Why Bobrisky was separated from other inmates – Prison experts

Prison experts have clarified why controversial crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, was separated from other inmates at the correctional centre while denying claims of a VIP section.

Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, the Director General of the Prison Rehabilitation Mission, Bishop Kayode Williams, explained the accommodations provided for inmates based on different categories.

He said, “There are accommodations for condemned prisoners, those sentenced to death, who must not mingle with other inmates. The second accommodation is convicted inmates, who are the owners of the prison.”

Addressing Bobrisky’s situation, Williams added, “The accommodation that is provided for males, are they going to bring Idris with his transgender body /look to go and sleep in the general cell? The first thing they do is decide how to treat someone like that.

“They provided him a special place for protective custody because, with his appearance, he would be in danger. He looks like a woman, moves like a woman, and there are homosexual inmates who would be willing to take things to extreme lengths.”

Former National PRO of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Francis Enobore, corroborated Williams’ comments, explaining that the service profiles each inmate for both their safety and the general prison environment.

“Yes, he confessed in court that he is a man but he came in bodily showing that he is a woman. Some of the people behind bars are unrepentant homosexuals. There is no doubt that if care is not taken, we will have a very serious security situation on our hands,” he said.

However, Enobore refuted claims of Bobrisky being given a private section, stating, “There’s no such thing as a private apartment or anything special in the prison.”

Controversy around Bobrisky’s incarceration began earlier in the week after Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, shared a voice note in which Bobrisky allegedly claimed that following his conviction for abuse of naira notes in April, his godfather, along with the Controller General of the Nigerian Correctional Service, arranged for him to serve his six-month sentence in a private apartment.

Meanwhile, the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board announced on Thursday the suspension of two deputy controllers in charge of the Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre in lagos, in connection to Bobrisky’s alleged bribery claims.

I hope know as late as late as early 20th century, it's common practice for employers to flog their workers as part of punishment for wrongdoing. We are not so far removed from the time when physical punishment was administered and accepted by almost everyone as legitimate.
For example, physical chastisements were commonly employed as punishment for crimes committed and for the enforcing of discipline in the military even up till today. Generals flog junior officers as part of punishment in barracks. Even in NYSC camps, soldiers flog graduates as part of punishment; the more u protest the flogging, the more they wack u with koboko until u become humble. Teachers continue to flog stubborn and disobedient students in schools up till today.
In Nigeria, apprentice are flogged regularly if they displease their Masters and it's considered part of the training. Go to factories in lagos, Lebanese and Chinese boss beats their employee on regular basis for minor things as coming late to work.

Foreign countries are not exempted. In the British Navy, flogging for disobedience or insubordination was common until the mid-19th century, and caning was used until the mid-20th century. In Singapore, flogging is still an official form of punishment for certain crimes such as spitting in public.

I dont really understand this your yapping about flogging. U better thank God the privilege u have that you or your children will not go thru flogging in the hands of an employer in this modern time. People get flogged every day all in a bid to put food on the table for their families.

This your noise about a master beating his slaves in ancient times makes no sense, even workers gets flogged in this modern age.

StillDtruth already explained the verse is about God instituting labour laws to ensure abuse is curtailed and excessiveness is punished.
Besides if u beat your slaves into permanent injury, who will then work the field. Is that not a loss to the master himself.

abeg this one na no be talk, na wokeness and trying to sound politically correct they worry u. Live in the real world man.

Why did ojukwu in his deluded brains quickly sold all the oils in the neighbouring south south state,killing all indigenous dissents that went against him! So government should not protect the vulnerable states Ojukwu in his deluded and greedy brains was thinking he will use south south oil to fight the federal government ! Thinking in his deluded brain that he had advantage over the federal government! So greedy he had to corner all foods meant for civilians,babies, women,kids! For him selves and his deluded Biafran soldiers! You can imagine how greedy an Ibo man can condescend to just to grab power!

That Exodus21 is interesting. It's the chapter that gives power to slave owners on most barbaric act in slavery, which says slave masters can beat the h*ll out of their slaves as long as they dont die because they (slaves) are their properties. What is more gruesome than that. If you have refused to be logical, will you be happy if me and you are to go back into those days and I have your children as my slaves, will you be happy if I beat sh_i_t out of them because God allowed me to do so as long as I don't kill them for you? Don't be primitive in the name of religion bro.

Damn true. I remember this movie so vividly. It's my best historical Nollywood film till date. I've watched that movie many times and it almost always feel like I'm just watching it for the first time. Tells you how compelling and personal that film was.
yeah, you could tell in the story that it was a personal tale and the filmmaker tried to be painstakingly true to history and facts and research.
Top top film I really recommend especially to fellow Edos. A movie I always wished was on a bigger budget and more popularity with general audience.
I'd really love a remake of that film with a bigger push. If that movie was to come out today it would have been very big and pushed for more Benin Kingdom tales. Just sad the man wasn't that lucky.
I knew the film wasn't really successful but it's the first time I'm hearing about the filmmaker leaving the scene because of that failure.
So the man ain't into filmmaking no more??

Anyhow sha I know say e go tey before I watch Nollywood again sha. Maybe, I'll just rush and cop out Anikulapó just out of curiosity to see what kick-started all these films.
I got about 5 Nollywood projects in the last 2 years to date on my phone I haven't even watched or bothered to plan for on my phone already downloaded. But interest to actually watch am past the earlier curiosity of downloading no dey.

They should start with the judges who pronounce judgments we know isn't true.

As for Bobrisky's allegation, a man called into a program on Inspiration fm, lagos yesterday and said something similar happened to him as far back as 2014. In essence, it isn't a new practice.

aswani:


The context Baba Kékeré used it was that it was a place with a high probability that anyone could come and do very well in without necessarily needing to be an indigene unlike in lots of other places.

Obidients, bitter from their election loss as well as being ingrates for opportunities afforded them in another man's land (such as being able to go to work on Mondays for example), used it in the context of them being able to OWN lagos (or parts of) and do as they please without regard to the indigenes of the state.

But of course you knew that already.

The paradox of vehicle road-worthiness certification and bad roads in lagos


Driving a vehicle in lagos, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre, is a huge challenge. Besides the traffic congestion which is one of the city’s trademarks, the roads, especially in the suburbs, are not only bad but also governed by multiple traffic laws which are enforced religiously.

One of those laws is that all vehicles on lagos roads must be road-worthy which explains why, as a vehicle owner, particularly private vehicles, you must obtain a road-worthiness certificate which is issued by the lagos State Inspection Service (VIS) formerly called Vehicle Inspection Unit.

The state’s traffic law empowers its traffic watch dog called lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) to impound any vehicle that does not have this certification to drive on the state roads. To show how serious the state takes this law, the fine for any vehicle that flouts it is well above Nigeria’s Renewed Hope National Minimum Wage.

The idea that went into the formulation of this aspect of the state’s traffic laws was not only good and noble, but also considerate as it was meant to ensure that only vehicles in good condition are allowed to be on the road. This, it is expected, will help to minimise accidents on the roads.

However, this law did not consider the age-long legal and moral demand that “he who comes to equity must come with clean hands.” As far as the condition of roads in some parts of lagos is concerned, this time-honoured statement is just “a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

This is because the condition of some roads in the state is so terrible that they are not worthy of use by vehicles, hence the paradox of issuing road worthiness certificates for them to ply on bad roads. Many of the roads are worse than vehicles that are denied certification after a tasking inspection process and paying overly too expensive price.

“We are just at the mercy of governments in Nigeria. What I have come to do here today, I did the same thing just last week in Porto- Novo, Benin Republic where I reside. But the huge difference is that the government has ensured that many of their roads are in good condition and you don’t spend a whole day getting this certificate. It takes less than two hours,” a man who introduced himself as Godwin, told this reporter at the Oke Afo inspection centre on Thursday.

Continuing, Godwin noted, “just imagine the road leading to this centre; too bad; and you are talking about the road leading to the place where you are issued road-worthiness certificate. Again, look at the time we have spent on the queue here; three hours gone and we are not done yet.”

Another vehicle owner who was at the centre for inspection lamented that lagos government is not so mindful of the state of roads in the suburbs, noting however, that the state is doing very well in roads infrastructure at the city centre. He cited places like Ikeja, Ikoyi, Lekki and Victoria Island where, according to him, the roads are well-paved with good drainages and street light.

The man who did not disclose his name “because I am a civil servant in the state,” said that lagos residents deserve more than they are getting in terms of infrastructure provision. “There is money in this state. The state’s internally generated revenue is more than those of the five South Eastern states put together,” he said.

He noted that on this issue of road-worthiness certification for vehicles plying on bad roads, the state is not being fair to vehicle owners who are not privileged to live in the city centre, suggesting that the certification should be restricted to those of them who drive on good roads.

Perhaps, vehicle owners in lagos shouldn’t have minded as much as they do if the cost of getting a road worthiness certificate had been less than what they are currently charged, and also if the enforcement had had human face.

From less than N2,000 charged, when it was introduced, the renewal of the certificate, depending on the type of vehicle, now varies from ₦5,000 to ₦12,000. And to get the certificate after paying for it at any of the state’s revenue offices, the vehicle owner is referred to a lagos State Computerized Vehicle Inspection Service (LACVIS) centre, where the vehicle is inspected. Getting the certificate depends on the result of the inspection—passed or failed.

The enforcement of this certification is anything but fair. The LASTMA officials who are statutorily empowered to enforce the law go about it as if the life of the state depends on it. It is a case of ‘no mercy’ for any defaulter as he is quickly dragged to their offices and his vehicle tyres deflated and reflated at a cost when the owner pays and the vehicle released.

“Because of its potential to raise ‘urgent 2k’ for the enforcers, other law enforcement agents have started demanding for it from any motorist who falls short of other traffic offences. And these agencies are so many, including the police, vehicle inspection officers, federal road safety officials, among others,” Nelson Ezike, a lagos resident, noted.

Ezike further said that the worst offence any motorist should commit on lagos roads is to drive without road worthiness certificate, adding, “these traffic wardens may overlook other vehicle papers, but not this particular one. It is a cash cow; it is the hen that lays golden eggs for them; so, I try not to allow my own to expire before renewal. I don’t have time and strength for their trouble.”

KwaraRat:
The terrorist was an Ibo man who worked with the American Tobacco Company.

He was caught within the university premises with a truck load of explosives.

When interrogated on what he intended to do with the explosives , the terrorist said he wanted to blow up the school .

Asked why , he said it was over Biafra and the fact that the Ibo VC of the institution and alongside other Ibo lecturers and staff had been forced to return to Ibo land.

It's important to note that the Ibo VC was not sacked nor chased out but he had mobilised all Ibo staff of the university to see to moving to Biafra and to achieve this the VC had paid all Ibo staff 3 months salary in advance.

It's also important to note that there was no hostility between the Yorubas and the Ibos in the western region. Yorubas not only shielded Ibos from attacks from resident Hausa people but even staged a massive protest over the activities of a notorious Hausa regiment that was going about harrasing and beating Ibos in public.

But the Ibo terrorist decided to repay the Yoruba people by attempting to bomb the University of Ibadan.

After this incidence came to light coupled with the biafran bombing missions in lagos, Yoruba perception towards the Ibos changed 180.

You should know Nigerians by now. They are always seeking the next gold whilst still exploring the one in their hands. That particular niche of story seems to be the biggest pull of Netflix's money now, who themselves want a footprint here of projects grounded in our culture and rich history. The spamming would have been worthwhile if these movies had any semblance of depth.
Again, this stems from the reason i gave in the previous paragraph. Old Yoruba filmmakers used to tell these stories you crave but this was way back in the days, so low quality and an hairline budget , but they actually used to be good and historically factual, i actually enjoyed quite a few. But since Kunle Afolayan seemed to have struck gold with Aníkúlápó, all other filmmakers have been trying to replicate it by making movies along that line, sadly, all other stories around the Yoruba lore, will have to wait 😔.

Bruhh, to be totally honest, the Yorubas and Igbos practically own filmmaking here, so filmmakers from other parts of the country lack the pull to attract the kind of "modern investment" it would take, to properly tell these stories, hence less incentive for them and i am not sure the country is tribally and religiously sane enough for a Yoruba or Igbo filmmaker to tell the story of the Benin Empire, i can't even imagine the uproar if they even make the slightest mistake. The biggest filmmaker from Edo, Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, made a film about the "1897 invasion of the Benin Kingdom by the British", that was actually good but bro couldn't sell the film to a major distribution company, albeit in times without streaming platforms boom. He couldn't recoup his investment and he just left the scene.

Bruhhh, You don't want to be in a room with a Nigerian Film exec that has Netflix wallet to burn. They don't listen to anything you have to say. You present them with a story, they redo 90% of it, and tell you, if you want your name to be on Netflix, just relax and let's do it my way, if you agree, the movie comes out lacking substance and you are blamed, if you don't agree, you lose money, get blacklisted in the industry and lose international exposure because of one stubborn film exec. That's why most Film exec just go ahead, and double as director, cinematography, casting, and costume in their film!, giving rise to subpar projects but hey, it's on Netflix 😩.

Even this "House of Gàà" , a freelance filmmaker on twitter back then, decimated all that was wrong with it from the trailer alone, months before it even released and instead of take notes, industry bigwigs were calling for his head. They were wrong costumes and the actors actually using "lagos accent" for a supposed Oyo film. A little effort into research and they would have known that though, Yoruba is the common language of the South west, but each region speaks it distinctly. An Ondo speaks different from an Oyo person, even within Ondo, they are distinct differences within the same Yoruba dialect with each region. These little details matters when telling a story as grounded in culture as this. The original one before this called, "Bashòrun Ogà" was more grounded in the nuances of the subject matter than this, despite the low visual quality and it coming out some 20 years ago...

Mindlog:
My father as a young man, came back to lagos after the war empty-handed and was reabsorbed by Bata shoes where he worked before the war started... few years later, he retired from Bata shoes after being in charge of their shoes' sole production line, bought plots of land not too far from the Bata shoe factory and started his own block making factory, employed many Ghanaian workers to run a 24hrs production shift using the knowledge he gained from his British bosses in Bata shoes.

He was a subcontractor during the construction of the National Arts Theatre and Festac Town, supplying blocks, granite and gravel, later supplied blocks during Jakande's tenure, for the construction of classroom blocks he built to increase school enrolment of lagos children.

When there is the will, there is a way no matter the obstacles.
