Brendaniel: How did Farotimi commit cyber crime against Afe Babalola?
How did Angela Okorie commit cyber bullying against Mercy Johnson? Are you asking this question? These cases have been viral online. Do a quick check: Farotimi published that Afe used his influence and wealth to buy favourable judgements from the Supreme Court, etc; Angelo repeatedly accused Mercy of witchcraft. These are heavy accusations tantamount to 'murder' without cocking a gun, especially as the plaintiff is able to established that such publications (libel or slander) has done a damage to their image in the sight of right-thinking persons. |
Celebrities › Re: Police Arrest Angela Okorie Over Cybercrime Case Involving Mercy Johnson by mrBlunt(m): 2:30pm On Jan 28 |
Brendaniel: I just see this as Legal bullying, if you claimed somebody defamed you, you charge the person to court, let it now be that the person is rejecting court summons, then the court effects an arrest but...
You find out with legal bullying that happens a lot in Nigeria, it is the other way round, you claim someone defamed you, you arrest an detain the person before taking the person to court, haven't you already judged and sentenced the person before allowing the person to defend himself with evidence of his/her claim against you and you see some Nigerians here supporting this legal bullying...
I will list cases here for example:
1. Afe Babalola vs Farotimi - Legal Bullying
2. Mercy Johnson vs Angela Okorie - Legal Bullying
3. Peter Obi vs Adeyanju - Legal process
4. Erisco vs The pregnant woman - Legal Bullying
If we are to go by the examples listed above, to me, only Peter Obi followed the right process and has shown good leadership example among these people listed in that regard, even the Lady in the United States that accused Macron of marrying a man was not arrested, she was only charged to court and she said she will defend it with facts, same with those calling Michelle Obama a man, have you ever seen anyone of them arrested for doing that? Highest if Obama is angry, he will charge them to court, let it now be that the the court decides to arrest them. Mercy has not actually done anything illegal in getting Angela arrested. She has taken advantage of the provisions of the law, as defamation can either be civil or criminal under the Nigerian law. Moreover, cyberbullying also falls under a definition of cybercrime in our laws, which makes it a crime against the State. It was based on this same provision that Afe babalola had Farotimi whisked from Lagos to Ekiti, yet Farotimi (as a lawyer himself) could not refute it or win the case. If people had not begged for him, he was going straight to prison. Law no be social media o. Law is law whether we agree or not. Why will people take pleasure in malicious slandering and bullying of people online and when you now go for them legally, they cry? O wrong now. if you have been a victim, you will know how painful and depressing this can be. It kills. |

Delat521: They are not coming out against us as they do today. They are more defending conscious with us than they do with Senegal.
If they come out seriously like this against us, we would have wipe them silly. They always backtracked and choke their mid field whenever we had balls to prevent us from attacking because that's where we orchestrated many of goal courtesy of Iwobi.
I pray Senegal win this match, Moroccanare not rock solid as really champ just being favoured by home and referee advantage That's true. I agree with you. They didn't come all out against us, so their back was not open for our forwards to breathe. |

The way Ivory Coast played against them was like they ain't interested in going on. Anyway, an all West-African final and an all North-African 3rd place face-off is what I am betting on. |

It was ball to hand at close range, and Semi's arm was in a somewhat natural position by his movement, not that he raised his arm when the ball was approaching him.
Besides, we were also denied a goal in the first half, when Bassey's cross crossed the line at the far post. Goal line technology would have decided that easily. CAF needs to have that in place for this important competition.
Finally, the stat cleared all doubts. Come on! Nigeria outclassed and outplayed the Foxes, who recorded 0 shots on target. |

YourGFsnatcher: I'm a mathematician. I understand statistics. If 89% if the 20% stay in lagos. Then explain how over 50% again live in Abuja. If 89% of the top 20% live in lagos. Then that lives only 11% scattered all over the country. How is fct having over 50% when lagos alone has 89% of the 20%.,? I know what I'm talking about You still don't get it. If the population of Nigeria is 250million, and 20% of that represent the wealthiest people in Nigeria (say Nigerians making anything above 100million Naira annually), that is 50million people. If out of the 50million wealthiest Nigerians, 17.8million live in Lagos and total population of Lagos is 20million, then, although 35% (that is 17.8m/50m x %) is Lagos share of the total national figure, 89% (that is 17.8m/20m) of Lagosians are among the wealthiest in Nigeria. The same goes for all other States and the FCT. I hope you understand now. |

YourGFsnatcher: The north cannot be in that But I'm still confused with the start. Does is mean that 89% of the top earning 20% of the people in Nigeria live in lagos, or 89% of lagosians fall within the top earning 20% of Nigerians? Pls explain It means the total number of Lagosians that are among the top 20% of Nigerian biggest earners is equivalent to 89% of Lagos State population. You will see that this is not rocket science, Lagos is where the biggest earners in all sectors (white collar, blue collar, business, trade, etc.) reside. |
Business › Re: States Where The Wealthiest 20% Of Nigerians Can Be Found by mrBlunt(m): 7:57am On Oct 28, 2025 |
YourGFsnatcher: What kind of Statistics is that? The data is not right. You said 20% of wealthiest Nigerians, yet you have 89% of the 20% living in lagos and other 70%, 50% etc living in other places. That doesn't make sense. Check that data again It's correct. The stat shows the share of each state's residents who fall within the bracket of the highest income people in Nigeria (20% of all resident Nigerians). This means Lagosians have the most high income people in Nigeria, followed by Abuja, Edo, and so on. This list is consistent with other stats we know already. So I am surprised that people are expecting Northern states, where poverty, low quality of life, subsistent livelihood are endemic and there is a wide gap between the few wealthy and the poorest of the poor, to be in the top 12 list. Come on now! You don't need any stat for you to know that the most people doing well generally in Nigeria are the Southern part of the country. |

Foreign Affairs › There Will Be Only Male And Female In The US - Donald Trump by mrBlunt(op): 11:28pm On Jan 20, 2025 |
Donald Trump executive orders shortly after he was sworn in to change the US government's policies on gender and diversity, following through on promises he made on the campaign trail.
He rolled back orders from the Biden administration that the Trump White House called "unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal Government."
Two of the orders he revoked included a Biden directive aimed at preventing discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, and another that addressed "racial equity and support for underserved communities."
He also signed an order desgnating two genders only - male and female – and declaring that they cannot be changed.
"As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female," Trump said during his inaugural address earlier on Monday.
Trump has made wider promises about what conservatives decry as "woke" culture, gender and diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) progammes.
An administration official said the executive order would "end DEI inside the federal government", cutting funding to DEI programmes across all agencies and including a review of offices renamed because of DEI initiatives.
Several large US companies have ended or scaled back their DEI programmes since Trump was elected, including McDonald's, Walmart and Facebook parent company Meta.
Others, like Apple and retailers Target and Costco, publicly defended their existing programmes.
DEI supporters see the programmes as a way to correct lingering discrimination based on race, sexuality and other characteristics.
The idea received renewed attention in the wake of racial justice protests after the murder of George Floyd in 2020.
However, the landscape around diversity programmes has changed since 2023, when the US Supreme Court banned US universities from considering an applicant's race as part of their admissions process.
The policy, known as affirmative action, was intended to counteract historic racial and ethnic disparities in higher education.
Trump's return to power coincided with growing criticism from the right and religious conservatives of the expansion of transgender rights in the US.
Trump espoused a traditional view of gender throughout the 2024 campaign, and he and his allies attacked Democrats for supporting transgender rights.
Project 47, the official policy platform for the Trump campaign, promised to cut federal funding for "radical gender ideology" as well as "inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children."
He has criticised policies that allow transgender athletes - school-age players, college athletes and professionals - to play on teams that align with their gender identity, arguing this could harm women's sports programmes.
Trump and his fellow Republicans also called for banning certain kinds of medical treatment for transgender minors.
One of the Trump's most notable political advertisements declared his opponent, Kamala Harris, was "for they/them" while "President Trump is for you."
The order declaring only two official genders, could have wide-ranging implications. Some US and global health experts have said singling out individuals based on their gender identity or expression can be harmful to physical and mental wellbeing.
The World Health Organisation warns that, "Rigid gender norms also negatively affect people with diverse gender identities, who often face violence, stigma and discrimination as a result, including in healthcare settings."
On Monday, Trump signed a different executive order aimed at withdrawing the US from the WHO. https://bbc.com/news/articles/czx84en1yp4o
