LuvU2:
I think it's high time people started seeing Nigerians based abroad as the huge joke they re. With all that cockiness in our faces cos they re now third class citizens in so called first world countries (what the hell does that even mean. First world? nd we third/last world? Who comes up with all these ratings.) Life started in Africa nd then all of a sudden we re third world? how we have stopped so low to allow people judge us based on how much we hv nd not how humane we re.

Btw, if Nigeria is anything to go by, we in this part of the world aren't humane as you're painting us uk

wtf is he saying?? he should go and peruse the laws of our country first

DanseMacabre:
But it appears to be consensual na, though she's obviously under the influence of drugs.

Did you read the post? She was a minor so it doesn't matter if the whole thing was her idea sef

Preca:

Lool,btw I visited...and its proof not prove

Cornerstone199:
WHY SHE NO GO WEAR BRA

Quite sad when your favorite character leads to the demise of your show. They could find a way around it tho,like Jill the character instead of the show

akintade59:
[b][/b] A frustrated UNILAG aspirants who sat for the POST UTME cries bitterly about being rejected of admission into the citadel of learning. He alleged the school about the admission malpractices going on where money exchange hands. What a poor boy, we hope the management of UNILAG will respond to this.

Listen to the aduio. [size=8pt][/size][color=#990000][/color]

Didnt listen to the audio, he should pick himself up and kick harder instead of trading blames!

kettykin:
this is why i love Europe , What happens now in Spain will to a very large extent determine if Biafra will be realised or not

Our constitution to a larger extent has a greater effect on the possibility, if any, of any Biafran determination whatsoever

jdluv:
fat excess and lack of exercise

tell that to Serena Williams

I could barely read your writeup mehn, its like the sentences just stopped midway.Anyways , you might wanna look into more channels and administrative remedies for the problem. i'd advice you exhaust every available remedy within the school first, i.e the Dean(which i'm guessing the HOD still answers to), the Senate?school council, VC et al

nickxtra:
16-year-old teenage girl has been arrested along with 52 men after they were caught having intercourse with her consent in turns.

According to the police, it looked like an initiation ceremony for members of Supreme Vikings Confraternity.


“I joined them three months ago and during my initiation, I was forced to have sex with every registered member of the cult present that night. I was given a sedative so as not to feel what they were doing. It was not easy, but I bore the pain,”

Nbote..
@both bolded statements, they seem contradictory...I saw just the first statement hence why I said she wasn't raped. But now that the news is halfbaked sef,one might wana take her age into consideration

.

softsmile:
Eventually if she wasn't caught and they all successfully raped her, she go later call herself slay bitch.

they didn't "rape" her.

AnonyNymous:
Do you know what alumni means? Are you trying to say that if EVERYONE that has graduated from OAU since 1961 cannot contribute money together to raise N1 billion? That's why I said IF they really want to.

@Interman,tha above is what I mean o. AnonyNymous already replied you but in addition, I'm not talking broke alumnus or dropouts or those with vendetta against the school o,bro,there are over hundreds of thousands of Alumni...I'm talking the likes of Dele Momodu,Mimiko of Ondo,Oyinlola of Osun...Oluremi tinubu..Femi Adesina..Otedola..Jimoh Ibrahim...Awosika of First bank inter alia. Bro trust me you're wrong,these guys will build four times the capacity of AWO. #nuffsaid

INTERMAN:
You want to kill alumni be that. Don't you know AWO Hall is one of the largest (if not the largest) Hall of residence in Africa. That project will be too big for them to handle.

@ bolded, are you joking?? if properly motivated, the alumni can annd would even build twice the AWO hall!!

Kobicove:
They didn't even waste time before arresting him...what if the accuser was lying?

didn't expect a nigga to be treated befittingly tho

Quite easy tho... Had 9

adexeli:
Well they'll definitely end up together, what should have happened since

loool, as in ehn, much awaited union

adexeli:
I don't think Harvey will hop on the bandwagon right away, it'll be quite unfair to Paula, he was finally getting his shi.t together and here comes Donna suddenly

yeah true.. But then you know he has unresolved feelings for Donna... Ik he'll def not cheat on Paula considering his experience with his mother

adexeli:
The show has nothing really to offer anymore. Mike wants to eat his cake and have it, he can't deny the fact he doesn't like the corporate lawyer thingy but still wants to keep deceiving himself with those pro Bono cases. If he really wants to do only pro Bono cases he should quit Pearson specter and go work at the clinic. Waiting for Donna and Harvey to happen

well DonHarvey finally had its way, or prolly it was teaser

hngprincess:
Hiya [at] joeyfire. Have you gotten a chance to come and check out Lekki Conservation Centre recently? It's really amazing now.
The place has really opened up as a tourist destination. Both the IJGB (I just got back, rich men's children visiting home from the abroad) and the oyibo expat are writing blog post review of the place nearly every weekend.

I'm also writing an article on it (and all the buzz it's getting these days), that's why I'm in the nairaland archives. Just so your comment and thought to let you know the place is doing great now.

I went there recently based on this post; the Canopy walk was crazy but besides that, not much was wowing there.....like they really have a lot to work on there, a whole number of guides should be added there, i didnt even know there was a treehouse till i met some ladies talking about it on my way out, and it was already late,literally.

Am i the only on that finds the harvey-pyschiatrist romance too sudden? the whole thing seems somewhat rushed. I like the premiere though, the Donna promotion was a mad ass plot twist i never saw coming

Hey guys,I'm not particularly sure of the right section for this. But does anybody have any idea of a reliable store where I can rent/purchase costumes in Lagos?
By costume I don't mean Killer bean,Barnie and the likes o more of superhero costume or any other awesome one. You could indicate the price range if you're familiar with it.

Papzey:
Do you know that there are some words we use incorrectly and we don’t even know about it until today?
3. Terrific (adjective): This word is not the synonym for the words “terrible” or “terrifying”, but it means “great”, “very good”, “tremendous”, etc. It formerly meant “to cause terror” in the old days.

Examples:
i. I had a terrific feeling at the audition.
ii. He had a terrific performance at the dance competition.



7. Impeach (verb): This word is one of the most used words in our political climate and in public service. In the US, to impeach someone means “to charge a public office holder to court for a serious crime”, such as fraud; while in British English, it means “to charge someone to court for treason or another heavy crime against the state”. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean the persons charged had been removed from office. This word can also mean to “to question the validity of a practice”.

Examples:
i. He was impeached for dereliction of duty.
ii. The head of the department was impeached for not supporting the fight against corruption.
iii. I think Nigerians should impeach the immunity clause for serving governors in Nigeria.



What do you think and which one do you use often?

I think I'm guilty of almost all of the stuff above and its quite embarrassing, lol. But then,impeach could also mean removing from office due to misconduct

VastFinder:
Family law is a collective term used in describing those laws that deal with any matter that has a significant impact on family relationships, like abuse, custody, divorce and adoption. In this write-up, you will get to learn one or two things about family law in Nigeria. Yes, you are not a lawyer; be that as it may, you still need to get adequately informed about these things.

Family law is very broad. As a result, only the marriage and divorce aspects will be covered in this write-up.

• Marriage
According to section 49 of the Marriage Act, there is limited recognition of foreign marriage between parties, one of whom must be a citizen of Nigeria. When a Nigerian decides to get married to a foreigner, such a marriage must be contracted before a Nigerian official or a Nigerian court official with a minimum rank of a Secretary. If not, such a marriage will not be counted as valid by the Nigerian family law.

Section 3(1)(c) of the Matrimonial Causes Act provides that “A marriage will be declared as void if such marriage is not a valid marriage under the law of the particular place or location or country where the marriage had taken place, especially by reason of failure of the husband and wife to comply with all the requirements of the law in that particular country. With respect to the form of solemnization of marriages”

• Divorces & annulment
The Nigerian family law gives recognition to marriage dissolution decree or nullity if it is made in accordance to the law of a foreign country with respect to that under section 81 (2-9) of the Matrimonial Causes Act.

If a marriage had been dissolved in a foreign country, it is recognized as dissolved in Nigeria too, provided the dissolution was done in line with the guidelines of the foreign country.

• Grounds for divorce
The only ground for divorce under the Nigerian law is if the marriage has completely broken down and it is not retrievable. The petitioner must make case to satisfy the court of law that there is lack of consummation in the marriage, and that there is case of adultery and the fact that the petitioner finds it very intolerable to live together with the respondent.

Other grounds for divorce are highlighted below
° The other party to the marriage has been away from the petitioner for a given period of time and therefore provides reasonable ground for the presumption that he or she is dead.

° The other party to the said marriage, for the minimum period of 1 year, has failed to comply with a decree of conjugal right and restitution.

° The parties involved in the marriage have been living separately for a continuous period lasting for at least three years before the petitioner filed the petition.

° The parties to the marriage have lived apart for at least two years continuously after the petition has been filed and there is no objection to the divorce on the part of the respondent.

Once marriage breaks down, the court has the power to settle property or allocate financial resources at the instance and also for the benefit of the parties and the children produced in the marriage.
