Benbellamor: Chief of staff of Gov bello caught boasting that with what has been ochestrated down for Dino in Lokoja, he boasted that he will not be a standing senator before june 2018, and he was so sure, using God as his witness that Dino's fate is already sealed, that he cant survive it,,,watch
A heavy clash occurred at the Chief Magistrate court, Mpape, Abuja earlier today between some lawyers and police officers over the detention of two lawyers and relatives of Senator Dino Melaye.
PoliticsNGR gathered that David Amaefula and Pius Udo-Inyang, who are of the law firm of Messrs Rickey Tarfa & Co. Abuja Office, were on Tuesday, April 24 and 25 arrested by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) office Guzape after they were dispatched to the Zankli Medical Centre, Mabushi, Abuja to secure justice for Senator Melaye, who was being admitted there.
Two other persons including a cousin to Melaye and his friend were also arrested during the raid. Magistrate Zubairu on Monday granted the defendants bail in the sum of N200,000 and one surety each in like sum, adding that the sureties must be resident in the FCT.
All hell broke loose when over 50 armed policemen deployed in the court attempted to seize placards from protesting lawyers. The over 100 lawyers in the court premises resisted the move.
The police officers then encircled the lawyers and demanded that they leave the court premises. This attracted stiff opposition from the lawyers. Watch the footage below;
HeWrites: According to the story shared on Facebook, a man who refused to do court and white wedding with his baby mama is now begging to wed her in court after she got an opportunity to relocate abroad with her family. The story is quite interesting.
Read below; “I got pregnant nine years ago while dating my current husband and then the issue of marriage came up. I wasn’t working then. He told my family and I that he doesn’t want a court marriage for no reason. My parents tried talking to him, I cried and begged him severally to legalize his marriage with me but he stood his grounds not to wed me in a court.
I involved his family members to help me beg him but they said, he’s old enough to make his decisions. He even refused to do a white wedding either because my church requested for a court certificate, so we ended up doing only traditional marriage.
I later got tired and gave up on the matter. I was hurt and broken but I resolved to marry him like that just to save myself and my family the shame of having a baby outside wedlock. My dad was angry and disappointed in him but he didn’t care and because of that my dad vowed to see me a successful and independent woman with or without him.
After I gave birth to my baby, my dad helped me secure a job with a multinational company and things started to turn around for me. I could now take care of myself and secure a future.
Though I married my husband but I never forgave him from my heart and it made me not to do anything in my husband’s name.
We currently have three kids together but all my properties are in the name of my children. I never used him as my next of kin either.
Just last month my company decided to transfer me to a branch in Texas and the company is willing to pay for my entire family to relocate with me. My husband’s business is not doing too well and he’s willing to relocate also but we have no legal certificate to show that we are married.
Now he wants us to go to the court to legalize our marriage and I have said “No” My dad has threatened to disown me if I ever go with him to court.
He’s been tagging me everywhere as a bad wife who is not loyal to her husband, spoiling my family also. His family members have been calling me trying to persuade me but I told them I’m old enough to make my decisions also and I have stood my ground just like he did to me nine years ago.”
Convince your dad to allow you do the needful. Do the court thing with him. His refusal in the first place is blessing in disguise. He has learnt his lessons, I suppose. If you refuse, consider the consequences of working abroad and your husband at home. It will put a heavy strain on the marriage. Unless you are contemplating divorce.
JARUSHUB: We know the unemployment situation is on the high side, however we never knew it has taken has taken a new dimension. A top indigenous upstream oil and gas company invited candidates for a test (over 42,000 applied). One of the requirements stated in the invite is: “charms will not be allowed”. Which means candidates may have been caught wearing charms during previous recruitment. There is also a rumour about yet another firm that invited candidates for an interview, and some were caught with charms around their waist.
It looks like job hunting in Nigeria is becoming war!
However, you don’t need charms to pass aptitude tests, interviews or assessment center exercises, but you probably need specialised coaching on all to scale through successfully. And these services are available in Nigeria.
alBHAGDADI: When we humans mess things up, we turn around to blame God. We forget that he gave us all we need to make life better for each and everyone of us, but we mismanage them.
Look at what is happenning in Nigeria today. We are laying the foundation for our dooming, and we are stupidly cheering it on. We are gradually becoming proud of doing the wrong things. Look at those we are celebrating and enriching; people of questionable character.
Tonto Dikeh recently bagged a Niger Delta award for PEACE. From the outfit she wore to the event, it shouldn't take anyone to study rocket science to know she doesn't represent peace. Someone that couldn't maintain the peace in her marriage and is known to be violent is now seen as an ambassador for peace in a troubled Niger Delta region. Now we know why the region is the way it is.
BamBam who got sexed in the toilet is now getting endorsed and interviewed all across media houses. When will a girl who scored the highest in WAEC get such attention? We humans hardly read their news. But when it comes to BBNaija, we known everything about the show. Still, we turn around to wonder why children now prefer to pay for miracle centres when they want to write exams.
Bisola who was live on TV s*cking and munching d*ck is now a UN ambassador for the girl child. Female children are to now look up to her and draw inspiration from her actions. Can you all now see why the UN is sick and can never bring peace?
BBNaija
Do you think it makes sense for a show to give millions to an individual in a country where millions are wallowing in poverty? What exactly did the individual do to deserve such? What does that teach our youths? It teaches them that hardwork doesn't pay cos you can now sleep and have sex to become a millionaire.
People see nothing wrong with the show. Many youths are out there getting up early to catch the morning bus so as to beat traffic, while someone who slept for months woke up a millionaire. Is that money not enough to end the poverty of thousands? Why give it to just one person who did not significant that others can't do?
Many youths are looking for funds to go for farming or start up a business, yet these multinational companies are endorsing BBNaija housemates with millions, housemates who spent months indoors doing nothing.
The sad part is that people see nothing wrong in all of these. They won't until we all look back and don't know where a problem came from.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Our values are not only confused and intrinsically defective but also counterproductive.
opera1: The long drama over the attempt to recall the Senator representing Kogi West took a turn towards an end on Saturday with the verification exercise flopping. Results announced by INEC at the end of the exercise showed that only 18,742 signatories to the recall petition were verified out of the 189,870 signatories on the petition. The verified signatories fell well below the requirement of the law that 50 percent and one of the signatories must be verified before the recall process can continue.

They created sympathy for Dino by hunting for him. There was a seeming desperation to get him and his brothers under lock and key before the verification exercise. This obviously backfired. The people began to see him as a symbol of martyrdom and state repression. They could now identify with him and see themselves in him. The exercise could have fared better were Dino not forcefully arrested.
I do not know how to make you understand. This is basic English. It meant that in exactly 2 days time, I should be three years here or shall have stayed three years here.
Back to the main sentence: SHALL have learnt her lesson is not the same meaning as SHOULD have learnt her lesson. The first case is used after the fact or incident; the second sense is admonitory. She ought not to have caused accident in the first place.
Angelanest: A 36-year-old man who sexually abused a 2-year-old girl has been reportedly released after cutting grass in a police station. It was gathered that on 25th April, 2018, a mother rushed to Nigeria Police,C Division Asaba, Delta state seeking for the arrest of a man who sexually assaulted her baby.
According to Prince Gwamnishu Harrison, after the woman's statement was taken by the I.P.O, the suspect was arrested. The IPO demanded N50,000 from the woman for mobilization and to enable him prepare all documents to send the suspect to court.
"After arresting the Suspect, one of the Police officer (Two Star) told me to go and bring N50,000 for mobilization and to help fast track the case. I told him I don't have money and am no longer interested in the case. I was given a paper to write a withdrawal letter which the IPO helped me to write", said the woman.
Behind Bars Defenders' and 'My Body My Right Foundation heard the woman's predicament and contacted her and she said she's no longer interested and she has lost confidence in the Nigeria Police force.
When the woman was driven to the police station, the DCO denied the IPO requesting money for mobilization. That the woman told them she's no longer interested in the case. She had to write a withdrawal.
DCO Confirmed that the DPO ordered the suspect to cut grass and he was released. Suspect who was arrested for fingering and inserting his man-hood into the private part of a 2 year old was released after cutting grass, DPO's order.
The mother said "I noticed my daughter experience pain each time she urinates. I asked her,& she told me "brother touched me". The man who defiled my baby is my neighbor"
The case been demanded to be re-opened, a medical report issued immediately and the baby be taken to a hospital to be examined by a medical Doctor.
Typical of Nigerian Police. Money has changed hands. I think a rape case isn't taken seriously in Nigeria for unknown reasons. Are there no laws? what happened to the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (VAPPA)?
He was said to have stolen the uniform from an army barracks and used it to terrorise residents of the community. He reportedly used it during the period of the fuel scarcity to harass people and create panic.
Luck, however, ran out on him on April 17, 2018, when operatives from the Adatan Police Division, who were on a routine patrol, accosted him and while he was being questioned, he owned up to being a fake soldier.
Hmmm. He couldn't even fear the uniform. What is the crying for? Some people just jump into crime without taking any thought for the consequences. The beating wey them go give am na die!
RickRansom: I was schooling in the Western Nigeria at the time of this incident. One day I traveled to a distant city, and since the person I went there to see was not a church goer, I located a church around for Sunday service. During the service, their pastor or someone like that, who I didn't know anywhere before that day, singled me out of the crowd and said, "Don't put yourself under pressure looking for a wife. Your wife is nowhere near. She is in a very distant place, and you will travel to the place before you can meet her."
Before the actual prophesy, she said "You're not in any dating relationship and you live alone. Two people told you they wanted to start living in your apartment. Please, don't welcome them."
That is very accurate. I was living alone in a room. Two friends, who were also students, told me that they would start living with me the following semester because they wouldn't be able to afford their house rent by the time we resumed for the next semester.
But I'm not a student of that type of prophetic school of thought. So, I don't rely on the prophesy. But despite all my efforts, unmarried women kept disappointing me until I lost interest in dating. So, I no longer care about getting a wife. But my people are mounting pressure on me to get married. They then started arranging women for me. I'm handsome, and anywhere I go, girls and married women won't stop looking my direction. I'm very funny and fluent in English. After meeting those arranged for me the first time, they stopped talking to me afterwards, despite that they couldn't look at me in the face when we first met. But this is not so with married women. I can swear that two married women offered me sex of recent. I'm 37, and tired of being not married. Is this prophesy the thing that is orchestrating my woes?
I hope you are not bleeping married women? Karma is a bitch. The prophecy has sunk into your subconscious mind. So it is dictating to you subconsciously. Try to travel to a distant place to meet your wife.
wirinet: This write up does not prove Goodluck Jonathan actually wrote a doctoral thesis. What it proves is that abstact of jonathans PHD thesis is available. Yes, abstract from Jonathan's thesis is listed among PhD theses abstracts from 1983 to 2008, but the actual PHD thesis has not been seen.
My brother, you have a problem. To have written an abstract, the thesis is already completed. You cannot write an abstract at the beginning of a thesis. You suppose to know this if ever you have written one. You can help us further by pinpointing the thesis Jonathan 'stole' abstract from. Jonathan Thesis isn't our national problem at moment.
Lame. This doesn't add up at all. Too many excuses and blame-game. Our president is Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. Declare a state of emergency and fish out the perpetrators. You really can handle the situation if you can.
BabaO2: This could be doctored and backdated same as Dino melaye's certificate by the school authority. Pls bring out his journals in his build to PhD etc.
Did you read the post at all? "It turned out that Jonathan actually wrote a doctoral thesis. My contact, who by the way dislikes Jonathan, checked a publication of the University of Port Harcourt’s School of Postgraduate Studies titled “PhD Theses Abstracts 1983-2008.” It’s a record of Uniport’s PhD theses abstracts from 1983 to 2008, which was edited by B.W. Abbey, M. Horsfall, J.M. Ebong, and S.B. Arokoyu. A record of Jonathan’s PhD thesis appears in this publication. Notice that this publication preceded Jonathan's ascension to the presidency.
His thesis title is, “Ecology of Parhyale Hawaiensis Dana 1853 and Other Intertidal Talitroids (Crustacean Amphipoda) in the Bonny & New Calabar Rivers Estuary,” and it was supervised by a Dr. I.P. Aleleye-Wokoma. So contrary to what is available in the public domain, the late Prof. Charles Bruce Powell wasn’t Goodluck Jonathan’s doctoral thesis supervisor."
Paradigm777: Help, He Is About To Make A Grave Mistake
Hello nairalanders, I just discovered that the woman my best friend is about to get married to has no womb and she kept it from him. The wedding is scheduled for this Saturday. Should I tell him or hold my peace?
Why will someone go into marriage with a stranger? He had not carried out any tests. Guess, he doesn't know her genotype or phenotype either!
