The Right to Freedom of Thought Conscience and Religion by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

- In Special Report
Thought is a process of the dynamics of the mind, in establishing ideas or opinions through the thinking flame that in most cases result in actions.
It could be regarded as cognitive processes energizing sensory stimulation and it can happen independently to every individual, in the areas of judgment, deliberation, reasoning, concept dynamics, and problem-solving.
When the result is positive, it favors social and interpersonal relationships.
And when it is negative it may hurt the feelings of others or damage to a destructive level. This is why it becomes an issue of the right to freedom.Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
Generally, therefore, our educational orientation must be directed towards a positive mindset for a right to freedom of thought to be beneficial to all.
In the same manner, every individual ought to be entitled to the freedom of conscience.
In religious parlance, we believe that the almighty God dominates to correct the system of man preventing or minimizing wrongdoings and maximizing the moral sense of right.
It becomes an issue before God and man when one becomes an adolescent starting from the age of puberty. This is a period when one is accountable for any of his deeds.-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
Conscience is very important to every human and society as a whole. Any individual with the right conscience will never indulge in dastardly acts, hence the right of every individual to the free to conscience must be worked on through the correct educational programs. The right to the freedom of religion is equally very important if we are able to view religion from the perspective of the socio-spiritual inspirational school, where faith in a particular belief is considered to be built on the rock of a positive mindset of self-relevance, confidence, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. This will make an individual be permanently aligned with his creator.-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
Religion emphasizes the necessity for society to build values such as love, respect, harmony, and empathy.
The right to freedom of religion, therefore, becomes an issue, where it could not be effectively regulated and controlled into the right and beneficial practices.
There is, therefore, the dire need to challenge religious leaders to role model the right practices of religion to enjoy the cover of protection under the fundamental human rights charter.
Generally, therefore, every individual ought to be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, provided all-controlling leaders are able to role model the virtues of life.Read-Government Workers-A Subject of Debate

Adultery Ruins Avoid it by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 27/12/2021
- In Special Report
To appreciate the difference between animal and man, the area of mating is pointer.Take note that adultery may bring shame and betrayal of trust as well as risking the consequence of divine sanctions and decay.
The Holy Quran and the Holy Bible are unanimous on this.
The Holy Quran 17 : 32 refers, ‘’ Never come nigh to adultery : For it is an indecent deed and an evil way.’’
The Holy Bible Matthew 5 : 27–28 equally emphasizes on sexual sins.
‘’You have heard that it was said don’t do the sin of adultery. But I tell you that, if a person looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, then that person has already done that sin with the woman in his mind.’’
The wisdom of avoiding adultery is captured in the Holy Bible Proverbs 5 : 3–14, ‘’For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.’’
The Holy Quran, therefore warns that we should avoid adultery with a case study of the penalty of flogging as a preventive measure from plunging oneself into the wrath of God; if and only if one wants to remain a believer.
The Holy Quran 24 : 2 refers, ‘’ The woman and the man guilty of fornication,-flog each of them with a hundred stripes : let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah; if ye believe in Allah in the Last Day : And let a party of the believers witness their punishment.’’
Since the punishment for adultery and fornication is socaiily lower than the spiritual consequence and that in any of the ways, adultery can create bad blood, big fight and poisonous feud.
The believers must make it mandatory for themselves to keep chastity against all odds and avoid keeping of bad company not to become victims of people’s snares to slander their names.
The Holy Quran 24 : 23 warns all of us. ‘’ Those who slander chaste, indiscreet and believing women are cursed this life and in the Hereafter : For them is a grievous chastisement.’’
Adultery can ruin avoid it, therefore, and role model exemplary lifestyles as we step into the new year.

The Right to Fair Hearing by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 24/12/2021
- In Special Report
Fair hearing could be described as the process that ensures that the trial of an individual conforms to the fundamental concept of justice and equality.The right to fair hearing, therefore, requires that an individual ought not to be penalized by decisions affecting their rights or legitimate expectations, unless they have been given prior notice of the case.
Secondly, a fair opportunity to respond must equally be given and thirdly, the opportunity to present their own case.
Respect for the following four essentials are therefore crucial :
Adequate notice should be served to the accused.
2. The accused must be duly informed about the evidence against him, her or them.
3. The accused must be given the opportunity to present his, her or their cases as well as the relevant evidences.
4. The accused must be given the opportunity to contest adverse evidences.
It must be noted that presumptions, assumptions or insinuations are clogs in the wheel of an enabling environment for fair hearing. Therefore, the sine qua non or essential conditions for fair hearing must be created.
The right to know the facts of the suit or case must be precondition for the commencement of any hearing.
The right to fair hearing must be seen to have been achieved, not to give room to coercion or other process that negates the provisions of fair hearing.
In addition, the right to fair hearing/public hearing before a competent, independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law must be guaranteed.
The presumption of innocence without molestation without molestation must be guaranteed.
The right to fair hearing is an essential ingredient of democracy and it ensures that the people’s interests are well taken care of when it comes to civil rights and obligations including any question or determination of by or against any government or authority, whereby a person shall be entitled to fair hearing within a reasonable time by a court or other tribunal established by law.

Avoid Falsehood in Transactions by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 16/12/2021
- In Special Report
Wise people believe that life is ephemeral and that social desires may become a tantalizing mirage if we live by falsehood to acquire wealth.The Holy Bible admonishes us that we must not claim knowledge where ignorance prevails. For us to be able to know our limits, therefore, there is a need to seek for knowledge and clarification.
Proverbs 30 : 4 submits that, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
The Holy Quran, therefore, warned us that education and wisdom demand that we must not claim to know where knowledge is absent.
The Holy Quran 6 : 93 emphasizes the consequence as been grievous.
‘’Who can be more wicked than one who invented a lie against Allah, or saith, I have received inspiration when he hath received none or again who saith, I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed ? If thou couldst but see how the wicked do fair in the agonies of death!-The angels stretch forth their hands saying yield up your souls : This day shall ye reward,-chastisement of disgrace for that ye used to tell lies against Allah and scornfully to reject of His signs !''
Proverbs 30 : 5–6 further warns us to be vanguards of truth always, ‘’Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.’’
In the same way the Holy Quran 2 : 42 admonishes with emphasis, ‘’And cover truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth when ye know what it is ?’’
What makes people tell lies most often is the affinity for materialism, most especially when due process is abridged for the sake of having undue maximum gains in business or material transaction.
Proverbs 30 : 7–9 clarifies issues on this, ‘’Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
Why do wed neglect God and His charges to direct our affairs not to head for the precipice of life.
The Holy Quran 13 : 26 refers, ‘’Allah doth enlartge, or grant by strict measure the sustenance which He giveth to whom He so pleaseth. The worldy rejoice in the life of this world : but the life of this world is of little comfort compared to the hereafter.’’
To be an exemplar, all must endeavor to be vanguards of truth in all forms of transactions.

A Viable Condition by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 02/12/2021
- In Special Report
Viable condition is necessary for successful restoration and preservation of cultural heritage on core values of integrity would have to depend solely on the understanding and practice of exemplary lifestyles based on values of integrity, otherwise, the system may suffer from unwarranted happenings.
The viable condition of scripture compliance is sacrosanct, the right practice of every religion for ease of adapting and adopting the dictates of God to put up pious and exemplary lifestyles.
A critical study of democracy to energize civil rule rests on the viable condition of justice, deterrence, and equity concept application to avoid the challenges of marginalization and agitations by the people over perceived injustice towards them.
Where such viable conditions are absent there would be system disequilibrium through the heating up of the polity. A further study on the triangle of sustainable development x-rays environment, economy, and the people or society to thrive harmoniously.
The economy and other aspects of society must be viable to ensure streamlined development.
Several nations depend on investments from local and international sources, but no investor will ever come to a conflict-ridden environment to invest. An environment characterized by insurgency,
natural disasters, violent crimes, dictatorship, and the infringement of the fundamental human rights of the people would never be investment-friendly.
In the final analysis, the viable condition is an index measure of capability where system functionality leads to the development that is sustainable without recourse to parasitic means.Also read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

FBI Warns of Holiday Scams Ahead of Holiday Season
- By solomon2day
- On 02/12/2021
- In News
Press Release
The FBI Columbia Field Office is warning the public of common holiday scams ahead of the 2021 holiday season.
With the holidays upon us and seasonal shopping in full gear, criminals are set to look for opportunities to take advantage of consumers. The FBI is encouraging shoppers to be vigilant for scams that are designed to steal their money and personal information.
The two most prevalent holiday scams are non-delivery and non-payment crimes. The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 17,000 complaints of non-delivery goods, resulting in over $53 million in losses during the 2020 holiday season.
“More than ever consumers are shopping online and using alternative payment methods, aside from cash,” said Susan Ferensic, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Columbia Field Office. “Criminals have adapted to the way we shop, and they work overtime to create elaborate schemes to steal from us.”
Some of the common holiday scams the FBI warns of are:
Online shopping scams – Scammers offer deals through phishing e-mails or advertisements.
Social media scams – Scammers use social media sites that appear to offer vouchers or gift cards. These scams often lead consumers to complete online surveys designed to steal personal information.
Smartphone app scams – Scammers design mobile apps disguised as free games that steal personal information.
Work-from-home scams – Scammers use websites and social media posts that offer working from home. Convenience is the attention grabber, but there may be fraudulent intentions.
Gift card scams – Victims receive a spoofed e-mail, call, or text asking them to purchase multiple gift cards for person or business reasons.
Charity scams – Criminals set up false charities and profit from individuals who believe they are donating to legitimate organizations.
If you believe you are victim of a scam, contact your financial institution immediately. You should also contact your local law enforcement agency. Finally, victims should file a complaint with IC3 by visiting www.IC3.gov

Knowledge by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 28/10/2021
- In Special Report
Knowledge is either acquired or imbued by the endowment. Knowledge about things is fundamental to human growth and development and it has to do with the need for safety and security consciousness with growth.
Knowledge makes one be able to, differentiate between predators and friendly beings.
It determines mand relevance and order of importance to human life and development for the body and psyche to be able to cope with endowed and encountered knowledge. It cal also be classified into the voyage of life in the physical world as well as to that of the unseen which has a direct relation to the spiritual life of every human.
Education, whether formal or informal must have a process of refining knowledge for the consumption of learners to be directed towards a positive mindset only. Otherwise, knowledge may become a toxic substance that may deform rather than reform because of the associated garbages which religion is struggling to suppress in every human.
knowledge, therefore, portends that every project to be laudable must be a conglomerate of the network of Science, Technology, Management, and Commerce, in an environment of self-esteem, due process, and the fear of God to mix the realities of the physical world and that of the unseen.
It must be functional for it to be meaningful.
Every one of us must be challenged with the dynamics of knowledge but with safety valves that would prevent misuse.
Knowledge is a must value to promote information, transmission for human comprehension and development and must be regarded as the acquisition through learning, experience to enhance learners' practical ability into real skill development. We must daily increase our knowledge base for relevance and credbility.Also read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

Chicago Man Convicted of Attempting To Provide Material Support to ISIS
- By solomon2day
- On 21/10/2021
- In News
CHICAGO — A federal jury today convicted a Chicago man of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
The jury convicted THOMAS OSADZINSKI, 22, after a two-week trial in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The charge of attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman did not immediately set a sentencing date.
The conviction was announced by John R. Lausch, Jr., United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Mark Lesko, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice; and Emmerson Buie, Jr., Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI.
The case was investigated by the Chicago Joint Terrorism Task Force, which is comprised of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Barry Jonas and Melody Wells of the Northern District of Illinois, and Alexandra Hughes, Trial Attorney of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
Evidence presented at trial revealed that ISIS and its supporters disseminated the terror group’s propaganda materials on social media to recruit fighters and inspire violence against the United States and other countries. Many social media platforms remove ISIS media content due to the violent nature of the materials. Osadzinski, a U.S. citizen, designed a process using a computer script to make ISIS propaganda more conveniently disseminated online. The process would automatically copy and preserve ISIS media postings in an organized format, allowing social media users to continue to conveniently access and share the content.
Osadzinski in 2019 shared his script – and instructions for how to use it – with individuals whom he believed to be ISIS supporters and members of pro-ISIS media organizations. Unbeknownst to Osadzinski, the individuals were actually covert FBI employees and a person confidentially working with law enforcement.

Press Release
Former senior executives convicted of participating in “side door” scheme to facilitate their children’s college admissions to the University of Southern California
BOSTON – Two former executives were convicted today by a federal jury in Boston in connection with conspiring to bribe athletic officials to facilitate their children’s admission to the University of Southern California (USC) as purported athletic recruits.
John Wilson, 62, of Lynnfield, Mass., and Gamal Abdelaziz, 64, of Las Vegas, Nev., were convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery. Wilson was also convicted of three counts of wire fraud and honest services wire fraud, two counts of federal programs bribery, and one count of filing a false tax return. U.S. District Court Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton scheduled sentencing for Feb. 16, 2022 for Abdelaziz and Feb. 17, 2022 for Wilson.
In 2013, Wilson agreed to pay William “Rick” Singer $220,000 to facilitate his son’s admission to USC as a purported water polo player. More specifically, in October 2013, Singer sent Wilson a water polo profile for Wilson’s son that included fabricated awards and swim times. After Wilson’s son was accepted to USC, Wilson wired $100,000 to Singer’s sham charity, the Key Worldwide Foundation (KWF), $100,000 to Singer’s company, The Key, and $20,000 directly to Singer. Wilson paid the bribe from a corporate account and deducted it as a business expense. In 2018, Wilson agreed to pay Singer $1.5 million to have his twin daughters admitted to Harvard University and Stanford University as purported sailing recruits.
In 2017, Abdelaziz agreed to pay Singer $300,000 to facilitate the admission of his daughter to USC as a purported basketball recruit, despite the fact that she did not make her high school’s varsity team and did not play basketball at all during her junior and senior years in high school. In a July 2017 email, Singer asked Abdelaziz for an action shot of his daughter playing basketball to be used in an athletic profile for USC. A co-conspirator, Laura Janke, created a phony athletic profile for Abdelaziz’s daughter which included falsified awards and athletic honors. In October 2017, Abdelaziz’s daughter was admitted to USC as a basketball recruit and in March 2018, she was formally accepted and Abdelaziz wired $300,000 to KWF.
Singer and Janke previously pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
Case information, including the status of each defendant, is available here: College Admissions
The charge of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater.

Zimbabwe Court Remands Senior Police Officer for Obstructing Justice
- By solomon2day
- On 28/09/2021
- In News
A Senior Police Officer in Zimbabwe has been remanded by a Magistrate court for obstructing the course of justice.
The Officer Commanding the Police in Mashonaland West province, Commissioner Conneli Dube was arrested by officials of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC), attempting to shield four Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers, Detective Assistant Inspector Moses Million, Detective Assistant Inspector Newton Musende, Detective Sergeant Never Muchekawaya and Detective Constable Justice Mapfanya, who are facing charges of extorting money from one Washington Ongorani.
The police commissioner allegedly withheld the criminal docket for the four, thereby contravening Section 184 (1)(a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act chapter 9:23.
The docket was prepared by Chief Inspector Elymas Silivani, who proceeded with it to court under prosecutor reference number A225/21.
The court further heard that on March 12, 2021, a public prosecutor returned the docket to the police station with instructions for the investigating officer to return it on March 19, 2021.
The accused, the court heard, instructed one Superintendent Ruwanda to bring the docket to his office, before ordering him to ignore the instruction from the public prosecutor.
The top cop is also said to have ordered Superintendent Ruwanda to keep the docket locked in the district office’s safe until further instructions.
The then Officer Commanding Makonde District, Chief Superintendent Elliot Magomo, the court further heard, approached the accused to inquire why dockets were being kept under lock and key, prompting the accused to claim that it was a directive from his superiors.
On May 13, Magomo wrote to Dube advising him of a complaint from Ongorani who queried why his case was taking too long, but Dube took no action.
The State opposed the bail application on the basis that the accused was a flight risk and was also likely to abscond and interfere with witnesses.Dube appeared Tuesday before the same court for initial remand, and the matter was rolled over to Wednesday for determination of bail.
ZACC’s senior investigations officer, Patrick Madiye argued if granted bail, Dube could influence or intimidate some of the witnesses who were his subordinates.
Madiye also told the court that the accused had influenced the transfer of two senior officers from the province.
The Provincial magistrate, Ruth Moyo denied Dube bail insisting that the senior police officer could interfere with witnesses.Also read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

False Teachings and True Riches by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 20/09/2021
- In Special Report
Presently,it is very difficult to differentiate believers from unbelievers in terms of attitude.The Holy Quran 25 : 44,therefore satisfies the curiosity of the just at the waywardness level of adherents of almost all religious bodies in the nation.
‘’Thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand ? Their holy like cattle,nay, they are farther astray from the way.’’
The Holy Quran 10 :36 further infers,’’Most of them follow nothing but conjecture : truly conjecture can be of no avail against Truth.Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.’’
In the present time several religious practices have been overwhelmed by false teachings and true riches as suggested in the Holy Bible, 1Timothy 6 :3–10, ‘’As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
The Holy Quran attests to the submissions above by warning in64 : 15–16,’’ Your riches and your children,but a trial :whereas Allah is with Him is the highest reward.So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey; and spend in charity for the benefit of your own souls and those saved from the covetousness of their own souls-they are the ones that achieve prosperity.
In the Holy Quran 2 : 45 the right approach recommended by true religious worship makes this assertion for people that want to get rich, most especially through the dignity of labor. ‘’Nay,seek Allah’s help with patience, perseverance and prayer :It is indeed hard except to those who are humble.’’
The restoration of true teaching and true riches must be based on been scripture compliant as adherents of all sects and denominations in all religious systems.
The Holy Quran 16 :125 refers,’’Invite all to the ways of the Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching(counseling);and argue(dialogue)with them in ways that are best(without hate speech) and most gracious(without holier than thou or air of arrogance and insult) : for thy Lord knowest best,who have strayed from His path and who receive guidance.’’
Therefore,let us avoid false teaching and the quick money making syndrome, but instead follow a righteous path of scripture compliance to have the fear of God for the purpose of restoring our core values of integrity,sanity and a well ordered society bequeath able as a legacy for posterity.
