Romance › Rape Allegations: Court Throws Out Busola Dakolo’s Case, Fines Her N1m by Helpfromabove1(op): 4:00pm On Nov 14, 2019
A federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court sitting in Bwari has dismissed the suit filed by photographer, Busola Dakolo, against the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.

The court also ordered Busola to pay N1million for wasting the court’s time.

According to the PUNCH, Justice Oathman Musa, in his ruling on Thursday held that the matter amounts to injustice and an abuse of judicial process adding that the case is empty and purely sentimental.

Justice Musa said that the case was aimed more at cruelty than obtaining justice.

The court also awarded costs of N1million against Busola Dakolo and held that the fine should have been 10 times more because the court’s time was wasted.

Busola, who is also the wife of Musician, Timi Dakolo, in her suit filed in September, accused Fatoyinbo of rape. She, therefore, demanded “a personal letter of apology” from the cleric to show honest remorse for his misdeeds.

In the suit, which was filed on her behalf by her lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi and Co of Law corridor, Dakolo asked the court to declare that Fatoyinbo’s denial of his alleged acts contained jointly and/or severally through a press statement he released on June 28, 2019, had caused her continuous emotional distress and amounted to intentional infliction of emotional distress on her.

Fatoyinbo’s lawyer, Alex Iziyon (SAN), however, argued that the prayer could not be granted, describing it as a frivolous suit.

Fatoyinbo had earlier in a press statement responded to Dakolo’s allegations. He declared that he has never raped anyone before.

He thereafter asked the FCT High Court to dismiss the suit filed by Dakolo.

In an application filed through his lawyers, he also demanded that he is awarded a sum of N50 million as damages.

According to the application, he called for the dismissal of the suit on the grounds that it is incompetent and frivolous.

Science/Technology › Four-metre King Cobra Wrestled From Sewer In Thailand by Helpfromabove1(op): 10:56am On Oct 15, 2019
A feisty four-metre (13-foot) king cobra was pulled from a sewer in southern Thailand in an hour-long operation, a rescue foundation said Tuesday, describing the reptile as one of the largest they had ever captured.

Footage of the daring capture showed a man chasing the cobra — the world’s longest venomous snake — into a dark and cramped drainage pipe.

The cobra splashed around in water and tried to slither back into the pipe, but was pulled out by the tail after multiple attempts.

A security guard on the housing estate where it was found first alerted the rescue group on Sunday
Seven rescue workers, including me, went there,” said Kritkamon Kanghae, 26, adding that the estate was built on a plot that was once jungle.

Kritkamon said the snake was more than four metres long, weighed 15 kilos (33 pounds), and was the third-largest they had found.
It was later released into the wild.

Thailand is teeming with reptiles, and several species of cobra are native to the southeast Asian country.

References to the deadly snake fill folklore.

The main international airport was built on an area that used to be called “Cobra’s Swamp”.

Snakes have increasingly become a headache for residents in the Thai capital, where the fire department is sent out to respond to calls from alarmed residents

Authorities are reluctant to get rid of the reptiles because they help to control a rat population that could otherwise threaten crops and food stocks.

King cobras, however, mainly feed on other snakes — particularly the rat snake.

Fashion › Ladies Can Now Move About Topless In Six American States, Court Rules by Helpfromabove1(op): 8:12am On Sep 23, 2019
Ladies can now move about topless in six American states, court rules
Published


A federal court has made it legal for women in six American states to go topless in public.

As reported by the Washington Times, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Fort Collins, Colorado, topless ban, meaning women can now show more skin in the states of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Utah without legal repercussions.

The city of Fort Collins, Colorado, has decided to end its legal battle and not challenge the federal court’s decision.

The court had maintained that banning women from going topless amounted to “unconstitutional discrimination.”

Local officials previously claimed that the court’s ruling meant that women would be “parading in front of elementary schools or swimming topless in the public pool;” however, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals previously upheld a federal judge’s conclusion that deemed the ban discriminatory.


Because of this decision, women will now be able to expose their breasts in public in the six states as reported

Politics › Why Rivers APC Crisis Will Not End Now — Abe by Helpfromabove1(op): 6:07am On Oct 13, 2018
Senator representing Rivers South East, Magnus Abe has lamented the festering crisis in the Rivers state chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC, noting that the possibility of putting an end to it was uncertain as a result of the continued reign of impunity and disregard for dissenting views by some leaders of the party in the state. “The crisis in Rivers APC began long before Sen. Abe’s thanksgiving service to which Gov. Wike along with other governors, senators and ministers attended. The foundation of the crisis in the party is intolerance of dissenting views, impunity, high-handedness and lack of respect for others. Disregard for for all rules and laws including the constitution of the party and even orders of courts of competent jurisdiction. Until this is addressed the crisis will continue, and singing Wike as a song will not change anything,” the Senator said. In a statement yesterday issued on his behalf by Kennedy Friday of the Kairos Media Group the senator also dismissed allegations that he was being sponsored by the state Governor, Nyesom Wike to destabilize the party. “Our attention has been drawn to a statement issued by Mr. Chris Finebone whose election as Publicity Secretary of Rivers APC has been nullified by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction spewing fire and brimstone against a judicial officer and the court of law.

Politics › Fayose Presents Handover Note To Hos, Inaugurates Speaker’s House by Helpfromabove1(op): 5:58am On Oct 13, 2018
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has presented a handover note to the state’s Head of Service, Dr. Gbenga Faseluka.

The event took place during the special State Executive Council meeting at the new Governor’s Office in Ado Ekiti on Friday.



He also inaugurated the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly’s new residence named Rt. Hon Kola Oluwawole’s Residence.

Oluwawole was impeached on Thursday by 14 of the 26 members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.

Fayose told Oluwawole to see his impeachment as a price of leadership.

“If I were you, in the interest of Ekiti, I will tell them to carry on. Everything works for good.”

Speaking at the council’s meeting witnessed by some traditional rulers, the outgoing governor thanked the people of the state for the opportunity to serve.

He urged them to extend same cooperation to the incoming administration in the interest of the development of the state.

Fayose said, “What has a beginning must have an end. It is not the number of years spent but the quantity and quality of achievements.



“I’m a man who came, saw and conquered. I can’t finish all, I have done my best. History will be kind on me as a man who has given his best to the people. I will remember all for your support, I bear no grudges against anyone.”

Fayose said he would be available to answer any question on his administration.

Meanwhile, an Ekiti State High Court on Friday refused to grant a motion seeking to restrain the Governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, from dissolving the 16 local government councils.

The application was filed by the state’s Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, led by the Chairman of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government, Dapo Olagunju.

In his ruling, Justice Abiodun Adesodun, who subsequently adjourned the substantive matter till October 22, described the motion as pre-emptive, speculative and not being meritorious. He said there was no compelling fact in the application to warrant the granting of the order.

Politics › How Will Buhari And Atiku Debate Corruption? by Helpfromabove1(op): 5:45am On Oct 11, 2018
By the question of debate, I do not just mean the televised event where one man stands against his opponent and both make a pitch for the vote of the audience. The debate between the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the All Progressives Congress candidate and incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari, that I refer to is one about the power of impression to contour reality. The popular myth is that Atiku embodies corruption, but that Buhari is pure because of some specious morality that demands his luxuriating in poverty. Going by the frenzied manner Buhari’s media agents are yelling themselves hoarse since Atiku emerged the PDP presidential candidate, trying to warn us about corrupt politicians who could invade the national till if Buhari loses the election, it is obvious Atiku’s victory rattled their camp. In the next few weeks, the noise of “corruption” will rend the air, the din blocking our chances of hearing important issues. Whether his hands are clean or not, Buhari will appear before equity accompanied by his devout followers. What needs to be reiterated to them is that the impelling force of “corruption” has sagged, the message this time round is capability. And no, it is not a matter of sloganeering but a
demonstration of it.

When Buhari’s supporters say someone is “corrupt,” what they mean is that unlike Buhari, such a person has money and is not pretending to be suffering. To them, wealth accumulation process strips the soul of all decency and that supposition disqualifies one from any leadership position. They tend towards an extreme where poverty is treated as an aesthetic; a thing of beauty that ennobles the soul. They believe money is useful, but only as far as it services Buhari’s ambitions. That is why no matter how much they bloviate about corruption, their mouths can be momentarily fastened with the question of who funded Buhari’s 2015 election. Their mindset is that the effect of corruption on the polity matters, but only when it is perpetrated by someone outside the approved circle. As such, the issue of anti-corruption fight is one of the most important ones both candidates will face going into 2019, and it is also tricky because there are many false evidence appearing real.



In 2015, Buhari’s main selling point was the anti-corruption agenda, and he was lucky that he had a message that resonated with Nigerians who found the wanton and brazen misdemeanour of the Jonathan years frustrating. At the time, people had grown weary of a government where the nation was getting richer from her extractive industries while their lives remained perpetually abject. They had had it with a government where the President boasted that we are a prosperous nation because we have a political class that flies in private jets. People were done with an administration where terrorists sacked military barracks, soldiers went on strike because they were fighting Boko Haram with empty arsenals and emptier stomachs, while humongous sums were being allocated to defence. They would have no more to do with a government where impunity reigned; where even pastors abandoned pulpits and used their private jets to courier dollars for ungodly errands. The sins of Goodluck Jonathan’s government were overwhelming, and Buhari’s promise of refurbishing our vandalised polity by ridding us of corruption seemed like a breath of fresh air. The trouble is, Nigerians were so desperate for a more competent leader to emerge that they did not ask Buhari to define his idea of corruption or present his strategy to them for a critical evaluation.


Corruption is not always reducible to criminal acts, although Buhari’s idea of it seems unreconstructed from what he thought it to be in 1985. Corruption is multi-faceted; it ranges from abuse of political power to administrative waste, and to people exploiting the loopholes in the system to carry out fraudulent acts with impunity. Corruption is not all about a few bad men who have access to public funds abusing the privilege. If it were that simple, the problem of corruption would have been long solved all over the world. Even in the highly developed countries, corruption has been, and is still, a part of their social and collective history. That should tell us that corruption is a universal human problem and solutions should be approached from that perspective. To confront the problem of corruption, we need to borrow best practices from elsewhere where they have combined technology, the law, and the efficiency that comes with statistical integrity to fight both waste and the human tendency to take what belongs to the collective.


In the coming weeks, particularly when Buhari starts campaigning, his team will hold up his integrity before us although they must know that the times have changed. More of the Nigerians who voted Buhari’s integrity in 2015 now have the hindsight of experience to see his bad faith. We have seen the supposedly saintly President act unperturbed when some of his closest aides were embroiled in corruption scandals. Buhari’s ethos has been repeatedly dissolved when those his party had previously labelled the robbers of the Nigerian patrimony now have a seat at the APC table. When the country slipped on the corruption perceptions index by Transparency International, Buhari’s aides preferred to blame Nigerians for this loss of status. No, they refuse to look inwards and understand that Buhari’s inability to summon the moral courage to confront his own implication in the problem of corruption is a betrayal that demoralises through the ranks. Their stance on anti-corruption barely ever passes the level of self-righteousness.

As for Atiku, the cards are stacked against him for many reasons. Some of the beliefs that he is corrupt have a factual basis, while the others are the fluff generated by the propaganda machine that Olusegun Obasanjo used against him when both men, as President and Vice President, locked horns. The best bet for Nigerians in this knotty situation is not to defend Atiku with the same blind ferocity Buharists resort to defend their dear leader. It is to collective interest if Atiku is allowed to clearly define his understanding of corruption and highlight his strategy for combating it. One thing I am certain of is this: Atiku cannot possibly be more corrupt than any of the other politicians in power today including Buhari himself. The Nigerian political class is grossly unethical but rather than somebody “outsteal” the other, they balance one another out; they fund each other’s elections.


From the moment Atiku picked up the PDP candidature, the campaign started. Corruption and anti-corruption are going to be one of the biggest issues on which he will be interrogated, and the problem is that such obsession might clog other issues that need addressing. Going by how some of Buhari’s media team minders are pushing the question of Atiku’s “corruption” to the public through various media, one can tell that the battle for our votes has already begun. If there is one mistake we should not make, it is not to get hyper-partisan to the point that the candidates are not sufficiently questioned on how they understand corruption, and how they propose to deal with it. They should be able to produce clear strategies with realistic goals achievable within a defined time period,


On a final note, the Atiku vs. Buhari contest is going to be an interesting one for many reasons already elaborated and also for their histories. Both of them spent years jostling to rule Nigeria before Buhari achieved his aim in 2015. Atiku’s bid for the Presidency started as far back as 1992 during the SDP-NRC contests. One of the factors that favoured Buhari was the build-up of anger against Jonathan. Today, the same scenario is being repeated. Just like Jonathan, Buhari got into office accompanied by massive amount of goodwill but frittered everything. Three years after he was sworn in, Buhari has lost many of the voters who joyfully voted for him. It is equally doubtful if he has won over the hearts of others who did not vote for him. Buhari is now at the place where Jonathan was in 2014. When Jonathan saw looming defeat, he began taking a series of missteps that eventually cost him the election. The same can be said of Buhari. The question is if the build-up of momentum against the Buhari candidature is strong enough to sweep him out like it did Jonathan.
