The use of lethal injection to kill criminals only came to effect last August when the first victim was killed through the process.
According to informed sources, more than 10 Nigerians may have been secretly silenced by the Vietnamese government for hard drug offenses and other related offenses in the past year.
Vietnam in 2011 suspended public Execution by firing squad as it has always relied on carrying out capital punishment to deal with all criminals flouting her drug law.
According to sources, the country had a gap of two years from 2011 during which they perfected all plans for the new law on lethal injection and during the time, made efforts to procure chemicals for lethal injections production.
Only last August, Vietnam executed its first prisoner by the method.
In 2011.an appeal by emn-news.com to the Federal government of Nigeria to enter into negotiation with the government of Vietnam so that erring Nigerians in the country could be spared of incessant execution was never taken seriously.
The appeal followed the pending execution of one Michael Ikenna Nduanya, another Nigerian youngster who was committed to death for drug trafficking in Vietnam. Michael’s Vietnamese wife, who was an accomplice in the drug deal, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Michael fell prey to the first group of drug pushers who was killed by lethal injection. But briefly after his sentence was handed, the new law was put forward for deliberation and his fate was then suspended because the law changed since July of that year. He was sentenced in March of that year as deliberations were on-going on the use of lethal injection.
It was the contention of the government that lethal injection would be a more dignifying death for drug criminals than firing squad.
As news of Nduanya’s death sentence broke out in 2011, Nigerians across the world called on the Nigerian Federal government to make concerted effort to negotiate his life with the communist government of Vietnam.
He was then described as one of the victims of Nigerian government’s youth neglect with millions wasting away due to unemployment and lack of motivation for self-employment due to non-provision of infrastructures.
Responding to the call for a more caring attitude by the Nigerian government towards the citizens outside the country, the Senate leader, David Mark said then that Nigerians who engage in criminal offenses outside the country deserve to die because of their act. His view was seen by many as an act of contempt towards the nation’s constitution as it preserved the live of Nigerians both home and abroad. Many even pointed out to the fact that power nations always protect their own especially considering the image tainting such situation might bring to the country.
culled EM-News*sad sad sad!
Truly sad. Y can't people just do legitimates business especially when you know you aren't in your own country. If only Nigerians will learn from this...

Has anyone else noticed that when the post is about Ibos or other tribes doing something bad,no "Tribalistic card" is played.
SO its obvious who the tribalistic people are!
On the Dilly mottors post,no tribalistic person showed face,now I'm waiting, the two names mentioned here are peculiar to people of the said tribe,which is the "host" of the largest population of these Tribalistic maggots,yeye people...hypocrites!
As for these guys and many others that were not reported,I hope u make heaven!sorry,I know people have different levels of endurance and they turn to crime,but they should think of the end game!
Our govt is useless sha,gosh!

ReplyDeleteThe lethal injection fits the crime!
DeleteJust as he who kills by the sword should die by the sword,so should he who kills' with the drugs,die by the drugs!
Its well
ReplyDeleteSo sad! Stop pushing drugs pple! But u guys get mind. We all know that Asians has zero tolerance 4 drug trafficking, but u pple still go there n do that, knowing when u r caught no miracle will save u. Our govt r busy settling themselves by looting n u want them to go n fight 4 Nigerians abroad. See how this young men life will be wasted. Sad!
ReplyDeleteAunty Stella, this kain news on a monday morning is saddening o...I will cast the blame on the people and the government o...if they are good welfare for the youths, the will never engage in such an act of peddling hard drugs..but that is not enough reason to carry drugs into those communist nations because they hate and harbor it...he should just commit his life to Christ...as He is our hope to glory...
ReplyDeleteThe best welfare system in the world is America and Uk and yet their citizens still push drugs. In as much as the Nigerian govenment is not living up to expectation, to commit crime is a personal choice that is always prompted by greed. A lot of people in Nigeria suffer from abject poverty and cannot even afford two good meals per day and yet they didn't go into crime. Let's not blame the governent for anyone's free will and choices. I really feel sorry for him.
Delete@ Dr Pinch......Well said.
DeleteHe did kill anybody na! All he did ws deal in drugsm i dont think d crime is commensurate with d punishment
ReplyDeleteDeevee
Nd d drugs didn't kill anybody Abi????
DeleteSee rubbish talk. So hard drugs don't kill abi?
DeleteIts obvious,you're dumb. Don't u know that ppl die from overdose of drugs.
DeleteIt is clearing written on the Visa most especially the Malaysian Visa but they wouldn't listen.

This is Said,the price he's paying is toohuge for that crime, I'm Sad
ReplyDeleteu went to carry drugs in a place like vietnam, as far as im concerned u wanted to die. nigerians dont learn. things are hard everywhere, not only in nigeria.im in d uk, looking for a job everyday, does not mean i will resort to carrying drugs because i just know it is outright stupid. its just so sad that wen it comes to drug peddling and kidnapping, our igbo men are at d forefront.. really really sad!
ReplyDeleteStupid comment and ur yoruba tribe don't carry drug here in london and commit credit card scam. U guys will live the real issue and divert to tribal card. Every Nigeria tribe got issues with crime so what the d f..k re u talking abt? So the kidnapping that is committed in lagos by ur bros re committed by ibos right? Nonsense lousy people.
DeleteWell, that is what happen's when you go to another man's country and break their laws, i don't feel sorry for this people at all.
ReplyDeletePls soften ur heart,its not their fault.its get rich or try dying syndrome.some people believe wots the point of living without money.the govt cantt help anybody but them selves n pockets.I feel sad.
DeleteDrug pushing is one of the most terrible crimes one can commit. If one looks at the effect of drugs on the users, you'll know that death is an appropriate penalty for anyone involved in it. It destroys families, renders the users useless to themselves and their families and eventually kills them.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel sorry for these men. They were simply being greedy and wanted a short cut to becoming rich. There are more dignified, though difficult ways of making money and that is the path people should tow.
Thank u jare. And dey will be forming rich man when dey come bak home. Nonsense! Drugs? 4 wat na? Atleast others will learn
DeleteWhat is making you sad SDK? Because it happened in another country? If he was caught dealing drugs in 9ja and sentenced appropriately would you be sad? Stop feeling sad for criminals of Nigerian decent because they feel justified with your sympathy. The Edo State government executed a man a few months ago. His crime? Entered into the home of a business women, robbed her, raped her, then inserted a bottle deep into her virgina, killing her. You expect me to feel sorry for such a bastard? Please don't feel sorry for Nigerians who never learn from the mistakes of others and go out there becoming really stupid. The more we condemn this act, the more sensible they'll be.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8:57am , Yes he may not have killed anyboby with his physical hands but those drugs have destroyed a lot of good life and even killed some because these drugs were made available on the streets by people like him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not condemning him. I pray he doesn't get to die that way, hope the Govt can do something for him soon.
My question is this....u accuse drug peddlers, drug kills and all dat...dem force person to use drugs? If parents don't give solid moral training to their children and youths learn to enforce self discipline and will power over such vices den drug peddlers go close shop. Let's be objective here and quit de self judgement os de drug peddlers. For the convicted guy, my prayer is that you find peace with God and repent before de injection does its job...

DeleteStella my dear do you know that selling of pure water.gives a lot of money.? But people will not want to try this weeeeell.if one fails to plan definitely he/she is planning to fail. NIGERIANS LET'S WISEN UP
ReplyDeletePlease people I beg of you,Irrespective of the crime no one has the right to say he deserves to die. What he did was wrong I agree but it is not our place to say he deserves to die. Politicians steal money every day, roads are bad people get into accidents and die, the aviation industry is shit,planes crash due to people looking the other way and taking envelops under the table.Are these people any better than him? Ibori stole billions and I mean billions that could have been used to send people to school, provide health care. People die everyday from poor medical care can u say Ibori deserves to die? A friend of mine was in kuje prison over the weekend and met a man who has been there for over 2years awaiting trial because he stole a goat..Yes a goat. Prisons are there to reform people. Nigerian Government is blind,Nigerians are blind. No one is more righteous.We need to be purged in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this comment, I pity people who say they deserve to die. If it was there sibling or child would they not plead for mercy.
DeleteI swear I am also deeply saddened for them. Yes they did wrong, but looking at him makes me think....if Jesus were here present, this is the time He would have interjected and perhaps pleaded Mercy for them. He would have mediated for pardon...
DeleteHowever, in the days of Jesus, a lot died by the sword. Matter of fact the killings that took place, as recorded in the bible, was always merciless. Instant judgment, no sentiments..pronto pronto. Which was the same judgment that nailed Jesus to the cross .
Baba Suwe and his colleagues should thank their stars that the corruption in their country (Nigeria) is why they walk free today. See this one now, who will he bribe??
But the problem I have with EVERY drug dealer, Nigerian, American, Briton..etc...is that they don't know when to STOP. They never do...and more amazing is that the ones that choose to stop often die soon after. People, HARD DRUG is a spirit itself, just like money. Its is very tempting and its the vice that comes btw friends, relations, countries, etc. People who deal in drugs are never compassionate. They are always hardened. Otherwise why would any sane person swallow drugs to transport it when they are aware of the risks, which can take their own lives should anything go wrong?
For these ones I plead mercy from God. And I hope that a miracle will prevent them from this pattern of execution so soon.
Na wa o! When anything happens in dis country its always d govt we blame. Evryday I see my country pple workin nd sweatin I pray 4 dem nd wish dem well but som pple just want quick shapshap illegal money nd u think d govt is at fault.

ReplyDeleteI dont understand why the federal govt should intervene. these guys dont learn and they wont stop, he needs to be hung drawn and quartered for the heinous crime. it is simple, dont peddle drugs in our territory, if you do, you die. it is clear and outhere in black and white.
ReplyDeleteThey know the consequences of their actions na.who does know that death awaits anyone who is caught doing drugs in Asian countries? He should go and enjoy his millions on the other side. Hissssss
ReplyDelete@ fearless u jst spoke my mind, if it was to be a yoruba man u will see hw they will be flexing their muscles,bt I don't blame them, Yoruba pple have gone far above them, dats Y they are pained, as long as u keep hating the pple ahead of u, u will never be progress in life.

@Fearless, you trying to start something? No one mentioned anything. If I were you, I'd just think it and let it go. Mentioning it and then insulting them (thereby stooping to the level of a tribalist makes you a...yep, you got it!)
ReplyDeleteAs for the post, I have nothing to say but may God have mercy. The whole thing ma don tire me. I blame no one. Young men and women, please stop chasing wealth that can lead to your death. Heck, everything is a risk but this path is just nonsensical. Unfortunately, we have too many that made it through and they are living the life in Naija....employing these young boys to try out their luck. So sad.
I noticed it on a lot of posts before commenting okay!

Story that touches
You guys all attacking fearless are stupid. Is he or she lying? if this post were about a yoruba man commiting crime and dying, mostly igbos would come on here condemning the WHOLE tribe for soiling naijas name and not feeling sorry for the man that is being killed or even commenting on the fact that a NIGERIAN did wrong. It would have been about the WHOLE yoruba tribe. Anyways yourbas are too accomodating and nice i swear cos i dont know why they keep tolerating the ibosAnnoying tribe oshi....

DeletePls Nigeria fight for ur people. When it's an American their whole nation fights for their life. Are we so worthless or what??? I pray for his life to be spared.
ReplyDeleteFight 4 gini? Abegi......are they babies? Don't dey know d consequence of their actions? Since our govt is nt capable again oyinbo pple will continue to help us punish d offenders naa. Don't do or sell drug na simple english!
Deletethese people didn't create the punitive punishment form drug smuggling out of hatred for Nigeria or foreigners,i have not been to that region before but anyone who has been there including a BBC documentary showing children as young as 11yrs old already hooked on drugs many with brain damages will realise the impact.
ReplyDeletedrugs have destroyed a whole generation and starting on the next generation in the vietnam,indonesia,malaysia e.t.c destroying hundreds of thousands.
anyone familiar with chicago drug situation of the 1980s and 1990s knows the destruction drug smuggling caused in the ghettos and black community till today more than 20years they are still reeling from it.drugs doesn't only destroy people it destroys a whole community
.anyone who justifies drug smuggling with the situation in Nigeria should ask themselves if death by firing squad or lethal injection is a better alternative.
Vietnam hate igbo people too, just like Fashola... why? maybe because Igbos have the mansion and businesses in Vietnam. God dey sha
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaaaat! Upon all d issue wey dey ground na mansion and business u sabi talk? So drug trafficking is a legitimate business abi? Well I am nt too surprised

DeleteFearless for a regular here I'm thoroughly disappointed by your comment, superior argument? Haba! How is calling folks from a certain tribe "maggots" superior? Why call them "fools" too? For someone who looks forward to reading intelligent comments from you most times, all I've got to say is "Walahi" you fall hand! I'm still shuddering at the thought that someone that sounds as smart as you do would deal the "tribal card" *shudder*
ReplyDeleteThat clearly shows hw low yorubas reason .....even d very intelligent ones.......
Delete@ Catherine, you are obviously not a "Catherine Kleist"
ReplyDeleteDrug dealing is bad, especially going to country that do not tolerate drug. I am sure those country that do not tolerate such act have high margin if drug dealing materialize. The people of Vietnamese more likely love drug use. On the other side, most of these guys caught in the act were sent by someone else or whatever might be the case. I ask the government of Vietnamese to rather ship them back to Nigeria and if they happen to come back to do the same business. They can do whatever they want from them for not learning the first time. I ask the Gov of Vietnamese to easy up on first offenders. Lastly, Would like to use this opportunity to ask the Nigerian especially the Ibos to take easy on their unhealthy way of looking for this green paper. Lets educate our people that there are many other way to make money legit money. I am Ibo and understand what those victim are thinking or what might have pushed them to such act. Igbu ozu is old news guys. Do it in healthy way. Please Gov of Vietnamese please have mercy and ship them back to Nigeria instead of killing them. Please.
ReplyDeleteTo all of you who claim that these men have committed an act equivalent to murder, I have one question. If these men are selling a dangerous product and deserve to die for it, what of the people who sell cigarettes, alcohol, and guns? Surely you ought to call for all their deaths, lest you should be seen as hypocrites.
