Rauf Aregbesola, Nigeria's Minister of Interior |
Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola
yesterday requested governors to sign the death warrants of convicts on death
row who have exhausted all avenues of appeal to free up space in the nation’s
correctional facilities, ThisDay reports.
The minister who made the plea while
speaking in Osogbo, Osun state, when inaugurating the newly constructed
headquarters of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), Daily
Trust reported, said the nation’s correctional facilities are being
stretched by “an overpopulation capacity of 18 percent” — with facilities built
to serve 57,278 inmates currently holding 68,747 inmates, urging that to remedy
the decongestion, convicts on death row who have used up all means of appeal
must be hastened to the gallow.
According to Aregbesola, while the governors could free some condemned convicts on compassionate grounds due to old age or illness other inmates that have demonstrated exceptionally good behaviour could also be released or have their sentences commuted to life or specific terms in jail.

CAP-HAÏTIEN, Haiti — The coffin of Haiti’s assassinated president, Jovenel Moïse, was carried by men in military uniform to a central stage and covered with a Haitian flag Friday as onlookers tucked in bouquets of white flowers before a state funeral, a moment that many hoped would help mend a fractured nation.
Just hours earlier, the northern city of Cap-Haïtien — 30 minutes from his family homestead where the ceremony will be held — had burned with anger and frustration, exposing Haiti’s deep divisions and the distrust of the elite in the country’s less developed north.
Two weeks after Moïse was killed in his own bedroom outside the capital, Port-au-Prince, the country is still spinning with unanswered questions and seething with anger. Authorities say he was killed by a group of Colombian mercenaries, and several members of Moïse’s own security detail have been questioned and taken into custody as well.

To my fellow plus size sisters who desire to drop a few dress sizes, I'm pleased to inform you that I have completed one full week in the gym. Hope this week would encourage you to start your journey also. Mehn!! didn't think I would make it. I'm told if I complete 2 straight weeks, it becomes a habit. I doubt it but let's see how that goes. For now, my body is sore and I need sleep!

The sociology of death and funerals is an important aspect of the African cosmogony. Parents pray that their children should outlive them in order to give them a befitting burial. They liken this to the same manner when fire dies out in the hearth, it is replaced by ashes, and when a banana tree withers, a sapling sprouts in its place. When Africans die, it is believed that they have merely travelled to another realm, and become ancestors, and hence, a funeral ceremony is a send-forth event. The death of a young person however, is considered a tragedy. This is why such obituaries are prefaced with the solemn declaration that “The wicked have done their worst”, “We love you but the Lord loves you more” or “A Painful Exit.” The tone of the elegy at a funeral is thus a function of the circumstances of the death, or the religious inclination of the family as in “With Total Submission to the Will of God…”, “Inna Lillahi wa inna Ilayhi Raji’un”. Age is indeed a factor. If the dead lived up to an old, ripe age, you are likely to see such announcements as “A Glorious Exit”, “With Gratitude for a Life Well Spent” or “Ä Celebration of Life”.
Among the Yoruba of the South West, the death of an old man or woman is described as “oku eba”, that is – a transition that is worth celebrating, with generous dollops of cassava paste. Other groups in the country also have varying patterns of burying their dead. Among Muslims generally, the burial of the dead is carried out swiftly in line with Islamic injunctions. The simplicity of Muslim burials, the solemnity and dignity of it, is incomparable to anything else I have seen, even if Muslims in the South West of Nigeria, still find an excuse to throw lavish parties that have more to do with the culture of the people, rather than the religion. One dictionary describes the Yoruba as the “fun-loving people of the South West Nigeria.” But in general, the manner of burials, the scope of the rites, the scale and tone, is a reflection of cultural norms and dominant values, at both community and individual levels across Nigeria. What is noteworthy is how the loss of a beloved family member could suddenly end up as a celebration, and the explanation for that is as complicated and diverse as the Nigerian society itself.
In this regard, something happened last week, in Oba, Anambra State, Nigeria: the funeral of the mother of a man popularly known as Obi Cubana, which would seem to be a metaphor for the collapse of values in Nigeria generally, the effect of poverty – spiritual, mental and physical – and how that pushes the people to desperate ends. The burial of Cubana’s mum may be seen as a form of celebration, she died at 75, but it was a lavish send-forth that was terribly obscene. The town of Oba has certainly never witnessed anything like that. Not even in the entire Anambra state has anyone organised anything so loud and extravagant. This was not a celebration of life. It was a celebration of Money. Obi Cubana’s mother died in November 2020. It took him more than seven months to plan the burial and when he decided that it was time for the dead to be sent forth, his obvious intention was to organise the mother of all burials, such that even the living would envy the dead and wish to die. The only problem is that not many Nigerians would rather die knowing that it is not every one that would ever get that kind of burial. Oba is ordinarily a quiet town of nine villages, located between the commercial town of Onitsha and the industrial town of Nnewi. During the civil war, it was the last frontier of the Biafran Army. But that community will now be remembered for a long time, for the burial of the mother of a certain Obi Cubana. The role played by the social media, and by Cubana’s friends is remarkable: how a country lost its moral centre and has produced a generation of new Nigerians who worship money, ego, kudi. The excitement generated among young Nigerians who could not make it to Oba but who followed the event on social media and became excited, is a measure of the extent of the crisis that Nigeria faces.

| Rt Rev. Biereonwu Livinus Onuagha, Bishop of the Methodist Church, Nigeria, Onitsha Diocese. |
A submission attributed to the Bishop of
the Methodist Church Nigeria, Onitsha Diocese, Rt Rev. Biereonwu Livinus
Onuagha, has it that any Igbo person criticising the leader of the proscribed
Igbo secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, is
naive and insane as he represents 99.9 percent Igbos.
The cleric who made the statement during a
press conference in Onitsha on Tuesday, added that though Kanu had exhibited
youthful exuberance in his agitation, most Ndigbos identify with his struggles
and quest for an entity called Biafra.
According to the Bishop, Kanu is an asset not only to the Igbos but to entire Southern Nigeria, and the Igbo person that criticizes him now “is a lost soul, a bastard and a naive person”.
