Where is Kate Henshaw making mouth years ago about how white men are so much better than black men? How she will never marry a black man. Until her ex oyinbo hubby dey nyansh their secretary and come bone her.

We black dudes had to go and sternly warn an oyinbo guy who turned a 9ja lady/his wife into a punching bag. Maybe he could have killed her.

There are violent men in every race. To kill the little girl too just takes the biscuit.

Whatever she may have done wrong doesn't warrant these brutal killings.

RIP angels.

The robbers knew their business well, the terrain and solid intel. Somebody with armed forces experience/expertise must have been involved.

Considering the outcry that will follow this massive bloodshed, they will soon meet their Waterloo. They will be ratted on soon.

RIP to innocent victims.

Common law unions are recognised by law in most of those countries but because of people trafficking and other unmentionables of course proof is required from passport holders from Nigeria ..not so from other countries

Haba! Not only from 9ja o. I tell you what I know. What about Ghana, DRC, Senegal, etc?
Common law marriage is recognised if you both already legally live in that country with the usual proof of cohabitation. Easy to prove with rent or mortgage documents, utility bills etc. Equally fairly easy for authorities to bust.

The main circumstance in which common is "recognised" is when it suits their immigration authorities. If they want to prevent an immigrant marrying their citizen to obtain legal stay.

If for example you once wrote somewhere that you were married even without giving them any marriage certificate at the time. Even if you later claim it was only a common law marriage without registration. They will demand a divorce certificate! Prompting some to go fake both marriage and divorce certificates.

If for your benefit like bringing your spouse abroad they will not take common law marriage seriously. Even kids born into the marriage or relationship have to pass a DNA test first! I know some whose kids failed it.

Or your prospective in-laws want to prevent their son or daughter marrying a foreigner. They can send anonymous letters to their authorities that you are already married in Africa. I have seen everything I wrote above and worse even.

Many countries began human trafficking long before 9ja. I still remember the days 9ja women were extremely rare to see doing ashewo abroad. It was women from a certain West African nation. Though many of them had 9ja kpale after living in 9ja and travelling from there.

Fact is we are lackadaisical with organisation, record keeping and documentation. Foreign countries capitalise on it.

Talking of trafficking first consider countries like the Philippines, Colombia, Brazil, etc.

Dude be a bit sensitive. Don't pollute a solemn thread lik this with your vanity stuff. Please.

Things have seriously fallen apart.

This is beyond unbelievable. An impoverished life brutally cut short.

Heart-wrenching.

RIP little boy. You're in a better place. The shithole didn't even deserve you.

Inherited property wahala.

if it gives way killing innocent road users now, they will blame village people.

not always true, a lazy person cannot become a hardworker by merely sitting next to a hard working person.

Op your premise is wrong, if it were correct than taking criminals to the police station would make them police officers.

In saner climes, a lazy person will not get the chance to sit next to a high achiever. But in 9ja tribalism & corruption make it possible.

To the question, in theory it does. BUT it also depends on chemistry.

Some very efficient people can be condescending, full of themselves and not generally pleasant. He or she may not even want you to achieve like them. If that is the kind of person next to you, you will be miserable instead of being productive.

If all is good and work atmosphere is great and you have what it takes, then it will be an inspiration.

If this is rolled out, people will soon feel the full impact. Because importers and manufacturers will have to pay huge bribe to beat deadline. That money will be passed on to consumers to pay.

So will food, drinks, pharmaceutical and other products already approved by NAFDAC be affected too?
FG always does things with very little transition periods. This encourages sharp practices.

Throwback:
He cannot try same here.

The lesson here is that you can be king in your own country, but outside of it, you are just another refugee, migrant or tourist.

It behoves us all to ensure our country is habitable.

Actually a very funny mentality. We should work and make our country great for sure. Those who worked hard to make UK good didn't have the mentality you just expressed. They did if for common good.

You do not need to be worshiped because you have money in any country. Lots of stars and rich people do go about freely in their own country in the West.
Ministers ride bicycle to work. Common in Scandinavia, Holland, etc.
The reason Africans worship rich people is that too many people are poor.

Many tourists, migrants & refugees in the West are white. Russians for example.

Many rich people in 9ja secretly wish they had the freedom to move about freely. Without drawing much attention. Especially those educated & lived long abroad.

Good guy.
God bless them.

Quick question


What were the parents of the girl thinking??

She promised to get a 15yrs girl that's definitely certificate less a good job

Which kain job, abeg

Nor blame the parents jor. If Bubu without certificate can become president, why can't a young vibrant, energetic girl find a good job?
I have no doubt her parents voted Bubu and believe in certificateless rise to fortune.

Think about it, the madam can manage or economy & govt better. She can set proper targets for ministers to eliminate darkness, poverty & improve our poor education & health care systems, etc.

With her criminal inclination to make money, the worst she can do is steal just like all 9ja politicians do.

9ja is in trouble. Poverty has finished it. Just imagine the kind of woman the girl will become in the future. After all the rape and abuse she will suffer.

God help us.

Customary marriage is recognised by law in Nigeria. Even if someone is married in a registry office greedy relatives have looted the deceased home and if that widow is not well conected and has a strong family behind her very little can be done.
Don’t talk like you don’t know what happens when those elders and older brothers are all sat down and start to share the deceased property ( wife included) once palm wine has been consumed!!

Japan does not practice English Law they register marriages very differently as we know it in Nigeria.

You took Japan literally. It could be Germany, Indonesia, China etc. Or Australia, NZ, SA whose legal systems was influenced by English law but still unique. Japan does not require Nigerians to show proof of Japanese law marriage at embassy in 9ja. But paper evidence of 9ja lawful marriage. No foreign country does. Since trado marriages have no officially recognized marriage documents, it is as good as not recognized. Modern world and laws have no time for "word of mouth".

The message you did not get is that foreign countries recognize marriages that laws of a sovereign country can officially certify by way of official documentation. I have seen this many times in reality Across several countries.

Take for example you want to bring your wife or husband to a country like Switzerland or Sweden. Simply filling application form with "married" will not suffice. You will need to prove it with a marriage certificate. If only traditional marriage was done, and the sponsor (foreign based spouse) is in a hurry to return to base, some end up providing a fake marriage certificate. You know 9ja is very notorious for "genje" documents at embassies. Not saying it is the sole reason. But it is one of the genje docs.

As for elders drinking "palmie" and deciding over inheritance, even many of the elders are educated now. Some may even be retired lawyers, headmasters, police officers, etc.

Plus most spouses, especially wives, just want the law to be on their side. With that they are ready to defy elders if elders decide to play rough play with inheritance. Remember most young wives are not talking about village ancestral homes. But property acquired in the cities.
So the case of "Chiwetalu Agu" the evil uncle attending village elders' council in Nollywood films is not the modern norm.

Merely? Chai!

So defiling a child is "merely"?

Thunder fire his stupid head.

Poor little girl.

Wetin dey dat house to Rob? Dem just go finish the poor lady. Maybe over land or other kind of dispute.

Rip.

Rip.

I think it has to do with the individuals, not the government. The law recognises all types of marriage. It is Nigerians that like complicating their lifestyle all in a bid to intimidate or prove nothing.

If you were applying for a visa to Japan, would their govt recognise trado marriage? It won't because it is not officially documented by any govt body. In the event of death, does trado marriage protect a widow well enough regarding inheritance? No it doesn't.

Laws gradually change society.

Sure we 9ja overdo things. But most women use the excuse of legal protection offered by registry marriage to press for it. In addition to church and trado.

Africans: Confused set of people.

Traditional, church and then registry marriage. Then a lavish reception.

Why can't FG allow traditional marriages be simply registered in local customary courts then transfer the record to to the general registry?

The local Oba, Chief, Igwe/Obi or paramount ruler's office can sign the document returned to customary office. And be equal in law to registry marriage.

That way all marriages done properly will be legally equal.

We just complicate our lives anyhow.

Is simply shows how Africa has been destroying the destiny of its own children.

This is another careless statement made without thinking properly. How did you come about this your conclusion? How many private universities did you attend to know that people do not fail in private universities? I attended a private higher institution and I know people who failed. I have friends who schooled at igbinedion and also failed and had to write their papers in summer or whatever it is they call it. Don't just sit down somewhere and make sweeping comments over what you aren't sure of.

Sure the school has the right to defend themselves. But it still has the legal duty to maintain confidentiality. They can even sue her for defamation if her claims are wrong. But NOT release details of results without her permission. It is called legal duty of data protection or 9ja has no such basic law or enacted parliamentary act?

They could have issued a general denial statement mentioning that she withdrew on academic grounds. Releasing this result will still not quell her assertion more than a simple one above. People can still suspect that she was made to fail those subjects for refusing sex. Or those marks could easily have been adjusted had she romped with some lecturers. Whether it is true or not.

If the police or any other legally allowed law enforcement body with a court warrant had requested such details in the course of investigating a suspected criminal act, then fine.
That is one of the reasons corporate bodies have a legal department.

I can even see the Wood Work Technology.

I didn't know we have Sudanese on Nairaland o. Until I saw this couple.

HML.

Our people say when person too open eye na dorty dey fall enter im eye.

Your mum is so smart that her achievement is be a serial divorcee. Dey fool yourself there.

Genuinely smart women keep their home together. They even do their homework before getting into marriage with any guy.

Well some women are already on 79th bf.

At leasts she makes most of her relationships official.

If Durojaiye had lived, she'd probably still be with him by now.

NOI just has too much integrity. Probably should never have ventured into 9ja FG. But then the development we had in her time would never have happened. She was one of the few good people in govt over the years.

But bigots and tribalists will always try to pull her down. NOI resigned as foreign minister knowing that her strength was better in finance.

How many Nigerians would quit foreign minister position voluntarily?

TheLordIsGr8:
Name him own karma carry hurricane come jam am. Tis a pity say the runaway wife no learn from her jilted husband situation.

Dude hardly anybody marries the first boy or girl they dated. A fling for one person may be a serious relationship for another. So everybody has broken somebody's heart before. The hubby in his student days was not unique in breaking hearts. Girls jilt guys to follow richer guys daily. But just running away from marriage using pregnancy and delivery abroad to deceive takes the biscuit.

Her own good. Cake & shoe complete na.

The baker probably decided to do her real shoe size.

Imitation nor go kee some people.

delishpot:
Hahaha Karma fall on the jilted liver badly. He dey form heart breaker. Karma give him several seats at once. Na so e dey be. As for the woman her own too dey run relay towards her. But this story sounds cooked up. Na so dem dey cook them nowadays to create sensation. I go agree if na man go Abroad marry white woman for papers. But a woman to dash away her baby when no be say she be teenager wey get bele out of wedlock. E hard to believe.

My dear it is not the same. All those fresher crushes at university mean little. Both boys & girls play "James Bond 007" in early days at university.

But in this case their university romance continued and led to marriage. I mean over 10 years relationship/marriage. If she had jilted him at engagement stage I won't even take it as a major thing. But not marriage & pregnancy, haba! Not everything one has to defend for the heck of it.

Marriage is a serious commitment that should not be entered into lightly, don't you think?

delishpot:
So because she told him she gave his child up for adoptiin he believed her lie? I think he should know better than that. She just told him that story to get him off her back. He should carry case to the abroad they will handle her matter.

She has probably given the name of the Americo guy to the baby.

Come to think of it, how do we know that the baby even belongs to the hubby?

The Americo guy could have been coming to 9ja and meeting her all along. Under guise of attending lawyers conference or such, she might have been camped by the Americo dude.

Even the Yankee dude might have helped facilitate her going to USA without the hubby knowing.

A devious woman can do anything.
