The driver was not charged with murder.

He has been charged with 39 counts of manslaughter as well as people trafficking, and immigration offences.

We should consider the economy of the state or country before declaring extra public holidays.

At present, the number of public holidays in the country (13 or 14 each year) are too many.

At the state level, some days may just be observed but should still remain normal working days.

Acting under the aegis of the Association of Licensed Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ALTON), the carriers, on Thursday faulted the directive stopping the telcos from deducting the charges while still allowing the banks to keep deducting.

Are the telecommunications companies not being paid anything at all for USSD?

If the telecommunications companies are, at present, paid nothing, all they need to do is to stop providing the service. They cannot be forced to provide USSD for free.

20. Complaints to or against moderators must be sent privately.

I do not really know who the moderators are.

Is there a list of moderators; or any link to such a list?

If the university students want to believe in the existence of a mermaid, based on rumours but without evidence, that is their business.

The real issue is, why was Olamide arrested? What was her offence?

There is nothing wrong in the letter by the Body of Banks to the Telecommunication Operators.

It is not as if USSD was previously free, and the Body of Banks suddenly asked the Telecommunication Operators to start charging customers.

The Telecommunication Operators proposed an increase in USSD charges by 450% to the banks.

The banks did not want to be seen as being exorbitant to their customers; the banks also did not want to take the blame for charging customers for any failed or delayed USSD transactions as a result of possible poor network.

To prevent any backlash from their customers, the Body of Banks stated that if the Telecommunication Operators insist on the N4.5 per 20 seconds USSD session, they should charge the customers directly (instead of charging the banks who would still have pass on the cost to the customers).

In others words, the banks do not want to take responsibility for charges that are only going to benefit the Telecommunication Operators.

This looks like a travel bag that has been converted into a jacket.

Take your dog to a vet.

If the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) would not tell us the names of the banks, they should not bother releasing such a report.

Seamtri:
He urged the CIA to collaborate with the agency in the fight by making sure that they administer their affairs in a corruption-free manner.

Is this a subtle way of asking for funds from a foreign government?

So, it is true that the United States government sponsors EFCC activities; no wonder EFCC is far more active in financial crime that affects United States citizens than in financial crime that affects Nigerians.

FrLukas:
Cultistism should carry the death penalty. Same with kidnapping.

What is cultism?

The penalty for kidnapping should not be the same as the penalty for murder.

Death penalty for kidnapping gives no incentive for the abductor to keep the victim alive.

Is the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) talking about renewal (of an expired card) or replacement (of a lost or damaged card)?

As several have mentioned on this thread, many of us are yet to get the identity card, so the issue of renewal or replacement does not yet arise. Or is this a subtle way of asking everybody who wants to collect his/her card to pay N5,000 under the pretext of "renewal"?

Why do several federal government agencies like to serve United States interests?

NwaAmaikpe:
I'd say the judge was really lenient but the question to EFCC is, was it worth the stress?

EFCC serves foreign interests.

What matters to EFCC is to get as many convictions (for financial crime which affect foreigners) as possible to justify any donations it receives from foreign governments.

Registration of births is not enforced in Nigeria.

Many parents do not bother to register the birth of their children until it is time for the child to go to secondary school or a tertiary institution, or to apply for a passport. This time lag gives room for all sorts of manipulation of dates and figures.

In several other countries, registration of birth must be done within 60 or 90 days after the child is born.

"Declaration of Age" is still accepted in Nigeria, regardless of when the person was born.

People mention whatever age or date of birth they are comfortable with, because the Nigerian system allows it.

[quote author= post=83075958]We don't disappoint in everything, we always break record legally and illegally, if its legally, Oyinbo will claims its their people by birth or citizenship but if it's illegally, Na Nigeria even if he was born there with mix oyinbo and naija parent[/quote]It is not stated anywhere in the report that Daniel Fakoya is a Nigerian.

The reference to a "Nigerian" was only mentioned on the Nairaland front page.

From the actress' narrative, her mistake was not in having cosmetic surgery, but in broadcasting it on social media.

Nobody needed to know about any cosmetic adjustment she was going to have.

She should have just had the surgery quietly, recuperated, and moved on as though nothing happened.

How he was dressed was his business.

Lightning would not strike a person within a hotel room without any building or property damage?

The fact of the story is that someone died in a hotel room.

It is for the relevant agencies to determine whether the person's death was as a result of natural causes, an accident, suicide or murder.

Itakpe, which is close to Okene, is in Kogi State. What is the distance in km from Abuja to Itakpe?

If the distance is 260 km, and the cost of the railway construction is $3.9 billion, that would translate to $15 million per km. This cost is fair if it is light rail built to international standard; otherwise it is outrageous.

doris00:
Speaking in Abuja during the signing ceremony, Amaechi said that the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement states that Nigeria will take care of 15% of the cost, while CRCC will handle 10% of it.

The minister also stated that the remaining 75% will be borrowed by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which the federal government will pay back in a period of 30 years after which it will take back ownership of the assets.

What or who is the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)? Are they a group of Nigerian companies or foreign companies?

Even though the expenditure is for a capital project, is it really wise to borrow 85% (10% + 75%) of $3.9 billion, which is approximately $3.3 billion, to be paid back over a period of 30 years with compound interest?

Sexual harassment laws should be inclusive of every workplace, not just tertiary institutions.

A sexual relationship between a lecturer and his/her student should be viewed as professional misconduct, and should be handled by the school authorities.

A five-year jail term for sexual harassment is too harsh. Sexual harassment is not as severe as rape. A prison sentence of six months, with an option of fine, is appropriate.

Nksleek:
When passed into law, vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and other chief executives of institutions of higher learning will go to jail for two years if they fail to act within a week on complaints of sexual harassment made by students.

This part should not be included at all. Criminal investigations are the job of the police and the Ministry of Justice (state and federal). Those who work in these institutions do not have jail term threats for not acting within a week after a complaint has been lodged.

Imagine if there are five hundred sexual harassment complaints within a space of five days; and the chief executive of the institution must act on each and every complaint or face jail term! What if some complaints do not get to the vice chancellor's desk within a week?

The bill, if passed as it is stated, will only encourage brain drain.

Nksleek:
Senator Omo-Agege believes that students, regardless of age are incapable of giving voluntary consent to unwelcomed sexual advances or demands for sexual favours by lecturers in any student-lecturer fiduciary relationship.

The age of consent is 18 years. Being a student from the age of 18 years does not turn him/her into a minor. However, the lecturer could still be liable for professional misconduct.

Did the person who carried out the procedure have the relevant professional training and qualification?

Why was the stretch-marks removal not, first of all, performed on a small patch of skin to determine whether the client would be able to tolerate the procedure?

Regardless of anybody's political aspirations, telling an ethnic group to go to h*** is hate speech.

How can lightning strike a person within a hotel room without any building or property damage?

The fact of the story is that someone died in a hotel room.

It is for the relevant agencies to determine whether the person's death was as a result of natural causes, an accident, suicide or murder.

Everybody has a right to defend himself against any allegations.

Whether the accused is guilty or innocent is a different matter; but to say that a person should not defend himself is totally off.

EFCC generally serves foreign interests. It is almost as if foreign governments or companies tell EFCC what to do.

In this particular case, a South African company has used EFCC against Nigerian citizens.

planetx:
No the new law is for people already living in the US trying to bring their spouses, children or parents over not for people applying for tourists visa.

Thank you for your response.

Does this mean that the United States Embassy will insist that visa applicants must pay for health insurance before submitting their application?

It is for the state governments to encourage primary and secondary school education.

The word "hijab" is not mentioned in the letter.

In fact, there is no reference to any dress code in the letter.

B3sty:
Na wao! Seems EFCC only Job Schedule is to go after Yahoo Boys Now...
What about our Politicians who are Milking Nigeria? They are the Main Yahoo Men!

EFCC serves foreign interests.

If the activities of some persons, who are allegedly "milking Nigeria," have no adverse effect on foreigners (especially United States citizens), EFCC would show little or no interest.

Someone who understands the language should kindly provide a transcript of the conversation in English?

Why is rain still falling in October?

In the southern part of the country, the rainy season begins in the late weeks of February/early weeks of March and ends in October.
