Nice, this fixes all the problems!!. Another gymick to excite the average Nigerna

When a governement cannot gaurantee safety and protect its people, then one can delcare that we have no government at all. The Nigerian government has failed nigerians

@Gbawe, I wouldnt take note of Kobo's comments. I cannot understand how anyone can take pleasure in what is happening, especially as there gppd people back hoem who rely on that money to get by

Very sad, because this kind of thing happens all over Nigeria, kids beaten indiscrimately for very stupid reasons, but then again, so safe guards in place, another sign of failure by the government

A CLASS-two pupil of Asamakama Primary School at Offinso in the Ashanti Region has developed a swollen hand after he was allegedly caned severely by his teacher.

The young boy, Nuru Ibrahim, 9, allegedly suffered the severe injuries on his left hand when he was whipped by one Amoako Samuel, his class teacher.

Narrating his ordeal to DAILY GUIDE, young Ibrahim said about three weeks ago, Mr. Amoako whipped him in front of the entire class for being absent from class the previous day.

He explained that his father was travelling to Kumasi on that fateful day and since nobody was in the house, he asked him to stay at home and take care of his younger brother.

I bet you Jesus would have invited the poor, the lame, the beggers, and the downcast in society.

Simple, the values of the olden days and different from the values of today. Not to say that the values of today are better than the values of years gone by. I would argue that the meaning of marriage today has been so distorted selfishly, that is some cases it loses the meaning entirely. No wonder people divorce today for what ever reason suits them

Good move, but what will be the end result? have they put things in place that will ensure swift and credible investigations take place? Good move, but I am not holding my breath

Listen guys, Fashola has a point. Let's not forget that the so called best institutions in our country from primary to Uni are the private ones which a lot of investment have gone into and charge premium rates as well.

The UK recently increased tution fees from £3k to £9K. same argument, if you one your institutions to compete on a global scale, you have got to make the investments.

Now, I do accept the increment is not in line with minimum wage or within the common mans reach, and that is why he should have Put up a programme of students loans or assistance before the hike

@LOVE.4BUG,

By virture of Oga being the one that pays the maids bill, she is likely to say she submitted willingly. I seriously doubt she would own up to being intimitated into it, we all know what the consequence would have been.

By the way, my point being the maid was in a very vulnerable position, as they always are in Nigeria , and Oga took advantage of it. Now no one has said anything about the potential seriousness of a failed D&C, all because we want to save Oga's skin.

Like I say it is unfortunate, because the same drama is playing out in so many homes in the Nigeria, and really no one is talking about safeguarding maids that are in this sort of position.

We all know what happened to Dominique Struass Khan when he used his position to sexually harrass the chambermaid, but not in Nigeria

Truth be said, whilst there might be a slight case of temptation here, I think the bigger question here is that this damn thing is far too common in our society. Just another symptom of the rot.

Most likely this happened, becuase Oga used his position to more or less intimidate the girl into submission. Is there a case for sexual harrassment?

We talk about the Temptation of the Man, what about the harrassment of the maid? There is no clear indication that she willfully gave into this

Again, what about his marriage? did it not matter enough to him for him to have kept clear. After all it was based on choice that his wife was not available. I really hate it when anyone tries to justify cheating, especially when the vunerable maid is involved

@ Poster, where is the meter located? and why are Nepa stalling installing a seperate meter for you guys?

This s=is really bad though, why are liek this to each other. Sometime we Nigerians can be very inconsiderate. This is very wicked, so in the process of the chap not paying his bill, he takes you down with him. I really dont think this is an issues for you are your husband to shy away from. You husband must confront it head on, if the co-tenant does not care about your welfare, then really you shouldnt have a problem doing what is right. Please tell you husband to grow balls and confront the issue

I am lost for words, but not suprised. We really do not have a government in Nigeria and Delta state in particular. There is no other way to describe this than PURE EVIL

@Sabastina, I provided a link in the original post

Listen guys. I am a die-hard critic of the falling system in our country, but we must recognise some good and take positives out of them. The job is far from done, but it si encouraging to see that there has been a slight shift in outside perception, it can only be a good thing for all Nigerians. However, the real cleanup job has not even started

, (Reuters) - In the 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index, New Zealand came first, with Denmark and Finland tying for second place. Sweden was fourth with Singapore dropping to fifth in 2011. Norway came sixth. All the top six had a score of 9.0 or above.

Germany came in at 14th, one notch better than 2010 and tied with Japan which came in 17th in 2010. The United States ranked 24th in 2011, two notches lower than 2010. China ranked 75th, three notches higher than in 2010.

The 2011 index ranked 183 countries by their perceived levels of public sector corruption. The index also assigns scores of between one and 10, one being highly corrupt and 10 incorrupt.

Here is a list of the 15 most corrupt nations:

@Blink182,

How do you judge that?

Even Berlusconi knows when to leave. Look at that Ugly Shiet Uduaghan, he would rather wreck the whole of Delta state than let people with Ideas in. The Black Man is Truly Wicked. I the midst of poverty and filth, he was busy using state fund to celebrate his daughters wedding yesterday

@Kayode, you have a point, it is a Nigerian thing. Our deep love for money is clouding any sense of good judgement or morality we might have. Dont forget what the men get upto. Terrible

Yes, he is appealing. It amazes me that Uduaghan would do anything to hold onto power, including holding the enitre Delta state hostage. He is the only Phucking kunt who thinks there is something worth celebrating in Delta state

Justice, may take time, but will surely prevail

compare. In the UK a councilor was stripped of his victory and kicked out of the Labour party because he used false information about his opposition on his election material. That is Justice.

In Nigeria, a Governor supports the falsification of election results, he is hailed a Hero and a sham election declared in his favour, even by the corrupt to the core judicial system. Where is the common man expected to seek Justice. Yet we claim democracy exists in Nigeria

no i didnt, please read through my posts again

I think the last elections would be a good starting point for you. Did Nigerians really have a free fair and credible elections? Are those who got into office by what ever means doing what people expect them to?

Defintely none. But as nigerians we are masters of self deceit

I think both sides of the argument have points, but again the main let down here is the Government, once again. I often challenge a lot of my good friend who are top consultants in the UK and US to return back home and help, but believe me the story is not as straightforward as we all think.

Good friend (Top doctor), returns home to go give his time (6months) free of charge to help introduce and imprive better working practices. Within 4 weeks of the good work he was doing in a top University teaching hospital, he got summoned in by one of the senior managers and was told to not to and mess with thier tactics. and in the process they tried to fustrate him, he just packed his things are retruned back to the US.

Yes the money in medicine is good, but most would tell you they would want an environment where they can have a fullfilling career with great prospect for progression.

I wonder why people always think the principal issue here is tribe. just forget it. If uduaghan was performing and doing well, I can assure you no one will care what part of the state he comes from. He just has not done well period

Nice, it is about time the goverment starts growing balls of steel and using it, but they must calculate well, so this doesnt come back to bite us in some other way

@beaf,

I trust you would know much about ass, after all the ass-licking you have been doing. And for what? scraps, better be careful oh, shey you know your master doesnt pay, he is owing contractors everywhere. It is a pity that your wicked conscience has not pricked you to abandorn your evil ways. You are quite happy to see your own state remain the way it is, whilst you go an critisize other better working governors.

I keep reminding you, go and find a proper job, this your vulture lifestyle cannot help you when things start working in Nigeria. Your likes would become exticnt

@Beaf,

Call me what ever you like, but I am not an asslicking kunt like you. Govnor don pay you money finish to betray your soul. Everyone knows once that thick skull of yours runs out of common sense you start accusing others of things you are guilty of.

Simple question, point out where I stoked up quarel with others, you cant so you resort to your usual back-street alley, gutter behaviour
