Court Orders Father of Three to Kneel amd Face Wall for Contempt

An Ikole-Ekiti Customary Court in Ekiti State on Tuesday ordered a 47- year-old carpenter, Ojo Ajayi, to kneel down and face the wall for contempt.

The President of the court, Mrs Yemisi Ojo, ordered that Ojo, a father of three, who rejected the judgment of the court in a matter between him and his wife, Yemisi, kneel for disrespecting the court.

The judge had ordered that Ajayi, who was the defendant in the matter, be arrested for saying that he would not accept the court’s judgment that the children be in the custody of the complainant.

The court also ordered the man to pay N10, 000 monthly for the upkeep of the children and in addition be responsible for the payment of their school fees.

The decisions irked Ajayi, who grumbled openly that he would not pay any money.

“I will not pay any money for the children’s upkeep, I want custody of my children,” he said.

Thereafter, the judge ordered him to kneel down and face the wall, while she attended to other cases.

Delivering earlier, the judgment, Ojo said: “Court has heard and examined the evidence of both parties and finds that the plaintiff has sufficiently proved her case.

“The totality of the evidence and the demeanour and attitude of the defendant throughout the proceeding shows that the defendant has never been responsible for the care of his children.

“Court will not condone any man, who in bid to shy away from responsibilities, hides under obnoxious statement of wanting custody of the children.

“Defendant needs to be forced to live up to his responsibilities towards his children.

“Therefore, court orders that the defendant pay N10,000 monthly upkeep of the children in plaintiff’s custody.

“The monthly upkeep payment is with effect from the month of July in addition to payment of school fees.”

Yemisi had approached the court to order her husband to be awake to his responsibilities and allow her to have the custody of the children.

She alleged that the husband was ashamed to associate with her because she was an albino and as a result made her and the children suffer.

The defendant, however, denied the claim that he was not taking care of the children and prayed the court to grant him custody of the children.

15 Business Theories That Will Improve Your Living

1. Humans respond best to motivation theory Many companies operate on the "principal agent," or "incentive theory. " It's based on research by economists Michael Jensen and William Meckling , who determined that Human beings work as hard as you pay them. For example, it's why shareholder values are aligned with executive compensation. But incentives are not the same as motivation. Incentives are based on "hygiene factors," including status and job security. Motivating factors include a broader sense of purpose. If you choose a job based on motivating factors, you are much more likely to be rewarded with hygiene factors, because you will do your job well — you're intrinsically motivated. Hygiene factors only go so far, and operating on a principal agent theory will eventually lead to burnout. 2. Balance deliberate and emerging strategies The best strategy is a balance between having a deliberate one, and a flexible, or emergent ...

Family declines autopsy for U.S. student released by North Korea

An Ohio coroner, abiding by family wishes, has performed an external examination instead of a full autopsy on the body of the U.S. student who was held prisoner in North Korea for 17 months and sent home in a coma, the agency said on Tuesday. The Hamilton County Coroner's Office was still conferring on Tuesday with doctors at a Cincinnati hospital who were treating Otto Warmbier, 22, before reaching any conclusions about his death a day earlier, investigator Daryl Zornes said. Investigators also were continuing to review radiological images and awaiting additional medical records requested by the coroner, Zornes said. He declined to estimate how long it would take for the coroner's office to complete its inquiry. Preliminary autopsy findings had been expected later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. There was no immediate word from the family about why relatives declined an autopsy, which may have shed more light on the cause of the neurological injuries that left him in a com...
