Except she gets a soft landing, then she's a goner. She ought to have sent the president an initial memo before discussing verbally with him. The president can only take action on the matter based on a memo filed before him.

Madam Oyo-Ita ought to ha e known better as an FCA. In accounting, no matter the complexity of the software being used, there must always be a paper trail for reference purposes

We are in trouble in this country shaaaa. Dishes expect the president to say go and sack or dismiss him without a formal memo? Or was she waiting for the president to tell her to file a memo to that effect?

No more grazing in Benue as from Wednesday, Ortom declares

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.
John Charles, Makurdi

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has declared that open grazing is now forbidden in the state following the passage of the law in May 2017.

In a broadcast made to the people of the state early Wednesday, the governor said, “Let me appeal to all citizens to be law abiding; no one should take law into his hands. We have put adequate machinery to enforce the law.”

Our correspondent who went round Makurdi reported that some parts of the capital city were calm; but a visit to international cattle market at north bank area of the capital city showed tense atmosphere.


Cattle within the market were restricted to the ranch, while some cows which showed signs of fatigue were down.

Speaking to our correspondent, the secretary, Cattle Dealers Association, Garuba Mohammad, described the situation as “hard time,” expressing fear that the new law would run them out of business.

He noted that their cattle, before Wednesday, used to graze within two kilometers to the abattoir; adding that they had been forced to restrict movement of their cows due to the presence of vigilante groups scattered around their routes.

“If you look round, you will see that some of the cows are lying down. It is because of lack of food and water. Vigilante groups have been stationed on all our routes, even to the stream down the fence. We cannot go there because we have been warned not to go beyond the fence of the abattoir.”

Mohammad said the 72 members of the association at north bank have over 3,000 cows and expressed fear that most of the cows might die in the next few days.

He called on the state government to provide the needed facilities within the abattoir, such as water and grass; adding that if the state government fails to assist, they might be forced to move out of the state.

Chairman, Joint Task Force on the enforcement of the anti open grazing law, Col. Edward Jando (rtd.), said the vigilante group was only performing its duty.

This man tall sha...

In my own opinion I think your wife did not answer the following questions satisfactorily

VO- How will you survive when your husband is not working
me- He is on a teaching assistantship with stipends. (My i-20 shows that I have suuficient funding for 1 year)
My Thought : see the last one


VO- How long are we married
me- 3 months ago
My Thought: The VO believed 3 months is too short for you to have requested to join your husband or apply for a visa dependent on him. Wait like a year before applying



VO- What will you be doing when you get there
me- vocational activity
VO- like what
me- swimming and cooking
My Thought: You made it too obvious you are dependent on your husband and you have no ties to your home country which means you both have no plans to return back home. Another angle may be the mode of deposits into the account you presented. VO will ask, so if your husband is out of job for 1 year and half, you can only survive 1 year.

rajkuman:
Please naairalanders, I need your insight on this. My wife was denied F-2 visa today.
Can someone help us to identify what went wrong.

VO- Hello
me- Hi
VO- What are you going to US to do
me- I am going to meet my husband
VO- who are you going with?
me- I'm going alone
VO- where did your husband obtained his passport
me- lagos
VO- what is your husband date of birth
me- 10 Sept 198X
VO- How will you survive when your husband is not working
me- He is on a teaching assistantship with stipends. (My i-20 shows that I have suuficient funding for 1 year)
VO- How long are we married
me- 3 months ago
VO- What will you be doing when you get there
me- vocational activity
VO- like what
me- swimming and cooking
VO- have you done any interview before
me- no
VO- why did you change your interview to Abuja
me- because my I-20 did not arrive early and I lost the early date I have in Abuja
VO- Sorry you did not meet the requirement

Too obvious she likes them hunky

blah blah blah bye, run along

Dummy just like you right? Since you've refused to think intelligently. What I intended by the comparison is that no matter the age, the older man would still be deemed wiser than the younger one. You're an idiot too you know? Look in the mirror you will see written all over you!

TimeMod3:
Yet another dummy.
16 & 27, 27 & 37 (afterall the age difference is 11 ) wow! what an analogy!
With idiots like you, younger kids are in for it.

I won't say more... fighting a mad man would make me look like one! I pray you get a daughter so you can advise her on getting abortions. Nansense

selflessmaya:
stfu, u can dish it, but u sure cant take it. so far there is no link to a successful abortion to life-long depression and i have done multiple comprehensive study on depression and the factors that can trigger it, take it how u want. almost every woman who has had a safe abortion is glad that she did, the ones who have regrets are mostly the ones who got botched cos they got unsafe abortions which is why i placed a lot of emphasis on safe abortions. abortion is not swallowing postinor, postinor can only work before implantation phase, abortion is taking Mifepristone and Misoprostol pills and wait for your period to start, u're probably ancient so when u hear abortion u think of the emotionally scarring process women endured in the early to late 2000s where hangers where used on them, that is illegal and can cause the physical and psychological damage u speak of. in 2017, there are pills designed to block the production of progesterone and in a matter of 1 hr, the pregnancy ends, a pill she can take and put on sanitary pad and just have another menses and it's over.
if she's ripe for abortion at 16, she's ripe for marriage and motherhood u say? it's so hard to insult u cos u insult yourself too much already. an abortion takes 2 pills & 30mins... pregnancy and motherhood takes the rest of her life. dont be silly! mrs idiot

Someone would be sacked soon

You're the one high up on cheap narcotics and a biggest idiot on NL this morning for thinking aborting a baby is the best option in this case. If your mum had aborted you, you won't be here arguing blindly would you?

Do you even understand the emotional implications of abortion? Do you know she can be depressed for the rest of her life? Do you know it can lead her into hating men all the rest of her life?

You just wake up and spill out anything for the sake of commenting. If you think she's ripe for abortion at 16 years old, she as well is ready for marriage or giving birth at 16 years.

Abortion is not all about swallowing postinor tablets.... It is much more than that.

Final warning, don't you ever insult me again if you don't want to see my bad side! Have a good day Mr Abortionist

selflessmaya:
who says he should drug her and abort the pregnancy? do u honestly think a 16 year old wouldnt wish to not be pregnant? if u want to throw around pro-choice, if the sister does have the kid, is she capable of raising it without his contributions? she really has no choice and is very dependent on what the potential caretakers of the child will decide. if nigerian families can beat a pregnant girl and talk hell into her about how the pregnancy will go, then a family can save the beating and be as level headed as possible and talk to a 16 yr old CHILD about why they feel an abortion is the best course and get her to see reason. most pregnant 16 yr old nigerians will pray for a family that can even let them have that option so let's not pretend nigeria is the uk where teenagers "wanna keep the baby".
if OP wants the pregnancy to stay, it will stay whether she likes it or not, if he wants it gone, it will be gone too, if he wants her married at 16, she has no choice. in nigerian society, the pro-choice ish does not exist for most women and i'm not stupid enough to delude myself like most ppl here. families mostly make the decision and for once a man is here trying to make what any sensible person knows is the right choice, a choice that most ppl who feel trapped like his sister would secretly want. and we should leave it to his kid sister? in this country? where she gets no choice in the first place? he could have married her off, he could let her have the pregnancy as a punishment but he's considering letting her walk scottfree from all this, i am a huge advocate of pro-choice and how a woman should have sole decision but sometimes i have to remember i'm dealing with nigerians and head straight to the point. my main argument with abortion is it's a woman's body, choice etc. but this is an important issue and this is no time to start trying to state laws of feminism.
the case is simple: a girl who gets no choice in most families has a brother who wants to give her an option that most girls in her shoes would kill to have. if she's getting this option cos he wants to save face, not cos it's her body etc, it's none of my business, it still benefits everybody, a 16 yr old will be more grateful in 4 yrs time if she terminates this pregnancy than if she keeps it. 95% of women who have had a safe abortion dont regret it, they're thankful for that chance of escape everyday.



u must be high on some narcotic if u think i'll argue with someone who just compared a 16yr old child to a 27yr old adult. why didnt u also say, it's not such a big deal if a 20 yr old man has sex with a 9 yr old, it's same 11 yr difference. you're the idiot and it shows . lol

You must be mad! She has every right to her body and how she wants it to be used forget the age. What is your business in a 16 year old marrying 27 years old? 11years difference? Would you accept for a 27 year old girl to marry a 38 year old man? Still 11 years difference!

God is wonderful and every Knowing that is why he made pregnancy at any age possible, don't try to play God! You don't know her destiny.

It is people like you who have cajoled a lot of women into remaining unmarried past their prime. Idiot

selflessmaya:
dude, take this advice and run with it. get your sister a safe abortion, test her for stds and warn her seriously about unprotected sex and let her carry on with her life, she's only 16 years old, do not let your 16 year old sister marry a dude that is almost 30 that had the guts to sleep with her without protection, exposing her to potential stds and who eventually got her pregnant. ignore all these ppl here, life is not black and white. not every pregnancy is a blessing. yes, your instincts are right to tell you that this pregnancy will cause your sister & family a lot of future unhappiness, either by sentencing her to the drama of early single motherhood or trapping her in an early unhappy marriage.

all this can be over in just 15 minutes for god's sake, don't let strangers on the internet convince u to drag it out for the next 9 months and be stuck with an unwanted child for the rest of its life. a lot could go wrong for your family. your mom's insensitivity is common with ppl of her times, ignore her. your sister could contact vvf, she could die at childbirth, she could carry this to full term and have to get ceserean section to extract a stillborn after all the stress (i know a girl this happened to, married for belle, gave birth to a still born, stuck with a god-awful c-section scar, got a divorce shortly after) and let's not even talk of the psychological trauma & embarassment if she does have the kid, do u really want to raise that one sister that never goes away, that has had a hard life, that has 2 failed marriages and 4 kids from 3 different fathers, who has to come live in your house every 3 months cos of her endless woes? this is how it starts, u are on the right track.

tell whoever cares to ask, she suffered a miscarriage or she wasnt pregnant, it's common for girls her age to miss periods, fullstop. u can have your sister back where she was, writing jamb in march and going to get a life, do the right thing. pretentious nigerians have ruined so many lives with their illogical opinions, ask yourself which advice will benefit u more 5 months from now, your teenage sister totting around a full gut of child or her as she's always been standing on a line to buy jamb form. think!! sometimes ppl have to make very tough decisions, choose your sister & family stability over this unwanted issue that everyone is trying to convince u is a blessing, yet u & i both know it isnt a blessing and those trying to convince u it is a blessing also know it's a lie cos none of them will wish to be in your shoes.

i'm pro-choice but even i know that most life choices are restricted from minors cos they cant quite grasp consequence, that's why they dont marry, vote, perform sex-change surgery, anything life-altering is best left to a guardian with good intentions. the abortion has nothing to do with the 27 yr old perv, it's not his decision. this is primarily your sister's decision but she's too young to decide this tbh and since you're thinking rightly, do the right thing. follow your instincts, terminate the pregnancy.

Unfortunately, you didn't mention anything about your father.... Let me assume he's late. Having sex with a 16 year old should be be statutory rape I think?

Back to the matter, best advise I would give you is support your sister as much as you can. Give her all the love you can muster and let her deliver her baby safely.

Aiding and abetting an abortion for her would hurt her emotionally for life. It might even lead to her death or other health complications in the future. Don't try it.

Besides that, if you lead her to abort, trust me by the time she clocks 23-25 (their enfant terrible age) she must have gone through 10 more abortions and living a terrible life.

Your mother is learned that's why she insisted on her delivering to learn a lesson but then she too is a mother... She cannot throw away her daughter in times like this, she will support her.

As for school, she still has a lot time ahead of her. She can also learn a trade or study online. Trust me girls like her end up with the brightest future.

Please allow her to deliver safely. Forget about whatever useless thought of shame to the family you're harboring, who was there for your family when you guys needed them? Think wisely

Skipuru:
A guy of 27 years old impregnated my 16 years old sister mean while she's about to write her waec next year.
I called the guy on phone and he said he's ready to take responsibility of the girl and she will marry her , but me I don't like it that way because she's too small to bear a child and I don't want that to happen to my sister because she's the only girl in my family.
Now the question is I want her to abort the child and focus on her education but the guy said he ready and my mom called me and said that my sister said if anything should happen to her that it's on our head.
Please I want you to post it so I can hear people's opinions on this so I can know the right thing to do because I'm I'm going crazy.

Please I need a good advice on how to follow this matter. My mom want her to suffer so she can learn her lesson but me she will bring shame to me and my family. I'm just a boy of 22 years old still on the street.

Poison her? Idiot like you

Skipuru:
. I left them since 2014 now I'm going crazy. I want to poison her self.

How did the person recording the video anticipate what was going to happen before recording? People these days just want to trend

She most probably have been chopping the man's money while going to f@ck other men. No rape victim in this country would allow their pictures to be taken while reporting the incident and posted to SM. She just de play the victim card.

Hmm maybe. No worries at all

Hmmmm ....relocating to Lagos without a job or a business at hand won't be advisable except you want to part-take in the traffic hold-up businesses

With your 600k, renting a house would consume more than half depending on the area you chose though - Mainland seem relatively cheaper and the outskirt of Lagos (closer to or in Ogun State) is even much cheaper but then transportation would be a kill. On the Island, its even much expensive ....a room apartment may go for between 250k to 600k.

My advise are as follows:-

1. Decide on what business you're bringing into Lagos first before making the move
2. Get info on the areas such business would throve most
3. Based on 1 and 2 above, get info on the best location to reside - Do not reside far away from your business location and do not locate your business in an area where you won't get visibility.
4. Try and get contacts in Lagos to advise you and be your close support group
5. Try as much as possible to avoid mixing with miscreants or indulging in illegalities

BTW ...no area in Lagos is 100%, you can only hope for the best in God's protection. I hope this helps.

TalkItalk:
Some stakeholders in the aviation sector, including members of the National Assembly, are worried that investors from some Middle East countries are expressing interest in the planned concession of Nigerian airports.


It was learnt that the interests thus far received from countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are bothering the stakeholders because of the security implication for Nigeria and alleged “northern agenda” currently put forward either by coincidence or deliberately in the concession buildup.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) recently granted approval for the concession of the four international airports in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano. The approval, currently being worked out by the Ministry of Aviation, is the first phase of the plan to concession all the 22 Federal Government-owned airports nationwide.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, last week recounted the gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to Turkey and among the mentioned is the expression of interest by Turkish investors.
Besides Turkey, Saudi and Qatari investors have also shown interest in the multi-million dollar concession arrangement.At one of the public hearings held last Thursday, members of the National Assembly joint committee on aviation got worried about the antecedent of a country like Turkey that has lately been embroiled in political unrest, as well as serving as a channel through which arms and ammunition were smuggled into Nigeria.
While the Turkish authorities have denied having a hand in the arms-trafficking saga, aviation experts are wary of future transactions with investors with Turkish interests.
A member of a civil society organisation, who was at the hearing, said some lawmakers were of the view that if the biddings were restricted to the middle east, then it will not get the buy-in of Nigerians who “will see it as coloured by a northern and religious agenda.”
Aviation union members present at the meeting said it was to prevent the airports from falling into the wrong hands that they demanded to be part of the concession process for transparency. The unions were, however, happy that the Federal Government has promised to ensure transparency by involving them.
On the implication of such concerns for the concession plan, aviation security consultant, Group Capt. John Ojikutu (rtd), said he was as disturbed as the lawmakers, though he was quick to add that it was still early to conclude.
Ojikutu said that “whereas we cannot but be skeptical with the biddings, expression of interest is also coming from Europe and Canada, and all need to be patient.”
He said from his conversation with the Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, there were several hurdles in the concession process and it was less likely that the wrong bidders would be able to grab a pie in the exercise.

Ojikutu, who is also the Secretary General of the Aviation Safety Round Table Initiative (ASRTI), said: “I am as worried as you, no doubt about that. The National Assembly is also as worried. I think, from what I’ve heard, the minister too is very cautious with what he is doing. Just the way he handled the Abuja airport’s runway is the way he is handling this.

“From the look of things now, they have not left the level of getting the consultants of about three or four to package things together. When they get to that stage, there must be a stakeholders’ meeting, and there would be. It is not only the concession, but also the national carrier, maintenance facility and aerotropolis that are being packaged.
“So, it is too early to start speculating because in any case, all these things will still have to go through the infrastructure concession commission, the PPP, Ministry of Justice and then the Federal Executive Council for approval.

“But in lieu of the security concerns, I have advised them to focus on concession of the terminals, cargo sections and car parks among others, but not the aeronautical side. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has even warned African countries since 2009 not to concession aeronautical side in the light of security issues around us,” Ojikutu said.

Nkemakonam62:
The chairman of the Lagos State Task Force, Superintendent of Police (SP), Olayinka Egbeyemi yesterday said they will commence the enforcement of the Lagos State Road Traffic Laws of 2012 on motorcycle operators plying restricted routes across the state.

He revealed this to journalist while reacting to an incident that occurred around Mile 2 area where a sister agency aided miscreants and hoodlums.

Egdbeyemi, said the enforcement had earlier occurred in previous day when security operatives of the agency invaded 2nd Rainbow along Mile 2 area including Festac and impounded163 motorcycles with 29 riders arrested

He said, “There must be a synergy between all security agencies of government in order to collectively fight the menace of these motorcycle operators on all restricted routes across the state.

“There were series of complaints from members of the public on criminal activities perpetuated by some of these motorcycle operators.

“Complaints by the residents of snatching of bags, phones, wallets and jewelries around these areas at night are on rampage.”

He advised members of the public to desist from patronizing commercial motorcycle operators on restricted routes as anyone arrested will be prosecuted in accordance with the Law.

He added that, the Lagos State commissioner of Police, CP Edgal Imohimi has directed the 29 arrested motorcycle operators be immediately charge to court for prosecutions.
