About a week ago, an 11 year old boy, Samuel was burnt alive in Lagos, this was after brutallity like I have never seen in my life either in a movie or real life was inflicted on this poor boy who was continually saying, "My God why have you left me like this?" He knew he was dead any way.
His crime? That he attempted to kidnap a baby.
Even when he was promised freedom if he just agreed he stole a baby, he still stuck to his innocence. Bottles were broken on his head, cudgels of all kinds used on him and he even had a big gravel stone smashed on his poor young head while a shameless man led the pack dragging Samuel on the road right in front of the National Stadium!
ALL OF THIS WAS SHOWN ON CHANNELS TV!
They finally carried out his execution after the woman whom he claimed to be
his mother denied him. They sprinkled him with fuel and gave him a "tire-necklace". He was set ablaze from the head. He ran with the fire burning his poor head while the mob continued bruising life out of him. The TV station couldn't continue showing this beastiality and they had to cut the clip and tell us how he finally died. The video clip was sold to Channels TV by an amateur cameraman. But it was all vivid enough.
The government was outraged and they vowed to get the murderers. First the police came out to say the boy was no kidnapper because nobody could produce the child he attempted to steal.
Yesterday, 45 of the people we saw on TV that Tuesday were paraded on that same station, 3 of them positively identified from the video clip, and I personally identified the woman who denied him (I knew she was going to be the first to be nabbed).
Some people will rot in jail for this boy's death and if the man that did the dragging is caught, God save him, he will have his day with the hangman. Amen
Haba Lagos!

chxta that is terrible. unfortunately mob mentality is one of the biggest dangers facing many developing countries, where these types of things are hard to control, leaving them as tempting tools to be used by rabble rousers, political or otherwise. I believe these things are the single most commonly used tools used to promote violence, and social and political unrest.
I remember looking outside my apartment window as a child and watching a similar scene with a group of men chasing after another man driving a car which crashed headlong into a brick wall. the man was pulled out and beaten with baseball bats and pipes.
Its terrible. Have you read 1984? I read it upon Erik's recommendation and it had a scene where the people were antagonised and instigated into a deep, intense hatred and anger by a regular government exercise designed expressly for that purpose. After the exercise, the people went on with their lives as normal.

:down:Between my girlfriend and I, I am the one who can stand Lagos in the first place. I may not like the city, but if push comes to shove I can live there (hell I lived there before, so nothing is new). She on the other hand can't stand the place.
Those of you who have been into long term relationships before (I mean relationships you hope will end in marriage) what is it like when one of you has to go away for a long period? Does it put strain on the relationship? Does the relationship die?
On another level, jobs are so difficult to find in Nigeria nowadays, so when one has a job, one holds on to it because you just can't resign and leave for some silly reason like the location they are assigning you to is awful...
To cut a long story short, my girl has been reassigned to Lagos. She is meant to start there on the 1st of November...

I've never been a fan of the long distance thing. Most people aren't, but there are a few that I know are... (they usually like the convenience of a bf/gf but don't want it to take up too much of their lives).
People react differently in those situations. Some can pull it off for years, of necessary, as long as they know a commitment is involved and things are heading somewhere. Others kind of wig out and can't handle being by themselves for too long.
So I guess I'm saying it depends on how you and her are, and what you both want. Things can wither and die if you let it -- and you don't put in the effort to keep it up. But then you have to partly ask yourself if anything too fragile would survive well in the ups and downs of life anyway.
It will change the relationship, certainly. The moments together will probably be more intense. And you'll probably find that the relationship with you apart is different from the relationship you might have if you were living in the same town.
Good luck, mate.

I am still in shock at the Milan-Juve match, moreso because I actually saw the game. Why was Abbiati on the bench? Why did Nedved have to make way when Zlatan was playing poorly?
The truth is this our defence didn't give away much in that game, the first goal was a lucky deflection, but Chimenti you don't rush of your line when the ball is just outside your box 18 except it is a 1 on 1...
The second goal was the only unstoppable one.
What can be said about the 3rd?
I hope we have another keeper. Chimenti definitely isn't Juve material...
Another thing we have to face is this... Milan had hunger yesterday. Why didn't we?
