But was stabbed severally, till he broke down and died.
The cultists ran away, but were given a hot chase by some vigilante in the area. luckily two were caught, and they are currently in Police detention... I wonder why the community allowed them to be arrested!!!. A big shame. |

Curry30: Diamond Bank is in crisis. I've been a customer since 2011. Lately they are forcing all customers to apply for ATM cards That's just a strategy to raise money from their customers & subject them to ATM maintenance charges and other hidden charges. They won't even allow you withdraw unless u apply for an ATM card...just imagine.
Pls, empty your accounts before it's too late. As for me I transferred all my funds out to GTB. Left #48 for them. Hahahaha. Why won't they force customers to apply for ATM card when some customers come to the bank to do only N1,000 transaction. Maybe you are one of those customers who like crowded banking halls and enjoy passing time queueing to get cash? Economies of scale say it doesn't make sense. Do you know why? The bank has to run diesel generators, pay staff salaries and also pay government taxes. It is always easier and cheaper when customers execute their transactions via electronic means and most importantly it is Central bank recommendations as part of cashless policy. Selection of banks is purely on people's discretion. But you won't find any bank in Nigeria in 2017 that would not insist on you having either an ATM card, Internet banking.or mobile banking. |

ol2012: It's quite disturbing that you seem so bothered about the staff currently on the bank's payroll, but ironically unconcerned about the unlawfully exited staff.
I did tell you to go and study the bank's financials from 2014 to date to ascertain my claim and even assisted you with two different links. If you are so bothered about the bank's staff, then why are you so lazy to do what I advised you to do? After all, Buhari was not yet president in 2014 and the country was not in recession then.
The import of this thread is to let Nigerians know the injustice meted out to the disengaged staff which they have now gone to court to seek redress for. It is not about running down the bank, after all if the bank's management paid off the affected staff(like others bank's that also laid off same same year did) there won't be a need for the legal action as well as this thread.
Did you read in the original post that the retrenchment was carried out even against the advise of the country's labor minister? All that concerns you is that the bank should not go down, even if they continue perpetrating heinous corporate criminal offenses.
Nawa for you oh Oga! What part of my last paragraph is so.difficult for you to understand. "Like I earlier mentioned, I don't have issues with people fighting for their rights, I only have issues with people misinterpreting facts." |

Yet another. Just try to source for and study the bank's financials from 2014/2015 to date I don't have to be a "customer, investor or staff" before I can state the facts. The Op did not give facts that the bank is going south and what you attached is 2015 and 2016 results. You should be smart enough to know that fortunes can change between April 2016 and April 2017 (when the bank will post its end of year result) and you cannot predict a bank's profitability based on the past year result. The way it changed for the bank for 2015 and 2016. Besides, can you list 10 organization in Nigeria that did not have profitability issues from the onset of Buhari administration in 2015? I am saying this because this kind of "false news" can have a negative effect on banks. Bank in Nigeria have gone distress because of this kind of news. Remember, thousand of people are on the payroll of the bank. Do you want the bank to collapse for them to be jobless? Like I earlier mentioned, I don't have issues with people fighting for their rights, I only have issues with people misinterpreting facts. |

Family › Re: 17.2% Of My Monthly Salary Goes To My Wife & Yet... by pokipoki: 7:36pm On Mar 24, 2017 |
skypeme: Dear reasonable people on Nairaland, please I need your advise
My wife whom I love so much and also loves me too is entitled to 17.2% of my monthly income, my salary is 175kpm and she take 17.2% of this amount, yet she feels very uncomfortable with it
I pay the bills, buy food stuff every month and take care of our little baby girl
My baby girl does not take any local food, she takes only fresogold, tea and pap, the cost of fresogold is very high and she can consume 4tins in a month
My wife isn't not working yet she is still schooling and I pay all her fees,
I've never complaint of my duty as the head of the family yet she still feels unsatisfied with the 17.2% I give to her
Her primary duty in the house is to take care of our baby and prepare my dinner every week days and both break fast and dinner during the weekend
Recently I told her to take our baby to the hospital for treatment, our total bill was 11,500 naira but my wife suprisinly told me that the hospital bill is 22,700 naira which I immediately wired to her account
So I called the hospital to make inquiries about the exorbitant bill then I got to know that my wife inflated the hospital bill to 22,700 naira
I confronted her and she spoke to me very rudly I was not happy about this, I kept quite and didn't say anything about it again
I am thinking I should penalize her for her rude behaviour and the dishonesty she has melted on me
Will it be advisable not to pay her her monthly salary for two months ?
Will this correct her brain to default and what would possibly be the implication of doing this ?
She has not apologised and she has not seen anything wrong so far in what she has done What exactly do you mean by penalizing her? Do you mean beating her? |

Politics › Re: Wike Needs Prayers And Deliverance ~benue CPS by pokipoki: 10:55pm On Mar 23, 2017 |
mashin: WIKE NEEDS PRAYERS OF DELIVERANCE
We read on the front page of today's Daily Sun newspaper a report credited to Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, calling for a declaration of a state of emergency in Benue State. He said his call was based on the current security situation in the state. Governor Wike who is expected to know the powers and limits of a state governor with regard to security matters, without any provocation whatsoever, attacked his counterpart, Governor Samuel Ortom over his handling of unfortunate security developments in Benue State.
If indeed Governor Wike granted the interview in the manner reported by the newspaper, then his utterances are jaundiced and reckless. What he therefore needs are prayers for deliverance. His call which implies the dismantling of democracy structures and military takeover in Benue State has exposed him as a man who does not believe in civil rule. He has thus lost the basis of being a democratically elected governor.
This is the second time that Governor Wike has launched unwarranted attacks on the person and office of Governor Ortom since he travelled with his colleagues, the Progressive Governors to Port Harcourt in December last year to campaign for All Progressives Congress, APC candidates in the Rivers re-run National Assembly election. The APC won in key areas where Wike had declared war before the polls and he obviously has not forgiven the APC governors, particularly Governor Ortom.
Perhaps Governor Wike needs to be educated on the efforts his counterpart in Benue has made to ensure security in Benue State. Governor Ortom was the first to declare amnesty to armed youths in his inaugural speech on 29th May, 2015. The disarmament programme resulted in the recovery of over 600 arms and ammunition with about 800 youths embracing the amnesty initiative.
Governor Ortom has made sustained efforts to promote peace between farmers and herdsmen as well as deepening inter-state peace building efforts with Taraba and Nasarawa States. The Governor's contacts with the Presidency, Chief of Army Staff and Inspector General of police resulted in the deployment of troops to curb the herders and farmers crisis in Agatu, Tarka, Makurdi, Logo, Buruku, Guma and Gboko local government areas. He has purchased patrol vehicles for police and other security agencies and prevailed on the military authorities to establish a special brigade to fight the invasion of Benue communities.
The Governor has inaugurated security committees at the state, local government, ward and kindred levels to tackle security challenges at each of those levels. Governor Ortom has consistently been advocating the establishment of ranches as a permanent solution to end the clashes between farmers and herdsmen and has consequently sent an executive bill on anti-open grazing prohibition and establishment of ranches bill to the State House of Assembly. Public hearings on the bill are ongoing in the three senatorial districts of the state.
When armed Fulani herdsmen invaded Buruku and Gboko local government areas last week, the Governor visited promply and ensured their exit from the area. His efforts have led to the rescue of people, especially children from kidnappers and has provided support for the Civilian Joint Task Force and the vigilante groups in the state to complement the efforts of conventional security agencies.
Following Governor Ortom's visit to Zaki-Biam on Tuesday this week and the quick action he took, security has been beefed up to restore peace in the affected areas. Arrests of some suspects have also been made besides assistance given to victims to access sustained and better medical attention.
On the other hand, there are reports that over 400 people believed to be mostly members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been killed, with some beheaded in Omoku community and its environs in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area of Rivers State by cultists that were recruited and armed by Governor Nyelsom Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
During the December 10, 2016 re-run election in Rivers State, a police officer, DSP Alkali was beheaded and his driver shot dead and buried in a shallow grave at Ijiji community in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA. As we speak, no fewer than 200 people have been killed and several communities destroyed in Ogoni area of Rivers State by cultists who were reportedly armed by Wike and the PDP.
In 2016, Wike organised amnesty programme for known cultists in the state, but deliberately refused to recover arms and other dangerous weapons from cultists in Ogoni with the hope of using them for the December 10, 2016 election, which the PDP lost in Ogoniland. So, after the elections, the cultists now turned the guns against their fellow Ogoni brothers, killing and maiming on daily basis.
Recall that the report of the joint panel set up by the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the violence during the December 10, 2016 re-run election indicted Governor Wike for his role in the attack and harassment of electoral officers who refused to do his bidding during the election. No fewer than 23 officials of INEC, who were bribed by Governor Wike to rig the polls for the PDP are currently standing trial at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Before the December 10, 2016 re-run election, Governor Wike was caught on tape threatening to kill officials of INEC who refused to rig the election in favour of his party. Late last year, Governor Wike prevented operatives of the DSS from effecting the arrest of Federal High Court judges who were accused of corruption. Governor Wike has also openly identified with militants and as we speak, no fewer than six known militants are either members of the Rivers State House of Assembly or chairmen of local government councils in Rivers State.
For a man who presides over a state where thugs reign supreme, terrorizing innocent people in all local government areas of the state, Governor Wike clearly lacks moral justification to point accusing finger at Governor Ortom. Rivers is the only state in the country at the moment where youths corps members can no longer take part in the conduct of elections . It is on record that Governor Wike recently warned every corps member posted to his state for elections to write their wills before accepting the responsibility. Allegations that a corps member was murdered in Ahoada on his orders are rife. He therefore has no reason to call for emergency rule in another state. If state of emergency is to be declared in any state of the federation, that state is Nyesom Wike's Rivers.
His blatant disregard for the rule of law is known to all. That's one unique difference between him and Governor Ortom. While the Rivers Governor takes pleasure in bloodbath, Governor Ortom is a peace-loving leader who employs dialogue and other conflict resolution approaches to end crisis in his state. Governor Wike's call for emergency rule is therefore not only diversionary but also devoid of any shred of reasoning befitting the status of a man trusted with the responsibility of leading a state. We advise the embattled Governor to face the numerous charges of election fraud, rigging and violence leveled against him by Rivers people and leave Benue State alone. Benue is currently in the hands of a God-fearing Governor who is working tirelessly to guarantee the safety of lives and property.
Signed: Terver Akase Chief Press Secretary March 23, 2017. I am not surprised by this response. Personally, I believe the governor does not understand a lot of things bodering on security. As a governor, he is the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of a state. The function of a CSO is to prevent crimes from happening in the first place. The only way a CSO can try to prevent crime is adopting a strategic approach to crime fighting and not trying to give excuses why such crime happened. The governor to a large extent has not been strategic in fighting crime in benue state. Rather the governor has adopted a "prayer approach" which has failed and is responsible for the large number of violence related deaths in the state since 2015. If nothing, the Governor Ortom, should consult with Lagos state on their model on crime prevention . Lagos state approach to crime prevention has been very strategic and has so far reduced crime signifcantly. Looking at model has three major areas of concentration. Firstly, the policemen are motivated by been paid a second salary from the state government. This is exclusive of Federal government salary. Secondly, the police force in Lagos to a large extent are equipped with modern communication gadgets and vehicles, especially Amoured Personnel Carriers (APC). Thirdly, the most important of all, the police are engaged in 24 hours routine and unscheduled patrols all over the state, especially violent hotspots The state has emergency lines that citizens in distress can call. Benue state lacks all the above. The governor needs to invest heavily on security and not by been " God-loving", otherwise the state will become ungovernable. |
