Originalsly: I do remember some things when I was 3 years old ... as in when my grandfather died I remember vividly him laying in the coffin and had two coins covering his eyes. When I described the scene my mom was shocked ...she told me I was only 3 when he died. Other things too. Maybe you don't...but others do. Did I say he was guilty? You need to keep your emotions in check ... it's messing with your ability to grab what you read. When you simmer down ... reread my comment...then reread your response ..you should notice something. It goes both ways ... women lie about being raped and men lie about not raping. Is it reasonable to say she is lying because many women have falsely accused men of rape? That's what you do. Do I believe a woman if she accuses a man of rape?....you say I do. Thanks for the newsflash ...I had no idea ... you know me better than I do.
you can't even stand by your own post when called to account.
You questioned the opinions and assertions of other family members comprising the mom and younger brother and sister who affirmed the complainant had mental issues and is a charity case to the family.
You also inferred Missouri is rife with incest and also questioned why anyone would believe a moneybag who is the accused.
When you're called out , you begin typing from both sides of your fingers. Bad.
all these losers from African countries whose loftiest ambition in life is to be an economic asylum seeker in Trump's country should learn how to be sensible.
A daft like you should realise your opinion is like your life: worthless.
Ipobfraud: That’s how you failed, you said it was renamed then I asked from what to what, then you cant answer. You that dont know your history is the one that will know illorin history.
I was asking a rhetorical question in satire.
Like your Monika illustrates, you're too daft to realise when you're being mocked and ridiculed.
Uchasa: I don't know where you are from, but I'm sure you're not from Abia or surrounding areas because every knowledgeable Abian knows that Arochukwu was Ibibio land just as present-day Turkey was inhabited by the Greeks of the Byzantine empire. Arochukwu was known as Ibom in the past until Crossriver Igbo forces connived to conquer the land and renamed it as Arochukwu just as Turks renamed Costantinople as Istanbul
muykem: Do you know that these people took almost all phortcourt land before civil War. Assuming federal government didn't assist Ikwere to get their land back, they could have become alien in phortcourt by now.
Ikwere is Igbo. You're supposed to be a house help somewhere
wellmax: Audu explained that Darlington had jumped bail, though the police had not defied the court order, given the timing during the Christmas holiday.
Read the above. Deji is just trying to make mockery of himself and his client
still not enough for the unprofessional ,illiterate and corrupt police to hold him so long without charging him to court
As a result of what AmaZulu King Misuzulu KaZwelithini has called "a disintegrated marriage", he has filed papers to institute divorce action against one of his wives.
The papers filed in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg state that there are no assets and liabilities in the joint estate worth mentioning, and the parties have already divided their personal belongings between themselves.
The queen, who News24 won't name to protect the children, has filed a notice of intention to defend the divorce action. News24 is in possession of these papers.
According to the king, the marriage has reached a state of disintegration with no reasonable prospect of being restored.
"Aside from communication regarding issues concerning the parties' children, there is no meaningful communication between the parties.
"The parties have, on several occasions, experienced trouble with their marriage and tried to restore the relationship without success. The parties have not lived together as husband and wife for a continuous period of at least one year immediately prior to the date of the institution of the action," says the king in the court papers.
The papers also outline spousal maintenance for the queen and the king's sole responsibility for the maintenance of the children.
"The plaintiff (the king) tenders to the defendant (the queen) rehabilitative maintenance in the amount of R20 000 for a period of 12 months from the date on which the decree of divorce is granted."
The king also seeks an order that the queen be liable for costs should she defend the divorce action.
Cluster leader of African languages and linguistics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and an expert on Zulu culture, Dr Gugu Mazibuko, weighed in on the divorce, which is a first in the Zulu royal household.
She said:
Traditionally, in a polygamous household, if a wife has done something wrong, she is not sent home or divorced; she would be built a home elsewhere but still be part of the family, and she would be required to perform a ceremony in apology of her wrong actions.
"With modernisation, even monarchies operate under the Constitution; everyone has the right to exercise their rights; we are living in a time where traditions are now challenged by modernisation," she said.
Mazibuko said tradition and culture have changed with time.
"Things have changed in any household due to cultures evolving with the times."
Unconfirmed reports suggest the king will hold a marriage ceremony on 26 January for Queen Nomzamo Myeni (third wife), whom he has paid lobola (bride price) for.

The time to plan for your future is now
All the money the man is using to marry many wives n feed more children he can use it to build an hotel that will b his retired benefit later in life
all the billionaires from Bill gates, Trump, etc are still working. They have passed 60.
Musicians and singers are still singing in their 70s like Rob Stewart, Santana etc.
God never made a man to retire. Government did. People who run their private businesses never retire. Obasanjo is still in his farm
Is your family surviving on government charity in the form of food stamps ?

You seem to have lazy bones where you believe government retirement of age 60 is the norm.
At 60, except you have health challenges, you're pretty strong and he gold standard is working till you die.
Your goal and ambition seems to be ankled on working for the government and retiring at 60 then surviving on pension and gratuity.

I'm sure your mother is greatly embarrassed by your existence and regrets not expunging you with the cheapest abortion pills around.

adenigga: The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to set an example by utilising Nigeria’s healthcare facilities for his medical needs instead of travelling abroad.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, stated that such a move would encourage Nigerians to trust the nation’s health institutions and curtail the country’s long-standing issue of medical tourism.
But the ruling All Progressives Congress warned Obi not to incite Nigerians against President Tinubu, particularly with his claim that the President had failed to address the worsening economic and security challenges in his first 18 months in charge.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Obi urged the President to consider using facilities like the National Hospital in Abuja or any of the Federal Medical Centres across the country.
“It is time for you to visit our national hospitals. For instance, consider conducting your next medical examination at one of our National Hospitals or regional FMCs in Sokoto, Birnin Kebbi, Calabar, Umuahia, or Akure, among others,” Obi said.
“This will allow you to assess the state of healthcare facilities available to Nigerians. It will also help you understand the condition of our hospitals and clinics, enabling you to make informed decisions on how to upgrade and make them more efficient.”
In the past 18 months of his administration, President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima have collectively undertaken 42 trips across 27 countries, spending over 180 days abroad.
Tinubu alone has spent 124 days abroad, visiting 16 countries on 29 trips, prompting speculation that some of these trips, particularly to France, were for medical reasons.
Obi stressed the need for President Tinubu to take responsibility as a leader by addressing critical issues firsthand.
He also urged the President to travel by road to experience the state of the nation’s highways.
“You can take short trips, for example, from Calabar in Cross River State to Uyo in Akwa Ibom State, a distance of less than 100 km, or from Benin in Edo State to Warri in Delta State,” Obi suggested.
He recalled a similar instance during his tenure as governor when he took former President Olusegun Obasanjo on a federal highway trip from Awka to Onitsha.
He said, “You can take short trips, for example, from Calabar in Cross River State to Uyo in Akwa Ibom State, a distance of less than 100 km, or from Benin in Edo State to Warri in Delta State. I recall taking President Olusegun Obasanjo on a trip from Awka to Onitsha on a federal highway when I was the Governor of Anambra State.
“That journey prompted him to immediately approve the reconstruction of parts of the road by the Anambra State government, with subsequent reimbursement by the federal government. Such actions are immensely valuable.
“Make both impromptu and planned visits to our tertiary institutions, where our children and future leaders are being trained, are essential to familiarize yourself with the available infrastructure, facilities, and amenities. These visits will provide valuable insight into whether the resources of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund are being utilised optimally and what is needed to sustain the education system.”
On political matters, Obi dismissed speculation about a merger with the Peoples Democratic Party or the New Nigeria People’s Party.
His clarification came two days after NNPP’s presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, denied knowledge of any such pact.
Obi emphasised that he had no formal agreement with any political party but rallied all lovers of democracy to unite and oust the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2027.
Reacting however, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, the APC accused Obi of hypocrisy, saying his New Year’s message is ‘misleading and appears intended to score cheap political points.’
Morka emphasised that the claim portrayed the former governor as a leading ‘doomsayer’ at a time when all indicators show the country is rebounding in significant measure across all sectors.
He said, “In reality, 18 months later, the economy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has shown a steady record of progress. Despite these and other initial beneficial outcomes of ongoing reforms, the administration is doubling its effort to ensure their fullest benefits for the transformation of our country.
“It is a thing of irony that Obi, who now arrogates to himself to be omniscient and philosopher’s stone, when it comes to our nation’s challenges, left no record of significant achievement, let alone transformation of any kind, in his eight-year tenure as Governor of Anambra State.
“Like his co-travellers in the PDP, Obi’s obsessive pessimism and endless but futile effort to incite public outrage against the administration is borne out of the realization that Tinubu is unwittingly cementing their political irrelevance by his visionary and full-throttle reform.
“Under the banner of the Renewed Hope Agenda, President Tinubu is dutifully turning our nation’s fortunes around. We urge Nigerians to remain confident of better days ahead.”
But APC always recruits the worse candidates they can find in each position.
Incitement? Instead of the useless and worthless APC to address the points the effeminate voice was saying, particularly the long and frequent trips, they are trying to intimidate the critic with the charge of incitement.
This shows APC is in charge of arbitrary arrest and raids against journalists and anybody who speaks against their incompetence administration.
