Let's take this scenario out...

Let me even ask...
What is wrong in holding someone's shoulders... ?
If it was termed over stepping boundaries... That would sound better..

But sexual assault or rape?
For heaven's sake am lost...

But ladies do this... to guys and no one screams rape.

Beside the shoulder is not a private part...
One can tap you on the shoulder to get you attention.

This things are peculiar to different situations.

Ladies should stop all these false allegations.
Yes, Her shoulder is her private property

Don't allow every Tom,dick and Harry touch ur girl child in every manner they chose, these days even boy child is endangered species in the hands of paedophile rapists

Yes, It cld be sexual harassment to touch someone on their shoulder especially if it's an opposite sex and they don't know you

Tapping on shoulder to get one's attention should not be a welcome idea especially when you barely know each other, in Lagos markets, people dey carry jazz touch people, be careful

If you tap me on my shoulder and I don't know you, I'd either shout at you or give you a very unpleasant response

Waste not your pity on this one

Your comment is the best

Your message is not strong enough to acquit you. And, you didn't disappoint the woman in the first place, unless you had the intention of raping the maid truly.

"See this:


"Ma, all my life, I have always worked to protect my integrity. This is important to me, for it is from it that I derive joy and pride. I did not and do not have evil, devilish intention (not even as grave as sexual assault) towards your maid; for that was never my way of life and I never pray it does!

The mistake I made, Ma, was that I tried to take a "good gesture' too far! I went too far out of my way to show hands of care! But I was only moved to care and assist a person I was meeting for the first.

Although I don't know the lady's experience: she might have had a 'rape' or a 'near-rape' experience in the hand of somebody who first showed normal care as I did before, and that might have prompted her to act the way she did. I think that might have resulted in her feeling of insecurity and paranoia as I see it to be.

I know that in life, things happen. I have taken her reaction to my gesture in good fate, and I have learnt to adjust in my relating and interacting with people. But, ma, I wanted to clarify: it is not in my thought, let alone my intention, to assault her either sexually or in any other form her. Despite all that occurred, I leave her with my best wishes. I pwish the her best in life.

I still remain my faithful self,
Your Name."


This is powerful that what you sent her
Powerful message

I second this message

Some years back i came back from work early which was quite unusual back then and there was no light. so i strolled around my new neighborhood which was a developing area with zero commercial activities, i was so carried away in my thought to the extent that i didn't know i had covered a long distance and it was dusk, i quickly turned back to go home, on my way back i saw some children waving at me and calling me uncle. i didn't respond, as they started moving towards me i took to my heels grin before somebody will come out and call me kidnapper.
The point is, in this present time one has to be careful, giving thorough thought to all his actions. For me its not logical for you to move close to a lady before you convince her to eat. I just pray God helps you get it resolved
Ehen, u get sense ojere, people should learn from this writing

Those days wey I dey go school around iyana-oba, nah so women go say make u help them cross their children for that highway, omo I dey run ohh, even when I mistakenly obliged sef one or twice, my heart go dey beat fast make e no be say the woman gan kidnap the children, they go just term you useless accomplice

Next time bros defend yourself. Don't beg. Only if you knew what begging means to lawyer. It means you admit your guilt.

If you have nothing to hide, You should have chose police station option instead of sack and pursue your case.

God knows I can go to jail to prove my innocence.
Bros there is no proving his innocence here, any body would stand on the girl's side on this case

Innocence is in the mind, action is the result

He asked her to rest, she refused

After an hour, he asked her to rest again, she refused AGAIN!!!

Then he stood up, from where HE was resting and eating while she was minding her business, then he went close to her(why), then he put his hand on her shoulder(who send am, for what reason, is she his girlfriend/wife, if she no eat how e take affect am)

Is that how you walk around putting your hands on every opposite sex's shoulder even when you barely know each other

For crying out loud, she is a girl, they were alone, they are not friends according to his story, women are more fragile than men, he could overpower her.

What if he went beyond her shoulder, women bress no far from their should ohh

I would raise concerns against you if you came close to my daughter and put your hand on her shoulder even after she refused your advances several times

His continued intentions after "shoulder touching" are still only known to him alone while his actions has made a statement


I get at least five female workers, I dey fear to dey alone with them, when one was in my office, I purposely tried to leave the office door open so all cld see and I dey quick quick dismiss long talk

what a pathetic story. My heart got broken as i read through.
The deed has been done man, wipe your tears and dust your shirts, That cannot be the end of your relationship with your Madam, i bet you: she will come along, just give her time( Time and distance heals).

The girl maybe reacting from her past experience(s). who knows her story too because from the look of thing you know her not hence my assumption.
Try and revisit this issue later long and clear the air, for i believe more secret shall be review and bigger truth awaits you .
However if you can, LET IT GO.
You made so much sense bro...

In as much as I feel for the op, who knows the girl's story too like u rightly said, this days no one can be trusted ohh, he obliged her to rest, she declined, he told her again to rest after an hour again, she declined yet again, then his conscience told him to stand up and touch her shoulder to convince her to eat or rest, wetin be him concern for the girl matter sef

Like someone else said

"na from clap dance dey take start"

My advice: ask for forgiveness from your boss and the girl, because the girl in question got scared I guess, move on... When you keep on going back to plead it might be perceived as him having other new motives

HealthRe: Nigerians Use Paracetamol To Cook Meat: Concern As More People Use It by DAVE5(m): 11:00am On Jan 14, 2020
magicminister:
Interesting

Since there isn’t any solution, I’d recommend random audits of restaurants.

You can audit 50 restaurants a day and get multiple food sample after which it is tested for paracetamol. Should it test positive, the restaurant will be closed and the property handed over to the government. Awareness has been created and restaurants have been warned. This is not time to stand and look! Now it’s time to act as the nations regulatory body!
I guess you know all the restaurants in Nigeria would be closed normally for not just using paracetamol only but for other related crimes as well

But it would be a step in the right direction if it was adopted without bias

Now to think of it who else notice that thread like this one is usually toxic to BMC'S zombies, it goes a long way to tell you that they are full of hypocrisy, bigotry and nepotism.

Dead meat seller arise and defend the dirty butts of ur pay masters it's what u are paid to do. Shit eater
Surprisingly the "dead meat seller" as nairalanders refer to him is yet to comment on this thread and the other thread where it was said that the president's daughter used our national executive jet to do her project for a London based university

Shouldn't the president's daughter attend a Nigerian school to promote the term "grow Nigeria" but no, they're more special citizens than we that voted them to power

Good morning y’all,as usual I would expect the normal ranting online condemning this abuse of power by the top elite.
my Question goes like this:For how long can we keep ranting here online whence nothing will happen in reality?
1: For long how can these elite keep on misusing funds then we ‘only’ complain online and move on ?Aint we youth tooooo weak?aint it time we stop fearing the concept of death and show these fucktards how things are being done in reality?
2.Police and law enforcement agencies kill at will people’s sons,daughters,breadwinners like they ain’t got no family,kids,wives,like they ain’t humans just cuz the world government gave em power....I will put it to them JUDGMENT DAY is coming even if it’s 50 years from now.we must go back to the old African ways to correct these abnormalities.
The most annoying part is that religion has bleeped us all mentality that we wait for coming of a Gay Christ or Allah to save us from all this people.The original African man is a fearless man,there is nothing like judgment day after death by a white man on the throne.we should unlearn what we learnt from colonization cuz it’s really fucking us hard mentally and we believe things will be better.Next election we vote a new set of looters and d status quo keeps goin on and on.Its time we start resisting like a real African blood the concept of ‘Government’ imposed on us when dis fucking Neanderthal crossed the Mediterranean to Africa. WE JUST WANT a JUST SOCIETY.

Na wa ooo. Using the a tax payers funded Presidential Jet and received by a convoy of 15 vehicles for her personal photo project.
The Buhari I used to know that was with Idiagbon then wouldn't have authorized and defended this publicly. The Buhari I see now is a changed person. When will salvation come to Nigeria.
When my brother? When?
Salvation would come when WE decide to hold the government accountable for their deeds and fight for our rights collectively, until then we would be mistreated the way they choose

I read somewhere that Iranians are demanding that their Commander in chief steps down due to the fatal human error which led to the death of about 176 persons, those are the people that deserve salvation cos they've fought for it

We don't deserve salvation

Happy New Year all the same.
I was super comfortable 2018 and had high hopes, 2019 changed everything, it was miserable, it was bad, my “strawberry fruit” became “bitter kola” in my mouth,

now I’m stepping into this new year like juggernaut bursting through the wall

It’s not just another new year for me, I just have a good feeling, it’s a hunch and an instinct that this year and forever would bear good fruits for me, may good fruits grow for you even in the dessert to the amazement of all, good tidings brother is what I wish you, rejoice

Christmas has come and gone, but we have just a stone throw away from New year. Therefore,we should try to apply this security tips for yourself and love ones, not even for festive period alone but also when embarking on journey with a stranger.

More crimes against people are committed on the streets during Yuletide season than in any other place.

Therefore, the following precautions can help you to reduce your chances of being a victim:

AVOID FOLLOWING A ROUTINE e.g. fixed shopping times and places,Seek advice on safe and crime prone areas

Do not carry more cash or valuables than you can’t afford to lose.

Adjust your profile to the area you are visiting.

Keep keys in a pocket rather than in a bag; never attach your name and address to your key

If you are walking on a lonely street or at night, walk facing the traffic and near the kerb.

Always Walk with someone. Most attackers will be discouraged if you have company - male or female.

Avoid dark, deserted areas, stay in well-lit areas.

Avoid shortcuts through parks, vacant lots and other deserted places.

Hold your purse close to you, not dangling. Never set it down on store counters, restaurant seats or bus seats.

If a driver stops to ask you directions, avoid getting too close to car - you could be pulled inside.

If you're being followed by someone, cross the street, act suspicious and keep looking behind you. This may discourage the follower. Walk towards a well-lit business or a group of people.

If you're being followed by someone in a car, turn around and walk in the opposite direction.  If possible record the license number, seek a safe location and call the police.

When you return home, have your key ready to open door without delay.

Leave your outside light on so you can easily see when you return home.

If you are on your cell phone, keep your head up, look around and be alert.  

BEACH SECURITY
For those who intend to visit the beach during the break, here are a few tips to follow:

Go in company of others and wherever possible, with communication set such as radio GSM

If you are using a vehicle to the beach, ensure that it is securely locked even if you are going to be within the immediate vicinity

Please leave all valuable at home

Consider leaving the beach before 1800hrs or during a period when you will not be isolated from persons that are able to offer assistance in the event of an emergency

If you are with your children, please ensure they are always within your sight view.

HOTEL SECURITY
For those of us who travelled and lodged in hotel, this is for you:

Do not entertain strangers in your hotel room

Be alert to overly friendly locals who may have criminal intentions

Never leave valuables in your hotel room exposed or unattended to, even in a locked suitcase

Place valuables, money, jewelry, airplane tickets, credit cards, passport, in a hotel safe deposit box or room safe

Familiarize yourself with escape routes in case of fire or other catastrophe

Use the door chain or bolt lock whenever you are in your room

Use the door viewer (peephole) before opening the door for visitors or hotel attendance.

Do not discuss your room number, while standing in the lobby or leave your room key on restaurant or bar tables

USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Some of us might travel in public transport this festive period. Please note these:

Petty criminals frequent public transport parks everywhere in the world. In order to avoid being a victim, we advise as follows:

Select a taxi, which is registered, and preferably agree on the fee before departure

Do not share a taxi with unknown persons especially when you are carrying valuables

Use a rental car only if you are familiar with the route or the routes are clearly signposted and do rent an inconspicuous car

Use a reputable bus company for long distance bus travel and book in advance. If possible, select a seat at the middle.

If traveling in crowded public transport, keep personal belongings close to your person and in front of you

Avoid the use of public transport 2000-0600hrs if possible

Stay far away from luggage's whose owner is unidentified.
Happy New Year in Advance.

USE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Some of us might travel in public transport this festive period. Please note these:

Petty criminals frequent public transport parks everywhere in the world. In order to avoid being a victim, we advise as follows:

Select a taxi, which is registered, and preferably agree on the fee before departure

Do not share a taxi with unknown persons especially when you are carrying valuables

Use a rental car only if you are familiar with the route or the routes are clearly signposted and do rent an inconspicuous car

Use a reputable bus company for long distance bus travel and book in advance. If possible, select a seat at the middle.

If traveling in crowded public transport, keep personal belongings close to your person and in front of you

Avoid the use of public transport 2000-0600hrs if possible

Stay far away from luggage's whose owner is unidentified.
Happy New Year in Advance.
