This really hurts. 5 and a half years on awaiting trial? Eventually discharged and acquitted. That's cruel. Who will pay for the lost years? What a country..

But seriously, I don't think they need a university degree, I think they shoud invest more on skill acquisition while they are doing their time. Once they are out, they could set up a workshop. I myself won't even employ an excon. Even in America that tag will render you jobless. Skill acquisition is the way to go.

He is NOT an EXCON,he was NEVER Convicted..

Best news ever since APC TOOK OVER

After five years of awaiting trial, he was tried and found not guilty. It is well with this nation.

I earned two degrees while in prison, says ex-inmate

A former inmate of the Nigeria Correctional Service in Enugu State, Mr Adenyi Theophilus, has said he earned a graduate and postgraduate degrees while in prison.

Adenyi told our correspondent in Enugu on Friday that he was sent to prison on awaiting trial in 2010 over a communal case he was not involved in but lumped in with others on trumped-up charge.

According to him, in March 2011, the then Controller of Prisons, Mustapha Attah, informed the inmates of the approval to establish a study centre of the National Open University of Nigeria in the prison.

We were surprised because we didn’t believe that there can be a university inside the prison. The CP encouraged those with O ’level results to enroll and that prisons would pay 50 per cent of the tuition fees.

“It wasn’t easy to raise money from prison to pay for the balance of the tuition fees and buy reading materials,” Adenyi said.

The inmate, from Nkanu East in Enugu State, added that the trauma of being in prison was enough to discourage him but with perseverance and hard work, he was able to conquer.


He said, “My motivation was that my destiny was in my hands and nobody can make me be whatever I want to become tomorrow apart from God. Another motivation was the fact that my O’level result will not give me a better job when I leave the prison.

“The staff of the correctional centre also helped the inmates with motivational talks especially the psychology department.”

He said in 2015, among the 25 inmates that registered, he was the only one that was able to complete his courses and graduate.

Adenyi said his plan was to graduate with first class grade but he was proud to finish with 2.1 in Peace, Conflict and Strategic Studies.

“The institution gave me an award with a sum of N50, 000 and that helped me to enroll for master’s immediately the same year.

“Presently I am through with master’s and on PhD programme in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka after leaving the prison,” he said.

According to him, on October 5, 2015, after five years and six months of awaiting trial, he was discharged, acquitted and not convicted.

He urged and advised inmates to enroll in the secondary and higher institution available in the centre.

“There are more to life, than smoking narcotics and exhibiting bad lifestyle because being in prison is not the end of life. I advise them to imbibe the habit of reading to acquire knowledge that will help them when they get out of prison. Today, instead of doing the wrong thing while in prison, I have written a book and three poems,” Adenyi stated.

The part in bold really got me angry with the Nigerian Police. Something seriously needed to change in there.

Theophilus Adeniyi from Nkanu East. Okay ooo

Why do you think your opinion is the best. They are adults that know their abilities and have aspirations of how they want to be perceived in the society. It was stated that he was acquitted so why would you not employ him. People like you are the reasons they feel worthless. Judges of men.

He is NOT an EXCON,he was NEVER Convicted..

maybe I used the wrong word. The way it works is, they ask if you've ever been charged. Employers don't wanna hear if you didn't do it. They are so discriminatry

He wasn't convicted, cant you read to understand? Mr Employer

he was not convicted of any crime,he was in prison awaiting trial and was acquitted.so he is not an ex-con.

They only ask if you've been convicted before.
Accept your mistake and move on. Maybe you need to enrol yourself

He is not an excon....

This used to be common in the US, but the US took it away to make prisoners into slaves, and more likely to end up back in prison.

According to him, on October 5, 2015, after five years and six months of awaiting trial, he was discharged, acquitted and not convicted


this is bad

It is good one. Because ordinarily, studying changes a person.

On paper, he is NOT a criminal.

Why should he learn a trade when he posses an academic brain.

He is not an exconvict. He was discharged and acquitted.

It takes real strength to conquer such.

NORSYK:
