Family › Re: Abandon Your Spouse, Go To Jail For Three Years! by TyroneP(m): 9:29am On Dec 23, 2022

Kobojunkie:
Abandon your Spouse, go to Jail for three years!

In Nigeria, it is not unusual for a man or woman to abandon the immediate family and move on. Indeed, it is becoming a normal occurrence for a spouse especially the man, to abandon his responsibilities in the home and abscond in order to move in with another lover or even to an entirely unknown place to avoid responsibilities. However, for those engaging in this act and those encouraging such, it is time to desist, else a jail term is imminent as the law now frowns on such act and has made it a criminal offence.
No longer will the law accept such as a family issue as the VAPP Act has made it a crime to abandon one’s spouse, children or other dependants under the domestic offences section.

A provision like this is why the Violence Against Persons and (Prohibition) Act (VAPP) 2015 is described as a child of necessity in the fight against violence dominating the domestic and public space in Nigeria.

Section 16 of the VAPP Act makes provisions for cases of abandonment of children, spouse and other dependants without means of sustenance. Section 16 (1) provides that any person who abandons his or her spouse, children and other dependents without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum three years imprisonment or N500,000 fine or both.

Section 16 (2) says anyone who attempts to abandon his children, spouse and other dependants without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum two years imprisonment or N200,000 fine or both. 16 (3) provides that any person who incites or counsels another to abandon his or her spouse, children and other dependents without means of sustenance is liable for punishment with maximum two years imprisonment or N200, 000 fine or both and 16 (4) states that any person who receives or assists another who, to his or her knowledge, committed this offence is considered an accessory after the fact and is liable on conviction to a term of imprisonment with maximum one year imprisonment or N100,000 fine or both.

It is indeed time for dead beat parents to sit up and live up to their responsibilities while neighborhood counselors that give inciting advice must now watch what they encourage else they face the wrath of the law.

This is not just for only men as the term "dependence" can be used for a variety of occurrences. It may imply financial, social, psychological support and more. Children need all of these from both father and mother. Domestic violence could be physical or emotional; both men and women experience it. We have heard of wives abandoning their matrimonial homes for selfish reasons but the trend is more common to men. In furtherance to this, wives should support their husbands and men should live up to expectations as required.

They're lots of men out there with no interest in sports. For instance, I'm not a fan of team sports but I'm more into public affairs. I think the answer to the question on the show is (B) Europe.

Fred166:
Happy Sunday nairalanders.

I can't believe there are still men who don't watch football or know nothing about sports.

I was watching who wants to be a millionaire and this particular question was thrown to this guy.. I couldn't believe the guy didn't know the answer. Baba was totally confused and speechless. He even requested in using one of his lifeline options by calling a friend. Omo! I just dey laugh. And the answer is B. I have to capture the moment.

I can't do without watching sports especially football, boxing and wrestling. There's no question you will throw at me about football or other sport games that I won't give you an accurate answer. I know all football leagues competition round the world even Nigeria premier league I do follow up too.

Football is fun especially when you're arguing, teasing, defending, laughing, throwing banters at each other's club while drinking your cold beer.

Even here on nairaland when there's a live match update, I do visit the thread because I always enjoy the banter fans throw at each other.. It really fun.

Those of you that don't watch football or know nothing about sports.. Please how do you spend your weekends? How do you live your life? Is life not boring for you guys? Please I need to know.

Car Talk › Re: I Finally Bought The Car I Went To Lagos To Buy. Now In PH With The Car by TyroneP(m): 9:18pm On Jul 17, 2022

Same thing happened to me years back when I wanted to buy my Acura MDX. I left my state to meet up with a dealer I met on jiji because the price was so cheap that I had to board a flight within few hours of contacting him... i ended up spending days in Lagos before I finally got it. The bottom line is most prices in the auto section on jiji are not real.

AbelAbdul:
WHAT I DISCOVERED ABOUT ONLINE GOODS.
Most GOODS you see online, their price tags are not the real prices of those goods.

Sellers put lower prices to lure buyers to their shops.

The prices of that TOYOTA Corolla cars I saw on jiji were different when I went to meet the sellers.

They put N3m on jiji while the actual price is N3.8m
Most guys on jiji do not own cars. they are pure agents. They will go to car stands snap pictures and upload online with very low prices.

Romance › Re: She's Is Nice But Gets Vulgar When Angry. What Should I Do? Advise Please by TyroneP(m): 6:07am On Jul 12, 2022*

She might be emotional each time she's hurt too. As long as she's not physically violent, observe her more for a while before you make your decision but if you think her reactions to issues affects you psychologically, love yourself first.

Unequivocal:
Hey Guys,
I'll make this quick.

I met this lady sometime in December and we got dating in march this year. She's really nice, her parents are well to do so she doesn't really bugs me for anything although we go on dates occasionally and gift each other stuffs.

the thing is I have some reservations about everything due to some reasons.

The thing is she just agrees with everything I say. For example, we were discussing about intimacy and she was like anything that makes me Happy is what gets her satisfied.

The major thing giving me concern is when she gets angry she can say a whole lot of really really hurtful things but when she is normal, she apologizes for them saying she doesn't know what came over her.

I have intentions of settling down with her but it somewhat feels too good to be true. I don't know if I'm looking at it from a place of previous hurt but I'm trying to be as logical as possible.

What do you guys think I should do ejoor?

Crime › Kuje Prison Attack: Funny Police Line (Pic) by TyroneP(op): 9:30pm On Jul 09, 2022*

From the picture you could see how poor the assessment of crime scene is in Nigeria where a violent crime was committed.

The police line passing through the vehicles as against barricading people from getting close or touching the evidence.

People were going in and out of the crime scene when initial investigation is yet to commence ranging from political office holders and security agencies thereby contaminating the crime scene.

The biggest difference between Coke and Pepsi are their flavours; Coke has more of a vanilla-raisin flavour, while Pepsi has more of a citrus flavour . Because of this flavour difference, Coke goes down smoother than Pepsi.

dubaino:
The Difference Between Coca-Cola and Pepsi,
,
Whether you’re a casual soda drinker or a soft drink fiend, odds are you have a strong opinion when it comes to the longstanding rivalry of Coca-Cola versus Pepsi. I prefer Pepsi any day.

The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo are two of the largest and most recognizable food and beverage brands in history, each with hundreds of products sold in markets worldwide. From television and print ads, to celebrity endorsements and iconic product placement in feature films, the companies’ influence knows no bounds. But despite their current international dominance, both of these megabrands had humble beginnings.

On submitting the answer sheet, I went back to my sit, brought out my notebook from my school bag to check if the answers I gave were correct.

After checking them, on returning the notebook, the teacher saw me, and he asked me to come out and kneel down (he taught that I was returning my 'intel chip') after which 6 strokes landed on my back with instructions that I must rewrite the test.

Lemme quote him.

Crime › Violation Of Owo Massacre Crime Scene by TyroneP(op): 6:07am On Jun 09, 2022

PERHAPS for the first time ever, suspected terrorists have attacked a place of worship in the Southern part of Nigeria. Since the August 6, 2018 attack on St. Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Anambra State was later linked to an alleged drug war, the manner in which the gun attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo was carried out bore the imprints of earlier jihadist terror attacks on churches in the North.
Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers first detonated Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, and systematically shot at the fleeing worshippers. The death toll was put at 39 dead and undisclosed number injured.
Today in Nigeria, there are many terrorist outfits. These include Boko Haram, Islamic State in West Africa, ISWA; Ansaru and the various groups of herdsmen terrorists killing, kidnapping, rustling cattle and attacking communities to take over their lands throughout the country. The armed herdsmen are largely condoned by the Federal Government.
The first instinctive conclusion many drew was that the Owo church massacre was carried out by aggrieved Fulani herdsmen to get back at the Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for his zero tolerance to open grazing by the herdsmen. Akeredolu, who is also the Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum and an enthusiastic facilitator of the South-West Security Network (Amotekun Corps), has also had a running battle with Fulani groups for insisting that armed herdsmen vacate Ondo forests.
With the foregoing in mind, it is dismaying that the emotion-laden family members and the public were allowed to freely roam around the crime scene which should immediately have been cordoned off by the security agencies.
In other climes, the police or investigative agents are quick to seal off such crime scenes to enable the specialists process them thoroughly and scientifically establish the basis for the accurate identification of the culprits.
The aimless crowding on the crime scene was bound to foul the work of investigators and probably allow the real perpetrators to escape justice.
What manner of training do our law enforcement agencies obtain if they cannot even carry out trite, elementary procedures towards effective law enforcement? Or could it be that these crime scene violations are deliberately allowed to happen to befuddle investigations?
We ask these questions because of the rampant allegations of collusion, condonation and facilitation of crime and terrorism often levelled at some rogue elements of the armed forces, police and security agencies.
It is high time we woke up to frontally tackle all the forces of terror and national destabilisation which have embedded themselves within our polity. Because they target innocent and unsuspecting sections of the public, no one is safe from them. Our law enforcement agencies must commit afresh to professional handling of investigations to effectively prevent and solve crimes.

A mob on Saturday killed a member of a vigilance group for reportedly making a blasphemous statement.
It was gathered that members of the vigilance group guarding the Timber shed market at the Federal Housing Estate in Abuja had wanted to arrest some residents wandering around the market in the early hours of Saturday.
The residents were said to have begged the vigilance group to free them in the name of Allah but one of the vigilantes kicked and made comments said to be blasphemous.
A trader in the market who spoke to our correspondent in confidence said the vigilante was beaten and stoned before he was set ablaze.

Dynamicboss:
Catalytic Converter reduces harmful emission such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide through redox reaction but DOESN'T reduce fuel consumption.

What reduces fuel consumption are; OEM standard for tyre air pressure, apply brake carefully, good 02 sensors, quality oil for engine maintenance, quality fuel, don't idle too long, don't throttle carelessly, When vehicle is on top speed, use AC, don't keep too much loads on your boot, don't drive too slow or too fast(with windows down) Etc...

Lalasticlala, mynd44, give this topic more views for discussion.

You're right...Aerodynamic drag is one of those things that increases fuel consumption. People drive at high speed with windows down forcing the engine to require more power to accelerate.

Crime › Re: Blasphemy: What Is The Position Of The Law? by TyroneP(m): 7:05am On May 16, 2022

Laws are relative in Nigeria. Criminal Law and Penal Code for the south and north respectively. What's the position of the Penal Code on blasphemy?

litigator:
In February 2006, Florence Chukwu, an English teacher in Bauchi State seized the Koran of one of her students that was reading the Koran while the English class was in progress in order to ensure that the student concentrate during class. For this professional conduct, a Muslim Mob was incited against her. During the riot that ensued, Florence Chukwu was murdered as well as 20 other Christians.

On 21st of March, 2007, a Muslim mob murdered one Mrs Christiana Oluwatoyin, a female teacher in Government Secondary School, Gombe. HER CRIME? She touched a bag allegedly containing a Koran, eventhough, she did not know that the bag contained a Koran. However, even without asking her, she was declared by the Muslim mob to have desecrated the Koran. Hence, Mrs Christiana Olwatoyin was murdered in cold blood.

In July 2016, the wife of a Deeper Life pastor told a Muslim man praying right at the front of her shop to move away as he was obstructing her customers. It should be noted that the the pastor's wife had repeatedly told the said Muslim man not to pray at the the front of HER SHOP. However, for some strange reason, he persisted. On this particular day, the lady insisted that he should leave and for this, he accused her of blasphemy, incited a mob against her and murdered her.

There are countless instances where these senseless riots and violence had been incited in Northern Nigeria. Shall I reference the religious riots and killings that took place in the North Nigeria, simply because a white man in one of the Scandinavian countries drew a cartoon of the prophet or shall I talk about the religious riots and the death of more than 200 of fellow Nigerans because of an article written in This Day News Paper when Silver Bird wanted to host Miss World Beauty Pegeant in Abuja.

Eventhough, I strongly condemn derogatory statements and jokes against the prophet as every reasonable person should, may I note that the responses of my Muslim countrymen engaged in this barbaric riots and murders be condemned and opposed especially, when compared with the responses of their Christian countrymen.

For example, on 27th February, 2013, Nasir El-Rufai stated via Twitter thus: "If Jesus criticizes Jonathan's govt, Maku/ Abati/ Okupe will say he (Jesus) slept with Mary Madgalene" yet Christians kept the peace.

During Easter of 2021, the CEO of Serling Bank named Abubakar Suleiman compared Jesus Christ to our local Agege Bread thus: "AGEGE BREAD, HE ROSE". The Christians' response to his comparison was captured in the Punch News Paper thus: "AGREE BREAD ADVERT: YOUR SINS FORGIVEN, CAN TELLS STERLING BANK".

This write-up is for two purposes, firstly, to beseech my Muslim colleagues on this platform, especially those from the North to speak up and condemn these barbaric, inhuman and unlawful killings and riots. Especially, in your religious forums where such are taught and encouraged. For I strongly believe that if these killings are to be stopped, enlightened minds such as you are, must be at the fore front of the discuss. Your Muslim brothers would rather listen to you on this matter than listen to a Christian. We all owe the duty of peace, law and order to our beloved nation Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar (Former VP) condemned the killing via Twitter and facebook, but immediately some youth in Sokoto State declared that they will not vote for him for castigating their action, he deleted the post both on twitter and facebook unless you choose to believe his weak excuse. It should not be said that we turned our back to critical issues such as this for personal gains or politics.

Secondly, if the report that the riotting youth of Sokoto were able to breach the perimeters of the Sultan's palace, who condemned their action and as a result, the Sultan had to flee his palace in the company of security escort because of the violent youth.

I am of the opinion that a sitting Governor or a President maybe chased out of his state by these religious mobs if we do not nip these barbaric actions in the board.

How did we become such a lawless nation?

But then, are Islamic injunctions superior to the provisions of the constitution?

Far from it.

The court has overtime sentenced those court in the acts of death. A very learnt Islamic scholar, now the CJN, had this to say in a decided case.

Family › Re: People Call Me "Old Woman" Because I Love Listening To Radio. by TyroneP(m): 2:04pm On May 11, 2022

Good afternoon and Happy Sunday Nairalanders.

Ladies please oo, apart from me, who else Love listening to radio? Seriously my friends and family do tell me I have an old woman traits just because I love listening to radio and I'm still in my 20s . I listen to radio on my phone with my earpiece, and I also have a rechargeable radio set.

My favorite radio stations are Raypower and wazobia fm. I know most of their radio presenters names, I do call, participate and contribute to any discussions. Some of the presenters recognizes my voice, once I'm lucky and they pick my call (their phone lines are always busy) the presenter would be like cynthia is that you? Next thing they will ring a bell to celebrate me (especially wazobia fm)...we'll all laugh and focus on the discussion.

Anytime I'm less busy I'm always on my radio, If we're going to church and my Dad is driving, I must turn on the radio in his car, he will jokingly say you this old woman reduce the volume of the radio, Infact he confirmed that I love listening to radio more than him. My brother don tire me sef, his room is just opposite my room, he's used to the sound of my radio.

If my friends were to describe me to a stranger, listening to radio would be part of their description. There are some news I would first listen to on radio before I come across it here on nairaland, I will just be smiling. I commend nairaland, they're also trying when it comes to news.

Truth be told. it gives me this joy and happiness that I'm contributing to matters arising and Nigerians are listening to me on air wherever they are.

Seriously, who else is like that? And when did listening to radio became an old person traits ??

It's a good thing you're listening to radio. It makes you more informative and if you do not know, you're educating yourself at the same time too. I listen to radio and watch documentary on Pay TV a lot than I watch movies or listening to music. It really improved me in all ramifications ranging from political, health, science, arts, educational discussions and lots more. Keep it up.

NurseMaryUSA:
With so many scams going on how can an African American female find a serious African man to marry. It doesn't seem like many African men are interested in marrying us.

Op, cultural relativism is one of the major factors affecting the increase of marriage reliating to the classes of people you mentioned- African and African-American. Take for example, norms and values.

Second Wife anyday, anytime

Only women who had been on or experience both sides could relate very well to this. And we should understand that men differ from each other. Personal encounter of women who had experienced or experiencing this goes a long way. Those things should be shared on here to give your response(s) a meaningful thoughts.
