A Nigerian woman, Edigin Vivian, was yesterday sentenced to life imprisonment in Tanzania after being found guilty of trafficking drugs worth Sh289 million (N3.6m).
Justice Aishiel Sumari convicted Vivian of trafficking 797.56 grams of cocaine worth Sh39.8 million, through Kilimanjaro International Airport, KIA.

Vivian said she carried the drugs because life had become too tough for her, according to her, she had four children to look after. She, however, later said she would appeal against the sentence.
 She is lucky this did not happen in an Asian country where drug pushers are killed.

Life is difficult for you, you have four children. Are you the only one life is difficult for? Is there no genuine business you can do, rather than destroying people with hard drugs in the process of becoming rich. They should have killed you. Idiot.

[b]Nigerians have to understand and educate themselves on the laws of other countries. In most countries around the world when you break the law you will go to jail for a very long time...you can't bribe the judge or use your uncle's connection to get you off. I think the lack of the rule of law in Nigeria has blinded a lot of Nigerians. They think that other countries are like that. I have no pity for this lady, she deserve what she gets. Most people in Nigeria experiencing hard times are not busy carrying drugs to other countries[/b]
