YesBosss: Okija Juju, That road is a federal road, but its better the Ogun and Lagos state government should join hands together to repair that road, no time

Bros.. Please who is Okija Juju..

D sage: Like someone say,you really lack common sense. Are you so blind to see that the road belong to FG?

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Common Sense.. Its a Federal Government road, so lets leave it to continue reducing the population of Nigerians. Mr. Common Sense, If Lagos State government emulates the likes of Amaechi & Apkabio who build F.G roads in their state and collect the refunds from the government, Eko will Baje. Mr. Common Sense, Lets wait for eternity for the Federal Government in Abuja that has over 5000 roads Nationwide to think about to come fix this road for us, while more people die on that road by drowning. ARGH!! Mr Common Sense, now I get it.. If the road remains like this, its a win win for Lagosians, Every death = Aso-Ebi and Owambe, Every spoilt car = employmemnt for mechanics, Every stuck car = Money for touts, every dead person = one less mouth for LASG to worry about..

I love your common Sense mr. common Sense.

asha 80: all the adjoining federal roads leading to enugu have to be in good condition...the enugu onitsha,enugu ph,enugu abakiliki and the ones leading to benue and kogi for this airport to function effectively.

GEJ has fixed most of those roads and the remainingg are under construction..

<sub>By this move, ENUGU, ANAMBRA, ABIA & EBONYI STATES HAVE ALL GONE TO PDP IN THE 2015 ELECTIONS..


IMO STATE ARE LIKE TRAITORS! WE ARE WATCHING THEM, OKOROCHA & their new found bedmates Ndi na ku isi na a'na.</sub>

p'scott:
How do you feel when a lecturer points at you and ask you a question in a lecture class and it look's as if you don't have any idea about the answer?

deletrue: Many thanks. It give me great joy reading through this highly powerful and advanced thread. True, am proud because of your type. On the second hand, I don't know whether you have gone through the one written by one Mr. Aboki? If you have, would you be happy to be associated with that class of Nigerians? Isn't it stupid in nature?

It is indeed disturbing that your supposed understanding of the legal system is based on shrewd personal perception and sets of assumptions formed on a very wrong premise.

One of the principles of the rule of law states that "The process by which laws are enacted, administered and enforced is accessible, fair and efficient". You referenced George Zimmerman's case in your earlier post. Now, Zimmerman was set free even when it was established that he "followed" Treyvon, and in the ensuing confrontation which he obviously caused, shot an unarmed Treyvon. Zimmerman was discharged not because he wasn't guilty of killing Treyvon, but because of the controversial stand-your-ground law, which his defense was based. Even the US attorney general Eric Holder and other high ranking lawyers didn't agree with the law neither with the verdict.

Since you claim to be a sound Nairaland lawyer, you should know that laws must pass a general test of validity: not repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience or incompatible either directly or by implication with any law for the time being in force, and also must not do injustice. The stand your ground law didn't do the course of justice, neither it circumvented it..

I am not advocating for an accused person to lose fundamental rights, but that the course of "justice" should be upheld in the dispensation of law and not just for laws to be literally interpreted and arbitrarily executed by the court.

No set of laws in the world is perfect, and when i say that our criminal justice system is flawed, it doesn't mean that the court didn't act within the prevailing laws, but that our laws are deficient and thereby wouldn't serve the cause of justice at all times. Kapish?

THE LAW IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN INSTRUMENT TO SERVE JUSTICE, and when justice is not served in law, then the purpose would be considered defeated.

3: mit·i·ga·tion
/ˌmitəˈgāSHən/
Noun
The action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something.
Synonyms
alleviation - relief - palliation - extenuation

The law was used to reduce the severity of Mr. Lloyd's murderous actions.

On the other hand....

By collateral attack, I mean challenging the validity (not legality) of the relevant laws or decisions by which Chidi Lloyd's trial is based.

4: I guess you have the right to interpret it anyhow you like: 'Like every other" does not intend to make him a criminal, neither it was used to highlight similar behavior shared exhibited by people whom have been legitimately accused of wrongdoing and incarcerated.

MoodSwing: As long as the case against Chidi Lloyd is yet to be decided, it is still subject to mitigation or collateral attack

Mynd_44: How you take know?

moodswing: My friend the law can be interpreted in so many ways, don't bring this lame sets of assumptions based on your literal understanding of the law and not what should be obtainable in a just legal system.

Even when we "suppose" the law is absolute, it doesn't necessarily mean that it serves the course of "natural justice" and good conscience.

As long as the case against Chidi Lloyd is yet to be decided, it is still subject to mitigation or collateral attack.

he can sue me for whatever will make him sleep, but be aware that I never referred to him as criminal. I only implied that his actions showed great deal of murderous tendencies.

And please don't threaten my freedom of speech.

moodswing: Instead he became emboldened ]like every other criminal whom have undergone some kind of incarceration.

God forbid.........


How I wish it was your head and face that was mazed...........


Heroes treatment my foot.....


Na person like you wey go go vote animal like chidi lloyd as president in the future........

Toppiano: I guess he must be mad. Otherwise I find it difficult to comprehend how this kind of man will have guts to utter such scrap and even get some morally bankrupt lawyers as if breaking someone's head with mace is legal

BTW

The present pathetic state of the country is caused and supported by some professionals especially lawyers and policemen e.g.
I can't imagine some right thinking lawyers will defend this idiot; only for them to say things are not working well. How can?
Police pension scam, some policemen are still protecting this fella as if their money is not part of the pension (fund) scammed

I cant believe that you think you have sense..

degurl: Thanks dasparrow. I will be coming from Karu. So should I drop at Area 11 junction and take a cab to the street?

Watermelon: animal tender

Phonon: Moderators, do something about this.

kennygee: If you chek well, she wasn't brot up in this corrupt and perversive country of ours. Kudos to her parents,they brought up a fine woman.
