Acting President Osinbanjo is a servant of the state, under the command of his Head of State, PM Buhari. If he is instructed not to attend then he has no choice.

The boycott is only political since in fact Nigeria does have ongoing cooperations with Israel. Our DSS are part-trained there, and we buy military equipment from them.

Now on to the subtler side of things. While i certainly support Israel, i think taking political sides with them in the conflict may mean that African countries may be much more targetted by islamist radicals. That's a scary thought.

BiafranYouths:
19. S. A Admin Koko Iyammu Christian Akwa Ibom?

Koko Iyammu is an Edo name, Marginalization in High places....

That's why we need Biafra more than Nigeria.
We Akwa Ibom Youths don't stand a chance in Nigeria
In Biafra our Chances are endless
Biafra Ayaya! Biafra my Nation!! Biafra my pride

Your brain is not for decoration boy. Use it. The bearer of the name is an akwa ibom lady married to an Edo man.

hmmm...there is a strong french-speaking theme here

This looks terrible... Is that a kiss or is he performing mouth to mouth resuscitation??

Whyy lah?
Your last sentence

Just not a big fan of nollywood

ShawttySoFyne:
Anyone that sees something 'lustful' about this is a pervert

You know people just have to have something interesting to talk about. It seems obvious to me that the girl is simply staring at the man because well, that's RMD and she must have been surprised to see him there. Same look I gave Genevieve when I saw here on a plane though I don't like her at all

istoctober:
l have asked a pastor and he said l shouldn't confess but am worried cos he told me on Sunday that his uncle who is a native doctor will know if l am cheating on him.

A pastor told you not to confess?

sinaj:
Y blame the woman? anyone would av raised alarm too.

I think she was just security conscious, nd the soldier wasn't in uniform either.

I actually agree with you, but then it depends on how she raised the alarm. If she caused people to think he was robbing her then she has a case to answer...along with some extra judicial punishment

ephi321:
So how exactly were they planning to write WAEC with a "basic grasp of English"? Considering they were in SS3 and WAEC questions are all in English.

FYI
https://www.nairaland.com/3831438/teaching-chibok-girls-speak-good

Pass rates in WAEC from that region are quite poor aren't they? This is a documented problem with northern education.

The bottom line is, if you are hinting at a conspiracy, as i suspect you may be, then you are basically saying that The Nigerian Government under GEJ (the girls were release or escaped in 2014), Boko Haram, and the US or US agents are all in some weird unholy alliance...

Its a bit much

ephi321:
Meanwhile the other girls "just released" are supposedly being rehabilitated and "taught to speak English".

How did these 2 girls get their English up to scratch in just 3 years, such that they were able to graduate within the period of time?

1. These were final year high school students. For some perspective, some of ther mates would be getting ready to round up their studies in University atm. They were taken back to the equivalent of SS1 at the most and maybe even JSS3.

2. They would have had a basic grasp of English before, which would have probably be augmented by extra classes.

3. Their spoken English does not have too be great for them to pass English exams and coursework.

IhateAfonjas:

We're not celebrating arm robbery

This is a warning to his brothers who are following his footsteps

A warning? This is a historical account that features the man's biography, portraying him as a human being and almost extolling his daring and methods. The emphasis on the fact that he smiled to his death is both dramatic, designed to capture the attention, and at the same time imputes and aura of invincibility around the hoodlum by implying that he was not afraid of death.

Warning indeed!

Every 3 months this story graces the frontpage. Why are we celebrating an armed robber?

Nobleking1994:
There is yet to be a break in the chain of event because the woman is still suffering from the injury she got seven months ago because of the man's physical abuse of her.

You were talking about negligence. On whose part is the negligence supposed to be attributed to the man or the hospital.

It is the right of the person that was being physical abused to either file for assault or manslaughter because all of it was as a result of the man's physical abuse of the lady l.

I don't think yo fully understand the concept of the chain of causation. Prescribing pain killers on the part of the hospital is intact a major interference in the chain of causation. Had she been properly examined she would most likely have survived.

Aslo assault and manslaughter are criminal charges. It is the duty of the police to prosecute the offender.

Nobleking1994:
Proximate cause

You're saying the same thing as i am with different words (break in the chain of causation=proximate cause). The issue for me is that the break in the chain of causation is so severe that the man should never be made to serve the full 14 year provision of the law. The woman was taken to hospital where she ought to have been properly diagnosed. The failure to diagnose what could not have been so serious since she survived for months, and instead put her on a course of pain killers is in my opinion rash negligence, and therefore the most proximate cause of death.

I put it to you that the man ought to have been charged in the first instance with assault which is a lesser charge, and that had he been convicted which would have been the likely outcome, upon the death of the woman 7 months down the line, it would have been impossible to charge him with manslaughter, since "no man shall be punished twice for the same offence".

This was not done, though clearly it ought to have been done. Therefore i would raise the defense that Equity regards as done, that which ought to have been done. And where Equity conflicts with the Law, Equity shall prevail.

Edit: Furthermore, the defense of provocation if properly applied would almost certainly ensure that the sentence would have been reduced to the bare minimum.

If that man was my client he walks free.

lawyer:
At no point should you hit a woman. What are you trying to prove? You are stronger than her and more powerful so no need to exhibit the disparity in strength. I agree alot of women have loose tongues or do things that would provoke a man to thump her to eternity but as a man have you thought of the repercussions if it goes awry?

I remember one case almost 15yrs ago when I was serving in the ministry of justice Oyo where a wife provoked her husband so badly when they had a misunderstanding. She said all sorts of imprintable things to him and reduced his masculinity in front of his neighbours but he kept quiet. She made fun of his sexual performance in bed but he kept quiet. Everyone laughed at him but he chose to ignore her. Then she shifted gears and called his mom a witch. He got so mad and hit her rib cages and followed that with rains of slaps. The neighbours now pulled him back to stop beating her but he kept saying he has warned her not to say anything negative about his mom. He could take any abuse from her but his mom was a no go area. The neighbours settles the fight and everyone went to bed. The next day she complained of body pains and was rushed to the hospital. She was given pain killers to soothe her pains and she did this constantly for 7 months. One night she died in her sleep and when she was rushed to the hospital/ morgue and the Official Coroners report was that she died due to the pains she received 7months ago from the beating.

The husband was charged for manslaughter and the Oyo state Directorate of Public Prosecutions pulled out a section stating "any bodily harm caused by another leading to death within 12months of that complaint of that pain such a person is liable to 14 years imprisonment."

That case changed my life towards anger management and how to ignore people who provoke you to death. Nobody remembered how he ignored his wife who mentally abused him to death and destroyed his masculinity but that 2 minutes of anger and rage to beat his late wife was remembered by the courts leading to his incarceration for 14years. So let this story guide men out there that get angry unnecessarily. If she provokes you please walk away. There is no shame or who being hurt. Rather walk out of the abusive relationship and get someone better. Some women are born toxic and you would only hurt yourself submitting to their negative vibes and mental abuse. If you believe there is a need to teach her a lesson by beating her to respect you also remember she could complain of pains leading to death and nobody would come to your aid to plead for you or remember she was at fault.

The OP stated 3 instances, none of which relate to trying to prove anything. Just admit that you want to tell your story.

Regarding the case you referenced:

1. The defense of provocation is applicable
2. The chain of causation is broken since the victim did visit a medical care provider who failed to treat her satisfactorily.

Did that man have a competent lawyer??

paschal47:
Real men don't hit women, they protect their lady




But attack my Mom and find yourself six feets below.


I get you on another man, I'll just grab a chair get a gun and watch you guys keep doing it until both of you passes out

So you won't beat a woman but you would kill/ maim her with your gun? Logical.

LalaLushness:
The scary thing is he looks very very comfy

Yes and very pretty too

rheether:
Were can I watch the watch?

in a watch shop of course

this is so nice of them...how i wish Nigerian feminists could follow suit

Reminds me of my former job where every single one of our 130 something plus staff got a message and a birthday cake and i alone got nothing. Never complained but it helped me make up my mind to leave.

Ralphdan:
Don't mind those fools
These civilians have not done much wrong they were merely protecting their properties or shld they have allowed him to steal and go free if he was truly a thief ? Though they shouldn't have killed him.

Are you okay?

The man was not caught in any act of criminality. He was merely suspected to be a criminal for the sole fact of having a firearm in his possession, for which sane rational people would merely detain him till such a time as they could hand him over to the police at most.

Thought Nigerians had issues with English till i saw what those Ghanaian fellows are doing to the Queen's language.

chinoxstock:
So Buhari hands over power to osinbajo, Osibanjo becomes president and Buhari still retains his position? Even after handover?
Pseudointellect!

You think you know....but in reality you are as dumb as fùck.

Are you sure you are ok?

What i don't understand is why any soldier would carry his firearm but not his ID card...

So sad

achimotan:
The Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira West, Samuel Nsowa-Djan, has called on the Minister of Defence, Dominic Nitiwul, and Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Major General Obed Akwa to call some soldiers deployed to Denkyira-Obuasi in the Central Region to search for killers of Captain Maxwell A. Mahama, to order.

Captain Mahama was lynched by irate youth of the community on suspicion that he was an armed robber after a group of residents from whom he asked for directions during a Monday dawn jogging session spotted a pistol on him.

The community on Tuesday 30 May turned into a ghost town as residents fled from soldiers sent there to investigate the circumstances leading to the murder of their colleague. Reports said the soldiers were allegedly arresting and beating up residents.
Reacting to the development on 12Live on Class91.3FM, Mr Nsowa-Djan appealed to the soldiers to operate within the remit of the law. He was of the opinion that the situation could escalate if the youth of the town strike back at the soldiers.

Speaking to Jonas Ofori-Yeboah, the lawmaker, who disclosed he was on his way to his constituency to ascertain the facts for himself, said: “According to sources, over 30 people have been arrested including women but I can’t confirm it. But just now, I’ve been told that a lame man has been arrested and molested and when a situation of this nature happens, it is also going to lead to another problem.

“What the community did is very bad and I condemn it, but the way the military is also taking the issue I think it’s a whole lot. The community I’m told is now virtually empty. They have fled to the neighbouring communities and their farms and other places. So I’m appealing to the military, the Minister of Defence, and Chief of Defence Staff to call his people to order because if the people are to retaliate, the end result will be very bad.”

How can you send in the aggrieved party (naturally wild boys in the first place), to investigate their own complaint and not expect excesses?

TheFreeOne:
Some lies are too glaring to be believed.

Maybe he's been quoted out of context cos 30k for a house? even if dangote donates free cement, free roofing sheets from Nigerite and frogeye relinquish some of those fraudulently acquired lands I cant see it happening except the government builds and sell for 30k which is still totally impossible.

Problem is most of you lack basic comprehension really.

"The same fund will enable us to provide inexpensive mortgages for hundreds of thousands across the country who want to own homes."

Or you don't know how mortgages work?

Don't you think you guys ought to take better care of your environment since you are rearing chickens and eggs (prey) and your area is apparently a natural habit for snakes of various types (predators)?

Note that the black one is a highly venomous cobra and could easily send you to your grave. This can easily be solved by clearing any unnecessary bushes and junk, and fixing the holes in your fence.

brunofarad:
This is nice, who's that tall fine guy on a yummy suite

For the ones asking if am gay just because I admired the pastor on blue suite,

Am not gay ok

But at least I know when to compliment nice looking people

You may know when to compliment, but you certainly don't know how. Why refer to the man as 'yummy'? Don't you know the meaning of that word? Now that i think about it...its very possible you actually don't know...

smh for some Nigerians

fpeter:
But he kept hitting her even after he had her pinned to the floor.

Is it that you can't see that he was hitting her hand to let go of his cloth or whatever she was holding?

That man was not beating the woman.

frenchwine:
Brings to the fore the sorry state of how our professional sports outfits are run. I dare say there was no team doctor on ground, not even a nurse trained in BLS. These are essential and should be a must for any sports outfit.
Do I even need to ask if there is a team ambulance?
The poor man may have ruptured an aneurysm or thrown an embolus for all we care but how do we know when he would be rushed to be buried according to religious rites, without an autopsy.
Well, if you can't beat them, join them. So I hereby join you all to type:
R.I.P

Why say things you have no idea about?

All over the world people slump and die on in training and in actual matches. Every year there are a number of cases in Europe, so you don't have to latch on to every opportunity to abuse this country.

nowadays all sorts of people quote scripture... "let He who is without sin cast the first stone" was not used by Jesus to condone perpetual sinning but rather to show mercy, after which He added "go and sin no more".

I pity this wicked generation.

Bro i really feel your pain, especially having had a caring dad, i can imagine what my life might be like without his influence. Having said that, this is the situation you are faced with and you have to man up. You can learn a trade to put yourself through school as so many others are doing.

Turn to God and be serious with your relationship with Him as if your life depends on it, becaue it does.

You can make it with or without your father.

P.s You don't need to hate or resent your father since he has obviously done what he can up until this moment. Always remember him for the good he has done.
