I hope the whole world witnessed how Alhaji Apapa was beaten, drag on the ground and almost lynch to death for going to the court to do his job as the recognized party chairman.

The man was embarrassed for trying his best to protect their party against impostors. Alhaji Apapa needs to go for medical attention to ascertain his health.

History will be kind to him for saving democracy.

As the ‘recognized’ Chairman of the party and a law abiding citizen of Nigeria, he should have simply filed a petition to withdraw or struck out the case.

He should not be going their to drag chair with children, BTW I never knew the tribunal reserved certain chairs exclusively for party chairmans.

I have said it, I will say it again?

Why should court proceedings be altered because of one incompetent illiterate hiding his incompetence behind religion to get power?

Buhari filed cases at the Presidential Petition Tribunal, there was no live broadcast.

Atiku did same, no live broadcast

Even obituarist did same at state level, no live broadcast.

And I believe there is a legal purpose for that.

Why then should the legal process be abused because of one illiterate who can't pass ordinary Philosophy in school? Is this the first time there will be Election Petition Tribunal?

How is live broadcast abuse of legal process, can you explain?

Traditional marriage are still valid under the eyes of the law, except that they are inferior in the presence of the court marriage.

Once of the first requirements to get married under the court system is that, “you must be free to marry” if you even given some form at the registry along those lines.

Since she is not free to marry at the time she did her marriage with GUY B…her foist fits

What witness do they need?
The video is enough evidence

The video is not enough!

It has to be authenticated in court by the person that took it. Even after proper authentication, defense can question it’s chain of custody from when it was taken as authenticated to when it was brought to court.

The Prosecution have to proof all that before it can be allowed into evidence, but the defendant must have good lawyers who know what they are doing.

Otherwise video are considered as heresay and can be argued as doctored and cannot be accorded by any court as an evidence of what they show.

Jennyclay:
Biko, Someone should come and take me to U.k, honestly I won’t end the relationship/marriage

The core of the problem is their feminist mentality that you already subscribe to but still in 9ja.

I doubt if you will make it past the immigration checkpoint before your true color & feminist tendencies ends the relationship.

Arrogant Nonsense!

Nigeria still playing ethnic politics and still expecting different results.

Tell me, how has PMB eight years in office benefited the North?

More Northerners died under PMB than under any previously elected democratic President of Nigeria.

Following your tired and flawed logic, it is my belief that, the Yorubas will be salivating now and thinking the next four, eight years will be remarkable for them, none sense!

The only thing that would happen is the same that had been happening all these time…that is, the rich will keep getting richer while the poor will continue to be poor.

God1000:
Computer science is responsible for creating the foundation for the computer systems we all know and love. It is more focused on how and what makes computers work. Computer scientists use algorithms and special programming languages (such as JavaScript, HTML and Python) to solve issues.

Information technology on the other hand involves using software and hardware to take care of computer systems. Professionals working in IT are responsible for maintaining the systems made by computer scientists. This includes protecting it from hackers.


So generally, computer science refers to designing and building computers and computer programs. Information technology, on the other hand, refers to maintaining and troubleshooting those computers and their networks, systems, and databases to ensure they run smoothly.

In today’s work force and with software defined network, there is literally no difference between both.

Even the lines between the old software and hardware scientists or engineers are blurred and completely erased.

Ok u Cannot understand until you come here. For Chicago, the average property tax is $3500 annually.

You pay $3k5 for property tax annually on average? That is very cheap considering…..

I pay $12k plus and it increases each year by 3 - 5%.

Naso university exam questions suppose be... Relatable current affairs and not old set of questions used in the 80s.

I don’t know if these questions are fair though!

Back in my university days, I doubt if we were abreast of all major stories happening in the country talkless of internationally.

Dijita:
I am not a fan of NBC. However, I think this judge interpretation of the law get K leg. Even in western countries ministries and and agencies impose fines. If the company feels the fine is unjust, they can go to court for the court to arbitrate.
May be this is just fake news. otherwise going by the logic you can not be issued with parking or driving violations unless you go to court.

"Between 1990 and 2004, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued fines totaling $2.5 million to radio licensees for airing material it deemed indecent from The Howard Stern Show, the highest amount of any American radio show."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission_fines_of_The_Howard_Stern_Show

"The federal banking agencies, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, also have the authority to impose civil penalties for violations of U.S. sanctions laws and regulations."
https://iclg.com/practice-areas/sanctions/usa#:~:text=The%20federal%20banking%20agencies%2C%20including,U.S.%20sanctions%20laws%20and%20regulations.

You are comparing Apples to Oranges.

The baseline here is the Nigerian Constitution and not the Constitution of the United States of America. Yes, there are similarities but the two books are totally different.

A very good example is, the word "Impeachment" can be found in the America Constitution and also in Nigeria Constitution, but the meaning and applications are totally different. In the US to impeach the President simply means for the House to indict him or charge him with an offense but in Nigeria impeaching the President means removing him/her from office.

To understand the subject matter, consult the Nigeria Constitution, The Act establishing these Agencies and Case Laws in Nigeria...The fact that, the Act ascribe powers to a particular Agency does not mean that those powers are valid, they can be challenged and if they run contrary to the Constitution of Nigeria they will be stricken down.

lhordspy:
Maybe i am wrong BUT This doesnt make sense. NBC is a regulating commission/body, it should have power to be able to sanction erring broadcasting organisation without having to rely on the judiciary.

Instead it is the broadcasting organisation that should file a case at the court if they are not satisfy with the sanctions imposed on them.

It is more like telling LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY or other precautionary and regulating agency to seek court intervention before impounding your vehicle for going against the law or NCC trying to seek court intervention before imposing sanctions on erring network providers. These are regulatory bodies, it is one of their main responsibility taken away from them while rendering them incapacitated.

Court process takes to long. We all know NBC is the only thing holding this mischievous and overly sentimental media houses by the balls and checkmating their excesses. If not, journalism would have been an insane crazy affair in this country. It should be the other way round. Anyone who is not satisfy with the sanctions should go to court not the regulatory body seek court intervention and interpretation before imposing sanctions.

Take a look at ARISETV as a case study. This is an invitation to unethical, unprincipled journalism. In a bid to cleanse the country's mediums of information of partisanship and unprofessional conduct. The court strikes. This is a judgement against our sanity.

The real question is....does LASTMA, ROAD SAFETY truly have the power to impound and impose fines on Nigerians?

Nigerians are just taking these things lying down because going to Court is expensive and consume a lot of time. Until a Court of Competent jurisdiction has adjudicate on these questions, it is premature to conclude that these agencies despite what they do everyday truly have such powers.

A Federal High Court had previous ruled against FRSC that they do not have the power to impose fines and that court followed the same logic as above that, they must pass through the Court to be able to do so and that, they cannot be Judge and Jury in their own case.

https://www.icirnigeria.org/court-rules-against-imposition-of-fine-by-frsc-for-offences/

Gradually, Nigerians are fighting back and one block at a time the system seems to be sanitizing itself....Impunity can not run amok forever.

dirty and smelling new york. The first word you hear out there soon as you touch down is can u spare me a dollar? Beggars and addicts den. Capital of depression. Saw your failed elder brother selling coffee on the street after 40yrs

Pray that God would bless you so that you can move out the ghetto areas of New York.

Stop painting to us how poor the housing and neighborhoods you can afford to live-in is.

SeunDAssLicker:
Local government chairman. But NY as a city has the budget of Nigeria.

NYC budget is more than three times that of Nigeria.

LORDKing001:
Equate equivalent of mayor to any political office holder abeg. Who b mayor? Is he higher than a state governor?

New York City is like a Local Government Area, it comprises of five boroughs aka towns viz: Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn & Staten Island.

So, it’s equivalent is a LGA Chairman, but as you known, some Managers for some companies big pass Director General or Board Chairman for other companies or even President self. New York is the financial capital of the world.

To put it in perspective, the 2023 budget for NYC is about $104b, whereas the budget for the whole of Nigeria for the same period was $30b…..which means he manages a lot more administratively in one year than even PMB would in his entire first term in office.

jaephoenix:
I don't even think you have the power to reason properly, never mind logically.
Your friend Linearity says every procedure etc must be 100% screened and made sure to be completely risk free before embarking on it, like a delivery. The dude replied that 100% risk free procedures aren't guaranteed. And in fact, doing all the tests before a procedure like delivery is not possible. Investigations like liver, thyroid and kidney function tests, spotting profiles, renal scintigraphy etc are good but not always necessary before labor/deliveries. But if u can do them, fine and good. But the problem is they cost a lot, thus investigations are cut down to viral markers, PCV, urinalysis, VDRL.
If you are very rich, by all means do all. But when 95% of Nigerians can't afford them, it doesn't mean you can't attend to such procedures, but do the barebones investigations, and hope nothing happens. Or do you expect the doc to pay for those investigations? When you say we are morally obligated to save lives, do you expect us to do it blind(blind means without those costly investigations). Even when you put in your best as a doc, you still need the patient to do his or her own part, that is do all the investigations.
People in Europe and US youre pointing to are suffering. Ask them how much healthcare is over there? Its very costly because docs over there have learnt to cover themselves by requesting for in depth and extensive investigations before any procedures to prevent any issues(which would lead to litigations). We don't ask for such here but gradually due to the increasing litigations, we are doing that

I am not saying that shit don't happen or things must be 100%, there are no utopia world or scenarios out there.

All I am saying is that, given the multiple cascading events that took place in this case and the fact that it happened in Nigeria, where maternal mortality rate is among the top 10 in the world, more often than none, there is culpability with the professionals who had a duty to care.

In a situation where 1 in every 22 women would die during pregnancy in Nigeria says a lot about our healthcare system. Agreed the majority of these deaths are due to lack of care or access to care centers, but a good portion of them like the case in point happened in care centers in Nigeria.

https://www.concernusa.org/story/worst-countries-to-be-a-mother/

So in situations like these, my default position is to blame the care center until proven otherwise. I agree that I am biased (so factor this bias in understanding my position).

However, if you look at the bright side, it shows that I have a lot of faith in the Nigeria care centers that, they can really do more and in most cases, it is not really the money that makes the difference, but the value attached to human life by the care center personnel.

Don't take my word for it, visit a few care centers in Nigeria and see how humans have been reduced to commodities, everything that goes on is transactional despite budgets covering these items. The state House clinic in Abuja had a budget of about N20 billion but bu the President's wife told us, you can't even get Paracetamol there and the President travels abroad to treat his ear infection.

Firstly, no medical student would be allowed to carry out a Caesarean operation. I know this because I'm a doctor trained in Nigeria.I initially thought it was done by a resident,who is a qualified doctor already, but now, we know it's a consultant who did it.
2) Complications are sadly, part of operations and normal standard procedure anywhere in the world is to inform the patient of these risks. Rarely would you see any "experienced professional" who hasn't had a complication before. So, it's not damaging.
3) I've explained why she had kidney failure in the previous thread. It's not due to "tampering" with her kidney.

4) was the hospital wrong in arranging an MDT meeting with the husband? Would you have preferred they ignored him?
It's hard to please Nigerians.

I took time to locate and read your previous comments on this subject, the truth is I am not persuaded.

Yes, there are complications every surgery hence one is asked to sign below the dotted lines before anything can be done.

But the multiple cascading failure here leaves one with nothing but to question the know-how and professionalism of the doctors involved here.

It was a child birth that resulted in excessive bleeding. This is totally under the control of the Doctor in charge, if the right tests medical screening are carried out, excessive bleeding can be anticipated with proper remedy in place. It is most likely the knife cut some place it should not have touched leading to the bleeding.

Secondly, when the bleeding occurred, it is totally under the control of the Doctors to monitor and protect her other organs, they cannot just say excessive bleed lead to organ shutdown’….she was right there under your watch.

Thirdly, she was put on dialysis due to kidney shutdown and died within few days from what again?

The Hospital are I order for setting up the MDT because too many things went wrong and someone should be held responsible.

This is not good for the Hospital and their rebutter does not erase the negative light this event has cast on them.

dohyn:
Glad to see the hospital has come out to say something.
I understand the man is angry and hurt,so I don't blame him for his write up.Also, this is Nigeria, the public tends to believe whoever puts the story out first, especially if they are the aggrieved party.
At least, we now know it was a consultant who carried out the operation, and not a "student doctor" as claimed in the initial story.
Makes one wonder what else might be been embellished in the initial story.
It is well

So how do you know, that the operation was carried out by a consultant?

Because the hospital said so? Also, during operation many doctors are involved including student doctors.

Plus, it is even damaging that it was a professional that carried out the operation because if I recall, the husband said, during child birth, the wife experienced a complication and they were advised that her womb have to be taken out and in the process of operating the womb, they tampered with her liver or kidney.

Also the hospital here stated they invited the husband to a multidisciplinary meeting, which means the hospital knew there was fault on their end to have setup a disciplinary team.

lhordspy:
I am seeing lot of things probably playing out here.

1. Mental disorderliness

The United keeps investing billions of dollars in healthcare bills, they keep funding health researches with billions of dollar. But yet they encourage homosexual and other unthinkable acts under the excuses of freedoms and right that are direct result or consequences of depression and mental illness.

Most of these guys carrying out these despicable acts are either transgender or spoilt little brats who are very retarded, but protected by the 'He is just depressed' phrase. A 'just depressed' person that sees nothing wrong in entering a mall to gun down people in annoyance just because he or she can't find butter in the refrigerator to eat bread.


2. I am suspecting the Anti-Gun campaigners. Over the years they have taken a very bold and daring step to make their demands.We have seen group of people infecting thousands with a disease just to force the government to build more hospital in their country or invest more in healthcare.

And in Un!ted state, we know how these campaigner behaves, they can be extreme somethings. Even when they are fighting a good cause, they sometimes use very extreme way to pass their message across. I feel maybe they may be behind these attacks, or sponsoring them; a bid to justify their fight against the free access to guns and push the lawmakers into making more gun-control measures.

3. Karma: Slutty b!tchy little karma.

Un!ted state, the self-acclaimed world peace maker. Who has been going around destroying nations. Libya, Afghanistan, iraq, Hiroshima and Nagasaki etc

Causing unrest in: Iran, isreal/Palestine, syria, Ukraine/Russia, Cuba, and others all in the name of seeking world peace cant even put its house in order.

What you sow, truly is what you reap. You can never have peace of mind when you go around creating chaos and unrest in other people country.

Your post here is so myopic and show the shallowness of your deceits and hypocrisy and definitely coming from a pro-gun mindset.

1. You conclude without a single piece of evidence that transgender most be part of the killer square. We all know the identities of all the mass shooters, it wouldn't take you much time to look them up and see that, none of them are transgender but rather red neck MAGA followers.

2. None of the shooters are Anti-Gun campaigners, I challenge you to point to one. How can one be Anti-Gun and still owns AR15 and Assault weapons, I guess common sense is not common….It is like accusing a well known and practicing vegetarian of being a carnivore, it does not pass the logic and common sense test just like much of what you are spewing.

It is surprising that in all your supposed reasons, you did not mention the spike of recent Supreme Court ruling that made guns more available and ubiquitous in the US and many Republican State's law recently passed easing access to Guns...The so called 'conservative' republicans does not even want a universal background check before one can have access to guns. In many Republican states due to their new laws, anyone can literally buy an assault rifle with zero license, simply walk in and walk out with a gun just like you buy a pack of gum….you can’t even buy cigarettes and alcohol like that in the US, because they will ask for your license…and many of these guns are finding their ways through interstate commerce and straw buyers into other states with more stricter gun laws that the Conservative Republican Supreme Court has yet to invalidate.

Recently, the supreme court ruled that Americans have a right to carry firearms in the public for self-defense, they also ruled that domestic abusers also have rights to gun, in these ruling all the six (6) conservative Republican and self proclaimed pro-life Judges voted YES, the only three that saw the dangers in that ruling and voted NO are the ones you are bashing here.

mrvitalis:
Not only should subsidy be removed ,#50 to #100 tax should be imposed on every litre of patrol


Poor has zero benefits from subsidy at all it only benefits middle class

Remove subsidy tax petrol #100 per litre with the state of purchase getting 70% if that revenue

The plain truth is that, fuel subsidies is one of the ways ordinary Nigerians are benefiting from the corruption at the top.

Fuel Subsidy is like Robinhood, who this time robs the Government and share some of the little spoils and loots to every Nigerian citizen in form of reduced fuel price at the pump.

If you remove it, Robinhood will go hungry for a while but will adapt and find other ways of robbing the Government. The common Nigeria man on the street will see that spoil cut off in the form of astronomical increases in the price of PMS and since everything is connected, food stuff, transportation, rent, cost of everything in Nigeria will shoot up including inflation.

If you ask me, if there is a way to reform fuel subsidies to remove the middleman, Nigerians would continue to enjoy the benefit of living in a Country that produces and export oil….the Saudi Citizens enjoys these kind of redistribution from their oil wealth from their Government.

WhiteNRed:
What a Country can not do, one man has done.

Check behind the scene, you will be surprised the amount of money Nigeria, NNPC & CBN pumped into the ‘Dangote Refinery’ to obtain minimal share interest.

Even after commissioning, it wouldn’t be ready right away to start producing PMS because they need more cash infusion and Nigeria is looking to pump more money in.

Killing Nigeria owned Refineries were deliberate and intentional.

The more you see, the less you know.

Tadadobe:
Why are Nigerians like this? A news about Max Air land crashing hit the front page and nigerians are all over that thread complaining about how they have it worse in life being a Nigerian. Like we don't even care about life lost or not. These people just got saved and the Only thing you can type is this?

I used to noticed a trend;they can be talking about gun violence in America, and a typical Nigerian wilk still find a way to insert how they're suffering in Nigeria even when the discussion is nothing close to that. Why just why. Is it only us? Why can't we appreciate anything in this country other than crying, wailing and complaining

In fact, you can be scrolling through YouTube comments on a video made by someone abroad, and you can easily know whether it's a Nigerian that make a particular comment or not. Like the video can be about how to prepare meat pie 😒😡and you'll find Nigerian under that post lamenting about how they have never seen electricity in Nigeria for 500yrs. Like why? Are we cursed? And it's not as if we want thing to get better really, we just want to keep crying

Kool down.

BTW your title contradicts your content….

In the title, you “give up on Nigeria”, in the content you start complaining against those you have given up on Nigeria and turn every opportunity to complain about the ill they are passing through in Nigeria.

Watcharena:
but it all about financing

Agreed, but not so much on this case.

In fact, it was a lone local Police officer who was at the mall for personal reasons that eliminated the shooter before the Calvary arrived from the local police unit.

In some cases, armed conceal carry civilians at the scene or close by take care of the situation before the police arrives.

Guns are so ubiquitous in the USA today such that every square meter of the population that is at least one gun with a vast majority of them concealed carry.

Watcharena:
you can't compare 1 trillion dollar defence budget and the little allowance in the name of defence budget .Better soup na money kill am

Local Police don’t draw from defense budget. Defense budgets are strictly for the military.

These first line responders like these are sponsored and financed by their local towns/cities and county aka LGA. Some don’t even have the reach of State Police.

Can you post a picture, so we can know what you are talking about?

Don’t mind the haters, let them go and hug transformer.

dominique:
But the boy was not kidnapped or coerced to donate his kidney, he offered to. He was the one willing to sell his kidney to highest bidder so why make him a victim? Ekweremadu is a corrupt politician that deserves to be flung in jail for stealing but that boy is no victim! He agreed to it, he's not underaged neither is he mentally unfit to decide on his own. I hope the UK authorities deports his snaky ass.

The boy is a victim under the law, that is how the law was written to protect them and empower them to come out.

Same with all these adult kidnapping and human trafficking cases abroad. In human trafficking some of the victims even sourced and paid their transport tickets abroad, but when caught they are regarded as victims and not prosecuted. In the USA they are given a legal status and even shielded.

Same with statutorily rape, even if it is true that an under age girl was the one that plotted, lured, seduced, lied about her age and successfully slept with an adult, she is protected by the law and the adult would be prosecuted.

The OP told you to go to hell and never return if you don't like his big breast thread. So why do you prefer to be an unfortunate child

I did say I didn’t like it, I even confessed that they are very appealing behind those dresses, who no like good thing.

I only stated that, I can’t bring them home to mama.

Gajagojo:
You are the ignorant one
Half knowledge is worse than no knowledge.You
You need to know how the UK works in practice to comment on this
There is a power to grant pardon but Today. The role of the Monarch is to ANNOUNCE it. Depending on which part of the UK the offence is committed the Monarch is ADVISED.to make the declaration by
England Justice Secretary
Scotland First Minister
Northern Ireland Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
Military cases. Defence Secretary
Those people are the ones who have the power to pardon

Yes, the monarch use to have prerogatory of mercy aka royal pardons which have since been delegated out.

Even when they had it, they rarely use it, that is why this is all a wishful thinking.

God1000:
Does he have such power? his powers are ceremonial, Only the prime minister is vested with legal powers.

I don't think king Charles will even get involved in such thing because of his image

No mind them!

Even if he have such powers, this is one thing he will never touch with even with a long pole.

The British Royal Family that are currently riddled with scandals and controversies will not want to score an own goal in this situation, because it would just perpetuate the narrative that the rich and the might are above the law.
