Why did she consent to the "post-sex picture" in the first case?

You are not married to the man but you take 'pre, during and post sex' pictures with him (them in some cases).
How many married women have/are been blackmailed for their penchant to document their premarital amorality?

Ladies will never learn.

Just destroyed her life. Society will spare the man. Just make sure you hang onto him be ause it will not spate her. Damaged goods.

And what happens to OBJ n Atiku It was their regime that first have out the oil Wells to Malabu.

If there is any bias then both him and his supporters should clear any doubt by honouring the summons.. .. except there is some edict somewhere prohibiting him as an ex-president from answering democratic calls of accountability.

Why. Is ex-president Jonathan above the law. Great privilege comes wity great responsibility. If there is no precedent he should start one of accountability. I have great respect for the Legislature. They seem to be doing a good job this administration.

I know hin barber for Ilorin


hin name nah J************

just say Jarus and lets close for the day eh....

Me too, am at a loss for this....maladministration of ....personal integrity....I mean has the power provider joined the strike at his salon or did he hear the army was invading..... or was he protesting the part payment of the Paris Club refund....

My question to auto gurus is why technology has not evolved to have cars come with built in or factory fitted fire supressants located in the trunk or more appropriately the engine bay the way jet engines are built. I mean PMS is certainly more flammable than Jet A1 and when you have top cars and trucks going for upwards of a $100,000, you'd think passenger safety and property security would be a wiser consideration than LED moonlights or two rear facing 12 inch screens just centimetres apart.

Paul Walker may have lived with such a system in place when it is widely known that a lot of fire deaths are as a result of trapped victims. Of what good is an extinguisher in the glove compartment or under the seat of a mangled car. Someone is not thinking right here.

erico2k2:
In reality fire extinguishers do not expire rather they should be serviced and checked to see if the mechanism are working correctly . If spent then it should be replaced and serviced . Does water have expiry date for putting out fire ?

Are they filled with water these days....just asking.

GOODLUCK tenure seems to better this goverment.

My friend the way I rate people, places and systems is by their sustainability, their ability to project a positive future. A good parent in one that produces a kid better than himself to keep the good name of the family alive. A good CEO is one that will keep the company running long after his departure. A good president is one who will leave the country stronger, more united and more prosperous. That is one having better fundamentals than he met it.

That is why I say it is not in the number of roads built, the foreign reserve, exchange rate or even inflation. The parent may not have wealth to bequeath, the company may not be paying great salaries or providing officials cars to staff but if the fundamentals of justice, equity, the rule of law can be advanced, it is the biggest sign this country will be around in a hundred years and it is this stability that brings prosperity. Who will invest in a country torn apart by constant ethic turbulence.

So you can rate all leaders from independence till today and find out who did most to guarantee that.

Topmaike007:
this goverment is nonsense dey av left dia corruption agenda and start chasing another thing.

Have I not been saying that corruption is not the most important challenge facing Nigeria. Two and a half years of anti-corruption, what is fundamentally better in Nigeria abeg, than the previous 16 years of 4th republic democracy.

Wallade:
Honestly, he must be on very cheap drugs if he actually tried to involve himself in the matter.

hmm.... disappointed he didn't join you in the mud pit of racism or the crab cage of failures.

The only way nations are built is by equity and justice the same way a fine tuned engine is balanced. Once one of the cylinders fails power is lost. To think that this country can continue to oppress it's citizens is just a fallacy.

Wise heads look far into the future when the Buhari's and Kanu's will be long gone to see what the ground they stand on will be like. They know that this country run this way is just not sustainable. The choice is stark. Restructure or collapse.

Terrorists?

That is what is done in a democracy. Right thinking, right moves as the true representatives of the people. The Executive has scored an own goal on this and it will take slot to recover from this gaffe. That's why all the running around to seek justification for a thoughtless act and looking over their shoulders where no one is pursuing. Just pity the Veep. As a lawyer when he tries to preach rule of law in future he won't be taken seriously.

The right of association remains a God given one. The failure to negotiate for the contrary will never bring about peace and stability. If Nigeria is to develop it has to be peaceful and stable. For it to do that it has to negotiate with its constituents, its citizens on a constant basis. Violence or the threat of it solves nothing. Nigeria today is no better than it was two weeks ago. The only shinning light in all these are the courts and that is because they believe in justice.

Nigerians rejoicing that their fellow citizens are being killed for simply asking for justice and equity.... and then expect their country to develop....sad. No one needs a guru to tell how this will all end.

A lot of people here just misunderstand the question which is simple:

How much will the 'building' cost. You have no idea where the inquirer wants to build even if he wants to. He may be a divorce lawyer for all we know. The image provided is all you have as info so respond accordingly.

My take is without interior views a range of between 40 and 50 million.

Jethrolite:
It is obvious you have never built. Land price does not determine building cost rather materials and quality of labour used. In some cases expensive labour does not mean best craftsmanship, best craftsmanship could come from cheaper labour.

You must be a joker. Quality craftsmanship is very, very expensive because their works takes time and patience to achieve. Those who computerize or mechanise will charge you for that. Most top artisans I know do just a couple of jobs a year and some are booked two and three years in advance.
Anyway craftsmanship is art and thus subjective. What may be intriguing to you may be just average to me.

RoyalUc:
It might be true every President gets insulted everyday, but Kanu's case is beyond mere insults. If it were, Fayose, FFK, Reno and others would have come under serious attack. But have you ever heard the President respond to those insults? Remember what happened to Amechi, Tambowa, Tinubu, Okadigbo etc.

What happened. The military was sent after them and they have been hounded into exile so much so that they are in office now abi. The rights you trample upon today are the rights you will need tomorrow. Just pray this government or any other in future suits you because there will be nothing to support your reaction and no one to run to. It is better to be circumspect.

Citizens doing what their government cannot do. There is a complete disconnect between the governed and those who govern.

A couple of things: First the soldiers acting illegally in the mid-east were supposedly at war in which they frequently came against 'combatants' sometimes with equal deadly force in which there were several casualties as such illegal acts were just in tandem with èscalated violence. I didn't see that happening in Abia state.

Secondly he can boast that the army got away with atrocities abroad. Can he equally be sure that is possible on US soil against those perceived to be citizens and not foreign enemy combatants. Can an American soldier or Army attack American civilians and inflict such carnage without reply by any institution of governance. If it can't, I cannot seet ths basis of comparison beyond justifying the acts of a soldier under the pressure of combat.

The two scenarios are just not the same and he is just trying to be clever by half. As a matter of fact he had better watch what he posts and says in public because as a counsel it can be used against him in a court of law should a case and the need arise.

malware:
Did he meet with Zaki Biam people before killing them en mass?

How do you expect a sitting president to bow to somebody who insults him at least a hundred times a day?

Kanu has no respect for nobody, not even his own father, so dialogue is completely out of the equation.

Abeg every President gets insulted everyday. If you are his spokesman better tell the President that in a democracy he is servant not master and servants are not feared. His legacy is on the line and history will remember his faults more. Just ask past leaders. Few will remember what he was called. Most will remember how he reacted.

[quote author=dabossman post=60513385]And how many months was ASUU on strike for when a Ph.D holder was President?

Stop politicizing the issue. It is a national issue irrespective of who or what party is in charge. Nigerian education has been bastardized since the era of the military. The problem must be addressed holistically and through proper legislation.[/quote

And who is in charge of education if not political apointees. Folks like you deserve this kind of country. I only pity those who have no voice and those whose voices have been crushed. Be playing the ostrich there you hear. The government was elected to change things for the positive. They campaigned to provide sound education. Now they have failed you want 'holistic legislation' meaning you rather have faith and hope in the National Assembly than in the Executive but if the National Assembly raises its voice you call them names. If the people they represent speak, they are termed terrorists. Everyone is bad except the Executive. Yet you shield them from responsibility.

fattbabakay:
So, the only way a gal can acquire iphone is by doing runs? Don't you ever reason that some people work legit for their money? Why must you reason like you aren't educated? Are you not??

Few people who legitimately work for money are at the front of the queue for these sort of things. They absolutely see little value in them.

That is what statesmen should do. Sorry to say so but that is sounding presidential, not sectional and parochial whether politically correct or not. He is a northerner and thus has also been tagged unprintable names by Kanu but to lead requires a large heart and common sense not risking anarchy because of insults and arguments. Past presidents and governments were called unprintable names and challenged by seperatists and ethnic militias armed and unarmed. What will cause this carnage against unarmed civilians is just beyond me. Well done Atiku. That is how the late Yaradua did it. A man of peace and of wisdom.

Great development. Keep it up.

realestniggah:
hit Like if you believe this man is the most useless senator in the history of nigeria

You make him one. I can't imagine sending my steward on an errand and this is all I get in return. And to make matters worse all I can do is to rave and rant... And worst of all when your shrink tells you to restructure, that is change the way you relate with your steward you tell your shrink to go to hell, that you like it like that...and 'worstest' you tell your shrink that when your steward gets tired of pleasing himself and leaves you will do anything to bring him back to 'complete his work'....and to make matters 'worsterest'....abeg I don taya. The matter wey dey worry Nigerians pass deliverance.

The sincere truth of the matter is that the society influences what the female gender counts as being important


Luckily adichie was lucky to be flown abroad at a tender age...if not we would not be celebrating her like how we are doing now

Not true. Location has less to do with outlook than exposure. It is the company you are fortunate to keep that matters. Granted she is a global figure because of location but there are many success stories across Nigeria of women that have done exploits, impacted lives, changed the course of destiny and hauled themselves out of seemingly impossible situations by themselves. Some have lived and died without recognition and their names being sung. If you think global recognition is the only yardstick for success then I will further ask, how many men are that successful.

I have been priviledged to have know several women who have lifted themselves from absolute poverty and depravity to educate and empower themselves.

My mum educated herself through primary school, teacher training and ended with a foreign masters degree. She will have gone further but for business which she still runs in her advanced age and she is a self made multi millionaire no questions asked.

My aunt who changed my diapers when mum burnt the midnight oil rose from house help with zero education to become an assistant bank manager at retirement then into business.

Atmosphere and association matters. So the ladies in my life have no reason not to be a Chiamanda even if a less celebrated one. That is why my househelp is a student at the Open University. To me success is simply end worth minus start worth divided by the square of opportunity.

Stkilda:
All this because the IPOB wants to exit Nigeria? They want to exit Nigeria. They claim that most of the people from the South East and South South of Nigeria want to exit Nigeria as well. Why Can’t Nigeria just prove them wrong through a referendum. That is how issues are resolved in the civilized world.

Institutions are weak and it is the interest of dictators and their appendages to keep institutions weak if not such agitations shoukd be channeled through representations but who pays the representatives, governemnt of course, so how will the peoples will be reflected in a system where instead of 'sending a negotiator', the opponent is 'asking you to provide one' and then provides upkeep and lodgings for such a person. What is the person expected to deliver. That is why the system is failed by default and needs to be restructured. Today it is the east, tomorrow it will be somewhere else and the rest of the country will equally not be sympathetic. This system we ooerste will only cause crises after crises for government after government and this recurring turbulence will not let this country develop. We are locked in a viscious cycle. Every administration since 1999 has had to contend with instability caused by weak institutions from Obasanjo to Buhari. Trillions lost to extra-budgetary expenditure on needless conflict and the citizens who are encouraging this don't realize it is they who ultimately pay as the average Nigerian gets poorer year on year. What is the benefit of all of this.

cephas10:
You are not understanding, this guy by all standards has commited a treasonable offence and no country takes treason as a joke. Nnamdi went about insulting Nigeria, insulting Nigerians, and insulted Buhari personally...are u not awarebof all the insults, DAT he will go to abuja and come back buharis head, or DAT he will go to abuja with a number of his army. Do u think its going to be easy picking him up as u have said? After threatening that any army DAT comes to his fathers house to arrest him will die? Was the govt suppose to continue watching him? Nnamdi is lucky that buhari is been civil, many of us if in buharis shoes would have finished this guy since.

Donald Trump gets worse than this everyday from home and abroad. He has at his disposal a 400,000 man strong FBI, an equally strong ATF, a military equal to none consisting of Rangers, Special Forces and Navy Seals. He has a NSA that can watch what type right now if they choose to and a CIA that can take me out in the toilet of my my remote country home tracking the signals of my tablet with a precise drone strike..... yet he gets unprecedented abuse and threats day in, day out....

There are white supremacists in the US, black berets, indigenous Indians, violent gangs, cult groups, anarchists all monitored by law enforcement, all handled by the criminal justice system. Even Trump has had a rough patch himself with Congress, the courts and even the FBI he controls. What do ayou calk greason that does not happen in developed societies every singke day.

Just find out how these countries handle dissent and do like wise and stop being ignorant.

When oil companies pollute the land and treat us like crap we are quick to remind them to behave the same way they do in developed societies. We are quick to remind them of best practices but little do we realize that they plant on the same ground that produce such acts as seen this week by the military. Once there is none or weak ruke of law you simply cannot develop. That is why we advocate for strong institutions not strong men. These institutions will build a just and equitable society. And this will douse tensions making the likes of Kanu irrelevant. When violence occurs it immediately speaks of inabilities, shortcomings. A baby cries because it cannot speak. The military barks because government is a baby. These are things we should consider moving forward.

Stkilda:
The Blackman is evil. No wonder the black people will remain the most backward race in the universe. Here is a black country that cannot even produce any competent doctors to treat their black president. The black president then lives at the mercy of foreign countries for his survival. Here is a military that cannot even produce its own bullets, a military that will crumble and die within a month, if the United Nations places an embargo on the sales of arms to this black country. What does the black president do? He uses the worthless military to humiliate, maim and kill the people he is supposed to lead. And what does the black citizens do? They rejoice that their fellow citizens are being killed. After all, these citizens are of a different ethnicity. The Blackman is evil.

That's why we are the way we are. What are they defending. The same failed system they will still complain about. The little in the treasury is being wasted on an unaccountable military what the police could have done, what the courts are doing and what diplomacy should have done. By next year the bills will come in and this country will be poorer and even less secure. The viscious cycle just has to stop. We need proper, circumspect, visionary leadership in this country, the effectiveness of which can be measured in real progress and prosperity. Start restructuring now. The clock is ticking. This challenge will not go away on its own and certainly not by coercion.

samnificent:
I believe Nigeria will have good roads for such cars. One day.

The Yaradua boulevard. ...Airport Road Abuja is one to test such machines. Early Saturday morning out of town or after rush hour into town you have over 25 keys and I regularly do 160. Can't trust my tyres beyond that.

ben1daEbiri:
Did you do physics in school at all, what's the difference between MPH and KMPH

60 mph is about 100 kph...this is primary school stuff...so 180 mph is round about 300 kph. 210 mph where most souped cars cut off is round about 350 kph..

TheMainMan:
so no investigation?.... nothing?

What are you expecting. Law enforcement is to protect the state and its operators from the citizens. Hardwired into their psyche by their long departed colonial masters who hammered into their heads that it was either forced peace or death. The only investigation they will volunteer without compulsion is if the victim was an operator of their country.
