Aromas: From your point of view, u lack moralitism of viewing a government as cause a lot of stupidity on accumulation to your knowledge of understanding. Are you telling us that we deserve what we want when we all believe that GEJ we bring us out of charcoal of bad governance? You're a great mumulistic who grow up under acrobatically hot environment.

Naofficial: https://www.gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/cu-student.jpg There is always a level when maturity must have being attained. A level where it’s no more about physical punishment… Rather, about coaching. Reverse is the case in most private university especially Covenant University where there have been reported cased of student being given corporal punishment.
A 200 level student of a Covenant University was ordered to kneel down during a general lecture by a lecturer.
Remember a photo also went viral last time some students were asked to kneel down in BOWEN University for missing church service..
Yeah, the biblesaid,spare the rod and spoil the child, nots pare the rod and spoil the ADULT.

bishopjoe02: It is a usual practice by recruiting organizations to specify age requirements as part of their eligibility criteria. In most vacancies the maximum age for entry level applicants is usually pegged at 27/28 and in some ridiculous circumstances 24/25. After consulting the 1999 Constitution I discovered that this practice is unconstitutional as it is a form of discrimination.
Section 42 subsection 2 states that “No citizen of Nigeria shall be subjected to any disability or deprivation merely by reason of the circumstances of his birth”. Ladies and gentlemen your date of birth and hence your age is a circumstance of birth so also is your sex and ethnicity. Employers have been getting away with this constitutional violation because nobody has challenged the practice rather people go about doctoring their ages so as to meet up with these ridiculous age requirements.

The following are the only jobs that the constitution has placed age restrictions and these jobs are mostly electoral office positions;
1) President ; must be 40 years old...section 131 subsection 2b
2) Vice president; same as that of the president... section 142 subsection 2
3) Senator; must be 35 years old...section 65 subsection 1a
4) House of representative; must be 30 years old... section 65 subsection 1b
5) Governor ; must be 35 years old...section 177 subsection 1b
6) &nbspeputy Governor; ; same as that of the Governor... section 187 subsection 2
7) Members of the house of assembly; must be 30 years old... section 106 subsection 1b

Other jobs include state commissioners and special advisers to governors (which have the same requirements as those of members of the house of assemble) and ministers and special advisers to the president of the federation (which have the same requirements as those of the House of Representatives).

Ladies and gentlemen, taking into account our erratic educational system with its numerous strikes, most students especially those in federal and state higher institutions end up graduating in their mid twenties and when you then factor in the one year NYSC and the waiting period of prospecting for jobs (which could range from months to years) you will notice that a significant number of graduates would have exceeded the maximum age limits placed by prospective employers.

Dear naija jobbers, the wind of change is blowing and we should not just sit and watch our rights been trampled upon and I think now is the time to act. In developed countries you will be prosecuted if you dare place age requirements for any job vacancy.

I do not want to lie about my age because it is not a crime and I shouldn’t be made to suffer for it.

God bless you all.

kobonaire: it is not that, do not cloud your reasoning, it is about humanity and protecting our young girls. This is not an attack on religion. If you are still adamant, then perhaps the second "m" in your user name should be replaced with a "u".

Coefficient: Her grammar is atrocious. But I do agree with her. People should learn to respect other's choices and decisions. Being a celebrity doesn't make them superhuman. It's their life. But again, they should learn to live right because they serve as role models to many young people.

However, their bad news is good news for bloggers and news media. So, this seems like an unending cycle. People feast on bad news.

bravolad: There has been a variety of views and opinions but we need to put things in perspective and context of our African identity and cultural heritage. I believe we are talking about marriage in Africa not in Europe or America.

To that extent, there are some laws regarding marriage rites in which case traditional or customary marriage is more important. This is because the the brides parents would need to sanction the union. It also involves the whole community of her Kinsmen witnessing and giving support to it. In Africa, after traditional marriage, a man is deemed married both by his kinsmen and in-laws. They could live without the white wedding. But you cannot just take a woman to the church for white wedding without fulfilling the traditional rites of marriage. Even if some church grants such wedding, the woman's family will challenge it. It also spells doom for the man if anything happens to the woman; the man must remarry the woman in death before her kinsmen.

Before, you are wedded in any church in Nigeria, you are required to prove that you have done the traditional marriage. This also implies that the groom has obtained the permission of the brides parents to marry their daughter. Much as I know, the Catholic Church will not wed you if you do not fulfill this requirement. More so, the church will equally require you to have done the registry aspect of marriage to fulfill the legal requirement of the law before the white wedding. When I wedded in the Catholic Church some years back, both were required before the church accepted the wedding.

While the registry gives a legal backing especially for women, the church/white wedding is merely for God's blessing. This so called white wedding was imposed on us by the British and they made it a requirement for the issuance of visas for a woman to travel to the UK with the husband and family. I personally feel it is discriminatory because married men are not required to provide it. (This is a discussion for another day). No sentiment please.

On the contrary, both forms of marriage can be relatively organized with a little budget and expenses, but this is a country where the majority of people follow the band wagon effect. I have seen families disintegrating because one family wants the society kind of ceremony while the other requires a low-key affair.

bellong: Disowning a "rotten" child will not make him/her become good but will harden the child to continue with his atrocities. The best bet in dealing with such children is endurance, patience, wisdom and prayer. Above all showing them love that will one day catch up with them to change.

However, lawyers should help answer the question if there is a legal provision for disowning an erring child.

chidindufrank: big lie! Maximum of 6 subs in a friendly match. FIFA rule since 2007

tosomaju: Which block got burnt?

djeezy: We need pictures to compliment the story.@topic law and morality are mutually exclusive. No matter how indecent she dressed, the mob just violated and encroach on her fundamental human right which provides for dignity of the human person. Her dressing is wrong but the law hasn't said anything definite to that effect.

ayobase: Does it mean he aint gonna chew gum again?

And this brought "gullible" question to mind.

Who is more gullible between a person that buys this "last" chewed gum by the almighty Manchester United Coach and those that "follow" Jesus!

Those that follow Jesus aight?
Hmmmmm...smh!

As far as this is concerned, nobody is gullible!

Don't be surprised that the GUM is gonna travel from one generation to another like Da Vinci's!
