For those who might want to learn:
1. When a defendant pleads guilty to a charge and the offense is not a capital punishment, the court will record the plea of guilt for the defendant and sentence the defendant to the appropriate sentence as may be prescribed by law.
2. When a defendant pleads guilty to a charge and the offence is a capital punishment, the court MUST record the PLEA OF NOT GUILTY and proceed to trial. If the court records the plea of guilty for a defendant in a capital offence and proceeds to sentence the defendant without a full trial, the sentence and conviction will be set aside on appeal.
3. When a defendant is charge for different offences, which include both capital and non capital offences, and the defendant pleads guilty to all the charges, the court must apply rule 1 above the the non-capital offences and rule 2 above to the capital offences. Which means that, for the non-capital offences, the court will record the plea of guilty, convict and sentence the defendant. For the capital offences, the court will record not guilty, even if the defendant has pleaded guilty, and proceed to full trial.
3. Where all the offences a defendant is charged are non-capital offences and the defendant pleads guilty to some counts and not guilty to other counts, the court will records plea of guilty to the count in respect of which a defendant has pleaded guilty, convict and sentence accordingly. For the counts which the defendant has pleaded not guilty, the court will proceed to trial for the determination of guilt as the defendant is presumed innocent of those counts he has pleaded not guilty to.
NB: Capital offences are offences that attract death penalty and they include: murder, armed robbery, kidnapping and terrorism resulting to death.
Thank you.

@Pressman2040 π€£ Now you tell me who won? They see us, they run. The whole ISIL and Boko HARAM clique. This is how we do it on our side. We told them when we bring it we bring drama. Fuck ISIL, fuck ISWAP and the whole terrorists family. If you're down with terrorists fuck you too. MOP DEM ALL
@RealQueenBee__ I donβt worry myself about Seun OkinBiscuit anymore. He will be the first Nigerian journalist to go to prison for Treason once APC leaves office. For now he thinks heβs smart. Even Morayo don pivot since.
@Hhonor_ That's not true. My 5 children are enjoying scholarship to university level given to them by Tinubu last year. I'm a South Easterner and haven't met Tunde before and still haven't.
You have to remind us that he his younger to you,but you have never display your maturity in our national discuss here. You are too far away from or disconnected from common sense.
Jibrin my younger brother, you people still do not know the kind of person I am.
I say it as it is. When you do bad I also say it,
Hope you guys will also be happy when I see bad and I say it
I don't expect anything less from you,from someone who terribly bad mouthed her own father and siblings will not not spear anyone else neither her country. May your madness be permanent KαΊΉmi.
The children and teachers abducted from Oyo state are being moved to Katsina now as I speak. They have been in Northern Nigeria for two weeks now. Katsina is the home of the cabal who run Nigeria. The person behind this operation is an APC Chieftain you all know. The goal is to prevent Makinde from running for the presidency and keep him busy. Ransom or no ransom, Sharia or no Sharia, some of those children have _____ in captivity already. You guys are in a failed disgraced country and remember Dr Kemi Olunloyo is a βmad woman.β They will likely be freed after the elections if Tinubu wins. Keep running around for your voters card, useless dumb people.

Peter Obi has appealed for sacrifice from aspirants who were unable to secure tickets in the NDC primaries. He assured them that although they may have lost this time, they will have another opportunity to win in the future.
He said, βLet us not be preoccupied with today. It is important that we focus on the bigger picture.β
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has announced plans to acquire new security drones after revealing that the five drones purchased earlier for β¦300 million cannot be found. Missing.
Not crashed. Not decommissioned. Not transferred. MISSING.
Now the state will spend more tax money to replace drones that somehow vanished into thin air. And when Nigerians complain, Davido will come online to tell us his uncle is the best governor in Nigeria.π
β¦300 million. Five drones. Zero accountability. And we are supposed to clap for more procurement.
The issue is not the drones. The issue is the opaque system that allows public funds to disappear without consequences. If drones can go missing, what else cannot be accounted for?
Governor Adeleke should first explain where the β¦300 million drones went before asking for another kobo for new ones. Transparency is not an option. It is the minimum standard.
And Davido, with all due respect, your music is great. But gaslighting Nigerians about governance is not a good look. Let your uncle account for the missing drones first.

What is really going on in this country??
Gregory,you were biggest proponent cheerleading religion hegemony in the last election,you are a lier, deceptive and a dangerous individual. Someone like you should never for any reason govern a multi dimension state like ours. We the yorubΓ s,we will speak with our votes in 2027.
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@PeterObi A hypocrite writes. If I were in the Bola Tinubu or any other presidential candidate's media group, the video where you asked the church to take back the country and your leaked audio with a renowned man of God, will be made into the Hausa language and shared across the north.
Subtly accusing Yorubas in Lagos that they used tribalism and bigotry as a tool in the 2023 election when we all watched Ipob people boasted about how they will take over Lagos if GRV and you won. Over 300k PVCs where transported from the east to lagos to vote out Yorubas!A supposed governorship candidate of a Yoruba state boldly said on the National TV that he doesnβt think in Yoruba! He called our traditions (Oro) diabolical! He showed anti Yoruba sentiments and you wanted us to vote him in??
But something has been bugging me.
Dr. Chudi Nwike was AD national secretary and ACN national vice-chairman (South East)
He was kidnapped along Abuja-Auchi Road in 2013 and eventually murdered.
His killer was caught and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Tinubu became president and granted his killer a presidential pardon.
Why would Tinubu grant the killer of one of his earliest and strongest political allies a presidential pardon?
Something feels off here, and I'm gonna dig until I find out what it is
