PoliticsRe: Why Nigerians Should Blame The Supreme Court For Rivers Election Violence by amtaken(f): 8:41am On Mar 20, 2016
I will only answer you with one sentence:


If GEJ was as desperate as Buhari and APC who even threatened to run a parallel Government should they lose the election, he would have employed every means to win but being the perfect gentleman that he is, a man who values human lives more than power, he allowed APC to rig the election by every means possible eg underage children were employed to vote for Buhari and many SE and SS voters even some Igbos in Lagos were defranchised.


3sha4lyf:
Fair enough... But I find your opening sentence open for debate.
More violent... 2015 elections... Hmmmm.

Well, at this point, one can only speak for what he or she saw. To be fair, I think we should recall there were two elections in 2015. If I should make a quick mere analysis, in the First election- Presido, APC were, to a large extent, disenfranchised. Some areas complained about APC being omitted from the result sheets. Some people sef were warned NOT TO VOTE FOR APC or receive SHORT SLEEVES. The conception was that GEJ was in power, would be in power, and NOTHING GO HAPPEN afterwards. But it didn't happen that way.

Then came the next election- Gubernato, while PDP were vexed with the outcome of the elections a fortnight ago, APC was given more gingered to make sure there's a band effect of their previous "victory" on the state elections. While PDP would maintain their tactics and with all the then federal might back in rivers since GEJ had lost, APC would swear they will match violence for violence, with or without the consent of their leaders, afterall, As you buy the goat, na so you go sell am. And indeed it was a bloodbath for who could kill and rig, etc better, which at the end of the day was meaningless because the PDP had Gesila Khan who had the "final say".

Even the Labor Party candidate was left to sit on the fence with fear.

That's the story of Rivers Elections that brewed so much tension, with people awaiting this Rerun to "do-again" or "do better".
I'm sure someone may relate to this.

Pls note that I don't support violence. The songwriter says "The battlefield e no get eye to look who to kill who to leave". And since no one has monopoly of violence, it will be silly to boast about it.

Elections now, especially in BayRiv, is like war. And if not checked, 2019, and maybe 2020 will be a massacre.

Quote the part of the Constitution that gives INEC the right to introduce something as important as card reader without first amending the constitution.

Do you know more than SANS and Supreme Court judges?

It takes a legal/judicial mind to interpret any law effectively.

If the Federal Government wants to introduce the use of card reader, there are certain requirements to be met before such can become statutory. That's all we are saying. We are not against the use of card reader, we are only saying that rule of law must be observed. Due process must be followed, that's all.

Hope I made myself clear son?

FashionGot Dark Kbuckles? Here Are 6 Simple Ways To Fade Them Away. by amtaken(op): 7:14am On Mar 20, 2016
Having dark knuckles can be a difficult thing to deal with for women of colour. It could be that you have them naturally or they could have been induced either by bleaching, excessive tanning, exposure to extreme/hazardous washing agents etc.

But first, what causes dark knuckles?

You need to know that it could be genetic, a health issue or based on how you use your hands. For instance, dark knuckles become more emphasized when you use a lightening cream or if you expose your hands to a lot of chemicals including washing agents, bleach used for clothes or excessive washing of hands.

You must remember that because you use your hands a lot, your routine must focus on pampering those hands. The skin around the knuckle is tough and any lasting routine must have the ability to keep the area soft to enable it absorb any treatment, and include some type of scrub to help peel off the dark skin and hyper-pigmentation.

On that note, check out these tips that can be used for both hands & feet to help you get rid of those dark knuckles.

1. Get a bottle of a good revitalizing lotion. Use a Q-tip, dab it in the lotion and apply it on your dark knuckles. Be sure to lay on a thick layer of the lotion and ensure it gets absorbed into the skin. After the 5-minute mark, clean it off or rub it in.

2.  Another great way to moisturize your dark knuckles is to use raw shea butter. First take a scoop of the butter and smother your hands and feet with it. Be sure to use this on your feet as well. Shea butter has properties that help even skin tone and moisturize the skin and will work well in reducing the darkness on your knuckles.

3. If it is severe, for the first week, after applying the Shea butter, wear disposable non-sterile powder free vinyl medical examination gloves on your hands and sleep over night with it. This will help lock in moisture to begin the peeling process. Then wash your hands with a mild scrub in the mornings.

4. For the feet, apply shea butter and then wrap your feet. The heat generated from the closure of the bag will help with peeling the skin fast. Do this every night for 1 week.

5. If it is not severe, then simply wear a cotton glove for your hands and a pair of cotton socks for your feet for about two weeks.

6. Using a scrub or skin polish as well is great for dark knuckles. Scrub the dark areas 2-3 times a week to help exfoliate the skin and reduce hyper-pigmentation.

If these do not help, you may need to see a dermatologist. Remember, a qualified dermatologist is a doctor! Consulting with uncertified beauticians can lead to damaged skin.

It should first be declared in Lagos State for the tribal war between Yorubas and Hausa's, then in Kano and Maidugri for the numerous lives bombed weekly, then in all the states where young girls are abducted and turned to suicide bombers, don't forget Benue where Fulani cattle rearers waste thousands of lives fourth-nightly.

State of emergency should first be declared in Maidugri and Kano where thousands of souls are lost weekly to insurgency and Osun state where hundreds lose their lives daily to hunger due to the indebtedness of the state caused by the greedy APC Governor Aregbesola?

Don't you agree?

APC was more violent in 2015 election than any other party I know.

In my ward, they were so aggressive and we're so ready to shed blood.

They were about bolting away with electoral materials after people had stood in the sun voting for hours, some youths from other parties tried to stop them, one person was stabbed by an APC thug and he was bleeding. We had to call the attention of the State Commissioner of Police and he sent some aggressive looking officers who spoke in the loudest tone. That was how they APC touts reluctantly calmed down.
We later heard that my ward was even 'peaceful' compared to other wards.

The hard fact is that APC failed mostly in SS and SE states because the people saw it as an alien party and truly the recent events have shown that they are prophets.

As per card reader, if the Government of the day is serious about implementing its use, then it has to go back to the drawing board by calling for Sovereign National Conference, leading to the amendment or total re-enactment of the Constitution.

3sha4lyf:
Truly it isn't... Yes I agree, even though I am of the opinion that INEC needs to apologise to Nigerians for wasting funds, and subjecting them to a process that was UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

BUT the truth remains the same. The declaration of the CR as unconstitutional has imbibed in electorates the "win-by-all-means" attitude cos der would definitely be no way to detect it.

This has nothing to do with the APC or PDP. It's what's happening already. APC won't repeat the same mistake they made in the previous elections by relying on the potency of a CR, and PDP would try at all cost to repeat what they did in that election. The result is BLOOD BATH, which is what's brewing in rivers. .

And I think as adults, we can have a debate without insults, except one wants to tell the cyber community how silly s/he really is.

The card reader is not constitutional and therefore cannot be admissible in evidence in a tribunal matter, even when it is admissible, it won't be attached with much importance.

3sha4lyf:
On the contrary, you are the Olodo. If you're an unbiased fellow, you would know that the SC did a big injustice by condemning the use of CR which people hoped will check rigging to a minimum.

Therefore, it's a "do-all-you-can-to-win" and later come to court where the loser has to prove their points in EVERY PU without making reference to the CR.

Yes, SC, Welldone.

You have no evidence his father said he is 25 newspapers are not pieces of evidence. The father can claim to be an illiterate who does not know numbers.

If he 18, he can argue that the last time he had sex with her was before his 18th birthday. Which was when she got pregnant.

This case can go either way

Why are you quoting me half way?


What age did his father give as his age?

Even if he's 18 now, so long as he had sexual intercourse with a minor while he's an adult, it is statutory rape.



Mynd44:
You will argue a person's age based on appearance? Please this eez nor a joking sturv
CrimeRe: Ese Oruru's Love Letter To Yunusa Before Abduction Revealed by amtaken(f): 8:17pm On Mar 19, 2016
Ese's father quoted Yinusa's age as 25.


Any average man on the street can agree that he's within that age range.


Now read this:

Even if Yinusa was 17 years when he abducted Ese, she was still under his custody when he turned 18 so their union was deemed to have turned to statutory rape as soon as he turned 18 and she was still a minor.

We are not referring to the pregnancy alone here.

Mind you, I do not agree with you that he's 18 but even if he is, the prosecution will still win the case.

I wish I was among the legal team prosecuting this case.


Mynd44:
Cool.

What we know

1. Ese is 14 now and pregnant meaning she was intimate with Yunusa
2.Yunusa might be 18

If that pregnancy was conceived before Yunusa was 18, you will need Ese to testify that Yunusa was intimate with her after he became 18. Now that is an angle you should look towards because Yunusa can como out to say he did it only once and that was before she got pregnant and he was 17 then.
CrimeRe: Ese Oruru's Love Letter To Yunusa Before Abduction Revealed by amtaken(f): 7:58pm On Mar 19, 2016
Fake letter by the way.



On a second thought, if it took Ese only 6 months to learn to speak Hausa language very fluently, it goes to show that she's very smart and very good with languages including English but where is the original copy?

Now read this:


The issue is not whether or not Ese wrote the letter, like I said earlier, her writing a love letter to Yinusa does not stop the fact that STAUTORY RAPE occurred.
CrimeRe: Ese Oruru's Love Letter To Yunusa Before Abduction Revealed by amtaken(f): 7:52pm On Mar 19, 2016
STAUTORY RAPE is an unlawful carnal knowledge between an adult and and a minor, it is immaterial whether the consent of the minor is gotten or not.

In the instant case, Yinusa, an adult male above the age of 18, abducted a minor and had an unlawful sexual intercourse with her. It does not matter if he abducted her with her "consent" or not as she's not old enough to give consent. Even if Ese begged him to have sex with her, it will still be recognised in law as statutory rape.

Don't try to rationalise it because that will never help your case.

I once handled a case where a minor actually seduced an accused, a 23 year old boy/man that she crushing on and he ended up having sexual intercourse with her. The defence counsel argued that the girl wanted the sex and even seduced the man, the young girl, aged 15, even testified that she wanted the sex because she was in love with the accused.

I argued that as a minor, she was not up to the age of reasoning and therefore was not capable of giving her consent. I also argued that rape is a heinous offence, an offence against humanity and should never be tolerated in any guise, that rape is a crime not just against the victim but also against the society and the offenders must be punished according to the provisions of the law to serve as deterrent to potential offenders.

The High Court judge ruled that the accused was guilty as charged and he was convicted and sentenced to jail without any option of fine. I was waiting for the defence counsel to file the case to the Court of Appeal but he told me later that he knew he had a bad case and we laughed it off.


Yinusa or whatever you are called, if you like tender 1 million love letters as the evidence of the victim's love for you, it will never ever stand.

What does a 13/14 year old girl know about love? At this stage she only knows CONFUSION.
