What message are we giving to the international community

Afam4evaIsASlut:

Oh, poor baby, its clear you dont understand the origin of these gang-wars between your President and the core North.

Listen, how long do you think Yar Adua was dead before they announced it? Who signed your budget that year? Yar Adua?! Poor st.upid Nigerians, they always forget so fast. Who approved all contractual obligations between Nigeria and other Nations? Did GEJ know anything about his oga's whereabouts? Did Yar Adua ever used to hand over to GEJ when he travelled outside the country for operations that could have left him dead on the operating table? Listen, if the Yorubas did not cry out that GEJ had to take over, the constitution was going to be amended and Turai would have taken over and jacksh*t woulda happened--- IF THE YORUBAS HAD NOT RISEN AGAINST THE CABAL!

Nigeria was in the hands of a vicious mafia from the North, and today she is in the arms of another vicious gang from the Ijaw Area.

Monimatic: Breaking News: Council Of State Grants Diya,Yar'adua, Alamieyeseigha Pardon

Former Chief of General Staff, Oladipo Diya and Former Chief of Staff Supremem Military Concil, and brother of the late President, Major General Shehu Musa Yar'adua received a State Pardon from the National Council of State, this afternoon, a source who attended the meeting has revealed to NaijaPundit.

Also pardoned were ex-Major Bello Magaji NA/6604, Mohammed Lima Biu, Shettima Bulama, Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Chief DSP Alamieyeseigha, Major Geeneral Abdulkareem Adisa (Post Humous) and Major Segun Fadipe.

Our source revealed to us that the Council of State, which is comprised of the President, Vice President, all state governors, former Presidents, the Chief Justice of the Federation, the Senate President and Speaker, amongst others, unanimously approved the list of those pardoned today.

The Council of State meeting however was not without its drama as another list which had names of hose awaiting trial was smuggled in for discussion. The Council however rejected the list and asked that it be sent back to the duo of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and the Minister of the Interior.

Sources told us that the unjust trial and conviction of Diya and Yar'adua was the basis of their pardon while Alamieyeseigha was considered because apart from serving his sentence he has devoted his life to travelling amongst Niger Delta communities facilitating the peace.

No. You're merely a sycophant. Perhaps well remunerated, but still an under the table dog who must defend his master.
You have no qualms in betraying your children by helping to ruin the Nigeria they will inherit. And for what?!

extension: I now agreed that western education is bad. The more phd you acquired the more stupid you are.

2) The powers of the President under subsection (1) of this section shall be exercised by him after consultation with the Council of State.

mu2sa2: Sorry, govt doesn't pardon petty criminals; state pardon is for VIP criminals.

nep2ra: Nigeria is one huge joke; a theatre of comedy. God has forsaken this country. Its up to Nigerians to save themselves.

Well if I were still in the service of insulting I would have started with your parents thanks to the mods who appealed to me recently,what inheritance are you talkingg about? What betrayal?? How does a pardon amount to betrayal? If it were that bad as you gullible goats puts it why was it approved by other highly respectable senior citizzens including your human rights activist who turned governor Mumu people,why didn't anyone object??

4 Play:

Why do mo-rons like you create straw man arguments? The President and every single member of the Council who endorsed this decision are responsible for endorsing impunity and corruption and showing Nigerian politicians are indistinguishable. You and others who pretend that GEJ is a cut above the rest in corruption are either ignorant, willfully blind or motivated by monetary or ethnic concerns. Long before GEJ was known, this country had topped many rankings of the world's most corrupt countries so to pretend that this is the sole responsibility of a Nigerian politician in a case involving unanimous consent is bizarre to say the least.

talk2s:
You have started calling me names, thankyou.
Were you GEJ, what would have been your stand?

sweet_gala:

It wasn't approved by them, they have neither power nor privileges to approve such.
They were obviously there to discuss other issues GEJ just intentionally used the gathering to paint a picture of elder statesman making decisions.
Which of them in attendance is a sitting president? Is it not GEJ who claimed DSP Alams is his "mentor".
God forgive you, not sure you want a feature for your children.

ewet: ALAMS ke? omo o ga ooo.What are this our leaders thinkn. u pardon some1 who stole billions, ran away from d UK disguised as a woman, bcam a fugitive and worst of all only got 6 months in prison. Hw abt all those languising in Nigerian prisons or already dead for stealing 1 trillionth of wht this guy stole. Wht hope for this country. GEJ has displayed another show of cluelessness tht deserves a Guiness book award for the dumbest president ever. Everybody just go ahead and still all the money u can and get to knw the president and u will be pardoned. anoda reason GEJ must be booted out.

sweet_gala:
Please do not come here and claim their was a vote count on who and who would be pardoned. It was simply on page number xx the list of people the PRESIDENT has DECIDED pardoned , one or more might have raised concerns but with the multitude of GEJ yes-men they would have been silenced quick. This Alams pardon is a GEJ orchestration

ifihearam:

Pointless. You have succeeded in saying a whole out of nothing.
