What a pity! This weak head can wake up tomorrow , and begin to insult every Nigerian youth. By calling them LAZY bones.

Arrant nonsense! People who think and act this way , are the reason for our backwardness as a nation. Unfortunately, they are all over the place.

May be he expected Trump to refer to Buhari as mallam.

A legal practitioner, Ogedi Ogu, has filed a N10m lawsuit against Oxford University Press, publisher of Oxford Dictionary, over an alleged wrongful definition of the words “mortgagee’’ and “mortgagor” in the dictionary.

The first defendant in the suit filed before the Lagos State High Court in Igbosere is the University of Oxford while Oxford University Press was joined as the second defendant.


In his statement of claim, Ogu claimed that he was embarrassed and suffered a loss of reputation as a lawyer when he relied on the definitions of the words in Oxford Dictionary, which, he claimed, were found to be incorrect.

According to him, in the Oxford Mini Reference Dictionary and the Oxford English Mini Dictionary, which he purchased in 2005 and 2006 respectively, the word “mortgagee’’ was defined as the borrower in a mortgage transaction, while “mortgagor’’ was defined as the lender.


According to him, Oxford Dictionary mixed up the meanings of the two words.

Ogu, in his statement of claim, said he relied on the definitions while offering a legal advice to a professional colleague, who later pointed out to him that the definitions were wrong.

According to him, his professional colleague drew his attention to the correct position in many other dictionaries apart from Oxford, which defines the word “mortgagee” to be the lender and “mortgagor” to be the borrower.


Ogu claimed that he had since suffered a loss of professional respect among his colleagues, as his legal advice was no longer being sought.

He said on account of this, he instructed his lawyer, Emmanuel Ofoegbu, to write a pre-litigation letter to University of Oxford and Oxford University Press on November 4, 2016, seeking redress.


He said the defendants replied with a letter dated November 30, 2016, by their legal director, admitting the wrong definitions complained of but refused to accept any liability.

The letter, he said, read partly, “Our dictionaries are made available as a reference tool only; they are never held out by OUP as being an alternative to seeking independent legal or financial advice, and we cannot take responsibility for an individual’s decision to use them as such.”

Ogu said it was consequent upon this that he filed the suit, seeking damages in the sum of N10m.

He also wants the court to order Oxford University Press to always ensure that all dictionaries published by them have a caveat warning readers that they are only available as reference tools and that anyone who relies on them as an alternative to seeking legal or financial advice, does so at his risk.

The court has yet to fix a date for the hearing of the suit.

Northern states under the rule of sharia should not be giving allocation from excise duty collected from alcohol making companies. It is injustice for you to ban and criminalise the sale and drinkkng of alcohol in your states only for you to turn back and get allocations from collected from the sale of the products in other state.
God helping me to get into the senate, this is one of the things that we must correct. Nigerians should tell themselves the truth and stop being blind to fact. A lot of things must change if we are to move forward in this country.

Gbam! You know book. God willing, you will be in the Senate one day.

Bill Gates says he has paid more than $10bn in taxes over a lifetime, but billionaires like him should pay “significantly” more because they benefit more from the system.

The Microsoft co-founder, the world’s second richest man after Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, was critical of a recent US tax overhaul that slashed corporate taxes and lowered the top bracket for individual income.


“I’ve paid more taxes, over $10bn, than anyone else, but the government should require the people in my position to pay significantly higher taxes,” he said in an interview Sunday with CNN.

He said the tax overhaul passed in December favours the rich despite Republican claims it will help the middle and working classes.

“People who are wealthier tended to get dramatically more benefits than the middle class or those who are poor, and so it runs counter to the general trend you’d like to see, where the safety net is getting stronger and those at the top are paying higher taxes,” he said.


With a sixth of the US population living in what he called “disappointing” conditions, he said US policymakers need to think about rising inequality and ask, “Why aren’t we doing a better job for those people?”

A 39-year-old man from Botswana known as Paellas Mohule, has divorced his legal wife for a sex doll he recently bought from the United States.

According to him, women were just after his money and usually had diseases which made him prefer a doll.

Mohule who is a car dealer in Gaborone, Botswana, bought a doll worth $2,600.00(N935,251.80) from the United States.


A Ugblizz stated that Mohule claimed that women have failed to satisfy him in bed. So after sleeping with it, he divorced the mother of four children claiming she was no match to the doll when it comes to bedroom matters.

However, he pledged to support his former wife and children provided she allowed him time to enjoy the doll in peace.
