In Admiration I Died

It started as a flutter in my feet, heading up and moving through my really long legs. “These legs feel wobbly” I think to myself as I try to balance on my feet while carrying out cheap gossip with the girls and looking at the fine boy who passes by us in his dark skinned gloriousness.


 I thought I saw him wink so when the flutter moved from my feet to my stomach, I think “ah, butterflies”.
From the painful fluttering in the feet of my stomach to the tightening in my chest, I close my eyes in pain and confusion. Unable to open my eyes anymore because “darn, this pain is unbearable”, Chioma screams “snake! snake!!!!!”.

Lastly, in darkness, I hear scuffling as I fall softly to the ground.
I died.

The Nigerian Criminal Justice, Correctional System and What it Entails.        One would  wonder what the Nigerian Criminal  Justice  entails in its entirety.  The Nigerian  criminal  justice hinges on the Nigerian  Legal System  as the Constitution  of the Federal Republic of Nigeria  1999 (as amended)  posits it's foundation  thereof. Chapter 4 of the Constitution (FRN), particularly  Sections 33-46 further in its broad way expands the rights of individuals,  criminalities at different  stages  and the consequences of certain wrongs when acted upon by the citizenry of Nigeria  Not just the constitution recognizes the existence of  the Nigerian Criminal  Justice  and correctional  systems,  certain laws such as the Administration of Criminal Justice Acts and Laws of both the federation and State,  Criminal  Procedure Code laws, Penal Code Laws have both been created in Criminal  Jurisprudence to guide acts performed in both sections of the Nation-State, Nigeria.

Some uncles cannot even price meat and fish in the market with pride when aunty is around. Uncle will just be feeling all shy, trying to look like a gentleman in front of her. If this is you sir, take it from me, there is a big gap in your friendship with her, a very big gap that pretending to be friends cannot fill. Let me tell you a true story that happened with me and my Bestie Choco. Okay so, I was supposed to pick her up to go shopping.
