The law does not reduce the legal age of consent to 11 years.

What the law says is that if one molest a child 11 years old and under...the punishment for him/her would be much tougher.

The age of consent is still 18....one still get punished if you molest a child under 18....but it gets tougher for one if the underaged child is 11 years and under.

And the law was formulated and passed by a Southern Christian....Sen Chris Anyanwu.

.

Bills are formulated after sounding out those who will vote on it (and majority are Northern Muslims) that increases the chances of it being passed. Perhaps left to those Arewa people, it could be 5 years old sef.

Makes no difference, serious countries mostly have 15 as a minimum. The age below which it is STATUTORY RAPE in serious countries. No excuse or mercy. I don't believe that an 11 years old Nigerian female kid is both mentally and physically more mature than British or Swedish ones. This is middle eastern template for Arewa people. Using Anyanwu is a mere decoy.

Whatever she was before, she's now a NIGERIAN politician. And they care about themselves for the most part.
It implies that you can molest a girl og 11 years and 1 second old and claim: she consented, she looks big like 18, she enjoyed it, she wasn't a virgin, etc. The lesser punishment for over 11 could mean an option of a fine like N10, 000. :oUp North they might even give it to the rapist to marry and avoid punishment.

bushdoc9919:
Sir...the law is simple.

It says in essence that molesting an underage child(i.e 18 and under) is still illegal...and if the underage child is under 11...the punishment becomes more tougher.

And the law was designed by Sen Chris Anyanwu....who fought for human rights before she became a senator.

Reread the article.

noblezone:
Stop shouting.
Majority of them are Islamists .
Islam permits them to marry children.

And when I say we don't belong to the same country, they call me names.

. The reason they still call this one country I will never know. Maybe because Lugard said so. Since we blacks don't have a word of our own. Those party leaders whose daughters and granddaughters are abroad will not be oenetrated at 11, so why won't they sign pass it?

DjHypno:
This is what we call EBA (The limited edition).

. More like limited ferrari editiion.

Even recharge card sellers can benefit from this. Customer service is VERY important, but in 9ja, most businesses treat customers like they are just a bunch of troublesome pests. Even big banks. Just forget civil servants. Pathetic.

Good boy, pikin 2 go remember you.

I'm glad you said you live in London. That means you'll identify the facts when you read it.

Admitted the scenario is different cos they're doing it through investment. But you must admit that those white people Mugabe chased, most of them were born in Zimbabwe and they don't know any other country. They see themselves as Zimbabweans.
What's the point in chasing them? Did they take all the lands? Were the lands taken with force? Can't black Zimbabweans invest in agriculture too and compete with them?
Nigeria will be glad if we have such people investing in our agriculture, a sector that as seen neglect over the years.
Zimbabweans are regretting the actions now because they lack the experience to manage such farms.

Nigerians are taking money from Nigeria to invest in UK. Much of the money stolen from you. That's what it is. Russians and Gulf Arabs have been doing this for like 2 decades now.

There's something you don't understand. Imagine the British remained longer in Nigeria and cornered 80% of farmland among about 10,000 white descendants, leaving nearly 170,000,000 to share the remaining 20%, often poorer quality land.

Would that be acceptable if eventually Nigerians take up arms and drive out colonial masters? After the war & independence, should we then allow 10,000 white descendants keep the 80% land that their ancestors seized from us just because they made the law that made them Nigerians?

Please before commenting, try learning about history, not all these google cut and paste things.

ayindejimmy:
Take over? I'm sure if you investigate properly you may find out those land were sold to them by the locals.

Go to London and see how Nigerians, especially Yoruba have taken over most businesses. By sending those farmers away they don't know what they've missed.
Other African countries invited those farmers over and gave them free land. How about that?

http://news.biafranigeriaworld.com/archive/2004/aug/01/076.html

. The same London am chatting from? We are professionals here, many at least, after some 3 to 10 years of serious education and training and gradually earning your spurs by dint of hard work . The only business dominated by Nigerians here is pentecostal church, which the British never were keen on in the first place. Those land were literally forcefully taken or by coercion. Seems you don't know the history. Now sovereign countries are inviting Arabs and Asians and some Westerners based on mutual agreement and sharing formula, under the laws of those African countries, not imposed lopsided colonial laws. They can be kicked out if they the comply.

StOla:
Didn't you read that the initial rent was paid for him by Gen TY Danjuma?
Do you know how costly accommodation is in Abuja?
Did you expect that for someone of Buhari's stature, the rented apartment would be in Gwagwalada or Lugbe?
How does a recorded old news that sheds light on the stupidity of recent false news amount to damage control?

Generally I ask, why are Nigerians so determined to ensure there's no righteous Nigerian, so as to find a reason to continue with their life of corruption and indiscipline?

. Truly modest people stay where they can afford, irrespective of stature. In fact modest people are oblivious of own stature. Must everyone stay in Abuja if they cannot afford it? We all manage according to our income. If he needs to attend national council meeting, I am sure one or two people from army days can lodge him. You cannot claim saint and accept help or money from the most corrupt people, the exact people he should be probing soon if he truly means to fight corruption. If he's really different from the rest, let him remain in Kaduna or Daura where he has houses.

Billyonaire:
There is no need for autopsy, methanol is the cause of death. Its poisoning. Kai Kai should be banned.

. Lol, ban to be enforced by whom? NPF? Another avenue for egunje don land be dat. Upon armed robbery, kidnap, boko and others, ogogoro warrant too? You go turn men in black to drunkards from ogogoro exhibit. . And plenty accidental discharge.

ayindejimmy:
Can you just read your comment?
Now ask yourself and those that liked your comment .. What system of government is being practiced in U. K?
Parliamentary! Quite correct. For your info. UK is the perfect example of Parliamentary system of government. It's allows them to preserve there Heritage. And every English approved of it.
Now. Does every Zimbabweans approve Mugabe?
Angela Merkel is doing are third term. So what? Does she have to amend Germany's Constitution to do it? Only in your book can that be juxtaposed that with Mugabe's 30 years?

.

Well, to have the right to approve of any government, you have to first have a free country. Mugabe took up arms to drive colonial masters out. The land issue at hand was a result of that war. He used land redistribution promise to keep soldiers fighting with him against white rulers.

The same Brits talking of democracy didn't give native Zim people full voting rights, Mugabe did! And thats's barely 36 years ago.

Remember, not everyone in UK approves of the monarchy. Yearly, some people reject honours (like KBE/DBE, CBE, OBE, MBE) from the Queen because they disapprove of monarchy. Republicans/anti-monarchists might be a minority, but they exist and are vocaL>.

Sure, Mugabe should have stepped down on the eve of the millenium like Boris Yeltsin, but I guess he's doing it out of defiance now.

ayindejimmy:
Can what is happening in Zimbabwe happen in any Democratic European country? We also have civilian dictators. Example was Obasanjo

.

Would Europeans allow a bunch of Africans come & take over their farmlands and patrimony?

LKO:
I implore all progressives to remember this administration in their prayers. I m personally worried, these evil men really want to see Buhari fail, the onslaught since Monday has being unprecedented.

Why are people this wicked and evil inclined? Our greatest problem in this country is followership. I now see why we are where we are. Buhari gets my prayer daily henceforth.

.
Oh ok,

Now that GEJ is out of Aso Rock, our problem is no more leadership but followership.

So all those IBB & Abacha years, na we common man cause am, bah?

Continue with double standard.

If GEJ can be abused and called all sorts of name, a veteran coupist dictator that truncated our democracy and denied us the chance to lead Africa in democratic evolution should expect worse.

He'd better start delivering because his honeymoon period is going to be extremely short.

Hmmm

1miccza:
Bros two questions sharpaly. Which lab you stay do your analysis on dog meat and who wan carry out autopsy for Bingo wey don die abeg??

.
I mean the victims or didn't you read that about 22 people died?

The cause is unlikely to be the dog meat, but hghly impure ogogoro.

Billyonaire:
Its not the dog meat, its the methanol that people drink thinking its ethanol. Unlike Ethanol, methanol is poisonous.

.

Poorly produced kai kai/akpeteshi can contain large amounts of methanol, instead of ethanol.

Dog meat is hardly the cause. Except the dog has been dead for days and wasn't properly cooked. But they typically eat the dog fresh.

But the 404 & ogogoro combo nor be here o.

A quick autopsy might yield some clues but toxicology part of it could take weeks to complete.

@OP,

From talking to people, about 50% of employees endure various degrees of dissastisfaction with their jobs.
People endure worse than you just mentioned.

While you sit idling by, getting food for oga's son (got me cracking this) is a way of exercising your legs and breath fresh air.
If you have a plan B, congrats.

If you don't have plan B and you're responsible for others like your kids/family, not a bright idea.

In a place like 9ja, you should have enough savings to sustain you for at least 6 months before you quit your job.

Better still, save enough/raise enough to establish a private business before you quit. Because you might just not be cut out as an employee.

Sijo01:
Mugabe, 'ROASTED' in Nigeria. Can't stop lol on that each time I remember it

.

As if them use am do picnic kebab.

I guess those Zim people watch to much Nollywood witchcraft films.

Na wa o

RIP

Police is probably the most rotten institution that the public has to deal with daily. NEPA/PHCN is close behind.

martinosi:
Lawd have mercy..where in the world does a president also become the oil Minister...

This Presido is becoming a Really Full of it...this guys is need to checked by the National ASSEMBLY real fast!!!

.

That's advice from OBJ. He did same in his first term in office.

Like Papabrowne said, if you can get cheaper acres for farming around Nifor, Oluku, Evboneka, Ekiadolor. etc.

It would be better.

scottfarms:
Good one Area Fada, Nigeria needs people like you. I hope you have gotten all the advice you need. Are you solely responsible for the management of your enterprises?

.

I took my time, in fact years before finally plunging in.

I'm basically financing and someone else is managing it as a shareholder. I have trusted him with a bigger non-farm investment before and he delivered.

He has experience with both crop farming and poultry.

Onajevwe:
I think it's better for President Buhari to appoint someone as Petroleum Minister. I doubt if he is up to date as to the present day challenges of the Petroleum Ministry.


Kindly Check my signature and reach out to me if you've any available job for a brother in PH and environs.

.

So he will be attending OPEC ministers' meetings?

The guy has been oil minister before, so he knows just how much can be stolen. He now wants to hammer and be rich like IBB & Danjuma.

Carry go abeg. Na turn by turn dem dey chop oil money. Nothing do you.

He should kukuma run a one-man cabinet, no ministers.

Until the country scatter one day.

Na wao.

Sadly there are many about. They cover their skin with make up and smile nicely but are evil personified.

Good thread.
I have few Agro-sectors that I'm interested in but being in diaspora is big issue. Management.
For now I'm just getting into plantain farming, beginning small, just planted last month.

Poultry farm will kick off latest by end of this month. Construction is almost finish.
But really food processing is my goal. PKO to be precise.

See this thread I created: https://www.nairaland.com/1872160/groundnut-oil-palm-kernel-oil

I have been encouraged by the Gurus on agric section here.

I only see what look like indentations of Agbalumo. Nothing there.

loomer:
Now u are talking. Cos me no see any reason why dem no either de hospital or go home

.

Even in my first post I wrote "Even though I doubt if hotels are the best places to house them for that period".

loomer:
And na hotel dem de quarantine people?

.

Nor be so una country dey? How officials go take chop money if they chose a cheaper option?

PMIcon:
Just to share some important but brief points on owning a RETAIL Pharmacy.

What Is Retail Pharmacy?

Well it is a Pharmacy that sells drugs in retails basically. They are of two types: one is hospital Pharmacy and the second is what is called Community Pharmacy. The second one represents the usual pharmacies you see around outside the hospital premises and they are what most people call Pharmacy. That's the one I'm talking about here too.

Okay, now that we understand what this is about, what are the basic steps required to own a Pharmacy in Nigeria?

1. You must either be a Fully Registered Pharmacist or your partner with one. Technically, only a Pharmacist can own a Pharmacy in Nigeria. Non Pharmacists can however deal in Wholesale though you will still need a Superintendent Pharmacist to register the Pharmacy with the Pharmacists Council (PCN)

If you are not a Pharmacist and you are serious (+ you have your money) I can help you get one.

2. Register your company with Corporate Affairs Commission You will need some of the documents here later. One warning I must give you is that the Pharmacist must have like 60% shares in the company otherwise you may not be able to proceed later. Your forms must be clear about who owns the Pharmacy (the Pharmacist) and who is/ are the other Director(s)

[b] 60%?! So why border then?/b]

Well you should have done your feasibility studies before investing. What I can tell you is that if you have a good location you ( with your 40%) can make more money in the long run than many other retail businesses. Imagine a single Pharmacy making sales (I didn't say profit) of 1million in just one day. This is not common though; it can only happen with excellent locations and great customer service. What is commoner is 300k-500k/day in moderately good locations. You can attest to the fact that this is not bad sales volume though. It's all about location and management skills. Some Pharmacies close down mostly because of bad location and poor management (they think they don't need expert advice- especially true for pharmacists- and end up wasting their investment)


The short cut to all these is to buy a Pharmacy put on sale when you are ready but it comes with its own challenges too.
I'll stop here for now. I hope this will be of help to someone out there.

k, nice post.
For an average-sized pharmacy, after renting store, paying registration fees and all, how much should one budget for the business proper in a place like Lagos, Benin, Ibadan, PH, etc?

And what about the other type: patent medicine store? How much should one budget?

tempex88:
what are they approving.....

.

You can be sure there is nothing like "Bill to improve public health, Bill to safeguard the elderly & other vulnerable people, Bill to combat child & maternal mortality, Bill to fight official waste of resources, Bill to Improve education, Bill to create employment for the youths" and so on. You can bet your last kobo on it.
