Father takes son to court for idleness
LAGOS (Reuters) - A father took his 20-year old son to an Islamic court in northern Nigeria for idleness, asking that he be sent to prison for refusing to engage in productive activities, state news agency NAN said Friday.
"He is not listening to words and he is bringing shame to my family. I am tired of his nefarious deeds. Please put this boy in prison so that I can be free," Sama'ila Tahir, a market trader in the northeastern town of Bauchi, was quoted as saying. Tahir told the court that his son had refused to go to school and accused him of belonging to a criminal gang.
The court sentenced the son to six months in prison and 30 strokes of the cane, which were immediately administered on the premises, for being disobedient to his parents, NAN said.

Holy crap. WTF?
that is horrible :o
The world is made of stupid that isn't funny. Makes me almost grateful that america isn't at this level yet..
This is too fucked up for any words.
Siz months in prison and 30 strokes of the cane just for not going to school? What has the world come to?
The article doesn't even say he was sentenced to jail for not going to school, it says it sentenced him for not engaging in "productive" activities. And, for that matter, I declare the court motherfucking cunts with their heads up their asses and pray to god they never meet me IRL. Even if he was sentenced to prison for not going to school that would still be fucking unacceptable and ridiculous beyond comprehension.
this world has offically come to an end...or at least very very near to one
this is total bullshit,
although in many countries like that not being productive is taken a lot more seriously because their lives depend on working hard for the family etc., but this is still ridiculous. where did you get the source for the article?
It's from Reuters.
