Did I read 1900? How long ago is it?
Why bring Akaluka matter up today that he's dethroned.
Rabble rousing FFK

You read the mid 1990s. that is circa 95!

“ This action is in preparation for the unlikely but probable major outbreak of the disease in the country which will require a multi-sectoral inter - governmental approach as advised by the World Health Organisation similar to that adopted for the HIV epidemic in the last two decades . ”

How can something be both unlikely and probable at the same time?

I think the two ladies need to run from you. And you need to hold off on getting married until you grow up. Intentionally harsh but no offence intended.

Then it was a pyrrhic victory for him.

Meanwhile, Man city dominated all through but @ the end Man utd was victorious.

I'm a staunch Liverpool fan, you all know what that means.

I hate man utd!

Even though, I ought to support them today to win to reduce the number of matches Liverpool would have to win to become champion. But hell NO, I wanted them beaten.

Anyways, congratulations to all Liverpool fans around the world!

The EPL trophy is heading back to its usual base.

I LOVE LIVERPOOL FC

City dominated the second half in possession, not the whole game. And that was a tactical concession.

CokeBar:
Yea, it's always better if you resign yourself.

I honestly didn't see that coming

You cheated... Sorry, but you deserved it. Happy you have another job, and I hope you have learned your lesson.

Gnaeusmagnus:
Okay, rant away.

I'm a Southerner, I'm tired of both Northeners and Southerners denying they have a problem.

You are like the Northerner here who was posting pictures of how beautiful Kano city is, meanwhile, the poverty rate in the same city is high.

Sometimes, I no get you Nigerians. You rant about the poverty and crime and evil in other regions, and pretend your region is modern and up to date, when in reality it [b]is just as poverty stricken, and a bomb waiting to explode[/b].

87% of poor people in Nigeria live in the North. That means South Nigeria is actually a relatively prosperous nation.

RIP thought and prayers.
This not a Christian villages don't even bring the religion conspiracies. The insecurities in Nigeria is due to past administration corruption and bad governess

Insecurity: What Buhari has done, and is doing


Each time he itemizes the three focal areas of government, President Muhammadu Buhari follows the same order: we shall secure the country, because you have to first secure a country or institution before you can efficiently manage it. We will revive the economy, and create jobs, particularly for our teeming youths, and then, we will fight corruption.

The order above shows the priority that the President gives to security, as well as law and order in the country. But each time there’s a glitch or snafu (situation normal all fouled up) in the country, some naysayers scream and wail as if nothing is being done. But the hard truth is that a lot has been done in terms of security, and is still being done by the Buhari Administration.

When he came in May 2015, what did he meet? A country that was almost in disarray, with bombs going off like firecrackers daily. The insurgency by Boko Haram was festering in the North-east, North-West, North-Central, with Abuja, the Federal capital having been serially bombed. There was Nyanya 1, Nyanya 2, United Nations Building, Police Force Headquarters, series of shopping malls, churches, mosques, and many others, all bombed, with many lives lost.

The insurgents were already in Kogi State, almost overrunning it. And from there, where would they have headed? South-west, from where they would bivouac in South-south, and the country would be gone. Dead. Forgotten.

But at Eagle Square, where he took the oath of office on that memorable day, the brand new President gave a directive. The command centre of the Boko Haram war should move to Maiduguri, in Borno State, which was the epicenter of the insurgency. Pronto, the Service Chiefs moved, and the country was saved.

Boko Haram got flushed out of Abuja, North-central, North-west, Yobe, Adamawa, and got circumscribed in Sambisa Forest. Soon, their last stand, Camp Zero fell, and since then, they have been scattered like sheep without shepherd. They mingled with the civilian population, from where they launch cowardly atavistic attacks. They became degraded, but just like a scorched snake, not beheaded yet, they still retain capacity for evil. But can you compare what is, with what used to be? Not at all.

But some people have short memories. They say not much is being done to tackle insecurity by the Buhari government. Really?
Admittedly, many more frontiers of insecurity have been opened: banditry, kidnapping for ransom, communal clashes, farmers/herders clashes, and many others. But the baby that says the mother will not sleep, he too will not snooze at all.

The Nigerian military was in tatters before Buhari came. They were ill equipped, ill trained, ill motivated, and were turning their backs to the enemies in the frontline. First thing to do was to restore morale through reequipping, retraining and improvements of salaries and welfare. It affected both the police and the military.

The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar gave an idea of what was, and what is, in Abuja two days ago, when President Buhari inaugurated two Agusta 109 Power and one MI-171 E helicopters.

Said the Air Chief: “Just five years ago, the Nigerian Air Force was facing serious challenges with an abysmal 35 percent aircraft serviceability status for all operable aircraft. At the same time, terrorism, insurgency and other heinous crimes were ravaging the nation with Improvised Explosive Devices exploding not only in the North-east but, indeed, in several urban centers, including the Federal Capital Territory.

“On assumption of office, the President approved the procurement of military equipment including fighter aircraft and helicopter gunships. This visionary step has profoundly impacted positively on Nigerian Air Force operations…Government has so far procured and inducted 22 aircraft, the Service is expecting 17 additional platforms including 12 Super Tucanos from the United States… The Service has undoubtedly come a long way from where it was in 2015.”

Just like its motto, the Nigerian Air Force is now willing, able and ready. President Buhari did it.

The army, navy, police, and all other security agencies are not left out in the new wind of reequipping and retraining blowing across the sector. And the result is the bloody nose being given criminals in different parts of the country. And it continues, till the whole land is secured.

If there was efficiency, why is there proliferation of regional security outfits; Amotekun in the South-West, Shege-Ka-Fasa in the North, and with other parts of the country warming up to set up their own? Good question. Security is collective responsibility. It is a collaboration between the government and the people, and those who heap all the blame on government, for political capital, are missing the point. The people must be involved in securing their communities and country, but within the bounds of the law.

The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), established by Nigeria and her neighbors to combat insurgency, got a fillip as soon as President Buhari got to office. With headquarters in N’djamena, Chad, it became a potent fighting force, under the inspiration of Buhari. The contribution to routing of the insurgents is unquantifiable.

What of the many military operations launched in different parts of the country, without which the land may have been impossible to live in?

Operation Lafiya Dole has recorded remarkable successes against Boko Haram. Over 12,000 hostages held by Boko Haram have been released, roads abandoned for many years have been reopened, same for schools closed for over two sessions, while emirs who fled their palaces have returned.
Operation Safe Corridor was established in 2015 to de-radicalize repentant insurgents. Thousands of them have reformed.

Don't make it too obvious that you are being paid.

sagtav:
Have they reached the 14days incubation period?

That is not relevant for testing.

kponkedenge:
When did it get to 29 cases in Africa? I'm confused.
Also, I knew it would be Europeans that would bring the virus to Africa instead of Chinese. There is no direct flight from China to Africa, but there are direct flights from Europe to Africa, making it all the more easy.

Egypt had a few more cases.

Nigeria, Cameroun, South Africa, and Tunisia with 1 each, Senegal with 3 or 4, and Algeria with 10.

An average southern bigot is as illiterate as a foreigner on Nigeria's diversity. Because someone speaks Hausa does not make him a Hausa man. Hausa is spoken as a general language in North regardless of the tribe. When it suits the bigots every northerner is Hausa,

I think his point is about the north in general and not Hausa people in particular. So you are simply reinforcing his point by showing that the north has connived to oppress the rest of us.

"So. Who does qualify? Those who have been out of the country in the last 14 days, and those who have had contact with one of the few people who have been tested and come up positive. That’s it."

In times like this, it is necessary not to give in to potential mass hysteria.

kokomaster3d:
How do you know there is abundant correspondence? The OP only showed 1 email from the woman and you believed that as a lawyer.

The court will only uphold unwritten contract if the party is an unstructured business like akara seller, shoe shinner, etc. But for a legal entity no - irrespective of financial power.

The OP is just ranting here in order to attract public sympathy and hoping someone somewhere will plead with FBN to pay him, without following procedure.

Please I don't like to argue.

Help yourself:

"Many who negotiate commercial contracts often assume that they are not bound unless and until the
agreement is reduced to writing and signed by the parties. However, the courts in England are not at all
reluctant to find that binding contracts have been made despite the lack of a final writing and signature.
Indeed, as we have previously noted, even in the narrow area where written and signed contracts are
required (for example pursuant to the Statute of Frauds requirement that contracts for the sale of land must
be in writing), the courts can find the requisite writing and signature in an exchange of emails

As for oral contracts, a recent informative example is presented by the case of Rowena Williams (as
executor of William Batters) v Gregory Jones (25 February 2014) reported on Lawtel reference LTL
7/3/2014 document number AC0140753. There the executor of the estate of a deceased minority
shareholder brought suit to enforce an agreement by the decedent to sell his shareholding to the majority
shareholder. The Judge held that an oral agreement for such a transaction was complete and binding
despite the intent of the parties that their agreement should be recorded in a formal written document that
they were to sign. Since the parties had not evidenced the clear intention that their oral agreement should
be ‘subject to contract,’ a formal signature on a written contract was not required."

Unless they admit. But for big company like FBN anything verbal doesn't hold water.

They cannot deny it. There is abundant correspondence. I don't know why you hold this conviction that the size of the company is relevant but let me advise you that actually, a Court will be more inclined to uphold the terms of an unwritten contract in favor of the party with lesser bargaining power.

If you don't know law, dont give legal opinions.

tee10:
This is the wrong way to handle commercial dispute. But I’m certain you wouldn’t listen

Your motivation here is “ disgrace and ruin First banks reputation” I have news for you, you can’t Succeed.

Learn from the failed World largest outdoor billboard project in Abuja, like you the man ran campaigns and paid blogs and journalists to force the hand of government, guess what his campaign hasn’t achieved anything!

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/323900-how-fct-minister-agencies-frustrated-installation-of-worlds-biggest-billboard-in-abuja.html

I suspect you a student, because I don’t expect a serious businessman to resort to activism as a means to resolve commercial disputes

You and your company will lose respect and sympathy if you continue on this wrong path and no serious brand will do business with you

As regards First bank I hope you haven’t burnt the bridge for future collaboration

Like I said earlier, you aren’t here for advice so I don’t expect to listen

Quote the right person please.

xtremecr8:
At the bolded,Really? We actually came here to let people know about our horrible experience, encourage them to speak up so we can exchange notes, solicit the help of well meaning men and women of conscience in this land to help us beg first bank to pay us for designing their 125th Year anniversary. Thank you for your advice sir. We actually don't hate first bank.

Our objective is already yielding results and there will soon be more small brands speaking up. We won't rest until men and women of conscience in this land wade in.
We won't meet with their legal unit because we no longer trust the judgement of Mrs Folake Ani-Mumuney who referred our request for payment to the legal unit after the ploy to fool us with a job to print about 100 ipad covers failed.We have course to reasonably suspect that the legal unit works hand in glove with her since they didn't see qualms in the corporate infringement and advice her against such decision she led the bank into.
They seem to all be profiting actively from such a system that robs small brands of their sweat and labour by going ahead to use the logo without paying us and still want to breathe down our necks.
We should actually be demanding an apology From them as well as our due payment.
We will meet with a higher authority that may include the top management but not that unit.

Our goals for this campaign is clearly not against the bank but these powerful clique of decision making people behind this that made a big brand like FBN to a point it wants to kill a small brand like us.

Our campaign is a noble one in the face of God and man. We laboured and invested a lot to design their 125th Anniversary logo, we have not been paid a dime for it.
We are grateful to God and those helping us so far to make reason prevail as we are already making some little progress.
We are grateful to you all.

Meet the legal unit and hear from them. Whatever they say can be used against them.

kokomaster3d:
My friend people work with facts and evidence, except you are not telling us the truth here. Where is your letter of engagement of service from FBN.

People are telling you to write official letter demanding for your money - you dont want to do it. No court will even listen to this matter. You have made mistake, just move on with your life. And who told Nigerian court system is that bad.

A verbal contract is still valid, and there is an abundance of evidence as to the existence of business relations. Of course, the matter is admissible before the Courts.

UK at about the age of 22 for a visit. In high school, lots of my friends used to travel so I had built up this longing to visit the UK. Every moment from the point we entered UK airspace at about 5:30 am on a slightly drizzly day was special to me. i kept looking around, trying to see if I would feel any different, and I sort of did. The cold, the buildings, the food smelled great but tasted bland, played some football. Checking out the white girls. It was nice.

Loved every minute of it, including the return trip home.

logon599:
I think Pogba has realised that with Fernades' sudden impact at United, he's no longer Old Trafford's golden boy nor the center of attraction, and he loves to be the center of attraction. He also now knows that Solskjaer can afford to offload him without batting an eyelid due to his high maintenance so he must now sit up. There's nothing as effective as a good competition

So when he was out and Rashford was the main man, did this not already happen? How is it that you sit in your home and formulate such strong convictions about how a person you have never met thinks?

IpobAntidote:
Ok

This is what a said yesterday, only a fool will give false information in this kind of situation. I gave them all correct information incase someone on my flight comes down with the virus days after landing.
But unfortunately, we have too.many dumb dumb asses who don't even understand the importance of given right information. It's for their own good.

Oga...he is talking about those who give false information on their disembarkation forms. these people could not have known their fellow traveler had coro coro

Arrewa:
Why do people so much adore fake news...

Anything to paint Islam and Northerners bad is what they're just after....nothing else

I'm in kano, this news is fake!!

This news is as fake as Aba product!!

The son of the cleric insulted Prophet Muhammad and threatened to join bokoharam...

Some group of area Boys and bigots attacked his family house in a mission to fish him out

This has nothing to do with almajiri...

So what is the functional difference between what you posted and what the news says?

Moving freely in Ibadan, no face mark

When MagicBishop stated this in another thread attesting to the virus being for life some idiots called him a peddler of fake news and conspiracy nutjob

What he posted was not correct. This case is an exception, and as we know, the exception often proves the rule. So far, out of all the patients treated only two including this man have relapsed.

Now scientist are not certain as to whether these are genuine relapsed or rather, failures in testing process. Nevertheless, 2 out of nearly 100,000 does not prove a trend.

Think about it.

tomdon:
While the stupid Nigerian government says they're fully prepared and they're still looking for those who had contact with the Italian who wasn't even tested when he arrived our international airport.

He was tested.

Xisnin:
Throwing around words doesn't make you look smart to knowledgeable people.
You mentioned defamation without context or any idea of EFCC's next move.
It is not for you to decide what meets which legal criteria, that shouldn't be too hard for a legal
luminary should it?

As you rightly said, stick to what you know!

Lol. But of course it is not for me to determine whether it meets legal criteria sir. It is a fact that it does not because what he did falls under the fair comment exception because it was made without malice/the maker of the statement believed it to be true.

I don't know why i would need to have an idea of EFCC's next move to know what defamation is or isn't.

Xisnin:
If the accusation does not meet the threshold of defamation according to you, then there is no reason
why anybody should care about the news.

If he had accused the Nigerian police of operating the center, most people won't
even bother to react as we expect worse behavior from them.
The aim of the guy was to paint EFCC in a bad light and he succeeded.

This is a classic case of defamation.

Sir, the threshold of defamation is a legal -- not common sense -- concept. If you don't have legal knowledge, kindly disengage at this point. This is not a battle for you.

Zooposki:
Then go to medical sites and read journals.

I have read what i have read, and I know what I know about he virus. Clearly, in the light of that, I do not agree with what either you or he said, and I am giving the both of you a chance to present your proof.

Show me one just one respectable publication that says exactly what you said.

Zooposki:
You no dey read news. I think the virus has 4 strains of HIV in it. Even if you recover from the virus the first time, you can get reinfected again. Just think of the virus as HIV that can spread through the air and by contact, instead of just through bodily fluids.

Thanks for your kind opinion, but as you saw before, I asked for PROOF.

JasonScoolari:
For the deputy majority leader of Germany parliament to lend his voice in support of the AMOTEKUN bill shows that the South West region is getting things right.


I hope the Chief of staff to President Abba Kyari, Major Gen. M. Buhari (rtd) is learning.

Oh these Nigerians

MagicBishop:
This is no Flu

This virus has an incubation period of 14 days where the infected do not show sign of illness but are still highly infectious.

This virus has been shown to be for life just like HIV. That means the infected even after treatment can still relapse and infect others.

Most worrying is that it affects male fertility which means males who get infected, but survive, become sterile and so can not have children.

Ebola will keep you down for about a month after just a day of exposure thereby limiting spread.

Every successful virus needs to be docile and not kill the host before it goes pandemic.

You do not know how dangerous this contagion is.

It is obvious it was a designer bio-weapon tailored for massive culling .

Be very afraid. This is not some random flu but a well engineered cutting-edge bio-weapon designed for mass culling.

Sorry, got some credible proof?

vivaciousvivi:
Unfortunately, the deed has most likely been done.
Same man sat in a plane with at least 80 others, passed through a crowded airport full of hundreds of people, touched guardrails, staircases, door handles, exchanged money, hugged one or 2 people etc since his arrival.
Same set of people have continued as "community hosts" to spread the virus to others.
We should just pray we have enough medical supplies and equipment to treat it.
None of the over 60 cases in the USA have died for instance, so treatment is possible.

The default outcome is survival not death even without any treatment.

tsephanyah:
Frustrating to see smart people not getting it, this thing is basically the flu. Last flu season 60 million people had the flu and 57,000 people died from complications of the flu, most were elderly or already sick from something else.

Who are the smart people not getting it?

Xisnin:
It is not the duty of EFCC to investigate detention facilities.
Why didn't the liar tell us which agency it belongs to?
People will become apathetic to similar news in the future because this idiot failed to do his job.

He may have made a mistake in his reporting but his point was not about EFCC, it was about the treatment of Nigerians. Secondly, there are no grounds for arresting him. What he did does not even reach the threshold of defamation.
