There seems to be a perversion in this judgement. It is more or less as if the girl was discharged & acquitted in this very complex murder case.

How can the defense Counsel & the Prosecution Counsel appealed to the court to tender justice with mercy on her own case in their respective Allocutus?

They said that she provided missing links to the hidden facts of the case and she took on a sober posture. How?

Is this not the same receptionist who earns over 100k monthly at her duty post?

Which 3-Star hotel in this part of the world, even in Lagos pays their receptionists over 100k monthly?

There seems to be a twist in her Judgement. All is well!

If you really know the story and the role she played in assisting the authorities to unravel the mysterious and gruesome murder, you wouldn't have posted what you wrote.

The sentence is not even fair on her because she was practically unaware of what transpired and wasn't in the picture. Her case is what the Yorubas call "Akoba Adaba".

I can see some dimwits that kept supporting Buhari on this thread. It is so shameful that people let their personal interest override that of their country. Buhari has come and go, but the consequences of his failure is left with Nigerians. We just pray this administration doesn't end in failure too. Amen.

I just got two jobs:
1. Federal Hospital Job - ₦95,000 monthly
2. General Manager of a subsidiary of a big pharmaceutical company - ₦500,000 monthly.

I have been out of job for 2yrs before these employments, I have really suffered that in those 2years, where my family have disowned cos I have been so poor and hopeless.

Now I want to make the right choice, which job should I pick cos I'm also thinking of japa very soon

Are you kidding? Asking which one to choose?

My friend, you better accept the General Manager job.

What makes you think you cannot also lose the Federal job?

This Bawa looks too younger than his age.

Besides, which one efcc boss dey followe NNPC boss go up, how are their jobs related?

Abi dem want begin dey trace oil importers feeding fat on subsidy?

It is laughable if Tinubu says he wants to fight corruption

kabukabu50:
Nigeria is much worse than it was 20 years ago and its clearly reflected by the ignorance posted on here every day.

There are a handful of genuinely intelligent people on here but they are vastly outnumbered the emotionally deficient crowd.

The travel forum is by far the only decent part of this site left that isn't infested with moronic rambling.

20 years ago??

Nairaland itself is not even up to 20 years old.

Modified: Apologies, didn't read your post carefully, I thought you said Nairaland, differ know you wrote Nigeria.

Nairaland has taught me that there are a lot of ill-mannered kids who ought to be in school studying hard, on the platform hurling insults at people instead of them to calm down and learn and also enjoy the benefits the platform has got to offer. I sometimes wonder if the parents who bought the phone for them monitor their activities to know what they are using it for.

Wale Edun, the next Minister of Finance.

seunayantokun:
How true is that? Note that the veracity of that statement was not established by the court.
Also, note that they are equal partners. Did they sit down together and agree to sell the property in dispute?

Well, good question, that is exactly the crux of the matter.

seunayantokun:
Correct judgement.
You see, if you have lived with your wife for that long, she has become part of your success. Are you right to want to run away with the gains and leave her life empty, having done you no evil, even if you have had a disagreement? Nooooooo. That's not correct. Put your daughter, sister, or mother in her shoes, how would you feel?

But the man settled her by buying another property for her (in Mile 2, Lagos) nau, didn't you read that part?

Congratulations 🎉 to all women in Nigeria. We have been waiting for this time.

In the character of big cities worldwide, Lagos is a hard, unforgiving place. It is not known for hospitality or kindness.

Lagos is not a calming or soothing place. It is a place of unbridled aggression. Unlike let's say a Cross River or Akwa Ibom, or a Plateau (before things took a terrible turn in the 1980s & 1990s), Lagos is not particularly welcoming of strangers - in fact, once it is clear you are a JJC, you will lose the shirt on your back.

Lagos doesn't do lovely. It is a brutal place with no love on its streets.

Well, I still beg to differ.

Every city has its challenges, and Lagos is no exception.

Again, where you reside, work and hangout in Lagos also play a major role.

Legendrysailor:
Tell ur w...hore of a mother to go and wash her dirty cunt because it smells bad, and please before u insult me again be best informed that ur father told me about ur mother's disasterous predicament.

Idiót, I wonder which of your mother's sugar boy gave you a smart phone and took your brain and attitude in exchange.

You better go and ask your mother who your father is, because you should quickly know him as a kid that you are.

No wonder you keep running from pillar to post looking for who to scam here on Nairaland and all you have to offer in addition are insults.

This is my last post to you.

Please study very hard for your next JAMB exams because you need to mingle with people who will help your miserable life. I only hope your wretched father and dimwit mother realize you should have been flushed down the toilet either as his sémen or as her menstruation.

Idiót kid.

Fujiyama:

It is not.

It is many things but lovely isn't one of them.

Really? I'd like to know how exactly you mean.

Please mention a lovely state in Nigeria so I can understand.

Legendrysailor:
Just shut up jari, Nysc is absolutely useless

Tell your father to shut up, you useless, uncouth loon of a kid.

Can't you pass across your message or idea without insulting your father?

Useless thing. Shows how unintelligent and dàft you are.

I'm sure you are one of those Peter Obi supporters that made the good man lose the election (at least for now) because of the way you go about insulting and trying to bully people.

Don't you ever quote me again, until you go and collect back your brain and sense from your father.

Okiton:


My the departed souls rest in peace

I keep saying, federal government should find alternative to this NYSC.
The time and money wasted on this NYSC of a thing can be useful on other ways. The money spent on kaki and other NYSC kits including the allawee should be calculated and disbursed into every graduate accounts. This will help them build their lives, start business and do will within themselves and employ others. After spending one year of the so-called NYSC in a far away land, squandering the small allawee and return home no job

The major objective of the NYSC scheme is far more holistic than you think and although your suggestion makes sense, the program which is meant to play a part in the unity of Nigeria is fulfilling its purpose.

Let's only always pray that our corpers safely return home after serving their fatherland.

May God grant them eternal rest. Amen.

folake4u:
Okay Sah.

I can see you are a proud and confirmed Gen Z with your full chest

Have fun dear, na una time

folake4u:
I beg to differ.


Failed relationships/marriages have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Gen Z.

There have been failed marriages existing even before the Millennial generation despite all the "mutual respect" and all of that.

So na calling of one's spouse "Ode" dey lead to failed marriages?

"Ode" is a derogatory word, whether said jokingly or not.

I read another post of yours where you mentioned, "Big head", "nonsense boy/girl" etc, now these are words that allude to being playful and can never be (mis)interpreted as an insult.

It starts from "Ode" and gradually graduates to the use of more 'playful words', which eventually leads to insults that you actually mean.

And yes! A 'simple Ode' can crash a marriage over time; if how toothpaste is pressed can break a home, then we had better pay attention to the little things.

folake4u:
There was a typo in my last post. It's not an insult to us. Context matters.

To each his own.

Exactly, "to each his own"
You can see how 'successful' relationships and marriages have been with Gen Z

Mutual respect never goes out of fashion, and generational gap does not preclude it either.

absoluteSuccess:
May our children be among the great people who decides the fate of this great country, and may my descendants preside over this country in the future as Presidents.

Amen.

They will achieve it in a noble way, with enviable behavior and good moral standards, by God's grace. Drugs, thuggery and an alleged assassination will not be mentioned with their names. Amen, but if you think all these don't matter, as long as they become President, then your choice, but God forbid for me.

On a final note, the end does not always justify the means. Abacha was Nigeria's President, Saddam was Iraq's. Mobutu was Zaire's, Idi Amin was Uganda's and Samuel Doe was Liberia's. Your children will not be categorized with these people by God's grace.

When the likes of Barrack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Akinwumi Adesina, etc. are mentioned, may my children's name flow along by God's grace.

Cheers.

folake4u:
I see you're a Millennial. It's an insult please, to us Gen Z especially when used jokingly.

Irrespective of the age range by generation, what I meant was that it is an insult to call your spouse "Ode", whether you are joking or not. There should be some level of respect.

I don't know if this is what you mean as well.

folake4u:
Imagine marrying someone who fights you cos you called him Ode.

But why call your spouse "Ode"? Love or marriage isn't an excuse for insult, whether said jokingly or not; it's like calling him or her "Oloshi".

There are better approaches. My opinion though.

tuzle:
u get am, I swear and na the only game I carry win because why Dortmund no go win that game like why

Ehya, so sorry,

I understand.

Another season will start in the coming months.

Gamble responsibly o.

Best wishes bro.

Nice2023:
I am in my 8th year of marriage.

U guys married ur enemies and that is why u can't progress beyond the level u are presently. If ur marriage is not working,don't think others own are dead like urs.

Even if I have three girl friends now,the love I have for my wife is topnotch and unequalled.

Sorry for ur bad marriage...next time work on ur bad character before u propose to a woman.

You are subtly telling us you have at least a girlfriend; so how do you love your wife so much, your best friend, yet you keep a girlfriend? I am just curious.

tuzle:
very very useless club. Dortmund own is worst at least arsenal where already out of the title race for like 4games back but that mumu Dortmund like how do u not win the most important game of ur season. They just gave underperforming Bayern the league. Game that they are supposed to play like they want to die

Be like Dortmund cut your ticket

absoluteSuccess:
It's either the end justifies the means or the means justifies the end. All integrals are always present.

Every unrighteousness is a sin. I don't have any reason to convict anyone because he's "convicted" in your opinion. I'm neither a court nor omnipotent judge.

The elder statesman in question at this point is not being tried in a lawsuit. He vied for the presidency and won. Did he had a criminal case in the court, not that I know.

He had a past? Who doesn't? What did hushpuppi, Yahoo boys do? How many hushpuppi and yahooboy have govern a state and build political organization?

How many of them worked for a multinational company? What is the age of this people you put into comparison and what kind of background do such often comes from?

I don't know how I, at my age will use my contemporaries and the crime of my age mates to vilify a man whose first son is older than me for political correctness.

I will teach my children not to bully or stand against the dreams and aspirations of others as nobody can stop God from blessing whoever he decides for. But that they should strive for their own greatness.

May your children's name not be associated with drugs for whatsoever reason; whether accused or proven innocent. When they mention their names, may drugs not follow and be tied to them. Say a very big Amen.

Edipet:
please what is the best way to avoid lagos agbero if am to travel to lagos. Considering the fact that they operate with confident.

It's not like agberos are harassing everyone in Lagos, it hasn't gotten to that yet, but crime is prevalent and you need to be careful. Lagos is a lovely place, just go about minding your business and be very vigilant. 'Shadow' well before you board any vehicle (even the car-hailing services), and mind what you openly discuss on phone.

I am Proud of Buhari.
He is Leaving Nigeria Better than he Met it

Buhari Met Everyday Bomblast like it was a free for All party.
Nobody was safe.
Everybody was living in Apprehension.

Fear of where the Next bomb was going to go Off..!

Boko Haram was dare devil dreaded.
Chibok Girls issues was fresh on our Minds.

In the Middle of Security Chaos was Economic Decline. Barrel of Crude sold all time Low prices.

Recession One and Two hit hard the Economy.

They even Made Attempts on his Life he was sick and hospitalized over a Hundred Days abroad.


COVID-19 was all his to Handle.

He lost his most Trusted Allie And Former Chief of Staff of the President Abba Kyari Heavens Bless Him and may His Soul Rest Easy..

Today, it's not as Bad.

No indiscriminate Bomb Blast going off sporadically or randomly.

Boko Haram decimated even if fragments run riots kidnapping.

There are Legacy Projects here and there to show for it.

The Nation is a lot more secured than what it used to be.

Nigerians are getting to believing the Made in Nigeria Brand as Buhari kuku close border, Farmers are Smiling.

Dangote Refinery brought some glimpse of Hope to look forward to.

The Environment is Friendlier than Buhari meet it.

Today I boldly without equivocation say it that Buhari is Leaving Nigeria 2023 better than he met it 2015.

Can you confidently tell God to let your life run the way Buhari ran Nigeria? If Yes, please let us know, so we can help you say the prayer here on Nairaland.

solmusdesigns:
Tinubu took over Lagos when Oshodi was a gangster paradise.... Am sure nothing Buhari does can stop Tinubu's well articulated Renewed hope plan

If Oshodi was a "gangster paradise" when Tinubu took over, then it must have been a 'hoodlums and criminals heaven' when he left.

Who empowered agberos and gave them so much confidence that they still exhibit today? Have you seen them in action for once? You will cry for the drivers and conductors.

Physically, Oshodi is better today and that is expected, you cannot expect it to remain the same since 1999, that was 24 years ago. Mile 2 and many other parts of Lagos also look better.

But the thuggery Tinubu instituted has never been seen before in Nigeria, but then, what do you expect from a drug lord whose style of running a cartel has been replicated in Lagos and will soon be replicated in Nigeria.

She actually went to Church to do thanksgiving for that scam INEC called an election? God is indeed very merciful and patient.

absoluteSuccess:
I don't stop you from writing your opinion, it's freedom of speech. My Bible told me, "don't follow multitude to do evil". I don't know how I will label an achiever a drug baron.

If you succeed in life, people will celebrate you. But hardly will your enemies celebrate you because your success is their sorrow. So they must vilify you. Celebrate success.

It's like your definition of "success" is that the "end justifies the means", no matter what the person did or how he got there.

So if Hush Puppi, Woodberry or any other Yahoo! boy becomes president tomorrow, you will term him "successful".

Don't worry, I understand your kind of mindset, but may my own children never be associated with drugs for whatever reason 🙏🏽, and may their "success" be achieved with high moral standards; I don't know if you pray for the same.

God help us all.

absoluteSuccess:
What I have learned in this season with the Ascension to power of the president elect is that no man, (however close to God) can divine the Divine.

For the younger generation, choose your dreams carefully and go for it with utmost power and courage. Pursue your ambitions with exceptional excellence.

It's the excellence in your being that will see you through the difficult paths ahead of you on your journey to the peak. You are out for success, but various calamity is pretty part of the journey, embrace it.

Excellent spirit will see you through your dreams to success. Choose your dreams and run with it. We know when Tinubu was mocked, around the same time as Salisu Buhari but he never stopped, never allow negative vibes sink your will.

People will mock you and call you different names, fight on. Success is a journey. Make it the journey of your life, it will make your life
to be full of colors. You will lose friends who are not on the same momentum with you.

AD, ACN, APC: these are vehicles to a man actualizing his dream. He's probably won the election before the election year. Live for excellence, never live for the noise: year in year out, it's all noise and nothing changes in their lives.

Engage people who will make noise on your behalf. People you help will rally round you and make noise of the help you do. Help others in your journey of success.

So you wrote this epistle to promote a drug baron?

Your choice anyway.

Best wishes.
