This is really sad, my dear. I thoroughly feel your pain. Under the former government I may have been able to intervene, one way or the other. But these guys play their cards close to their chest.
It must be a trick of the devil to be born in a country where neither merit nor talent is encouraged, recognised or rewarded.

Not new. That's the kind of thing that happens with this administration. our choir was retained to sing at a national event. SGF released our money. A minister in charge and his S.A pocketed it. Till today we haven't receive a dime. Since 2016. we never had this experience under previous administrations. Its well.

UI uses 7, and has never used 5. Talk less of 4

Sorry. We thank God for your survival. Head to Apo Mechanic village. Call Boss on 08023569100. He's been doing work for us since 2001, including when a trailer hit one of our vehicles. Tell him that "judge" gave u his number. it would attract u a discount and prompt attention.

wow.

nice one. medical doctors start on level 12. that shd be the target.

This picture is misleading. It was taken in May 2015. after Buhari has already won the elections. it was the only one he attended.

Samusu:
What will their present add?

presence. not present.

Congratulations to Dr. Ayo Oluranti, the HOD of the Music Department.

Oga take us thru how u swallowed the 36M

Yes. In 1998 when Pope John Paul II rode in it along Festival Road Abuja, he waved to me and I waved back.
add am to the list.

“…I believe in safety first, if you see anybody holding arms and wants to attack, please don’t waste time”. These were the orders from Konongo Divisional police commander, Superintendent Bossman Ohene-Boadi. 

He was speaking to the about 200 combined military and police force deployed to evacuate the Fulani nomads from the Asante Akyem North and Sekyere Afram Plains Districts in the Ashanti Region, when he made the comments. 

He ordered the team of armed military and police force to shoot on sight in the wake of the slightest threat. 

Supt. Boadi painted a horrific picture of the nomads when he addressed the battle-ready men in uniform as they set off to evacuate nomadic Fulani herdsmen from Agogo land. 

“…They are not people we have to toil with, they are dangerous, if you joke with them, they will take your life”, he said.

The Fulani herdsmen have over the years been accused of destroying farmlands of Agogo residents and at times killing the farmers. 

Three soldiers and a police officer were left in critical condition after being ambushed and shot by persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on Monday at Agogo on their normal operation. 

The security personnel deployed at Asante Akyem North and Sekyere Afram Plains Districts have therefore been told to defend themselves. 

“…Are Fulanis better than us? Can they shoot better than us? Nobody should die in the bush, no risk taking”, he added.

SheIsElle:
Lol. Well a lot has changed since your time. In my own time, no form of punishment whatsoever, both from the senior students or teacher. No difficult manual labour. In fact these days they train you to be lazy.

O yes. we get stories of the life of luxury there now. a few of my classmates have their kids there. We also get to meet the millennials at alumni meetings.
MCA was a labour camp in our time. we practically built the school ourselves. The feeding was TERRIBLE. The Marist brothers could afford to do that then because they had the monopoly of quality education in Eastern Nigeria. its no longer the case now. plenty good schools have sprung up. some of my contemporaries still bear grudges against the school.
But I still believe they meant well.

SheIsElle:
Marist comprehensive Academy, the best place to be.

LWKMD. this life sef. well I understand u guys are living in luxury now. It wasn't like that in the 80s and 90s. I don't even know where to start from. on one occasion we were even ordered to go dig a grave for an abandoned corpse at the burial ground near the school area. during night prep. we also had to evacuate a filled soakaway pit with our buckets. the Marist brothers were rather crude in their method. well-intentioned though. by the way, I'm of the 1994 set.

Didn't see ur message.

Shalomdee:
Thanks, I will probably need to send you a message to be clarified

wicked

Hmmmmmmm
Ive handled many cases like this in the past decade or so.
Traditionally, in most customs, the child of an unmarried woman belongs to her father.
Nonetheless, in any matter relating to the guardianship and custody o children the interest and welfare of the child shall be the first and paramount consideration.
Go to Court. (Customary Court, or Family Division of the High Court) Prove that u can take better care of the child and that the respondent is irresponsible and wayward. The younger the child, the easier for you. Msg me if you have further problems. Good luck

sad

Are you writing as a layman or as a lawyer. Sounds more like the former.

HumanistMike:
The comedian knows he stands no chance in court.

In a counter suit, he'll have to prove in court yung6 has no hits which means, he'll have to define what a "hit" is. At that point, his defence will be "oh, I was just joking".

So he knows if he sues yung6's DJ and dude has difficulties proving his wife used to be a cheerful giver, the DJ will be quick to say "oh, I was just joking o. It's all entertainment" and that will be the end.

I'm glad the DJ gave akpororo a taste of the ills of his art. You can't cause someone emotional pain just to further your career. Don't try to fall people so you can use them as a ladder!

For those that feel the DJ went to far, I'll say this:
IN AN ALTERCATION, THE MOMENT YOU PUT HANDS ON A PERSON, ALL GLOVES ARE OFF. AT THAT POINT, YOU LOSE THE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE A RETALIATION. IT WONT BE A CASE OF "I DIDNT HIT YOU HARD" OR "I HIT YOU IN SUCH N SUCH PLACE SO YOU GOTTA HIT ME IN THE SAME SPOT" NO! JUST BRACE YOURSELF FOR WHATEVER RETALIATION YOU GET.

Be smart yall!

wow

I understand Femi Falana SAN has taken up his matter. The boy is very lucky. I'm sure the learned silk will adopt the diplomatic approach. Wise counsel would prevail. I hope the boy has leant his lesson too.

Ibironke? You be senior bros o!!!!!! Respect.
We were the last set of Jegede.

hardbody:
Lol. I find that omnibus clause very interesting. They can use the fit and proper clause to disqualify anyone at anytime even when you have already qualified or even a silk.

I recall when I was enrolling at the Supreme Court and there were some delays. In anger i tapped at a certain gentleman who was helping to manage the situation, unknown to me, he was a judge. The man challenged me to tap him again and see whether my certificate will not be withdrawn. Them no born me well na, i chilled and humbled myself. The man spotted me from afar again and came to tell me that I am not fit and proper to be called to Nigerian Bar. I stood up and mildly begged the man oooo.

Those were the days of Baba Ibironke

Just read something about him on an Abuja Lawyer's WhatsApp forum:

"I'm a bit familiar with the facts of this case. He started his Law office attachment with a firm I frequent often. That young man, with all due respect, never comported himself as one aspiring to be a lawyer. He was eventually sent packing from that Law firm because of his overbearing attitude. He had petitioned the Law firm to the NBA alleging bias against him. He did this without first laying his complaints before the Principal."
"That guy never acted normal. He seemed afflicted with something. How else do you explain an intern talking to his Principal, a Prof and SAN while pocketing his hands! He was corrected yet he never took correction.
He insisted on sitting in a particular section of the office even when a room was assigned to him. He complained of everything!!"

To me, this is a classical case of
"Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat." (those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make Mad)
I pray they take him back, though. His parents would be very distressed by now. He's clearly an exuberant and misguided youth.

Big fat lie.
ive been on Nairaland.com since 2006 and on Facebook since 2007. never have I witnessed what is happening now. Its simply shocking. we all used to have fun, gist like brothers and sisters and make intelligent contributions to issues, devoid of ethnic jingoism.
The blame therefore lies with this adminstration, its heavy and divisive propaganda during the elections that brought it in, and the 97%, 5% pronouncement and practice of its principal. I blame this administration. The good thing is that they can right the wrongs if they want to, rather than criticise social media, on who's back they rode into office.

i need one for my choir. can I see some of ur samples?

So sad that one cant even recognise Super Eagle's players by name or by face. I REALLY miss the 80s and the 90s. How art the mighty fallen?

i dunno. but i know that when we were admitted to read law in ui, my friend was also doing ND Masscom in Ibadan Poly. by the time we were in 500 level he was already wrapping up his HND in the same course.
today he has a flourishing legal practice in Abuja.

The Magnificat

My soul now glorifies The Lord who is my Saviour, Rejoice for who am I, That God has shown me favour.
The world shall call me blessed And ponder on my story, In me is manifest God's greatness And his glory.
For those who are is his friends And keep his laws most holy, His mercy is never ends, And he exalts the lowly.
But by his power the great The proud, the self-conceited, The kings who sit in state, Are humbled and defeated
He feed the starving poor, He guides his holy nation, Fulfilling what he swore, Long since in revelation.
The glorify with me The Lord who is my Saviour One Holy Trinity Forever and forever.
