This is sad.

When a woman says "Im married", it serves as a cover of protection against any further inquiry, interest. Its supposed to be a full stop, do not cross the line!

Rape is not only physical contact, in societies that make protection of women rights a serious business, broad interpretation under the law would nail a man if he does not stop his advances after a woman says "im married".

Our law in Nigeria encourages sexual abuse of the female gender, from childhood until she is old and grey and her sexual appeal has faded.

Ambode is truly a Leader in a class of Leadership. He is going Next Level to Abuja.

Noticing how NASS members compete with their party for control of the Legislative Chambers it would not be bad idea for parties to include a Contract of Understanding prior to election and in which the interest of the party is clearly articulated. The candidate now has a freedom of choice to sign such contract and be binded to the directives of the party. Afterall the party was elected into NASS, not the individual.

If you can get a signature vote of about 2/3of residents in the electoral district you can write INEC, copy Lagos State House of Assembly, copy the Senator and HoR member for the district. As a courtesy, but not required, you should copy the LCDA and LG. Enumerate the barriers you face and its adverse effect to your electoral franchise. You must reference the applicable and relevant statutes of Law to prove your point. The earlier the better,if you can get it in before this current 8th Assembly is dissolved you could get redistricted before next general election in 2023. If the 9th Assembly is inaugurated before you get this to INEC, then your redistricting will not happen until after 2023.

MasterDreamz:
The panegyric for Twins in Yoruba land usually begins with "Ejire Ara Isokun...", so I'm wondering where is Isokun exactly located in yorubaland and why are the Ibejis(Twins) regarded as inhabitants of Isokun land?


I have searched online, was referred to Isokun in Shagamu and Ilesa...don't know the exact one!

Do a search for a guy named Imperial Yoruba, he talked about this in a thread on Yoruba and Origin. According to him the Isokun in this Oriki connects back many centuries to a Yoruba patriarch named Issac.

Imperial Yoruba your attention is needed here.

This must be the patriarch of Alex Akinyele, the politician.
May his soul rest in peace! Great work of honor and scholarship.

See Constitution. APC is majority in NASS and there should be no problem getting the consensus for INEC.

Amen!

omogidi234:
AMCON is a federal government agency saddled with buying back debt for banks. Once they buy back debt the collateral and liability become theirs.

So it is possible that Victorty Park is indebted to AMCON through buy back debt and as it were, the Land could be a debt buy back collateral.

Sometimes, such steps are addressed through lawyers and not social media.

Very good input indeed. Anyone that purchases land in Lagos, or anywhere in Nigeria for that matter without due dilligence to check registry and validate the land deeds with its correct survey markers and make certain the deed is free of any holding or claim is a were (insane person). I suspect this woman and her husband is in the were category for trying to sink material and money onto a land which deeds is signed to AMCON. This will be the equivalent of looking for an open land somewhere and start erecting structure on it before taking posession of the land. You cannot win the case in court if you complete the building and a stranger occupy it. Thats an avoidable loss.

The constitution says EXPLICITLY that members shall elect from amongst themselves a President of Senate and a Speaker of House.
The constitution did not give us definition of what it means by "election". This opens up an opportunity for interpretation. We also hear that members will vote for their leaders in NASS. The Party on the other hand says it will adopt a winner-takes-all attitude and has selected its candidates for the positions of Senate President and Speaker of House.

So how is election as stated in the constitution different from voting mouthed by NASS members and is different from selection adopted by the Party? Any thoughts?

Im out...

He dismissed Ogiso, dismissed Oba, when asked to narrate Edo social structure he said he is done! A 419 scammer!

Prolog,

How was your Edo structured socially? Stop digressing.

Guestlander dont go into foul language with him, he is trying tolure you into vioating rules and get a ban. Stay cool

prolog31:
It is like you just can't understand that the ogisos are a mere story! Your brain refuses to compute logics. You want me to basically go into a time machine and look for a period in which the Edo were not ruled by their King who holds the title Oba ? What guaranties that such a period exists ? In the fifteenth century, the Portuguese met the Oba in Benin city. You need to learn how to think and stop believing history is magic. Not everything which happened can be known. Making up stories to fill the void is the common option when education is scarce but in today's era you should at least realise those are mere stories, fictions to fill the void.

How was your Edo structured socially? Stop digressing.

I think Gbajabiamila will be adopted as Speaker without going to vote. APC only need 181 votes for Gbajabiamila to win the contest and they have over 220. With this wide margin Gbajbiamila has a much better chance becoming Speaker than does Lawan in Senate where the margin is narrow and a few outliers can change fortunes for Lawan becoming President in Senate.

prolog31:
go back and read what I wrote, I am tired of repeating myself. How many times must I say the igisos are fictional ? And nobody comes from your godforsaken ife ! It is not my fault you guys are stvpid

Ok, Ogisos are fictional...and you were not ruled by foreigners dispatched from Ife. I will give that to you and park it aside for now. We must hearr of indigeneous Edo achievements.


Tell us about Edo without Ogiso and Oba.

Who were Edos in their beginning, how did you live?

prolog31:
As I said, I believe only factual stuff, not fairytale...in case you didn't know, Santa and Hercules and Zeus and spider man are also fiction, they never existed alongside fictions like oduduwa and oranmiyan...
You guys are just too dumb my girl needse now, so f you

You have to start from somewhere to convince us that Edo was a civilized society without donations of Ogiso and Oba both from Ife.

Give us an indigeneous innovation that Edo created and used to rule over others whether via trade, military or dynasty.

Guestlander:
If Ogizo did not exist, when then did you get your Ekalederhan story?

Guestlander:
You keep mouthing logic and you are anything but logical.

Im shocked at his dismissal of Ogiso as the genesis of Edo relevance. They dump anything indigeneous and claim the fables whitemen wrote for them.

prolog31:
As I have already said right here, many many times, the ogisos are nothing but a story !!! They never existed ! Why do I constantly need to repeat myself ? It just dhows how desperate you guys are to claim Edo achievements and heritage, it is so sad you have no history and heritage

You can never dismiss Ogiso as the set of rulers responsible for organizing Edo into a society. Never!

In the days of ancient NOK civilization there was no place known as Bini.

Nok is a name approximation, deriving from a village of Gbagyis called Nok in which a treasure of TerraCotta heads were found. Nobody could explain how it got there or what it meant. Unable to explain its source it took the name of its host location and bacame known as Nok heads. An era of civilization was attached to it after studying the styling and technology of the craft, so the name Nok Civilization was adopted.

From dating and research it has been accepted as the most ancient and pioneer civilization in Nigeria, predating any other.

When the Ile Ife bronze heads were discovered scientists took interest in Ife and got permission to conduct a deeper field study and excavations. That work yielded a trove of more Terracotta heads in Ife and many other works of art and infrastructure made out of clay. Also a discovery of troves of rock salt carvings were discovered in Esie that looked exactly like the ones found in Nok except material was not clay. The Esies say they were people of Ife, they migrated out and settled in their current location Esie. Researchers have always believed the seat of Nok culture and civilization was South of the Gbagyi people. Ile Ife gained focus.

A study by a Russian anthropologist of Ile Ife and the Ogiso of Bini shared knowledge that Ogiso was a chiefdom sent from the seat of ancient civilization in Ife to rule over the people of Edo.

Red was a sacred color for the indigeneous civilization in Ife and the Ogiso introduced Red to Edo. Till today the Oba that rules over Edo wears Red.

A band of migrating Yorubas of the Canaan stock descended past the Sahara region looking for the seat of Nok. They went past all the various communitiea and kingdoms along the way until they arrived at Ife, seat of the ancient indigenous civilized people and gave them a new order of civilization headed by Oduduwa. So Ile Ife was first peopled by an indigenous population and the source of the Nok civilization. Oduduwa knew of them and came to live amongst them. His new order overthrew the ancient and overlaid it with the new Yoruba civilization. The sacred color of the Yoruba is Blue.

From Yoruba a second intervention took place in Edo that replaced Ogiso with Oba and gave them a new name Bini.

In all its history Edo had two state ruling eras 1) by Ogiso, 2) by Oba. They cannot claim any other greatness out of these eras and both are donations from Ile Ife. In fact Bini is the only civilization in Edoland, the Ogiso period was a dark age and no civilization is attributed.

TonyeBarcanista:
Let us see whether you have the numbers to foist such unpopular will on the National Assembly leadership. You will know that NASS Presiding Officers election is not APC primary.

Comment saved for followup in June.

By TonyeBarcanista

I have observed the lobbying and politics surrounding the race for National Assembly presiding officers and I think it is incumbent on me to air my opinion on why NASS members-elect, Peoples Democratic Party and Nigerians should resist Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila for the positions of Senate President and Speaker of House of Representative respectively.

1. Gbajabiamila Candidacy Is Against Equitable Distribution of Offices:
Having produced the Vice President of Nigeria, it becomes natural that another geopolitical zone in the country produce the number 4 citizen as it has been the tradition since 1999.

It may be recalled that at the return of the fourth republic, the Southwest produced the President, the Northeast had the Vice President, the Southeast had the Senate President and the Northwest produced Speaker of House of Representative and this arrangement lasted until 2007. Same tradition of equitable distribution was upheld in 2007-2011 when the Northwest produced the President, the Southsouth had the Vice President, the North central had Senate President while the Southwest had the Speaker through Patricia Etteh and Dimeji Bankole respectively. The arrangement was bound to be maintained until Aminu Tambuwal with support from the opposition as at then disrupted the arrangement, gifted the northwest 2 out of the 4 top offices and denied the Southwest and the entire south the position of Speaker. It however was restored in 2015 with NW (President), SW (VP), NC (Senate President) and NE (Speaker)

If those people in Bourdillon road that are fronting Femi Gbajabiamila candidacy were fair to the South and the nation, they would have presented someone from the Southeast or Southsouth for the position instead of another person from Southwest. The excuse that both zones didn't give APC ranking members or House members aren't tenable this time around.

Gbaja's candidacy is simply anti-south agenda by some sectional elements in Lagos. It is also anti-Nigeria agenda as it seeks to reward a particular zone with 2 out of the top for offices in the country leaving other 5 zones to scramble for 2 offices.

2. Gbajabiamila Candidacy Is Anti-Southwest:

The Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has Lagos has his political base and he's more loyal to Lagos than his native Ogun state. Femi Gbajabiamila is also of Lagos state and his puppeteers want to make him speaker, meanwhile, there are other APC Rep members in Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo states but they ignored them and narrowed it to Femi so as to serve their own selfish interest. These same people refused to support Hon Lasun the outgoing Deputy Speaker even though he's Yoruba all through his four years tenure simply because he wasn't their anointed. It clearly shows that contrary to what Femi sponsors would want the people of southwest to believe, they are pushing Femi to represent them not the zone.

3. Northcentral Or Dogara Should Get Speakership:
Personally, I believe equity demands that the position of Senate President or Speaker should go to a Rep member from either the Southeast or Southsouth zone, but since this may not be feasible due to political realities, I think the PDP, NASS members-elect and Nigerians should support a credible and independent person from the North central for the position, or if by slim chance Yakubu Dogara stand a chance, he should be supported. As stated above, it will be unpatriotic and evil to reward Southwest the position of Speaker when they have the office of Vice President while zones like Northcentral, Southeast and southsouth are left with nothing.

4. PDP Can Stop Ahmad Lawan SP Bid:

With forty one Senators-elect already, PDP need at least fifteen aggrieved more to defeat Ahmad Lawan, the unpopular anointed of the APC for the Senate President seat. Already aggrieved APC Senators-elect like Uzor Kalu of Abia, Ali Ndume of Borno and Danjuma Goje of Gombe and their supporters have vowed to challenge for the seat in June and with the traditional secret ballot system of voting. I have no doubt that PDP would either produce someone among them as Senate President or endorse one of the aggrieved as PDP adopted candidate. I will see how Lawan will emerge Senate President or whether Adams Oshiomole will be able to rig him in.

5. We Did It In 2015, We Can Do It Again

About four years ago, specifically, June 7, 2015, I, alongside loyalists of PDP, openly called on PDP leaders and NASS members-elect to counter the anointing of Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon Femi Gbajabiamila by voting for Senator Bukola Saraki and Hon Yakubu Dogara for the positions of Senate President and Speaker of House of Representative respectively! We triumphed against all odd. (Ref: https://www.nairaland.com/2362944/open-campaign-adoption-sen-saraki).

Our democracy is styled after the US model, except for Electoral College.

What you see now is our attempt to pilot the Electoral College model. Simple!

ElsonMorali:
She's right and Simi should apologize really.

It's total folly to keep using that derogatory line "Se mo ko'la ni?"

This is my first time hearing that phrase and it is cringe worthy. If anyone says that in my presence I'd wash their mouths out with detergent. They can fart bubbles all their lives for all I care. Iranu. I know lots of very intelligent tribal marked peeps.

And yes, the lady is pretty. She doesn't need jerk offs on Nairaland telling her otherwise.

Many people have tribal marks.

EmagNig:
Nigerian model with tribal marks on her face, Adetutu, has taken a swipe at singer Simi for talking about people with tribal marks in her cover of the trending #FvckyouChallange song.

Adetutu, in her reaction mentioned that Simi's choice to use the phrase: "sè mo kòlá ní" which literally can be translated from the Yoruba Language as Do I look stupid?, is quite derogatory.

She wrote:

Haba! Make them slow down na. That does not translate to stupid.

Se mo ko'la ni - can be translated to "do i look tattooed", or "do i wear tribal mark"?

nonsobaba:
Dankwambo didn't betray Atiku. The Gombe people were so determined to vote APC all through that they swept dankwambo out alongside other PDP candidates without thinking twice. Kwankwaso and Tambuwal are the traitors, no doubt. Now that Kwankwaso has lost kano, it is most likely going to be Tambuwal/Wike in 2023 if Wike survives the current situation in Rivers.

Even Wike worked against Atiku. People failed to pay attention when Wike was parading Sokoto frequently visiting Tambuwal and Sultan. Wike moved PDP Primary to his home turf to raidroall other conteatants and force a win for Tambuwal. When Atiku emerged the PDP loyalists werw not happy. He made it worse by picking another defector, not a party loyalist for VP.

If you teuly want to know who worked againat who, ask Gbnga Daniel.

The supreme court has upheld the judgement

The judgement for what? Foe the 8b naira or for the conversion of property?

. I would love to practice law in Nigeria. I see the people I will exploit to enrich my pockets.

PaChukwudi44:
This circular is mentioning a Federal high court order.I thought the innosson case has already been decided at the supreme court

It hasnt even been addressed bh an Appeal Court, not to mention Supreme Court. Its all hype!! Only fools believe in the nonsense

NothingDoMe:
It depends on if the bank is refusing to obey the supreme court order. If for instance you are indebted to me to the tune of 5K and you refuse to pay after a verdict in my favour, i am legally entitled to auction your car worth millions to get my 5k. That's also how banks recover their money.

So if truly Innoson got a verdict against GTB it would be wise for them to pay up.

Unless you first obtain a legal ruling giving the go ahead to impound my property for default, you are not legally authorized to convert my property to a debt i owe you ordinarily.

You guys do not understand the law of your land. Please dont go and try this nonsense with someone knowledgeable in law....you could end in prison for "theft by conversion".
