Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Thought For Today

IBK, 

I usually work from the known to the unknown. If however, the unknown (when it becomes known) contradicts the known, I change gear.

By the way, I used preliminary information provided by the police, that for now is the evidence, so I am not jumping in.....

I am however not a legal practitioner, so don't expect me to compress my viewpoint into a legalistic perspective.

I am a poet and humanist. I gaze at the bigger picture.

Regards,

-CAO.

CAO,

It is early days yet. Stop jumping into conclusions. Wait until all sides of the issue are ventilated then come back to me with evidence based reasoning. Not these surmises and conjectures. 

So far on social media we are told the victim does not even smoke talk less take drugs. Also, this girl may not have worked alone. She may be a bait used by her gang members. 

At 21 with limited resources, she could possibly not get the false identity she used, the foreign number used to book the air bnb. Maybe her story was given to her by her crew and she is saying all these under duress. 

Relax. Do not jump head first into a shallow stream. Let us wait and see what happens after all the investigations are done and the case file is prepared. 

Cheers.

If there are no older men willing to date her, would she be dating an older man?

That man was old enough to be her father and he was doing illicit drug with her instead of advising her on becoming a great woman.

By the way, if she is 21, when did he start dating her and stuffing her with illicit drugs? May be before 18.

If he must be a bad guy in that direction, why did he not pick ladies in their late 30s and early 40s, who must have fulfilled a good percentage of their life ambitions?

If that man did not die, he probably would have become a Senator, House of Representatives member, governor of his state and/or even the President of Nigeria and we will keep wondering why things are the way they are in our country. This to me, is the most worrisome aspect.

The man however did not deserve to die, he should have been in prison.
