PoliticsRe: My View On Olisa Metuh's N400 Million Bail by johnwizey: 11:26am On Jan 20, 2016
mirakz:
My friend, let me clarify you. There are two major things in the OP's point. 1. Stealing of #400m, which he was arrested for and 2. Getting a bail from a judiciary. If you can be unbiased, with the truth you have, you will agree with me that judiciary is an independent house which ought not to have any interference from the executive, knowing that judiciary is the last hope of a common man. This scenario has clearly shown that the judiciary has been compromised not having their will power to pronounce judgement as the law requires.
What proof do you have that the judiciary has been compromised on this issue
PoliticsRe: My View On Olisa Metuh's N400 Million Bail by johnwizey: 8:36am On Jan 20, 2016
You don make sense for your mind o. Let me put it this way, if I should steal #200000 from you and I was eventually arrested, and I told you I can't return all the money, I can only return #20000 knowing fully well I can afford to pay you back your money, will you accepthuh Was it the government that asked him to chop the yamhuh Truth is, either by hook or by crook we must recover all stolen funds. If he was granted a #10M bail, what will your defense behuh The government is incompetent right!!! That 400M is too small, he should be made to pay interest on it. And for you OP, it is people like you that will threaten others with Police, Soldiers, Amadioha etc cos they refuse to pay the money you lent them talkless of them stealing it from you.

Alibaba is too civilized to be writing such in public space
Corruption is evil and must be tackled head on. But a society that does not keep to its own set of laws/rules is an accident waiting to happen. Nigerians have been through this chapter before. If we need to reform our laws for better effectiveness, then So be it.

If a court of law grants bail to a suspect, that doesn't mean the suspect has been set free. For all you know, that very suspect may get a life time sentence at the end of the day.
Go and check his instagram page and stop thinking sumone made that up.

Dude, I've been coming across this thread for a while now hoping to see how you respond to a few comments I liked on the first page...but it seems you're very artful at dodging gringrin

So let me ask as plainly as possible:
If it were a man standing with all that luggage bumping into other passengers whenever the brakes are pumped, would you have given up your seat for him?

I already envision your answer, but please go ahead and try to type more of that sensational stuff like you did in your opening post.





True equality and special favours do not and should not be existing at the same time...subsquently, this is my issue with low-IQ women who expect to be treated better on account of them being women and yet are still intent on spreading the gospel of equality.
LOL.....Truth is I have giving up my seat for the male folks that are not even carrying anything countless times even when there are women in the same bus, and none of the women has ever called me 'man wrapper' or 'gay'. I wasn't brought up to ignore people in distress and I don't see anything wrong with what I have done

FamilyYes!!! I Am A Woman Wrapper by johnwizey(op):
See this yeye man o, after wey u don stand for one hour for queue, you enter bus come give up your seat for ordinary woman…silly woman wrapper like you".
We were all passengers on a Lagos BRT bus.The fully loaded bus, bursting at the seams, with passengers "hanging" "bumper-to-bumper" on the long aisle, was heading towards Obalende from Ajah. Earlier, at the BRT terminus, I had arrived to join some passengers standing impatiently in a long, winding queue. But there was no bus in sight. After more than an hour’s wait under the blazing Lagos sun, a bus finally arrived. Inside, passengers crammed into every available space. I settled into a seat close to the aisle anno d the journey soon began. Then I noticed her. The lady, the subject of the bigoted "woman wrapper" outburst from a middle-aged man was standing a few bodies away. She was sandwiched between two men. With a heavy travelling bag in one hand, a heavy Ghana- must-go bag also dangled on her left shoulder.

At a point in the journey, the driver stepped hard on the brake to avoid hitting a car that had suddenly swerved in front of him. The force of the jolt sent passengers reeling forward. The lady in question was slammed against the man standing directly in front of her. He complained loudly about her bag getting in his way but made no attempt to relieve her of the burden. At this point, I stood up and beckoned on her to take my seat while I took the heavy travelling bag off her. The lady had hardly taken her seat when all hell was let loose.
The middle-aged man who was previously engrossed in an old crumpled newspaper looked from the girl to me and back to the girl again. You could see the contempt in his eyes – which translates to something like,‘’How can you stand up for a mere woman? Then he let out his tirades. I was too shocked to utter a word. The passengers on our part of the bus obviously enjoyed a good laugh when he labelled me a woman wrapper. He kept on ranting about why women do not deserve anybody’s favour. The fact of a man vacating the only seat in a bus for a woman seems to be alien and a taboo for this Lagosian. And to think that the passengers also included upscale well- dressed young men and women who laughed and looked at me strangely as if I had committed a sacrilege painted a picture of how our society denigrates and treats her women.
But I had seen it all before. Nigeria is the worst place to be a woman. This is a society that sneers at her female gender. Most men have bigoted view about them. Some even treat their wives as subordinates. Or worse, even. A woman is almost less than human here. It is also sometimes shocking how other women join such prejudiced men to perpetuate these biases. For example, a woman is more likely to condemn another woman over her choice of dressing. In our society, one often hears sexists use derogatory terms such as ‘’ordinary woman’ or ‘’common woman’’ to describe a female. This perception has metamorphosed into more dangerous forms of intolerance against the womenfolk. The chauvinism against women, one of which was blatantly displayed on the BRT bus was nothing new. In Lagos, like in most parts of Nigeria, women are subjected to more terrible forms of degrading treatment. For example, we all grew up to learn of the popular saying that ‘’a woman’s place is in the kitchen’’.

In spite of major achievements by the women liberation movement of yore and the feminist voices that have pushed women issues into public discourse, the glass ceiling has turned steely. In politics, corporate boardrooms, and on the streets, women are still the subject of ancient stereotypes that reinforce the ‘’weaker s*x’’ myth. You often find people, especially men, use certain derogatory terms that strengthen
these beliefs. For example, a man who is not ‘’sharp’’ while driving in Lagos is said to be ‘’driving like a woman’’. Expressions like “why you dey behave like a woman”, is common. A woman who owns or drives a new car is the envy of others: “don’t mind her, no be man buy the car give am, ashawo.” In the eyes of many, a woman cannot build a house, own a brand new car without a sugar daddy or aristo somewhere doling out the cash. An uncle recently told me not to trust any woman! “Ah, no trust any woman o-even your wife’’, he hollered. One Yoruba proverb even says “a woman is your wife, has children for you does not mean she will not bring her husband misfortune”. The bias also starts when a female child is born. Recently, when my neighbour’s wife gave birth, the man refused to throw a party like he did previously for his male child. He told me: “Sebi na girl”. It was also recently reported that a man refused to visit his wife in the hospital when he learnt of the child's s*x!
The one that beats me is the pressure the society puts on single women to get married.Another Yoruba proverb even proudly announces that “a man is the crown on a woman’s head”. That is why many women will endure the most bizarre form of domestic violence to stay married. Many even attribute delay in marriage for ladies as something of a curse. This explains why single ladies besiege spiritual centres for deliverance in search of Mr. Right.  I have also lived long enough to know that a single lady living alone is either promiscuous or a queer. But this is strange as all human beings have the right to choose the way they want to live without being the subject of bizarre and denigrating stereotypes. Now my verdict: I believe prejudice about women will be a thing of the past if all men will as from today, yes, today you are reading this article, act, respect and speak up against practices that belittle women-even at the risk of being labelled a woman wrapper. As for me, I have chosen to be one instead of keeping silence.
