Omihanifa:
The percentage varies from 5% to 10% depending on the State and it's going to be paid to the state government where the letter of adminstration is made and approved

It is not the bank that charge percentage on amount. It is the court that issue the Letters of Administration (LA).

In most cases, it is time to make payment of the LA and the beneficiaries cannot raise the amount, the Court will usually direct the Bank to debit the account in that sum in favour of the State Government.

So it is only in that instance that the Bank will be entitled to debit the account. The Bank is not a beneficial of the deceased Estate so they have no right to charge the account.

As brilliant as the Hon. Speaker may have sounded. I doubt, if the Clerk of the House has the power to engage the services of a private legal practitioner to initiate a criminal complaint of perjury against the Minister without the fiat of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice first sought and obtained.

This has brought again to the fore, the long years of call for bifurcation (splitting) of the Office of Attorney General from that of the Minister of Justice.

The same National Assembly in all the past amendments of the Constitution have shut their eyes over the from this call.

Now the chicken has come home to roost.

This in my humble opinion may be another jamboree or as the guys in entertainment will call it, another series in a season film.

Let's enjoy it!

NOW THIS IS MY FREE LEGAL ADVISE, YOU DON'T NEED TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK WITH YOU LANDLORD. IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE APARTMENT BY MARCH, PAY ONLY TILL MARCH. BY LAW ONCE YOU PAY THE RENT OVER AND ABOVE THE PERIOD OF THE QUIT NOTICE I.e. beyond March, the NOTICE ISSUED BY THE LAWYER AUTOMATICALLY becomes invalid. If he still want to eject you, he must issue a fresh notice.

ALSO NOTE that a Notice To Quit is NOT RENT FREE. Even if you are given a Notice to Quit, you are bound to pay till the last day you leave the apartment. I have always advise tenants on this. Owing a landlord and running away with his rent, is not been smart, it will come back to you except you don't want to be landlord.
NO LAW ALLOWS YOU TO SPEND A DAY IN ANOTHER 'S HOUSE WITHOUT PAYING, GOVERNMENT DID NOT BUILD FOR ANYBODY, SO THEY CAN'T MAKE SUCH LAW.

I laugh, except Ashimolowo was an eye witness. Calling big names as witness won't establish the case in anyway, however, calling a witness on *sub-peona a testificandum* is even more dangerous in this kind of case. The lawyers should be wise.

We are still at 'pencil production' stage in 2019?

I wonder if the products will be needed in the market in the next 20years. I don't know how they think.

The earlier Nigerian realise that these "celebrities" perpetuate media hypes to continue to be on the lips of the public, the better. Sometimes ago one actually showed up in my office on a claim that he was harassed by the Police, even before he arrived at my office, it was everywhere on the social media that "he is already with his lawyers and they are taking the case up" When he eventually arrived after like 2hours, he couldn't tell me what happened. He was only shouting "it is trending on social media, this is good publicity".

I will even be surprised if they are able to frame any charge against him. You can only be convicted of a crime where there is evidence and there is no single doubt in your favour. From the story of that lady, the only evidence is her oral testimony. The Evidence of whoever she narrated the event to between then and now can at best be "hearsay" which has no value in law. She won't be able to establish the ingredient of whatever offence the Police might want to frame against the Pastor if there is no confession. Yes it took her time to come out to say it (if it actually happened), she delayed in getting justice, and surely she will be denied. Am more afraid for her. It will be better for the matter to die now, if not, if a charge is frame and the Pastor is prosecuted and discharged, she might need to wake FRA Williams from the grave to get her out of the huge damages that will follow, when the Pastor starts his own suit against her. I expect her lawyers to have told her this.

My training in Counter Terrorism taught me that Radicalism is when you challenge establish State structures and systems with your religious or cultural believes.

If you have agreed to live in a secular state, you give up certain believe system to accommodate other people. If you cannot abide by it, You are Radical

I owe you no responsibility to declare to you my relationship with her, and please note is not all that stays with you is a maid if the person is not your biological child.
To your other question she said thank you, [/b]but complained how she was offered and made to drink the water.
so please stop to assume on behalf of someone

Your narration of the conversation between your "daughter" and "the girl" did not show that your daughter ever said "thank you" when the water was given you her. However, when you were confronted with your daughter's attitude, you engaged a summersault that your daughter said "Thank you". Your response cast serious doubt to the [b]truth of your earlier statement and I does not require any consideration.

A Notice to Quit is not rent Free. It is meant to let you know in advance that the Landlord do not intend to continue the tenancy relationship with
at the expiration of the Notice.

You are to pay for every time spent in another's property, even to the fraction of days if the landlord wishes to collect it. Just as an employer is bound to pay an employee for every day/hour he/she showed up at work to the date of termination of employment even after giving him/her notice of termination. You are bound to pay your landlord for everyday on his property.

Unfortunately legal practice particularly in Nigeria of today don't celebrate certificate or institution attended. What determines your pay is what you can offer.

Of what benefit is your Masters Degree in Maritime law from UK, if you can't draft a good pleading or conduct a trial in a maritime case.
