the man's wife threw him out of the house two weeks ago, over the affair.

So I guess he was disoriented, confused and unhappy but will that get him out of trouble? Lets wait and see.

Fhemmmy:
how come we are quick in remembering that he is an american now, when we said that he is a saint compared to a Nigerian.
however, i have a lot of respect for him for coming out plain and asking his wife for forgiveness, no Nigerian leader would do that.
However, i have this against him, he was one of those that called for the head of Clinton during Lewinsky.
But again, he is human and we all make mistakes
who's we? Different people gave their different opinions on this thread. I wasnt the one comparing him to a Nigerian.




philip0906:
u have a point tpiah.but what I'm saying is dat as a Nigerian,I cannot condemn him becos as $osisi put it,
well, its up to the lawmakers what they want to do.

In America, if you're MIA from your place of employment, they fire you for not following proper procedure before going on leave.

I once had a co worker who was fired because she didnt come to work for two days and no one knew where she was.

China probably has enough porn of its own.

American porn will only make the Chinese lust after Americans and undermine the govt.  That's not patriotic.

Drama as alleged ritual murder victim surfaces in court



LAGOS — THERE was a mild drama at the Magistrate Court 19, Ikeja in the Lagos Judicial Division yesterday when Master Muyideen Alayande, son of defendant No 2 in the state vs. Chinuwa-Ogwu & Co who was allegedly murdered for ritual purposes surfaced in court in company of his mother, Alhaja Ashabe Alayande.

Muyideen is the teenage son of Alhaji Alayande (the second defendant) who claimed he was told by his father to come for some home video shots in what has turned out to be a conspiracy to extort money from Mrs. Oyindamola Amuka, wife of the Publisher of Vanguard Newspapers.

The make-belief shots from that event, allegedly taken by Steve Chinuwa-Ogwu, had been generously published by a newspaper as evidence of murder of Muyideen Alayande for ritual purposes.

Although the magistrate declined the prosecutor’s plea to put the boy in the dock “to once and for all clear the false allegation of ritual murder being canvassed in the public space and outside the courtroom by Steve Chinuwa-Ogwu, his lawyer Giwa-Amu and pointblanknews.com” because it affects the res of the case, the prosecutor, nonetheless pleaded passionately with the magistrate to restrain pointblanknews.com and their agents from continued publication of falsehood concerning the on-going trial as that constitute a slap on the face of the court.

The court had on May 25th, 2009 restrained Steve Chinuwa-Ogwu, his counsel Giwa-Amu and their medium pointblanknews.com from inputting extraneous matters while reporting the court proceedings.

The presiding Magistrate in the case involving the state and two persons, Mrs Badejo Okusanya, however told the Police prosecutor, Mr Romanus Inuigbe who brought the presence of the teenager to the attention of the court that presenting him (alleged ritual victim) would translate to conducting trial.

She therefore objected to the plea by the prosecutor to record the presence of the boy in court.

The drama started immediately after the prosecutor called the attention of the court to a publication in pointblanknews.com which the prosecutor claimed distorted the last proceeding in court against an earlier order urging all parties concerned in the case to report only what was said in court.

At the resumed hearing of the case, the prosecutor had told the court that three out of his five witnesses were in court, indicating his readiness to start the trial. He told the court that in spite of the court order earlier made, restraining parties from publishing anything outside the court’s proceedings, Steve Ogwu was still publishing extraneous stories indicating that there was indeed an act of murder committed by the complainants.

He drew the attention of the court to Section 133 (4)(9) of the Criminal Code which gave the court the power to restrain parties to conduct themselves only within the ambit of the court.

According to him, the publication by pointblanknews was meant to dent the image of the court and also prejudice the case pending before the court. He noted that the accused persons were charged for conspiracy, stealing and obtaining money under false pretense, wondering why the online publication, which he said Steve Ogwu was their agent, was alleging murder.

At this juncture, the prosecutor called the attention of the court to reference of the publication over ritual murder and stated to the bewildered court, “even the alleged victim of the so-called ritual murder is here, physically present in court.

With the permission of this honorable court, I will ask the boy to come out to the court.”

He cautioned that if the court allowed further publication of extraneous stories, it would rubbish the case before the court. He urged the court to make a definite order restraining the repeat of such publication.

In his response, counsel to Steve Ogwu, Giwa-Amu denied that his client was responsible for the publications. He also alleged that Vanguard had equally published stories which cast him and his client in bad light.

Also, Mr Okunniyi representing Alayande denied the involvement of his client in the publication in pointblanknews

At this stage, the presiding Magistrate queried whether the prosecutor investigated that indeed the first accused person was behind the publication.

Earlier, Mr. Okuniyi had apologised for the absence of his client in court, stating that he was indisposed and that he had to travel abroad for treatment. Magistrate Okusanya however frowned at the absence of the suspect without informing the court.

Reacting to the controversies over the publications, the Magistrate in her short ruling held that further publications on the case must be limited to the proceedings of the day.

Are there no prostitutes of other nationalities? And like their nigerian counterparts the major reason is POVERTY,sure some are just lazy but a few usually have no other options.[/quote]kindly point out exactly what I edited, or else prove yourself a liar.

I quoted what I posted before and didnt change a single word.

Instead of you to admit your impulsive response to what you thought I typed, you're accusing me of editing my post. What's there to edit?

Not cool of you at all.

and if "some have no other options", then the number of Nigerian women who are prostitutes should be even higher- at least 40 or 70 %. Is that the case here? You really need to look at why prostitution is such an easy option and who are the people enabling this.

Knowing what year he was called to the bar may also help. From the little information available, he probably graduated around the early 1950s or late 1940s, which would make him a contemporary of Richard Akinjide, kayode Eso and other pioneering Nigeria lawyers.

Good luck!

Mankind's endless and timeless quest to conquer NEW poon-tang is a drive so powerful that even a sobbing, remorseful governor would quickly cheer up and whip out his poking iron the minute some fresh pink snapper became available.

Beneath the veneer of stability and contentment in married life, there generally simmers in the husband a cauldron of profound sexual boredom mixed with a burning but repressed desire to handle and nibble on fresh, succulent, bouncy tits, before impaling something tight and slippery that has never been expanded by the passage of a rug rat.

Preposterous explanations will be offered, and rivers of crocodile tears will be shed by cheating husbands caught on the downstroke, but none of that theater can conceal the true natural instincts of married males to track down and mount NEW beaver at every opportunity that presents itself.
cant argue with this, really.

How do you know prostitution is ''more common" in nigeria? Do you have accurate figures?
As if prostitution doesn't thrive in U.S, U.K, Holland,china and so on.
I'm tired of people heaping every vice on nigerians.[/quote]
tpiah:
at some point even the most vocal prostitute supporter like Tudor, must ask himself why prostitution is so common to Nigerians?

Do you see something wrong anywhere? Our value systems perhaps? The demand vs the supply?
let me break it down for you:

Why are there so many Nigerian prostitutes

Why are there so many prostitutes of Nigerian nationality

Why is prostitution seen as an easier and only option for so many Nigerian females?

now reread the rest of my post.

Horus:
According to Genesis 11:5 it clearly states, “And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, . . . The fact that God had to come down “to see” what they were doing in Babel or Sodom, means he does not know everything at all times. Or, this is not the God but rather a God.
can you explain how you'd rewrite that phrase in UFO language?

I believe the writer was a human being speaking a human language and writing for a human audience.

I asked for NINETOFIVE because he is more experienced in this kind of things.

If for anything 1honeybee is even countering your post more than mine.
duuuh.

So far, the only person cursing and ranting here is you. Check your posts?

Anyway, its due to the Love Machine shortage, like I said. Quite understandable.

Family › Re: What Do Kids ( 6 - 14) Like To Read? by tpiah: 7:05pm On Jun 24, 2009
@ topic

6 - 14 are separate age groups and have different interests. You're not supposed to lump them together like that.

6 year olds, for example, may prefer books with vivid illustrations and fewer words. Also, fairy tales, fantastic characters, etc.

A 14 year old will read themes that have to do with peers, the opposite sex, school, and so on.

The guidelines can seem rather vague.
