Abeg make una cool una blood, na all this "fraudulent" jail sentence. He's just been handed a 2 year jail term. All the 154 years na lie dey there, its 77 counts x 2= 154years. The 77 counts will be served concurrently meaning all the counts starts same day that he was arrested and will end after 2years. He's probably used 10-12 months (starts since d first day of arrest through to court hearing and verdict) out of the 2 years and it will remain less than 12 months to spend in Jail. The late alams was the same, he was handed 12 years on 6 count charge and he had exhausted like 18 months through court hearing and verdict. By the time they convicted him it was 6 month left which he spent in Dubai as he claimed health issues.
Ibori was sentenced to 13 years in 2012 and got out in 2017. Tell me my maths teacher has thought me wrong 2012+13 = 2017

English LAW is the greatest fraud of all times. Make we throway the useless thing and burrow law from china or Saudi, make we kill them all. Fraudulent law that is used to try fraudulent people, no be fraudulent jail sentence we go get!!! awon wereyyyyy

Who told you that he will serve it concurrently? Did you read the judgment in details? What if the judgment actually said the punishments should run consecutively?

If Ojukwu ran away to Ivory Coast like a woman to escape death does that automatically mean every high ranking military man that is Yoruba would run away when faced with the possibility of death

at this point, I give up on you. Thought we were having a reasonable discussion why bring in Ojukwu in this matter?

You are not Okun but you know what's on their mind.

please don't mention me again. Thank you.

BakireBulmaker:


It's not the same thing.

For whatever reason, it's the bearers of those names themselves that claim they are not Igbo.

However, northern Yorubas have never denied their Yoruba ancestry/heritage. All they are agitating for now is to be joined to the SW.

Got it

And who told you that everybody in the north is hausa/fulani?

The Nigeria that you guys so much love has classified them as northerners.

What will you say about Benue people that are in the north?

The mere fact that you are in the north doesn't make you a fulani or Hausa.

Why is Kwara people not agitating to be joined back to the Southwest?

I know that Nigeria has an issue but you have to be objective when two matters of similar facts present themselves.

One Nigeria indeed!

NubiLove:
The Okun people do NOT claim to be Yoruba because they want to avoid being called a Northener... they are actually Yorubas that got separated from the main Yoruba clusters of state starting from a war with the Nupes in the 19th century. The Okun people speak dialects of Yoruba language and also the popular general Yoruba language...

The Okun people's traditions, customs, dressings and culture are exactly like Yorubas... they can still trace their roots to Ile-Ife by oral traditions.

You get it... they have NEVER denied being Yoruba for any reason and have always insisted they should be in a Yoruba state... the other Yoruba groups see them as Yorubas!

PS: I am also a big supporter of fix Nigeria's problem instead of breaking Nigeria up.

Ikwerre, Obigbo, Omoku, Ahoada, all in rivers state, speak variants of Igbo. The Igbo of Obigbo people is clearer to an Enugu person than the Igbo of an Owerri person.

Like I said before, the reason some of them deny being Igbo is that they don't want to be associated with the stigma already placed on the Igbo nation.

I bet you, if the north was not this backward, oozing with violence, and if the South west was not relatively stable as it is now, the Okun people in Kogi will not even remember their root in Yoruba.

Identity crisis is the height of inferiority complex and that is what the Ikwerre people are suffering.

Mind you, the present Secretary general of oha na Eze Ndigbo is an Ikwerre man. Some Ikwerre people like him still have sense.

naijaboiy:

Kogi is now the north?

So which states do we have in the middle belt mister legal?

There is nothing like middle belt in Nigeria legally speaking, what we have is north central.

We have
1)Southeast
2)southwest
3)south south
4)northwest
5)northeast, and
6)north central.
These are the six geo-political zones in which Nigeria is divided.

Benue, Kogi,Kwara etç fall under north central and that is why the same penal code which is applicable in the northern Nigeria, also applies to them.

I know that Nigeria has a problem and that is why Biafrans will, rightly though, say that Igbo speaking parts of Rivers,Delta, Cross River etç are Igbo and belongs to the Ndigbo.

I can still kindly educate you further.

Got it

You failed to understand why some of them refused to be identified as such.

It happened after the civil war. The Igbos became a conquered territory and it was very difficult to be Igbo then - your property were declared abandoned, you were entitled to 20pounds only, no matter how much you had in the bank, you were alienated from the government and military. So some people denied their roots by quickly changing their names.

In the case of Yorubas in the north, nobody would want to be from the north, who has the opportunity of identifying with other tribes. North in Nigeria is synonymous with everything bad - lack of development, extremism, illiteracy and what have you. The Yorubas in the north were merged to kogi in order to achieve a purpose- the expansion of the northern oligarchy.

So you see?

By the way, what is painful in being called a northern as a Yoruba when you guys so much love one Nigeria? Deal with it.

We have a lot of problem in Nigeria, we only care about the ones that we think affect us.

One Nigeria indeed.

Someone that bears "Atinuke oyelude" is from the north?

What pains me the most though is, you will see someone named Oyelude Atinuke yet she will be termed a northerner by virtue of our colonial masters' erroneous geographical classification which no one has bothered to rectify till date.

We okun people are Yorubas and deserve to be classed with our kinsmen in the West, not made a negligible minority in the North!!!

The same way it pains me to hear Igbo names like Chibuike Amaechi, Peter Odili, Elechi Amadi, Chinda Dike, Ifeanyi Okowa and people classify them as none Igbos because of the useless country that is poised in dividing and ruling us.

Reprisal accident loading in Yenegoa. They will soon attack and El rufai will call it reprisal accident.

Those fulani people don't forget neither do they forgive.

Kai five cows dead? Once Buhari hears this, he will quickly come back to Nigeria to ask Gov Dickson why he allowed a car to kill five of his fulani brothers cows.

A few days ago, freshly-minted United States President Donald Trump released a list of seven Muslim countries whose citizens have been temporarily banned from visiting the U.S. As expected, the list has generated a lot of controversies from those who believe that the ban contravenes the basic principle of tolerance upon which America was built.

I am of the view that condemning the action of the U.S. president without taking a wholistic look at the issues which informed it amounts to playing to the gallery.

During the electioneering-campaign, Trump promised he would restrict Muslims’ coming into his country if he won the election. He campaigned and got elected on the strength of those promises. Which means, the American people who elected him actually wanted him to bar Muslims from coming to America. How can any reasonable person now expect the U.S. president to renege on his campaign promises to his own people just to please the world? Is president Trump’s first duty no longer to the people who elected him?

Personally, I can never understand why those refugees would leave Saudi Arabia the headquarters of the world, Behrain, Kuwait, Iran, Lebanon and all the other countries with whom they share the same religion, language, culture and even common boundary and walk thousands of kilometres all the way to Europe and America, places with which they have absolutely nothing in common. The same America these people condemn on daily basis? The same America that is peopled by ‘infidels’ who eat pork and have sex with people of the same sex? I have never been able to understand this! And I really want to understand it.


Rather than joining the pseudo-moralists to lambast Trump for banning certain Muslims from visiting his country, we should look at the reasons that inform his decision which is the fear of those Muslims growing so bold and audacious to force their own lifestyles on his American people through violent means.


Not all Muslims are terrorists, granted. But, almost all terrorists that have ever carried out terrorist attacks in Europe and America are Muslims and almost all known terrorist groups in the world today profess Islam. This is a statement of fact, verifiable fact! So in all honesty, can we really say that Trump’s fears are baseless? We must do away with political correctness for once and tell ourselves the bitter truth here: Humanity has always been at war with radical Islam.


Granted, the number of those committing atrocities in the name of Islam is negligible when compared to the so-called genuine Muslims. Now, the question is, what do the so-called moderate Muslims do whenever the radical ones kill innocent people in the name of religion? The answer is nothing!
When a Christian woman, Mrs. Bridget Agbohime was beheaded in Kano by Muslim youths, what was the level of outrage from the Nigerian Muslim community. None at all! Even the president indirectly blamed the dead woman for not respecting the religion of her killers. As I type this, all the killers yet roam the earth as free men.


How many times have the so-called moderates protested against any of the numerous terrorist attacks carried out by their radical Muslims around the world?
But, now, they are all protesting against the Trump list even when it was their conspiracy of silence which connotes complicity in those attacks that birthed the Trump list.


As long as the larger population of Muslims who claim to be peaceful find it difficult to openly condemn the mindless bloodletting the few radical ones carry out in the name of a great, peaceful, the larger Muslim population will always remain irrelevant and the criminal activities of those few extremists will continue to determine how Islam is viewed by the rest of the world!


So, instead of wallowing in self-pity, the world needs to do more to combat Islamic fundamentalism. So far, all are not doing much in that regard. President Trump is not to blame. Radical Islam and the silence of the moderate Muslims in the face of the senseless killings are to blame for all these.


The earlier the world admits that something is fundamentally wrong with some teachings especially the violent tendencies and work towards genuine reforms to take out those violent elements and teachings from where terrorists have continued to draw their inspiration, the better for Islam and the rest of the human race!

In as much as I like this man, I think he's a hypocrite for calling for an increment now. Why didn't he say this during the last administration ?

there was no inflation then. Then 19800 could be two bags of rice with some change but now it can't buy a bag of rice.

Then fuel was #87 not #150, there was no inflation.

Mind you, it was Jonathan that increased the allowance from #9500 to 19800.

You think so?

Truth has always been so bitter that idiots who hear the truth rather than contemplating on the truth, resort to casting aspersions.

I am not moved.

If this mere commissioner is serious, he should do the needful by sending the name of justice Walter Onnoghen to the Senate for confirmation.

He is a lawyer, a professor of law and a SAN and should be in a better position to know the implication of not confirming Onnoghen as the CJN.

He is the acting president now and has the power to carry out all the functions of the president unless he wants to prove to people that he is really a mere commissioner.

All of them are Youruba except one.

This is The more reason Yorubas suffer the most now.

This is The more reason only the Yorubas should protest on 5th February.

Most of them are regretting now why they were so stupid to have voted a disaster as president.

I'm not a muslim, but how many times have you seen muslims burnt shrine all in the name of crusade?

they burn churches because they see churches as shrines. They kill Christians because they see Christians as infidels. When Muslims do these, we Christians shout and wail but we still do same to African traditional adherents.

Who didnt know that Buhari was/is integrity challenged?

You are not fit to be called a professor because you are presumed to have studied history and Buhari's sojourn as a ruthless military ruler.

A man who promulgated decrees, made them to apply retrospectively, just to target his enemies.

Is it that you, Prof Farooq, didn't know that Buhari overthrew a democratically elected government? Or is it that you voted Buhari because of your hatred for GEJ?

Prof, please tell I pray thee, is it that you didn't know that during Buhari's military regime that he plunged Nigeria into recession for the first and last time until now that he is back as president?

Mr Prof, let me tell you that it was Buhari who put Dikio in a crate just to bring him back to Nigeria. Human rights abuse was unprecedented.

If you knew these yet you thought Buhari had integrity, then your professorship should be questioned. It is doubtful if you deserve it.

And indeed the problem with some of you as someone just mention is primary 3 level of comprehension.
I have read the story and still can't find how a detailed explanation of the cause of the problem (the killing of their ppl including a well respected leader and stealing of over 500 of their cows by locals identified to the police who yet took no action) amount to taking full responsibility for the murders? Where did you read that the MACBAN or any of its affiliates took full responsibility for any killing?
Comprehension, Comprehension, Comprehension - seems to have evaded you; though I am happy with link because provided further insight to the untold story of the Fulani side of the conflict.
As for the Arabic currency inscriptions and military logo matter, pls do not quote to me any part of the constitution and further display your abject ignorance.
Kindly explain how usage of any language or alphabet constitute to adoption of a religion; do you know that there are arabic translations of the Bible and that many Arabs are also Christians?
Besides, if you should still continue have a problem with all of this, why not take your complaint to our colonial masters, also christians like yourself, who started it all.

Lastly, you can similarly take your complaint to God for creating more Muslims in this country - bigotry is a disease; stop being ignorant and hateful.

You are a real aboki - lacking in intelligence and decorum. You said that our colonial masters started all what? The Arabic inscriptions on the naira or the Islamic logo on the army uniform?

When I read this, I lost hope in our common effort to educate the north. When did we start using the naira? The present army uniform, when was it introduced? The person that removed History in our curriculum has done an irreparable disservice to this nation.

If not that boko haram started killing your fellow Muslims, people like you lacking in intelligence and overflowing in idiocy, would have thought that Christians deserved to be killed by boko haram.

Trump in his wisdom has signed an executive order banning terrorists like you from entering the US.

You think that there are more Muslims in Nigeria? SMH. Why do you guys oppose the inclusion of religion in our census? What we have in the north are cows and rams being counted as human beings.But I know why. People like you understand that you have lesser brains than those animals.

What a fantastic lie, pls provide the link or reference where the MACBAN openly claimed responsibility for any killing or shut up - how stupid would a registered association that can sue and be sued be to do such a thing and still expect to go scot free; if not for your blatant lie. Where is CAN and other Christian organisations who would ignorantly pick on inconsequential issues such as Arabic writing on our currency and Army logo or the American Sec of State's visit to the Sultan etc?

As for right to self defence, no one can argue about that; had the apostle stood before his parish and called for Christians to defend themselves if attacked, no one would say a word; however, what he preached was quite the opposite; he was there openly and recklessly inciting his followers commit murder.

Thankfully, the video has already gone viral and therefore easily available for debate and public scrutiny; he could be heard clearly saying:
(@ 0.47 sec) "I TOLD MY PEOPLE ANY FULANI HERDSMAN YOU SEE AROUND YOU, KILL HIM", (@ 1.02 min.) "AND I'VE TOLD THEM IN THE CHURCH HERE THAT ANY FULANI HERDSMAN THAT JUST ENTERED BY MISTAKE, KILL HIM, KILL HIM, CUT HIS HIS HEAD"...and the incitement continued.

In other words any herdsman who mistakenly strays around the church premises should automatically be killed on sight, irrespective of whether or not he poses a threat to anybody or innocent of any killings; according to this man of God such, person's death sentence was simply for being Fulani and a herdsman, just because he heard a rumour (a mere hearsay without confirmation) that some herdsmen would attack him - can you imagine that?
See the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crkQJLKwWmo

How can that be construed as preaching self defence?

The problem of Nigeria is that people like you are not sincere. You call Arabic inscription on the naira and the Islamic logo on the army uniform inconsequential issues?

Since Nigeria is a secular state by virtue of section 10 of the constitution, why is Nigeria structured in such a way as to favour a particular religion to the extent of having their logos and inscriptions on our national identity. Are we all Muslims?

If I fulani herdsman walks inside a church, know ye that he has come to kill and in self defense, it is only right that his head be cut off. How can a herdsman mistakenly walk inside a church?

Indeed we all are not sincere.

Self defence is a guaranteed right. The right to kill another in defense of oneself is a universal right. It is a defence to murder.

You can also kill in defense of another person. For example, when your neighbour is in danger of being killed, you can kill the intending murderer and it will be a complete defence to murder.

Apostle Suleiman simply reminded Christians of this defence and the DSS is already after him.

When the association of herdsmen, I think they answer Miyatti whatever- openly claimed responsibility for the Agatu massacre, nothing happened nothwisthanding that they made the revelation right in front of the IGP.

Buhari said that the monstrous Islamic herdsmen are from lybia, the northern governors forum said they are from Senegal and Mali while the dwarf presiding over kaduna said that he has already paid them. Is it now a crime for Nigerians to protect themselves against the foreign Islamic monsters?

Some stupid people doubted how Buhari was going to Islamize Nigeria and went ahead and voted this disaster. I am happy to announce to you that the islamisation of Nigeria is here with us.

I pity us, we are never sincere.

This sort of selective values only serve to diminish religion in the eyes of people eventually.

he was addressing the issue of Southern kaduna killings.
Did you expect him to keep quiet and watch his fellow Christians murdered like cows?

All those who encourage these killings directly by sponsoring these devils or indirectly by keeping quiet, are cursed.

lalasticlala mydn44 where are you.

Nigeria is indeed cursed and to think that it is only the Igbos that clamour for Nigeria's breakup, is annoying.

Our slavish mentality will not allow us make reasonable decisions even though we know the right things to do.

The founder and presiding Bishop
of the megachurch, Faith
Tabernacle, Bishop David Oyedepo
has invoked God’s curses on those
fueling Southern Kaduna killings,
saying God should break up Nigeria
now if it is His will.


The Bishop who, during a
ministration and while raining down
curses on those promoting the
wanton killings, equally said that
God sent him to this continent as
His apostle of liberation to stop it
from decadence.

“God sent me as His apostle of
liberation to this continent to stop
it from decadence.”

“I heard from God and He has
proved it beyond measure.
Therefore, every occultic root,
every political root of this uprising
is cursed today!”

The congregation shouted “Amen!”

“All the northern forces that are
sponsoring this uprising and
killings, i decree the curse of God
upon them.”

Congregation shouted “Amen!”

Speaks in tongues.

Continuing, he said, ” Lord, if it is
your will to break up Nigeria, break
it now!”

Speaks in tongues again.

To his members, he said, “Come on,
pray in the spirit everybody. Pray
in the spirit, open fire, call down
the Holy Ghost fire to descend on
the camp of the enermy. Enough is
Enough!”

Speaks in tongues again.

“If Nigeria wakes up, wait for the
church to rise. There will be no
more nation, what nonsense.”

“What demonic devils. What Islamic
demons. If Nigeria waits for the
church to rise, Nigeria will
disappear as a nation.”

Speaks in tongue.

“You mean God cannot protect
people? What a mess!”

“Every agent of destruction in
Government today, call fire down
on their head, call fire down on
their head.”

“Everyone sponsoring evil against
the nation, let your fire fall on
him!”

“A Boko Haram agent was captured
and they said he escaped.
Everyone connected to his escape,
fire consume them, consume them,
consume them!”

To his congregation, he said, “Go
ahead and pray.”

Prays in tongue.

“Fire of the Lord consume them!”

“I was even told from report that
they were targeting this church. I
said what?”

“Even if i was asleep, if you see
anybody here kill him! Kill him and
spill his blood on the ground. I am
saying that to you, what
nonsense, what devil. You think
our God is an idol?”

The faithful shouted “No!”

“If I put fire on your tail to
overrun the city, you will do it in
one minute. What is that? What
devil?”

“I stand today with every
authority on me, and I declare the
Boko Haram camp cursed!”

“I declare their collaborators
cursed! I decree their sponsors
cursed!”

“I declare their collaborators
cursed. I decree their sponsors
cursed!”

“Must the north continue to rule?”
“What devils!”

“God has anointed me to lead a
revolution against the Islamic
jihadist and as the Lord liveth and
as the anointing of Jeru-Baal
that’s on me, we declare them
extinct in the name of Jesus!”
“Amen!”

“You catch anyone that looks like
them, kill him!”

“There is no reporting to anybody.
Kill him! Pull off his neck! And we
spill his blood on the ground. What
nonsense.”

“They said why should Christians
say they could defend themselves,
hold it! What stupid statement,
why should Christians say they
could defend themselves? So, they
should watch for you to put a
knife to their necks?”

“You think we are dummies? What!
What?”

“All those zeros census they are
fake. Where are the human
beings?”

“Where are they? We go around
the place. Where are they?”
“We’ve never had a successful
census in this country. Where are
they?”

“Don’t mistake only those in
politics as in power. The anointed
in the Lord are the ones in power.
By divine ordination, don’t mistake
that.”

“There was a king in the land but
Elijah was determining the events
of the nation.”

“If i say it will not rain here for
three years, it will not drop. What
nonsense!”

“Who born their mother, who born
their father? They are too small.”
“Come! Get excited and walk in
confidence. Any devil that
misbehaves around you will be slain
by the fire!”

A thunderous “Amen” echoed from
the congregation.
