DATE - LINE BLUES: a seal invaluable
DATE - LINE BLUES is a franchise of U2C designed to identify and address those little but very essential issues of our love relationships.
The franchise which actually debuted way back in 2008 as a radio magazine made a comeback in print in 2014 and now it's modified for social media exclusively for the SEB.
DATE - LINE BLUES a.k.a. D-LB is classified into three categories:
(1) Wedding Bells: This segment addresses your experience as an individual in the course of courtship or just before you walk up to the altar to say "I do" to your spouse.
(2) FlashBack: This bit of D-LB provides a platform for comparison between today's love and yesterday's love notes e;g. the way our grandparents played love with their partners or spouses way back.
(3) Counselling: This is where professional marriage counselors have the opportunity to impart to our youngsters, in particular, some salient facts about true love relationships and marriage.
Tell you what, it's all fun to be associated with D-LB. So much to learn, experience, giggle, and appreciate. D-LB has FOUR distinct breakers:
*I RECKON THAT THE
PROBLEM WITH THE HUMAN SPECIES IS A LACK OF ORIGINALITY IN SELF-DISPOSITION. THAT
IS THE REASON I HAVE LEARNT NOT TO PUT MY TRUST BUT MUTUAL DISTRUST IN PEOPLE.
IT THUS SAVES ME THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DANGERS OF POSSIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT. BUT WITH
DATELINE BLUES I DO NOT REALLY NEED THAT PRINCIPLE*
*ON DATELINE BLUES
SOMEONE HAS A RELATIONSHIP TO LEAD AND KEEP. THE PERSON IS SINCERE AND PROUD OF
THE AFFAIR; WHAT DOES DATELINE BLUES DO? IT FLAUNTS IT TO THE WORLD AND THE WORLD DOFFS HER HAT FOR THAT PERSON AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY KEEPS INTRUDERS ON
A CHECK. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE CONFIDENCE. TO FEATURE DATELINE BLUES THE LUCKY
PERSON MUST BE FAITHFUL AND DEVOTED TO HIS OR HER PARTNER. IT IS A SERIOUS
BUSINESS AND WE TREAT IT AS SUCH*
*“YOU HAVE GOT THE
RELATIONSHIP. FLAUNT IT AND THE WORLD WOULD DOFF HER HAT FOR YOU”*
To be featured on "Wedding Bells" on DATELINE BLUES THE LUCKY PERSON MUST BE FAITHFUL AND DEVOTED TO HIS OR HER PARTNER. IT IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS AND WE TREAT IT AS SUCH. To qualify for the "Counselling" segment you must be either a Cleric or Marriage Counselor. For interest in the "FlashBack" segment, you should be at least in your late sixties.
Please, note that for every story or article or report you contribute to D-LB you would be given credits and copyright and have it shared across the world wide web.

With DATE -LINE BLUES, it's a seal invaluable.

“In addition, upon
the breach of the proposed section 9(1), section 9 (2)(a-b) provides the
punishment with respect to a natural person and a corporate body respectively.
“The Nigerian
Labour Congress (NLC) has reiterated the need to fight against job outsourcing,
especially in an organization’s core areas of operation.
“Multinational
corporations in the telecoms, oil and gas sectors are currently contributing to
the Nigeria economic crisis with their habit of outsourcing of workforce which
an average Nigerian can be engaged in to other nationals thereby creating
unemployment for its host country.
“After a critical
examination of the provisions of the relevant laws and the practices as we have
currently in the employment sector, I humbly urge this Honourable House to
support this amendment bill of the Labour Act to mandate the regularization of
an employee’s employment after six (6) months of employment and to prohibit
outsourcing of employment in the employer’s core areas of operation and to
further punish those in breach of this employment law.”

“I need to state
that the Nasarawa State Kidnapping Act Prohibition Law was extensively
deliberated and passed by the State House of Assembly.
“This law spelt
out various offences relating to kidnapping and prescribed stringent punishment
for perpetrators, such as life imprisonment and death penalty,”
“The Minimum
Wage Act is already a law and every political office holder must respect the
sanctity of our Constitution and the oaths of office they have sworn to uphold.
“If a worker is
entitled to be paid his wages, the wages must be commensurate with what has
been negotiated. In 90 per cent of the countries around the world, the minimum
wage law is implemented and observed. So, we cannot be an exception.
“While
appreciating those states and, even the Federal Government, that have paid all
the workers under its employment, including arrears which have set the base and
standard for states to follow, there is no excuse for any state not to pay
workers a minimum wage that has been negotiated because 85 per cent of the
Value Added Tax (VAT) increase goes to the states.
“We have
empowered our state councils. Once they reach a situation where they think
there is no commitment, we have given them the power to declare an action and
withdraw their services.
“Many states
have done that. In Ogun and Niger states, they did that before they were
invited to the table. We don’t need to take any decision again to say that you
need to do what you need to do.
“Once the state
executive council feels that there is dilly-dallying on the minimum wage, which
is already a law, they should be able to enforce their own right. We will
support them. Where they need reinforcements from the headquarters, we will be
there to support them.”
“We take
cognizance of the fact that some Supreme Court justices and indeed, other
judges, as well as judicial officers, have in the past suffered assaults, both
formally and informally under the supervision of the Muhammadu Buhari-led
administration.
“Cognizant of
the fact the Supreme Court infallibility is hinged on it’s finality, and not
because it’s personnel (justices) are infallible, we reaffirm our faith and
confidence in the judiciary, particularly, the Supreme Court which is still the
only hope of the common man.
“Consequently,
we express our unalloyed support for the leadership of our great party, the
PDP, and hereby call for a review by the Supreme Court of all its earlier
judgements,”
“Specialists
from the National Institute of Anthropology and History determined that it was
a piece of Yoruba origin,”
“It was also
determined that it had been illegally exported”
“We have a policy
under Governor Kayode Fayemi-led government. When we award contract, we expect
the contractor to first mobilise to site and display capacity before financial
mobilisation by government. That has been the standard.
“We awarded four
road contracts at the same time in January. But unfortunately, Sharvet Nigeria
Limited refused to mobilise to site and begin work while the three others are
already working as agreed.
“Anytime we award
contracts, we believe we are dealing with a contractor that has the competence
and once this is lacking and we don’t want our people to suffer due to
deplorable road conditions, it has to be revoked, which we did in the interest
of our people,”

THINKING ALOUD
It's a crazy world we live in. The problems and challenges in the society are not novelty to any of us. We know the solutions.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD
OTSEMOBOR is an undergraduate student. No, he is more than a student. I mean, he could approach anything in skirt no matter the given circle. He’s gifted in the act of winning over the opposite sex and has done this severally in favour of his peeps and himself. There was this exclusive party to be hosted by a popular Governor in West Africa. Ofcourse, Ose was not invited. But he had all the details. Don’t ask me how because I don’t know ‘how’. Anyway, he found his way into the party and without long he had spotted his catch.
“
Hello!” he said confidently as party jams fill the atmosphere.
“ Hi!” the lady responds arrogantly.
“We seem to be the only ones not catching the fun at this party, don’t you think so?” he fired.
“Please, excuse me. I’m not interested in the pleasure of any conversation. Thank you!” she snapped.
“Whoops! That was rather cold, lady. You haven’t even met me, before, have you?”
“And if I have, must I talk to you?” she boiled.
LAGOSIANS CONVERT KEKE-MARUWA TO CAR TO AVOID BAN
Following the recent ban on commercial motorcycles and tricycles in some parts of Lagos, some commercial taxi operators have brought their ingenuity to bare by transforming their Keke into what now looks like a car ... or is it a bus? Well, we leave you to be the judge. As at press time comments on this invention could only be gotten from the Opera News platform. Below are a cross section of the comments:

“The affected
companies failed to pay the established liabilities despite the long period
of
time the agency gave them to regularise their tax status,’’
“Before LIRS
embarks on such exercise, it must have sent at least two letter of notices to
the management of the affected firms reminding them of their tax liabilities.
“The Demand
Notice expiration is 30 days, while the Letter of Intention expires seven days
after issuance.
“So, before now
both the demand notice letter and the letter of intention have been sent to the
management of the companies which they failed to act on,”
“Basically, we
are hoping to reach out to as many students as possible and motivate them to be
able to act well and make better choices for their health, considering the
Valentine euphoria”
“We hope that
the message is being passed across and in the future, we will be able to access
how well they are using this information and how it is helping their lives”

Hypo launches nationwide campaign against Lassa Fever
While sticking to its core values and establishing market leadership in the environmental hygiene and homecare space, Hypo, makers of Nigeria’s beloved bleach has formally launched a Nationwide Sanitization campaign in open markets to curb the prevalence of Lassa fever, especially in the most affected states in Nigeria.
The Sanitization Campaign is in collaboration with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to visit major open markets across 11 states in the country to enlighten market women and the entire public on the Lassa fever epidemic and steps to keep their environment clean and effectively sanitized towards curbing the spread.
Nigeria has registered an upsurge in the
number of Lassa Fever cases since the beginning of the year, with 365 positive
cases and 47 deaths reported from 23 states across the country.
According to the week five situation
report on the disease released by the Nigeria Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC) on Wednesday, the number of states reporting at least a
case of the disease rose to 23 from 19 in the previous week.

“we are here to
discuss very passionately and sincerely on the projects to see how we can move
various projects that have been abandoned”
“Maybe as a result
of change of leadership and as a result of our own knowledge of how
procurements are done before, which we found them to be abnormal and we have
told the world that we are not here for witch-hunting”
“I’m not here to
beg anybody, I’m here with my lawyers, you either do it or leave it. I am not
interested on anything that you have done in the past, but what I am going to
do now, I will do it very well. CGC, I know you very well, I have given you
over a 100 billion contract in Abuja, and you have done it, the same thing with
engr. Eze, who was in charge of Bureau of Public Enterprises, and procurement
and due process”
“We are not EFCC,
if we are unable to agree, we will go somewhere because government is large.
You have the choice of doing it, if you don’t want to do it, leave it and pay
us our advance money that we paid you so that we can get other contractors to
do the job for us”
“regardless of what
happened in the past, we want to move forward, we will assure the people of
Bauchi state that we will not have abandoned projects”.
“After more than 10
years of conflict between non-state armed groups and the Nigerian military, the
situation is only getting worse
“ The conflict is
intensifying and the needs are massive. The United Nations estimates that there
are more than two million people who have been displaced from their homes due
to violence, and more than seven million who depend entirely on humanitarian
aid to survive.
The most serious
problem is that there are more than a million people living in areas controlled
by non-state armed groups – humanitarian organizations do not have access to
these areas, and the people living there do not receive any kind of aid at all.
“The conflict may
be nothing new, but this crisis is extreme, and it is happening right now; in
our projects we witness the impact that it has on human beings.”
“This is a dream
come true and we thank God that we are witnessing this great transformation of
the orientation camp.”
“As a government, I
believe that we should improve on the facilities that we have in this
orientation camp as we are collaborating with the Federal Government in
different ways.
“Just few days ago,
on Monday, a Court of Appeal was inaugurated in Asaba, I am happy that we have
the Court of Appeal and it has been described as apparently, one of the best in
the country.
“These partnerships
are in the best interest of our people and in the best interest of our state
and here at Issele-Uku is the first point of call for members of the NYSC who
are posted to Delta State.
“The graduates
numbering thousands who are posted to Delta, apparently, will work in Delta
State and will impact on the state and its people, so, it is only human that we
make them comfortable to bring out their best to serve the state and our
nation.
“I appreciate the
work of the contractors that worked here to see that these projects are
completed for inauguration today; it is my hope and expectations that when we
leave in 2023, this NYSC Camp will be totally a changed environment that will
be comfortable for the Corps members.
“It gladdens my
heart that we are here to inaugurate a 700-capacity headspace hostel for Corps
members; four blocks of twin 3-bedroom flats and several other projects; in the
next couple of weeks, construction work will commence on the internal roads, a
multi-purpose hall and we shall also, construct a hostel to be named after
Chief (Sir) B.S.C. Elue, former Deputy Governor, Delta State”

Death Penalty: Maryam Sanda And Matters Arising
By James Musa
In giving my opinion, I concerned myself with the evidence of the
prosecution witnesses and that of the defence, I also concerned myself with the
burden of proof in criminal prosecution which proof beyond reasonable doubt. (I
need not cite the law for you).
I am concerned
with the elements of the crime of murder or culpable homicide under the penal
code, concerned with the basis of the decision by the Judge. (Doctrine of last
seen and circumstantial evidence)
Page. 74 is
the starting point of the decision.
On. page 76 the
judge said this as he proceeds to deliver his judgment. “ I wish to state
that I have a duty thrust upon me to investigate and discover what is in any
particular case will satisfy the interest and demands of justice “

“I want to
tell Nigerians that, generally, electricity has to be run like a business and
that means we have to pay for electricity for us to have electricity.
“So, this idea of
people not wanting to pay, and feeling that, electricity is a social service,
should stop. That culture should stop so that, we can expand the grid and
provide stable electricity.
“Because,
it is investment that is required to have the network and that investment
requires that, people who are consuming this product should pay,”
