Gud go dey catch dem one by one

Hope somebody is learning some lessons

Most people dont even know the facts bout this issuse, Unna just they yarn. The house took a joint decision to increase salaries of which neither bankole nor his deputy got an increase. They also decided to collect the loan. So all this sahara bullshit that he stole $1b is all media speculation, Banky is gonna come out clean from this!!, Waziri is jus flexing muscles.!!

Mbakwe, ex-Imo governor, dies at 73
By Collins Obibi and Fred Okoror (Lagos) and Charles Ogugbuaja (Owerri)

SECOND Republic Governor of Old Imo State, Chief Sam Onunaka Mbakwe, is dead.

The Guardian learnt that he died on Monday in his Avutu country home in Obowu Local Government Council of the state.

Popularly called the "weeping governor," the late politician was a prominent disciple of foremost nationalist, the late Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe.

One of the early callers to the residence was chieftain of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

Although details of the former governor's death were not disclosed by the family yesterday, The Guardian learnt that he returned to Nigeria from a medical treatment in Germany at the weekend.

When his health deteriorated further, a family source said, the former governor refused to go to hospital for further treatment. "In the process, he gave up the ghost," the source added.

The late Mbakwe was renowned for his political dexterity. After his exit from office as governor, the legal practitioner proceeded to pursue a doctorate degree in political science. He had two wives, Florence Nwaevuru and Victoria Aheilepeya, two sons and five daughters.

The Special Adviser to the incumbent Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, Chief George Ugwu confirmed the death in a telephone interview with The Guardian.

Mbakwe was widely commended for nurturing the young Imo State in 1979 to prominence.

He assumed the mantle of leadership of the state on October 1, 1979, barely three years after its creation by the military in 1976.

With the state virtually lacking infrastructure, Mbakwe settled down quickly to the task of governance, mobilising the people and their resources to facilitate its development.

In Owerri, the state capital, Mbakwe completed the asphalttarring of all the roads started by the military administration in a very short period.

He extended the same measure to other roads in Aba and Umuahia, two towns noted for commercial activities in the state.

Mbakwe was among Second Republic governors that built state universities. The state university adopted a multi-campus concept to cater for the increasing number of candidates who could not secure admission in federal universities.

A humble politician, he was also not found wanting in the industrialisation of the state.

His administration adopted a zonal arrangement to ensure an even spread of industries in the young state.

The Aluminum Smelter Plant in Inyishi and paint factory, Abor-Mbaise, Avutu Poultry Farm and others were all the products of this policy.

The Amaraku Power plant, which the succeeding military regime later sold was also built by Mbakwe's administration.

Mbakwe started championing the cause of his people after the civil war.

As a lawyer, he handled several suits on the famous "Abandoned Property" saga in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and other places.

The politician became known as the weeping governor when in Lagos, then seat of the Federal Government, he took the plight of his people to the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings. At several meetings, Mbakwe, unable to hold back his emotions, wept over the dwindling fortunes of the Igbo.

The more he wept and was consoled, the more the people loved him.

His passion for the electorate gave him a second term ticket until the military struck in 1983.

He had his primary education at Avutu Primary School in 1937 and attended Teachers Training College, Oleh, Isoko between 1946-47.

In 1952, he proceeded to Fourah Bay College, Sierra-Leone for his higher education.

He later attended the University of Manchester, England, between 1953-56, from where he proceeded to the University of Hull, England from 1956-58. In pursuit of his legal education, he sought and obtained admission to the Inns of Court School, London between 1958-59.

The other universities he attended were the School of African and Oriental Studies, University of London; University of Nigeria Nsukka and University of Lagos. He was called to the Lincoln's Inn, English Bar, London in 1959. Thereafter, he returned to Nigeria to practise law in Port Harcourt in the same year (1959).

Mbakwe began his journey into politics in 1978 when he was made a member of the Constituent Assembly.

He was elected Executive Governor of old Imo State on the platform of the defunct Nigerian People's Party (NPP).

In the wake of the aborted Third Republic, he had a stint with the then Social Democratic Party (SDP).

While in active politics, he was generally a controversial figure. One such instance was when he recommended that only politicians seeking public office who had prison experience would be best suited to contest leadership positions in the country.

Addressing supporters of the National Unity Club (NUC) in Aba in September 1995, he advised aspiring politicians to go into prison custody "even for one day," apparently to taste what hardship and discipline is all about.

"If you have not been in prison before, that will be your baptism and qualification. You will learn from the prison yard that not all those in detention are criminals," he stated.

One other controversial period of his life was when he resigned from active politics in annoyance in March 1993 during the countdown to the June 1993 general elections. Chief Mbakwe, reported to be one of the national chairmanship aspirants of the SDP, had said that he decided to bow out of active politics because of the circumstances of his disqualification.

The former governor first took ill in February 2002, following which he was flown abroad for medical treatment in view of his deteriorating health.

He was flown to a German hospital after taking "seriously ill" in his home town.

His recent trip abroad, it was learnt, might have been facilitated with a $20,000 released to the family by the Imo State Government.

Governor Udenwa, who made the donation at Mbakwe's compound in Avutu, had described the former civilian governor as the father of the state and expressed the desire of the people to see him "hale and hearty again."

they didnt even handcuff him

This is a piece of advice for you: tribalism does not portray anyone as noble or great. Stay above pettiness and shun tribalism. This does not however mean that you should not love your tribe or advance their cause. It does you a lot of good to stop revelling in tribalism and making sweeping statements about a whole tribe or race.

Preach love and not hatred and stop putting others down.

The world has moved on.

Shay you know Bankole once called EFCC and indirectly Waziri "toothless bulldog"

He will see how toothless they are now

the average nigerian is corrupt,80 per cent of the people writing here will do worse than bankole if given such a position,the only way to rid corruption is that we have to be true to ourselves and tell ourselves the bitter truth,a gateman will look for ways to collect money from vistors before they can see oga,a teacher will ask for bribes from students to pass them and the list goes on but we all come here shouting hoiler than thou! once a man is given offical position his family and friends put presuure on him to get rich seeing it as their time.corruption prevails every sector of our society so what are we saying here?in your office or whatever you do for a living are you totally honest?these politicans we love to blame for our woes,did they drop from the skies?abeg make i hear word!!!

@richard10,
ur post above sounds so intelligent but lack the following;
1. no court of law in this world will judge anyone with intentions - that is if u are made the speaker, u will still so u are here by sentenced to 1 day imprisonment.
2. they lead and we follow - so criminal leaders beget criminal followers every where in the world.
3. even if 99% of us will do the same or more, it still does not justify the action of a criminal.
4. you are misunderstanding the position of a law maker to that of a law breaker.

Armed forces of Nigeria should please take over from these politicians before they ruin Nigeria further beyond repairs. This is essentially necessary and critical because the Armed Forces owe Nigerians a duty of care to protect Nigeria and Nigerians from both external and internal aggression.  

What kind of Armed Forces do we have in Nigeria today that will sit back and watch our so-called politicians and others loot and destroy our country? Our country is facing a criminal financial invasion all in the name of politics, and you the Armed Forces are there watching these politicians ruin us beyond repairs. Shame on you!

Without missing my words, I Dr. Jordan Yellow,  hereby demand that the ARMED Forces of the Federal republic of Nigeria should as a matter of economic necessity and control of political rascality, SEIZE power from these criminals running our great country.

Such seizure of power will not be a Treasonable felony, rather it will be very well appreciated by Nigerians in general because the financial madness of looting, fraud, corruption, etc……. has now gone beyond belief.

Before returning power to civilians, you must please ensure that the new or revised constitution does not grant immunity to any one in office, so that politicians do not hide behind these immunity clauses to commit any criminal act.

While you the majority of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, as well as millions of Nigerians live in mind-boggling poverty, the so called leaders you have been obeying so fanatically, all live a life of pure luxury that will never come your way unless you put a STOP to this criminal looting of our fragile economy.

Previously some ex-politician and bankers were on the looting spotlight, but nothing has come out of it because they ‘SETTLED’  the authorities. Today it is Bankole. He will soon be out of custody to enjoy his loot.

I wonder why no Nigerian has questioned why politicians will be given allowances to run their constituencies. If the intention was to serve Nigerians, why did the management of NASS not employ suitable people for these jobs that the politicians collect money for and assign them to the politician directly to enhance, transparency, accountability, employment ,  etc…, instead of allowing them to receive allowances that they will not verify there disbursement.
Legislators should only have been allowed to earn their wages directly, and nothing more in other to curtail fraud and corruption.

The jumbo wages collected by each of these politicians per month, is more than enough to effectively employ at least ten unemployed Nigerians.

Nigeria has a large population of unemployed people roaming the streets daily, while these politicians earn an amazing  sum of money and also defraud us with useless legislations that will not help any one.


Armed Forces of Nigeria, please wake up from your slumber and seize power in other to bring a level of FISCAL- CONTROL  to Nigeria, unless you all rather die in poverty in the mist of plenty  since you have deliberately allowed corruption and fraud to become a religion in Nigeria. Please, ACT NOW!

This is what I have discovered about most of you posting messages here:
[list]
[li]You claim to be fighting corruption but you are proclaiming a man guilty before he's even charged to court.[/li]
[li]You call yourself youths but you persecute, insult and poke fun at a young upcoming politician for no reason.[/li]
[li]You have ruled out the possibility of Bankole being innocent.  Hence if he's found not guilty, you will still not be convinced.[/li]
[li]Bankole has been attacked from day 1 he became Speaker.  The started with the False 'He did not performance NYSC allegation'.  Who is afraid of Bankole?[/li]
[li]The 'business-as-usual' politicians will destroy any young new-thinking politicians they see to be intimidating.[/li]
[li]Most of you are under-aged, cannot analyse logically and cannot read read more than 1 paragraph of text at a time.[/li]
[li]My advice to you all.  Shun persecution, shun jungle justice. Seek the truth.  Fight for justice.  Only then can you fight corruption[/li]
[li]Have you sought the facts of the case against Bankole?  Have you sought an unbiased view of this case?[/li]
[li]Some of you are Christians.  Jesus Christ was persecuted without justice, remember?[/li]
[/list]

I understand if somene earning N20K per month has to steal to buy food for his starving kidz, but I still cant rationalize why people earning 7 digits monthly allowances still have to take what belongs to others. Is it a mental disorder or something?

This people are crazy, I wish they will jail him for 100 years so he die in prison, so others will be sacred of looting
