PoliticsRe: Court Quashes Debe's Suit, Awards Ojukwu's Will To Bianca by xstyle: 10:00pm On Mar 29, 2024
Wait! Bianca didn't complain to the court, so it must have been Debe who took the matter to Enugu. Again, the issue started when Ojukwu was alive but he didn't dissociate himself from the said will. However Dede would have proved that some of those properties weren't Ojukwu's property, that is, the Estate belongs to Ojukwu's father (Debe grand father) so without the grandfather legitimately passing the property to Ojukwu, he can't pass it on to another person. Moreover how can a stranger inherit an ancestral land, Debe needs better lawyers abeg.

I am currently a civil servant, with one of the government agencies. I applied for the job with my 1g ram android phone while it was about 4 months to my POP, without connection I went for the abtitude test, without connection I went for interview and I was invited for training and documentation. Sorry I meant without earthly connection. However, I prayed fervently and God favoured me, things might be bad, but I want you to believe that your case will be different.

FamilyThe Silent Pains Of A Husband by xstyle(op): 12:24pm On Apr 26, 2022
Prof Patricia Manko Lar Writes:
Hmmmmm.................THE SILENT PAINS OF A HUSBAND

Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Timebomb.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. It's been mostly left to the church to deal with. What happens when the man doesn't go to church? What happens when the woman doesn't believe in spiritual intervention? These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husband. What kind of wives will they grow up to become? Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags?

We've all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife raining verbal missiles at you? Leave the house? Okay. But you'll return and it will continue. What next? Leave again? For how long?

Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society and while we were downstairs gisting, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man. She called him all sorts of unprintable names. Impotent, wretched fool, miserable man that was nothing when she married him, etc. This is a well respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he'd soon crash and she'll be there to laugh at him.

I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to gamefully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. Uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house.

I was really sad.

You want to know the truth? This is what most men go through in their houses. They labour and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem. When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shrivelled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them.

A sad story comes to mind. There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man.

In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad. Grown up children.

A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me. He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life: how to make their dad miserable. They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be.

Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again.

A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrel and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence. When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of heart-attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments.

Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they'll rather be anywhere than in their own homes.

Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse. Who is talking to the women?

CrimeNew Ndlea Officers Owed Over 5 Months Salary, See How They Survive by xstyle(op): 6:05pm On Apr 05, 2022
Newly recruited officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Academy have accused the agency of owing them six months' salaries.

The officers say they have yet to be paid their salaries since they joined the agency last year.


NDLEA in a memo obtained by SaharaReporters agreed that it owed the officers January salary, saying the February salary would be paid with January arrears.

However, the affected officers noted that it is disappointing that the agency failed to address the nonpayment of their remuneration for the other five months.

They said they are tired and demoralised by the condition they found themselves in. According to them, the situation is so painful as they have been living on borrowing to sustain themselves and their families.

The new personnel added that no formal communication has been done by the agency to assuage their pain.

They said their appointment letters were dated 25th July 2021 and they were trained and deployed immediately to far-flung parts of the country without a dime being paid to date.

“Personally, I borrowed money to report to camp for training as I don't have parents or relatives who will sponsor me to the training,” one of them told SaharaReporters.

“I collected a loan of N45,000 with an interest of N20,000 monthly, hoping after spending two months in the camp, we will be paid but there has been nothing to show for it.

“When my colleagues raised the issue of nonpayment of salary early February this year, they promised to pay February and January at the end of February but up till now, only February and March salaries have been paid.

“I swear, we collect food on credit and sometimes we survive on the monies suspects' relatives give ranging from N1, 000 to N2,000, depending on the kindness of the suspect's relative. I'm making this complaint with pain in my heart. I must be sincere, we are not doing the job with sincerity because of the situation.

“Everybody is afraid to speak out because, during our training, they told us that if we protest, we will be sacked.”
