ericsmith: You people n these "develop world" crap, so what should av been the judgement for an "intentional murder" not self defense or mental illness or no alcohol. please refer me to cases of murder that the accused walked free.
You can only think in binary even though there are hundreds of choices in between. Either the accused walk free or they are killed.
BTW, accused people walk free all the time and even sue the state in some cases. Whether they are accused of murder, kidnapping or banditry. It is hard to understand the difference between sentimental jungle justice and legal framework because you haven't been exposed to civil discourse.
Even the holy bible judgement for murder is to be killed.
This is ridiculous. This shows you are wholly ignorant of the law. How many times have you judged yourself with bible "judgment"? Who is to pass such judgment and enforce it?
why some of esp. men wil chose to defend a cold blood murder is beyond hypocrisy,
Again, you show your basal thinking ability. No, jungle justice should not be part of our court. If I say you shouldn't burn a pickpocket alive does that mean I am supporting the pickpocket? It is not that hard to understand is it?
oh! its a female. #smh Is a woman's life worth more than a man's life.
Having being logically cornered with nowhere to run, you have to appeal to the last bastion of irrationality. Appeal to emotion.
Arrewa: CAN at the other hand is a biggest treat to northern Nigeria Muric dey even learn for where CAN dey when it comes to hypocrisy,stereotype and saying something that has no significance out of proportion
How people of God easily find the will and courage to hate and spread propaganda usually overwhelms me. Islam, religion of peace. Christianity, religion of love. And yet, we experience neither peace nor love in this country
Never compare CAN with Muric.
MURIC is trying to cause problem where none exist through lies while CAN is in a sectarian fight where conflict already exists.
Oluchinwali: As for Lilian Osuofia she is nothing but a big time prostitute, this is just the beginning for her, that was how she defrauded and killed the owner of nichben using her light skin color and innocent to defraud and scam people, she has floated and scammed many companies from winfate, to Life Sow all she ran and used to defraud many innocent people, all her sins it is her children that will eventually pay for it
Paid propagandist. What is the connection between a fraud case and prostitution? SMH.
ericsmith: I don't see any sacarsm in that post, infact maryam lawyer couldnt av said it any better than you did, unfortunately yewande oyediran was a subversion of justice n shuldnt be cited xcept for defence. Now lemme ask, can any prosecuting counsel in nigeria ever cite yewande case to a judge."Big NO" only a defence counsel will make reference to it, and we all know it an injustice then 017. so mr man who ever reads ur comparism of where sum1 got 7yrs 4 manslaughter and another got life sentence will only see the court as been unfair to the later, the court got it right these time give the glory to justice not prominience or connection.
The court did not get it right. You are just being sentimental. Nowhere in the developed world or any country with a developed legal system will a spouse get life imprisonment let alone death sentence for domestic manslaughter.
There is a difference between legal and jungle justice.
Appetizerbmaz: Y'all think scientists don't have the sense to make money, they simply create this virus and infect people. With the cure already in place they start to sell it to make money.
SenecaTheYonger: i remember when I used to type and argue with my friends over here like this just because I had gone to Uni and read physics, became exposed, until they got my dad. I hope you remain blind and ignorant forever though, this path is actually dark.
You aren't that bright neither are you properly educated. That is why your beliefs are swayed by what you read rather than what you think and understand.
Suppose they didn't "got your dad", you would have been parading yourself like an enlightened being even though you are not even close to being one.
You had to go back to base(the simple things that seems to make sense) because the other option involve real thinking.
Blue3k: Obasanjo essentially sold out Nigerians to futher state and corprate interest. Corporations can simply go to state and have them confiscate land. They no longer have to bother with negotiating prices. This scenario is playing out in Jigawa to benefit chinese investors.
You seem to negate your earlier point. If you want the land use Act repealed for economic reasons then you cannot fault Obasanjo's reason.
Dangote refinery was moved from Ondo to Lagos due to the indigenes' unrealistic demands despite the state government supposedly owning the lands.
The 2nd Niger bridge will never be completed nor the Enugu Airport takeoff in the absence of the land use act given the number of Sharks that would demand outrageous compensation from contractors.
In almost all cases, Nigerians understand that public good should trump private concerns so I see no reason why land should be any different.
Land in Nigeria can be used as collateral as long as the necessary procedure is followed.
The land use act should be slightly amended not repealed.
Enwhen: Fulani in plateau before Baba Buhari ?, Chaiiii , is only the Fulani that can tell u the fire for fire fire they got in plateau even in Taraba , but now the govt is really helping them , making it difficult for plateau people to really hit them hard ...See ba, Fulani are minority in the north, they are only bringing their brothers from other part of Africa ,and presently they have taken over from hausa in terms of populus tribe with the aid of foreign Invaders..
Pls don't brag about south west , the fulanis are well equipped now , they have AK49 and many strong weapons , I doubt it if an average agbero or village boy in the south west have an AK47, let alone AK49, these guys knows nothing but cattle rearing , kidnapping and war, they don't have mentality of schooling, that's their life style,
Have you forgotten the OBJ days? The Special Task Force and the daily killings?
This is what I experienced first hand, not some story told. The Fulanis wreaked havoc in Jos despite being a minority.
It is not about weapons, they hardly fight an open battle. Their tactic is to hit, run and hide and wait for the next attack. So, whatever weapon you think you have is useless as long as they have a secure base.
Unlike the middle belt, there is no single local government where herdsmen control in the SW despite some of them having lived for years in the SW.
Just check the middle-belt, herdsmen and their supporters are in charge of many local governments where they can plan to launch attacks.
You said diabolism doesn't follow logic. But you are now making a logical connection between a threat and unusual symptoms while ascribing it to diabolism.
chigoizie7: Who told you that it wasn’t a premeditated murder?
They had quarrel, the young man left the house for her to return few days back home, they were not fighting, he was sitting on the couch when she stabbed him on the back multiple times. And you say it was not premeditated?
Were you a witness? Were there other witnesses? Any evidence safe of a confessional statement cannot get her convicted of murder.
Jayy10: "She was threatened by this colleague and seven days later, she was struck with a strange and severe migraine. All evidence pointed to this colleague of hers because she usually appeared in a trance; and uses a heavy stick to hit her head continuously. The pain would be so severe that this family friend would just be screaming and calling out for help."
What logical explanation can you attribute to this? Why did she start experiencing the migraines after the threats? How do you relate her colleague's constant appearance in a trance to the migraines?
You are applying a flawed logic to something that you claimed is not governed by logic. How does that work?
Jayy10: The world is not entirely based on logic. Diabolism, and/or spirituality are not entirely explained logically. There's a whole lot of happenings that cannot just be explained.
If it can't be explained, how can you claim to understand it and attribute a definite cause to it?
Jayy10: You can't always have what you want. That's a general life principle!
Simple logic dictates that a person who can supposedly construct a jet shouldn't have a problem constructing a kite. But that doesn't seem to apply to "diabolical" believers.
SenecaTheYonger: Small pikin close mouth and go watch power rangers on CN
ArticleBeast: You must be a kid... One day you will learn
lifeagain22: . This one needs to be taught a spiritual Lesson ...Can you simply put this to test ,I can direct U to a Village just go there and Tell them Witches are mad and stupid and leave immediately without anyone touching u ...that night u won't b the one typing this Rubbish
See these uncritical beings who swallow everything that their equally ignorant friends and relations tell them. Those diabolical people get sick, they struggle to feed, they struggle to cloth their children. Yet, they have the power to turn the day into night and control other people's life but can't help their own life. SMH
FunkyAlhaji2015: You have followed that case bro. Just chill
She had disagreement with the husband and the husband left the house for tempers to cool. Upon return the wife stabbFriends. Friend have also reported that the woman had threatened to stab the husband several times before during misunderstandings
After committing the murder, she called in her family member to help clean up the mess and make it look like an accident. They never called the police. That's barbaric in every form. No remorse
Actually, there is no witness to the murder and what she said prior during a misunderstanding is not waterproof evidence. It is not today that unstable people threaten violence without following through which is why the husband did not take her threat seriously. I think she needs to change her lawyer.
For a murder conviction to stick, the prosecutor has to prove that she planned it or knew beforehand that her action will inevitably lead to the victim's death. I see no evidence for either of the case and the judge might have issued a sentimental judgment.
Enwhen: So you think SW is more powerful than NC ??
See. Ba, if not for Baba Buhari who happens to be a Fulani , NC will kill them like chicken , everybody is scared of Baba Buhari because he is their patron and he doesn't play with their welfare even with their present violent killings...let Baba Buhari leave , u will see if any of those herders will misbehave again....Southwest is reachable, if only u know what happened to the GBAGYIs because of this killer herders , the case has been swept under the carpet, which is the reason Buhari lost in Abuja , and Baba Buhari refused to appoint any Abuja indigine in his cabinet.
Even before Buhari, the Fulani herdsmen have been wreaking havoc in Jos despite being a minority. It is not about power, it how the SW responds to such issues. Slow to respond but strike decisively.
Just look at the last election in Benue, despite all the killings, APC still had 40% of the vote. Such a scenario can never happen in SW.
Enwhen: The killer herdsmen are not sleeping , it pains me alot because I know how they operate , now that Amotekun is planning to kick starts , the herders are also planning too, importing their brothers from other countries, if Amotekun arrest or kill one herder who must have killed a farmer then these guys will unleash Terror, it happens in Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Niger(Gbagyi) , Benue ....watch out and pls mark my moniker
Terror on who? You probably mistake South West for Middle Belt. You have no idea.
ThreeBlackBird: If it were a nursing father who killed his wife, would we seek the same pardon on his behalf? I think the law is clear on murder. Gender equality isn't good enough only when it suits women.
It is manslaughter and not murder. Jungle justice should not be the driver of our law.
mu2sa2: A piece of good advice to convict maryam sanda: Lodge appeal against conviction at the Court of Appeal. At the sametime, and perhaps more importantly, make a passionate appeal to the president to exercise his powers of prerogative of mercy and commute the sentence to something like 1 or 2 months on account of her being a nursing mother. Just pure sentiments. She may also pray the president for outright pardon, which entitles her to immediate release. Some people tag the court's decision "sharia judgement". Sharia makes a lot more sense to me in cases of conviction for the killing of a person: it's the family of the deceased who decide whether the convict should face the capital punishment or not. If forgiven by the family, the convict walks away. Alternatively, sharia allows the family to opt for monetary compensation and convict pays and goes free to live his life. The sharia approach would be a better option for maryam sanda, if it were to be adopted because it's utterly senseless sending her to the gallows and leaving the innocent little child she had with her deceased husband without father and mother.
It actually makes no sense. It wasn't a premeditated murder and therefore does not deserve a death sentence.
Osidazz19: Rubbish, this is a man that supposedly won an election by 300 votes among millions of votes. The idiot was saved by the supreme court, should have been removed .
Another illiterate Tanko. The worst that should have happened is a rerun and not removal.
XDaBOSS: Yoruba community need to find a way to shot dis man up for good. Ignoring him is not d solution here cuz d FOOL is only trying to please his masters (Fulanizzz) by causing disunity among Yoruba people. Some people are born slaves, n no matter their level of literacy n exposure, they'll still be slaves to even those lesser.
The man is dangerous and many Muslims have chosen to pretend he doesn't exist. He was the originator of the fake news about "Church" birth certificate even though no such document exists. When you ask them to give you an example, they run away. It is all about defending the killer bandits while hiding under religion.
