You can sell the car abeg, definately you can't maintain two cars since you are not working.
For those telling you to use the car for business, if your story is true, then its obvious you are from a rich background, i don't see the car generating as much monthly income for you as you may need putting Nigeria factor into this. Instead sell the car and use the money for a bigger investment if you know what i mean

3ace: But you'll hate it more when dirts are allowed to accumulate for years.

Tell me when those dirts were been taken out of the drainage, who packed them, Over the years you will observed that they usaully throw them around to fill the pot holes on the roads or left there to return back into the drainage path again

They are one of the few people exempted to carrying out their duties during those restricted ours. I believe this law was passed then when TV stations still open at 4 PM, where there were no internet services and very few people have access to satellite TVs. This seems to be the only way where information can get to the populace. With modernization and globalization now, i think this law need to be review.

Letf to me enviromental days should be cancelled, you will hate Lagos on enviromental days especially during rainy season.

Am a muslim and i must tell you this man must be a mad man, how can you compare yourself to the best of mankind, we haman only takes what we want and leave the other part of the Islamic teaching, Nigeria is secular state, the revenue given to Zafara and the northern senators comes from taxes paid buy Alcohol brewering companies, Hotels that allows fornications, banks that collected interest (riba), baba jebu companies that plays lottery and many more which Islam considered haram, if Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) were to be a life today, He will never have anything to do with that i have mentioned above, but, yet Yerima compare himself to Allah Message (S.A.W), yet cannot sacrifice the gain of this world.

If Aisha was betrothed to Prophet Mohammed at the age of 9 years, how many of his sa'aba (close followers) did it, in those days powerful and popular people are dreams of any woman irrespective of age, the possibility of a betrothed lady at mental and physical maturity to reject such person whom her fellow mates which they own is very slim. Things have really change now.

Yerima need to go back to Islamic schools and learn about Islamic judgement related to modern days. He should understand that not everything the Prophet (S.A.W) did he can do and their some things he did or judgement he made that might not be directly applicable in the world we live in now.

Yerima should stop using Islam to backup is selfish interest, Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W) never enter car or fly an aeroplane during His life time, if Yerima is using the Prophet (S.A.W) life style as a justification, then Yerima should henceforth avoid taking vehicle or plane to abuja, Saudi, etc, he should embark on his journey either by trecking, riding Horse or Camel.

Thank you my brother, the only civic right given to such person is the right to renounce her citizenship as a Nigeria ALONE, she can not vote, drive or do anything a person of 18 and above can do. thanks brother but blackberry would not allow them to listen and our hatred for Islam and the Huasa would not allow good judgement

Bakare can't say these things, i believe he is we educated, well informed about the issue and understand the unnecessary media uproar. so he can't be talking blindly like Stella Damascus

I think a lot of us are ignorance of what the issue is about and the contradiction in Nigeria constitution. I bet you that Yerima himself do not understand what exactly the issue was because if he does he would have realize that the law, i mean that particular subsection 4b of section 29 of the Nigeria constitution would favor him if it is removed rather than defending it. But really if Yerima wanted the constitution to acknowledge underage marriage, then he should be more concern about the Child Act of 2004 which abrogate the subsection 4b of section 29 of the constitution.

Please see the section 29 below, pay more attention to subsection 4.

29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.
(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.
(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under subsection (1) of this section if-
(a) the declaration is made during any war in which Nigeria is physically involved; or
(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to public policy.
(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.
(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above;
(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.

For the purpose of renouncing your citizenship as a Nigeria ALONE, subsection 4b of this section i.e. section 29, allowed any Nigeria under 18 years who is married, (either through force marriage, betrothed to another man or force marriage) the authority to renounce his/her Nigeria citizenship.
Giving out minors mostly the females ones is popular doing in African culture before civilization and modernization not only in Islam. Mostly this minor do not have any choice than to abide by the wish of their parent, i want to believe that subsection 4b of section 29 is an escape route for any minor that is forced into marriage.

I have come to realize that even our journalist refuse to be educated on this matter and this is more about citizenship than child right. We have to understand that this clause is only meant to renounce your citizenship and does not apply to voting or in any way prove that a minor has become of age as been insinuated by Medias and social networks. The minor in this case can ONLY renounce is citizenship but cannot vote, be send to normal jail, do any other thing a person above 18 years can do or be treated in any other way a person above 18 years can be treated.

Constitution Contradiction.

I believe the child act 2004 has made the subsection 4b of section 29 irrelevant and Yerima and co should be more worried about the child act of 2004 if truly they want to betroth their under age child out to another man and woman.
Nigeria need not worry about the removal or retaining subsection 4b of section 29 as the child act of 2004 has supersede and made it irrelevant anyway. Please read below prohibition of child marriage in the child act of 2004.

PART III
Protection of the Rights of a Child
21. Prohibition of child marriage
No person under the age of 18 years is capable of contracting a valid marriage, and accordingly a
marriage so contracted is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
22. Prohibition of child betrothal
(1) No parent, guardian or any other person shall betroth a child to any person.
(2) A betrothal in contravention of subsection (1) of this section is null and void.
23. Punishment for child marriage and betrothal
A person‐
(a) who marries a child; or
(b) to whom a child is betrothed; or
(c) who promotes the marriage of a child; or
(d) who betroths a child,
commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of N500,000; or imprisonment for a term of five
years or to both such fine and imprisonment.

Its very obvious that Nigerians are just a replicate of their leader, just like any other Nigerian, Yerima jumped up to defend his culture and religion without even knowing that the clause has been made irrelevant by the abduction of child Act of 2004.

.... ......'Enter the Dragon' Turns 40: What You Didn’t Know About Bruce Lee
Linda Lee Cadwell remembers her late husband Bruce Lee, seen left in 'Enter the Dragon,' 1973 (Everett/Getty)
Behind every great man is a great woman, and for martial arts legend Bruce Lee, that woman was Linda Emery, who married her dashing gongfu teacher in the mid-'60s. Linda and Bruce were husband and wife until July 20, 1973, when Bruce died of cerebral edema at the age of 32 ... just six days before the Hong Kong release of what many consider to be his greatest cinematic achievement, "Enter the Dragon."

Upon the 40-year anniversary of both the premiere of "Enter the Dragon" (which is now available in a 40th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray) and the untimely death of its star, we spoke with Linda Lee Cadwell (who has since remarried) about her late husband's legacy and how his abilities and philosophies have inspired countless others to reach their full potential — and beyond.

BRYAN ENK: Does it feel like 40 years have passed since "Enter the Dragon" was first released?

LINDA LEE CADWELL: [Laughs] No, I was actually quite shocked when I realized, "40 years?!" It's a lifetime, to be sure. And like you, a lot of the people who admire "Enter the Dragon" and Bruce were not even born at the time when he was alive. That does put it in perspective and makes it seem like 40 years have passed.

BE: "Enter the Dragon" is considered to be one of the best martial arts films of all time, if not the best. What do you feel have been the most influential aspects of the film over the past four decades and what has made it stand the test of time so well?

LLC: Well it certainly is the gold standard of martial arts films and certainly inspired the genre altogether. I think it's quite obvious really that the outstanding thing about "Enter the Dragon" was Bruce. The storyline is really nothing spectacular and the technical qualities are fine, but the thing that makes it really stand out is of course Bruce. And the parts of it that people admire so much are on different levels — a person can look at "Enter the Dragon" and admire the physicality of it, the combat, the choreography inspired and performed by Bruce, or they can take it a step further and see that there are bits of philosophical wisdom in it, also inspired by Bruce.


BE: Do you have a particularly good behind-the-scenes memory from when the film was in production, something that happened on or off the set?

LLC: Oh my, yes! Bruce had been wanting to do a Hong Kong/American co-production for a long time, that had been his goal when he first went to Hong Kong to make films, that one day the filmmakers in the West would realize his value and talent and would be ready to do something with him. So it was an important landmark for him and it was important for him that the film be a success. So he put his heart and soul in it, and he was very insistent on some changes to the script. Some people have made the comment that he was very nervous to start the film, that he was on the edge of a nervous breakdown because he was so uptight about the film and making sure it was a success but that was not really the case — he just had some very important things to say about the script and how he wanted the film to be and very insistent on some changes. And I must say that in light of 40 years and we're still looking at this movie that he was right, and it's because of Bruce and his insisting on doing certain things and adding certain parts to the film that it's been such a success for four decades.

BE: My favorite part of the film is the "Hall of Mirrors" scene. It's a terrific sequence — the choreography, the building tension and there's something truly iconic about the imagery of the bloody scratches on Bruce's chest. Do you have a favorite scene from the film?

LLC: Well, of course all the combat scenes are spectacular and unmatched over all these years, but my favorite parts of the film are the more philosophical points that Bruce brings to the picture. For instance, when he's talking to the young boy and teaching him — that kind of thing makes the film more than an adventure and a "violent film," it gives it more substance.

BE: How did you and Bruce first meet?


Linda Lee, Brandon Lee, and Bruce Lee, circa 1970 (Photo: Everett)LLC: [Laughs] It's a fun story, actually! I was a senior in high school in Seattle, Washington at Garfield High School. And Bruce used to come to my school, he was five years older and a student of Philosophy at the University of Washington, he was friends with the philosophy teacher at my high school. So he would come to my high school to give lectures on Chinese philosophy; I was not in that class but I can tell you that every girl at my school knew when Bruce Lee was in the house because he was so dashing and so handsome. And one of my girlfriends who happened to be Chinese was taking gongfu lessons from him. And so the summer after I graduated from high school she talked me into taking gongfu lessons with Bruce, so that's how we first met — I was his student and it wasn't long before I was more interested in the teacher than the martial art, though I continued to do it for quite a while. [Laughs]

BE: Bruce is known for founding a martial arts practice and philosophy known as Jeet Kune Do. How would you describe the basic fundamentals of that?

LLC: Well, Bruce would never have described it as a "system," because a "system" is an organization of certain rules and his way of martial arts did not have any set rules — it is what is best for the individual person who is learning it. There was an aura of just responding to what "is" in martial arts, so you would not have a particular set of movements in response to, say, an attack — like in some forms of karate it's like "Well, I will punch in a certain way, I will do this or that in certain sequence." Bruce's art was not like that — it flowed, like he often said, like water flows and can fit into any container, it flowed to fit into any situation that was presented. So that's why he called it his "way" of martial arts, not a "system" of martial arts.

There's a great deal more to it as well, and there are fundamentals to it so that it can be carried on for generations, as it is now. But it's also a way of personal growth, to learn more about yourself — as Bruce used to say, all knowledge is really self-knowledge, you learn more about yourself and how to fit into a variety of situations. So, in a nutshell, that's a way of describing it.


BE: Do you have a particularly good memory involving a fan of Bruce's, either an encounter with a fan or a story that a fan told about Bruce?

LLC: Actually, there are so many that I can lump them all into one person, in a way. [Laughs] I've received letters over the years and had personal acquaintance with so many people who have told me how they're truly so inspired by Bruce. And most of the time, especially after the passing of 40 years, it's because of a wanting to model Bruce as a way of life, in a way of improving their own lives. So not so much "Well, I want to be a martial artist" or "I want to learn how to beat up people" — I think many years ago that was the first thing that impressed people, his fighting ability, but I think after all these years people have discovered there were many more layers to Bruce and he was a person of great depth.

And he did an immense amount of writing, which we are blessed today to still have and has been reproduced a number of times in different forms and I think people use that as an inspiration to improve their own lives.

BE: The 1993 film "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" is mostly based on your 1975 book, "Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew." How do you feel about the film — was it a good adaptation or was it missing something?


LLC: I have mixed feelings about the film. On the good side I think it hit on the high points of Bruce's life, the turning points, you might say. For instance, when he hurt his back and then he was laid up for six months, in bed a lot of the time, unable to be his usual physical self -- the doctors told him he would be unable to ever do gongfu again and all this stuff. That was certainly a turning point in his life, though the injury did not happen in the way they showed it in the film — they felt they had to make it more dramatic. But the point is he hurt his back and he used that time, the six months or more that he was laid up, to produce most of his writings — the philosophical writings about his method of combat, all kinds of things.

So the film took some liberties, it changed some facts, it had a mythical figure in it that I would not have agreed with but that a person can view on different levels. So there were good things and there were some not so good things and I hope that some day a really wonderful film is made about Bruce.

BE: What are you dedicating your time to these days?

LLC: I have a wonderful life going on. I have a great husband named Bruce Cadwell, I live in Idaho, and between us we have nine grandchildren; I have one grandchild, my daughter's daughter who is ten years old and I like to spend a lot of time with her.


Actually, you know, my daughter Shannon has taken over the role of perpetuating and preserving her father's legacy, so I just show up at certain times and of course I'm interested in that goal as well and we have larger goals of some day wanting to build the Bruce Lee Action Museum and people in Seattle are very interested in sponsoring that. It's a long-term project and that's what we're aiming at in the long run.

you no just serious, take this to joke section please

ayox2003: Those who call GEJ a clueless president have no clue what he's capable of.

‎​They said he's cool, gentle, soft and clueless, yet he increased the price of fuel, making the spending power of nigerian reduce. Since he increased the price of fuel, average nigerians have been finding it very difficult to spend money.

He's clueless, yet he didn't bring the perpetrators- the cabals to book. Not even one of them has been nailed.

‎​He's clueless, yet he rubbished the recommendations of Ribadu.

‎​He's clueless, yet he forgave Alams and paid Fasheun N2bn while youths are unemployed.

He's clueless, yet he sought to increase his tenure to 7years immediately he was voted in.

‎​He's clueless, yet he said 'I dont give a damn' on nattional TV.

‎​The clueless man just booted Amaechi out by force.

I remember some people in Port-Harcourt died durring his presidential campaign because it was over-crowded. Hahahaha. Keep calling him clueless while he goes to church tomorrow where gullible folks will say "He is god-sent".

Until nigerians separate emotions,looks and ethnicity from a proven track-record, they will keep getting a dose of 'cluelessness'.


Frawzey

Well said Pal, the guy seems to be smarter than what be people think, how i wish he uses this smartnest in the right way.

The next thing is for them to impeach him, i hope Amaechi has enough friends in Rivers House of Assembly. If not he should see himself out.

Next he would ask for the month before changing name
