jmaine: Special barricade were made to cater for people going in or out of the stadium and coupled with the limited space left in other lanes . .genuine tax payers like me and other Lagosians spent almost 4 hours on a trip not meant to last even 15 mins

This picture below should suffice . .sad . .i deleted my personal shots cos that would have really done justice to your vain attempt of denying the obvious

jmaine: It says it all bruv . .I wonder why you choose to act smart by distorting the truth just because they sound convincing . . .

jmaine: Dude in both case there was a road blockage which caused untold traffic build up lasting hours . .what are you up to man

What issues do you understand . . and what kinda requisite intellect are you applying here . . . Let me give you the common denominator in both cases

I = There was road blockage in both event which subjected tax payers to unnecessary traffic pain by spending hours on a spot

II = Both parties who caused this are unrecognized by the constitution of Nigeria

Issue here = Fashola chose to selectively whine about the traffic caused by one and pretended as if the other did not happen . . .And what do we call that . . .[size=18pt]HYPOCRISY . . .[/size]

jmaine: As usual you came in here with your usual attempt to craftly regig lies as the truth . . . you were obviously not in Surulere when a portion of the road was barred so all motorist had to manage a particular section . . .and this limited space was what caused the traffic grid lock . . .dont come here trying to act smart as usual . .


Can somone else try please . . . . . .

jmaine: My questions still stands . . .Why is Fashola being hypocritical in his critique of unrecognized officials by the Law consisting traffic nuisance that both lasted for hours . . . .whether your discussing Dame or Not does not dispel the fact that this thread and you my Yoruba loving bruv stinks of hypocrisy . . .

djustice: Where are all these worms crawling out from Ni ibo ni awon oponu ayirada yi tii nwa na You'd better follow your own advice and put down that crack pipe. What the doctors are telling you is true. It's not good for your health. Olopolo dudu oshi!!

saxywale: I opened a fidelity bank account not long ago, I went into the branch 3 weeks after to demand for the terms and conditions of the account, the customer Service officer smiled and asked what I meant by terms and conditions, true story ..

djustice: Strange way to fight "tooth and nail" and be a dictator:

1. 1979, Obasanjo as military Head of State, with all the awesome power that position conferred, handed over to the elected President after an election he organised and saw through, in fulfilment of a promise he made when he assumed power 3 years earlier following the assassination of Murtala Mohammed. He "fought tooth and nail" then to leave office for his farm.

2. 2007: Having run the country for 8 years after being dragged out of retirement to put a troubled nation on an even keel, despite fallacious accusations of harbouring 3rd term ambitions (which, frankly, if he wanted, would have happened, with a notoriously corrupt National Assembly and governors eager to retain their immunity as a means of escaping arrest and prosecution for corruption, chief amongst whom was the charlatan, Bola Ahmed Tinubu), he handed over to a Yar'Adua after campaigning successfully for his election. The brigands in the Nigerian polity, Tinubu, Atiku and co, continued to shout 3rd term, even after he handed over!

3. 2012: After a successful National Congress of the PDP, he has now resigned, to the chagrin of Tinubu and his minions, like Gbawegbawe (obviously stoned beyond redemption), and all they can shout is do or die.

valacious: Pls it's annoying quoting coldfeet over and over again just to respond to her post. It's making this thread unduly long and boring, pls stop it. My worst advice was, bleep a girl well and u'll be in control. Found out it was all lies

jaymdee: The concrete demarcation on the second picture can be found on any portion of Benin Lagos Express Way. They're different roads.

razznaija: I was going through Linda ikeji's blog and i saw this post;

hamsky: When I say BB is shit some daft people dat know nothing about Tech open their mouth to say that it is the best phone in the world cos of the stupid BB bandwagon in Naija..........very soon they'll go burst and all BBs will be useless....watch and see.

mekaboy: HA HA HA HA, I KNEW IT, I SAID IT, WHEN THEY PRODUCED THAT RUBBISH PORSCHE , I KNEW THEY HAVE LOST IT. THEY SHOULD PRAY THAT ANDROID AND APPLE DONT INTRODUCE THEIR OWN PIN. THAT WILL BE THE END OF BLACKBERRY .

I'm happy with my droid. . . so much fun, battery, and flexibility.

I can even ping on my droid using whatsapp. . . so what the heck bout BB??

Henry40: I shall modify. I meant Nigerian Laws that have undergone legislative process.

A customary marriage is not a marriage under Nigerian law {under the above context}, it's one under Nigerian Customs.

Henry40: Well the poster wasn't talking about "How new marriages are contracted," he was talking about the international recognition of marriages already contracted! I say marriages contracted under Nigerian law are the only internationally recognized marriages, what do you say?

Henry40: The Matrimonial Causes Act

CAP 220 LFN 1990

Henry40: That was simply a reply to the statement you made

Henry40: Seriously? If there's no birth certificate how would an objective outsider be certain that they baby's name is what he/she says it is, and that she/he was actually born on the day he/she claims?

Henry40: I have a series of provisions that contradict the bolded. One of them is Part I Sctn 8 MCA

Babzilla: The reason why this may be is because the traditional marriage as we know it is more of a ceremony thing with no documentation whatsoever. just saying.

Henry40: In ALL Church Weddings you sign the Marriage registry, which means what you do in Church is essentially what you do in court and marriage registries. The act of signing the registry is what makes the wedding legal. Customary Weddings vary because customs vary. Sharia Weddings don't vary. Read the Matrimonial Causes Act

Googler: Thank you. So you mean if I had a traditional marriage and then get a certificate for that from my traditional ruler or local government chairman, that would suffice?

Henry40: ^^^^^^ There are three types of Marriages recognized in Nigeria -
1. Under the Act {A.K.A. Under the Law, A.K.A Legal Marriage}
2. Traditional
3. Sharia

Henry40: ^^^^^^ Under Nigerian Law, registry wedding are not "White Weddings," registry weddings are the legalization of marriage. I'm sure what you mean by "white wedding" is simply a celebration of a legalized wedding. Under Nigerian Law, Traditional Weddings are not legal. You ever wondered why a man can have 12 wives, and yet, only 1 of them would be his "1st lady"? That's because that's the one wise enough to make their marriage legal and you can only be married to one legal wife. Embassies generally place emphasis on the Legal, not the Traditional.

Have u observed that foreign embassies like USA, often don't recognize our Nigerian traditional wedding for travel documentation purposes?
For instance, if you are a Nigerian guy married to a Nigerian lady, and you travel abroad and maybe want to bring your spouse, the foreign embassies don't always recognize our Traditional marriages, instead they want you to go to marriage registry to perform a white wedding, isn't this another form of racism and descrimination? Pls we need to press on this issue, cos our culture ought to be respected and valued by us and foreigners too. what do u think guys?

djustice: First it was over N800k. Now, even with the bill in their very faces, saying N91k, they still have to make it 6 figures, to make it more sensational. God will punish all of you one by one for the wickedness in your hearts towards this woman. She may not be innocent ofor all we know, but the evidence does not support your wild claims. By the way, before you start with your yeye ethnic prejudice, I am Yoruba, omo ile Kaaro O ji ire, for sure. Not Ibo. So don't even start that one.

ZUBY77: Blockhead, how dare you compare elective position with appointments ? Ibori is a thief. There is no record of this woman stealing anything from her employees. She merely had a meal, expensive meal, which i am sure the likes of screen whores like mercy johnson and ini edo are enjoying. Everybody is not supposed to be poor.

Beaf: How can we wait until Obj's regime from 8 years ago is probed before we invest in putting urgent structures on the ground? How many years will such a probe last?
In the meantime, the country is grinding to a halt, sometimes I think we should have a "kick a pressman day" enshrined in the constitution.

It is important to find out where money's have been spent, but we need to keep pressing forwards at the same time. The new grid is supposed to more than double our power transmission from the current 2,500 - 3,000 Megawatts to about 7,000 Megawatts as soon as April next year (a mere 7 months away). So why would anybody suggest we wait for some impossible probe? The curent system cannot carry an additional 3,000 Megawatts load.

livapul86: @djustice: Am quite impressed with your insight. The truth is, there is absolutely NOTHING OUTRAGEOUS with the bill. For goodness sake, this is a woman that has been a Vice president at African development bank. Please lets be objective, personally am not rich and can't afford that sort of lifestyle, doesn't mean I would hate on someone who by virtue of her hardwork and exalted position is entitled to the good things of life. There is no case here, carry your hate somewhere else.

Zechy09: Useless story from a useless source. >: ..... I work in the oil sector and can say authoritatively that people earn twice or thrice working in middle east and some other African countries than Naija. These days I wonder why people believe anything without thinking if it makes sense. Eg can u pay someone working in Iraq same as Lagos?
We need to start thinking before venting our anger on anyone.
