Adultery is a sin but not a crime. That's y it can't be found in the criminal code.

Adultery is a crime under the penal code in the North.

Recently, a nairalander posted on whether a man can be guilty of raping his wife. While the answer to that in law is an emphatic NO, here is another angle to the question of rape. Why can't a woman be charged for rape generally?

Nigeria's current criminal law on rape is sexist. It is conceived as a crime committed by a man against a woman. Many developed countries have expanded the scope to include other kinds of forced sexual activity by persons of either sex.

So, the question is, should Nigerian laws be amended to also make women liable for rape? Afterall, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Moreso, research has shown that there have been incidents of men raped by women in Nigeria.

Should a woman be liable for rape? What do you think?

Legally, a man cannot be charged for raping his spouse.

Ohammadike:
The posters above me don't understand. The judge said it will run concurrently therefore he will spend only 7 months being the highest sentence

is it even 7 or 6? Plea bargaining in Nigeria is a fraud.

After eating a big bowl of eba at midnight, she's there forming fasting. Do you know how many Christians fast for a long period and you don't get to know about it, and they still carry on their business? If you allow this mischief now, sometime later, a new employee will ask for less work during 40 day Christians Lent, another will ask for same thing during RCCG fast. Better wake up. Fasting is no excuse for less work. Plus its for you to decide to give her less work, not for her to sit down idly without prior notification as to why. It's cheap blackmail. Pure and simple.

Pls, I'd like to know what the fate of those studying law at NOUN is as far as admission into the Nigerian Law School is concerned.

I know over the years they were denied admission, insisting that only graduates who underwent full time programmes are eligible for admission.

Later, I heard the programme had been granted accreditation and NOUN products were now being admitted. But just yesterday, I saw an advert in Daily Trust dated Tuesday, 7th April 2015 debunking the claims that they are now being admitted.

Pls, is their any law graduate of NOUN who has been admitted to the Nigerian Law School? Kindly help with the needed info. A friend now in 300l is in a dilemma whether to continue with the programme or write UTME again and start afresh.

Many of us have similar problems at my polling booth and confirms this comment by a prof.


My colleague and I have just unraveled why the card readers are displaying wrong data and why we cannot be accredited. Someone in loading our data had deliberately and fraudulently put someone else's data at the back of some PVCs (in small lettering), so that such data are incompatible with the info at the front of the card. Readable cards are those with compatible info both at the front and the back of the card. In my own case, whereas the front correctly shows my data, the back carries the data of one fictitious "Ohowerei"! See photos. In some cases, males are loaded as females. Yes, the fraud is exposed. Any defence by apologists?

-Prof Obododima Oha, UI lecturer.

I confirmed it too. The data which the card read is that of the name at the flip side of the card, which is not my name. If this is not fraud, what is it?

Card reader fails woefully at my polling booth. Only 2 people's card were successfully read. It displays someone else's biometrics.

I was once a victim of the dollar story in abj. I was duped of 6k. It is used by 419ers not kidnappers. That story is overused. Dumb people. They cant work they cant still think. Obviously they didn't believe you were broke they'd have refused to carry you outright.

it's not only you jare , neither GMB or GEJ deserves my vote.

Heads that think are rear. God bless you.

SeverusSnape:
I'll vote for her,even though it's only me. I don't care

That makes the two of us. #Gbam

Sonaiya will make a better candidate than GEJ and GMB combined. Intelligence is key. Why young ones will support cluelesness, nepotism, heartlessness, fanaticism still beats me. Why can't we sell a better credible alternative?

dplordx:
They are all recruited affiliates of PDP...I mean GEJ...All na wash!

Picture of where they fraternized with GEJ or addonbilivit

Oya mods do the needful. Sonaiya will make a better president than GEJ and GMB combined. Intelligence is key.

The media hysteria about Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), respectively, is such that the average Nigerian could be misled into summing up the February 14, 2015 election as a duel.

But this is not a in any way a two-way PDP-APC race.

There are, in fact, nine other Nigerians who are hoping to become president of the country in May 2015. They may not hold public attention in the same manner as the two front-runners, but ask them where they see themselves in another six months, and they would say nothing but Aso Rock.

These nine other Nigerians are:

OLUREMI SONAIYA (KOWA)

Tunde Anifowose-Kelani is currently the managing director and chairman of Siegener Sabithos Nigeria Limited, a provider of secretarial services, communication services, support, training, counselling and courier services in and outside the country.

Anifowose-Kelani, who holds a bachelor degree in personnel psychology and counselling, and another Master’s in personnel psychology, was chairman of his party, Action Alliance.

He would be representing the party at the 2015 presidential poll.

GANIYU GALADIMA (ACPN)

Ganiyu Galadima, the national chairman of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), was ratified as the party’s presidential acndidate by the party’s delegates at a convention held in Abuja earlier in the month.

Galadima is a muslim who believes “strongly in the need to end impunity in Nigeria”.

Galadima’s ACNP once moved for the prosecution of Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), who the party believed has been canvassing votes for Jonathan all along, against the dictates of the electoral law.

RAFIU SALAU (AD) Rafiu Salau is the national secretary of the Alliance for Democracy. He believes that he is “the best candidate” for the 2015 presidential election.

“I’m the best candidate because I know the feelings of the people better than any presidential candidate. I am also better than President Goodluck Jonathan,” he said.

“I know the solutions to the nation’s problems. I know the type of economy Nigeria needs to survive and succeed. I know how to make our nation be the first in Africa.

“To expand the economy, 30 per cent of the oil revenue shall be used for capital goods for development of businesses that will ensure economic growth.

“The population of unemployed Nigerians is more than many developed countries. To solve the problem of unemployment in Nigeria, every state shall have industrial city. And a state shall be created for the unemployed Nigerians. Developing the economy of the state will create jobs for them.”

He also believes tha driving the economy to a world-class standard requires 50 per cent of revenue generation from personal income tax.

GODSON OKOYE (UDP) Godson Okoye is a lawyer who contested the Anambra gubernatorial election in 2010 and came fourth despite running on the platform of a nascent political party, United Democratic Party (UDP).

He re-contested in 2013 and performed poorly, polling just 153 votes to come out as the aspirant with the least number of votes.

He is one of those who believe in a power shift to the younger generation of Nigerians.

He would be running on the same platform through which he contested the 2007 and 2011 elections. He “believes strongly in change in all key sectors in Nigeria”. Martin Onovo is an engineer by training. He graduated from the University of Ibadan and the University of Houston.

In 2011, he contested for the presidency under the platform of Action Alliance (AA). However, this time, he is running on the ticket of the late Gani Fawehinmi’s National Conscience Party (NCP).

His belief is that the opposition (APC) is nothing but the same as the ruling PDP, and that he is the right man to solve the myriads of problem facing the country and collective commonweal.

Onovo is member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers.

Little is known of Ambrose Albert, candidate of Hope Democratic Party (HDP) and Nani Ibrahim Ahmad, who will be running on the ticket of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

It is immoral to vote Jonathan, Buhari in 2015

BY TIMOTHY OLA BAMGBOYE

It is disconcerting, no less embarrassing, that the world’s most populous black nation is yet again stuck with the proverbial devil and the deep blue sea in the build-up to its presidential election in 2015.

It is a huge shame that even the intellectuals have helplessly resigned to the virtue-insolvent characters thrown up by the two heavy weight political parties, as though arguing for a credible third option is sacrilegious. For what it’s worth, even respected human right activists, social (media) critics, and highly intelligent youths are fast sounding like a broken record, passionately defending the indefensible.

My position is clear: Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari do not deserve my vote or yours in the coming election. Hard as family and friends try to sell either to me as the messiah ordained to take us to Eldorado, I cannot but wonder why it is not crystal clear to them that both are bad markets. Hard as noisemaking party faithful try to disparage the opposition’s candidate, I cannot but ponder on why playing the ostrich has shamelessly become a pastime to them.

I would not bother you with Goodluck Jonathan’s lackadaisical attitude to clamping down corruption or his romance with characters that should be serving time in a maximum prison or perhaps should by now have faced the firing squad. Neither would I bother you with his many acts of indiscretion and poor leadership aptitude and attitude.

On the other hand, to attempt to chronicle Muhammadu Buhari’s gross human rights abuse as military head and his arrogant dismissal of any wrongdoing as an aspiring leader in a democratic regime would amount to disservice to the intellectual acumen of Professor Wole Soyinka, who has expertly expounded on same in articles in the public domain. I presume, to Buhari’s cronies and supporters, dancing awilo on the graves of Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe, and Bartholomew Owoh who were executed in cold blood by Messiah Buhari is an act worthy of thunderous applause. To quote Soyinka, “Since leaving office, he (Buhari) has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.” Sai Buhari!

For me, we don’t have to go that far to uncover the unsuitability of both candidates for the highly exalted office of the president. That we have been unfortunate to have one of them for six years is no reason why we must perpetuate folly. And yes, that the other singlehandedly amassed an intimidating number of votes in the election gone by is no reason why we must not tell his gullible supporters that their hero’s credibility is zero.

Section 14 (2) (a) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states that “sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority,” while Paragraph (b) is equivocal in stating that “the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.” It was not by chance, I believe, that security is placed before welfare in the order of what should preoccupy a responsible government’s concern; for a government that cannot guarantee the security of its people can only provide a surreal welfare for them. Indeed, a government that cannot provide security for his people has no business staying in power since the primary purpose why the people relinquished part of their liberty to the government in a social contract in the first place would have been defeated.

Under the nose of Goodluck Jonathan, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, an estimated 5,000 civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks occurring mainly in northeast, north central and central states of Nigeria. Besides, more than 500 women and children have been reportedly kidnapped, among whom are the 276 Chibok girls that are yet to be rescued from their abductors. This is beside the many other criminal activities that have escalated in other parts of the country since his assumption of office.

It is convenient to say terrorism is intractable and cannot be easily subdued. It is very convenient to say Jonathan’s political detractors who threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable if he returned to power have been frustrating all efforts to curb the menace. The truth, however, is that Goodluck Jonathan has so far paid lip service to stamping out terrorism and insurgency in Nigeria. Who doesn’t know that except a tree is cut from the root, all efforts at cutting off its branches are but superficial? If Nigeria’s president in a statement could categorically validate his knowledge of the brains behind the wanton destruction of lives and property, who he affirmed as being part of his government, what further evidence do we need to disclose the insincerity of a leader? A president that would hesitate to expose and prosecute the sponsors of terrorism, [but rather send under-armed soldiers to take out Boko Haram foot soldiers] in order to protect his political interest should without batting an eyelid be sent into political oblivion by the electorates.

For Muhammad Buhari’s bootlickers, the fact that he is not president does not impose any obligation on him to suggest strategies to halt the Boko Haram nuisance. Assuming, without conceding, that this is the case, what has been his stance as an elder statesman and former military head on the carnage and bloodletting that has almost swallowed the nation?

Muhammadu Buhari could only stand by and watch as his devotees unleashed terror on innocent Nigerians after his loss at the 2011 presidential poll. I am not aware that he ever commiserated with the families of the deceased or condemned in unmistaken terms the barbaric actions of his supporters. Rather, he had the audacity to go ahead on May 14, 2012, to say to his bloodthirsty supporters that “if what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood!”

Muhammadu Buhari, to my knowledge, never concurred to pronouncing Boko Haram a terrorist group but would rather see the devilish sect as “our people” who are being oppressed by the military boys. I carefully perused his acceptance speech as the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate and all I see is one sinister speech full of guile and hypocrisy. While suggesting that the PDP has led Nigeria into “the current state of insecurity, poverty, sectarian divide and hopelessness,” the prevailing insecurity challenge and what he hopes to do about it was conspicuously missing in his five/six-point pledges. I wonder how he intends to implement a national infrastructure master plan, improve agricultural yield, and even stamp out corruption if he is overwhelmed by the same mass of terror that Boko Haram visited Goodluck’s government with. Does Buhari know where the switch-off button of insurgency in Nigeria is? How could one boast of astronomical development if insecurity remains unattended to? It is either Buhari is self-delusional or irredeemably impious.

He is the latter if he knew all the while the solution to the crisis but decided to keep mum. Why did Buhari have to wait till he got the ticket of his party before condemning “unreservedly and with every strength in me the recent terrorist attacks in Kano and Jos”? Such statements, rather than show him as concerned, smirk of hypocrisy. He possibly did not mean it when he said in his acceptance speech that “We will be a compassionate government,” for it is visible to the blind that he doesn’t know the colour of compassion.

I am left to wonder what the worth of a life is to the duo. Do they really care how many Nigerians are hacked down in the most bizarre manner by the demonic sect as long as they secure political power? Are these so-called leaders human at all? Can they possibly give up an ambition, though alluring and appealing, to save even a single life? Can they possibly rescue Nigerians from obliteration even if the opposing party would as much get the credit?

I submit that it is time we stopped massaging the idiocy of the political class. If the heavy weight political parties have decided to set charlatans on the loose, must we credulously embrace them for what is worth? Has sovereignty stopped being the preserve of the people? Can the best man for the job in an obscure party not be popularized by all and sundry who care about their future? I will not be party to settling for the lesser of two evils, for when you settle for the lesser of two evils, evil still invariably wins.

Pls, can Techno F7 be rooted? I've tried in vain to root it. Plus, I cannot download any app even when there is enough space. It keeps saying 'insufficient space' I tire o. Help!

Richiy:


Lol. But you know that you cannot hold a person to that last seen thing ba? Because it can be wrong. Maybe the person only peeped.

But this one is very obvious. Too obvious if you ask me. And am guilty. Chai.

yeah, you are right. it takes it a step further. now, you guys will be like 'sorry, i was quite busy at the time. promised to reply later but forgot' and my battalion and i will be like 'if you don't have time to reply at once, show some courtesy by not reading it at all! a simple ttyl or brb would have suffice or how indolent and insolent can one get?

Richiy:
I saw it too, and the lie of "am so sorry I didn't see your message. No vex na" just ended.

but the 'last seen 8.54am bla bla' serve the same purpose na. that's how i always catch your fellow liars.

donphilopus:
No Federal University Graduate could graduate with a first class?! State University Graduates are repping well!

Very wrong. Four people actually made a first class, and one of them was a first class graduate of law from the quitessential University of Ibadan. This thread, I suppose, is to celebrate products of schools that have never made a first class at the Nigerian Law School. University of Ibadan brain products have time and again broken uncommon records at the Nigerian Law School. In fact, the lady that carted away most of the awards last year was a first class graduate of the University of Ibadan. #Proudly Unibadan. #Proudly First and Best

Virus? I don't think so, try installing another application like one small application and let's see. if that does not work try and fix your play store or you clear data and force stop then start afresh. THAT MUST WORK MHEN!

Thanks. How do I go about 'fixing' play store? or force stop after clearing data. Is that same as deleting caches cos I've done that all to no avail. I can't install ANY app even those with kb size.

Hawlahscho:


download sdmaid and use it to delete copse, clear application caches, and delete unwanted files with it.
then fix you playstore wt market fixer, now go back to download.

Same ish. Telling me insufficient space still. Could it be virus?

To introduce yourself, always use 'my name is...' regardless of how many names are mentioned. That is acceptable standard English. e.g 'My name is David Tejumola Philips.' Note that your first name comes first, followed by your middle name and Surname. Where you reverse the other, the surname must be followed by a comma. e.g 'My name is Philips, David Tejumola.'

However, in a limited informal context, you may say 'my names are...' This might be permitted where you want to list out the names you bear in no particular order. In that instance, 'commas' will be used. E.g. 'I have many names; I can't remember them all. My names are (or My names include): Sade, Chinyere, Amina, Priscilla, Rosemary, among others!'
