A lot of whites dont really go to university, they learn on the job. Which parent has money to pay such huge bills for tuition. Also some students don't want that debt. They prepare to learn on the job and take certificate courses.

Dey there

If Buhari had wanted to interfere and make sure they returned elected, he would have had his way no matter whose ox is gored. The man purposely left all state Governors to do their thing without his interference, so that when he hand picks his own successor, if anyone tries to raise an eyebrow, he will refer them to how he gave them free hands at the state level.

You may need a rethink after comparing your lives and the lives of people you are about to die for.

Think about it before planning to recycle them.

Joeyzinho:
Whether it is IPOB or not, they created this atmosphere...Nnamdi kanu created this atmosphere. There were other non violent reasonable groups fighting for the cause but MNK came in with violence talks..



And how can this be resolved when the Igbos refused to accept the truth?

They know their fellow Igbo man is responsible, yet… they are looking everywhere for herdsmen. Herdsmen have their own issue. But, you see this monster the Igbos created, there is no way out !

Hezzyluv:
Anambra is gradually turning to the Borno of East.

Anyone that carried out this barbaric act, IPOBs or non IPOBs, Muslims non Muslims, Christians or non Christians, will never know peace in their remaining years on Earth. Untill they will be murdered brutally too.
God will punish them and their supports/sponsors.
He that killed by the sword, shall die by the sword

Their souls Rest in Peace

If you quote me and say a word against this my comment, you had joined hands in the killing of this innocent woman and her Children.
Your remaining life on Earth will be miserable too

tamdun:

On Thursday, 12th May 2022, a 200 level Economics student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, Deborah Samuel was lynched and burnt to death by mob extremities as a penalty for her acclaimed blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed (SAW) and the Islam religion in general.

According to Black Law's Dictionary, murder is the crime of unlawfully killing a person, especially with malice aforethought. Murder is willful, deliberate or premeditated.

The long interval between the time the alleged blasphemous audio was sent and the time of the murder makes it deliberate and premeditated and not provocative.

The deceased was said to have blasphemed while cautioning her course mates about sending some nonsense religious posts or stuff about a 'nonsense prophet'.

Blasphemy is the act of insulting, showing contempt or lack of reverence for God as stated by Merriam Webster's dictionary. Whether or not the lynching and burning of Deborah Samuel as a penalty for blasphemy is constitutional just raises an issue.

Section 33, Chapter one of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, provides that 'every person has a right to life and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria'.In the above scenario, there has been a breach of the victim's fundamental right to life.
Section 204 of Nigeria's criminal code prohibits blasphemy with a penalty of two years imprisonment. However, Sokoto is a sharia state and sharia law punishes blasphemy with a death sentence but must be sanctioned by the court of law or higher authorities. The actions of the mob are therefore unconstitutional and this is a criminal offence (Murder) according to Section 315 of Nigeria's Criminal Code. The United Nations Organization (UNO), also declared murder a grievous crime against humanity.

Religious discrimination, injustice, intolerance and partiality could have spiced the gruesome, atrocious, horrifying and unlawful killing of Deborah Samuel on the said date. There might be no case if perhaps Deborah was a Muslim. She probably might have been chastised by her coursemates, instead of rewarding her with an undeserved untimely death. The perpetrators have no right whatsoever to stone the defenceless girl to death.

Sharia law makes provision for only adulterous women to be stoned to death and not a 'blasphemous girl'. Section 38, Chapter four of the Nigerian constitution advocates for the right to the freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This is backed by article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted on December 10, 1948, by the United Nations general assembly.

In Twelve predominantly Muslim states in Northern Nigeria, Islamic Law (Sharia law) operates both in the criminal and religious domains, though only Muslims are supposed to be subject to it. This shouldn't have been applicable to a Christian like Deborah Samuel.

Federal authorities and higher courts prevent the implementation of inhumane sharia sentences and void sharia decisions that are contrary to federal law. As in the case of a twenty-two-year-old musician, Yahaya Sharif-Aminu who was accused of blasphemy in 2020 because of a song he shared on social media. This case attracted international press and attention and a higher court in Kano State nullified the verdict of the sharia court due to some irregularities and abnormalities in the previous trial.

This is relatable. Deborah Samuel's case could have been the same if she was not denied her right to a fair hearing as stated by Section 36, chapter four of the Nigerian constitution. Deborah was not proven guilty by any law court and as such, cannot be labelled a criminal to be deprived of her right to life.

Deborah Samuel's body was burnt after she was stoned to death. Section 242 of Nigeria's criminal code negates improper, indecent interference with, or offering an indignity to any dead human body or human remains whether buried or not. The mob's action is therefore unconstitutional and is a breach of the victim's right.

After reviewing all these laws and relating them to the above scenario, there is no other submission to reach than the fact that Deborah Samuel did not deserve the punishment meted to her. This is therefore a case of social injustice. The lawbreakers should be charged with murder, denial of the right to a fair hearing and offering indignity to a dead human body.

There are more fuel efficient, low maintenance, economy, and posher cars than the bland, over-hyped, and car-jack prone corolla.

Steel warehouse is a better option.

In terms of weight it's lighter than concrete of the same height.

It can be dismantled and reused.

It's easier to construct unlike the reinforced concrete option that involves formwork, reinforcements and casting.

It can span a longer distance without the need for internal support or columns.

However, it is more expensive than the concrete warehouse.

LeoDeKing:
They have said it, and they will do it.

But after doing it, their online version will tell us, the perpetrators are fulani herdsmen and dss.

Ipob pigs must be assuming everyone has Kanu's urine for brain like them.

Jubrin should just withdraw all fed govt agencies from Afghaneastern so they deal with themselves and continue blaming fulani herdsmen and dss while we look on.

Buhari cannot unilaterally make that decision. The fact he's the incumbent president doesn't mean he owns the party.
He might be able to influence that decision, but he can't single handedly decides how the primaries should go.
We don't like Tinubu o, but the man's political resumè speaks for him.
Same way PO is using social media to his advantage. Forget about what we are saying on social media platforms, politics is beyond eyes meet.
Our prayer is God should have mercy and make who ever emerge have our interest at heart.

Afamed:
It's PDP . No media noise. Reverse the news to Tinubu son wins and you will see all the children of bitterness who have never stepped their smelling boxers in Lagos before insulting their fathers

As it stands today, democracy is not in danger
