according to the criminal code, the motive for carrying out an action or offence is irrelevant. in my opinion the judgement of the judge is flawed; were is the judgement for the person whose wheat was stolen.

I believe his philosophy of punishment is less of punitive, custodial and deterrence.

I would challenge that with an extreme case: manslaughter vs murder. Both result in death, however the circumstances - provocated vs. premeditated - lead to very different punishments.

A judge is empowered to consider all the relevant facts in order to establish a sentence, which can include pardon, a fine, imprisonment of various terms, with or without hard labor. As far as the person whose wheat was stolen, you have a point, and I don't have an answer. They could insist on compensation, but I doubt that company would like to look bad in people's eyes, and might be inclined to just let it slide, as a cost of business.

"What effort is the Chinese Government putting in place to assist the Nigerian Government in rescuing these people?"

Did I read that right?

Toh... so now the mechanic is supposed to come and solve a burglary case okwa ya?

And when God disappoints, we say "it's God's will". In my opinion He chose a better prayer warrior than you

You do realize that the vast majority of voters do not have the means to buy data and phones capable of using it. Though I think they shouldn't have pulled it, the poll only captures a small segment of Nigerian society: an echo chamber of a well-to-do middleclass. Furthermore, the respondents to the online poll are not the same that will decide at the primaries...

My dear police woman, thank you for your selfless service. But please remember that neither your ogas at the top, nor your ogas at the station, nor the general public, will send 1k to cover medicines should you catch cold. Your CP should have ensured you have a raincoat/PE, but as you can see, they don't give a damn!

Please take am easy, thank you.

That sounds like rubbish. Like many have already said, Osinbajo was elected, not appointed.

Taking this to its natural conclusion is that "it would be ethically correct for a first term president to resign from the job if he wants to contest for second term". Likewise a senator. Which is obvious nonsense.

I don't even know who's paying Sowore any attention... did he get up to 1% of the last vote? No.

Congrats... I sha no wan hear that you need donation for dialysis or some other crap because you no wan build house when money dey.

man... all these trumpet blowers and end-of-timers... una no dey tire?
Industrial activity and the burning hydrocarbons for heat, transport, work, etc, is what causing these higher temperatures, as scientists have warned - and politicians have ignored - for decades. Unfortunately, it's getting a bit late, and summers will continue to be hotter...

In a few billion years, the Sun will grow huge enough to make Earth inhabitable - a natural phenomenon. Even then the trumpet won't sound, despite the wishes of our religious brethren.

But I thought a certain former US president, declared climate change a hoax....

He didn't skip work. It was his day off.
Lucky guy though... he should just invest that asap, considering the US stock market is down 14%.
Of course he won't ...

JovialJune:
Ehen....so a man can actually say this?

So you mean it is okay for a woman to be the cause of disagreement and discourse between a man and his own family? I thought you guys usually scream out loud that men should never allow "pûssy" to separate them from family, that it doesn't end well, so what happen here? It really doesn't matter because it is Yul? Abi because you idiots will say and agree to anything when it is convenient for you?

I'm not advocating for the highly-insensitive manner Yul went about this marriage, nor even advocating for polygamy. I'm happily married with my one, for 14 years now.

However, my understanding is that real men do what they want, regardless. Don't let pûssy control you, and don't let family control you. If you want to carry another woman, because you think that's what will make you happy, go for it. If a woman is trying to bring disagreement between you and family, the woman goes. But if it's the man bringing discourse because of his choice (even if it's over a woman he wants), then that's cool too by the rules.

The point is that he's the one deciding what to do, not allowing others to determine what he does, even at the risk of disappointment.

At least it's better than those girls who will leave you and your car there, because "she cannot come and be sitting inside hot car".

Ebubu:
She kpako

Why she bony like dis come get athletic body she no dey drink milk ?

You no see the papa:? na dogon yaro na

So cute... looks just like her dad. All these little children of not-too-long ago... mine is almost 14, and it's amazing how quickly time passes...

OP, why you yourself no do family planning? No be you pour am?

My mother once told me: never take a woman's word about preventing pregnancy... you have to prevent it yourself.
Since this train has already left the station, just start planting corn. Harvest it, dry it, and keep it to make pap for the new baby

Here's my theory: there are lots of bee hives around the palace, and all one has to do is anger them with smoke or noise, and they will swarm out. It's quite possible the whole thing is planned, in the same way masquerades are said to be ancestors...

RIP Oba, you will be missed.

You cannot sue a person for selling what is theirs. Technically those lands are not your inheritance, because he has not bequeathed them to you (yet). Granted, your father does not want to pass on his inheritance to his children, but it is not a crime nor a breach of contract.

The time, energy and expense involved in suing for whatever's left can be used more productively.
Afterall, your ancestors that hustled to found the town, they did't inherit those lands... they worked hard to obtain it back in the day, based on the standards at the time.

If in other countries, a young person can win an election with a unpopular party, why can't it happen in Nigeria?

You make excellent points and I wholeheartedly agree that the prices of nomination forms are ridiculous and disenfranchise otherwise eligible young men and women from participating.

However, it is highly unlikely that a politician in the US wins at the state or national level if not from either major party. There is the occasional independent candidate, but a lot of them got their first major win as a Rep or Dem, then chose to be independent. I could be wrong.

This does not take from the fact that what you posted is absolutely true.

And to those comparing total campaign cost, don't forget to add the cost of campaigning in Nigeria. This is in addition to the nomination form.

Good on you OP... too bad I'm allergic to pet dander. About the only dog I can have is a poodle, but I don't really have the time nor dedication to take care of one...

Karlovich:
Hmm, Igboland again!!

You do realize that the incident happened in Abuja? I'm guessing the Azikiwe part led you to the wrong location...

Why are we suddenly getting an influx of people saying "Buhari has done a terrible job", lately? Something that was already apparent by 2017. Please this is old news, and you get no points for stating the obvious.

Let's know we're just going to endure till May next year, because Buhari has - as Lagbaja used to sing - "nothing for you".

If gov't doesn't do anything, people will complain. Now they're patrolling (with helicopter), people are still complaining. You can't patrol the trains with cars because rail track often don't follow a highway. Of course they can put armed guards aboard, but they can be overwhelmed anyway.

At any rate, as with anything in Nigeria, this is just for show and in a few days, there won't be fuel for the helicopter, or somebody will divert fuel funds to their pocket, or it will develop some mechanical fault.

Because the recent incident showed that the terrorists that attacked the train were onboard, right? With 2k, anybody can bribe their way past any NIN check. We've registered NIN for SIM, yet kidnapping on the rise. We've registered for BVN yet fraud on the rise.

Ecowas pass 20k

I never see that one before, kii kii kii

But see how people dey call moni anyhow. 2M for diplomatic table, 1.5M for global table. Congrats. All these OGs for standup comedy try sha. E no easy

What kind of country is this where so many of us die like ants? RIP, my dear, you can rest from the nonsense that is Nigeria.

Uprightness100:
GOD Hates Divorce. And as people of GOD, we don't do what our Father hates. That does not mean you should remain in silence if your life is threatened.

If your life is threatened in your home, dont keep quiet. get Godly counsel, get out of the place.

You do realize God also makes mistakes:
he made a beautiful angel who turned against him
he made the world and had to flood the place
he made people smart, then destroyed their tower
then he sent his Son to come and help fix his mistakes...

If any student had so many mistakes during his course, na F9 he go carry

(I know this is blasphemy for most, but there you are)

I'm happy for them. Rare to see a celebrity couple stay committed to each other for so long without any drama. They are both great for each other.


Some guys on here just want to marry billionaire's daughter, but hope you realize Mr. Eazi is quite successful in his own right. Nothing worse than marrying into a family where the wife (and her family) will control your every move, wealthy or not.

Ogbono and eba all day any day. Sometimes with okra. Just not that heavy thick eba though.
Fufu and vegetable soup or egusi. Just don't eat in the morning unless u plan to sleep all day.
Pounded yam and ofe nsala. Happy memories
Amala and ewedu pelu gbegiri die. My go to for a nice breakfast. I'm not kidding.

What can I say... over to you ndi Anambra...

Make she sha no go chop slap for that side too oh...

Well executed, with wonderful graphics.
As usual in Nigerian politics, no solid outline of what he wants to do for Nigeria. Just vague and generic "for unity and prosperity", "he's our man". Maybe I'm the one not understanding us because this could be exactly the kind of vague messaging Nigerians like.

All I want is a competent person, no matter from where, who has solid evidence of achievements. I'm not sure Gov Bello has demonstrated that he can deliver for Nigeria, based on what we've seen of his performance in Kogi. We've been saying "youths youths", but he has been quite disappointing.

Which one of them wan enter Russia before?
