The earlier we realise that Buhari and his Fulani cohorts are on a mission to destroy Nigeria, the better. Igboho's angst started with the Fulani killings in Igangan.

Self actualisation and determination is not a crime in Nigeria. I haven't seen where Igboho called for arms, asked his followers to attack security officials OR kill Fulanis. He only asked them to leave since they can't coexist peacefully but seeing that a COAS failure as Buratai could write two letters to the Beninoise government, describing a man who has had enough with killing of his own people in their land as a 'terrorist' and a 'murderer' says a lot about this unfortunate Fulani government.

Nigeria isn't working. The earlier the country disintegrate peacefully, the better it is for all of us. It is only a name and the North enjoys the name more than the South. Gumi walks free but Igboho who prevented further casualty in Oyo State is a killer and a murderer.

Anyways, before people get too excited, the The Beninoise government didn't say it won't extradite Sunday to Nigeria but said it won't without first trying him for entering the country with a fake passport.

Buhari sucks at conflict resolution and he is either not getting good counsel or he stubbornly refuses to accept and implement such.

His handling of agitators of the different ethnic group is devoid of the sagacity required of a statesman.

Ozoben:
Why is the almighty Sunday Igbohu running? I thought he said,Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a coward by staying is London, and giving orders and instructions to Ipob in Nigeria suggesting that he comes back to his country and fight the fight from a near point and not from a far away land.May God help us to have EARLY SENSE!

Please post a link to where Igboho called Nnamdi Kanu a coward as you claimed. The last time I checked, Igboho was in support of Kanu and even attempted to fight against the security forces on behalf of IPOB.

This FIBA ranking na shit from 15 to fourth become them win Argentina and usa.. even if Nigeria win Belgium, Argentina, brazil and Portugal for football them no fit pass 20 for FIFA ranking

Nigeria was once 5th on FFA rankings pre 1994 World Cup.

SportsHD:
Subuhanallah

You don't compare the way fanatics in the North worship Allah to the way it's done in the south.
There's always a problem with the way the north does their things.

Then the southern Muslims should come out and dissociate themselves from such barbarity.

Shame! When sensible world is going into tech

Agriculture value chain is the highest employer of labour in the U.S and many other developed countries.

Are you sure you are even responsible for the pregnancy?

Very apt question. If he is the owner of the pregnancy he wouldn't be the one chasing the girl.

Jerryherd:



Electronic transmission of results isn't feasible with many polling unit without ordinary communication mast

Even the places with high speed internet, a signal jammer can be deployed with hackers manipulating packet of signal sent between unit and INEC

The process is simple... Acreditate everyone, let everyone vote and wait to see their votes counted making videos and pictures by citizens , INEC ADHOCS and party agents

As advanced as USA is mail in votes and online ballots caused a chaotic election resulting into riot and loss of life

Mail in votes may be chaotic but it has the capacity to reduce the loss of lives at voting centers. Ordinary L.G primary elections that held recently for most parties (APC, PDP and some others) resulted in the loss of lives due to the criminal tendencies of some party members.

gassbee:
they were armed and also exchanging fire with the security operatives, so they had to be neutralised

If it true that they were armed and exchanging fire with the security operatives, why did the DSS destroy the CCTVs in Igboho's house? Was that an attempt to deliberately destroy evidences so that they (the security forces) can present lies to the public as evidences?

Even if we disagree with the methods of the separatists, we shouldn't promote lawlessness of the enforcement agents.

gaetano:
We told sw Apc aka kpomo brethren that this marriage they are going into with these monsters won't end well, but they were ready for all of us to suffer together so their man will get presidency by 2023. Was it really worth it now?

Please all Southerners should be well advised to not break their ranks by bringing partisan politics into these attempts to dominate them.

Whether in APC or PDP, it is very clear that these vermins have one agenda which is to dominate others forcefully. Hence, it is not a question of APC or PDP.

tamdun:
U love to blame Lagos but ignore what chased them down to Lagos, do u expect Lagos govt to provide for everyone coming into Lagos?
Do u have d idea of people migrating to Lagos on daily basis? when Lagos state asked for special status, all region except sw voted against it but they expect lag to carry all NIG burden

Very well said.

Joysticks:
Do you know what oluomo has done for tinubu political career?Being an assassin for a politician is a big risk.

I ain't a fan of Oluomo, but please say things that you can substantiate in the event that you are sued.

This forum is not as faceless as we assume.

Penguin2:
I’m Igbo my dear.

My thinking is that we need ensure APC doesn’t retain power.

The Fulani feudalists in the party won’t let a Southern president perform.

Or you think the Fulanis will give up their agenda just like that?

If you are scared of the Fulanis in APC, they are equally present in PDP, so what's the point? I am just seeking clarification though.

kissGuys:
Same with me.. Never had issues with Gtb since i started banking with them.. Over 6-7yrs ago!

I hope more people can speak up against this dirty and cheap attempt at demarketing the bank. On 3 occasions that I had POS dispense errors, the bank reversed the transactions and credited me once I reported the issues via their app or internet banking unlike other banks that I use.

This whole piece left me confused. Are there 2 GTBanks in this country? I asked this question because GTBank happens to be my bank of choice because of their exceptional service delivery. I haven't had any issue with this bank in recent times, hence I wonder what this is all about. I hope this is not an attempt to demarket this bank because this is what it looks like to me.

Amojii:
And who will enforce this law?

The same framework of enforcement of the anti-grazing law under Fayose in Ekiti is still available.

If Hisbah can enforce destruction of alcoholic drinks in some Northern states, it shouldn't be difficult to enforce anti-grazing law in the South.

BSsniffer:
It's also said that igbo women value drug dealing ritualists. You're a rettarded piece of shit. With all your going to school you amounted to nothing more than a failure who gets off spewing tribal jizz on a faceless forum......in real life you're a looser who gets tossed around.

You didn't need to answer that guy. Apparently, he suffers from an incurable low self-esteem.

fergie001:
I do not think even in the next world, there will ba an answer to the chicken egg issue though but you have these things in every Country.

Tbvh, it is a mess out there. The stories I have heard from multiple sources do not show good upbringing. But again, for every truant, we have world beaters. Guys and Girls breaking multiple records all over the world.

You cannot have a perfect population or a perfect system. The value system has changed. Many even argue that things were better during the Military days.

There was more orderliness, discipline & patriotism. I grew up mostly during the Military era, our system now is all rot. From down below to up there.

I wish I had an answer to that. I am sorry, we call it smartness but it madness.

Thanks for admitting the part I emphasized in bold.

Admittedly, there are still Nigerians doing great all over the world. But my brother I have seen it all.

I grew up in the era where invigilators didn't have work to do because we had self-checking mechanisms: you dared not cheat otherwise you would become the subject of derisive jokes.

Then, I witnessed the country transform into one that cared less about how you achieved your objectives rather it is all about 'the end justifies the means'!

fergie001:
A Nigerian is one of the easiest to govern. Tell me where else, you pay your taxes as due, yet still individually pay for security, for roads, etc.
If you tell a Nigerian, don't deface this wall, he will obey.

But then, he goes to the market and see the same politician who gave that order flouting the rules, he joins in the madness.

Something happened many years ago...In Lagos, the norm is once they cut off your power, you simply call a nearby electrician and he will fix it for you sharp sharp.

So I went to Umuahia, and the PHCN guys came up and did same.... Immediately, they left I called an electrician to reconnect.

If you see the way everyone attacked me. From my Uncle to passers-by to villagers, that they don't try that in Umuahia. I was shocked and everyone who was in that same situation simply went to the Office, paid and the PHCN guys came and reconnected.

In the natural way of taking one's bath, you pour water from your head to the toe.....If a politician is dealt with mercilessly, others will key behind.

When Murtala came in as CiC and was dealing with Governors even though some of those actions were draconian, what happened?

Everyone followed.

Thanks for the scholarly response. At least I wasn't mistaken about you.

Again, it depends on the philosophical question of which comes first, the egg or the chicken?

Your thesis of bad leadership being the source of bad followership is arguable: for instance, how do you explain Nigerians exhibiting abhorrent behaviors in organized countries with good systems and leaders?

Such abhorrent behaviors have set me on collision course with supposedly quality Nigerian minds even outside the shores of this country.

fergie001:
Maybe if you tweak the ceaseless referendum part & also like the Germans offer a powerful Local Government System, t will be an almost perfect system.

There is a caveat however, our Constitution is not the worst in the world instead we have consistent mischievous politicians. Do you think at the Regional or State levels, you won't produce more Emperors.

I most likely prefer a more rigid electoral and judicial system. Our Politicians do what they do because there are no checks-and-balances in the System.

If Abraham Lincoln wakes and writes a Constitution for this set of Nigerian Politicians, they will bypass it...so how do we punish those who do?
This is the biggest question for me.

With your thoughts, you have shown scholarly inclinations. Apt, incisive questions!

However, your question of how to punish politicians shouldn't be restricted to politicians alone; it should be extended to all Nigerians. Nigerians devote more time to "beating the systems" than any other thing in the world.

Abalado:
. The thing tired me o my brother,from Ibadan to Akure then to Owo and Benin,,even the driver didn't understand what they saying self ,, innocent poor driver man

So the suspected kidnapper/ driver is now innocent in your judgement. Someone took passengers from Lagos and on his way to Warri, he claimed that he needed to see someone in Ibadan and he decided to take his passengers without informing them before hand. And he had someone waiting for him (probably an accomplice) and if not for the insistence of the 2 passengers that were awake and the intervention of people passing by, he was gonna pick this accomplice forcefully.

Your claim that the driver didn't understand what they were saying does not hold. He was interrogated in English Language and his responses were not coherent.

I don't like a one party state which Nigeria is heading for. No thanks to PDP for failing to provide the virile opposition that APC needs to keep them in check.

zoedew:
See, forensic science and morbid anatomy properly deployed will help reconstruct the story. An autopsy will reveal how sexually active he was before he died. His semen should be on the beddings. His pubic hair on things Chidimma will go into the package not to talk of signs that show whether or not there was a struggle before he gave up the ghost. The defence will have work to do.

The defence team would sure have to do a lot to get her the minimum possible sentence. That act of withdrawing from the dead man's account makes it pretty difficult coupled with articles that suggest an attempt at identity concealment such as checking in with a fake foreign phone number and fake driver's license. Let her have her day in court and then I find it difficult to understand how an adult of 21 years of age would claim she stabbed someone in the NECK twice in self defence against sexual assault. Apparently the force is not commensurate to the threat.

Pricelessruby:
There is more to this, if killed him for self defence then the money you withdrawn is it for self-defence too

Thank you and may God bless you for this question.

People trying to spin the story aren't even helping her cause.

DWJOBScom:
Did she defend herself from a man who was bent from having sex with her ?? Yes

Why did he lock the door and hid the key ??

Everyone has to defend himself

So when she rented an apartment for the night, she was expecting evangelism?

If the man locked the door, was it the man that booked the apartment as well with a fake foreign phone number?

Was it the man that was in possession of a fake driver's license with stolen identity?

And she was the one who procured the drugs!

After all the events, she had the nerves to leave the crime scene and go to steal from the dead man by withdrawing from his account.

And in addition to the points above:
1. The amount of blood that a man would lose before becoming unconscious and eventually dead is usually much. And a grown up man like Ataga knew the consequence of losing too much blood, so he would have attempted to get help if he was lucid.

2. In the event that he wasn't lucid enough to see the need to get medical help as a result of the supposed drug in his system, it would imply that he wasn't lucid enough to harm her.

A drunk man who is not lucid enough to escape the scene of fight threatening his life cannot be coordinated to engage in a physical brawl.

You can't even spin this!

Jackbaur88:
What baffles me is the wife of the murdered man has not spoken even for once

A friend who claims to know the Atagas very well said Mr and Mrs Ataga were in an estranged relationship and either of the party could have been considering divorce.

That seems to corroborate Chidinma's report where she said that Late Mr Ataga often acted like he was married.

grandlexuz:
What this girl needs at this point is a good lawyer and not interviews with journalists who care next to nothing about her welfare. For the news outlets and bloggers it is all about trending and being the first to report the colour of the bra she wore on the night of the incident..

As a father to a teenage daughter I pity her and wonder at what point drugs could push a 21 year old girl to murder. Afterall fights and disagreement broke out all the time at Hard Drug Smoking Joints and murder is never always the outcome..

If she made payments for the Short Service outlet then she definitely knew it was a night for sex. After all what business has a 21 year old undergraduate got with a 50 year old CEO. Whatever went wrong I doubt self defence was a major factor that led to the CEO's death.

The absence of visible marks on the girls body puts self defence at bay. You cant defend yourself and come out without a black eye or cuts to the body judging a knife was involved. She came out unscathed while the man got three fatal wounds. Me think after the emotional ploy to get the man's pincode her anxiety and motive to kill heightened.

You complain the man doesn't meet your needs nor take care of you. When he hands over his card and pin you say that's not what you want and meant. Went ahead to kill him, cleaned off and left to the ATM to withdraw money for your fees. That she moved on so easily in the face of a gruesome murder is frightening. I think I need to ask my daughter some questions.


I have seen men given a new lease to life by side chicks, I have seen others die young at the hands of their wives; a lady just got the death sentence for slaughtering her husband. I have seen men abandoned by their wives during times of hardship and sickness only for a side chick to step in and make a difference. At such I will not judge Ataga. Just like Abacha he wasn't lucky.

Disturbing though is the news of a 50year old man smoking SK and Loud with a girl young enough to be his daughter..It was not just a side chick relationship but a toxic party that went bad for both parties.

Beautiful submissions you made. I would further add that:

(1) She rented the short let apartment using a fake international phone number. The question then arises: what was she trying to conceal? Isn't that suggestive of premeditated murder?

2. And again, why did she have a fake driver's license? Another attempt at concealing her identity!

If she is married, her attempts to clean her infidelity tracks would have made some sense.

3. She was the one who ordered for the drugs showing clearly that she has a steady source of supplies.

She claimed that Ataga used to take drugs but I want to believe that she introduced him to drugs perhaps to make it easier for her to kill him. It is unfortunate that Ataga is not here to tell his side of the story but it is not impossible that she laced his drinks with the drugs!

4. The most shocking part for me, is that she claimed to have killed her lover in self defence and she cleaned up, went home to her dad like nothing happened. She didn't have nightmares or behave strangely as to suggest to the dad that something was amiss.

This suggests to me that she is either a cold-blooded killer or she has the potentials and tendencies.

I feel for her, because no matter what she has messed up her whole life.

Doradorwa:
lol.... I know I will never get to the bench... I love when things like this gets dirty. That's why I choosed Political Science.... Let's wait for the court verdict sir... The court always win.

Very well. It has been nice bantering with you. I wish you the very best in your academic pursuit in Political science.

Doradorwa:
1.The accused was also wounded check the first picture released by the police. And the accused was equally drugged just like the deseased. Nobody goes to the hospital to treat a punch wound.

2. Doing that might have complicate her cos along the line a urine test will be conducted and an autopsy of the deseased will also show drug traces. Our client knowing this decided not to report to the police but let them discover the body themselves. Our client was never criminal minded my lord, she was about to turn herself in and that is the reason she never left lagos.

3. There was only 1 place with traces of blood. This shows that the deseased was killed by at the same spot.

4. Was there any place in the deseased body that suggest a toture wound. Perhaps a rope to bind him or a cloth to gaude his mouth?.

Let's just leave this the way it is sir.... I have great respect for dead people.

Your attempt at playing defense counsel is hilarious��.

Your client was about to turn herself in several days after killing someone in self defence yet even when the news broke out in several news media she didn't turn herself in until policemen expended tax payers' money to narrow the murder down to her.

If it was that easy a lot of criminals would have escaped justice.


You people should even be thinking of how raise funds for her to get very good lawyers because the family of the Deadman are wealthier and can afford the services of accomplished SANs.

Doradorwa:
1. A self defense case might go well in the court. A premeditated murder will been smoother perhaps with a slit of throat or posion or by blocking the nasal flow the deseased.

2. Her lawyer might plead that she got scared and posing that she had drugs with her she dread what the law might say about her.

3. The accused never left the state where the crime was committed... Infact she stayed at a predictable place..

4. The Atm pin was given to her by the deceased before he died which according to the lady was willing.

I hope I countered your 4 points well. A celebrity case like this is seriously hard to predict but let's wait for the results.... I'm in no way related to the lady or supporting her... I'm just guaging facts

Thank God for your life that you aren't a lawyer otherwise these lines of defence will get your clients into trouble. These are my responses to your submissions:

1. Someone who accidentally killed in self defence wouldn't stab his or her victims several times. Usually, the intention in self defence is to destabilize the assailant and escape

2. Fear of what the law would say about having drugs in your system is not a defence in a possible murder or manslaughter case. It is never an excuse. There is a reason why drivers are not to abscond from accident scenes even if lives are lost. Leaving the crime scene without turning yourself in to the police leads to complications that wouldn't help the defence team.

3. Not leaving the State where the crime was committed is not the same thing as not taking flight from the crime scene.
Leaving the scene of the crime without reporting to the nearest police station for several days showed that she wanted to conceal her crime and evade justice.

Remember that she didn't even tell her dad of what happened even if she could have lied to her dad that she accidentally killed a man who wanted to rape her.

Further questions would reveal what happened to the blood stained clothes she wore on that day and the amount of blood at the crime scene.

Were there attempts to clean up the scene?

4. Assuming without conceding that the late Ataga gave her his pin while alive, the right to use that PIN and ATM card expires the moment he died to the knowledge of the girl.

How do you justify the "killing of a man in self-defence against sexual assault and withdrawal from the man's account after killing him in self-defence"?

I understand that you aren't related to the lady and might just be considering the various possibilities. But the truth is that this girl's case is a very BAD one and self defence wouldn't suffice.

Too bad that she killed the man and decided to waste her own life.

Doradorwa:
Naturally the school will deny her soon... They just need the police to conclude their investigation. Once she plead guilty at court they will disown her.

Such a shame.... A cheap shame for that matter. Sincerely she is a lucky bitch.... Self defense will be used at the court.... She'll get a minimum of 4 years. Come out and continue her life.

I'm saying this base on the picture of the dead body released. Multitude stab wounds even on the leg of the corpse might go well for self defense after all the deseased was an amateur boxer that posed as a threat to her.

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

A very good prosecuting counsel will take this girl to the cleaners fairly easily.

The plea of self-defense will not fly for the following reasons:

(1) Multiple knife wounds makes the self-defense line lame

(2) Not alerting the police authorities or the apartment managers about the attack on the man (even if it was for self defence)

(3) Absconding after the act

(4) Withdrawing from the dead man's account

Those 4 points will make it difficult for defence counsel to successfully pleas self defence as the reason for killing the man.

This lady will most likely get sentenced for murder or at least manslaughter. Hence your 4 years sentence is not gonna happen.

And remember that she was caught with a fake license and international number and these are additional facts that will establish her criminal tendencies.

Imagine.

Just by testimony, the guy pled guilty and was convicted.

Here with both testimony and a CCTV footage, some still dey say na Set up.

And that is why our society is messed up in Africa and Nigeria particularly. People find all manners of justification for criminals and their criminalities.
