Hmmm...

Hmm

Its long overdue....

O Lord please forgive Op for he does not know what he's saying.

The special one= The only one

I don't see anything different from Kemi, Lai Mohammed, Femi Adesina, Sheik Gumi .... they all have one common similarities.

They try so hard to please who ever is bankrolling them.... and it goes a long way to show where their loyalty lies...

This case is dead on arrival if she will be tried in a civilian court..

According to the military, a new recruit is meant to remain single for 3years

It didn't say you shouldn't have sex, you shouldn't make friends, you shouldn't accept any proposal, you shouldn't visit a man, you shouldn't kiss a man...

That law is only pointing at marital status "single" which means nothing like marriage until after 3 years, so I don't see how it adds up with why they detained the lady....

Assuming they said she was on an assignment and also on her uniform while involving herself with public kissing, I think that is an offense.

La clique la bend.

Seems like Kim is the one tutoring Buhari

This is not how harmattan looks like please.... for the fact you said severe, hmmm something is wrong some where.

Since your headline is misleading, who knows the authenticity of the so called land....you already depicted an element of scam from your headline....learn good marketing so that you don't end up shooting yourself on the leg next time... Have a nice day.

Hmm..... painful for those that lost their goods.... this kind period

Beebah2000:
Who curves epp??
Shift from here joor.
Mtchewww

Lol...no vex, God will do something soon

Hmmm....I'm still trying to search for what 2baba find attractive in this lady no offense just that I'm only curious.. To me she's just an average class. Perhaps maybe her character just assuming Sha.

Hmmm.... that thing you are complaining about is what many of us here are wishing to have and experience but because we didn't come from a wealthy background we are forming serious minded by appearing responsible and focused so that we won't end up begging. You don't need to feel sour about yourself dear Mother of two dogs just do whatever makes you happy, you're not obligated to please anyone as long as your immediate family doesn't complain about it.

In as much as the news sounds Yeye to me...I will have to say this....if Adesina gets sacked by Buhari hope he will continue saying that Buhari is next thing to sugar once he's out of Aso rock?.... Just for political gain you say that black is white even when it's affecting your children's future.
Once he continues sticking with all he has said before now I have nothing against him but when he goes the Yoruba way (saying white in the morning, turning to black at nightfall) that's when thunder will fire him...spits

The headline should have been " Lady flogs her lesbian partner with cane after she caught her cheating"...
That guy is a lesbian not a man, what effrontery, who gave her right to get a cane not to talk of using it on the guy, even if I catch my wife cheating I dare not raise my hands on her, it changes nothing, just walk out of the relationship or union instead of me distracting myself with issues of inflicting injuries on someone.
Well some are born simps

Who're mine to condemn what the society have accepted?...

To identify any business opportunity that's a scam in Nigeria just look out for one thing

Once you are almost advised or persuaded to venture into it just know it's not legit, this is Nigeria for crying out loud. The person advising you has he finish accumulating money for himself and family that he's having your interest at heart... even if it's genuine check very well there's a referer bonus he wants from you registering so the motive isn't pure....

Dangote is not interested showing you how to make money, but @Op wants to do that...

Happy retirement

So how can the corper unpropose (if there's any word like that) to the soldier lady so that Nigerian Army will have peace of mind and stop frowning because I don't understand.

One good thing about nemesis is that it doesn't discriminate... The fire go touch everybody, very soon Aso rock will be hijacked and unsafe, then Mr President will continue ruling us from Niger.

Nkpitime:
The author is just a bully he is ok if any other person is extorted

Read through that's not what happened....

TMKsouth:
Nah, this one was just clearly staged.

The era we're in .... not surprised.

gasparpisciotta:
We want more people like the author.

People who would stand up to any form of bullying by these corrupt civil servants.

A similar episode almost happened at Ikeja High Court.

After paying the statutory N500 for an affidavit, the guy man issuing the receipt and stamp almost insisted that I add another N500 or more.

I shouted on him in annoyance, that made him recoil, and he quickly referred me to the lady stamping the affidavit without further ado.

They don’t even have the courtesy to ask politely, they always want to intimidate people.

On a second occasion I went to my nearest police station to make a police report.

The police lady asked for N5,000 and I politely asked if that was the cost because the officer that sent me said it’s free but I can offer them N1,000.

She raised her voice immediately she heard the N1k, attempting to railroad into paying without hesitation.

Right there I put a call through to the AC’s office and put our conversation on speaker, once she heard who I was conversing with she quickly backtracked and tried to explain how the N5,000 will be appropriated.

I insisted I ain’t bothered with their internal issues and eventually gave her N2,000 collected my police report and zapped.

Me, I will not accept being bullied

Awon ole.

I don't really know the way forward seems every department is involved in this practice

ALFADOS:
I think you never lived that your enclave to any northern part of the country that's why, you only base on what you read or heard on the hypocritical media agenda

My dear, I lived in the north after my Nysc infact stayed there for 3yrs and 6months before work took me out of there...so I know what I'm saying, I lived in Bauchi State precisely Bayangeri to be precised...so I have experienced what living in the north feels like

Aje....



AND you need slap

For what exactly?

I travelled out of my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a Federal High court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4,000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4,000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'Sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. They make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt. Please keep sharing until it gets to the right people. Nigeria must be saved.

May God save my country Nigeria....!!!
