Our governments like to go on vacations while on duty. If the government is not on its toes, that place will be a shanty again within month.
Also, there need to be reorientation for people outside Lagos who are looking to come to Lagos without plans. You can actually be richer than many people living in Lagos if you stay back in your village and utilize the vast arable lands for agriculture. Lagosians don't farm agriculture will always be a gold mine. Rather than roaming the streets of Lagos doing nothing.
Many people in Lagos have family lands in their home state wasting away while they roam the streets of Lagos wasting away themselves. There needs to be a serious mind reengineering.
Nigerians don't show rage towards their oppressors rather they look for someone else to opress. This is not to justify the thief in any way. If you feel you must punish the thief, report her to the police let her be charged to court rather than taking laws into your hands and enacting animalistic behaviours.
Now the thief has a moral ground to stand over them.
AfroBeatDiary: I watch his documentary sometimes back, I knew it may not take long before he die as he give up on all available remedies to reduce the excess weight needed before the clinical begins, he needed to be under 300 pounds and he went to 600 from about 450 pounds, the doctor chastise him and made 2 visit to his home but at the second weighing, the doctor was disappointed and left and he said it doesn't seems he can overcome his condition and perhaps he should just enjoy the things he likes in this little time remaining. The power of tongue is strong.

SonofElElyonRet: You are spreading falsehood.. the constitution has no such loophole. 21 years is the age under marriage act and parental consent is required for those under 21. I quoted the matrimonial causes act as well as the child rights act... the matrimonial causes act and the child rights act are in force in the South and those who flout them commit a crime... having sex with anyone under 18 is statutory rape and people have been sentenced to life imprisonment in Lagos for this. You are just talking like a paedophile... how can any sane person say that you don't need the consent of the bride in marriage disgraceful... the north obviously argues that their religion allows them to marry underaged girls and that is being addressed. Give me an example of anyone who has married a woman below 18 in a marriage registry in the South... you are dangerously ignorant or deliberately spreading falsehood...
when you feel that to make your point you have to insult the other person know you are losing the plot. This thread is about marriage not rape. The article I referenced did talk about imo state being one of the states with a high child marriage rate and that's an article from human rights watch. It's up to you to hold on to whatever you believe. I'm done.
SonofElElyonRet: So you can marry off a person without her consent My goodness... I will not quote any section. You go find it. That's trite law and even a law undergraduate knows this... Dgolly !!! How can you even argue that a person can be married off without her consent Consent must be freely given by the person getting married and not under duress or fraudulently obtained...
p.s. Section 3. Sub section 1(d) matrimonial causes act is explicit enough The child rights act is also explicit enough. Child Rights Act (part III, Section 21) No person under the age of 18 years is capable of contracting a valid marriage, and accordingly a marriage so contracted is null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
The article under should enlighten you the more...
The child rights act does not invalidate the marriage act. You are letting the morality of the topic beguile your attention to detail. That's why you keep going and hominem. That a lawyer defends a criminal in court doesn't mean he himself is a criminal. His job is to help his client interprete the law.
Even the article clearly states that not all states of the federation has adopted the child rights act inti their legislation. Here's an article that clearly state that despite the fact that Imo state was one of the first to adopt the child rights act, underaged marriage there is still one of the highest in the state and the reason is because the constitution has that loophole that a parent can marry an underaged child off. Wether it is moral is a different quest.

With the way the police is quick to try and cover up, it probably belongs to him. Either way, it belongs to an influential person, that's why there's pressure on the woman to let go of any case.
