How can one believe this story? Is that apartment, a factory or is the building a hotel? How can one believe that a small apartment can rack up such amount and IKEDC allowed such debt? Surely this must be wrong information.

However, if it is true that such a bill was incurred, involving the Police would go a long way. One thing is certain; IKEDC will demand their money completely.

The man head be like bypass sef.

Good news to the grassroots!!! Any LG chairman who does their allocation anyhow should be jailed for life. Their law needs to be amended now. Thanks to OBJ for initiating this in his term...the true baba of the nation.

He fought tinubu for creating the LCDAs , saying the grassroots would be shortchanged cos allocation going to them, which had not even been adequate in the first place would be mismanaged.

Till today, no meaningful developments after creation of the LCDAs than offices filled with people making noise from morning till evening, doing nothing. Some wont even show up while their salary will be unaffected. All the LGA/LCDA projects are still being funded by the state cos they don't see anything from Abuja. Our LG chairmen in lagos are ceremonial while LCDAs are conduit pipes used to siphon money by the state. LCDAs need to be scrapped

I think that should add some pressure on Lagos.
There are constitutionally recognized 774 local governments in Nigeria. Lagos state under Tinubu added 37 LCDAs after finding out that the constitution could not be altered to favour the creation of more LGAs in Lagos, to match Kano state. I think the implication is that Lagos state would have to revert to their normal 20 LGAs while the LCDAs are cancelled. Alternatively the LCDAs would have to be funded by the state government as LGAs would have the accounts credited directly.

Tinubu intended well for Lagos when he demanded the creation of more LGAs for Lagos state. His thinking was Lagos being the commercial capital should not have 20 LGAs, while Kano state had 44 LGAs.

For me, taking away the resources for grassroots development from the greedy government should fasten growth, if the local government chairmen are not crooked. Again, proper elections must be conducted in states, with different parties contesting. The advantage for the citizens is that they can identify their local government chairmen and councillors. No longer would such people be shrouded mystery.

She successfully committed the crime, arrested herself, tried herself and imprisoned herself.

EmeeNaka:
Nonsense !
The most important thing in the law is the spirit of the law and not the letters of the law. That's why the Supreme court explicitly stated that the state governors has abused the privilege accorded to them.
The supreme court ruling has effectively established an autonomous third tiers of government and this is very important for the development of the country and Nigerian democracy.
The fear of political meddling in local government affair by the Federal government is secondary and should not becloud our resolve to give more opportunities for development to local level.
Imagine some towns and local government being at the mercy of their Governor. Some Governors will seize the allocation of local government and use it to develop another place. The Supreme court ruling is valid

You got it bro.

That judgement makes sense. At least local governments can have their resources and use to develop their areas accordingly.

I think Ibori interpreted according to his understanding of the wordings in English. The struggle for local government full autonomy has been going for ages, with governors refusing to let local governments grow and the citizens enjoy proper developments at the grassroots.

For me, Ibori’s opinion is immaterial going forward.
Local government elections are opportunities for governors to instal their stooges. There is no firm of democracy as the councils are not democratically composed. You have council members only belonging to the ruling party in the state. Elections are completely one sided with state electoral commissions conducting what I always term “wayo elections”.

I think NASS should proceed to get INEC to conduct elections at state levels. That way, we can get those we term as our best choices at the local government levels first.

India?

Nigerians in India without paperwork are looking for all means to return home. The Indians have beamed their searchlights on Africans, particularly Nigerians and now make life more difficult for them all. Nigerians get arrested for different forms of crime ranging from fraud to drug, cultism and prostitution.

For the ladies who think that India is a goldmine, ashewo no dey see better money. They get 1,000 rupees or more if lucky. Now lucky in this sense means that their clients (mostly Nigerians too), would have received money from dubious means.

While some Nigerians are struggling to get money to travel to India, some Indians are in the newspapers stands looking for job opportunities in Nigeria. While here they, they get good jobs that Nigerians cannot get.

Please with your millions, you can get creative; start up something and make it big in Nigeria, inspite of the horrible situation placed on citizens by politicians.

“ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer, LGBTQ”

The Queer sounds so funny.
For me, when you are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, you are already queer. How can a normal man carry rod put for another man yansh and call am “my wife”? Just imagine as you wake up in the morning with a fellow man beside you with bia bia. The next thing you hear “baby good morning”. And you answer “sweetheart how was you night”? That na to fellow man o. Is that not queer?

Or as a man, you tell yourself that God made a mistake with your creation. You tell yourself that you are a woman and you start taking hormones to Lahr make you become a woman? That’s queer.

May God remove this confusion in humans.

payaseriy:
no

Not Wike at all. But if that minister has that much power, how much more Wike. Same politician with a daughter that moves with DSS and Soldiers, sometimes 4 convoy, sometimes 3. Money too sweet abeg.

Wike convoy obviously will be more than that.

Bros I no mention name o.
How you come dey mention person name na?

Rapmoney:
If it was consensual and the girl in question is not underaged, then he has no case with the law. But Nigerians like to dish out punishment before finding out the truth.

And we all heard the truth from his mouth. He said that when he met the victim, she asked him why he did not ask her for a relationship. He responded to her that it did not matter and that he was under pressure with his penis. With his own mouth, he used the word rape. He said that he raped her. Ask an Igbo speaking person to listen and interpret the words to you.

The madman met more than his match. And he pretended to read the Bible and sing praise, just to escape Justice. They caught him. If you no get girlfriend, no need to rape. Carry a fee paying woman and pay for the amount of rounds that you want.

payaseriy:
I know a current minister with more than 50 Convoys.

I won't mention names. Soldiers, police, civil defence, Dss,doctors in Ambulance(two female doctors with big yanch), praise chanters, and even private security guards are always going out with him except when he travels abroad.

I have no problem with a man having all these, am only concerned if he is using tax payers to live like a king. Even Putin and North Korea leader don't go out with that much security.

You can imagine how many the president himself is entitled to, if only his minister can get that much.

I can't mention names cause he is an uncle, and am a benefactor too.

Is he the one with the initials N.E?
Is he the one with his surname starting with W?

I no follow mention name o.

SegunGbenro:
Wanna be a politician? I can make you one.

He’s a confused fellow!
Now to him “politicians are all the same”. He should be asked is he has abandoned his political affiliation.

Macphenson:
Honestly speaking the number of extortion points in Anambra is very terrible. The last month I was in the east I was very upset. The most annoying is the check point at Ekwusigo Police Station along Owerri Onitsha Expressway.

Just infront of the Poilce station, they have two extortion points that are just a distance of about 200m apart from each other. Motorists must settle the.both points before passing through that place.

Sometimes one wonders if the insecurity in the east is not government induced. Even before the agitation, the SE, especially Anambra state appeared like a goldmine for extortion. The Niger bridge at both ends is the most policed. You find the army, police, road safety, touts in their numbers, all extorting citizens.

That Niger bridge bypass is annoying. There are two check points there. There’s one immediately after Dozy and that one right under the bridge. They serve to wickedly extort keke riders, truck owners and bus owners. The impunity is unbelievable.

Next is the Navy checkpoint at Odo rubber. That one is complete madness, especially in the evenings. Citizens are very sure to spend very long time waiting for Navy personnel to collect their bribes and let them move.

These lower cadre of the security forces are those who made our security organizations look horrible. While government makes all possible to ensure that they receive the remunerations, they must not keep making security lax and put the lives of citizens are risk.

I hope that someday things can be put right.

PDP must absolutely back the governor in this matter to ensure that not only is justice done, but seen to be done.

As a man, oya go carry gun, run go defend your community. We must award you medal one time.

There definitely must be a secret known to only Fubara and Wike that enables Fubara continuously poke his fingers into Wike’s eyes without fear.

They say an elder who plays in the sand with a child expects to know that he’s rubbing faeces on his hands.

Does it have to do with cheating financially? Will we ever hear the real story behind the disagreement?

At 52 years and 2 months old. Has 18 years to go as a judge and an opportunity to become a Supreme Court judge, with the retirement age at 70. Wike has to remain politically relevant , in Rivers state otherwise his wife may not attain the Supreme Court level.

Congratulations to her and her family.

Genetically modified food?

So sad, so painful. What should the owner now do in these difficult times? How would such amount be found again? Infact those eggs go for as much as 5,200 per crate in some areas.

What a horrible loss.

She probably got the pin by one trick or the other and quickly forced the life out of the patient.

Chrisrare:
And after the goal he was nonexistent in the game.

Did he score the goal?
Did he contribute to his country’s victory?
Now you talk about his name and fame with others.

Whether he was nonexistent or not is immaterial now. What matters now is the joy that he brought to his country, family and fans worldwide.

That’s the proper thing to do.
Provision of the basic needs of the people. That’s what governance should be all about.

Ojuntana:
Where's the link to this?

But anyone who is supporting Elrufai is simply a fool

Man supported Tinubu based on ethnoreligious consideration aka Muslim Muslim ticket

So just because he did not get what he hoped, he'll now start fighting Tinubu and you'll support him ba?

What do you think will happen if he get back into power again? Christians and Southerners use your head o. Don't follow the wrong crowd o

That’s what’s called “hitting the nail on the head”.

While they completely relied on the same ethno-religious politics go achieve victory, they turned around to accuse others.

Are we to finally agree that BAT, having forced this hardship on the citizens, does not have any solution?

After killing the woman’s first son. How are these people so evil?

How has our government allowed such evil people to thrive all over the nation? If not for corruption, how have we not acquired proper fighting equipments to completely wipe out these evil people and make our societies safe? How can non state actors kill citizens and get away with it with such impunity? How long will these wickedness continue in our country?

SmartyPants:
This guy is a mediocre lawyer seeking attention for his upcoming foray into politics.

Don’t mind him. A simple definition of cyberstalking would have helped him.

When you make repeated unwanted contact with someone by calling, emailing, texting, messaging, or asking inappropriate questions. When you repeatedly send, post or share unwanted sexual requests, sexual or offensive content, abusive comments, or false accusations to or about someone, you cyberstalking the person.

Cyber trolling is a form of cyberbullying, involving the posting of abusive, threatening, or harassing content on social media or other online platforms. It can have detrimental effects on victims, causing emotional distress, anxiety, and depression.

Like physical stalking, cyberstalking can lead to physical violence. Victims suffer psychological trauma, often resulting in anxiety, depression, insomnia and even loss of employment.

In this case, the young man threatened the child of the woman with death on social media. Did he cause her anxiety, fear, worry or depression? Did he make her fear for her safety and the safety of her son or family? It is now up to the court to sort it out and not this lawyer who wants to become an overnight super star lawyer, confusing the gullible and preparing them for jail terms. The young man even arrogantly told the woman to use him as an example. Did he not read it?

Cyberstalking is an offence under the previous section 24 of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act 2 2015 (the Principal Act) and section 24 of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) (Amendment) Act (Amended Act).

With the amendment to Section 24(1), cyberstalking which has been limited to pornographic content or contents a sender knows to be false, to cause a breakdown of law and order, or to pose a threat to life, still has “threat to life” as a crime.

Would he have said those careless words to the son of a military man, in the Nigeria where we live and know?

Dubai to Abuja is 11 hrs direct flight,

It is 8 hours non stop. Try Emirates airlines when they return to Nigeria.

shortgun:

It's always amusing to me when people assume that obtaining a degree from NOUN is easy. Most graduates from conventional universities wouldn't survive 5 semesters at the National Open University of Nigeria.
In Nigeria, NOUN is unmatched in upholding academic standards and discipline. There are no opportunities for bribing lecturers or cheating, unlike other universities where grades can be bought by warming a lecturers bed or fueling his car

What’s the situation with the law students who have been complaining?

That’s the way.

Cromagnon:

Very open to employ you and your entire family.
May you and your entire family become my slaves, providing me cheap labour. After serving me, me you all continue as slaves the rest of your lives everywhere you go.
Say a loud Amen.

That’s the way it should be for now.

That’s the position per the Supreme Court ruling in 2012. One wonders where the confidence and hope come from with the Wike/Amaewhule side.

Mr. Falana put it the way it should be. He said their defection means their loss of their seat become “automatic”.

They are in delusion and claiming not to have decamped is tantamount to fools paradise. Again, they on their own made reference to their defection in one of the matters with the courts. Or e of them Alabo George declared after the meeting last December that they would not return to PDP. Sadly, those among them who were first time legislators lost their seats. Their constituents do not have representation as it stands.

In all Fubara went ahead of them again with the courts yesterday. How they intend to navigate these hurdles is yet to be seen.

There is no need to delay. INEC must do the needful by organizing by elections to fill the seats.
