Celebrities › Re: Iyabo Ojo takes legal action against actor Yomi Fabiyi, Demands 100 Million by SmartyPants(m): 8:52am On May 13, 2021
Rockyfancino:
I am very sure you do know that there is no provable evidence for this case and that is why that setup video was made in the first place. Now, as far as my knowledge permits me, once there's a case of rape by a minor in the western countries, then it's straight jail term. Lots of careers has been abruptly halted because of this. Do you remember this westerners are far more advanced than us?

Let me say how this case would most likely end. There is no evidence against the accused and the courts grants him freedom.

Now, I see why this girl told me she cannot come out to say what happened to her because she described a scenario like this and I honestly now reason with her, she will only be the one in shame. And sadly, it happened again (now as an adult) but she cannot say anything because she knows Nigerians more than I do. This is sad.

I have a question for you. Do you believe the little girl, that she has been getting raped for 7 years or not? If yes, how would you prove it with the exact same realistic state of country?
Stop speculating on things you're not knowledgeable about. There is no developed legal system anywhere in the world where an allegation on its own is sufficient to warrant a conviction. There must be supporting evidence.

In this case, the video is evidence that can be tendered in Court so i'm not sure what your argument is about again.

Rockyfancino:
I am wrong with the bailable thing and I will say i was emotional about it but it's still besides my point. This is a part of the reply I gave someone:


there is no evidence for a rape that's been happening over 7 years. Have you ever seen an evidence like that? Except the woman starts shouting and people rush in there. But in a case where something has been happening for years, there is no evidence. As long as the child says that. Look, i have know someone who's been in a situation like this and it even takes the grace of God for them to say it out afterward. I have read lots of rape cases, this thing destroys them.

Do you want to have a female child and God forbid, tells you something like this, then you say you're are waiting for evidence.

in fact, tell me. I saw a very short clip of the video where he started making advances. Are you saying to have sex with a 14 your old, consensual or not is legal in the Nigeria's Law? Or Why would he even make advances to a minor in the first place. You're trying to tell me now that if you see and adult making sexual advances to your child and or teenage sister, you're just going to sit down and say there is no evidence?
Of course, we all saw the video and know that he is guilty
Didn't you see this in my response?

Now as a father in this unfortunate situation I might murder any such bastard. But this is why no man can be a judge in his own case. As an impartial arbiter of the law, my duty is to the Law. I would be strongly obligated to maintain a veneer of neutrality.

That is the law and the law must be upheld no matter what. That is why one of the first principles of Law is "let justice be done though the heavens may fall".

Rockyfancino:
You all are sounding like educated illiterates. I see a flood of mentally deranged replies on this move. Tell me, in a sane country would the Yomi still be able to walk freely? Like someone said, is the crime a bailable one? The case would be lost and nothing will be done in Nigeria but this woman is trying to make that not happen, are you all blind. Is it until he roams freely and your sisters his next victim?

You all are annoying. Do you know how badly rape affects people? It destroys most people totally, be it guy or girl. You all who say nonsense are dull brain cells. You people are not even qualified to complain about Nigeria's situation, i am terribly disappointed in you people.
This is in fact the most uneducated reply so far, at least from a legal perspective. From the perspective of the law, the accused is still innocent. Of course, we all saw the video and know that he is guilty, but guilt is to be pronounced in Court, and per the dictates of our legal system,he is entitled to bail as he would be in any sane country.

Now I don't know your definition of sane country but I will tell you that even murder is bailable in the Western countries. Do your best to understand that bail is not an acquittal.

The very first was on Upwork. I was fortunate in that I had skills and proof of it. Also, I got started before Upwork became so saturated. However it was only the first. I never liked the model of competition and don't use it much now.

My other remote experiences have come from knowing the major operators in the industry and approaching them directly.

I don't know if Unoma Akpabio owns Davok Suites but what I know is that David Hundeyin is badass intelligent investigative journalist. David deserves a national award.
Some aspects of his investigation were not thorough. For example, his source for claiming that the madam owns that hotel is merely a Sahara reporters piece which says "reportedly". So even Sahara Reporters are not sure.

In summary what happened:

Simple, Israel gave them a land to live in (Israeli owned right o)..only that they should pay rent all these years...they said noooo.

Courts said they should pack out.

Started attacking Jews on the streets...then eventually sent rockets into the Israeli city...Israel retaliated.

Ignoramuses now come out everywhere to blame Israel and and pass propaganda and ignorant reasons why Israel is at fault.
Come on be guided by truth. The land was settled on by Palestinians first. The Israelis were then granted a portion to live on during the Aaliyah of the 20th century. A lot of things have happened since then but the truth is that Israel continues to grab more land than is permissible under international law.

Psych412:
This is a very serious issue. Spending on a lady doesn't give you the right to ask her for sex. This needs to stop. Taking a girl out for a date doesn't have to be sex in return.


Please let's try to be responsible
If you dont want the sex then say no and move on. Men are free to want what they want and there are women happy to give it.

Don't mind that guy, Nwakali has a good agent who got him his first deal with Arsenal, his problem for not making at Arsenal was down to work-permit and not talent.

He is an amazing player but very unlucky
At this point, we have to accept that he isn't good enough. He left Arsenal for Porto and still couldn't play. That should tell you the story.

That's what you think because u feel u can't sell them. Guy, those products were sold to you, several other people bought and are still buying them.
If hadn't thought they were over
priced and u believed and wanted to sell those products, believe me, you would have sold those products and made a handsome profit in return.
Lol. Of course I could sell them easily. The friend I patronized made big money and drove a brand new four wheel. But I sat with her and pointed out to her that the business model was not commercially viable. At first, like you, she argued but then in the course of her presentation one of her slides (issues by the company itself) pointed out that it is more advantageous to join early because as the program grows those that join late make little or nothing. So essentially as an early adopter, you would be running around convincing people to sign up for your own benefit knowing that either they or their own signees will lose their investment. My conscience is above that.

I knew all this when I paid for the products. I just wanted to patronise her.

I tested the products by using them myself, and giving some to friends. There was no special effect. I researched the ingredients and found they were just the same as regular products.

I approached stores to check prices and realised they were overpriced so even the stores wouldn't want to take them. But above all these, a simple logical examination should tell you that the underlying idea of network marketing is not commercially sound.

A company gives you a product and promises to give you unreasonable amounts of money if you get more people to sign on. Where is the money coming from? It's coming from two channels: one is the people who keep pumping money into the scheme. But because you always have to bring people in multiples, this number grows exponentially and the company accumulates a huge debt. The only way to recoup their money is if at a certain stage, a disproportionately large amount of people are not able to bring in anyone under their down line. Of course, this is the ultimate goal of every network marketing scheme.

Secondly, the money comes from inflating the prices of those products. So at the end of the day you can only cash out by:

1. Misleading people as to the benefits of the investment side of things; or

2. By misleading them as to the benefits of the product.


It doesnt seem like honest work to me.

Dialpad:
What was misleading, product or price ? I am confused.
Everything...the products are usually marketed as wonder products but they are just ordinary. The prices are higher than market value but they tell you it's a good deal, etc. But what I meant and omitted to say, was the idea that multiple level marketing is an investment opportunity misleading though you can't exactly call it a scam.

The easiest money you would make from network marketing comes from selling the products. Networking and growing ur downlines is cool, but thrive to sell the products inoder to make profits and earn commissions and bonuses.
This is the easiest cash out in network marketing.
Any network marketing setup that doesn't have good products u can sell, it's not worth joining.
The products are always overpriced. I tried network marketing once to patronise a friend and ended up using 80k worth of toothpaste and black soap by myself coz I couldn't bring myself to market what I knew to be somewhat misleading.

In my opinion, that is basically an employer and employee relationship, it does not mean you have been accepted into his circle.

On second point, you have to look at the calibre of people getting funding in Nigeria, most are not from the average joe family and many studied abroad or are dual nationalities. To get it correctly, only few are accepted.

Also some did open applications for YC and other incubators or VC firms, the reality is that the relationship is still just like an employer and employee relationship until you have proven yourself either by making cash for the investors before you are accepted.

This is my opinion, it does not mean i do not agree with what you wrote down.
Alright, fair enough

Business Development not Business. Business Development is a distinct field of its own. There's nothing wrong with using both consulting and business development in the same name as they are different fields in the same industry.

Skills bring money.

What is the essence of skills without money.

In Nigeria or global setting today, money is everything, money means having influence.
Yes, but a skilled person at the beginning of their career can have a reputation but no money. Yet without money can easily network with an unskilled person with money. The basis of networking is simply having something to exchange.

In fact, this is clearly visible in the fintech industry where clever tech people attract massive funding.

Defined goal.

Networking between Someone without influence and someone of influence in most cases always lead to disaster and pain that is because the person of influence will see you as a cv dropper and most times will avoid you but if 2 people of influence meet and network it is a whole different game.

The logic is the reason the rich network among themselves and the poor among themselves, take that analogy and put it in the workplace and any environment, you will see the same effect
Influence doesn't mean money per se. You can gain influence by your reputation for being skilled or brilliant at something relevant.

I honestly don't know why some people are so quick to judge.
From the video, the guy did not beat that woman, he was only trying to free himself from the woman. Do you think that if the guy was to beat that woman, she would wait?
And for those that'll argue that the guy beat the woman. Which part of her body was he hitting?
Lastly, it's obvious that those behind the camera ain't a big fan of the woman which in turn could mean that the woman is wrong. Reasons being that a particular voice behind the camera said and I quote "she's a woman ni kinni- yoruba" which translates to "so what if she's a woman" he should go ahead and fight for his freedom her, that is they're are in support of the guy.
And even the fact that nobody attempt to separate them can as well mean he wasn't beating her.
You're observant, my friend.
