In some states that follow the contributory negligence standard, if a driver hits a pedestrian who was jaywalking, the driver can't be liable to pay for all the costs associated with treating the pedestrian's injuries.
The driver (or the insurance company) could, at most, be liable to pay 50-60% of the associated costs of the pedestrian''s injury, while the injured pedestrian will cover the rest. Moreover, the driver could be sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress by the pedestrian, although most courts will be hesitant to award costs to the defendant because IIED is very speculative in nature.

If Governor Dankwambo becomes the PDP Presidential nominee, would the likes of Governors El Rufai and Tambuwal be quaking in their boots?
Does Dankwambo have the political machinery, charisma, and connections to split or carry the South-west and North-central which will be the swing zones in the February 16, 2019 presidential election?

I mentioned the latter two governors because there is a BIG possibility that Buhari will decline to run for re-election due to his age and health.

Governor Ibrahim Dakwambo of Gombe State is among those who have been tipped to pick the presidential ticket of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2019 general elections. A man of excellent performance and integrity, analysts say Dakwambo could readily appeal to the electorate in the 2019 presidential election.


It is evident that the long suffering Nigerians have had enough of gerontocracy while majority of them are prepared to do away with this unworkable idea in 2019. What the nation needs at this time of untold economic hardship and insecurity is a young President who is fresh with new ideas and innovative concepts. This appears the only path to tread if the country is to experience true progress beyond 2019. PDP being the major opposition party could not have hoped for a better opportunity and time to return to power than now. Dakwambo, a man of proven record of achievements and who has never had an appointment with any of the anti-corruption agencies, can get the votes of Nigerians in any presidential poll.

The great, 55, would have only turned 57 by 2019. Our youths who dominate the nation’s population must resolve never to submit the leadership of this country to any man whose age is above 70 years. The youths need to wake up from their slumber and rescue this nation from retrogression with their votes in the forthcoming election. The ruling class comprising mostly of the elders has held the nation down for too long and there cannot be a better time to rescue her from their firm grip than now. The elders have been given all the chances but they simply cannot give what they do not have. Their lack of modern ideas and innovative concepts has sadly manifested in their archaic policy plans that have consigned the nation’s developmental vehicle to a permanent reverse gear.

Aside the fact that Dakwambo is a relatively young man, he is also roundly experienced, exposed and educated. He is educated to the level of PhD and passed through the qualifying examinations of seven professional bodies. He was awarded the membership of the professional institutions after attaining success in their examinations. He is BSc holder from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where he graduated with second class upper division in accounting. The result was the best obtained by any individual in then Bauchi State at the time the governor graduated from the institution. He is also a holder of master’s degree in economics from University of Lagos and a post graduate diploma in computer science from Delta State University Abraka. He obtained his PhD from Igbinedion University, Okada.

The career achievements of Dakwambo in the private and public sectors is another major attribute that cut him out as the ideal presidential candidate of the PDP. He began his glowing career at the Coopers and Lybrand International, now PriceWaterHouseCoopers, as a chartered accountant from 1985 to 1988. It is on record that he became a chartered accountant at a record time of one year after his graduation from the university. He later joined the Central Bank of Nigeria in 1988 and worked with the apex bank until 1999 when then Governor Abubakar Habu Hashidu appointed him as the Accountant General of Gombe State . From there, former President Olusegun Obasanjo appointed him as the Accountant General of the Federation in 2005. Before this, Dankwambo had served in various committees on the Federation Account where his resourcefulness became evident. It was during Dakwambo’s tenure as Accountant General of the Federation the he introduced the Integrated Payroll Personnel Information System (IPPIS). Central payment of salaries of staff in all the ministries, departments and agencies using an automated system was also introduced. He was part of the revolution in the public sector that brought e-payment system.The use of cheques has since been eliminated in the government transactions at the federal level. Courtesy of this innovation, contractors, staff and service providers now get their accounts credited automatically through e-payment.

He also ensured that the financial statements of the federal government which were in arrears were brought up to date, prepared, audited and published before he left office. Dakwambo equally completed the Treasury House. The Treasury House stands out today in Abuja as one of the most magnificent edifices. It was against the backdrop of these achievements that he contested the governorship of Gombe in 2011 and the story of the state changed dramatically on his assumption of office. He was recently adjudged the best performing governor in the northern part of the country. In his first four years in office, he revolutionized agriculture in Gombe. He procured 225 tractors and constructed several markets to encourage cotton farming in the state. Dakwambo has practically turned around the fortune of education in Gombe. He constructed over 502 classrooms and recruited well over 1,000 degree and NCE graduates to teach students among other achievements in education.

Jordan Pickford has definitely earned a spot on England’s World Cup squad! Joe Hart, Jack Butland, and Forster Frasier will battle for the other two goalkeeper spots.

Even if she is wearing only bra and panties, the guy should behave himself if she makes it clear that she doesn’t appreciate those kinds of comments.

Atiku2019:

Dankwambo 2019

I'd say after two years of working for a company. You'd also need to have a stellar evaluation by your supervisor or manager before asking for a raise.

In other words, Father Mbaka is predicting that Gov. Dankwambo of Gombe will be the next president.

I personally this prediction will come to pass because Nigeria needs a youthful leader, who has the right experience to lead the country. Governor Dankwambo is 56, has served as the Accountant-General of the federation, and is now a 2-term governor of Gombe.

City only need to win 12 of their remaining 18 league games to set a new record for the most wins in a single season.

Well, City did their best today. Although I wished they extend their lead to a 16-point gap, I’m still happy that they remain unbeaten and have a 14-point lead.

I hope KDB’s injury is only a minor one oh.

raumdeuter:
That was a dive

Abi o
I thought I was the only one who thought so. Zaha should be ashamed of himself.

Ederson, thank you!!!! What a penalty save

Roland17:

I want them to equal and break the record for the most consecutive league wins

Come on City.

If you were to select an African all-star 11 for a World Cup match next year, which players would you pick?
Note: You can only pick players from the 5 African nations that qualified for the World Cup.

I’d go with the following:

——————-El Hadary—————-

—-Shehu—-Ekong—-Balogun—-Idowu—

—————-Ndidi—-Onazi————

———————-Mikel—————-

—-Salah——-Sane——-Victor Moses——

The airport is partially closed to enable the useless FAAN complete some work on the runway

Ok

^^
I thought the airport is closed. Or have they opened it without the knowledge of the media?

BTW, it’s nice that Ethiopian Airlines has brought the A350 to Enugu, which is a sign of increasing passenger numbers.

Lukaku is out for one month.

It’s unthinkable that Mourinho would be SEVENTEEN points behind Guardiola before the new year.
At Real Madrid, his team was never more than 8 points behind Barca in La Liga (in the 2010/11 season).
It’s definitely Mou’s worst top-flight season as a coach since 2004.

Drink water for Balon D’or

Tomorrow, I’ll watch Pep and City equaling the record for the most consecutive wins in a top 5 League.

With reference to this post (https://www.nairaland.com/3502484/yankee-through-eyes-village-boy/99#58635989),

I'm here to give tips on how I've been handling the social media attention from these sugar ants.

==============================

The trick I use is quite simple. Turn up the heat.

Lemme explain

Most of these sugar ants live in perpetual fear of their nudes leaking in public, and trust nigerian blogs, they would carry the story for weeks and weeks. On the other hand, they send nudes without you even asking, they'd basically spam your inbox with their pictures showing their bodies (but not their faces). I noticed this not quite long ago, and what I did was simple.

Each time they want to act stupid, ask for nudes showing their faces, if they send, ask for a specific pose. Like her putting one feet in the air and sending the nudes, just make up lewd poses for her, turn up the heat and watch them scram, like the sugar ants that they are.

FrankNetter:
You no even invite me. na wah for you o

Boss, no vex oh. When I’m running around getting stuff for the party, my mind no dey straight.

How’s the celebration on your side?

On the 25th, a fellow Church member and friend hosted us to a Xmas party. Then yesterday, we hosted others. Was happy that friends and family turned up.

Fish123:
PDPGuy it been a while, how your side....
Merry Xmas to you boss, any random pix from that end

Merry Christmas and compliments of the season to you too.

Yeah, I’ve been busy going from one Christmas party and holding another one.

In other words, his shirt and pants cost $4,690 which = the salary of an average U.S. resident

Chai, money good oh.

José Mourinho says ‘£300m not enough’ for Manchester United to compete

José Mourinho pointed to how Manchester City have bought full-backs for the usual value of strikers and said Manchester United’s investment of close to £300m since he arrived is not enough to compete, after his side could only draw 2-2 with Burnley at Old Trafford.

Although the result cut the deficit to City to 12 points after United battled back from 2-0 down at half-time, thanks to two goals from the substitute Jesse Lingard, Pep Guardiola’s side can stretch their lead to 15 if they win at Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

Afterwards, Mourinho was reminded that United have dropped eight points from their past five matches and was asked whether such a gap might be unacceptable for a club of United’s stature.


“One thing is a big club and another thing is a big football team. They are two different things,” he said. “We are in the second year of trying to rebuild a football team that is not one of the best teams in the world. Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers. When you speak about big football clubs, you are speaking about the history of the club.”

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/dec/26/jose-mourinho-300m-pounds-not-enough-manchester-united

This must be a big joke. If you can’t be in a title race despite spending £300 million, then you don’t deserve to coach one of the biggest teams in club football.
