Valid point. The only lie to this position is that if the announcement was an increase even by 1 naira, the private marketers will implement the change within 30 minutes of the announcement.

Our government deals with us citizens. But the one wey we dey do ourselves naim bad pass.

Another court just granted Giadom power as chairman.

A superior court (Appeal Court) granted a stay of execution. We wait to see who the enforcers of the law will obey.

It is a no brainer really. How can you depose a king, banish him and keep him in custody in this modern time and age?

You can ask him to leave Kano for a while to give the new king some time to settle into the role and avoid any blowback form his supporters. I'm sure the man wont mind doing that. But holding him in a location against his will is so wrong.

Some of these gaffes from government are needless.

LindaIkejiNews:
Popular controversial blogger now evangelist, Kemi Olunloyo has been called out by her biological son simply identified as Eni on his 33th birthday.

According to the post, Kemi Olunloyo’s son made on his official instagram page, the controversial blogger has been disowned by her son as he called her ‘former biological mother’. He said his former mother i.e. Kemi Olunloyo is full of illicit affairs and doing all sort of bad things to people. He also called her a LovePeddler in the post.

Check out his post below:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B822jUAHRAx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

His rant is incoherent. One can barely make sense of the ramble from the son.

It looks like the young man is also suffering his mom's mental health challenges. Many years ago, Kemi Olunloyo also went on a rant on the the internet disowning her parents. If I recall, she went as far as acusing her father of using her for his juju.

Seems this is becoming a generational curse. May God have mercy.

To err is human, but to admit to an error is divine ........

Nothing wrong if the supreme court justices admit they mada a mistake and reverse themselves

I agree with you.

But elsewhere, judicial reviews are done to correct dangerous precedents with the benefit of hindsight or against current realities, and not set them.

Also judicial reviews are usually undertaken by neutral parties after sometime has passed so as not to create a disruption of order but set a new precedent.

The current supreme court has only nine active judges out of it's full complement of 14. For a case of these kind, you must have a panel of atleast seven at every given time.

What that means is that you are most likely going to have the same judges, bar one or two, sitting to review their own judgements that were delivered only a few weeks ago? Isn't that an aberration?

I read somewhere that the PDP has written to the CJN asking that five out of the seven judges that presided over the Imo case, should recuse themselves from this review. If that happens, it means only four judges will be available for the review. That is less than the seven required to form a quorum. So what's the point?

So while I agree that judicial reviews are normal and necessary sometimes, we should not allow the procedure to be so whimsical abused by our selfish politicians.

Protesters storm Justice Mary Odili’s private residence in Abuja …Calls for her resignation

Fresh Protesters from the North, West, South, East, storm Justice Mary Odili’s private residence in Abuja, for always taking bribe to divert the people’s mandate at the Supreme Court.

Just as she has heartlessly and wickedly taken bribe to divert the will of the people in Bayelsa State.

This is absolute nonsense! That panel had 6 other JSCs and not just Mary Odili. Are they going to go and picket their houses too?

Politicians need to be careful with all of these dangerous precedents they are setting.

The police need to put down this protest immediately.

These ones are agitating for a "reversal" of the supreme court's ruling.

The "review" as undertaken by the Supreme Court, might not necessarily lead to a "reversal" of the judgement.

This "review" in itself sets a very dangerous precedent of having a trial after the trial. If the court then decides to reverse its own judgement, it will be dangerous.

It means that the judiciary has basically hijacked the electoral process and all that politicians need to do after losing an election is to sponsor an agitation, apply for a judicial review and get into office through the backdoor.

The elections have held, the courts have reviewed the results and made their ruling. No matter how imperfect the ruling may be, I think we all should accept the results and move on.

We keep complaining that our judicial system is not good yet we keep supporting politicians to further ridicule the system.

When you cry " Wolf, wolf, wolf" always, when there's no wolf, nobody will believe you the day a real wolf appears.

When you tell lies always, nobody will believe you even if you are saying the truth.

I think the person shouting wolf here is relative.

Amaechi did not cry wolf. Aisha Muhammed cried wolf and Amaechi debunked the claim.

Everyone is taking this woman's word for it on the basis that her relatives were on the train and saw the Minister's convoy running away.

Since she doesn't have any documentary evidence of this situation, is there a chance she could be lying.

Or are we just to take her words because we do not like Amaechi and Buhari?

To be fair, Government's choices in this matter are limited:

Option 1 - Kill everyone arrested on suspicion of being a member of Boko Haram. The danger of this is that a lot of people who aren't really Boko Haram members as well as those who were forced and coerced into joining Boko Haram will suffer unjustly. Human Rights organisations, backed by most western governments and partners will come for you and impose even more sanctions on the country.

Option 2 - Incarcerate them in detention centres for the rest of their lives. Current prison facilities simply cannot accomodate them so government will have to build new prisons. Then government must further spend tax payers money on catering for these prisoners probably for the rest of their lives. The government can ill-afford that at this time.

Option 3 - Profile all of the detainees with a view to determining the extent of radicalisation. (There is a scientific way of doing this and there are people trained to profile criminals.) Neutralise those found to be steeped in the Boko Haram ideology. Those ones are a hopeless case. Commence a deradicalisation procedure for the others like the government claims they have done. Equip them with some basic survival skills and cut them loose with a small purse. Track their progress as they reintegrate back into society.

The only thing that I see wrong with this move by the Nigerian government is the undue publicity around the process. Though I doubt there is anything the government does that won't be criticised because we now view things through a political prism. Deradicalisation programmes like this one are one of the most effective preventive counter-terrorism measure adopted by countries all over the world.

Awol1:
They are working so hard to gather points they'd consider enough to curry the Eastern votes in 2023.

But hey, I think I need to remind us that the Second Niger bridge was commissioned as Public Private Partnership Project.

What that means, as I remember president GEJ saying then, is that once the govt pays it's counterpart fund for the project, which Jonathan did, the project will go on irrespective of who is in power.

That's the truth they don't want us to remember.

GEJ paid counterpart funding? Can you show proof of this?

The way some of you talk, it is almost like you wish the project was stalled or didn't even exist just so that you people can continue to hold on to you fallacious claims that Buhari hates Igbos.

Unfortunately for people like you, Buhari "hates" the Igbos so much that he is determined to complete this project as well as any other projects in the Southeast before his tenure winds up. If he doesn't the next President of Nigeria will continue from where he stopped.

uncastableodd:
Good morning everyone.

In the middle of the night today, I tried to look for duvet to cover up my son on bed. I decided to check my wife wardrobe.

I saw a pack of mycoten in the wardrobe. She already slept this time. So I had to chill till this morning to ask her questions.

So, this morning when I asked her, she said it was her mum that gave her bla bla bla..
I saw a piece of paper prescribing that cream for her in that same bag I found the cream.

I googled the uses of mycoten and I found out it was nothing serious because it is use for yeast infection and vagina odour. My wife dont have vagina odour and I understand yeast infection can be gotten from toilet or could be infection of body skin that spread or so.

I actually know she lied about her mummy giving her. But what baffles me is that I got a whatsapp message from her when she was coming from my son school..

She wrote that I nag a lot. That I should give her space. That u think she can't cope without me. She said she will look for work to take care of our son.She said we have been together for six years and I don't even trust her a bit. She said I think she can't leave without her. She didn't even address the issue of allegation of infidelity I threw against her(i deliberately did that #.I replied her I can't give her space in my own house and if she is fed up, she can pack her bags and go to her parent house. I told her if my son is infected or if I am infected , I am going to kill her and hand over myself to police. Immediately she blocked me on whatsapp and I did same. After an hour, she unblocked me.

Could she have been sleeping around her? Or are there any other uses of mycoten I don't know?

In my mind though, the cream I find is not really something to worry about but the message I got and her reaction is what I don't understand.

Seems to me like you truly nag a lot.

Seriously though, accusations of infidelity are not stuff for careless banter. Don't throw them at someone and expect them not to get defensive...even if they are truly not cheating on you.

Vaginal thrush is an infection a lot of ladies have now and then...some more frequently than others. She may have felt embarrassed by your decison to confront her about the cream hence her aggressive retort.

Take it easy on your woman. Trust her until she gives you a concrete reason not to.

Also try and stop the "pack and go" threat. No woman will be happy to hear her husband say that to her because it tells her that her place in your life is not secure. Most women don't handle insecurity too well. You need to make her realise that you are in it for the long haul and all you are doing is trying to make her a better person. It will take a lot of work but if you keep at it, you will succeed.

Good luck!

BOYLOVABLE1:
A lady send me a friend request on facebook since early last year which I accepted, from there we started chatting.

According to her that she's from India and she will love to marry, we talked a lot. I asked her so many questions about her and she said so many things that she a single mother.

After two months she went off and I also moved on. Just last week Friday, she appears again telling me that her account was hacked.

She has been sending me pictures also request for mine which I did send, she send both nude pics.

On Friday she also wants me to send mine which I declined. After much persuasion, I sent her my nude, she insisted that she wants to see my full unclad pic.
To cut the story shorter, immediately I sent her my full unclad pic, the next thing I saw was:

"You dey craze, I resemble your mate?". I should better comply or else....
When she is through with me I will know my myself.

I just weak, immediately I blocked her on Facebook. I think she wants to use my unclad pic to scam me. She has been calling me but I refuse to pick the call.

Please what will i do?

Don't mind mind my English construction.

First of all, forget all that "She" talk. You have been gisting and sharing nudes with a man like you.

The nudes "she" shared with you are probably some random pictures gotten off the internet.

You have done the right thing by blocking the fraudster. Now just wait. The person's next move will determine your own next move.

Whatever you do however, DO NOT SUCCUMB TO A BLACKMAILER.

If the person makes contact again perhaps asking for money or anything like that, ask for the person's account details. It could prove a very useful way of tracking the person if necessary. If you are asked for a personal face to face meeting, do not go alone. Swallow your pride and go to the police.

Do not be afraid. You made a mistake but you did not commit any crime.

Goodluck!

Pls Nairalanders, I need your advice. My boss traveled out of the country and she posted a picture on her WhatsApp status which I commented on 'what a nice pics'.

But to my surprise she is taking it up.
Pls what should I do?

Edited: I wrote Good pm ma, what a nice look.
She hasn't confronted me but she told her housegirl that I will have to explain what I mean to her when she comes back.

You did nothing wrong in paying her a compliment. But perhaps she isn't used to receiving compliments.

I know there are some women I compliment even in my office and instead of saying a simple "thank you" what you get is a frown and a rude "meaning what" response. For those ones I simply apologise and know never to compliment them again in the future.

Your madam may be dealing with certain insecurities about her looks. If she kicks up a fuss when she returns, stay calm and tell her you meant no disrespect. Then go ahead and apologise and keep it strictly business going forward.

By the way, do not say anything unless she confronts you directly so you don't end up putting the snitchy househelp in trouble.

This is expected owing to the outcry of last week's blunder.

Fourth position later coming first is still a mystery to me.

So you really think it takes a few days to write a judgement that takes an average of 10 hours to read?

Not so my brother. Courts aren't influenced by "outcries". Courts base judgement on arguments and evidences presented before them.

Sometimes courts deliver judgements that may be seen as unpopular. But the law is the law.

Courts operate by the legal doctrine Fīat jūstitia ruat cælum.

I wonder why we are always so quick to accept and celebrate every denigrating assessment of our country by the west. It is shamefull really.

This is a a manifestly unfair assessment of the true situation of things.

Agreeing to this assessment is akin to spitting on the sacrifice of the numerous soldiers that have died providing security across the country.

Government has done a lot and take it or leave it, the situation has improved. However, there's so much more that needs to be done.

Anything could happen like what exactly? The court is not called "Supreme" for nothing you know?

God forbid, even if Uzodinma drops dead today, he will be succeeded by his deputy. Ihedioha cannot smell office again till the next elections.

My advice to him is to go and rest and map out strategy for the next election rather then expending his lean resources sponsoring pointless protests.
