This seeming increase in housemaid being caught doing one evil or the other
is looking like bad scripted acts.

I believe most are fake or false allegations for reason best known to the oga/madam involved.

Moreover, the video evidence often turn out to be short clip of bullying an helpless maid
into saying whatever the master wants.

Nonsense.
The drivers should be arrested and thrown in jail.
You cannot terrorise the public because you have a disagreement with some task force members.

APCHaram:
The testimony and evidence of a mentally certified impaired individual does not hold in any court .

That's nonsense.
There are hundreds of mental health issues.
Very few of them preclude a witnesses' testimony from being taken.


Moreover, a court martial is not a law court, its primary role is to make the army
look good and justice secondary. And Ruth already committed a punishable offense by going public in their eyes.
Such issues are supposed to be treated hush-hush.

This army release repeated the ambiguos term "Medically vulnerable" to hide the
serious crime that have been committed.

When an officer become incompetent, the right thing to do is to discharge them
but the boss kept her in the force serially medicated for his own purpose.
A perfect patsy.

There was no investigation.
The Nigerian army exonerated the accused because the victim allegedly has mental health problems.
Millions of Nigerians allegedly have "mental health" issues and are still functioning members of the society.

In what universe does the mental health of a victim automatically makes the suspect innocent?

MEEVEET:
There is absolutely nothing like that

Nigeria made a mistake by kidnapping him that rendered their already weak case useless

That's basic law...

Which law, can't you quote the relevant section?

They can keep Holding him all they want but they can't convict him

Public perspection about kanu is gradually changing

Public perception in which country?

Some of you just love living in dreamland.
Public perception can't get the Nigerian government to solve existential
problems such as insecurity and hunger that can threaten its existence.

Is it a politically inconsequential case that the government will decide to fold
based on public perception?

Another misleading report.
No business person will boycott cheaper products of same quality for any reason.

What happens is that some major marketers have import contracts spanning months,
until those contracts are concluded or voided, imports will continue.
Also, Dangote refuses to deal with small marketers who are willing to buy from it.

The quickest solution will be for NNPC to step in and buy diesel from Dangote and then
redistribute to smaller marketers.

The other option is to wait till the issue resolve itself.

hedonido:
True, but he wouldn't put out this official position without the Ayatollah's explicit approval. So we can say that he is acting as the Ayatollah's mouthpiece on this matter.

Not really.
The Iranian president is like a super minister/PR guy under a real president(Supreme leader).
He is restricted to certain roles locally.
He has the right to say a lot of things to make the country look good but not implementations or major deals.

Just say liberal Tunisians take to the streets.
That is not how a typical Tunisian crowd looks like.

He is a figure-head at most.
The real power lies with the Ayatollah.

Dalohad:
So why did you detain your business partner in the 1980s?

How does this negate the fact that the judgement was based on business contract
and not "illegal" detention?

Dalohad:
Sowore may sue Nigeria in the US for all the unlawful detentions in DSS custody.

This is a business and not a political settlement.

This one is confusing national with local elections.
Voter apathy or not, there is no way a Bini man will win this election.
It has been zoned to the Esan group.

MadPolitician:
I'm not necessarily arguing against borrowing/lending. I'm a businessman, i should know the importance lending/credit in advancing the goals of any business/country.

That's good.

I'm talking about the INTENTIONAL WEAPONISATION of loans given to poor African nations and other targeted economies in Latin America and Asia by western lenders, especially the ubiquitous IMF and the world bank.

As a business man, do you consider the loans you take(if you ever did) a form of weaponisation?
Why or why not?

Are you saying only rich nations should be given loans and the poor ones banned from such?
If so, is there any economic theory you are basing your recommendations on?

These loans are given to mostly corrupt governments in the developing world, with the deadly intention of forcing these struggling economies deeper into the "debt hole", while turning their scarce earnings into profits for the real owners of the IMF and the world bank; western imperialists

Every government is corrupt.
It just differs in manner and magnitude.

Only about 4 countries don't qualify for world bank loans.
Are you saying the rest are administered by "corrupt" governments?

Marvyx:
That APC still got votes tells you there's no hope for Nigeria, if you think after all the shege, BAT wouldn't win in 2027, you really don't know your countrymen.

This country is not changing anytime soon. Bitter truth.

You don't understand Nigeria's politics but majority of voters do.
Nigeria has no political party, they are just platforms.

It is the candidate that get voted and not the party.
This is especially the case in local elections.

Ttalk:
Nigeria and Africa don't need IMF and World bank loan.

Are you suggesting that Nigeria need no loan or just not from world bank?

Why is there always condition attached to loan given. If you know how the sharks works, you'll see that Africa will continue to sink in deeper debt regardless the amount of loan given.

Is there a loan without conditions?
I will be very interested in such loans.
As far as I know, every serious loan has conditions that are designed to help
the lender recoup their investment.

Why has Nigeria not self sufficient in power, steel, refinery? They won't borrow to finance a project that will tranform the economy but will borrow for frivolities.

You should be asking your government and not the banks.

BTW, loans don't transform economy, government policy does.
No country can borrow itself out of poverty.

Have you ever see IMF condemn any African leader on corruption?

Again, you go the typical route of expecting foreigners to help you solve local problems.
That is not going to happen.
IMF is a bank, not a universal police officer/judge to help you fight corruption which you
can't do locally.

I am sure IMF must have talked about corruption uncountable times in the past.
But it is wishful thinking to expect such talks to deter any official from obtaining their own
slice of national cake.

But such talks are meaningless regardless of where they come from.
Condemnation or talks wont stop any official from stealing.

malali:
So where i am confused is, Nigeria doesnt tolerate LGBT, But the women are free to do "runs"

America tolerates LGBTQ, But they will throw a billionaire in Jail for carrying runs girls ??

Please make it make sense

PS: For liberally minded adults only.

Your post is confusion.
First, LGBT has nothing to do with prostitution laws.
Such laws doesn't discriminate.

Second, Diddy is not a woman and as far as I know, none of the women that
were involved with Diddy has been arrested. So, the women are also "free" as in Nigeria.
Diddy was arrested for sex trafficking and not just prostitution.

Third, in Nigeria, it is illegal to procure women or girls for sex work.
It is also illegal to act as a love-vendor.
That we don't enforce certain laws doesn't mean the law doesn't exist.

In Nigeria, P. Diddy would have committed a crime simply by hiring prostitutes even though the police
won't take action. That's the only difference.

So Farouq's honeymoon with Dangote is over?

Ttalk:
However I believe a national discuss that would bring about new Constitution is urgently needed.

Each regime should be soleley responsible for it's liability and strick punishment to any adminstration who can't repay his loan at the end of it's tenure

Your suggestion is essentially a ban on borrowing.
It is impossible to implement for any national government.

Every country borrows.
Think of a country you consider strong and independent and you will
find out it is also borrowing from World Bank.
China borrows from world bank!

World bank and IMF are banks in most respect.
They want credit-worthy borrowers that are likely to pay back the loan.

It is not the case of those organizations looking for who to lend money to,
it is the desperate borrowers that are begging for loans.

In some cases, the borrowers are already in a financial mess which makes some
people associate the borrowing with the financial problems that triggered the
borrowing in the first place.

okay.

Kwankwaso cannot win.
He can only hope to get rewarded by Tinubu in 2031 for acting as a spoiler.

I supposed this is in response to Russia banning western media since 2022 Ukraine invasion.
It is pretentious of "African Stream" to claim to be the voice of Africans.
What is that supposed to mean?
Even Hundeyin cannot claim to be the voice of Nigeria just because he is from Nigeria
and works for African Stream.

In reality, African Stream is not different from other media houses like CNN, Aljazeera and GCTN which
promotes the voice of the government, owners, sponsors or management.

There is no media house without bias.
Yes, some are more biased than the other, but in aggregate, political issues
are always biasedly reported to conform with the sponsors agenda.

The cold war is back and I will advise Hundeyin to choose his side carefully given his refugee status,
because we could get to a point where cursory or dubious links to the enemy will attract serious sanction.

Namaster:
The Nigerian culture wants us to believe that growing OLD means growing in wisdom. But the fact is you CANNOT outgrow stupid.

He called men "lazy bumcums" who are "insecure" and "jealous".

No, he didn't call men lazy bumcums.
He called insecure men lazy bumcums for pressuring their wives to resign.
Note the difference?

Then he cited an example of men earning #1.5M per month. The fool!

Minimum wage in Nigeria is #70K. ANY man who earns #1.5M is DEFINITELY not a "lazy bumcum".

Again, you misunderstand the issue.
That's just an example!
If not insecurity, why would a man who earns 70K should be angry that his wife is earning say 90K

I have got an advice for you, only date women with no skills or little education.
High school dropout will be great.
With such a partner, you are guaranteed of being the "top" earner forever.
And there will be neither insecurity nor envy in your marriage.

Correct.

Shadomaan7:
I think it's too early for succession talk. It's not yet a year for the current governors to be thinking of who would succeed them.

You are thinking like a layman.
Succession talks never ends.
It continues from one election cycle to the other.
This is because any candidate who pauses their campaign would lose out.

olaniyilukman:
bro, you don't have a point at all and you sound like you are one the school owner that exploits your employees and you are enjoying all these simply because we have a weak labor law...

Labor law or not, rich or poor.
No country in the world are the average teachers high income earners.
They make up low to medium earners.

kokoA:
This UN general assembly is the most useless convergence of world leaders. All they do is talk and talk from morning till night for days. I miss the days of Gaddafi.

What actions did Gaddafi took at the UN general assembly?

okay.

hmm

washmibili:
If he does this for 5 years straight, Niger State will lead the north in HDI.

5 years?
More like 20 years if lucky.

darediamond:
May somewhere else in the world. Here isn Nigeria it is practically not so because THERE IS NO LAW MENT TO JAIL A WOMAN WHO ENGAGE IN PATERNITY FRAUD.

The capitalized part has nothing to do with what I stated.
Paternity fraud, even when it exists in written law, is never enforced unless
it was done in conjunction with other serious crimes.

Now, to the issue of Nigeria.
Even though Nigeria does not enforce child support.

Any child born within marriage legally belong to the father.
So, no man can come from anywhere to legally claim a child even with DNA evidence
as that constitute degrading the sanctity of marriage.

Also, note that a DNA test is only valid when ordered by the court and that requires
the consent of both parents if they are married.

A DNA-negative child may still enjoy the father's inheritance as long as they are
born within marriage.

Throwback:
You only admit that Israel is itself a terror state, and validate the claims of any country to nuclear and other forms of technology that others like Israel and the USA think only they should posses.

India achieved nuclear military technology by deceit, just as Iran and North Korea are currently doing.

So why do some think they are justified to posses technology that they fear others having?

Is that not the very fundamental expression of hypocrisy?

Just want to address your naive charge of hypocrisy.
It is natural for stronger parties, animals, humans, countries to want a grip
control over those they consider weaker and maintain dominance over them using various means.

Of course, the widespread liberal mindset over the past century have clouded
this fundamental aspect of human relationships on national scale.
Yes, some things have changed but a lot remains the same.

On a personal level, an individual may want equal rights for everybody but
that doesn't translate to nation states.

Just imagine a scenario where all the current nuclear powers lack it, wh is ile
the other side e.g Iran possess it, do you think the nuclear armed ones will
fold their hands while their "enemies" acquire the technology under the guise of equality?

Stop expecting morality from governments, especially on the issue of survival
and dominance.
