Does it matter? Ain't gonna change his or your mind. So what make you think my stand on divorce can affect yours. The shoe is only worn by the owner and so we don't know how to help you judge. Simply list all your errs and then hers and then we'll help you with a closed verdict

Why limit me to just these few options of your poll? My reason is not listed in what you've got

Hello,

I certainly believe NL can do much more than debate online concerning issues that evolves around us and this means, if we can for once break the record of taking our decisions and discussions out of the net into the streets of Nigeria and particularly Abia State and straight to the Government House and make our plea and intentions know on this issue i have raised here. I want to believe that this man has a better life out here in the community than in the walls of Aba prison where he is being detained innocently. Please NL, can we help this situation?

18 April 2008

Patrick Okoroafor was just 14 years old when he was arrested in May 1995. Two years later, he was sentenced to death for robbery, along with six others. He did not have the right to appeal and was reported to have been tortured while in police detention.

In 2001, his sentence of death was pronounced “illegal, null and void”, but he was never released. He remains locked up "during the pleasure of the Governor of Imo State" (at the discretion of the Imo State Governor) - effectively in indefinite detention - in Aba prison, Abia state, having spent almost half his life in detention.

“Patrick only went to the police station because the police wanted to inspect a car our mother had bought from one of the other suspects. That is when they arrested him. We tried to get him released, but the police refused,” says his brother. He claims Patrick was tortured by the Nigerian police, who beat him and pulled out his teeth with pliers.

Along with one of the six other co-defendants, Chidiebere Onuoha, who was 15 at the time of arrest, Patrick petitioned for clemency on grounds of age. On 18 July 1997, Patrick's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment but Chidiebere Onuoha and the five other men were publicly executed.

Prison has also had serious consequences for Patrick's health; he suffers from asthma attacks described by prison authorities as "frequent and life-threatening" and his condition "worsens daily".

In November 2001, Patrick pleaded for pardon, writing: "The tribunal ritual was a nightmare to me because I’m totally innocent of the charges levelled against me, I have spent these years of undeserved incarceration crying, praying and reading…” His plea was rejected by the Imo State Governor in March 2002.

Amnesty International, along with the Nigerian Bar Association and Nigerian NGOs, has called for his release.

@Mod
If you really care about HIStory what about our gone hero Ferlie

Seun:

Read the ruling carefully. 
It's not illegal for anyone to discuss the case.   
It's illegal for Civil Rights Congress to do so.
Why can't people read; even journalists?

With this ^^ i guess and my understanding of the ruling it does not stop me either from discussing this? But why are they scared of the fact that someone is trying to remind the Sharia Judges they have failed so far

Hey i found the link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=372845616580&ref=mf

@Topic
If your female finds it hard to believe you and all efforts are turned down, then you can always move on. After all, your mind is sure clear about this, but are you folks just dating that she doesn't trust you so much not to do something as nasty as those folks deed?

@Topic
I well guess the Pastor is looking for his place in the Nigerian Politics. However, he has never seen anything quite clear about Nigeria's future and he looks from a murky eye. I used to think the Bible has a portion of Judge Not! For you shall be judge and i wonder who made a judge? I could as well say he is only assuming that those names he mentioned are trying to lobby but i suddenly believe he could make his point if his facts are made public and well known to most of us.

Well, i am used to his empty noises and can't he just show us the Secretariat the have obtained?

stephen2:

@MAMA GEE,you must be a silly woman to call Wole a coward,
if you must know,he never ed obj in anyting, Okay,so get that into your thick skull,even when obj was still in power,he gave an award to Wole,but being a man of integrity he rejected it BLUNTLY.
Now tell me,where the heck did u get your story from about Soyinka ing obj?or are you one of those nigerians who go about [b]writting [/b]rubbish?
Get you OT straighten up for the first time COCK SUCKER!!!, *HISS*

Indeed you are number one of those few Nigerians that type with errors. You can always make your point or reaction without insults. Live up to your age please.

ode remo:

oops . only yoking
i am not in the right frame of mind now to tackle you cos i have things doing , but soyinka afraid, pls spare me that. laters.

I know you were yoking about the name. I suggest you take your time and when you are through with what you're doing, i would want to see your defense. I certainly don't know what makes it hard for you to believe that he is a human being and fear could run down his spine like hot blood

ode remo:

i hope you are not implying that the man is afraid?Drunk

The name is Drunk. Not Klint d Drunk

~Bluetooth:

mama-gee blunder has toatally derailed this thread,that girl really need some spanking.Back to topic,i wouldnt say obasanjo is a hypocrite or not but imo i would rather say obasanjo was not the leader we deserved in 1999 but the only one we could get at the time by the decision of the northern generals who preferred an ex-military rather than the radical democrats at the time.after the decision of abdul salam to handover to democrat,the north went out looking for a yoruba that would protect their interests and there was no other person they could trust than obasanjo particularly because of his closeness to late sheu yaradua who as at then had formed the PDM now turned PDP.after the election,obasanjo played along with the north,virtually all the ex-generals were rewarded with ministerial posts,board ,oil well,juicy contracts that were never done,ambassadorial posts and so many other forms of benefit.obasanjo could do less in the first term of his tenure to combat corruption due to the fragility of the polity even though he retired a lot of military personnel then.after his re-election he created the anti-corruption agencies to neutralize the excesses in the istration.most of the monies for the power projects,road projects and other uncompleted projects were awarded during his first tenure,he had no option then than to dance to the tune of the northerners.the bottomline of my long story is that  even though obasanjo should take responsibilty for the failure of his government,there is the need to anlayse the surrounding circumstances that made him failed.the north always prefer a welfarist as the president,someone who will dash out contracts and turn the other way round without asking questions.i wouldnt want to dispute soyinka's view but what i will like to ask prof is that as a former chairman of frsc,why did he failed woefully.

Quite lengthy but then you could make your point quite clearer and precise. However, i am in of Mama-gee and this is dependent on her view of Soyinka. Well, we all are not saints and can't be but Soyinka is just trying to portray himself as one. I am a fan of his but i would really not the name calling on OBJ even as i am not a 100% er of OBJ. Soyinka can do more to the blabbing he is making over news. What makes him think his active contribution to the growth or development of the country can't be felt if he can do more than just press statements and releases. IBB is Soyinka's best pal and yet things where wrongly done during IBB's years as Head of State. Can he explain what happened to the education contracts that were awarded to him (Soyinka) during IBB's year? Why was he not a strong critic of OBJ while he was in powers? Why is he just making noise now? Most importantly, he has also made Yar'adua's health issue and handover a center for his attention. Other parts of the country's issues are there and very much important than one sick man's health and handover. As far as i am concerned Soyinka can do better than what he is doing now. You could be a potential Hypocrite too

I remain Drunk

Hey, what is that song again? _{***Ok, Love is Blind, it takes over your mind, bla bla***}

Brother marries sister
By Chioma Igbokwe

Saturday, February 20, 2010
It could be described as a taboo for siblings to marry one another, but Anthonia and Victor in desperate bid to secure UK visa decided to be known and addressed as husband and wife. On the fateful day, January 28, 2008, Anthonia dressed in a flowing white gown, marched to the Ojo marriage registry with Victor to be ed as husband and wife. This was done in a bid to convince the British High Commission to grant them a visiting visa since they can never meet the criteria needed to secure such visa.

With the aid of a naval officer, (Kayode Olaniyan) they were able to secure forged documents, which portrayed them as highly placed individuals in Nigeria. The expectation was that the forged document would guarantee them a visiting visa, and they applied to spend two weeks in UK.

To further convince the BHC, they went along with their wedding photograph, especially where they were cementing their ‘marriage’ with a kiss. Bubble however bust on February 16 when the British High Commission that was not aware the ‘couple’ is related by blood discovered that the bank statement presented was slightly altered. They alerted the police at the Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi who in turn dispatched an officer to stand by for any possible arrest.

Unknown to them that their game was up, the BHC invited the ‘couple’ for a final interview, where they would be issued a visa. They were careful to ensure that they appeared in uniformed attire so that the difference would not be spotted. ersby commended their choice of spouse as they looked alike. In the visa section, holding each other closely they stepped into the interview room. The man meant to interview them enquired if they had a swell time on Sunday being Valentine. They were still waiting for their Visa to be issued when the police arrested them for forgery. They were arrested alongside the visa racketeer, Kayode Olaniyan who is alleged to have forged the entire document used for the act.

The PRO SFU, CSP Akan, explained that when Victor discovered that the game was up, he shouted that the man (Kayode) who gave them the document was waiting outside to collect the balance as soon as they collect their approved visa. Unknown to Kayode, the game was up; he was arrested where he was waiting for the balance as soon as the deal clicks. In the course of interrogation, ready to vomit all the illegal things, they have done, Victor confessed that Anthonia was not his wife but his blood sister.

Victor told Saturday Sun that he was tired of struggling to survive in Nigeria that was why he quickly grabbed the opportunity when Kayode promised to assist them to travel out. “He gave us instances of people who he had travelled as ‘couple’. He requested that we should pay N900,000 for the deal but we ended up paying N180,000 with the promise to pay up as soon as the visa is granted.

“He promised that it was easier for couple to be granted visa so we quickly bought the idea to pose as couple. Part of the criteria was to get married, he arranged and we paid at the Ojo marriage registry. He also got some document which shows that I am a marine engineer, working in a company where I am paid more N300,000 monthly. I am an OND student of Lagos State Polytechnic where I am studying Banking and Finance.

I am not a marine engineer and do not have an in WEMA Bank. I have never attended Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island. My real names are Ayeye Victor Adejobi. My younger sister who posed as my wife is Antonia Ayeye. Nebelisa is not my father’s name at all. Kayode gave us the surname ‘Nebelisa’ and instructed that we should obtain the port. He took us to Ado Ekiti where we obtained the port in the name of ‘Nebelisa’.”

When asked how he felt, kissing his sister, Victor said: “ It was disgusting but then I had no choice. I felt very bad knowing that it is an abomination, but because we wanted results, we had to comply. Take a look at the picture it will show that I was not comfortable with what I was doing.” Anthonia saw herself as an actress that was why she was very comfortable when it was time to kiss the bride.

On why she decided to embark on such mission, Anthonia explained that she did it to better her life and would not hesitate do whatever it took to get to the promised land. “I am a stylist and my office is located at Onobotubon Street, off Asho Street, Benin. Victor is my blood brother from the same father and mother. We were introduced to Kayode by a family friend who claimed that he has assisted a lot of people to secure UK visa.”

She explained that: “one of the ways to perfect the plan was to marry my brother, Victor. I saw that as a mere act, since I know that I am not married to my brother in real life. As agreed he took us to the marriage registry at Ojo, Lagos, to get married. At the end we were issued a marriage certificate. To perfect the business, he said we are to pay N900,000, but we managed to drop N180,000 as part payment. I am single and still searching ”

Their rip-off games man, Olaniyan, was not satisfied with his pay in the Navy and he chose to go into visa racketeering to add to his monthly salary. With his experience in the Navy, he was able to reproduce documents used to facilitate his clients’ visa requests, which depict the applicants as having military background.

Kayode who lives at No. 42 Olajumoke Street, Ikotun, Lagos, claimed that he ed the Nigerian Navy in 2005, and still works in the Navy. He explained that he knew his clients “through a family friend of mine, Tunde who told me that they were desperate to travel out of the country. I was the one who arranged for the forged marine documents and marine certificate of competency.

I brought the sample and it was reproduced just like the original document. I then hired the services of a good forger, Isaac, who brought the bank statement, sales receipt and the other documents that were presented. I asked them to pay, N900,000 to process the document which they agreed to but I only collected N180,000 based on the agreement that I would receive the balance at the end of the business. I would have collected the remaining sum today if the visa was issued.”

To the amazement of the British High Commission, Victor presented a document showing that he is working at the Durba Shipping (DNL). He also furnished the Commission with an internal memo approving 30 days annual leave, payment slip indicating a monthly salary of N310,000, letter of employment showing that he was employed as 2nd Engineer with effect from May 12, 2003 and a letter of introduction from the company. Victor further gave the Commission a certificate of Federal College of Fisheries and Marine Technology, Victoria Island Lagos.

Anthonia, the hair stylist on her part appeared before the interview claiming that she is CEO/Chairman of the Emmanuel Sidah Ventures. She presented an introduction letter of herself as the owner of the company. Also in her custody was a document from the Corporate Affairs Commission showing when the business was ed. This document was a certificate to authenticate the registration of the business.
