Education / Re: Damilola Olakanmi, Nigerian Law Student Dies In UK After Eating Cannabis Sweet by panpan(m): 9:52am On Apr 06, 2022
There was probably more in that sweet than just cannabis.
It was called "cannabis sweet" to make it attractive to potential users.

Politics / Re: EFCC Declares Akinyemi Samuel Adedoyin Wanted (photo) by panpan(m): 10:07pm On Apr 04, 2022
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has ruled that Section 46 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act should be construed within the narrow confines of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, the precursor to the establishment of the EFCC - to prevent illicit financial outflow from Nigeria.

EFCC should not declare anybody wanted unless the allegation is about "illicit financial outflow from Nigeria".

How come Betta Edu won when she was disqualified

Anyway, let me answer myself wink

This is Nigeria where everything and anything is possible as long as you have money!! wink grin grin

There was no disqualification of certain persons from contesting.
Some persons were only disqualified from voting, or being voted for; not from contesting.

Voting was not necessary if the contestant was unopposed.
Politics / Re: Betta Edu Faces Disqualification From APC Convention Over Electoral Act by panpan(m): 8:10am On Mar 26, 2022
A possible way around this Electoral Act is if the political appointee is unopposed, or chosen by consensus.
The Electoral Act said that the political appointee should not be "voted for". It did not say that the political appointee cannot contest.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Ukrainian Doctor Orders Staff To Castrate Russians As They're 'Cockroaches' by panpan(m): 2:21pm On Mar 22, 2022
The statement from the Ukrainian doctor, Gennadiy Druzenko, has been said, and is difficult to reverse.
It is far easier to empty a bag of rice on to the ground, than to put the rice grains back into the bag.

Besides, the report said that Druzenko "was forced to apologize". It is not as if the apology was made willingly.

It is advisable that nobody, not even Ukrainians, should accept to be treated by the Ukrainian doctor.
The Ukrainian doctor may castrate a Ukrainian or a non-Russian "by mistake".

Foreign Affairs / Re: Russia Gives Ukraine Deadline To Surrender Mariopol, Ukraine Refuses by panpan(m): 10:45am On Mar 22, 2022
Biodun556:
The ultimatum came hours after Zelenskyy told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria in an interview broadcast Sunday that failure to reach a negotiated agreement with Russia “would mean that this is a third World War.”

It appears as if Zelenskyy is more interested in a third world war than in peace in his country.

The most important issue for Ukraine and Russia is for the war to end. It should not matter which side wins or whether it becomes a stalemate.
The war should end as quickly as possible and without escalation to a world wide conflict.

NOETHNICITY:
Because the president allowed US to push him into war. Very soon this Zelenski will reveal the promise made to him by washington. The target has always been to push ukraine to provoke Russia into going to war so that Russian economy can be destroyed by the west.

If this is true, then Zelensky's life is probably in danger; not from Russia, but from the United States.
The United States does not like foreign heads of state spilling the beans.

Phones / Re: Electronic Tattoo: Bill Gates Predicts Technology That Will Replace Smart Phones by panpan(m): 12:54pm On Mar 05, 2022
It is one thing to develop new technology.
It is another thing for that technology to be accepted by the general population.

A lot of people do not like tattoos, because they are difficult to remove.
For example, if I buy a phone today, I can decide to change it or throw it away after six months.

If a persons decides to get an electronic tattoo, then no longer desires the tattoo after a few months or years, what would he do?

Sports / Re: Doping Violations: Blessing Okagbare Reacts To 10-Year Ban by panpan(m): 9:48am On Feb 19, 2022
An accused person has the right to remain silent.
An accused person has the right to engage the services of a lawyer.

Blessing Okagbare has the right to appeal.
The double ban is like sentencing an accused person for an offence, then adding another sentence for refusing to cooperate with the police.

The Disciplinary Tribunal has banned Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare for a total of 10 years, five years for the presence and use of multiple prohibited substances and five years for her refusal to co-operate with the AIU's investigation into her case.

An accused person has the right to remain silent.

Did Blessing Okagbare "refuse to co-operate with the AIU's investigation", or did she refuse to make confessional statements?

Well, at least she has the right to appeal?

The WHO cannot be trusted these days.

In several other countries, the covid "vaccine" narrative has started to lose relevance.
In spite of this loss of relevance, the WHO along with the European Council and the European Commission, want to enforce mRNA "vaccines" on Africans.

They are called vaccines, but they are not vaccines.
Beware!

Making special seat concessions for women is wrong. It is discriminatory based on gender.
Women are still able to contest for any of the currently existing seats.

In addition, creating additional seats would only increase the cost of governance.
Will the federal government borrow money to sustain the extra cost?

This recommended amendment should be thrown out.

There are laws already in place against not declaring assets.
If the House of Representatives wants to pass new laws against non-declaration of assets, such laws should be inclusive of the general population, and not bankers only.

Secondary and tertiary institutions should determine their curriculum.

Travel / Re: UK Home Office Responds To IELTS Removal Petition, See! by panpan(m): 5:03pm On Jan 27, 2022
The United Kingdom should allow the educational institutions or employers to determine the English language requirements.

The validity of two years for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is too short. A validity of ten years or even indefinitely would be more appropriate.

Besides, in practice, this IELTS requirement seems to be applicable to African countries.
Are citizens of the European Union, for example, subjected to these IELTS requirements, before they can work or study in the United Kingdom?
