MissRaine69:

This is the scenario
four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruplets, six sets twins and a number of single births.She actually had 44 children in total but lost some.
Nothing is standard in obstetrics by the way, you should know that right?

I was deceived by headline and reacted without reading through.

Obstetric ally impossible! If she achieved puberty at the earliet age of 13 and made babies consistently yearly, she would be 65yrs and menopausal for years, by the time she makes her 42nd child! Next please.
Politics / Re: "Happy To Be Home" - Nigerian Soldier With His Family After War With Boko Haram by Mbediogu(m): 11:19am On May 05, 2019
Look at such handsome family . . .
All that is needed to destroy the beauty and family's trust in God is just one well aimed bullet.
An Igbo soldier is not different from Aboki or Afonja soldier. They are all made in the image of God and deserve to live out their lives in His Glory.
THE POINT I AM MAKING IS THIS: IS THERE NO WAY TO END THIS DRAWN OUT WAR THAT IS CREATING WIDOWS DAILY AND DESTROYING FAMILIES?

There must have been mistake somewhere. Last time i checked life expectancy in Nigeria was 22 years.
SARS. Kidnappers / Armed robbers. Accidents from bad roads. Poor health care. Scarcity of food. Non payment of salaries. Increasing suicide rate. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Haba Naija!

JasonScoolari:
The UBEC chairman should not depend on the Nigeria police for his release, he should just pay the ransom and come out with his daughter alive.

This is the same Nigeria police who couldn't rescue two of their members from the hands of kidnappers, RATHER, they paid the kidnappers the ransom so that their colleagues can be released.

Under this lifeless administration, DO NOT put your trust on the Nigeria Police because in a couple of years, they'll be paying our Local Vigilante FEES to protect them at the barracks.

You seem to have forgotten that a good percentage of Nigerian Policemen are kidnappers while the rest are gearing up to join them.

If you tell the police the truth under such circumstances they will not come to the scene. They will tell you there is no available vehicle.
Next time tell them you saw some yahoo boys counting millions of dollars and pounds!
The whole police in that State will be mobilised to the scene. Try it and thank me later.

Crime / Re: Man Kills Father In Anambra, Sets Corpse On Fire by Mbediogu(m): 12:20pm On Apr 29, 2019
delishpot:
Too shook to make meaningful Comment. Why deny a woman the joy of omugwo na. Its a very big thing to do o. This silly attitude where people in power just impose their will on those under them is not a good thing.
A woman's love for her children will override any death threat.


Now to the topic....the son took a life, he should do the time. He can not prove that the old man killed his mother. Even if he can, justice is not his to serve.

Why deny a woman the joy of Omugwo? Because the man may have had a prophetic reason that she would not return alive but she stubbornly went and the prophecy was fulfilled. Now the foolish woman's death has also led to a wise man's death through a violent son who is more foolish than his mother. Nando people una well done!
Politics / Re: Gowon & Awolowo Immediately He Was Released From Prison In 1966 (Throwback Photo by Mbediogu(m): 8:49am On Apr 28, 2019
johntolu:

I am surprised you are holding a divergent view, from that held by your fathers, about Chief Awolowo's performance at the Federal government level.
Your fathers are of the belief that his singular masterstroke, as a non-military member, of the
Federal government, which he served, ended the mutiny by your fathers against the Nigerian state.
I can feel the pains and frustration of the Igbo Nation, after their misadventure of 67/70, which was brought to an end, by the tactical acumen of Chief Awolowo who, put an end to the feeding of the 'soldiers of the 'enemy of the Nigerian state.'
That singular act, according to your father's, broke the resistance of the Igbo Nation against the Nigerian state and not the guns of Muritala, The Black Scorpion or Obasanjo.

I don't respond to this kind of drunken emotional outbursts of regional bigots.
Who are 'your fathers'? I was of age and actually put in my quota during the war. If Awolowo was relevant, why did he serially lose to lesser people at Federal level and finally committed suicide by drinking 'otapiapia'?
Why did the Yorubas and your 'fathers' not vote for him? Did Obasanjo who is a reputed statesman and President at the time endorse him?
Why did your fathers Akintola and Justice Sowemimo connive with 'your masters' to jail him?
Visit the mirror. Idiat!

Officialgarri:


After independence , I think Awolowo had less relevance in Nigerian politics .

He was no doubt instrumental in the actualisation of an independent Nigeria but the moment Akintola kicked him out, he became a mere 2 or three time presidential aspirant who kept loosing before he went into retirement.


At regional level he was incomparable to any but at federal level, he was abyssmally pitiable.

Prelude to cattle ranches that are heating up Nigeria. The south does not use donkey for transport or meat. Northerners are wise.

I like guys that know their stuffs and are passionate about it and the facts sorrounding it. Johnie knows his stuff, I salute him!

I dont think he is rewriting history but I believe some aspects are mixed up with position in the timelines.

Nonetheless, Mrs Kuti was a quiet woman but very resourceful. She was not in public face but she bent public to take notice and yield to her advocacy.

The guy appeared to be a relation of the Kutis. He tendered names, dates and institutions seamlessly. He knows his onions.

You are joking, right?


She was the first female student of the Abeokuta Girls’ Grammar School, a Christian missionary school founded in 1908.

She took her Preceptor’s Examination at the School and taught there until May 1919 when she was sponsored by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) to study in England.


She studied domestic sciences, education, French and music at Wincham Hall College.
.
She returned to Nigeria after completing her studies in 1922 and taught at the Abeokuta Girls’ Grammar School from 1923 to 1924.

Her future husband, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti was an Anglican minister and the school’s principal at the time.

He later became the first president of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) from 1931 to 1954, the first multi-ethnic and nationalist association in the country.

He was also a human rights activist; and both he and FRK worked to end colonialism in Nigeria.

She was known throughout her career as an educator and activist. She organized literacy classes for women in the 1920s and founded a nursery school in the 1930s.

In 1942, she founded the Abeokuta Ladies’ Club (ALC) for educated women involved in charitable work.

She also started the Social Welfare for Market Women club to help educate market women (the first adult education program for women in Nigeria).

Along with Eniola Soyinka (her sister-in-law and the mother of Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka), she merged the ALC and the market women’s club to form the Egba or Abeokuta Women’s Union, which had a membership of over 20,000 women.

The core objective of the organisation was fighting against the arbitrary exercise of colonial power by the British-supported king of Egbaland, the imposition of taxes on women without granting them the right to vote and the attempt by the British to control markets run by women. Through this project, she also supported Nigeria’s independence movement.

She also oversaw the successful abolition of separate tax rates for women.

In 1953, the Egba Women’s Union became the Federation of Nigerian Women Societies, which subsequently formed an alliance with the Women’s International Democratic Federation and FRK was made World Vice-President in the same year.

She also received the national honor of membership in the Order of Nigeria in 1965.

The University of Ibadan bestowed upon her the honorary doctorate of laws in 1968.

In 1947, the Nigerian Union of Students led by her husband became the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), the party of the first Nigerian President Nnamdi Azikiwe. She became a key member of the NCNC as a result of her close association with its roots and led the women’s wing of the party.

Olatunde's version of tales by moonlite! There is no doubt the
Let's not re engineer history please. There is no doubt that the Yorubas especially the Egba and Ijebu stock have had great men and women from time immemorial but inserting and promoting new additions to the point of reality is what I stand against.


This is the latest version of our history.

Zik was a great man who believed in strategic alliance and deployment of intellect to pursue a course and achieve a goal. Ojukwu and Kanu would have gone to such a place with sub - machine guns and RPGs.

You people should stop laying on this forum. In what capacity did she do that? She was not educated, not a politician - just the wife of a catechist and market women leader who was conscripted to give the entourage a balanced look.
From being the first woman ever to drive a car (whose car? Even Bishops did not own cars then) I see her being pushed to level of national leader.
This is simply after effects of blues from the love of Fela's music, and I admit he played good music in his lifetime.

That means you area novice to law. The first thing that lawyers do is to frustrate any petition on technicalities before even the main substance of the matter is addressed. So ATIKU's camp must overcome that hurdle first. This is normal in law and is allowed.

What happens if the non qualification is discovered at the time of appeal? Will any judgment based on l false foundation be allowed to stand?

All that is required of INEC is to state their points (assuming they have one) and to ASSUME that the lawyer is duly licensed. Not being licensed is matter for appeal. INEC is a disaster.
