In law, damages are an award, typically of money, to be paid to a person as compensation for loss or injury. The rules for damages can and frequently do vary based on the type of claim which is presented (e.g., breach of contract versus a tort claim) and the jurisdiction.
At common law, damages are categorized into compensatory (or actual) damages, and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are further categorized into special damages, which are economic losses such as loss of earnings, property damage and medical expenses, and general damages, which are noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.
Compensatory damages are paid to compensate the claimant for loss, injury, or harm suffered as a result of (see requirement of causation) another's breach of duty. (e.g., in a negligence claim under tort law). Expectation damages are used in contract law.
Liability (to pay some compensation/damages) is established when the claimant proves, on the balance of probabilities, that the wrongdoer’s fault (breach or breaches of duty) was causative of some/tangible harm/loss/injury. Some harm = right to some compensation/duty to assess damages. No recovery is not an option.

After weeks of ignoring corruption loitering around deep inside Aso Rock, President Buhari finally regains his balls and suspends the Secretary to the Federal Government, Mr. Babachir Lawal, who was implicated in a N200 million grass cutting contract. He also suspended the director of the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA), Ayodele Oke, over his involvement in the almost $50m dollars discovered in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos. Dr. Damages diagnoses that ails the president. The good doctor shows his concern that other Africans laugh because Zimbabwean school children pay school fees with goats, meanwhile all across Africa, political and religious actors perform at intelligence level lower than that of goats. As expected, dokita gives his update on the long running soap opera involving Apo...
Just as the government of President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria was preparing to celebrate its second year in office, bringbackourgirls activist, Aisha Yesufu, called on Buhari to resign. Dr. Damages looks into the matter and all other matters about President Trump’s first trip abroad with a special help from the Zimbabwean pastor who has God's phone number and talks to God regularly. More importantly, your good doctor has found a worthy successor to Apostle Suleman. It is Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe. He is a man who brings manna from heaven. His sex audio made your physician to break into reggae dance, asking, "Mummy and Daddy, why are you acting so bad?"
Forget the fact that nobody knows where Nigeria's president is. The big news is that last week, Justice Binta Nyako granted the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) bail. Though the bail conditions were stringent, the event brought together on one stage Biafra and Oduduwa Republic. The public hug that followed was felt at both ends of the Atlantic Ocean. Dr. Damages uses his hammerscope to examine what this means for a country already on the edge. Also, in this episode, the reactionary forces in the North confront the Emir of Kano while the Oba of Lagos snubs the Ooni of Ife. In Apostle Suleman’s update, his estranged girlfriend releases a single announcing her independence – to which Dr. Damages dances to.

Last week, Wikileaks released documents showing that the CIA has been watching you via your smart phone, smart TV and smart car. Dr. Damages makes a case for a return to simple, and not so smart, life. While your good doctor was at it, a simple Gosple singer abandons the hymn book to sing about Apostle Suleiman. The hit song called 'sex scandal" baffles both the anointed and the un-anointed. Dr. Damages breaks down what transpired between the "stripper" and the apostle. You humble doctor also answers your emails and provides you with headline news.

Forget President Trump pulling America out of the Paris Accord. Forget Tiger Woods driving under the influence. A little more than 2 years ago, he was a mere commissioner. Now, he has fictitious characters writing about how he hires only South Western people from Redeemed Christian Church of God to work in the office of the Vice President, with the exception of the cooks at his home. But those are not what troubles Dr. Damages. Nigeria's acting President Osinbajo’s master stroke came last week when he promised every Nigerian who can afford N30,000 a month a house of their own. And right there, Dr. Damages cries foul. Your good doctor exposes the danger of the church sleeping with the state in the sad story of Governor Ambode’s firing of a church chaplain who kept his wife waiting. And in...

DAMAGES TO TROUBLES
Shut your doors their storm is coming
Of unlived dreams that were cast away
Hear the howls soaring in the wind
Don't let our end begin
My hatred grows as their tears fall
Shield innocence from hungry tombs
Keep damages from taking you
Hear the howls soaring in the wind
Don't let our end begin
My hatred grows as their tears fall
I'll do anything that I can do
To lock the windows beasts are climbing through
My hatred grows as their tears fall
