Crime › Chicken Stealer's Death Sentence Commuted. To Be Released In 2025 by Flangelo12(op): 4:45pm On Dec 18, 2024 |
hours ago A Nigerian man who has spent 10 years on death row for stealing some hens and eggs has been promised a pardon by the governor of the south-western Osun state. Segun Olowookere was 17 years old in 2010 when he was arrested along with his accomplice, Morakinyo Sunday. They were said to have attacked the home of a police officer and another person with an old-fashioned wooden gun and a sword but only got away with the poultry. In 2014, Justice Jide Falola of the Osun State High Court sentenced the two to death by hanging after finding them guilty of forcefully breaking into the police officer's house and stealing his belongings. There was an outcry across Nigeria at the time as many felt the sentence was too harsh. The duo were subsequently moved to the notorious Kirikiri maximum security prison in Lagos state where they've been in the death row wing. In a statement on Tuesday, governor Ademola Adeleke directed that Olowookere should be pardoned as it was important to protect the sanctity of life. "I have directed the Commissioner for Justice to initiate processes to grant prerogative of mercy to the young man. "Osun is a land of justice and equity. We must ensure fairness and protection of the sanctity of lives," the governor posted on X. The fate of Morakinyo Sunday, who was sentenced alongside Olowookere, is unclear as his name wasn't mentioned in the statement. For years, Olowookere's parents, human rights groups and other Nigerians have fought for his release. His parents were recently on a podcast where they cried and begged for their only child to be pardoned. He is expected to be freed early in 2025. Nigeria has not carried out an execution since 2012 but there are currently more than 3,400 people on death row. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgm92r74yd0o

BlackKafka: Demand vs Supply
As someone who has managed HR in a number of blue-chip firms, I would tell you for free that chartered accountants ARE always in demand. If you are chartered, have a 2.1, and are under 26 maximum, you are almost guaranteed to get a decent paying job.
Likewise if you have by a stroke of luck passed 3 papers of the Actuarial certification, or 2 levels of CFA, you have VERY strong prospects of getting a great starting job in insurance and finance.
Even in America, if you have a B.SC in Gender Studies, just prefer to become a Bartender or Barrista cos you aint going nowhere.

descarado: Hmm. You just don't start PhD abroad if you are not already working in that field. Only a novice will do that. Also depending on the country, you can get student loan to help offset the bill. I have seen many. Student loans are what they are...loans. No guarantee you get a job. Imagine completing a PhD in Philosophy for instance. There are many. |

Starzo: Its not for me
Being the first of my kin/kind to do something is even more motivating for me That may be for you. However, a kid sees Kanu and says he too can achieve even better it. Lots of Nigerian musicians saw the likes of Wizkid and Davido, which propelled them in their own little way. Seeing your kind achieve is easily one of the greatest sources of inspiration even in other endeavours. |

In August 2023, Kaplan dismissed a countersuit and wrote that Carroll's accusation of rape is "substantially true". |
