Wrong! There is definitely a law. The problem is that most Nigerians do not respect the law nor carry out their civic responsibilities to ensure the Law is upheld in every corner and arm of Government. The average Nigerian assumes that democracy is a magical system of government that maintains itself without any input from the people who are meant to be the government in that case. (Democracy is Government of the People by the People.) lipsrsealed

What a load of crap, right?. undecided
Thanks for the free lecture. I now know better.

By the way,are you a Lawyer? You have really impressed me!

Did you know it is not against the Law to be a terrorist sympathizer? So I am not sure why you think calling someone that is a crime of some sort. Rather, the Law says that a person has to in fact commit a crime, be charged and convicted for it before he/she can be considered by law, a criminal.

P.S. It is your constitution since I don't live in Nigeria, Eeejit!

And as usual you stupidly and senselessly assumed that I live in Nigeria?
Like I said terrorists and their enablers like you are always the first to run and grab the constitution of a country you claim not to believe in. A country it suits you to label a zoo when you are free but immediately you are apprehended and thrown into the prison cells where you belong you remember the constitution of a country you are opposed to and do not believe in.

As far as I am concerned the only good terrorist is a dead one,while their enablers like this silly student in the original post belong in prison!

Most students in Nigeria focus on their studies to get good grades and graduate on time and once graduated, they can participate in activism if they want.

He is likely a radicalized IPOB member plus Nigeria is a very poor country, kids are sent to school to graduate, and help out in little ways they can in the family and not become meddlesome interlopers in cases not concerning them.

This a typical example of the failed Nigeria we talk about. The constitution of Nigeria is that nobody should be held no more than 3 days without charging them to court

A student is held for 3 years without charge by the very authorities that should uphold the law

But this one is more interested "what if", and not the law

Tell this to all the dead Ibo victims of Nnamdi Kanu and his demented IPOB followers. I hope you know every Monday week is hamburger hill day in eastern Nigeria where any innocent person that ventures out of their homes are brutally murdered by hordes of IPOB gangsters and criminals under the control of Kanu.
It is easy to quote Law and constitution for the living lunatics but the dead cannot quote any constitution or law.....

I doubt you are not a Lawyer because you're exhibiting extra trait of a Lawyer.

But I want to disagree with you that we are in democratic society where the law is upheld. I don't think so because many things are done ultra vires without resort to the law. Examples abound.

Honestly, I prefer military rule to this Democracy which has destabilized our moral and financial institutions. Under the military, no Bokoharam insurgency. No IDP camps. No herders -farmers clash. There was calm in the polity.

So, how do you justify democracy under this straining condition?

To hell with democracy!

That is why the Constitution states it is an illegal detention.
Section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Every person shall be entitled to his personal liberty and no person shall be deprived of such liberty save in the following cases and in accordance with a procedure permitted by law -
▶ in execution of the sentence or order of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty;
▶ by reason of his failure to comply with the order of a court or in order to secure the fulfilment of any obligation imposed upon him by law;
▶ for the purpose of bringing him before a court in execution of the order of a court or upon reasonable suspicion of his having committed a criminal offence, or to such extent as may be reasonably necessary to prevent his committing a criminal offence;
▶ in the case of a person who has not attained the age of eighteen years for the purpose of his education or welfare;
▶ in the case of persons suffering from infectious or contagious disease, persons of unsound mind, persons addicted to drugs or alcohol or vagrants, for the purpose of their care or treatment or the protection of the community; or
▶ for the purpose of preventing the unlawful entry of any person into Nigeria or of effecting the expulsion, extradition or other lawful removal from Nigeria of any person or the taking of proceedings relating thereto:
Provided that a person who is charged with an offence and who has been detained in lawful custody awaiting trial shall not continue to be kept in such detention for a period longer than the maximum period of imprisonment prescribed for the offence.
Any person who is arrested or detained shall have the right to remain silent or avoid answering any question until after consultation with a legal practitioner or any other person of his own choice.
Any person who is arrested or detained shall be informed in writing within twenty-four hours (and in a language that he understands) of the facts and grounds for his arrest or detention.
Any person who is arrested or detained in accordance with subsection (1) (c) of this section shall be brought before a court of law within a reasonable time, and if he is not tried within a period of -
▶ two months from the date of his arrest or detention in the case of a person who is in custody or is not entitled to bail; or
▶ three months from the date of his arrest or detention in the case of a person who has been released on bail, he shall (without prejudice to any further proceedings that may be brought against him) be released either unconditionally or upon such conditions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that he appears for trial at a later date.
In subsection (4) of this section, the expression "a reasonable time" means -
▶ in the case of an arrest or detention in any place where there is a court of competent jurisdiction within a radius of forty kilometres, a period of one day; and
▶ in any other case, a period of two days or such longer period as in the circumstances may be considered by the court to be reasonable.
Any person who is unlawfully arrested or detained shall be entitled to compensation and public apology from the appropriate authority or person; and in this subsection, "the appropriate authority or person" means an authority or person specified by law.
Nothing in this section shall be construed -
▶ in relation to subsection (4) of this section, as applying in the case of a person arrested or detained upon reasonable suspicion of having committed a capital offence; and
▶ as invalidating any law by reason only that it authorises the detention for a period not exceeding three months of a member of the armed forces of the federation or a member of the Nigeria Police Force in execution of a sentence imposed by an officer of the armed forces of the Federation or of the Nigeria police force, in respect of an offence punishable by such detention of which he has been found guilty.

Mechie onu there, internet chest beater, tell me which court proceeding you attended as a student? Ilwas that the reason why your parent sent you to school?
If any of my sons try that, I will abandon him in Jail.

What did he expect supporting a proscribed terrorist organization.

Huh? I lived through a good portion of the military era in Nigeria myself and I am shocked anyone would make such claims as the one's you are making here! Are you here trying to convince me that having the Military terrorize Nigerians right in their very homes in many cases is better than having Boko Haram and IDP camps in only some parts of the country? Did you by any chance witness the joyous outcries when news came down that Abacha was dead? Do you know why people shouted out for joy? undecided

As I had said before, Democracy is government by the People for the people. What is still missing from the Nigerian democracy is Government by the people. The average Nigerian is not only oblivious to his rights as an individual but also ignorant of his civic duties/responsibilities as well. Look at the Kenyan kids for instance and see how very different those kids are in the way they reason with their government and the way the average Nigerian does.. undecided

Even a terrorist should have his day in court, convict me and jail him, arbitrary detention of a terrorist 'sympathiser' in a democratic setting is illegal. Its easy to cast aspersions when you are not the victim.

Perhaps those responsible for maintaining the law are scared of lack of sufficient evidence to prosecute and feel its better to detain suspects in dungeons cheesy

Yes. I witnessed all you are saying.

What is the essence of freedom when that freedom cannot be guaranteed? You could be hacked down under such freedom atmosphere.

Is it not better we have regulated freedom than absolute freedom where rights and privileges are trampled upon?

The Chinese are progressing because of regulated freedom. Not absolute. Nigeria with absolute freedom, where are we in terms of development index?

We have found ourselves in hosbean state because of western democracy that doesn't suit our circumstances.

Nigeria is not ripe for democracy.

So why has Nnamdi Kanu refused to face his terrorist charges in court but has chosen to engage in all kinds of legalese and legal gymnastics while surreptitiously sending Abaribe and the Eastern governors to PLEAD for settlement with the Federal government?

Like I said earlier, the poor victims of Nnamdi Kanu and his demented IPOB followers have no chance of appealing to the law and the constitution from the grave.....

God will certainly fight for the oppressed, unless there is no God again.

God fights for the oppressed...only if the oppressed is ready to fight the physical battle, while the spiritual battle is handled from heaven.

As man is a dual being: spirit & flesh, his victory on earth must have physical and spiritual exertions.

Meaning:- man must produce weapons and train to be a warrior , and still invoke God's name, if he wants to conquer on this earth.

Christianity doesn't mean you leave everything to God; it simply means you cooperate with God to overcome the physical and spiritual sides of evil.

Even in the best democracies on the planet, no one can tell you that freedom is guaranteed. Nothing in this life comes with such a guarantee. So should we pack it up on democracy cause of that? undecided

2. Folks conveniently forget that the same China did not simply land where it is today after just a short history. It took China almost 1000 years to get to where it is today with its style of governance. Look up their history. These people were in bondage and without progress for more than 1000 years before what you see today. Should Nigeria equally take a gamble on the same? Maybe 500 years of military rule with hopes that after that we will finally see progress? Is that what you feel we need? undecided
