abduldope: guY o abg which skuL u attNd This na Grammer abi Phrasal verb

THE AMAKA: The comments on this thread made me realize why Nigerians are still living in the dark ages. Some are even saying that she deserved it or she probably caused it or rather she should be dead? Sick disgusting souls. People and their pathetic lives worried about what an adult is doing with herself on a rated 18+ show? Primitive minds.
While your so called leaders rape you all everyday, you're here calling Beverly names for things that do not even concern you.
Typical Nigerian, can never mind their own business, even when their own house is on fire. Is Beverly a UN ambassador? Foolish people.

0mOnnakoda 25: What federal law is this please tell us. I don't think you know what you are talking about. Murder and related matters comes under the state jurisdiction.he is being charged with attempted murder. Is that a federal offence?

Mr Aboki: Negligent homicide/Negligent Manslaughter..

I guess

Ayee Idris: I don tire to dey read all these wanna-be lawyers(your words dear) saying matters that they really don't know much about. Ever heard of the "Egg Shell princple" Applicable here and in many countries. Meaning if you slap someone and the person has some special peculiar condition that causes them to die from the slap, it is still murder. And Men reas is not only just intent to kill. If you have intent to cause grevious bodily harm and the person dies from that, that's still murder. The locus classicus case that I can't recall right now (it don reach 10 years since I learn am for criminal law). The guy was fighting with his brother and hit him once with the blunt end of his cutlass. The brother died immediately. Obviously he didn't intend to kill him, since he used the blunt end, but he intended to injure him and it was still murder. Manslaughter is more accidental, like vehicular manslaughter, provocation or causes where murder can't be proved.

In the words of Damien Sandow, you are welcome.

Mr Aboki: Bros I be street Lawyer o!!

Learnt from my aunties, my mum, John Grisham, and now my mother in-la and my wife are both lawyers..

I am an engineer.. But my alter ego is a 'wanna-be lawyer'..

theoctopus: Chidi Llyod has provided the most damning proof of intent: revenge. When he keeps shouting he was attacked first, that is proof of revenge.

When 3 men hold down a man on the table and one man raises up a mace to the sky to bring it down on a defenseless person, that is proof of intent right there and that is also a blatant proof of conspiracy. All these aspiring lawyers on NL self. lol. Google and Wikipedia lawyers.

Mr Aboki: Im sure say na your type for don sentence Zimmerman to death for their palour..

Yeah!! I lifeted the darn definition off of wikipedia, but that doesnt make it any less true. In law, cases are not solved based on 'emotions' but certain laid down laws.

Your real problem is a limited mindset.. Chack out this scenario;

Chidi lloyd rushes into that hall empty handed as he was, grabbed ihunwo, pins hin to the ground and rains down punches on his face and causes the exact same damage he did to ihunwo with the mace, would you still be shouting 'Attempted murder'?! I doubt it. Stop focusing on the mace my child.. Look at the broader picture..

Now if Chidi Lloyd had grabbed a stick from outside and walked into that hall with it and proceeded to attack Ihunwo with that stick, then you have a solid basis to claim 'Mens rea' and thus attempted murder based on the 'actus rea'.

If you cant prove intent, then you have no case for murder.

wirinet: This is not the first time legislators had been assaulted on the floor of the state or national assembly, and no other case had even made it to court. Dino Melaye was assaulted by Bankole's supporters on the floor of the national assembly, and the courts declined jurisdiction citing legislative immunity of the offenders. One argument chidi's lawyer can present is that the house was not in session when the assault took place and so not covered by legislative immunity. But legislative immunity as stated in our laws allow a legislator to go Scot free on crimes committed on the floor of the state or national assembly.

kolado: I was watching Channel tv yesterday when i saw a good many Nigerians carrying placards with bold inscriptions of these likes 'Say No To Child Bride' and 'Child Not Bride' e.t.c. I waited with sick feeling of suspense to get the gist of the news before i knew it i saw a humanright activist being interviewed but she only just said they won't support the amendment bill of underage marriage in Nigeria. I understand our grievances that we are trying to snuff out the legalization of underage marriage though we don't seem to know that the grave issue at state is next to nothing because constitutionally,it's nothing to do with underage marriage under the 1999 constitution as amended. It's pertinent at this crucial juncture to apprise able-minded Nigerians of the fact that Section 29(4)(b)CFRN 1999 as amended which provides thus:Any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age. This section is under chapter 3 of the CFRN 1999 as amended which borders on CITIZENSHIP. Thus,Section 29(1) provides thus:Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation. How ever does this liken to underage marriage? Sec 29(4)(a)provides that for the purposes of subsection(1)of this section (a)"full age"means the age of eighteen years and above. Thus,the combined reading of Section 29(1) and 29 (4)(a)and(b) mean that once you're a citizen of Nigeria of full age(18 years and above),either male or female who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for renunciation. Now the controversial section 29(4)(b)means that once any woman(in simple term girl) is married shall be deemed to be of full age. She will automatically be deemed to be 18yrs and above eventhough she's 13yrs old by virtue of marriage to renounce her nigeria citizenship. In as much as she has got married to a man eventhough she's not of full age she would be deemed to be so in order to renounce her nigerian citizenship by virtue of Section 29(4)(b)1999 CFRN as amended.In conclusion,it's shameful that our senators don't have sound interpretation of statute. If the situation had been so,underage marriage as we have thought,lawyers wouldn't have rested on their oars rather snuff out such barbaric law.I don't like whipping up tribal sentiments at its sadistic worst. I love you al!

dom: 10 years at the bar.

dom: 10 years at the bar.

dom: first of all i'd like to empathise and say sorry for the embarrasment your dad suffered. I imagine you would have preferred if he hadnt been subjected to that opprobrium. now, about suing. Equity will not suffer a wrong to be without a remedy. So I think you can sue, not for enforcement of fundamental human rights, but for damages. You could proceed by first getting your lawyer to write the state commissioner of police and copy the I.G. In the letter he should narrate your experiences and then ask for a written apology and 50 million naira damages to be paid within 14 days failure of which you'll proceed to court. The letter will compel them to invite your lawyer for settlement out of court. When they pay you the reduced amount don't forget to inform me so i can send my legal bill to you.

Willy1willy: Wole Soyinka need to check into Mental Hospital, he have lost his bearing

debbleopto: do you know these people can support Judas Iscariot as long they are having shares in the 30 pieces of silver. come to think of it, the madam is not their mother, in-law nor Auntie. she and her husband received bipi (blood pressure ) and and the fantastic four into ask rock last two weeks. after some days of energizing, the five went into action in the RSHA. the presidency do not see anything wrong in the impeachment process of five against 27 members. The would never comment on that because to them 5 is majority as 16 is higher than 19. that is plutonian mathematics.

99cent: gbam.

nairaland is full of senseless lizard brains.
old men are throwing chairs at each other. yet they see no one to blame than the first lady.
somehow, it's the woman that is the problem and cause of the men's foolishness. Why don't they go and tie her to a tree and stone her. rubbish. soon they will call her a witch. she magically used her powers to make the men start throwing things at each other

none of them have any evidence for the nonsense they are spewing about.
rivers crisis is a result of corrupt, senseless MEN in that state. no need to scapegoat the first lady.

tinnymerit: Seconded,revolution cant happen in Nigeria.With estimated 250 tribes and 150 languages it wont come into play and also many still love their lives especially the yorubas though many termed as cowardice but life is worth living even without money and food.My 2 rupees.
