whatever d time in prison, when he finally comes out, he'll be referred to as an ex-convict...d stigma isn't a small tin; ask bode george, he understands better

40 years for a whole professor? that's very bad o. it will really affect our educational standard. why not jail politicians instead. they are of no use to the country

afonja have no respect for public funds

hmmmmm, the Prof was not sharp enough, he should have entered plea bargain.

True and just justice and judgment is a characteristic of good country. By this God will be happy with us and other criminals will be afraid and stop criminality less they too be caught and imprisoned.
So also let all the looters be prosecuted and let those among them that are convicted be punished by imprisonment.

joeaz58:
all dis one bad oooo. afonja..

But you won't see a single afonja carrying placard and protesting, chanting "he is our son", or "chanting persecution".

40yrs! That's ridiculous

Your people do? I guess that's why your region is better than the rest of the Nigeria.

You're so pained? Am not a tribalist. Just to wake idlers like you.

GogobiriLalas:
40yrs! That's ridiculous

Judges would send looters to two years imprisonment, we would be shouting that judges are corrupt. Now, 40 years for N177 million, you called it ridiculous.. Don't you think we need ridiculously high handed sentences in Nigeria to discourage public officials from looting and embezzlements.

Of course, you wouldn't see yourself as one. I did respond to your comment, remember? Not the other way round.

HisSexcellency:

This judgment should have been delivered at last month, so that Mr President can include it in his October 1st speech.


Fight against corruption is taking shape little by little. I'm afraid that this judgment maybe appealed and delayed at a higher Court

This is an achievement for EFCC not Buhari since the convict is not a high-ranking politician.

AJOBI77:
Isn't he part of the "First" Professors Listed yesterday?

All you had to do is check the list instead of implanting false information
into people's mind.

Iamzik:

Aiit!!
Pls kindly explain how an agric prof that steals 177m meant for agric research n devpt is good for the country?

Dis onez no get handz. Were Gej wit 9.8b$? Him de flex.

I'm sure the entire staff of IAR&T will be glad to hear this news.After series of strike and agitation on radio program,especially Voices on splash FM, when Edmond Obilo was the anchor.
All efforts by Edmond to hear from that Prof proved abortive,typical of arrogant being displayed by most of our big men in this clime.
Instead, he used thug and policemen to harass the innocent staff asking for their legitimate right.

yam eater deserves 100 years imprisonment

Lets see how many yrs jail term the likes of metu and dasuki will get.

GetMeRight:

And Diezani and Dasuki are?

PDP members

40yrs is too small nw

thorpido:
I wonder how his family will feel now.A good name and integrity is still of great value.

We don't value a good name in Nigeria.

Man lost in court cos he's not a politician.

caesaraba:
Lovely. That's the way it should be. Corrupt officials must pay a heavy fine for financial crimes. I only wish judgements like these should be more swift.

Heavy fine you say?

It's just about 2 and a half years jail term..

17 count charges and 40 years imprisonment with jail term running concurrently means the total jail term is for the 17 charges and since they run concurrently, he will be serving the term for each charge together...

40 years / 17 charges = 2.something

Nope...only makes the stakes higher, what you need is a system of reward for whistle blowers...and recovery of looted funds...jail is good too but not too long.

5,000 Naira option of fine

Almost all government parastatals is riddled with mind blowing corruption scandals

Only makes the stakes higher? Whatever that means.
Life sentences would be the perfect kind of judgement for looters. This is not the kind of Nigeria I would dream and only one thing is responsible for it. And death sentence too.

Wickedness.
When will deizani, mama piece n co bag their own jail. It should be 1000yrs because they stole billions.
10yrs don do 4 these one now.
