Zintos: .
Did any of ABACHA's family friend complain when he was in power? It s the ordinary man in the street that know what he has done not somebody dining with him.

Don't mind that boy, he is probably there in UK via pdp stolen money.

some state governor will spend that same amount to renovate an existing government house.

Anybody interested in brand new HTC SENSATION? let me know how much u are willing to pay, compare to the slot price.

When our rulers e.g GEJ read this news, he will just smile and call her a fool, chicken hearted.

Ok we hear, 8,000 pdp security personnel. nonsense!

i am very sure that this is too expensive for Nigeria.

I'M JUST CURIOUS O, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHY WE IN THE SOUTH CLAIM TO BE SUPERIOR TO OUR FELLOW BROTHERS IN THE NORTH, BY CALLING THEM NAMES LIKE "ALMAGERI, COW, POOR ETC" YET THE RICHEST MAN IN AFRICA IS FROM THE NORTH, THEY HAVE BEEN RULING US FOR SO MANY YEARS AND IF U GO TO TOP GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, THEY ARE THE TOP OFFICERS, YET WE SAY WE ARE SUPERIOR. WHAT DO U THINK? AS FOR ME, I BELIEVE WE WERE ALL CREATED BY THE SAME GOD AS EQUALS.

niddamugu:
I hope somebody is quoting the right figure. This is absolutely crazy and I'm sure the woman is suffering from "HOUSEHOLD WITCHCRAFT" .

Mobinga:
Even in the article, nothing says Nigerian, I hope the usual tribal fools don't turn this.

GUY FACE THE TRUTH NOW, NO BE NIGERIAN WOMAN?

bhusayor:
Awwwww, sweet, I take back my words too, my apologies, wish you all the best.

THANKS  

Koolking:
Thank you folks for your decisive comments. The claim that the woman is mentally unstable is a ploy by the state to throw the case into trash bin thereby justifying their actions against this woman. This sort of manoeuvre is not isolated in court cases. No matter the state influence on this case, I bet she will get a lawyer to represent her, the amount sues for is a sure bait to hook on lawyers. This is the same insane woman who understands the feelings of having her children close to her bossom. [i]In[/i]sane enough to sue the state for $900 Trillion for perceived encroachment on her rights.

DID U READ THIS PART?
[QUOTE]The state alleges Ogunbayo suffers from hallucinations, refuses mental health treatment and placed her children at risk by leaving them at home for several hours each day. Two of the more specific allegations are that Ogunbayo wrote to her children's former school, insisting that the FBI and Secret Service were after her children and that their skin was becoming darker due to radiation exposure. [/QUOTE]

i thank u all for the advise and criticism as well, as for jennykadry and blank my apologies, i am very far from being a rude person. if ur advises weren't important i would not have come here in the first place. now 6yrs is a very long year i can't deny the obvious truth, i met her while i was still in the university, honestly our goal was to get married after my service, but things didn't workout the way we planned, i do have plans to go back this year and conclude everything, which was our plan before i left and i am trying so hard to make sure it happen but the pressure by family and friends is really telling on her. just as some of u advised, i intend to ask my parents to go see her parents very soon, but nobody wants to get married to a lady without her parents blessing, which was one of the reason i came here for ur opinions. once again thank u all for all ur comments, if i say i have not benefited from it, i will be a liar and for those who are offended by few of my comments, i sincerely apologize.   thank u.

EVEN MAD WOMEN MAKE NEWS THIS DAYS

A Staten Island mom is making national headlines today after suing the city of West Brighton for $900 trillion, alleging the city improperly placed her two children in foster care.

The $900 trillion figure, first reported by the New York Post, certainly is staggering and the standard response so far has been to treat the lawsuit as something of a joke, focusing on the mother's alleged mental illness.

But I have to agree with the Inquisitr's Kim LaCapria, who says plaintiff Fausat Ogunbayo is actually quite clever in choosing to sue for $900 trillion. After all, how many people would be reading about this story and discussing Ogunbayo's plight had she quietly filed her petition without seeking monetary compensation?

Of course there's no way she'll get a settlement remotely approaching that number, if she is awarded anything at all. After all, the entire U.S. has an annual gross national income of just over $14 trillion. Or, put another way, if Ogunbayo was awarded $900 trillion she'd have enough disposable income to pay off the U.S. national debt several dozen times over.

Ogunbayo sued the city and the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), alleging that both entities violated her and her children's civil liberties by placing them in foster care in June, 2008. In her lawsuit, obtained by The Smoking Gun, Ogunbayo listed her grievances as follows:

"For causing plaintiff substantial economic hardship; for causing plaintiff substantial economic injuries; for depriving plaintiff and plaintiff children's Civil Right, 42 U.S.C. section 1983; for depriving plaintiff and plaintiff's children, the right to family integrity; for depriving plaintiff and plaintiff's children, the right to life, liberty, property and the right guaranteed by statute; for disregarding the probability of plaintiff's children, suffering emotional and mental distress."

The city has not responded to Ogunbayo's lawsuit but contends that she is mentally ill and unable to properly care for her two boys, who are now teenagers.The New York City Law Department released a statement to ABC News, which said, "We are unable to comment on pending litigation. The amount a plaintiff requests in a lawsuit has no bearing on whether the case has any merit and no relation to actual damages if any."

The state alleges Ogunbayo suffers from hallucinations, refuses mental health treatment and placed her children at risk by leaving them at home for several hours each day. Two of the more specific allegations are that Ogunbayo wrote to her children's former school, insisting that the FBI and Secret Service were after her children and that their skin was becoming darker due to radiation exposure.

However, the state Appellate Division recently threw out a family court finding that Ogunbayo was guilty of neglecting her children. "Proof of mental illness alone will not support a finding of neglect," the court ruled, according to SILive.com

Ogunbayo is representing herself in the case.

^^^^^^ I don't think it is all about the money thingy, maybe they see some qualities in you they don't like and think they would get or can get a better suitor for their daughter.

Thank u very much for ur opinion, that is very possible .

drnoel:
dont be too sure. When there is love and perseverance they could succeed. I know someone it happened to and they are now married. It remains the decision of both the couple. Parents or family can only try but can't influence the decision.

Thank u for ur kind response, I believe the decision lies with us, I just wanted to see how others will handle the same situation if the were in my shoes . I cannot force a lady to wait for me. 6yrs is a lot , we didn't plan it that way, plan changes.

Royal Roy:
@poster,this is the reason why they cant allow you to marry their daughter-YOU ARE ARROGANT.
Imagine coming to seek for advice and the next thing you started bashing those who made their opinions known. If u dont like it you s@ut up. You need no advice,wait 4 more years and she will be there waiting for you.

Hello, I am not crazy, I'v come to believe that crazy talking is part of the fun on nairaland, so I don't get angry when people insult me here, I only talk back, but on a serious note if the way those girls responded to my question, is how u respond to people who come to u for help, n u call it advice then u are not a good person, that is definitely not the way to sell ur opinion. I ask a simple question and didn't expect such attack, not from a lady.

see bomb, ;d ;d ;d
