In Scotland the only people that voted in referendum are those requesting right to self determination.

The rest of UK did not vote with the scots.

Scotland is a country, a self governoring entity with its own constitution and National representatives...Also, UK is not a country, it is a mere union of countries to which Scotland is a member.

UK has no say in determining or voting in a referendum that affects the decision whether Scotland remains in UK as much as the other African Countries has no say in a vote or referendum that affects if Nigeria remains in AU or not.

ihatesycophant:
But always remember they sought proper permission before carryout this protest but in our own clime people just wake up and carry placard and poster to go protest. That's the difference.

Do you know how Permit requests that Nigeria Police turn down everyday?

It is easier to pass through the eyes of a needle than to get a Police permit in Nigeria to prostest against the current government...don't get me wrong, they will give you permit to prostest against the past government or protest in support of the current government.

We wish u quick recovery!!
Too sad dat great leaders dont get the chance to rule properly..
Its either dey Die late Ya'adua and now PMB..

I thought they said he is hale and hearty, why wish him 'quick recovery'?

teemy:
all that is needed is for the police to run a poll on its website or alt service to know the true state of public opinion of the citizens. this should solve the back and forth

Just like their response above, they will call the results of such polls as 'hearsay' and that if you want to hear the 'real true' report, consult the Police image maker or PR department.

Judyvin:
answer to question 3 is (a) as only 14 is the even number . while the answer of question 9 is (b) as in numeric table, 0 stands for ten while 00 stands for hundred

No matter how you want to slice it, these questions are incomplete and cannot be accurately answered.

Question 3:
Just as 14 is the only even number, 17 is the only odd, which is which?

Question 9:
Log10 equals 1 also, which one is correct?

Some men can't control themselves
Just imagine

I think this one is beyond the issue of control...they are remoting this guy from the village.

If those village witches take your matter hold meeting, forget control oh....if you not get God for side, dem go finish you bi that.

This shows the ignorance and stupidity of the so called Biafra agitators.

I was following you until you lost me on putting the ignorance and stupidity on the Biafra agitators...I truly think that, it is right to conclude here that, the federal government and our so call leaders are the ignorant and fools here.

The federal government is showing weakness in addressing this issue. When BK started, almost everyone laughed them off, but now they are a torn on the flesh of the same people who belittled them.

Now Kanu has started assembling youths and giving them a battle cry and something to rally around, they are small, untrained, fragile today, but don't think this is their only step.

The federal government should not make the mistake of thinking that, should Biafra breaks off, the power of our military will dispel them...the government cannot afford to open two simultaneous wars; one against Biafra and another against BK, plus the West + North alliance that defeated Biafra in the 60s is weaker today, with some Western group already clamoring for separation.

This thing should be taken seriously and should done now, before it snowballed out of proportion.

I doubt if they are Policemen:; a police can not be that foolish and stupid at the same time; to blatantly request you give them money through a traceable method.

They must be Police impersonators and very amateur ones at that.

How can I unseen this, please?

I wish there is a time machine, so I can go back in time...just 5 seconds reverse is all am asking for.

Nigeria is the only country a kidnapper will have the right to sue...........

Not true, terrorists kept in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba sues the US government all the time in US court and sometimes they win, sometimes they lost.

Anyone charged with any offense even if red-handed and it does not matter if that individual confesses or not; he/she is assumed innocent until proven otherwise in a law court or the facts of their confession and content are fully adjudicated in the law court and as such, they have right like everyone else to sue and be sued.

oluwayimika123:
And I'm looking at everybody saying he shld b rewarded.
Whether he had called d attention of Diamond bank to d money or not dey will definitely find out and d money will definitely b retrieved from his acct without his consent.
If he even tries to prove smart by withdrawing d whole money from his acct at once b4 dey find out and he gets away with it restrictions will b placed on his acct and he won't b able to use d acct again. Somebody may b saying he will abandon d acct Buh don't worry with d help of BVN, DAT can b extended to his oda accts with other banks and he will definitely b caught 1 day. Only if he is going to leave the shores of this country DAT is wen he can get away with d money.

No doubt, the teller DAT posted made a big mistake and he calling out d attention of Diamond bank to it is a laudable thing.

I will let it sit in the account and accrue interest, by the time they came around to reverse it, which will be after the sender had discovered they made a mistake, report to diamond bank and diamond starts and concludes their investigation...my interest would have been a lot and they can then take back their initial deposit.

Exciton:
So, let's say an IPO wants to completely fvck someone up and doesn't present the case to the court for like a year or 10 years, is this acceptable? In essence, what's the max number of days (or centuries ) that police can lawfully hold a person without charges?

It seems Nigerian laws are solely designed to maintain the power and tyranny of a few over the rest.

The police have 48hrs to charge someone to court or they must release the person, unless they have a valid court order to hold that individual beyond 48hrs.

The instant case is different, the police has already charge this guy to court, however the mere fact that one has been charged to court means little in terms of guilt as the police/IPO have to prove their case beyond any reasonable doubt.

But, before the time for the IPO to prove their case, the court have to take care of some procedural items like bail for the accused. During bail hearing, the IPO cannot present their case or their evidence...all the judge know about the case at this time is that...Mr abc is charged with xyz. The judge does not know the true facts of the case or the actual actions the accused took for which he/she was brought to court...the IPO has to present all these when the trial begins...but if the accuse have a lawyer or if he/she is learned and want to represent him/herself pro-se, he/she can move a motion at the pre-trial hearing for the case to be dismissed...if the Judge agrees to hear the motion, this forces the IPO to present the facts of their case i.e. why is impregnating someone means negligence? It is at this point that the Judge can throw away the case and set the accused free.

However, if the accused does not have a lawyer and he/she is not learned enough to file a pro-de motion. The Judge will proceed with the bail hearing and will then set a bail...if the accuse meets the bail conditions he/she will go home that same day, otherwise they will be sent to jail until they can perfect their bail.

Once they are out on bail, it is now up to the IPO to move ahead and present the case or if an out of court settlement is reached, the IPO can withdraw the case.

I think in this case, the guy cannot be convicted as what he did, did not amount to negligence...it appear the girl or someone close to her have some type of advantage or favoritism at the Police, hence this charge was brought in the first place...even at that, a Judge cannot dismiss the case until the facts of the case are presented either through a pre trial motion the accused or during trials by the IPO.

How can you something as obvious as Know how to cook.

This alone is a deal breaker for many men!

meforyou1:
what are u saying? Talking from both sides of your mouth. Blame police for what? Is it not the job of the judge to judge fairly?

It appear that, you don't know how jurisprudence works...the case has not been presented to the Judge.

The IPO has not presented his case, testimony, evidence, etc to the Judge as to why they think the defendant is guilty as charged and as such, there is nothing for the Judge to judge aka adjudicate on at this preliminary stage.

Once the IPO decides to proceed and present their case, it is only then the Judge can judge; but now they are just talking about bail, etc.

Naijacost22:
This Judge is an IDIOT, Big IDIOT, What crime did he commit?

So is the IDIOT Judge saying its a crime not to marry a girl you pregnant? So why is Whizkid and Davido not in jail?

The case has not been presented to the Judge for adjudication, they are just taking care of miscellaneous pre-trial items e.g. bail, etc.

Your outrage should be directed at the police especially the IPO.

The truth is, a bad belle IPO can charge you to court for anything and make you sleep in jail for a few nights unjustly and the Judge can't do anything until the case is presented to him/her either via the prosecution proceeding to trial or you hiring a competent lawyer to bring a pre trial motion on your behalf to throw the case off.

Following Sunday's assault incident which was made public yesterday, Zimbabwe's President Mugabe's wife Grace Mugabe, has reportedly surrendered to the Police. This was confirmed by South Africa's Police Minister, Fikile Mbalula.

The Zimbabwe's First Lady who is South Africa for treatment, was accused of using extension cord on 20-year-old South African Model, Gabrielle Engels, which gave her a gash on her forehead.

I doubt these bloggers, she have diplomatic immunity in SA, the police cannot even question her about the incident.

menxer:
The problem is sending the generated power from those IPPs to the national grid to be shared back to those that generated it in the first place.

Akwa Ibom has IPP, but do we have constant power? NO, because the power we generate is sent to the national grid to be allocated back to us.
That policy makes sense right?

We should be sending our excess output to national grid.

The reason for that is, states do not have their own independent distribution system and had to rely on the federal government national grid for distribution.

Base on what the Minister said, states can now invest in distribution and not only generation and dmarc points between state distribution system and the National grid can be metered such that only excess power is sent to the national grid.

Originalsly:
OP.... don't worry about my tone... you seem to be someone arrogant and full of pride.... forgetful of the position you applied for and what was expected of you. You admitted to doing 'outside work' ...I guess on his time...and you seem to believe that's ok...that's grounds for you to be fired...in any country. You said you are entitled to N1K for phone calls.... that was in the contract?...or that's what they gave?...and you took it to the next level... you are entitled? Even if you were... they can cut it down to whatever they think fit....or eliminate it altogether. More on point.... do you know if any of what you were told is true? Do you know if the guy took half of your 1k and cooked up the reduction story?...or the you are suspended story? Don't show up for work tomorrow.... go get a lawyer and return next two weeks or whenever.... I guarantee you will be fired for not showing up for work...quitting without notice. And what will your boss say?...he never suspended you... then what?

I doubt if you understood the OP...He never indicated that, he accepted or did outside job....He was persuaded to do some jobs outside his company assigned obligations and N1,000 was added as additional payments for his added headaches.

A more likely scenario might be e.g. he was employed to only do maintenance on certain items e.g. A,B & C....but along the line, he was persuaded aka begged to also maintain items D & F and for accepting the new responsibilities N4k was added to his entitlements in form of calling cards. Which means, the Boss acknowledged that, this new added assignments were outside his obligations and as much as I agreed that, the Boss reserve the right to reduce or eliminate the increased entitlement, he is obligated to give the OP advance notice.

decatalyst:
Your boss saw that flagrant rejection as an insult to his office! Let me tell you how I feel. I think he is right to see it as insult!

You should have accepted it and meet with the person that sent the money in person. That's wisdom!

By the way, which standard company suspends or fire over the phone?

This is bull! His Boss is a man-child, the OP is right to reject it. Legally, had he accepted it, it can be viewed as his acceptance of the reduced calling card entitlements.

Agreed, the money involved here is very little, but the principle is key. You don't walk into an office on a payday and accept 50% reduced pay without any explanation and if a reduction is anticipated, it must be communicated ahead of time.

That said, OP looking for a lawyer over N1,000.00 is waste of time. You did a good thing by rejecting it, that shows that you dignity and have a good sense of self-worth, don't sell yourself short. Use these two weeks to look for another job, intensify your efforts, if after two weeks you didn't get another job, resume the work...but you must leave that company, they don't value their workers....you can't have a career there.

TheHistorian:
Logically and Morally,She isn't obliged to marry you neither is she mandated to reciprocate your kindful gestures towards her.You did all what you did out of free will and you never mentioned of being once coerced by her.

If things had work out..fine!...And now that things gone awry,You pick up your pieces and move on.You are not the first to spend on a lady to eventually get abandoned and certainly you won't be the last.And by the way,During the relationship, was she not dousing your sexual cravings....abeg!

I'd implore you to stop posting her pictures on the internet in order to get back at her.It's silly,chidish and ludicrous.You might be posing a great danger at her personality and career.


Dude....MOVE ON!!!

Not entirely true...He did it with the intention of marrying the lady and he made this known to the lady and she consented to the verbal contractual agreement.

Agreed, it is foolheaded to train or invest in a lady for the sole purpose of marrying her, but that does not mean that, it is wrong or ill conceived.

The lady broke her own end of the bargain and contract after reaping the benefits and it does not matter if she later fell out of loving the guy or was deceitfully playing along. A contract is binding and it does not matter if it is verbal or not. And falling out of love or the excuse of 'marriage is complicated' is not a reason to backout, there are no options to back out of a bad deal simply because after some years, it looks less favorable. One is morally, ethnically and legally obligated to fulfill the terms of their contracts. That is why if guys sue...courts force ladies to return engagement rings, if the wedding did not put through, because the engagement ring is given in anticipation of a marriage.

The lesson to all parties, especially ladies; don't let any guy train you. When most guys invest on a lady immensely and exclusively, it is because they want something in return, if you want to keep your options open, tell them at the onset.

As for the guy, it is not wise insisting on marrying someone, who have shown or told you that she does not love you. Chalk this up to bad investment and move on and one will hope that, you have learnt a valuable lesson from this...

Note to all guys...if you must train a lady in anticipation of marrying her and hope to recoup your investments in case she says NO later; be wise... tell her words that tie your training her to you guys getting married e.g. 'Bae, if I train you, will you marry me? or I will struggle to train you, if you agree to marry me or promise that, you will marry me if I try you, etc' and to forestall any denial later, make sure you record the conversation.

Is a three year suspension from legal practice same as a conviction??

While this shows that Femi has a dent on his integrity, I do not believe it's same as being convicted as Was the case with Thief James Onanefe Ibori.

They are not related; what constitutes a conviction is either a guilty plead (which he did) or a finding of guilt by a competent jury (which he avoided by pleading guilty).

The Suspension is just the sentence that was accessed against him for been convicted.

It is possible to plead guilty and never get suspended at all, one could just be repreminded or given a letter of warning...the fact that you receive just a letter of warning does not mean you were not convicted, it just met you were given a light and favorable sentence and in some cases, you could have a 'suspended sentence' which means no sentence at all, but the fact that you got no sentence at all does not mean you were not convicted...they are two different things.

Conviction happens at the time you pleaded guilty or found guilty, the type or severity/lacks thereof of the sentence received later at the sentencing stage does not erase your conviction.

You lost your phone and couldn't inform your people ASAP about it while in a strange land!

Some people and their reasoning sha.

With the advent of GSM and the rather lengthy numbers, I can guarantee you that...on average most people are useless without their phone.

I have met people who does not know the phone number of their next of kin without looking it up on their phone contacts. The only number most people know is their own phone number, if their phone get lost and there was no backup, they have to go search diaries, ask others and re gather all numbers afresh.

Why would any sensible person what to steal such item. Its not real gold and its conspicuous. You will be easily found out unless tucked in one corner of your room.
Its kind of funny. Just like those home videos where they steal the communities oracle

The Blessed Sacrament is actually the consecrated wafer placed in the monstrance.

If you have seen catholic during Corpo Christi, that procession that takes them through the town...you would have noticed the Reverend Father holding something up, it is called the monstrance and inside is the consecrated wafer called the blessed sacrament.

It is edible...the person must be hungry or need an overdose of the blessings of God by eating the consecrated body of His Son.

Garrithe1st:
Isn't this the same guy that said Aisha Buhari was a wanted felon in the US only to be proved a shameless liar?

That Ibori was convicted and served jail term is no news. We know the court that sentenced him and the prison where he served his term.

Show me proof of Femi's conviction..

Femi admitted guilty before the Georgia Supreme Court, refunded the $25k he misappropriated and was suspended. It has the same effect of been convicted.

He was caught, dragged before the Supreme Court, seeing no way out and with a possible disbarment steering right him, he had to plead-out his case and accept the lesser punishment and he is no different than out criminals who stole money from the public...THEY ARE ALL THE SAME!

The Georgia Appellate Legal Ethics has this documented about his case and it is in the public domain for anyone to access...

So Fayose's attack puppy is defending the Grand Patron of corruption in the Niger Delta who was convicted by a competent court of law.

PDP truly is a religion of corruption and sleaze..

And the court that convicted 'Hon.' Femi Gbajabiamil in the USA is not competent?

However you looked at it, APC is no different from PDP, this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Plankton2017:
Good day all,

My wife to be's character has been terrible since we did our trad. Now I dont know if I should halt my wedding plans slated for this Saturday.

Her and her family are very domineering and rude. She shouts at me at the top of her voice and does not respect me. I have done Trad and Court wedding. what can I do for God's sake

You are asking the wrong question, if you have done court wedding you are already married...Your question should be; should you annul the marriage or divorce her - depending on your mileage.

Annulment is always better for marriages with short life span as yours, but check the criteria for that under the jurisdiction where you stay.

Back to the meat of your wife...if you guys are not yet 'married' and you are feeling this way, it will only get worst when she gets in. No one in their right mind enters into a contract they have a bad feelings about. Marriage is complicated, it is not a bed of roses, and you definitely does not want to give birth to/and bring up kids under this condition. Take a step back, and suspend the white wedding, afterwards look into annulment.
