”No wake keep of any kind for any deceased person, while religious activity for the deceased person prior to the burial must end by 9:00pm; and there must be no food, drink, life band or cultural entertainers during and after religious activity for the deceased person.

Similarly, all burial ceremonies must be for one day and the burial services must start not later than 9:00 am and must not last more than two hours, just as no preserved corpse must be exposed for more than 30 minutes from the time of exposition.

It further provides that all condolence visits after any burial ceremony, must not exceed one day and no person must give the deceased person’s family a condolence gift exceeding money for one jar of palm wine, one carton of beer and one crate of soft drink

How does this concern a government. You can do whatever you wish as private citizen so far you are not disturbing anyone. Why not let communities organize themselves to make these decisions rather government trying to control people's lives excessively.

BruzMoney:
Ok and how does this firms affect the lives of An average Nigerian positively?

Let the so called "average Nigerians" learn to also support one another. An average Nigerian that will rather buy imported product rather than buy locally made products is also hurting himself in the longterm.

olamidedivotee:
South Africa is colonizing us slowly

Which do you prefer? An African business entity or a Chinese or European entity? At least the money remain in Africa. I'm sure Nigerians also have investment properties in South African, and probably more than South Africans own in Nigeria.

A case of might against pen. Let's see whose side prevail. Nigeria's elites are a wicked lot.

StubbornGENIUS:
His career will soon crumble because of an unnecessary rant.I really pity him!

To pity someone who has no sense of pity for others is a waste of emotional "energy". I am not a woman but reading that "shit" hurt for the fact that someone somewhere who has been victim of rape would read it and feel so much pain. He requested for the condemnation. What he typed there suggest that he is very likely to have forced himself on a woman before. Because you spent N10k on a date expecting sex in return is no justification for rape. Even a prostitute does not deserved to be raped. It's like robbing someone of her free will. How can one even enjoy sex in such situation except one is mentally deranged.

LesbianBoy:
If we go by the real meaning of rape almost every guy would be castrated

Obviously you are number 1 on the list. I could sense your guilty conscience is haunting you. Start by reporting yourself at the nearest police station.

ofonimi:
Castration not death sentence is an appropriate punishment for rapists period. Those who oppose it are rapists period.

Both castration and death sentence are not appropriate as penalty for rapists. A long term jail sentence is what is needed and to ensure each of them face judgement.

Gmajor:
What kind-of human being would suggest this kind of punishment?

What do you expect from a Nija politician? Someone who could hand over N40 million to his girlfriend to print invitation cards for an event of 80 guests but can only give one loaf of bread as Covid-19 palliative to a house with 3 or more sets of families.

$22 Billion? Time to breakaway fast from Nigeria so that when time to pay come, China will know which of their customer to face, Nigeria. Not Biafra and not sure not a new Yoruba nation or a SS nation.

soberdrunk:
The Nigerian definition of rape includes violence and physical force, if we go by the Western worlds definition of rape, almost every guy in Nigeria is guilty of rape.....

There is nothing called "Nigeria definition of rape". You follow what the law says. If it's no consexual, it is rape. Gentlemen don't force themselves on ladies. In this age of social media, it seem a lot of boys now lack the necessary social skills to approach and woo ladies. In our days, we walk up to girls to express our desires and she say no, then it is no. Too many non-courageous he-goats are walking the streets.

light099:
This case is obviously ganged-up blackmail and a case of some frustrated hoes and gold-digging losers, who felt so stupid after discovering a smart player has successfully shined their congos in succession, one after the other.


By the way, most Nigerian ladies do not know the difference between rape, hardsex and consensual forced sex. That is why 90% of Nigerian ladies who have had sex before always ignorantly claim to have been victims of rape at one time or the other. They always have fake stories to tell. Chasers of cheap clout.

By the time it's done to your sisters, maybe you will receive sense by then.

Where were they when China was maltreating Nigerians and other Africans in China? Or Black Live does not matter if the victims are Nigerians or Africans.

Holding the bible? Same thing the whiteman had in his hands to enslave millions of Africans, with the church and catholic church running plantations in the America's, and even earned compensation from their government as former slave owners. They even had bible in their hands when they came to colonise Africans destroying our culture and tradition. It's sad to say, the bible is the what they used to justify supremacy of the caucasian over blackman.

I can see everyone blaming the stupid 19yr old who attempted to blackmail a woman old enough to be his granny. But the blame should also go to the society and parents that produce such child. A society that espous dishonor more than honour in humble and indigent beginning. A society that praise thieves and arm robbers in politics and high places, and men of unknown sources of wealth. What about the parents? A well raised child would shiver on the thought of participating in evil ploys, and that alone is enough for his conscience to hold him tight.

Abroad people call me every weekend asking me to send money (not bragging). Many of them are frustrated over there. They work long hours including overtime but the government takes federal, state, city, social security, medicare, medicaid and disability taxes. On top of that, when they buy biscuit, they will still take sales tax. They pay exorbitant rent; those who "own" homes are locked in a loan repayment for 30yrs of which they still have to pay annual taxes for their house. Phone bill can cost over $60 per line, cable $120, internet $80 and they still pay tax on top of it. Burger and chips with soft drink can easily cost you $16 plus tax.

Sure some folks are making over $100,000 theoretically especially healthcare workers in expensive states like California and new York, but by the time they deduct all those taxes from their check, they are left with just $40,000. Then they still have to pay more taxes on every thing they buy. That's not life. It's like a rat wheel, oscillating but not making any progress. I have a cousin who was in the same situation in America, after 10yrs working as a social worker, he returned home and we started up a business. He still regrets all the years he spent slaving away in America. Today, he travels the world on vacation and visiting places he didn't even have time to visit when he was living abroad. It's not too late for Nigerians living abroad to return home; you can make it big here with less stress and you will extend your life span.

Some Nigerians can lie. It is easy to know when someone is lying, as the chap above. As in every parts of the world, there are the doing very good, the doing good, the doing not so good, and the I wish I did not leave Nigeria. Problem No. 1 in the West is if you do not have residency. Most immigrants go through that phase and it's often the most difficult parts of their lives because without legal residency, it is difficult to have money in your pocket.

In the West, even most cleaners have a roof over their heads. One day I had to go give money to the Mexican that usually mow my lawn and I had to drive to the address he gave me. I was expecting that it's an apartment building but rather it was a newly built house in what seem to be a medium middle class neighbourhood. That is someone working as an "ordinary" Gardner as you Nigerians tend to make humble professions look ordinary. so, that is the same "abroad you claimed you always send money to people".

Jostoman:
They want to start their propaganda again with obasanjo. Baba please don't mind those APC online miscreant oo

Is Obasanjo your father? Tell him to go pay his staff salaries. Is it by force to have a presidential library? That white elephant project he used to squeeze donations out of political contractors is unlikely to have happy ending because it's all laid on a shaky foundation.

RuudVanNisteroy:
All because of Air Peace-An ant wants to try and fight a lion. As long as Air Peace owner, Allen Onyema, is wanted in USA for money laundering, Air Peace will not be allowed to land in any G7 country. He should book a flight to USA to defend the charges and recover the $14.2 millions dollars they seized.

Your head dey work so? There is a difference between Allen Onyema, the person, and Air Peace, the business entity. I don't trust the USA on anything. I live in the US and understand all their lies very well.

Good idea. I only learn about the story of this chap several weeks ago from a well researched documentary on Biafra. Can you imagine that? And I went to school up to university level in Nigeria and no history mentioned the story of this fellow. Same way we were not taught about slavery in the US and ancient African histories. We are generally walking around like empty heads oblivious of our past. Even the bible says:

Romans 15:4
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and .......

Duteronomy 32:7
Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.

Job 8:8
For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out. For we are but of yesterday and ...

Nigeria amazes me. People that can hardly use paint to demarcate road lanes will waste money to paint concrete roadside guards which painting does not serve any purpose rather than conserve the funds for future use to paint and maintain the more important road lanes. Apparently these folks don't use their head, the governor inclusive. Because, I don't see myself not asking question why the need to paint concrete rather than use the fund to maintain proper demarcation of road lanes in months or years from now. And this is a trend across the country.

Zukiemoniey1:
I Swear this guy is done protesting for the day,he has achieved his long awaited dream #NigeriaBlood

Can't even count the number of bottles of alcohol or whatever on his body. I ma sure he would be tracked down later and arrested. It is those who know him in the neighbourhood that would point his address to the police. Such have happened before. After the whole incident die down, cops will go house to house to go pick up all the individuals that could identify that did the looting.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
I’m not in support of extra judicial killing of any race

Police kill more whites than blacks in US, the officer that killed George Floyed has been dismissed, but he must face the law and sentence appropriately, I’m sure it’ll be done since the president has directed fbi to step in, but it’s sickening blacks can’t engage in peaceful protest, we saw how armed whites protest at Virginia, orderly and peaceful but the same can’t be said bout us... too bad cause this won’t bring back George



Civil disobedience is different from theft, target supermarket employs people of all races, stop justifying rubbish Mr...

Martin Luther king and Malcom X were both leader of the black resistance against racial oppression in the 60s, former supported peaceful protest while the later supports violence protest, we can see the leader with a lasting legacy between the two today



How’s my post self hating? by the way I’m not your darling

White apologist, where are you getting your lies from saying more white were killed in America than Black? I ask 'killed by who?" By police or during white -to white gun related crime? I know you are probably one the Nigerians that live America that act too Koon to find favour from your white lord. They will show you where you are from. Is it not the same America. They will soon show your monkey where to go chop banana. Be fooling yourself.

deji68:
How did He threaten Americans ... Are people looting under the guise of prostesting Not thugs

You must be blind, a president that says he would be shooting citizens because they are looting. Loot and be shot at. Does that match by motive and corresponding action?

BabaOwen:
The corruption in Lagos is so massive, how dem go dey construct a rail line for more than 10 year

Lagosians have to give another political party a chance in 2023.

This sanwo olu is just so over hype.

So far it is not PDP.

We want to see more of successful individuals like this. Not some money-miss-roads that you can be sure of their source of income that would park 10 luxurious cars in their garage or spraying money in public. These are silent achievers and I am sure there a lot more like these across Nigeria.

Of course we will get emotional about this because the beating was done by Indians. How about those Nigerians that are being mobbed to death daily within Nigeria. Foreigners see and know how we see and treat ourselves, so they do likewise. Imagine, another black man killed in cold-blood in foreign land. It's just too sad. Home is still the best. And stop the lynching Home and Abroad.

Dee60:
Dr Adesina has a lot of dreams and accomplishments. He has done a good thing to step aside for an investigation to be carried out and hopefully he will be cleared again. I however will not buy these politically motivated support flying around. Nigeria is so terribly corrupt (courtesy of our old politicians) that even Covid funds are now being investigated and it is about time we start to raise the bar if we ever want to make significant progress.

Barrack Obama is black. He contested twice in white dominated America and won twice as president of the most powerful state on the planet. He was wise. He knew that being black will attract a lot of scrutiny so he made up his mind not to allow things that could bring him into a question, knowing that the world is by far unfair to blacks.

I hope that Dr Adesina scales through and shames his detractors and by so doing lend credence to the fact that Africans can manage ourselves. Who knows, may be this is a blessing in disguise to further shine his image and prepare him for even better leadership roles.

Leave that story about Obama. They did not allow him do 10% of what he planned to do. We all know the story. He was just figure head. Most presidents are figure heads anyway.

jrusky:
Read what you posted and ask yourself does it make any sense Mr America advocate?

It is you who will come here to defend IMF, World bank Mr know it all defender of the universe.

Pls free me. Its too early for jarhons.

But that comment from whoever posted it was not advocating for USA but only stating how things work and reason why USA is pursuing forced exit of ADB president.

IceLip:
Let's always allow justice take its rightful course

What do you about justice? Ask the black man who got his life snuffed out of him by a white policeman in a country that claim its the home of liberty. The same country want to claim it is pursuing righteousness in ADB.

SIRTee15:
I noticed those of us living or had lived overseas and worked the whites are not buying this bullshit.....
The people at home are the ones swallowing the media propanganda.....claiming the allegations are heavy......
I can bet u the allegation of sexual assault is a case of romantic affair gone sour.....

U cant really blame Nigerians at home, I used to gravitate towards the white man's opinion until I relocated abroad......
Now I take everything that comes out of their mouth with a pinch of salt.....especially when it comes to African affairs......
They are so complicit in the rot and corruption going on in that continent......
Nigerians dont know because our leaders are doing a good job of under-developing the country, without the white man making an effort.....

I think its our duty to open the minds of Africans, both home and diaspora to the evil machination of these imperialists- both old and new....
At least our younger generations will have a better perspective of global affairs, and wont see the white man or chinese as saviours.....

Same case with me until I left Nigeria. Most Nigerians back home are living in "darkness". Sometimes it is hard to blame them because the propaganda is masterfully delivered. More so, the eurocentric educational system left by the British that our so called leaders choose not to dismantle.

Fragility6:
Are you blind dat u didn't see d accusations? So bcoz he is Nigerian he should be overlooked? If he is found guilty, he should step aside wedaNigerian or not.Is not evrything we should be looking as scapegoating

Not when a foreign country start cooking up stories and choose to ignore laid down procedures within the same organization it claim it is trying to save. Like USA love ADB more than Africans. Same old storyline. "They can't run their own affair without us". I am not a stupid African. I know my enemies and I am not going to treat them as friends.

SavageResponse:
He can you say that an in-house committee that was likely superintended by one of Adeshina's lackeys was unbiased and independent

Did you even read the allegations against him before coming here to defend him blindly?

Most people who head Nigerian establishments will not survive when given opportunity to head a multinational corporation where there are strict rules of engagement

In case you don't know Adeshina was busy employing only his friends and cronies and flouting organisational procedures.

He thinks he is still in Nigeria where qualified people should only be given jobs based on man-know-man.

He was also doing the usual over-invoicing Nigerians love to do so that he can get kickbacks.

But of course you will not see that one cos you have accepted corruption a a normal thing hence your blind defence of a compatriot

Nigerians and Africans at large are always quick to play the race card whenever a leader of African extraction is called out by the west for wrongdoing...quite a shame really cos that is the reason why we are the most backward continent on the face of the planet.

I am a full-blooded Nigerian but if Adeshina is found guilty then he should be kicked out!

You are just typing nonsense. The fact that you have to state that you are a Nigeria for us to know mean you can't make reasonable comments without dissociating the fact that you are a Nigerian. Who care? You can as well be an ET. As if Adeshina has no CV or he started out in a Nigerian organization.
