Family › Re: Can A Physically Abused Woman In A Marriage Work Things Out With Her Husband ? by apolonius(m): 10:50pm On Apr 23, 2016
Every marriage has dark and bright moments.

Trust,love and patience are critical virtues for enjoying the bright days and survive the dark nights.
Politics › Re: We Haven’t Recovered From Fighting Obasanjo, PDP Laments by apolonius(m): 10:47pm On Apr 23, 2016
PDP was an organisation of looters and very greedy men and women.

It lost its war on average Nigerians after 16 years.

Let them deceive themselves in cheap attempts to revive ties with Obj.

I hope such an evil group never come close to accessing central State power again.

Life is cheap in Nigeria because we have no real leaders and strong public institutions at all levels.

Such a shame.

Really sad a promising babe and her dreams is wasted!
Education › Re: UNILAG Students Sign Re-Absorption Form, Before Being Re-admitted Back To School by apolonius(m): 10:39pm On Apr 23, 2016
The university management is unserious.

They should prioritise creation of a conducive learning environment and infrastructure for the students.

Behavioural contracts should never be instruments binding learners and managers of the learning experience.

Our police are very useless.

Who are Wizkid and Linda Ikeji that resolving their stupid spat becomes newsworthy?

As a people our values have been fast overturned for kids who should be surviving on societal sidelines to be getting such cheap buzz.

Moderators on here too must understand that Nigeria has its best;cheap asses and dull little boys should get no serious spaces!

Bro you are on point, Don't mind those small pikin that does no know what politics is. With all the number of PDP Governors back then Ameachi still win the NGF election against the wish of the PDP. So many PDP senators will even go against their own when the time comes.
Thank you for sharing my perspective.

Yes o,even now patronages dey to attract and influence them. Some of the corrupt former governors in the senate can be promised some soft landing et al.

We see. Saraki won't be there for long. Another APC guy will succeed him.His successor will not be his loyalist,but Ekweremadu will stay as deputy.

African supreme presidency is all-powerful to override convenient and untested alliances.

Again,I respect your points even though I think differently.

I just made the point that you can't be so sure where the loyalty of anyone lies in politics.This is as true of the APC hawks as it is about the PDP.

The PDP has its fragments that are not obvious because they are on outside central governance. The forces imposing Sheriff and those opposing them mirror this factionalisation clearly.

When push comes to shove,the lines of interests and loyalty may not be so clear.

maupe:
Appearances can be deceiving. A fragmented PDP is not likely. Those who wanted to leave have long departed, the ones left have no where to go, not due to unavailability of options, but just down to the greener grass. PDP is the more you look the less you see

PS: PDP do not want obvious control of the Senate, so they will not vie for the seat, but rather will push forward or support another longstanding Senator in Saraki's camp
I agree with your reading of the PDP strategy. Yes,with the fragment of the APC senate caucus he controls joining forces with the PDP,the seat is Saraki group's to lose.

Of course,as Harold Wilson stated,a week is a long time in politics.
Politics › Re: PDP Only Needs Three Senators To Produce Senate President - Yerima by apolonius(m):
Yerima is assuming that all PDP senators will vote for a PDP senate presidency.

The colours of politics are rarely black and white.

The forces pushing Saraki out of office are strategically building alliances with the PDP.

If the PDP is as united as some think,how come only one or two governors,even from the Niger-Delta, attended Alams' burial organised by Mr Jonathan?

Has Mr Akpabio not gone silent as the leader of the PDP caucus in the senate in recent months?

Has Kashamu not been praising the APC-led government?

The idea that the PDP is united and strong enough to produce Saraki’s successor is a grand illusion.

bellong:
Tunai, I have no idea about PTE. You probably may get someone to answer it.

@Apolonius,

You will be better off with the solicitor. I think the law society in Australia gives preference for UK qualified legal professionals. The teaching will be a long thing as the body responsible will want you to have a teaching qualification.

I read something about registering as a lawyer for foreign qualified lawyers, I should still have the documents in my system. There is a different assessment rating for UK qualified people.
Thank you. Grateful.
Travel › Re: General Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa Through Skilled Migration. by apolonius(m): 9:09am On Apr 20, 2016
Great work you are doing on here Bellong.

I am a Nigerian lawyer with first and postgraduate degrees from the UK. Also presently doing a PhD in Law in London.I am in the second year and should finish next year.

Could get a UK passport in 3 years, but want to sort residence for family within a year and return to Naija to chase political dreams.

I have taught in secondary schools part-time for years in Nigeria and here in England too.

Got an invitation to apply that expired within few weeks because I forgot my login details used over a year ago.

Have seen the assessment bodies for solicitor and teaching.

From your experience bellong, which route do you advise I take?Teaching or Solicitor?

Have read both requirements, but what are the most critical requirements for the teaching route?

What sustain corruption in Nigeria are our youths!

Reading all the posts justifying the man make me very sad.

If he was a bank director and has the resources,why did he not start and complete the mansion before his election?

Does the fact that he has other properties denote a financial capacity to erect this mansion?

Was this not the same property where Chinese workers were said to have gang-raped and murdered a married woman few months ago?

Did he declare the land and 'on-going mansion' before his election?

Many of our youths are poor and jobless yet so stupid in defending our evil leaders.
Business › Re: Panama Papers: Wale Tinubu Operated 12 Shell Companies In Tax Havens by apolonius(m):
It is always troubling that our intellectually lazy youths get carried away by sensational headlines without probing for facts.

Is Wale Tinubu of Oando the same person as Asiwaju Tinubu?

Is the oilman the same person as the politician?

Beyond the tax avoidance fervour of Panama papers,business men have every right to design schemes for their international financial transactions.

Of course,public and civil servants implicated in the P-Papers may have committed crimes, prima facie.

Has Ifeanyi Ubah cleared his debts with AMCON?

In a serious society Mr Ubah will be in jail.In a banana republic he has a voice.

Romance › Re: Why Are Most Guys Unfaithful Even When They Have Loyal Or Beautiful Girlfriends? by apolonius(m): 12:22pm On Jan 27, 2016
I am no puritan or religious on man-woman relationship.Just practical as the fulfilled are those who see the world as it is;not as it ought to be.

Only less than 1 percent of men will really do 'no sex' relationship.Most may profess it but discreetly have sex elsewhere.

That he slept with somebody else does not mean he doesn't love her and won't kill same babe he cheated with to honour her.

Troubling paradox?Well,that is your average man.

Naija men you will say?No,check how many members of the British parliament lose thriving political careers to banality every other month.

Same for US politicians,from California's Arnold to New York's Eliot to Bill Clinton to the late lion of US senate,Ted Kennedy to Herman Can to Donald Trump to J.Allen among others.

I am using prominent and easy case studies to prove my thesis.The business and entertainment industries have thousands more every other year.

No man should cheat on a committed partner.Yet the earth is just not flat.

Babe,tell your friend to pick up her stretcher and walk.

TonyeBarcanista:
Who's duty is it to build university to standard? Is it not the government? If Jonathan built substandard, does that stop the incumbent from making them to standard? Which institution in Nigeria offers degree training in maritime studies? Is it not better we have one at home than keep going to Ghana and India? What's your point man?

Why not tell the government to scrap Law schools, Nda, Police Academy, Nigeria Military School, Police staff colleges, Aviation College, etc because non of them are world class.
Law school is under the ministry of justice.

Our economic troubles do not encourage duplication of institutions now.We can do more to ameliorate the cobsequences of harsh deprivations than spend what we borrow to build a new university to turn out more graduates that have poor skills and access no jobs.

Stop this sectionalism disguised as intellectual analysis.
