Omoo, there is hunger in the land. He could have looted the shop empty if he really wanted to steal but he picked only items enough for one off feeding, This one is hunger-induced theft.
ReplyDeleteHunger in the land doesn't mean you should steal, he even stole cigarettes and gin????
DeleteMany people are going through one ish or the other, but they do not resolve to stealing as a solution.
People don't read to understand. Tge magistrate gave him an option of one month community service.
DeleteThank God say no be 30 years imprisonment unlike our politicians who get a pat on the back and do plea bargaining, going away with most of their loot which runs into billions
ReplyDeleteFrom what he stole, you can see that he's hungry. But with the packs of cigarettes and drinks in seeing on the list, it's like the guy is prone to vices.
Richie, I don't think the guys is prone to any vice joor, alaye wan smoke after eating what he stole. This is pure hunger, but stealing shouldn't have been an option for him.

I truly feel for the man what he did is an offence under the law,and the punishment should serve as a deterrent to any other person in that vicinity.
ReplyDeleteThank God he has an option of one month community service.
How I wish our rich politicians can also feel the wrath of the law in the same vein, but in my country the politicians that steals millions of naira are above the law.While the law act with quick speed and force when it comes to a poor man
