Legally, is it domestic violence if none of the projectiles he threw connected?

Modified: the guy's cooked.

😂😂😂

Except she’s Mohammed Ali who can really duck, there’s no way one of those projectiles would not have connected .

I was out at a function yesterday but was able to follow the match at intervals on DSTV mobile .

From the little I was able to watch , we didn’t play badly as I had thought prior to the match . Saka coming back was a major boost for us .

Merino seem to be catching up with the pace of the EPL bar for that loose ball he gave away that Salah couldn’t score .

White didn’t do bad in the absence of Saliba at all, it’s just unfortunate Gabriel had to join our ever growing injury list . Timber too gave account of himself in that left back and Salah was almost invisible for most part of the game .

I hope as we are expecting Arteta to give the youth a chance , we also understand why he’s been skeptical about thrusting those youngings into key matches . Skalley came on vs Man city and Loserpool at 2-1 and both matches ended at 2-2 with both opponents working his side of the pitch to get the equalizing goals.

NB: I’m not saying he shouldn’t give the youth a chance , but I can relate to why he’s been skeptical about doing that .

I think Arteta made a huge mistake keeping Jesus and selling Nketiah instead . Also relying on Havertz alone as our top man upfront is not a wise decision at all.

Most people criticized Arteta for starting Partey at RB but ended up praising Partey for his performance in that same RB yesterday . It just shows that a coach may be right at times and may also be wrong at other times . We don’t need to rubbish a coach completely before seeing the rationale behind his decisions .

As for Martinelli , I don’t even know the solution to his problem at all

Theflint1:
Lol, he knows what he's doing, it's a dig at his frenemy SirJ.

That’s pettiness na.

Me sef wan claim SS, So that na you and sodik dem dey point to as the Yoruba Demon abusers

I don’t know how it easy for people to just make that kind of generalization just like that .

Funny thing is by Nigerian standards his own parents are considered to be successful SW people . I wonder if he will be cool if his old man is added to that kind generalization

Theflint1:
Nigeria is the worst place to be a poor man. This Uber driver is in the oppression sphere of the honorable, and he's getting punished, regardless of what the facts of the situation might be...the honorable is in the oppression sphere of other higher ups, and he'd get punished if he steps out of line, and on and on it continues.

Unfortunately this is true .

Ellexy:
Just saw this Twitter.... But will justice be done?

Nigeria is a funny place. The same police that detained the victim and seized his car are now playing to ghe gallery by arresting the perpetrator.

We all know nothing will come out of the arrest. They are only doing this this to calm people down based on the wide outrage the incident has drawn.

Time for Gloriousgbola and Sirj to claim NorthCentral and deny us from the SW like Peter in the bible

Na wa for that egbon o. Does he enjoy getting dragged?

raumdeuter:
Remember the Elisha Senatr from Adamawa wey beat one salesgirl in Abuja, Nothing happened to him

In Nigeria, we are made to oppress others, even the oppressed wont want it to stop so that one day it will be their turn to say "Do you know who I am"

Yes o, I remember that guy. I think it was in a sexxxx toy shop he he even slapped the sales girl.

The guy finished his term in the house of assembly and nothing happened.

I doubt if this one sef will face any serious consequence for the assault. Our institutions are really weak.

I watched the video of the bolt guy narrating what happened after the incident. He was later arrested and kept behind counter in the police station after writing his statement. The IPO went to the honorable's house to invite. When the honorable came he still kept shouting and threatening him in the police presence. The police in their "good judgement" seized the guy's vehicle eventually while the honorable went back home.

Normally if our institutions were strong, the honorable should've been arraigned by now while the guy's vehicle is released to him so he can continue hustling.

So this is the Albino version of Sam Larry that treated to unalive the bolt driver that went to deliver snail to him?

But why do these people always get angry when people don't really know who they are or kowtow to them? 🤷‍♂️

I'm not surprised that another lawyer is violent man.. one of Aunt married a violent lawyer, I think he is even a SAN. Man is abuser, we don do family meetings tire. My aunt refused to be a divorcee

A violent man is a violent man Irrespective of his profession.

raumdeuter:
I was going to say that. Most cars imported to Nigeria won't get on American roads. The permanent check engine light in most tokunbo cars na example

True, but if car yawa gas the resultant kasala can be managed. It's not the same thing for aircraft now.

If aircraft develops fault mid air its death straight and no any ifs or buts

Theflint1:
Safety standards differ, it's not abnormal for aircrafts (and machines in general) listed as scrapped in one country to be resold to another country with more accommodating safety standards, and like you mentioned, decisions to scrap or not can be more economic than even mechanical.

Whatever operational safety standards your company's aircraft have to adhere with, these guys too would have been adhering with them. Choppers are generally clumsy objects, Kobe and Wigwe died in Helicopter accidents...it's possible these NNPC guys died in a Helicopter's that was no less safe than the average Helicopter in Nigeria's airspace.

Baba shey airspace wey dey Canada dey different from Nigerian airspace ni?

If an aircraft fails mid air in Canada and aircraft fails mid air in Nigeria, the two planes will find themselves falling off the sky leaving families mourning. Aviation like Sea transportation is an international business . If u compromise safety standards and a crash results therefrom, It is is an indictment on the regulators.

There was a reason I highlighted the part where it was mentioned that scrapped aircraft are expected to be sold for salvage or dismantled for parts. Such aircrafts should not be ferrying oil workers to an oil facility offshore . No matter how u look at it, this is mess up and an avoidable tragedy

GloriousGbola:
as an aside, actually a lot of cars sold in nigeria should not be sold

a car has a structural frame with crumple zones deigned to absorb the force in a collision. you take a car whose structure has been compromised in an accident and reweld the frame - you are introducing a point of failure.

sit in a mechanic workshop and you will be horrified watching them put salvage cars on the road as confam tokunbo

but you are right. las las if my tokunbo car breaks down on the road it is me and the area boys. if my refurbished tokunbo plane breaks down in the sky it is me and newtons laws of gravity

Just another day in the jungle.

99.9% of Nigerians will do the same if given the same level of power and influence. Practically every Nigerian is a potential oppressor and tyrant.

I have lived in 3 different continents and visited numerous countries, the phrase "Do you know who i am" only appears in Naija lexicon. Oppression DNA dey inside most of us. That is why when a common man become a leader, the oppression is manifested and magnified.

Omo! He literally said he will make the guy disappear and nothing will happen . He even asked him to call IGP say nothing go happen .

Just imagine if that guy becomes a governor of whatever state he comes from , people go surely see shege

Theflint1:
That chopper in no different from your regular foreign used car that insurance has written off but finds use here.

Baba they are totally different !

The company I work with owns an aircraft and I know the kind of safety standards the regulators expect from our company before the allow they aircraft to fly .

A scrapped aircraft is not the same thing as an accidents Tokunbo vehicle that was written off as total loss in Canada or America but ur mechanic here in naija brings back to life .

For starters , when a vehicle is accidents abroad and it is written off as total loss ; it’s solely for the purpose of getting insurance compensation . The vehicle is written off as total loss because the insurers abroad feel repairing the car is not economically reasonable . For example if the market value of the car is $2k and the cost of repairs if like $1.8k , the insurers will just pay u $2k , take over the scrap and sell it at an auction.

Now a sharp Nigerian can buy the car for let’s say $400 ships it down here , have it cleared , have mutiu Mecho bring it back to life , sell it through a dealer as tokunbo and make a reasonable profit as per our exchange rate wahala . The vehicle will still be motorable bar for maybe the airbag that no longer works, engine check light etc.

That is not the same thing with an aircraft or chopper that has been scrapped abroad . A scrapped aircraft means it does not meet the international air safety standard anymore . It should never be in the air. The fact that it’s flying within Nigerian airspace is an indictment on our regulators in the aviation industry .

GloriousGbola:
i was going to add that.

years ago, i was fking around in the company server and i came across pictures of oil and gas ogas at te top at a party with gej. gej was on some sort of throne like chair and he was drunk. everyone has a glass of something, and everyone was laughing and smiling, but gej was clearly the only one not in control of his faculties

the pictures looked like when guys get a girl drunk so they can gang-rape her

i was tempted to download the picture, but i refrained from doing so - because this is the kind of shit that can get you in serious trouble if you splash it on SM. that pic was prime meme material

You did the right thing . If u had splashed the picture son social media , u would have been surprised how the pictures would be traced back to you.

No matter how you hide and cover ur tracks while releasing the picture , if they are motivated enough they will commit all resources to trace it back to you and it certainly won’t end well.

Afrodoc was right , an average Nigerian would oppress his or her fellow Nigerian with any little amount of power at his or her disposal

This is pure oppression and wickedness. 😦 so a Bolt driver went to deliver something to A Politician and this happen just because the driver asked the man to come to the car to pick up his stuff!

for corporate nigeria, reporting is snitching - because 9 times out of 10, everybody hand dey there or has dey there

i saw the equivalent when one office bully in my department was finally reported.
we were all called in to be interviewed
when i went for the interview one of the people i saw was a person who could somehow pass information back to the person reported
i sha went for it and dropped all the info i could
at the end of the day the person reported held his seat, and the person who did the reporting was victimized

and everyone watched it happen. i even heard that one oga at the top was berating our HOD for having people that reported.

i saw a case where an oga was engaging in fraud/diversion and expected those under her to sort it out. her direct report was sacked for nonperformance. the direct eport's replacement was in the same predicament, but played a long game of using third parties to report the oga. even then, management still quashed it. it was because we had a new oyibo oga who had not been nigerianized that the matter finally got traction.

no company wanst negative attention. i am sure you remeber teh case of it shall not be well with them imokuede. when it came out everyone called AIG out, mocked him. the man took the L and went and fortified company email and data protection. and all other naija corps did the same thing. also, AIG fished out the person who leaked the email and had the person sacked.

i am saying -
companies cover up all sorts of nasty shit all the time
companies want people who only pay lip service to the alphabet corporate culture, not mean it
companies are wary of people who show they are whistleblowers

The crazy thing is Aig would not just sack that guy , but would use his influence to ensure the guy never gets employed by any top tier bank in naija again.

Theflint1:
Snitch on top reporting threat to her life in a DV case?

Don’t take my post out of context please 🙏.

I didn’t say that in isolation before some unreasonable people will come now and say I’m making excuse for DV .

I literally gave a context to my post . Nigeria is a country where things are not done right. Nigeria is a country where pastors and family members urge an abused woman to mend fences of her home and not lose her home over allegations of cheating and the husband “asserting his authority with one or two slaps “.

I am not in any way condoning what the man did , I’m only telling you that some of the people that will likely employ her in the future have a lot of skeleton in their cupboards and wouldn’t want to employ a woman they know is willing to build a case with evidence against them if they ever cross the line .

That’s why I said she will surely get jobs in any company that observes global best practices at each point in time. But a company headed by some of our naija CEOs will find a way to avoid employing her .

We don’t have natural disasters in this country , but we have man made disasters 🤦‍♂️

A chopper that was scrapped in 2018 in Canada ends up carrying NNPC officials in 2024 in Nigeria leading to a fatal crash. I would be seriously surprised if heads roll for this avoidable tragedy.

Funny enough I know more of the ikeja outlet than lekki
Because those influencers went to the ikeja GRA more

Me too, it was the Ikeja outlet that caught my attention initially. That was why I was shocked when I messaged them and they denied existence of the Ikeja outlet .

I guess it’s the bitterness that’s still worrying the owner

GloriousGbola:
The sheriff is a useless guy is all I will say. You are looking for capital funding while planning to japa.

You do not inform your partner of this. That on its own is fraudulent and duplicituos to me. A large part of what drives businesses is the principals. Their experience, relationships, skills and connections.

Our business has like all businesses gone through difficult times. My partner got some employment offers. I told him simply, this business cannot run if you or I take up paid employment. It will die.

A partner japaing without notice is the same thing.

The guy is a typical Nigerian start-up guy who believes because they nurtured the business idea and started it , they are allowed to do as they like with the seed capital from investors .

They want to keep spending the company’s money like personal money and don’t want to be questioned for it. They forget once a business moves from being a sole proprietorship , you owe other co-owners explanations about managerial , financial and operational decisions .

A40:
I'm not sure any woman will be happy her husband is having a sidechic. Unless she's also playing away match. I don't know why these men don't follow Niger Delta man playbook and be upfront from the start that you're not a one woman man.

If a riff raff like Portable can be juggling multiple women without stress why are you sneaking around like small pikin. Woman can never respect you with that pattern

It’s the society, the expectation the society places on some of these guys makes them to always want to conform with standards they are not up to.

Everybody wants to be seen as that man with one wife and his beautiful family when in fact he has several sidechics he sees on a regular . Some may even be church workers , deacons and all sorts . They assume those roles but still Dey do their things on things in secret . Na when wife come know gbege go shele and before u know it , things may snowball into DV .

I used to have two neighbors . One upstairs who is 100% streets . He’s lived in the UK wella and na Omo ignore. Then the other one is all these Christ embassy pastor but if you look well u will know he’s a pretender and he Dey do things .

One time the street Egbon was telling me how the Christ embassy guy was always pretending and always doing like na him holy pass when he’s not.

Apparently the Christ embassy guy one day went to a mall with his wife and while he was trying to check out , his wife went to get one or two things off the counter . Na so pastor Dey collect cashier lady number Dey sweet talk her not knowing the wife has returned . That was how the wife created a serious scene there . The embarrassed lady had to be forced to delete the number and spilled out the whole beans that it was the husband that made advances at her o, not like she was trying to collect madam’s husband .

So eventually they left the place . Women being women , she somehow told the street egbon’s wife about the incident . Na so that one take tell the husband say she no know say her own husband even better pass that yeye Christ embassy man wey Dey form holy holy. She said she knows her husband will not disrespect her like that collecting number of a girl right in the mall where they both went to shop.

In my mind I was now like ; why did that man choose to be a Christ embasssy pastor when he could have been a street niggga doing his things ? Now everybody expects some level of decorum from him but he can’t give what he doesn’t have , he just has to keep pretending . Funny enough a friend of mine had told me on 3 different occasions that he saw that Christ embassy man in our house with girls in his car inside their estate . He asked if I’m sure that man is a pastor and I just told him maybe he’s going to counsel the girls .

GloriousGbola:
This is also why I said she may have trouble with employment after this. For the very same reason. You have to be very very careful when reporting wrongdoing in corporate Nigeria and avoid drawing a spotlight to yourself. I have seen multiple instances where ogas at the top squashed obvious cases of blatant theft and corruption.

Forget the company hotline bs, corporate hates whistleblowers.

You are partly right. She won’t get a job in a Nigerian owned company easily for the reason of being viewed as a snitch . You know there are some meeting u will be inside , they will discuss some things you are not really cool with but you don’t have a choice but to separate your conscience from doing your job of listening .

For example she’s HR ; she may be in a meeting where they will be discussing how they need to pay some bribes to the police or a judge to have a case instituted by a staff against her company quashed . As part of your job u are expected to be in that meeting and be down with that management’s decision however unethical it may seem. Now having someone like her in that room will surely make her superiors uneasy cos they wouldn’t know if she’s recording or not.

She will however get job in any international company where they will not judge her based on what happens or has happened in her personal life .

If you are into business that involves partnership or intend to go into one, please read this and learn one or two from it.

I didn’t even know there was trouble in paradise before now. Recently I wanted to a family eat out at a traditional themed restaurant and Ile-Iyan came to my mind. I messaged them on IG to ask about their services , opening/closing time , menu list , etc and I was shocked when I was told they only operate Lekki outlet and don’t have an Ikeja outlet.

In my mind I assumed they probably closed down the Ikeja GRA outlet due to economic hardship and all. Few days later algorithm brought sponsored video of the Ikeja outlet and I was confused . I now discovered the Ikeja outlet was named Ile-Iyan by PODS while the Lekki outlet was named Ile-Iyan . I just guess they are two different outlets owned by two different owners .

It was only when I saw the twitter thread that I fully understood what happened . Apparently they were initially business partners whose business relationship had gone sour and now they are in court slugging it out.

What they couldn't do to sir j, this one will collect wotowoto
He as price market and must pay
He messed up especially working in a company that have lot of females , will he have assault his colleagues too

I do tell people that if a man touches my female relative (either my daughter , sister or any close family relative ) and such man claims it’s because he was provoked ; I will arrange for him few soldiers to take him to barrack and provoke him big time. Now let’s watch how he will react to the soldiers provocation inside guard room.

If the guy can go physical like this with his wife , only good knows the kind of emotional abuse he would’ve subjected some of his subordinates to. He may be one of those managers that will keep lambasting you and making you feel less about yourself just because you make a little mistake in a report .
