Why won't he yawn with their Amala analysis

And he has attracted your Apu response

Prisons needs more funding
Judiciary needs to deliver justice with speed. Justice delayed is justice denied.
The notion of innocence of people behind bars is true, but the percentage is very small may be 1 to 2 percent. Majority committed the crimes.

We need to embrace alternatives dispute resolution in this country, not everything should go to court.

My first step into Kuje Correctional Centre was not just a physical movement—it was a journey into a reality many Nigerians never see, yet one that quietly reflects the state of our society.

I visited the facility as part of a charity outreach organised by the Knights of St. Mulumba Nigeria, Central District Sub-Council. What I encountered within those walls has stayed with me, not as a fleeting memory, but as a deep and unsettling truth.
During the celebration of the Holy Mass, I looked around and saw faces—young faces.

Most of the inmates were between the ages of 18 and 30. These were not just prisoners; they were sons, brothers, and dreams interrupted. Among them were a few older men who had spent an average of eight to ten years behind bars. Time, it seemed, had stood still for them, even as the world outside moved on.

What struck me most was not just their number, but their stories.

Many of the offences that brought them there were not crimes of hardened criminals, but acts born out of impulse, poverty, or circumstance—petty theft, minor fights, and avoidable conflicts. Let me be clear: crime should never be justified. But justice must also be humane. It must be thoughtful. It must reflect not only the law, but the possibility of redemption.

It is difficult to ignore a troubling reality: a significant percentage of young Nigerians are currently in correctional facilities across the country. Even more alarming is that many of them are not convicts—they are awaiting trial. Some have spent years in custody without their cases concluded. Years. Not months.

This is not justice. This is delay. This is a silent punishment before judgment.
Our judiciary must rise to the demands of modern justice delivery. Around the world, there are alternatives—community service, restorative justice, rehabilitation programmes—that focus on correction, not just confinement. Nigeria must begin to embrace these systems, especially for minor offences. Sending young people into overcrowded facilities for long periods does not reform them—it risks hardening them.

Yet, amid these concerns, I also saw effort.

The facilities at Kuje reflect a level of commitment by the Federal Government to improve correctional infrastructure. There are visible signs of investment—structures, systems, and provisions aimed at better living conditions. These efforts deserve recognition.

However, infrastructure alone is not enough.

The real challenge lies in how these facilities are managed and utilised. Systems must work efficiently. Justice must be timely. Rehabilitation must be intentional. Without this, even the best facilities become holding grounds for wasted potential.

As I left Kuje that day, I carried more than memories—I carried questions.
How many of these young men could have taken a different path if given a second chance earlier?

How many are victims not just of their actions, but of a system too slow to respond?

And how long will we continue to treat symptoms without addressing the root causes?

My first day in prison opened my eyes, but it also stirred my conscience.
Because behind those walls are not just inmates—they are Nigerians. And their stories, whether we choose to listen or not, are part of our collective story as a nation.

Criminals have started again. By their comments we shall know them.

They just pick people from their bedroom and lock them in prison. Continue...... And why is innocent you not in prison?

NATIONALPASTOR:
I get you that most people in that prison are innocent.

uber is a business for profit and all businesses must cut cost to achieve tangible profit.

The Avalon is only available in a 6 cylinder engine, it won't be advisable to utilise it for uber. If the car is yours sell and buy something smaller for uber.

Unless he is using it for Hire. Like he has customers that he gives prices and not Uber bolt and taxify app based pricing

No sane people or organization will support US and Israel at this point. The two are pure evil.

muyico:
Israel gat no supporter
Except US
NATO self no support them

SeverusSnape:
Is terrorist ayatollah's children at the war front too?...

They are. They are dieing too and injured.

How many children of Satanyahoo who is drumming the beats of war has been hit or gotten injured from missile?

They are on Miami beach enjoying while other Israelis soldiers and reservists are being killed in an unjust war against Iran.

We keep on telling you terrorists and war mongers, divide the land, Isreal on one part, Palestine on the other, Jerusalem divided into 2 for them, each state existing apart and recognized. Let peace 🕊️✌️ exist.

Una say No!
Now it's violence and chaos. How does it feel when you are not the only one sending the bombs? As you are sending, you are also receiving?

Isn't God a wonderful God?

Are they not God's Chosen people again? Why will the bomb hit God's Chosen people?

This shows you know nothing

franchasofficia:
Israel allowed this so called Iranian President to live just because he is as inconsequential as the 'p' in psychology when it comes to Iran's Islamic regime, he wields no power, he is just a messenger of the Iranian power wielders, but it seems he doesn't want to use his head of recent and if he doesn't retrace his steps, Israel will send him to meet his Supreme Leader so that he can get closer to Russia from the yonder

Destroyed Israel and her installation. Shocked her to the bone marrow as no nation has successfully attacked Israel before now. And Iran looks so solid and like she will get away with it without serious consequences

Elusive001:
Bros leave propaganda alone.

What has Iran done to Israel so far?

Helinuse:
Anything that makes you guys happy bro, cook it.

😅😅😅

If the Netanyahu story is no more flying, cook another one.

😅😅😅

Upon the murder of children and carnage brought upon Gaza and the shouts of we will end Hamas. Has Hama ceases to exist? No! They exist.

Cos the reason they exist in the first place is still there, the illegal occupation of Palestine by the Zionist Israeli murderers. So, Hamas Palestinians Resistance Group for self determination and Statehood will continue to exist and be recognized till the state of Palestine is established and given it's full respect in the international community.

The American terrorist regime and Israeli genocidal regime has no luck to overstretched again

tafabaloo:
Let Iran regime not overstretch her luck .

The same UNICEF that Israel refused their efforts to help Gaza children, Isreal is now seeking their intervention for Israeli children now?

God is wonderful!

But they said no Iranian bomb is hitting Isreal according to SE Upper Iweka Jewish diplomatic lobby

Watch as Nigerian Iranians will come and beat their chest for Iran.

😅😅😅

I rate Hamas stronger than Iran sef.

No nah.... Hamas is stronger than US and Israel combined.

Iran is in her own league.

Great Iran , the only country in the world to bomb the shits out of Israel and the US anf other protective allies of Isreal becomes helpless and can't do or stop shit.

Great Iran!

Before the rampant merchandising of Condemn handset and co, there's a guy I met in yaba/ojuelegba Market, Lagos in 2021. He specifically deals on condemn electronics...and he pays wella than these merchants moving around.

I took his number, but I've not really had need to reachout so far.

NairalandBishop:
Wether terrorist sympathizers like it or not. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon
They should not agree to hold talks now. They should continue to fire missiles recklessly in every direction while Israeli fighters are dancing azonto in their airspace, decimating their key leaders

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Hell Fire 🔥 Bishop

Good afternoon, I want to suggest to the admins and Seun that there is need to separate the location for adverts of Foreign Used and Registered Cars on Nairaland.

This will make navigation easy.
Thank you

Iron dome is now Iron Doom lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Nobody has monopoly of violence.

When we preached justice and peace. Don't steal land. Return to the well defined plan to peace. They said the world is promised to them 3000 years ago. Their SE janajweed terror supporters will not let us hear word saying illegal state of Isreal is invisible.

Now, body don tell everyone, US is demystified. Bombed off the middle East. Air Defense system can't defend Israel.

Trump is in shock, America has lost respect.

God1000:
Iran is hitting Israel back to back, it seems the so-called iron dome has gone on vacation

But our South East Nigeria terror , genocide and occupying imperialist supporters said Iranian bombs never reach Israel that Air Defenseless Systems , THAADless etc dealt with them
