A Senior Magistrates’ Court in Abuja has sentenced an 18-year-old student, Christopher Daniel, to 90 days in prison for house breaking and theft. The Senior Magistrate, Mr Zubairu Mohammed, on Thursday sentenced Daniel to 60 days in prison for house breaking and another 30 days for theft. “The convict is hereby sentenced to 60 days in prison for the offence of house breaking with an option of one thousand naira fine. “Daniel is also sentenced to 30 days in prison for the offence of theft and an option of one thousand naira fine,” he said while passing the sentence. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Daniel of Sabon Wuse, Niger State, had earlier pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of house breaking and theft. The magistrate cautioned him to desist from such act in future, adding that the punishment was to serve as a deterrent to others. “I put into consideration the plea of the convict; he admitted committing the offence and did not waste the time of the court.” The Police pr...

This past Wednesday, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan elevated crassness and primitiveness to the highest level imaginable by signing into law a bill banning homosexuality in Nigeria.  I deliberately crafted the previous sentence so unambiguously.  He did not just ban homosexual marriage; he banned homosexuality as a whole!  Perhaps if the law had only stopped at "persons who enter into a same-sex marriage contract or civil union commit an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years in prison," one might not feel so much outrage.  But it went on to state that "any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organizations or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years in prison"!  In essence, only heterosexuals are allowed to hold hands in public, sit on each other’s lap, hump each other while danci...

There is confusion and chaos in the commercial city of Onitsha, Anambra State, where some youths have gone on the rampage in reaction to the alleged killing of a traffic personnel by occupants of an articulated vehicle. The part of Onitsha affected by this violence is the Upper Iweka – Headbridge axis.

Gusau, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), gave the advice at a news conference in Sokoto on Tuesday.

The former minister stressed that “God in His mercy decided to make Nigeria what it is today and there is no way anybody can change history. “We are Nigerians; we have experienced a transition of more than 15 years under democracy. “It is about time to grow up and set our sentiments aside.
