“FG Cares More For Dogs Than 80,000 Nigerian Prisoners, Says Oshiomhole – Join The Debate!”

“FG Cares More For Dogs Than 80,000 Nigerian Prisoners, Says Oshiomhole – Join The Debate!”Former Edo State governor Adams Oshiomhole has made a startling claim that the Nigerian government prioritizes the welfare of dogs over the 80,000 prisoners in correctional centers. Speaking at a public lecture titled “Nigeria Yesterday, Today, and a Prosperous Future,” Oshiomhole criticized the current state of Nigeria’s correctional institutions, highlighting that these centers are meant to rehabilitate wrongdoers, not to punish them harshly.

Key Points:

• Half Awaiting Trial: Oshiomhole revealed that 50% of prisoners are awaiting trial, emphasizing the principle that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
• Government Criticism: He lamented the oppressive tactics used by authorities, where connections with the DPO can lead to unwarranted lessons being taught.
• National Image: Oshiomhole also addressed the negative labeling of Nigeria and its currency by foreign entities, urging Nigerians to define their own identity and pursue home-grown policies.
