Blessed are those who are wrongly accused and persecuted, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.



No more better truth than this.
May this be your portion.... You better reply with Amen, so you can receive the blessing of those wrongly accused...

rape allegation is not a thing of race is a great problem between sexes, it goes beyond your colour.. check how many men both black and white that have been falsely accuse.. and the worst part is when a man is accuse of rape the society instinctively judge him guilty even without evidence...
But if the person's white they'll look into the case thoroughly,a white man won't spend up to that 44years in jail,but if it's black they'll just brush it aside and not investigate thoroughly and reject appeals made to the court

What is now sad is Nigerians go to America and prance about like model minorities, call the local blacks derogatory names like "akata" without understanding their history.

Their black ancestors built America and made it great.

If your Nigerian ancestors built Nigeria, you wouldn't be running to America to enjoy other people's labours.

Subhanalah, 44 good years for crime he didn't commit. This is racism against the man.

May God Almighty no let us see akoba, adaba, Amin.

The man should jejely sue them for 100 Billion dollar.
Racism, you say? Well, you may be right. But I would like your sincere opinion on the judgement handed out to that musician in Kano who was condemned to death,.by his fellow tribesmen, for insulting a god that is powerless to fight for itself.

it is you that see it that way, any offence that as to do with rape in the western world there legal system don't take it kindly they are brute to the core, it a battle between men whether black or white against a bias legal system and a society that sees men as aggressors it doesn't favors men.. rape allegation goes beyond playing the race card and victimization.

A North Carolina man who spent 44 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit was freed on Thursday.

Mr Ronnie Long, 64, was a 20-year-old Black man living in Concord when he was accused of raping a white woman, Sarah Judson Bost, at knifepoint in her home on the evening of the 25 April 1976.

Long was sentenced to 80 years in prison for the first-degree rape of Sarah Bost and first-degree burglary by an all-white jury in the 70s.

Despite decades of appeals to overturn the conviction, and though DNA evidence obtained throughout the years pointed to his innocence, he remained in jail.

And that's the woman she was accused of raping. She's probably continuously popping, cracking and sizzling to a fine crisp somewhere in the hottest part of hell

I no say na black man e go be before opening the news post. I remember Henry McCollum and Leon Brown his brother who spent over 30 years on death Row in same NC prison for a similar offence they didn't commit until DNA evidence reversed the sentence. They just wasted their lives for nothing. when driven home by their aged dad, he asked them to use their seat belt but they said they didn't know how to use a seat belt. They found it to be strange cos it was never introduced in the automobile industry before they left for prison.The eldest was less than 20 years old when arrested and were both in their 50s when released in 2014. Even after their release, the then white judge was still alive. He said he showed no remorse for what he did. So much injustice dey yankee. May we not fall in wrong hands.

Sometimes I don't blame them, I blame God. They useless experiment didn't work out. The color experiment is a failure.

I'm not surprised at all that he is a black man. Most convictions at that time was based on racism so many black men of his age are languishing in jails for crimes they didn't commit.

I'm sure his attorney is already getting documents ready to sue the hell outta the govt. angry

I wish someone could understand how much I hate the Judicial profession. For humans to be given the power to decide another's fate...to destroy or save their lives...is UNFORGIVABLE! No living and breathing human except myself would ever decide my fate or how I end up. I would never give the liberty to do so...That power would always remain in my own two hands, no matter what!

They assassinated his character, wasted his productive years behind the bars and caused him and his family and loved ones such a pain throughout that period of 44 years.

He could as well get them sued and demand for some billion dollars to incure all the losses and pain they had to put him through.

The truth will always prevail no matter what happens

At the ends Mr Long wins.

Thanks be to Almighty God.

Christianity is a cancer to black people. Makes black people docile and foolish.

Let's stop blaming religion or the lack thereof for backwardness.

When black people were not doing the Christian or Islam thing, we were.doimg things like slavery and killing twins and mass massacres.

If anything Christianity has brought a lot of tribes and back people together and helped with things like education and better health care, and crucially preserving our languages.(yes, many missionaries translated the Bible into the local language,and that also meant writing down the language for the first time)

Religions don't cause backwardness, people's choices do. And no, it does not justify racism, or systemic oppression

He was sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit.

He spent 28years on death row.

He was saved by a young lawyer.

True life story.

JUST MERCY, 2019.

Must watch, only for the strong heart.

It will shake you to your soul.
I downloaded this movie last year but ended up deleting it without watching cos it wasn't an action movie kind of.
With this story, I'll download it again.
Meanwhile the dude in that movie featured in Black Panther.
