₦airaland Forum

Any society where lawlessness overrides the rule of law is not destined to be a haven for investors. Recent reports showing that Nigeria’s human rights indicators have worsened merely highlight severe shortfalls in government protection for civil liberties, personal security, and basic living standards.

I know what I have been going through as a person in abuse of my human rights just because I contested a Presidential election which I have legitimate rights to do. So I imagine what small business owners, regular citizens, and vulnerable communities face every day. If this level of lawlessness can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate means, what hope does the ordinary Nigerian have?

This morning, my youngest brother called me frantically, informing me that a group of people had invaded his company property in Ikeja, Lagos, and were demolishing the building. He had just come in from Port Harcourt and was denied entry to the property by security men who told him the building was being pulled down. They even informed him that this demolition had started over the weekend. As a peace-loving Nigerian, he quickly started processing to go to court immediately, not knowing what must have resulted in this, as they moved fast to destroy his home without any restraint.

I rushed to Lagos from Abuja after the call this morning and headed straight to the property. On arrival, I was met by security people who tried to bar me from entering the property. I humbly pleaded with them that the property belonged to my brother’s company, and from the records, the company had owned the property for over a decade. They told me they had a court judgment, and I immediately requested it. You would not believe that the court judgment they claim was issued against an unknown person, and squatters. I went further to ask about a demolition order or permit, and there was none.

How do you sue an unknown person? How does a court issue a judgment in such a farce of a case? No one was served. No name was written. Yet they showed up with excavators and began destroying a structure that had stood for over 15 years.

I immediately asked the excavators for the person who had sent them, and they said they didn’t know anyone, but they were only informed to come and demolish the house. I immediately told them to tell whoever it is that I would like to speak with them, if they can call my number, which I shared with the excavators, so that I can speak with whomever gave them the order to demolish the property.
I stood there from 10am to 2pm, waiting to get a call at least and nobody called or came. The contractor even said he didn’t know who sent him. Two men later came and said they would like us to go to a police station. I asked if they even had a demolition order but they had nothing. The whole situation screamed of coordinated lawlessness and impunity. Our country has become lawless.

I just started reminiscing about how just over the weekend, I had a meeting when someone told me how he has investments in Ghana, Senegal, and the Benin Republic, but won’t touch Nigeria despite his market being here. I asked him why. His answer was piercing: “Nigeria is a lawless country. Until we have laws that protect people, nobody will invest in Nigeria.”

I am just shocked. How did Nigeria get to this level of lawlessness?
What kind of country are we trying to build when the rights of citizens, their lives, their properties, and their voices are trampled upon daily?

I remain committed to a better Nigeria where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, protection of life and property, respect for human rights, care for the less privileged, and basic education for all children.

A new Nigeria is POssible.

The woman's moaning and response is what makes it fun. It is a waste of time to suck the breast of a woman who behaves as if she doesn't feel anything while you suck her breasts. That is the worst kind of woman to have intimacy with. But if she is moaning and responding with pleasure as you suck her breasts, it will definitely boost your erection and encourage you to have a mind blowing time with her.

You are pained because the story has been linked to the church and Jesus is glorified. Only if you know how great the Lord has helped people through His church and His servants all over the world. Don't be over pained, just deal with it!

Birthday: William Kumuyi Turns 84 Today!

Happy birthday papa

But why Bill Gates? So no Nigerian has common less than $8m for such project or investment. These politicians and majority of wealthy Nigerians are vision less especially the politicians

Op the 3rd man, thank God your 3rd leg was not involved in the drama

Dogalmighty17:
How should one answer this?

Let me use this analogy. There are two cars. One brand new. The other used. Both go for the same price.

Assuming the buyer is not mentally unbalanced and insane, which should he go for?

Guy you no get joy at all...
End of discussion...
Another topic please!

Nawa oooo.. 5g to 10g, other contenders can fill the gaps maybe before they are done china will be in 20g

I won't continue with this ground standing, I will leave you to posterity.

Kobojunkie:
Mother-in-laws have ALWAYS been a burden for those who are married. The problem is that, before now, most men conveniently concluded by themselves and for themselves that their mothers were not burdens(only their wives' families could be classified as that).

2. Some relationships benefit only one person, and there are also benefitless relationships — no one benefits — out there.

3. Choosing the right spouse has nothing to do with conveniently shifting burdens onto others. Your mother is meant to be your burden to bear; if you want another person's child to have to cater to that burden, then you should be willing to pay the necessary price or fees(hiring a caregiver, maybe) for that to happen.

That is why I don't pity you people that married or will marry nonsense. When did a mother inlaw became a burden that can't be beared or tolerated in marriage? But if it was her own mother the man will carry the burden and there will be no problem. Every relationship has benefits and liabilities, you enjoy the benefits and manage the liabilities. Until you people learn how to choose the right spouse and also work on yourself to be the right spouse, you will continue to suffer in relationships or marriage. So an only child will discard his aged mother or father because of a wife from hell...

Kobojunkie:
Another woman to marry him with his mother as her burden as well? Una no dey dey realistic at all.

Useless Jokers, Truth is President Tinubu is not fit for the job

They are all incompetent and unrepentant sycophants. That same extremely bad government was the same government they were praising that time........

If your wife leaves, is it that there won't be other woman to marry?
Some of you men are too weak. Your wife have scaled you and see that you are spineless. That was what gave her the enfontry to accuse your mom of witchcraft. If you were emotionally strong enough you should be the one to pull the divorce clause on her.
How can only child be asking if he should keep his wife and send his mother away?

You have said it all, they will certainly learn the hard way

Tit4Tat1:
You guys are the enablers of these women taking you for granted all in the name of been in a woke generation by tolerating certain things which are paramount then come online to cry about how ur wife doesn't respect/regard you..

Mr woke man, you should have as well say the woman should not have left her house at once and go to her husband's house, they should start by meeting halfway......

InfernoNig:
Honestly, stuff like this is why couples need to stop skipping the real convos before the wedding. Love is great, but it won’t fix deep differences like this. I don’t think it’s fair to expect the woman to just switch churches—marriage should be about compromise, not control. Both need to meet halfway, or it’s gonna be problems down the line.

The game is real, you either learn to play smart or you will be played and perish

Interesting, even though some claims are not accurate

I can bet it that one man can not rape a grown woman without gun point or weapon
. I don't believe it.. how can one man rape a grown woman like you.. u gave it to him

Exactly what was in my mind

People of peace have rest her in peace

Go and sleep, this line of deception doesn't sell again. People of people that have spread war everywhere they are found.

JAMO84:
For some Nigeria Christians who like to believe that terrorists are working for Islam. Imagine RCCG members going to surround a living faith congregation on a Sunday while service is holding, killing everyone in the church. Would you consider Rccg as part of your religion again?

Any terrorist who goes about killing people, Muslim or not, we curse them. Allah cursed them.
They are not part of us and they will never be.

Alhamdulillah. Thousands of Muslim youths have taken up arms against those miserable terrorists in Borno, Katsina, Zamfara....Muslims in Nigeria don't just condemn terrorists, we fight them with our lives.

Lolz 😂 😂, you can as well give a South African opinion

Samantha125:
I think this is a Nigerian matter and I was just passing by...

Your observation is clear and loud. But do mind if you share your opinion on the subject matter. I personally want to hear your view because your comments are mostly candid

Samantha125:
The problem is with the moderators like nlfpmod and dominique who keep encouraging women to be cyber bullied on this forum by doing nothing about it.

Even their boss Seun doesn't seem to be bothered, he's always making empty promises... It's like they're cashing out from these trolls... And I wouldn't be surprised if they ban me for saying this because that's all they're ever good at, banning people when they call them out for enabling this forum to be controlled by trolls.

I understand your point, I encourage all of you my sisters not to be afraid of what my brothers will say. You all should contribute who knows there may not be slut shaming as the mods will put your observations into consideration.

Samantha125:
You know your brothers and their misogyny... Any woman that'll attempt to answer will get trolled and slut shamed while the useless moderators will just watch.

So don't expect any woman to participate here.

This question was directed to the ladies, how come all of you won't let them answer in peace.

Happy birthday my daddy

Mumu dey claim sense.

That is why sometimes they say they don't have money but people won't believe them, including you and I won't believe them.

Saao:
All these big men with loans. If u minus the loans they owed, from their assets, they maybe left with nothing despite all these, you see them living so large.

Are you guys sure is not the house maid that cleared them off but use madam's handwriting to cover her trace...... I strongly don't think the house maid is innocent in their death....
