I prefer a life sentence because many lives have been wasted in this country.

I think they should just take governors out of these processes. They just add an extra layer of bureaucratic red tape. Why not just have prison commission handle it.

in support of what you've said the office of the Attorney General and the Justice Minister should split then this role be handed to bare, by so doing the public office holders would face governance squarely. those uncharge of dissemination of judgement do it in totality.

I agree with you. Let the minister of justice perform that task. Since he is an appointee of the executive and also a part of the justice system.

Afterall the Attorney General has the powers of Nole prosequi. (The power to decline to prosecute, which is considered the power to give life. ) So he ought to wield similar power (of death).

Nigeria governments ( Federal or State ) dont have balls to sign execution orders yet they cant afford to feed the life sentenced prisoners for life...

Which way Nigeria..?

One day, you will be framed up for a crime you are innocent of and I pray they grow balls to sign your death warrant.

Actually, death is the only thing the African Negro is scared of.

That's why he rather entered a slave ship than be killed.
That's why he'll rather endure bad leadership than be killed
That's why he'll obediently lie down while his wife is raped by a dirty rascal.

I say again. Death will and has always been the African society's punishment for wrongful acts and it kept the society safe and sane until oyibo cams with laws that make the criminal a victim to be protected and pampered
Funny but very true.

Well, as for me a Criminologist, the pattern of Punishments is suppose to tally with the structure and social life of the society where it is applied. Death roll I the best option for Nigeria looking at the precedence of terrorism, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape amongst others. You shouldn't send a man that killed 50+ people to jail. The main purpose of Punishment in the criminal justice system of to deter other intending criminals from engaging in to that same act. The more severe the punishment, the more laws are followed.

Death sentence is bad due to the mistake of executing an innocent person! Life sentence is better!

Even in U.S. where they have all the tools to conduct thorough investigations, still get it wrong sometimes. Then compare that to Nigeria where investigations are mostly based on guess-work, hearsay and torture (one can admit guilt on what they didn't do, to stop being tortured), which are ineffective!

Life sentence is scarier than Execution. After Execution, it all ends. Life sentence is hope in a hopeless situatuon.

Nothing will be sweeter than seeing heads of chronic offenders (like murderers , looters, etc) rolling on the street. Immediately they catch somebody that stole money close to half of the country's population the person's blood should be donated to ogun shrine and the carcass should be displayed for others with the mindset of stealing to see.

even the religious book spelt it out. they can kill for political reason and embezzle/loot the state purse to red but to condemn the/a criminal the become a saint that can't even take the life of a mosquito or housefly.

They should start with de-congestion of the Prisons then we can consider if Life sentence is an option. Also fast tracking of the legal processes,

Go back to death sentence by firing squad and limit appeals to 6 months the most. So many people are on death row for over 20yrs because they appeal and appeal several times until they've exhausted all their chances, meanwhile they are costing tax payers money. If you murder anyone you should gladly accept execution.

WHAT ABOUT FALSE ACCUSATIONS AND FALSE TRIALS?

TAX PAYERS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PAID TAX?

SOME TIMES I CAN'T BELIEVE WE BELONG TO THE SAME SPECIE WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

Anything below execution for hired killers, kidnappers, rapists amd ritualists is injustice. Same way corrupt politicians deservessel life imprisonment.

I dont even think they should involve executive past performaning order. There's no need to duplicate orders. They can already appeal verdicts. The executive already hss pardoning powers if they want to intervene. That's why processes are slow.

Do you know the meaning of manslaughter?
It is accidental.

If you are driving on the express road, and a foolish pedestrian disobeys traffic rules and run across your car and get hit accidentally.
If he dies in the process, you are guilty of manslaughter.

So they should jail you for life?

Manslaughter should carry a sentence of five years maximum with the possibility of parole but it has to been proven that it is manslaughter.

Life sentence are for confirmed unrepentant murderers, rapists and terrorists, so that they won't be danger to the community ever again.

Some people actually deserve to die, besides, life sentences is expensive
if you kill then you only end the person's life without getting punished for what he/she had done already. Life imprisonment may be expensive but you have to pay to get people punished
