We are the problem of Nigeria

Okay

My Long Essay (project) is centred upon this topic and Barrister Offor clearly, has spoken all what the Essay will be about.



Plea Bargain, is fueling Corrupt practices in Nigeria's Public Life.



Death Penalty, I submit -as done in China - is the only answer to fighting corruption in Nigeria.

If you say so.



I'm tempted to not respond than the above. But I feel I should inform you there's a difference between Law and Morality. Yes, the defendant might be guilty or should be guilty. But will the defendant be left without a lawyer to defend him? Just because he is guilty or should be meant to face the wrath of the law? For the principle of Natural law must hold, and each party to the case must be heard, and given opportunity to defend himself. It is innate in human, the nature to always defend himself whether right or wrong.


So the defendant lawyer should help EFCC's lawyer? And not defend his client? Just because your moral view or religious view is overshadowing your sense of reasoning? And logic?


Even Jesus Christ was given the opportunity to defend himself in front of Pilate/High priest.


You go to court to argue cases based on fact, and of law. Tendering evidence and countering evidence. Accepting, Denying and Contending/Contesting!



If a person is contesting your ownership to a land and has papers/documents to back his claim, should we concede he owns the land truly, merely because he has papers? Without granting you or your lawyer the opportunity to prove your own ownership? Or to scrutinize his documents/papers/title to the land, that they might be forged?




With your moral and religious views sir, we should simply condemn every accused to death? Without granting them opportunity to defend their own case?



Loopholes are there in law for the Law makers to fill/rectify, or for opposing lawyers to use to help or destroy their case.

*How Lawyers fraustrate EFCC'S anti corruption battle*

In one of the cases I had against the EFCC, I was representing a man accused of defrauding a lady from the Netherlands. Apparently, this Dutch lady had a falling out with her Nigerian boyfriend, who relocated to Nigeria. She contacted the EFCC by phone. The EFCC coached her how to write a petition against the man, and how to embellish such petition. The lady wrote her petition claiming that the man promised her marriage and called it off after she had sent him a lot of money. In her petition, she referred to an attachment which was a breakdown of the monies she sent to him, dates and notes. That petition was translated into English Language. The attachment was also translated into English.

As I was preparing for trial the night before the date, I carefully read through the petition again. I could see the story did not add up. But when I was going through the attachment, I saw one line of footnote that was written in Dutch. I used my app to translate it to English. I got the message. But the fact remained that that part (one line of footnote) of the document was in a foreign language and was not translated into English as our Evidence Act required.

During trial, the EFCC lawyer tried to tend the petition and the attachment. I objected. The judge asked for my ground for objecting. I did not want to give my specific ground. Instead, I told the judge that the document they sought to tender did not conform with the requirement of the Evidence Act and thus should not be admitted. The judge pressed me to specify which section of the Evidence Act was violated. But I knew that if I were to tell the judge, it will alert the EFCC lawyer and they would quickly correct their mistake and try again to tender the document through their next witness. So, I did not reveal my ground at a time that the EFCC still had the opportunity to correct their mistake. I knew that the EFCC lawyer did not realize that footnotes are part of the document in which they appear and the language of the footnotes must also be translated into English. I knew they would think that one line of “useless footnote” would not make any difference.

This document was so important to their case. I knew that if that document was rejected by court, their case would fall apart like a pack of cards.

I waited until they had closed their case. There was no way they could correct their mistake. In the closing argument, I raised the issue again. I pointed out that their evidence must be rejected because it was written partly in a foreign language without English translation. They argued that it was “only a footnote”. I countered that it was part of the document. I argued that footnotes are so important because they explain the meaning of the main text, and the footnote must be in the language of the court, which was English. In fact, I asked the question: “What if the footnote is saying: ‘All that is on this document is untrue’” The footnote could actually have cancel everything in the document. So, it was an important part of the document and should have been in English language in order for it to be admissible into evidence and since it was not so-translated, it must be rejected. Indeed, without the footnote in English, the court could not be said to have read the entire document and it cannot reach a judgement based on a partial reading such important document. They put the footnote there because it was important for the understanding of the document. The court agreed. Their case failed again. It was beautiful, you know.

Copied

Nice one! I don't see how the "Lawyers frustrated the EFCC's fight of Corruption," here.


What I saw was good Advocacy by the Defense Lawyer. He knows his job. The FRN(EFCC) Prosecutor should have done his homework well.


Sadly, they didn't and the smart lawyer won his client's case.


Whether or not the Defendant was guilty; and should have faced the wrath of the law, are different questions. And those should be answered by the FRN(EFCC) Attorneys, for a job badly done.

I'm a freshman in the University of Ibadan (not gonna specify my department). We're resuming next Monday (online) and a WhatsApp chat group has been created by some of my course mates, I joined and checked through the profiles, from the names and profile picture I was almost certain that I was the only male there, then they started doing this introduction with their real names ಥ‿ಥ.
As at now, we're about 40 in the group and I'm the only human with a penis ಥ╭╮ಥ

Jesse! How many you go arrange for me? I serious o

Emax911:


thanks, am already on it

You can go to a close Pharmacy and get "Read a Dream" insecticide. It is a light purple container.



It kills scorpions. Tested! But you can go ahead with other advice.


Mine is just cost friendly. Say 1,200-1500.

richestjozy:


Thank you so much. I have tried it but it is saying that I cannot modify the post.

The Sister has been calling your line but you're not picking. But I'll forward your update to her so she can contact them.




Thanks for your kindness sir. God bless you.

richestjozy:
Good day everyone. I came across this young lady (pictured below) on my way to the office this morning (10/2/2021; 7:20am). She greeted me and I offered her #50 as I thought she wanted to ask for money but she declined the money.

Instead, she requested that I help as she did not know where she was. She sounded more to me like a kidnap victim who was later released but had lost her memory. She only gave her name as Doyin and mentioned places around Redemption Camp, Lagos-Ibadan Express Way, Berger, Ogba and Mowe as the only places she could remember as she could not remember much.

She also remembered that she is a member of RCCG and that was all. I contacted the nearest Police Station but I was told that they do not handle cases like that. Please contact me on 08172053543 if you know her or have any info about her or her family. Thank you.

I know this girl. Have you been able to get to her people yet? Her sister is my Aunt's friend. I've screenshot this to her, so Doyin's sister "Shaki" might contact you.


For you to be sure it is Doyin's sister, ask for how Doyin talks, I mean her voice/tone.

Rest in Peace Pa Jakande!

Like I said , his travails is officially motivated . Have met with him one on one while in the prison. There is more to it. Just some few months to his retirement

Oh, okay sir. I strongly advise he Appeals.

Godstime234:


I believe he definitely will. But my fear is the power that be that wants him down by all means.

How do you assume there's a power that be that wants him down?

Ryan03:
you are very correct. My argument is with the sentence. Yes he should receive higher punishment but life imprisonment? Ah!

Good morning Sir. Thank you sir.



Only reading the full case and getting to know the Reason for the Decision of the court can make us understand why such a Sentence.



The case will probably go on Appeal, if the Officer's lawyer knows his job.

Karleb:


A just law sentenced thieves to 5 years imprisonment but the innocent fellow who bought from the thieves with his own money gets life imprisonment?

As far as I'm concerned, the seller could have lied about the real owner of the car.

People especially mechanics help others sell cars in Nigeria from time to time. It's not strange.

Kidnappers sir! Not thieves! I don't have access to the way the Prosecution framed the Charge. If I were to be in the Prosecutor's shoes, I will frame the charge to include Robbery or Stealing. So as to add to whatever sentence the accused/defendant is getting for Kidnapping and other related offences.


I wish I have the full case. That way I might be able to understand the Reasoning of the Court for arriving at such sentence for the Police Officer.

Yet, I believe he's getting that not only because of buying stolen property, but also for negligence, aiding and abetting, and many more offences or code of conduct he might have broken just with buying a stolen car.



I searched online and I saw 10years for kidnapping. This is subject to what textbook or Law I might access to find out sentence for kidnapping(not readily available at the moment). But I believe if the kidnapping had involved injury or murder, the sentence would have been different.


The way Robbery is different from Armed Robbery, so is the sentence different.

I modified my comment sir. You can through it again. I believe I addressed the above judiciously.

Karleb:


That makes two of us. The law even stated that if one buys a stolen vehicle it means they are aware that the vehicle is stolen.

How just is such law?

The law fix you with the knowledge that once you buy it, you know everything about it before paying for it. That is, you paid for it after carrying out due investigation into how the owner came about the property.



There's nothing unjust in that law sir.

However, there are defences if the owner so conceal his fraud, that prevents you from finding out his fraudulent act.



It must be noted sir, this is a case with extraordinary circumstance. This case involves an officer of the law. He has all the resources to know how the vehicle came into being, but he ignored it.


Plus sir, it was stated he knew it was stolen.


On the issue of unfair or imbalance sentence of the court. I can't comment fully on that, I haven't commit to reading about sentencing in general. But there is what is called Plea Bargaining, it is enshrined in Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015. Where a criminal can "cooperate" with the court in investigation for a lesser sentence. I believe this is what played out here with the Sentence.



NB:- My long essay is somewhat focused on this Plea Bargaining. I don't like the concept. Though there's argument it helps the court or judiciary to easily and timely dispense a case.




If you want to buy a land from me, won't you care whether I have the right to sell? Which other of my family might be entitled to the land? How I came about the land? Is it family property or individual ownership or community owned? Who was the first occupier of the land? Family descent? Is it a virgin land? ETC



I'm open to corrections Sir!

hmmmmmmmm, what do I say now
As at today, the majority of the ASUU members that I know are still been owed four months salary, excluding this January
Very few ASUU members have been paid completely, while majority were just paid two months in December 2020.

God go help us sha. Thanks boss for the response.

sinkhole:

na so so stories o, all you hear is "it is with finance", "it is with NUC", "it is with ministry of education", etc. The only thing is that some University VCs were sent memo that the "virtual money" should be shared in the ratio of 75% (for ASUU) to 25% (for other University Unions).

Thanks boss. We hope the money touch ASUU hand soon. But salaries dey go as promised?

Good morning Sir. Shey Government don drop the 40billion now?

Very good thread.

RichieMichie:


I believe this is the thread you seek
https://www.nairaland.com/3723391/

He deleted earlier comments on the thread, I dunno why, but going further, he left the rest. So it'd be frustrating starting from the first page

Preferably start from page 12 https://www.nairaland.com/3723391//11 where he started a new batch, the comments are still there.
Note:He's the Nobody in the thread

Thanks boss. I still follow the thread but I was checking from page 1. Thanks for the heads-up. Now I see everything from page 12.




Oh, what I meant was Organic means, not inorganic. My bad!!!

emmaachile2:

I know but what's was the thread about? Broiler, Moringa, ?

I think it was the Broiler thread. It was a thread you also gave day to day update about your poultry. And I think you explored organic means of raising your birds - if I'm not mistaking.

emmaachile2:

Which of the thread?

There's no longer title to the thread. But it is the second thread after the Noiler thread.

emmaachile2:

I know nothing about the scam issues leveled against some monikers. The guy has not provided any proof.

Sir. One of your thread of 2017 that I followed to always come back to for help has gotten all the information on it wiped. Now I wish I took the screenshot.
