A total of 1,020 grammes of substances, tested as cocaine three years ago in Police Forensic Laboratory, have mysteriously turned into Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), while in the custody of the police.

The transformation was noticed after a re-test of the substances this year by the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA).

This resulted in the acquittal and discharge by an Accra Circuit Court yesterday of a woman standing trial for possessing the substances.

The woman, Nana Ama Martins was arrested in 2008 with the substances.
The court has indicted the Police Administration and has ordered the Inspector-General of Police to institute a service enquiry to determine who might have tampered with the substance.

AFRICA WE HAIL DEE!!!

The drug “Edolite”, according to Prof. Izevbigie is very potent in the management of diabetes, prostrate enlargement in men and bosom cancer in women is currently produced in America and would be produced locally in Nigeria as from February 2012.

Management or Cure,
Please clarify that statement,

Aparche:
In 2Corinthians 12:2, paul mentions a third heaven; this means that there are three heavens: 1st, 2nd & 3rd heavens. First heaven being the air that we breathe(atmospheric), second heaven the place where angels and devils dwell(earths heaven), and third heaven being God's heaven(planet heaven). In my opinion Gen. 1:1 was referring to either the 1st or the 2nd heaven or probably both. Remember that He had already created the angels before he made man. So they must have been dwelling somewhere,

I don't think so,
Paul was referring to the next life

Just as there are different degrees of righteousness on the earth, there are kingdoms of differing glory in the next life:

1) the celestial kingdom is the highest, the Glory of the Sun
2) terrestrial is next, the Glory of the moon
3) telestial is last, the Glory of the stars

If we are worthy, we can be placed into one of those Kingdoms of God. God himself is in the Celestial Kingdom, which is eternal happiness.

THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO NIGERIA.
From December 31, I will be a HAPPY man.
Okada is a disgrace to our country and a bad habit we must drop.

Another "TO" propaganda

Another "TO" propaganda

I did this to a friend of mine who had mouth odour,
Whenever I know I will see him I will share a mentor with him.

This statement by the CJN doesn't make sense.

Let's reason: A particular charge has been brought against a particular corrupt public servant lets say
EMBEZZLEMENT of public funds. which let's make an assumption carries a minimum of 5 years and a maximum
of 15 years.

The defendant has a choice to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge,

Statement: by CJN
******************
Plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case whereby the prosecutor offers the defendant the opportunity to plead guilty, typically for a lesser charge for a reduced punishment/sentence. It is a prosecutorial tool that allows criminal defendants to avoid the risk of conviction at trial on the original more severe charge.

****************** I am not grounded in law, but I don't think that is true.
I believe a plead bargain offers the defendant the opportunity to plead guilty, typically for a reduced punishment/sentence
You plead guilty and then get the minimum sentence, if you decide to allow the prosecutor go through the trouble of a trial then you get the maximum

I don't understand the statement of the CJN, can someone please help me with some explanation, ?

(Nairaland is a true reflection of the society we live in)
From most of the comments posted here, I can see that
Nigeria will be a terrible place to live at the moment.

Nevertheless, he is the best president Nigeria has had so far. And in my opinion, not a failure.[/quote]Are you serious or just joking with your statement?

Medicine men in my village can do the same.
During my grandfather's burial  -  one fetish man came to our family demanding some money
saying if we don't pay he will send down rain during the burial.
My uncle refused,
True to this words, They couldn't bury my grandfather that day because the rain was pouring,
People were sent to look for this man and the money was given to him,
the next day - no rain,

WWE is entertainment much like the movie industry,
It is reality played out with a script written out and delivered to the wrestlers
who's responsibility is to keep fans entertained,
WWE is staged not FAKE

Siasia got what he deserved, he was not matured enough to handle the Super Eagles.
carrying a couple of over aged players to an under-aged tournament doesn't make you
a good coach.
This is to serve as a lesson for all aspiring incompetent coaches who think that coaching  
a national team like Nigeria is not hard work and requires the best in the industry,

DNA evidence is there waiting for someone to use his common sense
and solve the case,
Obtain DNA from semen if any and then keep it in the Police file,
When Nigeria advances to the stage where we can keep DNA record of criminal, immigration files etc,
Names will pop up when compared to DNA at the scene,
It might take 20 years but they will catch the culprits,
THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE

I totally disagree,  If the allocation for the local government was increased, it would
result in more looting for the chairmen.
There is a saying, "If ye are faithful in little things, then ye shall be faithful with Bigger things"

Instead the Local Government should be audited more often, the climate should be harsh for
elected chairmen who want to loot,
When I see the level of corruption within each L.G.A I weep for Nigerians,
A L.G.A Chairman spends his tenure looting, fighting his enemies and doing everything else
except the very reasons he was elected in the 1st place,
After his tenure, he is then re-elected based on merit appointment,

tubolancer:
Gaddafi understand our problem and he was honest about not minding the atrousity he had committed in the past, his death is very painfuk to us.

I thought the definition of the word us means
a group of people as the indirect object or direct object of a verb,

Guy change that us to me,
Gaddafi was crazy to think he alone was born to rule and commited crimes against humanity,
He suffered for making the wrong choices,

How are they planning to bring in Ghanaian doctors when the doctors here in ghana
are on strike also

Gaddafi had only himself to blame,
he had 2 options

1. Resign peacefully and go on exile to Chile etc,
    Benefit: Be alive
    Disadvantage: Lose your wealth and status, he's no longer president because the people said they are
                            fed up of being ruled by one man, they want change,

2. Stay and Fight and resist any move to bring change to Libya,
    Benefit: Stay as president and enjoy wealth, power and everything in between,
    Disadvantage: Lose your life, be disgraced and be the cause of dragging the war with
                            more lives being lost,

We all know the option Gaddafi took.
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE
BUT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE ALREADY FIXED TO YOUR CHOICE,

GADDAFI HAD IT COMING,
