The prof didn't mind yet the tonye was using panadol on top another person's headache

If you read between the lines of his response... you will understand why Tonye made a mole out of that.

It’s obvious he is trying to do damage control - but you can still sense pride and a feeling of IDC in his comments. Especially when he mentioned he wasn’t taught about Soyinka and only had to go check him up - as if it would have made a difference if he knew about him. The only valid point he made was his autism and window views.

YOU DONT NEED TO KNOW SOMEONE’s reputation before you accord them the respect due, old age apart.

Anyway - problem tie ni yen. And, even our Lord Jesus was disrespected - so problem gbogbo won niyen.

Writ of Fifa

Search modes

A fieri facias, usually abbreviated fi. fa. (Latin for that you cause to be made) is a writ of execution after judgment obtained in a legal action for debt or damages for the sheriff to levy on goods of the judgment debtor. The term is used in English law for such a writ issued in the High Court.

Fieri facias - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki › Fieri_...

Writ of Fifa Is not that technical.

If you have a money judgment... like Innoson has... and the person has refused to pay.... you can apply for that Writ to seize the person’s moveable properties like cars, buses, computers etc. in order to satisfy the judgement debt. If the moveable properties are not sufficient to satisfy the whole debt... you can appply for a writ of execution to attach Immoveable properties like house/land/machineries in order to satisfy the remaining part of the debt.

asuustrike1:
Here you go again! In business or in a public setting you don't bring your cultural norm to play. If it were to be so there would have been anarchy and chaos. I have seen an old man politely begging a young man to excuse him? would you say the old man degrade himself or he applied wisdom ?. You stick to your culture when you meet your own not forcing on the throat of other people. Wouldn't the accused had left the seat if it was a white man? Same Prof would respect himself if he in USA but would come here an claim right all in the name of culture.

Culture is part of all we do; not less when Nigerians are the parties in the circumstance. You can argue all you want about it - you are simply sympathetic to the modern Nigeria, which is fine.

But you are deep wrong. I have had white lecturers and Nigerian lecturers. We can call the whites by name for all we care - but we dare not call our Nigerian lecturers by name - even though we are in the UK. The reason is because they grew up in Nigeria like ourselves. For the blacks who grew up abroad they care less about respect. It’s possible you have had different experiences - Buh I work with my Nigerian bosses in the UK and trust me / there is a chain of Nigerian responsibility in our office. All our Nigerian bosses are Mr/Mrs but I can call my Indian boss Navpreet even though she is way older.

I guess I am just trying to say respect is personal thing. I care less what tribe he belongs - he owes a duty to respect elders.

There is really no point going on about this though. It’s just fine to hold your opinion.

asuustrike1:
What that Mr Cole post was wrong. You don't use religion, tribe or culture to score cheap blackmail. This is what our politicians have been using that is why they get away with things. Respect is earned not assumed as you implied. You should have asked if any other person in that plane gave the same space the young man fought for instead of using culture as a cheap tool to score point.

Exactly what I am saying. Education and western ideals is the problem here. The whole point was that He asked the man to stand up from his seat. It doesn’t matter that anyone else offered him - He asked Wole Soyinka to stand up from his seat.

Again, Two things are at play. Elder & Reputation. If respect in this sense is not assumed I don’t know what else is. That’s culture - it’s got nothing to do with entitlement or civil rights! If he is Yoruba - Omo ale jati jati Niru won. He should go and ask his father to stand up from the seat because he paid for it.

The fact that everyone on the front page seems to think the guy is right - shows that something is fundamentally wrong with this generation.

In Yoruba land. There is no such thing as Rights when an Elder is involved; Unless it works injustice. But it doesn’t worth a thing to allow the old man after pleas from people in the flight. Give honour to whole honour is due. If not for old age - but for his reputation. Everything goes round in this world.

I think he is just a proud person.

He talks a lot though.

I hope he doesn’t end up shooting himself on the foot. Actions speaks louder than voice

baysol:
Stop quoting senselessly. Are corrupt and compromised Nigerian politicians the Kings the Bible is talking about? Is the Bible talking about a thief like saraki? He is not ua Christian but an infidel at that. Use your medulla when quoting the living word of God.

Saint. Weldone. and from your comments, it’s obvious you are not a Christian. A Christian’s conversation is seasoned with Grace.

And since you are so righteous: please cast the first stone.

The man didn’t age ...

And he has always had a look of a responsible and educated man.

Something we budding youths should learn from.

#seest thou a man diligent in his ways, he shall stand before kings and not mean men.

VisioDirect:
The first rail station was opened in Nigeria in 1898 by the British for transportation of people and large goods, fast forward to 120 years later, we are unable to boost of the same transpotatiom system that has been in existance for more than 200 years for the same purpose, I believe there is a fundamental issue with the black race.

Well said brother.

franchasng:
Let's say the truth, black race as a whole are naturally dirty and selfish! Their cleanliness ends with their personal homes and cars, public properties is for messing up, that is how black people are.

Black African nations will never be developed unless white people comes back and take over

Truth!

There is something inherently wrong with the black race.

Rip Sir.

May God provide a space for you in His Kingdom.

You gave us some wonderful moments

obailala:
Healthy opposition we need; but remember, not every opposition is healthy.

The opposition of Saraki and co who kept delaying budget passage till Q3 over disagreements arising from their insistence on inserting flimsy constituency projects, I doubt if that could really be termed 'healthy opposition'.

Yes - there is nothing wrong with that. And by all means that is how it’s meant to be. The UK has been on Brexit negotiations for 2 years now - largely because of the opposition; and it’s because the parliament believes that deal does not favour its citizens.

I am not saying the UK is perfect- I am only saying that a functional government is not propelled by Godfatherism and loyalty between the law makers and executives who are supposed to check on each other.

The problem with this current structure is the loyalty.

All the Legislatures came in to power because the Executive president stepped in to ensure they did. Gojes EFCC case was taken over so he could step down for Lawan. Same with Omo-Agege. APC also run th leadership of the lower house - all loyal to Buhari and Tinubu.

I don’t imagine they will oppose anything brought before them. Let’s see how it goes.

Oshigun:
Yorubas are proud of him too. Loyal to PMB 120%. That is what Nigeria needs. A political climate consisting of people who will assist each other to move us forward. Never again Saraki and Dogara madness.

That’s not good for Democracy.

The reason the Uk and the US are so developed is because they have a healthy opposition at the helms of affair. Otherwise one party would have sold all of them out without any scrutiny.

Why do you think Brexit has taken this long and Theresa May had to resign?

I pity Nigerians. They have just started selling the country.

OrangeDream:
Wow, thanks for educating me.

You are welcome brother

OrangeDream:
So, the Senate makes the bill, the reps approves?. Is that is please?.

Not really.

The thing is... there are three types of Bills

1. Member Bills - so here anyone that is a member of the HoR or Senate can introduce a Bill in their respective houses.

2. Executive Bills - these are Bills that originate from the executive arm of the govt - e.g a minister or even the president.

3. Private Bills - these are Bills introduced by any other person; like you and I.

However, A bill can be initiated by anybody but only a Member of the House or a Senator can introduce it on the floor of the House or the Senate. So no matter it’s origin - it can only be sponsored in the NA by a Member.

And all bills must be approved by both houses before it goes to the President for Assent.

Hope that helps

bluefilm:
Please excuse my ignorance.

But what exactly is the functions of the lower house of assembly?

No harm Bro...

All bills usually first passes through them. If it fails in the lower house - that’s its demise! Every bills must be approved by them, as well as the senate

slimfit1:
It would have been better to make laws that protects us all. This is just to buy our mind his conscience is dirty and crafty. So many laws that he could have made that would have helped this country. He can fool some people but not me.

He that is without a sin should cast the first stone.

I put it to you... that if you had the privilege to sit in the positions he was privileged to sit... You will also embezzle public funds. Yes you would, and even your family will disown you if you don’t!

BTW: how many politicians did this? Or can do this? Not even the President with all his ‘holier than thou’ mantra - has ever donated any part of his Salary Openly for any cause in Nigeria.

Regardless of what he did to the Kwara people (which, tbh I am not aware of) the 8th National Assembly was the most innovative, functional and productive NA we have ever had... under his, and Dogara’s leadership. Go back to David Mark’s and Anyim Pius Anyim days.... nothing concrete to show for....

I think you should cut the Man some slack... Saraki did well for Nigeria during his tenure as Senate President. No one is perfect

Yewandequeen:
I didn't blame anyone and I so understand the gaining feet part. Both parties have their own share on this.

Glad you agree

Yewandequeen:
The truth is there are few responsible men out there.
As at last might 2of my female neighbors and I actually discussed this.
Not that there are no men out there but there are less of those responsible ones, who will be committed and settle for one woman. Many still wanna play around till they are 34/35yrs before they think of settling down.
As I always say there are less responsible partners out there, if you have anyone that loves you so much, stay and brush the person to what you what. Stop all these yanga and time wasting thing.

I know she will have friends that loves her but cos they are not really her spec she won't look in their direction. As my dad always says, when a man/woman has 75% qualities of your desire help him make up the 25%.
Stop looking for 100% made cos no one is!

Very apt, but largely bias.

May be you fail to recognise how difficult it is for men who haven’t found their feet to think about settling down.

And that’s not their doing... ladies make it look like they will only settle with someone who has Made the money - ‘to take care of them’.

The circle of irresponsibility thus continues! - it’s really no one’s faults.

Lovelyn451:
wicked people everywhere...rip

So much blood in the land. All in the name of Money.

Paperwhite:
Shithole country with shithole leaders treating its citizens as shithole even outside the shores of Nigeria.

Very pathetic bro.

It’s all funny how Nigerian institutions treat you like they are doing you a favour. From the police force to the universities, armed forces to bus drivers, hospitals to Nepa officials...

Lecturers are Demi-gods, embassy officials, customs, nurses and even conductors will frustrate you.

It is disturbing that these folks fail to see that they are rendering a Service. But we will only rant online - we end up doing nothing about it.

How unfortunate.

Focusmind:
Nigerians will keep running to UK universities thinking that it will guarantee them job only to be disappointed after spending millions of Naira.

UK universities are somehow a scam to me. No benefit, once you are done, they ask you to leave yet thousands of Nigeria's wealthy will be falling over themselves to go and study for nothing, just to be abroad.

It is those that sell all their properties or use all their savings that I pity most. I respect the Chinese lady for this act of bravely.

That’s not true.

You don’t criticise what you know nothing about. The problem is not with the schools or degrees. It’s with the shallow thinking that a visa to study in the UK is a passport to get a job and settle down.

Even in Nigeria - there are no jobs. Let alone another man’s country. Time and chance happeneth to all things: that’s what the bible says.

phorget:
Chairman, Council of Legal Education. So definitely there must be an Illegal Education somewhere.
Appointment that has no direct effect on our educational system. rubbish.

That’s wrong.

That body is responsible for the tutelage of All Lawyers in Nigeria.

The Bar finals is such a big deal for law students - you should ask around if you have friends studying law.

It has a direct effect on your life - lawyers mostly go on to become your law makers, governors, VPs, solicitors - if you are privileged to buy a house, or a car or sign a contract, they would make this happen for you. They are also your advocate when you are involved in any legal tussle.

I think it’s in your best interest they receive the right tutelage.

rheether:
Blacks won't even dare this rubbish.

Home grown blacks. The ones bred in the diaspora think differently from us.

lexy2014:
What directive was given earlier& who disobeyed it? When buhari came to Lagos in February 4 campaign, apapa gridlock was cleared. After buhari left, d gridlock reappeared. Who is deceiving who?

This has got to do with the status quo generally in Nigeria.

And even with regards to Apapa, There are lots of politics involved with that port. Plus the port is overburdened... when the Badagry port is completed things may get better. I think this government is trying.

If The foundation is destroyed... what can the righteous do?

Baba419:
Twitter order,


Next is for the the Lagos government to retweet it and it will be done

Spits

I think we should be optimistic for once.

When they don’t make efforts, you complain.

When they do, you show disdain.

What else would you have them do- other than give directives.

What you don’t know is that Nigeria is this way because Nigerians don’t obey simple directives. You can tell by driving on Nigerian roads

Davash222:
I wanted to say Afonja, then I remember, Kwara is a Fulani State.

You are misguided.

If you had been taught Yoruba history in your secondary school - you would have known that Afonja originally is from Kwara state!

So, yourself, and other misguided Nairalanders, calling Yorubas Afonjas... should be properly guided...

Yorubas are not Afonjas. Yorubas are better called Omo Oduduwa.

These charges hold no water.A hungry lawyer will win this case

I am sure you don’t understand that charges are made based on evidence before the prosecution. May be you should get the hungry lawyer for him.

orion7:
evrutin na intent to defraud. efcc is just wasting our time. a useless lawyer that even failed in law school will spring this azzez boy out in no time




I thought they had shit on him

I don’t think you know the slightest about criminal prosecution.

Hedonini:
I tell you. Very watery charges. And to think they had to duplicate what should have been a one count charge to seven counts, just to 'form competence', is just a joke.

So after all the media noise, this is the only thing they can come up with. We have a long way to go.

Wrong!

TheShopKeeper:
...if these are the alleged charges by EFCC...they are very weak...no wonder our politicians always win their cases in the law court...

stagger:
How can they hope to get a conviction with all these "intent" charges? How can you prove intent in court?

Nothing concrete on this charge sheet.

Please tell them

XaintJoel20:
I guess you don't know what is means to conspire in law.
You can be punished for an offence you haven't committed, but have mindset to commit.

STRENGTHesq:
conspiracy is a different charge which usually is the first count in a criminal charge when the alleged criminal offense is committed by two or more individuals

I wish the others could be educated by your comments.

Freehuman:
Nigerian will watch the Suits series without any legal background and begin shouting "a good lawyer will get him out".

Well, in a criminal trial the prosecution needs to prove men's rea and actus reus. Men's rea means criminal intent and actus reus means the act.

Ironically, the criminal intent is more important than the act in prosecution because a "child" and "lunatic" who commit the most gruesome crime would not be convicted because of the assumption of the law that they lack criminal intent.

Furthermore, in law intent can be implied through repeated acts that show intention to commit the crime. From the charge sheet, he has received more than 8 bank cards. If you receive one, an emotional person may call it a mistake, you receive 2, we can argue that it is an accident but receiving up to 8 credit cards when you are not a bank itself is enough to prove mens rea.

Also, the way the card details were received can prove mens rea. The legal questions would be were they received in good faith or fraudulently? I doubt they were received in good faith and that is enough to nail the lad.

Very well said brother

BluntBoy:
intent does not mean a lack of solid evidence. Intent helps the court decide on a fair judgment.

When someone is caught with drugs, two intents can be established:

1. For personal use
2. To trade.

If an intent for personal use is established in court, the offense is ruled a misdemeanor and the sentence would be mild.

If the intent for trade is established, the offense is ruled a felony and the sentence would be relatively heavy.

I wish they could be guided by your comments.
