Please find some answers to your questions, these are my opinion though!!

I have some questions here.


1. Did this guy commit any offense by "toasting" his female lecturer?
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]Answer here is no, he did not commit any offense by toasting his female lecturer, however there are codes of conduct guiding all lecturers among which is having relationships with students, luckily, she followed laid down rules by reporting the inappropriate advance from your cousin.

2. Is it right for the department to have denied him opportunity to graduate because of this?
The institution did not deny him an opportunity to graduate as his Project work was still in progress

3. Can he complain to the authority of the institution about this? What will he say he did to have been denied opportunity to graduate?

Unfortunately, I see no case here, under what s your cousin making the complain, the school authority did the right thing by reassigning your cousin a new project supervisor when the first supervisor reported that the student-lecturer relationship has been bridged when your cousin made the advance to his supervisor.


4. Has the department committed any offence against this boy as touching his fundamental human rights?
No offense is committed here

5. Can he seek legal redress?
I am not a lawyer, however from experience and similar cases like this, your cousin has no case

Thank you all.

What childhood dream did you have but unfortunately Nigeria happened to you?

I wanted to be a doctor but ended up a teacher, what about you?

Smiling while writing this, First, in my primary school days, I wanted to be a truck driver, I mean articulated trucks with a minimum of 22 tires

Fast forward to secondary school days, junior secondary school days, it was soldier, I really wanted to be a soldier.

Discovered Physics in my Senior class and my dream changed to be a great and renowned Physics like Albert Einstein, after writing my

SSCE, I went back to being a soldier again, after countless applications to NDA and I could not make the cut, then I was way above the

entry age, I dejectedly try the university, entered Physics as my course of study, and made it on 2nd attempt. Then FUTO now came with no

combining of results, and I had to go for another course (This was a blessing in disguise).

Today, as they say, the rest is history, currently practising what I read in Uni and really enjoying it.

Although not venomous, completely harmless? Not true.

Your words are true, however, I happen to be an indigene of one of the towns in Idemili South LGA and I can tell you for free that Pythons in our areas are harmless to humans, they can be a nuisance, but they are very harmless and will not attack human even when provoked. Just let it go on its way and if it is obstructing you, get a long stick and move it out of your way.

I do not know about pythons from other areas but it is what it is, in my place.

Some that scored 130 won't be admitted while some with less than 10 would be admitted on merit. When are we going to do away with this madness and let human capacity development be on merit only basis?

I will keep saying it, Power for equity should return to the South. The North has been there for eight years, it is now the turn of the South.

The zoning system up there for entrance into our unity schools should be an eye-opener. why not allow the same rule for governance and

power rotation?

We allow this to fly, but when it comes to government and politics, we all say let merits reign, i.e there should be no zoning. Who is fooling

who?

Let us not be fast at condemning him, many people like him who believe that it is right for power to shift to the south will have to make a decision between Obi and Jagaban. His call was for Jagaban. it is what it is.

He is among those that rightly believe power would move to the south after 8 years in the North and I see nothing wrong in it. I also rightly believe it is time for power rotation to the south after the North has had it for 8 years. Whichever vehicle would be used in actualizing this power movement does not matter.

And to be fair, it is time for power to move to the south.

My people please I need your advice.

I'm having a lil loggerhead with my Fiance.

My fiance works in a company, which doesn't give him time to come home or live in his rented apartment for long.
I currently run a confectionery shop in my father's house.

My Fiance however wants to have a joint account with me when we get married soon in this my confectionery business. According to him, he'll support me, to help him get free in the future to stop his salary work and probably start another business without affecting the family.

But I don't want to have any joint account or partner with anyone in this my confectionery business. I want my business without any check or partner.
He's insisting on joint account to run the business and its getting into our relationship.

Please what do you advice?

Dear OP,

This is really a red flag, you are not yet married and he is insisting on a joint account? Let him know that you will always support him both

financially and otherwise, (and be honest with this, if you can't there is no need for you guys to be married together), but respectively let him

know you would like to operate your account on your own, if he insists on a joint account or no married, my sister, I am a man, married for 8

years, just take a walk from that relationship, it is not worth it, he is a control freak in the making, and there are signs that he might in future

let you handle all the family bills alone.

Reading this piece and some comments here have really waken my consciousness, whether we like it or not, there is this unconscious bias we have developed for anything local or African.

Let us start with our kids, I have seen videos of where black kids were presented a white and black doll to make a choice from and guess what?, almost 98% of the kids in the study went for the white doll. This conditioned way of thinking has made us believe anything associated with the back is wrong/bad. It is so so bad. Even in the Western world, its unfortunate to see even Black Americans racially discriminating against fellow blacks from African origin.

This is the reason many of us believe it is until we Japa, that is when we can make it. We are all guilty of this. We have unconsciously taken it down to animals. I was thinking of getting a pet dog for my daughter, I have made lots of research on dog breeds to choose from, but from this writes up, I am going for a very local breed, yes you get me right, I will get an Ekuke or your ordinary bingo for my daughter.

Let us be reminded that our breed of local dogs still has their original genome sequence intact, reasons they have high adaptability, compared to those foreign breeds that are crosses of crosses of hybride dogs, most are not original, and from the basics in genetics, we know the effects of excess recessive genes when they are cross breed frequently.

The truth is that our weakest link is in our leadership, however, I believe things will only get better, it might not be in our generation, but then I still believe we will get it right. Let us learn to believe in ourselves.

I pray we all Africans wake up from our mental slavery and know how to cherish our own. Remember the saying, "Monkey no fine, but I'm mama like am" .

Brother nothing happened to you, your palate changed and the taste of it changed too. It has been proven scientifically that our palate changes after every 7 years. Growing up, I detested beans and would give all manners of excuses to avoid having it for meal, but look at me now, seems I'mloving that food now.[1quote author=CoronaVirusPro post=111474951]I use to love beans so much way back. It was a daily thing and probably the reason I am tall. I just don't know what happened between us, I detest it so much now and not had a spoon in a decade.

I ate that meal everyday for like a decade of my life. I doubt if I would ever be inlove with anything again like the way I did with beans[/quote]

This was in FUTO, in my 300Levels, the course was Maritime Insurance. The lecturer was this strict no-nonsense lecturer, that ought to have been a prof, but was still marking time as a Doc. During this course, I noticed the material, Maritime Act he was using to teach was an outed one, there has been a recent update to the Maritime Act. Some of us in the class who has been reading ahead all knew the materials the Doc. was quoting from were obsolete but none wanted to make this know to Mr Lecturer.

I am the type that says it the way it is and will prefer to give it out with my bare hand than wearing hand gloves. So in one of these lectures, I was so bored and restive, cause I know that the information being shared was old and mainly outdated. I raised my hand to make a contribution, and when I was signalled to go ahead, I politely and kindly informed the lecturer that that particular Act we using currently using was outdated and quoted the current Act to him, with some changes. There was a heavy silence in the class. Next thing, I was ordered to leave the class by the lecturer. Even some classmates advised me to leave, but I am this heard strong guy that will never be intimidated, I refused. The class ended with the lecturer walking out of the class.

The lecturer never attended that class again till our exams, all he did was share the lecture materials with our course rep. The whole class all got the material, I inclusive. On the day we were to write the exam for that course, everyone in the class knew for certain that I will be having that particular course a carryover. I prepared well for the course, went in and wrote the exams.

In the next sessions when the result was out, the course was my main focus, everyone in my class was eager to know my score in the course. When I entered the said Lecturer's office to get my grades, he was not too happy to see me, and after going through his grading list, he told me I had a "B" (Mind you I gave all my best for the course my worst-case scenario for that course was a "C") in the course and congratulated me on it. This made me respect him the more and I apologised to him during our last class encounter. Prof. Nwokoro, May God continue to bless you as you never victimized me, even when you had every reason to.

Nice topic OP, I am happy where I am now, I started out with a toxic boss, the type that whenever a message drops into your outlook and its his name, you are already on your edges. My God those years in PH were my worst years, there are days I wake up, I just feel deflated, the urge and zeal to go to work are just not there, even when all my KPIs are at the top. Made lots of savings in our departmental budget, a major fallout entails the dramatic reduction of 3PL providers. These and more drew the hell on me. Even when funds from my departmental budget under my purview and control was been used to charge for expenditures in other activities outside my TORs, I made no noise about it and let sleeping dogs lie (Done by my boss, a vivide occasion he made an expenditure for the purchase of an automatic sweeper machine, cost 12M, (real cost 6M) on my budget, while he has his own budget) , yet it still would not make my boss happy. I did all I could to optimize resources within the department, initiated new KPIs, brought out new actionable benchmarks far above the existing ones, yet to my direct boss I was distorting the cart.

Even when I had my first baby and son, I was not given a day off, I remember I had to join my wife in the hospital after the closing of work. It was that bad. I finally left, stayed 1 year and 6 months without a job, and also with our second child, a daughter. This happens without any medical insurance (As I have left the company) and then later within the year, losing our last savings of 2M naira to MMM.

However, God is God and the break came in the Dec. of 2016, Maiduguri it stated and a female boss. Where ever you Ms, Patience Foya, a nice Zimbabwean lady, my God will always keep and protect you always. With her, I knew the workplace is meant to be like a team, we all succeed if we work together. From here, I learned, been a team player does not end at getting your part of the job done rightly rather getting your job done rightly and assisting others lagging within the team to also get their parts done rightly.

To show you how good she was, my direct boss gave me the link to a job opening with my current job description in another agency that pays double what my current employer pays and really encouraged me to apply, as the job is a good fit and I would also have a more bright and wider scope of job experience there. This is basically against all referrer ethics, but she did it because she saw what I did not see. This I did, and true to her, I got the offer after all the rigorous and lengthy written and oral interview sessions.

Coming to this new organization, I was also lucky to have one of the best in our field for a boss. Desalegn Seifu Damtew, my supervisor in this new organization was all I could ask for, a father, a boss, a colleague and a friend all in one package. By the way, he is an Ethiopian and one of the best. He really exposed me to lots of training materials and further training in the organization. In all so grateful for these wonderful angels in human form. Seems I am been repaid for all the ordeals I went through in my first workplace with the toxic boss. My goal now is to replicate all the benefits I have enjoyed from these wonderful bosses to colleagues I am currently supervising.

In all, a good boss will bring out the best you never know is in you.

This is really great!!! so proud of Nigeria. Let us all patronize made in Nigeria products, imagine we have this combined DICON for all our military needs, Innoson and other made in Nigeria automobiles manufacturers for civilian vehicle requirements, Dangote Bua and the rest for our cement, then we also issue out more licences for Modular refineries.... Nothing stops Nigeria from being a world power. I just pray the government of the day supports private Nigeria homegrown industries. Gradually, we will get there. So proud of Proforce Team, keep it up/

Quality control should be taken seriously in this country. We can’t keep wasting people’s lives. Casualties might not be much if the Emergency guys arrives early. Unfortunately, this is Nigeria where a pizza delivery is faster than Nigeria Emergency team. Shame!

Thank you my brother, the issue here is purely quality control. I recently had an experience with a friend who went to Steel Village in PH to purchase some rods for his construction project. On his list were various lengths of rods he will need to buy. My friend not wanting to be short-changed by the engineer decided to buy his material himself so I tugged along.

Within the steel village, when we made enquiry for 16mm, 12mm, and 10mm rods, low and behold what we were shown were 14mm,10mm and 8mm in places of 16, 12 and 10mm. The friend is not so technical when it comes to issues like this, I now had to call his attention to the quality of the rods, alas, when I now informed the sellers that these grades of steel were below the actual steel, they all came out to say it is the Economy, it is affecting everything even quality of many products. At the end of the, we actually got our listed rod at the right quality but at a far higher price. This is the state of the country. Had I not been with my friend and he made his purchases and left if tomorrow something happens and the building collapse, we all start shouting Engineers, but in actual fact, the strength of materials used was far below standards.

I remember telling them that many collapsing structures most times are as a result of their activities, compromising with the quality of materials on sale to inexperienced buyers. The stated quantity of material needed for a building project is bought, however, the quality is far below standard quality. Check out many consumer products like your normal satchel peak milk, the 1g sachet, same thing, weight far below 1g and then the quality of the milk is also far below normal quality yet, the price is on a daily increase, look around you, its also happening with other consumer products and unfortunately in the building industry, it is very fatal when projects like this fail.

To me, prices can be increased but let the quality of the product not be tampered with.

May God help the trapped victims and keep them safe.

Guy sorry to say this but na you get problem here. It is public transport and first come first serve. She was there before you came, how do you now expect her to give up her space for you? and did you even ask politely? guess not from your writes up. Attitude matters a lot, and from your writes up, you seems to be the type of guy that believes that a man is always right. This is wrong, give respect, not because of gender, religion, sex or age but because it is appropriate.

Thanks Chief, your service is top notch and I appreciate the fact you offer home service. Rocking the game with my boy here.

Here's what his console looks like before doing our little magic on it.

sarrki:
I totally agree with the part that no negotiations with terrorist,

I don’t agree with the part of killing innocent students or victims coz of the negligence of both state , federal and locals that aid and abets criminals

MY brother, its not as straightforward as you would think. When it is not your own blood that is held by the bandits, its easy to say, "no negotiation with Bandits" however when your relative is involved, you will definitely have a change of view.

For me, I would say there should be no negotiations with Bandits/Terrorist when all the security arms of the country are up and doing, this is unfortunately not what is obtainable here, our security architecture is in a serious mess now, and to me, do all you can to get your relatives or loved ones out from the grip of those terrorists when they are held captive, as it is now everyone for his/her self, even if it means paying Ransome to get them out, by God's grace, source for it and get them out.

In a more civilized clime, where things are functional, this is where that saying works, as everyone is a testament to an efficient and well-oiled state security architecture. Even over there, relatives of abducted persons have 100% confidence in their security structure, in Nigeria, how many of us have that same confidence here?

I know a story of a man that went to report a case of kidnapping to a police Post, the officers on duty asked him to calm down that they (the kidnappers ) will surely call and state their terms..... just imagine. So do not be fast to conclude on no negotiation with bandits in the Nigeria context, just because you are not affected.

May God see us through the trying times.

Wow this is really a good move. The state from January 23rd has been in darkness, as a result of the consistent attacks on the national electric grid infrastructure by the Bokoharam guys.

It will really give the state a reprieve. This project is so on point. Good one by Mele Kyari, may this not end up on prototype stage.

On the Jail Break and attack on Imo Police Command

To me, many tales are not adding up, how would some unknown gun men attack a location as secure as the the IMO state Police Command Headquarters. The location for those who have not been in owerri Town is one of the most secured part of the town. The state Government House is close by, so how can the command be attacked with all the attendant damages been showed on screens.

The IPOB I have come to know take responsibility for all their activities, so they coming out to deny responsibility for this attacks in the state also seems odd.

On this attack, no single casualty was recorded, on the part of the police and the unknown gunmen, this rings a very loud bell to me, first Red Flag.

The IGP was very fast in coming out with the identities of the attackers on the Imo state Police Command, this is odd to me, as in many instances where we had had issues like this, it is either investigations is ongoing or "suspected A or B" is used when describing the attackers, but in this case, seems we have a written script whose actors where in a hurry to execute. Second Red flag

Prior to this attack, there was another attack in Ebonyi state, where citizens were attacked by alerged cattle rustlers. The IGP did not deem it relevant to visit the affected state.

Finally, my summary here is that some the incident at Owerri Police Command and the state corrections services was a fine written script, but execution was poor, had I managed that stage, I would have come out with fictitious names of officers who were injured, with good noolly wood custume effects while defending their post and also show videos of bandits that paid the supreme price, then do some evidence planting, pointing fingers to targeted scape goats.

I believe the IGP was too fast in the execution of his part of the script and many Nigeria are beginning to ask questions, so he just have to go and for good measure, after all his term is over.

All opinions stated here are my own views

STARGREEN:
Congratulations @Obaseki.
Congratulations @Edo State.
Congratulations @PDP.
Congratulations @all positive vibes.

This is good news, full of joy and excitement...may it last long.

Again, @Obaseki be careful in welcoming those
that left to APC. Quite sure it's politics but it shows that they don't believe in your ideology...never use emotions to welcome them, think twice before you do.
Yes Edo may sound like Eko...
Yet Edo no be Eko.

Please may you never fail Edo people as you will need them someday.

What if those guys that defected were all part of the plan...... his own trojan horse, just maybe

It depends on what you want, I am married to the best woman in the world, I am just 7 days older than her. You ask what the experience has been like? I will answer awesome. The best decision of my life so far. We got married before our 30th birthday

Believe me, sowore my have his flows, but if everybody continue to fold their arms and let things go without maning up to their responsibilities of doing things and obeying court orders, believe me, one day, our families may fall victims of this kind of pain.


Nigeria of today, has become too hot to the extent that even if you are right, and you are not in the good book of the government, you will be dealt with seriously.

But what I believe in is that nobody will go unpunished, I mean nobody.

If you do wicked today and believe you finally go free, remember you have a generation to suffer the bad things you have done to others.

Things might be rosy at first with your generstions, but they will surely suffer it later in future.

Even if they are all man of God, believe me they will suffer, it is written in the Bible.

Don't live for today only but for tomorrow too.

Where were you when this same Sowore was publishing damning and unfounded allegations against GEJ, guess you were also among those that took part in the various rallies to shut down Nigeria. We are all in it, let us steam in it, maybe after this, we will learn to get things right.

Flexherbal:
Anybody who supports this, is one of the problems of Nigeria.

Do they not believe in the judicial system?

Whoever that is supposed to call these people to order and has not done so, is an enemy of democracy.

Or, is that what they call "Due Process?"


Papa Ola, nor allow mama Ola disgrace you like dis for Bedmatics oooo.
Help yourself with our Herbal Tea For Men. We believe in "Due Process"

My brother, Sorry for you, when this Sowore was busy maligning the person of GEJ, writing all sorts of fabricated stories that were not confirmed, no one made any comments, now the chickens have come to roost!!! the little snake it was feeding have grown of age and its appetite is now ripe for human and who else, seems the handler here. He was very instrumental in bringing the government to power. I so love what is going on.

We are all in this together.

Peace

FreemanTJ:
She thanked me for telling the truth, we continued playing chess but it wasn't as often. One time we were playing and started teasing sexually, she played along and was surprised I even mentioned anything sexual. Few months after, I got married but never mentioned it to her. I fear I might lose her while going through a marriage I never wanted.
During this period I withdrew from all form of communication, I was trying to figure out my life yet distracted. She kept sending messages on WhatsApp which I ignored until after about 2 months, I responded and she was upset that after connecting so well I suddenly withdrew.
She asked if I had a meltdown or emotional breakdown which I denied. Just told her I was detoxing from social media but I was back for good. So we continued chatting for another 3 months and decided we saw a movie together. After the movie I told her I wanted to see more of her. Eventually after some weeks, I invited her over and we got intimate. It wasn't the best of experience for her as she claims to have been celibate for over a year.

When she got home that night we discussed our sex extensively and she said she has never experienced orgasm and has always had painful. I felt I could change that experience for her. The next time she came over she asked if I truly had a gf since we spend alot of time communicating online, this time around I said I did but due to the distance we had issues and the rship isnt heading anywhere. I knew it was selfish of me but I wasn't ready to let go. After the third attempt she had her 1st orgasm and i could tell she wasn't ready to let go either.

After a while she got suspicious, she would tell me she had a dream of a short black lady chasing her out of my room and I kept reassuring her it was impossible but she kept insisting this dreams were recurring but I kept denying I had a gf or wife. She described my wife perfectly and I just wondered how some people are gifted with the ability to see things in dreams. All through the while she insisted on protection as she couldn't trust me completely. She grew more suspicious daily and I got defensive everytime and this started causing a strain in our relationship.
During this period we were dating and I asked her if she publicizes her rship on social media and she mentioned no, then later she asked me what I was hiding but i got defensive and we had a major argument.

My brother you are really confuse, that you were pressured into marrying the first girl, who does that? to be frank with you, you are just a user. Someone out there has a baby for you and you are here still gallivanting with another woman. Karma is real, also think about your self, imagine your wedded wife is your sister, how would you feel should she be passing through this type of emotional torture. See, you have sisters, and God will bless you with both male and female kids in future, but please be careful how you treat women in your life, as things have a way of turning around, and innocent kids will now be the one suffering for what they do not know of. I am a guy, I will not say I am perfect, but there are lines that I will never cross. Go and reconcile and bring back your wife with your kid to stay with you. You are taken, let the new girl know that and learn to love your wife, if she good enough to roll with, walk the whole length with her.

Aptly captured bro, lots of people will now get to understand the reason behind the closure of the border. I will be sharing your explanation on fb shortly so friends who do not understand the reason will do. How I wish government agencies can take due diligence and make explanation like this. Keep it up

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

*Benin Republic has a population of 12 million people. But it is the worlds 5th importer of rice. In 2018, it imported rice worth US$996m.*

*Benin is also world's largest importer of _used_ _cars_ and __second_ - _hand_ _clothing_ . All with a population of 12m people.
DO YOU WONDER HOW??

*98.2% of these imports into Benin are only on transit; their final destination is _NIGERIA_ !*
*Nigeria is world's largest consumer of used cars and second hand clothing, and is also Africa's largest consumer of Asian grown rice.*

*The problem here is that all these imported goods attract appropriate import duty and trade tax, which are paid to the Beninoise Government while the goods are thence SMUGGLED into Nigeria WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT to the Nigerian Government and, thereby, adding zero value to the Nigerian economy!*
*Sadly, THIS IS ALL DONE BY NIGERIANS!*


*Granted, ECOWAS/CEDEAO charter allows for free trade between member states, but _on_ _goods_ _produced_ _in_ _member_ _countries_ , and NOT on imports from other economic blocs.*

*Where foreign goods are transiting through a member country, and ending up in another member country, the ECOWAS charter stipulates that the country of transit MAY collect a token trade tax, and its Customs officials should then escort the goods to the border of the importing country and hand it over to the Customs officials of the importing country!*
*But what we see in the case of Benin Republic is that it collects _CUSTOMS_ _DUTY_ plus _TRADE_ _TAX_ , and then allows the goods to pass through its hinterland for onward smuggle into Nigeria!*

*This is a clear violation of ECOWAS statutes and no nation can condone such costly infraction.*

*Nigeria has tolerated this nonsense from Benin for far too long and it is time to stop the malpractice if we want Nigeria's economy to grow.*
*(Therefore, whoever cries foul because we have closed our borders to smugglers while we're putting our act together, IS AN ENEMY OF NIGERIA!)*

*Nigeria makes up about 74% of ECOWAS population and about 71% of its economy. It is ECOWAS that needs Nigeria and not the other way round!*

ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MEMBER COUNTRIES MUST BE BASED ON EXTANT REGULATIONS!

[quote author=LifeDrama post=77140348][/quote]Interesting piece, my late mum was from Uroe, in Owan East Lga, I remember my early years on vacation with my late grand mum then, good old days, enjoying wild mushrooms delicacies.

They have wonderful hills, and are close to the kukuruku hills. Then the hills were used to plant marijuana. Am Igbo by the way from Anambra state, but can still very fluently speak the Uroe dialect, Va ese!

This comment by the Minister for power and energy is true, I work in the North East, Maiduguri precisely and I can confirm that where I stay, we have an average of 23hrs of electricity daily.

But am not surprised as most of the electricity are consumed by domestics users, I. E private homes, there are no heavy or light industries here that consume electricity. This is a fact

May God help our country, I see lots of hates speeches here. Let's all respect the view and opinions of every member here and not take any post by members as personal. It will also do us all alot of good if we desist from generalizing.

Nigeria will be Great again this I believe, but we all have to come together as one, and not this mutual distrust we have for ourselves. I believe in Nigeria, I know we are far behind, but still believe over taking is also allowed. We can never be great if we are not United within.

Thinking outside the box, me thinks this is a ploy by APC to ensure that Rivers state governorship election is held on a different date from the national time table of election, this is what will play, say a week to the governorship election, one of the contestant from APC will secure a favorable ruling from a higher to have his name as the candidate for the party, INEC based on time constraints, and planning, will have to shift date of election as already ballot have been printed without APC'S candidate on the ballot sheet.

INEC will now postpone the election till when they could get all contestants on the ballot, and believe me, this is the initial plan. So a recap of what happened in Ekitti will be replayed with the state filled up with all military personnel as it was done in Ekitti.

Just my own opinion though.

An official of DStv, who declined to give his name because they had been asked by the company not to speak on the issue, confirmed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday that subscribers still pay the increased rates.

“The case is being reviewed at the moment and there are some information that I cannot disclose.

“But as it is, for all of the DStv subscriptions, the price still remains at its increased rate price list.

“I do not have any information as to how long it will take to review the prices but the case is being reviewed in the court with the business and legal experts,” he said.

In July, MultiChoice raised the subscription rate for the DSty Premium package from N14,700 to N15,800, Compact Plus from N9,900 to N10,650, Compact from N6,300 to N6,800.

The Family package went from N3,800 to N4,000, and Access from N1,900 to N2,000 which was implemented from Aug 1.

However, on Monday, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba granted an injunction restraining the video entertainment and Internet Company from implementing the new rates.

The court also restrained MultiChoice from any conduct capable of interfering with the regulatory process of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC).

The restraining order was issued in respect of Suit No FHC/ABJ/CS/894/18 brought before the court by the CPC following public outcry.

In March 2015, DStv announced a 20 per cent increase for all its satellite pay TV bouquets in Nigeria, which took effect from April 1, 2015.

An order of interim injunction restraining Multichoice from enforcing the planned increase was granted by Justice C.J. Aneke of the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Inspite of the ruling, DStv went on to implement the increased prices with the defence that the Court order was granted on April 2 after price increase had taken effect on April 1, 2015.

The Director-General of CPC, Mr Babatunde Irukera in a statement on Friday unveiled a special channel for receiving complaints for customers who could not renew their subscriptions at old prices.

“The Council is setting up a special channel for receiving complaints for this purpose.

“This is in view of the continuing and increasing complaints that consumers are unsuccessful in renewing subscription in compliance with the order of the court, even after service of the order upon Multichoice.

“As such, any consumer who has, or is experiencing this challenge should please send an email to multichoicecompliance@cpc.gov.ng, stating relevant information.

“The information should include smart card number, name, telephone number, date and time of failed attempt to pay, supporting same with relevant evidence such as a screenshot or document (where necessary),” Irukera said.

Its a free market, to me we have no choice asking the court to stop Multi Choice recent increase in DSTV subscriptions, as consumers, we should exercise our power, we all knows the laws of supply and demand! There are other substitutes products out there and if we the consumers are really serious about this, let's boycott the services and see if fall in demand for their services would make them have a rethink, but you all know, we are Nigerians, we always pick our bills.
Let our judiciary not start a precedent of what will hurt the free market, let market forces dictate the pace of business. My humble opinion.

Na so bro, give it a trial if you are qualified for any of the openings.
