Do you care to define illiteracy, you urchin? + what size are you? I need to know so I can invite my dog to fight you, since I know for sure that you are beneath me. You deserve a fight with fellow animals, not humans, more so your betters.
I repeat again. . . you're illiterate. . .or how else can one explain your thrashy rantings?

Your posts are full of unecessary tribal hate,mainly found with unexposed illiterates with no clear sense of reasoning. tongue tongue

I don't have a problem if you want to uphold the Ndigbo; you can do that by starting threads like:

1. Igbos are the most intelligent ethnic group on earth
2.Igbos are the most innovative
3.Igbos are the best in everything

or create threads to celebrate prominent Ndigbo : Chimamanda,Emeagwali,Achebe,Chris Uba etc. . .BUT . . .don't do it at the expense of Youruba people,cos I'll be there to hit you back HARD ,where it hurts most. . . . you've been warned. . ask Bialegend who I strongly suspect you' actually are,Ijawman

What a dimwit!
If Alaba is closed, where do you think the bulk of Lagos state internally generated revenue WILL come from?  How will Lagos state pay their workers?
Some of this goons are so gullible.
You don't know that all the business owners in Alaba has branches too in Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi, Kano, Douala etc.
If you close Alaba, many of them won't even notice any change in their bank balance.
You really need some street wise education.
Although I was initially referring to mekuslogan.
This is the same mistake primary school graduates like you always make. . . . . . . . . . . .money doesn't necessarily equate common sense. Your bank balance doesn't mean much ,if you can't can write your name or construct 3 sentences without errors tongue

Well, I am happy with this development but i have 2 reasons not to jubilate openly:-

1) Appeal court Abracadabra  

2) Reduced jail period( as somebody said (PDP years)

3) No mention of refund of looted funds.

Please can any lawyer give me comfort. Otherwise, I am not yet ready for any celebration.

Thank you.

Every tribe has its share of thieves - and there are no shortage of sycophants to welcome them.

Orji Kalu stole billions, and he remained a hero among thousands of his tribesmen, even with the festering Aba rubbish heaps. is that any less repugnant than the Bode George case?
Do i even go into the amount of support Chris and Andy Uba can muster up in their nefarious deeds?
If we're creating a Nigerian rogues gallery, do you think Arthur Nzeribe will not also share the same pedestal of villainy that Bode George occupies?

Alams stole N50 billion - and was welcomed home by a huge throng of the very same people whose money he looted. Is that any better?

Greed is a common human failing and it is not restricted to just one tribe.

1) and (2) I would hope the Nigerian Appeals Court is similar to the UK one where the Appeal judge migth even judge that your sentence was inadequate and elongate it. Hopefully, the appeal court judge will cancel the concurrency and let this buffoon spend the rest of his life in jail like Madoff.

3) This was the same judge that ordered the seizing of Ajudua's criminal loot, I will be surprised if he has not done the same here or going to do it.

why is it, that the Yoruba's are always talking about education,they all claim to be educated everywhere they find themselves,they tell the host that they are more learned then the other tribes even when they are not asked of the level of education he or she attained,its so funny of them.moreover what have they really ac hive with their so call brainwashed education,is it going to London and work for the whiteman factory and sleep in the street of London and bus drivers in UK,where the English people employ them as security to guide there dogs,educated people sef,its high time they define the meaning of education wealter its for human development,productive or forgery and corruption.if Yoruba's are that educated they wouldn't have waited for the illiterates to come and develop alaba.they should equaly have it in the back of their mind that lagos is a collective development of all nigerians.go check nigeria today and see where the so called educated people dwell and check where the so call trader dwell then u will be able to tell those who claim to be educated and those are not.

I am still trying to figure out how Adedibu managed to have a stronghold on these men from his grave.  His hegemony over Ibadan is still visible. The fear of Adedibu is the beginning of wisdom. What a legend.

Exactly. Tafa Balogun did his own and served only 6 months after his conviction. Now, he is one of the richest felons in Nigeria. The looters not only steal from us but they've figured out how to evade justice through our judiciary.

Mekuslogan is really a dum dum.

Okadigbo was pardoned by his cohorts and this guy is asking which court convicted him. He was pardoned, pre-empted before they drag his butt to court or jail. Andy Uba also got away. A Yoruba judge will not let a Yoruba rogue get away.


Which court convicted Okadigbo? Assuming he stole, how much was it and why was he not jailed. Who were his cohorts? The senators? If so how many senators are there and what tribes do they come from? I thought Okadigbo was Obasanjo's enemy. Look my friend, Okadigbo's case was politics played by Obj, every other idiot except you knows that.

Re: Unbelievable! Sizable (70%) Yoruba population support Thief Bode George. by illusion2: 5:50pm On Oct 28, 2009
The Coalition of Oodua Self-Determination Groups (COSEG), has hailed the judgment in which ruling party chieftain Bode George and others were jailed for contracts splitting. COSEG also applauded the judiciary for standing against all odds to sentence 'almighty' George of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to jail without an option of fine. George and five others were sentenced by an Ikeja High court judge, Justice Joseph Oyewole, to 28 years imprisonment without the option of fine. The six are, however, to remain behind bars for two and a half years as the sent ences are to run concurrently.

COSEG, in a statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Gbenga Soloki, in Lagos, applauded the judiciary for standing as a true arbitrator and the last hope of the country. It also praised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for showing true commitment in fighting corruption. The group said the judgment had shown that nobody was above the law, arguing that the move would serve as a deterrent to all public office holders, now and in the future, not to engage in looting the treasury. COSEG stressed: 'We commend EFCC's crusade against corruption and we enjoin it not to relent in fighting against corruption and bring to judgment all other looters of our treasury in the past and in future.'

My dear, do not kill yourself over false claims. They remain what they are: false claims. The JAMB records speak for themselves. Moreover, Nigerians abroad know who and who are schooling abroad. For example, I am a faculty member and I know where most Nigerians in my own university come from.

Bode George deserves honour, says PDP
National News Oct 27, 2009 By Dapo Akinrefon
REACTIONS have continued to trail the sentence of former Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olabode George.

George and five other members of his board were sentenced to 28 years jail without an option of fine by an Ikeja High Court on Monday.

The Lagos State Chairman of PDP, Mr. Setonji Koshoedo, described the ruling as “sad and shocking.”

Koshoedo, in a statement said: “It is a blow not only to Lagos PDP but to the South-West and the nation as a whole. He deserves honour for his contribution to Nigeria. Lagos PDP will suspend all activities till further notice.

“Morale of the members,” he said, “has been dampened. A lot of work will have to be done to rejuvenate the party. We will not allow this to affect our focus. Our goal to succeed come 2011 is unshakeable,” he added.

However, the Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG), has lauded Justice Olubunmi Oyewole for what it described as a “diligent judgment.”

According to its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, “It is on the matter of ‘kid gloves’ that many Nigerians have expressed disappointment with the judgment. They are of the view that 30 months in jail is too light for the kind of crimes Bode George and colleagues committed.”

Come to think of it, if you know what it takes to make a Bode George, you will be sober and even fear God.
His fall is a lesson for all that no matter the height you attain, there is God who can bring you low to nought.

@ mekuslogan,

We sincerely dont need to be tribalist here.Igbos are known and have a reputation for crimes as well as yorubas and Hausas.But you sincerely missed the point here.Those people u see at the court premises are PDP supporters who intend to turn the court premises into carnival as they were anticipating a clear verdict for Olabode-george.PDP supporters were mobilised from every part of the state to the Court venue with the intention of declaring a carnival like celebration after the court ruling.They are however shocked that the judge had enough evidence to nail the former navy chief and his cohorts.
It might interest you to know that the Judge who nailed Olabode-George and his group his a Yoruba man as well.
Yoruba's are more tolerant of the Ibos than Hausa.You can imagine what will happen to the entire Igbo nation if all yoruba states should send ibos to their homestate and barr them from re-entering.It will be mass exodus and the consequencies is not far from reach.
So get your priorities straight.

@ Aloy-Emeka,

It will be in your interest to always maintain your anti-tribal sentiments stand which you are known for.Making tribal sentiments will only tear us all apart instead of bringing us together.We should all see each other as brothers and sisters instead of enemies.

That is his opinion and not the opinion of the whole Yorubas including the judge who jailed him. Why ignore the opinion of nairaland yorubas who condemn the crook and accept the opinion of another he goat paid for Bode's PR. Bode George is still writing checks and sycophants must eat.

@poster what has yoruba got to do with corruption ?

he looted he is yoruba and i am yoruba if i was given the opportunity to sentence him i will send him to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison and also strip him off all the assests he amassed with the stolen funds, same thing i would do if it was an hausa, igbo or any other tribe.

its not a matter of supporting anybody. nairlanders should for once be reasonable and not base all issues at hand in regards to nigeria on tribe. because tribe has nothing to do with corrupton or making nigeria better as they say. UNITED WE STAND, AND DIVIDED WE FALL. !!!!
