fergie001: Disu personally requested he wanted a DCP for the role. Others went there as CSP.
Keeping with tradition, I guess. Until the day Frank Mba was first appointed, it was always a DCP. In fact, I was really surprised when we went suddenly from Young Arebamen, then a DCP, to Frank Mba, who was still an ASP or DSP - if I'm recalling events correctly.
bukatyne: This is the part that amazes me the most.
Suffering due to lack was your lived experience; yet nothing in your coconut head is telling you that you have to do it differently to avoid same patterns.
Mirasteel: NATO is using Ukraine to fight it's war, I hope you know the billions of dollars NATO has spent on Ukraine so that Ukraine won't fall?
You don't even expect me to tell you this.
Nato has not deployed any troops. So there's no equivalence to US and Israel co-deploying against Iran. Ukraine is alone in its war. Seems we're agreed on this.
Now, the issue of billions. Ukraine is being supported by the Europeans, who themselves aren't well off in terms of arms. Only the US was in a position to provide game-changing help, but what have we seen since Putin managed to get his man elected for a second term?
God1000: Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, a prominent UAE businessman, has demanded that Donald Trump explain why the United States chose to pursue war with Iran and whether the US President considered the potential risks to Gulf nations before launching the war jointly with Israel.
Billionaires hate wars. That's why Elon Musk was always pushing Ukraine to capitulate to Russia. They want to be alive to enjoy their billions and accumulate more.
Throwback: We do not know what medical condition the child suffered from before he was refrerred from Atlantis to Euracare. Euracare were not actually required to provide any care, except to prep the patient for his international travel where the needed care will be provided by Johns Hopkins Hospital.
What might be damning for Euracare is if there was an overdose of the propofol used for the anesthesia and also if the necessary mitigation/remedial services that might be required if things go south were not handy.
It's very sad to lose a child, a little one for that matter who depends on the parents to take the right decision. So I understand why the parents need to take this up to ensure that whoever is complicit is adequately punished and removed from access to other children who require them to be at their professional best.
But honestly, the way we manage health issues in this country is not really good. Go to government hospitals and see how people die like flies. A lot needs to be done.
This case has opened our eyes to our right to careful handling of health cases. If not the person involved, Nkanu would have long been buried and no Doctor would be suspended for negligence.
I feel for the Doctors, and I pray that our medical practitioners to be diligent in handling health cases.
theophorus: Initially, I blamed the Medical folks for Negligence but after discovering the Child had been sick before they came into the Country, then I knew the Medical Folks were only trying to salvage a bad situation and She probably exploited them using SM prowess and Mob.
What's your point? That the child got sick inside aeroplane on the way here or otherwise proves nothing.
Quelme: Eye service. When your universities keep churning out half baked physicians based on quota system and federal character.
Wrong cause. No evidence our medical colleges are significantly lowering admission requirements to admit people from Sokoto. We're dealing with a system problem. How hospitals are run. Work culture. Societal values. Accountability issues. Infrastructure. Working conditions. Etc.
AfonjaPriest: Trump is confused. Satanyahoo is confused. At the end of the day, we'll all agree Iran tried. One country fighting off two powerful countries, worse than the situation Russia finds herself fighting NATO and Ukraine. Abeg, Iran tried joor!
How is Russia fighting Nato? How many Nato troops have been deployed against Russia? I guess it's too much for you people to admit that small Ukraine is humiliating Russia, hence these excuses you and Mr Kaliningrad keep making.
Mynd44: Not necessarily, you can't say every of the people in the riot were criminals or perverts. This one person among them is just the exception and he can't be used to describe everyone of them.
He is a criminal and he has had his.
PS: I think granting them amnesty was a stupid idea
Sure, not all Trump supporters are reprobates and deplorables. But ALL reprobates and deplorables support Trump.
South Africans can, under certain conditions, claim maintenance from a sibling.
But it’s far more complex than many believe.
That’s according to attorney and family law specialist Amy Marx, who unpacked the issue in an interview following comments attributed to the National Prosecuting Authority.
NOT A NEW LAW, BUT RARELY USED
Marx said sibling maintenance claims are not new.
“When it comes to maintenance claims, this has always been in the books,” she said.
She stressed there is no new legal development and that the principle forms part of common law.
However, she described it as ‘extremely difficult’ to compel one sibling to financially support another.
There are strict steps that must be followed.
PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS FIRST
A sibling cannot be approached first for maintenance.
“You first have to go to the strongest link, which would be parents,” Marx explained.
If parents are unable to provide support — for example, if they have died — the next step would be grandparents.
Only if they are also unable to assist would a claim against siblings be considered.
Marx said there is a common law principle that blood relatives may have a maintenance obligation, but “it basically gets weaker the further away it gets”.
ADULT SIBLINGS CAN'T REFUSE TO WORK
The situation differs when it involves adults.
“You can’t be able-bodied and just not be making money,” Marx said.
She said someone cannot simply choose not to work and expect a financially successful sibling to cover their living expenses.
There must be a reasonable need.
If a person is able-bodied and capable of working, that weakens any potential claim.
WHEN SIBLING MAINTENANCE MAY APPLY
Marx said such claims are more common in cases involving minors or adults who are unable to support themselves.
She cited a case involving a child with Down syndrome who could not work and was living in a care facility.
In that matter, siblings had received money from their parents’ deceased estate.
The maintenance court allowed a claim against the siblings because funds that should have supported the vulnerable child had effectively been paid out as inheritance.
INHERITANCE ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH
Marx clarified that simply receiving a larger share of an inheritance does not automatically create a maintenance obligation.
If provision for a dependent person was not properly structured in the estate, and inheritance effectively replaced maintenance funds, a claim could arise.
But she stressed that each case depends on specific legal requirements.
“You’d have to prove that there is a legal requirement for the maintenance,” she said.
LAW MAY EVOLVE, BUT LIMITS REMAIN
While acknowledging that case law can change over time, Marx said there is currently no general duty on extended family members, such as aunts and uncles, to provide maintenance.
For now, sibling maintenance remains a legal possibility, but only in narrow, carefully defined circumstances.
“It’s not that you can just go straight to a sibling,” she said.
Only minors and adults with disabilities, plus a lack of parental capacity. Sounds reasonable to me.
winterfell007: He's a fucking spineless leader and half of the British are pissed off with him. Nonetheless! USA has consistently that it's got the werewithal to prosecute the war without waiting on the UK. America is truly the Hammer of the islamic terrorism.
Brits are pissed off with Mr Starmer for not backing the US on this? Not true.
drnoel: I don't know what the arguement is about. She is just towing party lines. The Torries want Britain to join the war, labour party doesn't. That is the argument not ethnicity
Don't mind those closet xenophobes. Instead of attacking her idea, they're throwing her Nigerianness at her.
Chienex24: Like Japan in Pearl harbor, countries should always wait ist and be attacked, their citizens killed before acting in defense. What a logic!!
I was responding to your Article 5 quip. You have to be attacked for that to kick in. But I'm sure a logic expert like you doesn't need to bother with that pesky little fact. Carry go.
Ewedegubbler: Lloyds decided to withdraw shipping insurance for the Strait of hormuz which theyve done for centuries and the USA decided to take over and backed it up with naval protection..
Big loss for the UK..
Where the Navy naa? Ships still aren't moving. And why has "the USA decided" to allow Russia sell more oil to raise more money to murder Ukrainians?
youngrichnigga: Worst PPRO ever, lies with straight face and clenched jaw
Hundeyin wasn't that bad. There's no PPRO that didn't lie with a straight face. Mba used to lie with 'fone' added into the mix. The worst, in my opinion, remains Jimoh Moshood.
