PoliticsOscar Pristorius Cleared Of Murder by kernel504(op): 1:34pm On Sep 11, 2014
Oscar Pistorius cleared of murder
Relief for athlete accused of killing his girlfriend in 2013, although final verdict on culpable homicide still awaits
September 11, 20147:18AM ET
South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius was cleared of murder Thursday, but still awaits a ruling on culpable homicide over the shooting death of his girlfriend at the couple's home last year.
In a ruling announced in Pretoria, Judge Thokozile Masipa said the 27-year-old amputee athlete could not have foreseen he would kill the person behind the door, 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp, on February 14, 2013.
The half-year trial has fed intense media interest worldwide, with live broadcasts being carried by 24-hour news media at key points during the testimony.
Nearly 40 witnesses testified, including Pistorius, who broke down, weeping and at times and vomiting as he heard how Steenkamp's head "exploded" like a watermelon under the impact of his hollow-point bullet.
Prosecutors described the double amputee as an egotistical liar obsessed with guns, fast cars and beautiful women, who was not prepared to take responsibility for his actions.
Defense lawyers sought to explain there are "two Oscars": a world-class athlete and a highly vulnerable individual with a serious disability who acted out of fear, not anger, when he fired the fatal shots.
The sprinter does not deny that he killed Steenkamp, but questioned why he did it. He said he thought he was shooting at an intruder and that Steenkamp was safely in bed.
The prosecution said he killed her in a fit of rage after an argument.
Pistorius faced 25 years to life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder for fatally shooting Steenkamp in his home.
With that outcome now dismissed by the judge, he could still face years in jail if found guilty of murder without pre-planning, or of negligent killing. Pistorius could also be acquitted if Masipa believes he made a tragic error.
Once a poster boy for disabled sport, Pistorius has been stripped of lucrative endorsement deals by global brands and has withdrawn from all competition.

The family has a right to ask the state legal officers to step aside, if... They feel the case is been compromised, and that will give room to out-of-court settlement, depending.

This case is somehow. Nobody can really judge his mind. But God knows best
Look in law, ignorance does not have a place, meaning he can only go free if... They family of the deceased, wants to settle outside the court.
if not, killing with or without an intention has a prize.

They need to jail him, remember that MURDER means killing with an "intention" which in Nigeria is life sentence or 21 years, while MANSLAUGHTER is killing without "intention", which bags 10th years in Nigeria.
So even if... They want to aid the young man, he should go in for Manslaughter, which is lighter.
Secondly, it will serve other whites in South Africa, who think Blacks are animals.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Seeks Swap Of 30 Chibok Girls For 18 Chiefs by kernel504(m): 11:23am On Sep 11, 2014
mistudreh: Boko Haram seeks swap of 30 Chibok girls for
18 chiefs
After a secret negotiation, Boko Haram has agreed to
release some of the abducted 219 Chibok girls, The Nation learnt yesterday.
The sect has listed 18 of its key members, who it said
should be freed from detention in exchange for the girls.
But there was a snag last night because while the
government wanted freedom for all the 219 Government
Secondary School, Chibok girls, the sect said it would free
only 30. The girls have been in captivity for 149 days.
Boko Haram sent the list of its commanders and the 30
girls to be swapped to a minister, who is also a lawyer, an
elderstatesman and a key facilitator of peace with the sect, Comrade Shehu Sani, who is also the President of the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, according to sources.
The list, it was learnt, was sent after secret talks between a government delegation and a Boko Haram commander,
who is being detained in Kuje Prison in Abuja. But there
was no confirmation of this last night.
According the sources, the delegation, whose membership was kept under wrap, discussed with the commander, who is simply described as Umar.
One of the sources said: “Some top officials met with Umar about two weeks ago in Kuje Prison to discuss issues connected to the fate of the Chibok girls.
“We heard some inmates sharing this information that the sect might swap the girls with Umar and others. But all the details are still secret because Umar keeps to himself a lot.”
But another source said: “The delegation had a fruitful
negotiation with Umar, who is one of the highly-rated
commanders of Boko Haram. The group assured Umar of a swap and he has been looking forward to it.
“The sect has given a list of 18 of its members to be
swapped with the abducted Chibok girls.”
It was, however, gathered that the fresh negotiation has
suffered a little setback because Boko Haram has agreed to set free only 30 of the remaining 219 girls in its custody.
The government has offered to release the 18 key Boko
Haram leaders/ members only on the condition that all the Chibok girls will be freed.
Some security agents are said to have given “cautious
advice” to the government when there was “no full
assurance that all the girls will be released”.
“So, technically, the release of 30 girls was unacceptable to the government based on the advice of some security
agents,” another source said, adding:
“You can see why Nigerians should stop blaming Boko
Haram from continuously keeping these girls in captivity.
What is of concern now is to get even these 30 girls out to prove to the whole world that they are alive.”
Sani simply said last night: “No comment.”
Earlier in May, Sani explained why he and some Boko
Haram contacts had audience with ex-President Olusegun
Obasanjo in Abeokuta.
He said the session was meant to open a new channel for
dialogue with the sect to rescue the girls.
He said: “The meeting in Abeokuta was aimed at
repackaging and salvaging the dialogue option.”
It was not immediately clear if the latest talks had any
connection with the repackaging or not.
The Chairman of the Presidential Fact-Finding Committee
on the abduction of Chibok girls, Brig-Gen. Ibrahim Sabo,
had on July 22 said the incident was real, contrary to
misinterpretation in some quarters.
He also said 276 pupils were abducted, but 219 were
unaccounted for, as at the time of submitting the report.
He said 57 of the abducted pupils had been reunited with
their families after escaping from the sect.
Gen. Sabo, who made the disclosures in an address at the presentation of the committee’s report to the President, said 119 pupils escaped from the school premises before the insurgents took away their classmates.”
http://thenationonlineng.net/new/boko-haram-seeks-swap-of-30-chibok-girls-for-18-chiefs/
The more reason why Nigeria military is using "measured offensive" is because of those girls, simply.
If they need their commanders, we need the 260 girls complete.
If they get there commanders, they will still rain more havoc, remember!!!

FG investigates discovery of crude oil in Ebonyi

By Felix Uka, Correspondent, Abakaliki

A Federal Government team from Ministry of Mines and Steel Development has visited Afikpo South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State to investigate discovery of crude oil in the area.

The preliminary report has already been taken to Abuja for confirmation of its findings.

State Commissioner for Cement Production and Mineral Development, Sunday Ugwuocha, who revealed this, noted that in a bid to shore up the internally generated revenue of the state, the state government, in conjunction with the Federal Government team, visited the potential crude oil site dug in 1928 for further investigation.

Ugwuocha, who stated this on Monday during an interactive session with stakeholders from Inyiba community in Ishielu Local Government Area of the state where the state is presently carrying out core drilling of limestone, said the preliminary result of the investigation has been submitted to the Federal Government.

According to the commissioner, “geologists from the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development were in the state recently to carry out preliminary investigations on the oil well that was dug in Edda community in 1928, the state government was still waiting for the outcome of the ministries’ investigations.

“The investigation if positive will place Ebonyi as one of the oil producing states in the country.

“This development has been there since 1928, Eddah people has been making presentation to the Federal Government to come and investigate the well dug but we are happy that today a team from the Federal Government has finally come and we believe that something meaningful will come out of there investigation”.

The commissioner, who warned the people of Inyiba not to allow themselves to be used by some selfish individuals in the area to forment trouble that will delay the core drilling process going on in the area, pointed out that compensation will soon be paid to deserving members of the community after evaluation process by the state Ministry of Land and survey.

“Government will not sit back and watch you being bought over to subvert government development activities.

“The state has commenced investigation and exploration to unravel the quantity of crude oil in Afikpo South and coal in Afikpo North”, he said.

Responding, a member of the community, Theophilus Nwanga, commended the transparency of the government in the industrialisation process, adding that the cement project will lead to creation of jobs for the teeming youths in the area and the state in general, even as he assured of the safety of the explorers and their equipments.

The events of 1967 clearly demonstrated that. Since then, the SS people have been VERY careful and fast in thinking. They have created rivalry for themselves with the North and Yorubas, any attempt to rope in the South South into their divisive plan shall be resisted by any means possible. I understand that some people in the core north may not understand the demography of the South and may confuse the opinion of ethnic bigots to that of the Niger Deltans. This medium is an opportunity to make the clarification instead of keeping quiet and watch some nincompoop create enemies for us on our behalf.

I will not reply you as regards to your comment "that Igbos created rivalry with Hausa and Yoruba".
Don't worry after Jonathan's tenure, Niger Delta will be faced with Hausa's horror.
He is been accused of killing there brothers, right? am laughing.
N O T E: Igbos don't have issues with Yoruba, they've never fought and will never... We are simply having what is called "healthy rivalry" which keeps every one of them working hard, thanks.
