Nigeria currently generates a miserly 4000MW of electricity. Peter Obi claims he can increase this to 800,000MW by 2028. Is this realistic/feasible or even necessary?

MadamVanessa:



Only in USA

If it was in the days that racism was on high level, they would've accused black people living in the area as they accused innocent young George Stinney , or since the sisters are black, it wouldn't have mattered at all.

Are you okay? Nothing you typed made any sense at all

I got married two months ago. I am 7 months pregnant my husband didn't tell me he had a child from his previous relationship and the child has a disability celebral palsy. Her mother came to dropped her off in my house saying she has done enough and she's tired it is now hubby turn to take care of her.

The child can't do anything for herself she can't sit, talk, walk and she does toilet in her clothes. I can't do it anymore I love children because I have taken care of my own nieces and nephews before I would have taken care of her if she was normal but taking care of a child in this question is hard and if her own mother has had enough she abandoned her and why would I kill myself taking care of her in my condition.

I want to divorce and go back to my village I have told him i am leaving next month. He is pleading with me not to leave him that he will take the child somewhere else but the place is not free he has to be paying like 200k monthly for them to take care of the child and he doesn't even have that amount of money because he is not financial stable.

I will stick to my decision but I want to know what will other people do in my situation.

I totally agree with you about not wanting to put up with taking care of a severely disabled child that requires 24 hour care.

Dont divorce him (yet). Go back to your parents till you have your child. If he makes alternative arrangements for the disabled child then you can consider getting back with him if you still trust him. Hiding a child from your girlfriend then wife is a big red flag.

Reuben Abati very apt

And this same Reuben led the pack of purpoted journalists who made big news of the claim that 'fake/unknown bishops' attended the official unveiling of Shettima.

Without investigating the claim, they went with the narrative and made it a hot topic. Where is the substance in that?

Emperor Him Tu Lie

Begoodtoothers:
Though I'm very Obident, I've got issues with establishing state police under the control of governors. An incumbent governor will use to oppress the opposition. Imagine a Shettima in charge of State Police for his State. Hisbah is abusive in the North, Amotekun has had some unnecessary clashes and Ebubeagu was accused of killing some youths in Imo state.

There has to be checks and balances on governors in regards to this state police issues

You are smart. Most people just scream state police without thinking of its implications.

1. The state police will simply become a governor's own ethnic military force.

2. Criminals will simply migrate to states with the least security funding and the quality of life will become lower in those states.

kingyakos:
Oga it's monthly ooo

Mr Khalid Abdel Aziz is not even the highest paid in Lafarge, the highest paid in lafarge ends 800million

You are a dullard. You said the highest in lafarge 'ends' N800 million yet you say Aziz earning N268 million (monthly according to you) is not the highest paid in Lafarge.

Dafuq?!

How come this stress affects sickle cell patients for work but not for sex?

You are a grade A F00L.

VeryWickedMan:
I'm failing to see the correlation between sickle cell and not wanting to do meaningful work

Every reasonable job in the world includes intensive effort.



Does he Bleep?

I really want to cuss you out but I suspect you have typed this out of ignorance. Use Google to educate yourself about the struggles of a sickle cell survivor and maybe you'll learn to show empathy. Think before you type.

VeryWickedMan:
Lol
See low budget plane with the fans exposed like a Rambo-era helicopter.

Cheap flight, cheap death

Dullard + ignorance = wasted life

1stGenAmerican:
You’re extremely delusional if you think the British prosecutors will tell the world about all the evidence and witnesses they have before the trial commences. Our discourse stops here. Goodbye

You are a grade A f00l!

You said the western countries only reveal a fraction of their evidence to the defendant but then drop a shocker in court. Thats absolute rubbish.

1stGenAmerican:
If more people in Nigeria possessed your great critical thinking skills, the country would be on its way to the top.
I agree with you, it’s going to be a long bumpy ride. Hopefully, you already know that Western countries only reveal a fraction of the evidence they have against defendants leaving what’s produced in court to be a shocker.

Again what kind of a lawyer types this rubbish? Have you ever heard of something called Disclosure?!

In 'western countries', the prosecution dont spring surprises (what you call a shocker) on defendants in court. That goes against everything the justice system stands for.

You are a fantasist!

Vatsyayana:
Oga, it will be a waste of tax payers money and abuse of power and state resources to charge a person to court based of probable cause in a criminal case.
UK is not Nigeria o. Nobody is talking of arrest here, we are talking of prosecution. The case has gone beyond arrest.

Comprehension. The quack lawyer said people dont get arrested on mere allegations and I responded that people get arrested based on reasonable suspicion/probable cause.

Cant you mofos read?!

1stGenAmerican:
Nope, and I don’t get my facts from social media or bloggers that are habitual liars.

Good.

So why have you been asking the silly question why Ekweremadu's lawyers havent come out to deny the claims in the daily mail.

You lawyer hat should tell you they dont have to and probably dont read all that nonsense. They will be busy preparing a defence to refute the claims in court

Vatsyayana:
Probable Cause is not enough to charge a person to court (it may be enough to commence investigation) for a criminal case where the standard is proof beyond reasonable doubt.
No you no Sabi criminal law.

slowpoke. Reasonable suspicion/probable cause to arrest is what I wrote in answer to the quacks claim that in sane climes they do not arrest on mere alleagtions.

Learn to read, comprehend and engage your brain before opening your mouth

1stGenAmerican:
Sane countries don’t arrest on mere allegations.

You are definitely not a lawyer, maybe a tea lady in a low level fim in some backwater US city. You only need reasonable suspicion /probable cause to arrest. These are very low bars. Millions of arrests are carried out based on mere allegations.

1stGenAmerican:
Actually, I am fact based and I have a record of winning.
Everything I’m saying is based on facts straight from the UK Police, hospital, and courts. I don’t read blogs run by illiterate Nigerian bloggers who will publish anything as long as they are paid.

do you argue your client's case on social media/blogs or in the courts?

No need to educate you folks. Some of you have never been to a real court.
The government lawyer(the prosecutor) will twist the stories to fit his or her narratives. It is up to the Defense attorney to poke holes in the prosecutor's charges. It is a battle. The prosecutor's job is to ensure that they are convicted. The Defense attorney's job is to counter him/her, provide legal counsel to Ekweremadu and arrange a plea deal for them if necessary. Some prosecutors can be very aggressive.

Either way, I wish them luck. Pray never to be used in the Chess play in a legal system. Do I feel sorry for the Ekweremadus? No! The level of impunity in Nigeria is outrageous.

People wont understand this. I was on trial in the crown court last summer and whilst I was on the stand, it got so comical that at some point I started laughing at the story the well spoken prosecutor was narrating even though I was facing 6 charges and prison time if convicted.

The prosecutor look at the facts of the case and come up with as plausible a story as possible. In court, lawyers dont say maybe, they say things ike they were there and saw it happen.

1stGenAmerican:
So the British police, hospital, and courts are lying? The people in Britain created the fake passport they have in their possession? When are the couple’s lawyers going to make the police, hospital, and court retract what you feel is a lie? The passport will be used as evidence, shouldn’t they have done that by now? Read it. They say it’s a passport with a fake age.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10950461/Lincoln-Uni-BANS-organ-harvesting-Nigerian-professor-trafficked-teen-fake-passport.html

I doubt you are a lawyer. Any sensible lawyer should know these are just allegations and not hard facts.

1stGenAmerican:
Why aren’t their lawyers speaking up and calling the UK Police and Courts out on what you feel is a lie then? They have the fake passport in their possession.

I don’t practice law in the UK but I practice in the US and I’ve seen numerous fake passports and forged documents.

Then you are a terrible lawyer. Do you argue your clients cases in the court of public opinion on social media/blogs or in the courts?

Discountsempai:
Can you give examples?

Just curious ..am not a legal somebody

They are illiterates. They dont understand how the Supreme court works. They think its one man just making decisions.

Fuc king corrupt,Sharia court judge that should never have smelt an ordinary customary court,talkless a supreme court bench.
One of the f ucking nepotic legacies of Buhari, neglecting all commonsense,in order to entrench and codify his ingrained nepotic tendencies.

Tribalistic fool!

That football Journalist is reporting with Sentiment. It was clean offside.
Meanwhile, the Vawulent Kano Pillars Chairman should be banned from Football.

Are you dull or just trolling? Do you understand the offside rule?

Patriot9:
I think it's a mistake. Either they wanted to put 750 and mistakenly put 7500 or that's not the bread stand and the attendant who arranged the bread didn't bother or forgot to remove that 7500 which is for another product

Or fake news. £10 for a brioche loaf? Big lie!

Why didnt the blogger provide the name of the store?

ashawopikin:
lease can't be buy, lease means is your for a particular number of time/years

You are ignorant and refuse to be educated

Deed of lease doesn't mean rent. It is used for properties where ownership of the land on which it is built reverts to the land owner (landlord) after a specified number of years e.g 99 years, 999 years.

i just dey laugh as i dey read this thing because no be curse, last last you and your brother go chop breakfast.

No matter how useless, rubbish, evil e.t.c. you think you immediate family members (blood) are, they will always be better than any stranger called wife or girlfriend. Tell your useless wife to apologise to your brothers wife to make 'peace' then concentrate on your children and brother and any other family members you ove. These ones wey e be like say una wives don see una finish, if they start dem attack, na only your chosien deity go fit save una.

Looks like your brither is the bigger MU.MU. I really cant stop laughing

Plantain is expensive now because it is going out of season. Most places will sell this quantity for 1k or slightly lesser.

You are right about the cheating part. If you want to dash, go ahead but don't encourage dishonesty.

its not dishonesty, it is capitalism. A seller can mark up the price of his/her prodcut by however much they desire. It is for the buyer to decide if it is a fair price.
