Sometimes I wonder how shallow most Nigerians are especially in their shallow understanding of how things work. We are in a democratic system where there is separation of powers, so should anyone or system be blamed it should be the judiciary. However, one may not really blame the judiciary in cases like this. For example, if i loot 25 billion naira, i can hire 10 SANs and many other lawyers to defend me. With that money, i can influence other civil servants to make possible proofs to disappear. At the end, the prosecutor argues with a few supporting documents available and i get a fair sentence. The poor man that steals 1000 naira may not be able to hire a good lawyer to defend him so he's sentenced to 21 years. That is how the system works.

It smacks of ignorance to blame the judge. The maximum sentence that can be imposed is two years, with or without option of fines. The accused pleaded guilt and being a first time offender, it's left for the judge to either use his discretion to temper justice with mercy or apply the maximum sentence. The judge has done nothing wrong in this regard.

What needs to be done is simple.
1. EFCC should seek an order to confiscate all his properties that have been proven to be proceeds of the crime.
2. GEJ should send a bill to NASS to amend that stupid law. The sentence should be at least 10yrs without an option of fine.

Can u imagine? If I were him, I'd go to jail come out and embezzle another 46billion naira and go to jail for 4 years since the judicial system in Nigeria has lost it sanity. I weep for this visionless and lawless nation called Nigeria. It should be rephrased as LIEgeria like a friend of mine would always say.

There is no case against the judge. Not a single one.
He can't apply sentence beyond the maximum allowed by the law.

Blame the system, NOT the judge.

The judiciary has just interpreted a law made by our shameless legislooters, a house peopled by thieves who in their thieving ways set before time safety fallback measures in the event such fate as Yakubu's stand against them tomorrow. What we have just witnessed is a dress rehearsal of Farouk Lawal's fate- a slap on his fat wrist when his time comes. Justice clearly has not been seen to have been done. Rather thieves of tomorrow have set for themselves lenient punishment for such a time when their hands would be caught sticking in the cookie jar. These people of the three tiers won't go away unless we the burden bearers take to the streets, pay the ultimate price and force them out.

This is a call of duty for all patriotic Nigerians residing in Abuja. We should mobilize to occupy the court were such malicious judgement was handed down.
Occupy 9ja should not be restricted to fuel subsidy pallaver.

Democracy without input of the citizens is like soup without salt. The citizens must have a say on this issue. The rejection of this ridiculous sentence by an obviously compromised judge should RESOUND all over the country. Occupy 9ja, civil society groups, opposition parties,the media,etc must all speak out and reject this judgement.
