When a thief is a Kingmaker in a state that state will remain stagnant ,now we know why Delta state is stagnant and has not experienced any development despite the Billions of Naira the state receives every year.

What a nation. Deltans still follow him as political figure.
I don't know why politicians use public funds to live. No wonder, once they leave offices, political appointments is there target or NASs ..
They can't live outside national treasury.
UK please confiscate all the properties.

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders we have.

When governor na petty thief, come graduate to big thief, na our girls no go be ashawo?

The fact say you never catch your GF/Wife dey do ashawo no mean say she no dey do ashawo.

Nonsense country, all the politicians are thieves and all the girls are ashawo
This one has finally lost it. Judging by the stats you provided, it is obvious that your mom too is/was seeing another man while she is/was still with your father. So let's just conclude that you are a b@st@rd.

A thief was arrested, prosecuted, and jailed.

Released after serving his sentence, his STATE people, whose COLLECTIVE WEALTH he stole, organized an elaborate WELCOME PARTY for him.


Remember that when you criticize politicians. Na our people themselves be mumu wey dey support criminals.

I won't mention other names.

Umaru Dikko did not steal any $2b

What difference does it make how much he stole? Stealing is crime, big or small amount.

Kenya where half of the electoral commision refused to certify the last election?

Kenya with allegations of voter fraud and severe fighting.?

Kenya that had riots in election past, including the 1997 one that turned tribal and violent?

Kenya with allegations of voter supression?

Kenya that had a botched 2017 election?

Okay o.

So because it happened in Kenya, we should allow it in Nigeria?

Agbadorians brains are just full of dust, honestly.

Oga I made a statement of fact. He did not steal any $2b. Learn to read and comprehend. I did not say stealing is not a crime.



If you on the other hand claim he stole where is your evidence? You just don’t make statements without evidence. Even if he wasn’t convicted what was the allegation of theft?

I was around during that period I know for a fact that Umaru Dikko was the most powerful minister and effectively the de facto president but nobody actually said he stole, just like no one ever accused Shagari of stealing.

Feel free to list what he was alleged to have stolen even if he wasn’t convicted.

Let me help you with a format for your response:
1)Diezani has not been convicted but she was alledged to have stolen money with the likes of Jide Onokore and Kola Aluko etc.

2)Obasanjo, Babangida etc acquired assets and a lifestyle beyond their income as govt workers.

please tell me what the theft allegation against Dikko was besides being a powerful minister. I am being very lenient with you, I didn’t say conviction, I said allegation. The bar is very low, you shouldn’t have a problem responding.

Google is your friend feel free to use it to search for what Dikko allegedly stole. You won’t find anything because Dikko wasn’t wanted because he stole anything, he was wanted because he was the most powerful man in the govt.

No, I am just correcting the idea that Kenyan elections are perfect, which is what the person I was responding to was implying in his comment.

At no point was I saying that Nigerian elections are perfect...they are not, and they have room for improvement well well, but Kenya is not better than us either.

Agbadorians brains are just full of dust, honestly.

Calm down. I no dey support APC self.

This guy has stealing in his blood stream. He started his thieving career at a tender age.
From the writer views,he grew up with stealing and pilfering. Today,he has graduated and were celebrating him.Indeed, whatever a man sow,that is what he will reap.Unfortunately, here in Nigeria the always justified the means,no one care and you make the money.

And this collosal thief was never convicted in Nigeria for all the money he stole. Imagine Britain imprisoned him for embezzlement not the theft.
