Instead of engaging in dialogue right? How smart undecided
Trump is incapable of a dialogue, he is not that smart or intelligent.

He can only remember five words from his dementia & memory impairment test...”People, man, woman, camera & TV” and since he aced his dementia test by memorizing and repeating those five words, he can’t allow us to rest.

He is all over the news sprouting the only five words he can remember from the test, which were not the actual words from the test, but made up by him because he has forgotten the actual five words on the test!

China has already retaliated by ordering U.S. to close its consulate in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

The Chengdu consular district serves as a key U.S. listening post for developments in Tibet and China's development of strategic weapons in neighboring regions.

He has not been released and the case was not dismissed without prejudice. He would be rearraigned in a few days.

You have the right thought, but it is a case that is dismissed with prejudice that can’t be refilled....according to Premium times, this was dismissed without prejudice, which means it can be refiled.

That said, am skeptical about this report; am currently looking at USA v Ponle on legal monitor docket, that order is not here...the last entry on his file was by Honorable Judge Gabriel Fuentes and and it’s is about no bond been set for him.

That was how it was reported few days ago that Hushpuppi has been released, but on research...he was only released from Chicago jail to Prison Transport to be take to LA where his case has been transferred to.

I wouldn’t believe anything from these blogs until confirmed independently.

Hmm. Any judge preceding this case is just wasting time, in order words this is a sexual harrasssment case and an attempt to have carnal knowledge without consent and an attempt to cause bodily harm, to me audio recordings isnt enough evidence for me to sentence this man, if the woman wants a fair trial she should present concrete evidence that proves beyond all reasonable doubt, this case to me lacks merit and concrete evidence, and 4 lack of better words Useless case and dead on arrival, the man should tell d judge he was drunk and under d influence of alcohol so he can't recall any of such even happening, or he was under duress anything he said is just a fragment of her own imagination, then I close this useless case! Law courts shouldn't be wasting time with useless cases like this when there are many people standing in line to be passed sentences including innocent suspects that were wrongly accused 4 crimes they didn't commit, the tym should be used to hear those cases!
I don’t think inebriation is an effective defense against the charge of rape or any offense for that matter.

But you were onto some important in that, is ‘attempted rape’ even an offense under the law? Yes, rape is an offense....sexual harassment which is a lesser charge look more appropriate here.

It is like charging someone with ‘attempted robbery’....well you never know, maybe Ghanaian lawmaker codified ‘attempted rape’ in their criminal code....or they should upgrade the charges to rape, since she stated that, the guy inserted his hands into her V.

What I found strange is that throughout the 20 minutes, she did not shout or leave the office.

Ok, lemme ask u a simple question? Is this a case in a law court? Over a audio tape?? A right thinking judge would quickly dismiss this case with lacking merit and of concrete evidence and if the judge does that, the man then can sue for damages and defamation!
You can successfully sue someone over an oral contract, which essentially means the only evidence is your words over the other person's. Judges usually will examine the credibility of both litigants before rendering a judgement.

You are right if you say that, your 'word against their's' evidence is hard to proof, but it does not mean that, it is not evidence. The audio tape in this case will collaborate her word of mouth evidence...the onus will now switch to the guy to either deny if it was not him on the recording or if it is fabricated....and he runs a chance of lying under oath, if he lies.

Defamation cases merely means, someone is telling lies publicly against you in order to tarnish your image....And the defense is usually if the event truly took place. In this case, this lady have an audio tape to back her side of the story, the guy have to proof that he is not the one on the tape or that, the lady digitally imposed his voice on the tape to win on a defamation case.

There is no Judge that will dismiss an audio recording that is relevant to the case at hand and was properly authenticated and introduced into evidence, especially when they are exculpatory as this tape is.

no evidence only just a recorded audio that may have been doctored, this case is dead on arrival, no judge would precede over this useless case ! I'm 64% sure at some point she blackmailed him for cash with this audio, if this man has evidence of that or any that prove she willfully agreed at some point either thru chats or calls, then he has a case of defamation to file, no woman should be given d monopoly in filing this useless case to a court and wasting d court's time over a flimsy probably doctored audio and useless case!
It does not matter if she willfully agreed through chat, call, etc a few months, weeks, days, hours of minutes ago....she is now saying NO period! Let her be, he does not have a case against her based on prior act.

The guy does not have any bases to file a defamation case, that is a waste of paper. The content of the audio speaks for themselves and she is within her right to release it publicly....it is not defamation if the event took place or true.

justice for what?it was an accident and not a delibrate murder. Don't just draw your conclusions based on sentiments,lets be logical. Do you even know how that guy that drove the car is feeling right now.
Agreed, it is an accident....but since the driver of the vehicle was not licensed to drive, it is negligence on his part.

He can therefore be charged for negligence homicide, which though not a murder and does not carry the same penalty as murder, but it is manslaughter....therefore the calls for justice are in order.

His remorsefulness as you have stated have no bearing on his prosecution or the call for justice. However, the Judge can consider his remorsefulness or the lacks therefore at the penalty phase of the trial, which come after persecution and conviction.
EventsRe: I'm Planning A 40 Guest (max) Traditional Wedding by linearity: 9:29pm On Jul 20, 2020
Bros....wey you say only 40 guest, what do you mean?

Because, looking at it more closely; if family n friends are also counted towards this guest list, it might be unrealistic.

Let’s assume, you allocate 20 guests to the bride and 20 to you....it means the paternal guest on each side will have only 10 guests, while the maternal side will have 10 guest each....this allocation along will exhaust your intended hard limit of 40.

If you truly want a guest of 40, change it to “For family members on either side ONLY”...otherwise budget for like 80 guests.

And don’t listen to that individual suggesting you use iPhone X to document your wedding. Your pictures and videos will be the only memories you will have and pass on to your kids, so don’t compromise on those.
HealthRe: Coronavirus: Oxford Vaccine Trigger Immune Response, UK Orders 100 Million Doses by linearity: 9:04pm On Jul 20, 2020
At best, one have to be cautiously optimistic and not rush to be among first in line to get these vaccines.

Normally vaccines development take approximately two years before, it is safe to be administered to the generally public. This is not because, it take that long to achieve results reported here, in addition to generating immediate immunities; the long term effect of the vaccine is also studied.

You can’t determine long time effect within six months or a year. Previously, those under trial to whom the injected vaccines have produced immunity are constantly watched and monitored under supervision and tested constantly to see if the vaccines have caused any negative effect, it is after this extend monitoring period that the vaccine is judged to be safe or bad for the general public.

Many Covid-19 vaccine development have skipped many of these safeguards under the approval of the various government entities so that development can be fast tracked, however it remains to be seen if this was a good idea.

nelklyn:
Lol...your own na play “GF”. A FWB did that to me sometime last year while I was asleep...She did not stop with WhatsApp status she also shared it on my fb story with all the whole my love captions.

Back then I was using an old android phone which I refused to change cos I’m of the opinion that the phone I use shouldn’t define me. Well the phone didn’t have a fingerprint sensor and I didn’t like the idea of having to type in a password or pin every time I needed to use my phone so I left it unlocked.

It was a friend of mine that sent me a message on WhatsApp “Na she?”...When I opened the message I was confused grin It wasn’t funny back then... I felt like slapping the girl up from sleep but then I was like “No Wahala”. I deleted the WhatsApp status and went back to sleep. In the morning I started getting fb notifications...omg! the notifications were from her pics on my fb story, I was like wtf!...you kidding right?

I immediately took down her pictures and had to put up a post on my timeline to serve as a disclaimer, stating that the pictures weren’t uploaded by me. Some of my friends on fb made jokes out of that incident.

No one advised me to get a new phone the next week...hence forth I locked my WhatsApp with fingerprint. She didn’t like that...

Note: I didn’t bother confronting her
Using a PIN is still the best though....as they can either slip your thumb out while sleeping and open the phone.

Or...wait till that time you gave them the phone innocently to answer a call, play a game or do something else, and they can easily add an extra thumbprint to the phone.

The fact is that all these are expected.to me,Obaseki shot himself coz he knew very well he had such discrepancies in his qualifications and went fighting this guys,trust me ,I doubt if he can survive this especially with the fact that he submitted different qualifications to INEC,THATS A REALLY BIG MESS..
Sentiments apart,let's be reasonably objective.
What different qualifications did he submitted to INEC?

What he submitted during his first term where affidavits, stating the year he graduated, etc on the ground that he lost his certificates.

What he submitted now, are his true certificates after he might have found them and/or got replacements.

In the county of law, the rule of evidence usually consider the more reliable source. His actual certificates overrides what he stated in his affidavit. The court cannot hold both equal and adjudged that he lied. Even if the court go that, route, what was his motive of lying that he graduated in 1976 vs 1979? Was there anything to be gained or was it a mere memory lapses?

I think the scope of the court here will be to examine his currently submitted credentials if they meet the INEC provision and if they do the case will be strike out.

Don’t sue anyone....go the social media route instead.

Put up a Facebook page with a title akin to you looking for your mom.

Put as much as you can remember about you growing up, with pictures of your, your father, siblings, town, etc.

Keep updating with new info as you remember them and start connecting with people, I bet you will find your mother or reasonable answers within a year.

But be prepare to embrace whatever come out from you knowing your mum, since your dad is hiding this from you, it might not be all that rosy....you might also need counseling, because it might be difficult emotionally.

First of all, I must commend you for giving that little brat that brain formatting slap and secondly on standing your grounds on not apologizing to her.

As for the food, that is a blessing in disguise, they can poison your food or put something that may not cause real harm but can cause you upset stomach.

I will advice you though, please don’t go back to the village, I know you must have said it out of anger and it also appear that your brother love you too, please don’t develop hatred for him...he is in a difficult place at the moment. This is the reason some people despise marriage, there are truly good girls out there, but it is difficult sometimes to land the good ones and for men out there who out of luck or some determination got the right ones kudos to you....but, there are some men who made the wrong choice and they are just managing the situation.

Tell your brother about the food situation and let him know that you are telling not that he resolve it, so they start giving you food, but that he should know what you are going through....and don’t hide it from him that you are afraid they may poison your food, keep pressure on him to get you a place.

If you greet him and he does not response; keep doing, but I will advice that you do it maybe for 3days and then stop for the next 2days before you resume again....you can vary it and repeat the iteration...this will let him know that, you are greeting him out of abundance of respect & love and that though you have the wherewithal to stop greeting him as you have demonstrated but you chose instead to do it, it will also communicate to him that, you are not happy with the situation of things.

More gibberish!

Only goodness knows the kind of fvcked up family or society you grew up in to give you this confidence to spill the nonsense you're spilling. Like, you can just wake up one morning and disappear without trace, without word of where you're headed to the people you stay with and maybe when you're done gallivanting the world, you then show up weeks, months or years after at the house without anyone knowing where you're coming from, in the name of "it is my right not to tell anybody"....It defies common sense.

In the homes of millions of sane Nigerians, even our fathers and mothers who bore us, would never leave the house, without any one knowing where they went to, not to talk of disappearing for weeks. It never happened in ANY sane family and when it did, people raised alarm.

Now the family are the ones running around, spending money on both police & logistics alongside the trauma but your selfish block head, thinks she owes no one any word of where she went to?

No one is asking for details of who you're going to fvck, how many rounds of sex you're going to have, but common sense, a sense of responsibility/accountability, in the spirit of everyone watching out for each other in this crazy world, it is expected that your wards, family, friends you stay with can give basic account of "where" you are or where you're going to.

You dey make noise abeg. Just twisting your own words upandan. How can you open your mouth and say that the girl is NOT obligated to tell the family she stays with her whereabouts? Are you even remotely joking? Have you heard of the word accountability?

You're living in my house (not your house) as my ward and then you go missing for 2 weeks and you think I don't have a "right" to know? Aside the trauma you're causing me, when the authorities are looking for you and launch investigarions, I'll be the first point of call...Doesn't that tell you something? We're not even talking about the fact that society will hold me accountable to an extent for not knowing the whereabouts of my ward in the name of "it's her right not to tell me" ?

If you don't feel any obligation to let your parents, family you stay with, in to days and possibly weeks of disappearing from the house, in present day Nigeria, you're an adult, you're better off living on your own...at that point, they do not have full responsibility or accountability over you.
What you have described is not a right, but an inflated sense of entitlement.

She and her brother were leaving at the same address, she is not a 'ward' of her brother; after getting down from your high-horse, pull up a dictionary and lookup the meaning of the word 'ward'.

If an investigation is launched; yes the authorities will lookup to you for answers, as they will do in any case, with anyone that was the last person to see a missing person or living with them; the fact that authorities will ask you questions does not create an obligation on her part.....in college roommates get questions about other roommates by authorities all the time, it does not create any right or obligation.

Her rights to privacy, which is backed by Nigeria laws; overrides and trumps your inflated sense of entitlement to know.

That said, like I had earlier indicated...depending on the family dynamics, it is up to her to choose to disclose or not to disclose her where about. None of us know what happened that made her to choose not to do so, but it is her right.

Re-read my post, I did not say, I wouldn't say anything....neither did I say, I wouldn't be concern or declare them missing as the family did here.

What, am saying is that, the lady have the right to not inform anyone and she is not obligated to do so, but can do so out of courtesy & respect for her family if she so choose, especially if they are in good terms.

It is important to understand what someone is saying and not to impute words to them. If someone say, something is not 'black', it does not mean they are saying, the thing is 'white'....In real life there are neither black nor white, rather there are many shades of grey in between than you may know.

That is not true.

She can choose to inform them out of courtesy and respect....and that depends on the mutual dynamics and depth of relationship and friendship among all of the family members....the family have no right to know, as an adult, she is entitle to her privacy until she chooses to give them up.

Also, the family's desire to know and be informed does not create any obligation on her part. I understand the concerns on the part of the family and the emotional trauma she must have put them through by not keeping them in the loop; all of that are well intended and good, but that does not mean they have the right to be in the know.

ALL THE ONES CURRENTLY DEPLOYED IN THE US BY ATT, TMOBILE, ARE IMPORTED FROM CHINA, GERMANY AND SOUTH KOREA. THE US IS STILL WAY BEHIND OTHERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF 5G TECHNOLOGY
PLS POST FOR US TO SEE IF YOU HAVE CONTRADICTORY PROVE THAT THEY DO.
5G Technology is open source with 3gpp as the custodian of that technology and the US companies are chief contributors to that technology.

I believe you must be talking about 5G deployments and indigenous US 5G companies, which US does not have much of because, unlike China that the government can bank-roll a deployment, US is capitalist and profit based.

As far as 5G development is concern US is in the fore front, however labor cost have made off-shoring manufacturing a more attractive and profitable alternatives hence these components come from abroad.

The fact that my iPhone is imported from China does not mean China is ahead in iPhone technology. Economy of scale make it more logical to import it from China rather than manufacturing it locally in the US.

There were debates in the US around 2017 for the need for the US government to step in and deploy 5G using her huge financial power, just like is obtainable in communist China and it was decided against because they felt it will negate capitalism.

However, it means the US government have options to turn this around if they so choose, so I don’t see the lack of deployment as a disadvantage, it is a choice the US took, so that businesses and consumers can drive the technological deployments.

Before Covid-19, ventilators were mainly imported from China, but US invoked the Defense Authorization Act and ordered GE to start mass production, which they started doing. Which means, the technology was there all along, also the development was there....they were not just doing implementation because it makes no business sense to do so locally.
