It is clear that our present penal codes are obsolete and unable to serve the vital purpose of deterrence. Those in position to redress this critical defect are not in any hurry and not even willing to do the needful for understandable reasons.You know it only takes split seconds to make and amend legal provisions in favour of their private pockets. Allover,we have bunches of hypocrites parading the corridors of power in Nigeria. Even the elites outside government who have potential to influence a change have no motivation in this regard because they too are "waiting for their time" sometime soon. Nigeria stinks and so, Nigeria sinks! |

People fail to notice that EFFC itself may be complicit in this wuruwuru case - why would did they charge the accused under a "lenient" section? |

Black Peni5: Our current democratic experiment began in 1999. The PDP has been in control of the Federal government since then. When have they made any serious effort to reform critical sectors/parastatals/organisations like the judiciary, NNPC, Nigerian Police force et al? Can you logically fault the argument that it is wrong and self-destructive for PDP Presidents, one after the other, to continue going for crooks as AGF/Minister of justice for a critical sector long overdue for reform? Furthermore, how does it help things for any us to be obsessing over when a problem began? Is considerations no longer about those currently in charge seeking solutions? When those who are in charge then deliberately worsen the problem with the woeful appointments they make, what point are you getting at here talking of the ACN and toll payment? How is that relevant to how PDP Presidents deliberately , and of their own free will, ignore great dsiciples of the law to choose blunt and ineffective tools as AGF/Minister of justice thereby rendering efforts to reform the judiciary 'dead on arrival'? Like I always say, we can all have our biases and affiliations. What I find incredible is the way some Nigerians have uniquely distinguished our Nation as one where grown adults are unable to call a spade a spade and likely to ignore factual/logical submissions to begin arguing emotionally. |

The point here is that CORRUPT high personified beings appoint CORRUPT officers into CORRUPT offices to fight CORRUPT citizens and the CORRUPTION on itself. Can u ever expect this to work and if yes, where do u expect it to start from and where does it end? It's like trying to catch ur own shadow wch u know is impossible. Until we are ready to fight corruption with her bare hands (forget judiciary), then we are not ready to get rid of corruption in dis country. |

jidejoseph: But falane is a big lawyer he can chalenged the judgement and people like dino melaye and gbenga aruleba should bring the case on air with the inspector general of police efcc icpc What do we have an AGF/minister of justice for? To idly file his nails daily while Falana and co outside government perform his duty for him? Judicial reform , and the setting of good precedence, begins with the AGF/minister of justice. Get that appointment wrong and everything is a waste of time. Do we have such a memory deficit we all cannot remember how Aondoakaa, only yesterday, went around openly abetting criminality, corruption and delivering 'justice' for his warped paymasters like Ibori? There is virtually nothing anyone can do if we have an AGF fully dedicated to abetting the status quo. |

This is why I made it clear that those blaming Jonathan for corruption in Nigeria are either naive or ignorant. Corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of the Nigeria, from the executive to the Legislative to the Judiciary, the language of "chop I chop" is well spoken and well understood by all and sundry. Take Farouk for example, a story was published that the night he was supposedly detained, the man slept in his house. Police men were drafted to follow home, where he slept and then, they all went back to the station in the morning. Our law enforcement agents, our judiciary officers, our prison officers, etc are all involved. WE need to look into the issue, it is not just about arresting, prosecuting and sentencing, our system is designed for corruption! There are no two ways about it. What is our national ideology? Do we have nation builders? Do we have patriots? This is a nation where parents "buy" admission for the children, pay "mercenaries" to write exam for their children, and yet expect our "tomorrow" to have great leaders.The day we decide to tell our selves the truth so that we can restructure, is the day the journey to a New Nigeria will start. For now, we cn sit behind our computers and blame Jonathan! 1 Like |

omiobo: Look, ignore characters like that. They are losers and clannish twerps who will never in their worthless lives be able to call a spade a spade. Have I lied that PDP Presidents have a penchant for deploying crooks and immoral mediocrities as AGF? Do we not have principled, upright disciples of the law more fitting for such an office in a Nation that badly needs comprehensive and thorough judicial reform? Who should be the arrowhead or champion of such reforms if not the AGF? When President after Presidents deliberately shun principled men to go for crooked charlatans and extortionist, is it not only clannish sycophants who will defend the self-destructive appointments of such Presidents? Whatever ethnic group or Political Party we are associated with should not blind us to the concept of how it should still be round pegs for round holes as solid base to lay reform foundation upon. That is what is responsible for the progress we enviously see others making yet lack the mindset and unity to demand for in Nigeria. Instead Nigeria appears doomed with how it is clannish folks, dedicated to ethnicity and sectional bias, arguing against the simple principle that you cannot deliver reform using the wrong tool same as it is utterly ridiculous trying to cut a vastly overgrown lawn with a pair of small scissors. There are some things, regardless of ethnic or sectional affiliations, we should all agree over. For example, we can all agree the President who deploys a crook as AGF is not serious about judicial reform. |

Gbawe: The problem I have with you ACN folks is that you turn everything into a political campaign and have no true love for Nigeria. Simple questions for you: 1. Why have the opposition never sponsored bills to change these laws? 2. Do the opposition have to wait for them to produce a president to sponsor these bills? No matter the party in power in the USA, the opposition will always raise and try to push through, bills that reflect their ideology, whether they are passed on not. That is what they actually use in their campaign to come back to power. 3. Why have the opposition never implemented or championed anti-corruption laws and projects in their controlled states. Their states are as corrupt as any PDP states and sometimes even more as they perpetuate a one man rule system. 4. Why are opposition members of NASS part and parcel of the corruption in the NASS? They are all represented in all the corrupt committees in the house of reps and have never raised objections to corruption. I would have expected them to expose the ruling party practices in the house and actually use that as springboards to gain public acceptance, but they have chosen instead to be part and parcel of the corruption and only come out to say GEJ is corrupt when they want to do a political campaign. So when you say PDP must go, I wonder what you mean. Which PDP? Go where? In the last two presidential elections, ACN has presented two former PDP persons as their presidential candidates. In 2007, ACN presented Atiku Abubarkar, one of the biggest thieves in Nigeria, as their presidential candidate. In 2011, the ACN again presented a former PDP person as their presidential candidate and the ACN leader was in Aso rock to make a deal with PDP and collect agunje. How are they going to now fight corruption? The last governorship candidate for ACN in Akwa Ibom state was a former PDP senator who for 8 good years, did nothing in the senate but collect money. The list can go on and on. Even the twitter warlord El Rufai was a former PDP corrupt politician who sold lands in Abuja to his cronies. Are these the alternative that would fight corruption? The antidote to good governance is pressure from the people, not your proposed exchange of kettle with pot! Most of you keep showing yourselves up as party members doing early campaign in 2013 rather than concerned Nigerians who would love to see a new and a changed Nigeria! Sad! 1 Like |
