Actually, no.

Really? Tell those in Guam that

Ah, the old, someone else is doing it, therefore it must be right argument. Really?

Mynd44:
And in this case, how does twitter ban or suspension violate your human right? Under the laws on Nigeria, twitter does not exist since it neither pays taxes or is registered under Nigerian law.

Plus the right of media houses to access a non existing platform does not exist

I don't have any issues with the Twitter ban. My comments are general comments on the legal issues

Mynd44:
You are the one without understanding. If your life is a threat to National Security, National Security takes precedence

Sir, you are actually the one without understanding. Neither of the topic nor of the particular post you have quoted which is not connected with the subject of national security at all.

If your life is a threat to national security, there is a legally prescribed route by which the State can take your life.

It is not for me, being the president, to get up one day, declare you a threat and then take your life just like that.

Capiche?

Mynd44:
What are your fundamental human rights as against National Security?

You are the one who doesn't understand this

Sure, from a lay person's perspective, National Security may sound like a logical reason for the violation of individual rights. Except, in reality, it is impossible, in modern society, for fundamental human rights and national security concerns to clash.

That is because human rights and national security are but two sides of the same coin, smoldered together by the concept of the rule of law. What is national security but the aggregation of fundamental human rights concerns? But who defines a national security threat? Who measures its gravity? This is where the rule of law enters into the arena as an arbiter.

In practical terms, where there is a national security concern, there must also be a legal route of expressing and managing that concern. It is not for the executive to arrogate to itself this power. That is why the legislative exists -- to make laws that would allow the executive to lawfully check whatever it is that threatens national security.

For example, to deprive a man of his liberty on the grounds of national security, there must be a law that enables the executive to do so. Any action taken outside of this, regardless of its legitimacy, itself becomes a threat to national security, by undermining democratic structures and allowing the executive to usurp the other branches of government.

louqas:
You dey mind them.....only run after political cases so politicians could fund their cases.
They have never brought any socio economic case to court. No single fundamental right is justiceable in Nigeria but SERAP will never take such a case up in court because it will favour the common man. Let SERAP make it possible to sue the FG for not providing jobs for the people them we will know they are doinv something.....for now they just behave like an opposition political party

You're talking utter nonsense.

What do you know about the justiciability of fundamental human rights? What do you understand by fundamental human rights? Are you saying the right to life is not justiciable?

And where have you ever heard of socio economic rights being justiciable??

Mr. Man don't dabble into things of which you are completely ignorant.

Egwuatu held that when national security is threatened, the issues of fundamental human rights take a second stage

Such statements should make all shudder. Does this lawyer even understand what fundamental human rights are - as opposed to the broader concept of human rights?

We have a long way to go.

Edit:

Egwuatu is the judge not the lawyer - my mistake.

They both kissed the glass!

Dialpad:
They have been replaced asap.... you work 2hrs and want to be paid for 8hrs .... who does that ?


He can as well outsource those job functions to Nigeria and see them work and deliver results aggressively.

That 2 hrs claim was a lie, as many of those fired have been shown to have been among the top performers. Read the full article!

I'm trying to understand what the hullabaloo is about.

---

Downsizing to stay afloat is no big deal.
Or you rather he go down himself?

For me, there is no difference between you're fired (said to your face) and you're fired ( conveyed over a medium).
Is there any?

This should serve as a business lesson for everyone sha.
When shit hits the ceiling , it would be all you and you alone.

Do what works for you.

1. They are not downsizing to stay afloat, they re downsizing because the cEO is a dick

2. The manner in which the employees were fired was heartless and unecessary. I understand most of you are used to employers misbehaving but its not supposed to be so.

That is why communications, PR, and marketing people are the obnes leaving. He has made their job extremely difficult

UTILITYMAY:
Why will they shut down a school that was not the cause of the tragedy. Instead for them to scrap the LASTMA that has been causing accidents all these while. Misplacement of priorities.

I struggle to reconcile this logic - is it not within LASTMA's purview to chase down an errant road user? I should think you would lay the blame right where it squarely belongs, on the reckless truck driver who was breaking the law by fleeing the constituted authority., and who did so without any regard for the safety of others.

May i let you in on the workings of the human kind?

The second boy didnt win because of networking or anything like that.

Children are too young ti successfully plan that far ahead.

He won because he is more handsome.

Simple. Though his colleagues may not know it, they are drawn to him because of the evooutionary instincg tonpercoeve good loooking people as superior.

If 5 Policemen have to run after him while in his own compound, how many will he need when he leaves his compound?

It wasnt in his compound. It was outside, and then he rode in

We4all:
There is a thin line between punishment and bullying. 99.9% of those with the power to punish end up bullying. My take is, seniors shouldn’t be conceded with that much authority because it encourages superiority complex among students.

Agreed. That's why I said the fault lies with the school. But it is unfair to then accuse those who act within the approved parameters, of bullying. If it is school-sanctioned, then it is not bullying.

As to whether it should be school-sanctioned at all, I don't even think teachers should beat or administer corporal punishment of any kind, not to talk of students.

We4all:
You punished her sister for disobeying the rules, same way they punished Sly for disobeying them. What’s the difference though?

In my opinion, seniors shouldn’t be given so much powers over their juniors. Also, physical punishment should be condemned in its entirety.

I wish I could go back in time and deal with those people who messed with me. Nonetheless, if you try shit with me now, I overreact as a way to make up for the times I was bulldozed.

Dont distort reality.

In our schools seniors are given authority to punish. The fault lies with the school.

What seniors are not given authority to do is bully, beat up, and torture a boy in the dead of the night, as punishment for not joining their cult!

omoadeleye:
The reason for laying off workers is due to some market conditions and to continue the company to be a going concern,

You literally did not know what the company is facing, and the company is in the banking industry and i believe people are making enough transactions.

And you said capital can't be rendered to a distressed company, i will tell you that you are absolutely wrong on that, cause when a company continuity is being threatened, they can either liquidate or try to raise some forms of capital in order to continue as a profitability company, since it's in the company interest to reduce the workforce, thou it's an harsh development but it's as well for the betterment of the company and can be temporary pending the time the company will get back on it's and start employing new employees.

Of course a company can raise funds when it is distressed, but I was specific. I said venture capital whcih is essentially what they have done - now for venture capitalists to give you that much money, your company must either be in great health, or will be in the near future. In either of those cases, firing staff becomes unnecessary.

And are the only ones in finance? Who else has fired 900 staff that you know off?

All this speculation is unnecessary. It is clearly written why he fired them and it was entirely due to their performance:

Garg later reiterated his stance on a blogpost on Blind, saying he was cutting some staff for "stealing" through laziness.

"You guys know that at least 250 of the people terminated were working an average of 2 hours a day while clocking 8 hours+ a day in the payroll system?

"They were stealing from you and stealing from our customers who pay the bills that pay our bills. Get educated," he add[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

MrMacinterchi1:
the Mom texted"don't do it" to him the day he carried it out. the dad texted "he should learn how not to get caught" the time he was caught by her teacher searching for ammunition in class.

Are you adding to or subtracting from my post? I'm not sure what your point is ...I mean that with no malice

Opexzy:
Shut up, you are the silly one here.

That they raked in 750 million last week is nothing special to a business that has thousands of employees, do you think they started planning to sack 900 people a week ago

Some of you are just too dumb and emotional at the same time.

omoadeleye:
Do you expect them to use the new cash to pay workers?

I clearly never said so. But that cash injection is clearly sufficient to fix any structural leakages that would have attributed to covid. The market has recovered across the global economy, so there is no further argument as to the company suffering from Covid.

But moreover, no one is pumping 750 million venture capital into a company that is in distress. Thus it is completely bewildering to cite covid-related distress as a causal factor for sacking 9% of one's workforce.

This idea is made even less plausible by the fact that the company's valuation has just shot up. Read the full article and stop speculating.


And if that is not enough for you, the CEO has already hinted over and over again that the fred staff were fired due to laziness.

It's all in the article.

Opexzy:
Covid really did some company dirty, I wish them best of luck in their future job hunt.

Try to read the post to avoid sounding silly.

The company just received a cash injection of 750 million.

HelloWriter:
I think that the burden of the responsibility would be on anyone acting in loco parentis (in parental position). If they did it while at home, their parents would have been the ones to hold responsible. But, now that they did it while at a boarding school, the school managers are to be held responsible.

A case in point relates to the minor involved in the recent school shooting in Michigan, USA. His parents have been arrested because he came to school from his home with the gun on the day of the shooting.

Even in Late Sylvester's case, his real parents may also share in the responsibility as many Nairalanders agree on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6880945/opinion-why-blame-oromoni-snr

Bruv, you no go school to study law. Dey your lane na?

Total misrepresentation of the law and facts.

In the Michigan case, there is evidence that the parents actively aided and abetted by ignoring the clear warning signs and in one case, his mother even texted him "don't get caught" when he was caught searching for ammunition.

Totally different cases.

Now, the school authorities can be held responsible if it is found that they acted negligently, or wilfully encouraged such beatings, or then covered it up when it happened. But never just because the beating happened at school.

Avoid misinforming people.

Jayzel:
I've been dating my beautiful damsel for over 6 years now (2015), she has been financially supportive to me when things were so rough for me untill now things are a bit balance, since when our relationship kickoff we have never fought for once, we do argue most~times and later in the day we settle it inside our bedroom at night, she's so respectful and honest to both me and my family members.

There's a pretty damsel working in a UBA bank close to my residencial area here in Oniru Lekki, when I do return every~day from my working place I do branch at the bank to save some money in my account, the lady is my favourite cashier so I do give her the money and take my leave, so later in the day she will transfer the money into my account without no delay at all. But yesterday she called me on phone that she wanted us to hang out together (today being sunday) that all bills & expenses on her. I'm seriously confused now.

I still love my current girlfriend and i don't wanna hurt her feeling's, plz help out peers.

Which confusion?

You have a beautiful girl and you say the relationship is going well.

Now just because someone asked you out to hang out, you are confused?

There is not confusion here. You are attracted to the new girl so its either you go ahead and cheat and be happy or you learn some self control.

But believe me, when women say men are scum, it'syou they are talkign about.

Interesting seeing how many people are coming up with Zuze as an answer.

Clearly, a vast portion of Nigerians are really not smart at all.

Romanoff:
Even in fighting back, your child can get killed.

Many of us here were bullies, it is a very bad behaviour and if has messed up the mental health of a lot of kids.

It has nothing to do with boarding schools cause even day school children get bullied.

It has to do with failed parenting.

I think parents should also be held accountable for the behaviours of their kids.

The post is not about fighting physically

Opeyemic01:
The new coach is already in town now, so whether he formally steps down or not, they have already taken the job from him and the management is not even discreet about it, so why is he saying after a lot of thought and deliberation? Like he has a choice?

Is head coach the only position??

Even Donald Trump all of them had rich dad....


Bill gate could afford personal computer when it was still expensive and when he was just a kid

Otedola son of Lagos governor

Adeleke son of politician

Folorunso Alakija daughter of Rich Politician

Elder Saraki son of rich Oyo and Mali trading family

Tinubu, son of Iyaloja General, Father been a colonial police , all uncles wealthy decendants of Tinubu dynasty

Even Buhari's father was a Village head and a rich trader before death, and his sister married wealthy Emir of ZauZaau making him access the Zaria palace for wealth and connection to attend best schools



.

There was nothing like a personal computer when Bill Gates was a kid. His early access to computers came at schol, where he spent hours using the computer provided by the school's computer club.

I Hav a Theory about the new covid Omicron...

I really think the world leaders hav met on close door and they are really not happy with Africans decisions on neglecting Vaccine dosage s.

According to statistics just 6% population in all African countries combined have taking the jab....

The world Health Organization ain't happy about this and they believe Africans travelers will put other continents at risk as long as border is open ...So they Develop a fake non-existent new variant called Omicron whick will appear serious and deadly to help African hav second thought about taking the neccassry vaccine.....

I believe there is Covid 19 generally... But I don't wanna believe in the new variant...


It's just a random theory

So how does your theory account for the new variant being first discovered by Africans?

Rest bros, rest

You replied my comment without following the conversation. Admit it (to yourself coz nobody else cares), and quit this childish "rest bro" habit.

Bye.

OSDD:
Bros, na the harassment the op the complain about.. So spare me this definition, even the op no deny say e no owe dem

As you can see, I didn't reply to the OP. I replied to a specific comment about being a debtor.

OSDD:
The fact that he still has three month of installment means he still has time to meet up..

A debtor is a person who owes money. Out of time or not, he is a debtor until he pays in full.

Y'all are insane! The purpose of the redpill is to make smashing easy?

Real alphas aren't lust-driven psychos...being a real man means being in complete control, especially of your libido!

Going about looking as the asses of women is low...and creepy...

Women always trying to define what a "real man" is.

Newsflash honey, all men look at womens bums and thats perfectly natural.
