OSCAR PISTORIUS FOUND GUILTY OF CULPABLE HOMICIDE

The South-African athlete Oscar Pistorius was not found guilty of pre-meditated murder yesterday. But this morning, Judge Thokozile found Oscar guilty of culpable homicide.

Judge Thokozile Masipa said the athlete acted negligently when he fired shots through the door in the belief that there was an intruder.

The Judge said the state could not prove he(Oscar) intended to kill his girlfriend(Reeva Steenkamp) but was found guilty of the following:

*He was also found not guilty of the first firearm charge - (firing a gun through the roof of his car)
*He was found not guilty of the third firearm charge (unlawfully possessing 38 rounds of ammunition at his home without having a license).
*He was found guilty of the second firearm charge. He discharged a weapon in a public place, a restaurant called Tashas and asked his friend to take the blame. The judge says Oscar was sufficiently trained in the use of firearms, so should not have asked for a firearm in a public place.

Oscar is most likely to get 15 years in jail but legal experts are saying 7 to 10years. The verdict will be passed in a few weeks.

The question is will Oscar Pistorius go to jail or walk away?

OSCAR PISTORIUS NOT GUILTY OF MURDER SAYS JUDGE

Judge Masipa has read much of her judgement and she's just found Oscar Pistorius not guilty of murder. The judge said there were not enough facts to prove the most serious charge of pre-meditated murder. She said the case was based entirely on circumstantial evidence and dismissed the witness testimony. She said the witnesses were unreliable as they were confused when giving testimony and said most of what they said weren't accurate. She said even if Oscar was evasive with some facts, and was a 'very poor' witness, it doesn't mean he's guilty of murder.

She explained that Oscar's reaction after killing Reeva shows he didn't have criminal intent, hadn't foreseen he'd killed her. She said he could not have faked his reaction minutes after the shooting. She even dismissed the whatsapp message between the lovers, saying relationships are dynamic. She also said evidence did not support the state's claim of second degree murder.

"The state has not proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty of premeditated murder. There are just not enough facts to support such a finding'- she said.

While he's not guilty of premeditated murder, he awaits to find out if he's guilty of culpable homicide (manslaughter) which is the negligent death of another. It means there was no intention to kill but the killing is unlawful. The court has adjourned for early lunch.

GEJ ORDERS REMOVAL OF OFFENSIVE #BRINGBACKJONATHAN SIGNS

The presidency released a statement today after the campaign billboards went Viral yesterday. See press release below:

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has directed that the #Bring Back Jonathan 2015 signs and banners around Abuja which he and many Nigerians find offensive and repugnant be brought down immediately.
President Jonathan wholly shares the widely expressed view that the signs which were put up without his knowledge or approval are a highly insensitive parody of the #Bring Back Our Girls hash tag.
While President Jonathan appreciates the enthusiastic show of support for his administration by a broad range of stakeholders, he condemns the #Bring Back Jonathan 2015 signs which appear to make light of the very serious national and global concern for the abducted Chibok girls.


The President assures all Nigerians and the international community that his administration remains fully engaged with efforts to rescue the abducted girls and that he will not knowingly promote any actions that will fly in the face of the seriousness of their plight and the anguish of their families.

WORD FOR TODAY

MOVING ON, Part 1

There is only an end to ones life, but as long as you are alive the road to moving on is open. When there is life there is hope.

Moving on from things that are gone. Bad things will happen, surely, but how do you respond to them. Now there are two types of bad things those you can find answers to and those you can not find the answers. Those things we cannot find answers to, like when somebody dies, most times we cannot find those answer. But the things we can find answers to, like when somebody leaves you, friends betrayal, losing out in a contract that should have been yours, in cases like this answers are most likely available, if you seek them and you will find them.
But whatever be the case, the ultimate agenda is that you have to move on, you have answers you don't have them, you have to let go.
I know that thing really hurt you but will you give up a glorious future for something you can not have anymore? I would say NO.

Moving On is more like Forgiveness and Courage, the later helps you move on. You need to forgive to move on, You need courage to move. A heart that cannot forgive can never truly move on.
I want you to get up, seek answers if you can but if you cannot, start writing a new page of your life. God is planning something big and better but if you are crying and heartbroken when the opportunity comes you will miss it.
Moving on is accepting that today's plan did not work out but you are making a choice of re-converging and planning allover again. Moving on is a choice to be happy than be sad, Moving on is gratitude for starting over, moving on is newness, Moving on is forgiveness, Moving on is acceptance.
Moving on is Finding Joy when the expected came crashing. Find Joy today and move.
The Almighty has plans so accept today and each day and be grateful.

I leave you with the word of Walter Anderson, Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

ISLAM IS A TRUTHFUL RELIGION SAYS IMO TRADITIONAL RULER

A former Chief Sylvester O. Dimunah, the vice chairman of the Council of Village Heads in Imo State, has converted to Islam.
The traditional ruler, whose name is now Musa Dimunah, said that the truthful nature of the religion, is the reason why he made the switch. 

He revealed that the good character of Malam Ibrahim Biobonlomije, the former secretary of the council and the executive secretary of Justice Mamman Nasir Islamic Centre for Peace and Research influenced his decision to embrace Islam.

“I did not accept Islam, I only revert to the religion that our forefathers practice and the universal religion of humanity. I’m impressed by the good nature of Muslims’ love for everybody and hatred for none apart from the way they revere Allah and all the Prophets without discrimination,” he said.“I am also impressed by the brotherhood and mutual respect for each other and other members of the community.”

2015 ELECTION: INEC TO CONTRACT FOREIGN FIRM TO PRINT 2015 BALLOT PAPERS FOR N6 BILLION

Trouble looms at the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) headquarters in Abuja, as the commission decides to contract a foreign firm in Europe or U.S to print the ballot papers to be used for the 2015 Elections at the cost of N6 Billion.

Although, the commission has not awarded the contract there is a controversy on who will take up the contract. The commission is set travel to the United states of America, Italy, Ukraine and Germany in its first visit to inspect printing firms which can handle the Job.

The sum of N6 billion is to be used in printing ballot papers meant for the presidential and governorship election slated for February next year.
Also, the commission has set aside the sum of N3 billion to be paid to local printers to produce the ballot papers to be used for the National Assembly and House of Assembly elections in Nigeria next year.
In all the commission will be spending a whopping N9 billion for the printing of ballot papers for the five set of elections.

Sources who were uncomfortable with the decision of the management to give out the job to outsiders, have made their opposition known to INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega.
