I am not a northerner or a supporter of Bihari administration because he is a failure.
But looking for a northerner or Muslim to be jailed first before a Christian or southerner is jailed is very wrong.
Anyone who steals should be jailed, former of governor of plateau state is in jail now.

That former governor of Plateau State is also a Christian!
Na Christians dem dey use shine.

Nice one. But when will Buhari jail northern muslims politicians who have looted this country to stupor? The whole world knows that northern muslims have looted and raped this country more than any other group of people, yet none of them have been convicted. Even Dasuki, I learnt it was fueled mainly by personal vendetta, as he once arrested Buhari in their younger days in the army? The two governors convicted in the north are not muslims. What a coincidence in the largely muslim north?

Atiku Bagudu, Gandollars, Mai deribe, etc, when do we get to see them in handcuffs?

Can anyone name any top Northern politician who is a MUSLIM who has been convicted and sentenced by Buhari.....

Mention any former governor or federal Minister.

Before some of you will come here to rant like an ant.

I am not against jailing corrupt politicians. I dont know Metu or Orji Kalu.

I just wonder why No Northern Muslim of such status is in Jail. 2 former governors tried and jailed are christians

Note: I have no time to reply all low lives replying me. I said mention anyone convicted and people are screaming Dasuki. Was Dasuki convicted? Is Jolly Nyame a Nothern Muslim?

People are asking me if Buhari is the judge, No He is not the judge...No judge brings the accuse to court its the machinery with an agenda that charges them to those courts not the judges.

Those of you saying my post is divisive should know that Nigeria has been divided by Buhari already. Its a matter of time. Its a matter of time.

LOL... Olisa Metuh was first arrested by the EFCC on this matter on January 5, 2015 while Jonathan was still in power - way before Buhari got into power. That's probably all those arguing like you need to know regarding the case.

And, in most cases, even as you go through the conspiracy pains you so profess here, just console yourself with the truism that the wheel of justice grinds slooooowwwwwly anyways; so, what goes around, comes around...

You never know what investigation is on already. You never know who's next. Be patient and stop tribal bullshit.

They are jailed because they are found guilty, period. Enough of this tribal sentiment and allow law enforcement to do their job.

My Brother.
At the inception of this administration, the President asked any one that has Government money in his possession return whatever you can, or else the government agency will come and get it from you.
There was a record taking from Dasuki's office, where he listed all those that received money from him from the Security fund approved by the House of Assembly to equip the Millitary in fighting insurgency.
Many returned what they can and make promissory notes.
Others, refuse to voluntarily hand out theres.
You heard of Musilu Obanikoro, Chief Omisore, Vhief Falae, This Day proprietor, Chief Obasanjo etc. Returned what they can and others like FFK, Dokpesi, Methu, Fayose, etc!!!!

https://www.channelstv.com/2020/02/25/breaking-court-sentences-olisa-metuh-to-seven-years-in-prison-after-four-year-trial/

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Olisa Metuh, to seven years in prison.

Justice Okon Abang handed down the sentence in his judgement on Tuesday on seven counts of money laundering and criminal diversion of funds to the tune of N400 million.

The charges were filed against Metuh and his company, Destra investment, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The trial judge sentenced Metuh after convicting him and found him guilty of all the charges brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

This followed a protracted trial of the former PDP spokesman which lasted about four years and witnessed a series of drama and adjournment over health-related matters.

Giving his judgement, Justice Abang sentenced Metuh to seven years imprisonment in respect to Counts One to Three.

On Count Four, the PDP spokesman was sentenced to five years while he got seven, three and seven years for Counts Five, Six, and Seven respectively.

He, however, held that all the sentences should run concurrently, with effect from February 25, 2020.

Meaning, the sentence shall run concurrently which implies that he would only spend the highest number of years of jail term, which is seven, in prison.

The trial judge also sentenced Dextra Investment to pay a fine of N25 million with respect to Counts Five and Six, while Metuh was also ordered to pay a fine of N375 million.

Justice Abang further ordered that the account of Dextra Investment should be forfeited to the Federal Government and the company be dissolved.

While Buhari held the chief supervisor of all looters who is a northerner and a core Muslim adherence, was it not you southerners and mostly Christians southerners that pressurised for released? Even your political magazine, the so-called Punch newspaper was used by you people to call Buhari with unprintable names.
why can't y'all for once use ur brain!!! is Dasuki more important to Christians than orji uzor kalu yet did any Christian make noise about Kalu's conviction?? why imprison Dasuki without proper court processes!!! atleas let him face the court if found guilty, convict him. Your president is a dumb illiterate who took Dasuki issue too personal by even flouting court orders.. know the difference please

This is the problem with Christianity right here in Nigeria.

Now, Islam in Nigeria too has this problem, but since this one talk Christian.

Why should a Christian steal?

Why should Christian leaders join in the looting and corruption?

Why should Christian followers too do their corrupt activities?

We are in all sorts of problems as a country because people are Christians on Sunday and satanists the rest of the week.

Don't justify evil. Agreed, Buhari is a bad leader and agreed there is partiality. But there are more Christian leaders free who are corrupt than there are who are in jail.

And there are millions of Christians suffering because some Christian leaders like Metuh and Kalu loot and loot and offer no visionary leadership!

Many have died because of bad Christian leaders. And you and the 200 people who liked your post are a big part of the problem. You clap for them when they are stealing and call those of us who complain treasonous fellows..

See how the mess a Christian leaders in the last admin led to Buhari! Would Buhari have been here if Christians had been Christians and done the right thing at all times?

Same goes for all the Muslims reading this. Why should a Muslim steal, why should theiving Muslim leaders be allowed to walk free, and why should Muslim leaders be doing the wrong thing?

Zamfara that declared Shariah is a mess now. Rivers state that declared Christian state is a centre of antichristian activity. And we still clap

See how we have Boko, kidnapping, cultisim and all sorts of vices because people are Christians by mouth (or Muslims by mouth)
