HungerBAD:
Strong man.

It is nice the Abiola's are appreciating you. Kudos.

When we told them not to write off the influence of this man in the scheme of things in today's Nigeria, we got laughed at.

Oyegun is the first casualty of Tinubu's Tsunami.

Fashola all of a sudden has gone silent and behaving himself very well. Tinubu is my leader and my allegiance is to you Sir.

Why are you always causing fight where there is none? What has Fashola been saying before now that is anti Tinubu? It is in public domain when Tinubu said Fashola take advice more than incumbent Governor. During the recent Lagos APC State Congress where he declared that he will not endorsed anyone. That all are now his political sons and daughters.

New one at Oroyinyin Street, Lagos Island is 20k.

Twisting and cutting short what were said by PMB and Trump to portrays negativity. 2019 is Around the corner and PVC shall do the judgment

tolexy007:
who cares?....Only the enemy of American will hate Trump at this moment.

Same as Buhari

Thanks for this reminder

KOPT33:
I am the first son of my father who is now late.

When my father died some 11 years ago, I relocated to Lagos to finish my schooling. I lived with my aunt then but I had to leave their home because I was being abused. Upon leaving my aunt's house, things became so difficult for me but I persevered with my education till I finished my bachelors.

During my lean years, I fell out with most of my family members. My mom refused to speak to me for three years, I was essentially the outcast of the family. During this period, my mom and some elders in our family gave out my sisters hand in marriage.

The couple had a trad/white wedding. Bride price was paid, all the customs of our people were followed save for one: the consent or knowledge of the first son. I wouldn't get to hear about this marriage until six months later. That night, I cried because their action proved that I was nobody, a nothing to my mom and siblings.

Anyways, I kept on working hard and soon became comfortable. I mended fences with everyone in my family, but even at that, no one offered an explanation why things unfolded the way it did or an apology. I didn't make any noise, I just picked up myself and moved on after committing the lessons learned to mind.

Six years and two children later, my sisters marriage has hit the rocks.

Now they're asking me as the first born to mediate and talk to the man.

I REFUSED.

The man (sister's husband) won't speak to my mom or the other elders he had been dealing with regarding a possible reconciliation. My family know me to be a good mediator and peace maker and they are not wrong.

I refused because there is no point mediating in a marriage that was done over my head.

As it stands now, I have no interest in playing head of house or anything of such nature. I send money, I help make connections, I foot bills for everyone in the family but I leave their decision making to them since they discounted me right from the very beginning. I have no interest whatsoever in becoming a leader in that family.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

From your account you fell apart with your aunt, this definitely affects your relationship with your family because they may believed you didn't represents the family very well. Though I could not understand not in talking terms with your mother for three years. Don't believe that you are totally right in the whole happenings.

You've forgive them according to your submission. But you have not for go. For the fact that you are one of the most blessed among your siblings today doesn't mean you always be the richest.

This is an opportunity for you to right the wrong please go ahead and reconcile your sister with her husband, there and then you can make your pronouncements that their marriage is not yet valid. Use the occasion to right the wrong. It is GOD that crown your efforts many are educated and did hustle more than you do yet are not OK financially.

Please be a good leader God had appointed you. If you don't play any role and they both reconcile. What will be your feelings.

As for your mother you will never know her value until she is no more. May God gives her longer life. During your years of differences with your family do you thinks she will not always remembered you in her prayers? Even up till now you don't know and will never know her full role in your life spiritually and otherwise.

Please remember your Dad and be a true leader. Don't listen to those who are yet to understand what life is all about.

It Will take some time before this bridge get off the ground.

They still have to pay billions in compensation, deal with court cases and demolish hundreds of priorities.

It will get done, but not anytime soon.

Ambode have trashed the 4th mainland bridge it is so glaring. He treats Ikorodu as not part of his ideal Lagos. I hope they will response with their votes.

That Oshodi bus terminal at N23Billion is over inflated.

Is it a serviced flat, if not the tenants should coordinates themselves and fixed or replace the pumping machine. A new pumping machine can not cost 25flats more than 1k each. The last price I bought a submersible pumping machine was 14k even with inflation. It can not be more than 20k. If is a serviced flat maintenance and repair will be done from the service fees being paid. If not the tenants should stop doing big men and coordinates themselves better.

Just write Pencom and do the follow up. Pencom will be the one to sue your former employers if payments is not made after its intervention. It is a criminal offense not to remit 7working days after payments of monthly salary.

The guy in question is a left footer. I can confirm to you he is a leftist

Ronaldo remains the best

Op after the 40% deduction. For example a property valued at N10Million after the deduction you have N6Million to be charged LUC on. What is the percentage rate used to arrive at N15,000.00? Op pease stop spreadiing lies.

This Ambode government is insensitive, that is how he introduced the wicked water bill until which is been challenged in a court of law. Same way he increased land survey rate, for places like Ikorodu, Badagry, Epe and other agrarian Communities from a 180k to 350k. Lagos Mainland like Surulere from 180k to 600k and now survey for Lagos Island and Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi are now N1Million and N1.5Million respectively.

Whenever he introduced the wicked bills and laws he will ensure the media are salient about it, as they are paid to do so you can only read such from media not popular in the southwest. Now that Lagosians are complaining because have been served the wicked LUC bill, you are here again trying to misinterprete, misinform and decisive people to accept the wicked bill.

For the first time in this country, public school students were provided with school buses to aid transportation. Op, are you okay? What do you mean by the emboldened? This is so 1999-2007 project. Many governors then (I remember Achike Udenwa and Chimaroke Nnamani) had these free buses.

Even during the second republic there were scholars buses in Lagos provided by Jakande led government

DavidEsq:
Guilt is a matter of proof beyond reasonable doubt, which can only be done in a court of law. Chukwuma's guilt as u put it can only be determined by a court of law and it is for EFCC to prove it and not to duplicate his trial. It is an abuse of court process, if the same trial for the same alleged offence is b4 anoda court of law.
As for the bench warrant. The FHC in Lagos was wrong to issue it on the basis that Innoson Boss held the court in contempt by failing to appear before the court, without first resolving the issue of its jurisdiction to try the matter and to punish for contempt.
In a general sense, that is the procedure. However, were wat is in issue is the jurisdiction of a court to make an order in respect of contempt, then the court must first resolve the issue before going ahead to make any order.
The counsel to Innoson Boss challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case and and to punish for contempt. Wat shld t judge have done?
She shld hav first resolve the issue on weda she had the jurisdiction to punish for contempt, before making the order for his arrest.
In Ebhodaghe V. Okoye, the Supreme Court said that "jurisdiction is extrinsic and sui generis in nature and the power of a court to punish for contempt is inherent in the very creation of the court and such powers do not depend on the court's jurisdiction to hear or try the substantive matter and as such, a court which ordinarily has no jurisdiction to try a matter can also punish for contempt". Or even if the court's jurisdiction is being challenged, the court still has the powers to punish for contempt. But the only time a court cannot punish for contempt is "if it is its power to punish for contempt that is being challenged".
From the argument of Innocent's counsel, both the jurisdiction to try the case and to punish for contempt were in issue. This is because the counsel argued that the court did not have jurisdiction to try the offence and since it had no jurisdiction to try the offence, it had no powers to make orders.

Innocent's counsel is just buying time and results to abuse of court process. How can an accuse in a criminal case file for No Jurisdiction without formal arraignment and taking of plea? It is a straight forward case.

What of power transmission, if electricity is not remove from the exclusive list then what are you restructuring?

This guy is a big fraud. He believes he was smart, but the girl damaged him more than he can ever imagined. From he knows that the girl is a call girl. Instead of paying for her service he was playing pranks (low battle) when she couldn't burge he decided to offer 10k. After she refused to collect the 10k he threatened to take her to were she will be beaten by Hausa boys. He took her to a place and spoke to an Hausa guy to scare her. He took her to where he thought she will be dealt with but the girl saw someone she knew and raised alarm he raped me. Do you expect the lady to keep quiet without a fight. The guy is extremely arrogant and wicked. A broke ass roaming about club houses.

The Op's views are outrageous people like him should be placed under serious scrutiny. Pushing his post to front page has helped in identifying his ideology which is weird and smacks ignorance of the religion (Islam) he believes he is preaching.

psychologist:
Thought this babe is from Ikorodu

Yes but spent her childhood in Mushin. Palm Avenue area of Mushin is one of those cool areas of Mushin then. Many people are not aware that there are some very reserved areas in Mushin like Palm Grove Estate, Shepherd Hill Estate and the likes. Land use charges by Lagos State government for Palm Grove Estate is higher than Magodo, Ikeja, Lekki it is only Ikoyi and Victoria Island that are valued more than Palm Grove Estate. And it is under Mushin Local Government.

Yes power was restored around 2.24am today in Lawanson area of Lagos

alBHAGDADI:
She is right with her statement. But is she willing to do that? Will her Quran allow her do that? Doing such is going against Allah's commandment that says you are to do the exact same evil that has been done to you.

In her post, she preached love to those who hurt you and caused you pain. Is that what Allah told Muslims to do?

Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain

Just as your moniker you are big fraud. Why don't you quote that verse complete.

Modified: There is nothing like Sahi Buhari 50:369 chapter 50 in 11. Same applies to 52: 177 you quoted 52 ends in 16. Try and get a hard copy not adulterated soft copy that full online. Created by hypocrites you will discovered that these sites doesn't belong to Muslims but disguised enemy of Islam just like your moniker. I couldn't comprehend why a supposed Christian will choose a name synonymous with ISIS. Actually it is people like you that are behind ISIS.

Is it only me? The colours are not the same. One is dark blue and the other stone black

According to the Holy Quran the Christians are called the people of the Book. We are allowed food given to us by them. Once we are allowed to eat their food why can't we greet them. Many Christians rejoice and greet Muslims during Eider -Il Fitri and Eid-il Adha. We can't we reciprocate that. We are enjoined to reciprocate good with good and be patient and avoid retaliation for bad deeds. I have been on social media defending the Hijab lady Amasa Firdaus and I do adhere to Quran and Hadiths but no Hadiths or Fatwa is superior to the verdict of the Holy Quran. Once Quran allows Muslims to eat their food greeting them should not be a sin. That Hadiths of you are doing like a group you are a member of the group is not enough. As it is not an act of worship but socialization, which is within the confined of the permissible in Islam.

This is straight and direct no sentiment. Thumbs up GTB

Omoh see wahala, just found that Nigeria voted in favour that's against the US,

Hope it wouldn't affect visa applications sha...

Those in Green Voted in support of the Egyptian drafted resolution (against) America recognition, those in Red voted against the resolution (support), those in Yellow abstained from the voting process while those without any symbol besides their names were absent at the session.

I payed for a room selfcontain in abule egba area to be paid installmentaly. The agreement was that the landlord needs to renovate the room, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen. And i was told there is water in the house. The total package of the rent is #150,000. I gave him 70,000 out of the money for the renovation as agreed to balance 80,000 when packing in.

The issue now is that the landlord has change the agreement showing me unexpected attitude. He told me he needs to buy pumping machine after there was agreement there is water in the house. Infact, he is denied some things to be done in the house and called me to balance the 80,000 before the work continues.

What i observed is that he is trying to use my money to renovate his property. I don't trust him anymore.

please is there anyway i can get my money back because i have lost interest to live in the house. Meanwhile, i video him when paying him. Please Lawyers and human right in the house, what should i do？

If you don't want to loose your money pack-in into the apartment and claim possession. Pay him the balance of #80,000. Follow it up with a gentle man written agreement so as to complete the repair and make the apartment comfortable for you. The money spent should be used as rent payment for the period the amount can cover. If you don't apply wisdom you will get your money in piece mill and another person will be the beneficiary of the initial investment and patience.

Whether you contact SARS or whoever it will amount to nothing this is pure rent affair and as long as the apartment is yet to be occupied the best you can is wait till a new tenant comes forward and your money shall be refunded. They know how to make statements when you get to police station or even court. SARS men not even answer you for now going by the recent crisis they are still facing based on their actions.

Please apply wisdom.

Buhari did not know politics, the NASS swap masses effective projects in 2017 budget with constituency projects. FG claimed no money, releases only 15% of that to the NASS. When 2018 budget was NASS said 2017 budget should run till March 2018 so as to get more funding for the constituency projects smuggled into 2017 budget. Buhari lobby Saraki and Dogara, they promise the 2018 budget will be passed before the end of the year 2017. Alas NASS members only understand language of personal interest. Saraki will argue maturely that there are questions to be answered while the less intelligent like Dino will throw tantrum with uncoordinated reasons. How can 1.1Billion in stamp duties and 300Million expected from NNPC be equal to €5.5Billion. There maybe monies yet to be remitted Dino is just carrying the roles assigned to him in the hide and seek game of getting maximum money for NASS constituency projects. Smuggling in constituency projects into the 2018 budget may not be that easy. After all the Executive have already taken care of themselves towards 2019. Bunch of thieves.

Just write PENCOM with your details: Your name, pension identification number, your monthly salary, amount deducted (%), if it is 8% that means your employer is to pay the 10% balance that means your is expected to remit 18% of your monthly salary to your RSA every month. That is in line with the 2014 revised pension. But some companies are yet to adopt that, that means it can only be 7.5% employee employers giving a total of 15%. What ever the case employer's are obliged by the law to make remittance into employees RSA not later than 7 working days after the payments of every monthly salary. Try and down the latest pensions act from the PENCOM site for better understanding of your right.

DerideGull:
Do you not think you are one among numerous reasons Nigeria is hell pity? For the sake posterity, ask yourself if EFCC is the correct agency or law enforcement department to involved in a contractual case between a citizen of Nigeria and Bank operating in Nigeria. This is a case of police not the political arm of government known as EFCC. This is the reason Ndigbo talk about marginalization and agitate for nation state. The so-called DANGOTE has never been invited talk less arrest by the witch hunting dog of Mohammadu Buhrai's government called EFCC.

Once it has to do with finance and economy EFCC will investigate so far there is petition in respect of fraud or sharp practice. Go to EFCC and see numbers of loan defaulters. Even those that borrowed from Micro Finance Banks. What do you think will happen if a bank customer be it corporate and individual borrowed money and decided not to pay? Let the EFCC investigate, it is not prosecution. The hullabaloo being created is suggesting that there are fears of infractions and other monumental financial yet to be discovered. I have seen a corporate firm borrowed 15Billion for importation, it sold the oil made profit and decided not to pay the loan nor the interest accrued. Lets wait and see what will happen.

EFCC IS IN ENUGU, Y DO THEY HAVE TO COME FROM LAGOS?


Y DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE IVM BOSS TO LAGOS?

YORUBA PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT THEY ARE CROSSING A VERY FINE LINE.


FORGET, OVER FAMILIARITY, LOOK VERY CLOSELY, U WILL NOTICE THAT IGBO PEOPLE IN GENERAL HAVE CHANGED.


WE ARE HEADING FOR A VERY BLOODY CONFLICT WITH YORUBAS.

Why are you like this? Who told you there are more Yoruba than Igbo in EFCC Lagos Office? Is EFCC not an investigation body of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Hatred is a big disease

morereb10:
The controversy surrounding the Nigeria Bar Association and the Unilorin student who was denied a call to Nigeria Bar has been generating controversy since two days now. Even the President of Nigeria Bar Association have waded into the controversy as promised that everything will be resolved as soon as possible.

[b]The former Aviation Minister Chief Femi Fani-Kayode (SAN) [/b]has blamed the student in question Amasa Firdaus, who was denied ‘call to bar’ by officials of the Council of Legal Education (CLE) for failing to remove her veil, otherwise known as hijab.

Fani kayode said Firdaus was only being childish and disingenuous as Nigeria is a secular state and she cannot insist on wearing a religious garb during a secular ceremony. The former minster, while reacting via his Twitter handle said;

”The girl that insisted on wearing her hijab during her call to the Nigerian bar was being childish and disingenuous. ”You cannot insist on wearing religious garb during a secular ceremony and she is not the first Muslim to be called to the Nigerian bar. Nigeria is a secular state.”

See his post below and people's reactions.

Op Femi Fani Kayode is not a SAN.

Ogunlewe know why he said that, and I believe the PDP reconciliation committee knows better. Ogunlewe is just trying to make true the reconciliation more difficult by saying Wike should not border to apologise to anyone. Wike may not need to apologise, but Ogunlewe saying that is just to get at his perceived enemy within Southwest which is not good for them now.
