For God sake this isa how our nigerian prisons are for mere thieves and those who are not even guilty or awaiting. trials*
While those who steal and loot the country wealth are busy buying cars, and living in luxurious houses how do ex convict get reformed?
With this kind of condition how will crime be reduced*
Are the federal government doing enough for the prisoners too bad God help us

Prison congestion: CJN asks magistrates to liberalise bail conditions

ABUJA — Worried by the rising figures of awaiting trial inmates in various prison facilities across the federation, Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has asked magistrates to stop imposing stringent bail conditions on accused persons involved in minor offences.

Time for sports for the inmates
The CJN, who gave the directive when the national executives of the Magistrates Association of Nigeria, led by its acting National President, Chief Magistrate Victoria Isiguzo, paid him and 15 other Justices of the Supreme Court a courtesy visit during the weekend, said some magistrates were to be blamed for the level of congestion in the prisons.
He said it was regrettable that minor offenders are sometimes ordered to meet harsh and untenable bail terms, even as he stressed that the essence of bail is not to punish an accused person but to secure his attendance to appear in court for trial.
Besides, the CJN noted that a large number of persons are detained without charge while others are detained pending further investigation.
He further decried that people are sometimes detained on the basis of a First Information Report, FIR, which he said upon examination, may operate as holding charge while the prosecutor seeks more evidence to back up his trial.
Mahmud described the practice as unjust, noting that in most of the cases, suspects who are yet to be declared guilty by a competent court, often find themselves incarcerated.
He, therefore, called on magistrates to stop indulging the police by admitting to bail a suspect whose case the police are not ready to prosecute.
According to the CJN, “a corollary to this is the imposition of such bail terms which an accused has no real hope of meeting. I wish to use this medium to counsel magistrates to judiciously and carefully exercise their discretion to remand and consider alternatives to detention where possible, and to set reasonable bail terms as appropriate.”

P RESIDENTS AWAIT JUDGEMENT ON SENATORIAL FLAG-BEARER''

As Enugu State residents await Court judgement today, anxiety has continued to increase over who would fly Peoples Democratic Party’s flag for the April 11 governorship election in the state.

Senate Ayogu Eze filed the case challenging the recognition of Ifeanyi Ugwanyi as the candidate of the ruling party.

Eze had filed the suit before the court, saying he was the rightful candidate, while Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who is currently enjoying the support of the national leadership of the party had applied to be joined as an interested party in the matter.

The duo are laying claims to the governorship ticket of the PDP in Enugu State, having emerged from two parallel primary elections that held in the state.

Both the plaintiff who argued through his lawyer Mr. Yusuf Ali, SAN, and Ugwuanyi who was represented by his lawyer, Mr. Patrick Ikwueto, SAN, insisted before the court that the primary elections that produced them were duly monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Ok, that's the matter on ground!!!!

How do you see this playing out?

Meanwhile, who do the people of Enugu want though

''NIGERIANS MARCH FOR OUR TROOPS AS THOUSANDS PROTEST BOKO HARAM''

The Chief of Defence Staff Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh says the troops and the arm forces will not relent in its current fight against insurgents and the ongoing operation in the North-East until forces of darkness are decimated.

Air Chief Marshal Badeh made the disclosure in Abuja when he received members of the Support Our Troop Foundation, a non-governmental organisation on a solidarity march to show their support for the recent successes recorded by troops.

Speaking on behalf of Air Chief Marshal Badeh, the Director Defence Information Major General Chris Olukolade re-echoed the CDS commitment and slogan by soldiers during the visit of presidents Jonathan’s visit to Baga and Mubi saying ‘‘Never again will terrorist occupy any part of the country’s sovereignty’’.

In her remarks, the founder of the Support Our Troop Foundation group Funmi Obuae, also called on all Nigerians irrespective of their political affiliation and differences to support the Nigerian troops to win the fight against insurgency.

Dignitaries present at the march include minister of culture and tourism and supervising minister of Information, Chief Edem Dueke, top government officials from the military and other well meaning Nigerians.

OK, that's the story.

Let's hope we will continue to support the troops....they do need it!

The people of the Northern part of Nigeria as a whole have a very rich cultural heritage which is evidenced in their languages, dressing, music and dance, and most especially, in the culinary aspect. The list of great dishes from this interesting part of Nigeria is almost unending, each food being special in its own way; spanning through meals, soups, snacks, drinks, etc.
Due to space restrictions, only few famous and notable ones will be listed here; on how to prepare them, you’d have to meet a local – or use a search engine.

Tuwon Shinkafa: this is the most popular northern Nigerian food as it is eaten everywhere and it is the most well-known outside the North. It is basically thick and solid rice pudding. It looks like the common swallow-foods of Nigeria, except that Northerners don’t swallow food without chewing. Tuwo Shinkafa is mostly eaten with the popular ‘Miyan Kuka’. ‘Tuwo’ is a generic name for solid/swallow foods in Hausa, and ‘Shinkafa’ means rice. There are other different ‘Tuwos’.

Tuwon Dawa: this is ground guinea-corn made thick and solid (swallow), and also eaten with soups like Kuka and okra. This meal is special as it is majorly cooked with firewood to get the best out of it. It will probably not get well-cooked on kerosene or gas stove, except in small quantity.

Tuwon Masara: this is the generic Tuwo’s corn-flour version, and can be taken with any good soup. Looks so much like ‘Semolina’.

Tuwon Acha: prepared from ground ‘acha’ grains, and made into swallow.

Brabusco: this is a traditionally made couscous, common to Northern Nigeria, especially in Maiduguri. It goes well with spicy stew of meat and vegetables.

Pate: ‘Pate’ is generally used to classify porridge in Northern Nigeria. Pate is commonly made with ground corn or rice, cooked with vegetables, tomatoes, onions, pepper, garden egg, locust beans, groundnut, biscuit bone, meats minces and sometimes, assorted meat parts. It is common among Kaduna, Nassarawa, Plateau and other Northwestern states. Other Pate meals common to other Northern parts are Pate n'Doya (yam porridge), Pate n’Wake (Beans Porridge), and etcetera.

Now to the soups;
Miyan Kuka: this is arguably the most famous northern Nigerian soup. It can also be called ‘Baobab Leaf Soup’. ‘Miyan’ generally means soup in Hausa, and ‘Kuka’ means ‘Baobab’. The green draw-soup is made from ground baobab leaf and special spices, preferably ‘yaji’ (a mixture of ground pepper, ginger, garlic and other seasonings/herbs). Tomatoes are not added to this soup, and not too many ingredients are used.

Miyan Yakuwa: Yakuwa is a kind of leafy vegetable that has sour taste. It can be cooked with either palm oil or groundnut oil, and can be garnished with meat, smoked fish, etc. Potash is added to the soup to reduce the sour taste.

Miyan Zogale: This is basically Moringa (Ollifera) soup, heavily spiced and garnished with extras to give it a great taste. Moringa is ‘Zogale’ in Hausa language.

Ezowa: Traditional soup of the Nupe people of Northern Nigeria, especially in Niger State, made from ground beans, pepper and other seasoning. Looks like the ‘Gbegiri’ soup of the Southwestern Nigeria.

The list will be incomplete without the famous snacks like;
Kuli-Kuli: this is one famous Nigerian snack that has its origin indigenous to the Northern Nigeria. It’s eaten by all tribes and can be found everywhere in Nigeria. It can simply be snacked on alone or enjoyed as supplement to semi-liquid foods like garri and akamu.

Kuli-kuli is made from ground peanut and seasoning, hardened and given a shape, mostly long, round and thin.

Masa: made from soaked and ground rice, prepared with clay forms with heat source from beneath. It is traditionally served with ‘miyan taushe’ or ‘yaji’ (Suya Pepper). Sugar and salt are added to Masa in its paste form to enhance taste, and yeast is also added, among other ingredients. Its flat variety is called ‘Sinasir’.

Suya: this is the famous thin barbeque meat you find on almost all streets in Nigeria. Its origin is the North, and it’s a business you see majorly northerners doing in those parts you find a Suya spot.

Kilishi: when you are travelling down from the north, everybody expects you to buy the delicious Kilishi. This is simply meat made into paste and heavily seasoned to taste, before dried. It’s usually brushed on both sides.
One notorious drinkable that makes the list is:

Fura De’Nunu: this is the first drinkable meal that comes to mind at the thought of Northern Nigerian delicacies. It is basically cow milk mixed with cooked and ground millet or sorghum. It is highly nutritious and can be taken alone as a whole meal.

Each tribe has its own special meal or soup, and most of the ‘specials’ in Northern Nigeria are named after the tribe such food is indigenous to. For example;
Margi Special: “Margi Special is a special delicacy indigenous to us here in Adamawa State. It is basically fish with vegetables. It is mostly cooked at night; the whole night is spent cooking it”, Madam Rabiyatu S. Haruna, the founder of Vajili Restaurant, Yola, said when asked about special indigenous delicacies. The reason for this is still an issue of speculation, and maybe that makes it ‘special’.

Kilba Special (Vulapaupau): this is an exotic draw soup exclusively indigenous to the Kilba people of the North. It is made with okra, ground peanut or groundnut, garden eggs, etc.

Many different rich varieties of delicacies can be found among the people of Northern Nigeria; this list does not even reflect half of the culinary riches these people are endowed with.

On your next trip to the north, ensure you have a ‘foods to try’ list handy so you can have a more fulfilling and delicious experience.
I know you might have tried some in likes of
Suya
Kilishi
Nunu etc

Don't try this at home you can't quence electricity fire with ordinary water please#call the fire service for that

PapiWata:
Yahx, I have no doubt that you went through that harrowing experience of running for your life into unknown places, and having to carry your own drinking water.

Maybe because there are a couple of people smiling in the above pictures, some of Nairaland's armchair detectives doubt your account, but I for one am convinced that you are telling the truth and have no reason to cook up a story like this.

Congratulations on a successful dialog with your running feet. In your shoes, I would have been repeating that timeless phrase every few hundred yards during my timely escape - "Feet, don't fail me now !"

You made a very good decision to flee because the terrorists kill anyone they can capture for fun and sport. Folks in Lagos simply have no idea what a real war is like for civilians.

Keep your running shoes nearby, Bro, and soon as you can, catch a flight to the safe south of Nigeria. You'll be glad you did when you read about the virgin hunters returning again and again.

came back from the east week bck but no virgin hunters their lol#closer to aso rock now am safe no east no west no north 1nigeria. All we need
