I saw this in oyo town... I quickly took a picture of it . Would you touch it or dump refuse there?

Is this creativity/innovation in fashion or 'mushe ya ' or half if not total madness?

I have a feeling that this thread will soon make fp...

kpez: Wow, I can't believe it , my thread made fp...Ordinarily, I won't be bothered about my thread making front page but I am elated because of two reasons:
1. Today is the beginning of a new year (01-01-2014) so making front page is symbolic and this is the beginning of many more to come.
2. This is the first time my thread will make front page.
#quickly wears cloth and runs to church to give testimony #
I give honour and glory to God for making me see this day. Many thought that my thread wouldn't make fp but God disappointed them...
Haters, go and ...

I need educated on this. how does one, in the process of typing a thread or report, say it made front page? !!!!
on the argument, it's bullshit, dead on arrival. to sue and win a case, you need hard evidence. How can you prove you had any money in the first place? My advice would be that of care and applied wisdom cos the sued could turn around & counter sue for being a possible suspect in the committed crime. This instance forms no basis for argument.

Let me cure your ignorance... I modified and added it after my thread made front page...

Back to your opinion to the question... I can't say much because I am not a lawyer and that was why i opened this thread... I am still learning from the diverse opinion given by enlightened nairalanders (lawyers) on this thread... So

[quote author=mac-delene]Hmmmm this is serious ooo. My guy hope u nava go arrange wit ur guys to come robber u wit the money inside bank premises wen u na va deposit and dey wait for compensation. Guy market fall press u.ooo[/quote]

CONTROVERSIES ruled the polity, yesterday, over whether or not Nigeria will cease to exist as a legal entity after 12 midnight today.
A conglomeration of ethnic nationality groups said going by the Amalgamation Treaty of January 1, 1914, which joined Northern and Southern protectorates to create Nigeria with a life span of 100 years, the country will expire at 12 a.m. today.
Professor Akin Oyebode, a lawyer, said Nigeria will not expire because the amalgamation was not put in place by a treaty, but by an order in council by the British Parliament.

Oyebode has a soul mate in legal icon, Professor Itse Sagay (SAN), who argued that there was no law that automatically gives a treaty 100 years life span.
However, the ethnic nationalities, which included Federation of Oodua People, Middle Belt Congress, Lower Niger Congress and Oporoza House, which congregated on the banner of Movement for New Nigeria, MNN, insisted that Nigeria would become history after today and urged all Nigerians to embrace the national conference to agree on fresh terms of co-existing.
They spoke at a briefing held at Freedom Park, Lagos. Present at the briefing were Elder Fred Agbeyegbe, Co-coordinator; Tony Nnadi, Secretary-General; Mrs Hilda Dokubo, Timi Kaiser Ogoriba, Chief Dan Ekpebide, Abuka Onalo, Ambah Binaebi, Shade Olukoya and Leye Akinmodiro.
On nat’l dialogue, 2015
They urged President Goodluck Jonathan to speed up the national dialogue, warning that it would be disastrous to hold the 2015 elections without a new constitution emerging from a national conference.
They said: “The mention of 2015 in Nigeria’s political discourse instantly evokes two ominous conjectures. One is the haunt of the US intelligence prediction that Nigeria will disintegrate before 2015.
“The other very bloody prospect swirls around the 2015 electoral round in which a northern politician assumes that there would be trouble if the elections are rigged.”
100 years treaty
Nnadi said: “What the British did in the amalgamation treaty was to consolidate all the treaties that they signed with the different ethnic nationalities they subdued in the process of their conquest.
“By 1914, the various treaties were consolidated so as to be recognised in international law. Under international law, every treaty has a life span of 100 years. The Amalgamation Treaty took effect on January 1, 1914, which means that it will expire on December 31, 2013.
“The second challenge for Nigeria is that the 1999 Constitution, which General Abdulsalami Abubakar gave to Nigeria made certain proclamations that are rooted in falsehood because it was not a constitution drawn up by Nigerians.
“What will hold Nigeria after December 31 is a hope that the national conference will produce another document that Nigerians would accept.”
Former Director, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Dan Mou, said Nigeria is fortunate that there was no separatist movement in the country.
He said that issues such as these were what the national conference should resolve and all the ethnic minorities should wait to see the outcome of the conference, adding that President Goodluck Jonathan acted wisely by putting the conference in place and the outcome should be subjected to a referendum.
No danger,says Oyebode
Countering, Professor Oyebode said Nigeria will not cease to exist legally on account of the 100 years of amalgamation because the amalgamation was consummated through an order in council by the British Parliament.
According to him, the process of amalgamation started in January 1900, when the British Parliament issued an Order-in-Council through which the Royal Nigeria Company, which succeeded the United African Company, ceded its power to the British Crown and resulted in the amalgamation of the Southern protectorate.
He said the British Parliament also issued an Order-in-Council which resulted in the amalgamation of Northern protectorate in 1906. The amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorates took place in 1914 through another Order-in-Council.
He said the order was used in British territories, which had no legislature to issue such legislative instrument. He said it was through the order that Nigeria got her independence in 1960.
Professor Oyebode agreed with moves to convene a national conference because the 1999 Constitution, which was foisted on Nigerians by the military, shared the same features and characteristics with the Amalgamation Acts which were enacted without the participation and consent of Nigerians.
According to Oyebode, the 1999 Constitution is nothing but Decree No. 24, which has since been identified as a fraudulent document.
Noting that the 1999 Constitution may be valid but not legal, he said “what we should expect is for the proposed national conference to lead to a constitutional conference through which Nigerians can produce a document that they can respect.”
Amalgamation was not a treaty— Sagay
Professor Itse Sagay said: “I totally disagree with the group that the 1914 amalgamation was by a treaty.
“It was a union imposed on us by the British who were colonial overlords of Nigeria, then recognised by international law, which was a legitimate power to join the Northern and Southern protectorates.
“So, it was not a treaty at all. If it were a treaty, both parties could have sat round the table to negotiate their merger. But there wasn’t anything like that at all.
“The people just woke up one morning and found out that they have been joined together by the superior colonial force.
“Meanwhile, contrary to their belief that a treaty can expire, it can be forever and can be terminated by either party. A party can withdraw from a treaty at anytime, provided certain conditions are met.”

Adinije: if u haven't deposited ur money and it got stloen, it's ur loss but if u have just deposited and the bank got robbed immediately then it's the bank's loss.

So the customers who haven't deposited their money won't be compensated?... Since the customers were robbed inside the bank, does that not count for something? ...

naijacutee: To help us understand the argument better, do you mean that the money is deposited in the bank and shortly after, a bank robbery takes place?

The money has not been deposited...

If you know that you have facts as regard the question, don't just view; make sure you comment.

I don't know which section to ask this question. @Mod. Pls move my thread to appropriate section if this is not the appropriate one.

Some fellows and i were arguing in my area today whether banks could be sued for money lost that
had not been paid into one's account or not.

Those that supported the notion argued that Banks could be sued "because banks have a duty to guarantee security to customers once they are inside the bank". They argued further that they wouldn't have lost their money if they were not in the bank and since they lost it to bank robberies then they should be compensated. They gave the analogy of how most formal organisations removed themselves from any responsibility that may arise as result of car stolen in their premises and that's why the statement 'ALL CARS ARE PARKED AT OWNERS' RISK' can seen in their parking spaces/garage.

Those who opposed it argued that "since no transaction has taken place then banks cannot be sued for compensation".

Who is right between the two? Please I need your opinion as regard this. I want you to back your comment(s) with facts. And what does Nigerian law say about this?

01awelewa: 1. (a) Highlight and explain the main contributions of the behaviouralists to the study of politics
(b)Is it possible to use scientific method to study/analyse political phenomena and have valid conclusion (s)? Give reasons for your answer
2. Discuss the relationship between power, influence, authority and legitimacy within the context of the Nigerian State

Solutions.
1a.
I). They made political science to be scientific in its approach.
II). Behavourists introduced empiricism into the study of political phenomena.
Note: the most important contribution of behaviourists to political science is the introduction of scientifism in political science.

Prior to 2nd world war, political scientists made use of traditionalism. Traditional approach was unscientific in nature. The unscientific nature of traditionalism made it impossible to theorise and predict political phenomenon. It should be noted that no political scientist predicted 2nd world war. Second world war caught them unaware. Another event that made political scientists to embrace behaviouralism was the neglect of political scientists during 2nd world war i.e no political scientist was used during the war. Sociologists, economists etc were made use during the war. These reasons and others made political scientists like David Easton, Charles Merriam among others to introduce behaviourism into political science. Behaviourism was/is scientific in nature and it enable political scientists to theorise about human behaviour. Theories were developed. Theories like System theory, Elite theory, Group theory, Structural-functionalism... It should be noted that political scientists borrowed and adopted behaviouralism from sociology. The migration of political scientists from Europe to USA also contributed to the introduction of behaviouralism.

NeuroBoss: Did u graduated from UNILORIN?

Gbagaun... Choi!... Ewooo...

This is the real OAU's academic calendar...

JAF chairman/president is Dr Fashina, a lecturer in OAU. He is one of ASUU leaders... So the status quo is much the same since the leader of JAF is also a member of ASUU...

@op... Let me tell a story... I went to a birthday party of a friend of mine. I saw a lady siting down while everybody was dancing, I went to her and convince her to dance with me. She was shy and I told her I was shy also. She later followed me to the dance floor. On getting there, I started dancing with her. I moved my Jt to her big yansh and immediately, I got an attention . Later, she started dulling tinz and I lost the attention... I left her to dance with another lady. I felt awkward using my JT to touch the yansh of the other lady because I had no erection as a result of the girl I danced with earlier... I consider it as strange to dance in a party without an erection and it is a sign of potency..

In the same party, there was one babe that guys queue up behind her because the babe could rock guys' JT die. She was just enjoying it. She wore one short gown like that.

@op... No erection in a party where there is body contact means no potency...

I think op is impotent... How will you dance with a lady in a party where there is body contact without having an erection?
