While I seem to see holes in this story maybe more coverups to save face of the woman I feel so much done carelessly
How can you visit a man and go to a room to deliver a message alone?
She was wrapped in bed sheet and he was unclad and nothing was said about the cloth being torn?
She was beaten as there were marks to show but police would have still gone ahead to subject her to medical test to prove if forced penetration and fluid on his in her at least to have someone better to get conviction on as if he gets a good lawyer I fear for this case or even able to establish there was any form of communication of even him wooing her and she knowing about that still went on to meet him at the hotel.
Let me not also assume this is a case of setup as without me even knowing either of them or the pre events could think of that then look at the judge. You were a victim of rape and beaten and you were concious enough to send a message and couldnt call? The hotel had chairs and items and you never attempted to break the door when he was away and your life depended on how much noise you make and you had such chances.
I have my doubts about this story really as much is not said but whatever my opinion is I pray the law finds a way to deal with this man for raising his hand on a woman and I pray God saves this woman's marriage because I know how some men think even after finding their woman unclad with another man

I have never seen a party as slow as the PDP(Note am no fan of either)
You wonder why PDP lack the initiative to sponsor observers and not just party agents, if possible get them from abroad like happened in Rivers State, and present them to court if there is need to.
But then again I realized each of these parties wait for the other to sleep a second and they will implement all tricks their little brains can come up with.
The authenticated list will be given to stakeholders, right before then I expect a party interested in wining an election to monitor the distribution of PVCs and report irregularities. If you can give us covert live coverages of irregularities at voting points and let us hear arm agents of govenment harmed your agents, but again their agents cannot even be trusted. We hear of distribution of monies by parties even at Kogi but not even a party showed us a clip.
is it that opposition do not know what to do or are just plain empty upstairs?

Practical example of when you have a registrar without a training in educational leadership, only appointed and post had no competition and there is no performance evaluation.
No student deserves to be expelled without facing a board.
But then again its RSUST, this school has all it takes to be excellent in all but it cannot like a curse is on it.
Go to the school and look at the year 1 lectures, its a shame. Lectures held at convocation arena with handheld microphone having all departments in engineering in ONE class, doing what learning physics and chemistry they passed in waec, only from year 2 classes are separated but each class still has about 3 departments in one class except at 300 and 400.
I keep asking,where are their graduates really?

Dear Ma'am,

While we wait for him to makeup his mind to accept medical solution or divinity arrives I always tell people things I expected they would find out and not have to wait for anyone to tell them.
Even in the worst medical dysfunction pre-intimacy is always adviced, even adults get vibrators if they feel its ok to explore that to get more and the partner would be the one to use it on her not herself.
Also I understand the urge and he is slowing things down for you, but even when he is down so quickly, in the same mood cuddle up until he comes backup. The rejection alone is frustrating for you too,as while you are offended and lay by yourself he is on the other side feeling dejected and less of a man.
Even with easy women and when youths date who are really sexually active, if the man does cu-m before her, the play starts till he is back up and trust me most confess the 2nd is better than first.
I encourage you to patiently play this out on the bed as illustrated and not let this kill your joy,as if it does what's the essence of the who commitment?
Learn the art of pre-play and become good at being comfortable with him,xplore the other and have fun, if the other party comes in the heat, work the other party back to tune. And for Gods sake stop expecting and have fun. In all understand when you both need quikee and full session. Get creative and not all the time every penetration has to last 30mins from penetration , and its meant to be fun not judgement of performance. Wish you luck really

realborn:
In a very sane country, the media will be all over the plane at least for 3 days, carrying out fact finding investigations on the cause, speaking to industry experts, statutory regulatory officials/stakeholders, passengers etc.

Here in Nigeria, it ends as a near miss reported on LindaBlog, VivianGist and Nairaland.

Tough, very tough to comprehend the country we live in!

Because like every sector the media has a prize, they are lazy and stink with corruption.
You need to go in and see how much they coverup. Nothing is reported anymore and you wonder if those days when they were alleged to have reported anything whether they really did or was just showing they can fight dirty when you dont settle them.
They are the only agency that survives on blackmail . If I am not correct ask them to give up sound report on state of primary and secondary school toilets over the country, ask them to show us the police surveilance and effort for night travelers on LAG-PH road or Abuja-Kano route not to talk of far north. Ask them to do a documentary on the health status of the average police/miliary officer and compare environmental sanitation at their barracks. Or ask them to give us the documentary of the facilities at primary health centers at Lagos or Sokoto and many other pressing issues, rather they use one month to report on Amaechi vs Wike

I think that the operational practice of sealing is wrong.
If you gave someone a licence to import and he lands and stores and refuses to dispense or even at the stations, these agencies should approach the houses to amend the act authorising them to take over the landed stored products whereever they are in Nigeria,pay off and distribute. For filling stations, takeover operations after 3hrs of notice to owners to operate or risk takeover, afterall even Central Bank and other regulators change invade firms they regulate and even sacks boards.
A man shots his station or storage and the worst you think you can do is go seal it,how does that help the masses who you seek to help? If they are charged a fine,what project does that serve that the masses will benefit from.
I really do not get this

I had to click on this link to check if this was really a newspaper link.
News outlets are worse than our politicians.
Whenever our democracy has been threatened it has always been the news guys instigating it and when the uniform guys step in they are the first to shout victims.
Why dont we atleast wait and see the outcome of the appeals and if the election finally holds, we all should atleast go to Rivers as observers rather than rant online at the other. I have pledege to fly into Rivers anyday election holds to report personally and take pics and record videos of events at elections. This none of the parties ever did.
Why is everyone more interested in Rivers even more than the Rivers people? Not even any of the news has gone to atleast 5 of the 23 local governments to interview anyone on the street. Then I remember news in Nigeria has a prize, every agency of government and business is blackmailed, and you must surrender envelops at month end or they start to write negative stories about you, no staff can even leak any information and live to tell.
The painful part is the youth are online threatening the other over something as election in Rivers state,am not happy at all.This is insane

Something urgently needs to be done about Abuja's security system.The last 2years has been terrible.When stories of even car theft at National Assembly parking lot.Officers at every junction from 9pm are asking Oga how the night go be now?You dont Park at Area 1 at night or go to a garden anymore for sit out.Satellite towns are nightmare as robbery can last 2-4hours no security shows up and people have to Niger boys using charms to watch the areas.It's getting sad

Sometimes I tend to wave some of the relationship issues I see as factor of our environment.Living in Nigeria is unique and so must be the relationships.We need to look at each not generalize as the way the lower class still maintain their sanity in general life beats me.

Contributing to your list as a male I will advise,ladies should stop giving in to a man's bed desires with that mindset that he wants it.A male needs to see you have fun like he wants thats what makes its mind blowing if not its boring and most of these issues tie to se.x. Wonder why some of these issues also climax after birth,I know post natal depression exist but maturity sometimes is allowing who wants to help know where to start,some men and even women qt a point will even ask,ok what should I do?Its ok for a partner to be confused but the party must ask for direction and each party must bear responsibility.

I have to sum this way as no 2 are same and no single rule applies

That is one thing about law,open to different interpretation,that is why there are courts my friends,let the parties play out their fight legally but we shouldn't take sides.
None of them know exactly how this will end hoping.
I know one thing for sure,this is the drama of politicians that always spoiled our democracy,like joke one year is gone and the remaining three is wasted and the sound vision they has at campaign needs another tenure and even if they win,the fight continues as someone must be the enemy.While Nigerians fund their insane vision which if they were thesis no Professor would agree to supervise

All posts that instigate hate and seem to have a negative agenda deserve to be trashed immediately and author banned.
I was like how could she only to read it and saw what really played out.Ignorance is when an author who is not knowledgeable in a subject writes about it with hate.Though most Nigerians would believe anything but must we go this low? This was the purpose of that degree in 1984 which people blamed,it didn't say write I will jail you it said wrong unverified or wrongly and you are jailed.The author and op couldnt even tell us scenario or practice of two planes one already cleared to land and another about to take off because hate made him not even know reason those airplanes starts only at ground level only and even must taxi before takeoff
