PoliticsRe: Police Release Shina Peller On Bail by zikter(m): 5:55am On Dec 24, 2019
IgboSomalia:
Please, mention just 3 Reps that came to Maroko Division today.

For Peller to be bailed,
1. His Lawyer wrote and application for bail.
2. A Surety stood in for him.
3. His bail application was approved

In the alternative, he was released based on self recognition.

All these boys they brought from Abakaliki to come and hawk in Lagos for December and go back to the village in January would just be talking off nonsense as if they are in their village bar.
I wonder why people are commenting as if he was meant to spend months in police custody. He did not commit murder or treason, and the normal thing is for him to be bailed or charge to court within the stipulated time.

PetsHeartbroken Soldier Breaks Down In Tears As Military Dog Is Put To Sleep by zikter(op): 6:56pm On Dec 23, 2019
A heartbroken soldier burst into tears as he prepared to say his final goodbye to his terminally ill military working
dog .
In the clip Huaibin begs medics to let him stay beside the dog during the operation, but is removed by a couple of fellow servicemen.
The touching moment was shown on state broadcaster CCTV on Saturday, which shared the sad tale behind their relationship.
Huaibin said he first realised something was wrong with his beloved military dog during a training session, after he bit on a ball and then threw up.
Concerned about him being sick,
Huaibin looked inside the dog's mouth and spotted a large lump- so he sought advice from a vet and was given the sad news that it was a cancerous tumour.
Over the next eight months, Huaibin travelled to a number of different veterinary clinics to try and boost the pooch's chance of survival, explaining: "I wanted to try and save him no matter what."
He went on to say that as 'long as there was a glimmer of hope' he would continue to seek treatment for the dog.

And Huaibin was hopeful, saying Wu Yi was a fighter and wanted to live.
He added: "The way it looked at me - it might be hard for you to understand - was a way for us to communicate. It was saying it also wanted to keep on living."
However, even after four operations the dog's health continued to worsen as the cancer spread.
Vets then told Huaibin that the dog couldn't be saved and that the kindest thing to do would be to put him to sleep.
Huaibin added: "I didn't wish him to suffer anymore. I cannot bear it."
The devastated solider was able to spend a last few moments with the dog, before he was put to sleep.
The dog was given a funeral, attended by several soldiers, including Huaibin, who all saluted the dog's tomb when the ceremony ended.

PoliticsPolice: We Arrested Shina Peller For Mobilizing 50 Thugs To Attack Maroko Police by zikter(op): 3:25pm On Dec 23, 2019
The Lagos State Police Command has explained the reason for the arrest and detention of House of Representatives member, Shina Peller.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said Peller’s club, Quilox, was fond of obstructing free flow of traffic.

He explained that the lawmaker had been warned many times, but he refused to do anything about it.

He said after some of his customers’ vehicles caused gridlock on Monday, the police intervened by towing three of the vehicles.

Bala claimed that Peller mobilised thugs, invaded the station and forcefully removed the vehicles.

He said, “The honourable is the owner of that club and his customers are fond of parking on the road and blocking the road. If you want to pass that place, you will have tough times.

“Up till 9am, the club was still on. They refused to remove their vehicles and Lagosians were seriously disturbed. Even Mr Governor was affected this morning. He had to manoeuvre his way through it.

“This man had been talked to many times, but he refused to listen. This morning, our patrol vehicles towed three vehicles out of that place so that people could pass.

“This honourable mobilised over 50 thugs to attack Maroko Police Station to move those vehicles out. We had to send reinforcement from neighbouring stations before they were able to curtail the situation. That was how he was arrested with five of the thugs, while others escaped. We had to exercise a lot of restraints.

“They have been moved to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, where they are being investigated.”

I don't think the case is closed as in the context you are thinking. This close here means the final argument/submission of the respondent. The prosecution will also close their case and then, the judge will deliver his or her judgement.

The prison term is actually a combined 133yrs on the different counts with the highest being 12yrs. He will stay in prison for only 12yrs because the sentences will run concurrently or whatever.

He first of all romances, use and then dump them.Orji Uzor Kalu, Lawal Babachir, Gandollar etc were morally corrupt but the so called most holy anti-corruption czar openly & shamelessly associated with them.

Orji Uzor Kalu had a corruption case ongoing before fleeing abroad after the same EFCC prosecuting him under Bubu gave him back his international passport.Guy man travelled to have an alleged surgery in ?Germany & started hiding under doctor advice to buy time & escape his trial.

The hypocritical Buhari government played along as if nothing happened.They subtly invoke a bench warrant for his arrest only for Kalu to show up thereafter to start a self-initiated marketing of the failure for re-election culminating in the Emir of Daura of Buhari home town giving him a chieftaincy title.

Buhari kept quiet without even rebuking the so called then corrupt but today convicted OUK while you were on NL here eulogizing this same crook.

So what moral right does Buhari have to be fighting corruption.Buhari will surely go to jail after ICC prosecution or for his own corruption when the fullness of time comes.

This tells you that Buhari loves hence legalized corruption.He only fight corruption that he does not like or has an interest in.
Some times we tend to forget that an accuse is presumed innocent till proven guilty.

It is also part of the fraudulent nature to try whip up the ethnic sentiment anytime your criminal folks are arrested. You guys now need to be ashamed of yourselves. When last Did you hear any Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw or any other tribe complain about some criminal amongst them being arrested. No one is victimising your tribe . It is your acceptance of criminal behaviour as a culture that keeps exposing you lots.
I said this in a previous thread. As a non Yoruba or Igbo, I have seem Igbos on nairaland defend any crime their kinsmen commit. Not the same with other tribes, in fact they tend to dissociate with the person. There are two ex governors in jail now due to corruption, card carrying APC members, and one never hears from their people about witch hunting. Just imagine if they were from south east

Does it mean you people don't actually read articles or read but fail to comprehend or are deliberately displaying bigotry? For your benefit of doubt the article says Andy took loans of up to 135b, refused to pay amcon took on him to recover the debt through properties Andy owned(mind you the confiscation of these properties took place in 2013, reminds me who was president then). Now for amcon to sell these properties Andy is playing underhand tactics, some properties inflated in value by him etc. That is why they file criminal charges against him. By the way, has efcc arrested Onyeama? the people that indicted him are Igbo friends, the US and not Nigeria.

Christianity EtcMan Sentenced To Death For Farting In Mosque During Ramadan by zikter(op): 12:41pm On Dec 03, 2019
faceofmalawi.com

A Pakistani judge has sentenced a man to be executed after he was expelled 17 times from 6 different mosques for excessive farting during the period of the Ramadan reports the Islamabad Herald this week.
The Ramadan is the most important religious festival for Muslims and the judge declared that he had indisposed people of the faith and even caused 53 people at one time to leave the mosque during a prayer, a “blasphemous act” which should be punished “according to Allah’s will.”

The judge was lenient, have admitted many experts in the region, as he gave the convicted man the choice of being beheaded or stoned to death.

“The law is clear,he should be stoned to death,beheading is a very light sentence and saves him from any suffering,” protested the government prosecutor.

Deputy District Public Prosecutor (DDPP) Syed Anees Shah told reporters the accused got a “very light sentence” for the crime of blasphemy.

Muhammad Al-Wahabi, 33, suffers from chronic flatulence, “a rare medical condition” he argued in his self-defense, as no lawyer would take his case.

“No lawyer is crazy enough to bet his career on this issue. If his client his condemned, as in this case, the lawyer would face prosecution and possibly the same faith as his client” admits legal expert Andrew Jones, a Middle Eastern law expert.

Al-Wahabi did not contest the judgment and even said the judgment was fair and that he hoped Allah would be gracious enough to pardon his blasphemous actions.

Al-Wahabi also admitted that he put a tampon in his rectum several times in a desperate attempt to mask the noise and odor.

“A disgraceful and insidious act” the judge declared, visibly disgusted.

“Muslims are not allowed to insert any objects inside their anus, not even a finger, it is forbidden by the Koran,” said the judge.

“As a judge, I must set an example for other Muslims. This is clearly unacceptable under Shariah law,” he concluded.

Al-Wahabi admitted to the judge he had failed his God, his religion, and his people and was terribly sorry for what he had done, and asked for his two wives and seven children’s mercy in court and thanked the judge for his verdict.
Car TalkRe: How Was Your First Driving Experience? by zikter(m): 9:04am On Dec 02, 2019
My experience: I did not attend any driving school, I learnt everything online from signage to watching YouTube. Of course I drive only automatic gear cars, I don't know how to drive manual.
So I bought my car, kept it for one month to finish registrations. After that I put what I learnt in to practicals with no tutor beside me. Just me in the car. I will drive in the compound practicing reverse and drive. One early saturday morning with less traffic, I drove straight on express from Oshodi to Iyana Ipaja. From there, I will practice around 5am when traffic is less. Now I can drive to anywhere. I drove for about 800km in a straight 14hrs drive with less than one year experience. it was fun anyway. @op is good you have a tutor, driving need you to be very bold and calm at the same time, be alert to your environment also and assume you are the only sane person on the road. All the best to your lessons as you try to be a good driver.

Am not siding with Mr. Onyema on this issue, but justice should always be blind to tribe or religion. A certain Senator from the Southwest was issued with an extradition request but none will f that came to pass. The same should be applied on Onyema’s situation. This is a clear issue of witch-hunt now
No you are totally wrong. Sen. Buruji extradition was challenged in court and he won the case. If Allen is to be extradited he will also be free to challenge it up to supreme court. By the way someone up there mentioned some people extradited and jailed in US, they are all southwest names.

I am not specific of the Allen Onyeama case.

I am speaking generally about business entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

Even most of them give bribe to get government official approve their license.

America ethical standard should not be used to judge a Nigeria or African standard.

As a business man in Nigeria there are many hurdles you cross to get things working successfully compared to the western democracy.

The same Allen Onyeama will go to China and do business without the Chinese asking him how he got his money.

President Muhammadu Buhari should apply wisdom in handling this case to protect Peace Airline and it strategic interest to the country economy.

The same American that is coughing and making Nigeria catch cold will not try this nonsense with Russia, China, Iran
I think you are missing a lot of things. My thinking is Allen's case is a bit different from other business men, because he is already indicted by the US. If for instance Adenuga got this kind of indictment, the steps taken in Allen's case will be taken as well for him. Yes the US can cough and we will catch cold because we are a developing nation that depends on them in so many ways, therefore the FG will be very stupid to do anything that can jeopardize the relationship. The consequences will be far harsher than say, an air peace folding. The last time I check, US has tried more "nonsense" to the countries you mentioned, trade war with China, Iran practically locked down with sanctions on country, individuals and businesses. For me EFCC has not done any wrong here. The right thing is for them to investigate the citizen indicted on massive money laundering. This will diplomatically place them on high moral ground for dealings with a "benefactor nation".

"The US court had since then issued a warrant to arrest Onyema and authorised US marshals service to bring him into custody."


If you ask me EFCC should take a chill Pill for the now and allow US finish what they started, so that we can get to the root of this.. At least we can be sure of transparency, and no religion/tribal factor as well as political leaning playing or interfering with the process am not saying EFCC is guilty of the bolded.

God bless Nigeria.
From what I understand up there, the US cannot finish what they started without EFCC's involvement most likely. Extradition may be needed if he is to stand trial in US, as he may not voluntarily go there to face charges. That can be achieved only through EFCC. Apart from that, it is also compelling for EFCC to initiate their investigations too, more so that the money involved took flight from Nigeria. It is only when they investigate and press charges as applicable that the US may be able to initiate any extradition process. In any case, the man has a huge problem on his hands.
