Poloyanabo2:
Quote where life imprisonment was prescribed.

It's 15 to 25yrs,
Counter it with your own section where you saw life imprisonment

Lol.

The Constitution does not prescribe sentences and it is largely silent on the creation of offences.

Crimes and their offenses are found in:

The Criminal Code - the fundamental body of Criminal Laws in Nigeria applicable to the FCT and Southern States
The Penal Code - The fundamental body of Criminal Laws applicable to the northern States.
Specific Laws and Acts that govern specific issues, sometimes applicable only in specific States

This is where your confusion comes from. The Penal Code prescribes 14 years for rape, while the criminal code prescribes life imprisonment for rape while armed.

Poloyanabo2:
The judge is very stupid and mad,
Yes rape deserves a severe punishment but the constitution prescribed between 15 to 25yrs imprisonment not life imprisonment,

Which kind madness be this,
The other day another mad dog judge sentenced a man to death for rape,
Aee they high on cocaine or what

Which Constitution??

Oya quote the section

Rugaria:
Life imprisonment for rape!?
Is that what the constitution says? Or is our lordship making up the laws as he goes?
As heinous as rape is, and I want a severe punishment for offenders, judgement should be based on constitutional dictates applicable to such crime.
I think the judge here is simply using his courtroom to vent his frustrations on a stupid offender and that to me is unconditional too..

That is exactly what the criminal code prescribes.

kilisi:
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for NIN linkage with SIM and I've done mine immediately the directive was given. I believe it's a step in the right direction. Your other reasons are also very valid. I'm only saying they negotiate for ransom with their victim's number. And if the police really want to work, they can track their approximate location while receiving their call whether they use their own phone no or the victim's no.

Okay, point taken.

kilisi:
Is it that most of you don't know that kidnappers call with the phone no of their victims or what?

So is that the only implication you could think of?

Bandits don't use phones to call each other? What of their informants in town, the people who buy food for them, etc, what are they using?

Try to process things before you talk.

donbrowser:
I will remind you by December that nothing has been achieved

Remind me only when all Nigerians have done the needful. Its not about time. Its about compliance.

donbrowser:
I have linked my NIN. I'm only saying there's no motivation for people who haven't linked and it's more like FG is only using security to toy people into linking because nothing has been achieved since the linking started.

Obviously if people like you refuse to link how can anything be done about it security wise?

Do you think if people like you are not registering and linking, its bandits that will register?

And if they dont register and link, how then can NIN be useful?

MathewOG:
Na so Boko Haram turn monsters, first u pamper them and when u try to change them, the monster in them will fight back, soludo is at the first stage "pampering"..

That is the error of hasty generalization.

There were also Niger Delta boys, in fact, who were the first to recieve the co called pampering.

Where are they today?

But, she touched his dick and caressed him without his consent. Isn’t that sexual molestation as well

Yhungsarm:
This incident happened last week Thursday. Am a 300L student of Unijos and the girl happens to be my coursemate.

Normally, me and these girl no dey the same level, she can't even talk to me in school but ASUU break happened and i didn't want to go back to Lagos so i stayed back in Jos.

One day i was chatting with her friend who happens to know her and he told me she is still in Jos, so i chatted her up since i was bored and i didn't lie to her, i told her i was bored and i needed someone to talk to for the main time. she accepted quickly and even told me why i didn't chat her up sooner than this. she promised to come to my place and on Thursday she finally came through.

This is the most astonishing part, she knew i had sex with her best friend so she asked me about it and i did not lie about it cus i know she knew and we talked about some nasty stuff related to sex. i was seated on a mini-cushion chair and she sat on my laps literally dropping her boobs in the middle of my face.

As a guy i thought that was the signal, so i carried her straight to the bed and i wanted to gain access and she denied it so i just stood up and left. After a short while she came back again now saying if she handles me and all those stuff, i tried again and she denied i was angry and i wanted to tell her to start gping but i calmed down. she started seducing me badly and i was confused so this time i dropped and dragged her jean with her, we started dragging but she was just saying am trying to rape her and it is unfair, if it is what i do to girls all d time.

i was fingering her at the time but i did not penetrate and i felt it was tense and if i penetrated then what she is saying is true so i stopped and controlled my urge.

She zipped up and started crying, I was like but i didn't do anything and she was like i did everything i want to do with her and it is fault bcus she came to my house.

After a shortwhile, she stopped crying and asked me if it was sex i want or friends with benefit...i was very confused at that point like wetin bring all does one enter so i didn't reply then she said she knows am a rapist and i just want to sex and all dat shit.

i kept my cool after some time she started saying am not normal at all and she jst can't believe what happened, she also said she will tell me something when we she is out of my house.

So i paid her Tp and she went home, i did not chat her up at all. fastforward to Saturday i saw her message saying her forcefully had my ways wit her and jst ignored her so she will deal with me and i will pay for it.

i won't lie to you am very scared, i don't even know what she wants, i started asking her what she wants from me exactly but she is not replying at all. I seriously don't know what to do am very confuse, I don't even understand why i fell for this plot of hers.
What do you think i shud do

Note: I did not have sex with her at all and i never wanted it, she was jst all over me and doing all those stuff. Sex isn't my problem on a normal day bcus am a handsome guy and i get it most time.

Well in Nigerian law the worst you can be accused of is indecent assault under S. 360 but rape requires carnal knowledge, which requires penetration.

Furthermore, even the element of lack of consent can be negated in court. The standard is such that you only need to prove that you had a belief that she was consenting - even where such belief can be shown to be unreasonable, your argument will likely be accepted by the Courts. That's if you don't get an angry feminist as a judge.

Never get yourself into that position again. The first time she did it you should have asked her to leave.

Abuja is an excellent example of what happens when our resources are leveraged by a skilled and determined administrator.

Too bad el Rufai turned out to be a bigot eventually.

Idiko1:
Goat, I do not mean the "Greatest of all time" but your handle name. Please try to learn and be educated. The dude did not make a noise.

Of course he made noise.

The thread is meant to updare readers on maintenance and repairs, instead they are debating the.work of engineers.

The thread has been derailed and its wrong. It's a violation of rule 1 of the forum for that matter.

KlausMichaelson:
Good evening,

Straight to the point. I graduated last year and I am yet to get my statement of result from my school till this day(the fault is from my school). I recently got a job which I am to resume this new month. So I perused through the letter and found out that I am to show a proof of my degree. Already, my Employer knows that I am a recent graduate but I didn't explain the part of Statement of result.

Please how do I go about this?

Your school should be able to give you an attestation pending your statement of result

IbileIfe:
Senior Man whom the Black Stars of Ghana reduced to Junior Man.

I don't like NIgerian players who play their best for their foreign clubs, but fail to play their best for the national team

The club side is far different fromthe national side.

First, you need to understand that most of our players who play for top teams are just average players in their teams, and they are made better by the quality around them.

Also, the club sides train daily so the chemistry is much better. Add that to the fact that we have had coaching issues.

But for Iheanacho in particular, his problem is that he is used as a 10 in Nigeria but he plays 9 in Leicester. He is obviously a far better 9 than 10.

calculator123:
Yet he did nothing against Ghana over two legs

He played one leg. Did you really watch the two games or you just saw an opportunity to make a "clever" comment?

Hdhdhd:
And they ended up losing 1:4 to bunch of farmers

Brentford took that banner a little too seriously.

They really took the Mickel!

See other quotes from the same interview, where Barrlow makes it clear that they had already exited Nigeria long before Buhrari, becasue they were not paid.

https://www.arise.tv/insurgency-jonathan-not-buhari-terminated-private-military-contract-says-sa-contractor/

Extract:

“We were contracted by the National Security Adviser, Colonel Dasuki, and his office in late October 2014 and it was that administration and that office that terminated the contract. It was not the current administration,” Conella spokesman told ARISE News.

He added further that: “By the time the current administration took power, we were long gone, unfortunately, and the main reason for the termination was nonpayment. We had milestones written to the contract for payment, those milestones were unfortunately not met by the Nigerian government.

“Perhaps priorities changed, perhaps, with a view to the election around the corner, people thought differently about where to spend their money.

“We can only speculate about that, but that was the reason, it was non-payment, it was not non-performance by our side. As a matter of fact, we achieved almost the impossible within a month of our operations for the first time in three years, two major cities that were in the hands of Boko haram Bama and Gwazo were back in the hands of security forces and at the end of our contract the sambisa was being assaulted by our unit.”

Unfortunately Seun is yet to implement an ignore button. Rest assured I will not entertain your desperate attempts for attention from your intellectual superiors in future. Good riddance to a toddler struggling with pull up diapers

shut up and get away.

Karlovych:
2pac was portraying what he was not, he was largely raised in Baltimore (where he got entangled with Jada first) without much gang stuff going on there and only adopted that lifestyle when he became successful and moved to LA.

So eventually, he became a gangster, whether or not he was born and raised as one?

That still means he was a gangster, not merely portraying it.

Do you know Tupac shot two police officers for harassing a black man? The guy wasn't pretending - he was every bit the real gangster, particularly in the years leading up to his death.

GloriousGbola:
2pac was in digital underground

All his gangsta forming started after he joined death row

Someone suge Knight was chancing like everyone else

All of them - dre, snoop 2pac,studio gangstas

The only attempt at being a gangsta was a punk move where he held down a woman for his friend to rape

That is why will smith is worth more than all of them. At a time when the rap industry was all about fake machismo, and not 'selling out' will smith was on a tv show and doing happy rap

You need to grow up if you see movies like poetic justice or juice as meaningful.

You also need to grow up as you still idolize the empty posturing.

I remember ice cubes true to the game. Man does literally everything he was dissing sellouts

You have this habit of going off on unreasonable and silly rants.

It is a fact that Tupac was a gangster. It is also a fact that Suge Knight was a much more dangerous gangster.

Nowhere have i said being a gangsta is a good thing. So how and where have i idolized him?

You musn't always be silly!

Those movies were deeply meaningful because they portrayed the reality of the black man as opposed to Smiths biggest movies which were sci fi or mindless violence i.e bad boys.

It's you who needs to grow up and learn how to have mature conversations.

GloriousGbola:
With all will and jadas history and all that has come out since then , this is the first time I find the word simp applicable

Jada is for all intents and purposes still feening for 2pac, a fellow who will is 20 times the worth of as a man. 2pac that had to do fake gangsta to blow and who was an accessory to rape. That is what will is feeling intimidated by

Then she cheated on him. With their sons friend.
She could not find some stranger, some guy her age, no she went for a young friend of the family. That is grooming predatory s**t

If will smith had pulled that s**t, going after willows 21 year old friends he would have been cancelled so fast

Jada pinkett is not the woman to get into this s**t over. She is bad market.

I am just.sad for the guy. In hindsight he was fine with his first wife but decided he wanted geto /pako babe.

This is the bobby brown and Whitney story with roles reversed.

Calm down sir. Tupac was never a fake gangsta, and really, if we're honest, in his short years on earth he was far more impactful than Will at everything Will does.

Both men were rappers. Tupac was far more impactful.

Both men were actors. Other than the pursuit of happyness, Tupac's movies were far more meaningful.

Reflect7:
One more thing. Hypocritical Americans who see nothing wrong with their country being the world's largest weapons manufacturer and supplier to the nations, whose weapons and invasions have slaughtered and maimed hundreds of millions of innocent people worldwide, from Iraq to Vietnam, yet play outraged saints over a guy who merely slapped another guy for publicly mocking his sick wife, really can go to blazes.

Without commenting on the other issues, i am still trying to understand how the G.I Joe reference was an insult. I mean, it was a reference to her condition, but was it insulting in any way? Is acting in G.I Joe a bad thing now for a woman who has acted action movies before?

I mean where is the exact insult? At best, it might be insensitive but insulting??

Unfortunately, NO governor has the power to bring in mercenary, only the FG can.

Thanks to the mercenaries brought in by GEJ, though he acted almost too late,
elections held in Borno and north-east and thousands of terrorists were destroyed
or dislodged.

But Buhari came in and terminate the mercenaries contract because he believe
Nigeria army is too big to need mercenaries.

Even the most powerful militaries in the world, US, Russia and China uses mercenaries
for fighting insurgence but Buhari disagrees.

The mercenaries were sent back by GEJ not Buhari

Nicho118:
For your team not to score an open goal against the worse Ghana team in recent years for 180minutes, then the coach is not good enough

Bro haven't you seen Watford demolish Liverpool? That's football...besides, who says this Nigeria team is so great? Apart from Osimhen and Ndidi, there is no world-class player in the core of the team. The rest are either playing second division or in a B league, or chopping bench.

The new boys like Lookman and Dennis may be decent players but they are new. They won't gel for some time. So arguably Nigeria is also a weak team.

Tareq1105:
So what happened if the person that is in charge or receives the alerts is their (Terrorists) Muslim brother?

Just imagine how this country would be without these idiots.

Please I hope you aren't referring to Muslims in general. That's unfair.

But yes, Nigeria is in a mess so there is no guarantee that any security measures would work well

aribisala0:
Must exist somewhere ? because citizens blow up trains in their countries everywhere in the world.
Your assumption has no basis.
Even if a system exists somewhere and works does that mean it will work in Nigeria?
Yes police forces exist somewhere that do not march citizens off to ATM machines at gunpoint to extort them. They do trust me
If the system works and is proven fine.
There is nothing wrong with the questions that were asked at the FEC .
Amaechi had several options
To come back better prepared and represent it, He could have approached the president or he could have resigned
Nigeria does not have an infinite amount of 3 billions if we did ASUU would not be on strike.
There is nothing special about the theory of the system . It is a glorified CCTV in terms of purpose. It is not boots on the ground.
We would still need a response team that are trained.

Do not forget that such systems are likely to be triggered by wild animals and natural phenomena and across hundreds of miles cannot be touted as a fix for what happened .That is very dishonest

i'm not really sure what you're driving at now. I've not said the FEC was wrong to query Amaechi. i have said the exact opposite, having pointed out that Amaechi appears to be attempting to profit from this. That does not invalidate the idea of having the system, nor does it mean that boots on the ground can't be deployed...really what's your point?

aribisala0:
In theory
So the FEC asked for more information
Does it actually work. Is it proven
How will it work e.g will it use electricity and what happens if there is a power outage
Who will operate it and what training will they need? Have the security services been carried along? Is awarding contract the first thing.
You do not buy planes if you have no pilots.
So it sounds very good in theory to the gullible.
Linking NIN to SIM sounds very good in theory has it achieved the results we were told of ? Even Pantami's family are being kidnapped.
I do not believe that equipment would have made any difference without a response team on ground.
What we need to do is to improve intelligence gathering but also to create opportunities for people who see themselves as not part of the Nigerian project and are motivated to do this? Maybe that 3 billion needs to go into education which is NOT A PRIORITY of this government

Such a system must exist somewhere. The basic idea of it is not rocket science. The problem is that Amaechi appears to be attempting to use the project to cash out by awarding it to jis friends wjo do not have any genuine expertise in this area.

You are talking as if this is the only 3 billion naira Nigeria has. The money is to come from the budget already allocated to the ministry of works, while the ministry of education has its own budget lines.


You can invest in education and all that while sevuring the railway infrsstructure at the same time.

GloriousGbola:
So the sensor detects an obstruction. You stop the train and are sitting ducks until the obstruction is removed.

All these solutions are capital intensive. How many security teams will be required to watch the rail line effectively?

Bombs are not placed on the track mere seconds befre the train approaches. Mere having that sensor means that the controllers will have hours of notice.

Such a system can effectively be manned by one person. All that is required is for that person, who can be an existing staff, to recieve the alert and forward it the relevant security agencies in charge of the area.

We live in a dangerous country so i dont understand why you are objecting to capital investment in the area of security.

Truthisunique2:
Which useless equipment are they talking

Would equipment engage terrorists in gun duel?

Sometimes slow down and understand the topic.

The equipment is a sensor that alerts controllers when the track is tampered with.

That means, officials would have known or had reason to suspect that a bomb had been placed on the track.

The train would then be grounded until sevuroty forces investigate.

Its very reasonable.
