because of God. Not every help attracts blessings even when done with a plain heart. Ladies hardly remember a once enjoyed help from men even wives are not left out...

The motive for helping people should NEVER be so that they can remember you “helped” them...

Favor99:
Yes you should give her some money. It’s the godly and Christian thing to do. You should show love and generosity to your neighbor even when they’ve offended or insulted you.

It’s good to help those in need. Do onto others as you would like them to do unto you. If your in her situation, you would want someone to help you to.
Show her love and kindness and God will be very much pleased and bless you

I hope by “offended or insulted you” you are not referring to her declining to date him...
>

Elliot2:
hag hag hag yen yen yen. Cheap blackmails. It was okay for her to reject him without any respect for his person, but he is a loser to decline her request based on her past action.

Nigerian men and the usual misogynistic culture of entitlement...
So declining to date someone means “without any respect for his person”?

Anyway, read my post again - it’s his money and he is NOT obligated to help (no issues with that)...
Nonetheless, if the ONLY reason is because the person did not agree to date him, then he’s a REAL LOSER!

kinghopex:
I really need advice on this..

I asked this lady out back then in 2015 and she turned me down completely without any reasonable excuse...

Now she is in the university studying and today while we were chatting, she told me she is seriously broke that i should help her with money!!

If i were you will you help her

Sorry Bros, to be brutally honest and with all due respect...
If you have to ask this question, you are probably a BIG LOSER!

First, for the avoidance of any doubt, you do not have give or lend anyone your money. But if the ONLY (or even the primary) reason that you are reluctant to help out someone is because the person refused to date you in the past, then sorry you are a LOSER with a warped mentality.

baby124:
They don’t need her as a witness, plus they have evidence she withdrew under duress. This is the state vs the boys now. By the way if the court ask you to testify and you lie or refuse. You can be arrested and jailed.

Of course, they need her as a witness because the defendants have the constitutional RIGHT to confront witnesses against them, and the state cannot introduce her written statement (a witness account) without making her available for cross-examination. Since there were only three people in there, her evidence is absolutely CRUCIAL to proving that this was not just a sexual encounter but actually rape.

Of course, any witness can be subpoenaed and every witness swears an oath to be truthful subject to the penalty of perjury, but you CANNOT force a witness to render any one particular account of events. Accordingly, as I previously noted, she has made the state’s job and burden infinitely MORE DIFFICULT (but not necessarily impossible). I hope they nail the bastards, but it won’t be easy!
>

baby124:
For the case to be in court she would have made written statements to the police which would have been handed over to the public prosecutor.

But she has since subsequently sought to “withdraw” her complaint...
Accordingly, she will likely be at best a reluctant, and at worst a “hostile”, witness.

CodeTemplar:
You just typing epistles to confuse onlookers and not backing your words with fact to support. Mention one GENCO with nonexistent gas facility or stop playing smart.

Just after show us one of your mixed-race Chinese kids...

Can you also show us the Governors of Adada State or Ijebu State? Or the Inspector-General of the Armed Forces of Lagos State? For the zillion things time, GENCOs are NOT gas producers, so how can anyone show you what you have been repeatedly told does not exist. Sorry to say, either you are playing thick or you simply are.

The girl or her family were probably paid or threatened...

But as previously stated, her “withdrawal” will have NO legal effect, because it’s a criminal case. However, it might more be difficult to prosecute and secure a conviction when you her a non-cooperating witness/complainant who’s testimony is vital to proofing the allegations.

Triangles1:
I have three questions to ask as I didn't follow the news from beginning.

What took the girl to that hotel room except if they kidnap her.

What was the girl relationship with them.

How does she end up drinking the drink.

Are you trying to justify rape?

OriginalZombiE:
The wall is a dog whistle, yet ISIS recently took advantage of the border chaos and tried to smuggle their terrorist into the US

Are you smart at all?

I will not dignify the CHILDISH insult with a substantive response...
It is evidence of a lack of a meritorious argument or a poor upbringing.

Even believing the ISIS Mexican “story” (and ignoring it has only right-wing sources)...
ISIS has inspired many domestic terrorists in the US, without need to use the Mexican (or any border).

Nowenuse:
Mexico is not as bad as you think it is. It has seriously improved over the years, well, thanks to the help of the US. So many US industries are situated in Mexico due to availability of cheaper labour.
Currently, 95% of the immigrants from Latin America crossing into the US are not from Mexico, they are from Guatemala, El savador, Honduras, Venezuela, Colombia and co. They only use Mexico as a route.

Thanks to NAFTA...
Which Trump tried to revoke, and then was compelled by reality to renegotiate and rebrand.

OriginalZombiE:
Sigh*

I have read the reports, and I have told you that stopping drugs is only one of the functions of the wall.

But I also mentioned terrorism and you haven't said anything to counter that.

Since you claim to be an "independent thinker" riddle me this...

Why is it that 10 years ago, nearly all Democrats were calling for tighter immigration policies, the deportation of illegal immigrants and the building of border walls?

Why is it that all of a sudden when Trump calls for these same policies they all backtracked and reversed their former stance?

As EVERY US security agency (from the FBI onwards) have repeatedly reaffirmed, the greatest (and ever-growing) current terrorist threat in the US is DOMESTIC terrorism (principally, white supremacist groups). Building a useless vanity wall will NOT ameliorate that danger. BTW, none of the 9/11 terrorists, nor any terrorist attacker since then, came through the Mexican border. The Wall is merely a dog whistle!

ogbonti:
Tarrifs, ever heard of that?

You do understand how tariffs work, don’t you?

Tariffs are a TAX on the consumer, so it only makes consumer goods from Mexico more expensive as well as US goods produced with Mexican components (such as US automobiles). Even Republicans in Congress kicked against Mexican tariffs and were set to vote it down - before Trump backed down and began touting an agreement agreed to last year (2018) as a “new” deal.
>

fikiman7000:
I think both countries are funding the deal as part of migration deal they signed last week

11doubledee:
Who else?mexico through tax increament on goods made in mexico when they decided not to co-fund the project directly.

Even if Trump’s dumb Border Wall is to be built (and it likely would NEVER be), Mexico would NEVER pay directly or indirectly for it...
There’s NO Wall funding in the so-called “immigration deal” with Mexico, and higher tariffs on Mexican imports hurt US businesses/consumers.
>

NIGERIANS WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET...

Dotard Trump is NOT getting a Border Wall (not that I personally care)...
Not least because Congress will NOT fund it and Mexico will definitely NOT pay for it.

Even the funds The Dotard anticipated from his fake “emergency” declaration is tied up by litigation...
I am not sure where these obviously 4.1.9 pics came, but these are likely repairs to existing barriers (NOT a new Wall).

Wall ko, Balls ni!

CodeTemplar:
There is a big difference between showing me the GENCOs lacking gas facilities and showing me the nonexistent gas facilities. The former is what you implied and I asked you for.

Huh?! You now seem to be engaged in a desperate act of semantic sophistry...

For the umpteenth time, I cannot SHOW you things that are NON-EXISTENT. To simplify that for you, I cannot ask you to show me your mixed-race Indian children if you tell me you don’t have any. Conversely, if you brag that you do, there should be no rational problem showing them. Got it? GENCOs are NOT gas producers. They are electric power generators. Therefore, even Eledumare CANNOT show you the NON-EXISTENT “gas facilities” of GENCOs. How exactly can this basic concept of reality be apparently so difficult to grasp?

One of the reason, Dangote Cement switched to an energy mix of almost 50% coal-powered plant is the unavailability and unreliability of gas supplies. In fact, the Dangote Group has to build its own gas supply infrastructure (undersea pipelines, in this instance) for the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals/Fertilizer Complex project. As you may have guessed (but perhaps you still are clueless), this is an area that I can claim more than a fair degree of expertise. So, once again, please share SPECIFICALLY with us what “adequate structures” exist.
