LawWithEbele:
Her Name Was on the Land Documents... But the Court Declared Her Husband The owner of The Land
She had the Certificate of Occupancy in her name.She believed the land in Abuja was hers.But when the marriage ended, the court said, “No, it belongs to him.”
This is not fiction. It happened in the real case of Madu v. Madu [2002] 13 NWLR (Pt. 783) 231.
Here’s what you should know:
Grace Madu and her husband had a customary marriage. She applied for land, and the allocation was made in her name. But when things fell apart and she took the matter to court, claiming the land as hers...
She lost. Why? Because the court discovered:
The husband paid for the land.
He processed the allocation.
He collected the certificate.
He developed the property and rented it out.
She couldn’t prove any financial contribution.
The court applied the principle of resulting trust (A resulting trust happens when one person pays for a property but puts it in another person’s name, and the law assumes it wasn’t a gift. So, the person holding the title is just keeping it in trust for the real owner.), saying the name on the Certificate of Occupancy doesn’t automatically mean ownership, especially when someone else bore the financial burden.
What You Must Learn from This:
1. Your name on the document doesn’t guarantee ownership.Equity may favor the person who paid, not the person named.
2. Always document your contributions.If you helped pay for a property, protect your interest legally. Don’t rely on love or promises.
3. Understand resulting trust.If you’re only the ‘name’ on the land, and not the person who paid, you may be holding it in trust.
Too many women lose everything when marriages fail. Not because they did anything wrong, but because they didn’t understand the legal consequences of ownership and documentation.
Don’t wait for heartbreak before protecting your rights.
I am Ebelechukwu Aroh-Nwoka, your family and property lawyer. I help you use the law to protect what matters most.
Friends, have you ever contributed to a property that wasn’t in your name? What happened? Share your experience, someone needs to learn from it.

Your comment is contradictory to your write up.
Given the explanation you gave, who in their right sense would claim she owns what she doesn't?

No it isn't stupid for a man to kneel when proposing and anyone that thinks it is obviously still has some growing up to do.
I'm only guessing but any guy that would say it's stupid, says so because his character is weak. And a man with a weak character will worry about what others with weak character think. Poor character is what is wrong with too many young people these days. A lack of character is where bullies, gangsters, con men, lack of personal ability and being financially inept come from.
The next thing you know, you have some young guy trying to be a man through a car, tattoos, clothes or whatever superficial thing that was popular that day and not wanting to kneel before the woman he wants to marry. Nothing wrong with cars or tattoos when you have some character to go with them. I am only concern about money miss road kind of guy.
Kneeling before a woman is about showing her that you are willing to humble yourself and give total respect and commitment doing something that you wouldn't do for anyone unless you were forced to, SUBMIT. You basically are submitting to her and putting her above yourself to symbolize what you will do for her the rest of your life. I don't mean that the guy will be subservient their whole life, I mean that he will be the shield and take on any threat to the family, willing to give his life to protect their
Kneeling on one knee means that a man will actually going to be devoted until the end so long the woman is respectful. You are honoring the institution of marriage and it benefits not just the lady.
Only men and women with class will agree with me but the low. Life will bash.
These days everyone is questioning things we all accepted as traditional

What is morally acceptable in one society may not be in another.
If wearing a leg chain is done with modest intent, many would argue it’s morally neutral.
However, if it’s worn with the intent to provoke or send sexual signals (as believed in some cultures), some may question its moral implications.
In what world does wearing leg chain send sexual signals?

You will never understand what it means to fall into grave sexual temptation until you start living a sexually pure life or until you decide to work for God.
.
I'm not yet a pastor in full time ministry but I can tell you the truth based on series of temptation I get these days, the work of a pastor is one of the hardest when it comes to standing against sexual temptation.
Yesterday I also perfectly understood why pastors fall for married women or ladies whose marriage or relationship is in crises during counseling.
.
The truth is counselling a heart broken woman is a big trap. A big trap that can only take God and courage to not fall into. You will be shocked that the person you are counseling is so vulnerable and sexually primed that the greatest emotions flowing through her at that time is a urge to be touched, cuddled, caressed and knacked. I saw everything last night, and my defence began to crack, wane, weakened and almost dissolved completely while the lady was begging time for me to touch her.
.
It was yesterday I realized that deciding to live a holy life or deciding to be a pastor means that you have only signed yourself into continuous sexual temptation. No wonder most pastors fail! I thought I had won the demon of temptation until I experienced the dimension of counseling a broken married lady.
.
I won't go into the story. It's a long crazy one. But pastors will understand what I'm saying .... And if you have not counselled a heartbroken woman either married or single... You can never understand. How I escaped without crashing totally is a mystery.
So in plain simple English.
You attempted to minister to a lost soul, was tempted, you fell and came here to give us grama.
You could have scratched the itch and would be better for it,..gained experience from the pool of adultery or fornication as the case might be.
But you would be less starved like you sound now

You should research about the Minsk Agreement between Ukraine, the west and Russia and who bridge the Agreement.
Before Russia SMO, there has been DPR
(Donetsk People's Republic) and LPR (Luhansk People's Republic) of eastern Ukraine forming a resistant force against the Ukrainian government forces.
You should put your data in good use.
Those are open source info. Nothing new there

The situation in Ukraine is quite different, the people of Eastern Ukraine 🇺🇦 where the war are taking place are ethic Russian and they fully ed Russian special operation against the Ukrainian Government.
Some of the captured Ukrainian territories eg Mariupol et al; has been reconstructed by Russian Government, ( you can check it out on YouTube).
Therefore resistance force against the Russian force is dead on arrival because the people of Eastern Ukraine 🇺🇦 approved and welcome the Special Military operation of the Russian government.
Propaganda at its finest. To say Russia attacked Ukraine cos ethnic Russians lived there.
That is exactly how Hitler started the second world war. Go and read the history and learn to do more research before coming to spew BS

This is probably Russia's biggest gamble. To make sure America doesn't Ukraine
Actually to legitimise the invasion. If US does a partnership with Russia, they have indirectly legitimised the invasion.
Trump won't see that part of the hurdles and would probably barrel through with it.
As always, it would explode in the faces of the republicans. Only issue is that their voters won't care.

What other research do I have to do for something I have encountered personally.
No one is all knowing even the greatest Professor still has something new to learn in his field of study.
The information I ed is legit as I have personally encountered it so it is left for people to believe it or not.
Nothing legit about your posted write-up.
But to all their own.
You are not my relative so it's your problem, not mine. But bear in mind it's misinformation.

To add to what I wrote earlier. I just saw the screenshot you posted.
Invariably you trying to tell me that the whole time I have worked, bled and sweated in the healthcare sector, I had no idea what I was doing?
Lol, that's funny.
Anyways, looking at what your posted. It's obviously you are taking those write ups out of context.
What thy wrote doesn't necessarily interpret to what you are trying to portray.
Like I stated before, do your research.

The biggest misinformation media for health topics. Cos people tend to take little information they get out of context.
The wrongest place to get your information cos many misinformed people like you tend to post lots of contradictory information.
The problem is that the misinformation is way more than the correct information.
What Facebook AI does is this. It looks for the most searched topic and those are the ones that appear at the top of searches. These are the ones it sites but they don't necessarily have to be correct.
Do your research before your post misinformation.

When you lay on bed with your spouse or even a friend and you could literally hear the sound of your spouses or friends heart beating very fast and the spouse or friend is fast asleep.
What you do is to allow the spouse to wake up and advise he or she goes for medical check up as they may likely have heart related issues.
Untreated heart related issues can cause high blood pressure which may lead to heart attack or stroke in the future.
Early detection and treatment saves life in this scenario.

Discountsempai:
It had nothing to do with Onan spilling his seed, and the verse in question had nothing to do with masturbation (and no, I am not excusing masturbation...especially as I have never engaged in it, because quite frankly it does not make sense).
Onan was supposed to marry his late brother's wife, and under the customs of that time, the first child he had with his wife would be counted as his brother's child (strange to us, but in a society with high child mortality, and a concern over keeping lineages alive...).
Onan refused to do that because (as the verses imply)...he hated his brother Er. So, out of bitterness, he denied Er THE RIGHT TO KEEP his lineage alive.
Essentially, what Onan also was doing was
1. Denying Tamar the right to have a child...in a society where barreness was a BIG STIGMA. (See how Jacob, Onan's grandpa, wife Rachel felt about having no kids...and later on Hannah. And even Sarah, Onan's great-great grandmother).
2. Essentially telling his father that he wanted both his and Er's inheritance...ie greed. If he had done what he was supposed to do, then when Judah died, his (Onan's) firstborn son would have gotten Er's portion of the inheritance. By having no kids, he gets a dobule portion.
3. Essentially commiting an injustice to his late brother and dishonoring his memory.
Thus..as the bible put it in Genesis 38 vs 8-10
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also
So, nothing to do with seed or with masturbation as the OP thinks it does.
At its base it is a story about how harmful greed and resentment can be. And how wickedness also can provoke resentment (Er is described as a wicked man, so it is obvious that he was wicked to his two younger brothers, breeding anger and resentment).
Lol, that was how I also understood that age and story. But the op, one of these fake new generation wannabes understood it upside down.
God help us with all these fakes

Yes. It’s not a news that a beggar on the street of Toronto is richer than dangote in Nigeria. Most African billionaires are audio billionaires. They are not rich at all. I can’t believe that anyone who didn’t japa to Europe can be that rich. Dangote lives in Nigeria do how did he now have the kind of money people say he has? Audio money. A UK japarian who just japa to UK last year December is even richer than African billionaires all combined. Most of these guys earn way over $1Million dollars per hour..can otedola earns that?

He simply repeated what I wrote about the presidency being largely ceremonial, then he added some nonsense that I didn't write (he even included something that is false). He obviously didn't read my post 🤣
Hi sorry, I didn't mean to irritate you but your misrepresentation is where you stated the president nominated the chancellor. That is largely not true.

Politicians are quite often divisive figures. There are people that ionately hate Donald Trump. They can't stand him and they hate anything that's connected to him. There are also people that love Donald Trump very much and think that he is a hero.
Sometimes this division can affect people's feelings towards the state. There were people that hated Goodluck Jonathan so much that they wished that the whole country failed just because of him, there were people that hated Muhammadu Buhari so much that they wished that the whole country failed just because of him and there are people that hate Bola Tinubu so much that they wish that the whole country fails just because of him.
Some countries have figured out a way to overcome this problem. They have a head of state that, while he has some constitutional powers, he is above partisan politics.
This head of state does not get involved in partisan politics, controversial issues or day to day policies. Therefore, it is hoped that all people can love and the head of state because he or she does not make policy that negatively affects people, does not take sides and is a symbol of the country. It is hoped that the head of state can be a unifier.
This system has been adopted in the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of . In the UK the head of state is a monarch (king or queen) and in the head state is a president.
These countries also have a head of government, who makes all the difficult and divisive political decisions. The head of government in the UK is the prime minister and the head of government in is the chancellor.
PRESIDENT OF
The Bundespräsident der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal President of the Federal Republic of ) is the head of state of .
He represents the Federal Republic of in matters of international law, concludes treaties with foreign states on its behalf and accredits diplomats. Furthermore, all federal laws must be signed by the president before they can come into effect; presidents may veto a law if they believe it to violate the constitution.
The German President tries to stay away from partisan politics and political decisions except when absolutely necessary. Therefore, his role is mainly ceremonial.
The President of is elected by the Bundestag (Federal Council, that is, the parliament) and the 16 states of .
CHANCELLOR OF
The head of the German Government is the Federal Chancellor. The Chancellor is elected by the Bundestag (without any debate) on the proposal of the Federal President. The Chancellor is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces during war, while the Defence Minister is the Commander in Chief during peace time.
The chancellor is the chief executive of the Federal Cabinet and heads the executive branch.
Photo 1) German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Photo 2) German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
A little bit of misrepresentation between the differences of both political positions.
But the president is a ceremonial position. It is the chancellor that names the president not the other way around.
