The reality show star who identified the woman as Kate Ogbe alleged that she is responsible for the death of his mother and also largely responsible for the incapacitation of his father.

Career / Re: My Brother's Employment Letter Was Withdrawn by Reptyle(m): 11:59am On Nov 11, 2020
creolehunt:
About 2 years ago, my brother started working for this company as an intern. The agreement with his manager was that he will be confirmed within 6 months. After about 18months without confirmation, he resigned from the job but still kept contact with people from his former job.

Fast forward to some weeks ago, he heard that his former company needed personnel at a new branch in a new state and it's strictly an internal recruitment. So he met his former manager and expressed interest, the manager pushed his name (eligibility is dependent solely on recommendation by your branch manager) and he alongside others went through series of interviews at the end of which he was employed. Suffice to say that the HR manager was part of these interviews.

He was sent an offer letter plus other documents and he resumed last week monday. Last week Tuesday, he was called by the HRM who asked him series of questions after which the HRM said he didn't know all this while that my brother isn't an active staff and that he (the HRM) was hoodwinked by the branch manager. His argument was tgat there were other eligible candidates who could have been recommended, but the manager brought someone from outside.

Now, the offer letter to my brother has been withdrawn. Same guy that resigned his job the moment he received this offer, he has even told everyone that mattered tgat he was relocating.
Please is there anything we can do to salvage this, it's so heartbreaking. I don't know where they expect him to start from when he gets home.

Sadly, there is nothing that can be done to remedy this situation.

If the recruitment exercise was targeted internally at employees that are already within the system, the manager had no business recommending your brother for the job seeing he is now an external candidate. From your own post, you stated that your brother had resigned sometime back.

Infact, if it is the company I currently work for, that manager will face very stiff disciplinary actions and could even be sacked because what he did will be considered a breach of his integrity. The HR person that facilitaed the process will also be sanctioned severely for not ensuring due diligence of the process before sending out the letter of employment.

Your brother will need to try elsewhere.

Travel / Re: My Lovely Trip to Jubilee Chalets In Epe Owned By The Lagos State Government by Reptyle(m): 2:31pm On Nov 10, 2020
Spent 3 nights here in February and it has been one of the highlights of my year because it was shortly after that that Covid came and everywhere got locked down!

I went with my team from the office for our yearly strategic retreat and I must say it was a great experience.

The entire facility was clean and the air was pure. Members of staff were very courteous and polite and the food was good.

They have an averagely good DJ and the fish pepper soup and palmwine was cool.

I don't know much about the cost because it was all paid for by my company grin grin grin

The only down side for me was the trip to and fro because of the distance and the fact that the access road to Epe was in very very poor state at the time. Roads within the town itself were very good though.
Politics / Re: INEC Begins Signature Collection For Mojisola Alli Macaulay Recall by Reptyle(m): 10:36am On Nov 04, 2020
post=95658051:
Field officers have commenced a door-to-door campaign to gather enough signatures to officially commence the recall of Mojisola Alli-Macaulay from the Lagos House of Assembly.

Over 50% of registered voters in Amuwo Odofin Constituency I must sign the recall register.

https://mobile.twitter.com/PulseNigeria247/status/1323655407655657472


Recall that the Lawmakers recently refered to Nigerian youths as 'high on hard drugs.'

It has not gotten to INEC yet. The constituents still have to send in a recall request to INEC which is why they are currently collating signatures.

Frankly speaking, to recall a state or federal representative is not child's play. I don't really see anything coming out of this because the process is really REALLY long and tedious. By the time the process runs its course, she probably will be done with her tenure.

What this will do however is that it will act as a caution to this representative to watch her steps going forward. It could also act as a way of ensuring she doesn't get re-elected in the next election.

Food / Re: The N500 Onions I Bought Today In Port Harcourt. by Reptyle(m): 11:01am On Oct 28, 2020
The price of a lot of things will skyrocket over the next few weeks and maybe months because of the carnage we witnessed through out last week.

A lot of food bearing trucks from different parts of the country were caught up in the melee and either destroyed or went bad. Now most of the drivers and truck owners are afraid of making the trip down south for fear of been mobbed, robbed and even killed. Even the price of meat will soon blow out of proportion for the same reason. It will take a while for things to return to normal.

I hope this will be a wake up call to each state governor to develop the agricultural sector within their states to check the trend of food scarcity whenever there is a crisis like this one.

3Ceagle:
The Lagos political class encouraged the system of creating area boys over the state through
1. Omonile
2. Agbero
3. Elevation and recognition of NURTW as leaders
When children dropped out of school and some who learnt a trade abandons it to join collection of "Owoda" from motorist and the public, what system do we think we creating? These are same boys harrassing and extorting hard working lagosians.
I had the opportunity of asking a politician about this system of extortion, he said, they allowed it because these boys are the omoniles and need settlement to survive like everyone else.
These are same boys they use to manipulate elections.
Growing up in Lagos in 80s, motor touts are known to be found only in motor parks but from 1999 the lagos state government allowed this boys to operate on all bus stops thereby increasing the number of recruits. These are same boy creating havoc all over the place.
This is not how a mega city operates. Until present day leadership in Lagos embraces the ideology and leadership of Pa Lateef Jakande and others, the numbers of unskilled and jobless Area boys will continue to increase.

Agberos can break in and loot. An agbero can even be behind the attack on policemen and police stations.

But I strongly doubt an agbero will break into the Oba's palace and wreck it with the sort of hate and viciousness that we all saw.

Please tell me what an agbero's business with the court at Igbosere is, and why a historic monument like that was razed to the ground.

These were well coordinated attacks on these places. The truth will come out some day.

Benin people cheered as over 1000 prisoners broke out of the prisons and blended with the crowds outside to make their getaway.

Benin people cheered as boys gathered at various locations in breach of the curfew to defy the government.

Benin people cheered as police stations were been destroyed by angry youths.

Now Benin people will have to cope with their "august visitors" whenever they come calling. Since policemen have now become endangered species, they have all gone into hiding to avoid angry mobs. The one in my area in Lagos has been deserted since on sunday to avoid the "peaceful protesters". They simply released all the guys they had in their holding cells and faded into the wind.

Benin people and neighboring states and villages should begin to organise local militias to protect their neighborhoods because they are about to witness an unprecedented spike in violent crime.

Bagehot:


With all due respect, any protester carrying a gun to a protest against police brutality is simply reinforcing the views of those in power trying to keep SARS alive.

That's the very point I was trying to make. The conveners of these protests must understand that when you convene a mass action, you attract people of different personalities, temperaments and agenda and things can spiral out of control really fast. That was why Tuface pulled out of the planned protest last year. It wasn't about his own personal safety. The police aren't going to shoot at him. But how about the other faceless Nigerians that will hit the street along with him? Can he guarantee their safety?

I hope the conveners are powerful enough to influence their fellow protesters to follow through and maintain the peaceful outlook of the mass actions. If they don't, things are going to go out of control and a lot of innocent people are going to get seriously hurt or even killed.

As stupid as it was for her to trash talk a country she had never even visited, I am actually impressed by her sense of patriotism in rising to the defense of her President and country. That's all I was trying to say.

By the way, you come across like an averagely intelligent person. May I advise that you refrain from letting your emotions cloud your thoughts so much that you begin to insult faceless people online. Even when you disagree with an expressed opinion, learn to disagree in a civil manner and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

An average American might not like Trump or his policies. But you dare not talk smack about their country. They know that Presidents will come and go but the land will remain for generations to come so they will not stand foe anyone denigrating their land.

Hate to rain on anyone's parade. But...this most likely isn't an OG Patek Nautilus.

First off, that box its in definitely isn't a Patek Nautilus box.

Secondly, Patek's are rarely ever easily gotten off the shelf. The waiting list on the average, runs forward a number of years. To get one from an authorised dealer in a quick deal, you are gonna need to fork out atleast twice its regular cost. Alternatively, you could pick one off the black market and risk buying a fake, or an OG one that cost an arm and a leg. You could also possibly get a second hand one either from an authorised dealer or on the black market...that one will still cost you a pile of cheddar.

The only logical way that this Ozo's gift is the real deal is if its a gift from a wealthy patron in which case it would be a 2nd hand one.

Having said that though, this replica may still be a good one that may cost some good money.

Congratulations to Ozo.

With the way FFK is going about viciously attacking Precious' reputation using people like this witch call Kemi Olunloyo, I am starting to believe the claims by Precious' sister that she went through great physical and mental abuse while married to FFK.

FFK's poor mental health is common knowledge to everyone. His erratic behaviour has been a subject of public discourse for decades, the most recent been his deranged outburst during a press conference recently.

His sojourn in a drug rehab centre in Ghana is also public knowledge. We are also aware he has been married a number of times and all of those marriages packed up within 4 years on each occassion. Were those women also suffering from mental issues?

This narrative of Precious' mental health being pushed by notorious bloggers like this sick woman called Kemi Olunloyo is obviously a hack job sponsored by FFK.

With FFKs history and reputation with women, it is unfortunate that another woman, attrated by the allure of being married to a wealthy and powerful man, will soon end up married to him and we will be hearing these same sob stories a few years from now.

https://dailytrust.com/what-is-left-of-apc-is-just-respect-for-buhari-okorocha

This is one of the traitors that rallied against their party just to settle personal scores. Nigerian politicians are mostly charlatans.

In other places, politicians rally around an ideology. So you find for instance in the US, that a politician that is a republican today actually springs from a long line of republicans. His children after him and his own descendants most likely will also be republican. That politician could at some point find himself out of favour within the party. What you would never find is that republican politician running down his party and offering support to the democrats...under any condition.

In Nigeria, most politicians rally around money and power. Shame, integrity, honour and loyalty are virtues that are in extremely short supply within the Nigerian political circle. That's why you find politicians cross carpeting at the drop of a hat.

Parties are established on principles and a central ideology. Every member of the party submits to the supremacy of the party. No individual or bloc should be larger than the party. But not so in Nigeria. It's either an individual wants to impose their will on the party or a bloc leverage their influence or their financial war chest to polarise the party and tear it apart from the inside out.

It happened with the PDP. It is happening with the APC as we speak. It might interest you to know that it is the same power bloc that moves from one party to the other, disrupting the internal peace and harmony to suit their insidious personal agenda.

We have now had two president's in succession that have shown nothing more than a passive interest in their party's affairs and so these 5th columnists have had their way. President Jonathan allowed the Governor's forum guys led by Saraki, ruin things for him within the PDP and that cost him a second term. President Buhari is allowing the same renegade governor's forum led by Fayemi, Obaseki, Amaechi and the likes to run rings around him. People like Oshiomole and Tinubu that stand for party supremacy and discipline have been demonised and stripped of influence because they lack the support of the President who has chosen to be passive.

It has cost the APC Edo State and it might cost them Ondo as well. It most likely will cost them the 2023 central elections because right now, the rallying call is BUHARI! Once he is done with his term in 2023, he will retire to his farm and the APC will probably just fall apart. The party has systematically stripped all of its influential people of their powers. There may be no one to hold the party together by 2023.

The man who works at the airport that Nigerian singer, Davido tipped $100 in a video that went viral some few days ago have cried out on social media begging for Davido’s intervention after he was sacked, Reports.

From The Information Gathered By , The airport official who identity is yet to be known was allegedly sacked from work for defying the ethics of the profession which is taking money from customers.

According to him in a video chanced on by .com, he was relieved of his post by management for begging a passenger for money and has cried out to Davido to tell his employers he did not beg them.

The distressed man who claims has children and a wife said he did not beg him but only hailed Davido whereby on his own will gave him the money, Reports.

Sadly, whether he begged for the tip or not, ethically, he should not have received a gift given to you while on duty. He should have simply said NO!

In my workplace, people get fired for receiving common Christmas hampers freely given by customers. Gifts like this could lead to unnecessary conflicts of interest.

But if they really want to enforce this policy, half of all Nigeria airport workers and infact, more than half of the entire civil service will lose their jobs because a lot of them are guilty of this misbehaviour.

I got a lot of encouragement as well as criticism on the post on making the place look more hygienic.
It wasn't easy putting places together up to that stage where I had to erect a room, buy containers and pay bills. I was keeping tab on all the comments.

Four days after the post, the Ekiti state Governor Dr. John Kayode Fayemi invited me over to his office in Ado, I got the invite via one of his aides. I thought it was a dream, boom it happened the second day, I had to leave the market early in order to catch up with the time I was given.
It did happen like a dream after the governor aide took us to meet His Excellency Dr. John Kayode Fayemi.
After the visit, I received supports in cash and kinds to support my business from friends, family members and strangers.

To every young person reading this, don't be ever ashamed of what put food on your table, as long as it is legitimate. Not many would have thought, if any, that I would ever get to meet people of such calibres as the Governor through a pap producing business.

Without my mum, all these couldn't have happened. She set my foot on the path to entrepreneurship and self dependency .

Governor Wike Names Judges' Estate after Barr Emmanuel Aguma (SAN) as CJN of Nigeria Commisions the Rivers State Judges Quaters

The Rivers State Judges Quaters has been commissioned by the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, CFR, JSC, represented by Justice Mary Odili JSC. The quaters which comprises of (20) 4 bedroom duplexes was built on an owner occupier basis was also named in memory of former Attorney General of Rivers State, Barr Chinwe Aguma (SAN).

Speaking at the commisioning of the quarters Governor Wike said the estate was built in fulfilment of his 2015 promise to provide fitting accommodation for Judges.

He said "recall that in my inaugural address in 2015, we promised to provide life-long accommodation for Judges as a deliberate government policy to enhance their working conditions and wellbeing."

"The policy is implemented in either of two ways. Judges have a choice to receive a purpose-built house from the State Government or opt for cash payment to build or buy their houses by themselves."

Governor Wike also explained that the decision to "immortalize and honour the memory of our late former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, by naming this estate: Emmanuel Chinwe Aguma Judges’ Quarters in fulfilment of my promise during his funeral service at the St. Paul’s Cathedral, Diobu, Port Harcourt on the 16th of September 2018."

Highpoint of the event was the presentation of Certificates of Occupancy to the recipients of the houses at the Rivers State Judges Quaters by the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, CFR, JSC, represented by Justice Mary Odili JSC.

When the executive extends favours like these to another arm of government, how will the judges not agree to issue jankara injunctions at midnight?

The judiciary wants autonomy but accepts every crumb that the executive throws its way. How then will autonomy come?

Why does someone that has risen through the ranks to the position of a judge need the government to build the a house? What happened to the house they lived in or the car they were driving before?

If judges must have official houses and cars, why can the judiciary itself not make provisions for these in their budget?

Why is this country so lawless?

I commend the police for not going to sleep on this heartless crime. But I have serious concerns about their ability to secure the conviction of any of these suspects if they go to court without first ensuring an airtight prosecution.

From the testimonies of these paraded individuals, it appears to me like the police have not done a good job tidying up their investigations. All they have is a bucket list of suspects and all but one of them, deny complicity in the crime.

All the police have as a fact right now is the confession of Collins and it would appear the police is building their entire case on his confession. Unfortunately without hard evidence implicating any of the other suspects, Collins' confession is not enough to convict them because it is essentially his word against theirs. this is a capital offence and I do not think any judge will want to convict someone of the basis of a confession that is not backed by any hard evidence.

If the testimonies of the other suspects are anything to go by, the Police in Abuja subjected them to all sorts of scientific probes including fingerprinting, blood sampling, DNA and even semen sampling and all those returned negative results. This means that the only evidence the police has is Collins' confession.

Now speaking of Collins' confession, it would seem the police has also established that he may have implicated his landlady in the plot to kill the deceased victim on the basis of malice. If you listen carefully to the landlady's testimony, it seems that the police have been unable to establish her complicity in the plot having ransacked her house, shop etc. and subjected her bank accounts to a forensic probe. While these factors do not prove her innocence, they also do not establish her complicity in the plot. This means that once again, all the police have got on her is Collins' confession.

The other lady is only a part of the team because her son that was implicated by Collin's is at large. Perhaps that is the person that holds the key to the whole investigation. If he is caught, he might be able to help the police connect all of the dots more strongly to prevent any of these suspects from walking free if they are really guilty.

For now, the police's case is a house of cards that can be brought down by an averagely good lawyer that knows how to ask the right questions.

I strongly suggest that for poor Uwaila to get the justice she rightly deserves, the police need to dig in and conduct further investigations before commencing the process of prosecution.

Politics / Re: Akpata, Sans Kick As Northern Lawyers Form Parallel NBA by Reptyle(m): 7:29pm On Aug 29, 2020
JidennaJason:
Another clear example to tell you that the northerners are always in a "REVERSE MODE"

They see Akpata as a threat to their "Shari'a" type of law.

It would be difficult for us to move forward as a nation when we have this backward thinking people at the helms of affair.

Akpata wasn't NBA President when the decision was taken to invite El-Rufai as a speaker. He also wasn't President when that decision was reversed. Akpata is trying to calm a storm left for him by his predecessor.

Don't make comments like "northerners are always in REVERSE MODE" or refer to northerners as "backward thinking people" else you are no better than or different from the people you speak against. They have their religion and culture as much as you have yours.

A lot of northern lawyers supported the move to disinvite El-Rufai. Even those that did not support the move, understood and accepted the decision. Only a tiny fragment of northern lawyers are part of the move to set up a new bar association.

It isn't right to make sweeping statements about an entire ethnic group.
