GenBuhari:
Has it been confirmed, that she is in the team?

If so, then she is undoubtedly the favourite.

GenBuhari:
You are right that Williams has world leading time , but she would not be at the championships she false started at the Jamaican national trials so she has not been included in Jamaican team for these championships.

GenBuhari:
Event preview: Women's 100m hurdle

Top 3 season best of performers who would be at the championships are:
Janeek Brown. (JAM) : 12.40

Kendra Harrison (USA): 12.43

Tobi Amusan. (NGR) : 12.49

Harrison is also world record holder.

2013 World champion & reigning Olympic champion Brianna McNeal (USA) is also in the event, but is not running as well as she usually does going into these championships with season's best of 12.61.

Tobi's form coming into these championships and her ability to raise her performance on big occasions, is what I believe makes her amongst the favourites to win the gold medal.

Haha, I can name more. Women enjoy something I describe as status-by-association. For example, special recognitions are given to the wife of men of high status, e.g Presidents (first lady), Kings (queen), etc. Men generally will not be recognized if their wife is of high status.

Furthermore, feminist are not fighting for equal-of-opportunity, but equality-of-outcome, something that is an impractical impossibility. Their reasoning goes like this. If there are more male CEO than female, then it is oppression and patriarchy, while completely ignoring the fact that perhaps, the reason why there are fewer female CEO is also the reason why there are fewer female truck drivers, miners, and construction workers? Many of the loud-mouthed feminist I know personally studied courses that are low paid, such as liberal arts, philosophy, international relations etc, but somehow, it is the fault of patriarchy that they are paid less compared to men who indulge in STEM mostly, and a high paying career.

Most importantly, this invinscible ''glass ceiling'' that they yap about is the very thing that makes men attractive to them. Women find succesful men attractive, and by nature, will not go for men lesser than them in the economical rung. And as statistic has shown, that since the inception of feminism, women happiness are steadily on the decline. They keep shooting themselves in the foot with third-wave feminism, but all it brings is chaos and more suffering to them. In the west, marriage is becoming a thing of the past, and men that actually want marriage do travel to third world countries that have not been affected by radical feminism to find a wife. Both genders are reaching a point of incompatibility.

I myself condemned the act of chimamanda on Hillary and Beyonce. I personally love to do chores in my own home,I love to cook and cater for my home ,I don't enforce it on anyone.

The tone of this your post seems you are belittling the Nigerian women choice to fight for feminism only in mudane things and imply you feminists over there are fighting for a better cause..
The average nigerian lady isn't interested in politics and doesn't care much about earning equally with men. A naija girl's fufiled life is marriage and keeping her home , thus you shouldn't be surprised at the low energy they Invest in fighting for equal pays et Al...what's the cause of all this? Still stereotype! Sometimes fighting this stereotype of ladies only useful in marriage may be interpreted as overruling them of their choice to be house wives or not.
Advising a lady(not shaming) to pursue her career and her dreams doesn't mean one is stopping her from doing their choice. Alot of ladies need motivation

Michellekabod2:

The fact I disagree with you doesn't mean I have let misogynists come into my head. I live confidently in a world of my own free from misogynists or hypocritical girls!
If you a defining feminism based on only socio-political aspect that means you disagree with chimamanda adichie that spoke on "mudane" matters....the fact is feminism can't be achieved if stereotype are not taken off.
Stoping things like shaming of female non virgins, female consumers of alcohol et Al is not the aim of feminism?

This "choice" you keep on echoing, can't bring about equality of both genders! So people have the choice to misogynists or to practice patriarchy? No one is enforcing any modus operandi on a feminist but there are choices you make your own self that makes you less equal to a man. And when such issues occur and you still want to define such act as feminism people like you will say it's a choice still. For example,if a feminist believes that a female is to do all the house chores,that isn't equality, but you liberalchick will still claim that is a matter of choice for a female to uphold such stereotype and thus is still a feminist.

Do kindly research on feminism and how it is practiced in other parts of the world. Check up Solomon Buchi posts on feminism and if you know of sites that enlighten more on feminism kindly refer me to such as no one is an island....
Lots of love to you!

A lot of comments borne out of ignorance and the inability of people to read and comprehend before writing silly comments.

Busola filed a civil complaint. A civil complaint can be filed even though the case is still under investigation. The police can then file a criminal charge against him if they feel has a case to answer.

It can happen that he is found not guilty in the criminal charge but guilty in the civil case. In criminal charges, punishment would be Jail term, fines or even death penalty while civil cases only end with payment of damages by the guilty party. In this circumstance Busola has asked for an apology and for the man to pay the legal costs. Perfectly normal!

It can happen that Biodun wins the criminal case but loses the civil case. This happened with OJ Simpson, he was never found guilty of murder but he lost the civil case and paid damages to the family.

Na from the small law when I do for 500 level engineering that i Dey write o.

what is her gofundme account for?

atonement12:
...and if she looses the civil suit, who carries the burden of the lawyers 10 million naira fee?

niaralandtopuser:

the judge will either strike out the case or adjourn till there is a judgement on the pending criminal case

chronique:
How about the tendering an apology to her and publicising it in several major dailies for two weeks? So, you sue a person to court and even before the case comes up for hearing, you are already praying the court to grant you prejudicial reliefs? Where does the defendant get to defend himself and have the right to fair hearing since you are asking him to apologize to you and pay for your legal fees even before the case is called for you to open your case and for him to open his defense? I'm not a lawyer but this case looks like child's play and it looks dead on arrival.

Someone granted an interview about Neymar and added emotions to it, but later found to be false. Timi himself wasn't there and hadn't known her when the alleged happened. So, he himself shouldn't believe everything that was said.
I know of a man in the US who saw a teenager with a flat tyre, he stopped and changed the tyre for her. Just because of hating blacks, she raised a rape alarm. She was crying uncontrollably while narrating the harassment.
The streets camera was the man's saving grace.

Ijawwomaninoyo:


Were you there?

niaralandtopuser:

I am telling you this is not how it works. if you are a judge how will you decide this civil suit? will you compel Mr coza to meet her demands when you know the main criminal case is pending?

niaralandtopuser:

how is her emotional trauma supposed to be the fault of Mr coza who is not guilty? allow the case to pass through the right process. why the rush?

MobilityExpress:


Rape is a criminal case. This is not sexual assault or smooching or fo.ndling or attempted rape. She claims there was penetration, multiple times sef.

babyfaceafrica:
those maids are illiterates?. bussy is not

niaralandtopuser:

wait for the investigation and criminal case to run it course before seeking for compensation. you can't get compensation when there is no judgement. no one is guilty yet

seborrhic:

That doesn't answer the question:
How can a girl that is not mentally challenged be raped,TWICE,in HER PARENTS HOUSE?

niaralandtopuser:

[b]what damages were done? t[/b]he criminal case should come first then later a civil suit should be filed demanding whatever compensation.

based on what judgement is she seeking compensation?

will you seek compensation when no one has been declared guilty?

seborrhic:
I have always maintained that Dakolo had consensual sex with Pastor Fatoyinbo.
How can someone rape u twice in your father's house and you didn't inform your family members?She is that type of girl that got fascinated with sex at a very young age due to poor parental upbringing.
Though I also believe without a shadow of doubt that Fatoyinbo is a scam of a pastor.
He is more of motivational speaker for the kinds of poor souls he can motivate anyway.But calling him a pastor just summarises the scan that is pastorship in Nigeria.

niaralandtopuser:

rape is a criminal case Mr lawyer
you haven't filed criminal case against the accuse but you are already filing civil suit? why is she demanding and apology and compensation?

MobilityExpress:


The case is in court, or will be put forward to the court. Therefore, an accuser, through her counsel or lawyers can explicitly demand at the setup of the court case that all legal fees she will expend on the case will be borne by the accused if the court finds the accused guilty. In lay man's terms, it means Busola Dakolo has paid her lawyers 10m or has reached an agreement of 10m with her lawyers as the cost of handling her case in court. And if Coza pastor is later judged guilty at the conclusion of the case, not only will he serve whatever punishment the judge gives but he will be required to also pay 10m litigation fees back to his accuser who won the case. You get it now?

niaralandtopuser:

when investigation is still ongoing?

budaatum:

I'd agree with you except for the assumed right to be pigs that I personally do want to take away from men. I'd over compensate to chop it off if I could even if they hid it in their pants.

Michellekabod2:

Sorry you have missed the point of feminism which is gender equality by thwarting the definition to be pro-women,that makes you worse than sexists! Feminism isn't pro-women but pro-equality of both genders. Many so called "feminists" do nothing but cry foul about injustice meted on females and always talk of females rights! As we continue to have feminists that uphold your definition the word feminism will remain a joke to the ears,and seen as a movement of bitter women.
If in the list I put up,I touched areas ONLY related to improvement the female rights ,you wouldn't type what you typed but applaud me.
While ladies should have choices on whether a man should pay the bills or not why do females cry foul when a men chooses that the lady does all the domestic chores? Isn't he entitled to a "choice" as well?

sinaj:
You wont be allowed to leave the country with the child immediately for at least 1year coz you would be under watch

sinaj:
you have to be above 40years, if you are below 40, you must present a genuine reason like health issue with recognised hospital report, having grown up kids and other serious issues.

You will present Bank reports, and your account balance has to be healthy

You will submit your passports, the originals but it will be returned back to you.

You must have properties too, like a land or house.

Lastly you will need referees, civil servants from level 10 and above.

You will swear afidavits too.

I hope this will help you.
