I agree with HE Mr. Peter Obi.
Justice must be fair to all, regardless of status.
We will get there surely!

From the pictures on the wall and the names on the plaques, we can know the actual owner of the office

Either way, she don buy market for herself!
But trust Naija, when she come out of Kirikiki, she will be popular. Her market will increase. She will be invited for interviews and podcasts. She will get endorsement deals and her face will be on billboards. Heck, she might even become President of Nigeria!

One thing that fascinates me about Lagos is the unique relationship between bus drivers and their conductors. It is a much underrated business synergy that can only be found on the streets, literally. They communicate using codes, slang and gestures. The etiquette of bus conductors should also be the subject of a separate study

I can just imagine how this incident will haunt her for the rest of her life . . .
There are things that are not worth fighting over.

helinues:
K1 even admitted that he's not supposed to be the one doing such hence apologizing.

So after saying sorry, what else?

After saying sorry, the law must take it's course 😁

". . . Ladies and gentlemen, that was the complete story of how I lost my job!" 😭😁😁😁

The story is so bizarre I had to check it online via AI search machines. Here is what I found:

The story above contains a mix of factual elements and exaggerated or sensationalized claims about King Henry VIII. Below is a breakdown of what is historically accurate and what is likely embellished or unverified:

FACTUAL ELEMENTS
1. Obesity and Health Decline:
- Henry VIII was indeed obese in his later years, with his waist expanding from 32 inches in his youth to 52 inches by 1544 .
- He suffered from chronic leg ulcers, likely due to varicose veins or diabetes, which became infected and emitted a foul odor .
- His mobility deteriorated, and he required mechanical aids like hoists to move .

2. Jousting Accident and Personality Change:
- In 1536, Henry was severely injured in a jousting accident, which left him unconscious for hours and exacerbated his leg ulcers .
- After this, he became increasingly paranoid, tyrannical, and prone to violent outbursts .

3. The Six Wives:
- Catherine of Aragon: Divorced after Henry broke with the Catholic Church to annul their marriage .
- Anne Boleyn: Executed on trumped-up charges of adultery and treason; her brother George was among those killed .
- Jane Seymour: Died after childbirth; Henry’s only wife to receive a queen’s funeral .
- Anne of Cleves: Marriage annulled; she survived Henry and remained on good terms with him .
- Catherine Howard: Beheaded for alleged infidelity; she was likely a teenager when married to the middle-aged king .
- Catherine Parr: Survived Henry; outlived him and remarried .

4. Creation of the Church of England:
- Henry VIII split from the Catholic Church after the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, establishing the Church of England in 1534 .

5. Paranoia and Executions:
- Henry’s reign saw widespread executions, including those of close advisors like Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell .
- He was deeply suspicious of treason, leading to brutal crackdowns .

EXAGGERATED OR UNVERIFIED CLAIMS
1. "Coffin Exploded":
- There is no reliable historical record of Henry’s coffin exploding. This may be a myth conflated with the decomposition of his body, which was delayed due to his obesity .

2. "Dogs Licking His Remains":
- No credible source confirms this gruesome detail about his funeral.

3. "400 Pounds" and "54-Inch Waist":
- Estimates place his weight around 28 stone (~392 lbs) near death, but the 54-inch waist claim is unverified .

4. "5,000+ Calories a Day":
- While Henry indulged in lavish feasts, exact calorie counts are speculative. His diet included meats, sweets, and wine, but the claim about banning turnips is unsubstantiated .

5. "Psychological Torture of Wives":
- While Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard suffered brutal fates, the extent of psychological torment is dramatized. Anne was executed swiftly after trial, and Catherine Howard’s youth made her vulnerable .

6. "Cushing’s Syndrome":
- Some historians speculate he had this condition (causing obesity and mood swings), but it’s not confirmed .

CONCLUSION
The core narrative of Henry VIII—his obesity, tyrannical rule, marital turmoil, and religious schism—is historically accurate. However, some details (exploding coffin, extreme paranoia about food) are likely exaggerated or apocryphal. His reign was indeed marked by brutality, but the most sensational claims should be taken with skepticism.

As a first car owner, go for a Toyota Corolla or Camry, or Honda City/Civic or Accord.

Leave these German machines till you have gathered some experience. . .

Kai! 😔💔💔💔

Lemme guess the real reason . . . Oga's child failed, so they need to correct the results

NinjaMetahuman:
If Nigerians inbibe the culture of suing whenever they are wronged like Americans, many things will be set right.

All these nonsense that banks and networks do and everyone just ignore and move on will be set right.

Class action lawsuits.

Including airlines who delay or cancel flights without due process or notice

Take them to the land of the Spirits...

Thank you!

Time to fix Nigeria.
What is that thing that some Asian countries do to corrupt politicians? Someone remind me
We need to enforce it on those destroying our country ASAP!

I totally agree!
The future has caught up with us, but most of our educational institutions, agencies and regulatory agencies are still STUCK in the dark ages. Just check out the curriculum taught at Nigerian universities and you'll know that the NUC is a joke!

Welcome to the future of education!

NECO, WAEC, NCCE, NBTE, JAMB, NUC, FME, etc, better wake up and smell the coffee!

Amen!

While we the citizens stand aside and look at the situation as if we are not concerned

Who do we expect to remedy the situation?

Do you know how many times we have gone on strike on this matter?
Do you know how many government officials we have lobbied?
Do you know the struggles?
Do you know how many of us were arrested and detained for speaking up?
Do you know how many of us were denied promotion for advocating better welfare conditions for lecturers?
The stories are gory, but the "policy makers and implementors" don't care.
If you citizens "stand aside and look at the situation...", some of us are active in the forefront pushing for reforms and risking EVERYTHING in the process.

The total number of people is 63. Very simple!

Congratulations to the couple!

Unfortunately, this is true!
The financial compensation of Professors is very poor.
That is why many of them are easily corrupted and used by mischievous politicians to rig elections

Addiction is absolute. There is no worse (or better) addiction.
ANYTHING that controls you, rules over your life - regardless of what it is!
