Lol, Fayose is unperturbed because Aisha and whatever team of lawyers she may have cannot do anything to him on account of the haliburton scandal. Justification is a complete defense in a case of defamation. And Fayose's justification is that there is really a judgment that indicts 'Aisha Buhari' in the Halliburton case. I have seen this judgment and if you are interested in seeing it am sure it is still online. To redeem her reputation, there are two things Aisha can do. 1. Prove that she is not the Aisha Buhari referred to in that judgment and I think they have already started working on that because I have seen a passport on the net bearing the name but a different picture and alleging that the lady is an imposter who used the name. 2. Show to the whole world and Nigerians in particular that she is not the one by going to the US. I do not see no. 2 happening soon. . Lesser hajj indeed. |
sweetilicious:Sweetilicious, those are nice and practical suggestions I agree but have you ever really tried to effect them? Particularly the wake her up every hour to go and ease herself? Op says she works. My sister, it is one thing to say oh but another thing to do. Before you castigate me take note that I have not said to send the child home. Until you have walked this talk believe me you will not know that it is not so easy. |
andyanders:So true! Once you start helping somehow it becomes a responsibility, the day you say you do not have that day you become evil and wicked. I remember how one of our neighbours started collecting 2k every week from my hubby and I for antenatal. It started with my hubby settling a quarrel for them. She got pregnant and they were happy. She went for ultrasound and it showed twins. The moment she told her hubby he told her to go and use an injection to kill one of them cos he cannot provide for them financially. That quarrel my hubby settled that God will provide became the siphon. She was collecting 2k from either of us every week till she gave birth and it was much later that I realised that antenatal is not weekly and she was usng the money to pay her contribution in 'Glamorous Ladies Club' ![]() |
@SamMilla1 and Valprof, you may have a point but you have also being very extreme. 1. You assume that @marrymeee was wicked even from the beginning because she said initially she did not want the child. Well, when a couple are young and newly wedded, particularly when there are no kids yet, bringing in a child from a relative is something that should be seriously considered first because it will inhibit relations between the couple. A young couple in the home alone will make love any and everywhere. They can prance around their house naked and cook when and if they feel like so when thinking of bringing in a child it merits serious consideration because their lifestyle will definitely change 2. We live in a society where we believe strongly in monitoring spirits so when a couple are newly wed, it is advisable not to bring in third party as then there will be no freedom to argue, quarrel or hash out issues without interference or someone listenning in. They will just not be free. 3. You are right about the broken toilet sit though. It is difficult to believe that an 11 year old can do that. However if she makes something heavy crash on it well... I speak from experience when I say some kids can be like a messenger on a mission. My hubby's cousins visited us severally after marriage. One in particular was something else, he broke and cracked almost all my teacups. I just reserved the cracked ones for him. Till date I have had to use glue on all my ceramic ornaments. He broke them all and would not say. You will only get there and find that it was arranged there like it was not broken. One day, after breaking a glass, he took the shards and placed them inside my hubby's shoes. I thank God his elder sister was around. She was the one that raised the alarm 'Sister sister!! Gift wants to kill brother!' I was too shocked to reply? Except of course to ask him later why he thought that was the best place to put the shards. We laughed about it though but can you beat that? Will you not think he was on a mission? He was destructive. But he loved to sing. I still remember him holding tight to the CD player and singing 'ma babe ma babe, ma babe you're the one I want for me...' Yet, he had zero interest in learning two letter words or even three. I tried and tried but gave up. Biko, I cannot come and go and die. Maybe the lack of intelligence is heriditary. Even the elder sister was no different book wise. If he does something wrong and you asks him why, he just looks at you, doesn't say a word. I was certain he had been beaten a lot in the past so he is scared of being beaten so when he does something wrong I just chastise him but I swear I was tested to the limit. I bought a cane eventually as that was the only thing that prompted a response but I never used it. (Thank God) For my sanity, I cut his visits but I visit them. Maternal feelings do no develop over night, they grow over the 9 months and as you watch a baby grow. Also if a woman grew up with kids she could be more inclined to mothering another person's child however take note that when you handle bed wetting, it needs someone to wake up several times at night, breaking your sleep to wake up the child and force them to pee. And often times even after, they still do it. The man is hardly available to do that. When the bed is wet and the house smells, it is the woman's responsibility to correct the smell else, the man's friends will complain and make the woman out to be dirty again. Finally, no one has asked if the girl wants to be there. Despite the better living conditions have you bothered to find out if she wanted to leave home? That might be the reason why she is acting out. In my teenage years, one of my most loved aunts got married and my mum sent my younger sister to live with her in Lagos not because my parents could not take care of her but because my aunt was loving and she was moving to Lagos which was like the London of Nigeria. While those of us back home envied my sister for being the 'lucky' one we never knew that my sister felt abandoned. According to her she felt like our parents hated her the most and sent her into servitude. Thankfully she came back after three years but I am still baffled when she explains how she felt. The best persons to take care of a child are the parents. And 'uncle' should stop birthing like he humps and take care of his children. They are his responsibility. |
@foolinlove, love can be a beautiful thing but just like life, love is only perfect in mills and boon and Harlequin. You have been hurt but you will survive it. It may feel like it is forever but it is not. You will be fine. Just keep going and focus on developing yourself. My motto is if it does not work out, it wasn't meant to be. Set targets for yourself and move on. The wounds will heal and someday when he sees you stronger than you are now, he will ask himself why he left. The best revenge you can give him is to excel beyond his wildest dreams. *hugs |
Breadmaker:Looool. I see you have experience in this matter ![]() |
I love games. I will check it out. The graphics looks nice. |
MrOreo:I just want to point out that the post was meant to show how beautiful the girl's heart it. The lady who experienced it was awed by the beauty of the girls heart to the extent of posting about it. She did not mention anything about giving the girl something because it would probably have detracted from the awesomeness of the girl's mind. Mentioning that she gave the girl some money would have made some posters say stuff like....the girl hammer oh! Na sense the girl use for her etc. I am very certain that the Lady would not have left the girl like that even though she did not mention what she gave her. As an individual, if I was the one with the experience I would also not have mentioned if I did anything. The post was about celebrating Leila's mind. Hope this does not count as trash. |
rodmann:Thank you for your input. I really do appreciate. Knowing how active he usually is and was on the day of the incident I have no doubt whatsoever that 'Runt' is depressed. However, his vet came over today and found absolutely nothing wrong with him physically. He did give him some anti-biotic injections though and a drip since 'Runt' has not eaten in five days now. I had him force fed yesterday and over night he threw it all up. Neither canned food, fish, meat or dry food interests him. I am convinced that he wants to starve himself to die but I have told him severally that I will not let him die. kolokolobi:Thank you for your input. I have no doubt that the environment reminds him of sasha. Recently he has resorted to staying in 'Jeff's ' room. I planned to take him on car rides how ever the nature of my job has prevented that for now. I might take him to work with me tomorrow but I am loath to restrain him in anyway because I know he hates chains. I am certain a change of environment will do him some good. I wish I knew someone who would take good care of him on my behalf. In my experience when I asked someone to dogsit for me when I travelled, I think they used their supplies for their numerous dogs. *sigh* Thanks guys. |
Namdeenero:Thank you. I do have another but they have never been real friends cos 'Jeff' who is older used to beat 'Runt' up. I think 'Jeff' was jealous of 'Runt's' close relationship with 'Sasha' who was female. I will get another eventually. Thanks for your imput. Pet lovers, Dog whispered anybody in the house, please is there no quick advice for me? He is fading before my eyes. This happened on Friday and his last real meal was Thursday evening. Help please somebody!! |
Hi guys, please I need your advice. My GSD 'Runt' experienced a something traumatic yesterday and he is not taking it well and I do not know how to help him. I felt they were becoming too friendly so I resorted to locking them up during the day only to release them at night. He is always together with 'sasha ' a female of the same breed and when he destroyed his door in his several attempts to break out I started keeping them both together. Yesterday I locked them up before I left home but found sasha dead on my return. She tried to bring out her head from a narrow opening and got stuck. She died of accidental strangulation and all the while 'Runt ' was there. He has not being himself since yesterday. He does not bark or growl, does not move around, just lies limply and has refused to eat since yesterday. I stayed home today so he is not alone. Have done all I can to pet him but he is inconsolable. Please what do I do? |
The fact that a SAN is being tried is not enough reason for all the lawyers in the court room to represent him jor. To me that feels like acting like sheep. If you are not guilty face the trial and move on without making a ruckus |
sofadj:You are right, her blood is not on your hands. I can understand how you feel but I also have this sneaky suspicion that even though your head tells you it is not your fault, your heart and conscience is burdened. I think that is the reason why you have painstakingly explained. I sincerely hope that your heart accepts the explanation cos that would be quite a burden to log around. And YES, I understand and empathise with you |
Hiddentreasure1:You are right, these things happen everyday on our roads but 80% of the time the perpetrator settles the family of the deceased and it ends there because the family knows it was a mistake and nothing can bring the deceased back. Did she make overtures to the family to settle out of court or was she high handed? Please take note that even when such a case has gotten to court, if the parties showed an inclination towards settlement the court would have allowed them settle it. And by the way, 5 years jail term for manslaughter? Geez! The justice system probably took her status into consideration while giving her that term. Please go serve the term and be done with it. With night and day she'll probably do half. Haba!!! |
irunooboo: harsysky: kilode100: I wonder why we hate ourselves. Females especially. From the way she spoke, I deduce that she does not intend to come back to Nigeria but if she does and if she has been publishing articles while doing her Ph.D she can be a Prof. in no time. There are lots of ways to harness money from academics if you know your way about it. You go girl 'we' are proud of you. I am even more proud of the diplomatic way she answered all the questions so as not to put anyone down. Congratulations, God bless you and your parents. |
scribble:Lol. I can't imagine myself doing that. However, the bible does say that the heart is treacherous. Knowing that from the onset, I intend to ensure that I do not create an opportunity for such a relationship with any other male. |
ohzee:You are welcome sis! |
Toks2008:I am amazed that you think an unfaithful HUSBAND has the option of marrying more wives. A married man can only go ahead to marry more wives in Nigeria if the first marriage was customary or Muslim in nature. If he was married under the act in the first instance, then any subsequent marriage is bigamy which is a criminal offence for which he can be convicted by a court of law in Nigeria. A lot of women just don't know this and so do not harness it. Also if the first marriage is customary, any subsequent marriage to another woman can only be customary in nature ![]() If my hubby tries it, sadly the woman will never be able to bear his name. In fact I know of a woman whose husband secretly went to marry another woman, she gave him and the other woman an ultimatum and they had no choice but to annul the marriage because at the time of the marriage the man was already marriage so the subsequent marriage was void ab initio. It is sad indeed that most men would cheat and say it is meaningless, a harmless fling and that they love their wife. If they only realised that the act of lovemaking to a wife transcends the physical to the spiritual as well as the emotional trauma it could cause, am sure they would restrain themselves. A man who cheats on me cannot love me and I doubt that I have the capacity to stay with such a man and pretend to manage it. However, this post is not about the repentant adulterer but about the unrepentant philanderer. Guys beware! The day a woman stops crying about you that day you need to start fearing for you life. Before deciding to leave it will take some time. The first time I discover it, I will give him time to do the needful and change. This is because i know what i have invested in this family and would not want to leave for another person who did not sow to come and reap. After this period of grace, if he does not change, I may draw battle lines. By battle lines I do not mean incessant quarrels but I mean a withdrawal of cooperation. By withdrawal of cooperation I mean that he will become the bread winner of the family in the true sense of the word. After all, he has an abundance and that is the reason why he can entice girls in numbers. He will drop the household allowance, my personal allowance and pay for everything even to the match box. If he doesn't then there will be no food in the house. He will also not get a dime from me whether as a loan or support of any kind. We might actually live as strangers in the house. The moment I know about the affair we will start using CDs for intimacy though for the life of me I still wonder how much intimacy there will be becos I will imagine him with another woman, see them in the act in my minds eye and be repulsed. Pretending through the motions of intimacy is no mean feat but is definitely beyond my powers. Biko leave me I beg. On philandering shamelessly in revenge ...lol. Giving myself to his friends in revenge would be stupid and I value myself too much to harm/abuse myself all in the name of revenge. However, a philandering man who refuses to change is obviously advocating for an open marriage and should get it. However, the female need not go about it abrasively just for revenge. If I were to chose that option? I would not rush it. I would only be with a man that also attracts me but which said attraction I would hitherto have suppressed because of the institution of marriage. However, if I ever get to this stage, it would me that I do not have an iota of love for my hubby anymore in which case, I can kill him...subtly. So I would be better off leaving him and filing for a divorce. Guys always forget that a wife has blood flowing in her veins too. She sometimes sees some men and feels attraction but suppresses the feelings because of her love for her husband and the vows she took. Why can't a man do the same? But right now, even though I pray it never happens, I keep myself busy by making the home so happy and homely that he knows how good he has it. So that when the battle lines are drawn, he knows what he is missing. Truth be told though the questions are not easy to answer nor are the answers sacrosanct. A lot depends on how I feel when it happens. I may bloody well take a gun and blow his head off in a dark alley. |
lol at letter of undertaking. sexysegggs:Just pledge to be a good tenant, respect and honor your landlord/landlady (this will make her head swell up) and promise to keep your surroundings neat in keeping with the tenents of tenancy in Lagos state. Biko please do not pledge to pay your rent on any particular day. the undertaking is actually unenforceable but what the heck...you get a breather. lonzo:Such a tenant is only entitled to seven (7) days notice of Owners Intention to Recover Premises. Look for the nearest Area Customary Court and meet the registrar, they will draft a claim in your mothers name summoning the tenant to court. They can also help you with that notice before the claim. Your mother is entitled to be paid all of her unpaid rent. when a notice is served whether for six (6) months or even one year, the tenant MUST still pay the rent due within the period of the notice. |
omooghene1:Your post is not very clear however I can make out the issue to be that while the tenancy of one student was subsisting the landlord gave the same apartment out to someone else. My question is... Was the apartment rented by the first girl rented on sessional basis? Am aware that in some academic environments some rents are done per session. However, there is no rational for a landlord to rent an apartment currently occupied by a tenant out to another person. Such tenants are fully protected by the national/ state laws governing tenancy. There need not be a specific set of rules for students |
Austin234: ![]() Please stop asking Erastus to throw more light cos the light he has been throwing based on his knowledge from the 'borrowed course' is murky and disastrous. Please listen to and ask bigfoot79. He is correct in the few posts of his I just read. nonyefanope:Lawyers in the house stand for justice. A landlord is entitled to his rent. Madam please make arrangement to pay for the three (3) months rent please. Under the law of our land Nigeria, it is not possible to spend even one month in another persons house and not pay rent. The caretaker will only be diligent and not greedy. femo80:You have stayed 5 months without paying rent? Anyway, the position of the law is that if you owe rent for 3 months then you become a statutory tenant and you are only entitled to 7 days notice of owners intention to recover possession of premises. And yes, you will still pay the rent you are owing |
chimauga:He has paid one year rent, and two weeks later he was given a quit notice by his landlord? Since it is a residential premise, the court is most likely to be an Area Customary court. My advice would be that he should go to court. To avoid wasting money, he need not brief a lawyer. The court is a grassroot court and if the facts are as simple and straight forward as you just said the court will realise that the landlord is high on dry weed. However, if there are other issues, then I can only advice further if I know what they are. Have a lovely day |
LKO:You are welcome Sir. Glad to be of help |
dohyn:OK, if you say so. The court does not engage in academic exercise or speculations and I would not want to advice on you on what to do based on your suspicion. I would advice that you wait the month out. If that fails then you can look into the explanation for people who default for 3 months like I mentioned above. Have a lovely day Sir |
LKO:Yes, Actually, the rule becomes enforceable once a tenant is in default of rent for three (3) months; But be informed that all notices have formats and essential elements which make them valid. If you type it yourself and miss the essential ingredients, it may become a worthless document. |
. Lesser hajj indeed.
Phd wey she use toto collect. Mtcheeew. Not impresssed
