The landlord is responsible. It's not the tenant's house to make changes to the structure without the landlord's permission.

Biodun556:
If inflation is relegating government revenue. It is normal for government to look inward. That was why they increased VAT and custom duties and this is the result

Yes government has to tax more to stay afloat due to their monetary policy. They should take credit for their fiscal and monetary policies. Assuming the Inflation rate is 10% you have to earn 10% more just to maintain current standard.

jimyjames:
The value of 400 billion in 2014 it's almost the same with the value of 900 billion in 2023

Lol, good catch always adjusts for inflation. Nominal numbers can easily fool people.

“So, if you say it is optional, people may think it is not serious. They would make it optional and they would be reluctant to go. But if you make it compulsory, definitely everybody would go and at least discover something outside his domain.”

What a horrible idea giving people free choice on who and when to associate. It should be up to busybodies in the government to make that decision. It's not like colleges, work and vacations give opportunities to meet people outside of your domain.

Must they do European wedding?

Must you complain in a European language?

NothingDoMe:
Oh. Penalty for armed robbery is death in Lagos? Cool.

You're crying about this issue without knowing the laws? Weird.

BarrElChapo:
Section 294 and 295 of the Lagos State Criminal Law 2011,
“any person who steals anything and uses or threatens to use actual violence to retain the thing stolen or to prevent or overcome resistance to its being stolen or retained, is said to be guilty of robbery. And anyone who commits the offence of robbery shall on conviction be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than twenty-one years, When the person is particularly armed with firearms or offensive weapons or any obnoxious and chemical materials, such offender shall be sentenced to death.”

Partner even the State of Mississippi is saying Wtf. Just for stealing the equivalent of $60. Aggravated Assault with malicious death is 7 years served 4yrs and 3 years parole. Gotta be that time of the month for that female judge. Goddammit

Lol, don't be a robber in Lagos they won't show you mercy. Cry to your Lagos state representatives if you disagree with the laws. If you're not from Lagos advertise to the robbers so they move to your state because you have better laws.

Doyou2019:
Somehow those yeye Governors have convinced each other that they could avoid going to hell by passing off signature of death warrants
Awon oniyeye.

I dislike them obstructing the law. If they don't believe in the death penalty they should seek to change the laws. The victims deserve to see justice carried out. I think that power should be stripped from them since they're not interested in doing their jobs.

NothingDoMe:
You send someone to death because they pointed a pair of scissors at you? People for don die finish for Nigeria na

Lol, don't be a robber in Lagos they won't show you mercy. Cry to your Lagos state representatives if you disagree with the laws.

DMerciful:
But repentant terrorists are been released and rehabilitated. You see why this country is on her knees?

Armed robbery but the victim wasn't killed. What a joke of a country where certain people are released for killing thousands while someone is condemned to hanging for beer money. Is the auditor general that stole over 90 billion sentenced?

OK now you're shifting the goalpost because you were exposed on your first lie. Next time read past the headline if you want to understand what's going on. If you disagree with the judgement or policies thats your business. Instead if assuming to know my positions you can simply ask instead arguing blindly. It seems you just want to rant and argue with someone today out of boredom.

Lol I don't agree with death sentence if nobody was murdered in a robbery. I also don't agree with these sweetheart deal for the terrorist.
Your whataboutisms don't make this guy any less guilty of his crimes. If you want laws changed petition your Lagos state representatives.

BATified2023:
guy there are many of them

I am giving u first hand info, ok let’s just agree u don’t believe me…. There’s one video of a guy on Facebook, he was sentenced to death in 1996 n luckily he was not killed till it was changed to life imprisonment then presidential pardon


Go n watch d video n hear life experience

You provide the link and names. I asked you to supply the evidence. I didn't call you a liar. The vast majority of death row inmates are alive in Nigerian prisons.

DMerciful:
You're arguing blindly. Why will a judge sentence someone to death for just stealing 57k?

You're arguing blindly I didn't comment on the merits of the judgment. Nice try attacking a strawman. He was sentenced to death for an armed robbery. This isn't about the Naira amount he stole.

“The defendant had stated that the complainant pointed at him as one of the boys armed with a pair of scissors and forcefully snatched her bag containing N57,000 at Akesan Bus Stop.

BATified2023:
forget that one

They will kill him on a low

My mom once worked at ilesha prisons

Forget all those signing of death warrant

Name five people you know who were murdered on the low, please. Call your mom if you can't do it from memory. These guys will live on death row essentially serving a life sentence with the physiological torture of knowing their life is over at any moment.

PrinceOfLagos:
One law for the rich, another law for the poor

When is the last time a governor signed a death warrant? Every week read about the sentence but you never read about the execution being carried out.

“The defendant had stated that the complainant pointed at him as one of the boys armed with a pair of scissors and forcefully snatched her bag containing N57,000 at Akesan Bus Stop.

ednut1:
funded by state government, who get money from federal government

The allocation the state receives isn't the federal government's. If you want traditional institutions gone the state government disband or reorganize them. The state legislature has that power as was seen with the Kano emirates being split. Again good luck on your mission.

ednut1:
High time we scrap these monarchs. Waste of public funds and problems

More power to you start the campaign where you live. I'm not sure if any of these institutions are funded by the federal government. You can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Thinkam:
Would you believe the polls in an analog country like Nigeria?

Open your eyes

You're talking like polling was inaccurate before going digital. What difference would it make in Nigeria besides how you reach participants?

OK, who's conducting the polls in Nigeria? I don't know of any polling firms besides NOIPolls. I also like betting as an indicator since people who have a financial incentive to be right won't lie.

SugarGirl44:
So are we practicing federalism now for the country to have 2 different laws?

No there is no contradiction. Under federalism, lower tiers of government are allowed to set up their laws and regulations as long as it doesn't violate the constitution. This is why laws and regulations are different when you go from state to state. An example where this isn't true in my opinion is Sharia blasphemy laws because it violates religious freedom. We'll see if I'm correct on that one when it gets to the Supreme Court.

SugarGirl44:
One country shouldn’t be using 2 different laws.

SugarGirl44:
Run away bawo? I was giving you details ni.

Of course federalism is better than unitary government, but self determination is the best.

When your details don't answer the question it's a diversion. The self-determination point has little to do with the first point you made. If you agree with Federalism why are you saying states shouldn't make their laws? You seem to contradict yourself unless you can cite what right is violated or exclusive federal power is infringed under the constitution.

SugarGirl44:
Which one is anymore?
Have we had a discussion about it before?
Nigeria was never meant to be one, it’s a failed colonial project.
We all have our people outside Nigeria;
Yorubas are in Benin,
Hausas are in Niger and co
Igbos are in Garbon or so.

The slave masters did a crazy job of separating people who should and merging those who should be apart, for their evil of divide and rule.
I pray it gets corrected in my lifetime, amen.

You're running away from the question. Do you not like Federalism. Your opinion on those other issues don't answer the basic question I asked you. Try to stay on topic if you're able to.

Meti99:
You guys keep amusing me...
Is the north not part of Nigeria..?

Is the Constitution of Nigeria not Superior to any other law?

The man should redress any judgement in a mainstream NIGERIA's law court...

Else
This is more reason why Nigeria must return to TRUE FEDERALISM where every region should determine their law

Have you taken a civics class before? What you're witnessing is federalism in practice. What's unconstitutional about what's going on?Is this an exclusive power under the federal government or violate some right? If you brlieve so cite which one you're referring to. Federalism allows states to make different laws.

SugarGirl44:
That’s why we need to separate.
One country shouldn’t be using 2 different laws.

You don't like federalism anymore?

Wickedfact:
They will use her as prosecution witness. Ordinarily, if it was under Sharia law, they're both in soup.

Lol, she's taking a deal as an accomplice. Being a snitch for the prosecution doesn't absolve anyone from a crime ordinarily. Hope she has text messages. If she doesn't nothing is proving he knew she was married.

Wickedfact:
Adultery is a crime, Bigamy isn't.

Why isn't the woman under arrest? Is she not a criminal under those same laws?

yomi007k:
The crime here is denying the 7 months pregnancy.


...except you want to raise the child.

fcbelle72:
...
His crimes is that he denied the pregnant wanted to abound the woman, can you imagine such rubbish

Lol, it's not a crime to deny a kid. Lol did she prove it's his with a paternity test? It could be her husband's. She wants us to believe she is willing to cheat on her husband but not sleep with both of them within the same month.

Wickedfact:
Adultery is a crime in the North.

Then why is she not under arrest. She knew she was married before getting her cheeks clapped? How is she a victim under the law?

Reports from the town said the man is known for deceiving women, including married ones, telling them if he slept with them he will give them charms that would prevent their husbands from adding wives and also have control over them.

Lol, what crime was committed here? Did he not supply the magic charms? That sounds like a civil issue. Did he lie about having magic powers? How do we prove magic is real, to begin with?

mine85:
if fuelsubsidy is removed, can someone tell us how much will will fuel sell?

My guess is the West African Average is. Lol it's hilarious the Rich Nigerian are scared to pay what "ordinary" Niger republic, Benin Republic or Cameroon pays daily.

A report by the government of Equatorial Guinea on October 17, 2022 was issued, advising undocumented foreigners in their country to leave voluntarily or face government sanction.

Lol when they start deporting illegals up nobody should start crying crocodile tears.

The Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has advised Nigerians living in Equatorial Guinea to renew their permits if possible, or apply to come back home to Nigeria if undocumented, to avoid sanctions by the government of Equatorial Guinea.

According to a letter from the office of Nigeria’s Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the African country has warned all undocumented foreigners to “voluntarily leave the country or face deportation.”

Following this threat of sanctions by the authorities in the country, NIDCOM issued a statement yesterday through its head of media, public relations and protocol unit, Abdur -Rahman Balogun, warning Nigerians living in the country of the impending danger if they refused to abide by the country’s directive.

Part of the statement read, “A report by the government of Equatorial Guinea on October 17, 2022 was issued, advising undocumented foreigners in their country to leave voluntarily or face government sanction.

“According to the report, this is aimed at curbing elements of sabotage and creating stability in the country of Equatorial Guinea. The letter also stated that obtaining a one or two-year residence permit by foreigners goes between $410 and $620.

“As a commission committed to the welfare of its citizens, we advise that Nigerians in Equatorial Guinea should renew their permit if possible, or apply to come back home to Nigeria, if undocumented, to avoid sanctions by the government of Equatorial Guinea.”
