My own personal opinion on this:

The guy didn't commit suicide just because a random lady or ladies accused him of rape, of course rape accusation is common with successful men even in USA, Europe, Asia, etc, so its not new and he is aware of that. Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't committed suicide, neither did Kobe Bryant or David Beckham or Bill Clinton, and even former Israeli serving President.

I am suspecting that guy put his hands in some diabolical things known as "money ritual" and known in Yoruba dialect as "Ogun owo", so the thing must have probably backfired....remember he tweeted that his mother heard the news that he raped a lady and died out of heart attack, how many Nigerian mothers care about such rumors, if its like that, many Nigerian mothers must have died, including the ones whose sons are popular politicians being labelled all sorts of names online and offline....only that guy knows what went wrong but my instinct tells me his hands aren't clean with his financial success.

If he was that feeble minded, he wouldn't even come out online to be bragging and refuting such claims....talk more of taking his own life because of that forgetting about his wealth, his son and all the spark that comes with the little money he has, something is wrong with his ways of making money, go figure out or argue with your mirror

You obviously have not been subjected to an allegation of rape on a public platform. And your reputation as well as your business reputation has not mobbed in the court of public opinion. The public gets to see you with a sadistic light. People hate rapists just as do with murderers and robbers; and by their opinions punish the alleged wrongdoer. Think about, morality relies on what others think of you. If you are thought to be a rock then you are a rock. Public opinion is more powerful than you think, and it is why we are social animals.

One would be surprised by the dense logic jazz seems to work. I thought the realm of jazz was irrational. What would be the point of the armour if you have to be just as cautious as those without armour.

Exactly what came to my mind, according to the rules, Mayorkun failed all, but Davido looked beyond all these, he spotted a talent in him. The only way you can succeed as a label owner is if you

1. Can spot talents when you see it
2. Can push your artistes well

Luck is an extra element. I think Mayorkun had a fanbase however little and there is that unique generational taste in music that gives most modern artists that edge. Mayorkun and David might have survived the 90s with autotune

It is the Federal High Court not a Federal High Court.

All the people playing politics with innocent lives will now or later answer for their heinous crimes.

They will not.. Life would go on like nothing happened

Although legally, it is almost impossible for China to seize an asset as a debt realisation device without an insolvency legal framework or treaty. Especially where the port lies within Kenya's sovereign territory. Bankruptcy for countries is very tricky.

Such a great mind reduced to this boy's scout charade

If she doesn't sign, we can't wed. Simple matter that is not up for debate.

IMO Preparing and Signing a prenup should infact be a mandatory part of a marriage...as in BY LAW.

I doubt if it is enforceable in Nigeria

kikiwendy:
Next time think before you talk. They weren't imposing it on anyone. It was just a song to make money and you're busy carrying their matter like gala on your head.

While they are making money.. the song has a side effect-- it influences young minds and attached a value of making money at all costs to those minds.

In other words, music is a form of education.

TissuePaper:
Please nairalanders, I'm a final year law student and I just wanted to get first hand information on how lucrative you think the legal profession is, I've heard stories of lawyers graduating and working in a chambers where they are paid 15k per month... Pls how true is this and I'll like to know which branch of law I should specialize in that will fetch me more money.

Your inquiry is a trifle too late, isn't it? Are you going to make a reverse back in time before you embarked on this career?

This sort of issues/topics deprive us our energy on the real issues to be discussed. For example security and defence, federalism, education and infrastructure. The next elections worth these issues..

It is understandable because you don't have to drop collateral security.. The high interest rate covers the costs of obtaining and operating the loans.

dominique:
Very stupid approach. What if the pupil in question doesn't have a father or his father is far away?

Nigerian schools needs to stop attaching stereotypes to families. The father provides, the mother cooks and cleans bla bla bla, it doesn't make sense anymore especially now that both parents do chores and contribute financially to the running of the home. There are homes where the mum pays the bills and the dad stays at home with the kids. There are single parent homes where just one parent bears all the burden. How do you expect children from such homes relate with silly stereotypes?

Would you mind a stay at home husband? What do you think is the first ideal model

Throwback:
Are you too daft to understand what she wrote in her resignation? Or did you read that she left Nigeria as a teenager to go study in a university abroad, thereby necessitating the customary return to Nigeria that only exist in your own imagination?


She only visited Nigeria with her British passport on occasions. She was never a resident of Nigeria until she was 34yrs. Till today, her parents still reside in the UK where she was born.

Her interests in Nigeria only began long after she had passed the age to serve. Many Nigerians born and resident in the UK have graduated below the age of 30yrs, yet they do not come to Nigeria for any NYSC because they do not have any business with Nigeria besides visiting when a grandparent died or a cousin was wedding.

That they do not have any interest with Nigeria now does not mean they might not show an interest later.

These are the same type of Nigerians that are daily celebrated here on this forum, as working with Google or Facebook or NASA or the White House. Nigerians in the diaspora, like the ones that were on hand to receive the vice president when he visited Google in the US. Nigerians that don't even know that anything called NYSC exist as it remains irrelevant to them, until the day they decide they want to be Nigerians and not American or Briton.


So by default she made enquires about securing an exemption, and one was certainly obtained through her associates from NYSC but fake. It was not obtained under the bridge at Obalende. It was certainly obtained from NYSC officials who gave a document that was not the legitimate issue.


Many Nigerians currently hold particulars that they think is legitimate having been obtained at the legitimate relevant government office, yet they are invalid.

This is the most daft post i have ever seen in my "short" stay on Nairaland.

Regardless of whom she enlisted to get her the exemption certificate, she bears the full moral responsibility for certificate debacle.

Corruption has eaten too deep that people have become unconscious to it.

campusflavour:
ABIA STATE HAD ALOT OF ELEPHANTS IN THE BEFORE THE 60S THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CALLED ENYIMBA, ESPECIALLY ABA, NY GRAND FATHER TOLD ME THAT THEN HUMAN USED TO TRAVEL VERY FAR WITH LEG THAT WHEN YOU ARE PASSING ABIA STATE YOU MUST BE VERY WATCHFUL OF ELEPHANTS

And the elephants swore never to cross over the borders of Abia State, right?

tamethem:
They have the right to ban any song they believe should be banned.

The fact that you are a lawyer and having a lawyer father doesn't make you or anyone uncheckable.

This is Nigeria is Correct

But Everybody be Criminal is wrong.

I am not a Criminal neither is anyone in my Family.

My kids are not Criminals and I am daily teaching them why it is wrong to be a Criminal.


We keep saying Naijas image is destroyed outside and you are doing a song that would be played on International TVs and Radio.

I would be ashamed if I sit down with foreign friends in Canada or any other foreign country and such song is aired on Tv or radio done by a Nigerian like me.

That means if I am called a Criminal by anyone I should not be angry because one of my brothers Falz says so.

If he had said " This is Nigeria and there are lots of Criminals" he could fight that in the court and win but with "Everybody be Crimal" he will surely lose the case.

The judge himself would just tell him " I am a Nigerian and I am not a Criminal ".


Case dismissed!


Nonsense!

It would be disastrous for everyone if it was up to NBC to ban any material over the air waves on the basis of its subjective or an irrational belief that such material. is obscene. A more objective standard outside of NBC's standard must be resorted to.

dominique:
I hate that song with a passion, the reason why I have never sat to watch/listen to it more than once in my entire life is because of that particular line.

When you label a population of almost 200 million people as criminals, expect to be banned. Now people are using that line as a justification for getting into fraudulent acts, after all they've already been called criminals anyways. I support the ban, falz take several seats jor.

It is a bit idiotic to give that line a literal meaning and was well be literally annoyed by it. It's an artistic expression, at liberty with its poetic license, critiquing society.

Thats it

ubunja:
i will decide whether to answer you or not

Lool!

MISEDUCATIONS:
you mean this?:

i saw her question. i only addressed her motivations at bolded:

I have popped the question now to you

MISEDUCATIONS:
if it was not alive you wouldnt have to kill it. no one kills a stone. its not alive.

I noticed you dodged a key question @funmisticqueen asked you. Where the mother's life is in imminent danger probably due to her body frame or ill health on account of her pregnancy, would you approve of a doctor's advice to abort the foetus?

funmisticqueen:
where in the constitution does the foetus has rights, i think you are mixing up foetuses with babies and children who have rights because they are individuals which a foetus isnt

The constitution provides for a right to life but the extent of that right will be decided either by the courts or legislature. Whether that extent would cover foetus will be equally determined by the courts or legislature.

However at common law a foetus can enjoy benefits of property or a will. These enjoyment are a hallmark of personhood. An object obviously can not possess property but where a company is said to possess property it is because it is a person in law.

funmisticqueen:
i like the anglevyou bring to the table.
first, is the foetus an individual, does it have rights? especially in Nigeria.

how has Nigerians benefited from culture that it has to be considered in making decisions concerning the health of the masses?

Under Nigerian law a foetus has very limited rights including some sort rudimentary right to life. I think we ought to focus on the social merits of empowering a foetus rather than focus on what the law says because eventually the law will follow the path policy dictates.

The health of the masses is good policy. Equally is population control.

We both agree that a foetus is human and that humanity is common with us and it's that humanity we identify our rights to exist. Rights being fundamental.

By denying the foetus any rights despite its humanity can spell doom for ours

Cuteamigo1:
the question was asked why Nigerian people and not the nigerian constitution is against abortion and i gave my opinion. many countries around the world align with my opinion so dont make it look like am alone on this. bye

What does "Nigerian people" really mean? Nigeria is too diverse in culture and worldview to assume all Nigerians irrespective of culture and ways are against abortion. Most educated Nigerians especially medical professionals advocate for abortion for some limited purposes. Urban Nigerians are more receptive to abortion that their rural counterparts

Cuteamigo1:
really? i hate to deviate but who then protects the health of the father when you ladies decide to pin him down with a pregnancy even when he opts for abortion? this is more evidence that you only clamor for what benefits you guys even if it is to the detriment of others. a new law is being proposed in the west where men will now share equal right with women in cases of abortion. so you mean if you are carrying a child for your husband or boyfriend today, devoid of his opinion you can just stroll into an abortion clinic and have the baby sliced and diced because it threatens your mental and social wellbeing? thats sounds cruel to me and in my opinion its murder except ofcoure if it threatens you physical health then why not? we all have a right to self defense.

Whatever murder is, is a question of law not of your sentiments. Yes the foetus was killed but if the law allows it, then it was killed lawfully. Just in the same way self defence and military action are lawful killings because they killings the law permits for whatever policy.

@funmisticqueen

I think your argument that because poorly executed abortions by non professionals should be a basis for legitimizing abortions generally is fallacious. For every criminalized act, a black market substitute automatically becomes available. For example marijuana, fire arms and alcohol whenever they are prohibited the black market is eager to provide them at either a higher cost or lower quality or even both. So similarly your argument would work in support of each of these cases otherwise.

I also think that this question of abortion cannot be confined entirely as a legal question. A socio-economic context along with a number of other contexts is required for any meaningful discussion on abortion to be made. What are the values and mores of this society and how do they reflect against the question of abortion.

Finally a mother can argue she has rights as a person and it can be argued on behalf of a foetus that it can be endowed with rights as well. But one must admit that these rights should not be a zero sum game. An addition on the mother's right is a subtraction from the foetus' rights; and this works vice versa.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

6:9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 6:10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.


1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1:28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence





You know the meaning of the grace of Jesus Christ, the Blessing of his coming to the earth, the benefits to earth and the world, the children who are born not by the will power of man.


John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.


This kind of wealthiest, money can not buy, you shouldn't equate such with natural standing, we are talking about eternal life which is actually the dream of every living creatures, yet no one knows the way the truth and the life eternal. Giving His brethren a New birthday party is far more natural than you could ever imagine.


2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.


Please don't equate this kind of Blessing with money, we already told you it's a new birth, New inheritance, a brand new family of God Almighty


Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.



Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.




1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 3:22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 3:23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.




This is the wealth, the true enduring wealth. Not some dirty money, which when you love will make you to do all manner of Evi. The love of money is the root of all Evi the scriptures warns believers in the New birth, chosen generations, peculiar people, the holy nations. But when you love the lord God Almighty such will lead you to peace and life ever more. Did you see the difference?


Proverbs 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.


I have shown you the secret today, making many rich is by showing them their inheritance in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, not anything to do with earthly things.


Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.


Amen

Although it's a bad reading habit to cut and chop bible passages without regard for the context they are to be read in; nonetheless i think these passages are about afterlife in heaven not wealth on earth

[quote author= post=69389429]My dear, elections are not conducted on social media. You need money (plenty of it), strategy, boots on the ground, good ground game, brain work and clarity of vision to win elections. It is a game of numbers. It is foolhardy for anyone to think that APC would be thrown away from Aso Rock just 3 years after! Those who think in that way, are politically short-sighted and fatally myopic. I will explain.

APC grew from Lagos. It then expanded and captured most of the southwest states except Ondo. Then it captured Edo and lost Ekiti. Then it captured Imo. Then, Aso Rock. With Aso Rock[b], it also captured 25 out of 36 States.[/b] Recently, it got back Ondo and has added Ekiti today. That means APC is in control of the finances and power of the Federal Government of Nigeria, controls 19 state government and finances! It also controls the Police, EFCC, ICPC, DSS, Army, Navy, Air Force, Civil Defence, NIA, DMI, etc. On the other hand, PDP which used to control the Federal Government and more than 24 States at a time, only has 10 States and nothing more. To make matters worse, the 10 states are being held and run by extremely unpopular gluttonous crooks with itchy fingers. 

Add to that brew, is a President who has loyal followers and cult-like dedicated supporters - stuff no other politician in our common history has ever got. The outcome is a party that would rule for a pretty long time. By my extrapolation, APC would run this country for at least 20 years unbroken. If the infrastructure revival currently going on across the country gets the necessary continued attention, APC might rule for up to 5 unbroken decades. 

PDP would die a natural death after 2019, just as a lot of the regular politicians would be permanently retired either back home, or to Kuje Prison. Mark these words.


.............as we said earlier, 
Sisimmi, this wonderful post belongs to FrontPage. 
You are so inside our head.
You've said it all!
Happy for the indigenes of Ekiti life from freeing themselves from the shackles of CORRUPTION. [/quote]Of what use or relevance would the death of PDP have when it neither represents a coherent ideology and it's members easily migrate to APC?

Also what ideology that permeates its members does APC have?

Interesting to see how therapeutic Christianity can be to our restless bestial nature.

Does Christianity really change the bestial makeup of man? Can Christianity succeed to quieten man's ambitions or emotions or passions or impulses which often overcome his sense of reasoning and drive man to anger sin and all?

One's innermost desires are not always publicly approved of. Probably he is in a more honest society where the quirks of one's desires can be expressed. Not everyone wants a young damsel
