Let it be on record that Rivers people, boys, girls, women, men including the aged shall in our numbers occupy the streets stark naked in demonstration against the Nigerian Police and those sponsoring violence in Rivers State, no matter how highly placed, Rivers people will resist them.

I like this part🙆. Please, make the date of the protest public so that I'll travel to Port Harcourt and observe something. I want to know how looks like to protest naked[color=#000099][/color]

Just be ready to receive your next Salary from NLC

Dey play, just de play!

He already knew that he lack credibility

I think he led by example by not voting an already failed candidate(his very self)
The electorate followed his example by not voting for him.

The situation from my side is that I am in my house now, with no plans of going to work today.
I take orders from NLC, not Federal Govt that doesn't obey Court Orders. I'm ready to resume wherever the strike is called off by NLC.

YOU THINK YOU HAVE A FAMILY PROBLEM.
OYA, HEAR MY OWN!!!

Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation.
One of them kept complaining about family problems. Finally the other man said, "you think you have family problems? Listen to my situation."
"A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown up daughter and we got married. Later my father married my stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter my stepmother and my father became my stepson.
Also my wife became mother in law of her father in law.
Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother had a son. This boy was my half brother because he was my father's son but he was also the son of my wife's daughter, which made him my wife's grandson. That made me the grandfather of my half brother.
This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half sister of my son, my stepmother is also the grandmother. This makes my father the brother in law of my child, whose step sister is my fathers wife. Thus I am my stepmother's brother in law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I'm my own grandfather.
And you think you have family problems?🙆🙆
LAUGH IF YOU'RE AS CONFUSED AS I AM 🤣🤣

Joe Ajero's administration is gradually coming up with our expectations👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
Since the ruling class wants to spoil Naija, let the working class help them finish it up in a way even them will feel the impact.

Solidarity forever💪

Tribunal throws PDP's petition to dustbins, upholds Otti's election
Good
The Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia has thrown the PDP's petition against the election of Governor Alex Otti into the dustbins for lacking in merit.

The court also confirmed Dr. Alex Otti as the duly elected Governor of Abia State.

The tribunal led by Justice H.T.D. Gwadah which. dismissed the petition brought by Chief Ambrose Okechukwu Ahaiwe and the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the outcome of the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in the State said Governor Otti was duly elected.

Delivering judgement on the matter, Justice Gwadah held that on the issue of whether Dr. Otti was qualified to contest the election, the arguments of the petitioners were pre election matters which the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to entertain.

It also pointed out that the petitioners failed to lead evidence on the allegation of forgery of NYSC certificate leveled against Dr. Otti and could therefore not prove their case, while noting that NYSC was also not a factor for qualifying or disqualifying a candidate.

The tribunal insisted that no witness called by the petitioners spoke on documents tendered to prove their allegation of over voting, which made the documents to be of no value, just as the petitioners failed to prove their claim that the result of Obingwa Local Government Area was taken to Abuja where it was allegedly doctored before being brought back to Abia to be declared.
.
In an interview, Counsel to the petitioners, Mr Chukwuemeka Nwaogu, said they would study the judgement and decide on the next line of action with their client in line with the provisions of the law.

On his own, the Labour Party Chairman in Abia State, Mr. CeeKay Igara described the judgement as a reflection of the will of the people who overwhelmingly voted for Dr. Otti.

Na him want die! The death hungry am well well.

Even the gods are angry🙆

Ahhh, what of all the Ewa, Agbado etc they were promised? 🤷 Abi na like this una want take recruit is into the army?

You've been the one having affair with your neighbor's unfaithful wife, that means you're a cheat. So, you will also be axed with the help of your neighbor's supporters.

So this woman will not wash and spread her pants and other things in her compound because she has a tenant in the compound? What is has this world turned into?
Small thing and all rotten imaginations will skyrocket, you want us to tell you to go trying to embarrass yourself with the widow,what is even wrong as a widow? So she is sex starved? I am not saying that she may not like getting bleeped but it's wrong to think that everything involving pants and underwear are an invitation to Comit fornication as the op wants to do, BTW are we the ones who adviced you to commit the adultries and fornications that you have committed before, had it not being that you begged us not to insult you, I would have told you that this your question deserves insult, now go and purge your mind of this dirt

Little wonder why you had so many carryovers in school. You can't even comprehend. If bleeping her is my desire, I wouldn't have brought it here. I'm only asking how I can handle the situation to avoid hurting the feelings of either of us. Should I call her attention or leave the stuff to drench so that she will understand?
You're here talking about bleeping your Mama!

nawa4naija:
My only advice!!!

If she is a widow as you said because I will never support you nackin person wife

“Be bold and show some romantic gestures
If she starts buying it, you can then tell her your mind

nawa4naija:
You self wey write this thing never tell us your mind

You wan nack her ??

Because it seems that’s the advice you are asking of us

If you advice me to. It's not a bad idea

Please, I don't really understand the reason behind my landlady's action. She spreads her washed underwear outside as she goes out.
Meanwhile, I'm the only tenant in that compound and we've been very cordial. We've not had any issue at all. She is a widow. She has three boys and two among them are in school, while she stays with last one.
The first time this happened, I reluctantly packed her clothes together with the underwears(panties and inner tights), as well as her child's own to my room when it started raining. Since then, she has been doing it repeatedly. The last time I did morning shift, the clothes were drenched. So she jokingly said that it seems I worked morning today, and I said yes. She said no wonder their clothes were drenched, even mine.

Now, my question is; is she not worried that a young man will keep custody of her panties till she comes back from her business? Is she trying to pass a massage? Will it be wrong if I allow rain to beat the panties one day, as a way to tell her how uncomfortable I feel? Should I play along to see what is in her mind?

Please, I need your advice, no insults. I'm really bothered about it.

advanceDNA:
I still dont get how sucking toes became a thing.......we humans dont have boundaries when it comes to sex...

Is he sucking or biting toes? The aggression on that face doesn't depict sucking at all!

So he shouldn't have died because he caught a thief 2 years ago, right?
Or do you not want to link death to the incident of 2 years ago?
Bible says that 'time and unforeseen occurrences befalls all'.

LilMissFavvy:
Must he tempt her? Why not give your wife the car and stop tempting her with a Keke. He knows his wife deserves better, he just wanted to tempt her and disgrace her in public. The unfaithful*faggottt* can't try that with his side chick, he knows his side chick would give him a sound slapp. Nonsense'

Ahhh ah! Side chicks, na so una de do? Upon his own money o!

The first two will sell this country finally and run away.
So, let's go for the 'lesser thief'!

She no de even enjoy an, see her face��

Obviously, she was a very good woman. But why do good people die? The Bible says that 'the Swift does not always have the race. But time and unforeseen occurrences befalls all'.

It is really very hard to bear. My condolences to her family and all affected

Tinubu is a drug addict lord don't vote for him

Haha, is that the cause of his Parkinson? ���

Criticism is an instrument to make a government sit up. But it doesn't work in Abia State and Nigerian governments. They have formed strong resistance to constructive criticism. If you criticize, they come after you just like this one.

This guy's hight worked against him in AFCON. I wish he coordinates well and improve his sharpness in front of goal.

'Corrupted', lawyer !

Ah ah...

Are you truly a jurist?

You make it sound as if you are in a contest with the writer...haba

Her choice of words is very poor. She was just completely out to disrespect and tannish the image of the laborers in the Temple of Justice.

*How much did you do your affidavit?*

*FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT.*

I travelled out of my state of residence to do a transaction on behalf of a client. Things went relatively well until I needed to take out an affidavit in court as one of the final stages of the transaction.

So I walked into this court, a Federal High court, to do the affidavit. I had in mind that a day earlier , someone had told me in my office how she spent #4,000 to do an affidavit in court. I was furious . I know that only #100 of that #4,000 will go to government purse , the rest will go to some thieves who pose as government workers.

So I stepped into this court wishing that the thieves would try to play pranks on me. I file affidavit regularly in court but I have never experienced such extortion. May be it is because the court workers in my town of residence know me to be a lawyer. May be now that I am out of jurisdiction and dressed casually, the ones here will try to play a fast one on me. Just May be.

So In the court, I was directed to a certain lady. It Seems she is always the first contact person in this web of extortion. I entered the room. She asked me to sit. She was attending to someone, a captive I should say . The man was begging that he did not come with 4k, but the lady would have none of that. She asked the guy to go and come back complete. I was eavesdropping. The guy had just lost his certificate and wanted to make an affidavit to that effect. This is what is supposed to cost him N100. The guy even begged to pay N1000. But she refused. She insisted on the "full price".. In the end, the guy left to use Atm and come back. I was next in line!

I hold the belief that even if one should extort me, it should not be in court. The very thought of being extorted by a non- Lawyer in court is annoying to me. It is like a civilian slapping a Soldier in the barracks! If you must slap a soldier, must you do it in the barracks ?

So I took my turn in front of her. 'What do you want to do, sir? She asked.' Affidavit, of course, I replied. She asked what type of affidavit , bringing out a plain sheet of paper and pen, with an air of fake seriousness. She said she needed to know the type of affidavit because they will help me to type it.

At that point, I brought out a copy of the affidavit as typed by my secretary a day before I traveled. I told her that all I needed was to make the oath before a Commissioner for that purpose. Seems she was taken aback. Seems see didn't expect me to come with my affidavit already written and typed out. She excused me and left with the document. I guess she went to consult with her superiors.

She did not stay too long.

'Sir, are you a Barrister'?
'Yes, does it matter'?
'I mean a real Barrister '?
Silence.
' sir are you based here in town '?
Silence.
' Sir'?

I think she wondered if I was really a lawyer as they have not seen me in their court before . May be her superior had suggested that I just claimed to be a lawyer in the affidavit just to evade their extortion.

I told her to go straight to the point. That I still needed to travel back. I told her to show me where to pay and get the oath Commissioner's stamp. At that point, she cut a piece of paper and wrote on it. She signed a complicated signature. She made the stealing to seem official. Unlike how she handled the guy before me, she didn't say a word about the amount I was to pay. She could not speak to me about it . She wrote it down and signed and then showed me where to take it to.

So I took it to whom I was directed. The man took the piece of paper from me and studied it as if it was a graph or some complicated map . Then,as if he had suddenly deciphered a hidden code, he said out loud : 'two thousand'. I paid the two thousand Naira and waited. The man stamped on the document and wrote on it with red ink. I noticed that he did not write the amount received by the Court on behalf of government, as is the custom. He directed me back to the lady who sent me to him . He said she is the one to take me to the Commissioner for oaths .

I was irritated by the unnecessary back and forth, but I was determined to see the end of it .

After the Commissioner had put his stamp on the affidavit, I went straight back to the guy who took 2k from me and demanded a receipt. He looked lost when he saw me again.

He said they don't give receipts. I said its not possible for the federal government of Nigeria to take #2000 from me and not give any evidence of payment. He then said their receipt has finished. I told him to use his red pen and write 2000 on the affidavit. He Shrunk his shoulders, as if to say 'God forbid'.

I told him, Point blank, that he has trouble on his hands. That he should not think that I will leave without evidence of payment. That if he can not handle it he should bring in his superior. I threatened to go to the court Registrar if he continues to waste my time. It Seems the mention of the Registrar was frightening to him. He said to me 'please sit down' and stepped out, running.

He returned with a woman I presume is his unit head, a woman in her late forties by my estimation. She asked what was the problem. I told her there was no problem. That I am surprised the guy brought her. That all I want is receipt or some evidence of payment.

She said that their receipt has finished. She brought out a big book and said they enter all the payment entries made by everyone and at the end of the day, they issue one receipt!

Hear lie. One receipt to whom? She did not even seem like an intelligent thief to me. Seeing that her explanation meant nothing to me, she collected the affidavit from me and looked. The next thing I heard was :

'who typed it? Who asked you to type it?'
She said they will give me my money back and take 'their affidavit'. That I should go elsewhere and make the oath.

At this point, I lost my patience and temper. It became clear to me that I was dealing with an ignorant crook. Who told her that she had the power to stop me from doing the affidavit? Who told her that private affidavits must be typed by the Court. I mean she made it so clear with her actions that she is fantastically corrupt.

I stepped out of their office and headed to the Registrar's office. They started pleading. The guy who took the money started running helter skelter.

He took me to the office of another oga. The oga was polite. Cool office. He took the affidavit document from me and read. He screamed : 'did they not even read this thing to see that this man is a lawyer'? He stormed out and left me alone in the office.

It became clear to me that the oga was not necessarily angry at what they did. He was angry that they did it to a lawyer. He felt they were daft to do so to a lawyer. They should have done it only to other members of the public. They should have known that a lawyer is "bad market".

The oga returned with the woman and asked her to apologise for saying I should get my #2000 and go elsewhere to do the oath. She did. And I accepted the apology.

The oga thought that was all. He looked happy, as if everything has been settled. As if he had just resolved a conflict between Iraq and Kuwait. I brought him back to reality by saying that I am still waiting for receipt. You can't extort me and apologise and bid me farewell, without a refund.

At that point, he asked the lady to excuse us. As soon as the room had only Me and him, he removed the masquerade. He said :"BUT BARRISTER, YOU AND I KNOW THAT THIS THING IS HUNDRED NAIRA. How do we give receipt for 2 thousand "?

I did not bulge. I told him that it was either he gave me the receipt for 2k or I go to the court registrar.

At that point, he went out quietly without a word. I did not know if he went to get the receipt or my money. I looked through the window and saw him outside calling the staff to gather my money. It was then I knew that the loot had already been shared (it was close of work and I was the last customer). They had to send someone to call one of the staff at the gate to bring his part before entering a taxi home.

The oga soon returned to the office with my #2000 and asked for hundred Naira. I gave him #100. They wrote #100 on the affidavit with red ink and gave a receipt reflecting #100. The same receipt they said they didn't have.

I walked out of the court feeling sorry for the country. I mean this is a court of law! A place you would expect to see the strictest adherence to probity. Yet people openly engage in extortion. Government charges #100 for something, but corrupt government workers make it #4000 (I believe I was charged #2000 cos I had mine typed already).

People no longer do subtle corruption in this country. Corruption is the norm. They make you look stupid if you don't join in. Every sector is involved, not just the political class. The civil service stinks.

And someone wants me to believe that Nigeria is not fantastically corrupt. Please keep sharing until it gets to the right people. Nigeria must be saved.

May God save my country Nigeria....!!!

In a system where practically everyone is corrupt, what do you do? What's the fate of the ordinary non-lawyer Nigerian?

Op, if indeed you are a lawyer, you've just lost my respect for using such derogatory names on the laborers in the Temple of Justice. We have Assistant Chief Registrars, Court Administrator, Principal Registrars, Senior Registrars, Higher Registrars, Registrars, Senior Clerical Officers, Clerical Officers, and so on. You don't even know the right term for that thing they write on the affidavit with red pen. It is called 'assessment'. I'm not supporting corrupting though, but for coming out here to call out judicial staff with such derogatory terms, brother you're yet to be called to bar. You are just a law student. That's why you came to flex your tiny legal muscle over 2000. You only met those who don't know the job Sha. If you meet my kind of person, I will just give you a bank teller and send you to the bank to pay in that your one hundred naira into Government Revenue Account and bring back the copy before I assess your affidavit since your intelligence did not tell you that someone will pay transport to pay in that money. You no see those corrupt politicians wey de chop the country dry go flex muscle with them, na affidavit you de do gra gra. By the way, which state still de collect 100 for oath fee? In my state, we have approved, customized letter headed paper for affidavit. Then government-approved seal and oath fee of 500 naira. Abeg, go and sit down!
