Xisnin: It is the same everywhere. A woman claiming to be raped is not enough for a trial let alone a conviction especially when the parties know each other. Nowhere in the world is the word of an accuser sufficient for a rape conviction. Exceptions being for pedophiles and unusual or violent encounters between strangers.
INSTEAD OF OUR LAW MAKERS TO PROSECUTE RAPIST, THEY ARE MAKING NEW LAW.

IN ABROAD MAYBE, NOT NAIJA.
REAL NAIJA GUYS, ONLY FALL WEN KILLED, OTHERWISE, NA FILM TRICK.
Cuteamigo1: the annoying thing is even guys joined in the bashing of this young man. No proff just stupid allegations and even some useless men joined in bashing from what they called non physical sexual assault. men need to do better, not everything these women say is true, investigate before you become a woke captain save a hoe
DEM DONE LAUNCH NEW ONE NI?
FROM MY HUSBAND RAPE ME TO NON PHYSICAL SEXUAL ASSAULT.
I THINK OUR WOMEN SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THINKINGG ABOUT SEX.
ursullalinda: The painful thing is that some people might not even have asked the girl in question out.......we are handling a case now........a girl of 8yrs sent an innocent man to prison.......the man is question never had anything to do with the girl.......they are neighbours and the mum wanted to get to the man for not noticing her advances and used her daughter to lie.......her brother who is a top police officer took it up and got justice for the niece not knowing the whole thing was a set up.......After 5yrs in prison........the girl who is 13 now told her uncle the truth because her mum is late and she said she is feeling guilty.......this whole rape thing is confusing.
olu77: The thing is a lot of white offspring of slave owners are humbly coming out to apologize for the inhuman treatment their forefathers meted on Africans while an african with a voice is raising her shoulder to say otherwise. It's so shameful bro. How do we make any meaningful progress when every time the world is moving forward, our people are always thinking backward. If my great grandfather had participated in such a barbaric trade I would be hiding my face in shame if I couldn't address it objectively.
I am glad that you also reasoned it.
It is very annoying and you know wat, BBC pushed it to the front page.
You see, wat she said takes the blame off the white and places it on Black or Africans.
This is wat the white claim too, so they will definately feel relieved with her comment , and in some sort of way, look down on black people.
That woman should be made to account for her comment and it should be verified.
If that is the case, her family should pay compensation and the money sent to the carribean.
olu77: This is the most senseless confession I have ever read...my grandfather captured other human beings and sold them, I don't think he did anything wrong because he didn't know better and I think we should celebrate him as a hero. Common sense in indeed not common to this our sister.
My brother that is how our people behave.
It is called selling out everybody for benefits.
Some people will say anything to live in the white man country or work for him.
vickydevoka: Everything get en own role. Pikin way no get papa de useless most tyms. All de cultist for my area de hardly get papa. Mama de spoil pikin naturally especially male child
I think the role were reversed with my parents.
Mama they like to beat, but Dad hated it.
Maybe that is why we went to boarding school, sef, who knows.
magicminister: The average Nigerian child experiences their first abuse in the hands of those that should protect them. I might get insulted for this but ever wondered why the average Nigerian is so aggressive? If you disagree with them, they retort to insults? Even wondered why the average Nigerian is very afraid of telling the truth?
It all boils down to upbringing like this. Children are individuals with minds of their own and the best way to raise a child is to win that mind over with any means but intimidation and force.
As far as I am concerned, this is child abuse! The child will agree with the dad cos she has no choice..... logic and reasoning and confidence dies the moment you resort to instilling this type of discipline!
I thank God that my own parent were not sadistic.
I did alot of shit but nobody lie me down to flog me.
My father always rescued me from my mother, the man never beat any of us.
As for my mum, as soon as i went to military bording school and entered my teen, she left me alone.
Itohanprefa: The situation back then wasn't really that simple, saying that Efik and others where slave holders and Igbos where slaves is an oversimplification, it was a free for all environment there not much in tribal affiliations back then(not like now) it was survival of the fittest and strongest, don't forget there were efik and ibibio slaves too, not to mention Yoruba, Bini and other southern tribes, these tribes also had slave holders among them too, people kidnapped there tribesmen to be sold to slavers, kindreds sold their own people to inherit land
I am not the one saying it, the academics in Europe say so.
Slavery did spread from the minority tribes, but whether or not they were specifically targeting igbo citizens, they had no hope or resources to simply storm into Igbo does and capture people.
Itoanprefa is right, minorities were largely middlemen.
Groups such as the aro, etc,etc took advantage if the divisions in Igboland and made slave transportation to the Europeans more streamlined and accessible.
[/s]
Middleman in selling another tribe.
See how sweet it sounds in your mouth.
It is that same mouth u will use to shout igbo domination.
Itohanprefa: I agree, they created the demand that pushed supply, and due to the fact that southern part of Nigeria was frequently engaged in inter ethnic conflicts at the time, those that deal more closely with the Europeans often dominated because of guns and other instruments they supplied their slave suppliers
Exactly, they start conflict or raid communities with guns, kill their able bodied men that resist and match everybody to the coast.
That is why u had bini kingdom going all the way north to make war with Igala.
Itohanprefa: The Efiks and kalabari and the rest where more of the middle men between Europeans and Arochukwu slave merchants,owing to the fact that they were coastal dwellers, I do agree with you that Igbos were victim's because the white man created the environment for slave trade and exploited Africans greatly
They were not.
Efik are regarded as Slave Owners and Igbos regarded as Slaves in the field of Africa Studies.
That is why u hear Asari Dokubo say they are the Master and Igbo the slave.
I have actually studied this as a course, so i know wat am talking about.
Itohanprefa: What the Eze Eri is doing is a process of reparations, some of our forefathers might have been instrumental in the slave trade but the bulk of the blame should still go to the whites they created the environment for the slave trade to thrive, you will be shocked at the number of African American that is of Igbo heritage both in the US and Latin America
Demand dictates supply, basic microeconomics.
Increase in demand, leads to decrease in supply and increase in price.
The whites created slavery in Africa, via demand.
Alot of people that discuss slavery willfully forget that it was not civilian whites that Africans were faced with, but the military of western European nations.
Africans had no regular army or defence.
Coastal Africa was invaded and settled upon by the whites who subverted their society and gave them leaders.
These people were utilised as instrument or attack dog to capture other africa tribes in the hinterland.
Itohanprefa: The Nri hegemony(my town is an NRI town) and all towns under its direct influence where totally against slavery, once any slave sets foot on NRI soil he or she is considered free, this didn't stop Arochukwu slavers and their Abam and ohafia mercenaries from raiding and buying slave All across other parts and clans of igboland though
In my first post, I did acknowledge Arochukwu and some Abia clans, but does that qualify the entire Igbo tribe as culpable?
U have to consider that Igbo were their victims.
U further have to acknowledge that the idea came via Efik and spread to Kalabari which is still Calabar extension circling the igbo hinterland.
It was no accident, they were specifically in search of Igbos from the hinterland as slave.
Itohanprefa: This is not entirely true, being Igbo doesn't stop anybody from acknowledging that Igbos themselves actively participated in the trade especially the arochukwu people, they raided the entirety of the Igbo hinterland capturing slaves to take to the coast, evidence of which still exists in various Aro outposts in Igbo hinterland like arondizuogu in imo state, Aro ndikelionwu and the rest, Arochukwu was a major slave trading outpost am surprised you don't know that
Today u have Eze Eri, going in search of Igbo sold into slavery.
How can Igbo claim to be a slave selling people, wen our King was never involved.
As a matter of fact, he refused to meet or see the white men.
That was why the white matched on Nri and disgraced Eze Nri.
Igbo were a victim of the transatlantic slave trade.
We were sold on three front by other tribes and naturally some of our people aided them, from Arochukwu specifically, all Igbos cannot accept involvement based on Arochukwu whom we know are related to the Efik.
Itohanprefa: All southern tribes sold their people to slave traders, that was the reality they faced then and they actually saw nothing wrong in it, the same white men that brought them education, Christianity where the slave traders so it wasn't really a question of morals, that was just their reality back then
Listen, the issue of slave trade greatly affected Igbo people.
It was not a case of Igbo selling Igbo?
Igbo as u know were not on the coast but hinterland.
The whites used the coastal tribe to kidnap Igbo people and in the case of Bini wage war and carry Igbo into slavery on the western front.
On the eastern front, Efik were used to kidnap Igbo people, until the practice spread into Arochukwu and some other Abia clan specifically.
Ogoni were brought from Ghana to work with white slave traders, they were joined by Ijaw.
Bonny, Nembi, Okrika and Opobo became the transit point for Igbo slaves on our coastal front.
Whilst Calabar was utilised as transit front on the East.
There is nothing worst than an Igbo person that dont have sense or that is an attention seeking slave.
Does she have any evidence?
My guess is that she is addicted to sucking white blokus and will say anything to appease her white employers or exonerate them of their crimes, even if it means throwing herself and igbo people under the bus.
Ndiigbo should no longer suffer this type of people that bring disaffection to our race.
If she is a decendant of a slave dealer, she and her entire family or lineage, should be punished and face the wrath of it.
Itohanprefa: chai, brother where will the funds for all these come from?
They are not buying Coach or train just making provision or space.
It is an airport city and Anambra is a cosmopolitan state.
Wen our gas and industry comes online and Onitsha remodelled.
Anambra could threaten Lagos Commercial Status, with and home grown industrial hub, commercial hub in Onitsha, Mechanical and Electronics hub at Nnewi.
Then all is surounded by aricultural hub via industrial farming and processing.
All that remains is a Tech hub, maybe at Nnewi too.
somalianprince: You are very correct because Anambra international airport is going to command high traffic in the neighbourhood of 30 to 50 million per annum. so much economic, social and entertainment activities takes place in Anambra all year road that attracts diasporan population as well.
Again, Anambra international airport shall be worldclass because the major contractors are not local ones. Craneburg a German firm is doing the runway, apron, etc. China railway company is doing the terminal building, tower. etc. Even the airport road is being done by another credible firm. Anambra is developing a truly first class aviation infrastructure that not only Anambra but Nigeria will be proud of. Good job.
Nobody said Anambra should build railway line but make provision for train access.
A minimum of two platforms for going and coming.
The best part is CHINA RAILWAY are the contractors building the airport, if you ask them on time, they can do it easily.
Amarabae: why are some yorubas bitter over Igbo success? I said some
Now, u know y we monitor nairaland. We have done alot to stem the tides, from then to now. It was worst wen we arrived, it took a beat down to tame them. They would openly call us The Enemy wen talking amongst themselves back then, as new members that came as a shock and out of nowhere becos we did not know, it was that bad.
Rocksvibes234: Yh, The railway line is part of the airport project.(Railway line that will link the south east region) But I don't think work has commenced on it, they are only working on the three major highways leading to the airport.
They need a separate teriminal area in the airport for the train and heavy vehicle.
It has to be close to the terminal building for ease of transportation for passengers.
If the train terminal is far, then the airport need to provide free shuttle to take passengers to the train station.
We are talking about bus station and train platform.
Also, cargo storage and vehicle loading area with cargo train platform.
