Oh, been going on years. For so many years
A classic late 2000's case in the SS: a very popular politician's father kidnapped. They found out one of the perpetrators was the son of another big politician. Flew him abroad and swapped with a random guy picked up from the streets.
Today I learnt that If a wealthy man’s son commits a crime in Nigeria and gets sentenced to prison, they’ll raid poor neighborhoods, pick up an innocent boy, and swap him in.
The rich kid goes home & the poor kid serves the sentence. This is why most of those raids happen.

they even make the poor kid bear the name of the original convict thereby eliminating his own ID.
So when the poor kid is reported missing no one will know he's in prison.

The raid mostly takes place between 10pm and onwards, and you won't be taken to the station until 12:30am, after which you will be labelled as loitering in a suspected area.
If you don't have family that will come forward early, otilor.
This made me remember when covid19

There was an actual viral post on Twitter here or Snapchat (I can’t remember) about looking for a replacement for a prison sentence for 6 months or so.
Like literally in the open and you are talking about raids?
Mind you, the OP got someone. 😭

This is as old as the justice system in Nigeria.
The poor innocent kid will be forced to take on the identity of the rich kid while in prison, effectively wiping out traces of his original name or ID for proper search & identification….

Yes. Police almost did same to someone I know and I openly resisted them. Alone.
Nigerians can be the most 🤦 that's why police would pack boys innocently playing ball and onlookers will step aside instead of asking questions...!

Yep and allegedly if the wealthy person child is sentenced to death they use another’s prisoner inside to take his place and fly their child out of the country, shit is scary.

There is a particular station in Lagos that does this.
They have a cell that isn’t on their official list. Those ones in there never stand trial. They are there for easy swap.

This is 2023 votes on an orange.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu “won” with 36.61% of the votes.
The opposition had 63.29% combined, and this was before Nigerians tasted Tinubu, so imagine what that pie will be next year with all the anger on the street.
In a free and fair election Tinubu will lose, in a rigged one - he will be forced out by sheer amount of turn out.

Bro, you are coming from a poor home. Already life is leading you 1-0
But if you now become pessimistic and believe that the world happens to you and you don’t have control over it, then it starts to lead you 2-0
Don’t do that to yourself. Pessimists don’t make it, because life is so hard that the only thing that will keep you going is the delusion that someone like you can make it.

IPOB was proscribed as terrorists the same time terrorists were rebranded as bandits by the government.
700 terrorists are reintegrated into the community but Nnamdi Kanu must serve a life sentence for daring to call for the segregation of the south east.
Sunday Igboho is not the same as Nnamdi Kanu & his Amotekun is not ESN.
If you don’t see the hypocrisy then it’s because you are a hypocrite yourself.

If you grew up poor, there is usually this guilty conscience that comes when you start making a lot of money easily; like you don’t deserve it & you’d soon lose it all.
…you must fight this feeling, it can end up subconsciously sabotaging you back to zero.
You deserve every win you get!
