Crime › Re: Is It Necessary I Report This Rape Incident I Witnessed? by DavidEsq(m): 9:11am On Sep 12, 2016
DeLioncourt:
Under some criminal law statutes, criminal negligence is defined as any type of conduct that “grossly deviates” from normal, reasonable standards of an ordinary person. It generally involves an indifference or disregard for human life or for the safety of people. - legalmatch.com
The OP saw a person in physical danger and do nothing to help the situation. Instead he pretended not to have witnessed the incident. That is criminal negligence.
Nope. Criminal negligence wld only occur wr u have a primary duty, usually a duty of care or to carry out certain official duties. E.g parents, doctors, certain doctors. The only possible offence the dude committed is "failure to prevent a felony" and even that is arguable and the dude wld be exculpated.

niggi4life:
50K might be okay for some, while 300k too little for some, but as long as you don't drink too much and gamble a lot you should be fine....



While i was getting so mad that Barcelona spoilt my betting ticket in which i could have won 420K, i rushed to make another bet on my team Chelsea, straight win odds of 1.66, na so i put 100k say make i chop 66k...

Chelsea do me strong tin oooo!!



Now my wife kept asking me all night where is my 100K this man
Just tell her u sowed a seed with it but Buhari didn't approve funds for fertilisers, so it died

Nmeri17:
Am I wrong in trying to put behind me,
A reflection of my world and more?
Queries of an idle mind
Crippled and incapacitated by a poisonous vine
Memories of its savoury taste linger
The end thereof shares not the same testimonies

I chose to cling to these memories
Like my life depends on it
In reality, my life and the memories are repugnant
This I know but your enchantment has deeply taken root
Sprouting forth depression and an unanswered question;
why?
"Why" begets a plethora of other questions
Deeper roots, more fruits
Bigger stems, an intertwined pleach
Before long I will cease to carry the boughs on
I wonder your reaction,
when you hear the tree has surged through me:
Chants of jubilation?
Sobs of despair?
Silence of indifference?

In any case, my quest for redemption continues
I will burn rivers and fill rocks with fumes
If I am torn up before a cure is found
On reincarnation, I pray my heart to yours is not bound
Good one bro. The touch of melancholy really gets to me, cos melancholic poems have this strong feelings with outstanding imagery. Do u rmbr these lines: "and here he was laid, on lap of earth, a youth to fame and fortune, unknown. All he hath, he gave to misery; a tear, t'was all he gained, from heaven...". That poem broke me many times like most of Shakespeare's dramas.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: What Is The Implication Of Accepting A Job Without An Employment Letter? by DavidEsq(m): 9:58am On Sep 11, 2016
konny1:
Two things are involved: 1, u dont have job yet cos no agreement btw both parties. So anything can happen.
2, you can leave anytime without any period of notice.
Just know that both of u are playing game and if u are smarter than them u will win but if they are smarter than u they will win. Meaning u only need them to get better offer and they only need u to do any work at moment cos u said is a new firm. Meaning 3months equal to 6years experience.
But if along the line u fall in love the job immedately u collect ur 6th month salary the following day tender ur resignation letter and if they ask u why? Tell them u hv bin working for the past 6mnths with employment letter. Under 5mins u will receive ur employmnt letter.
Note: naximum 6months if u dont want to blame ursef.
Talking from exprience
U said it all. Moreso, where there is no employment letter, u ar just a casual worker having no benefit that wld ordinarily accrue to u in accordance with the labour laws
Politics › Re: Nigeria’s Inaction Delays Recovery Of $85million Ex- Minister’s Loot by DavidEsq(m): 9:13am On Sep 11, 2016
Standing5:
Loot being returned but no jail term serve.
If the loot is returned, isn't the primary purpose of the state served? The question of jail term is to serve as deterrence but if a negotiation I reached, between the prosecution and the criminal, which is wat we refer to as plea bargain, then the state has been saved much expenses and stress. The criminal gets a sentence such as forfeiture of his assets to the state, a light jail term, a fine, community service, bla bla bla. If a leader is so particular about handing down or getting a jail term on the criminal, then he is very shortsighted and has a vendetta with the criminals. Buhari I'm talking to u huh

DeLioncourt:
bro. if she wants it reported, she should do it herself. Don't go sticking your nose where e no concern you. Don't forget that naija police is not your friend...it's your money that is their friend. They will milk you when the matter no dey your hand.
Let your friend know what he did wasn't cool and if possible i'd suggest making peace with the girl...because in truth you can be held complicit (aiding and abetting).
Sha try to keep the matter out of the police station.
By what stretch of imagination is his presence and knowledge aiding , abetting? Did he hold down the victim t enable h frnd porous her? Did he lock the door against the victim to prevent her from escaping his frnd's longman? Even a case wr a friend restrained the victim's frnd from rescuing the victim was being successfully as no aiding and abetting. Although, I know of a possible crime he may ha committed, it's certainly not aiding and abetting.

I will quit immediately. A lady I know married a guy, hired caterers, hall and all that is needed for a big ceremony. They married last year August and was homeless February this year. The car he claimed he owns is on hire purchase. As I type this they are living with her elder sister (she is even pregnant). So lying about job is a big turnoff to me.
Why wld she want a big ceremony, if not for forming purposes? Yes, I read the rest of ur post but chose dis part to maga undecided

lanreni:
I think its high time the state enacts stiffer measures against rape, devoid of the option of fine or bail with long jail terms. People must start speaking out instead of being subdued by this hypoctitical mask of stigma and reputation. Justice must be done; not just for the innocent girl, but for the society in discouraging others from committing such wicked crime.
What's stiffer than life imprisonment with hard labour?

AdaAda1331:
You have it exactly right. That's why I'm on this forum. I know you all can't make the decision for me but I'm having second thoughts if this is something I'll immensely regret doing/not doing. I had an idea about his family behavior but it never directly affected me until now that I'm being attacked. I know God wouldn't want me to make a decision out of fear but I'm still on the fence if this is also God's way of telling me to run. I see the fire now before marriage and me saying yes will be me putting my hand in it. I don't know if that's wise.
I feel u already know what to do; the problem is the will and strength to do it. Dear OP, one thing is certain: u have a good heart and marrying that guy wld rob u of dat good heart, cos his family's pettiness wld hit u had and u wld either develop defence mechanisms by trying to win some of the family members (certainly not all) to ur side or u wld develop much forbearance. Whichever way, that good, cute, innocent and loving heart of urs wld become way too strained to remain the same. I've seen dat happen and that's wr I'm speaking from. Best of luck

I saved 60k from NYSC alone even after buying my phone (infinix note 2, 2gb ram) which I bought 46k.

Go and read that authority very well. I didn't cite it 4 citing case. I ve used it severally and no qualms wit it. If the OP is a yearly tenant and he is already in arrears, in d absence of a tenancy agreement, he becomes a tenant-@-will and entitled to only One Week Notice to Quit. Section 18, Rent Control and Recovery of Residential Premises Law of various States in Nigeria.
The fact of ur successful use of the case is not in doubt, as I too have done same; but it has been wrongly applied in a host of cases.

Six kids already and still that young?
LOL, yet some ppl would be shouting paedophilia when worse is happening in their village.

Its interesting to note the lack of mention of a husband or even the father(s) of the children; suggesting she may be a single mom with an apparently wayward lifestyle.

Tying her up like a Boko Haram suspect won't remedy the situation; the loss of her children through negligence is already punishment enough - she will be scarred and guilt ridden for life.
What makes u think she would be remorseful due to the loss of her kids. A woman who leaves her suckling to flex is an exception to the biblical analogy of a mother's love. I believe u read of the UniAbuja banking and finance student who delivered a baby; well she lost the baby and was all smiles the very next day; and yes, I have one of her coursemates as a friend; close friend.
