if they pass a law that will authorize the government to execute corrupt persons, expect 3/4 of our politicians to meet thier creator,cos corruption is a way of life in this country

All, please view the list of EFCC high profile cases at "http://efccnigeria.org/index.php?Option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=9&Itemid=72". Then you would realise that corruption is a National issue. LET THE DEATH PENALTY BE SUPPORTED BY ALL NIGERIANS PLS. This is what is helping China & Japan today. "You steal (live above your means), then you should commit suicide. PERIOD!"

hehehe, commit suicide ,for naija,
when even nigerian muslims no fit do suicide bombing,povert dey worry everybody,everybody wan chop their own

It should be life sentence for the kleptomaniac politicians, death penalty is too cheap, life sentence lets them live misery so that they have a taste of what they subjected the poor masses when they were on their stealing prowl

that will be good but based on the status quo in 9ja that can not happen

that will be good

I think if you investigate the EFCC, the Police, the Army, the Air force, you will be shocked at the high profile corruption going on in there. Who will investigate this persons. I think the approach towards corruption in Nigeria should be changed. The Elites have hijacked the country, hence the best one can do is to banish them from the country for like 50years ans see whether their stolen wealth will not be squandered within fews years.

I'll repeat a post I just made yesterday about something similar.

mmm, Been thinking about something.

If High treason is defined by some as criminal disloyalty to one's country or people and requires that the individual have obligations of loyalty, then why is it not possible to pass a law that enables anyone who embezzles public funds to be charged with High treason or at least treason. Cause when you think of it, embezzling public funds intended for health, educational, and infrastructural purposes is the highest form of disloyalty to one's nation and people. And by taking an oath of office or being appointed to such means that the individual has "obligations of loyalty" while in that office.

Just my two cents.

BTW High treason carries a penalty of Death in most places.

Though I hate corruption, I hate the death penalty more. In lawless Nigeria, such a law will be used to eliminate political opponents. Senseless!

I support this motion!

the truth is that if the death sentence issue is passed here in nigeria, it means cameroun and benin republic will inherit our lands and properties.
every nigerian is corrupt and that means we will all die.
i think the best thing will be for us to include corruption in our constitution so that if u are not corrupt, u will be guilty while those of us who are corrupt will be innocent.
if we do it like that, nobody will run away with our money and nobdy will seek aslyum. no one will accuse anyone and we will not have pretenders like ribadu and el rufai. everybody will be either ibori or obasanjo and we will all enjoy.
and we will just change our name to corruption instead of nigeria.
we will open our boarders to foreign criminals and those of us who are not corrupt will go and see corruption asylum in some other countries.

Inadequate, fallible and imperfect humans should have the possibility by law
to execute other humans?

What a creepy thought.

I get your point, ironically it is because of corruption, that death penalty for corruption would not work properly.
It may only start working once we have acheived a truely non- corrupt government like that of Gen Buhari's in 1984.

Cohomology:

The webpage goes to show the problem with some agencies. What will it take to pay a programmer to develop a web application solely for the EFCC based on their requirements and features?

See how the list is displayed because someone is using a free content management system for the official website of an anti corruption agency.

This "one size fits all" attitude has got to stop.

it's not just in government , even in the private sector, funny if they pass a death penalty for corruption, we'll wiping over half of our population, the streets of abuja will be filled with dead bodies.

first and foremost corruption as being institutionalised in nigeria. i support this idea of death sentence for offenders. believe me we all be better off if can keep corruption to the barest minimum.
