Obviously its juju to renew his life....idiot...he shall die very soon.God punish him

Enough with the superstitions...
He's just a perverted Hot old pedophile.

SageMK:
No difference between the old man & whoever it was that snap those pictures exposing the nàkedness of those kids. They are all perverts.

I think that's rather harsh...

Obviously I was not there myself and thus do not know who snapped the pictures and/or why...
However, I do not believe it was done out for prurient reasons, but rather merely to create/preserve evidence. Ignorance not perversion.

pawesome:
thats the fact.. He didn't force them

Physical force is NOT required to commit rape...
Lack of consent (which, by law, minors cannot give) suffices.

daddyfreeman1:
The old useless man is using the kids to prolong his life... He's taking life from those kids... Don't be surprised this man could have died many years ago, but because he's having s*x with this kids that has life in them and many years to live prolongs his.... Useless old man... Please burn him alive

With all due respect, it is this sort of obtuse superstition that has led HIV-infected South African men to rape minors believing that sleeping with a virgin will prolong their lives or cure the disease. When will Africans crawl out of mental darkness and join the race to advance knowledge?

Tinalex:
Is that why the girls are still naked? They are the victims here and the pix made the man the boss...i trust those stupid old generation women to be beating those girls; calling them ashawo!!! They are minors who were being raped by the old goat!!! The Nigerian society is hypocritically bleeped up mehhnnn....

The old pervert was arrested and hauled off to jail...
After a neighbor raised alarm, so why are you making up stories in your head?!

Elvis778:
The word "RAPE" is now a favourite word to some people, especially girls............well, this is not rape. It's called CHILD ABUSE.
I think those kids should be sent to juvenile correction centre for thorough training, beating and correction and the man sent to jail for child abuse.
Cuz both the man and the kids are guilty for sexual abuse.

RAPE is defined as having carnal knowledge of someone without consent...
And since minors CANNOT give consent by law (which is why you CANNOT enforce a contract against a minor), this is RAPE.

stubbornman:
HOW IS THAT RAPE

Karemarealty288:
Its not rape ..he had their consent...hunger , poverty and android phone(porn) cos it...if its rape why parading the girls naked while baba is fully clothed with his mischievous pencil pionter mouth feeling like Tupac.....nonsense and ingredients.

Minors CANNOT give legal consent...
That's the same reason that you cannot enter into a contract with a minor.

jimi4us:
It baffles me people see Mr. Eazi and Burna boy as musicians.

emerged01:
Burna boy Na musician abeg.

Bros, there are posts folks should not be responding to...
You know, that saying about arguing with a kolo person at the market.

ChristianNorth:
The Vice President is a statutory member of the National Security Council. What is happening?

What is happening is that the NSC apparently now stands for "Northern Security Council"...
Unsure there's ever been a time Northerners so dominated the NSC, and yet ironically the North is the most insecure part of Nigeria!

Agugbadin:
Thank God you came out alive. Nigeria do not have standards, in developed countries every elevator has a scheduled recertification protocol and when it is done a tag is placed on it clearly showing that it passed the test and when next the recertification will be done. Functional phones should be in the lift and emergency botton which are direct line to emergency phone lines must be clearly displayed.

Elevators get stuck and break down all over world, regardless of regular certifications...

No machine is perfect, regardless of how many inspections or certifications, and elevators have many electrical and mechanical parts any one of which could fail at anytime (even something as simple as a blown fuse). Accordingly, because the greater danger is an elevator falling down its shaft, elevators are basically designed to lock in place as a “fail safe” in case of any problem or failure (even the most minor ones).

Meanwhile, a crane recently collapsed and killed four persons in Seattle not too long after inspection/recertification.
.

I guess “Pele” is in order...
But why would an asthmatic not carry her inhaler with her?

Meanwhile, it’s not a Nigeria thing...
Because elevators get stuck everyday all over the world.

CandidNotes:
Bro, not in a life and death situation such as this. This is inexcusable.

My personal experience (of which is relatively vast) is that most Nigerian doctors would treat a critical care patient even if there is no deposit made. A prominent example is the female youth corper shut dead by a cop in Abuja in July of last year (2018). The initial story was that she was initially denied treatment at Garki General Hospital for lack of a deposit, but when the CCTV tapes were released it clearly showed medical personnel leaping immediately into action to try to save her life. Another example was the manager in Ikeja who was shot and killed by armed robbers in front of his family last year. The initial story was that the private hospital declined treatment because of a deposit and advised the family to take him to a government hospital instead, but ultimately what emerged was that the private hospital advised the family that given the nature of his injuries (which they nonetheless administered basic treatment) his best hope was the Critical Care Unit at LASU.

ElPhoche:
inasmuch as harsh as it sounds, majority of people don't pay at all or don't make their full payment after being treated on compassionate grounds. The hospital could run down if care is not taken because she needs those funds to cater to her personnel and stock up. A pity we don't have a good health insurance for such cases. I have been at the receiving end of it and it is usually my nurses who have their salaries slashed when those people abscond. By law you can't even keep patients in the hospital to pay before they go because you would be guilty of hostage-taking. So, some hospitals prefer to be safe than sorry

Obviously not personally privy to the actual facts of this case...
But often these stories about hospitals rejecting a critical care patient because of initial deposit turn out to be substantively inaccurate.

Maket:
Niger Delta Dev. Commission for SSDC
North East Dev. Commission is NEDC

We also need NCDC, SWDC, SEDC and NWDC.

Most important commission we needed in this country is NDC (Nigeria Dev. commission).

South-South? Aren’t Imo, Abia and Ondo states members of the NDDC?

plaindealer:
Only foolish people limit knowledge acquisition to their local surrounding. Nigerian schools and institutions like the Lagos Business School actually groomed Sanwo Olu, he's also an Alumnus of the same Harvard.

Managing the 5th largest economy in Africa goes beyond just Lagos, you still need the kind of global skills, knowledge and thought process they offer at Harvard. Governments all over the world send their leaders to the same Harvard for a reason even though they have similar institutions in their own countries. Felipe Calderón former Mexican President went, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Ban Ki-moon and others did also.

We sometimes misplace our sense of patriotism when in fact we should be glad when the people we elect to manage our affairs seek credible knowledge just to serve us better.

While I personally think that NO education is wasted, and that education (as well as other forms of self-improvement) is a life-long undertaking, it is nonetheless necessary to point out that those persons you cited in the highlighted part above were most definitely NOT “sent” by their governments to Harvard, and neither did they prepare for political or governmental leadership with a one-week executive course. Instead, these are people actually privately regular degree programs at Harvard as regular private students and graduated with regular degrees (just as the likes of El-Rufai, Frank Nweke and the late Joseph Garba did).

Frankly, instead of attending these short programs that are essentially cash cows for prestigious university (because they charge a ton for what amounts to little more than name-dropping association), if the intention to develop capacity to run the state government on international best-practices standards (which would be a great aspiration), then it would have been best to arrange for some Kennedy School professors to come to Lagos and run a retreat for the state’s top policymakers and political officeholders (similar to what HBS does for businesses and corporations). After all, Mr. Sanwo-Olu will not be running the state government all by himself.

Gerrard59:
Mbok, when did the bold happen?

“Comrade” Agbero Oshiomhole studied economics and industrial relations at Ruskin College, Oxford (should’ve clarified the Ruskin’s part)...
Not to be confused with Oxford University, though it has an affiliate relationship that allows Ruskin students to take Oxford University classes.

Kennydoc:
The answer is in the strength of the economy.
Even 100 rural fishing families in Nigeria cannot jointly afford a trawler. Those guys are merely surviving. They are very poor.

And they will remain poor if they keep doing what they are doing...
Even if they cannot afford a commercial trawler, they can afford better fishing vessels and equipment.

Reference:
I hope you Lekki, VI and Ikoyi people are watching. This is your destiny. Begin to come to terms with global warming and ocean level rise.

Bad belle. Don't worry about us, we will take our chances...

Kennydoc:
Is it not the same way we tell Fulani herdsmen to adopt modern systems of animal husbandry? The world has moved beyond those primitive ways of farming and fishing.
Perhaps if there were adequate jobs for Nigerians, many of them won't be fishing anymore. The blame still goes to the government anyway.

Abegi, let's quit blaming government for everything...

This requires little more than all of those fishing families coming together and forming a cooperative, and then either pooling their funds (or even getting a loan as a cooperative) to rent (not even buy, though that would be better) a trawler, fish more efficiently and effectively, and even process some of the catch themselves. There are fishing communities all across the globe doing this, why is our own always different?

Destinedfor1:
We humans has indeed created an imbalance in this earth when we started drilling dangerous liquid and gasses that the earth has already locked away deep into the ground.. Mother nature will surely win and balance things out which might include wiping out human scums!

Before humans walked the earth, the physiology of the earth was in relatively constant flux...
We may have hastened some things and changed others, but ultimately the earth will constantly evolve.

sexybaby22:
You can't compare these people with whites who have more mechanised fish faming tools. These people have to go to sea at dawn like 4 am, do you expect them to live far off from the sea.

Well, that problem have been solved with the sea coming to them instead...

While we can have empathy for these folks, one of the primary reasons Africans continue to be mired in poverty and backwardness is the reluctance (perhaps inability, but I most certainly hope that's not case) to change and/or adopt to change. You simply cannot continue to live as your great grandfathers/forefathers did in the Dark Ages and expect to make progress or keep up with an increasingly rapidly-changing world.

Esseite:
How do you blame Chevron for your plight on the sea encroaching on your land.

Wait... Chevron sent the sea to encroach on your land?

It's Nigeria...
Always looking for someone to extort.

So-called leaders of tomorrow...

Kenmatt:
I have to summarize all you have written in few sentences.

Don't you know that your people have the absolute power to recall politicians who are not performing?

The beautiful thing about the two phases in our democratical setting is that any one who did not work up to expection will be given a red card not to get close to the government house for the second term.

Many a time, your people prefer to sell their "birth right" for a peanut.

That some governors and some other politicians are not performing does not mean that all is not performing.

A state like Bayelsa, inspite of all the resources and mega chunk they get from the centre, yet, development is absimally low, Enugu state may not be getting much from the central government but you can attest to the fact that they are not only growing but developing.

What are you going on about?
Was Gov Nnamani "recalled" when he was robbing the same Enugu State blind?

The saying that a people often deserve the leadership that they get is hardly ever more fitting than for Nigeria and Nigerians. Why should Bayelsa be waiting to "get" anything from the so-called centre from resources taken from it's own backyard (when it really should be the other way around)? And why should Enugu be even getting anything at all from the so-called central government, when likely the bulk of that "get" is from destroying the environment and local economy (primarily based on agriculture, including fisheries and farming) of Bayelsans?

Anyway, Nigeria will remain a Third World Toilet and Nigerians will continue to suffer the Dark Ages leadership that they truly deserve so long as the sort of "your people, our people" primordial mentality of folks like you persist. Here I was proffering economic and policy arguments against the creation of more economically non-viable and effectively-bankrupt "states" in Nigeria that merely serve as clearing houses to share money (and whose weakness/non-viability ironically serve to strengthen the so-called centre), only to be met with crude ethnicity drivel.

GboyegaD:
This is not so true. Nothing is said about her age. She is a member of class of 2017.
On another note, she has done so well for herself and I wish her many more success ahead.

You are probably correct that she is NOT 17 years old...
It merely says on university's website "Susan Ojukwu '17" (meaning Class of 2017), but Nigerian press misunderstood.
>

danduj:
17yrs old and university graduate are two things thqt don't relate in Nigeria

pepenini88:
17 yrs and a graduate, most of her mate are either in secondary school or still writing jamb here in Nigeria. naija which way 17 yrs and a graduate, most of her mate are either in secondary school or still writing jamb here in Nigeria. naija which way

Same thing in America (and frankly most of the world)...
Most American 17-year-olds are still high school juniors/seniors (and it seems girl was NOT a 17-year-old grad either).

Ramadan Kareem my sister...

Just don't wear that to Saudi Arabia or else!

.
Well, your president is failing the test...

Vulcanheph:
Can't you see how chubby and good looking he is after divorcing TOnTO DICKeh....

Nickijoy:
He gained weight for the matter!!

So there are still Nigerians in 2019 who think being fat is a good thing...

Kenmatt:
It is in state creation that the development will touch the grassroot in reality.

Nigeria has gone from 3 to 4 regions, to 12, 19, 21 and 36 states..
Yet, the only thing "touching the grassroots" has been increased POVERTY!

These states that cannot pay common basic salaries (even N30K minimum wage, that is less than a day's food and drinks bill at Govt House, is too much for them to handle), are owing teachers and pensioners forever, and most of which only survive by rushing to Abuja every month to share money mostly derived from the exploitation and despoiling of Niger Delta (and VAT), while the Governors and their so-called First Ladies fly around in first-class or private jets, drive bullet-proof cars (some costing more than the entire monthly wage bill of the teachers in their states), and basically have an unlimited expense account (as well as the slush fund called the Security Vote).

Bros, the creation of more states does absolutely NOTHING of significant (if any) benefit to the ordinary masses, but merely benefit the elite and politically-connected rent-seekers. It creates more governors, commissioners, chief judges, special advisers, special assistants, senators, representatives, assembly members, ministers, board members and all other manner of political appointees. By the time money is expended on Government House, Abuja Liaison Office/Governor's Lodge, official cars, commissioners' housing and other official quarters, new government secretariat, government cars' fuel budget, estacode, car and transport allowances, etc., there's NO money for actual development.

Chicagoesontop:
At least this is a good step, unlike so many leaders we have in this our shit hole country ! nice one your excellency .

blowjohn:
U can see how the whites hold education in high esteem. They are constantly searching for new ideas and learning new solutions.
Here our major solutions and ideas center on roads, flyovers, transportation parks and buses.

Nigerians are among the most "educated" group in the world (at least schooled people, because real education is different). Even El-Rufai has two degrees from the same Harvard Kennedy School (including a Masters in Public Admin) but yet keeps rolling around in primordial gutters.

Adams Oshiomole went to Oxford, and yet he is behaving like an Agbero trying to subvert the constitution, and found time just before he exited the Edo Governor's Mansion to extract a N200m million private house and pension-for-life, while teachers and pensioners went unpaid.

All knowledge is good...
But a week-long course at Harvard is more to burnish your CV than to help you govern Lagos.
