A Lugbe Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Thursday sentenced a 30-year-old bricklayer Jeopardy John, to three months imprisonment for stealing two packets of Maggi cubes.

John, had pleaded guilty to a three-count of criminal trespass, housebreaking and theft.

“I am sorry for the act I committed and I am pleading with the court not to send me to jail.

“It was hunger that made me to steal. For some time now I don’t have job, please sir forgive me, and I promise not to steal again,’’ the convict pleaded.



The judge, Mr Garba Ogbede, however, sentenced John to three months in prison but with an option of payment of N15,000 fine.

Ogbede also ordered that the recovered items be returned to the owner.

According to the judge, the punishment would have been more severe if he had not pleaded guilty, and saved the court the pains of a prolonged prosecution.

Earlier, the prosecuting counsel, Miss Vivian Oporomo, had told the court that on July 12, Eneojo John of the same address, reported the matter at the Iddo Police Station.

Oporomo told the court that the convict broke into the complainant’s shop at about 1.30am and stole two packets of Maggi cubes, valued N700 and one DVD player valued N10, 000.

She said that when the complainant caught the convict inside his shop with the said items, he raised an alarm.

Oporomo said that during police investigation and interrogation, the convict admitted to committing the offence.

The prosecutor said the offences contravene sections 342, 347 and 288 of the Penal Code.

The convict was however unable to pay the N15,000 fine and was taken to Kuje Prison.

If mimiko leads pdp to the polls, they will loose but on the other hand, APC ain't ready

I think the other parties should take advantage of the loopholes in the PDP And APC.
KOWA Party, where art thou?

Im name for be BorroFACE then, since im face no look like person we fit win.

In between Jamiu Ekunbga and Olusola Oke, APC has a glimpse of hope to win but ruling out the power of incumbency of the sitting governor is at ones own risk!

I would said no to jungle justice but Feb 2nd, 2016 remains fresh in my mind, I entered one chance and the dare demons robbed me to the marrow!

If there is anything more than jungle justice, please serve this onye-oshi

I am sorry, dear God!!!

I dont judge atheists cause I believe he/she must ve a reason for being one.


I cant marry an atheist cause I believe in God and its important to me I marry someone who doesnt just believe in the existence of God but also God fearing because thats the foundation I want my family to be built on and also we get to encourage each other in our faith esp during travails.


I'm sorry about the loss of your brother and I know you feel cause I too ve felt and asked same questions BUT I remembered so many other things ve asked God for that he did even the ones I didnt ask and I knew that God is Mystery, faithful and his ways are not the ways of man. Maybe it was your brother's appointed time and according to christian doctrine each man has it own appointed time and would surely die.. Sometimes we dont need to ask questions, we just need to ve FAITH.


Even when Jesus was on earth there we still hungry and homeless people. To We God has given, we are expected to give and help those who are less privledged just like the Story of Lazarus and the Rich man from the bible. Its God's own way to create a balance amongst his creation IMO.

Christianity is surrounded by mysteries which the human mind cannot comprehend. I laugh when people become atheist just to get their questions answered funny enough they get confused the more.

Kudos to you, you responded well!
There is a purpose for everything that happens, somebody dieing does not take away the Existence of God, it's fir a purpose.
Homeless and the needy are for a purpose, for we oppurtuned to have enough to show charity.
Even having enemies at times is for a purpose, abi in whose presence would God anoint my head with oil and cup running over?

Congrats! Chile

With Refiner I still stand!

Congrats to Lanicky though.

Op, endeavor to show us Royce road, Lagos street, Church Road by Wetheral, Old Nekede road by Akanchawa, Douglas market etc after the sanitation today.

If you will be fair to yourself, you would admit that majority of major junctions in Owerri were in utter shambles after the sanitation today.

My vote is for Refiner.

Abeg, your simile is a bomb

Op, thank you is all I can muster.
I am tired of explaining this to the common sense senator sympathizers.

Thanks goodness, we have something newsworthy on FP, not all those fake celebrities news.
Op, please more of this.

Brexit will have its effects, both negative and positive on the UK and those who see the UK as their save haven.

RIP Tupac: love your hit track 'California love' and 'Ada Ada'


Lols!

This is the scenario that played out last week in a church, where the guest minister is from China, he was speaking through a interpreter but the confusion in the church that day is both the interpreter and the entire congregation find it difficult the know when he is speaking his native Chinese or when speaking in tongues during the deliverance session.

Who in the house (Nairaland) can help out.

Happy Sunday!

chikel2000:
PDP in crisis, if only they can be organized now, APC need to be chased out come 2019 even if its KOWA party, I dnt mind

Please, dont undermine our Great KOWA Party as 'If its even KOWA Party'
Show some respect, bro!

ok, lets pretend that this pictures are photoshopped.

No right thinking "celebrity" or "role model" will upload such garbage in the name of birthday 'thingz'

What the h..l is going on in this country?
Every policy is set to siphon the masses dry, no policy or law from any agency, either government or private has favored the common man, it's always increasing the hardship.

Mind you, this has started way before Gej or PMB.

Increased:
Call tariff
PHCN bill
Transport fare
Custom duties
House rent
Exchange rate


Haba! Walahi I am tired.

I blame Buhari for this!

Drink your oil, we would eat our yams, Arewa chieftain tells Niger Delta ON JUNE 5, 20169:07 PMIN NEWS, POLITICSCOMMENTS 736 0 2 0 Senator Joseph Kennedy N Waku, (JKN Waku), the stormy petrel of the Middle Belt was elected senator for the Benue North West Constituency of Benue State,    on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in 1999. Not long after he came into national renown following his controversial call for a military coup on the claim that President Olusegun Obasanjo was derailing the democracy project. Since then he has been an unrepentant critic of President Obasanjo, and a major political figure in the North. Waku is not only a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC but also  of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF. In this interview, he speaks on current national issues. Excerpts: By Joseph Erunke What is your reaction to the renewed insurgency by militants in the Niger Delta? In the first place, what were the offences committed by these people before they were pardoned? Are they not criminals? If I were the president, I would jail them. So, are you ruling out dialogue as proposed by some people as a way of resolving the problem? What kind of dialogue? Let them bring to table what they want. Let them do what they are doing, they will also suffer it. Are they also not suffering when they ruin the economy? Are they not facing the same problem like you and I? They are talking of marginalization today. If you create Biafra today, is Biafra solidly Igbo’s? It’s not. When you go there, you would find a southern minority who will tell you that they don’t want to be part of it, even among the Igbo. Some Igbo will tell you that they don’t want it. If there is definitive kind of discrimination against certain segments of the country, that needs to be addressed because injustice creates dissatisfaction. If there have been injustices against one particular group in this country, let’s address it and not by taking the law into their hands. That is criminality. We are also affected but we want to take it in a matured approach. You cannot go and begin to destroy state apparatus in order to achieve your agitation, it is against the law. I am not in a position to talk about which contract was revoked because I am not involved in that. If those contracts were illegally awarded without going through the due process and the current administration wants to follow due process, what is bad about that? Go and do your investigation on that contract to see whether the old law that qualifies one for such contracts were made. What do you award contracts to militants for?    In the first place, the name ‘militant’    is criminality. It is only this country that somebody will come back and say I am a militant and then ‘you award him contract.’ If they claim to be agitators as they are saying, then let them come out with their demands and not by holding the state to ransom. Now, how would you want the government to handle this situation? My advice is that you can’t take government for ransom. If their livelihoods have been damaged considerably by the pipelines and they have nowhere to go, let there be adequate compensation to them. It is not to take laws into their hands. And by the way, let me be honest with you, this is natural resources; nobody owns it and nobody farms it but by virtue of the location that you find yourself. If there is ecological diversification and you need to do something for your livelihood, then you table this issue to the federal government so that there would be amicable resolution Giving the adverse effects of their actions, will it not be better to seek dialogue? What do they need? Let them come out and tell government that ‘this has been our farmland, it has been devastated, we have no land to farm anymore’ and then bring a proposal to the federal government. This is how it should be done than issuing threats. If I were the president, I would have ended that thing by now. How would you have done it? Yes, by closing the whole thing down. Before oil came, didn’t this country exist? So, what are you talking about? We have been blindfolded and Nigeria became so lazy, a nation of cheap money. Before the oil, we had cocoa, we had palm oil, groundnut and pyramid, and those were the things that actually helped to develop the oil. At a point, we in Benue challenged them that okay,’ let them go and drink their oil, we would eat our yams and then see who will survive.

Op is not detailed enough, in which state of Nigeria is Mbaise?
You see, not every one is from the East, talk more of from Imo state.

The motive behind the tradition is good but it's an indirect way of allowing these girls to play away matches and giving those loose girls hope of marriage, at least to a female husband.

President Muhammadu Buhari today hosted former President Olusegun Obasanjo at the Aso rock Presidential villa.



Although, the reason for the meeting is yet to be made public, here are reasons why Obasanjo may have visited Buhari.

1. Niger Delta Avengers and other security issues

Obasanjo probably just wants to drop some tidbit on how President Buhari can strong-arm the militants and other troublemakers into submission.

2. State of the Economy

The Nigerian economy under Obasanjo was better than one year under Buhari has been. Obasanjo most definitely has some magic tricks he could share with Buhari.

3. Check on Him

Rumour has it that ''President Buhari cancelled all his trips because he's a bit under the weather'' . As a good Nigerian elder, Obasanjo is probably just checking in to say ''Baba have you swallowed your Paracetamol today?''.

4. Looters list

Obasanjo most certainly wants to know if his name is on the looters' list that was supposed to be released yesterday.
