NOETHNICITY:
Quite unfortunate that an innocent woman and 4 children gruesomely murdered in cold blood by Ipob. Yet sone are still trying to force down our throats that the unfortunate killing of deborah is worse. No one is talking about protesting! No one is talking about their innocence. We haven't heard anything from CAN. Not a word from saint peter obi.
Even the media trivialized the killing as normal. Hypocrites everywhere

tenpipsperday:
In as much as I condemn in totality the murder of this woman and her kids but I dare ask you what was reaction to Sokoto killing and looting of Igbos businesses?



Just now you are asking if we are one country. The answer is no, we are not one country

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.

Abdulqareem:
Fictitious? I laugh in swahili. I believe you can do better than this. His case would be treated using the common law & not even the shariah law. I pity you in advance. Can you post your number, pics, contact address & perhaps forward your name to MURIC as co-respondent to the blashemous pastor. No muslim would insult Jesus(peace Be Upon Him) cos it invalidate his/her religion. it is rather suprising that christians now take pride in insulting other people's religion with baseless and toxic fallacies just to feel gud. it's a shame. Abeg Post this nonsense on facebook, twitter or whatsapp. to suffer dey hungry u abi?

maybe they find the catholic church BORING and they have moved on to more groovy and swaggalicious church where the pastor has benzes and porsche and plenty fancy suits to inspire the youth to MAKE IT.
They will also be able to meet girls in juicy sexy curvy outfits there and make connections with their fellow teenage guys who sag their jeans, wear earring and paint their finger nails.

Please Elders in the house I need a serious advice because I don't want to make mistake.

I met this girl about four months ago, I approached her and after some weeks we started dating. She told me that she broke up with ex boy friend last December because her parents were not in support of the marriage. She told me that she has nothing to do with the said boyfriend.

But recently I noticed that she still share the pictures of the ex boy friend on her Whatsapp status and even still use his pictures as her phone wall paper. I confronted her about that and she said it does not mean anything. Since we started dating she has not for one posted my pictures on her Whatsapp status but has posted that of her ex up to o three times.


The one that got me sad and made me threaten to dump her is that she posted a WhatsApp Status requesting that anyone who mention her Boy Friend's name will get a credit card rewards and most of her friends were mentioning her Ex's name and she was cool to post the screenshots of where they mentioned her ex's name. Know it that some of my friends are also her friend and they saw the status and they have been asking me if the girl is actually dating me or someone else.

Please Elders in the House what should I do. Should I quit this relationship or should I confront her and hear her out?. Please Mod move it to front page I beg You.
