Nice, the state government should promote tourism in their states, it's a foreign exchange earner.

Fellow patriots, comment let's take this to frontpage.

Seun mynd, mods take to frontpage.

This is from a concerned citizen, am disturbed by the number of people in jails for misdemeanor offences, it's bad for our economic prosperity, and development of our youth and people.

Lagos state governor should release all those in prison for misdemeanor offences, decongest the prisons, make them pay fines, restitution and bail. We need our human resources.

Our brain drain is alsoeas a result of locking up youths for frivolous charges, by locking up a youth, even for a year, you have tampered with his life a d future, destroying families and creating more poverty. Police and judges must make sure prisons are for violent felonious offenders, misdemeanors such as verbal assaults/threats, contract and business disputes, can be settled with agreements, undertakings, commitments, restitutions etc. This will help decongest our prisons, save government bill on maintaining prisoners and improve our human resources.

Stop destroying our human resources, stop condemning youths on misdemeanor charges and offences, by taking him to jail filled with hardened criminals, you are turning him to a hardened criminal, and congesting the jails.

A state must ensure they don't punish people indiscriminately, people should be punished or rehabilitated according to their crimes, mixing people who misstepped or merely threatened people in same jails as hardened criminals, is turning that citizen into a criminal. I recommend that only proven criminals caught in the act of robbing, or murdering someone should be placed in same cells, and those convicted should be in separate correctional centers/facilities from those awaiting trial. It is detrimental to general safety of society and we are destroying the future of a citizen by dumping them in same prison blocks and facilities with proven killers and armed robbers. A lot of human resources are in prison and our nation need development.

Police should focus on going after serious criminals, like armed robbers, terrorists and people who actually committed crimes, rather than arresting and locking people up through petitions they receive on "verbal threat/assault" 'libel' "defamation of character" and such misdemeanors.

Nigerian prisons are over congested, and a lot of youths with potential get their lives derailed after being locked up for frivolous charges and reports/petitions from people who hate or dislike them or in disagreement with them, Nigeria police should keep the prison for the criminals who actually commit crime and have been convicted, except for cases of armed robbery, violent crimes, terrorism, bail should be given. Nigeria police should stop locking people up because people petitioned that "they were threatened" or making frivolous claims without an actual harm being done. We have freedom of speech in Nigeria, we should use tax payers money to chase real criminals and lock up real criminals.

Judges must stop sentencing people to prison based on cases on "threats to life" "verbal assault" etc, these cases most times are circumstancial, came about as a result of underlying situations (most times the complainant has provoked the accused, or is owing the accused, this led to the verbal assault or threat. The police should rather issue fines to misdemeanor offenders, make them write undertakings, make them go to rehabilitation, rather than sending them to prison. It's a shame most of the people in our prisons are awaiting trial but should rather issue stern warning to the defendant. Nigerian judges must use good judgement, and know the difference between circumstancial conditions around a crime an offence, and should put this in consideration when delivering judgement. Sending youths and citizens to jail on frivolous claims and petitions by people who disagree with them is quite unreasonable, prisons should e for violent people, people who committed felonious offences. In Nigeria people are cursed and threatened everyday, locking people up because of charges of threats or verbal assault is frivolous and our courts should leave the matters for the police and parties to solve, an undertaking from the accused should be okay to solve this problem.

Our correctional facilities need: Sports recreational facilities, training centres(teach them to build furniture, to be tailors, to be chefs, and actually use the sane ones to work in the prison facilities, we should stop condemning our youths because they committed mild crimes like cyber crimes, crimes of threatening people and other crimes that doesn't directly harm others(non felony offences)

Seun, mynd, lastatica, mods move to frontpage. Many are languishing in prison for nothing.

Ajagunakin:


God bless you for being objective and speaking the truth.

Yoruba owe you nothing. Cry babies. Who are the unity beggars now

Na the big mouth and criminal behavior, always claim sharp but cry like babies when dem pay una back.

Let's rehabilitate not turn citizens to monsters, in Nigeria instead of correcting offenders to be better members of the society, we are condemning them. Offenders who didn't carry out violent crimes,. economic sabotage or public sector stealing and embezzlement should not be sentenced to prison but rather forced to pay restitution and rehabilitated. Let's stop destroying our human resources.

Decongest our prisons and leave space for dangerous criminals who actually have been proven to commit serious felony, other crimes like threats, dafamation of character, libel, as long as not threats to national security or inciting chaos in the nation or society, offenders of such crimes should be kept in rehabilitation centers, where they get councellors to talk to them and correct the bad character, not condemning them in dingy prisons and destroying a national asset, human resource. Build rehabilitation centers for soft offenders, to train and counsel them to becoming better, not throwing them in prison.

A mega city can not have dingy, smelly prisons, with no space for prisoners to proper rehabilitate (write a book, learn a skill, do excercise, and have access to councellors. Let's stop breeding monsters with our prisons, let's correct properly, it's called correctional facility. Sanitiser the prisons, make it humane, feed them well, engage them, give them jobs there. Time and human resources need not be wasted. In America prisoners are actively engaged.

Please let's move to front page, we need reforms in our justice system and how people are punished for crimes, it should be proportionate. Stop keeping hardened killers in same jails with people with no criminal record, who are in jail for non serious offences, stop jailing people for simple offences. Decongest our jails. Jails are for armed robbers, kidnappers, terrorists and public service looters.

State government must understand that having a proper correctional center is important in improving the state, and encouraging overall security and wellbeing. This is the carrot and stick approach.

Our brain drain is tied to this indiscriminate acts of locking up our youths for no real reason, why not use the intelligence of that youth positively, for instance a lot of criminal hackers, were turned to government hackers in America, and used to track criminal hackers. Let's think progressively, and stop condemning our youths for non felony offences (offences that don't hurt the life of others and does not constitute public threats)

Na okoro wey dey deceive himself and his gullible obidients

These our heads are different.

Dumb ipob slave of Kanu the gay swindler clown, from radio presenter to Messiah

Obi is a mediocre always playing on the minds and intelligence of his ipob zombie followers.
Appealing prison situation in Nigeria 😱
https://www.nairaland.com/7723775/police-locking-up-people-misdemeanor

LP supported currency scarcity because they taught it will help Obi win. What a selfish, myopic set of bitter souls. LP don't mind Nigeria to be destroyed and thrown into civil unrest, as long as their lying, lazy, mediocre thief Obi become president. LP can never rule Nigeria, their mind is so shallow and vindictive.

Vehicles that will last twenty years, servicing the state, these greedy people covet it and make states spend billions buying cars every four years for new governors. Shameless man. Human rights organizations and government accountability organisations should have people in every state and write petitions against all state governors at the end of every tenure, the impunity and greed of state governors is worse than corruption in federal, and the effects of state stealing is worse felt, they plunge hundreds of millions into poverty.

SmartyPants:





What is all this gibberish?

You wanted information on which Court ordered his release. I've given you that. What you do with the information is of no concern to me.

He has cases to answer with the supreme court, that is the highest court, or you don't know that?

How many Ohaneze do we have?

Social groups should not turn themselves to political groups and promoters of disunity.

daveP:
John saw a great multitude of all races and tongues Revelations, singing a song in unison. God willing, most will make the great escape. I pray we all do.

Grace alone can't take you to heaven, the bible clearly says righteousness is the criteria. In Nigeria we practice divisive religion, we don't even tolerate others of other faiths, the last election clearly shows. A righteous man will never hate anyone because be is not a member of their religion, in Nigeria, w practice religion like it's a cult. Love only your members, the rest are not tolerated.

Omoawoke:


Lol, flont page

priceactionx:

i said it earlier he would be arrested. You cant escape in such a highly techincal environment.
Lets leave the tribal aspect of it, but my instint tells me before where the curprit may likely come from, all those brain boxes, side mirrors, interior assests land in ladipo. so no need to go further.

Ladipo encourages criminality, moat dealers there sell stolen goods.

Very useless thief.

These Nigerian hypocrites christians who hate Tinubu because he is Muslim, hate all Muslims and those not members of their denomination, none will see heaven

God be praised. God bless those rescuers for not giving up on their search.

Keep your hypocritical religion to yourself, or go live in core north where you have sharia law. Islam is the cause of 60% of conflicts around the world. 80% of terrorists and terrorists organisation are Muslims, you zombies don't see this. What's the benefit of Islam to Nigeria, mention a real benefit, don't talk nonsense depravity because marrying kids, and becoming a terrorist and fighting for Allah by killing others is the highest depravity.

KingsCity:
I agree with Labour Party here

Emeifele deserves to be arrested. Yakubu committed no offence.
