Didnt you see where the culprits were brought to book and not shielded by one Igwe or Emir.



Continue to shoot yourself in the foot trying to defend that stoooopid Yunusa abd the lazy and senile emir

I bet you didn't see this:

Four suspects were said to have been remanded at the federal prison, Abakaliki; while the other two were granted bail at the behest of one Chief Ogbonnaya Okereke.

Rid yourself of hate. It's killing you slowly.

Common sense is dead in that North oh. So rape in south justifies abduction of minors from south.

Good evening.

Before leaving the office this evening, I decided to do a once over on the front page of the forum (as I mostly just keep refreshing the politics section for updates) and saw a news item that caught my interest: Newtelegraph reported a case of a girl that died of injuries she sustained after being gang raped by six boys.

From the report, there were two victims but so far, only one has died. I Hope and pray the other makes it to full recovery.

The unfortunate and barbaric incident took place in Onicha Igboeze in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi state, South East Nigeria

Four suspects were said to have been remanded at the federal prison, Abakaliki; while the other two were granted bail at the behest of one Chief Ogbonnaya Okereke.

For convenience purposes, let's call the victim Amaka. (apologies to all the Amakas in the house).

Digest the preamble above as I introduce miss Ese Oruru.

The person Ese Oruru actually needs no introduction on this forum, and perhaps, across Nigeria. Governors, traditional rulers, ministers, police chiefs, senators, civil rights activists, political party bigwigs, mainstream media, religious leaders, legal luminaries, Nobel prize winners, educational heavyweights, and the ordinary man on the street are all familiar with the name Ese Rita Oruru. She rivals the famous Olajumoke in (un)popularity and had what she was associated with a thing of pride, perhaps she would have been the brand ambassador of countless brands across the country today.

Hers was a story of an alleged 13 year old Bayelsan kidnapped and forcefully married and converted to Islam by one Yunusa Yellow, a NORTHERNER

The story of Ese Oruru took the media by storm and literally BROKE THE INTERNET!! The social media, from facebook to twitter, was on fire for days on end as Nigerians were held spellbound by the unbelievably barbaric act of Yunusa Yellow, Ese's alleged boyfriend.

Nairaland of course wasn't left out of the orgy!! Google the words "ese oruru nairaland" and you'd be awe struck at the sheer number of threads that were created on account of that incident! Of course that was expected as nothing gets the forum in a frenzy more than a story of an alleged abuse of a Southerner by a Northerner, or a Christian by a Muslim!

Threads about the incident hurriedly made the front page and run several pages before losing steam- all after commentators must have taken turns to abuse Muslims and Northerners generally. These group of people seem defenceless on the forum and perhaps social media generally since they are not as internet savvy and social media inclined as people from other parts of the country.

At the receiving end of the relentless attacks were:

1. Mr President; his crime being that he's also a Northerner and a Muslim.

2. Emir of Kano whose offence is same as that of Mr President.

Some stretched their hate to their elastic limits as the accuse the president of personally sanctioning the incident since he's a "paedophile" as he also married Aisha "at the age of 13!!"

The attacks went on for days unabated culminating in a threat by Senator Ben Bruce to sue the IGP to the ICC! Abati also arrived the scene to take his own pound of flesh!! Femi Fani Kayode of course also took his share as he could not be left out of the fist fest, moreso, it was right down his alley!!!

Now folks, fast forward a week after, news breaks of a SOUTHERN teenager raped to death by SOUTHERNERS and social media and Nairaland is as quiet as a King Tut's Tomb!!

Why is this so Nigerians??!!

1. Is Ese's life worth more than that of the girl that was brutally raped to death??

2. Are the dramatis personae involved in a crime of this nature supposed to determine the level of press/general coverage/attention it receives?? Would the offence have been more criminal had the rapists come from another region or belong to another religion??

3. Is this the first time a crime of this nature is happening in this part of the country?? Why are they usually undereported?? Whose purpose is the press serving??

4. Following from the logic of the Ese Oruru's commentators, would it be appropriate if one tagged Christians or South Easterners as child rapists and murderers owing to the crime of six folks out of millions??

5. Was the case for Ese borne out of altruism and sheer concern for her welfare or was it more about POLITICS??

6. Would things stand where they are as regards the Ebonyi incident had it been reported the name of one of the culprits is Adamu??

Mull over these while I take a sip of water... Brb.

Back..

Now, as much as we can, we always try to pass ourselves off as modern, civilised and intelligent folks with unrivalled knowledge about the essence of humanity, and more often than not, in the course of doing so, the underbelly of our disdain for civility is revealed; ironic one would say.

Here's what I'm talking about: what Yunusa did was unacceptable in all ramifications and ought to be condemned by any right thinking human- but in doing this, some people, a good number, revealed their potential to do a lot worse than Yunusa could ever dream of doing. They literally forgot about the culprit and aimed the barrel of their cannons right at the heart of Northerners and Muslims generally! Some said they should be nuked and completely vaporised off the surface of the earth, that it is the panacea to world peace- these astonishing propositions put forward by supposed Christians who should know better!

Ese lives, Amaka is dead, but Yunusa's crime seems to surpass that of the Ebonyi Six. How convenient!

This type of scenario has been playing out since God-knows-when.

Let me digress a little at this point to share another nauseating instance of this double standard/hypocrisy.

Few hours ago, someone created a thread regarding the Senators who killed the Women's Rights Bill in the Senate. I don't know how reliable the news is but the op mentioned some Senators that supported the bill and three who didn't. Out of the three, two were presumably Muslims (from their names) while one was a Christian who sited a verse in the Bible to justify his stance against the bill.

Predictably when some people arrived the scene to comment, they completely ignored the Christian Senator and the reason put forward by him for his position and attacked the "almajiri Senators", inundating the thread with just about enough insults to knock the lights out a heavyweight boxer.

They became selectively oblivious to events of the recent past involving the Enugu state house of assembly where a similar bill was killed just the same way leaving one to ask: how many Northern almajiri honourables are present in Enugu SHoA that they succeeded in killing such a wonderful bill??

Mull over that for a moment reader...

Now tell us fellas, why have we chosen to turn the Northerners/Muslims into our preferred bogeymen and e-punching bags?? Exactly what crime did the North commit?? Since when did we jettison our democratic level tolerance for ethnoreligious diversity??

Politics is a game, and as such, must always have winners and losers. A people have an inalienable prerogative to vote whoever they think could best advance their course and interests; the Northerners saw that man in Buhari and the South Easterners and South Southerners saw the person in Jonathan. Each people threw their weight behind their preferred candidate and fate smiled on the former- how difficult is that to accept

Many a great democracy were built on such incidences of shift of power from a political party with time as it addresses mediocrity and dictatorship. It is in the best interest of those who lost to go back to the drawing board and realign their strategy. Take your defeat in your stride, learn from your mistakes, and take another shot at your goal- what comes of it would be anybody's guess.

As it stands today, Ese and Amaka's cases would, for a long time to come, remain a dark reminder of our hypocrisy as a people. They would remind us of how morally depraved we've become all in the name of politics.

The Abatis, FFKs and Muray Bruces of this world would remain completely mute over this as talking about it and condemning the culprits and the region from whence they come wouldn't do their political base any good. They all thrive on the hatred and mundane prejudices they've sown in our hearts, through their utterances, which we sometimes express indeliberately- meaning they've become a part of our character!

We must strive to exorcise that spirit of hate and kill it, lest it kills us all.

Remember:

Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.- Charles de Secondat.


Good night.

Yet another milestone by the adopted son and role model of iPodians.

Why can't they simply send this man to the electric chair for pete's sake.

gare:
Source please

You'd wait till eternity. How difficult is it to spot a lie when you see one? At best, the source would be trentonline, hopefornigeria.com, breakingtimes.com or igberetv.com.

They will come here to display their bigotry as usual when their fathers and mothers shut down the same bill in their state house of assembly: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/how-enugu-assembly-rejected-equal-rights-opportunities-bill/

I'm sure Northern lawmakers in Enugu state HoA killed the bill.

The folks from that part of town show signs of acute mental handicap. Hate has made them gone completely mad.

The dead bodies they are gonna be swapping would include those of his children, extended family and hopefully, himself.

What an incorrigible idiot.

This is all these politicians know- push innocent people off the cliff while their children remain very safe in a far flung country or heavily guarded by adequately armed security operatives.

Wike is indeed an uncouth, bloodthirsty power drunk maniac. I hope his pot boils over soon.

Ahmed3rdjuly:
and they will say northerners are pedophiles

Why I always insist hatred and bigotry are the worst from of madness- they make you become totally oblivious of your faults while you emphasise on other people's.

Imagine what would have happened to this thread had this been said to have happened in the North or done to the girl by a Northerner. All hell would have broken lose on social media.

Now tell me, what difference does it make who the culprits were??

These guys are just so sick upstairs.

I hope they are all arrested and dealt with accordingly.

Rest in peace little girl.

Are those two holding his hands Abobakus??

modath:

… bars judges from granting stay of proceedings

This is the money shot!! If the judge isn't granting frivolous stay of proceedings, we will see how they will perpetuate their evil intentions...

Still don't trust this would bring the much sought after acceleration of the trial of such cases.

What if the defence attorneys decide to make a no-show. Would the trial proceed in their absence??

Just imagine what politics could turn a supposed human being with a heart and blood running through his veins into. Tufiakwa.

Op, you are a hazard to humanity frankly. No difference between your type and terrorists. All you need is an opportunity to bring out the beast in you.

They'd still find a way to circumvent this- no be lawyers?

SycophanticGoat:
Only cockroaches know how it feels so ask someone down your bloodline...

You must be a very shy Goat.. Just a simple enquiry and you thrashing and bleeting all over the place.

Which of the species are you? Those whose smell you could perceive from a mile away or the "gudali" type?

crownwealth:
This stupid government is so stupid to dig out past stupidity.

Your level of mumuness is legendary!! Na wa oo!! Someone, a nairaland member points in a direction that reveals what hypocritical idiots pdp supporters/ipod miscreants could be and you say accuse the government of doing so. Shooo!! Do you people earn something from being so silly??

Let us see how the iPod Tadpoles would spin this one.

SycophanticGoat:
Animals do have respect for goats but progressive cockroaches don't.. Where do you belong brother?

I don't know about roaches, perhaps you may ask someone down your bloodline.

I aint the one calling you a Goat dude, you say you are a Goat, a sycophantic one for that matter.

How does it feel being a Goat bro?

SycophanticGoat:
Jobless YPOR/ipork youth, why are you attacking baba na? I thought he's a god that does no wrong...?

Only iPod illiterate Miscreants don't understand the difference between a reservation and an attack. Also, only them take men for gods. Only them could be Sycophantic Goats.

I'd prefer we started looking beyond oil. Why can't we try to develop the solid minerals sector?? Oil has proven to be one hell of an unreliable forex earner.

Come on Baba.

HungerBAD:
Olaoluwa Okelola is a Software Engineer with Facebook?

Proud of you Son.

"Today" i am proudly Yoruba.

Meanwhile na Yoruba man dey control Software?no wonder na only PARTY/GROOVE APPs Facebook get this days as "OWAMBE SOFTWARE "created by Olaoluwa Okelola is taking over.

Lmao!!

Almighty Tomtom has become a cry baby.

What a big shame.

Come out of hiding and face the EFCC mr. You can't hibernate forever.

Anyone not happy about the apology should take their grievance to the Supreme court.

Yeye people.

The look on Baba's face though:

Baba be like: this wedding gown looks corrupt. It has to be probed.

Why is Saraki always making eyes like a criminal?? Always appearing so dishonest.

Is this dude normal at all Warrisdis??

iPork Miscreants defending criminality as usual.

The question any one with as much intelligence as a dead mouse should ask is- when did the Central Bank of Nigeria become Goodluck Jonathan's Bank or Bank of People's "Democracy" Party?? Or did the said companies and individuals carry out any jobs for the CBN??

Arise o' compatriots, arise!!!

I just love to see these women together- seems they've developed a very strong bond. Always going places and doing things together. This would definitely impact the relationship of their husbands positively.

Their simplicity is another thing I admire alot- a great departure from the immediate past where one obese Sheppo dresses like an egungun masquerade everywhere she went and you never see her and her Vp counterpart together.

Where is Deji? We'd like to know the worth of Aisha's ear ring. Perhaps it would cost more than Baba's shoe.

These guys always complain about Yorubas being all up in their affairs on the forum. As a newbie, one might be misled to think their complaint has some sort of merit. But look at them all over the place on a thread that has nothing whatsoever to do with them, and it is always the case whenever Lagos or anywhere else in the SW makes news. Smh.

Bloody hypocrites.

mightyhazel:
[s] ur freakin out because of a small apology,...









Comin weeks after gruesomely murderin innocent schoolkids and babies,....and not because dey r really sorry.but just so u don't relocate ur own markets in a fit of tantrum. Smh,...


Smdh![/s]

Why does it hurt you so much they apologised. Would you have preferred the murderous rampage continued?? What would you stand to gain from that??

I remember a certain Eze Ndi something had his asss whooped not too long ago, yet he still went to lay his belly flat in front of his asss whooper, pledging never to offend him ever again.

Peace is all that matters mr. Bragging and grandstanding has never earned you lot anything.

mightyhazel:
refrain from being clever by a fraction mister. Have u referred to the person I quoted? Hausa king apologises for their mayhem in the southwest,next tin,yoruba peeps start bleating abt ppl dat will sleep and dose dat will hav heart attack. Does. Dat make any sense 2 u? But all ur hypocritical eyes cud seive out was my reply. Kontinuu!

Is your name "some people"?? Why do you feel they were referring to you?? Or did you "lose sleep" or have a "heart attack" as they said??

Tell us what we don't know sir.

odeotito:
Words fail one to describe the murderous fury these folks exhibit the moment they get taken by it! Most unfair. If you've been in a place for 100 years and you still can't blend with your hosts and resolve differences in a civilized manner they are used to but relish drawing the dagger then its time to have you in the jungle that fits you and your ilk. Folks who fit in to the civilized environment will come buy from you in that jungle where you can jab at animals with your dagger companion! Ilorin and Ese Oruru stands as a testimony of your tendency to be treacherous and lecherous! #nototreacherousguests

I don't understand why you people always wanna paint an entire people the same colour one or two of their brothers paint themselves.

Say 100, out of tens of millions, commit an offence and the next thing you guys say is "Northerners are xyz".

I guess it would be appropriate then to say South Easterners are all armed robbers, all their men are drug pushers and all their mothers and daughters are sexual slaves and babies manufacturing robots.

This thing is becoming too irritating jor.

Looking for an ugly Nigerian, look for this man. Nigger sure gives a new meaning to that word- ugly both in appearance and character.

An opportunistic demagog that rode roughshod on Nigeria under the regime of the Ineffectual Drunkard, a criminal per excellence.

Tufia.

I wonder where Asari and his loud mouthed wife are. Why the sudden silence from them?? I guess with Tompolo driven into a hole they get the message the government wouldn't tolerate his kind.

Thank God for Buhari.
