Nigerian Judges are the major reason why Corruption will never reduce in Nigeria.

The "message" they are sending out is: Steal/Embezzle an Amount Big Enough, before you are brought before my Court o otherwise, l will treat you like Bobyrisky Vs. Cubana high Priest (One Law for the Rich, another for the 'Average').

Anytime you want to Loot, factor-in the Judiciary's Cut and you will be fine.
The only People that get long sentence for embezzlement, are those who loot in Thousands or steal Bread because they are Hungry.
Those who Steal in Billions of Dollars/Naira just waste Court's time and are set free eventually, "to share 10% to my Lord" and enjoy the rest of their Loot.

bizzibodi:

Why you they talk like this na!this fight is not about religion.

Those who inject Religion into this discuss, are fools of the highest Order!
They are not even worth discussing with.

bizzibodi:

You people has not sense of history,in 1979 Iranian islamic revolution,Iran attack US embassy in Tehran & abducted over 100 american diplomats...is that not an attack on an embassy? attacking embassy is not new thing ,an American ambassador was killed in US consulate in Libya.

It still does not make it right!
Two Wrongs does not make a Single Right.
According to the UN Charter and Article 51 of the Geneva Convention, the Consulate of any Country is a Sovereign Soil of that Country, inviolable to others.
Imagine if everyone starts behaving like a Rogue State and attacking Embassies?
Up till this moment, Russia still have Embassy in EU Countries like Germany, France and even America and those Consulates are not being b0mbed like Israel did.
If Israel thinks it wants to fight and it is strong, it should go it alone and fight it own battle, stop dragging the USA into it, it should stop using F-35 and Reaper Drones to attack Unarmed Women and Children in Gaza, that is an act of Cowardice and Genocide.

One thing is certain, all these Wars in the Middle East will Stop, once Iran declares itself and having built its own Nu- clear Weap0n, just like Israel. It is just a matter of time and will happen within the next 10years.
Let us now see how Israel will now be attacking others with impunity.

BTW: The American Ambassador issue is not the same thing as Israel using Missiles to b0mb an Iranian Embassy and killing everyone inside. The Libya attack was done by Non-State Actors (Terrorists?, aggrieved members of the Public?) but the Iran Embassy attack was done by a Sovereign State (Israel). Apples Vs. Oranges.

It is America that is paying for the War Israel is fighting and by extension, all of us (Countries) that spends the Dollar, because America simply just prints more Paper-Dollars for us to buy/Exchange with our Sweat, Products and Natural Resources.
Just now, Biden has promised to send Arms worth another $1Billion to Israel, with a $3.2Billion one still pending for approval in the House.

Meanwhile, this Israeli attack is just a "Face-Saving Attack" meant to appease the Domestic Hardliners in Israel.
Note that it deliberately avoided the Isfhasan Nuclear facilities.
It did not kill a single Iranian Soldier.
It did not kill a single Iranian Civilian
It attacked weaker Countries (that America already destroyed and occupied) like Iraq and Syria.
It was done to ensure that Iran will not get annoyed and retaliate again but at the same time, Israel will be seen as having "attacked back", by the warmongers inside Netanyahu's cabinet and he himself will continue to remain in Office.
At least, they can both let us rest.

BTW, President Zelensky of Ukraine must be feeling very jealous and frustrated!
He is wondering why Ukraine is not getting al the Money and Weapons it needs from America, the same way Israel is getting it and so fast?
He was told that he should stop comparing Ukraine to Israel, one is an "ally" and "Tail, wagging the Dog", while the other is a "cannon fodder" and "a Pawn" in a Chess Game between Russia and NATO Countries, led by the US.

saphiere:
I think it's high time we realize that Nigeria will not get any better if the affairs of this country is not piloted by a woman.

Checkout our women basketball team, football team or is it our great women like Dr Mrs Ngozi and Late Mrs Dora?

I think we should drop pride and senseless ego and allow women to governor this country.

PS: Google the bridge constructed by Desmond Elliot and the one constructed by the female councilor.

Also Google the water project donated by Peter Obi and the one donated by Marvin music star, Ayra Starr

Women should also drop the whining and trying to steal what they are not qualified for (not all women but women like you who wants it for free) , using what is between their Legs and Chest.

Is Stella Ekeh not a woman, when she was made The Speaker of House of Reps and stole the whole place dry within a few Months?
The thing is, a Woman's Corruption can even be more than that of Men but Corruption has No Gender, it is in the mind and soul of the Criminals.

It is not the job of Lawmakers (NASS Members) to become CONTRACTORS, if not that the type of Democracy we run in Nigeria is bastardized and run by Criminals.

BTW, If Women want to govern Nigeria or become Govrnors, they have to do exactly the same thing that their menfolk do, to get to that Post... Come forward, Campaign, Convince, (even Bribe abd buy Votes) Contest and Win Elections.
Nobody is going to drop any Position on any Woman's Lap, just because she is a Woman, that will make Nonsense of "Women's Right, Equality and Feminism!" That is not what Women are teaching us.

Whatever a Man can do, a Woman can do better, no be so?

NzogbuNzogbu:
typing rubbish

Iran problem didn't start with sanction, it started in the 70,s during the era of violent islam

Go to YouTube and watch Iranians crying how much the ayatollah have wrecked their lives and economy by using resources to sponsor terror groups

If you had brain why would israel fight russia that isn't fighting it, israel has always been about self defence

You see why l called you a Dunce?
Every Country has always had one problem or the other, even Egypt, in the Bible.

Israel is an OCCUPIER (that is how anyone who occupies the territory of another, using Force, is defined).
Israel is an Apartheid State.
But it can only do so to "weak, defenseless people" like the Palestinians who have No Army, No Navy, No Airforce and are walled-in by the Gerrorist and Genocidal Israel Defense Force.
But dont woryy, the next time l hear people like you shouting IPOB or Biafra, l will remind you that what goes round, comes around.
It cannot even attack Iran, it is trying to push and prod the US to do so on its behalf.

NzogbuNzogbu:
muslims would have killed themselves finish if not for USA

Iran has external enimity with saudi, shite and Sunnis wahala and battle for superiority would have erased Middle East

It is USA presence that brought about negotiations and treaties if not these terrorists nations have no diplomacy just believe in wars.

To be relevant economically is why there is peace in Middle East and USA is the biggest propagator of striving economy

Habba!
Knowledge is really deficit in most Nigerians.
It was CHINA that brought about the reconciliation between Iran and Saudi Arabia. You people should at least read and fact-check what you want to post, before doing so.
America was infact shocked, that "the game" of divide and rule that it has been playing in the Middle East, (using it to weaken Israel's neighbors), has come to an End.
China, working with Russia, went further to smoothen relation between Syria's Assad and Turkey's Erdogan, etc.
China pointed out to all of them, who their real Enemy is, the one playing them against each other.

Moreso, the New, young King of Saudi Arabia, after being threatened by the American Biden Govt, knew that the gloves are off, between Saudi and America, which has always been a case of being "held hostage", by a Super Power.

NzogbuNzogbu:
zombie, it is the ayatollahs that crippled iran with islam

They were doing very well living in democracy before islam

Look at this dunce!
Iran is a very Rich, SIlamic Country, until America imposed Unilateral Sanctions on it!
As a matter of historical fact, Obama returned some of Iran's Money that America stole, using sanctions. Use Google and you will read about this.
And despite all the "Evil Sanctions" (just like they tried to use on Russia), Iran is still developing, because they are an advanced Civilization.
America has been trying, under Israeli control, to suppress the developments of all Countries in the middle East, so that Israel could be the DOMINANT Power in the middle East.

Let Israel try and attack Russia, if it thinks it is Powerful.
Using Fighter Jets, Armored Tanks, Drones, Missiles, to bomb ordinary Civilians, Children, Old Men and Women, Medics, UN Staff, bombing Hospitals, Churches and Mosques, under the pretext of killing Hamas Resistance Fighters, is a sign of COWARDICE.
Strong people dont attack the Weak.

greggng:



There so many things you don't know. A terrorist doesn't respect international boundaries ...thsts why the only thing they respect is force . Give them a taste of there medicine.....They have being lunching attack from there country and you trouble makers keep hailing them ....but when they are at the receiving end ...you start playing victim ...

Mr. Man, let me give you a free and quick fix!

I implore all of you ignorant people (and l dont mean that as an insult, just stating it as it is) to pick up Google and look at the Definition of TERRORISM.
Or just use the United nations Definition, that was certified by Western Countries, including America.
Then using such definition, appraise the Actions of some of these Countries you are defending.

That Definition will allow you to purge yourselves of the propaganda that you have been brainwashed with, to think that those defending their territory and resisting external occupation, are TERRORISTS or RESISTANCE FIGHTERS.

A lot of Nigerians are completely foolish and ignorant of the WHYs and WHATS, of this World, despite having access to the internet!.
Anyway, for People who cant even understand what is going on in Nigeria, how will they understand what is going on around the World?

Floky215:


How would you know when you reason through your anus and have an IQ leass than that of a cockroach..!!

All countries have one form of bases either military or civilian as the case maybe in other countries of the world depending on their mutual agreement and understanding..and those bases are considered to be the territory of the country who owns them...attacking such bases amount to the declaration of war....!!

Go to school and be educated, you people won't and be embarrassing yourself and other here...!!

This is not a motor park where your fellow tout don't know anything...!!

You are one of those "blissfully ignorant" people on Social media, who know NOTHING but go about exposing their ignorance, without a care!
If you had the smallest, 0.5% equivalent brain cell of a Millipede, you would have realized the SACARSM in the Poster you responded to.!

And please know, that there is a difference between what you stated, as bolded above, which is when a Host Country invites another Country, to come and host a (Military) Base in its Country.
That is a Voluntary decision and action by the Host Country, irrespective of the propriety or otherwise, of such invitation.
Germany INVITED and is hosting American bases, Philippines INVITED and is hosting American military Bases.
All these are VOLUNTARY.
A "funny-funny" example, is Nigeria selling a large chunk of its reclaimed Land at Eko Atlantic City, to America, ostensibly to host the "biggest America Embassy" in the whole World, on Nigerian, prime area soil. I wont delve into the stupidity of such Action, as it should be obvious to anyone with small sense but for dolts who still cant phatom what it means, consider this: America has an Embassy in Abuja and a former Embassy (now a Consulate) in Lagos. This Tow Facilities are more than enough to take care of any Emabassy Function they have, with Nigeria and the Abuja site can be expanded, if need be.
But what is sold to them in Lagos (by the "Landlord of Lagos" is to be used as a Military Base, while deceiving Nigerians that is it an Embassy!
Former Govts have refused to host American base in Nigeria (including AFRICOM), because they know such things end badly.
But that is a story for another day.

In the case of Iraq, just like Syria, they DID NOT INVITE America to come and setup Military Bases in their Country. That is the difference the Poster was making!
America INVADED these Countries and FORCEFULLY set up those military bases, after killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Citizens and imposing its will on the Country.
Meanwhile, as in Libya, Iraq and Syria, those Military Bases are there to protect American Companies who are forcefully exploiting/stealing the Crude Oil Resources of these "Victim Countries"..... and that is TER. R0RI. SM

So, RESSISTANCE to an Invasion or Occupation by foreign Invaders, is an OBLIGATION of every Patriotic Citizen.
If say Mali, invaded Nigeria and occupy our Land, l will have no choice, as a Patriotic Nigerian Citizen, volunteer in a Resistance Group to drive out the Invaders/Occupier.
If Nigeria has invaded Niger Republic, a few Months back when our President gave them an ultimatum, do you think Nigeriens (People of Niger republic), will not organize "Armed Resistance Groups", to drive us out of their Country?
Did ANC, led by the likes of Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Arch. Bishop Desmond Tutu, etc, not organize Armed Resistance groups" to drive out Apartheid Occupies led by the likes of Pieter Botha, out of South Africa.

These are some of the things that dumbf**c.ks like you dont understand!
Quoting you: "Go to school and be educated, you people won't and be embarrassing yourself and other here", fits and refers toyou 100%.

rotecch77:

The person you contacted is real if he truly used those items he mentioned, but let me expatiate it more.
Here is it.
Manual system is just setting up of the round cylinder drum ( fiber or stailess) and it will just take water from the raw water tank with the help of surface pump into the system and purified it then send it into the final tank for usage, any form of adding or dosing chemicals into this system as additional chemicals will be manual.

Now the automatic system with additional raw chemical tank with electric pump stirrer and chemical dosing pump and others fittings is semi automated one

The RO ( reverse osmosis) system is the final of all for pure drinking water, this will have all the above connection with RO machine coupled with MEMBRANE the nature of the water and number of users will determine the number of the membrane to be used.
This system also remove salt from water

Attached pics is the RO membrane

Maximum Respect Sir.
You have done Justice to it, beyond what any Teacher can do.
I appreciate you a lot .

Longest time Chief.
What you need is water treatment plant
It comes in fiber type and stainless type.
Nature of your water will depends on the type of chemicals to be used, although there are some popular chemicals we usually used for regular non clean water to make it consumables I.e chlorine, activated carbon, etc

See attached pics of the setup plant for a member here

THIS PLACE IS A LIBRARY OF KNOWLEDGE!
Thank you super-chief! With people like you still around, the house is in safe hands.

what is the difference between "manual and automatic" Sir?

We got a quote from someone on another forum and he listed Calcites, 13"Fiberglass, Filter HOUSING, dmi carbon, resin, sand, granite, etc and 4 membrane reverse osmosis machine and 1HP pumping machine.
He spoke about regular "backwashing" but could not explain it into detail, to my satisfaction.

Everything else looks like what you posted and l really appreciate the effort you have gone to, to shed light on this because this provides us with a good level of insight on the subject.

God bless you real good Sir.

good day experts, please see attached.

old project resurrected, there's no column in between the arcs of both flats. This has caused a tear in the wall.

what are possible solutions?

thanks

You might need to check the structural integrity of the whole building first.
Can you build on what you have on ground or do you have to pull it down and start fresh blocks?
This is very important.

Assuming what is on ground is still strong and the only problem, as you stated, is the Arches not having Pillars:
- You can chisel back "half length of the Block" on which those Arches rest on (provide Bamboo/Wooden support for the Arches before doing this so the dont fall down).

- Dig a bit into the Concrete Floor
- Put prepared Column Irons
- Encase the remaining art of the chiseled-back block (with the Column Iron placed across its face, touching the floor and the Arch resting on the top of the iron) on its three remaining sides.

That should provide you with the Column support needed to keep the Arches in place
- Introduce a rich mix of slurry Concrete into it, from the top.
- rebuild the Wall thereafter. You can also chain the Arches to the Lintel, to form a strong surround Structure that hold each other together and in place.

Caveat: I am not a Structural Engineer or builder, l am just an experienced Enthusiast and my Free Advice is provided "as it is".
For more professional Advice, kindly source a qualified Engineer.

I need a Referral from members of this family, for a friend who needs a Professional that can install a Water Purifier in his House.
The Color of the Water, l am told is[b] rusty brown[/b] because it contains iron/Ferrous.

Please, if you have a reliable link, kindly drop the Installers Number here, so l can pass it onwards.

LilMissFavvy:
What does she need an old man for? She would definitely find a younger husband easily. What she needs ate her kids, not easy for a woman to be separated from FOUR babies.

You mean THEIR Kids.
Any Child born in marriage, belongs to both spouses, she cant claim sole-ownership of the kids.
She can get supervised visiting time with their Children but has past behaviour and actiosn towards same Children, shows she is an irresponsible Mother, the type that wont take care fo the Children properly.
Moreover. she does not have the means to look after them, it makes more sense to allow the person with "the means" to House the Children and look after them properly, while the other spouses is giving Visiting periods.

But we all know what this her "l want my children, l want my children" is all about.

NGpatriot:
When the going was good, you were enjoying and punishing us with your love wan tin tin pictures with FFK, feeding each other, telling us how happy and in love you were, now that your marriage fell apart like millions of other marriages, you all of a sudden won to change the narratives.

Even the red range rover sef na FFK buy am, you said it with your own mouth, that was when FFK collected his share of Dasuki ATM and PDP looting and stealing funds budgeted for the welfare of our military men and women and weapons to fight boko haram..

You need to go and sit down somewhere abeg..

God bless you!
That woman is a spiteful, serial liar.
"No words convicts a wo(man), than his/her own words".

FFK just needs to dig up all the Social Media Post she had made in th epast, to convince the Court that she is a Liar and cannot be believed.

paramakina202:


She is fighting for her rights not fighting to go back to the the sexually deadbeat husband.

She lost her Right when she refused to mother and breast-feed the Children, to protect her Bweast, went bleeping around with different Men in Hotel Rooms.
"He who must come to Equity, must come with Clean hands".


Let her continue with that Army officer that she was caught by FFK, sleeping with in that Hotel.
FFK has nothing to offer her, except when she is cured of her mental illness (dem say na depression cause am, me l dont know sha), she could be allowed SUPERVISED, Visitation.

FFK must not allow the Woman to destroy the life of those innocent boys. he shoudl continue to take good care of them, as he has been doing till date.

sisisioge:
I believe her....older guys mostly have the ED issue to deal with. Besides, having the triplets lends credence to her claim of artificial insemination. I just pity the new girl in his life....she will soon hear it. Sometimes,true friendship and live cannot be over estimated in marriages biko.

And what was she looking at, before having Children for these "older men", that she did not remember that he has ED?
And why did she not say all these, when the going was good and she was using him to promote her business and doing snapchat all over the place?

Her eyes will soon clear, shey she is getting young, right?
When it is time to benefit from a man's Money, Women wont remeber his age but when he cant knack dem like a Stallion, they will remember his age!
What happened to all the young toasters she brushed-off, to marry an Old man?
Greed is what is killing all you these Women sha.

The new Girl in FFK's life, knows why she is there, we cant be using Panadol for another Woman's headache naw? When its her time, she will deal with it but for now, let her enjoy her life, biko

Just shut up if you lack what what to type! Go and ask your mother what it takes to breastfed a child talkless of triplets. she carried them for 9 months went through CS to born them. FFK sent her into depression after giving birth or you did not hear she had complications that nearly caused her life. God punishment on FFK is just starting.

Calm the feck down, Antee Craabaar!
Dont involve his Mother in this public discussion, even if the matter pain you rach that level, it just shows very bad upbringing or lack of one on your part.
You can put forward your own position, without behaving like Agbero, you hear.

BTW; Having complications at Child birth, is a Medical situation that any woman can have, especially with multiple-Child pregnancies, that has nothing to do with the husband, even if it made her feel despressed afterwards.
And that has nothing with the same woman going to do a quickie with other Men ina rented Hotel Room.
That is unbefitting of any married Woman.

IDENNAA:



Lol...IVF , maybe. By the way , FFK is past his prime and he is also not in shape. When you hit 50s your level of testosterone drops drastically, for most men. Precious, however, is in her prime and needs the love of a younger man , but long throat no gree her think...lol

Now, her intention is ot use the Children as ATM from FFK.
She obviously woudl ruin their Life as she has no maternal interest in their upbringing but like most Women, holding onto the Children is a guaranteed source of Free Money, from their father, for the next twenty years of thereabout.

Just imagine: if the Court tells her: We will let you have the Children but you have to bear their expenses by yourself and same goes for FFK, if he is to have the Children.
You would see that she, like most Women, will decline keeping the Children.
Its all about the Money and it ain't anything Funny.

FFK should keep his Children, continue using the Nannies and Nurses to take care of them, as till now and Chikwendu can go and continue her Asheewo-work, with her Man-friends who can last six hours, no be by force.

Don't suffer for anyone. You can stay for your kids, but once a partner is unable too perform sexually, it's best to take on a lover before someone gets killed. The frustration can cause someone to pick up a knife or a hammer.

I pray this woman gets access to her children.

You dont take on a Lover, while still married, that is a defilement of the marriage and such person is called A CHEAT..
What you do is DIVORCE the Spouse first and then you can do whatever you want with your life, afterwards.

“An order declaring that there was no customary marriage between the Petitioner and the respondent (despite their six-year cohabitation) under the Nanka, Orumba North, Anambra State of Igbo native law and customs.

“Alternatively, assuming by the evidence during trial the court finds that there was a customary marriage between parties:

“An order dissolving the customary marriage between the petitioner and the respondent forthwith.

What manner of foolish Lawyers advise their Client this way?

In Law, "You cant Probate and Reprobate at the same time"!

It is either you agree that you are married or you are not married, you cant ask the Court to "work" on both assumptions.

BTW, Marriage does not have to be by oen Method, even if you live together and have Children with each other, the Law assumes you are in akind of Marraige and will treat it as so!
if it is to collect Alimony, Women will treat such relationship as marriage but now that she wants to collect the Children, she is saying they are not husband and Wife. What foolery is that?

Moreover, if the Children were by Insemination, the Questions that arise are:

1) Whose Sperm was used? If it is FFK's Sperm, he remains their Lawful father

2) Who arraigned and paid for the insemination and on what grounds? if it was FFK that arraigned and paid for it, on the grounds of fathering Children with the Petitioner, he remains the Lawful Father fo the Children, and she, their Mother.

This Woman has forgotten that FFK has other Children, before 'marrying' her and non of his former Wives has claimed he was impotent.
The same Woman while still married, was caught by FFK, when she went to sleep with one Army Officer in a Hotel and we all saw the video, so what moral ground does she even think she is standing on?

A competent Court of Law has granted Custody of the Children to FFK and allowed her visitation Rights, due to her history of "mental illness and immoral behaviour" so all these attempt as image-damaging will only lead her to jail becaus el am sure FFK will sue her to Court again, for such Acts.
Next thing, she and her supporters will be saying "How can you want the Mother of yur Children to go to Jail" but they wont call her to Order right now, that she is running her Mouth and damaging his image publicly.

Lagos people, come and hear this one o!

To end the menace of land grabbing in Lagos, I ordered a complete excision on untitled land across the State today.

This directive represents a major turning point in land administration for our state, as the exercise would enable the State Government carry out documented delineation on communal land and land owned by families.

I gave this order at the Lagos Real Estate Market Place Conference and Exhilarations organised by the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA). The two-day event with the theme: “Lagos: 21st Century Real Estate Investment Hub”, is the second edition to be held by the agency.

A technical committee will be set up to fine-tune the framework for the excision process on untitled land, with the objective to granting Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) to land owners for transparent sales of the asset.

I am not unaware of efforts by unscrupulous State officials to frustrate and sabotage the full take-off of the State’s Enterprise Geographic Information System (e-GIS) project initiated to automate approval of land surveys and allocation titles. Let me issue a stern warning; our administration will be ruthless in purging out saboteurs within the system.

Let me also add that by next year a new policy of monthly tenancy on property occupancy would kick off in Lagos. The concept is not to disenfranchise the landlord or reduce the expected revenue of the property.

It is our well considered position that monthly tenancy would ease off pressure on tenants, as the new policy is designed to make people pay their rents according to their monthly earnings.`

My Thoughts:
1) What has Excision of Undocumented/Untitled (but owned) land, got to do with helping Community and Family land owners?
Govt is seriously looking for Money and l am wondering if this is to force owners of such land to come forward and apply for C-of-O, which currently costs much more than the land itself.

2) Collecting Rent Annually, it is serious wahala for some House Owners, imagine now that they have to go and ask for it, every Month End?
Even the Govt is not collecting Monthly Rent in its own built Houses, they just sel it outright.

Anyone who cannot regularly pay an annual Rent (where he has a whole year to plan for the next rent!) will certainly not be able to pay regularly, if asked to pay monthly, especially for Traders/Business People whose cash-flow is unpredictable.

How exactly does a parent bully his children. You mean if I flog my child that's bullying?

I really think some of you guys are taking this thing too far.

Let us reason the matter together, Bro.

Flogging or other forms of Corporal punishment, are not bullying in themselves, the problem arises from the MOTIVE and EXTENT of doing so.

- What is your "Motive" for flogging your Child?
Is it to CORRECT him as per a repeated wrong doing or is it to INFLICT PAIN on him?
Do you know that some people enjoy and take a lot of pleasure (some, even unknowingly!) in inflicting Pain on others, even on thei rown Children?

- Does the Parent have an idea of how much flogging is ENOUGH for a Child (Extent), depending on the age?

Do you know that some Parents, maybe due to Anger and lack of Self Control, once they get into the "flogging mode", they wont stop until someone stops them or until they get tired?
How do you explain a father flogging a Child to death? His own Child o!
How do you explain a Mother putting Pepper inside the Vagina of her own daughter?

It is these extremes that are classified as Bullying and Child abuse.

I have flogged my Sons and my youngest Son has only been flogged Once in his Life time (he is a teenager right now) but since then, just showing him my "Red Eye" or Growling at him when he misbehaves, is enough to make him adjust.

It is important for Parents to know the steps involved in using Corporal Punishment, despite the State Laws disallowing it.
1) Flogging or other forms of Corporal Punishment should only be administered as a "last resort". That is, after every manner of verbal entrities and Counselling has failed.

2) before flogging, have a one-on-one talk with such Child and explain to him/her, why you have No Choice than to resort to Floggin or other serious forms of Punishment,. Cite examples of how you have repeatedly tried to make the Child behave properly or obey instructions and how he/she has been obstinate.

3)Tell the Child how much Cane, he or she would be entitled to and stick with that number. If it is a Punishment, tell him/her how long it will last. Prepare the Child's Mind.

4) Administer the punishment (Flogging, Punishment) with love and not in anger. The "talk period" in #2 and #3 above is also to give you time, to overcome your initial Anger at the Child and gain Control over your Emotions. Most Parents "lose it", when they are angry with a Child and want to flog with Anger! Not good at all, we are too strong for a Child, to flog them with Anger.

5) After the Flogging or punishment cycle, tell the Child to frshen up immediately and then have a reconciliation talk with him/her.
You see, Children are not like adults, they dont usually hold grudges for too long so, it is important you reconclie with your Child by letting him/her know that flogging /punishing him/her is also painful to you and you feel the pain and will not want it to occur again.
That alone, will melt a Child's heart (well, a well-raised Child sha), to hear that the Parent is not happy flogging or punishing them.
Finally, Cuddle or embrace yoru Child and repeatedly tell him/her: I love you, you hear? I love you very much and lwant you to turn out well, Dont do so again, you hear?

But compare the above with a Parent who flogs and flogs until a Child passes-out or all the Back turn out like a badly made Ankara, with all manners of designs or uses Electric Wire to flog a 7yr old and flog strongly with Anger? Hwo does that show "Correction" or Love?
That is what we term "Child abuse". You are abusing the fraility and helplessness of such Child.
Will you flog your muscular 21yr Old Child that much and not expect 'a reaction', even if it is just to use his elbow to target your hand and cause you injuriy?

So, flogging a Child is not Abuse but doing so in excess is an abuse.
Parents need to be trained to understand when they are crossing the line.

Ofcourse, l am an advocate of "Spare the rod, and spoil the child". there are times when you need to flog a Child, if he/she wants to prove stubborn and obstinate.
