masonkz: **those laps**, I think I just found my partner.


...That's if Tyson Gay doesn't come out soon though.

Tyson Gay just married Natalya. No chance

People don't read. Sad.

Crap like this give bloggers a bad name

Eid Mubarak

Is that a celeb or his wife uploads pictures on facebook and bloggers steal it and blog about it? Cos I don't understand how Klint the drunk's wife released photos.

So despite all the explanations and threads opened to explain Section 29(4), people still think it allows child marriage or underage marriage at all. (hits head on the wall)

I don't like double standards. When other states like Abuja and (from the News articles being posted)Anambra sends people away, its repatriation. When Lagos does the same, it is 'deportation'. Let's be fair and rational sometimes. Though If the allegation is true that they were left there at 4.00 a.m, that's not nice at all.
Let's not allow the issue ruin our ever improving tribal relations. Some of my best friends are Igbos and Yorubas. Two of my dearest Igbo friends are happily married to Yoruba men in Lagos and vice versa. Let's try and be civil with each other.

figment232: U dnt seem to understand,d case was already in court.INEC acted in contempt of d court.

I don't think so. On what leg is the other APC standing to sue if it is not even registered. A scenario- I want to start my company XYZ and I then discover another XYZ company. Instead of me to quickly register my company, I take d other XYZ to court. The other XYZ gets registered with the name I wanted. They are Legal. I am not. If APC had met INEC's requirements, they would have already been registered, but claiming domain of a name without any legal backing is simply foolhardy.
You are welcome

I am confused. Isn't a group that calls itself 'Media for ethnic equality' supposed to preach ethnic unity and embracing every tribe and its diversity.

Mr Aboki: A girl got slapped at a party. Shes angry! She plans to revenge. Her revenge is to slap her assailant in a crowded mall, which she does and for which the girl dies from the slap..

What charges would you bring against her?!

I don tire to dey read all these wanna-be lawyers(your words dear) saying matters that they really don't know much about. Ever heard of the "Egg Shell princple" Applicable here and in many countries. Meaning if you slap someone and the person has some special peculiar condition that causes them to die from the slap, it is still murder. And Men reas is not only just intent to kill. If you have intent to cause grevious bodily harm and the person dies from that, that's still murder. The locus classicus case that I can't recall right now (it don reach 10 years since I learn am for criminal law). The guy was fighting with his brother and hit him once with the blunt end of his cutlass. The brother died immediately. Obviously he didn't intend to kill him, since he used the blunt end, but he intended to injure him and it was still murder. Manslaughter is more accidental, like vehicular manslaughter, provocation or causes where murder can't be proved.

In the words of Damien Sandow, you are welcome.

This has made front page before na

I understand the awareness you are trying to create OP. However, it only made me remember all the news report CNN used to do on us, depicting the filthiest part of the country to show the world that we are a backward 3rd class nation. We have plenty wahala as a nation. Even the New Born babies know that, but development is more than a beautiful surrounding. Even the "great" USA have slums and ghettos. We have a lot of other important problems to tackle. Qatar didn't do this on their own. They had investors willing to do business in their country. We have investors running away, from Virgin Airlines to Dunlop and many others. So when we fix the underlying problems, investors will return and Nigeria will be beautiful once more, but it starts with us.

Lagos 2013

Lagos 2013

The people of ALUU accused those boys of being robbers and burnt them.We all cried foul, accusing them of killing innocent people. Now the civilian JTF accused someone of being BH, with no evidence other than their word that he confessed to it and we praise their actions.
Nigeria We hail thee

Saw this on Yahoo by Chris Hardy. IMO, it pretty much sums up a bit of everyone's opinion

EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ON THIS CASE!

GUILTY OR INNOCENT?
GUILTY OR INNOCENT ?

That's all everyone asks

Here is a plausible description of what took place that night
Zimmerman is watching his neighborhood as Part of a neighborhood watch program.
His neighborhood has been burglarized 7 times in recent weeks by Black Males.
Zimmerman is definitely profiling Martin because he is black.
Zimmerman is probably a racist
Zimmerman is following Martin through the neighborhood.
That's not a crime.
Martin is walking around the neighborhood
That's not a crime.
Martin is on the phone with his friend saying he's being followed by a "Creepy *** Cracker"
Martin is also probably a racist.
Martin is mad that he is being followed.
Very understandable!
Trayvon confronts Zimmerman.
They exchange some words
From the physical wounds on Zimmerman it looks like Martin punched Zimmerman in the nose, knocking him to the ground, then straddling Zimmerman and pummeling Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk.
That IS A CRIME!
Zimmerman can't man up and get Martin physically off him so he pulls out his gun and shoots him dead in the chest.
THAT'S A CRIME !
If not, it should be.
Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter
Zimmerman used excessive force.
He should be found guilty of manslaughter and given the maximum
Sentence allowed by law.
He should not be found guilty of murder.
He should not be found not guilty either.
Racism is still a problem in this country
From both whites and blacks and Hispanics and all people of color.
Lets face it
America elected then re elected a black man as president
The truth is that if ALL BLACKS, HISPANICS AND GAYS VOTED FOR OBAMA, HE WOULD STILL LOOSE THE ELECTION IF NOT FOR MILLIONS OF WHITE PEOPLE VOTING FOR HIM
PERIOD.
We have come along way in the last fifty years.
But the media can't help bringing race into this case
It sells!
And neither can the politicians and the president himself!
When Obama said " IF I HAD A SON, HE WOULD LOOK LIKE TRAYVON" he made me mad.
WHAT ABOUT THE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF BLACK KIDS, GIRLS AND BOYS THAT ARE KILLED EVERY YEAR BY BLACK KIDS
Don't THEY LOOK LIKE HIS KIDS?
Where is Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson and all the protesters every day when blacks kill blacks
Or is that ok?
Blacks and Hispanics make up only 30% of America's population
But they commit 93% of all crimes in this country
Now am I a racist for saying this?
This just happens to be the truth!
Until black people start taking responsibility for their actions and change their position in life, people will continue to see them as scary crime committing thugs.
It's not racist to state the facts!

PhysicsQED: For what? And what were they charged with?



There are any number of reasons why he might have been looking at houses as he was walking. He could have been trying to remember his way back as he was walking in the rain. He could have been looking at the houses because some of them were nice looking. I didn't know looking at houses was proof that a person is plotting something. I'll be sure to be aware of that next time I'm walking alone.



That's already been debunked. That's a different person. Don't just believe everything you read on the internet.



No. That's incorrect. There's no evidence that he hit a bus driver or even took a swing at one.

"Women’s jewelry and a watch found in Trayvon Martin’s school backpack last fall could not be tied to any reported thefts, the Miami-Dade Police Department said Tuesday."

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/03/27/miami-dade-police-department-trayvon-martin-not-tied-to-jewelry-theft/



Maybe because it has no relevance whatsoever. Other people thinking he knows how to fight isn't relevant to whether or not he was murdered.



Could you provide the actual source for this? (An official source, not some blog). Even if this is true, given that Martin's biological mother and his father were not together (separated), there are obviously entirely different reasons why she might have wanted him out of the house, which she might not want to admit to immediately.



The only one of them with a criminal record is Zimmerman.

Zimmerman got into a scuffle with a cop and it's on his record. Whether the cop was in the right or wrong in that incident, Zimmerman clearly resisted arrest. Originally he was charged with resisting arrest violently, but he managed to get a lesser charge. And then there's that domestic abuse issue with his ex-fiance. But that's also murky.



If that was actually Zimmerman's voice on the tape, why was the defense team (for Zimmerman) adamant about trying to make the tape irrelevant because the voice of the person on the tape couldn't be reliably identified by any experts? Has anyone even shown the slightest bit of evidence that it's Zimmerman's voice on that tape?

Has Trayvon's father ever heard his son screaming for his life before? Does he know exactly what his son sounds like when he's screaming for his life?

Also, the person who saw Zimmerman losing the fight, did that person even see how the entire altercation started?



No, actually it wasn't his job to do so. You don't understand the concept of a neighborhood watch. There are other neighborhood watch volunteers who were interviewed about what the duties and roles of a neighborhood watch member are and they also made it clear that Zimmerman acted inappropriately in pursuing someone and even getting out of his car to confront them.

If you think someone is a criminal, and possibly a violent criminal, why would you (an ordinary civilian, not a police officer) get out of your car to confront them if you were part of the neighborhood watch?



Source? (An official source, not a blog)



Because everybody that's taller than you is as old as you, right?



So when Zimmerman trains at a sport meant specifically to help a person know how to fight better, his instructor can just assure us that he was horrible, and it doesn't mean that he was really trying to learn how to fight, and that he might have been ready and waiting for a chance to test out his fighting skills when he confronted Martin, but when Martin's cousin asks him to teach him how to fight, this automatically means Martin was a street fighting thug. Brilliant logic.



Actually, he did do that. He did trail the kid on his own. Then he got out of his car to confront him, even though that's not what any sane person in a neighborhood watch would do. Calling 911 is an attempt to give his vigilante actions some air of legitimacy or to give him some possible backup for his actions. He was covering his bases.

Ayee Idris, don't just believe everything people claim on the internet and don't just believe everything a man trying to avoid jail time says. People will say all sorts of things to avoid prison.

Burglary. Source. Wikipedia



That was not the first time he was going there, In the rain? without an umbrella? He decided to scope pretty houses? possible but highly illogical. Highly. Looking at houses in a hoodie in the pouring rain in a neighborhood besieged by burgarly at night is reasonable and prudent grounds for suspicion



Then a 17 year old picture would be evidence right?


You give me someone's opinion on the matter, that he thinks it is a smear campaign. I give you Miami Herald report. Shey this is not a blog. http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/05/23/3413343/




Even your article doesn't say the police was not suspicious. What it said that it cannot be tied to any reported jewelry theft. Didn't say that Martin gave an explanation for it being in his possession. Didn't say it is not in his concealed juvenile records


Well, It could show that Martin had some fighting skills and inflicted the physical damage on Zimmerman as the pictures show



I don't read blogs for news. I got in from Yahoo months ago. I cant locate it currently, but I did just find this on USAtoday
In dozens of interviews with family members and acquaintances, and from details available in court documents and school records, Trayvon Martin is revealed as a standout athlete with a ravenous appetite. Adored by family. Quiet and funny. And yet there is evidence of [b]drug use, school suspensions and an interest in mixed martial arts. Tattoos and gold teeth. Attributes [/b]used to paint Trayvon as a marauding thug or defended as simply a "typical" young man
Trayvon had been suspended several times during his school years, usually for minor trouble. His last suspension, for having marijuana residue in a bag, led his father to take the teen from Miami to his home in Sanford, Fla., for a few days as punishment.

Martin Travyon is a teenager and may have one, but we will never know cos their criminal record is always concealed.



the judge ruled in the beginning that the tape would not be used because experts could not decipher the voice. With all the rubbish they show us on crime shows, I cannot understand why they couldn't clear it up. The defense was angry that despite the ruling, Martin's mother was allowed to comment on it saying it was her son, despite the fact that the judge ruled it out in the beginning. don't twist facts. Didn't Zimmerman's mother also testify it was her son on the tape. Since it was allowed for Martin, it was then allowed for Zimmerman. Why would someone beating up someone be screaming "help". Not logical



Does his mother? I don't understand this question. Fact remains he said it was not his son screaming. When the case blew up, he changed mouth.



No one did, but since there are NO bruises on Martin. No injuries to his face or the back of his head. Doesn't logic dictate he was the one doing the beating

He acted inappropriately. I can agree to an extent. but lets not forget the antecedent. Lets not forget his statement that he said Travyon circled round and came up to him and asked "you have a problem with me?'. it may not be true, but that's all we have to go on.


There was no evidence that he intended to accost him. He would not have bothered to call d police. he did want him caught and threw caution to the wind because the 911 call sounds clearly show he only got out of his car when he saw him running.

It means it wasn't an attack on someone smaller or deliberate bullying as some media is trying to portray it by showing a 12 year old picture. Old means nothing in a fight



I didn't say Martin was a street fighting thug, but it goes to show that he also had some experience. The prosecution brought up Zimmerman's MMa background to show he cld defend him. Martin's background could also show that he could kick Zimmerman's behind, age not withstanding

He has been calling 911 before now in the line of his duty. Now you are assuming he had intent.




Maybe. I don't care about the internet. The internet told me that Zimmerman was a racist who wanted Martin dead cos he was black. Change.org called on people to sign petitions showing he was a racist. BUT the EVIDENCE has shown otherwise. I painstakingly watched all the boring testimony on Youtube (partly because I am jobless and partly because I wanted to know the truth). The evidence, from the gun shot position, to the beating on Zimmerman to the witness who called 911, to the autopsy report, to the medical examiner who saw him after wards leads credence to Zimmerman's story. that's all

toluene12: he's in jail because the white went after him. They set up thrumped up charges against him based on circumstantial evidence and unreliable witnesses and was sentenced to 150 yrs(or thereabout) in jail. He was chained and bound while the trial was ongoing. They wanted him in jail and ensured it.
SAME FOR KILLERMAN

lol. guy, na 33 years. I don't know much about his robbery conviction. But I just read on Wikipedia that he admitted to some aspects of the robbery but denied the others. I didn't follow the case, so I cannot make an assumption beyond what is on Wikipedia. The fact I am alluding to is that the whites didn't riot after the case. Except every white man was in on the fact that he would be prosecuted down the road.

Lucasbalo: . I bet u sure dont care about him but u are defending this self admitted murderer as if u are his lawyer. You said he didnt profile Trayvon. What is the meaning of this fucking assholes always get away. Isnt that profiling someone u dont even know. He is half white and half Latino. You are just very annoying. This is a very emotional case for all people regardless of race. I grew up in Chicago and I am very educated and successful Nigerian American and I have seen enough of this kind of injustice to make my skin crawls. You defending a grown-up man who killed a teenager because he was getting his ass whup is disgusting. If his life is threatened , why can't GZ shoots him in his arm or leg to immobilized him instead of shooting him in his heart. I am concealed gun carrier with my FOP card and you are trained to immobilize. Tray is 17 year old for heavens sake. That logic is beyohd your chicken brain. I rest my case. You are sorry case.

Typical. Trading insults on someone you don't know because he doesn't agree with you. I am not Zimmerman's lawyer but I am a lawyer with over 5 years with one of the best SANs in Nigeria, but hey what do I know about law and evidence with my chicken brain? It is on record that Zimmerman had called the police on several occasions to report burglary and before the police arrive, the robbers have left. Is it not logical that he would say "the f*****g assholes only get away'. Assholes referring to burglars, NOT black. (except asshole is now a racial slur for black people) You keep saying Teenager. Martin was taller than him. You think he knew it was a teenager? Yeah, I agree that he should not have shot to kill. I always have a problem with shooting to kill. But If Zimmerman's testimony is to be believed, he thought he missed. I don't know. He may be lying there, but I do know that it was dark, it was rainy and he was being beaten. Rational thought, like "let me aim for his leg" may not have occurred.

Stop being emotional, successful Nigerian American. Be civilized. Don't get annoyed with me for having a contrary opinion. I will not respond to insults. I don't have the inclination. The law doesn't look at emotion but evidence. He may be a teenager but He is 5 11 and Zimmerman was 5'8. Not exactly a scrawling teenager. Till date, there is not one single 17 old picture of Martin, only his 12 year old.

No one is denying that there is racism, but this case didn't show that. The facts didn't show second degree murder. At best, it showed aggravated assault, but considering that Florida has the "stand your ground' law, even that would be hard to prove

toluene12: hmmm, so can u tell us O.J simpson's present abode of residence?

Last I heard he was in Jail. Not sure But I am responding to the fact that Blacks would go after Zimmerman now that he is free. No one went after O.J when he was freed. It just makes us black people look bad, that we are murderous. Because things didn't go their way. Everyone is currently expecting a riot. Peaceful protest, why not? Riot or attack on Zimmerman? ridiculous. It should not be.

Lucasbalo: . I signed the petition in Lakeland Florida because I was on official assignment in Florida at that particular time. I guess u signed urs in Bahrain or which hellhole u are staying. Freanking liar. You are swimming against the tide and becareful so you won't get swept away.

, the petition online by change.org was open to all. I asuume you are a gentleman. No need for name calling because I don't agree with you

CAMEROONPRIDE: how am I supposed to know u are the neighborhood watchman? he has no right to intercept him, try to join a neighborhood watch crew , they are supposed to call the police and tell what they see. No I won't except if he tells what he is, something GZ didn't do . tray said on the phone a cracker is following me(this shows that tray was worried and afraid) .GZ followed him , tracked him, hunted him and gunned him down . period

stop kissing your massa's azz .slavery is over

Following someone is no crime. Attacking someone is. Evidence shows otherwise. I don't care about Zimmerman. He is NOT white, but Hispanic. I only care that the truth was distorted from the beginning and I signed the petition to have him arrested. I am sad that this is made into a racial issue. A man who had no prior history of racial prejudice. The only time he mentioned his race is when the phone operator asked him. And he said "He looks black", meaning he was not even sure. The gun residue is shown to have been shot upward, not down ward. Lets not be sentimental about this case. We are adults. We can argue the evidence presented without resulting to name calling. If the evidence has shown that he was being beaten and a witness saw it and nothing else contrary was proved, why will I believe otherwise because I want to support the black race?

shymexx: What witnesses? You mean those paid agents of evil. And the 911 tapes only proved that Zimmerman shot the boy for no reason.

Again, O.J never confessed to anything. He just tried to milk the people by saying 'if he did it', he would have done so and so. The LAPD and jurors messed up the damn case - blame them for that, and not O.J.

Zimmerman killed that boy for being black, period!

Do me a huge favour. Honestly, listen to the 911 tapes. And then re- respond

CAMEROONPRIDE: you clearly have no clues about the case , of course they fought. do you know what is a latino gang? of course tray got scared ..you would have done the same if someone start stalking/following you, esp in this racially divided America. where white beat up/assault black , latino do the same etc . who's GZ to intercept someone? who is that fcker to ask u to hold on? na wa ooo .


tray was probably a cocky dude, GZ asked him to stop and he said fck no , who the fck r u cracker , then GZ try to stop him by force, then the started fighting etc

He is the neighbor hood watchman. He has that right to intercept him. When you are stopped by vigilante guarding your estate here in Nigeria, will you not stop?. As for that conversation you stated, don't know why you got it from. No one saw the events preceding the fight. Only Zimmerman's words and If Travyon called him a "cracker", doesn't that make him a racist too?

Lucasbalo: miss idris, with all due respect u are wrong. Zimmerman racially profiled Trayvon and that is racial . Everything is recorded on tape. Please stop kissing the crackers ass. Shame on u for defending a self admitted murderer.

Shame on you for using the word 'cracker' a racist term and calling someone racial. Shame on you for not even knowing what is on tape and saying everything is recorded. I signed the bloody petition to have Zimmerman arrested, until the evidence came out. I am not blinded by racial sentiments, but evidence. Plain and simple. If someone is beating me up and I have a gun, I will shoot first. As will anyone else. If Zimmerman was black, this won't even be an issue.

shymexx: That picture looks fake.

lol. You go fear black man ooooo. Sentiments over evidence. This picture was taken by the medical examiner who testified. Yet I am sure you don't have a problem with the fact that all we see is Martin's 12 year old picture. ok oooo.

shymexx: I don't need to read the O.J case, I know about it. And I don't need to google Zimmerman's case - I've followed it from the beginning, from debates, to all the articles written by black scholars that I admire, to documentaries on BET(Zimmerman's lawyer was also part of it).

With O.J's case, there was no substantial proof that he killed them. And Johnnie Cochran(R.I.P brother) built his defense around that and persuaded the jurors citing the inconsistencies in the way in which the LAPD handled the case and the and how the DNA/blood-sample evidence were also inconsistent. Also, O.J never confessed to anything, he just wrote a book called: "If I Did It."

However, Zimmerman killed that boy. He racially profiled him and shot him dead.

You followed articles written by black scholars and because of that, you know about the case. Wow. Not the 911 tapes. Not the evidence shown. Not the witnesses' testimonies, but articles from "black' scholars who have been showing you 12 year old pictures of Travyon. Ok o. If that's why you are basing your theory on. I rest my argument. As for O.J, he confessed to his publisher that he killed them. However, double jeopardy stops him from being re-tried. He was released because the race card was played. Even the blacks know he did it. watch Under Cover Brother.

picture of Zimmerman taken that night

shymexx: And do you have any proof that O.J killed that woman?

Also, who told the police and the prosecutors to plant fake evidence there? - they messed up their own case.

Stop comparing apples to oranges. GZ killed that boy because he was black. He profiled him and killed him for no reason and that's unacceptable. They can't just keep killing black people everywhere like that.

Go and read the case of O.J simpson my brother. Everyone knows he killed them. It is not the most infamous case for nothing. He has practically confessed to do so. Yet no conviction. Go read up the facts of the Zimmerman case. Go to Wikipedia and google him. Follow the actual court happenings and then tell me again that this was racially motivated.

gbadexy: The news stations are anticipating riots.
What do you people expect, five white female juror and one minority.
Be sure the guy would get served properly on the street. He isn't safe anymore and he has had to change is telephone lines before because of threats.

White people did not go after O.J simpson after he was acquitted of killing his white wife and her white boyfriend. Double standard much?
