funshint:

Nothing commendable here; the only thing keeping them back was the maan bragging that he's a soldier. They'll have shot him if he was a civilian.

That's a lie but would be true if it were in the US.

Botragelad:
The individual claimed to be a soldier, a military officer, and made threats against a police officer. No taser or gun, the subsequent action taken was the deployment of tear gas. Lol

His tone suggested a serious intent to harm anyone who approached, which was evident in the fear and confusion among the officers.

He's holding an object presumed to be a knife. Una know everything online. Put you there now and you become a fool.

shortgun:
Why didn't he help other nollywood actors who are critics. He's doing this because Zack oji is his supporter in Nollywood.
Tinubu is a bitter vindictive person

Tinubu is occupying the office of the president, anyone in that office is forbidden from showing preference and biases.

I thought Buhari already explained this with the 5% analogy. Have you not any lesson from that?

You can't treat those who gave you 97% and 5% the same way.

Omo, na you dey see pepper, bro. Na talk we dey talk, nobody dey fight you.

HateBigots:
.The word "suspects" means "guilty" or "criminal" in Nigeria police dictionary.

Hope they did not pack innocent people due to pressure.

Na police dey disturb themselves. Did you see the military operation in that Delta community? Did they tell you whether those arrested are suspects or not. Where you even told if anyone has been arrested? So pe o ti lo.

MichaelSokoto:
hope not innocents sha?

Go and tell that to the military burning that entire Delta community to the ground.

Exams for this semester begin 30th May. If you want to be part of this semester, you have to get all these done and start studying. If otherwise, you can wait till next semester before u do all these.

Ok, thanks. Please, when does next semester start?

Hello, everyone. I'm applying for the ICT M.Sc. programme. I made a payment of #7,500 this morning. I'm asked to provide referees who are academics and I honestly don't have the time at the moment.

How long can I pause with this registration?

What semester are we presently in and when is the next exam?

If I complete my registration next month, when will I be taking the first exam?

Thanks.

thesicilian:

He's obviously not a wise person. A wise person would know that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence and one should always remain humble and cautious as fate is unpredictable.

This saying is true and worthy of general acceptance.

OVB123:
I think it should be; will you love and cherish this man in all conditions of life, and not for better and for worst because such marriage vow is outdated.

What's the difference? If things have not stopped getting worse for people in marriage, why is the cow outdated? It's like concealing that things can get worse in marriage with better words.

I think the groom should have insisted the vows are taken correctly. She would remind him in marriage of that that.

Talkisneeded:
When will the price of common things fall too...
Because koyemi

Competition will eventually bring it down. Last month, I bought a carton of Indomine for 11k but bought same today for 9k.

Those who bought goods at high price will have to offload at that same price.

immortalcrown:
Concealed as a package to be delivered or concealed to suggest the dispatcher owns it?

I don't mean to defend the dispatcher. I simply want to know if there is another person involved in the suspected offense.

Another question is what made the police to decide to search the dispatcher to an extent of finding a concealed gun on him? Was he a suspect before the search?

Nigerian bloggers and media companies are fond of serving the public half-baked bread. This is how they only reported that the soldiers killed in Delta State went for peace keeping, but didn't report what necessitated the peace keeping in the affected community.

Was actually expecting something as this and it turned out to be the first comment. Knew someone must find something wrong with the arrest.

Lithiumite:


Provocation, yes!! But that arguement gets watered up in the face of facts revealing he planned the assault on the victim and also had accomplices......the act was premeditated simple......if it had been a spontaneous act where it happened in the heat of the moment when he caught them and killed them both there and then.....he has a good case.

Emphasis at bolded....if he even walked out of the room to go get a weapon to kill them,he would be guilty of murder because the law will prove that he still had enough time to think it through.

Whether he had enough time to think or not, he's not getting off the hook. That's my point. No one kills another and walks away in the face of the law except in self defense. Not even manslaughter.

Provocation may not earn him a death sentence but he would be still be gone for a long time.

Modified.

If provocation is a valid defense to get away with murder, the world will be in chaos. You can read more from the link below or do your own research. Let's not misinform people.

Lithiumite:


Read the story again....second to the last paragraph,even the honourable judge gave a latent reason for justification of what he did....I had known this several years back when I was much younger...let me help u here

Okay sir, but let me give you context to it.

The defence argued for provocation. Provocation would have earned him a lesser sentence but not let him off the hook.

I have also known this for many years now. Even manslaughter, which is committed without intent, will not get you off the hook.

You can look it up further online.

Lithiumite:
That's why men should never allow women matters stay too long in their heads....if she is cheating,why not walk away....their are a thousand and one more other ladies out there that needs you.

She has even helped your situation by ending your burden on her,she wouldn't be your responsibility anymore .....some men are just way too foolish.

The reason he was jailed was that the murder was premeditated.....if he had been patient enough to plan a way to catch them in the act and he then strikes the man or both to death immediately he catches them,he has a 99% chance of walking away free.

Provocation does not mean you will walk away freely, you may not just be put to death.

Even manslaughter, which killing someone by mistake, will not get you to walk freely. You may only bargain reduced sentence.

Dshocker:
He obviously doesn't know the damage a snake could cause.

At first, I thought of it this way. I later though that he may belong to a certain clan where they know snakes better than the rest of us.

There is also a women somewhere there who's not running. Other women will have disappeared.

God1000:
I don't support such retaliation but actions have consequences.


People should refrain from violent activities and senseless killing of others.


Meanwhile anybody supporting Israel to wipe out the entire people of Gaza doesn't have any right to criticize our military.

Just imagine this happened in your area and the military comes to burn your properties, will you still be singing this same song?

Pele o, Mr. Action.

APOPTOSIS:
NIGERIAN POLICE always appears untrainable.
How can you confront and be so close to a mentally deranged man with an assault rifle..?
Does he know that man can overpower him and use that rifle at him and other passersby?
This is why they are usually overpowered!

Some of you Internet users know everything. You know how a celebrity should talk, how an actor should act and how a business man should do business.

Can you stand the test of scrutiny when you're in public glares?

Umueme:
Wow. This is nice one from India. India is always compared to Nigeria when it gets to negativity. Hope the ones doing the comparison can still compare this to us. 21st century we're still acting and behaving like cavemen. They also have brain drain, but have the best doctors and software engineers in the world

It's you doing the comparison now though

Nbote:
Lol.. Some of the highest expatriate employers in this country are the Chinese and Lebanese. Na the same Chinese wey we dey owe left right and centre we expect to pay up? The government should come up with a compulsory quota of Nigerians that must be employed in all those oyibo firms

Omo, is it an education problem or how does countries doing business together mean their citizens cannot be touched?

RenaissanceGuy:
We can't even get proper assessment of comments any more, because of fake likes generated by bots.

Imagine someone would just use an emoji to book a space and their bots will give him 96 likes. He could later come back to modify the comment and it'd seem like he made so much sense that Nairalanders liked his post that much.

Seun acknowledged this last year and said he had worked to deactivate those fake likes, but it appears they're back with more vigour.

I've noticed this with a lot of begging accounts. Begging account consistently generate the same number of likes on every post.

I know it was either a bot or manual process to convince people that they are indeed getting support and create a bandwagon.

ravensckar:
If you're complaining that 200K monthly is no longer sustainable, what will people who earn less say?

Sometimes, I feel you guys deliberately create this kind of topic to 'pepper' some people. Make una take am suffery suffery o, pressure ti wa already.

My brother, it's not to pepper o. I earn more than this, I'm single but things are still hard. You can't buy anything else you will be broke. Just eat and watch on.

kingthreat:
This man must have gone so far in life by using thuggery, intimidation and abuse of due process.
People like this in a leadership position become autocrats and megalomaniaxcs.
Inasmuch as I don't like that unhansome governor but "Thank you Obaseki for preventing Shaibu from succeeding you"

Let's be honest, most of our leaders are like this. Only a few show their true colour to the public. Power is not served a la carte.

Sirmwill:
Omo

Everyone is wearing sneakers

Wellllll

He is doing what he can do shaaa

But
He is not touching the right places IMHO
There are so many places in Lagos that are best known as "Trenches"
He has ignored all those places for years.
Instead he focused his attention on the places where the rich commonly live.
The best Governor of Lagos State would be the Governor who brings major developments to the "Trenches"

Though, Mr Sanwo Olu is doing the best he is capable of doing 😇✨

Agbado is even in Ogun and not Lagos.

richiemcgold:


Just now, I went through some of your past comments on this forum, nearly all of them are laced with insults and very rude expressions. It tells a lot about the kind of person you are.

I'm only provoked to respond when I see an unimaginable absence of common sense in a comment. Howbeit, there's not one unjustified in my comment.

richiemcgold:

Don't tell me a whole OAU Zoology doesn't have tranquilizer gun.

You have knowledge but not common sense.

accordadoga24:
Hehehe

We hope they also allow us to own AK47.

Na golden AK47 I wan buy

You don chop?

How do you repay student loan 2 years immediately after nysc service when you have no meaningful job as a graduate. With the current inflation rate?

The strategies around repayment have been in many prints but some of you will not read but be asking stupid questions.

malali:
Clueless senators, ready to rubber stamp the president or a prominent elite.

They are not even aware they represent their constituencies, they have not discussed state police with the people who elected them.

Tinubu mentioned state police yesterday, the whole senate woke up today, and they are ready to "approve" it.

Presidential, legislative and the judiciary should be holding each other accountable, to provide checks and balances.

But in Nigeria, none of that exists....These are the same people advocating for a parliamentarian system.

Don't be a US ass licker, my guy. I'm not even sure you follow the US politics as you'd want us to believe. Which US senator or Congress person goes back to his or her constituency to ask questions? Even the constituents are online lamenting some of the high-handedness of their elected officials.


Let's be honest, US is not the idea example in this regard.

Jokerman:


I'm talking of transport and ease of accessibility.

Just imagine I get to Ikeja, will enter bus to Ọgba, then take bus to Abule Egba??

Which kind Waka be this? Why you go go Ogba when there's straight bus to Abule Egba.

Well, for me, they are trying to relocate people by the road and not shop owners in the market itself.

It's very easy to know that Nigerian leaders are not thinking. They are just opportunists who found themselves in office. This man wants to set farmers in his state 10 years backwards instead of seeking other means. Useless leaders who have lost touch with reality.

Tallesty1:
If they stay back, they can get kidnapped, get killed by a stray bullet from police, get shot by a drunk police, get arrested and locked away for a crime they didn't commit etc.


They must have weighed their options before making the move.

All these may happen to them abroad. In fact, there's a higher chance of being killed and going to jail. These guys don't have hope in Nigeria but they do not understand what awaits them at the other end.
