This arrest will amount to nothing if the case is not pursued to the end. Except they've already done so, this media revelation may impede further investigation to unravel the colossus of this syndicate. May God guide our leaders right.

To be frank, not much will change in the nation if we don't do anything to effect a change in NASS. I hope everyone noticed how no opposition party is raising any eyebrow on this development. All parties, regions and religions are all in alignment. God guide our leaders right.

Believe me. I used to think like this until my phone was stolen twice in my pocket within a space of two years. My phone is always in my hand everywhere I go now.

Congratulations. You are already an inspiration to many. Keep breaking barriers and keep soaring.

This man mumu never do

Angels from the shit hole?

KOK has really done well for himself. He further reiterated the comon saying that- it's never too late. With the dogged determination and of course reasonable amount of necessary resources, you can soar. I won't be surprised if he vies for the seat of Imo house of assembly in few years time.

For all saying the guy shouldn't have laid his hands on her, take another perspective of the whole issue. What if this girl has put up this kind of drama before, and she was left untouched because she's a female. She got hailed by her friends and she thought it's the way to go with everyone that steps on her toes. What if the guy's actions has helped her avert a greater humiliation in the future, provided she learnt her lesson. Not everyone has that lazy temper to condone discourteousness.

Freestainworld:
Mr op, your write up is as sweet as horney, pleasant to the ear but misleading, no matter how you want to view sex, the truth is that, it is meant for married couples, not even for courtship people, don't justify a sin out of ignorance, if everyone should get married as a virgin, believe me, the sexual relationship in marriages will last, and the marriage sustained, but because we have tasted every dick and Tom, and every pussycat, that is why it becomes a problem, rethink again

Great man. You brought @bold straight out of my thoughts.
Besides, my question to the op is HOW MANY/MUCH WATER SHOULD WE TEST BEFORE WE GET OUR DESIRED? 10, 2O,...50,100 or as many/much as we can.

How will the op feel if his sister (supposing he has one) tells him about 20 men had sampled her and dumped her in the name of not being sexually compatible.

All I can deduce from ElRufia's and Ogbeni's submission is that if A=B and B=C, then it's safe to say A=C.

Never ever fight a man/women for an affair with your spouse. For cheating to occur in a relationship, there is an existing problem. If the problem can't be resolved, just call it a quit. Far better than becoming a muderer. If me catch my partner red handed, the man will go jejely and no amount of begging can make the woman stay.

There have been lots of cases whereby after serving for years they find out the accused was actually innocent

Can they then undo the castration

I think the law became necessary to make because of those who have repeatedly and evidently been caught in committing the heinous crime.

In the state of Alabama, certain types of sex offenders like pedophiles will now be chemically castrated by law before they are given parole. The legislation was signed into law by Alabama’s governor Kay Ivey, and will apply to all sex offenders who are convicted of crimes against children younger than 13.

For these offenders, chemicals will be used that will reduce their libido, and hopefully the likelihood of them repeating their crimes. Critics of the bill said that it was unconstitutional, claiming that it violates a person’s right to freedom from “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Attorney Raymond Johnson says the point of contention is the fact that this is happening once people have already paid their debt to society.

“They’re going to challenge it under the 8th Amendment Constitution. They’re going to claim that it is cruel and unusual punishment for someone who has served their time and for the rest of their life have to be castrated,” Johnson said.

The bill was initially introduced by Republican congressman Steve Hurst, who recently told CBS42 that the punishment fits the crime.
"I had people call me in the past when I introduced it and said don’t you think this is inhumane? I asked them what’s more inhumane than when you take a little infant child, and you sexually molest that infant child when the child cannot defend themselves or get away, and they have to go through all the things they have to go through. If you want to talk about inhumane – that’s inhumane. If we do something of this nature it would deter something like this happening again in Alabama and maybe reduce the numbers,” Hurst said.

This is a practice that is actually not legal throughout most of the United States. There are only 8 states that currently allow chemical or surgical castration for extreme sex offenders, but even in these states, it is rarely ever actually used. Under Alabama’s new laws, this would be happening to every prisoner that fit the criteria, by law.

In 1996, California became the first state to pass a law allowing for chemical castration of certain sex offenders. In the years that followed, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Montana, Oregon, and Washington also passed similar laws.

However, as previously mentioned, the guidelines in most of these states are very loose, and this type of measure is rarely enforced, even in cases of crimes against children.

Chemical castration is an extreme measure for a modern industrialized society, but there are some cases where it could be plausible, according to experts. Earlier this week, we reported on the story of a disturbed man from the United Kingdom who avoided jail time after his third time getting caught with large stashes of child abuse images and videos.

The 36-year-old man was arrested with over a million illegal files on his home devices, which depicted graphic scenes of child sexual abuse. For over a decade, this man has been in and out of courthouses, repeating the same crimes over and over again.

This case is slightly different because the suspect only had images and videos, and because there was not a specific underage victim involved.

However, the drive to repeat the same crime over and over again is very similar among these types of predators. In cases where a predator has many underage victims and repeated offenses, a punishment like this is not unreasonable.

Alabama’s governor Kay Ivey has been in the national media spotlight for past several months, due to another piece of controversial legislation in the state. This May, Kay Ivey found herself at the center of a national debate on abortion, after signing one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country.

The legislation, called House Bill 314, “Human Life Protection Act,” bans all abortions in the state except when “abortion is necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk” to the woman. The bill will reclassify abortion as a Class A felony, which will be punishable by up to 99 years in prison for doctors who carry out the procedure.

However, the 74-year-old governor shocked her constituents this week, by signing a bill that legalized medical marijuana in the state. Kay Ivey has been the governor of Alabama for just two years, since 2017.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi, has been one of the most controversial monarchs in the country since he was installed in 2016. He has been in the news for the right and wrong reasons. This is almost in equal measure.

Then 48-year-old Prince Akanbi, a contractor based in Canada from Gbaase Ruling House, was announced as the 16th Oluwo and a successor to Oba Ashiru Tadese, whose death was made public on February 18, 2012.

In the statement conveying his appointment signed by then Secretary to the Osun State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, incidentally an indigene of Iwo, he was said to be a childhood friend of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, who was appointed just a few weeks earlier.

However, the ecstasy that greeted Akanbi’s announcement as Oluwo, on November 9, 2015, soon give way to disbelief and fear, as the newly-appointed Oba started making the headlines for controversial reasons.

Declaration of Iwo as an empire, self as an emperor

For instance, early in 2016, Oba Akanbi declared himself an emperor, and his town, an empire. He subsequently placed a number plate with the large inscription ‘EMPEROR’ on some of his vehicles.

Oba Akanbi, who remained unfazed by criticism that followed the declaration, however told whoever that cared to listen that declaring Iwo an “Empire” and himself, an “EMPEROR” was just a strategy to package and rebrand the ancient town with a view to placing it in global reckoning.

He was of the opinion that not packaging Iwo to reflect the enthronement of a new king that had taste and in touch with modern realities would be tantamount to the continuation of the old order.

“Emperor Telu” offered perhaps, the most insightful explanation into the new Iwo Empire emperor designation while speaking at an award ceremony organised by the Reality Television on April 21, 2016.

Oba Akanbi argued that proper rebranding of Iwo was a necessity to assist him realise his developmental vision for the town.

Declaration that all Yoruba men are entitled to Ooni’s stool

In July 2016, Oba Akanbi and a large retinue of chiefs and prominent indigenes, embarked on a trip to Okerewe, Ile Ife said to be home of Luwo Gbagida, the 16th and the only female Ooni of Ife, whose son, Adekola Telu, founded Iwo town.

During the visit, Oba Akanbi curried another controversy when he declared that every Yoruba man that had ancestral link to Ile Ife could become Ooni.

Oba Akanbi, who was received at the Owodo Royal Compound, Okerewe, Ile Ife by the elders of the royal house, said he was happy to trace his origin to Ile Ife.

Not done, he added that it had been established that indigenes of Iwo could come to Ife and aspire to be the Ooni.

Ife princes, he said, could also go to Iwo and aspire to ascend the throne of Oluwo. Asked why, Oba Akanbi explained that Oranmiyan, one of the sons of Oduduwa, did a similar thing about 1,500 years ago when he traced his origin to Ile Ife.

This declaration did not go down well with many Ife indigenes. Though the palace of Ooni did not officially respond to Oluwo’s statement, many people however linked the statement to an incident that happened earlier on the day of the visit.

Oluwo and his entourage were denied access to the Ooni’s palace during the visit because Oba Ogunwusi was said to be unaware of the visit.

Also in July 2016, Oba Akanbi stirred another controversy when he relegated the Chief Imam to the background and led the eid-prayer during the Eid-Fitri celebration at the Iwo Praying Ground.

He was bashed by some Muslim clerics, who described the action as un-Islamic and inappropriate.

But Oba Akanbi, while justifying his action, said an Oluwo, Oba Alausa, had led prayers during his life time.

He said, “I am not only adequately equipped as one who is versed in the Qur’an but I am also qualified as the religious leader of Iwoland to lead the prayer. Do you think it is possible for an ignorant Islamic oba to rule over a town of many great Islamic scholars? Iwo’s strong tie with Islam and the North is well acknowledged in any part of the world. In Yorubaland, Iwo stands out as a town where Islam is deeply rooted.

“History of Islam in Iwo cannot be written without mentioning the Oluwo called Oba Alausa who brought the religion to the town. He was the one who led the people in prayer and helped the religion to spread and made Iwo a strong Muslim community.

“As I am telling you, the Oluwo must first be turbaned before the traditional akoko leaf is inserted in his cap. Go and see the picture of my installation to confirm what I am saying. This is a town of Islamic scholarship. No other town in the South-West can boast the number of Islamic scholars we have in Iwo because we understand Islam very well.”

Iwo used to appoint Baale for Ibadan declaration

Oluwo courted another controversy in an interview published in The PUNCH of January 1, 2017. During the interview, he claimed that the Oluwo used to appoint baale for Ibadan.

He said, “We used to appoint Olubadan from here in Iwo. It was not that we would ask them to nominate a candidate but we would appoint somebody from here and send him to Ibadan to be the Olubadan. The first Baale in Ibadan, Baale Olugbode, was sent from Iwo to be baale in Ibadan.

“Orowusi, Oderinlo were sent to rule in Ibadan. It was so because Ibadan people believed that Iwo people were very powerful. Bashorun Ogunmola went from Feesu here in Iwo to Ibadan. Balogun Ali Iwo also went from Iwo to be king in Ibadan.”

But the President-General of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes, Chief Wole Akinwande, dismissed Oba Akanbi’s claim, describing it as a demonstration of the monarch’s ignorance of history.

Akinwande said, “Nobody ever appointed Baale or Olubadan in Ibadan from outside. Oluwo claimed that the first Baale in Ibadan was sent from Iwo to rule in Ibadan. That is a wrong foot of ignorance.

“Lagelu and his children were the founders of the first and second Ibadan and as a result of the Yoruba Civil War of the 19th century, Maye Okunade from Ile Ife became the first Baale of Ibadan and not Baale Olugbode as claimed by the Oluwo.

“He must have been taught the wrong history of Ibadan either by oral historians or quack historians.”

Fight with Oluwo Oke

Shortly after this, Oluwo was also embroiled in a crisis with the Oluwo Oke of Iwo Oke, Oba Kadiri Adeoye, who he accused of being used by some unnamed traditional rulers to tarnish his image.

The Iwo monarch, however, said he was not fighting the Oluwo Oke but insisted that Oba Adeoye was the one peddling lies being used by others to bring him down.

“I don’t have thugs. I don’t have miscreants. I cannot be brought down. All I am doing is for the development of my people,” Oba Akanbi said.

But according to Oluwo Oke in an interview, the problem he had with Oluwo started in Ile Ife at a function organised by the Ooni.

He said, “This Oluwo wants to rewrite the history of Iwo town. But there is no way you can rewrite the history. He started this when we went to Ile Ife for a ceremony organised by our father, the Ooni of Ife.

“We went for the church service and during the reception, Oluwo came in and we all greeted him… I went to Oba Ifewara to thank him for attending my 10th (coronation) anniversary. Onigbaye then called me and said, ‘Oluwo Oke, your father the Oluwo, has come now’ and I told him that Oluwo is neither my father nor superior to me but that we are siblings.

“He (Oluwo) became very angry and even wanted to fight me but I just left. Other monarchs present at the ceremony pleaded with me and I left. Ooni’s wife also begged me not to fight.

“But before I got home that day, my senior wife called me on the phone and told me that some hoodlums had gone to vandalise my shopping complex in Iwo. I was surprised and I even thought it was a joke. They stole rice and some other things.”

Oluwo as Emir of Yorubaland

Before the dust raised by the spat he had with Oba Adeoye settled, Oluwo at a function in his palace, declared himself an emir. He based his decision on the lack of unity among Yoruba traditional rulers unlike what existed among monarchs in the North.

The monarch adopted emir title and dressed like a northern monarch on the day he installed Yakub Abdul-Baqi Mohammed as the Waziri of Yorubaland in March 2018.

Speaking on the occasion, Oba Akanbi said, “I have decided to officially adopt the emir title today because I want to emulate the northern emirs. They don’t begrudge themselves like Yoruba obas.

“It will surprise you to discover that for the past two years, there has not been a meeting of Yoruba traditional rulers just because of enmity. There is nothing strange in adopting the emir title. I am the emir of Yorubaland.”

But following barrage of condemnation that trailed his decision a day after the event, Oluwo, in a statement signed by his media aide, Alli Ibrahim, made a U-turn.

He said, “Oluwo has never adopted the emir title; he only said he could also be called an emir by the Hausa and ardent Muslims. Oba Akanbi is an oba for the nation, with special attachment to the Yoruba. He promotes Yoruba culture to the admiration of many youths.”

Crowning of Chanel Chin

Apart from engaging in royal rumble with his brother obas, Oluwo also had a storming relationship with his wife, Chanel Chin.

But before the crisis ruined his marriage with Chanel Chin, Oba Akanbi had crowned her as the olori thus becoming the first king in present day Yorubaland to allow his wife to wear a crown.

Though many royal fathers openly opposed the idea, Oba Akanbi dismissed their criticisms.

“I crowned my wife because Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race gave a crown to his wife, Olokun,” he said.

He said he was able to establish the fact that Oduduwa crowned his wife after he closely observed the effigies of both Oduduwa and Olokun.

His marriage to Chanel, which produced one child he named Oduduwa, later crashed in December 2019 following irreconcilable differences.

His face-off with Ogundokun

Among all the battles Oluwo had involved in, the ones he had with Chief Abiola Ogundokun, whom he removed as the Bashorun Musulumi of Iwo and another fight he had with Imrah Adio, a leading Islamic cleric in Iwo, who he dethroned as Otun Ajanasi, were possibly the most heated.

While the feud with Ogundokun had been laid to rest as a result of the intervention by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State, Oba Akanbi’s fight with Adio, according to sources, has yet to be resolved.

Like Oluwo’s feud with Adio, the monarch is still engaged in simmering controversies with his ex-queen, Chanel Chin, as the estranged wife had refused to return to her base in Canada after the marriage crashed.

Despite his involvement in a lot of controversies, Oba Akanbi’s passion for development of his town is undoubted.

For instance, Oba Akanbi entered the history book when he embarked on the rehabilitation of the Osogbo/Iwo Road.

The monarch also feeds the needy in his domain thrice a week, and introduced empowerment initiatives backed by grants for start-ups for the youths in his domain.

In that case we will space the sack to run through the year, like 4 staff at a time till we get at the required number.

Exactly my thoughts. Nigerians will always find a way around the law. Just like tax evasion.

He knows the mortgage lope hole very well to exploit, but wouldn't know about the law that protects him from giving out hìs passwords under duress. Sometimes the simplest thing can make an intelligent person look stupid.

Logically, this isn't such a bad idea. But two things I'm concerned about.
1. Due to bureaucratic nature of our judicial system, the case may pend or be adjourned till perhaps when the frog starts growing tail.
2. Trust some Nigerians, if it's so easy to reclaim the fund, they will start orchestrating all manners of kidnapping to claim ridiculous amounts of ransom paid.

This is a perfect illustration of how they managed the country for 16 years.

Sometimes life seems to be unfair. But then, it's important to know that we can't all thread the same path. I wrote waec 3 times and jamb 4 times. My problem was never jamb but post utme. I got admission the year my mates were rounding up. Funny enough I got to know of people who scored less than me gained admission on merit. It about three things- hardwork, luck and strength(influence or people you know).
Unfortunately for me, I regretted one thing, I failed to learn a skill during this period. I know alot of people who learned one skill or the other that are doing fine today. Besides, we now live in word where all that matters is riches. No one cares about what you study in school anymore.
So if you haven't learnt a skill, please do. If you have, learn another. You will be glad you did while you pursue you dream in pharmacy.

I think the dealership should also share in the blame. I'm certain there are CCTV cameras around the show room or display area. How can no one per chance see the scratching of 10 cars. Except it was not clear the child was using a rock. By the way, did she bring the rock from home?

Are we going to ignore the fact that the 2nd picture was photoshop. The head obviously doesn't match with the body.

Why will someone kill for something that is in abundance. If you are not mature enough to handle the hazards of relationship, do not go into it. Killing a fellow being for whatever reason depicts an unhealthy mental state.

Exactly. All the AC, fans, sockets and bulbs will all disappear in just one night, stolen by those living close by. Viju milk and Eva water bottles will be scattered everywhere. Mama Bisola will buy groundnut and be breaking them on the floor while eating, messing everywhere up, but why will she bother, after all, it is not her father's property. Those people that steal manhole covers in Lagos will come at night to strip these bus stops of every piece of metal that they can sell. In fact, after few weeks, only pieces of broken glass attached to iron poles will be left behind.

Bring everyone in Dubai to Nigeria and Nigeria will turn to Dubai in few months, even these bus stops will appear here. Take all Nigerians to Dubai and it will turn to Nigeria in a few weeks. All this AC bus stops will all be destroyed. Nigerians in Dubai will even start struggling for visa to return back to Nigeria.

Nigerians and probably the black race in general have a huge problem. We behave worse than animals in this country.

Not forgetting stikers, banners and posters from the man who has the cure to all diseases in the world, to get-rich-quick seminar organisers and political foot soldiers respectively. Some agberos/touts will even rent the place out at night.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Nigeria leaders hates innovation because they usually feel threatened by it.

Progress will be very difficult in Nigeria.

There are more Nigerians employed through Uber or Taxify than the local taxi system. Their excuse is not valid for stopping Uber at the airport.

They simply want to continue milking travellers because they are levying these local taxis huge some of money [/b]daily.

Besides the bolded, it is most likely those calling the shot are major stakeholders in the local taxi business. Else, how can one explain that these learned person will out rightly reject innovation and convenience. The local taxis need not panic if they are more economical than those banned. I hope they are not just finding a way to charge them too

Easy and convenient to always compare and contrast Nigeria with developed nations when the subject matter favours them. Never on issues that directly affect the masses.

I need to see Frank Edoho and the groom's mother asap.

TBH, i came to see him pointing at something.

Its Saraki 2day because he is a PDP member but APC should remember that what goes around comes around. A party who claims to fight corruption but yet Senator Goje #25 Billion EFCC case was canceld, Akpabio is now a minister, Orji is now a senator without any investigation, Gandollar was never investigated, Tinubu bullion van case has died low. APC should not cry foul when PDP captures power nd start victimising them cos they ar d one who laid d foundation

That's is exactly what we want, let it go round and come around. APC should witch hunt whom ever is worthy of it. When they are out of power, let them be witch hunted too. Which ever way it goes, it a win for the masses. Maybe by so doing, some of them will begin to do things differently.
