There's a difference please, theirs is consensual , the ladies actually want to get married unlike the Hausa that gives out their daughters without the daughters consent.

Who told you they don't consent to it?
Have you ever seen a Hausa/Fulani girl that said she was forced into a marriage? Or you talk base on the fake news you mostly read online?

Am not a Muslim or Hausa, but the way the southerners insult their northern counterparts, you'll think they are not also guilty of this same act. It's wrong for a 15 years old to get married but it's not wrong for a 15 years old to fvck different d!cks, that's according to the southerners.

Hypocrites everywhere.

I am with you on this

Aunty,

There is no difference if it is NOT within the ambit of the law.

funmisticqueen:
in essence you want him to put someone else's daughter to subjugation and poverty so you can claim man of the house.

Op, there is no pressure to marry, if you are complaining about bills then you are not as financially. stable as you would have us believe. Sending her to school is something you ought to do because you want to with no strings attached, not because you want to marry her, if you marry her now, she won't have enough experiences to upgrade her life, she will always be your shadow. But then that is what you want.

If you can't wait for her to mature a little, then you don't really love her at all. let her choose you, don't pressurize her

Ok. Slow down madam, I think you've mixed some things up
1. The primary issue is that the guy want's to settle down, not that he wants to educate the girl. Life is complicated at times and present this kind of chicken-egg situation.
2. Pragmatically speaking, it is the responsibility of the girl's parents to send her to school and not the guy's. If he does it, then he's either magnanimous or "investing"; I guess that is why some people with deep introspection sees it as a gamble, if they are not married.
3. I am curious about what you mean by "she won't have enough experiences to upgrade her life" ... Like she would be uneducated? She would not experience school life? or lemme think otherwise, like she would not be "sampled" by other boyfriends? She will not be free to attend parties? I can't think of what she will miss, if she will be educated. She will compete with all her peers on equal footing, she may probably loose a year or so when she goes to put to bed (and may not, if she's strong). Check this! She could probably end up being more "upgraded" than all her peers in 10-20yrs time.
4. On #3 above let me give you few classic examples.
a. Kanu Nwankwo married Amarachi when she was 18. Amarachi is an Architect today (studied in England)
b. Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde was wedded at 18. In fact was in Yaba Tech when my junior brother was there years back. Omotola think dropped 2x....we all know how "upgraded" Omotola is today
c. Ijeru Aghahowa was in my wife's class back in University (Year 2/3 Law) when she got married. I think today she probably runs one of the biggest supermarket in Ikoyi - ("upgraded" +)
d. Tara Fela-Durotoye was in class with them. She also got married in school.... - "Upgraded" +++

I don't think any of these women live in there husband's shadow.....they are holding their own grounds and doing well.

Babamide:
Bros, marriage should be between two matured people. I'm pretty sure you are after the girl because she is still innocent and you feel you can control her. Educating someone does not give you the right to marry her. Let her be. Look for someone older with whom you can build together.

....and you came to the conclusion how?

SageMK:
Tread carefully. A lot of guys have taken this path only to see it backfire. I am not against you sponsoring her bills but don't be surprise to see her leave for another guy.

So I suggest you marry her first, establish a trade for her and then put her through school. But if you can't do this then let her go. Don't tie yourself down to a burden.



You shouldn't even be complaining about this. You don't get to earn their trust simply because you are financially stable. Sex predators come in different from. Her parent shouldn't even allow her to visit you in the first place.

Very matured response

HitSong:
30 years old chasing after 18 years old child...
You're a pervert! Just like NED
What about all those girls of your age group that you fuckéd back then, who are you leaving them for to marry now?
Now you've seen a young beautiful virgin that you want to devour abi?
Will you give out your daughter at 18?
Karma will play out on the females in your life too...
Ẹ̀gbọ́n leave that small girl alone and Goan hustle.

Pervert? Don't use harsh words to judge him, especially when you're the ignorant one here. 18yrs is the legal benchmark age to be an adult. 18yrs is permitted to get married. You can argue the age-margins, which in itself is relative

Rita30:
Is she not too young at 18?
Will you like marriage for your daughter at 18?

According to the Law, at 18, she's a full-fledged adult and can be legally married.

GT07115:
Hi peeps, I am in love with an 18 years old lady who is from a very poor background as mine, I will be 30 this year and I intend settling down maritally this year or early next year, I would have loved her to gain admission before doing anything marriage with her.

I have discussed going back to school with her and getting a trade along, by her consent to it I have gave her money to enroll for jamb and NECO exam which will make her secure admission this year, the jamb result is out and OK pending NECO exam which will start next week.

My problem is the parent are financially handicapped to contribute a dime to her education and we are not married that means the whole stuff is on my head, I would have loved to marry this year if she was already in school or a graduate, I am the first son with responsibility of putting my younger ones through school. I feel I will be shouldering a lot of responsibility, the relationship is just one way sided and the parents don't give a breathing space whenever she spends some hours late in my house, like reminding me we are not married, the whole thing is that I love her, she is a lady I can talk to, and very young and beautiful.

Triple your hustle! Simple

I had posited in the past that INEC will find it difficult to spin this one. It stands logic on the head that you announce a winner (declaration) and then claim "under duress". The the REC not know the meaning and context of "Declaration of winner" under the law? That INEC withheld Okorocha's Cert is even ridiculous. There is nowhere in the law that stipulates that INEC can "cease" a certificate of return.

ElChidi:
Court gave the order just after Okorocha visited Aso Rock to meet with Buhari. Useless country.

Na only "JUST AFTER"? You forgot to say "while Okorocha and PMB were in the bedroom"

ipain:
what happened to the promised they made to Nigerian that they have not even fulfilled but already promising another 20Million jobs... not like I need their job anyway... i create my own job. no time.

Q: What happened to the "promise" they made to Nigerians that they have not even fulfill?
A: I don't know
Reality - They have fulfilled many. They are fulfilling many other. They will not fulfill everything.

C'es la vie

20million job?

I think it's overtly ambitious too. But I believe the quest comes based on the current realities that unemployment is growing and population is outpacing GDP.

ipain:
lol... just to shut Obasanjo up... that is the technique always deployed... whenever such happens, they look for past failed promises to activate,while abandoning their own promise to Nigerians since 2015.

Then we should pray that there continue to be reasons to "shut Obasanjo and past leaders up". Meanwhile, last year when a similar 22yr old promise made to Bonfere Jo was fulfilled, who were they trying to shut up then?

he Federal Government will on Wednesday fulfill its long time promise to the former Super Eagles Coach, Bonfrere Jo for winning the Olympics football gold medal in Atlanta 1996.

wizzywisdom:
In as much as I hate Buhari, his administration has touched lives of many forgotten people. He's Baba go slow no doubt but slowly he has show loved for many that were once forgetten!!!

and you hate him?

ugkk:
Where is the house?

I presume you have legs shey? take am waka go Abuja and ask....

Staro:
APC and propaganda are one and the same thing.
It's unfortunate a country's president gets so deeply involved in propaganda.

By right, a president should only speak FACTS.
Citizens should be able to take their president's words to the bank.
In Nigeria, the opposite is the case.

I remember recently when president Buhari kept playing up the issue of Obasanjo spending $16b on power.
I mean, this is a country's president with access to every record and knows deep down his heart that there was never a $16b anywhere spent on power

Hey,

have you heard of "herd-instinct"?

I suggest you do your own findings before ventilating on another man's baseless submission....

Shikini:
Politicians will always be politicians. They are all the same from president, governors, Assembly men, ministers (non-technocrats), ruling party to opposition party. The Nigerian version of a 'Politician' appears worse because of our penchant for deceit and outright lies with intention to blackmail or pass the buck.

12) May 27, 2019: President Buhari signs 2019 budget
https://punchng.com/breaking-buhari-signs-2019-budget/

*** My OBSERVATION: The 2019 budget spent exactly 4 months and 13 days with NASS ( Dec 19, 2018 - May 2, 2019). How the president arrived at 7-months is unclear. Besides, submitting a budget to NASS on December 19th few days into Christmas/New Year recess was very late. The executive should have been more proactive or 'patriotic' by submitting the budget much earlier (say September 2018) knowing the first quarter of 2019 was already locked down for general elections.

You went through all these needless stress for nothing. Is it that your comprehension went on holidays or you came from Mars., or you're willfully deceptive. A simple google search would have saved you of this needless pseudo intelligence (or should I call it "fart-check"

President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the 2018 appropriation bill containing the year’s federal spending details as approved by the National Assembly.[Date =20th June 2018]

Mr Buhari signed the budget at about 12 noon on Wednesday inside his office at the presidential villa Abuja.

The total budget is N9.1 trillion, up from the N8.6 trillion estimates he submitted to the Assembly on November 7, 2017.

I leave you to do the math....or do you want to "fart-check" that too?

AMAECHI is a fool no single project from your ministry in the south South and South East

Amaechi gave them the largest, the most expensive and job-creating rail project in Nigeria worth $12 billion, but what have the elected officials from that region done to promote and actualize that project? Nothing. This is the same project they did everything in their power to frustrate and even remove from the table and budgetary proposal by the Amaechi.

Are the governors, reps and senators from that region talking about the project? No. Are the people in that region putting pressure on their leaders to promote and push the project forward? No.

You took these words from my mouth. What should have been Rivers' gain is now the gain of Nigeria......and Rivers' loss. How could Riverians allow Wike to sell them crap on the Mono-Rail project up to the point of abandoning it? How can a whole people be collectively foolish? Other cities develop faster with a multi-modal transport system in which Rail is key

........ but what do I know? Riverians may be immuned to genuine development

Teacher1776:
Who benefits from this policy? The consumers or the manufacturers of the cylinders?
What are the problems created by the existing practice?
And by the way who are the cylinders makers bid to benefit from this arrangement? We need to know them.

1. First off, there is a problem brewing in the downstream domestic Gas (LPG) distribution sector. According to stats, we are about to have glut (over-supply) in the market.
2. Ironically, domestic gas penetration is very low. Why? few factors namely (a) cost of acquisition of Gas Cylinders. Simply put, if you tell Mama Nkechi to buy a Cylinder for N11,500 (while she's yet to buy gas in it) when she can buy Kerosine for N200 and get to cook her food, How do you explain to her that Gas is the cheaper and long-term sustainable option? (b) people still use firewood and Charcoal to cook. How do you tell the average house-hold that they need to free up wood for more value extraction and export; and that charcoal is dirty fuel?
3. If house-holders can be eased of the burden of acquiring gas cylinders, then they can buy gas in quantums they can afford, even as low as N500. To bridge this problem, govt is incentivising the manufacturers of cylinders , to allow them manufacture larger volumes and recoup their monies over time. (check the works of NCDMB and BOI)
4. Problem with existing practices? (a) Not enough scale (Gas cylinders in circulation are damn too small) (b) Many of the Cylinders are sub-standard and some need to be certified safe for domestic use (c) with not enough cylinders, we are likely to have glut in the market soon. If this happens, we will resort to flaring.
5. Cylinder Manufacturers benefits? Local sufficiency, jobs and local capacity to develop our Gas sector

Trust me this is still a long journey, but a worthy endeavour

A lot of immature people here.

Public Relations is about real life and not abstract things.

Part of the problems of our university system is that it graduates people who are unable to handle the real world outside of the university walls.

The lecturer is preparing the students to solve real world problems.

He did well

Not only immature, worse still a lot of commenters have neither passed their JAMB exams nor seen the four walls of a university. Talking about mentally lazy youths, they only saw "Chruchillz" & "Tanny" and went to town with foolish assertions, oblivious of the fact that the central focus of the case is

Churchillz approaches your Public Relations agency and consults you. His image is at stake, His organisation is down. He need your expertise.

Why won't many of them struggle to pass JAMB, WAEC and School exams? Then they start passing the bulk, blaming Prof. Oloyede, Govt and their ancestors.....

Mass communication! The course has something to do with Public Relations (PR) .

Our questions are designed like this. Even abroad.

What if a mass comm graduate goes for an interview in a PR firm and he/she is presented with a case like this, will you call the interviewer a joker?

Madam,

The pattern of comments on this topic continues to highlight the fact that NL is regressing in average intelligence. You can imagine the ignorant ridiculously posited

No wonder they say Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

comshots:
So na this kind exam graduates wan take go find work?No wonder they say Nigerian graduates are unemployable.

If you did not read and understand the question well enough, then the joke is on you; the joke is on many of you who could not comprehend an exam question that addresses an opportunity for public relations. Meanwhile the lecturer stayed within legal limits by not using the real names of the actors involved.

GreyLaw:
Indeed we are becoming emotional when we begin to infer from where Saraki made his money from. I doubt that we are wiser than the court from the CCB up to the supreme court. Saraki showed evidence of constant financial remittances from sales of rice and sugar. Whether it's true or not is left for the court to decide. They decided and said it's true.

We are not here to be judge's over the moral standing of anybody. If we were to do that then all of them from the various presidents to the least LG chairman are all criminals!

Excellent point you mentioned that dealing with corruption does not deter investors. I must note, however, that the VP clearly stated that the FG could confiscate your properties without any corruption allegation tied to you. While this is true, the outside world looks on and are not blind to what's happening in Nigeria. How does a Saraki, whom the supreme court acquitted, get to have same properties that were subject to investigation seized on flimsy grounds, while the Gandujes and Amaechis, and Tinubus, and Kyaris, and Babangidas, and Jonathans, and Obasanjos go Scot free?

The outside world simply knows that any day someone in government isn't happy with you they can easily confiscate your properties, and even when you go to court and win, the FG can hold onto said properties without having to explain to anybody.

We can hate Saraki all we want, but Magu and his EFCC are confused.

1. You introduced Saraki, not me. You are the one making a case for him where he is not the central focus. I asked you not to get emotional, because Saraki+rice+sugar+whatever is not relevant in the validity of this law. The interpretation of this law to mean scaring away investors is what I find ridiculous.
2. The focus of this topic is on the position of the law wrt unexplained assets and wealth. The law is good and will help the society. A law is a law. It is not invalid because it "favours" a Tinubu and not a Saraki. This is a law set out to prevent, deter and punish criminal acqusition of wealth and properties. That is what it is
3. You refer to the outside world. In "The Outside World"(US & Europe), unexplained wealth laws are in full force. The outside world had been watching us from time immemorial; they've seen and are appalled at how our citizens acquired unexplained wealth, bring it into their countries, buying luxury properties and Yatches, Jets etc. For example, the UK is currently probing a 15m Euros undeclared property linked to Saraki.. ask yourself, why should someone have a property that the he or she cannot explain the source?

PFRB:
What if you are the wife of a president who could not afford 20 million to buy his party's nomination form but you are wearing a wrist watch of 45 million and carrying a hand bag of 15 million. Now the son of this same president smashes a power bike that is worth 55 million . How can you
explain that? Can these people explain the source of all that wealth?

1. The Wife and Son of the president are not covered by immunity. The law says they can be called to explain the source of their wealth.

2. Meanwhile, do you know the wife of the president had been an entreprenuer and the Managing Director of her businesses before the husband became president. I guess if she's requested to prove the source of her wealth, she can show through the business and financial records of her businesses. As for her son, if he can show proof that he's a dependant and his mother bought it for him (for example), then he should have no problem.

GreyLaw:
That guy you quoted made a valid point. You are also correct in your assertions, but the truth remains that Nigeria is hell in every sense of the word from lack of electric power , to insecurity, to a failing economy, to every other ill experienced in this country.

Now add the above to the VP telling the world that your assets could be seized without corruption allegations. Yeah, give the investors more reasons not to come. Why should they invest in a country that disrepects the rule of law?

Using Saraki's case as an example, that case went from the CCB all the way up to the supreme court, with the man proving with documents that he made his money from proceeds of sales of rice and sugar. He won his case! Now a confused EFCC chairman is going after same properties that were deemed okay by all the court's in the country.

If you were an investor seeing all these would you invest in such a country that brazenly disregards the courts?

First and foremost, fighting corruption does not detter investors. There is no data that supports that assertion. If I may add, FDI had increased post 2019. Any "investor" that cannot come until we "stop fighting corruption" is not an investor

2. Equating the supposed state of Nigeria as a reason not to implement an already existing law is tantamount to leaving in denial.

3. Saraki still has cases to answer. He made his money selling what? Let's not get emotional, else I'll ask you to tell that the families of those who lost their monies in SGB. But that said, the point here is that the laws says unexplained assets be explained or forfeited, what is wrong in that?

gnykelly:

helinues: Under which law sir?

Your money and your passport can be withdrawn from you.. It belongs to your government... It is written clearly at the back of your passport

Under this law

“The Supreme Court in a lead judgment of Akaahs JSC, recently held that forfeiture under Section 17 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act is a civil process, which neither requires the criminal conviction of the property owner nor his innocence,” he said.

“This opens the door for forfeiture of assets that the purported owner cannot explain, whether or not an allegation of corruption is made,”Osinbajo explained

@Rolams,

You just sounded like someone whose only "evidence" to a claim of ownership of a parcel of land is that his father "was buried on the land". I beg of you, if you have any "hard-earned" properties, make you put all record in order and in safe-keeping, so that if "big-brother" comes, you take them do "yanga"

tommyken:
Nigeria economy will go down the more with this statement, investors and big entrepreneurs will be scared to invest in the country.

This party is an enemy of progress

That means you don't understand what this statement means. Check the following examples

1. You are a university student, your father is a civil servant or modest jobs, your mother is a petty trader, yet you drive flashy cars around and live in posh apartment.
2. Your total income (from the day you started working to date) according to ALL RECORDS is XNaira, Yet you have a house worth X^5 Dollars.
3. You are a Civil Servant or Appointed politician. You are expected to declare your assets. Some other properties (not declared) were found or linked to you.
4. A random Rolls-Roys, Porshe or Ferari and the likes was cruising on Lekki expressway or Maitama. Police ran the number plates on the computer and discovered a random guy with no defined means of livelihood.

All these are much more can be seized. The position of the law states that they will be seized until you can explain how you came about them. That is what Osinbajo means. Do you need the law that backs it up? read below

“The Supreme Court in a lead judgment of Akaahs JSC, recently held that forfeiture under Section 17 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act is a civil process, which neither requires the criminal conviction of the property owner nor his innocence,” he said.

“This opens the door for forfeiture of assets that the purported owner cannot explain, whether or not an allegation of corruption is made,”Osinbajo explained.

Bros,

Unfortunately, the reality of Nairaland is that it is laced with i.diots. Everyone with a modicum of a brain knows that standard practice all over the world is that you explain the source of your "unexplained" asset or wealth. Here on Nairaland, it takes a f.o.o.l to start on a foolish trajectory, then bang! i.dioitas will be let loose
