Ilamina:
What should I do

I am getting scared
.
I wanna move out

All because I was saying hello to my friend from the balcony

While there were at the their own balcony

I just checked OP's previous posts and she's a troll. Ignore!

Doradorwa:
I am not a lawyer but I have my own fair share of knowing what interpretation of law entails.... Call me a sophist or whatever. Nobody is saying there will be an abracadabra on this case but saying that lady is be hanged or get a hard sentence is simply out of it. And the bench interpret the law base on the best narrative the suits the case. If the lady plead the case as a self defense, it's her word against the dead man and it's left for her lawyer to continue pulling the self defense string.

If you can't take my word for it, then you should Google it. The facts of the case are against her. The bench does not interpret the law based on the “best narrative that suits the case” . They are rules for interpretation including the golden rule and the literal rule. It definitely isn't “her word against the dead man”, self defence doesn't work that way. This is a bad case. Her subsequent actions implicate her further and are strong grounds for having the required mens rea for murder. If her sentence is reduced to manslaughter, she would be really lucky.

"Self defence " and she went to his account to withdraw money, "self defence " and she didn't report to the police after "being attacked "?

"Drug induced ", but she remembered to search for his ATM card and head to the bank to rob him?


I hope you're not a lawyer cos your clients will rot in jail.


That biitch is gone cos she will get the death sentence cos all evidences and her confessions points to premeditated murder.

its not that serious, she's looking at it from the perspective of a layman.

Doradorwa:
Sincerely I really don't know what her case will be but trust lagos lawyers. They will push her case with a plead for the said immunity. I believe the law is not about just having knowledge of it but wisdom to understand to interpretation and it's advantage to you.

After all the law said we must not kill but it's still the same law that says we can kill to protect ourself. . I hope you get what I'm trying to say sir... I'm a person of little words.

Not a sir. Lagos lawyers will not push for a plea of “immunity” because such immunity does not exist under law! Lawyers don't go into the court and make magic, they are rules to be followed. The law isn't as straight forward as you think, it's much more nuanced. A plea of self defence won't be approved simply because she said so. After she incapacitated him, why didn't she stop there (proportionality) . Law is not about wisdom to interprete, the bench interpretes the law not the bar. They can suggest their interpretation but it is left for the court to interprete it

Bodyodour:
lawyer?

Likely not.

NwaAmaikpe:




Unilag must be commended for refusing to be politically correct because Chidinma is innocent until proven guilty.

She's the victim here.
A naive young girl, tricked, bullied, drugged and sexually exploited by a man old enough to be her father.

Considering she was under the influence of drugs when the murder took place, it becomes a case of involuntary manslaughter bordering on self-defense amidst a moment of temporary insanity.

Involuntary manslaughter is definitely not what you think it is. It applies to acts of gross negligence like motor accidents. Sentiments like a “naive young girl” won't work in court. Being high DOES NOT equate temporary insanity. Please, for all young people out there, the fact that you were high on drugs does not exclude you from liability for your actions . A plea of Insanity does not help your case i,n fact it can make things a whole lot worse.

Doradorwa:
Using the fact that she was also acting on drugs will reduce her sentence. Her lawyer might plead for a lunatic immunity.

Such a waste

Self defence might reduce her sentence but acting on drugs will not. By “lunatic immunity”, do you mean she will not get the death sentence because that's the only good thing about the defence of insanity . In fact a plea of insanity will have her put away in an asylum indefinitely. She can't rely on that too because being high on drugs doesn't equate to insanity. There is a high probability that she might be sentenced for manslaughter not murder

Jake420:
I know the first human life seen outside of Africa was in Georgia, Europe. By the way do you a Nigerian consider yourself black or African? Just a question been on my mind on whether people of African heritage without any white population should accept the term black if was used by a foreigner

I consider myself as both. On international social media platforms, I see myself as black and I will follow pages or accounts focused on black skin or black hair. Though it's just a skin colour to me, the term African describes me better. Especially, since black often means African American and is sometimes not inclusive of Africans. I believe Africans can't reject the term black anymore, that ship has sailed. Africa is synonymous to black now. A foreigner calling me black here in Nigeria will sound weird, but being African and black has become so intertwined, that Africans of middle Eastern decent are not really seen as Africans (case study Moroccans and Algerians). People can hardly have a conversation about black history without bringing up Africa.
This is why I'm so bothered about Afrocentrism . As an African and Nigerian, I'm very content with my heritage. I may be wrong but the movement seems to me, like people rejecting African heritage to focus on other continents because they feel African heritage isn't good enough.
Back to your question, even though I consider myself as both, being “black” isn't a huge part of my identity, Being African on the other hand is . This is a tricky question honestly. I've seen people on social media posit that Africans shouldn't be called black. I think that's odd, we are black, our blackness is just devoid of some of the problematic connotations that come with bearing the tag. E.g Racism

BKayy:
They should arrest the lady that owns that car for set up and induced robbery.
Dont get me wrong,
1) Why would she hand over her car keys to a hungry looking man like that?
2) Why did she keep such amount in a car that she wants to hand over to a valet knowing fully well that the man is hungry?
3) If she didn't intend to set him up, why did she search for the money immediately after the ordeal and even recorded everything immediately when she is supposed to be shocked?
4) Finally, why is she moving around with such amount in cash when there is POS and private ATM machines in most Hotels?

Like I said, the woman should be arrested for set up and induced robbery

Induced robbery? There is no such offence, the police cannot arrest a person on a made up offence. Besides, robbery is stealing with violence. Keyword here is violence! If tried in court, the theif should be charged for stealing not robbery. How do you set someone up?

I'm not asking this question in bad faith. I'm genuinely curious as to what Afrocentrism entails. What got me curious, was the claim that Black people are part of the indigenous population of every continet in the world. Is there some truth to this? I have heard critics debunk the the whole movement and give evidence that the pictures used to support Afrocentrism are photoshopped. I even saw a post on quora who called the movement a gross rewriting of history. Is Afrocentrism just another black supremacist agenda?

I personally think the whole focus on black people being indigenous to white countries, instead of appreciating Ancient black civilizations of Africa a bit sus. Nonetheles, If you're a Afrocentrist, I'll honestly like to know your thoughts on Afrocentrism.

Really? A country with no internet has the highest presence on SM. LMAO

Nigeria has the highest number of social media users in Africa. Besides, what are you using since we have “No internet”?

Jaqenhghar:
She told you so abi

She doesn't “need” to tell me. She's not speaking pidgin and talking about Nigeria because she loves the country. Nigeria has the highest presence on social media, so break into Nigeria break into Africa.

This Enisa lady has been famzing Nigerians for months now. She's really eager to break into the African market.
