But dont you understand my explanation since. The basis is the country combines Muslims, christian and other religion. Muslims have the one they go out before even before Law school started. should they inconvienient themselves or face the wrath of their creator because they want to go to school? until you guys understand Hijab is part of our sisters' dressing, Muslim sisters without hijab is like a body without head. We are not competing religion as for the Hijab wearing as many think. but they are not complete as human being without the hijab. pls try and understand that and the fact they dont force you people to cover your head or not wearing on your head should not cause any problem at all my friend. Let us tolerate one another pls! we own this country together. To reiterate, Our Hijab is like head on the body, without it, they are not completed. Thanks

I used to have this belief until recent. I was/am shortsighted, and thus, couldn't see from far but wasn't using glasses because I believed it would make my sight deteriorate. Besides, most young people using glasses often look like nerds.
I started using glasses a few months ago and it was such a great decision.
People should be educated on this point of yours.

donwhizkid:
Until we change our ideology about glasses, the better for us..

I wish to correct an Impression here, USING PRESCRIBED GLASSES DOES NOT MEAN U R BLIND OR U CAN NOT SEE. The glasses are there to augument ur vision and not to deteriorate it..

A man with prescribed glasses, sees better than a man without glasses whose ocular conditions are same.

xreal:
You have answered the question you asked.

If all the drivers and riders are mandated to conduct eye test, glasses will be recommended to a very large percentage.

Most of them hardly do lots of reading, hence they see no need for the test and no reason to get a glasses.

If I see okada wey dey use glasses...I no go climb am at allll.

Bloodbath in Enugu as Fulani herdsmen kill 40

NSUKKA—About 40 persons have so far been reportedly killed by some Fulani herdsmen at Nimbo in Uzo- Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, sources told Vanguard at Nsukka Police Area Command, near the area yesterday. The incident took place barely 24 hours after stories filtered out that no fewer than 500 heavily-armed Fulani herdsmen sneaked into the community preparatory to launch an attack. About seven villages in Nimbo (Nimbo Ngwoko, Ugwuijoro, Ekwuru, Ebor, Enugu Nimbo, Umuome and Ugwuachara) were among the areas attacked. Ten residential houses and a church, Christ Holy Church International, aka Odozi Obodo, were also said to have been burnt by the herdsmen just as vehicles and motorcycles were destroed and domestic animals killed.

Weda we like am or not, e de affect us too no matter how much we make , pple around that are hungry and jobless will always deplete our fund cos u can't watch dem die of hunger and lack whilst u feed fine

KORLAR:
How does one just "discard" a religious practice?
From all the information I've gotten on this hijab issue, no mention of her not using it in law school, I'd like to know where you got your information.
And BTW, even if she wasn't using it in law school(which I doubt) and chooses to use it on the day she's to be called to the bar, its still part of her right to practise her religion.

In conclusion, to the best of my knowledge, there's no law that stops a hijabite from being called to the bar. The irony is the wearing of the hijab has the backing of the constitution which advocates freedom of conscience, thought and practice of religion.

I stand to be corrected.

Lukgaf:
As a sign of maturity, I won't abuse you like you have done but if truly you have sense as u claimed you will see there is injustice on the part of Muslims sister banning Hijab wearing to the call to bar in the first instance. Do they believe only Christian will practice law? But your hatred will not let you see it was wrong. #dont be hypocrites

Strong indications have emerged that the recent protest by the Ikeja branch of Nigerian Bar Association was politically motivated.
This is because of recent findings that link major actors of the protest to the national legal adviser of APC, Dr. Muiz Banire who funded their activities with loads of money to print t-shirts, posters, fliers e.t.c and oil the pockets of the executives.
Investigations have revealed that the association was allegedly hijacked by supporters of the National Legal Adviser who has been in a running battle with his mentor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the leadership of the APC in Lagos state.
Those in the know say many known supporters of the embittered legal Adviser were spotted in the recent march actively participating under the disguise of protesting against the Land Use Charge.
In another development, the lawyer protesters who have been severally linked as sympathizers of a former governor in Lagos State boasted that their agenda is to dent Amode’s image and popularity under the smokescreen of populist fight against the amended law of land use charge by making Lagos ungovernable for Ambode.
It would be recalled that in a rather display of comedy of errors, some group of lawyers, from Ikeja Branch,out of the five branches in Lagos State marched from Ikeja Roundabout to the Lagos State House of Assembly to protest the review of the state’s Land Use Charge (LUC) on Tuesday 13thMarch 2018.While is their democratic right to express their concerns or grievances on any policy, it is shameful when such agitation is jaundiced with political machinations and mischief.
Interestingly and in a curious twist of events, these ‘champions’ have been shown to be tax evaders, or at best have been grossly under-paying for their properties. This has been revealed in an exclusive document obtained from the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS). For instance, the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja Branch, Barrister Adesina Ademola, Ogunlana, who led the protest pays a paltry pay-as-you-earn tax of N5,000 per annum. Same goes for the vice-chairman,Carol Ibharuneafe who also pays N5,000 annually as tax. More shocking is the revelation that the likes of the NBA Branch Secretary,Muna Esegine, the Treasurer, Coco-Bassey Thelma, the Social Secretary, Jemerigbe Eyinmofe and the Welfare Officer, Tanimowo Oluranti were not paying taxes as at 2009 as revealed by the same exclusive document! Others who paid taxes that cannot equate to liveable status are the Assistant Secretary, Adedokun Issa Akanji (N1,250), and the Publicity Secretary, Akinwale Ajibola (N15,000).
This sad and sordid scenario throws up some burning questions. Do these gentlemen of the bar stand on any high moral ground to hold protests against a government that means well for the good people of Lagos State? NO!
Truth be told, tax payment is an internationally agreed sustainable source of revenue generation. Anyone that does not support it certainly does not mean well for the state in particular, and Nigeria at large.

NotComplaining:
If Tinubu was paying property tax for all of his illicit properties and appropriations he'd be the poorest man in Lagos.

Lagos is for all, not just for the supper rich to be capping the wealth of the middle class.

maclatunji:
I think Estate Surveyors and Valuers are fighting to be the ones to do it.

We Nigerians are too lazy when it comes to governance, we expect everything on a platter. This law should never have been passed in this form if many of the people posing as 'enlightened opinion leaders' actually know their left from their right.

Amsterdam is below sea level and they have a network of Dykes, barriers and DAMs yet Amsterdam still gets its fair share of flooding.

Recently the UK got seriously flooded even with its vast network of canals.

The problem is trust, we don’t believe we will get value for the money we pay. But, I think the govt has demonstrated in practical terms it’s motive to take Lagos to the next stage of development to do that you need money and property tax is one of the ways developed countries generate revenue.

From my calculation if the average property in Lagos is valued at 25m. Then the annual tax due will be about 11,000/annum. Less than 1k/month

Does the hijab stop her from being a good lawyer?

The West that mandated us to use the wig have long gone past it and call people that wear hijab to the bar.

We just like to make a mountain of a molehill.

Lukgaf:
I can now see something is wrong with you sir. If you speak to your brain if truly you are educated and mature like you proclaim you will see and understand that Nigeria is not the only country practising law, why is Hijab allowed in other country Law school even with less Muslim population. But the hatred you have on Islam will not allow you to say the truth. Are they not Nigerian? Is it not thier right to wear what they like or do any profession they like with their way of religion. I am so disappointed in you and some others who because of Islam hatred can not say the truth.

ariesbull:
Telhe problem with Yoruba is that they lack the competition zeal they want everything to be handed down....well who cares

I would look at school that want brilliance not some local clanish school

Very clanish folks

Lukgaf:
Honestly u are saying what is smelling sir. But you are graduate now. Y sud Hijab be banned in a law school in the first instance when it is right of some citizens. Pls let us talk to our brain now, is it only Nigeria practising law? And will Hijab makes her not to be a good lawyer. Because I don't understand this country walai. You tell soldiers to safe their beard when you know some religions will prefer to leave it whereas it is not like that the beard will not allow them to shoot. Why won't just for once say truth even if it is bitter bro

udi4eva:
If you say "for lagos state,it is" wrt my post,then you mean that land reclamation is actually the least of the problem..But I think you are trying to say the opposite. Well you may say the state needs more land hence you support the reclamation.
But do you know that people somewhere in this same world you and I live in, work in Sweden and live in Denmark and vice versa, to name a few? All they need to do is either board a train or drive and cross. My point is, instead of reclaiming lands which will pose a hazard due to our poor maintenance culture, why not make good roads, train system available so peeps can come from other state and work in lagos and still go back without hitch.
Those countries doing land reclamation have exploited all possible safer options before going ahead. But we? No!! We just want to be like them.
Like I said, I am not against the reclamation, but we need to do the basics first.
What do I know anyways?

AutoJoshNIG:
Have you traveled by the Oworonshoki end of the Third Mainland Bridge lately?

Ever wondered about what is going on at the Oworoshoki waterfront?

Indeed, anyone that has passed through that part of Lagos would have noticed an enormous “sand filling” – or land reclamation work – going on there.

Once-upon-a-time, not-too-long-ago, that spot used to be a beehive of illegal dredging activities in Lagos.

So, after sand-filling the waterfront, whats next?

Well, here is whats next.

The Lagos State Government is working to transform the Oworonshoki Waterfront into one of the biggest transportation, tourism and entertainment hubs in Nigeria.

Yes. An elegant Mega Ferry and Bus terminus is about to be built at that once blighted location.

And that’s not all.

The Mega Jetty and Bus terminal will have other entertainment and Tourism facilities like multiple Boutique, hotels, museums/art galleries, sport and recreational facilities as well as a 1000 capacity car park, based on the design master plan of the area.

Upon completion, Lagosians would be able to embark on travel from Oworonshoki either via water, using the Jetty Terminal or via Ultra-Modern Buses departing from the New Bus Terminal.

This project is part of a grand design by the Lagos state government to reduce human and vehicular traffic gridlocks on the roads connecting the Island, Apapa and other parts of the Mainland.

Clearly, Ambode is not joking!

The taxman can raise any assessment he deems reasonable within the ambit of the law but is left for the taxpayer to prove otherwise.get an accredited estate valuer to do an actual valuation and write back to the tax authorities demanding amendment and pay what you deem fair based on the new valuation.

If you do not respond and you are taken to the tax tribunal,publishing your objection on social media is not defence.

And note that as the case progressess through the law courts,a bond of the amount in dispute would be demanded from you.object today and leave social media alone.

Oga ur living in a Yoruba estate. .

Igbo populace surpasses that of Yoruba in Lagos.

Same goes with wealth.

Everyone sane person who has lived in Lagos for at least 10 years knows this.

Thats why Ambode has been doing anything possible to restrict the Igbos. He has even created laws to prevent Igbos from gaining admission in Lagos state higher institutions (which is long dead before arrival).

Ambode created laws to make teaching n learning of Yoruba language compulsory in Lagos secondary schools, he also made laws legalizing the speaking of Yoruba language in Lagos state house of assembly (because igbos won seats there).

Even Fashola deported igbos.

Even after Ambode n tinubu finished rigging Lagos state governorship election results, The result was still too close.

U can remain blind to it till further notice.

This is an issue of right to practice one's religion.

Why do you trivialise it?

FabioPeter:
589,300,000 - 0.4(589,300,000) = N353,580,000

.076% of 353,580,000 = N268,720.80 if its occupied by owner

.76% of 353,580,000 = N 2,687,208.00 if rented

This charge may be considered fair if the money is properly appropriated. in residential areas like this you pay around 10k monthly security, cost of running your gen about 40k/month, water/borehole and other sundry cost all amounting to over N600,000/Annum as against N268,720/Annum.

If the government guarantees good roads, security, electricity and water. this property tax is worth every penny. Communities should engage government via town hall meetings, make their demands and extract government commitment. We got to be pounds wise.


*What I find irrational is the % cost disparity between apartment rented out and that occupied by owner.

In all fully developed and developing areas of Lagos, Igbos have more real estate than Yorubas.

Of course you deflect once again from the question, shows you are just a hypocrite and a very unintelligent one at that. If your version of historical truth is what you will carry to your grave, then please don't pass that seed of ignorance to your children, rather let them read and have an unbiased perspective of their nations history.. Have a good life.

Bane2020:
Now I'm justified when I call called you a dyslexic... You are obviously without mincing reality devious with the truth, however spurious and hackneyed your theories are, but I'll overlook your ignorance and all the balderdash you just typed and ask you again...against the backdrop of one of the worst pogroms in black history been meted out to your people, and you were in the shoes of Ojukwu, what and what would you have done any differently? note that you just wanted the mandate of your people to chart the course of their own destiny, without declaring war on the rest of Nigeria... but somehow shots were fired on your people FIRST by your aggressors, so on a passive-aggressive indices, what then would you have done? Please answer the question as honestly and cognitively as you can, cause I hate people who just revision history to suit their their diabolical interest.

Bane2020:
STFU you dyslexic slowpoke, so all the Igbos brutally massacred all over Nigeria was a fair "rationale" for them to opt out? Are you so daft or just plain insensitive to have ignored the immediate causes for secession? And if you must know Ojukwu DID NOT UNILATERALLY declare Biafra, he consulted with the Eastern constituents at the time and as a matter of principle got the mandate of the people to pull out of Nigeria, every Igbo and non-governmental in the East in the early stages of the bid for secession WANTED OUT. Ojukwu wasn't prepared for war and was only hyperbolic on his expressions and statements about the Biafran readiness for a armed conflict just to delay or avoid any war with the Nigerian side... Ojukwu wasn't the one that fired the first shots of war, Nigeria did in July 7, 1967 at the Biafran border towns of Garkem and Ogoja.

So don't come here and try "enlighten' about the remote and immediate causes of war, with your outlandish claims that Ojukwu led his people to a war that your dumb ass self forgot to understand why he did so in the first place, if you were in Ojukwus shoes, what would you have done?

And for the records, Brigadier Ogundipe wasn't the only officer senior in rank to Gowon...there were others like Brigadiers' Effiong, Imo, Colonel Adebayo and a host of other senior officers I can't remember, pick up a book and read.
