When you steal the people's properties

You will get the people's judgment and,

then the people's punishment tongue


Don't Americans still take criminals to the electric chair?

Killing them in such a cruelsome way is not the way to go. Nigeria needs a lot of work, the punishment is far greater than the crime.
Re: I Can't Believe We Still Do This In Nigeria by lucabrasi(m): 10:59am On Jul 07, 2008
yes and is the electric chair in california is not as cruel as that?
Re: I Can't Believe We Still Do This In Nigeria by echelon(m): 1:29pm On Jul 07, 2008
From the little I know, people are sent to the chair in America for murder not for theft, shoplifting or stealing. You can be sure that all those that burnt those people alive, one time or the other in their lives have stolen something, and they had the guts to burn people like this 

Capital punishment though will never stop people from commiting crime.

God will judge all.

My only question is this: Who among those who were dousing them with petrol - or even those applauding the practice on this thread - Who among you have never stolen before?

There is no justification whatsoever for that kind of barbaric act. We are talking about human beings here not animals. Nobody deserves to die like that for whatever reason - burnt alive?!. Not even animals!. And it's only in a backward country like Nigeria that people can decide to take the laws into their hands and get away with it. What they have done is first degree murder, and it is punishable under the law in any civilised country. But like they say again in Yoruba "bi oba aye o ri won, ti orun nwo won". God sees all, including the spectators.

Yes they do, after being freely and fairly tried, and found guilty beyond reasonable doubts in a court of law.
Re: I Can't Believe We Still Do This In Nigeria by Hero(m): 5:52pm On Jul 07, 2008
And folks wonder why Nigeria and Africa as a whole isn't advancing. This is one excellent case in point. Too much backwardness.

VERY disappointing. Strange - a closer look at this incident might reveal that no criminal act took place in the first place.
I remember one incident vividly, someone got the nerve to shout OLE OLE for no apparent reason,
next second a mob was gathered serious lynching this young man, if not for the rare timely of MOPOL the brother would be dead.
Capital Punishment of any kind- with a few exception- is unjust.

Not too long ago a crowed in Lagos claimed some women turned into women form after first being a cat. They surrounded her and accused her of being a witch and then attempted to beat her to death with sticks and bricks and all kinds of other objects. Then you had to famous case of that Amina women who was accused of having an affair with some guy, and was thus sentenced to death by STONEING after she had her baby.  angry SICK SHIT!! The guy, who most likely raped her, was let go scott free. How despicable.  sad This is the type of shit that pisses me off about much of Africa. The dumb backward shit that still goes on.

Never said it was an excuse. I'm sure Learn To Read is still on PBS

My problem is with your garbage of "this is why I hate Africa. so backward" thus my REMINDING you that such isnt just restricted to that continent alone. Ok?

and as for you being sick and tired and hating the place. That's good to know so how about you and your crackhead alter-ego Exponent leave this place?

Its despicable and beyond words, I bet most people feel that way too.
The idea of discussing the issue is to express ones opposing view with civilization.
I think - you know too - that there was no need for the last statement.

Did stoning, hanging, lynching, slavery, segregation . . . piss you off about America? Nah such happens only in Africa no?

Wait . . . the story about honor killings in the US and UK . . . nah how can those piss you off about them? They are white no?

Pedophilia (dateline MSNBC for example) in the US? Nah that must have been africa in disguise.

The nooses hanging in school courtyards in the south? Nah must be those depraved animals in Africa.

Daylight robbery in Katrina, wanton looting, the homeless . . . only in Africa no?

What else pisses you off about us?

I however notice our website doesnt piss u off just yet . . .

perhaps if you'd read our comment more open mindedly you'll see that we're not saying that we hate Africa but that we are tired of the way its being abused by both the African and the foreigners. There is not excuse for the continent and its people to be in a worst place than they were at at the end of the colonial period on the continent. We're saying that Africa and Africans can be and do alot better than the current state they are in.

Of course all that stuff is just as senseless and despicable as the other,  though let be real here. While one addresses these situations head on with legislation changes, stricter law enforcement and other means to address people's concerns with the mishaps, the other does nothing but attempt to push the concerns under the rug and or scare  people into not wanting to talk about them and or encourage the incidents as tolerable and good for the land. One most often take proactive measures to correct the ills and the other most often does noting and or actually encourages the ills as good for the people. This is were the difference often comes in. Yes every place has its problems though the true difference comes in in how the various places address and deal with these problems. African nations are not dealing with their problems at all and or are not doing so with fortitude enough to resolve them.

Lol dude you crack me up. BAs are the last people to be telling ANYONE how they should be dealing with their issues. How about making Newark and Detriot places worth living in and maybe we "backward Africans" will take you seriously.

If anyone should be in a BETTER state it's you guys. Do we have the opportunities of America in Nigeria or most african countries? Not really. Yet you guys are still struggling. Infact these other Africans are doing SO MUCH better here with these oppportunities than you guys are so what do you have to say about that?
