Your obsession with anything Igbo should be a concern to your loved ones if you have any.

Sister's kidney donation condition of Miss. parole

AP – This is a Aug. 21, 2010 photograph released by the Mississippi Department of Corrections of Jamie Scott …
Slideshow:Miss. to free Scott sisters
By HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press – Thu Dec 30, 8:48 am ET
JACKSON, Miss. – For 16 years, sisters Jamie and Gladys Scott have shared a life behind bars for their part in an $11 armed robbery. To share freedom, they must also share a kidney.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour suspended the sisters' life sentences on Wednesday, but 36-year-old Gladys Scott's release is contingent on her giving a kidney to Jamie, her 38-year-old sister, who requires daily dialysis.
[Related: Happy ending to one family's debt nightmare]
The sisters were convicted in 1994 of leading two men into an ambush in central Mississippi the year before. Three teenagers hit each man in the head with a shotgun and took their wallets — making off with only $11, court records said.
Jamie and Gladys Scott were each convicted of two counts of armed robbery and sentenced to two life sentences.
"I think it's a victory," said the sisters' attorney, Chokwe Lumumba. "I talked to Gladys and she's elated about the news. I'm sure Jamie is, too."
Civil rights advocates have for years called for their release, saying the sentences were excessive. Those demands gained traction when Barbour asked the Mississippi Parole Board to take another look at the case.
The Scott sisters are eligible for parole in 2014, but Barbour said prison officials no longer think they are a threat to society and Jamie's medical condition is costing the state a lot of money.
Lumumba said he has no problem with the governor requiring Gladys to offer up her organ because "Gladys actually volunteered that as part of her petition."
Lumumba said it's not clear what caused the kidney failure, but it's likely a combination of different illnesses over the years.
Barbour spokesman Dan Turner told The Associated Press that Jamie Scott was released because she needs the transplant. He said Gladys Scott will be released if she agrees to donate her kidney because of the significant risk and recovery time.
"She wanted to do it," Turner said. "That wasn't something we introduced."
Barbour is a Republican in his second term who has been mentioned as a possible presidential contender in 2012. He said the parole board agreed with the indefinite suspension of their sentences, which is different from a pardon or commutation because it comes with conditions.
[Related: Police in Berlin pepper spray snowballers]
An "indefinite suspension of sentence" can be reversed if the conditions are not followed, but those requirements are usually things like meeting with a parole officer.
The Scott sisters have received significant public support from advocacy groups, including the NAACP, which called for their release. Hundreds of people marched through downtown Jackson from the state capital to the governor's mansion in September, chanting in unison that the women should be freed.
Still, their release won't be immediate.
Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps said late Wednesday that he had not received the order. He also said the women want to live with relatives in Florida, which requires approval from officials in that state.
In general, that process takes 45 days.
Mississippi NAACP President Derrick Johnson said the Scott sisters' release will be "a great victory for the state of Mississippi for two individuals who received an excessive sentence" and he has no problem with the kidney donation requirement because Gladys Scott volunteered.
"I think it's encouraging that she's willing to share a kidney so her sister can have a better quality life," Johnson said.
National NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said the suspension of the sentences represents the good that can come with the power of governors.
"It's again proof that when people get engaged, keep the faith, we can win," Jealous said.
(This version deletes incorrect reference to Barbour granting a suspended sentence to student's killer.)

Kidnappers on the prowl in Lagos

Sesan Olufowobi


It was like a scene from a gangster movie. A woman and her child, who was in a uniform of a private school, were standing in front of a house at Alakuko outskirts of Lagos State.


Pupils of a primary school.



advertisement

Suddenly, two young men on a motorcycle, popularly called okada rode into the area and stopped in front of the woman.

Before the woman could ask them what they wanted, the young man, who rode the okada slapped the woman, and before she could recover from the assault, the other passenger snatched the child from the woman and they zoomed off on the motorcycle. By the time the child was released, the family had cough up N500, 000 as ransom.

In Iju area of the state, another primary school pupil slept in one of the rooms in his father's hotel. By the time the father was ready to go home, the child had disappeared. For about three weeks, the family ran from pillar to post to secure his release. Even after the ransom was paid, the kidnappers did not release the child until after a few days later.

The two separate incidents are experiences of some parents in the past few weeks in Lagos.

There are at least six of such incidents that PUNCH METRO discovered between November and December. Apart from the Alakuko incident where the kidnappers collected N500, 000 ransome, investigation by PUNCH METRO showed that the kidnappers sometimes accepted what a victim's family could offer as a ransom.

The method being used by the kidnappers is to strike suddenly and the victims are usually pupils between age three and five.

That was what happened in Itire area of the state where two pupils were kidnapped on the same day. PUNCH METRO gathered that on the day, one of the pupils was abducted on the street while returning from his school; while the second one was abducted from school by a man, who pretended to be the victim's relative.

The same strategy was also used in Ikorodu area of the state. Two sets of Kidnappers visited the same school and concocted a story, which eventually made the school authorities to release two pupils to them.

Although these victims are back with their families; our correspondent discovered that , apart from the Iju incident, none of the other families reported the incident to the police.

The families also shunned enquiries from PUNCH METRO and those who talked to our correspondent insisted that their names, locations and identities of the victims should not be revealed.

The mother of the child that was kidnapped in Alakuko said that the kidnappers specifically warned the family that the matter should not be reported to either the police or press. She added that the kidnappers warned that they would not release the child if the family ignored the warning.

"And you expect us to call their bluff; is that fair? We have our child now and that is what matters," the mother told our correspondent.

The families of the children that were kidnapped in Iju and Alausa also refused to talk our correspondent when PUNCH METRO got hint about the incidents. As soon as our correspondent introduced himself to the father of the child that was kidnapped in Iju, the man simply said, "I will call you." He never did and he refused to pick our correspondent's subsequent calls.

But the police command in the state described the kidnappings as strange, adding that there was nothing to suggest an upsurge of the crime in the state.

Spokesman of the command, Mr. Frank Mba said, "It is a huge surprise to me because our statistics did not show that there was an upsurge in this type of crime. And if there is anything like that, you have to acknowledge the fact that it was not reported to the police. So, there is no way to ascertain that they are saying fact and not fiction."

The spokesman however acknowledged the kidnapping of a pupil in Iju. He said, "In that case, it was one of the workers in the boy's father's hotel that took him; we have since rescued the boy and he is back with his family. But no policeman encouraged the family to pay any ransom. Indeed there is a policy that we are using in the command, which was perfected by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Marvel Akpoyibo. We do not pay ransom or negotiate with kidnappers. Ransom is an incentive to perpetuate kidnapping; if the victims don't pay, kidnappers will not have a reason to kidnap.

"There have been a few cases of kidnapping in the past and these were later traced to family members, employees and neighbours who needed little amount of money. These kidnappings were foiled by us and it definitely cannot be compared to serious cases of kidnappings in other parts of the country. And as I said, in all the cases that were reported, the police in Lagos frustrated the payment of ransom and succeeded in saving the victims as well as arresting the would-be kidnappers."

Mba, however, advised parents and guardians to report to the police if their children were abducted or got missing, saying it would be a grave error if such cases were not reported.

He said that the police had the wherewithal to deal with such crime.

Mba said, "But then, if they observe little security tips, they may save themselves some agonies. For instance, people must make sure that employees, especially domestic ones, are properly vetted and even after that you must keep a vigilant eye on them for any sign of sudden change.

"Parents should also make sure that anybody that will pick their children from school must be properly introduced to the school management so that the school will not give the child out to another person.

"Drivers must be encouraged to take alternative routes to schools. And where the children would have to walk, they must walk in groups. The children must also be trained to be wary of strangers.

"Schools should also make sure that they do not release any child to any other person but the designated person. Big schools should also go a step further by installing CCTV.

"Security of our kids is the function of everybody. We must all work collaboratively to protect our children."

Is there something wrong with Africans? Britain fought a war against America, Spain fought a war against Britain and also against America but when once the Nazi Germany attacked Europe these entities dropped their differences and even joined hands with Russia to save Europe.

Dude, do you even have an Idea what u talking bout? So, what was they supposed to do? Lay down and just let Germany ram them from behind? Man, u real dumb!

The second aspect about me that makes me different is that I am half Black America who despises the word "akata."[/quote]Fam, if the rest of the world crazy, I aint bro, u best believe that! You just described urself as "Half Black-American". . . . that knocks all ur claims wayy out into the stands!!! ROFLMAO!!! Try harder, Ezuche! For now tho, ur faking sucks!

Funny, how u resurrected after Ezeuche died and you guys are basically the same! Remember ur "Ghana" statements?

Onlytruth:
I'm laughing at Ochi_Agha and his wild delusion of dragging Igbo into a Yoruba confederation.

I know that no single tribe is richer than Igbo in Nigeria (and possibly Africa). 

And the Liar-In-Chief has landed! At the bolded though I guess you right on the loochie! I mean, what with all the drugs and kidnappings yall stay involved in. Plug in the fact that yall stay doing ANYTHING for money including using yall moms for money rituals . . . . . . . yeah, I guess you right! Yall richest! Beasts!

Oh, nice try referring to EzeUche as "Ochi-Agha"!lol

Poster, this is the best decision you'll probably ever make in Your life! Who wants to live in a country where, if his neighbors to the East was to rise up he'd get eaten. I'd rather get killed in battle than get eaten by them monkirellos! lol. Hey, fly everywhere you want, even Biafra, slap the President of any goddamn country on earth: AINT SHIYYT GONE HAPPEN!!!! God bless America, and nowhere else!

Onlytruth:
LOL! Look who is talking about hated filled posts.  Dig up YOUR OWN POSTS first. Fcking hypocrite!

Your brother was raking that Samson Siasia picked an Igbo dominated Super Eagles team. He forgot that the Super Falcons team that just conquered Africa is also Igbo dominated. 

Like I've said already, I don't see any sane southern group forming a nation with you. Loser.

"Hypocrite" should never be used in a sentence to describe me. Unlike u cowardly monkey Biafrans I dont bite my tongue or try to play silly; I lay it bare all the time! I hate Biafrans! I hate u cry baby history revisionists, thieving land grabbers; Now tell how I'm a hypocrite! Unlike you that always subliminally advocates for destruction of all things Yoruba, me I come direct: like a fuxcking Cruise Missile! What u got to say now, punk?

P.S: What the Fxuckx the bolded got to do with our discussion?

Onlytruth:
Dude, I don't know what you are smoking but you are WRONG about my post!

I never said anything about "crippling Lagos economy" while developing eastern economy!

Onlytruth:
The Igbos are also in Abuja in similar numbers for the same reasons. Imagine for once that Nigeria is gone and with it the federal resources that sustain such places (FG still spend money in Lagos in big numbers due to many federal presence there), Lagos will immediately lose its favor, especially when Port Harcourt and Calabar will no longer be sabotaged by the FG. They would become FULL ports. Why should Igbo remain in Lagos? Also, Ohanaeze would OPENLY ask Igbos to return home to build it.

Once again, me thinks u've been exposed as the scoundrel liar and ethnic bigot you are. Its true, You and your fellow smelly Biafrans stay wishing things go upside down in Lagos/SW while  the East rises. Like the destruction of the Yoruba economy is a prerequisite to Ibo economic success! Sad effers!

By the way, Youve said worse than the bolded! Really aint got much time to go thru ur hate-filled posts!

PhysicsQED:
Guy, why do you keep giving yourself away as EzeUche? This is classic EzeUche. Just stick to EzeUche. That tribalist poll was no big deal.
