Just paid for a road worthiness certificate renewal for a 2013 model car. Three different officials in the same VIO office asked for three different amounts. When the document was issued, there was no official receipt, neither was the amount paid stated on the document.

How can the government allow this to happen in this age?

Those who are married are usually circumspect to condemn any partner involved in marriage misunderstanding. Marriage is a leveller of behaviour and conduct of all men and women no matter what level of social or material success you have attained, Trust you got the message.

Pity Nigerians who cannot see beyond party politics. What has been going on is a resource grabbing politicking for self-interest.

Seyi Law, you missed the point. The government will only turn the Biafra separatist agitation into a frenzy, should Nnamdi Kanu be arrested. Kanu realised that locking him up by the government will help spread his separatist agenda and is goading the government to do so. But the government should not repeat the same mistake it made by arresting Kanu. As long as the government is not sure what it wants on the Biafra issue, it should just contain Kanu and look to use the Igbo leaders to damage his integrity.

Meanwhile, why do some Yoruba gets involved in the Biafra issue? There is an international right to self-determination. It is not that the Yoruba nation will miss the Igbos when they leave.

Just thinking aloud.

Nigerian comedian Seyi Law has raised an alarm over IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu's inauguration of Biafra Secret Service. 

The ace Nigerian comedian who wondered when Nnamdi Kanu will be rearrested or when Nigeria's acting President Yemi Osibanjo will call for a referendum wrote; 

"Have you heard that BIAFRA now has a SECRET SERVICE? When will the Government rearrest Nnamdi Kanu or have a referendum? Is Osinbajo trying to be politically correct or just following the silence is golden rubbish? There are certain things you don't condone and this is one of it. The build up of Al Qaelda, ISIS, Boko Haram etc all started like this. From formation to subtle killings and then, massive bombing and we will beginning to look for a needle in the forest.


The IGBOs in the NORTH will not come out to jointly condemn Nnamdi's act now, but once the North start issuing threats which is not right by the way, they will break the code of SILENCE. If you don't support this, speak now and not later. 


Walls and borders have created disunity amongst us. Natural resources has become the bane of our agony. I hope we will not fold our arms and watch this Nation plunge into an unnecessary war. Anyway, before you crucify me, remember and know that my wife is Igbo and I have a daughter who is Yoru-Igbo.
SILENCE on this means APPROVAL."

You are right on Paul Kigame and I knew of that. But, I will rather live under a tyrant that makes things work for the common man than a liberal that impoverishes the poor. What use, is your human right when the elite deprives you of basic amenities such as water, electricity, roads, and security? Nigerians don't have human right anyway. A country you get brutalized for demanding that public officials live up to the oath of the office they occupy.

UncleJudax:
Paul Kigame is also a tyrant...he clamps down on dissent...

Heck..dude had to alter the constitution so he could run for a third term.

Even if you are doing ok for your country, serve your term/s and leave the seat for another.

I hope he sees what Rwanda has achieved by cutting down corruption significantly and that he asks the Rwandan president how the country was able to do it.
Unless Nigeria cuts down corruption and wastes, there will be no development.

Mrl1:

If you say it is imposicant, they will go gaga because they have been programmed. So, let the music play on.

I don't see how this inter-tribal hatred and distrust can leave us anytime soon. This distrust was the main reason the North has always had its ways over the south. Everyone here spewing insults and bitterness is aggravating the situation. How does a faceless group represent the entire Yorubas? Has anyone known this group before? The Igbos who are so upset with this group can certainly believe anything.

Even if no one pursues you, and you have it at the back of your mind that you are been pursued, you will keep running.

And, why so much venom against the Yorubas whose opinion does not matter on how IPOB carry out its agitation. Yorubas have not at any time pledge to work with IPOB. So, why does it disturb the Igbos and calling Yorubas traitors? The reason is that the Igbos are secretly hoping that Yorubas will begin to do what IPOB is doing in the south east in the south west believing it will help them achieve the self-determination. But groups like YYC is doing just the opposite.

However, it will be suicidal for Igbos to again depend on other tribes in this struggle. Once beaten, twice shy. If Igbos do not have a clear strategy to exit Nigeria, they better don't start what they cannot finish alone.

Groups like the one Adepoju represents pretend to speak for Yorubas which is rather not true. These guys collect money from polithiefians and go about spewing thrash. Igbos can go and they can go about their self-determination whichever way they choose, It is not the problem of the south west in any way.

Most Yorubas do not care if Igbos leave and if allowed to cast vote in a referendum, would rather vote that Igbos leave. There is absolutely no justification for the call to declare IPOB a terror group. Have the fulani herdmen been declared a terror group?

This is a ridiculous group and they should be ignored. Awon onijekuje.

May you be granted inner peace.

If u have sense at all u will see dt ur comment is needless, d issue here is timing, there is time for everything. I am sure his parents didn't send him to law school at exorbitant fees to get expelled

Now, I see you have sense.

Your comment aptly captures the mentality that has enslaved Nigerians. If Nigerians do not learn to push back on bad treatment and abuses by their leaders, the country will never move forward. The cause of the entire issue is the bad infrastructure. Foolish is rather an inappropriate description of this issue.

What stops him from graduating and taking a case against law School in d future

The Nigerian Law School, Bwari, Abuja, has expelled a student, Kayode Bello, after he allegedly had an argument with a fellow student, identified simply as Chidima, over seat reservation in a lecture room.

The graduate of University of Ibadan, Oyo State, was reportedly bundled out of the school’s library by law school officials and policemen attached to the Bwari Police Station on the day he was expelled.



PUNCH Metro learnt that Bello’s issue with the school management started shortly after he gained admission into the institution in November 2016.

It was gathered that he complained to the Secretary to the Council of Legal Education, Mrs. Elizabeth Max-Uba, over the leakage of the sewage pipe in his room’s toilet.

He said he also reported to the secretary that the water system in rooms in the hostel was not functioning, adding that his complaints were not attended to.

The 34-year-old told our correspondent that the events that led to his expulsion started on March 15, 2017, when he went to the class for a morning lecture.

“The class is usually overcrowded. There are no enough chairs in the lecture room and we have issues over seat reservation. At a point, the Head Marshal, Mr. Akinyemi, announced publicly that there should not be seat reservation again because it was causing problems.

“That day, I met Chidima and other persons sitting on some chairs. There was a book on a vacant chair. As I made to sit on the vacant chair, Chidima said she was keeping the seat for a student. I said I would leave when the person came.

“When the lady came 20 minutes later, Chidima angrily told me to vacate the seat. I told her that her approach was wrong. In the process, a marshal came and took both of us to Mr. Akinyemi’s office. He asked me to look for another seat. I made him to realise that he was the one that gave an order on seat reservation, but he ignored me.

“I went to report the matter to the school’s Chief Security Officer, Mr. Ogunboyan, but he was not in the office. I called him on the telephone and he asked me to be patient, saying he would address it when he came back.”

Bello said the CSO took him to Akinyemi later that day and the Head Marshal complained that he (Bello) was rude.

“I said I was not rude, but was trying to let him (Akinyemi) realise that he didn’t do justice to the matter brought before him,” he added.

Bello said both officials flared up at that point and Akinyemi threatened him with a query. He stated that he immediately submitted a petition on the issue at the secretary’s office, adding that she did not acknowledge it.

He said he also sent the same petition to the email of the Nigerian Law School without getting a reply.

He said Akinyemi announced the query in the class the following day and gave him a copy, which he replied to.

“I also made my response known to the class. He issued the query and signed it on behalf of the Dean of Students’ Affairs, which is wrong,” Bello said.

He said the officials suddenly turned the matter against him, accusing him of inciting students against the school management, adding that his room was inspected on March 20, but nothing incriminating was found.

Bello explained that the Students’ Representative Council was also influenced to issue a disclaimer against him.

“On March 21, the CSO and the Head of Academic Affairs, Mr. Osamolu, came to my room in the midnight and forcefully evicted me. I paid over N300,000 as school fee, of which N60,000 was for hostel accommodation. They handed me over to policemen at the school’s police post. When I explained what happened to a policeman, he was surprised. He gave me a space to pass the night.

“When I returned to the hostel the following day, I met the door of my room broken, while my bed had been taken away. I reported at the Bwari Police Station, but a policewoman I met there requested money to buy a case file, which I declined to provide.

“My lawyer wrote to the secretary about my victimisation, but she didn’t reply. I also petitioned the Public Complaints Commission, which wrote to the Nigerian Law School.

“The SRC later withdrew the disclaimer privately, but they had endangered my life and allowed the school management to capitalise on it. I said the SRC chairman should resign as a punitive measure for the disclaimer, while a fresh committee be set up to look into my case. They said it was not possible for the chairman to resign.”

He said he kept sleeping in the open room until they went for externship (attachment to law firms and courts) in April 24, adding that his application for hostel accommodation during the programme was rejected by the school.

He said, “We returned from externship on July 12. I was in the library on July 17 preparing for Portfolio Assessment which started the next day when the CSO led some people to give me a letter of expulsion to sign. I rejected it. They called for reinforcement and I was dragged out of the library and taken to the Bwari Police Station, where I had earlier lodged a complaint against the school without any action.

“They said they would charge me to court; I was happy. I was detained. They later released me after I signed an undertaking that there would be peace.”

The representative of UI graduates in the SRC, Patrick Oyakhare, confirmed to our correspondent that the SRC regretted issuing the disclaimer.

“I met with Kayode (Bello) to tell me what he wanted. He said the committee that sat on his matter should be reconstituted while the chairman should resign. I presented it at a meeting. The first condition was agreed to, but it is not possible for the chairman to resign. It is only the school that can comment on his expulsion,” he added.

Some students, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Bello was expelled because the school authorities saw him as a threat.

A student said, “Kayode is 100 per cent right about his complaints over the poor state of the facilities in the school. All the students are aware, but no one has the confidence to challenge the school. It is just unfortunate that Nigeria is a country where it is difficult to fight an institution and win.”

Another student described the fate of students in the institution as “a baby that is being spanked, but dares not cry.”

“You can come to the school to see the state of the facilities yourself. Bello may be blamed for challenging the school authorities, but he was fighting for a right course,” he added.

When contacted on the telephone, the CSO directed our correspondent to the Secretary to the Council of Legal Education.

Asked what actually led to Bello’s expulsion, the Secretary, Max-Uba, said the management would issue a statement on the issue on Monday (today).

An official of Public Complaint Commission, who did not want his name in print because he was not authorised to speak to the press, said the commission wrote to the Nigerian Law School over a month ago, adding that he and his team visited the school when there was no reply to the letter.

“We went there on a Friday, a day after the school had its call-to-bar ceremony. We waited for about 15 minutes, but could not see either the Director-General of the law school, the secretary or the Dean, Students’ Affairs. He has told me about the expulsion. We will go back by Wednesday,” he added.

The Police Public Relations Officer for the Abuja Police Command, Anjuguri Mensah, promised to make enquiries from the Bwari division and get back with comments.

He had, however, yet to get back as of press time.

The same PDP people in APC you mean? They will go back to PDP as soon as power changes; if PDP is returned to power. PDP has no plans to lead the country to a better future. The party is gathering together the same old politicians who pillaged the country in readiness for 2019. Rationale Nigerians should be looking beyond PDP if APC fails. Voting back PDP to power with the same people who ruined this country for 16 years is like telling them you prefer the mismanagement of the country's resources under the party.

It is no surprise Nigeria is what it is today. You blessing a party that looted for 16 years and made more billionaires from public coffers in the history of the country. No matter the failure of the current party, PDP deserves no blessing from God.
