These Ibos are funny. So, the same people who killed Fajuyi for killing their leaders later buried Fajuyi with full military honors.
Fajuyi then must have been the only soldier in the history of Nigeria to be accorded such honors after a failed coup, and I wonder why.

Fajuyi was a rare gem, a true son of Ekiti. No amount of revisionism will ever erase that. I think it is true there's no word for love in Ibo language.

I stopped taking the OP serious after reading point no. 4. He is just reeling out conjectures from his head. He provided no references or sources whatsoever. I have read General Obasanjo "not my will" and "my command" and no where did it state that the coup plotters were out to kill Fajuyi. Every source I have read said that Fajuyi was killed because he refused to give up Ironsi. So I am waiting for the OP give us his own source.

Vinnie2000:
Expelled a female student because of Twerking? Very Harsh and Draconian from UNN!

Did she Kill Anyone?
Did she Injure?
Did she Vandalize School property?

Just because of Ordinary Twerking in front of Adults and in a DARK Environment!
I sincerely pray some Help comes Her way or someone Intervenes!

Sad Nigeria is gradually slipping into a religious fanatics haven while becoming the corruption (both morally and socially) headquarters of the world. In Nigeria young adults get physically abused for attending parties, drinking alcohol and now twerking.

Small time women would start getting stoned to death for adultery.

BluntTheApostle:
Bro, just stop posting.

Strippers go to school, but don't strip in school.

No one cares if you strip off-campus, as long as you are not comstituting a nuisance with your stripping.

But to strip on campus, that is never allowed anywhere in the world.

The problem with you guys is that you see tertiary education as an extension on secondary education. It is not. It was supposed to train adult on various disciplines to help provide practical solutions to problems of society. A university student is according all the rights of an adult. That's why in some countries you need to be an adult (or almost an adult) before you are admitted.

As long as you are not stripping in a class room or public space, you are well within your rights to strip, have sex, smoke and do adult things within your private spaces with the campus. Mind you some campuses are a whole town on itself


With what I read here, Nigeria is on its way to become thr next Afghanistan. All that is required now is for a Taliban like group or a Christian fundamentalist group to take over government.

Beverlyjean:
If this is true then we are in deep trouble for the next generation

And the thieving politicians, the morally bankrupt traditional rulers, the scamming pastors and the 419 youths are good pointers for the next generation.

CrownOfClay724:
Mtcheeeeew.

While I do not support the highhanded approach of the Dean, I feel all these shalaye and show-body no necessary.

That's your personal feeling. Your feeling does not reflect the feelings of others.

If she wants to be a stripper, there are strip clubs to go to. No be to turn school to whorehouse.
There are behaviours one ought restrict to private places.

Stripping is not restricted to strip clubs according to the constitution. Twerking is obviously not crime according to university guidelines when gaining admission. Besides our universities are already whorehouses as most female hostels have become brothels.

Her twerking has nothing to do with her academics.

Cubana should getat if he don't know what to do with money.

Cubana is trying to encourage a young promising exorbitant youth to continue her education, while moral Cape crusaders are happy to kill that dream.

We those are what we asked them to produced it's parts of what will contribute to job creation and we have skill workers in Nigeria only that we refused to value everything we have both minerals and human resources. We prefer to depend on foreign products and services which has been killing our economy and now population keep rising.

You are putting the cart before the horse. You are talking about job creation first before you start talking about infrastructures that will make job creation possible. You are talking of job creation on 5000 MW of electricity. How many jobs can 5000Mw create?

Which skill worker does have? Which type of skills does Nigeria have? Modern skills or archaic administrative skills? Is our educational system designed with modren skills in mind? I am in the job market looking for qualified bakers and chef for my wife's eatery. For 6 months now we have not found a skilled baker. I am not talking about paper. qualifications, we have interviewed plenty of those, I mean a baker that understands the practical aspect of baking.

The irony is that we have been 200,000,000 for the past 10 years. As we dey born 5 million every year, we no suppose don reach 250,000,000 by now? How come year in year out, we remain at 200,000,000.

Zidoh:
Is these not reason we are shouting that they should focus on job creation in other to curb and eradicating poverty and hunger in the land?

Where is the power, roads and infrastructures to drive the industries that will create the jobs?

Where is the education and skills that will create the jobs?

galaxy2020:
Uncontrolled population growth, and most of this 5million come from the north, where they give birth without plan on how to take care of them. We dey hearam now, with banditry, terrorism, kidnapping etc over taking the country.

Not only north o. Go to an average maternity clinic in the south, you will see women giving birth per second per second. And we are not even talking about women giving birth at home or traditional nursing homes.
It's a general problem.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has said the population of Nigeria currently is 200million, increases by five million annually.

That's the total population of over half the countries of the world. Countries like Denmark, Singapore, Norway, Finland have barely 5 million population.
Uncontrolled Population increase might be the single most serious problem that will destroy the country. It is the single most important issue that is responsible for our rising poverty rate and thus insecurity.
With a population growing at 5%, inflation growing at 14% and then economy growing at a measly 2%, disaster awaits us in the near future.

Only IBB attempted to control population with the "one woman four children" policy. That was when the population was about 88 million. Even at that it was not implemented.
The present government needs to declare a population emergency and start taking drastic measures instead of just complaining.

LilMissFavvy:
Daft slow*poke, yes I still stand on my argument that most atheists belong in fraternities/cults, and that picture you shared means nothing because any atheist who is interested in that organization would simply claim the needful to gain entry. You wax in immense stu*pidity, otherwise you should go to crime section and read about them, and see if such a rule exists, cultism that teens are being swallowed up by, you think anyone asks teens if they are theist before being forcefully initiated. Who told You being theist is a prerequisite? You stay in religion section arguing foolishly, instead of checking out real life events. A secondary School in the west was recently shut down because of these groups. Continue to wax in your stupidityy, as for me I have better things to do with my time, so I'm done.

Which argument fo you stand by? You simply make a claim without any basis. You now imagine an assumption in your head that atheists interested in joining cult organizations would lie and claim to be theists to gain admission. And based on that your imagined assumption you have proven that 99% of atheists are cult members.

I still ask, how many atheists have you encountered personally in your entire life? Nigeria consists of over 99% theists and I doubt the total number of professed atheist in Nigeria is up to 2 million, mostly found in universities or graduates of universities. Where you have encountered thousands of atheists to jump to that conclusion is a mystery to me. Except of course you want to tell me you are a cult member yourself and somehow closet atheist members open up to you that they are truly atheists pretenting to be theists.

A secondary school was recently closed down due to cult activities and this somehow confirms that the students are atheists? How do you link the two?

LilMissFavvy:
You do not belong, stay where you are and stop being curious. As for me, I've encountered them. They have laws and rules guiding them. One of such rules was that he told me in his occult if a lady is menstruating , he isn't supposed to mingle with her. They swear oath. A well read young man who studied abroad and is exposed, claiming atheism, yet in occult. Of course I cut off from him, because I don't share same beliefs. They attend meetings at odd times. They have their uniform.

Negative effect of watching too many nollywood movies.

Too many misconceptions and ignorance in your post. Google the definition of atheism to begin to get the meaning of atheism and the different types of theism there are. Although there are spiritual atheism, that is more common in eastern religions ie Buddhism and Shintoism. Only a few percentage (less than 10%) of self professed atheists in the West believes in spirits and spiritual powers.

Where did you get your outrageous statistics that 99% of atheists are also members of various cults? How many atheists have you surveyed and how many cults do you know? I can confidently state that almost all Ogboni, ARMOC, Free Mason, illuminati members are theists - mostly Christians.

Workch:
He's an idiot, dtruthspeaker is a big idiot.
To add to arrogance and ignorance, he's a coward.

He threatened to beat me because I criticized his GOd, we picked a venue but the dude never showed up just like his god never does.
He's a big clown here, just enjoy his comedy and don't take it heart.

You mean he is now resorting to violence like his Arab brothers? Why resort to violence because of your God? He must have insecurities surrounding his beliefs.

Dtruthspeaker:
No! I mean WE CHOOSE TO BECOME SOMETHING WE SEE OR REMAIN AS WE ALREADY ARE!

A child born into a house thIeves either chooses to learn the ways of stealing or chooses to find another way IF HE DOES NOT TRULY LIKE THE WAY OF THIEVES.

A PERSON IS WHAT HE CHOOSES TO BE!

I did not choose the Way of Christ because my people were church goers.

I Chose Him BECAUSE I LIKED HIM. I Hate Wicked people as my Church Visiting people proved to be.

I Liked Good and Just People as Christ Proved to be.

And that is the decision on ground.

Good people will Choose God. Lovers of evil and wickedness will CHOOSE ANY ONE OF THE MILLION OTHER WAYS!

BUT GOD ONLY HAS ONE WAY! THAT IS WHAT IS ON GROUND!

Believe me, you have serious issues. You speak with arrogance, while the words betray ignorance. You CHOSE HIM, because that was the only option you were presented with at birth. Others presented with other options naturally liked other religions.

Your conclusion that his home (meaning his parents) are not true Christians just because he (one child) chose to rebel is an insult. His remaining siblings might be pastors. I have seen children of senior pastors rebel and renounce Christianity. Most times even children of G.Os are rebellious.

Dtruthspeaker:
Born into a people who go regularly go to church does not make you a Christian.

Shear arrogance.
You mean to tell me you were born into a people who are true christians, but he was born into a people who are fake Christians?

No true Scotsman fallacy.

kingxsamz:
If such had actually happened, it would have shaken the entire world, the story would have spread far and wide, popular figures during that period would have attested to it, many witnesses would have written so many things about it. It would be an unforgettable moment in history. Yet we can only find it in the bible, the same bible where snakes and donkeys can talk and have conversations like humans, the same bible that has been re-edited a thousand times. Funny.

Christianity is Judaism season 2, whereby the narrative was twisted to suit the Roman Empire aka the Gentiles. Islam is Judaism season 3, whereby the same narrative was twisted to suit the Arabs.

Christianity was formulated by Paul as a result of visions or apparitions of Jesus. Islam was formulated as a result of visions or apparitions of angel Gabriel.

hupernikao:
Your environment and teaching you are exposed to is obviously having a weight on you. Sorry for that.

Obviously. Your environment and exposure determines our beliefs and direction in life.

But don't judge the world with the eye of your estate and exposure.

Then what else can you judge the world with if not with your eyes, ears, senses and exposure? Dreams, inspirations and revelations?
Mind you Dreams, inspirations and revelations are shaped by our experiences and exposures.

Your knowledge of what Christianity is need a total overhaul.

Please teach us your own knowledge of Christianity so I can stand corrected.

Workch:
Seems like we atheists on nairaland are doing a very good job at exposing the scam in Christianity. We planting seeds that will germinate.

The more you people try to blindly defend your faith, the more reasonable people will see through the charades.

Bros, I swear you have made the right decision. You are free and free indeed, you will start living a quality life knowing that you do not have imaginary friends ad enemies.

I’m 100% sure that the Christian god doesn’t exist, it’s scam. All the evidence we have are against the existence of a “Christian” description of god.

100% ke? I would say 1000%. The Christian God that was born as a man without the Y chromosome ( i still wonder how he got the features of a male with only X chromosome), lived like a man, was tempted by the devil, was beaten by a mob and eventually killed by Roman authorities. He now woke up again after 3 days ( actually a little over 30 hours) and continued living like nothing happened. Eventually he was taken physically to heaven (or is it space) and we are to await his retrun from space.

Meanwhile we are to give tithes and offerings along with our brains and minds to his priests ( or is it pastors) so that they can enjoy heaven here on earth, while we await to enjoy our own rewards in heaven after we die.

There has not been greater scam that that in the history of humanity.

Kobojunkie:
If you never had evidence of God's existence before thus, why did you call yourself a Christian to begin with?

I would never had chosen Christianity if He hadn't proven to me first that He is. If He hadn't invaded my space during the trial period, I would have concluded that He didn't exist and moved on to the next Faith on my list.

I would say you are economical with the truth here ( I did not say you are lying). I am sure you were a Christian first before he proved to you that he is. That's the way it works for over 90% of religionists. You are born into a particular religion and then later become more convinced of that religion as you mature. Very few change religion or become irreligious as they become more descerning, and I doubt you are one of them that changed religion.

Abagworo:
The significant thing is that his wife has filed for divorce so Maria can have him and his remaining 50% wealth which she also intends to cut half after a few years.

50% of his wealth in Nigeria? Even in the US the woman does not get 50% of the man's wealth in a divorce. It depends on numerous factors like her contribution to the man's wealthy and their respective worth prior to the marriage.

Biglittlelois:
And they've all made it the wife's fault, same way it was with Annie, it is in naija I know that men never take sole responsibility or blame for their fvck up, nobody knew who your brother was if not for Maria, so how did the wife drag his name through the mud? Only in naija will a man get married, and if he prioritises his wife and kids above others, automatically means the wife is at fault and is using juju, and cases like this will never come from a female, it is always the younger brother or elder that will bring up lamentations and sob stories, same way it was with Annie, smh.

That's because it is only in Nigeria that the whole family is involved in a man's success. In Nigeria and indeed black Africans where there is poverty and absolutely no social security net. The whole family (and sometimes village) contributes to the education or business of one brother. Does it now make sense for the same brother to abandon his whole family because he married an "okpeke"? Should be not also give back to his family that help make him? Meanwhile the wife will be sponsoring her own family with the husband's money no caring about the husband's family. Is that not the height of wickedness and selfishness?

Noshitboi:
Na arrangee by the police. They want to paint the protesters as hoodlums but God pass them

Exactly. It not only arrest we want to hear. We would like to also hear prosecution in a court of law and punishment. After the "arrest" the suspect would be released or "bailed" by those who sent them, and that is the last we will hear of it.

Phraences:
If people had all they desired, i doubt they will engage in midnight prayer. Anyone engaging in midnight prayer is definitely looking for something and most times it is progress, success, promotion, anointing of ease and then health issues or problems of life. But money is usually the common denominator.

Exactly. Buy you will agree with me that people and societies that achieved progress, success, promotion, anointing of ease and health did not do so by midnight prayer and fasting. It was predicated on education, hard work, justice and peace.

Iyaebe:
The sole reason why we are created is to worship God,so midnight prayers doesn't mean we are asking God for worldly things, it's not out of place to also state our desires but however God knows what's best for us and whatever He didn't grant us was not good for us in the first place.When you feed your soul with His spirit and abide by his commandments you shall be rewarded with the best of both worlds.Give it a try sir.

So if you don't ask for worldly things like good health, wealth and fortune, what then do you ask for in your daily midnight prayers?

If God knows what's best for you and he grants you whatever he feels is good for you, what then is the essence of your midnight prayers? Since as you said, it cannot change the plan God already has for you.

Iyaebe:
That's what makes us different, I'm not worldly and my major concern is the life after this life,so we children of faith care less about worldly things,we just do our best and let God take over.Heaven is our target.Shalom

See consolation. If you are not worldly and your major concern is the life after this life, then what is your daily midnight prayers all about - for God to take you into the afterlife quickly?

My sister, spend the time you are wasting on midnight prayers praying for "worldly things" to improve yourself - improve your health, mind and wealth. Learn new skills, get new certificates or degrees, exercise your body. In 5 years you will be much better than where you are today.

Iyaebe:
I never said midnight prayers doesn't work,I engage in midnight prayers almost daily but I responded according to the topic

If midnight prayers work, you must be the most successful person in the country, at least in your locality.

seyicodes:
over 2 billion people can't fall for scam. Do you mean you are more intelligent than over 2 billion people that believe in God and religion.

Billions fell for the MMM scam. Billions of people have fallen for money doubling scams and billions more will continue to fall. It's the right promises - extraordinary promises, right packaging and right marketing.

None is more potent than the other as both are useless. As the saying goes "Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer."

Too much fasting and midnight prayers may even be harmful to the physical and metal wellbeing of a person. Imagine telling someone that is sick or have some medical condition like ulcer to fast. Same thing with midnight prayers, not getting adequate sleep will make someone less functional and productive at work the next day, that is apart from the mental and psychological problems of sleep deprivation.

The amount of time Nigerians waste in fasting and prayers, if we put it to use in actual work, learning and research, we would be the greatest nation on earth.

Solatium:
[b]Did you had a written contract with those who you undertake a job for and ended up owing you for more than one month at the delivery point?

You cannot undertake construction job without an agreed quotation and payment terms, all signed.

The Problem with you guys is that you always think you are at their Mercy,a rich man is not stupid,if he knows that you are well structured the chances of deliberately owing you for that long is very very slim,i have undertake jobs for cooperate entities and the longest they owe me is 2 weeks after delivery,the worse experience i had was with a state agency whose head held all contractor's money for over 3 months and that was the last job i undertook with them before i withdrew my services.

Forget structure, rich and powerful men owes big and structured companies and there is little they can do except long and expensive legal tussles to get their monies. Rich men owe big and structured banks billions of naira and the banks beg to get their money. AMCON was created for banks to recover loans that banks could otherwise not recover.

I don't care who you are,i will not come to you seeking a favor neither will i look to get things through the backdoor.
Once those conditions are not there you no go wan try am now[/b]

A former Group Managing Director of NNPC owed me for job done at his residence and his wife's office. What do you expect me to do? I asked someone he respects to beg him for me. It was the day he was taking his whole family to London on holidays he felt pity for me and paid me my N250,000 owed. Do you want me to tell you about a SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) that owed me for 8 months.

Now, I don't allow people to owe me. I must collect my money 100% before final delivery of any goods or services. This I state in all my contracts. If the clients don't accept it, then it's bye. I cannot go through the stress and humiliation of begging for my money again.

Solatium:
A rich and connected Person won't owe you an 8 months rents,locks hop and go AWOL.

A rich and connected person would be dealing with a corporate entity (Estate valuer)thereby a legal agreement would have been in place which is binding on all parties

You above post betray your ignorance on how rich men conduct business. It seems you have never done business or you have never gone beyond petty business.
I have over 20 years exoerience of running my own businesses, and I can tell you that from exoerience it is the very rich and wealthy that owes the most. In fact very wealthy and powerful people pay their workers very poor. If I tell you the calibre of people that owed me as little as N300,000 for up to a year before I got my money, you will not believe it. It was the main reason I had to close down my construction company I was running.

If the OP thinks his rights have been bridge at a time or the other he should approach the rent tribunal,that won't cost a harm and leg

This is not a civil case for a rent tribunal but a criminal case of illegal entry and burglary. Taking someone's property without permission or court order is theft.

Solatium:
He who goes to justice must come with a clean hand,if you want to deal with people in a legal way,you must also comply to the same legal law.
As far as i am concern the landlord still act within a reasonable sense.
Blabbing is not enough you can foot the bill of the OP's legal actions.

The landlord acted within a reasonable sense - morally and emotionally. But legally he committed a crime. If he tried that with a rich or connected person, he could lose a lot more than the rent value.

Daboomb:
Stop giving IGNORANT ADVICE here!

Lease tenants, whether Yearly Lease or Ten Years Lease, also attract 7days Notice of Owner's intention to Apply to for Recovery Property/Take possesion, after Lease has expired by Effluxion of Time.

So, it is not correct to say that 7Days Noticr apply to only Monthly tenant.

I just pity all these Muumu landlords who worked hard to Buld their House and then allow one useless Tenant to be riding them.
Greedy landlords should know that it does not serve their interest, to collect Agreement Money but refuse to Execute a Water-Tight Agreement.
That is their greatest Undoing.

Such ignorance. It seems you have never been to court to witness a tenancy case between landlord and tenant.
A landlord's notice of intention to recover his property is not a right to forcefully evict a tenant. It is as it fully describes, an intention to commence legal proceedings to recover his property. It is still the courts that would determine team recovery of your property. The length of the notice to commence recovery proceeding depends on the length of the tenancy according to the Lagos Tenancy Law passed in 2011.

Unless the recovery of property is specifically stated in the tenancy agreement, the law applicable is the Lagos Tenancy Law. Even at that the landlord cannot evict the tenant without a valid court order.
