Some people stood as sureties for him. Standing as surety is serious business. Why is the court afraid to order the arrest fo the sureties?

abumeinben:
Lovely.

But why was she lamenting of neglect? She said she only did it for fun.



Are you for real or imaginary?
She made the video to make fun of a little girl in a sad situation. It was not her intention that the video would help her.

The little girl's family is struggling with poverty to the extent that they couldn't pay her school fees and this lady feels entitled to a commission from the little blessing they received as if there was an agreement before.

This is even more confusing than doing a case before an angry Justice Olatoregun.
Haha. Fellow lawyer in the house. That woman's bad temperament no be here. They should be giving her Registrars anxiety allowance.

Meanwhile the deadline for petitions against the presidential election expires today. How is anyone supposed to conduct his case without the materials. The current INEC is really disorganized and incompetent.

It's true. She's a quarrelsome person. Who no like peace for house?

That being said, he should mind his business.
Celebrities › Re: Mercy Aigbe Slams Holier Than Thou Saints Over Her Cleavage-Baring Outfit by gr8child(m): 4:01pm On Mar 06, 2019
Na she sabi. That outfit was a fashion fail. Sometimes you have to accept criticism in good faith. All advice is not hate.

What did she expect people to say about her when she wore such a skin-baring outfit to a party thrown by a notorious womanizer like KWAM 1 and attended by his like minded friends?

Politics › Re: Reno Omokri Attacks Dele Momodu Over His Tweet To Atiku. by gr8child(m):
I can't stand Reno Omokri but what he has said here is true. Dele Momodu likes grandstanding and forming familiarity. He could have sent a text to Atiku if it was a sincere message from the heart of a friend instead of posting on social media for the world to admire.

That's how he was trying to famz the Adeleke family through his niece that got belle for Davido until he went and chopped insult.

Politics › Re: Tompolo - Buhari Military Killed My Father, Why Should I Endorse Him? by gr8child(m): 8:32pm On Feb 13, 2019
tiredoflife:
Surrendered to who
And when he does
Will he be kept in a five star hotel
Or why do u want him to surrender angry
Then he should stop complaining. He's a wanted man. Who wants his endorsement? After all during his militant days he killed people who were people’s fathers too. And the only emancipation he achieved was the emancipation of his own pocket while the people of his community that he claims to fight for continue to live below the poverty line.
Politics › Re: Tompolo - Buhari Military Killed My Father, Why Should I Endorse Him? by gr8child(m): 8:19pm On Feb 13, 2019
If he had surrendered when he was declared wanted, instead of running and hiding like a guilty person nobody would have chased him to his father’s house. So who is now to blame?

Politics › Re: Nigeria Is The 6th Cheapest Place To Buy Petrol In The World by gr8child(m): 11:29am On Jan 17, 2019
theoldpretender:
Thing is, if we keep the price of fuel low...time will come when we will keep on owing the NNPC millions in unpaid subsidy claims as the cost of importing fuel goes up.

And no one is going to come into Nigeria, and build a new refinery and sell fuel below the manufacturing cost per liter. Even Dangote is not going to sell fuel at N140 per liter to marketers...below the manufacturing cost, and with all his loans he took for the refienry.

Plus, no one is going to invest in our downstream sector because no one wants to come in and make zero profit.

And why keep subsidy...with all the scams going on.

When we started GSM, Obasanjo allowed GSM companies to set prices anyhow. People were buying SIM cards for N10000 and above. People also wanted Government to control prices. Govt refused.

Five years later...thanks to money plus investment flowing in...prices dropped. Phones became so cheap that even rural people were owning 2 lines.

Why can't we do the same for fuel. Yes...price will go above 200 naira...but investment would flow in, and jobs would be created.And more people will build refineries.
Everything you say makes textbook economic sense. However, you cannot squeeze water out of stone. We cannot look at one set of factors (the need to make local refining attractive and to free up income for the government) without considering other factors (the need of the people to survive). Investment will not flow in overnight. In the meantime, the masses would suffer great hardship caused only by the failure of the government to create an enabling economy that would enable its people better absorb the effects of those reforms.

In Zimbabwe, the cost of 1 litre of petrol is now the equivalent of N1,000. That would be N50k to fill up the average car if that kind of increase is implemented here. Even if you think that that is a drastic example, just looking at what is happening in Zimbabwe shows how recklessly tampering with the price of PMS to achieve textbook results, while ignoring other important factors, can go very wrong.
