Crime doesn't pay. When they lie to you and deceive you to go commit crimes and say that nonsense rhetoric of " this is Nigeria ", flee! If you are foolish enough to listen to them and your poop hits the fan, same ungodly people who decieved you with " this is Nigeria " will abandon you to your ill fate.

Don't be unfortunate to think the law is toothless and the rich and powerful are not held to account. Go and ask the once celebrated Rickey Tarfa ati be be lo

Our laws are always very active when it comes to the lower class.

This is not true. Stop misinforming the naive and enabling crime-loving people. Those you call rich and powerful are in morbid fear of getting into criminal problems. That you don't know them or have them in your circle reflects in your comment. Even those who left the armed forces, police etc are even more scared of the law because they know they have loads of enemies in the justice system.

The best way to avoid getting into trouble in Nigeria is to avoid any criminal problems. What most of you think is criminal are civil cases where they exploit loopholes in the law to their own benefits like most of the rich and powerful do everywhere in the world.

If you are still in doubt, go to prison and see the men and women of yesteryears their rich and powerful friends have abandoned.

That you are poor and reckless doesn't give you immunity against prosecution if you commit crimes and if you think it's because you are poor that's why you are sentenced then you have learnt nothing.

Money will protect you but it will never give you immunity. Any rich and powerful who do crime knows he or she will be caught eventually so they try to bring many others down with them just like this convicted 39 year old guy did with the poor security oldman

They should have fined him or give him comiunity service

Nigeria lack Psychiatrist very badly
