First! All of you telling him to stick with d two women that they men of God who married more than 1 wife, advisin him that he's gonna make heaven with two wives, just have in mind that if dis man dies today, without repentin, his sins and blood is gonna be on all of u head. I din say that d bible said it. U see a blind man about falling into a bit and u let him, his blood is gonna be on ur head. Even d bible said, unto a man is a woman and unto a woman is a man, he never said unto a man is women. Read ur new testament pls, befored giving d wrong advice about d bible to sum1. What reason do u have to marry 2wives? Nd whatever reason it is, It has to be 1 woman, 1 man. That is what d bible said. U have to let d second wife go, be friends with her and her kids. And pls, all of u quotin d old testament. Go and study ur bible and understand, don't just read for reading sake. Enjoy ur day

Have you read your New Testament very well? Have you read 1 Corinthians 7? Don't be hasty to speak, and forget that you do not know all.

evansjeff:
I know this is not allowed in Christianity, and it has always been a cause of worry to me, any hopes of making heaven? both having kids for me already, fellow nairalanders and Christians...help a wondering heart.


help move this to Front page please

This question is answered clearly in the Bible. So i won't offer you advice, rather i'll just show you where to read:

1 Cor 7: 17-24

I'm not saying she has small nyansh sha but if 20 naira A3 sheet can completely wrap your butt and still remain extra then you're not for me. The importance of nyansh cannot be overemphasized.

lol..was she for you before?

Zceesneh:
those ones are dead she is alive she might repent tomorrow

What she may or may not do in the future does not change who she is today. The bible says by their fruits we shall know them, and her fruit is glaringly obvious.

lofty900:
Why are you are you referring to her as naija bad girl? God has not labeled anyone bad, it's we who label others bad. God loves everyone. No one is perfect in this life

So why do people go to hell?

talktonase:
you must be a very good lawyer...

i'm flattered i'm a law student tho

Nobody likes me

wrong!

Somebody definitely likes you. you just are not noticing the person because you have your eyes fixed on the ones you cannot have.

DaGC:
Now, this is not a bashing of our Armed Forces, especially since I come from a family with deep ties to the security forces, but its really astounding that with all these equipments, training and all, that a group of rag tag civilians with little or no military training (some are even little boys), could wage a war with our military and in some cases defeat them. Its really astounding.


Irrational youths would quote and play politics with it as usual. Please find your mate.


God bless them though. Goodluck cousin as you sail the N-D creeks.

Are you not following Nigerian politics? 2 years back what was the daily cry of the military and those close to them? Was it not the poor state of equipment and inadequacy of arms handed out to them?

Once the govt, then under GEJ got serious at election time, was that not when the story started to change? and when PMB took over when last did you hear of boko haram defeating the Nigerian Army in a single encounter?

talktonase:
If she gets a good lawyer she can walk free based on self defense...

It mostly hinges on the testimony of the deceased's mother. If indeed she will agree that she invited the accused into the home (where she the mother must be a resident), then she might succeed with the self defense argument. However, the story does not add up, and a good prosecutor would ask:

1. Why the man would start beating her on sight;
2. Where the mother who invited her in was, at the time of the altercation. Since she would have been the one to explain to the deceased that it was she who invited her, we must ask why she would return to the premises in her absence. It is unlikely the man would start beating her for no reason, in the presence of his mother who would have informed him that she invited the lady.
3. How she was able to stab an allegedly armed man who was in the process of beating her (note that if he was not in the process of beating her, then it could not have been self defense, but retaliation);
4. How she came about the kitchen knife. Was it lying about the house like a decoration? Or did she come to the house armed with it? If she says she had to go and get it from the kitchen, then, again, it is no longer self defense.

Such bondage. Poor guy...you can't talk, can't smile, must sit with his hands in that position till his muscles get stiff...pure bondage.

amagunnerfan:
I am a big fan of PMB and very happy those girls were released but this is a big propaganda.

Even you know it. What was the intention of the person(s) filming her? Ask yourself that.

I'm shocked that i have to do this for you. Here is how this story goes:

1. You attend a remote boarding school in the troubled northeast of Nigeria. One day in the dead of the night your school is attacked, your colleagues and yourself are kidnapped.

2. Fortunately, you manage to escape, but as you run off into the darkness, you realize your best friend could not make the jump like you did, and you have left her to her fate on with her captors. With mixed feelings of guilt, worry and anguish, you continue your way to freedom. For years you will worry about your dear friend who you left behind. Is she dead? married? getting tortured? sold into slavery? You somehow feel responsible for her plight since you escaped and left her behind. you pray for her everyday.

3. Meanwhile, upon your return to the village, your former neighbors and friends look at you a bit strangely. Your life is also in danger, in the event that boko haram return to recapture or kill you for daring to escape. The government soon intervenes following international pressure, and sends you off to a posh private school somewhere safe. Your life is forever changed, ironically, by your misfortune.

4. One day, you hear excited cries, calling you to come and see the news on tv. Your heart skips a bit, as you hear the words, "Chibok girls". You sprint into the living room/common room as fast as you can, just in time to here the announcer say "here are the scenes from the reunion of the released chibok girls wand their parents". Unbelievably, you see your friend...your close friend who was unable to escape with you those many years ago... she is looking relatively healthy and unharmed...you experience a catharsis...your feelings of joy combined with the relief of the sheer weight of guilt off your shoulders overwhelms you, and you break out into a wild display of dancing and screaming.

5. someone is standing nearby with a smartphone. As is customary in the 21st century, every little thing must be captured and placed online and your wild celebration is no exception.

6. a news hungry blogger or news reporter stumbles across your video/photos and cleverly publishes it online, knowing it will attract massive attention.

What is hard to believe about this scenario, which is probably precisely what has occurred here?

phreakabit:
They need a better camera man, his angles are bad and there is too much noise and blur on that shot.
A better script and story writer too, this picture looks UNBELIEVABLY staged!
I thought the Chibok girls were all from poor families, with broke parents? WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS?

So it's highly staged but the camera work is highly amateurish.... how do you add these two facts together to arrive at your conclusion?

tomandjerry:
You really need two things...

1. Sense and..




2. Sense.

i've noticed you. now off you go!

Benjom:
I'll rather be a player than a fan!


#Main-Not-Subordinate

You better learn how to celebrate other people. Can you be the main in every field of life? This same Obafemi Martins would also become a fan in the presence of someone like Tuface or Dangote. Learn to differentiate ambition from plain old jealousy.

Mujaheeeden:
The propaganda needs to keep going for zombies appetite.


How do we know that fair lady is from chibok with chibok girls being dark in complexion.


Secondly chibok is a village and the chances of such sitting room is very rare

Chai...sorry ehn... your brain cannot tell you that the Chibok girls are all getting rehabilitated away from chibok? Carry on

You must be very lucky the poor snake was weighed down by what it swallowed. It would have sank its fangs into your calf and that would probably be it for you because of how deadly vipers venom are. Just a word of advice, next time you see a viper, mind your business and let the beautiful thing be. It wouldn't mind giving you a deadly kiss at the slightest provocation especially in the sun when snakes are hyperactive. Be warned these are not pythons

Mr snake's advocate. please go and sit down. There is no snake under the sun that cannot or has not already been conquered by man. Even the deadly black mamba, who is "area fada" to the Gaboon Viper has been butchered for lunch over and over again.

twentyk:
I sincerely hope you people wee not kill finish all d snake in naija....
Snakes be wandering why una dey kill us sef gan...we not come ur house na,jejely we dey our cabal u still come kill us...

actually, i hope they kill them all, along with scorpions. Who told you snakes don't go to people's houses? You know how many stories i've heard of snakes sleeping alongside people, on the same pillow, and other forms of misbehavior?

Please, snake killers, do your best to eradicate these creatures for us.

hmmm, the story says that there were willing and happy buyers.

Alright folks, let's try a quick aptitude test:

It is being in a democracy that makes it impossible for the DSS to detain judges indefinitely. They are not politicians and the public outcry is one they cannot cope with. They can get away with political, ethnic and religious detentions as in the cases of Dasuki, Nnamdi Kanu and Zakzaky. I can assure you that they would if they could. 1.

As to the many points or questions, take anyone u feel comfy with or group em anyway u prefer. The important thing is to get meaningful engagement on the subject and no, I do not think they need the top judiciary brass to succeed in harassing and intimidating judges. All they need is guns and presidential nod approving illegality as we clearly see all in d name of fighting corruption. 2.

1. You can't say or imply that these cases are purely cases of ethnocentric or sectarian persecution. That is not factual, and i believe what you stated that you are after here is objectivity. In each of those examples you mentioned, there is overwhelming proof of breakage of the law in a very serious manner that could destabilize the wider society. So if you are saying those men were wrongfully targeted for no just cause and without justification, you are wrong. In each case there is an overwhelming body of evidence that points to breach of the law.

Note also, that they are empowered within the law, to hold these men. That is what is important here, as opposed to fundamentally unprovable allegations of ill-feelings. Even if it maybe proven, Should a thief be set free simply because it is proven that the arresting officer hates him because he slept with his wife?

2. Abstractly speaking, yes all that is needed to harass judges is arms and approval of the executive. But this is the case in every single country in the world. It is in fact, a fundamental problem area of democracy. ie, who will guard the guardians?

In practice, however, this is not the case today in Nigeria. The arrested judges, according to the DSS, are to be charged to court, and in addition to that, the DSS did obtain search warrants (which are issued by the judiciary), prior to their raids. So while, yes the executive can misbehave, it has not yet done so.

Based on the real facts of the case (as opposed to theoretical possibilities), here is why the executive in Nigeria, today, require the judiciary to cooperate:

1. Search warrants are issued by the judiciary
2. The affected judges will be taken to court where they will face fellow judges

So my point was, to intimidate judges, based on the facts of the case we are dealing with today, the process can only commence with the approval of the judiciary in the form of search and/or arrest warrants, and can only conclude with the participation of the judiciary in the form of judgment and sentencing.

Had it been the courts were excluded from the process, then you could talk about intimidation, but since the courts have not been excluded from the process, then the DSS cannot intimidate the affected judges, since they have no power of their own to arbitrarily search and arrest them, nor pass judgment and sentence them. Any other thing does not stop the judges from carrying out their duties.

Reacting specifically to your points:

1-5, yes the DSS may very well have a grudge against certain judges. Does this stop them from investigating those judges? You could only cry foul if the DSS were to be the ones tasked with passing judgment on the judges. The only body to pass judgment here, will be a court or courts;

6, 7 & 8, The law deals with allegation and reasonable proof. In the presence of these elements, are you saying that the guilty should be excused on the basis on the fact that the person who caught them does not like them?

With regards to 8 in particular, the only message sent here is that the DSS is above, not the law, but corrupt judges;

9 & 10, the DSS is not above the law, and there is a procedure for dealing with them when they act ultra vires. Let the relevant watchdog do it's job. You cannot ask the DSS to clip it's own wings.

11, this is massive exaggeration. a "take down" implies that these judges were eliminated by some means. This is hardly the case. They were simply detained for a few hours and released. Since you have failed to establish for a fact that these actions occurred as payback for unfavorable rulings in court, we must accept the word of the DSS (innocent until proven guilty), that they raided the judges because they are corrupt. More so given the preponderance of the evidence stacked against the judges.

So, to prepare for the day when your brother may be killed, extra-judiciously, by the DSS, you should fight for a clean judiciary, against whom incrimination may not be brought. Look at it this way, if a judge is known to be corrupt, even if he rules correctly in favor of your extra-judically executed brother, the society may not be able to trust his judgment, and when people lose faith in the justice system, society is in trouble. Our first problem is not an unruly DSS, it is an untrustable judiciary.

12, Both. for the executive to perform it's function of executing the law, it must necessarily interpret the law, while the judiciary exists to provide corrective and final interpretation where the executive and it's bodies may have erred. That is why the DSS must investigate and arrest, and the courts must judge and sentence.

13; No. desperate times call for desperate measures. Since civilian rule came to Nigeria almost 2 decades ago, the judiciary has reigned unchecked. Now it is time for that body to also realize that there is a limit to how far it may do and undo to the benefit of it's members and the rich, and at the detriment of the average man.

14. No. And if it does, it will be a good thing. The detained judges will have their day in courts who will decide on their innocence or guilt and the legality or illegality of the procedures used by the DSS.

WE CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE ON THE DSS ARREST OF MANY JUDGES AT ONCE

...As we say, knowledge and love are the only two things you get more of when you share what you have. So, let us continue our debate on the activities of the DSS in relation to the arrest of judges in Nigeria. One thing I request of all participants in this debate is that we be civil with one another.
No name-calling.
No insults.
No personal attacks.
No accusations of member's motives.
Just intelligent contributions.

Let us ask some questions that will guide us in our thought processes.

(1) Does DSS have other interactions with the judges, apart from monitoring their lifestyle?

(2) Is it not true that DSS has several cases all over the country, such as the case of Dasuki, the case of Nnamdi Kanu, and DSS has been clashing with judges in those cases?

(3) Is it not true that in very recent times, two DSS cases went to ECOWAS Court and DSS lost in those cases - the case of the people the DSS killed and false accused them of shooting at them, and the case of Dasuki?

(4) Is it not reasonable that DSS would perceive the decisions of ECOWAS court as something that might embolden the Nigerian courts into making more adverse decisions against DSS, and there is need on the part of DSS to send a strong message to the Nigerian judges?

(5) Is it not correct that DSS is led by a personal friend of the President, whose party faired badly in governorship election cases in Rivers and Akwa Ibom and there is need to punish judges who were perceived to be responsible for those unfavorable outcomes?

(6) Assuming that these judges were really engaged in corruption, how can we ensure that DSS would not use this as a pretext to achieve other purposes?

(7) In other words, how do we know that in enforcing the law against these judges, DSS would not also use the situation to make sure they sent a strong message to judges all over the country?

(8.)Are you aware that since the past two years, DSS has over 100 cases where it has refused to obey court orders. Many human right cases against DSS in which the people got judgments against the DSS have been there without DSS wanting to obey the courts. Those people are looking for ways to get the courts to order DSS to obey. Now, DSS sends messages to all those courts that they are above the law.

(9) Okay, we all have been saying that the judges are NOT above the law, but is the DSS above the law?

(10) If we must hold the judges accountable to the law, why are we not holding DSS accountable to the law. Or is DSS the law itself?

(11) If you allow the DSS to chose to take down judges any time they like - just in the middle of the night like that - how do you expect a judge to give a judgement against the DSS if they kill your brother in an extrajudicial killing?

(12) Who is it that interpretes the constitution of the law? Is it DSS or the Courts?

(13) Are you absolutely sure that there was no better way to handle this incident than the drama, turmoil and confusion that occurred last week?

(14) Do you not agree that just as the extrajudicial killing of the three people that were accused of drug pushing defined Buhari's military regime, the arrest of the judges by the DSS is going to define his civilian regime? Is it worth it? Do you think it was the right decision?

There are too many issues raise here for one to respond comprehensively... some of the points could have been aggregated. Now some of these allegations and assumptions may or may not be true. One has no way of telling for a fact that the DSS has or does not have anything against these judges, but when it comes to intimidation of the judiciary one thing that has always struck me is that this particular allegation does not add up. This is because, to effectively intimidate them in such a manner, it requires the cooperation of both the DSS and the highest levels of the judiciary. Would the judiciary turn on itself for no reason?

If the DSS was going after these judges purely to prove that they can get them, and by so doing intimidate them into doing their bidding, then it would necessary for the DSS to use another channel which does not require a recourse to the judiciary. For example, if the DSS could arrest and detain these judges indefinitely, without explanation, then we would have enough grounds to suspect and allege of illegal interference of the executive. However, since the DSS eventually intends to take them to court, then the judges are not subject to the whims of the DSS, but rather will face a separate arm of government, in the judiciary, of which they are a part.

The only reason the judges could then fear facing their fellow judges is if there is actual evidence against them. In the absence of which they will be acquitted, and probably more speedily so than the average man, i might add.

What difference does it make?

the difference, obviously, is that you abused him for having sex after playing like a fool last night, whereas he had sex about a 3 weeks before "playing like a fool last night", after a game where he actually played brilliantly. Thus your comment is misguided as the Paul Pogba, based off the report which we are both commenting on, is not in fact, said to have had any sex last night, and if having sex after "playing like a fool" was something wrong, then Pogba did nothing wrong (that you or i know of).

OBTSubtle:
after playing like a fool for Man Utd last night.. Him still get the mind to fučk woman.. SMH

Dude this alleged incident occurred a couple games back

Built2last:
Imagine bokoharam having a free ride in Borno in 8 vehicles. is that not a convoy. yet Bokoharam has been defeated.

The media has suddenly stopped reporting aggresivelly the happenings in that region. Not that Bokoharam has receded in any for.

how can negotiation with Bokoharam be going on and both army and Bokoharam are bombing each other. who then is negotiating? Beleive this government at your own peril.

Here was my position when the 21 girls were released

I don't think we have heard all there is about these girls being paraded as Chibok girls.

Here are my questions. Nd if you have answers provide.

1. Anywhere in the world, when negotiations begin...There is a ceasefire between waring and opposing side. On monday Bokoharam bombed in Maiduguri killing 9 and Bokoharam was negotiating.
Tuesday Nigerian Airforce was bombing sambisa and smoking out Bokoharam members. Yet, we were told they were negotiating.

2. How can 21 girls of Chibok come back and there is no jubilation in Chibok, no picture of an excited mother trekking to Abuja to come and embrace her daughter after 2 years.

3. Lai Mohammed said nothing was exchanged for their release. Another news said 4 commanders of Bokoharam were released.


5. Chibok school, no news of excitement from those in school now that some of their seniors have been released.

6. You claimed you brought them back and flew them to Abuja where it will make news and took them to DSS clinic where they will not have the press take a close look and ask few questions. I never knew that DSS clinic is the best to rehabilitate emotionally wounded people.

7 Almost 100 found or escaped now, still no interview. Each one is spiritedoff to Sudan and some other country for "education."

No really, no pastor is using one to boast that the mother came to him topray andhis prayers worked HALLELUJAH! No alfa or Jazzman .

8. In another 2 weeks the 21 girls will disappear into thin air with no trace for interview like others before them.
All I know is that days and months ahead will reveal more.

9. How come none of the girls can speak even pigin English.

Feeders from Nigerian military says they are not aware any Chibok girls were released. And they have chosen to maintain their fight in North East. No Nigerian high ranking military officer can boldly tell you they are aware of any negotiation that took place. Only DSS know where they manufactured those village women. You negotiate and no cease fire? Hmmmm

When a lie has been told you need many more lies to sustain the former.
To whom head is given. Brain is required.

My Opinion.

1. Each case must be judged on it's own merit. There can only be a ceasefire when the parties o the negotiations envisage a potential meeting of the minds that will result in lasting solution to the conflict. In this case, the negotiations have solely been for the release fo the Chibok girls, and there has been no meeting of the minds over the issue of a strategic resolution of the conflict. Note that boko haram have never been interested in this, thus they have nothing to lose by continuing their nefarious acts even while negotiating.

2. Use your brain. How would the government allow mothers trek to Abuja to see their delivered daughters? Also 21 out of hundreds, released, how could Chibok celebrate?

3. That was probably a lie from Lai Mohammed.

4. Absence of news coverage of events in Chibok school does not mean such events did not take place. Use your brain.

5. Now you know. If you were using your brain, you would have thought of the fact that the DSS could not release these girls into the wider society just yet, because they need to be debriefed, to ensure that none of them is a boko haram convert.

6. That is a lie. There have been interviews. But why must there be interviews in the first place? Is that not putting the girls through emotional trauma? Getting tired of repeating this, but use your brain.

7. Your opinion. Though i wonder whether you realize these are human beings who i imagine would like to get on with their lives and not remain a public spectacle!

8. These girls are from the same northern village where they all speak the same language. Why would they speak pidgin? I am really trying hard to understand why you think it is a requirement for all Nigerians to speak pidgin.

What you refused to consider is the simple fact that both boko haram and the govt agree that Chibok girls have been released. Why would boko haram do that?

Please, use your brain.

but an amputated penis can be reattached if the tissue is kept alive which should have been the case since the procedure was carried out in a hospital. What a lesson.

I agree with d senator, hw can a woman u paid her bride price declare war on u in public Aisha deserves to be thrown out of Aso rock by Buhari.

A woman was created for a man nothing more, jst to be his help mate. Creation of a woman was actually God second thought. All these gender equality nonsense won't stand.

A wife nw an opposition to her husband on international TV, Aisha is an evil wife n a disaster to Buhari.

PEJ supported GEJ 109% n dts what a wife shld look like

Sure, PEJ stood by her man and with the millions of dollars of tax payer's funds. She stood with her man, yet she was the cause fo 40% of GEJ's troubles. She stood with him because of what she stood to gain. From the get go, Aisha Buhari has been relegated tot he background, with PMB declaring he would not maintain an office of the first lady. She has not spoken independently until now and it is clear that she is standing by her man and much more, standing by what he represents! This woman understands that Nigerians are gradually turning against the president, and she wants the people to know that what is happening is not his fault.

That is unselfish and courageous loyalty for which she has received ridicule from her husband, implicit threats of violence from a supposed religious leader, and now is being used by a senator from some place, somewhere, to shine. No doubt, she knew all this would happen but she went ahead anyway, and did what she did.

#istandwithAishaBuhari

CACAWA:
No shame again...

So now "he was joking"
The only thing in this message is that Garba Shehu agrees with us that Buhari made a terribly wrong statement.
In the world today, Gender Equality is a very hot topic, and there you stand, in the full glare of international media, side by side with the German Chancellor, then you make a statement ridiculing the place of a woman...

...even Donald Trump has lost so much support based on his "locker room" talk ....


And you call it a joke?

I know a joke when I hear one...

The video of Buhari laughing before he responded to the question did not show a man who was about to crack a nasty joke.

It showed a man who felt "hmmm...a whole me....Walahi I will show this girl pepper when I return to Nigeria"
It is that kind of laughter your parents give you when you disgrace them in public.

I fear Aisha Buhari may henceforth be given the same treatment of the fmr Enugu First Lady (house arrest)

Let me conclude by correcting another wrong notion.
When he said "my kitchen, my living room" and "the other room" instead of "my bedroom"...
Psychologist will get the message...PMB and his wife no longer share same bedroom. She stays in "the other room"

Many people didn't understand that subtle message.

The cabals are really at work.

You are very wrong about the bolded (although i agree with you on the rest). When he said "the other room", he simply wanted to avoid the explicit sexual connotations of saying "the bedroom", preferring in a show of belated taste to imply it and allow mature viewers make the inference. Obviously.

The face you make when you have defended a man for years and he comes out with a statement like this...
