I disagree with you sir. 40years?? If Bill Gates had spent 40 years in jail, and after his release got paid 1million dollars, would he be the billionaire that he is?? They already killed the man's destiny, God save us from such things. Amen!!
those that imprisoned him are destiny killer, his cry just went up to God that is why he release him. That is not really a blessing.

I don't even know which one is more worrying, that peeps like you won't mind doing anything, even going to jail for 40years just to make it judging from the tone of your post or that some 90something fellas out there actually liked your post signifying that they are in the same boat with you.

U just said bill gate. There are those who never make upto 1million dollar all there life! Even a U.S brigadier General (O- 7) would have to walk for at least 10 years to accumulate that amount.

And who said he still cannot achieve it. Perhaps that is God's own pay of providing him capital.

If a prisoner in Nigeria spends 40 yrs in prison unjustly how much compensation do you think he deserves?

This can only happen in a country with a sound judiciary system.

Here in Burkina Faso we all envy this man grin grin grin


If the system were sound, he wouldn't have gone to jail in the first place. You couldsay their system is better than that of your country, but it's certainly not sound (enough).

Re: Court Awards $1Million To Ricky Jackson For Spending 40 Years In Jail Wrongly by Isoni(m): 10:24pm On May 10, 2016
Have you considered if he had the right representation in court, maybe he could not prove his innocence during his trial and that may not be attributed to the system.

To get justice after 40 years means their judicial system is good.

and your type is the reason why the Hope of Africa is very bleak.

instead of you to show common sense you are here showing your akpu infested iq.

go to Guantanamo bay and see prisoners, terrorists who are being held there without any court injunction in the USA.

when somebody threatens to wipe out other ethnic groups in Nigeria simply because he was poorly brought up, and is amassing wealth and stockpiling weapons to prosecute a genocide, and also inciting his dumb-ass followers like you to kill other people of different ethnic colorations, then he should be incarcerated indefinitely.

you can join him in prison sha, it's your God given right to keep him company for as long as he stays there.

I wonder what u mean by sound system. Am sure there is no legal system anywhere in the world that reads a suspects mind. You have to give it to them as not too may legal system even visit case from the past. I guess if it was Nigeria we would simply say the court aired in its judgment like justice Umar told us about Tinubu. And the man would be release

What is your understanding of 'judicial system'?
Who are the agents in the judicial system?
Is there a difference between 'sound' and 'good'?

If you can answer these questions intelligently, then there would be no basis for contention.

The smart pants praised America's 'sound' judicial system. Not me. So he has to define what sound means.

True, the gesture is touching (in a positive way), but it is because their system isn't sound, that's why an innocent man was made to spend all of his productive years in jail. Except there is a new definition to 'sound'.

And I think the word you meant to use is erred, not aired. wink

Stop sayn wat u dnt knw. We pay compensations /damages in court. The supreme court abt 2 years ago or there abt ordered a lawyer to pay bk to his client abt 2 million naira jst bcs he failed to tel hs client dt he had no legal rit/cause of action in the case ;there by wastin his client 's time and money. Bsides the money given to this man is too small. 40 years is no joke.
