Good development. He who doesn't believe in forgiveness of sin should be the person to cast the very first stone. The judiciary has done well. Bode George your sin are forgiven, go and sin no more. |

Those were some of the cases that were taken to court in the midst of the MEDIA DRAMA and PLAYING TO THE GALLERY that went into the 'war' against corruption during OBJ and Yar Adua era. As expected, Nigerians, being DRAMA loving people, cheered on while the DRAMA lasted. However, after the DRAMA and PLAYING TO THE GALLERY, many of those cases could not stand judicial scrutiny. As for the case of Bode George, the Nigerian people have LOST again. The time, energy and resources that went into prosecuting him are all LOST. He may even sue the state for damages and may end up with billions or millions awarded to him in compensation. And all those shenanigans happened in the name of 'fighting' corruption? Likewise, in the midst of DRAMA and media fanfare, the OBJ govt slammed charges of corruption against former senate president, Adolphus Wabara; former education minister, Prof. Fabian Osuji and former health minister, Nike Grange. However, after much DRAMA and dancing in the media the Appeal Court made the following statements while freeing the duo of Adolphus Wabara and Prof. Fabian Osuji of allegations of corruption: "the charge was BOGUS and failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused persons.... the prosecution failed to attach the list of witnesses and other relevant documents to the charge as required by law....the criminal charge was FRIVOLUS, BASELESS and had no merit and as such could not be sustained" http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/06/02/n50-million-scam-court-frees-wabara-osuji-abdulazeez/ Meanwhile, the Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) in the fertilizer distribution system instituted by the current govt saved the nation about N25 billion in 2012. The N25 billion would have been lost to corruption if we had continued with the old system of distributing fertilizer. The Integrated Payroll Systeme has also saved the country over N120 billion per annum thru eradication of ghost workers. Some Boko Haram and pension thieves suspects have been prosecuted and convicted SUCCESSFULLY. Many others, including fuel subsidy thieves are still in court. It must be noted that many of the cases of corruption that are being prosecuted under this dispensation are the outcome of SILENT double layer investigation. The fuel subsidy thieves for instance were first investigated by a presidential committee on fuel subsidy (which consisted of experts in that field) and later by the EFCC before proceeding to court. This increases the chances of securing conviction in court. Nigerians would have to choose between DRAMA/PLAYING TO THE GALLERY and real fight against corrupt that yields TANGIBLE BENEFITS. 6 Likes |

The Supreme Court, in this judgement, did NOT say that Thief Bode George didn't commit the clearly evil act of contract splitting, just that it wasn't yet a crime at the time. Big difference. Nemesis - and Karma - will still catch up with him (TBG) & his ilk, & help us sanitize our society, God willing. P34c3 1 Like |

Pukkah: My brother, some judges are so so silly that atimes i begin to wonder if they qualify to even be village heads left alone presiding over crucial matters concerning pple/nation. I remember when a judge in appellate court asked and i quote "what is patent right? Are you talking about patent medicine practitioners?" That was the question of a judge in Nigerian court of appeal. Smh! Criticism on gej has made him to even lose passion for the society. He might not want to contest again owing to this epic criticism. Maybe he just want to destroy d Nation within his capacity b4 he leaves come 2015. 1 Like |

I hear you guys. This was the same Daudu SAN that was at war with the Fed executive because of Former JCA Salami. Now you say he is on the side of governement setting free "corrupt people". These people are only guilty in the court of public opinion my guys. Please try to be more impersonal and judge with better insight many things in the public we see daily. |

Some Nigerians shaaa Why would a Court pronounce a judgement and we go on to blame the President or Governor We blame FG for the things done by Legislature(including their allowances) on the President too. If anybody has a problem with the judgement, we should take it up with them(judges/NBA). I personally believe based on maybe sentiment(since I have no evidence) that he Bode George is a highly trained thief, but I put the blame concerning the judgement on the Judges. If we hold the judges accountable for their judgements, they wouldn't collect bride or bow to pressure from external forces. but if we continue to blame Governors or Presidents(thereby absorbing the judges from blame) then we are on a long thing. |
