RomanceRe: I Dated A Married Woman Once, And We Were Caught by linearity: 3:44pm On Jan 18, 2025
Instead of looking for the married woman to ask her husband for forgiveness, why not solicit for her hand in marriage her husband must have divorce or dump her by now, you guys clicked and seem to be met for each other.

Or possibly it because you dumped her and her husband dumped and divorced her that is causing your bad luck…her spirit must be crying to heaven for the ill fate you brought her way and left her in pains, so marrying her might just be the only way out for you.

Let's keep exposing the satanic NGOs and foreign sponsors fuelling these terrorists, including local conspirators that are sympathetic to these terrorists. I particularly suspect Amnesty international, the earlier the FG boot them the hell out, the sooner we finish off these ragtag terrorists. The way Amnesty international speak for the terrorists & fighting the military over terrorist matter is crazy Yet you won't hear them say a word over Isreal's atrocities & genocide or condemn US war crimes.
Whenever the CDS comes out to speak, let's respect him, he has a lot of info at his desk.

PoliticsRe: Nnamdi Kanu Offers ₦1 Million Challenge To Law Students by linearity: 2:20pm On Jan 17, 2025
gidgiddy:
All this has nothing to do with the challenge Nnamdi Kanu set. The court of appeal discharged and ordered that Kanu be released. The government ran to the same Appeal court to ask that court to stay its own judgement while it appealed that judgement at the Supreme court

What Kanu is asking is where has it happened that a person is set free by a court, you ask that same court to temporarily keep the person it already freed, in jail, while you appeal at a higher court? How can any person ask a court to suspend its own judgement so they can appeal elsewhere?

I have never heard of such judicial rascality in my life, and I'm sure no Law student has either
It happens everyday all over the world.

Either party who got a ruling they do not like, can ask that same court to hold the ruling or maintain the statusquo whil they appeal.

It is up to that court to agree or not to agreed.

Some courts even without either party asking, hold their ruling and give either side a number of days to appeal that ruling and if after the expiration of those days if no appeal is done, the ruling become final.

-Kiss the truth!
Easier said than done!

These farmers don’t work with BH willingly, they are enslaved and forced to pay tax to BH under the threat of death.

BH has been known to enter these villages and kill everyone overnight.

Until the Government provides adequate 24hr security, I doubt ordinary speech would make any difference.

This is the same speech by the Nigeria Police telling families not to pay ransom if their loved ones are kidnapped. Everyone know that paying ransom is bad and encourages these people despite that, many go into debt, sell valuable properties on the cheap to pay these ransom and this will not stop until the Government take her responsibility for security sacred.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Terry Jackson Makes Pregnant Woman Apologize In Virginia Church by linearity: 9:34am On Jan 12, 2025
Namaster:
People who condemn the pastor and asked "why the girl needs pepple to forgive her" or to "show grace" and all the other drudgery are MYOPIC.

This is the WHOLE point of a church:
A community of people who hold each other to CLEARLY-DEFINED standards of virtues and morals.

Accountability is PARAMOUNT!

You don't attend EVERY Sunday and Midweek service just to end up as a SINGLE MOTHER.

You'd be a DISGRACE to the entire congregation.

That means you have LIED and DECEIVED them by PRETENDING to uphold their set standards while in church just to be FUCCKING like a porrnstar outside the church.

That's HYPOCRISY!

SHAME and STIGMA are effective tools for societal cohesion.

When someone misbehaves, SHAME them in punlic.

In fact, the Pastor was TOO lenient.
Were I in his position, she'd be EXCOMMUNICATED immediately after the apology.

The FAKE tears are so annoying.

She's getting ready to bring another FATHERLESS black child into the world.
What did she expect?
Praise?

She should count her blessings that she was only asked to apologise and NOT cast out as a PARIAH.
The whole church, the pastor and yourself are all hypocrites and does not believe even the Bible you read.

Is she the only sinner in there? The Bible said, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Why is there no queue with the other sinners going to publicly confess their own sins to the congregation and and asking for their forgiveness? Afterall the Bible say we should confess our sins one to another.

fmlala:
Those are typical questions that need answer. Who married off 14 year old girl ?. A lot of people need to go to prison in place of this innocent girl.
The Penal code in the North legalized this.

In 2010 a popular Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria married a 13 years old girl and nothing happened. This guy even tried, he waited until she turned 14, our honorable Senator could not wait that long.

If we want this to change, let the Penal code be amended.

But, I will bet my left testicle that nothing will change as the very people in the North whose kids and kindreds you are pitying right now will vigorously fight against that change.

So no prison for the guy here because he fulfilled the requirements of the law.

From you post, it appears you had something against your father before now.

You despise him, and totally preferred your mother.

You can go ahead and report him to your mother to validate your disposition towards him.

The truth is, you reporting would not make anything better, it is even possible your mom already knew and he been ignoring him or looking the other way.

Inserting yourself right in the middle of this adult husband and wife situation might not be the best.

If I was in your shoes and are concerned, I will confront my Dad first….and please stop referring to your Dad as a goat, let that come from outside…and the end of the he is still your Dad and the Bible say we should respect them so that our days on earth will be long, it is the only Commandment that came with a reward….act wisely.

prickursense:
I believe to answer the question you have posted, put yourself in Afe Babalola's shoes. Having done that, you can then see why Dele should be detained,and processed through the very justice system he so easily accused of malfeasance, without tangible evidence.

I hold Dele Farotimi in high regard. I see Dele as a honest person, and a right thinking human rights activist.

A human rights activist must respect the rights of other people, because a whole lot of people hold him in high esteem and probably believe what he is saying in the media, while forging his brand of activism.

The brand of activism becomes suspect, if a lawyer, who is an activist, become remanded in prison for breaking the law for defamation. That means his activism is not genuine. His activism is not sincere, because he did not research the law properly for him to realise that he did not have legal ground to stand on, in this matter with Afe Babalola. He may not have malice-afore-thought. But he has mens Rea in the broad sense of the word. This is the reason why there will be a criminal conviction. Dele has mens Rea. The book title demonstrates that.

Some people will say, Afe Babalola should pardon and let it go. That is not going to happen.

Dele should know better than defame his professional group, of which he is an active member. He will be taught a difficult lesson. They will waste his most precious asset, his time, and then he will spend a lot of his own money until he starts to be his own legal counsel. Nigerians will learn about defamation from this case.

NB: Every professional body or association around the world is like a cult group. They have priority with main objective to look after members interests, especially loyal members.
Having now read the original 16 count charges against him in the magistrate court.

Now of the charges cited Ekiti State Criminal code, they are based on section 59, 373 and 375 of the Criminal code of Nigeria adopted into Ekiti State Criminal code under Cap 16. Also Cap 16 of Ekiti State criminal code was repealed and replaced by section 429(a) of the Ekiti State criminal code which did not cite defamation as a criminal conduct.

Therefore the trial in the magistrate court is trying a federal case and not Ekiti State case, so all the noise about Ekiti has not de-criminalize defamation like Lagos and Edo State are mere distractions.

Yet the NBA the premium legal body in Nigeria can against the manner for which he was arrested?

Also, we now know that Ekiti State have decriminalize libel, meaning his continual present in detention is a human right abuse and abuse of power.

OK na, When he signs executive order to execute it let's see you will lament it didn't pass through Congress bla bla bla
Executive order bypasses all what you highlighted.
You clearly do not know what you are talking about, you better delete your previous post.

If an Executive Order from the President can bypass the Congress and US Constitution, why is Congress there to begin with and why do the US have a Constitution?

They would have just send all the Legislators home and abolish the Constitution and let the President rule by Executive Orders.

Executive Orders are inferior tools, given the the Executive to set policies in line with Congressional laws and the Constitution...E.g. the law states if you drive 10 miles about the speed limit, the Executive can prosecute and convict you in the court of law....but in enforcement, the Executive might decide that, it would require more cost to prosecute everyone that drive over 10 miles, they may decide to e.g. only prosecute those who are repeat offenders.

In the USA 14th Amendments, it is clearly stated that..."All people born or naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and the state where they live".

No Executive Order can undo that, you can take it to the bank and no law passed by Congress can also undo it.

To undo it, there must be a constitutional review, where Congress of the States Houses in the USA by a two-third majority must propose that review and after they proposed it, another three-fourth of State House must pass it before it goes into the Constitution and it is easier for the head of a camel to literally pass through the eye of a niddle than for that Amendment to pass in the USA of today.

Antoeni:
Please lawyers should help me. A Federal High Court granted him bail (court of higher jurisdiction on a matter) but a court of lower jurisdiction denied him bail. Is Magistrate court more powerful than Federal high court? Please; I am a novice in law o.
They are different charges. The High Court charge is on cyber-crime based on his social media comments/interviews on the Nigeria Judiciary and the plaintiff and the magistrate court is on criminal defamation against the plaintiff.

From new information that even Ekiti State has de-criminalized defamation, it then appears that the magistrate court charges would be dropped eventually hence some are saying the High court charges were filed.

If that is the case, it appears that Dele have the right to sue the Ekiti State and Afe for kidnapping, unlawful detention and, human right violations.

What matters is that, he is giving money to voters and he is excluding non-voters.

Non registered voters can also sign petitions in USA, but he is excluding them and also only targeting voters from a selected few states, which happens to be swing states where the margins are very thin.

Plus his petition is a federal petition about a federally covered constitutional matter, while limit to only registered voters in a few states?

He knows what he is doing, and the DOJ also know it, hence they sent him a warning message and that is why he is also adjusting his strategy and messaging.

Bill Gates donated to a Super PAC supporting Kamala Harris.

Elo Musk has so far also donated more 50m to a Super PAC supporting Trump, in fact he was the one that started it, Bill Gate was late to the game.

DOJ did not send any letter to Elo Musk for his Super PAC donations because it is completely legal, why do you think they should send one to Bill Gate?

What Elo Musk is doing now is totally illegal, you cannot give financial benefits or any benefits directly voters in any form.

These same GOP are kicking against even simple help that have financial relationships to voters in heavily democratic areas…eg they are Court right now against Churches that give rides to their members to go the polls, you can’t give water to voters standing under scourging sun for long hours, you can’t help the elderly to complete their ballots, you can’t help anyone post their ballots, etc

These are a few things the GOP are fighting against right now in regional Courts but only in heavily democratic regions of the Country.

Giving money to voters is completely new and maybe illegal.

Individual donations to Candidates are limited in the USA hence people donate to Super PAC if they have exhausted their direct donations and it is legal.

Without paper or digital trail that links the person to the Taxi, it is difficult to solve crimes like these if done by even registered airport taxi.

Uber/Bolt are better as long you don’t do offline trip, the trail will be there. That is why it is good to have someone else order Uber/Bolt for you or share your trips status with someone. Uber have a ‘Trust Contact’ feature and that person can track all your trips.

I agree with you that there should be competition but certainly not with these selfish importers. Their aim is to undercut and kill that refinery and then turn around to deal with Nigerians.
If they love their country so much why haven't these importers who have been fleecing us through subsidy all these years not been able to pool their resources to build a refinery?
Besides, Dangote has a right to go to court if he feels that NMDPRA has violated the PIA act by issuing licenses to these importers.
So how will competition kill a locally made product?

Nigerians don't learn.....That how they ban all foreign rice and many other produces in the name of they are 'killing local production' how did we fare?

The case of rice was very good, because we have many many local options or sources to buy from, in this case once Dangote kills import, he will be the sole supplier of petroleum product in Nigeria and you trust him that he is going to sell it to you at a fair price?

What mechanism will be in place to even determine what the fair price will be?

Since he is getting crude locally and in Naira, his focus would have been to undersell importers because he would not be exposed to their variableness rather than trying to ask a Court to invalidate their licenses.

Make sure the first 1000 offenders are dealt with

This simple order would restore sanity to the Nigerian police
The DPOs are very much aware of this and officers fight to be posted to these various juicy spots where they can collect bride and they usually will return kickbacks to the Oga so as to be posted again next time.

So if the DPO is Sanctioned, only then can they reign in their subordinates.
