@omaakatugba@olisaemeka_G The picture only show growth, not because of professional football.
If you post your own picture of 10years ago, you will see alot of difference, even if you live in Nigeria. Just keep working hard and pray you click into the system at right time.
@clyyd17@blackveron Grassroots ftball has turn to something else, yahoo yahoo is making our players unserious. I think I blame the parents more, once ur son decide to play football, you abandon him and ask a total stranger to take responsibility of his housing and feeding.
For trial lawyers, whenever the prosecution refuses to serve you a document as part of the Proof of Evidence in a matter, ensure you apply to the Court to direct the State to serve you.
Where you try to make it an issue on appeal, the Appellate Court will refer to the Record of Appeal to confirm whether the application was ever made at the trial Court.
You may hinge your application on Sections 350(2) of the ACJA or 36(6)(b) of the Constitution.
You are welcome.
BAIL CONDITIONS SHOULD NOT UNDERMINE THE ESSENCE OF BAIL
In recent times, we have observed with growing concern a disturbing trend in the administration of criminal justice in Nigeria, where courts and law enforcement agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, EFCC, ICPC, and other security agencies, increasingly impose bail conditions that are excessive, impractical, and difficult to satisfy. The frequent insistence on sureties who are senior civil servants of specified grade levels, coupled with demands for landed properties of extraordinary value, has in many cases transformed bail from a mechanism for securing attendance at trial into a tool of pretrial detention. The consequence is that many persons who are constitutionally presumed innocent and have ostensibly been granted bail remain incarcerated because the conditions attached to their release are beyond their reach. This troubling development undermines the constitutional right to personal liberty, weakens the presumption of innocence, and defeats the very essence and purpose of bail within our criminal justice system.
We consider it necessary to reiterate that bail is a constitutional safeguard designed to secure the attendance of an accused person at trial while preserving his or her liberty pending the determination of guilt or innocence. It is neither a punishment nor a mechanism for imposing pre-trial incarceration by indirect means. The law is settled that bail conditions must be reasonable, practical, and capable of being fulfilled by the accused person.
The Supreme Court, in Suleman & Anor v. Commissioner of Police, Plateau State (2008), emphasized that the object of bail pending trial is to grant pre-trial freedom to an accused person whose appearance in court can be secured through appropriate conditions. Bail is not intended to create insurmountable obstacles that make release impossible.
We are particularly concerned by the increasing tendency to impose conditions that are disconnected from prevailing economic realities and often impossible to satisfy. Conditions requiring sureties who are serving civil servants on specific salary grades, ownership of landed properties of extraordinary value, or other burdensome requirements effectively convert the grant of bail into a denial of bail.
Of particular concern is the continued insistence in some cases on sureties who must be senior civil servants, often on Grade Levels 16 or 17, and who must own properties worth hundreds of millions of naira. Such conditions have been strongly criticised by the appellate courts.
In Dasuki v. Director-General, State Security Service & Ors (2019) LPELR-49182 (CA), the Court of Appeal unequivocally condemned the practice of involving serving public officers as a mandatory category of sureties. The Court observed that such requirements are unknown to civilised legal systems and run contrary to public service regulations. The Court further noted that expecting a public servant on Grade Level 16 to own property worth N100 million would not only be unrealistic but could also conflict with public service rules and anti-corruption objectives.
The Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, is equally clear on this issue. Section 165(1) provides that while the grant and conditions of bail are within the discretion of the court, such conditions must not be excessive. Judicial discretion, though wide, must always be exercised judiciously, reasonably, and in a manner consistent with constitutional guarantees.
We therefore restate that bail conditions must be tailored solely to ensure attendance at trial. They must never serve as instruments of punishment prior to conviction. Conditions that cannot be met amount in substance to a refusal of bail and contribute directly to pre-trial detention and congestion in correctional facilities.

@blackveron If you're not playing, go to another team that will give you a playing time, without playing time, you will never develop and make proper progress. Some academies have over 35 players in their team, how do you monitor progress, even if you have 4 coaches
Every woman who wants a successful relationship needs to understand male nature.
Men and women are not equal.
Men will:
• Stay silent when hurt.
• Think deeply but show less.
• Test loyalty through actions.
• Observe more than they speak.
• Lose interest when unappreciated.
• Avoid vulnerability as it’s high-risk.
• Stop explaining when misunderstood.
• Value peace of mind over attention.
• Distance themselves when disrespected.
Accept men as they are, not as you wish them to be ladies.
@legedaryHustler@_DuroJaiyeJnr Big agent go for big potential, no good agent goes for an average player, the current agent of Zadok, is no big agent, infact it is Zadok that will put his name on the limelight.
Tolu became the highest goal scorer in Belgium, that attract him to the agent that took him to EPL
Jude Onwuegbuzie, a judge sitting in Court 30 @fcthighcourt in Abuja, claims to have granted bail to Tunde Ayeni, the businessman being prosecuted by @officialEFCC for supposed financial crimes.
He says the crimes are bailable.
But he has set conditions designed to frustrate bail. He requires 2 sureties, both of whom must be civil servants of not less than Level 16.
To fulfill bail conditions, one of these civil servants must deposit a bank guarantee of N15 billion Naira liable to be forfeited in case of default of appearance by Mr. Ayeni.
Jude Onwuegbuzie, of course, knows that no #CivilServant can present a #BankGuarantee of N15bn. That person would automatically become jobless & would probably end up in jail under prosecution by #EFCC.
How this impossible bail condition helps to fulfill the goal of trial & accountability beats me. These are not bail conditions. This is evidence of flagrant #JudicialMalpractice.
Through these conditions, Mr. Onwuegbuzie has already inverted the presumption of innocence & found Mr. Ayeni guilty, with no need for a trial.
No judge has a mandate to rewrite the Constitution on such cowardly & corrupt whim and we cannot seek to bring allegations of financial crime to account through this kind of corrupt order.
No one deserves this kind of nonsense. Judges like Mr. Onwuegbuzie are doing their best to bring our judiciary into disrepute & make the courts instruments of executive impunity.
The best thing in this circumstance would be for Mr. Onwuegbuzie to recuse himself from further participation in the proceedings because he has already found Mr. Ayeni guilty before trial. He should do the right thing & return the file to the Chief Judge.
If fails to do so, Mr. Ayeni's lawyers must ensure he does not proceed with the trial because if he does, there is only one way the trial will end. This kind of gross abuse of judicial office benefits no one.
@deji_thrive@_DuroJaiyeJnr The same academy player, they say cannot make NPFL team, has make Sweden top tier team and moving to England top teams. Take this same boy to Shooting stars they will tell him to go suck breast. They won't even give him chance to train.
@AbiolaAbdul Lagos boys too do shakara, ordinary to come play match, they will demand money, meanwhile those outside Lagos from East, North and Ibadan are hungry to play.
@9ja_Ballers Oboy go for the money, what will be the assurance if he go to smaller club in Belgium, he will move to premier league? If PL teams come, grab it with all your hand, if you fail you continue from where you fail.
@Real1_balogun One of the reason those big teams want to sign him, with big money is bc he is very young. Even if there is cheating, he will be between 19/22.
Don't bring 27years old player and claim 18. Mikel obi was born 82, only cut 4years from his real age.
@blackveron I doubt f dey're real players, if a player is good and consistent with training, why run away from real opportunity. Either ur friend use the club to get them visa for EU. Or dey suspect the club don't want them after trial. This is why most embassies don't grant visa for trials
For clarity, an invitation by the Police is not a conviction, nor does it imply guilt.
Where allegations are reported, the responsibility of law enforcement is to investigate, obtain statements, review available evidence, and determine the facts in accordance with the law.
Individuals are free to present their own narratives publicly. However, investigations are guided by evidence, due process, and the law, not social media speculation.
Anyone invited by the Police is entitled to their rights under the law, just as investigators are obligated to discharge their lawful duties professionally and impartially.
