dake40:The money, time, energy and resources wasted on your education should have been invested on Premier Lotto or Nairabet, atleast those would have brought better returns. I also blame GEJ for your pathetic life. |
FirstCounsel:And I don't think there is anything like judicial precedent. I'll leave it in the hands of the bench and INEC. |
iamkeyz:Oloriburuku omo ale and you will be among the animals that will die in the zoo. |
Solidkay:Where is your conscience. Terminate it ASAP. So easy for you to say. So you support abortion. |
Following APC's tradition of blaming everything on Jonathan, I hereby blame Abubakar Audu's death on Goodluck Jonathan. Additionally, I blame him for the missing soldiers, the bomb blasts in Yola, Kano, Maiduguri and the IDP camp, fuel scarcity, epileptic power supply, dwindling economy, the current hardship in the country, Ambode's ugly face, the protests against Oshi-Omo-Ole in Benin, Okorocha's big tummy, the attack in Paris, the attack in Mali and my neighbour's daughter's menstrual cramps. |
mumumugu:We all know it's APC governors that are behind the whole brouhaha. They hate paying salaries. Always complaining about how workers' salary is always taking a huge chunk of their monthly allocation. Yet you see them going about in private jets and voting millions monthly for security votes. Let him talk, if he doesn't do, he'll be held accountable. |
illiad:Ok |
THE Ekiti State government has announced that it will not slash the minimum wage it is currently paying its workforce despite the financial challenges. Governor Ayo Fayose, who stated this, said to ensure the smooth payment of the salaries, the state government might de-centralise the state’s payment system. Governor Fayose, who disclosed this at the weekend while speaking during a sensitisation tour of Irepodun/Ifelodun and Ekiti South-West local government areas, said the current minimum wage of N18,000 was “grossly inadequate,” adding that “any slash would not augur well for the workers and their dependants.” A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, quoted the governor to have said “the state government would work out ways that the government and the labour unions would agree on the mode of payment.” He said the governor, who first visited Igede-Ekiti, headquarters of Irepodun/Ifelodun council area, said there was “no point hiding the financial situation of the state government from the workers.” He said: “I am enjoying your grace for returning me to office and I am not going to take the grace for granted. A governor who hides the true position of things from his people is only deceiving himself. The power of the people is greater than that of the leader. “I won’t reduce workers’ salaries. The N18,000 minimum wage is even not enough. I will never hold your money one day extra. The shortfall in the bailout will be redressed,” he said. The governor also added that a unit would be set up in the Governor’s Office to look into complaints about workers’ welfare. tribuneonlineng.com/ekiti-wont-slash-workers-salary-fayose |
Following the news of the demise of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate,
Audu Abubakar in Kogi state on Sunday, lawyers
across the country has stated that there is a lacuna
as the constitution did not make provisions for such
an occurrence
According to them, there is an obvious oversight and
grave omission of such circumstances in the Nigerian
constitution and to move forward, the doctrine of
necessity may have to come in.
The former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar
Association, Ikeja chapter, Onyekachi Monday Ubani
told Nigerian Tribune that the matter is a serious one
considering that there are no constitutional
provisions for such matters
“This is a serious one that the constitution did not
envisage. There are no precedents to such an
occurrence and if we talk about the party choosing
another candidate, we also have to consider that the
period for selection of candidate has elapsed; there
is a time limit for such things. But I think that in this
case, the deputy will have to go for a fresh election
“If we go by the Supreme Court’s ruling on Rotimi
Amaechi’s case where it was held that the party and
not the candidate is the beneficiary of elections. So I
believe the deputy will have to go for elections and if
he wins, he will now choose a deputy.
“This is a serious omission and the law needs to be
amended quickly,” Ubani concluded
Another human rights lawyer, Ikechukwu Ikeji Esq.
also aligned with this. According to him, there are no
known provisions for this scenario. “There are no laid
down rules or provisions for this, the constitution
never imagined such an occurrence, the only similar
provision to this is Section 36 of the Electoral Act
which indicates that if a candidate dies before the
polls, INEC should cancel and postpone the election
for 14 days.
“But now that the election is already underway, the
situation is different. In my secular view except
further research contradicts what I have said, there
should be a fresh election with the deputy or they
should go to the Supreme Court for interpretation.”
Also speaking, Barrister Olusayo Adeleye stated that
there are no provisions for such and consequently,
there will have to be a fresh election with Honorable
James Abiodun Faleke, the deputy stepping in as the
gubernatorial candidate
Barrister Kayode Ajayi also stated that since there
are no provisions in the constitution, the APC will
have to look for another candidate. The doctrine of
necessity comes in since the vacuum needs to be
filled. The law didn’t envisage this but there must be a
way out. Remember when Atiku Abubakar as
governor was chosen to be the Vice President, his
deputy, Bonny Haruna stood in as the Governor and
selected another deputy.
Barrister Taoheed Asudemade was also of the same
opinion. He stated that since there are no provisions,
the APC will have to look for another candidate while
INEC will conduct another election. His death has
nullified the one that is on-going. tribuneonlineng.com/no-constitutional-provision-for-audus-death--lawyers |
You guys should take it easy on the kid. OP you are 18 and a Jambite, go and face your books before you start disturbing us with another thread like "which university can admit a student with a utme score of 175" |
We know Nadia Buari- 33, Yakubu Aiyegbeni-33, Obafemi Martins 31. So Nadia is older than Martins and agemate with Yakubu. Enough said. Meanwhile Buhari is in Iran to meet with ISIS representatives and plan more attacks on Nigeria. |

The Malian president cancelled his foreign trip to a summit in Niger after the Radison Blu hotel attack but our own is gallivanting around the world despite the bomb blasts and the allegedly missing soldiers. |
SPOPOVICH:Good looking yeeboes like Mr Ibu. Igbos like to console themselves. Forbes list of the richest Nigerians, how many Yorubas and how many yeeboes on the list? Obat Oil owned by Obateru Akinruntan has the largest oil depot in Africa. What of Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim and Honeywell owned by Oba Otudeko? Useless mofos will be shouting they drive the economy with their 60inches by 70inches shops. Yeeboes have traders, Yorubas have industrialists. When education and civilisation landed in the Southwest, Yeeboes were still using leaves to cover their bodies. |

I am sad and in a serious dilemma. When I think of
what is happening in my home now and the trauma
my only daughter is putting me through, it makes me
feel like a failure.
But sincerely, deep within me, I did the best I could
and made myself available to my children as much as
I could. Although, one cannot be 100 per cent perfect,
but I can say with all conviction, that I don’t deserve
this. To make it worse, my husband believes that all
that has happened is as a result of my carelessness.
I have always been the parent at home while my
husband’s job as a sales representative takes him out
of town and even out of the country a lot of times.
Despite the fact that my husband travels most of the
time, he makes it a point of duty to provide for our
needs. Also because of the nature of his job, he
advised that I shouldn’t take a paid job, I opened a
supermarket in the shop improvised at home, so my
children; two of them meet me at home whenever
they return from school.
Even if I needed to go out, it is either I go with them,
or the house help will be with them at home.
I have two children, a boy and a girl, the girl is the
eldest and because she is a girl, I make sure I give
her extra attention and I can also say she is her
father’s favourite.
I am not trying to talk too much, but to let you know
that I have really tried my best. Two years ago, my
husband was away to the United States of America
for three weeks. My cousin came to see me for the
weekend and she was the one who called my
attention to my 14-year-old daughter who was then in
Junior Secondary Three. I took a good look at her too
and suspected she was pregnant.
I called and asked her questions, her answers
eventually confirmed my suspicion. I was so
distraught and sad. I confided in my cousin who
called my attention to her condition we put heads
together and decided to get her to abort the
pregnancy which was about four months old.
It was a big trauma for me. I almost went berserk
when she was in the theatre. I couldn’t take her to
our family doctor, because of the fear that he might
eventually tell my husband, we had to go to my
cousin’s family doctor.
When the whole exercise was over, my cousin and
her family doctor advised that we give her a family
planning device, without her knowledge, but I was
against this because I didn’t feel comfortable about it.
More so, I trusted her when she said she was raped
by her cousin when she went to stay the night at her
uncle’s.
I didn’t want to cause a family feud, I decided to keep
quiet about it, but made up my mind that my children
will no longer sleep over at their uncle’s place, no
matter what may happen.
My daughter also pleaded with me to keep this
incident away from her father. I promised that it
would be between us, if she also promised it won’t
happen again.
This incident made us very close and I appreciated
the type of bond which was between us. Several
times, I was tempted to tell my husband, but because
I had given my daughter my word, I didn’t wasn’t to
renege on my words, so I kept it close to my chest
and kept praying for her.
I however, received the shock of my life when my
husband who has been home on leave for a while
asked me to take a good look at my daughter. I was
so scared that I almost passed out.
Even before looking at her, I remembered the
antecedent, and hope it wasn’t happening again, but
low and behold, it has repeated itself. After thorough
investigation and probing, I discovered that my
daughter is six weeks pregnant again!.
I was devastated; this is a girl I keep under my watch
at all times. The only times she goes out without her
brother and I is when she is going to church.
Unfortunately, this happened, right in my house
under my nose.
She told her father and I that her home lesson
teacher impregnated her. He has been dating my
daughter and sleeping with her right inside our
house without anybody’s knowledge.
I am still in shock. The worst thing is that my
husband won’t stop blaming me and accusing me of
been careless. I would have been able to raise my
head, but the fact that I kept the first incident from
him is killing me.
Would confiding in him now not destroy the trust he
has in me.? My pains is doubled, please, what should
I do?. I still can’t even ask what we would do with the
pregnancy.
The home lesson teacher is already in police custody,
but of course this is not sorting out the issue on
ground. Please, help me how do I pacify my
husband? I also feel I have failed him. tribuneonlineng.com/where-did-i-go-wrong-with-my-daughter |
Muslims worship one god and we (Christians) worship one God, but there all similarity ends. Muhammad's 'god' is radically different from God as He is revealed to us by the bible....Muhammad's god is a spiteful, selfish autocrat who must be placated with a monotonous routine of holy motions. The God we worship is a loving, compassionate Father who asks only that we love Him in return...... - Dr Lester Sumrall. |
midolian:I just told you the truth. You don't have to link everything to the past administration. At least as far as I am concerned, PMB has not done any better. Whites showed their disdain towards Africans like they have been doing for ages and you had to blame Jonathan for it? How low can you go? |
Hypocrisy. And you had to drag the former administration into it. The same way the presidential spokesperson issued a statement on behalf of the FG to offer support to France while the people of Yola and Kano only got a "presidential tweet". Nonsense, everything is Jonathan. |
Good To those fools shouting Yorubas should kiss Kwara goodbye, if your heads are intact, you should know those are not Yoruba communities. |
Ok |
donphilopus:It's the same thing as nairabet bah? |
