@hamingra1 @Jamiescript @ChidiOdinkalu Disagreement is fine, but describing a legal scholar in those terms doesn’t engage the actual issue. He remains an accomplished legal scholar. The reference to “double jeopardy” is being used metaphorically, not as a strict doctrinal claim under Nigerian constitutional law.

@Jamiescript @SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Am ashamed that @ChidiOdinkalu keeps falling our hands! A LEGAL person is writing something like a drunkard in a beer parlour!

I am getting multiple & credible reports that a senior cabinet adviser with responsibility for security matters in Anambra State, who supervised the enforcement action against Chukwudozie Nwangwu - better known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki - has been intensely canoodling with Akwa Okuko's young spouse while the ex-Native Doctor serves time in prison. If this is true, it gives new meaning to #DoubleJeopardy & is the kind of impunity & #SelfDealing that brings government into disrepute. #AkwaOkuko may justly be serving time for violations of criminal law but interference with his domestic & marital arrangements is not part of the stipulated punishment, & surely not for the benefit or at the instigation of the person in government who oversaw proceedings against him. I am confident that Gov. @CCSoludo will investigate this & ensure that the responsible officer of his government is called to order fortwith.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu This is the settled interpretation in cases such as Ashe v. Swenson (1970), which deals with issue preclusion in criminal trials. The concept is procedural, not metaphorical. Nothing in that doctrine extends to unrelated post-conviction social conduct.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu In criminal jurisprudence, double jeopardy attaches only where there is a second prosecution or punishment by the same sovereign for the same offence after final adjudication.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu Section 36(9) CFRN clearly limits double jeopardy to protection against successive criminal trials or punishments for the same offence. There’s no interpretive basis in Nigerian constitutional law 4 extending it to unrelated post-judgment events or personal social developments.

@ChidiOdinkalu If someone uses “Double jeopardy” to describe post-conviction personal or social developments, that is at best a metaphorical language or rhetorical exaggeration. It is not a technical legal application and that meaning does not expand or change based on context or rhetoric.

@ChidiOdinkalu Do you even know the meaning of double jeopardy? Y’all just be ignorantly throwing words around and gullible Nigerians believe you’re intelligent because they’re too lazy to research

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu I’ll ignore the personal commentary. On the substance, Double jeopardy has a settled legal meaning in criminal law and does not apply to post conviction social or ethical situations. If you disagree, quote a contrary legal authority. If not, be thankful for learning something new

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu You actually embody mundane charlatanism. Your references are strictly to basement legal education: definition of Double Jeopardy/Law School experience. You have no capacity to call to the deep. I apply my energies to profounder, more contentious, unresolved, frontier matters...

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu This is not a debate about “depth,” it’s about definition. The term is being misapplied, and nothing in your response changes that.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu “Invitation to treat” has a specific meaning in contract law, and a self introduction isn’t one. If we’re going to use legal terms, let’s use them correctly.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Homunculus Imbecile! My earlier self - introduction was an invitation to treat. But your horrendous poverty of discernment was such that you couldn't discern it. Do you even have a name to speak nothing of an intellectual reference? You are immersed in pedestrianness/ mediocrity.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu That’s a lot of theatrics, but no substance. If you have a legal point, make it. I used to have alot of your type back then in law school. Thinking vocabulary dictates intelligence. You’re nothing but a Charlatan and a pseudo-intellectual.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Your delusion has scampered to the very summit that is raving psychosis. The sole humanistic intervention that your circumstance invites is a reference for psychiatric management.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu You lack the capacity to argue law with me let alone. educating me. You have no idea my academic qualifications but still jump to display stupidity. At least do some research before coming here to display ignorance. It’s not that hard to find out what Double Jeopardy means ffs!!

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Shut up! I've over - indulged you already with my wasted time investment (in you). You are neither teachable nor educable.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu Academic titles aren’t a substitute for accuracy. Double jeopardy has a clear legal meaning, and this isn’t it. If the concern is misconduct, call it that. no need to bend legal terms to make a point. I respect his work, but definitions still matter. This isn’t double jeopardy.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu The Chidi Odinkalu that you are attempting to disparage using the anonymity of social media is a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University. He is a recognised international scholar and activist who has made significant contribution to the literature.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu No one is disputing Chidi Odinkalu’s credentials, his résumé is impressive, no doubt. The issue is the usage of a legal term. Double jeopardy is a defined legal doctrine, not a rhetorical device. If it doesn’t fit the facts, it doesn’t fit. regardless of who used it.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu It’ll be a disgrace for your so called students to see you on here displaying your ignorance so loudly. How do you teach when you’re so obstinate and willfully ignorant. Your kind are a plague to society. I put it to you that you cannot stand against me to debate on any topic!!

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Your idiocy is so blatant it rankles. I'm a First Class (1987, UNILAG) and a PhD. Please check. I'm not hiding under an alias or moniker like your creepy self. With the asininess that you have put on parade, you are not even fit to be an enrollee in a class that I teach.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu What law school did you go to? If you weren’t so dumb, you’d know not to argue about a profession you have zero knowledge about. You think having a PhD. Automatically makes you knowledgeable in all field?

@CIgbokweC @ChidiOdinkalu Why would i be afraid to point out a wrong use of a legal term? Or you think a Prof can never be wrong? He used he term “double jeopardy” in a loose, metaphorical way to suggest “the native doctor is suffering twice.” That may sound dramatic, but it’s not legally accurate.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Nna, that person asking whether Prof. Odinkalu knows the meaning of 'double jeopardy' get mind oo. Fear no catcham. A beg, which school the guy attend ?

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu What law school did you go to you fool? You think using big words you don’t know d meaning will make you seem smart, and i’m sure it wofks for your gullible circle of friends. dual-pronged liability” arising from the “aftermath” of justice is not how double jeopardy works in law.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu You're dumb/imbecilic in your rude patronage. The dual-pronged liability of Double Jeopardy need not emanate from court pronouncement; the process of criminal justice administration and its aftermath can (un)wittingly bequeath Double Jeopardy as may have happened to Akwa Okuko.

@OAdindu @ChidiOdinkalu Funny thing is you’re so clueless and arrogant about it….how can someone be this loud and wrong? Did the court try him for same offenses and pass judgment that his wife should be slept with? Ten minutes research could’ve saved you all this embarrassment. do better Obi

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu It's damnable to pair illiteracy with presumption. Rather than speculate on what I know or don't know, you should work on developing your own cognitive capacity. Only then can you recognise the Double Jeopardy in sending AkwaOkuku to jail while sleeping with his wife. Illiterate

@EgwuayuUchanna @ChidiOdinkalu “Double jeopardy” has a very specific legal meaning: being tried or punished twice for the same offence. Nothing in that situation suggests a second prosecution. Stretching legal terminology for effect doesn’t strengthen the argument, it weakens it. You need to do better Uchenna

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu Sorry prof

@Jamiescript @ChidiOdinkalu The phrase is rhetorically dramatic but Legally inaccurate.

@SaintlyExtrove1 @ChidiOdinkalu You are arguing the meaning of a legal term with a Prof of law? In this context it means the ex native doctor can't be punished twice for the same offense. He's in jail ( punishment) and someone is now sleeping with the wife ( punishment). We will write IELTS for a long time.
