The case is definitely going for an Appeal..
The case was diverted and judgement was delivered based on issues that were not the main reasons for taking her to court.
Unless it can be proven beyond any reasonable doubts that: “the presentation of FORGED Certificates (of any sort, for any reason) is not a fraudulent/criminal act”, then she can be absolved and acquitted.

Thank you... But what of those taking advantage of my simple life. Any advice?

Solve “Number-1” first before rushing to solve “Number-2”

Good day everyone..

I'll be 24 next month. The problem now is that am too shy. I don't have confidence. I don't have any girlfriend (am too shy to speak to a lady). You can wrongly accuse me and i will went away crying.

I am the first born of a family of six. A man once accused me of sleeping with his wife (the woman in question senior my mama) and i was like "me ? Me ? Me ? " and I went inside crying.

The only friend i have is my phone. The thing is affecting me seriously. I can't eat in public. I can't insult. I can't even look at your face to talk anything.... I talk alot inside... Am an online keyboard wariorr..

One boy was telling me yesterday to join 'cult' to improve. Though am thinking of it. People take me for a fool. Nairaland is my best website.

Please doctors in the house, is there any drug or medication that i can take to make me overcome shyness ?...

Wrong choices and wrong decisions kept your here at the first place.
And you're about to make more wrong choices.
You're actually considering joining Cult?

Government should always enlighten the citizens and also motivate them to be more keen and eager on the operation, usage, and maintenance of Government Infrastructure Projects.
..
It is one good thing for the Government to develop these infrastructures which are aimed at improving the lives of the citizens.

It is another thing for the citizens to put these infrastructures to good use... - It is not the Government that would use the Infrastructures, rather it's the citizens.
Therefore, the citizens should always be encouraged to take ownership of these infrastructures.

Even though the Government might aid in the early start-off operations and maintenance of the infrastructures, the rest of the routine operation and maintenance of the Infrastructures should be the responsibility of the citizens who are making use of the infrastructures. Except when the costs (or the personnel requirements) of the operation and maintenance are far beyond what the citizens can readily provide for by themselves.

Government can come in again when there is breakdown of the Infrastructures, and there is need for corrective maintenance.
..
Government should always make sure to choose projects which doesn't involve high operation costs (for instance, street-light projects which run on fossil-fuel generators have high operation costs), or high-technicality routine maintenance procedures if they intended the citizens to take full control of such projects.
..
Here Below Are Some Of The Ways That The Citizens Have Failed In Taking Ownership Of The Government Infrastructure Projects In Their Areas.

1. Using drainage channels as waste-bins.
2. Not clearing the drainages and culverts on the stipulated clean-up days.
3. Vandalising transformers, Pipelines, Metal-Bridges
4. Burning Tyres on bitumen-base asphalted roads
5. Not taking proper care of minor hitches on time, or reporting the minor hitches to the appropriate authorities; until the minor hitches escalated into major failures.

Even as this boy small reach,, he must be a “fish” when it comes to swimming.
So, no need to have fear that he might fall off that tiny bridge

The Government of Edo State has taken over the construction of a Federal Constituency Road project in Akoko-Edo Local Government of Edo State which was poorly-executed as seen in a viral online video, IgbereTV reports.

A statement from the Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki reads;

Below is the viral video of the poor road project.

So, because the video went viral naa, abii??
You guys should expect millions of viral videos.
Na una go taaya.

“... The contractor handling the Lawani Crescent project must be arrested for the bad job done and handed over to ICPC and the EFCC, to enable us ascertain exactly what happened ....”

.
.
It shouldn't end there.
All those people involved should be arrested too.
Including the crazy representative.

Now it is official..
Division have started..

Now it is very clear that this summary is highly biased.

Monogamy:
Newspaper speculation...

Then may be we should also swallow the news regarding Yaya Bello , Tinubu and co regarding their presidential ambition

..
Many APC top-members are visiting GEJ and be telling him about the 2023 APC Candidacy.
Yet, the same APC will come out in the open to deny.
That's the usual way they do.
..
Zamfara's Governor's Denial of his defection comes to mind.

Monogamy:
Where did you get the gist from now? Simple question..

Something that is happening right in front of us, you're expecting me to call the name of a newspaper.??
..
Oya naa..
Here you go..

DMerciful:
So the money being siphoned under Bubu, what's he doing about it?

In that case, he is weak too.

Monogamy:
Where have you been hearing that from?

Beer parlor gist?

Dey there..
A lot of things are happening in your party, and you're there drinking garri

Ikwereanlion:
That guy will bring unity

So, if he enters APC, he will become a saint all of a sudden?

damosky12:
What exactly is that thing that makes GEJ a "weak" president?

People around him were busy siphoning funds under his nose.
He couldn't do anything about it.
Just because he didn't want to hurt them.
..
I mean...
What type of weakness is that?
If he even dared to say that he didn't know about it, then I would say that he is even weaker.
Something that was bare for everybody to see at the time it was happening.

Workch:
u still require 2/3

In that case, there must be properly counted voting process..
And not the case of “The Eyes Have It”.

OBALOLA55:
ARE YOU THAT DUMB WE ARE ASKING FOR EITHER RESTRUCTURING OR REFERENDUM FOR FVCK SAKE.


WHAT ELECTORAL ACT

THEN GO COLLECT ALL OF THEM FROM WHEREVER YOU LIKE...
MISTA-NO-DUMB..!!

ONLY IF YOU KNEW THAT THE SAME INEC WOULD STILL BE THE ONES TO CONDUCT THE NONSENSE REFERENDUM IF IT GETS APPROVED..

bjdon:
No perm friend or enemy in politics perm interests. There are some in the North who feel GEJ is a 'safe bet' They can say power has returned to the south, knowing it will only be for 4 years as GEJ can only run for 1 more term. Its a strategic move from them. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

But for those Northern strategists,, history may not judge them well ooo..
Because, the reasons they gave against GEJ will still come back to haunt them when GEJ gets back there.
GEJ was definitely a weak president.
I for one, I wouldn't want him there again.
(Even though he is better than Buhari, but I wouldn't want his weak ass there again).

Okoroawusa:
God forbid bad thing...man wey him wife dey control?

Dey There.
Soapy-water go soon enter your eyes.

budaatum:
If everyone else dies, then perhaps GEJ could become President APC, but I wonder if he'd agree to that since everyone else would have to be dead in APC.

Dey there..
You will be alive and see it happening.
And he will feebly accept.
The GEJ of a guy is not a strong-willed human being.
So, he will totally surprise you with his softly attitude.

Vee423:
what would make buhari stop being a terrorist

Read the post again mista-man

nwaUrasi:
Government will not accept results snapped and posted in social media handles by individuals.

Go And Get Better Informed..
You Sound Stupid Here.

I've been hearing about the APC’s plan to make GEJ the Presidential Candidate for the upcoming 2023 Presidential Election..
But I don't want to believe it.
...
But recently, I continued hearing about the plan over-and-over-again.
..
I started wondering what would ever make APC to consider such a crazy option.
..
The same GEJ that they labelled Clueless, and they said that he is Fantastically Corrupt.
They painted him as the devil with long horns and with bloodied teeth.
..
I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND OOO.!!

iwaeda:
It will still come to nay and yea!

It's time they start putting their proceedings to proper voting..
The Era Of “Eiyes” and “Nays” is totally over

Lalasticlala..
Seun..

Esseite:
It's time to start counting "yes" and "nays" in that assembly, alongside whom they originated from. The assembly members were elected publicly, their opinions should be made public aswell in real time.

Honestly..
The Era of “The Eyes Have It” is over.

The Fire Is On..
The Heat On Them Will Not Let Them Go Ahead With Their Evil Plans.
