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.

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.

4everGod1:
You guys should look beyond the amount she is demanding for and look at the credibility of her claim and the lawsuit itself. If her rights and those of her children have been violated she deserves a right to have a fiar hearing be compensated adequately for the trauma that has caused not just her but also her children.

They say she is mentally unstable but she gave birth to these kids in her so called mental state and she raised them "in her so called mental state" to a certain age before they got taken from her.

honeric01:
Because she sued for $900 trillion, she's unstable? some people self, she knows why she asked for such money = attention to her case,  a mentally unstable person won't do that, she did that to be heard by the world just like the news article indicated.

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.

yelz of course a phone like that better come witha pair of limbs

Dude, that amount can build a house and you become Oga Landlord for Lagos. What a misplacement caused by sheer luxury.

That could be a scarification, whatever!, she does not dress decently. She looks weird and that ultimately negates the decency expected of her position as govt representative. What was she thinking? Could it be a show-off? To Sambo or Jonathan.

I am sure VP Sambo was dissing her but she seems careless. DISGUSTING!!!!!!

[size=64pt]CHRISTIANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

Last I checked CHRISTIANITY was and never a Nigerian Culture.

There is this fetish culture in Lagos (I don't know what they call it) that forbids movement of people (people keep indoors) whenever their activities are on.

This also happens even in the heart of Lagos (Ikeja). Lagos as a megacity should do away with such culture.

Life is what we make of it. We want to turn it right we can, we want to make a mess of it, we can as well. Every successful event in life is measured on the level of planning. Money alone is not a guarantee for success. Success is an individual thing

Innocently and without suspecting anything untoward, he wheeled the barrow closer to the truck. “Oga, you wan buy. Nah original CD o. I get fine, fine Fela music for here” he said. There was a long silence. More officers, clutching AK 47 rifles had gathered round the man. Then a slap, which sounded like thunder clap, was delivered into his lean cheek .

The man was dazed, almost confused. He attempted an escape but was hemmed in by stern looking soldiers who had formed a ring round him. There was silence in the midst of the chaos nearby. A crowd had gathered in the distance, ready to do a Usain Bolt if the situation turns uglier.

Very Hilarious. I feel for the poor lad.

Nigeria's contribution to world can not be over-emphasized. Nigeria is strategic to African Political and economic policies.

Security: Nigeria is a country to reckon with in African and United Nations Peace Mission.
People and Culture: The diversity of her culture and people are of sentimental value to world tourism. Her cultural manifestations are rich historical references in millenniums to come.

Above all, Nigeria is strategic to the world

I would love to pick Debrief08 any time any day. I never believe in Valentine day

shameful, disappointing and unnigerian. Siddon look syndrome, symptom of docility and retrogression.

I had no doubt that this whole amnesty was beautifully stage-managed.

Jonathan definitely has a lot of fishes to fry. There is more to his past than his present and future. Me think, his past as a governor in Bayelsa is coming to hunt him now at the national level. Apparently, he had no antecedent whatsoever to lead this country. The country will sure implode in his face. Even if he means well (i don't know how long Nigerians can wait) as verbally claim in some quarters without concrete evidences. It is disheartening, watching Nigerians being slaughtered in cold-blood everyday and the govt appears helpless. If the president's resignation can bring some level of respite to the already heated polity, i don't get why he is hesitating. Our leaders should learn to throw in their papers if the public is not on their side. My humble opinion.

There is no holiday in nigeria compared to the chinese, taiwanese and japanese republics. Chinese just observed the year of dragon that lasted more than 7 days (chained). As an industrial country, it is interesting to note that virtually all industries were closed during this holiday. They also have the year of rabbit, the dragon boat festival and so many others that are culturally-based. As import-based or consumption-based economy, Nigeria can afford to go on holidays (usually 1 - 2 days) distributed b/w Christians and Moslems except few on national matters.

there is no big deal on our national holidays. They are relieves to Nigerians who work round the clock at the expense of their family, and at the end receives stipends as benefit for his service. I wish more could be added to the already insufficient holidays

Nice one govt akpabio. It should not just stop at making donations to victims. You are part of the govt whose existence has been threatened by this dreaded group. You and others should chart up ways to curb the menace of this dreaded group.

ladies boring replies on social chat is commonplace. i wish some ladies could up their game. chats should be fun.

He has broken a record to his person as the most insulted president of all time. If he tells me this record does bother him, then he is obviously a dreaded personality

This is a case of a Nigerian calling a Ghanaian black. Let's be objective, as far Bayelsa is concern, last I checked when goodluck was deputy governor later governor nothing substantially new was happening in that state. Accusing his immediate past governor of non-performance is a clear picture of ''delusions of grandeur''.

@Debrief08, I have been following you (your comments) on NL. If how you response to post is a true representation of you, I am absolutely humbled by your virtue. You are worthy to be call a LADY.

Please, don't deviate from who you are, I assure you the sky will never be your limit in life but a starting point.

Cheers!

****puke****

disgusting aaaaaaahhhhhhh!

Logic Mind:
Love is very creative.
Some creative ways people have tried:

-phuck her other holes.
-tie her up and slap her silly
-bring another babe to join you two in bed.
-tie a rope round her neck and walk her like a dog making her eat from a plate on the floor.
-kneel her down in the bathroom and piss on her

there are many more but those may be censored on nl.

If love has gone this far then love is wicked

d_surrogat:
I opened her bag,stole her money n replaced it with a condom n left a note "just to say i love u see what i bought 4u, cheers"

you funny dude. Any way that's creativity. Some naija girls would probably give you a bleeding head as acceptance of your action.

Ch@nges:
Break into her house @ night b4 she returns nd spread flowers(red rose) from her door step to her bed and on her bed, use the flowers to write I LOVE YOU. Hope it works 4 u

Mehn, like a NLer warned: DONT TRY THIS AT HOME. may be acceptable outside naija

Your friend (Jacqueline) could be sued for violence assault. Her action was totally uncalled-for. The waiter was rude, out of pressure from throng of customers (am not justifying her rudeness), but I expected your friend to be smarter than the poor waiter by requesting to see the manager (trust me,you would have been attended to nicely). waiters rudeness are commonplace but how a customer handles that is another thing.

Regrettably, jacqueline's exposure has not been able to reform her Public relationship. She should not feel happy and fulfilled for what she did. That was absolutely debasing

These guys are ready to die for what they believe in. It is laughable jubilating over the arrest of Boko member (or the supreme head).

Kamardiran:
I think most nigerians are dumb, do u think someone whose ideology allows him to kill people or even bcome a suicide bomber will be afraid to die? We must nt make d same mistake again,d death of dir leader was d genesis of boko haram destruction of life and property, dialogue still remain d best solution 4 bokoharamism, torture d arrested man till next century,he wnt gv out any info,

Thank you for the reminder. The issue is beyond arresting a spoke person and torturing him to talk. Dealing with rebels of this sort with brazen impunity to take life can be too complicated to deal with. The security apparatus is porous and compromising. It takes holistic overhaul of our security apparatus to make security works. The govt holds the key

These Boko guys are more intelligent than the SSS. I bet the wrong guy was arrested. These boys are smart, if they aren't their camp would have been infiltrated by now. I can beat my heart and tell you these daredevils have infiltrated the SSS and the security network with informants. They wouldnt ignorantly sent their spoke person to negotiate with govt. They had done their work before deciding to meet with the govt. Even a law abiding Nigerian does not trust the govt of the day, how much more a group of outlaws?

Not until there is a level of public trust and seamless relationship between the public and the security agents (Police specifically), security will always elude the govt

Maulud holiday is a national holiday. It does not just start this year. This has not called for exchange of grenades folks. Easy Easy.

Draft

It beats my imagination how we are being coerced and intimidated not to stand up against the apparent ineptitude of this govt which results in wanton killings, injustices and anti-masses policies of the govt of the day.

It is time we rose and stood our ground. Mere signing e-condolences is 'by the way' to the issues on ground. While praying for the repose of the souls of all victims of boko haram and govt insensitivity, let's be reminded that our destiny is in our hands. . .who signs our condolences if the masses (me and you) are all extinct victims (GOD forbids) of the same ills of the govt? Who will be the scapegoat?

Why are successes not attributed to GOD but man of of God?. Please, Nigerians should grow up. Religious fanatism is driving us away from the truth. Shameful!
