LOL!

This photo and the story behind it literally had me in stitches.

Mighty Joe was an infamous robber that terrorised Nigeria back in the day. To imagine he was publicly executed by law for stealing just ₦10 (Ten Naira), is hilarity personified.

That was when our money had major value, though. Remember the Naira (₦) used to be equivalent to the Pound (£) before Babangida and his ilk made a mess of our notes (so I was told).

Sadly, today, people steal monies running into billions and no one dares move a finger or challenge them.

if he was executed in 1973 because of #10 naira, then people like buhari, obasanjo,atiku, jonathan, lbb, shagari and all our politicians (from 1979 till date) should all be buried alive because they have stolen trillions of naira and have asset spread all over the globe... angry
Thank you my dear because there is no politician that I know who has not stolen or taken a bite into public fund. They should all be buried alive then. They said Shagari's government was hopelessly corrupt but no one was sentenced to death for stealing public fund in his regime or the regime that preceded him but that man stole #10 and was sentenced to death. That is what I call selective justice. I don't support capital punishment.

Mighty Joe's killing was politically motivated, he has done far worst thing than stealing #10 but he had issues with a particular family in Lagos which led to ropping him and his eventual execution.

This headline is misleading he can't be executed simply for stealing 10 Naira because "Mighty" and "Notorious" cannot be attached to someone who simply stole 10 Naira.
Sensationalism at its worst.

Whatever the value of money was then compared to its value today, that is the issue. The issue which is the expectation of every nigerian today, is that if an ordinary nigerian who steals should be prosecuted and executed, so be it to all our so-called leaders. The nigerian leaders contradict themselves and confuse the citizens by having what they call the rule of law and the immunity clause at the same time. That gives them the chance to loot our resources while they are in seat without being challenged by the citizens. Anybody who does that will be dead. Infact citizens do not even know anything about how their resources are being managed. When they descend the seat, their co- thieves called EFCC will collect some part of it by the process of charging them to court. That will be the end of it all. Some frustrated citizens even go as far as giving them thuggry intimidating their fellow citizens by the command of corrupt and selfish leaders.

Was your father an illiterate then? That must explain his inability to explain what happened to you. See, listen. If had 1 million pounds you get given 20 pounds but if u had 10 pounds you also get given only your 10 pounds. If you had nothing you received nothing. Thanks to the then Finance Minister opolo eye Awo. Today with the 20 pounds we are still dominating. I own a personal house in town touted to be owned by Lagosians. Area boys and omoniles are still there forming barons.

You people are saying it was just N10
Look at the price of the newspaper...only 4kobo!
that means 4k in 1973 is equivalent to about N200 now.
ie N0.04 is equal to N200 now
that means N10 then = N1,000,000 today... shocked
well, if they wer to kill everyone who stole N1m today...HIAN!!! grin grin grin

#10 then would be #50k now not 1 million oga.
