Salvage:

You said "Richard R aped Ofunneka. Period" . Then you said but the case is not against Richard but Big Brother.

So what are you talking about? Ofunneka should sue Big brother for R ape or what?
My goodness, you are a lawyer yes but I understand that suits and cases are about superiour arguement. Yse you can claim she was R aped but another lawyer can also disprove that.

Its not if you say so then its so.

The Mnet people also have lawyers and they have looked at that video and assured MNET that their is no case.

No be must say we go accept spora's quote nor try to understand your *grammar*.

@Salvage
In an earlier post, i had said that the suit would not be against Richard the penniless student, but against the promoters of Big Brother. In that post i clearly stated the cause of action against Big Brother to be "negligence causing loss of reputation." When i said the case would be against Big Broher, that was what i was referring to. In fact i clearly stated the reason why the case would be against Big Brother thus "for failing to intervene when it became obvious that the situation was degenerating beyond safe levels." That would clearly spell negligence to a legal mind but maybe it would not be quite as clear to a layman. But my placing the two sentences next to one another without referring to the previous post was misleading. I apologize.

Yes indeed,superior arguments are what make a case. They are also what make those legal TV shows you've been watching so enthralling. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work that way in real life. In law, a drunk person is deemed incapable of consenting to sexual contact. If you have sex with your girlfriend (with whom you've had consensual sex in the past) while she is drunk, she has you down fo r a p e, believe me.

As for Mnet's lawyers, Salvage. Salvage. Salvage.

Tell me honestly if this seems like a likely scenario:

Mnet Executive: So, you've viewed the footage. What do you think our liability, if any, is?
Mnet Lawyer: My goodness. What on earth were you thinking letting things get that far? That dreadlocked guy was r a p i n g two drunk women and you stood there beaming it live to all of Africa? How stupid can you get? Look, you're so liable that your grandkids are going to need lawyers to get out of this mess.

Is that a likely scenario? Of course not. Mnet's Lawyers are bound to defend Mnet whether they like it or not.; whether they know they are liable or not. It is part of our professional ethics; you must comfort your client and present him with the most reasonable assessment of his chances of victory. but lawyers often tend to go overboard with these assessments, promising victory in the hope that the client will be motivated to motivate them financially. It's all about money for the lawyers. You think they give a rat's ass whether Mnet is liable or not? In any case they're going to get paid. So they'll say what the client needs to hear so the case goes to court. In our unlikely scenario above, the client would immediately look towards a settlement, and that won't earn the lawyers any fees. It's in the lawyers' interest to say there is no case and go battle it out in court.

I would have thought you would have gotten it by now. The law says you cannot have sexual relations with a drunk woman because she is incapable of giving her consent. Abi make i type am for french too?

@LC
Please write it in French! But you can be rest assured we might not have heard about it but the issue would have been settled, considering the megamillions MNET made on the show, there has to be part 3!

lawyerchap:

Make i type am for french too?

Nah! Latin will do.

I think all arguements on "Fingergate" should end here now cos it's crystal clear from a Lawyer's honest point of view

Tampico, i sent you a mail. Did you get it, cos i'm yet to get a response from you.

Wat's up wit u guys anyway?

I was here today!

Tampico, whats up,

Apparently, Big Brother Africa has been banned in Nigeria: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-93781.0.html

I really wanna be there too but something came up and i won't make it. Abeg make we move the date na

Spice girl:

Tampico, i sent you a mail. Did you get it, because i'm yet to get a response from you.

@Spice girl
Hey you. Wassap? Tampico appears to be having difficulty receiving your mail. Perhaps you're still making a mistake in her address. Perhaps you should send me the mail and i'll forward it to her. My email address is lawyerchap007@yahoo.com. I don't want you to miss the reunion since you are a kindred spirit to me. Please do send it ASAP so i can get it to her before the close of work today.

kaydee:

@Tampico
What's with all these people decamping? Salsera is out of the country,Tommyex is travelling somewhere, Kaydee too has things to do and people to see (or is it things to see and people to do? ). Wetin dey worry dem? Have you heard from Uchetobi? As for Spice girl, i think the fact that she has indicated her interest so unequivocally should suffice. You can pencil down her name, perhaps use one of our absentees money to 'block' her space, and on that day collect cash from her. But that's only if she doesn't succeed in reaching you today. How was your weekend?

@9ja4eva
From the noises coming out of her circle of friends, i'm thinking it's going to be a foregone conclusion. She can't not sue. There is just no option.

Gud morning all, ow was ur weekend, i op u guys had fun?

Where the heck is everyone today?

LC, i wonda o

Hello All,

This is to reduce your . I'm here!!!!! . today is Monday that's why. Have a blessed week.

LC, sent you a mail. Did you get it?

Spice girl:

Busy as hell!
LC, sent you a mail. Did you get it?

Spice, yeah i got it. Busy as hell too. Will give you a call when these client service people get off my case.

lawyerchap:

I wonder if this dude read his Bible at all. These are the signs of the end time, my bros!
Hmmmmmmmm. Good bye BBA 2 thread. Good bye!

LMAO! 

Actually, No good lawyer would dare utter that to his client, its all about the pay & also the stuff they are made of.
Really, Lawyers are supposed to be daring, take up the challenge even when it is seemingly impossible.

I do not think Ofunneka wants to sue though, according to Saturday Punch Headline she states there that "I HAVE NO REGRETS"  So Homegirl won't be needing 'em Matlock or Ally Mcbeal. 

spora:

Guys!! the topic is closed really but with a few days to our reunion it is only natural that we rub minds here.

Salsera - Yeah, we know your trip is an inevitable one, we would still hook up though.

Tommyex - WHATEVER!!! Just be there on that day.  Your excuse no hold water.

Kaydee - I don't get it, Is something chasing you or you are chasing something. Even if its an hour, You need to be there LIVE!!! PLEASE!!!! ( _{The babe go understand)} 

Spora - I hope say you too no get any excuse because i can't wait to "Unmask the Clown." 

Uchetobi - Please if you still cannot get thru to T, why not follow the same pattern as Spicegirl. PLEASE!!!!!. 

No more excuses y'all, am outter here.

Honey, don't forget that what was reproduced in the Punch on Saturday was the Interview with Big Brother, not an independent interview with Punch. At the end of that interview, you will notice that she says "i'm still waiting to see the footage" meaning she hadn't seen it yet when she said "No Regrets." If she could cry so much when Richard told her he kissed her, she cannot say "no regrets" when she sees the footage. Trust me, we haven't heard the last of this.

Lawyer chap,
You are right. i noticed most of the interviews in the tabloids are from the press conference they had and is posted on BBA website.
So i know we have not heard the last of this, let her come back home first.

spora:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Meamwhile, Ofunneka is expected back home on Friday 16th November. Already, Multichoice Nigeria, subscription managers of the DSTV bouquet in the country, have lined up series of events to herald her home coming.

On arrival she would be guest to a handful of television and radio live programmes designed to enable her interact with teeming fans.

aysometin:

So i know we have not heard the last of this, let her come back home first.

You mean Homegirl is not home yet?? So where the hell did Spora get his information from? abi him don turn radio without wire? PEOPLE who knows if Ofunneka is back home?

@ All

Only if y'all know how much i wanna be there to strangle everyone with a diff opinion from mine.Lol!!!!!!!! I really miss Chucky on this thread.
@ Ndi
Every November or December,We(My Family) go to I.B for the family harvest in Grandpa's church(Anglican). I've dodged it for 2years and they're on my neck that i must not miss this one now. They close late in that church.

@ Tampico
I didn't call as promised cos of what came up and i'm still fighting it. I'll call 2mrw to let u know where i stand.

i hail oh

The reunion is gonna be the BOMB.

Ndi:

She is back home but the point is that Saturday Punch interview was not an independent interview with Homegirl and doesn't represent her present stance on the events of October 27th.

Goodmorning all!

@LC
Thanks dear for that info, i did not see anything on Telly about her homecoming or welcome back party maybe i did not look very well.

@Kaydee
