Human rights activist, Harrison Gwanishu, has taken to social media to pour out his emotions as he marks the 5th anniversary of being acquitted by the court after he was wrongfully imprisoned for four years.
Background story: Harrison was arrested in 2011 after his former boss falsely accused him of robbery. He was charged to court for “conspiracy, unlawful possession of fire arms and armed robbery”.
While in jail, he was moved between Ogwashi Uku prison, SARS office Ikeja, A division Asaba, State CID Asaba, and Ikoyi prison.
When he was arraigned in court on November 30, 2015, he was discharged and acquitted after the court called for the complainant to come forward with evidence but none was provided.
Recounting his terrible experience, Harrison, in a video shared on his Instagram page today, November 30, 2021, broke down in tears as he thanked God for his freedom.
He captioned the video,
“At 11:45am, 30-11-2015, The wardens unlocked the leg chain led me into the dock.
Justice Mabel Omovie, High Court 5 Judge Asaba requested for my case file, she asked the female State Counsel “where is the complainant? My accusers couldn’t come forward to prove their case.
While I was in the dock, the Judge went through my case file and started writing. For almost 30 minutes I was still standing in the dock. ‘The dock is a place in the courtroom which is set aside for defendants and marks them out from other participants in the trial’.
After she was done writing, she read all she wrote and ruled in my favor.
“HARRISON GWAMNISHU is hereby DISCHARGED” At that moment, the wardens have no more power over me. I walked out of the dock A FREE MAN.
What would have been said of me if I was convicted of another man’s crime? .
I have seen death, I have experienced pain, rejection and trampled on like a rag. God lifted me up

“I keep saying it, be the change you want to see!
I went for my first vaccine and the people were so nice without knowing who I was, I transferred small cash to one of the ladies to share with the rest, came back for my second dose, I’m discussing with one of them and I ask if he got what I dropped for him the last time, he said no!
Apparently madam didn’t give any of them anything, after people blame government for chopping money, once put in a place of power it takes serious discipline to do right by people.
Several times I’ve experienced this.”

“Even Bible said you should send her credit alert for everything
* If she wants to make her hair * If she wants to shop * If she wants a new phone * If she is tired
* If she is happy * If she is sad* If she doesn’t know how she feels…….. just send her credit alert 😀😀😀😀
Ladies am I talking”.

A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Yola, Adamawa State on Monday, November 29, remanded a 21-year-old photographer, Muhammed Zubairu in prison custody over the death of his pregnant girlfriend, one Miss Sane Fidelis.
The 21-year-old who hails from Sabon Pegi, Mayo Belwa Local Government Area, was arraigned for criminal conspiracy and causing death by an act done with an intent to cause abortion which contravened sections 60 and 204 of the penal code law.

An unemployed Nigerian lady, Uche Anaekwe, has narrated how she went for an interview she wasn’t for and landed the job.
Taking to LinkedIn, the licensed cabin crew said she had submitted her CV to different airlines hoping to get a job, but all to no avail.
On a fateful day, her friend and co-cabin crew told her about a job aptitude test she was invited for and she decided to tag along and also write the test.
Fortunately for her, everything worked out in her favour and she got the job.
Sharing photos of herself in her cabin crew uniform, Uche wrote,
A lot has happened to me between August-November and I’m nothing short of grateful to God.
After I graduated from aviation school in July and got my cabin crew licence I had no idea how I was going to get a job, I didn’t know anyone in the industry who would give me a leg up and although I knew I had all the qualifications, I didn’t know how to go about securing a job except submitting my CV to airlines and hoping for the best.
In the last week of July, I decided to pack my bags and go to lagos, my plan was to go round airlines offices dropping my cv with them and praying that something clicks, mind you I had previously submitted my CV to Dana air when they called for new cabin crew but I didn’t hear back from them and off course I was devastated.
Long story short, a good friend and fellow cabin crew aspirant I met here on LinkedIn who had also applied for the same role with Dana told me that she had been invited for their aptitude test, I was very happy for her but at the same time sad that I wasn’t called. She was kind enough to tell me the date of the test and where it will take place (funny enough I was going to the airport that same day to submit my CV to other airlines).
I took a bold and courageous leap of faith, went for
an aptitude test I wasn’t invited for, and the rest they say is history.
They say that when opportunity meets preparedness, success is bound to happen.
I’m forever grateful to Maryam Adeleke for being an amazing friend to me even when she didn’t have to. I’m also very thankful to Dana air for using no prejudice and bias to recruit their new crew because I wouldn’t have had a chance otherwise.
I thank God for making my dreams come true and starting me off on this amazing journey, I know there are better things to come and look forward to it 🙏😊❤”

It’s wrong to attend a job interview and then send the male CEO an email telling him telling him that you will like to “know him better” whether or not you get the job.
Your intentions may be noble but it can be misunderstood.

Bred who is the son of Nigerian politician, Senator Ademola Adeleke and nephew of Nigerian billionaire businessman, Adedeji Adeleke, father of superstar singer, Davido, affirmed that life has not always been rosy for him.
According to him, 14 years ago he had a taste of ‘suffering’ and people who know him well can attest to it and confirm that his life has just changed for the better.
Bred who made this surprising revelation in a video he shared on social media said,
“To be honest, If I take it way back to like 12, 13 or 14 years ago, many people would just think that because my Uncle is a billionaire and my dad is a millionaire so I had it good since time. No o! I remember those days. People that know me very well know that I suffered and my life has just changed.”
Nigerian billionaire businesswoman, Folorunso Alakija, has in a church service narrated how God stopped her from using jewelry.
While preaching in a Lagos church on Sunday, November 28, the Founder of Rose of Sharon Group said it took 10 days for God to make her stop using jewelry completely.
According to her, she used to love jewelry a lot and had different pieces to match her outfits until she had the turning point experience.
According to Church Times, she said, “I used to love jewelry. I had all kinds and the jewelry had to match every cloth I wore. In those days I used to tell God not to take jewelry from me. If anybody had come to me and told me not to wear jewelry, I would not have listened to the person. I would have wondered where that person is coming from. But by the time God started dealing with me on it, I had no option but to do away with it.”
Alakija, who is one of the wealthiest woman in Africa, said the change started when she started bleeding from her ear lobe one night.
“That night I just suddenly found I was bleeding from my ear lobe. I did not sleep with earrings that night so I wondered what could have caused the bleeding. My ear lobe became sticky. When soap touched it while I was having my bath, it was hurting,”she said.
The clergywoman said before that experience, her younger sister reached out to her and said she dreamt that her earlobe had cut.
“That dream was almost becoming a reality. At a particular time when we were praying, a nephew of mine asked if I put lipstick on my earlobe because it had become red. The experience was not funny. But to cut a long story short, it took ten days for God to deal with me. Finally, I gave it up. Now I am free,” she added.
