Justice for sale (I): Inside ‘illegal’ police detention centre in #Lagos | TheCable
thecable.ng/justice-for-sa… #JusticeForSale #JusticeSystemReform
A long-time investigation, including weeks of undercover reporting, revealed one of the police establishments notorious for its human rights violation.

#JusticeForSale #JusticeSystemReform
The anti-cultism unit at Gbagada, a suburb of Lagos state, is dreadful, but only to the innocent and those unable to pay for a wiped slate. The single bungalow building is notorious for torture, extortion and criminal detention of hapless Nigerians.
#JusticeForSale
Every day, family members of the detainees assemble in different clusters, opposite the building, agonising about the ‘ransom’ they have to pay the investigating police Officers (IPOs) of their detained relatives. thecable.ng/justice-for-sa…

The IPOs are gods, the generalissimos of the detention camp. They are feared because of the power they wield. They determine how long– weeks, many times, months– suspects spend in the holding cell. thecable.ng/justice-for-sa…

Many times, the paraded suspects are covered with bruises and wounds inflicted on them while in custody. Desmond Akpan [not real name], a student of the University of Lagos, was released to his father with a deep wound to his leg. #JusticeForSale

Who is the Nigerian of the Decade? TheCable picks… | TheCable bit.ly/2tgxXEG #NigerianOfTheDecade
The second decade of this millennium, which started on January 1, 2010, will end on December 31, 2019. It has been filled with momentous and unforgettable events — some pleasant, some non-pleasant and others neither here nor there. thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade
There were heroes, heroines, pacesetters, change agents and history makers. So we ask: which Nigerian made the greatest impact in the decade? thecable.ng/who-is-the-nig… #NigerianOfTheDecade

This will be LONG! Patience, please!
So, perhaps many of you recall a certain building posted by our friend before suspension!
Most thought it to be his 'dwelling'!
2)
 Some of us know that ALL his posts (except the rare personal one's, e.g. that he is well), are posted on purpose with special meaning (as he pointed out a few times).
He would NEVER EVER dox neither himself nor Ezra and wife. So WHY then did he post the building, wink wink?
3)
 For the record, it was also to trigger black hats (probably another reason that he was reported).
What is VERY much in news right now (when he posted + just before and after)?

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
