The way Iyabo Ojo carry this matter for head dey make me dey reason many things for mind. Who knows if Baba Ijesha don sample her clean month

The police should arrange for Baba Ijesha court kiakia.

The Courts are closed because Judiciary workers are on strike. They cannot hold Baba Ijesha indefinitely as it would be against the law. What they can simply do is grant him bail and charge him to court when the court resumes. Trying to force Police not to grant him bail is an attempt to take the law into your hands.

kingthreat:
I believe the story but the additional spice of the girl being raped for 7 years is bullshyt. How can a girl be raped from 7 years old and you just get to know when she is 14 years old? Well, let Baba Ijesha pay for his paedophilia. But I sense lies.

The media has been awash for days now with only one side of the story and some people are already passing judgement without concrete evidence aside an alleged CCTV recording which we have not seen and hearsay from several people.

I will like to see the official Police First Information Report (FIR) which should be a public docunent. Then the suspect should be charged to court and jailed if found guilty. Enough of media trial. It is not justice listening to only on side of the story and then developing bias.

Amotolongbo:
If a student stole the teacher’s handset, the best way to let the parent be aware is through summoning the parents to the school or sending the message to the parents to get them informed. Not through the report card

If any Teacher has any resentment for a student, it is better for the teacher to make a comment on the report card solely on academic performance of the student and leave the personality alone.

You cannot simply condemn a teachwr for using the avenue available to him or her to commemt on the academics and conduct of a pupil or student. Report Cards do not only have to carry academic information. They also can carry remakrs on behaviours and consuct in the school.

The best way to resolve a situation like the OP posted if the school does not want such on Report Cards is to create an avenue for documented feedback. Phone calls are not the option because they are not documented properly and anyone can deny. Also getting across by phone to busy parents may not easy.

Telling the teacher to apologize for the procedural lapses of the school is wrong. Most private achools in the bid to keep atusenst and pupils often bend on moral issues and that is very wrong. That is why we have people of questionable character as their products in the society today. A school that cannot discipline students for fear of losing them is not a school but a social tutorial gathering.

Sunnybay7:
He messed up big time.

What I can read is a serious attempt to bias the caae in the public mind. I am not being an advocate for Baba Ijesha but we need to give anyone the benfit of the doubt. Basing decisions on Police saying he confessed without showing evidence of the confession is injustice, particularly when we know the lind of Police we have.

The Association obviously hasn't heard Baba Ijesha side of the story but based its statement on what the Police said. That is an Association that is supposed to defend its members that is making statements without due diligence in condemnation of a member who is a suspect?!

Am I defending Baba Ijesha or claiming he is innocent? No. I am defending the right to fairness and justice that allows both sides to speak and presumes anyone innocent until proven guilty.

oluwaseyi0:
I blamed the Igbo inheritance sharing culture for this

Imagine when the first born is entitled to lion share of inheritance or females are not consider human enough to enjoy their fathers labour

I have a friend who usually says Lagos is too tough he will go back to the village and collect all his late father farms, houses and sell them to help himself,. I ask about his siblings he said they were not his business nor problem

He claimed he's the first born hence the rightful owner of everything, this is someone whose father last born is still in secondary school yet unwilling to give her anything because she is a female that don't deserve inheritance

Can I blame his siblings of same father same mother if they poison him? Of cause I can't

The Igbo need to really come together and do things right, if not most family better be ready for the death of their first born

Cc @mpesa

The best thing to do is to take legal action instead of taking the law into your hands. We have seen court judgements that cancelled the Igbo inheritance culture and gave inheritance rights to female children and the court judgement had to be enforced because it is from the Supreme Court. That already is excellent precedent. No need to go and kill anyone because of inheritance issue.

Pierocash:
is taking antibiotic ritual or demanding that they suddenly see it as imposition.

Is it not Also for her good.

All these people with feminist tendencies sef

The reason for taking the antibiotics may be that the man has an infection he is not disclosing. And that is dangerous. No one just takes antibiotics for 21 days without any serious reason. The typical days antibiotics is recommended by doctors is 5 to 7 days. And it is not good medically to take antibiotics without doctor's recommendations because there are side effects.

If the man will not disclose why she has to take antibiotics for 21 days, then I support her bowing out. He is definitely hiding something. He may be HIV positive or infected with some other disease.

sotall:
A bad habit not stopped early enough will eventually expose , destroy or disgrace you.

This is a lesson for whoever is reading this.
Many of us have what we do secretly that is bad and we find it difficult to stop.

Take a stand now and stop whatever immoral habit you have been engaging in. It will either destroy you or expose you.


As for the man, I pray he comes out of this later and repent.

The report and press release by the Police is scanty with details and should be taken with a grain of salt. The statement that he was caught by CCTV is false as the report said he went with the girl out of CCTV coverage in the living room to the kitchen. That is not indicting in anyway. Saying he was caught by the CCTV, that he has confessed and the alleged defilment has been going on for 7 years without substantiating facts shows desperation to indict or embarras him.

The man should be given the benefit of the doubt. The story definitely has more to it than what is being told on the blogs.

nairalandankrah:
Isa pandemic

The sad truth is that Buhari was also a Boko Haram sympathizer. How many prominent muslims spoke out against Boko Haram when they started? It was the killing of fellow muslims and destruction of mosques that gave some of them rethink.

Simplyleo:
I now fully agree with Pantami.

Whether una like am or not, NIN number must be linked to phone numbers so the actual terrorists can be tracked.

All these noise about Pantami being a terrorist is nothing but attempts to thwart the ongoing efforts to link NIN to phone numbers.

Good thing is that, Buhari doesn't give a damn about criminals and their opinions.

Clearly there are people who do not want the NIN to be linked to the SIM. The exercise must go on against all odds. And on the other side also, Pantami should be replaced. That you are pursuing a worthy cause at a time is not excuse to cover your sins or else people will get a wrong impression and precedent.

seunmsg:
I thought she wanted to sue directly. Why ask police to investigate when she can sue directly?

At the end of the police, the CP assigned to handle the case will invite both of them to his office and an amicable resolution will be reached. Both will smile like slowpoke in front of the camera and no one will ever get prosecuted. Life continues thereafter.

What she is alleging Omojuwa of committing is criminal and the Police is the first step in criminal cases. Makes no sense filing Direct Complaint in the court using your own lawyers at this stage.

seunmsg:
The letter is more of a threat than an explanation. So many subtle messages were passed. In summary, let it slide or we scatter everywhere by revealing unpalatable secrets. Let’s wait and see how Madam will react. Hopefully, common sense will prevail and they will find a truce outside social media.

You really have insight. Japhet is not showing any concrete evidence that Ezekwesili signed on as a Director or gave consent. What he is trying to do is threaten to use damaging confidential details that he had saved over time to fight. It simply shows he cannot be trusted and one cannot know the extent of his opportunism and the extents to which he is willing to go.

iamyemiakins:
The former CEOs of The Royal Niger Company touring their company then.

The company that has since been terribly mismanaged by the "sons of the soil". Then it was visa free to UK and commonwealth countries. Things we now only dream of.

Oh Nigeria. How thou hast fallen!

RapistOnBail:
Christianity, the bedrock of POLITICS

So divided in administration. You hear Catholics, Living faith, Christ embassy, Goshen, Christ Apostle, Olumba Olumba, and a Hundred thousandth of these churches.

Funny, they all try to win their fellow Christians to their parish. You hear them saying, come to my church and find salvation. Don’t go to that other church. You won’t find salvation there.

Happy Easter brethren

Olumba Olumba's organization is not a Christian one and should not be so confused. It is a religious organization though.

budaatum:
If police stop and search buda? Wetin dem go talk say dem chop belleful to be stopping to search buda? Somebori report buda to dem or wat? Dem no do due diligence?

I fit no sue someone for raising suspicions about me to law enforcement, but as you are finding out, someone can sue you on my behalf for raising false suspicion against me. Its just a great pity I can not sue you myself.

I guess you'd need to see this from the person whistle is blown against. Imagine you and I are contesting election and a week before, I blow whistle against you for things you never did. You will just be like a certain Hilary Clinton who had whistle blown against her emails 2 weeks to election and lost to one orange turd!

If I blow fake whistle say you stole my money and raped me, I'm sure you'd appreciate it when I am severely punished.

You need to understand the difference between whistleblowing and making a complaint. If someone says you stole his money or your raped her, that person lodges the complaint with the Police. That is not whistleblowing. That is making a criminal compliant and under the criminal code there is an offence already for making false criminal complaint with intention of causing undue punishment for anyone. Infact such person can be jailed.

A whistleblower is an informant and not a complainant.

budaatum:
Well, sorry, but you should get your facts right before you blow your whistle and tarnish my name. If you had assets I'd sue you instead but since you got none, I'm glad the law got you.

Actually, where's that lawyer of mine? Perhaps I should sue efcc for helping you tarnish my name!

Having anyone blow a whistle or raise suspicion about you to law enforcement is not tarnishing your image. It is expected that the law enforcement will do due diligence first and foremost. If Police stop and search you, are they tarnishing your image? If there is anyone to blame, it will be the EFCC in how they handle issues. If they treat a suspect like he is already guilty, then that is a problem with EFCC and not the whistleblower. You cannot sue someone for raising suspicions about you to law enforcement.

budaatum:
Good. Shows you can't just make up lies to tarnish someone.

It is not a good development at all. It is just a subtle way to kill whistle blowing.

A whistle blower is an informant and not an investigator. Informants are allowed to give information based on suspicion and not necessarily confirmed details. You may see movements of bags that contain money into a compound and overnight they can move it out before EFCC acts on your info. It doesn't mean the bags were not there and it doesn't mean an informant within the EFCC didn't tip the suspect off. For them to now start prosecuting you is the height of irresponsibility. That is why the masses hardly help Police with information in Nigeria.

It is the responsibility of security agencies to determine credible tips and act on them. Prosecuting whistle blowers is simply corruption fighting back. It is never done anywhere elae in the world.

ThreeEyedRaven:
I totally agree with him. The Bible only instructs the ministers or church workers to marry only one wife but didn't speak against polygamy

1. Every Christian is supposed to be in the service of God as per the great commission. So we are all workers and Ministers.' If Christians that are not in leadership positions have liberty to violate themselves with multiple wives, soon the old chaste leadership wil die out without replacement.

2. The plan of God is monogamy as shown by Jesus in Matthew 19:3-9 when He said "Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning made them male and female. And for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?"

Tranquility4u:
The female Muslim students are the ones to wear the Hijab on their body, not their Christian schoolmates.

So why striping and denying them their fundamental and constitutional rights?

Afterall, Britain and the United States of America and many other countries more developed than this nation, allow the use of Hijab in their schools.

But the Christian extremists want to control even the way Muslims dress, so that Muslim students will be half-naked like them.

That will never happen!

Enough is enough!

People should learn to approach issuees objectively even when religion is involved.

1. Mission schools by their very definition are schools created for community service to bring people into the Christian fold. Their modus operandi is clear and exists even before independence. For MURIC to try to ascribe anything "colonial" to them is simply dishonest propaganda.

2. Around 1974 the Kwara State Government forcefully took over the mission schools under the pretext of "grant-aiding" them. Those who made that move are the creators of the current problem. Some of these mission schools were built inside their parent Church compounds. Trying to make them public schools where mosques would be required for Muslims to worship is bound to create tension and conflict that was easily avoidable.

Government is already stretched to the limit even in maintaining ordinary public schools, most of which lack good classrooms and amenities, much less adding mission schools to the fold.

The best solution for the long term is to return the schools to the missions and move students that can't continue to proper Public Schools. There is no way Government can mediate in the issue without being seen to favour one religion or the other.

Government always go beyond itself in meddling where it is not needed. In a secular State, Government has no business with religion; no business setting up Pilgrims Boards or sponsoring pilgrimages by any religion! And it is wrong for people to make it look like Nigeria is a two-religion State.

And for the insincere MURIC, if Wike declared Rivers as a Christian State, how many years earlier have some other Governors declared Zamfara and Kano States as Muslim State by virtue of introduction of Sharia? Those Governors were not violating the constitution also?

IamAtikulate:
I get am before no be property. SE leads the SW in educational exploits home and abroad.

The South West people clearly appear to dominate the Legal, Banking and Engineering professions in the country. Ekiti State in the South West is widely known as having the highest number of Professors per household in the country. Even till date, the South West people are known to value education more than the other regions.
So it is very much easy to argue for the South West as the most educated.

Arguments should be supported with easily verifed facts and not simple assertions.

bkool7:
Nigerians!

The FG had failed in its bid to get the vaccines. Largely due to their lacked of preparation and incompetence. I'm surprised the Minister if Health hasn't resign now.
If BUA can come up with the capacity and logistics to deliver it to 1 millions Nigerians why all these politics if we all really do what we do in public interest?

The PTF and Ministry of Health requested for N 400 billion to purchase vaccines for 70% of the population at the rate of 8 dollars per vaccine. Now BUA is paying for 1 million units at the rate of 3.45 dollars per vaccine to be distributed FREE. Definitely the PTF, Ministry of Health and the FG would not be happy because it has made rubbish of their 8 dollars per unit request to the National Assembly!

On the other side, Dangote has been a perennial enemy of BUA and for just that reason would seek to truncate the deal to spite BUA.

Jostoman:
If you people are not killing and kidnaping people in the bush and their farm nobody will complain, you can't be killing or kidnaping people's parents and children in their farm and in the bush and expect your host to be happy with you. So tell your people to start living in peace with their host just the way southern people have been living in peace with their host in the north. Thank you

He has said Fulani own all the land in Nigeria. So all other tribes or ethnic groups are tenants.

Such seems to be their mindset in invading people's farms and harvesting crops for their cattle to feed without any regard for the farmer!

MelesZenawi:
Presidency might be right afterall

If the instruction from the Governor is for the herders to vacate Government Reserve lands, it is not a violation of the constitution in anyway. It is just the same thing as sending farmers on Government land away. Government can do anything they want with their land.

If the Governor said the herders should leave his State entirely, then that is another issue. But we have seen Governors banish deposed traditional rulers, an action that is clear violation of the constitutional rights of the persons concerned.

Olukat:
If Government institutions can't take responsibility for their actions,
Is it forensic audit report that will make them know what they did ?
Nigeria is a nation fighting against Nigeria

Paying heavily for forensic examination when the crime scene has already been tainted and tampered with over the course of months. Is that how it is done in developed nations?

Psalmy2cute:
I see no point in demolishing the hotel... we have too many leaders with poor reasoning capacity.... theres alot of homeless northerners loitering the street.. take them off the f#cking street for f#ck sake..

The flyer did mention any venue for the proposed sex party, neither was any immoral party held at the hotel. So who granted the agency the right to demolish the building? What judicial processes were followed and which court granted the order?

I do not support immorality, neither do I support lawlessness camouflaged as a zeal for morality.

matrix199:
Not just Nigerians alone. Even the APC want the PDP back in power because they are tired of themselves. They've failed woefully!



If an imb*ecile sits for ICAN exam, his failure won't be anywhere close to that of Buhari's.



Buhari's failure is unprecedented, magnanimous failure. Should be in 'Guiness Book of Record'.

Make no mistake about it, Nigerians are fed up with democracy as represented by both PDP and APC. A democracy where politicians are becoming billionaires but the masses are becoming poorer is nothing but a scam!

NwaAmaikpe:

Do not be the proverbial pig who could not recognize the gold ring that was put on his snout.

Take that woman around town. Let her see masquerades, sacred groves, waterfalls and places of interest.

But the most important place of interest she must see and taste is your preek.
Lucky enough, a used kpekus has no meter; it never tells who went there.

Remember that before shagging her; you have to be clear and get her to commit on what's in for you so you don't just waste your sperm, strength and destiny at the end.

OP, remember the story of Joseph (Yusuf) in Potiphar's House whether you are Muslim or Christian. You may very well be truncating your destiny and greatness in the folly of eating the forbidden fruit.

Oceanfield:
OK. So that you will have enough to loot.

No mind them. Other Houses of Assembly trim the budget because of current realities and slump in revenue, our own NASS is always interested in increasing the budget and approving borrowing requests to international lenders! Killing the country and its future day by day!

thesicilian:
So the embarrassment of Buhari is of more significance to the DSS than the hundreds of lives that may be lost in the process

It is an excuse for their own incompetence. How can a security agency come out to make such lame excuse when it is their responsibility to gather and act on intelligence to stop such?

Marine54:
Covid19 vaccine has created another avenue for looting for this government!

If you cannot test even 1% of the population in 9 months then there is no way you can vaccinate 70% of the population over 2 years (24 months), a period that is less than 3 times of what you have used testing less than 1%!!!

The simple calaculation of cost for 70% is just to siphon funds without any intention or demonstrated capacity of even vacinnating 5%.

efighter:
Imagine Oil Well in South South allocated to a man from Taraba while South Southerners are wallowing in poverty.

Those that have been similarly allocated to Southerners, what development has it brought to the region? Individuals are not the region and would only look after their own interests.

The policy of dashing out national resources to individuals whether in compliance with Federal character or not is bad and not in the interest of the generality. The resources should be used for general development not making individual billionaires.

Freestainworld:
so the ladies who stays on a man's side during his ups and down is lesser than you, Abi?

When people are poor, you do not know their true characters and that applies to both gender. A lady devotedly dating a poor man is no guarantee he will be faithful when he becomes wealthy. In fact the percentage of men that stay faithful is really discouraging.

The reality is that the only person whom you can be sure loves you unconditionally is your mother. As long as a man has qualities and attributes he seeks in a woman, such as beauty, slimness, skin colour and education level among others, then resulting love cannot be said to be purely unconditional.

Transactional relationships are the type in the serious majority these days.

Neurotika:
The regular adoption of locking people in their houses to reduce the spread is an embarrassment to science. It's either there's a political undertone to it all or the big pharmas aren't economically motivated enough to find a cure. The whole thing smells funny and I'm not eating it.

Develope a cure or reliable vaccine with your scientific knowledge and become a billionaire in any currency. That is enough motivation I believe.
