Vote for change and all these will be over.

NO Pastor, Imam, Babalawo, Oba, Obi, Emir, Obong, Chief, Militant etc can tell me who to vote for, NEVER!....

I bear the brunt of unemployment, not the Pastor....

I suffer epileptic power supply, not the Imams.....

When my landlord increases house rent, the Oba will not send me money to augment it.....
When medical bills needs to be paid, I won't see the Obi....

When armed robbers show up in my neighborhood, the Emir won't be there to rescue me...

When time comes to pay exorbitant private school fees for my children because public schools that produced the likes of Soyinka, Chinua Achebe are derelict, no Militant will come to my rescue...

The roads leading to Obong's palace are bad, he has not done anything about it, how can he help me?

Exchange rate has plumeted while the economy worsened yet the Babalawo suffers in silence with me ad he is unable to use his juju to make our economic problems disappear...

My siblings and the children of the Chief who are graduates for the past 8 years have remained unemployed while he is powerless to help them...

So I alone will decide WHO IS MAKING ME GO THROUGH ALL
THESE HARDSHIP, AND USING MY PVC TO TERMINATE HIS TENURE, IF I DON'T LIKE HIS POOR HANDLING OF GOVERNANCE!

u don dey make noise since morning....

I am a GMB supporter..but

nobody i mean nobody except GOD can eradicate stealing or arm robbery from the face of the earth...

so calm down... the best you can do is control it to a minimum... so stop making yourself look foo.li.sh..

but at the end of the day SAI BUHARI

it's not just stealing 10k that lead to his sentence. let's face the facts, he's an armed robber who is ready to kill at any given time and this is not his first time of doing it. letting him live is a danger to the lives of others.

Wait o! We are talking about ARMED ROBBERY not mere STEALING. Before you hurl insults at the judge, you should ask yourself what the law provides as punishment for armed robbery. It is death by hanging!!. Section 406 of Criminal Code.. For the fact that the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, he is guilty of the offence of armed robbery and the judge MUST sentence him to DEATH BY HANGING. That is the only PUNISHMENT provided by the law for the offence of armed robbery.

FOR allegedly robbing his victims of a mobile telephone and N10, 000 cash while armed with a gun, a 24-year-old man was on Monday sentenced to death by hanging by a Delta High Court at Akwukwu-Igbo, Oshimili North Local Council.

The convict, Vincent Okwekwu, was convicted of the offence of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, the substantive offence of armed robbery, which was reduced to a lesser offence of robbery.

The young accused who looked dejected after the judgment was, however, sentenced to death by hanging for the offence of conspiracy while he got 21 years jail term for each of the other two counts.

During the trial, prosecution from the Department of Public Prosecutions had explained that the unemployed robber had on or about November 1, 2009 with two others now at large broke into the flats of one Ofoyeju Peter and Tietie Moses at Umueha quarters, Ibusa, also in Oshimili North Local Council and robbed them of cash amounting to N10, 000 and a telephone handset while armed with a gun and a cutlass.

Nemesis caught up with them when his victims raised the alarm that attracted members of the vigilance group in the area that led to the arrest convict, as he and the other gang members tried to flee from the scene of the crime.

While Vincent was arrested, two other members of the gang, now at large, escaped into a nearby bush. Prosecution further told the Court that the accused, who was later handed over to the Police, admitted to have committed the crime in his voluntary statement but denied the charge as he pleaded not guilty to all the three count charge.

Like seriously ....not that l condone what he did, because of 10,000 naira, u sentence him to death, then all our politicians from 1979 till date that stole & rob the nation of trillions of Naira via pen, failed contract, stealing money meant for developmental projects, should all be arrested and thrown into bar beach to be eaten by sharks and crocodiles.... angry angry

There is a LAW. I wish you people will learn to stop airing this inane opinion everytime news like this comes up. The penalty for armed robbers is Death, according to the laws of the land. Simple as that. If you want to steal, don't carry a weapon.

Hey friends, pls let's not miss the point here. The law sentenced d alledged guilty ones to death by hanging. Armed robbery is d case here and not just stealing 10k. We all know such judgement is not biased at least. Our politicians steal from us and even rob us no dougbt but taking up arms unlawfully and forcefully taking something from a fellow citizen is a punishable offence which we all know. Armed robbery have led to deaths (sometimes unplanned) and emotional trauma for those who survived. Pls let face d real issue which is armed robbery.

oh my friend... i have them in high level..

come to think of it...should we let a common thief go free because the elites are not being brought to justice?

i am not saying it is fair...because as we all know..the system is broken..

i am sure that's why we both want GMB on the sit..so that both a common thief and an elite thief will be brought to justice..

A thief is a thief...

The 10,000 is not the issue,but being armed with a gun and cutlass;he could have killed or maimed his victims. The people who are stealing billions of naira are the ones who deserve death by hanging and Not 25,000 bail at the end of after being convicted,what nonsense!

Sentencing someone to death for conspiracy to commit armed robbery? Wat kind of messed up judicial system is this sef? This is just a simple case of burglary and armed robbery which should attract nothing less than 20 years

Bros, most Nigerian youths are lynchers or potential lynchers! A capital punishment for stealing seems okay to some of them...na wa oh! See comments from our future leaders.... What a messed up Country!
