I wonder why he did not call for this when he was 'pushing' sointin.
This wor wor 'PAPA AWO' reincarnation nor go go sleep!
Ewu Asiwaju!
See this moda foka that should be in jail. . . !

He already owns Lagos, why won't he clamor for a SW split if he gets to own Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti states? Kwara nko? Stupid thief, thief, drug baron! Oloshi master.

Comic relief!

Hahahaha!!!! Thief wan chop! Nonsense! This man has really become full of himself. Who is he to be clamoring for a National Conference? The uneducated drug baron? Nigeria don finish! Kaput!

Guess the next bail out is right around the corner.

Do you really know the meaning of circumstantial evidence? Do you just say things for the sake of it?

He pleaded guilty to felony charges of theft and computer fraud related to his online sale of a gun he did not have, though he collected money from the would-be buyer, is that circumstantial?

The US security agencies focuses on pro-active measures and not re-active, they prevent a potential crime and not running around like headless chicken after the damage has been done like what we are seeing in Nigeria now.

Your race card argument is just nonsense, it doesn't wash any more.

Do you live in the US? Do you know that the US police is not allowed to "proactively" or "preemptively" arrest anyone without reasonable cause? And that the standards are even stricter, generally, for criminal convictions? Do you realize that in the US, once you have a criminal record, your life is pretty much over and you can't find a decent job anywhere? You don't sound like you really know what you're talking about. I officially give up.

Eh ehn, is that so.
I was a fan when we were killing everybody back then, as y'all know, I love nothing more than winning. Now we just suck, hence the "I'm not a gators fan". I'm forcefully a Gator tho.

Since you know I'm a gator, I find that a bit unfair. Make it fair by telling me your own mascot.

Nawa o. Truthfully, I havent even tried it yet. Just an innocent passerby.

I attended one of the biggest geek non-technology schools in the country. I don't think I ever attended a single game (of anything) while I was there and I think I saw our mascot just once when it ran across the Quad. LOL

Perhaps at one time it was "rarely" but not these days. There are things you simple mustn't write (or speak). What was written on the paper falls under "Terrorist Threat". Here's an excerpt of what constitutes a TT:
What Exactly Does "Making a Terrorist Threat" Mean?
The crime of "making a terrorist threat" is a recent creation enacted at both the state and federal levels after the terrorist attacks of 9/11.  It is a very general law that can be used to prosecute terrorists, but has been used far more often to prosecute situations involving domestic violence, hate crimes, bomb threats, and school violence.  Indeed, in many states, the term "terrorist" has been amended to mean simply "criminal."  Although the exact definition varies from state to state, generally one makes a terrorist threat if one threatens to commit a violent crime for the purpose of terrorizing another or of causing public panic.  Some states laws are very narrow, meaning the threat must be very specific and direct, while other states adapt a looser approach, allowing even negligently made threats to be prosecutable.  http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/making-a-terrorist-threat.html

It’s true you can write any crazy thoughts to the ghosts in your head, but only after you’ve been legally declared mentally ill! It’s not uncommon for people who’ve gotten into trouble to use that defense. But the person is put through a barrage of psychiatric testing, hoping they don’t pass! It may not lessen the sentence but instead of prison the person will be sent to a hospital to serve their time.

Wow! George Bush has cost the US much more than I had previously thought! I doubt this guy will pass a single psychiatric test though! He probably would have plead insanity if he had better representation. Fact of the matter is, he didn't threaten anybody. He just wrote nonsense in a book.

Boko Haram's Godfather has come to claim his own.

Trouble? I haven't seen her yet. ,

*Goes back to Netflix.*

Ileke-IdI:
Hehehe, first of all, who are you? My location? Now I'm scared.
To answer your question, I'm not a gators fan, I'm a Gator.  

Yea, we're stubborn lol, I just wanted to get at you there.  

Oh, I don't know you personally oh! I just noticed you were a bit crazy about the Gators a while back. My ex is a Gator too! She and her fellow Gators are just nuts! I avoid congregations of them like a plague, especially during the football season.

Ileke-IdI:
Look, the problem I have here with you is that you base your posts on stereotypes that you and your clansmen have been entertaining for a while.
What makes you think I'm stubborn, is it because I'm Ekiti?

I dont even know you neither have I even bothered to entertain your post, yet you've categorized me under a class.

Or is this just an opportunity to "fight", I mean, debate with Ileke-IdI? Just wondering since ileke-idi never made a post to suggest that she is in support of or against any opinion on this thread.

Dont let your excitement get the best of you.

Sorry jare, I just looking for trouble out of boredom. And this stoopid Ekt_beer person just annoyed me. Oh, I know the Ekiti clan very well! I spent summer vacations with an entire army of Ekiti indigenes in Baltimore (my stupid Aunt married an Ekiti man). Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn breed of human beings!!!

Ileke, are you still in Gainesville? The last time I noticed you on here, you were a raging Gators fan.

Oh, I love these indirect messages! I could care less second-hand trains that nobody has seen, all I know is that Fashola is a crook and the foolish diasporans that support him because he has planted beautiful flowers to disguise decaying infrastructure and has taxed working Lagosians to contract-out projects at grossly-inflated costs to his political godfather(s) should be called out on their foolishness.

Ekt_bear has been peddling foolishness in the guise of enlightenment on here for a long time, I just decided to pay him a little attention today. The fat, ugly pot-bellied fool must stop yarning dust! Ileke_Idi, I dare your stubborn Ekiti self to support your clansman and I will call you out too. I feel like giving Xmas gifts tonight on Nairaland (yes, it's still Xmas where I am).

Squeegeez:
Actually you have a point; I looked up more info on the case. Perhaps there is more to the case than was released to the public? Whether there was "much of a case" is now irrelevant because he pleaded guilty. The End. The problem was putting something like that in writing. Anything in writing is considered evidence. The youth don't seem to understand e.g. Facebook & Twitter that it's NEVER a good idea to put something in writing that has the potential to incriminate you. Perhaps if he'd had a better lawyer, like Johnny Cochran, he would be a free man.

But that's the issue,  putting anything in writing rarely constitutes a crime in the US. What typically happens in situations that involve poor blacks or foreigners in the US is that they give up their constitutional rights to a fair trial because of inept representation and end up pleading guilty to crimes that don't even exist. America is the land of freedom of expression! You can write whatever you like to the many ghosts and spirits in your head and it would not constitute a crime in most cases. He was just a victim of poverty and mental instability. The poor thing!

^^^^^ See me, see trouble?!!! Who is giving this Fool advice? As if you're worth advising, abeg commot jor! These useless naija men in the diaspora and their over-inflated egos! Almost all of them are security guards and taxi cab drivers; they are only kings and princes here on Nairaland. Again, abeg commot for road! Advice ko, quarters ni!

ekt_bear:
I've come to the conclusion that arguing about this is a waste of time.

The same people here b1tching are the ones will then ride on the train, using it for 80% of their future commutes. They'll also b1tch about the price of fare, but simultaneously want new trains to have been purchased.

So long as the transportation needs of the silent majority of Lagosians are met, I'm not sure how relevant the inane complaints of a few residents of the internet are.

Says the man that lives in the hippie-land of California. Abeg sharrap jor!

engineerd:
And what does PhD have to do with the ability to be an effective leader? Anyways, i am not interested in criticizing or bashing the "honorable" president, he has simply failed in every aspect. Now it is clear that Democracy does not work in a crude and backward society like Nigeria. Under Military rule, Nigeria was way better, secure and i'm tempted to say more economically viable (I stand corrected), than what 10+ years of democracy has brought to us. I am simply ashamed to be a Nigerian and i gnash my teeth in pain.

What part of sarcasm don't you understand?

GboyegaD:
The guy is just a total dumb. He truly has got nothing in his head. If only Nigerian is a sane society, the guy should have resigned a long while ago.

Stop making baseless accusations! Our honorable president has Phd degrees from world renowned universities and his wife is herself a Ph.D candidate in the Dept. of English at UniAbuja!!!!

soloqy:
And who the hell is Eko Rail Oh gullible one?

Eko Rail is a Swiss special purpose vehicle tasked with managing Tinubu's personal wealth and investments. It's sister company is the LCC.

ak47mann:
didn't u no b4?he had sold eko ile and his likes for peanuts  

Using their tax money to buy mansions in Dubai! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Lagosians like to feel special and superior but they are stupider than the rest of the country!

LOL! I can't believe people are still falling for this sham pastor! I am not surprised though. This is how TB Joshua started.

Fashola is a certified fraud. The biggest thief Lagos state has ever seen!

omo_to_dun:
So, midgets do not deserve spouses? And who says a tall guy will necessarily beat his spouse to death? Where do [i]i[/i]diots like you spring forth from?

And from where did you draw these conclusions? This is why impoverished minds and bodies shouldn't be allowed access to the internet. Drawing random conclusions and going off with misdirected insults.

Relax101:
lol for where u see that pics?

A Merry Xmas to you too!!!

Squeegeez:
Nope, even if he was white it would have gone down the same way. Terrorist threats are taken seriously, so that old excuse of being black doesn't carry much weight in this case. If it were me I would have blamed it on mental illness.

What threat? To who? Threat to the ghosts hiding inside his head? Or to the ninjas that go around reading notes hiding in abandoned cars? Who exactly was he threatening? Did he present the note to anybody? Until we can answer these fundamental questions, I don't think there is much of a case here.

Merry Xmas!!!!

Wow! This guy is just full of tragic surprises. Would he be saying this if they had bombed his family on Xmas day? The world and its wickedness oh,

At the end of the day, evolution does a pretty good job of weeding out the idiots. A girl that's foolish enough to marry a guy only because of his height deserves whatever she gets. Most girls are smarter than that. Height is probably #3 or #4 on the list (as long as he isn't a midget). Who wants to marry a tall monster that'll beat her to death? LOL

justwise:
Did you also read this?: . . .

Oduwole was attending the Illinois school's 13,000-student Edwardsville campus, northeast of St. Louis, when campus police found a piece of paper in his abandoned car, which they had impounded and was out of gas. The writing demanded payment to a PayPal account, threatening "if this account doesn't reach $50,000 in the next 7 days then a murderous rampage similar to the VT shooting will occur at another highly populated university. THIS IS NOT A JOKE!". . . .

And


Oduwole pleaded guilty to felony charges of theft and computer fraud related to his online sale of a gun he did not have, though he collected money from the would-be buyer. Oduwole was sentenced to 2 1/2 years of probation on those charges, which will be served with the prison time.

You're still missing the point. All of these are just circumstantial evidence and have nothing to do with the charge of making terrorist threats. Who exactly did he present the threat to? Who came forward to complain? This is just a racist witch hunt. The case will go nowhere on appeal.

@Moremi2000
While l will crave leniency for ANY YOUNG PERSON since they are prone to rash behavior, like the judge, l still find it INEXCUSABLE that "many facts" worked against this guy!!

How do you explain an under-Gee having a gun in the hostel? A loaded Gun for that matter! Who does he want to kill or does he need to load the gun, to complete his "Rap lyrics"?

Again, to have ordered for four (4) high calibre weapons, including a Sub-Machine! Jeezuz Christ, how do you explain that?
Give me a good explanation for that one, please! Is tht one also part of his "Rap lyrics"?

Lets assume he got the guns, what he gonna do with them? A student o!

Now, not to talk about the "innocent" scribble found in his car! he even drew attention to a "live event" like the Virginia tech!

And there was MOTIVE in that scribble: Blackmail for money!

Honestly, if l were the judge, l will struggle a lot to set this guy FREE!
And God forbid l do and he ends-up like Abdul Mutallab or the V.tech guy, how will l feel?

He played with fire, he got burnt! Chikenna

BTW: A lot of Novelist dont write about criminality and then go one to "actualize it" or take "active steps" in the pursuit of it. if they did, it would cross from the realms of Fiction, to that of reality!. Jefrey Archer once did so, and he paid dearly for it!.

I am not sure you're familiar with America's gun laws. Yes, he has a right to own a loaded gun as long as he has a gun license. Americans can't eat their cake and have it too. You can't allow guns and then use gun possession in the privacy of one's home as evidence of a public threat. There was actually nothing "actualized" in this situation. He didn't threaten anybody. He's just a crazy, confused kid that wants to be a thug rapper. Too bad he chose the wrong skin color to play in.

Orikinla:
Thank God your friend is not a short poor man and that his stunning beauty of a wife would have been married to another man. The woman did not marry him, she married his high class status.

That is my point. Men come in packages. Some guys are short and rich. Others are short and extremely good in bed. Others, still, are short with great character traits. Height alone is rarely the sole determining factor.

End of Story. Where are all those idiots and their mumu theories now?

This case is a clear miscarriage of justice and the Judge is a fool that will be mocked mercilessly when this goes to trial. The note found in his car is a useless piece of paper until he presents it to somebody or to an institution with the intent of threatening. Someone can't be accused of making threats just because he wrote something on a piece of paper. If that's the case, then a lot of novelists and writers would be in jail!!!! His other crimes are separate and should be considered in isolation. They can only do this to a black man with a foreign sounding name. I am 100% sure if this dude was white, he would have gotten away with probation and probably put on a watch list. America is a country founded on racist people and institutions. This court-ruling is just another piece of evidence demonstrating America's racist DNA.
