There is this girl I have known since we were in school, she is beautiful, independent and very outspoken, she thicks almost all my boxes except one thing,just like most girl do, this girl hardly reply chats, Infact any means to contact her online never works.

When we were in school this girl buys me things whenever she visits ,gives me attention and talks to me for hours, and sometimes she whines me about marriage, the girl is from Anambra while I am from imo she told me she doesn't have friends from imo except me, that she doesn't even know why she likes me.

Whenever she wants to go home I grab her by the waist and peck her to test if her intentions are romantic she will just smile and go.

I have given up all my romantic intentions towards her since last year and moved on but she came around last week Thursday, called me on phone that she is in an eatery opposite school that I should come around, so I went to see her there she hugged me we talked and once again she bought food and drink for me and we gisted about a whole lot of things she started calling me her love you see whining again? After that day she said I should call her or chat her up, I laughed and told her she has forgotten she hardly replies chats and calls, she laughed meaning she knows what she is doing.

OK this morning I chatted her up to thank her for her hospitality that day till this moment she hasn't replied I just tire for the girl

I am thinking about making a drastic and brutal decision of not having anything to do with her again, even if she contacts me.

Seems the lady is in a relationship. She probably had issues with her partner that day, and U were used as a temporary succor. If their issue degenerates, you'll definitely be her rebound.

My advice: Be a man, tell her want you want. Define the relationship!

OkayDaddy:
Mr. Owoade the current Alaafin has managed to fight everyone, even the person who chose him over others to become Alaafin.

I hate people that talk like this..!
Intentionally misaddressing someone just to drive home a point.

Is it that you people didn't read the writeup or what? It's clearly stated that Alaafin was represented in the meeting.

Besides, I don't know what's wrong with Ibadan people. Just because they now have a former governor as the Olubadan, the position is now equivalent to that of Alaafin. Nawa o.

Someone that is rubbishing the Report of the Panel he setup, is that one fighting for the People or for his God-father that is looting Lagos Dry?

What we want?
- Scrap that Toll-gate payment, what they collected is enough
- Ensure the Police, from their Oga at the Top, to the last recruit, is punished severely, for any unlawful killing or violation of the Human Rights of ordinary Nigerians. Flush out bad eggs in the Police, and make HND/BSc the least qualification to join the Police. Pay them well.

- Make Elections free and fair in Nigeria, Lagos especially and open to everyone, not the current "Baba in Bourdillon says" put this person here and that person there.
- Arrest and lockup all the Agberos and Street urchins that Tinubu i susing ot intimidate Voters in the South West, Lagos especially, so that Electiosn can be free of intimidation, thuggery and death.

Please read the post again. He didn't rubbish the report, he only expressed is displeasure with the leakage of the reports.

SensualMan1:
All the people you are seeing below were all killed. Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordered the Nigerian Army to shoot at harmless youths. We will never forget!

Cc the Hague, ICC, Transparency international, UN.

Oga how far u na? Which kind lie be dz?

My brother, it's not about dictatorship but imposing a system which violate their mode of operation. And they ( ASUU) have the right to reject such imposition in as much as, it does not capture their peculiarities.

They need to be commended for protecting the university system based on the previous agreements signed. The only reliable union in Naija. I doff my hat for ASUU

Yes, we are actually on the same side. I just modified my comment to embolden the part of the guy's contribution I quoted.

LibertyRep:
I personally do not like the way ASUU arrogantly dictate to their employer on the preferred platform for their payment.
However seeing that the UTAS is more of local content makes it commendable.

Our ivory towers should be providing solutions to the myriads of problems facing us as a nation.

Buy Naija to grow Naija.

"...dictate to their employer" You sound as if the employers aren't there to represent them. My brother, we're in era of democracy. ASUU has the right to reject any system put up by FG, especially if it will not favour the entire university community.

A lecturer comes to lecture hall and spent like 2hrs, he does that for the rest of the semester
Let's say he went through all the course content in 10 lectures for that semester, which means he spent like 20hrs for the whole content..

On the exam day, u saw the questions, it cut across all the whole course outline, and time allowed to answer it is 2-3hrs

Course content wey lecturer use 20hrs cover, dem give u 2-3hrs to cover am...

How first class student come dey do am, e dey simple..
This set of stüpid guyz for the first 2 sessions no dey miss class, they use this period to get familiar with their lecturers, how he set questions, how he answers question, the textbooks and materials he made use of, is he the type that loves essay answers or straight forward answers, how deep does he goes on an outline,etc
For the first two sessions, they know the lecturer very well even though they are not close to him.
The rest of the sessions, na the lecturer dey familiarize with them, they get close to them, the student sef dey do chores for some coz dem don turn padi, this student use this closeness to psyche some daft lecturers up to spill what they are not suppose to say which include some question and answers..
This period even if they write rubbish in the exam hall and submit it, the lecturer go respect am because they have paid their dues in the first 2 sessions...

I think the scenario you gave up there fits Public secondary schools more than universities.

TheABOMINATION:
The guy videoing is a very wicked man, he should have dive in to rescue the man.

You can't just conclude like that. Or would you prefer a news headline like "Two men swept away by flood..."

I don't seem to understand this guy anymore. How could someone be this desperate for power?

RadicalNigerian:
Firstly, I am not a Muslim neither am I an apologist but truth must be told knowing fully that not everything that is true is the truth. President Trump's terrorist-style assassination of Major General Qasem Soleimani (a serving General of a sovereign Nation) is not acceptable and cowardly.

Infact, the only difference between his actions and that of a career terrorist is that Mr. Trump didn't shout "Allahu Akbar" before bombing a perceived enemy (terrorists also bomb their perceived enemy so no much difference).

A murderer is a murderer, there's absolutely no justification for killing someone that makes you less a murderer.

The claims by the US government that lead to the war in Iraq is still fresh in our memories...The US government have still not found the "Weapon Of Mass Destruction" the bases for the Iraq War under the G. Bush administration, now another claim is being made to go to war with Iran...The US government must stop bullying Nations and start borrowing sense from world powers like Russia and China.

Good to know Russia keeps reminding them that they are not the only world power by playing the big brother role anytime the US government behaves like a child.

Subsequently, every country the US government invaded in the name of "Peace Keeping and fighting terror" end up in chaos...Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.

In the near future the US government may end up making her citizens abroad an endangered species for the manner at which they keep creating enemies for themselves around the world.

Lol.. It's obvious, you know nothing! Anyway, those are your opinions, and you're entitled to them. However, I think the United States is only trying to make these countries behave like normal nations. If not for them, we all know what would have happened. Please, let's appreciate their efforts. You can read up facts online, or check some on YouTube. I don't have time to type much. Peace!

YoungLionken:
My mother is a fool!! She's just an animal,..shame on her

Bros calm down now...It hasn't got to that stage. Stop cursing your mother pls.

YoungLionken:
[s]The only thing"important"now is that, you ask Black Face for forgiveness for stealing (what could have placed him far and above where he currently is) from him. Because it's really painful.

Your fans are of the opinion that he should just let it slide since it happened long time ago,but they forgot that Palestine and other countries still hate Israel because of what happened in Bible times, even in our respective communities,we still have neighboring communities that we dislike based on an issue that happened centuries ago[/s]...

Chai,this country is sick.Instead of attempting to rescue him they were busy taking pictures to upload on social media

Rescue him as how?
You mean they should have tried to force his body out of that crevice, and end up dismembering his body parts?

*How much did u do ur affidavit?*


FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT.

I travelled out of my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a federal high court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4 000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4 000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. They make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt. Please keep sharing until it gets to the right people. Nigeria must be saved.

May God save my ctry Nigeria.

Thanks for sharing this sir! Little wonder why it's often advised that every family should have at least one lawyer. It takes the knowledge of law to defend and protect one's right in this country. God be on my side, I must study law as my second degree.
