I know it's a black man racial madness of that time. The rapist might be white.
It's not the woman but the police, the police probably coerced the girls to point him since they arrested him. Shortly after the attack, police stopped Mr Mack, who happened to be driving through the neighbourhood.
Though Mr Mack had a strong alibi and was wearing different clothes than the suspect, police still arrested him.
Witness misidentification is the leading cause of wrongful convictions, according to the Innocence Project. In this case, the girls identified Mr Mack during a flawed police identification process.
The state's decision to continue the prosecution instead of reopening the investigation demonstrates the power of tunnel vision and the role that racial bias plays in the criminal legal system," she said.
I shall randomly pick up the results of some States of the Federation.
First I take Abia State, there the alleged 2nd respondent (Tinubu), the alleged favoured Candidate of INEC only gathered a miserly 8,914 votes against LP who scored 327,095 votes and PDP scored 22,676 votes and was recorded by INEC. Those votes were almost three times the number of votes of 2nd respondent for whom the petitioners INEC purportedly shut down the IReV on behalf of.
In Enugu State, the also "favoured" Candidate of INEC, as alleged by the petitioners, was credited by INEC to have scored only 4,772 votes in the entire State, while the LP was credited by the "manipulative and unfriendly INEC" according to them to have scored 428,690 votes, the PDP 15,745 votes. The LP's vote is also almost 3 times the number of the so-called INEC's "favoured" 2nd respondent.
The 1st petitioner also won big in Anambra, the home State of 2nd respondent where he once held sway (Lagos) and even the Headquarters of the 1st respondent (INEC), the 2nd respondent could not even make 25%.
If all these results declared by INEC for each of the states for the two sets of petitioners and 2nd respondent is anything to go by, then INEC must be an ‘abysmally poor manipulator’ or even an 'imbecilic one.'
This is where police are better than lawyers. Manipulation is not to give the lead but to make a significant purpose example is tampering or total destruction of evidence. Court only knows technicality manipulation. But police they are themselves manipulation.
ngeneukwuewuGOAT: The PDP is a very useless party. They caused this. They felt Obi cannot win the presidency for the party hence pushing Obi out of the party. If they have abide by the zoning arrangements of the party and allow the presidency to the South East, Obi would have won under their ticket easily with a big margin. The greed by Atiku and Wike was responsible for the demise of the PDP
Irrespective of sub region the north has no business for the number 1 post even in pdp the north is the party National chairman. It's abominable for group of elders to be that extremely stupid.
TimT: I am single... I have a friend who is married. We always hangout at least every weekend... But last weekend, he didn't come around I called but he didn't give me a tangible reason... So yesterday, he came around my place, I noticed his mood isn't as cheerful as it used to be... I asked, what was wrong?. He said "You Neva marry you no go understand". He wanted to say more, but I said no need, he shouldn't say anything.. till he left I kept quiet.. I didn't say anything... So I want to ask o, if na only married person fit give advice to who don marry...
Take it this way should a married baby take advice from an unmarried mature man and excellent mind?
AsabaPropertyAg: Amaechi vs Wike`s Portfolio which one is more Lucrative and Powerful.
Former Governor Amaechi used Rivers State money for Buhari`s election for appointment as Minister of Transport in former President Buhari`s Administration 2015 - 2023 and in this present Tinubu Administration Former Governor Wike used Rivers State Votes to get Minister of FCT ABUJA.
Some people were arguing between Amaechi and Wike whose portfolio is more Lucrative and Powerful.
Please house I need your input in this argument, in my opinion I told them that Minister of FCT is more lucrative and Powerful than Minister of Transport because FCT Minister is working directly with the president in Abuja and also he is like a Governor and he has yearly budget like Governors every year.
Why kill just 5, kidnapper, arm robber and farm destroyer are all death sentence candidate so kill them all. Only the real suspect should be tried but for the confirmed ones pls save our tax payers sweat by killing them.
modernWays: You are hopelessly battling with a serious low self esteem. Imagine a woman you will house, feed, take care of all her other needs and sometimes that of her family dictating to you?
Are you not suppose to be happy she don't want court marriage sef?
I wonder o, somebody that supposed to be happy he is not entering bondage as court/ registry favour her far more yet she rejected it.
Ololade4: Good day House.. I am an ardent Nairalander but I am using another identity to cover up..
It's almost over a year now that i started the journey with her, I met her parents 4 months ago, I was told by her day that thier daughter is not free( bride price things) normally... we talked it out and we decided to get marriage.. I am 35, she's 32. She has a 8 years old boy out of wedlock, the boy stays with her parent.. I don't have any problem with that, Single mother is not a disease.. we have being living together since March this year, just like a couple and i decided to tie the knot with her later in the year which we both agreed on.
So we both agreed to go for registry then normal engagement and rest the case.. she later changed her mind, she doesn't want the court registry anymore (i am not move with this anyway, but why? Is she having another secret affairs elsewhere, or maybe she's thinking she may leave if things go south, like she doesn't want to get into a legal marriage that will hinder her from having choice in the nearest future, because I don't understand..).. She only want Engagement, without the court registry for now. Anytime her parents, especially her mom ask her about it in the wedding plan, she will tell her we will do it later in the future . As a man in the first place I don't need to worry about this in the first place, because all this court marriage registration only favor the woman and I know most of them crave for it...
But she... What is she up to??
Good for you Bro, she is saving your Ass. Be grateful you no do legal imprisonment and torture.
epondudu: They were kidnapped at Ojo, which is populated by a particular ethnic group,Maybe their sperm is not good enough for baby factory that's why they were dump in Ogun state.
Me I don't believe the kidnap in the morning and rescue in the afternoon they might have gone for initiation watch out for them in the next two years. Yahoo/plus loading. Mind you I might be wrong o but that's my gut.
[quote author=Nemere2020 post=125566705][/quote]Why is dss loosing respect like this even if you have to let @NPF do the dirty laundry. Please be diplomatic and even if it's a must do it silently let FG be the one to inform us that they received a security breach alert.
Recognize as what Christian should be careful with this people o, they are only looking for way to sabotage and discredit the work of in the nearest future. Work of God is not showbiz hence anything called recognition is from the pit of hell. It's not their fault since God of men are now boasting of covering stadium and other huge auditoria.
Princejydo: Good afternoon nairalander, pls in my apartment, the bore hole is sunk besides the soakaway and now the soakaway is full, and the water is usually coming out especially during the raining season. I want to ask that is it safe to drink the water. Though we have been drinking it since I got there around 2019 but now the soakaway is full and the caretaker has refused to do the needfull
TyroneP: You know all those stories you read online and you say, ‘eiyahh, stories that touch.” Hmm, my sister, that is my story, o!
This man, yes, I will refer to him as this man. When I met him years back, I was already working and driving a small car, you know those Picantos that flooded Lagos in those days? Yes, I was one of those who owned one. I was lucky to have landed a good job but aside from that, na sharp Ibo babe I be na, I know how to do market well. I started a shuttle bus business on the side; for a church. I got my younger brother to run it for me. After about two years, we got another one; at this time, my husband and I had begun to court, he was doing business in Dubai then. Then Dubai was a very hot destination for Nigerians and I honestly thought his business was doing good.
What was he doing? Buying and selling na? What else? All kinds of stuff; computer parts, female wears…stuff, sha! Ok, when the matter got to the point of Marriage, he went to know my people in the village. They met with his, you know the rest how these things are, we had our Igba kwu and church. A few years later the kids began to come, we have five children! Along the line, his business just began to crumble and this happens when you are fraudulent; you cannot sustain good business on fraud, you just can’t!
To be honest, I began to suspect he wasn’t doing genuine business shortly after we got married. He was dodgy about certain things, certain monies coming in, you know, I would ask him for certain papers and he was quite dodgy about them. I decided to mind my own business, after all he had been doing his thing before we met, so which one be my own? I also knew I had to separate my business from him. I continued to use my maiden name in all my transactions on my own business.
Then he ran into customs wahala in Dubai, his goods were seized and that marked the end of things for him. Naturally as his wife, I encouraged him to be positive, I told him he had to get the right papers, organize his business in such a way that he would not raise red flags every time he passes through customs. At that time, my job and businesses were thriving, I had five buses in my fleet, I had two schools and the church as clients; also, I had already bought a land from doing cooperative in my office.
Now, that land was bought with the mind that at least, I would be able to give my sons something to inherit. Land is a surer investment; transport business is good but buses always run down, break down, need fixing with you spending money…you get? So, I first got a piece of land which I bought in my maiden name. That one became wahala for oga at home. He hala me tire, we had long quarrels. He wanted me to put his name on the papers for the land, me kwa, I refused, instead I put the name of my first son; we have three boys and two girls.
I then purchased a second land, again I used my second son’s name….I was just doing business as per say, e dey my blood and this job may not last. I wanted something to retire to as well; I am not the type of woman who waits for a man to provide everything for her and in a way, yes, I wanted to support my husband’s hustle, if he was unable to provide for us, would I fold my arms but no bi say make I kuku carry the load of provision for my head.
But even before the wahala of his business, I was paying school fees, rent, fueling our gen, paying house helps, lesson teacher, driver…Nne, I was Mrs Man in the house o! Things got bad and my husband just became a degenerate! You know, he would faff around and go to the club in the evening and come back at past 3am! Biko which kind wahala be dis? So, I decided to help out, na, isn’t that what a good wife should do? I swear, I regret it to date!
What did I do? I asked my brother, who I run the businesses with, I mean the one who manages the fleet of buses and over sees the new business we began, to allow my husband to join him, so at least he would have a sense of responsibility, instead of him parading night clubs like a male prostitute! Abi? As he goes to clubs, no bi my money e dey go spend there?
Husband joined my brother and after a few weeks, na so so complain e dey complain; my brother did this, my brother did that, wahala every day… ol Gehl, I had to ask my brother to leave! Because the quarrels were everyday and for my peace of mind, I just begged my brother, biko move to the other things we are doing; I asked him to focus fully on the nylon business we had just begun because all I heard every day was my husband complaining and my brother calling to tell me to tell my husband to back off!
Hummn. My sister like I told you, I still had my job and I had five children to raise, so my mind was most times not on the bus business or nylon business. Then under my husband, who claimed he was helping me save cost that my brother was squandering, the buses would develop fault more often than before; yes, during my brother’s time, the buses too had problems, so it wasn’t a new thing for me.
The difference was that the cost of maintenance skyrocketed! My husband fired the old drivers and hired new ones then he would bring mechanics and his new drivers to me and they would complain about this and that and ask me to bring huge sums of money. At first, I would just sign the cheques for payment of these parts but after like six months, I began to document the things being repaired. It was just on a hunch; I discovered I was being fleeced by the drivers and mechanics…they were fixing the same things they claimed had been fixed earlier.
Na every six months dem dey repair fuel pump? Gear box? Shocks? I vexed, one day, I accused one of them of being a thief and cursed him and told him because of this thing he did to me God would punish him. Do you know what the man told me? He said, ‘Madam, na your husband dey do am, na hin tell us to increase price then he will pocket it!’ Nne, I shock but to be sincere, I no too shock because my brother had said the same thing months back. The driver dropped the bus key and stopped working for us. So, I had to call my brother, I told him and he told me some of the drivers had called him to tell him the same thing but that he didn’t want to ruin my marriage so he kept quiet after the first time he told me.
Chineke! I said which marriage? Marriage that I had been the one managing since the day we got married. I paid the rents, paid the hospital bills for delivery of all five children, paid the maids, the drivers, bought the land and…and yet he squanders what he gets on ashis at clubs! Abi you think I don’t know that he meets with ashis? Or is he meeting his aunties at the club? Biko shift o!
I told my brother, enough is enough! So, I am telling you the same, I no do again… to your tent o Israel!
