‘Pelu awa oshere’, mean Yorubahood is in on it! I guess it’s safe to say yorubahood is the abode of Pedophiles. Cool!

Bail doesnt mean he has been discharged and acquitted. So all this celebration is for what exactly? 
You still going to court.

For those of you who thinks it’s getting swept under the rug! No! Him getting bail doesn’t mean he’s been acquitted! It only means he will be going to court from his house and not prison !

Bail doesn’t mean you’re free. It’s just a temporary freedom while awaiting trail. If found guilty, next will be sentencing and prison. All these thank you sir, is a waste of time. No knowledge of the legal process.
