On August 14, 2012,  in the Leninsky district court of Lugansk Ukraine, the regular hearing Olaolu Sunki Femi – Nigerian student accused of attempted murder-planned 4 people. The basis of the charges – nothing but reading “victims.” Olaolu face life imprisonment.

The meeting lasted about 40 minutes. Board considered a petition Olaolu Femi lawyers to change the measure of restraint. The request is rejected, Femi remains in prison. Immediately after the announcement of the decision, the court adjourned until September 3. That is legally innocent man in  prison conditions for another three weeks. Incidentally, it is worth adding that the hearings on the case earlier transferred because the prosecutors and the State Prosecutor six months (!) Could not find a translator from English to the defendant.

Ukrain, russia, this are just few countries to live in. For the fact that you are black not necessarily that you are a nigerian but the colour of your skin make you a rejected human being. Our people should be careful about living or studying in those places. Those places are not safe and you are not sure what tomorrow will be like. Imagin what our brother is facing thru just because he defended himself against racist ppl.

I knw ryt, I have a special love for Russia cuz I was blessed to live there for a few years and had the time of my life. My perception myt ve been diff if I were thr as a student. Truth is the students thr are nt treated in a good way. We shldnt be quick to ask 'what did u go do in a country lyk tht?' Most folks go thr in search of better education @ a cheaper rate than other ideal countries and the government of Nigeria sends lots of students to these countries on scholarship as well.
