"A jury would see 'a big black teenager, and you’re automatically going to be assumed guilty." - In the case of Brian Bates who was wrongly accused and convicted for the rape of and by denigrate Wanetta Gibson; being advised by his attorney to take guilty plea in order to avoid a tsunami of a long prison sentence.
It would be recalled that it was the same script all over and in the same manner Robert Shapiro earlier ill-advised OJ Simpson to plea bargain before Johnny Cochran took over and secured his acquittal. Anyway, Icheoku asks, who says American underbelly, especially its application of justice to people of color and the poor is squeaky clean? For these class of humanity, they are not as privileged and are often presumed guilty until proven innocent; and there goes the much mouthed justice for all to the mincer?

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
