Ignore them Sis...

Let them keep drinking that cancer-causing Haterade.

Okoroawusa:
This court ruling has nothinig to do with Omo-agege

Exactly! The practical effect of nullifying Omo-Agege’s candidacy and subsequent election is merely COLLATERAL DAMAGE!

Mynd44:
If we even remove the issue of the APC constitution, a judgment was made last year recognizing his faction. That judgment can only be vacated by a superior court and not one of equal powers.

But the Abuja order was NOT vacated by the Asaba court...

This is a DIFFERENT case with DIFFERENT parties, and the IRONY is that Omo-Agege is relying on the same argument that the parties made in the Asaba case - that they were not parties/litigants in the other (Abuja, in that instant) case.

senatordave1:
You are confusing yourself inorder to indict omo agege who you clearly dislike.the asaba court clearly ruled that the faction of ogodo is the rightful one and that all the actions and candidates from its primaries is the rightful one thereby nullifying the candidacy of ogboru,agege.but unfortunately,an abuja court last year already validated the factory of erue which age belongs.only an appeal court can overrule this

Bros, you are the confused (in order to validate Omo-Agege who you apparently worship)...

Both cases involve DIFFERENT parties, and thus not in conflict. The only “conflict” is the effect of each ruling on Omo-Agege, and thus he should head to the law courts to assert his rights - rather than making pompous self-serving pronouncements on the pages of newspapers.

BTW, according to INEC, where there are actually conflicting orders from courts of concurrent jurisdiction, the latter order is obeyed by the commission. Accordingly, if Omo-Agege has competent counsel, he should be headed to the law courts. Thugs won’t be able to swear him in.

What’s even more DISGRACEFUL than this despicable news...
Is that some NIGERIANS here on Nairaland apparently see nothing wrong with it. Children of a Lesser God. SMH

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE...

I know that some places in Lagos try to limit access by unaccompanied females (in an IMHO misguided attempt to prevent Oloshos in desperate search of “white” men from harassing their clientele), but even that is patently WRONG! All persons should be able to freely access any and all PUBLIC establishments - and only if/when a person specifically commits any inappropriate act can they be rightfully excluded.

senatordave1:
No need for all this grammar.did a court recognize his faction last year or not ? Secondly,can an equal course nullify that recognition ?

The Asaba court did not need to “nullify” the judgment of the Abuja court, because both rulings are actually NOT in conflict - as they each involve different parties and litigants (even if the result of both affect Omo-Agege). That’s why the courts remain the appropriate forum for ascertaining individual rights. While some folks seem not to fully grasp that basic concept, one would expect a LAW-maker to do so. SMH

LordAdam16:
Perhaps you missed the preceding sentence.

As for your second paragraph, there's more than meets the eye beside the two points you itemized.

-Lord

No, I did not...
I agreed with what I specifically highlighted there as a general proposition (unrelated to the facts of this particular case).

senatordave1:
Is he correct or not ?

NO! First, he does not have to be served/joined in a case against INEC (and/or APC)...

Nonetheless, he is NOT qualified to make such pronouncements (and of course neither am I - nor you). The law courts remain the appropriate forum for the arbitration of such legal disputes. A lawmaker should at the very least grasp the very basic concept of the RULE OF LAW! SMH

NEVER heard of her - until this “nude” caper...

She has therefore apparently achieved her aim of publicity whoring.

ZOO!

This is the result when you are allowed to invade the Senate chamber with thugs, carry away the mace of authority and get away scot-free. You start to believe that you are above the law and arrogate to yourself the authority to decide which law courts have valid “jurisdiction”! SMH

Daeylar:
Unfortunately she isn't underage in France. Age of consent is 15.

I don't even think there is any age of consent presently

But 2 years for rape is just pathetic.

Plus legal age of consent in DRC is 14 years old...
I don’t think the court was convinced the sex was coerced and thus it settled on a compromise.

LordAdam16:
I'm a big fan of the Norwegian penal code stipulating the max sentence to be 21 years, with the option of adding 5-year increments at the terms end if the person is not rehabilitated enough to be given freedom.

2 years may not be commensurate with the crime, but no crime necessitates capital punishment. Only malicious murder remotely does, but that's arguable and a long shot.

-Lord

Agree (even if I would struggle with that conviction under certain peculiar factual situations).

However, this is a 2-year SUSPENDED sentence, which would be patently absurd - except for the mitigating circumstances in my post above.

The apparent absurd leniency of the sentence makes little sense, except...

Seeing that (1) the assault and kidnapping charges were dismissed (it’s reasonably certain that the defense lawyer argued that these accusations were merely a ploy for the dancers to stay in France, and such dismissals indicate the court gave some credence to that defense), (2) THE LEGAL AGE OF CONSENT FOR FEMALES IN DRC IS 14 YEARS OLD, and (3) the court likely reached the conclusion that the sex was not coerced (as indicated by the dismissals in respect of the 3 other non-minor dancers), the case effectively became a technical case of statutory rape to the extent that some sex allegedly occurred in France (not DRC, where it would be legal). Otherwise, the sentence is absurd!

Yigiyaga:
Its the celebrity factor..court assumes the girls threw themselves at him also. But nonetheless he must have self control.

So what even they did?

But that should not even be a consideration in this case where he brought her from DRC as one of his ‘dancers’.

HonAdeli:
2years jail term is small for raping an underage girl

It’s even SUSPENDED, which means that he will only serve time if he commits another crime within the probationary period...SMH

Joromi12:
When we say jungle justice shud be served some go wail. Eda sun wey rey

HECK NO!

Do you even know the circumstances under which the woman died? Was she in another car? Was she on an Okada or on foot? If she was in another car or Okada, was her own driver licensed, drunk or otherwise at fault? You are already ready to serve so-called “jungle justice” without knowing what happened (and I personally do not know the details either since the husband did not share).

My views may not be popular in an emotionally-charged thread on an often rabble-rousing online forum, but we should be focusing our energies on the necessary hard work of fixing our institutions (including the justice system), rather than continuing to be a veritable ZOO where folks precipitously serve so-called “jungle justice” (in this instancd based on an understandably emotional one side of the story), even before asserting/verifying all of the facts. Unfortunately, it is this perchance to avoid doing the necessaries and rather cutting corners that leads folks to drive without bothering to get licensed and policemen to take bribes instead of doing the requisite leg work. It’s all CONNECTED!

Meanwhile, RIP SWEET ANGEL! Hopefully, justice will be served one way or another.

obontami:
Didn't Ycee fvcked this girl then passed her to falz and then AG? Bittch shut your stupid dump ass up and listen when a wise man is talking. I know you mad cos your body count is on the high side, I pity AG if only he knows what he got himself into.

Why would she be mad isn’t she married (and relatively rich to boot)...
Just concentrate on trying to convince yourself that your wife will be/was a virgin. SMH

MiddleDimension:
and for you, because one is hornyy is a good reason to get married?

if you were a woman and a guy wants to marry you only because he wants to have unlimited access, you would agree to his proposal?

One has come to realize that many Nigerian men share that backward view of marriage...smh

femi4:
The Pastor is right. Imagine if the likes of Flavour, Davido didn't have access to free sex, won't they be thinking about marriage by now.

Though, many men will go into marriage for the wrong reasons

Only if they are going into marriage for sex.

Sadly, one finds the views of most Nigerian men on matrimony (including this pastor’s) to be patronizing, archaic and narrow-minded. SMH

olioxx:
You have said it all.
I need to leave Nigeria. We lack vision in this country.
That $12b he spent is enough to build a 7500MW - 8500MW of hydropower plant that can power a large area of Lagos and in turn will yield good revenue, since the world is going "electric". 40% of cars in Norway are electric cars.

Please! Nigerians do not want to pay market prices (cost-reflective tariffs) for the 4000MW currently being distributed (which is why a reported 2000MW generating capacity remained “stranded”).

chemgee:
My guy I used to share this same view with you, until dangote kinda "brunt" his fingers in the tomatoes paste factory and his Noddle's adventure. Maybe he can't just compete except the government his on his side

Dangote sold his noodles business to Indomie at a tidy profit!

Meanwhile, can you please show us any Nigerian local tomato paste plant that has been long-term profitable? The Nigerian paste production sector will NEVER be viable so long as cheap imports from China are dumped into the market. That’s pretty much the same circumstance that destroyed Nigeria’s textile industry that had several hundred producers and employed about ONE MILLION NIGERIANS directly and indirectly.

erico2k2:
This is very true, One day we might just wake up to realise successive government always aid this guy. In a level playing field, there would be loads of competitors in importing of bulk cement, sugar and other everyday commodities.

Nigeria should NOT be importing bulk cement, PERIOD!

Thankfully, thanks to the likes of Dangote Cement, BUA and even foreign companies like LaFarge, Nigeria has moved from reportedly the world’s second-largest importer of cement (reportedly behind only the US), with a virtual amarda of cement-ladened ships clogging the seas of the Lagos ports and collecting millions of dollars in demurrage to an exporter of cement.

Nonetheless, there is adequate competition in Nigeria in cement, where the biggest global multinational producers (Blue Circle, LaFarge, Holcim, Scancem, Heidelberg, etc.) have been anchored in the Nigerian market since the 1950s/60s, well before Dangote ignited his first kiln, as well as local producers such as BUA Group and (now he has sort out his issues with Ebonyi State) Ibeto Group.

In Sugar, there are very strong deep-pocketed domestic competitors in Nigeria, such the BUA Group that has some of the most modern plants in Africa, as well as Flour Mills of Nigeria’s Golden Penny Sugar subsidiary. There is no area that Dangote is currently involved in that can be rationally said to be closed to competition (eg, there were 28 private refinery licenses issued BEFORE Dangote’s).

Fuckyoumod:
Dangote said he will sell refined oil to Nigerians at international price.

Now my question is where will the oil he will be refining come from?

Will Dangote import crude oil?

You do know that all Nigerian oil is sold at international prices?

There is nothing like “local price” for crude oil, but the corrupt stupidity that your government has embarked upon for years (if not decades) is to export crude, buy the finished products at international prices (sustaining foreign refineries and foreign workers in the process), and then use money that would be better spent on education and healthcare to subsidize the relatively small population of car owners. Interesting that diesel which is the primary product used for haulage in Nigeria is NOT subsidized (and neither is kerosene that is cooking fuel for many households), but yet Nigeria spends much more than its COMBINED education and healthcare budgets on the corrupt petroleum “subsidy” regime.

A foolproof prescription for commercial failure is to sell your goods at below the cost of production (wherher akara balls or gasoline). Nonetheless, if the government believes there is a social good for cheap petrol, it should DIRECTLY bear the cost of subsidization itself and not pass it on to PRIVATE businesses (as has been done with disastrous consequences on the still-born Electric Power sector privatization).

You can take some out of the ZOO but you cannot take the ZOO out of them...

NORSIYK:
If this government is serious people like this idiot (Abubakar Malami) should not make the list of those returning

Arguably the WORST and most incompetent Attorney-General ever visited on Nigerians...

uuzba:
But who built it?
Please be very cautious and sensible in this Nigeria. Live like a soldier, prepared for anything. Go and learn skills. Ridiculous skills.
We have no building standards organisation.
You, learn how to build.
This is the meaning of corruption: the organisations and bodies setup and meant to check for standards and safety, has been bribed by the people themselves.
Who's life is at risk now?

There are building standards, and even building development and control processes...
But landlords rarely observe them, bribe state officials or mobilize Ageberos to battle beat-up building control officials.

kerzhim:
This is the best time for Lagos government to have a new plan for Lagos Island.

Frankly, most of Lagos Island should be destroyed and rebuilt....
But that is unlikely to ever happen because it is an APC stronghold.

edlion57:
Can he perform it from there to aso rock

Don’t worry, we are collecting panties to do that...SMH

Hiploko:

Nigeria is sick!!!

Nigeria is sick because many Nigerians are sick...
Look at the defense/veneration of the Agbero afoot on this thread.

PRESENTATION:
As long as we all love controversy, this is a picture of Mc Oluomo taking a photo with the winner. Let’s not act blind we see it everywhere, corps members that passed out the other day took picture similar to this with their families. Did they present their certificate to them ?

IRONY is that your analogy may be correct - in that such Corpers posed for pictures with the benefactors who paid for them to get there...SMH

Bobby4090:
You are the one who is sick.

MC is a professional transporter and businessman.

He is into the Unionism too. Every economic sector has a Union. That he is popular doesn't make him sick like you. He invested in his sector. So in your sick mind everyone that's into transportation is sick, right? Or is that you just forbid unionism in which he is their treasurer.
Please wake up from your sleep and slumber and hail successful investors that you cannot match.

Nigerians’ complicity in their own servitude and underdevelopment would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic...

DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL AND DESPICABLE!
