TravelRe: Nine Die As Vehicle Plunges Into Dam In Kano (Photos) by TheAdvocate(m): 2:16pm On Nov 21, 2022
gasparpisciotta:
Were they on an excursion?

Unregistered vehicle conveying passengers?

How did they drive so close to the dam to the extent of plunging into it?

Could it have been a case of a kidnapping gone wrong?

NPF doesn’t have what it takes to unravel this except by issuing statements.

RIP to the dead
The dam is by the roadside. You use a bridge over the dam to pass through. I know because I serve my NYSC in Gwarzo in 2006.

FamilyRe: Married, But Living As Single by TheAdvocate(m): 8:53pm On Nov 11, 2022
pikomamamusicwo:
Good pm niranlanders, how una dey?

I married very early, that Is five years ago, immediately i started working. Immediately we gave Birth to our first child, I was sacked from my place of work in a mysterious way. All our house equipment was sold, we left a comfortable apartment to a single room.

At a time, I was doing menial jobs just for us to feed. One day, in the process of seeking for solution to get my job back, I got to a church, and the pastor asked me to come with my wife, which I did, to my surprise, the pastor asked my wife, why are you afraid for your husband to have money? You are thinking if he makes money he will marry other women, he said pls pray for your husband to succeed, he is bigger than this.

And he asked my wife to come back for deliverance, but she refused.

Secondily, I went to another place, a spirituallist, and a female, she said I married wrongly, that the girl I was supposed to marry I missed it. She said I should come with my wife, and I did, she said my wife has another spirit, that she feels the marriage will not last...but till today, nothing I put hand dey work, most times we live together but never discuss together, we just live like strangers at home, and most time I regret getting married. I don't really know what to do now, I can't support my parents like before, they are not happy with me...

pls I need advice, prayers and support.

Christianity EtcRe: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by TheAdvocate(m): 12:50pm On Sep 11, 2022
Ken4Christ:
I witnessed a ceremony where one of my Pastor friend was ordained a Bishop. And the head of the school of Bishop was addressed as Lord.

I was shocked and till date, the tradition is still the same.

We have only one Lord who is Jesus.

Why address your fellow human in the house of God as Lord?

Judges of higher courts are referred to as "my lords".

Even the Apostles in the Bible days were never addressed as Lord

What is your take?

The order is in the interim and that's why DSTV has an opportunity to react to the one on notice. The aim is to maintain status quo.

PropertiesRe: Should I Sign This Tenancy Agreement? by TheAdvocate(m): 3:19pm On May 12, 2021
Whether you sign it or not, 90% of the terms therein are implied by law. My only worry is that paragraph where the landlord can determine your tenancy by giving you 3 months' notice. The law provides for 6 months notice on the part of the landlord. Don't agree for less.

CareerRe: Abuja Magistrate Orders Lawyer Handcuffed, Jailed For Challenging Him by TheAdvocate(m): 9:14pm On Mar 23, 2021
Omihanifa:
This is clearly an Abuse of power, why can't the magistrate simply report him to NJC so that the lawyer can be sanctioned instead of sending him to suleja prisons undecided

the story is looking as if the magistrate used the available opportunity to take his own pound of flesh for an old beef undecided
It's not an abuse of powers sir. Only judges of superior courts are subject to discipline by the NJC even the magistrate is not subject to NJC discipline but subject to his state Judicial Service Commission which in this case, is the FCT.

Any judge from Area Court to Supreme Court can sanctioned anybody for contempt. Contempt can be in facie curia (in the face of court) or ex facie curia (which is contempt done outside the court). The judge can summarily try anyone for contempt and sentence the person to prisons.

A lawyer who is not a judicial officer is on the other hand subject to discipline by the NBA.

While I am of the believe that the lawyer acted in contempt but interrupting the court, I also believe that the judge acted too hard on the lawyer in view of plea from other lawyers in court. Once a judge is delivering a ruling and it doesn't seem to be going your way as a lawyer, you hold your peace and appeal it after the ruling. In my decade and half of practice, I have never seen a lawyer cited for contempt in any court. I only read of it in papers.
CareerRe: Why Do Judges Destroy Their Pen After Pronouncing A Death Sentence?? by TheAdvocate(m): 6:58pm On Jan 24, 2021
This year, I will be 16 years post call as a lawyer and I have never seen this.

The truth is that a judge will deliver judgment in one case give the accused the maximum punishment of death sentence and then proceed to hear other cases listed on the cause list for the day using the same pen.
AutosRe: The "Craze" For Benz Is Gradually Fading, Lexus Is Taking Over by TheAdvocate(m): 8:16pm On Jan 09, 2021
These are my 3 benz cars. My first benz is the maroon color 190 which I bought for N300,000. I used it for 8 years and sold it at N50,000 profit. I bought the silver C-class and used it for 5 years and sold with a N400,000 profit. The E-class is just about 7 months old now and someone offered me a N500,000 gain but I decline.

Let me tell you the honest truth. If you stay in Yola (I don't but it's my home state and I visit regularly) you will know that Lexus literally doesn't exist. In Jos where I reside, the only Lexus you see are the few SUV. Lexus don't have good saloon cars that an average Nigerian can afford.

The cost of used Nigerian Mercedes benz cars build in 1999 still runs into millions.

That's actually not true. Any aggrieved Nigerian can file a direct criminal suit. It's only a charge at the High Court that needs fiat of the AG.
