Nigerian who posted rap video on YouTube glorifying gang culture jailed for 22 years

A 21 year old Nigerian named Kayode Oshin (pictured right), who uploaded a video on YouTube boasting about trying to murder a rival with a machine gun was jailed for 22 years yesterday, Daily Mail reports. His accomplice, Junior Tahir-Akinyele (pictured left) was jailed for 14 years.
"Kayode Oshin, 21, attempted to assassinate Yassin Zouaiou with a Mac 10 in a feud over drugs and money in Hounslow, west London, after being enticed into a world of gang culture and crime’, a court heard.
Mr Zouaiou survived when the gun jammed - but a single bullet was fired, hitting his brother Mohammed Ali Subhani in the neck. But Oshin then posted a rap video bragging about the shooting on YouTube.
The shooting was carried out in an alleyway between North Drive and Kingsley Road, Hounslow, at around 1am on October 6, 2011, the court heard. 

Oshin and a second man, Junior Tahir-Akinyele, 19, were arrested the next day in a white Mercedes-Benz they had hired for the attack.

Jailing Oshin for 22 years and Tahir-Akinyele for 14 years, Judge Timothy Pontius said the pair had been ‘enticed into a world of gang culture and crime’.
‘Oshin you are convicted of attempted murder, your clear intention was that Yassin Zouaiou should die,’ he added. ‘That intention would undoubtedly have been realised were it not for the fact that the mechanism on the gun jammed, releasing only one round.'

Oshin was jailed for 22 years for attempted murder; 16 years imprisonment for possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and 14 years for wounding with intent, all to run concurrent.

Tahir-Akinyele was sentenced to 14 years in a Young Offenders’ Institution for possession of firearms with intent to endanger life with 12 years concurrent for wounding with intent.

Linda, i think you got the years wrong. 22 years seems to be for just ONE of his offences.
People....did I read this correctly? Oshin got a total of 52 years? And akinyele a total of 26 years?
I totally don't agree with what they did so it serves them right to get that punishment.
But glorious nigeria...had they shot and the guy died, if oshin and akinyele have people in high places and the correct amount for bribe, they'd be Scott free roaming the streets of nigeria as though nothing happened.

God forgive me but their parents should cover their faces in shame, now i ask the parents is all that owambe party life worth it now? When ur kid will rot in jail? All that card fraud and things is it worth it? Bring up your child in the way they should grow and when they grow up they will not depart from it! Even if a lot of people miss it while in their teenage years good upbringing is still very important it allows the kids trace their ways back
