Nigerian oldest prisoner finally released. (Photo)

Oldest prisoner in Nigeria, Celestine Egbonuche, has been freed from Enugu Maximum Prison.
Pa Celestine, who is said to be over a hundred years old, has been imprisoned for about 19 years, Igbere TV reports.

Igbere TV learnt that he was released on Thursday to his only surviving daughter, Chisom Celestine, through a non-governmental organisation, Global Society for Anti-corruption (GSAC).

Celestine, a native of Amachara-Owerre, Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul, and another relation, now 87.

Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, last week granted him state pardon following campaigns championed by GSAC.

Immediately after his release, Celestine was taken to St. Daniel’s Hospital in Enugu where he was examined to ensure that he was fit before going home.

Regional Director, GSAC, Amaka Nweke, said: “Actually on the 5th of September, we petitioned the president of our dear country and past Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha pleading for pardon for Pa Celestine

.
“His pardon was granted based on his age and his health condition because we found out that his health condition was worsening every day. As a centenarian, he is not supposed to be in prison. When you check other countries you can’t find someone of his age in prison.

“On Sunday, I got a call from the former Attorney General of Imo state that he has been granted pardon by the state government.”

The centenarian’s daughter also called for the release of her brother, Paul, saying that he was innocent of the crime.

Why there is always Accident in third Mainland bridge (photo)

Third Mainland Bridge –  otherwise known as Ibrahim Babangida Boulevard  –  is the longest of the three bridges connecting Lagos Island to the mainland, the others are the Eko and Carter bridges.

The bridge has a total length of 11.8 km.

The Third Mainland bridge has gained notoriety as a venue for frequent automobile accidents – of which many leads to fatality.

A day hardly goes by without a record of an incidence of an automobile crash.

Many concerned Lagosians now wonder: can’t these accidents be averted?

Interestingly, the reason for the frequent accident on Third Mainland Bridge is obvious – Over-speeding.

The recommended maximum speed limit on the Third Mainland bridge is 70km/h for cars and 60km/h for buses.

If one is driving at 70km/h, one can manage the wheels, but not at 100km/h or more.

When driving at a high speed, it is more difficult to react on time, and it is harder to control your vehicle in the potential event of an accident.

It is for this reason that vehicles sometimes summersault on the bridge and/or plunge into the waters.

Sadly, the legally allowed speed limit appears to be the starting speed for many motorists plying that bridge.

Driving within the stipulated speed limit is the most effective way to avoid car crashes.

Tragically, there is absolutely no enforcement of the speed limit on the Third Mainland Bridge.

Miss Anambra Sex Video

Miss Anambra Sex Video: Medical Doctor Blasts Nigerians,Explains Their Hypocrisy

UK based Nigerian medical doctor and humanist Ijabla Raymond, is really angry with Nigerians over their reactions to the recent leaked sextape of Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke’s sextape. Read the eye-opening write up… one of those moments I feel ashamed to be a Nigerian. I don’t understand why there is so much hysteria about the leaked sex video of a private citizen. In my opinion, this should not make the news. There are far too many sanctimonious and judgmental people who take it upon themselves to be morality police in this country. They pontificate on how sinful sex is yet they seek out the leaked sex video and all forms of porn on the internet. The morality police turn a blind eye when prepubescent girls are given out in marriage to men old enough to be their grandfathers but as soon as consenting adults engage in premarital or gay sex they start twitching. How is it anybody’s business what two or more consenting adults choose to do with their bodies if they are not hurting a third party or forcing you to have sex with them? Do you want something really worthwhile to talk about? Do you want to talk about something that every decent person should be angry about? I will give you it. Only this month, the Emir of Katsina reportedly married a fourteen-year-old girl, assaulting her dignity and innocence in the process but our society hardly took notice. Child-bride marriage is so common in northern Nigeria that it is considered a normal way of life. This is a matter that has serious consequences for the lives of young people. It should concern every citizen because it destroys the lives of our children. It stops girls from going to school to get an education, which in turn affects their prospects of getting good jobs and becoming financially independent later in life. These girls are more likely to develop abnormal connections between their vagina, bladder, and rectum during childbirth, which then causes them to become incontinent of feces and urine. The resultant malodor very often leads to isolation and social ostracism or even divorce by their husbands who simply marry the next child-bride. It is a lot of psychological trauma for anybody to deal with let alone a teenage mother. These young mothers end up begging on the streets when their elderly husbands divorce them. Sadly, their children are left to the mercies of hostile step-mothers and may end up as street beggars just like their unfortunate mothers. The evidence shows that children born to educated mothers have better outcomes than those born to teenage mothers with no education or job. When you educate a woman you empower the whole family and by extension the society. Look around, and you will notice that the most progressive and affluent societies in the world are the ones that have educated and empowered their women. It seems to me that the Nigerian society is confused and has its priorities the wrong way round. Why are we angry when adults (married or not, gay or straight) engage in consensual sex but turn a blind eye when children are raped by adults in the name of tradition? As a secular humanist, I do not look to any religious book or gods for morals. I apply reason, common sense, judgment, and empathy in decision-making. If two or more adults engage in consensual sex and this does not harm anybody then it is none of my business. Period! I think our self-righteousness and propensity to be judgemental come from religion. Islam and Christianity condemn homosexuality and consensual sex between unmarried adults but are silent on the matter of pedophilia. Catholic priests have gained an ugly notoriety for sexually molesting young boys all over the world. The prophet of Islam married a prepubescent girl when he was in his fifties and many Muslims cannot be persuaded to abandon this practice. Despite unparalleled religiosity, our society is one of the most decadent in the world – we are almost always near the top of the list of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many Nigerian children endure years of sexual abuse by close relatives such as uncles, aunties, cousins, house-boys, house-girls or family friends. To think some of these perverts are now sitting in judgment over Miss Anambra and her friend is nauseating and outrightly hypocritical. http://www.newseveryhour.com/2016/10/miss-anambra-sex-video-medical-doctor.html 11 Likes 4 Shares
