Is there any sense in challenging an order from a civil case?

So, if VIO or FRSC fines me N5k today for traffic offense, is there any sense in wasting time challenging the order?

Since it’s a forfeiture resulting from a civil case, what’s the point fighting it? Tinubu was already a Senator when the forfeiture order was made against his account. So, it makes more sense to simply allow the civil forfeiture order stand than to keep wasting money on appeal. Same way we all pay VIO and FRSC fine for traffic offense without appeal.

Are you saying, in like manner, Tinubu committed a drug (related) offence?

If you must be a fan of someone, please be so objective about it.

I'm not saying I don't support Tinubu's presidency buh we must call a spade a spade. If we continue to allow this level of sentiment to triumph in our society Nigeria will remain a baby state in 1million years to come. He who goes to equity must go with clean hands.

sofeo:
Let's see how it goes.

Goes where?

Favourchris:
That’s the problem… u don’t even know u are suffering anymore, because it has become ur normal.

Explaining things to people like u is very difficult

Uppercut.

SwissMass:
Well it is to cushion the effects of subsidy removal, it is not a complete salary or income

For how long?
That thing has little or no meaning.

I am not writing this for religious people to come with their funny talks, I am just putting this out here to hear from people who might have tried this methods or who heard about this methods and still proceeded or did not. I want to hear your experience. I have been dating someone for 5 years now, it happened that I began to see her as someone I would want to spend my life with. Last year we did our genotype test and we were both AS. Now , I know some of you will say this should be the first thing you ask when you meet someone but c’mon, would you say people in university that are dating now, would ask their sef that question? That theory is only feasible when you are single and ready to get married and want to start a new relationship, then you can always ask, but we all know some of our relationships started when we no Dey even see marriage in the nearest future, all of a sudden you just see them as the right person and you take the bold step. Now, I had to meet my family doctor here in Canada, I explained to him my current situation and he referred me to a GENETIC COUNSELOR. I am trying to take the necessary steps cause I am not ready to bring in a child with Sickle cell to this world, and I am not leaving anything to faith. A fone appointment was set with the counselor and we spoke at length. She told me that in every foetus, there is a 25% chance that we can get an SS child. Now , how do we mitigate this percentage to the barest minimum I asked as I am not even ready to bring in a sickler to this world. She gave me three options, I would rather say two because the last involves test when the baby comes, and that is out of the question.

Option 1:
A) CVS: They take a sample of the fluid in the womb through her vagina, at 12 weeks to test, if it’s good then fine, if not we have to terminate.

OR

B) At 16 weeks, they take the fluid using a needle directly from her womb, and if it’s SS , they terminate. Both procedures are cover by the government and we don’t need to pay a dime.

Now, she assured me that abortion is a very safe procedure if done properly, and it is even a bigger risk that one can die from a penicillin injection or carrying a pregnancy to term than any harm during an abortion.I know many people would come here and say abortion is this and that but let us be frank to ourselves. If you were told that the child in your womb would have cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome or a neurological disorder, would you still keep that pregnancy? Is there a 100% assurance that two AA people would give birth to a healthy baby? I have come to a realization that pregnancy is just a risk that people take, cus you really don’t know how your child would turn out.


Option 2:
PGD. This is just like IVF, where they would select the genotype before they insert back to the womb. She told me the government doesn’t cover this, and it could cost between $10K- $40k. However she mentioned, just like IVf, it is not guaranteed as it can fail and your money is gone.

I discussed this with my girl in Nigeria and she said she was fine with option 1a. I then asked her, that if the first, second are SS would she still remove it. She accepted. I would not lie to you, this girl is everything I want in a woman. I am not just looking at just love because I know love fades with time, but she is a really nice person, and has a good character. She has always been like this from my days in Nigeria because I was with her before I moved outside. Now after finding out our genotype, I tried to get into a relationship with AA. The first one Dey nigeria, she is a nice person, beautiful, but I just didn’t like her or feel attracted to her. She got tire and we just free ourselves, the second one is here in Canada, I just don’t like this one . Please note, I never slept with any of these ladies because I feel it’s not fair.


Now my question is for those who knew all this and still proceeded, how did it work out for you?

I repeat, don’t come here to tell me about how abortion is this and dat. Cus I know if they tell any of you that your child would be abnormal, 90% of you will go for the abortion

My Friend, AS is married to another AS, they have 2 beautiful daughters together, full of life.
I don't know what they do.
Note: They knew their genotype statuses before they got married.

DeAdvokate:
Really? Where not channel the fund to other areas of the economy or health to cushion the suffering of the masses.

Did the masses say they are suffering?

Go to Osun State passport office with good money, you may get your passport in 2days if things are still the way they were few years ago.

One thing I like Tinubu for is that he is never moved by the reactions and responses of people.
Who don enter don enter finish.

Opanka44:
Ok. Whoever wins eventually should be supported by all Nigerians so he can perform optimally. And if he fails to perform within the first tenure of four years, we can eject him. This is very simple.

Do you think you have the power to eject anyone?

Saao:
I don't think the number of soldiers is true. Alex Bade was murder last time by civilians. He was the former chief of defence staff, if he has all these number of soldiers, bullet proofs, how come he was just killed so simple? Except if these are new packages

I think everything stated up there is true and valid but it doesn't, totally, eliminate some element of compromise.

The allowances of these aids are paid into the ex service chiefs' account.
So you understand what it means.

In fact these ex Service chiefs have kids and wives who cook for them.

This Reno is not thinking straight.

He knew all this yet he did not school A. Atiku on why it was necessary for him to reconcile with the G5 at all cost.

Maybe Reno doesn't just like some set of people, which is quite inconsequential.

Ezendimmuo:
Good morning guys

I finished my NYSC in February this year..
Since then
I have been job hunting...

I got an unpaid remote backend internship role with a company, with the assurance that they'll pay stipends after some time..

I also got a slot in an oil company...
The role is that of a petroleum surveyor/inspector..
I get to board ships or go to jettys and measure crude oil products on board and stuff like that...
I am still in the training stage though.

The problem is that I can't go into both of them fully simultaneously...
I am really confused about this..

Any advice from the bosses in the house will be appreciated!

If you wouldn't mind telling us the name of the oil coy, some of us can give you a useful counsel because some of those inspection coys have no future.

What does the Fat Asari Dokubo have to say about that statement?

Get Fulcin and treat from the blood, get nixoderm or skineal and apply after a warm bath

Stop spreading wrong information and misleading the public. Subsidy removal is yet to take effect, Jagaban statement is just a notification for future action. The Country is still implementing/working with the 2022 appropriation Bill for extended 6momths to come and there is provision for subsidy there.

The 2023 budget is where there is no provision for subsidy is yet to be implemented unit 6 months' time. Of course, the petroleum marketers are just hoarding the product to create artificial scarcity for their selfish interest, manipulating people ignorance

.........But Mr. president said and I quote "Fuel Subsidy is Over". Are you ignorant of the weight his statements carry?

I don't understand.

Ethnic sentiment refers to the emotional attachment or attitude that an individual or group has towards a particular ethnic group, either positive or negative.
It can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as cultural background, personal experiences, and social and political contexts.
Ethnic sentiment can manifest in various forms, including prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, and racism.
It is important to address and challenge negative ethnic sentiments in order to promote social cohesion and equity for all individuals and groups.

My experience.

I have my cousin who has been with me for some months due to his inability to afford an apartment, yet, in Lagos. So he decided to get one around my area, fortunately for him one of my colleagues is relocating.

She decided to hand the apartment to my cousin, so we were invited for an inspection today.
After the inspection my cousin affirmed he likes the place but the landlord told us that he would get back to us in, at least, 24hrs. Disappointingly, this evening my colleague informed me that the (Yoruba) landlord has insisted that he's not letting the apartment to any Igbo person.

We can see where the country is going.

Who else has had similar experience with an Igbo or Yoruba landlord in Lagos?

IRuinUrDay:
Good morning, Nlder's. Pls, I need your advice. I created this account just now to hide my identity.

Without wasting time on this, I need your advice as I want to take a blind step because i don't know what else to do.

I graduated since 2018 and since then, I don't have a good job till now. Just surviving that's what I am doing.

Currently, I asked my mom to help me secure loan of 100k while I source for another 100k from friends and relatives and repay in 6 months time. I have planned with my wife to secure a room apartment with at least 60k for 1 year and use the balance to hold ourselves till we get something better doing. This is because I want to relocate to Uyo to hustle with my woman and our only daughter. I can't leave my woman aside and travel to Uyo alone. I want her to join me either in 2 weeks time or 3. She is a stylist and can work as Chef. She is also educated with O'level and I have been taken her through computer lesson's.

Now, I don't have any job assurance in Uyo but I have made some contacts. The 2 person's I contacted said once I relocate, I should let them know to help me get job. Also, I don't mind dropping my certificate just to do any job till I get my dream job. I am also working to get myself a driving license certificate and ID in case, I get a driving job in Uyo.

Pls, I want to know if it's wise to relocate to Uyo without any job at sight?

Also, my current state is one of the worst ever as firms here don't pay there staff good money. Like some pay Accountants here 25k/month to work from Monday to Saturday.

Your ideas will be great. My other areas of relocating is Enugu, Port Harcourt, or Anambra. Pls, help a brother.

Uyo is not a bad place to relocate to but remember there are no industries in Uyo. The few jobs that you can get there will end up paying you peanut. Don't be deceived by the cool environment they have there.

However, you may do very well in Uyo if you and/or your wife can drop your certificates to toe the line of business. Food businesses can be great if you can be transiting between Aba and Uyo.
Shalom!

He should have just told them he was just joking and that settles it.

Zeal0000007:
well spoken but with a good pay one can sustain it. If u target 3 to 4 kids when ever she's pregnant u go for it , I feel I can do it, my woman has brought peace of mind to me ever I met her after terrible 7yrs in my previous toxic relationship, I see my new gal as a God sent exactly what any man could look for in a woman. Though the money is not yet there , I'm in early stage of my career no money yet, but I know it will come. I don't want to loose this gal she's a peace of mind, first time I'm feeling loved in a very long while .

My friend and his wife are, AS. They have a non-SS kid together so far, yet he is not earning so much.
If you can afford what the doctor advised you about then go ahead and marry.

Very very very fake. Obviously fake.

God1000:
But why, too much bloodshed in this election.

What is their gain now?

It is the aftermath of the presidential election.
They realized that it has to be a do or die thing and they will be declared afterwards.

NamelessOGBENI:
Not that I was expecting a reformed electioneering process, I'm a Nigerian and I know that whenever we promise more we will always find ways to deliver less when it comes to politics. Our democracy is an eyesore, patriotism is dead.

So, I sit out today election.

Maybe that sole responsibility of the INEC in Nigeria should be opened for bidding by private companies. One may not be totally wrong to say that INEC can not be relied upon even though electronic voting is adopted in Nigeria. YAKUBU has failed Nigeria and he should be investigated.

0m0nnakoda:
You really have no clue what the issues that were argued in court were,what the CBN Act says or the power that the constitution gives the Supreme Court
You don't know you're talking about,not really but you feel you must talk

You would have appeared more responsible and civil if you had just told me what I do not know. Must everything be quarrel on nairaland?

I do not support the Naira redesign policy in its entirety but I must state that what the supreme court did was an affront to the corporate administration of the apex bank.

The apex court should have told us that the apex bank has no power and constitutional right to redesign our note, unless they get backing from the court. I don't know what the law says in this regard.

Why would the court give a validity period of till 31st December without due consultation with CBN? This, by extension, means that the apex court controls the economic policies of the apex bank and its implementation. This is not so right.
