All Public Info. Great Ife.

Sorry to bust y'alls bubble..I know dude very well and he's very much Nigerian...Parents are from Osun State and all the kids go home regularly..The Parents live in Southern Cali....

Ezenwammadu:
Amaechi who is constitional bound to attend wike inaugration did not come no twitter outburst but PEJ who is not bound to did not attend twitter idioots are making noise.........hypocrisy

I'm a staunch APC Supporter but cant help but agree on what you said...too many kids and loudmouths on twitter trying to gain more followers..

Rossikki: You have zero common sense. Matuidi represents FRANCE - a white, European nation, and it is FRANCE that has its interests being promoted by a dishonest/corrupt FIFA. It is not the individual players' skin colour that matters. Surely you must know this or are you really that dumb and stupi.d??

This guy Rossike..you really shouldn't have stopped taking your medication you know...Xanax or Prozac or whatever your psychiatrist prescribed...please start taking them again,you hear ?

alpontif: I am relaxed, I am not prone to losing my cool over issues with faceless bots on the internet, not in a 100 years.

I am not proud, just assertive. I know what I know.

But I am not gonna take this literally, coz this is not about me.

The issue is I do not think it smart that non domain experts discuss expert knowledge that ONLY domain experts can intelligently discuss without arriving at wrong conclusions. non experts do not even ask the right questions, since there premise is not backed by any technical training or experience in the domain to which the pretend to debate.

This usually results in misinformation and the propagation of half baked ''expert'' opinions.

You cannot find me discussing the merits and demerits of surgical techniques for complex proximal tibial fractures, that
can only be discussed by the domain experts, that is the surgeons practicing in that field, you may trust their conclusions, or not, but it is silly for a Civil engineer to start debating or discussing that.

Civil Engineering Design practices and construction is not forex or stock trading, that you can learn and understand practically without a proper technical training in it in a week.

Leave the domain topic to the domain experts, then you will not have a layman arguing with the Engineer on a project just because he got some misinformation from a forum on the internet.

Dude...you need to GTFOH !! if you dont have any meaningful contributions on the topic !! NL is not Civil Engineering Journal where we are all experts...if you have an expert opinion,then render it instead of clambering on your high horse..The fact is that as a lot of people have expressed a great deal of roads in the western world are constructed using concrete.
I personally believe that in terms of cost, ashphalt/bitumen is better for Nigeria as we have them naturally occurring in great abundance...but again we await for supreme expertise on the subject O Great Professor!!

But this story is true though cos i know the lecturer well.He was the same when he was in Ife...He was a lot more discreet then though as he was a Junior Lecturer..

tpia.:
of course he can also discuss with the teacher and have them scale down whatever they're teaching his child, but clearly, to him, thats not an option.

This girl..you seriously need to go get laid..!Always angry and snippy at everybody..smh..

If you want your child to feel like a Nigerian,then you raise him like a Nigerian.Jeez !! You people need to travel more! A Child is born and grows up abroad,never been to Nigeria or maybe one time when he was like 6 years old,had all the sports training in his country where he was born,does not speak any Nigerian language..then when he becomes popular,you people want to claim him !! Seriously ??! Where is that done ??

Titiluvly: PROUDLY WINNERS!!!!!...

You have mixed it with Ogun Lakaaye's oriki
Ogun is the "olominle f'ejewe;olasonle fi imokimo bora"...

Nuzo':
Yuzedo, Tpia and you captured my exact thots on Ese and the funky pastor.

Imagine, the little brat is not even concerned she commited adultery with another woman's husband...but only concerned she fornicated with a pastor. Who is a pastor? Which is more shameful and condemnble?

This is just one of those numerous cases of a disgruntled girls who had a magical, lustful and trilling sexual moments with some randy handsome sweet talking pastor they've been fantasizing about. Only to realize that the goon of a pastor wasn't gonna give up his loved mugu wife for any ugly pastor wife wannabe biach!

The story is likely to be 100 percent true. It happens everywhere; churches, banks, homes, schools...everywhere! And these god-like pastors should be exposed at all cost.

But making the story look like she's more of a victim than the pastor is...can never work for me. Whichever way one want to see it, they were both in this equally and together. I don't care if one is labelled a pastor.

I'm only angry tht this is the set of girls who use the same outdated line of "touch not my annointed" to defend the so-called men of god.

Guy !! ive bookmarked your name.You just saved me the wahala of typing.You have said everything in my mind just like Yuzedo! Imagaine the briatch forming "victim" after sucking the guys brick and tossing his motha-effing salad!!

ibkaye: Stingy

Long Throat !

ibkaye: Stingy

adconline: This sounds like double-jeopardy. Retrying someone for an offence he has been acquitted

.

This is not double-jeopardy and the Supreme Court will not retry the case.They will not take any new evidence or pleadings .What they will simply look at are what the Appeal Court decided and see if there was any material error on the part of the AC. Its good that LASG decided to go all the way to the SC.Thats how its done in any sane clime.I doubt that the AC judgement will be overturned by the SC though.Based on the law,i think they were right.

The woman is desperate jare ! If your son is that good,theres no need to bribe NFF by paying MRI,feeding and sundry fees yourself! So cos you come from Yankee and was called into their camp,makes you think you'll walk into the Naija team ? I love her Patriotism, and i surely dont want lose lose any nigerain kid to a foreign team,but the Coaches have been using style to tell you that your son does not fit into their plans, and you no wan take hint! Let him go back to US and prove himself and if hes still a patriot,and any good,we'll take him.If not then Godspeed!

Delafruita: sharia law is not the law of reference with regards to marriage.there is the marriage act which deals with all types of marriages in nigeria and nowhere in the entire marriage act is underaged marriage mentioned nor allowed.

Bros,please read S.277 of the 1999 Constitution.I'm sure you'll agree that the provisions of the constitution supercedes any other law.

HNosegbe: The Senate president has still not addressed the issue closest to my heart.

Section 21 of the Child Rights Act of 2003, a federal law, states unequivocally that a child below the age of 18 shall be deemed a minor and not eligible to marry. The law goes on to stipulate imprisonment for those who break this law.

How come Sani Yerima is still a free man?

Yerima declared Sharia Law in Zamafara State when he was Governor.According to this same 1999 Constitution,Sharia Courts/Law have jurisdiction over Islamic marriages.Sharia Law allows marriage to underage girls.The Constitution supercedes Child Rights Act.End of Story.

luvmijeje: Godzila or whatever your name is, you are now writing with sense. Your advice is noted.

luvmijeje: Godzila or whatever your name is, you are now writing with sense. Your advice is noted.

..omo ita ni geh yi sha...lol

[b][/b]@Lumijeje or whatever you call yourself...the lesson here is that you have to learn to read.Dont just read the headlines of the national dailies.Read the whole story.Then when you are done reading,go ahead and do your own research.Thats the way an adult should conduct themselves.You have access to the internet..use it constructively.There are several things wrong with the Nigerian Constitution,but its not by spreading misinsformation that the defects are gonna be corrected..

luvmijeje: Naptu, pls get down from your high horse! At least we put our Senators on their toes.

So are you that stvpid that you think you can make meaningful change by spreading lies ?! Meanwhile child marriage is still alive and kicking all over Northern and even Southwestern Nigeria.All you e-warriors just typing bunch of drivel all over the net!! Ode!

Nigerians dont have the ability to read anything anymore..smh..This was my post on another thread...

Okay,so I decided to weigh in on this “Child Marriage” debate going on in Nigeria right now.I know it’s largely a waste of time,because the average intelligence of most Nairalanders is that of a gnat and most of you have made up your narrow minds without verifying any fact.Yes I’m talking about people like Delors,Kamsy10,Julieeccentric(smh)Fitzy4real that just read the headlines on newspapers and just run with it.
For the avoidance of any doubt, I’m a Yoruba guy from a strong Christian background and I abhor old men marrying kids as much as the next guy.But can you people please show where and how the current amendment of S.29 leads to the marriage of under age kids ?
As Naptu has taken great pains to explain what the Section of the Constitution says is:
29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.

(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above;

(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age.

The amendment is seeking to delete (b) above and that’s what Yerima objected against and argued that its against Islamic Law. Now for the sake of argument, lets assume that the sub-section is deleted. THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT S.29 IS TALKING ABOUT RENUNCIATION OF CITIZENSHIP AND NOT MARRIAGE. How hard is that to understand? So “FULL AGE” here is talking about age to renounce.Thats what this sub-section is talking about..the CAPACITY to renounce citizenship.

Now talking about AGE TO MARRY, the fact remains that whether we like it or not, for states that have adopted Sharia Law, this is the Law that applies. We may not like it(I certainly do not), but that’s the law as prescribed by this same 1999 Constitution. As long as Sharia Law allows underage marriage, it’s going to continue. That’s what S.277 and S.278 of the Constitution has guaranteed.
277. (1) The Sharia Court of Appeal of a State shall, in addition to such other jurisdiction as may be conferred upon it by the law of the State, exercise such appellate and supervisory jurisdiction in civil proceedings involving questions of Islamic personal Law which the court is competent to decide in accordance with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section, the Sharia Court of Appeal shall be competent to decide -
(a) any question of Islamic personal Law regarding a marriage concluded in accordance with that Law, including a question relating to the validity or dissolution of such a marriage or a question that depends on such a marriage and relating to family relationship or the guardianship of an infant;
This is the Constitution. It supersedes any other law of the land including the Child Rights Act of 2003 makes it unlawful for anyone under 18 to marry. SO,JUST SO YOU KNOW,THE CONSTITUTION OF NIGERIA AS IT STANDS TODAY ALLOWS CHILD MARRIAGE UNDER SHARIA LAW.
So if you want to outlaw child marriages, start writing to your Senators and HOR members to amend S.277 and to make sure that the Sharia Courts of Appeal of a State are precluded from having jurisdiction over the validity of marriages, removing the matter from Sharia Law and placing the issue of age and capacity to marry firmly under the Child Rights Act 2003 ,instead of jumping on the bandwagon of people without common sense like Stella Damascus or whatever her name is that stated that she read extensively on the issue. Begs that question that what exactly did she read ?? Go on youtube and make a video,go on twitter and retweet frequently.But make sure that you are actually talking about the relevant issue and not about a person’s age and capacity to renounce citizenship.

This is a link to a news article that was published two weeks ago..Make of it what you will..http://thenigeriatoday.net/kudirats-murder-plot-to-free-al-mustapha-revealed-former-nba-president-ibori-judge-step-in/

Going by majority of these posts,its clear that Nairaland is mostly populated by very young and immature buffoons.Did anybody even bother to research what was Al-Mustapha's defence at the High Court ? Before chorusing "he was following orders". Thanks jare Delafruita[b]for your insightful response..My only hope is that these ragtag mob on this website does not really represent the intelligence of the average Nigerian youth..Then Naija is well and truly fvckd!!

Efemena_xy: Well, if I'm being shockingly one-sided, perhaps it because I refuse to join the pity-party band wagon of women who tell stories aimed at making people bash the husband. There are always two sides to a story. The man isn't here to give his version of events. So the least she can do for her readers, under the circumstances, is to give us a balanced view of what really is happening there.

If she's bold enough to seek help on an internet forum full of faceless strangers, she should be bold enough to state what part she played here, no matter how unappealing it may sound. So far, all I've seen from her initial post so far is her painting the husband out to be some irresponsible devil hell-bent on destroying a still new marriage, while she, the woman, is the saintly-all-suffering pregnant wife. Sorry, it doesn't quite wash jare.

As per your last statement, now come on debosky! You are a man. Women are generally more vocal than men so I have no doubt this woman would have scored dozens of goals against her husband during one of her numerous verbal tirades. Most men rather than argue with such a woman would simply pick up their coat, phone and car keys and leave her to stew in her own juices.

She's already pointed out that he's left home in the past under similar circumstances, so she should understand that the last thing this man wants from her is a litany of insults guised as having medium to heavy arguments, whatever those are.

Dude why cant you comment based on the facts as the woman presented her story ?? Instead of going on a rant as to what MAY or MAY NOT be the husband's side Some people sef !!

sanniemoe: But don't u think Tony Fash was a blockhead. From what I picked here,Egbon yen ko ni ori to n ro mehn.. As in,a medical student with a bright future,messed up almost a decade of his life..what has he achieved with all the trouble he made then? Afrika was a law student( I understand what activism meant to him) but a medical student That bros needs to be whopped 20strokes everyday for the next 10years

You dey mind all these mumus here I was there when Tony Fash was prostrating and crying in front of Prof.Lamikanra of Pharmacy begging them to reinstate him.They are now here saying he was a hero,he was this or that..Bunch of Idiots!! Read his interview and he stated that they were strategising and this and that..Loll..all he did was beg until they finally took pity on his azz...

eldoradoxx: Nigeria is a constitutional democracy where law and order and not sentiment reigns. By our laws waterways of such category belong to and are managed by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Therefore by simple interpretation of law and using some principles of law quid quid plantatur solo solo cedis, he who owns the land (water in this case) owns everything on it. Since the water on which the bridge was built belongs to Federal Government of Nigeria, the bridge is deemed to belong to Federal Government of Nigeria and Lagos state cannot by any means toll that road or even control traffic there. I share similar case here in Edo where Edo State Traffic Management Agency now impound vehicles on Federal Highways in Benin. Recently they impounded mine for traffic violation though after a street fight with their officers and serious debate with their boss in their office, they reduced their fine of 20k to zero kobo. But I have decided to go to Court to challenge the action of Edo state government in permitting its agencies to regulate traffick, impose fines for traffick violation on a Federal Highway. It is illegal.

My friend stop quoting latin maxims from your GNS class..The FG were fully aware that LASG was builiding a bridge on their water ways and they stood by and did nothing.The fact that the bridge is going to be tolled was widely publicised.Go read up on Promissory Estoppel.The FB cant turn around now and say this is our bridge.In the alternative,if the FG want to claim the bridge,they'll have to pay up the whole cost of the bridge to LASG and then untoll it ir knock it down as they see fit...

seyi360: Axes were used on every one that was killed, as it was d signature of a "" attack.

Mr Seyi,there was no axe used on Afrika.It was a gunshot to the head.Poor dude was sleeping and didnt even know what hit him.Any other version of the story is mere hearsay...

What is this one saying? You see, people like you are REALLY ignorant! You would rather submit to oppression, rather than insist you be treated with RESPECT and get your fair rights at any cost! Well today, I am more than certain I am way ahead of bottom suckers, like you who will teach your children to be boy - boy, like you their fathers! For your information, I will say confidently that a lot of students, not just me, will find something useful to do with their time. Do you think everyone just did whatever they liked and ran all around the place like headless chickens? Well, it was the culture in Ife that if you wanted to persuade the majority of the students to your point of view, you came to congress and go up to address the gathering marshalling your points to convince us. Lilly-livered people like you have even no chance up there and I don't care what you think about that. Well, I finished from one of the Engineering programmes, started working the first month after graduation, before service, with about 4-5 job options and when I left Nigeria, I didn't come here as a refugee or run-away fugitive hiding from the cops. I started working 3 weeks after moving to the West (and one of the best countries here), my salary was about 1 M / month within 1 year, so what do you have to say about that? So the culture of "Aluta" you think is a derogatory thing is really an intellectual, vibrant grasp of the issues, powerful communication and standing for what you believe in - with others! I am sure you have never stood for anything except following the crowd! Do you know what FREE people did to be free? Did you read about US History or you think they are what they are today by being boy - boy, gbewudani to the
British Crown?

Eneze1: if its possible I will give you more than one like, the problem with us in this country is because a lot of people can't stand up for their right, I wonder at times if we don't stand up for our right and fight for ourselves who will, u think people in power who don't give a damn about anybody

At the risk of derailing this thread,i'm gonna reply you..i can see that you are still drinking from the same Kool Aid that Student Union peeps fed you back in Ife..so you finished in Ife and moved to the West then got a good job! Big freaking deal! One would think its only people from Ife that have moved abroad after finishing school! What oppression are you talking about ?! Asking students to pay hall dues (90 Naira) in 1995 is oppression abi ? Students in Halls of Residence in UI were living like kings at that time paying dues of 600 Naira...Hardly an earth shattering figure.But for that you get 2 toilet rolls every week,cable in the halls of residence where you watch soccer every weekend in the comfort of your halls,toilets and bathrooms cleaned 3 times a day by outside contactors ! But no,Ife students and their numbskull SUG must have their Aluta and therefore live like animals! When i got inside Faj for the first time i was well and truly shocked of the living conditions! Ife and the stupid culture of we must have Aluta every year whether we had a genuine grievance or not was very childish! The only session that was drama free was when Vakama was president but when you hear Awo boys talk about him,youd think that guy was a leper..All because he did not wage a meaningless war against the school!
I was there when an Awo boy dragged a Quarters boy outta of his car and slapped him...what was his offence ? He was "oppressing" the rest of the other students with his BMW during Aluta...thats the kind of oppression you talking about abi ? And FYI i live in one of the best countries in the Western world too and meet loads of other Nigerians doing very well in the professions...guess what ? Majority of them did not go to Ife...

se.xkilza.phull:
Thank you guy! This is why it is annoying! Tell me which schools in Nigeria you will walk from Awo to Health Sciences/Pharmacy/BOO 'C' at 12, am, 1 am, ... 3 am by yourself and nothing will happen, even when there is no light? That is about 20 - 30 minutes at dark hours! All the way to Ajose? Ife never towed that boy-boy, follow-follow attitude of a lot of Nigerian schools then and today!

I'm glad you enjoyed going on strike for 11 months! But i can assure you that majority of people dont.The thing that amuses me about Ife students and Alumni is that you guys think that constant Aluta without no justification is a good thing.Thats precisely what i could not stand about that school!! Every Session,each SUG government must have something to fight about.Very Stupid and immature students!So all Aluta in the middle of nowhere in Ife,what has it achieved ?!It has cured the corruption in Naija abi ? Ife students want constant electricity,water,lawns to be mowed everything to be in perfect condition and then they dont want to pay anything in fees.Afterwards they finish and the go pay 12,000 pounds a year for MSc in England!
All of you hailing Tony Fash,were you there when he was begging all over the school,him and Obe Sere for them to take him back after expulsion ?! When he was wandering all over Lagos,looking unkempt like a tout ? No,all you you had completed your degrees and moved on with your lives!!
