Garri the 1st: GEJ is a disgrace to the office of the presidency. His greed for power will see him destroy the Nation and spill the blood of Nigerians.

1. Destroying the North by sponsoring Boko Haram and later sending in soldiers to finish what his BH people started.

2. Arming and financing ND militants.

3. Attempting to bring BH to SW.

4. Arming OPC and other secret cults.

5. Sending thugs and murderers to destabilize Rivers state...


And the list goes on...

pls what is "bossom cancer"?? I've been on this forum since 2006. Some of These holier than thou censoring is becoming rather sanctimonious&preposterous!!!

i think your problem could be attributable to your not being sexually active (which is a good thing, by the way). From My very limited knowledge of anatomy i know that the urethra closes up once the semen is around. You'll get over this problem, hopefully, as soon as you start copulating. So don't worry. Just put a mackintosh on your foam for now. Till you're ready to start fornicating or get married. Lol.Personally i bedwetted till i was about 14. This too will pass away. Don't feel bad. (at least its tory unlike and far far better than the anal incontinence homosexuals suffer)

you write pretty good English. Terse but impactful. Nice one.

only three types of marriages are recognised under nigerian laws. They are:Traditional Marriage, Islamic Marriage and Statutory Marriage (which the layman tagged Court Marriage, maybe because it can only be dissolved in the Court. High Court for that matter). church marriage has no place under our laws. Its seen as church blessing. In OBIEKWE V. OBIEKWE (1963) 7 ENLR 196@199 it was held that "Legally, a marriage in a church (of any denomination) is either a marriage under the ordinance or it is nothing... If the parties have not been validly married under the ordinance then either they are married under native law and custom or they are not married at all. in either case the ceremony in a church would have made not a scrap of difference to their legal status."
For a church marriage to be legally recognised the church must be designated as a "Licensed Place of Worship". Wedding there would ipso facto obviate the need for a statutory wedding. You'll be shocked to know that very very few churches have bothered to obtain this license that could ultimately reduce stress for intending couples. having said that, I'm really not keen on traditional marriage and "court marriage." Wedding in a licensed parish suffices for me.

Pope Francis on Wednesday, June 3, appointed John Cardinal Onaiyekan, as the Apostolic Administrator of Ahiara Diocese.
An Administrator (Sede Vacante) serves as a caretaker until a newly chosen diocesan bishop takes possession of the diocese.
According to Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Ralph Madu, the Secretary to the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, who confirmed the appointment, it was made ad nutum Santae Sedes, which means that the Cardinal will be accountable to the Holy See regarding ecclesiastical activities in Ahiara diocese. His appointment puts an end to the function of Msgr. Theo Nwalo as the administrator of the diocese. The appointment took effect by 12noon, (11am Roman time) on Wednesday, July 3, 2013. The Cardinal has already met with the presbyterium of the catholic diocese of Ahiara.
The appointment of Cardinal Onaiyekan, Archbishop of Abuja as the Administrator of Ahiara followed the controversy generated by the appointment of Fr. Peter Okpaleke as the Bishop of Ahiara by the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in December 2012.
It would be recalled that when news of Bishop Okpaleke’s appointment was made known to the people of Mbaise, a section of the clergy and laity took to the streets in protest against the decision.
They were angered that an Mbaise priest was not appointed to replace late Bishop Chikwe.
Father Okpaleke however was ordained bishop of Ahiara on May 21, but the ordination took place at Seat of Wisdom Seminary in Owerri Archdiocese amid heavy security.
The appointment “sends a very reprehensible signal about the status and reputation of about 500 Catholic priests that trace their origins to the soil of Mbaise, a diocese that has been globally acclaimed as the Ireland of Nigeria,” the priests said in a statement.
Some priests and lay protesters saw Cardinal Francis Arinze, the retired prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, who comes from Anambra State as the force behind the appointment of Father Okpaleke. Cardinal Arinze also comes from Anambra State.
The Holy See has not announced Bishop Okpaleke’s resignation from his see. Typically, the Pope appoints an apostolic administrator when a see is vacant (sede vacante), but a sede plena appointment is not unprecedented: Archbishop Joseph Miot served as Apostolic Administrator of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, from 1997 to 2008, while Archbishop François-Wolff Ligondé remained Archbishop, and Bishop Thomas Olmsted was appointed Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Gallup in 2008 while Bishop Donald Pelotte remained diocesan bishop.
Founded in 1987, Ahiara Diocese was governed by Bishop Victor Chikwe, from its inception until his death in 2010.

emmmmmmm. have u all wondered where they all spat out.

[quote author=Somorin#1]Most excellent that you have experience on this.

Can I assume that you'll be offering your services to this victim then?[/quote]You seem to be particularly interested in my offering my services to her. Well, firstly, "ambulance chasing" is not permitted under the Rules of Professional Conduct in Nigeria. The client has to seek for legal services herself, and not the other way round. (unlike in the United states and some continental jurisdictions) Secondly, I have long left the bar. I'm presently on the lower bench and so cannot ethically represent her or any one for that matter. But suffice it to say that if the errant officer is arraigned before me I will throw the book at him and visit him with the full weight of the law.

[quote author=Somorin#1]You're wasting time. The person you quoted has his opinion too.

Contact the Lady, and offer to represent her and her family. Take this case all the way to the highest court.

In fact, set up a class action lawsuit and invite anyone who has ever suffered injustice at the hands of the army to join in.[/quote]i've not begrudged him the right to express his opinion, which as you know, is like an a55hole of which everyone has one.however, in expanding his intellectual horizon and enlightening him that a "whole captain of the nigerian army" isn't a god or deity I merely expressed my own opinion also. That a person is of the military doesnt give him a right to ride roughshod over unarmed civilians. Talk less of a lady. There's no justification for that whatsoever. to think that the assault was carried out - not by a rank and file rating - but by a commissioned officer who ought to know better is even more shameful&odious. 2 years ago my court registrar suffered a similar opprobrium in the hands of some jackboots. It only took a properly couched protest letter to the right authorities to get the errant officers remanded and substantial damages paid to her. The era of wanton military brutality is long gone. Anyone still worshipping them and glorifying their bestiality is merely a pusilanimous victim of mental masturbation.

alyarmouk: A captain of the NIGERIAN ARMY directed that all shld go inside and you were still explaining.......... he even pushed you and you had the guts to ask the captain if he cld push his sister like that walahi u get luck na only spine you damage..
shows how rude you are.
B.C.

i do not know how old or educated you are. But from your comment and from the way you revere a captain in manifest trepidation and subservience you're obviously a very young lad. pls who the hell is a captain in the army A very very junior officer. Just above 2nd lieutenant and lieutenant!! Some of us in this forum are his senior in government service and would be his very far senior in the military if we had toed that line. In any case does his being a captain give him the right to physically abuse an unarmed civilian thereby occasioning grievous bodily harm A lady for that matter. In my over ten years of legal practice I have come to see that "damages" is a relief few Nigerians know how to push for in court. I wish the young would emulate the other lady, Okere, who Was awarded 100 million naira in damages when she sued the Chief of Air staff for vicarious liability after his boys humiliated and dragged her on the floor in lagos. I also want to assure you that this incident would cost the captain his job. The cheek of you to call her rude for asserting her rights in the face of a brute.

hmmmmm. When we moved to Abuja in june 1989 virtually all the houses in phase one i.e Garki, Wuse, Maitama and Asokoro were not fenced. It was so Serene, beautiful, peaceful and safe. Gradually Lagos people and the Noveau riche moved to town when government offices started moving, beginning from the very late 90s and early 2000s. Alas my dear Abuja is gradually turning to a concrete jungle. People now fence everything up including the sanitary lanes behind the flats.

i don't know Why, but when I saw the headline this morning on Weekend Trust my mind just told me that this would definitely be happening to a southern Christian.

I have performed the national anthem so many times with panache and distinction with the U.I students Choral Ensemble in Ibadan and my own choral group at state functions etc, here in Abuja. The simplicity of his arrangement and the sweetness of his harmony endears him to me. No wonder his own arrangement was selected out of all the entries by the Christopher Oyesiku led panel in 1978. Till date I still prefer his harmony of the anthem to other arrangements by Laz Ekwueme, Sam Ojukwu, etc which are rather too embellished and too flowery. The Abuja Choral Ensemble bids you adieu,

having lived here since 1989 i've witnessed these chases a couple of times.i just wonder why the hawkers wouldn't suddenly stop and beat the agberos black and blue.this is a very sad story. The law is made for man. And not vice versa.

A14 ,c29,c9,c2,c39 2005-2010[/quote]you stayed in A14? Nice. That was my room in 97/98 session. The ceiling was broken was broken and infested with rats. Before the renovation a year later.

Hmmmmm. I recognise the building. Though it wasn't buttery in our time. (1996-2002) Each time fire burns down a U.I structure (Queens Hall (Wooden blocks), Faculty of Arts), it takes a piece of history with it. Even if that Buttery is restructured it'll lack the old British touch. I recall when the Junior Common Room was painted and the Beautiful Art work by Demas Nwoko on the wall was covered with paint. I felt pained cos that beautiful work was painted in the 60s and served to beautify the JCR! By the way, Yours truly lived in Tedder all thru, in A64 (above the Dungeon), A14, A26, A32 and finally D7.

I'm not from Mbaise (I'm from Ngor/Okpala). I however understand the position and sentiments of Mbaise people on the matter, having " paid their dues" in Nigerian Catholicism& having quietly followed the trend in bishopric appointments. My grouse with them is that for about two whole years after the Bishop Chikwe passed on the clergy et al bickered endlessly amongst themselves about who'll succeed him, thus necessitating this intervention from Rome. If they had put their houses in order long ago there would have been no need for this impasse.

@Samir101ng: the 600m was allegedly found in his account. And not on him.
@black swan: please how would you have wanted to confirm the story and how have you been confirming the other stories from the jtf.

Had a similar experience. After we stopped 'dating' She started seeing my brother. And slept with him. Somehow somehow I got to know by happenstance after they had stopped seeing and she had become friendly with me again. I had no issues with her sleeping with the world, but my brother. Well, I invited her to my office, severely tongue lashed her till she broke down in tears. of course I also berated my brother severely in the strongest of terms without mincing words. I subsequently downgraded the relationship to a physical affair to get back my pound of flesh. Right now each time she talks about marriage I conveniently tell her we can't marry because she don chop my brother.

what of "Don't sH!t" . My grandma (bless her soul) didn't like that, if my memory serves me right. Lol.

Lol. Did all i could to destroy it, including taking my bath in it. Yet the bleeding thing refused to die. That period should be my saddest in secondary school.

I think it all stems from mother tongue and culture. Among our Owerri people, no matter how bona fide your intentions may be, you usually wouldnt ask your senior "I mena kp'ole"? Which is our dialectical equivalent of "how are you". It is customary for that question to come from the elder person. In the central Igbo also, i'm not sure i've ever asked someone older than me "Kedu" or "Olia", unless its someone i'm excessively familiar and playful with. It is only natural therefore for these cultural norms and observances to be carried into the English Language. Personally, I do not ask my seniors how they are without ending it with "sir" or "Ma" in order to fully demonstrate that I mean no slight. Conversely, if my junior would ask me that and sounds too confident and haughty I just wont bother responding.

This is the cover picture of the 2nd part of his biographical trilogy: Penkelemes.

Just retain the services of a good lawyer. The procedural rules of landlord and tenant matters are very technical. Just like in fundamental human rights and matrimonial causes. A single mistake can jeopardise your case and keep your tenant there endlessly. You should also read up the case of AP v. OWODUNNI (will supply citation later) it will broaden your mind better on the dangers of engaging in guesswork in this kind of thing.

God bless you all. I was in U.I from 96/97 session to 2001/2002 session. Faculty of Law, Tedder Hall HRC Clerk, Choirmaster at the Seat of wisdom Chaplaincy. Currently work with the FCT judiciary in a judicial capacity (lower bench). Schooling in UI (like my parents did) is one of the best things that has happened to me for a lot of reasons. I wish you all the best in your quests and endeavours. Always strive to be the best of what you are. Pax Domine sit semper vobiscum.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Yes it was ill advised simply because He failed to do what was right in the first instance!

How long should the people of baga wait for before they know that they have a President who truly cares about their existence?[/quote]opposition can go into the lions' den a million times if they want. After all the islamist terrorists arent after them.

ikechukz: OP with regards to #9, I can move my waist more than the average girl,Is it a turn on.

you be homo.

it was during Prof. Olikoye Ransome Kuti tenure as minister of health that Doctors transmogrified into demi-gods in the health sector, both in gaping pay disparity and in assuming certain positions as a birthright. Presently they're agitating, among other things, for the post of Surgeon-General to be created because there is a position for Attorney-General. Forgetting that the A.G is a constitutionally guaranteed position and indeed the only ministerial position that has a constitutional backing. Such is the nature of their peremptory and importunate demands.They'll embark on strike at the drop of a hat to press home and armtwist the Government to cave in to their preposterous cravings. doctors have embarked on more strikes than any other profession in the country. Ironically they should even be the last to strike given the humanitarian nature of their job&ought to borrow a leaf from other health professions in this regard .I doubt if the so called hippocratic oath means anything. I really blame successive government administrations for treating them with kid gloves and pandering to their ever whimsical and capricious demands. nonsense.

i've moved my salary account from there and almost emptied the account. They sent plenty harassing text messages followed by this preposterous email you talked about. I go soon close the account. Unless they agree to give me a loan on generous terms. Lol.

kulyie: you dont make an objective opinion of people from afar.you cannot study someone from afar and judge her based on her attitude,composure,personality etc from afar talkless of watching the person in one event less than 24hours so mr,kindly park well.united nations ko,united village ni :p

looks like you have some issues with comprehension. I said i met her. And you're talking of watching from afar. I encountered and interacted with her! She, M.I and myself were given awards for supporting the fight against human trafficking. She was the M.C too. So i made a clear statement of fact based on real evidence. Not hearsay or speculation. I know you're star-struck but facts are sacred.
