UPDATE ON THE CASE OF MR. OKEY IFEJOKU:

1. I just got off the cal with one of the sons of Mr. Okey Ifejoku.

2. From my conversation with him, there are brilliant lawyers already handling this matter. They were also the ones that represented him when he was charged with murder.

3. Mr. Okey is standing trial at the Federal High Court, Abuja judicial division for a 3 count charge for acts of 'terrorism' tied to the murder of one Cyprian - as seen in the further further amended charge sheet.

4. In 2020, the Delta State High Court, Asaba judicial Division, in suit no A/240c/2017, in its judgement delivered on the 13th day of August, 2020 discharged and acquitted Mr. Okey of the said offence - the murder of one Cyprian.

5. Mr. Okey is currently being detained at Force Headquarters, Asaba, Delta State on the orders and pleasure from 'above'.

6. He is yet to take his plea. This is so because Court is on strike at the moment.

7. What I can say thus far is that this case is most political

@MalamiSan

8. And flagrant display of political might by disgruntled and aggrieved elements, who feel that Mr. Okey did them wrong. A nameless wrong that was not recognised by the Court.

9. I am using this medium to humbly appeal to the Attorney General of the Federation, @MalamiSan

...to use his good office and enter a Nolle Prosequi as the entire charge against Okey Ifejoku is manifestly frivolous. It is the law that a person shall not be tried for the same offence with same facts and ingredients twice: s. 36(9)CFRN 1999; FRN v. LUCKY NOSAKHARE IGBINEDION

10. They accused this innocent man in Delta and the Court says he was not guilty of the charges leveled against him.

11. Something tells me those persecuting Okey are after his life. They want him dead. How does a communal dispute translate into terrorism?

12. I confident that justice will prevail. This man called chief Okey has suffered a great deal. His only offence is standing in the way of certain land grabbers from interfering with communal land that was under his custody at the time.

13. This is just a case of one man, using his wealth and connection to frustrate, humiliate and oppress another man perceived as less connected, poor and weak.

What is the crime of Chief Okey Ifekoju?

The Council today decided to prolong the framework for restrictive measures against cyber-attacks threatening the EU or its member states for another year, until 18 May 2022.

.

This framework allows the EU to impose targeted restrictive measures on persons or entities involved in cyber-attacks which cause a significant impact, and constitute an external threat to the EU or its member states.

Restrictive measures can also be imposed in response to cyber-attacks against third states or international organisations where such measures are considered necessary to achieve the objectives of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).

Today, I addressed students of Government Girls Secondary school...and told them that no amount of bride price can sufficiently quantify the worth of any woman. I also told those promising las that marriage is not an achievement.

I further told them that they had a duty to succeed in life, make their parents proud and, the society better. I made it clear to them that every girl or woman out there can succeed without the help of a man. I told them that they need not get laid in order to succeed.

I took special pains to interview and interact with some of them and discovered that, some of them, have been sexually exploited to a heightened degree. I assured them that all those who took advantage of their innocence will be severely dealt with, in accordance with the law.

It is a wrong for a man to use the colour of his station in life to oppress the common man. It is even a greater wickedness to charge an innocent man for murder at the magistrate Court. He was discharged and acquitted on merit.

Not stopping there, you decided to charge him for treason at the Federal High Court,Abuja. There is nothing in the charge that discloses the offence he is so charged with. I feel for chief Okey Ifejoku, he is a victim of arbitrary use of power, arising from communal land crises.

I have seen a video by someone here - on this street - alleging that Chief Okey Ifejoku 'killed' his father or contributed to the death of his father. If that judgement is true valid and binding, then his claims are baseless and defamatory. I hope he understands that.

A REJECTED ASPECT OF FEMINISM BY THE GLOBAL INTELLECTUAL COMMUNITY

WOMAN AT POINT ZERO: NAWAL EL SAADAWI’S RADICAL AFRICAN FEMINISM WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME

- Catherine Addison, University of Zululand

The Egyptian author, physician and activist Nawal El Saadawi’s recent

death has brought her writing back into the public eye. This is an opportune return, because El Saadawi’s feminism was ahead of its time – in both the Arab and the African worlds. In a recent analysis, I focused on her 1975 novel Woman at Point Zero.

El Saadawi published over 50 books in her lifetime, many of them novels. Woman at Point Zero, the first of her novels to cause public controversy, tells the story of Firdaus, a woman born into poverty in

FEMINISM, AVRIL AMAKA, NIGERIAN FEMINISTS AND TWITTER NG

What is projected [today] as 'feminism' on Nigerian Twitter, is drastically different from what I was taught in school - in my jurisprudence and legal theories class.

It does not even follow with the ideas expressed in the more than 20 books I have read on Feminism, neither does it follow with the research and presentation I have made (as an academic) on Feminism.

One of the most abused concept here on social media is the term 'feminism'. According to Chimamanda, feminism in Nigeria is now a hub for justifying and carrying out wickedness and nastiness of the highest degree.
