And I mean it with my full chest.... You are talking about true federalism and you are okay with the governors appointing local government chairmen at their will without any physical election. The Federal government wants a realistic conducted LG election and you are here lamenting. Abeg carry your bitterness go one side. Whatever is ur problem, go solve it another place
JAWBONE: "It is better for Federal Government to control Local Government than states"
You said that rubbish and you think you have sense?
You are the one that is very stupid...... What are the states doing with the local government? It's better the LGA be controlled by the FG than the states.... How many of the 36 states have given full autonomy to the LGAs? And you love it to remain like that? At least an election will be conducted at the LGA level than governors using the office to settle political thugs... The way you people reason ennn, I don't know how hatred and bitterness have taken over una brains
Sermwell: You're either brainwashed or pretending to be stupid! The power to control local government will only be transferred to the federal! The person you quoted is right!
As a woman don't dare run your month and think some men will keep quiet and be claiming gentlemen.... E no dey work for some oo, they will give you back to back

So is Akpota the only woman in the Senate? she accuse other people too and she has be proven to be a liar. Why is this one true??
OredoPikin2: behaviour characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation And that was what exactly Akpabio did. We have had multiple women that have accused Akpabio of the same thing. Is he the only Senate president we ever had in Nigeria? Why always him. Again u guys are foolish. Someone will harass your wife and mother sexually and they won't be able to talk.
So should have carried camera around waiting for Akpabio to make those comments. Dundee
You are a son of a dumb father, so if you are a judge, you will pass judgement base on what exactly. If you are a judge, you will just sentence any man a woman accuse of sexual harassment without evidence?? You are so dumb and is people like you that are in our courts now as judges
OredoPikin2: Which evidence was she supposed to bring up? So she was supposed to record those moment abi? I wondered the type of foolish people we have this country.

So she cannot go to court with sexual Harassment allegations, or the court doesn't address such cases??
boringdraw: Why did the Senate not call for an investigation and find out if she has evidence or not. Her petition was throne out without investigation. Be smart next time.
How do sexual harassment victims win their cases in court? Do they just accuse people and the judge base his judgement on mere words of their month, if you answer this then that is the answer to your question.
cococandy: I didn’t say that though. I asked you a question that you didn’t answer. I haven’t actually said anything so I don’t know why you’re assuming what I’m saying.
I’m just asking you “how do you propose a victim of harassment should go about getting the evidence?”. Don’t think about Natasha or Akpabio in this case. Just imagine two ordinary people. What would be your suggestion for the procurement of evidence?
So you are saying everyone should just believe her because she said it? Leave politics aside and put yourself in Akpabio's shoes, everyone should believe any woman who come accusing you of sexual harassment because it's hard to gather evidence in such events?? What of those who have gone to jail of sexually harassment, did the court take the woman's word and base their judgement on it?? You can do better than this.
cococandy: What kind of evidence do you think people who have been sexually assaulted should present?
And if it happens that they weren’t equipped to gather evidence when it occurred , are you saying they should suck it up and not talk about it?
Before you respond, I’m not asking about this specific case. I’m just asking general. How do you propose that victims of sexual assault go about the gathering of evidence?
You people are really funny, you are talking about Education as if in a civil society, you will just accuse someone without evidence. Are you expecting the judgement to be passed based on sympathy or emotions?? Did you even go to school??
Rapmoney: The way some of you reason makes me wonder what type of education you received.
This woman's mouth has put her into trouble..... You wake up and accuse someone of such allegations without backing it up with evidence and you think you can get away with it?
I changed my phone and forgot my password, now I can't access the account, I was doing forget password but it's not working, is there something I need to do?
