I didn’t say they are on the same tier or did I? It’s clearly stated that they can sell their own sims and of course that comes with products and services

Bad summary. They are not on the same tier.

Technically it isn’t. Neither is consensual sex. Addiction to either however is never profitable.

Masturbation is not a vice, it is your body and you are not offending or begging anyone
RomanceRe: Masturbation Is Better Than Being A Sex Addict by Timoleon(m): 11:58am On Jun 14, 2023
Masturbation is not an alternative to being a sex addict. Both are different vices. Different addictions. Avoid both by all means.

In a simple language can this be explained
Just as mtn, airtel, glo and 9mobile operate communication networks in Nigeria, BTEL is joining the list. You will be able to own and use BTEL sims and access products and services that you would use on SIM cards.

MahatmaGhandi:
I remember the day I was in physical pain and was rushed to the hospital, my doctor administratered it to me. It was so good, I swore never to go near it again. It calmed my nerves and for lack of a better word I would say it shifted my reality, I lost control of my body, my wife and brother had to hold me on both sides to take me home. When I slept , it was arguably the best sleep I ever had, immediately I woke up I made the decision that I will never to go near it on my own. Anything that can make you feel the way pentazocine can make you feel will eventually become and addiction.
I pray for the OP that God will see you through.
Tried smoking cigarettes when I was 17 (benson and hedges) it was so soothing I told myself that I have to hate it at once. That’s how addictions start. Till date, I hate smoking.
FamilyRe: When Did You Know You Were Loved At Home? by Timoleon(m): 6:03pm On Jun 08, 2023
Why was your mum sharing tears?
ify2016:
When I was diagnosed for appendicitis and admitted for operation.

My Dad and mum took their annual leave just to be with me in the hospital despite the fact that am the 3rd son. This happened when it's only 2 weeks to my NYSC camp.

My mum shared tears when I finally woke after being lifeless for 24hrs due to injection I received before the commencement of the operation. They thought I won't come back again. It's touching when Mum was telling me.
May God Almighty keep them alive for me. Amen.


May God bless all the parents dead and alive around the world.

Near fatal maybe.
kemese:
I had an fatal accident many years back and i was admitted to FMC. My parents never kept me lonely. They switch time. My dad would leave his work to come stay with me same with mama.
They both slept on the floor (a small space) beside me every night till I was due.

SportsRe: Roma Fans Attacked Referee, Antony Taylor And His Family At The Airport (Videos) by Timoleon(m): 12:38pm On Jun 02, 2023
90% of those who claim it’s not a penalty are speaking from a place of hate.
lhordspy:
It is funny how you chose to ditch the main issue in contention, but resorts to attacking Mourinho's tactics. Over four paragraphs, yet no mention of whether the penalty the REF. failed to award is just or unjustly.

From your defensive-writeup, i can sense it is driven from a point of personal hate for jose Mourinho. This is not the first time mourinho has been deploying the 'park the bus' tactics. It has been his trademark. So why attacking him for his team abysmal performance instead of debating on either they deserve a penalty or not. Which is very clear, it was a penalty.

Most of you guys see things from an emotional perspective.

Does that negate my statement in anyway?

In many cases, there are no weapons involved.

In many other cases, are no weapons involved.

Neither negates the other.

CrimeRe: Kano: Security Council Declares Phone Snatching As Armed Robbery by Timoleon(m): 7:38pm On May 28, 2023
Operate side by side means that in Nigeria as an entity, the sharia law is functional without invalidating the common law and vice versa. As for the other question, Individuals, have the right to choose how to be tried (especially if they are not of Islamic religion). This may not always be the case in real life situations but that’s what it’s supposed to be.

Below is a Wikipedia page on sharia in Nigeria. Hopefully it answers some of your curiosity.

What does operate side by side mean??
Can a state punish an offender with two laws at the same time??.. which one will come into play when an offender is caught cos Kano is not a core northern state....

Point where I said ‘all phone snatchers’ please.
I’ll reiterate though. In many cases, there are no weapons involved.
Paretomaster1:
E be like say u r from the moon...

Most phone snatchers do so with weapons in their hands.

The Kano situation is pure armed robbery, they attack with dagger, if u hold on to the phone they stab u severally, many have been killed because of phone, Some won't even ask u for the phone, they just stab u first, and request for the phone or take it.

Are u saying they no longer uphold the democratic laws and state police have turn to shariah police
The sharia law is a recognized branch of the Nigerian legal system. It operates side by side with the common law. While more secular states retain the common law. The core northern states (Islamic) adopted sharia law.
CrimeRe: Kano: Security Council Declares Phone Snatching As Armed Robbery by Timoleon(m): 6:49pm On May 28, 2023
They practice sharia in the north. Robbery f any kind is considered to be a really serious crime under sharia.

CrimeRe: Kano: Security Council Declares Phone Snatching As Armed Robbery by Timoleon(m): 6:05pm On May 28, 2023
I don’t believe they are actually going to term it as armed robbery. But they intend for it to carry the same consequences.
king1250:
It can only be armed robbery only if arms and ammunitions are involved.
It's a simple English.
Not only phone, including motorcycle, keke, cars etc. Anything at all that involves arms is armed robbery but if no arms were used then it is robbery.
Qed.
CrimeRe: Kano: Security Council Declares Phone Snatching As Armed Robbery by Timoleon(m): 6:01pm On May 28, 2023
Armed robbery is technically different from stealing (petty theft). It usually carries hefty penalties. It involves stealing with the use of weapons capable of causing bodily harm or even death. Phone snatching in many cases does not involve use of weapons, in many of those cases, it involves a snatch and run. But the menace is much which is why I believe they chose to make the punishment serious.
DesChyko:
Strange.

Did they specially need to declare it as Armed Robbery before? In what category was it before??

PoliticsRe: Fact Check: Did Obi Request 7 Weeks From Tribunal To Produce Witnesses? by Timoleon(m): 10:34am On May 22, 2023
MrBiGGEST:
In essence it will still take " seven weeks " for him to be through with the witnesses
It baffles me at the level of ignorance on this Nairaland. Fanatism and bigotry too much abeg. This article clearly did not debunk anything but most people here are blind to the fact. Whatever evidence the witnesses are bringing are part and parcel of Obi’s defense. If they require 7 weeks to get their evidence together, it means obi requires 7 weeks to put his witnesses together. After all, he’s not going to present witnesses that have no evidence to present to court. Na why I no Dey comment for Nairaland again. The ignorance here too loud.
