vikiviko,
It is sad to note of the visa refusal even with  Wale professional and immigration history.But we must not loss sight of a fact that the issuance of Visa is not a right but a discretional offer to the applicant on a condition.This condition(s) are the Visa application requirement,in this case a hostel reservation/accomodation is needed for a visa to be approved.
FYI Nigeria embassies have her requirements which have to the fulfilled for a visa to be approved.
Wale as an experienced traveller should have known  better  and do the right thing.In either way Sweden/French,he need to meet the requirements.

To become a domain name reseller is not a big deal.Its just like registering/incorporating a business and keeping the names on the 'shelves' waiting for somebody to buy them off you.
The problem with Domain name reseller is that,the domain should be acceptable to your prospective buyers.You might have www.abc.com and your buyer will prefer www.cba.com.
I have just register a domain name-www.naijamarkt.com and its still under construction

Osunbor's faction rejects PDP peace deal, Anenih urges truce
From John-Abba Ogbodo, Abuja

THE crisis rocking the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may linger on as the faction loyal to Governor Oserhiemen Osunbor rejected the peace formula from the party's national secretariat. It said that the arrangement conferred undue advantage on the former chairman of PDP Board of Trustees (BOT), Chief Anthony Anenih.



"We totally reject everything that has been said here. If you want election, come and meet us in Edo State. We have just seen and heard a script which we have heard many, many times before now. In Benin City, if you phone somebody now, he will read to you that very thing that has been kept as secret for a very long time.

"In any case, we want to tell you, Mr. chairman, that we totally reject, repeat, I reject everything that has been said here. If you want do election or congress, come and meet us in Benin City. Thank you." This was the reaction of the Osunbor's faction, led by former military governor of old Bendel State, Samuel Ogbemudia after the PDP national Chairman, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor had spoken on the position of the National Working Committee (NWC) on the crisis in the state.

At the end of the meeting, all the parties proceeded to the conference hall opposite the national chairman's office for the meeting. Ogbulafor, in his opening remarks, commended all the parties for the efforts being made to restore peace in the state chapter, stressing that PDP would not like to lose Edo to another political party. He reiterated that without peace in the state, there would be no progress. Going biblical, Ogbulafor noted that even in the bible, the emergence of Matthias was through election, an indication that there was politics in biblical times. 'I will not like Edo to go to another political party.

Ogbulafor said he had consulted widely and the position of the leadership of the party was that the Anenih faction should be allowed to produce a new chairman for the state while the two controversial candidates on both sides-Edward Sado and Dan Orbih for Osunbor and Anenih stood disqualified.

He asked the deputy national chairman to read out the other details which appeared to have conceded the chairmanship position at the ward and local council levels in the areas where the governor has strong hold to Anenih's faction.

At the state level, the Anenih group was given chairmanship, treasurer, publicity secretary, financial secretary, woman leader, state vice chairman (south) state vice chairman (north) assistant secretary, assistant publicity secretary and organising secretary. On the state governor's side, they had deputy chairman, state secretary, state organising secretary, youth leader, auditor, legal adviser, state vice chairman, central, two assistant secretaries, assistant financial secretary, assistant organising secretary and assistant legal adviser.

At the end of the announcement, which was punctuated at intervals with protest, Akhigbe, who said he did not belong to any faction, faulted the party and urged the leaders of the party to cancel the outcome of the last congress because the formula worked out by the party would not work.

Curiously, immediately after the meeting, Anenih arrived at the party secretariat and held a closed-door meeting with Ogbulafor for about 30 minutes.

Later, he offered to abide with the decision of the party's leadership.

He said: "No sacrifice is too great to be made, particularly by those of us who are foundation members of the party in the interest of millions of our party men and women.

"I appeal to all party members in Edo State to accept the decision of the PDP party and ensure that efforts are made to strengthen the party because of the numerous challenges ahead. It is my sincere hope that the party will now be repositioned to enable the governor perform his executive duties."

@brownbono
Will the child be eligible for Italian citizenship?

The answer is NO, because the principle of jus soli is not practiced in Italy but jus sanguinis.

saysth:
I knew it was going to be difficult, but my main problem is how to retrieve my WEAC certificate from Abuja embassy now. Even though I have WAEC sent a copy of the result confirmation to confirm the authenticity of the certificate to the Tribunaland the Embassy. What I have wt me is d photocopy I made before application of the WAEC Cert.

I am thinking of wrting and /or email the Embassy (Abuja) once again to release my Certificate so I can get it to WAEC for for re-issuance of new Certificate. I can tell you that I got a good means to get this new certificate, but I need to clear this immigration history and the mess he might cause me in the nearest future. I can even think of making fresh application after this is solved.

Thanks very much, as I await your views and advice.

FYI,
The embassy have no right to with hold your WAEC certificate(either for forgery or otherwise).They are suppose to lodged the case with the Police and deposit the certificate as an exhibit.The onus is now on you to clear the issue with the Police with a proof of the originality of the document(alibi).
Regarding your sponsor ,the company as you are aware is a legal entity and the finance/account belongs to the company and not your sponsor.Except there is a deed that specific a relationship between you and the company by way of employer-employee relationship or a WILL assigning the company to sponsor your education/undertakings in a situation of death of your parent/relation/major share holder  etc.

Every country have her own entry visa reqiuirements,no country is the same except for the Schengen countries.

The options are limited(or impossible) if both are with the Nigeria nationality.
The maximum is ITALY will grant the pregnant woman a 9 months resident permit to enable the child to be delivered and cannot be extended except through other routes.

Vicjustice:
Don't judge Finland wrong because of your ordeal, it's not necessarily so-that they refused visas for racial reason, in fact the refusal has got more or less to do with the financial, obligation, economic, resident and social status of the host-to-be: also, the immigration history plays a major role; such as, if a person has on one time or the other ever sought political asylum before being legalised or granted citizenship, or has ever resorted to public fund under social welfare, it's highly likely that anybody s/he invites in the future will be refused of visa. But those with reputable profession and clear immigration history seldom get treated this way.

This insinuation is totally out of context and has no bearing with immigration laws anywhere in Europe.What has social status,reputable profession or political asylum etc got to do with the rights of a citizen of a host country?I am indeed disappointed on this interpretation of your understanding of Immigration laws/issues within Europe.There is no need reacting to a post when you have no idea on how such issues can be resolved.

@Poster

You need the following to sponsor your aged parents-
1.There should be an income that will be enough to take care of your mother during the period of her visa(Not a life savings)
2.There should be an accommodation for her during the visit
3.There should be proof of relationship to show that she is your mother
4.You should write a cover note stating the period of the visit and the purpose(just to spend time with the ground children) and she have no intention to overstay her visa.
That is all that you need to invite your mother.
Without much ranting,you should write a letter to the embassy with the contact information below asking for reconsideration of your mother visa application and state categorically the reason(s) for the visit.
Contact Information: Finland's Embassy, Abuja


Visiting address:
Embassy of Finland
9 Iro Dan Musa Street
Asokoro
Abuja
Nigeria

Postal address:
Embassy of Finland
P.M.B 5140, Maputo Street
Wuse, Zone 3
Abuja
Nigeria


If you are satisfied with their response(within a month),then write a formal petition to the Finland ministry of Foreign affairs and copy your local political officer holders-
Postal address:
Ministry for Foreign Affairs
P.O.Box 176
00161 Helsinki
Finland
+358 9 160 05 or 578 15

This have nothing to do with the Nigeria government at this stage,you are a finland citizen and you must fight to protect your rights.

The Home Office have lost twice on the COA issue and is due for the House of Lords hearing.But its still closed to illegals except through the Church of England(but some vicars do request proof of residence)

In the light of your situation i am sure you have not provided enough information to your Solicitors to arrive at an up to decision on the right options.
If i may ask,
1.Do you have proof of your initial entry into the UK(Visa)(not very important)?
2.Do you have 2 years documentary evidence as a proof of your cohabition with your partner(utility bills,bank statement etc)?
3.Do you and your partner have an accommodation ?
4.Can you sustained yourself financially without recourse to public funds?

If the answer to the above questions is YES.I suggest your best option is to apply/submit an application for the extension of leave to remain in the United Kingdom as the unmarried partner of a person present and settled in the UK.

NOTE:If there is an enforcement against you before your application is made to the Home office,your 2 years cohabitation will be lost.Applying for EC from Nigeria means you have to fulfill all the immigration requirement for a fiance/married/spouse visa.Finally be aware that overstayers will have a UK EC ban for up to 10 years as from October 2008.
I hope you will not bring the new baby into this brouhaha.

Godislove,

Go and see an accredited immigration adviser before making a decision to go back to Naija for a settlement visa.If your husband is a British citizen or a ILR holder and have leaved to gather for 2 years there is no need going to naija.
Don't make an uninformed decision.
I wish you all the best and a good motherhood life.

Godislove:
One of the Lawyers I've seen here also told me I can apply for COA "certificate of approval" to marry here in UK even as an illegal immigrant, thus anybody know anything about this.

Lol,th COA is only applicable to people with limited leave to remain in the UK.

You possible option is to apply for (FLR(m) as unmarried partner in a relationship akin to marriage(with documentary proof of at least 2 years of living together).
Your marriage in the church may not be recognised if a licence was not sorted from the Marriage registry by  your church for the marriage.
Since the father of the expected baby is British, the Baby will be British at birth(even when you are illegal).You have to pay for your NHS cost as an overstayer except you put in your application to the Home Office to regularise your stay before your EDD.

There is no reason diffusing your ideas in any bit.Honestly,i like your professional zeal.But we should encourage people to fit into where they can excel.I will only encourage coding if and only if there was a proper training,otherwise there is no need.Bearing in mind of different browser users and not just the old traditional Bill Gate monopoly of the Explorer and other MS O/S.
Most of this web design tools/software programmes are developed in line with the W3C standards for search engine optimisation/browser compatability.Professionally if your web do not appear within the first 10 on google on a search,then something is wrong.
Now ask yourself why is my site not appearing on google search first page ?
I am of the opinion, as is widely common here that people should specialise in a particular area of IT.

wirinet,
I do subscribe to your view point.
Nigeria can only benefit from the global export market if she have any comparative advantage in global village to offer.Apart from the CRUDE OIL  export and importation of REFINED PETROLEUM products and human capital,what else can she offer ?
People talk about industrial revolution,the plan was already initiated by investing companies like, Delta Steel Company Aladja-Warri,Ajakuta steel,Oshogbo steel,Machine tools Oshogbo,Petrochemical companies (NNPC) Onne  P/Harcourt etc,where are they today(down the drain).
The bane of Nigeria development is within the government and her institutions,they have institutionalised corruption in any government  plans.That is why any of their plans and executions will cannot stand the test of time.
Government should should involve private partnership in her quest for development.Take a look at the aviation industry,its booming without a national carrier,NITEL & Mtel is a national disgrace.A country that CANNOT provide the basic social amenities is boasting to the world of her plans come the year 2020.
Government should empower her human capital and support them in area of REALISABLE investment.
Btw,now we are all shouting global food shortage and the hyper inflation this have caused Nigerians.Where is the government programme of the OFN and green revolution of the 70s/80s?Dead and buried,lol.
God help the nation.

"Any overbooking or cancellations by airlines will require a payout of up to €600, depending on the length of time your flight was cancelled before you were due to fly, the distance of the booked flight and the delay suffered in reaching your final destination.  This applies to all flights which have an[b] EU airport as either their departure point or final destination[/b]."

"BUT,Airlines are exempt from paying out compensation if cancellations are due to ‘extraordinary circumstances"

I view this thread with interest,
I will agree with mexabet on crack on with DW,in IT you work with time and not lagging behind with old tools.At the moment DW is the market leader at the moment.Don't forget Adobe is now 10 years in the biz.
DW design is compactable with Firefox and Explorer and will help in the coding instead of the notepad system.The usage of DW tables and cells will keep the beauty of the design of your site even with the well loaded images ,

maedan,

Getting a proof of address (bank statement,utility bills,telephone bills) is very easy.Your husband have to set the new address up with the service providers/bank.He must not necessary mean to be living in the house before doing that.
Wish u the best.

Aondoakaa Extorts N1.1 million from each departments of the Ministry of Justice for Press briefing

Click Here for a Copy of the Extortion Memo>>>

Michael Aondoakaa, Umar Yar'adua's attorney general and minister of justice, has been caught red-handed in an extortion scheme in the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Aondoakaa, who has established a reputation as an ally of corrupt serving and former governors and ministers, is apparently turning his eye towards his ministry’s funds.

Saharareporters is in possession of a document which reveals how the controversial minister compelled each department of his ministry to approve at least N1.1 million each towards his April 29 2008 press briefing.

The document is in the form of a memo dated April 22 2008 was signed by Mrs. Abimbola Coker, the Secretary of the Nigerian Law Reform Commission. Minuted to the commission’s department of finance, the memo indicated that Aondoakaa had in a meeting required that each department contribute to the ministerial press briefing slated for April 29 2008. The media briefing was meant to present the ministry’s activities.

A source within the Ministry of Justice told Saharareporters that Mr. Aondoakaa did not give any account of how the money was disbursed. The source also suggested that the minister may have levied various departments of his ministry according to the size of their budget, but we were not able to confirm that this was the case. However, we were able to obtain the approval granted by the Law Reform Commission.

An Abuja-based senior advocate of Nigeria reacted by stating that “The memo gives a glimpse into the corrupt ways of the minister and the double standards applied by Yar'adua to deal with corruption amongst members of his cabinet.”

The SAN also said: “I wonder why former Health Minister Professor Grange is being prosecuted when Mr. Aondoakaa has acted, and continues to act, in a more ethically improper manner both with regard to funds as well as his shameful effort to help people like [former Governor James] Ibori and [one-time Petroleum Minister] Dan Etete to evade prosecution abroad.”

Saharareporters has reliably gathered that Yar'adua personally instructed that the minister of health case be “given maximum escalation” because of the involvement of Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Several sources have told Saharareporters that Yar’adua was aware that several other ministries were involved in the embezzlement of unspent budgeted funds. For example, investigators reportedly found that the customs department also embezzled its unspent budgeted funds, but Yar'adua decided to let the culprits to go unpunished. Also, Yar’adua’s close friend and minister of agriculture, Mr. Abba Ruma, was said to have misappropriated unspent funds at his ministry. But when he was caught, he and Yar'adua worked out a scheme to fly him out to Germany on the ostensible ground that he was critically ill. Some of the stolen funds were then quietly recovered from Mr. Ruma and returned to the treasury to complete the cover up.

“Yar'adua's chief strategists worked hard on Iyabo's case because they needed a high profile case to boost their so-called anti-corruption war before western donor nations who were critical of Yar'adua’s removal of Nuhu Ribadu as chairman of the EFCC,” volunteered a source within the presidency.

primematch,

The truth is-Life is not a bed of roses.Even in your desperation for a better life should not be taken as an advantage to defraud you of your money.
Make use of the available laws in Nigeria to recover your money.Let no body childish you with fears,if EFCC can recover money from 419 and give it to their foreign owners.Then,you are within your rights to get your money back.
Don;t be afraid of the NPF(police) as a law enforcement agents with their bribery ideas.You can actually go through the Adjudicator of the law to recover your money.(Please have your evidence to fight a case)

President Yar Adua is only playing to the dictates of his godfathers.Their main purpose is to demise EFCC and bring ICPC to her death.
The civil society have no voice any more in the governance of the day.what a democracy ?
A lot of the senators are having corruption cases in court and yet they are still called "the law makers".I fear for the nation.

steeee:
Dear Brownbonno,
Regardless of where u reside i think u gave a vey candid advise , which i think the poster should have thought about
Really we can all be positive and make these country a better place . When issues need adequate inputs like these i think we should give our BEST like u need . Just be positive be shall get there on DAY

Thanks for your observations.

FARIDA WAZIRI: GANI WRITES YAR'ADUA AN OPEN LETTER

Dear Sir,

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION:
RE: APPOINTMENT OF A NEW CHAIRMAN

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, has referred the name of Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri to the Senate for confirmation as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The Senate will soon begin the process of confirmation. However, I will like you to give consideration to the following issues arising therefrom:-

1. That the Office of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is not vacant.

2. That if you come to the assailable conclusion that it is vacant, Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri lacks both moral and constitutional authority to be the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

ABSENCE OF VACANCY OF
THE CHAIRMAN OF ECONOMIC AND
FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC).

(a) Appointment of the Chairman of EFCC

Section 2(3) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act No. 1 of 2004 provides as follows:

“(3) The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall be appointed by the President and the appointment shall be subject to confirmation of the Senate”

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was appointed the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and his appointment was confirmed by the Senate.

After the expiration of his four (4) year term, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was re-appointed in April 2007 for another four years by virtue of Section 3(1) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act, which provides as follows:

“3(1) The Chairman and members of the Commission other than ex-officio members shall hold office for a period of four years and may be reappointed for a further term of four years and no more.”


(b) Removal of Chairman of EFCC from Office

Section 3(2) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act No. 1 of 2004 provides thus:

“3(2) A member of the Commission may at any time be removed by the President for inability to discharge the functions of his office (whether arising from infirmity of mind or body or any other cause) or for misconduct or if the President is satisfied that it is not in the interest of the Commission or the interest of the public that the member should continue in office.”

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is the current Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and he has not been formally removed as Chairman of the Commission by the President in accordance with the enabling statute. Consequently, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act, the Office of the Chairman is not vacant.

What then is the effect of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s
posting to National Institute for Policy and
Strategic Studies (NIPSS)?

The National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies is set up by an Act i.e. National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies Decree No. 20 of 1979 (now Act) contained in Cap. N51 Laws of Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

The directive or order for Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to proceed to National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies cannot be taken as his removal from office as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Whether the order that he should go to N.I.P.S.S. was made by the President or the Inspector-General of Police cannot be substituted with the clear provision of Section 3(2) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act. In any event, the training arrangement/Instruction/Directive/Order either by the President or by the Inspector-General of Police cannot be tantamount to the removal of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu from office.

The Inspector-General of Police has no right to order Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to go on a course in the NIPSS because Nuhu Ribadu, after confirmation of the Senate, has become a special public officer enjoying statutory protection brought about by the confirmation of the Senate in accordance with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act.

Importantly, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was no longer under the command and control of the Inspector-General of Police who is a member of the Commission with Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as the Chairman in accordance with Section 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act.

I can liken the Mallam Nuhu Ribadu situation with a Commissioner of Police who has not retired and who is nominated as a minister by Mr. President. Once his appointment is confirmed by the Senate under Section 147(2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, can the Inspector-General of Police remove him from ministerial duties to go to NIPSS for one year? The obvious answer is NO. Mallam Nuhu Ribadu is in the same position. His appointment has been previously confirmed by the Senate. How can the Inspector-General of Police override the Senate confirmation? It will be against the tenets of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act and the spirit and intendment of the confirmation power of the Senate.


The moral incapacity of
Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri
to be confirmed as the Chairman


In the unlikely event that the Senate comes to the remote conclusion that the Office of the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is vacant, I make bold to say that the nominee of Mr. President, Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri, has no moral capacity to head the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the following grounds:

Although Section 2(1)(a)(ii) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act allows a serving or retired officer not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent to be appointed as Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri cannot be appointed and confirmed as such, because she has acted at least in one instance in a way which, if appointed the chairperson of the Commission, it will bring her in conflict with the Code of Conduct for Public Officers enshrined in Part I, Paragraph I in the 5th Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

Poser: Which Singular Act?

(a) Senator George Akume a former Governor of Benue State and now a current Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria since 2007 was under serious investigation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged acts of corruption. His International Passport No: A0086687 issued on 10th February, 1999 was seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the course of investigation while serving as a senator.

(b) On 8th November, 2007, Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri as surety to Senator George Akume, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) suspect under investigation, collected Senator George Akume’s International Passport No; A0086687 which was earlier seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to prevent Senator George Akume from travelling out of the country.

Obviously, this act by Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri really showed some sort of “relationship” between Senator George Akume and Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri. It also shows some personal interest that Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri has in the investigation of Senator George Akume by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).


EFFECT OF CHIEF (MRS) FARIDA WAZIRI’S ACT
ON THE CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PUBLIC OFFICERS
IN THE CONSTITUTION

If Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri is confirmed as the chairperson of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), what she did on the 8th day of November 2007 in respect of Senator George Akume is clearly in conflict with Part I, Paragraph I in the 5th Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, which provides that:

“1. A public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities.”

The moment Chief (Mrs) Farida Waziri is confirmed as Chairperson of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), her duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Commission will bring her in conflict with the interest generated in Senator George Akume’s investigation for corruption which will affect her decision to charge Senator George Akume to court for prosecution or not.

If I may ask the question – Is there every likelihood that this interest may lead the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to compromise the Senator George Akume investigation thereby tainting the moral and statutory authority she may have as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)? The obvious answer is YES. It is equally obvious that when it comes to the confirmation process on the floor of the Senate, it will be unnatural for Senator George Akume not to vote for the confirmation of his benefactor.


THE MESSY SITUATION OF
THE CONFIRMATION PROCESS OF
CHIEF (MRS) FARIDA WAZIRI

At the moment, the following Senators are facing criminal prosecution for corruption in the law courts in Nigeria:

1. Senator (Dr) (Mrs) Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello
2. Senator (Dr) Chimaroke Nnamani
3. Senator Saminu Turaki

Also, some Senators are under investigation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for corruption. They are:

This is a textbook case of 419. Poster/victim himself was criminalized ab initio by accepting to make a fake passport for himself. No doubt roseline and the Abuja connection were working hand in hand.

Now the 300k. I figure you could spend 50-100k to recover this much. In the process you might create serious problems worth 600k or much more. Some problems can't even be quantified in monetary terms. So, omo make you chill afterall people dey go market lost wetin pass that one. Pple get robbed and every day, accidents happen and people lose money.

You have to learn from your mistake.Because who lose 300k fit lose 3m. It is a matter of what is available.

Pocket lawyer,this how you allow Naija remain the way it is today.Shame.
