That is why most criminals in Nigeria are moving in the street freely, because you have to spend to bring substantial evidence 4 Likes 1 Share |

This is another issue why I appreciate President Jonathan, he said in Lagos that, its better to put machinery on ground to make sure people don't have the opportunity to commit in the first instance, which I believe is better, not when somebody has already stolen we begins going to court. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Lar said: “ the conviction was secured with very limited or no funds. People are quick to celebrate the conviction of James Ibori in the United Kingdom. The truth is that to secure Ibori’s conviction, a whooping sum of £14million was expended. WoW ![]() ![]() Am sure it part of Ibori loot that was uses to prosecute him from this extracted part But Lar said the Ibori case was prosecuted at no cost to the Federal Government. 2 Likes |

Guys you all need to watch/read this interviews done by Mo Abudu for Gen Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan. Decide who to vote after the interviews as both of them spoke for 30mins on their plans and why they should be re elected. I don't know why the posts haven't made frontpage. For Buhari's interview read here; https://www.nairaland.com/2169464/ebonylive-tv-interview-gmb-why For Jonathan's interview, read here: https://www.nairaland.com/2169459/ebonylive-tv-interview-gej-why |

Excuses! Ibori got a soul slamming sentence which was in the same mould of Alams misdemeanour charge. The Nigerian courts however decided to give a questionable 2 years which was probably spent in a luxurious prison or mansion. With a 'stealing is not corruption' Government in power. The same Alams is now running for senate after a Presidential pardon. But a man that steals a goat, gets 5 years plus hard labour. Stop deceiving your selves. 14 Likes |

Lies! They should give a breakdown of how the £14m was spent and where the money came from. The United Kingdom was the government that secured Ibori's conviction (he broke UK's AML &BC laws) and he is currently being jailed at the expense of UK taxpayers like myself, so I don't understand how EFCC would have spent £14m to "convict" Ibori. Bunch of liars! If they claim to have spent that much, then how much did UK's government spend to secure the conviction of Ibori, his lawyer (who helped in concealing the funds), his wife and his mistress? ![]() I expect Ibori to be tried and convicted by a competent court in Nigeria and then sent to a Nigerian prison for Bribery, Corruption and Money Laundering. Only then can EFCC boast of spending any money on his "conviction". ![]() **modified** So apparently he brought up the money spent on Ibori's conviction by the UK government to justify the budget for EFCC? ![]() ![]() It's obvious they are looking for justification so as to get a fat budget which we all know will end in private bank accounts. 7 Likes |

After Yar'Adua was selected as their presidential candidate, Ibori was accused of bank-rolling Yar'Adua's 2007 camapaign, and promised a Vice-Presidential position in return. But after Yar'Adua died in office, Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan succeeded Yar'Adua, an avowed political opponent of Ibori Imagine if this guy had become president? This country would have become poorer than Bangladesh ![]() On December 17, 2009, A Federal High Court sitting in Asaba, Delta State, discharged and acquitted Ibori of all 170 charges of corruption brought against him by EFCC Unbelievable On Tuesday, April 17, 2012, Ibori was sentenced to 13 years by Southwark Crown Court for his crimes.[38][39] Among possessions confiscated were:[38] but still we see these politicians on the street and we hail them like they are our kings not knowing that we are in fact the real kings and their employers.

Nigerians are the problems with themselves! Quote me anywhere, Nigerians have the highest number of bloody hypocrites in the world when it comes to the corruption. It is only in Nigeria, That you see somebody touting an anti-corruption slogan and he is still cutting corners in his office, displaying greed all over the place. How do you expect CHANGE when you are part and parcel of corruption? Change your ways! Corruption can only be eradicated when you and I are involved. 3 Likes |
