As you've insulted me now, hope your stomach is full?

I didn't insult you. I said u r ignorant about the subject - which is true

Odidigboigbo:
Which means she would only spend 11 years in prison, if night and day are counted, and she will be out to enjoy her loot, if she default to restitute 54m. That is fair enough.

7+5 is 12 not 11. But she'll likely serve no jail term on appeal - if she has enough money

I only asked a simple question is there more killing in SE than NE?

Have more houses and villages be destroyed in SE than NE?

And I gave you a simple answer:
No one living amidst them and armed to the teeth was threatening them not to dare vote

dfrost:
Just explain to him/her gently. No need to abuse him. Some people don't actually know the law or read up on it. Especially the sentencing of it.

Be gentle with him/her. Good morning

Well, he insulted me first, after I was polite to him.
Here's what he wrote:

You’re a dunce she was sentenced to three different counts of charges 14 10 and 10
Didn’t you see furthermore?
Or you don’t know what furthermore mean
Or you’re just myopic?

Ibkhaleel01:
These people are terrible!
Fighting for A person engaged in Terrorism and all forms of treasonous acts simply because he is your type

Kai kai kai double standard and hypocrisy at its peak...


Kanu is a Terrorist of the highest order and deserves a terorist treatment, anyone supporting him is also a Terrorist

I think IPOB has moved beyond Kanu. I think the person/people currently in charge are crafter and more deadly - and know exactly what they are doing!

Mitsurugi:
Nigerians don't really comprehend when reading. I believe that by now we should know the difference between concurrent and consecutive in jail terms.

And the press plays on that ignorance in their sensationalisation of news. The headline will read "yahoo boy sentenced to 30 years", then in the final paragraph they'll hide there is an option of 50k fine!

DrObum:
Didn't they vote in Borno in 2015 and 2019?

dettolgel:
Higher than in NE?

No one threatened they should not vote..
Were they burning govt buildings and killing prominent individuals and anyone who disobeyed, and burning their houses? If u were in Anambra will u go out to vote? Remember they can still come for you AFTER you've voted and returned home

theNaughtyPope:
You don't expect everyone to think like you, or do what you feel is the 'right' thing to do

It is common sense. Some Anambrans are loyal to IPOB. The rest are afraid. Remaining die-hard party people and military

Chikeluba25:
If INEC dould conduct election in Edo amidst COVID-19, they don't have any excuse to deny Anambra their Civic right.

Question is, who will do the voting? The people won't come out to vote - some out of loyalty to IPOB, the rest, out of fear

theNaughtyPope:
E go shock you

No true Anambran will vote in that election. Only military and party aparatchiks

medexico:
I don't trust these figures

I know - how about people like lara Williams who reportedly just died of covid??

Mayflowa:
It doesn't make sense paying back except she is truly repentant. She is actually spending a maximum of 14 years whether she pays or not because the jail terms are concurrent.

paskal16:
ohh okay then

Wrong. If she doesn't pay, the additional 10 years is consecutive. It clearly says so. Meaning she'd start serving that after she finishes main sentence

theNaughtyPope:
Politicians would want to go ahead with the elections, but it will not be without collateral damages that may include the lost of lives.

Which election?? Who would come out to vote?? Anambrans didn't even come out for independence march past, including the governor!

Phoenixflap:
The trajectory of the IPOB is akin to a cruising ship without a captain, and the consequences is dire.

IPOB cannot achieve sovereignty on a platter of gold nor through violence, but through Soft Sell, their agitation will bear positive fruits.

Through democratic process, a lot can be achieved for IPOB, a whole lot.
It is in the interest of IPOB to participate and ensure that garner enough social and political capital.

Election is closer, Maduka and Soludo are closer to the people because “They needed the Vote”.

More than half of Nigerian labor force is unemployed or underemployed according to a Bloomberg report

The lackadaisical and clueless direction of this present administration has sunk our economic ship deeper, and regrettably no recourse is insight unless the status quo is disrupted.

Like wages, Loyalty is earned, and the latter, though earned , sometimes can be beyond costs.

Two types of loyalty exist according to my classification; induced and reciprocated loyalty.

I’ll give two glaring examples.

Reciprocated Loyalty!

Pastor Rapu aptly captures the loyalty of his admirers through his numerous life changing encounters, pastor Rapu provides lifetime benefits. This kind of loyalty though social, can be translated to political capital, and if scaled, is a deafening political roar because of the inherent multiplier effect.

Induced Loyalty!

Our democratic scenery aptly captures this category, and one character whose pendulum of existence swings on this principle of loyalty is FFK.

The consequences of obtaining this kind of loyalty has far reaching consequences and no multiplier effect.

A sizeable number of the unemployed or underemployed can be catered for through novelty, and naturally the principle of reciprocity comes in play.

This goes beyond buying bikes and tractors as palliatives or empowerment as prevalent in our polity.

To change our sordid narrative, we must collectively be able to say “NO” to politicians Trojan horses and to say “NO” a thriving economic environment must be ensured.

This is not achievable under this present government, but highly probable with the “Pastor Rapu’s Effect”.

I know how to achieve this on a larger scale.

Wrong. IPOB is probably currently being led by an individual much more crafty and charismatic than Nnamdi Kanu. Someone you may not even guess has anything to do with IPOB. This individual knows what he is doing and will be VERY hard to conatain.

MELVANA:
Trump did not pay attention to the new crown virus, but put all his energy on the election. When the epidemic broke out on a large scale, it pointed the finger at China and diverted the attention of voters. Trump is the master of "accelerationism."

And you are the master of CCP propaganda
(CCP = Chinese Communist Party)

She doesn't know herself. Women are like that. She needs and wants to be romanced and pursued, but sex itself, she doesn't know until right to the entrance, and even then she probably might still not know - which is why some cry rape after the fact. Bottom line, there is no formular.

SouthWestBlood:
I read about the night and day thing on Google, and it said it's not true. Although, it was about sentencing in the US.

If that happens in US u can only imagine what happens in Nigeria if you have money and don't commit a serious crime while in jail. Whole thing is a sham. Orji Kalu, etc, were sensationally sentenced to how many years again?

snoopanddre:
I don't encourage stealing and I hate thieves but I feel this is somehow too much, then how about our politicians. There is no true justice in this country. Still , fear women.

She was sentenced to 7 years (everyday is counted twice in jail) effectively, but may get off with a fine on appeal. That's not too much.

Yinkusgold:
I thank God for science, for knowledge, for light and finally for your life FreeIghoho.
Please let's continue to illuminate them because they've dwelled so much in darkness and are brainwashed, we have to do that, live for that, there must be light.
God created the heaven and the earth in 6 days (perhaps 6,000 human years), (2 Peter 3: scientists will study, observe, test and theorize over what they have seen over these years without bigotry or bias, but a religion - lunatic like atonement12 will always assume to be scientist is anti - God, the ill - informed talks on global health issues as if it's a strange thing.
atonement12 abuses religion and he is also a disappointment to education.

Well said! No mind the conspiracy lunatics. Everything is one big conspiracy of the "llluminati"!

Someone please tell this mumu what concurrently means in sentencing. She was sentenced to 14 years which is actually 7 years (because night and day are counted) but may get off with a fine on appeal!

TodYamBeans:
Will will rot in jail

Crime doesn't pay

She was sentenced to 7 years effectively, but may get off with fine on appeal.
All these super wealthy in Nigeria, do you see them invent anything, or are they super human? At the root of most of it is a crime - a crime that someone got away with!

alexxiswrites:
Even Ibori got a slap on the wrist in UK. Not saying crime is bad, but 34 years? As in no part of the money can be recouped?

You ignorant people who can't read and are therefore fooled by the sensationalizing press.
She was sentenced to 14 years effectively, which is actually 7 years (because night and day are counted), but on appeal she may get off with a fine!

sylve11:
Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief's....

Stupid write-up, this. It is desire for money and what money can do

SouthWestBlood:
34 years? Lol. Probably offended some big boys.

No, 14 years. Learn to read these their trick sentencing stuff which the press likes to sensationalize. On appeal she would probably just pay a fine!

paskal16:
Damn she is looking at 44years if she doesn’t pay up the 54million in restitution

Wrong! She is looking at 24 years if she doesn't pay.
She was sentenced to 14 years effectively. 10 years to be added if she doesn't pay. Learn to read sentencing stuff!

Makes sense

Bifwoli:
Hey mumu ,you just don't make up your own subjective list and decide which is most dangerous. You've got to have an objective 3rd party source and not just stuff outta your rear end.

Exactly. Wasting people's time. I thought it was ranking by some reputable research source, instead it's one mumu from his Nokia in his hole-in-the-wall

TOPCRUISE:
But it wasn't a reason against the President. Why did they have to remove it when it was targeted against Reagan. If that is the case the attack on the Capitol were done by mad people.
But do you know how many people that want to kill Buhari here.

I don't know what u r saying. Not guilty by reason of insanity was used by Hinckley and remains the law till date. The shooting had no impact on the law whatsoever. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!!

TOPCRUISE:
So Reason of insanity for comitting murder like this was allowed for in the USA. And was removed as defense in court because a murder attempt was made against the President of USA. If it did not happen the law will still stand today. And if this incident happened against other unfortunate world leaders those countries will be tagged lawless by the US if they sentence the attempted murderers to death

What are talking about? Reason of insanity is still a defense against murder in US. This had no impact on it at all

Vinnie2000:
I Tire ooo..

I thought it happened October 1981.

Wetin dey Worry the OP?

aviara:
A lady I am trying to preach the gospel to doesn't want to listen. She is requesting I have sex with her before accepting Jesus as Lord and saviour. Can I grant her request for the sake of the gospel?

Why not??
