The National Assembly need to establish a law against jungle justice.

Yes. And emotional outburst as well as stupidity.

Modify.

The question now remains... What happened to the Okada man the victim was arguing with? And all those Okada men who took part in burning the victim, what happened to them?

I hope the Police round them up one by one and make a very vivid example of all of them. But hey, this is Nigeria, we still don't know what happened to the killers of Aluu 4.

Ripples Nigeria findings have uncovered that GSM service providers in the country defraud Nigerians to a whooping tune of about N547bn every year.
Nigeria has 149,787,120 active Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) lines as at November 2015 according to figures from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).


At N50 deductible on SMS every five days of subscription, invariably, Nigerians lose over N7.5 billion every five days, and N547b yearly through such unsolicited SMS.
This is not counting other unsolicited SMS that attracts N100 per week, and unsolicited calls that also attract separate charges.
In a move to address the situation, the House of Representatives during the weekend suggested a fine of N5million for GSM providers involved in unsolicited calls and text messages.
According to the lawmakers, unsolicited text messages are a breach to the privacy of phone users and a contravention of their fundamental rights as provided for in the Constitution.
Sponsor of the bill, Hon. Ali Madaki, said the Bill became imperative, as there was no law in the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Act specifically on text messages, which makes it possible for telecommunications service providers to fleece their subscribers through such unsolicited SMS.

According to him, the consumers are at the mercy of the service providers, who have taken full advantage of the absence of such laws to continue defrauding Nigerians.
Equally in the bill, online telemarketing is prohibited without prior consent or application by a subscriber.
However, Nicholas Ossai (PDP, Delta) among others, said unsolicited text messages does not need to stand alone as laws, as the NCC Act has enough laws to address the issue.
Expectedly, Speaker Yakubu Dogara and the House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila noted that privacy of subscribers should be an issue which the NCC Act was silent on.

The bill was unanimously passed after it was put to a voice vote by the Speaker, who said opinion of experts and stakeholders would be required at the public hearing stage to seek the opinion of Nigerians about unsolicited text messages.
While the debates continue, service providers continue to have a field day, smiling to the bank with the billions fleeced from Nigerian GSM providers.

Ripples Nigeria made the findings, not you, so why didn't you use them as your source instead of using your depraved blog as the source as if the findings was done by you?

Seun, I just fail to understand why you let this individual revel in plagiarizing any, and everything.

Into The BadLands. The fight scenes are awesome. Totally love it...

flamingREED:
You've gone astray, sister.
Jesus only is our messiah

Speak for yourself bro.

MizMyColi:
The unaccredited Institute of Noetic Sciences describes noetic sciences as "how beliefs, thoughts, and intentions affect the physical world".

You know you should read my poem "The Ism".

YourMain:
I do. Men and women both get discriminated.

So how come women scream more about it than men?

dareyyyy:
bros, I dey wait make thm talk now

Okay oh.

misspicy:
I don't think he was joking though

And what if he wasn't joking?

Sexytemi:
I was with my boyfriend yesterday, he was moody and different from the normal person i know, i asked him what was wrong, he said stress due to his going to Nigeria, i was also stressed due to the exams i had yesterday, but i was still excited to see him n be in his company, but his mood spoilt everything, then he said something that shocked me......

He said he impregnated another girl!!!, i just did like i didn't care cox of the stress and all, was just too tired to argue or shout at him....

After watching for sometime, he asked if i wasn't going to shout and all, and i said congratulations o, then he said he was just joking o, that he didn't impregnate any lady m, that he was just pulling my legs, i believe him o, cox i know he wouldn't dare that, but what i don't seem to get is his reasons for playing such a prank o.....

So ladies and gentlemen of nairaland, what do you think of the whole scenario?

He probably said that to see how you'd react. Besides, if he really impregnated a girl, what you gonna do other than break-up with him?

YourMain:
Sigh. The whole world.

Women are being discriminated. In the work place, in social roles and in politics. Even in education.

And you don't think men are being discriminated against too?

YourMain:
No discrimination between men and women...

And I'm forced to ask, who is discriminating against who?

dareyyyy:
I don't understand ooo . Does it mean that men don't contribute positively to the lives of women at all...obviously the statement completely exclude the family ie father, brother, cousins etc

Well you should have asked, how do you define success?

YourMain:
Feminists don't want any discrimination between men and women. They consider that men are being discriminated against too.

Oh yea? So what do feminist want?

Bitterleafsoup:
No choice am super tall 6'2 and am not going to lie I love when you have to stand on your toes to handle kiss me.
I only attract Alpha males dats 4 sure...

Hmm, just like me....

YourMain:
And this is also what feminism is trying to combat. So..

And what's that exactly if I may ask?

BUTCHCASSIDY:
Truth is when women put up threads bashing men, the men dont take it seriously. You women however take stuff about you too seriously

Now one would have expected creamish you to give your post a million likes, but hell no! Anyway, "don't sweat it". LOL.

Creamish:
Exactly. Don't sweat it.

How often have we seen girls sweating it here, over and over again?

amokeme:
lol, at the bold, if you have the opportunity to meet with the people you try to "prove" anything to in person, you will just cry.
Nigeria is tensed up, and NL is some people's only chance of getting attention or venting out frustration, you don't want to deny people that do you?. Just relax and enjoy the fun, don't loose your head over anything trust me.

Is that right? Now this sound like someone is generalizing. Why not back up the emboldened with action... Let's meet and I guarantee you that you will laugh.

Are you game? LMAO.

MrsPhyno:
Lol. I'm not getting into the logistics of prayer,
@bolded, alot of times you pray over things that you can't fix or change yourself.
We don't even know what the boy prayed about so we can't assume.

Critique away, then

Now there was this quote I heard in Justice League: The Flash Point Paradox. " Accept the things you cannot change. Have the courage to change the things you can... and have the wisdom to know the difference".

MizMyColi:

Lol
I'm happy you think of me in that light.
Lol

You see ehn.

We are all creators.
Our thoughts alone creates things.

So what if that boy touched that man as a point of contact and was wishing him all the good he could possibly think of for him at that moment.

When wehear the word "pray"
It evokes some kind of feeling that we are talking to some uninterested distant diety.

Lol

It's not always the case for some of us who pray.

Mizmycoli, you clearly do not understand sarcasm. But you're lovely anyway.

I see you've been doing some reading about 'Noetic Science' at the emboldened.

MrsPhyno:
Lol. Prayer is not saying "I'm going to do something". Prayer is saying "God, please do something". So your analogy is flawed I think.....

Yep! My analogy is flawed. But tell me, why do you guys pray and ask God to do something for you when God clearly has given you the power to do that very thing yourself?

I didn't say that prayer works and I'm not arguing that stance. I said the boy didnt hurt anybody. If we do bad things because we want to, why not "pointless things" such as prayer? It is at least comforting. So you guys can chill, the boy may be overly dramatic but he's not wrong.

Never forget, we critique the bad things as well as the good things. It works hand in glovehand

Brunel:
His prayer, has gone viral.
1. Greater audience that can potentially help the homeless man.
2. Put a smile on the face of the homeless man........ giving him hope potentially.
3. Gave hope to the Baltimore police officer that not all hope is lost. .......especially seeing the treatment of black young men in Baltimore, this can change the perception of blacks there.
4. Humanity.

Just a few points I think his prayer has done.

Cheers.

All what you guys are saying is just hypothesis. Gosh! Somebody will help him bla bla bla... Why do you people believe so much in abstracts

Did the person who took the picture later say the homeless man smiled? How can one even smile when one is hungry and homeless

Hope, yep! Hope! That thing that many humans love and cherish, forgetting that too much of it is disastrous as well as dangerous.

Humanity, *scoof*

iamayodeji:
Nigerians will always continue to be hyper-sentimental, even the cop that took the picture was only touched by the boy's passion and selfless attitude, not the act itself.

Yes! The celebrity bread seller turned model comes to mind. Lol.
