antartica:

Is there anything like detailed police background check for any aspiring public of holder and those that deal with children like teachers? Anyway,child abuse is legal in nigeria and nigeria doesnt have a police force,the police themselves need basic criminal and mental background check which will rule out 99.9 percent of the for. As it is now,nigeria is in practice a rogue state because the rule of law is not applicabe. Our leaders,police and judiciary are all criminals.

The police to check are they not the same people that will point AK riffle on your head for head for N100 i laugh in ibori and i hiss in UK.

More like Nigerians embarrassing themselves, you tosser. #Epic Fail

There are no saints in the Nigerian polity.All politicians are thieves and rogues.They are looters and murderers.At last judgement day has come.

Who among our (Nigerian) past & present leaders are not thieves except T.Balewa, Muritala & Gowon?, even dis so called retardeen, drunkard fisherman, shoeless, & clueless GEJ will be the most notorious thief dt Nigeria has ever have as a president, imagine 1 person having a #3m daily food, wetin he dey chop,he dey chop human being?

My brothers thank you. This is no news. Ibori is as much a thief as the numerous naija politicians. Difference is they are yet to be named, shamed, prosecuted and jailed.
No mind some true fowl wey dey argue with their yansh at the start of this thread.

^^^^ i do actually because everywhere i go i let it be known that i am Nigerian and i am not ashamed of it. its embarrassing to see someone like ibori make it all the way to be a governor when its Nigerian that voted him in.

^^^ FYI. I don't, unlike "blacksta"

Poor BBC, either they are really ignorant or they are just being mischievous. Everyone in Nigeria knows that kleptomaniacs have and are still running the Nigerian government. Or are they saying we should hail our former overlords for saving us from ourselves, hmm.

Makes № sense, Nigeria has not been fortunate enough to have a president who Iƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇ not a known chronic thief except Buhari.

Even the attorney general of deserve worse humiliation,he is the number thief. While the present governor of delta state,uduagban is more criminally daring,he basically warns good and responsible workers to stay clear of being good and never attempt to change the culture of corruption and looting in the system or else they will lose their jobs or even their lives. He must have been an agbero chairman before he became a political thug and then governor and maybe president later if he is not apprehended like ibori.

Please tell them that we are not yet impressed with this news, this is just a token, it just a cup of water out of a drum of water is nothing. We still has thousands of Iboris in past and present administration who has now become parasites and epidemic of our daily life in Nigeria. We need help to overcome this please.

a theif will always be a theif - this theif started off his career by looting diy stuff from a london hardware store along with his wife - - if he had done that in nigeria he would have had a tyre thrown around his neck and been burnt alive - instead all he got was a caution - a mere slap on the wrist -he was then free to create even more mayhem. Hope some big guys gang ra.pe him in prison.

Ibori's plea was strategic for his survival and for the survival of perhaps a lot of other people some of whom might be in government.

This trial would have brought a lot of revelations to light as the prosecution from their opening statement was clearly ready to draw (Ibori's) blood. In our local parlance, 'dem don plan am take'.

Ibori had absolutely no option. His couriers are already in jail doing time. Freeing Ibori would have meant miscarriage of Justice for these other persons. Like shooting your self in the foot after spending so much to investigate, prosecute and secure conviction.

I really hate the fact that Aondoakaa, Ibori's right hand man and executioner got away free to enjoy his millions.

Please can someone tell what's wrong with Nigerians? When the goverment does not prosecute, they say the government does not want to fight corruption. When they prosecute, they say its witch hunt. When a foreign goverment prosecutes, they say it we are all thieves so it doesn't matter. I feel sorry for Nigeria. The only grouse I have with oyibo is that they merged us into a country and gave us independence too early. We should have gotten independence in 1995.

How many thieves are the leaders of Western countries?  All of them, I would dare to say.   This duplicitous hypocritical thing that seems to be such an integral part and parcel of human nature is starting to get boring.  

How many Nigerians have been involved in fraud themselves?  It is such a common thing amongst my people and we have the global reputation to show for it.  Why is it a surprise that in a nation of thieves the governors and heads of state are thieves?

The entire western economic and financial system is one big fraudulent scheme.  They are all liars and thieves from Obama to David Cameron to Sarkozy etc etc etc

What was it that Jesus said about the block in your eye before the speck in your neighbours eye?

@ pastor AIO
So am guessin u'l be glad if d british govt frees him and apologises.

Ibori i bu onye oshi,Ole buruku.

And so?, mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww.if nigerians govt wont say d trut,oda countries will do it 4us, its no fucking big deal

Don't be surprised dat the pdp crooks will give dis dude a befitting welcome party dat will supersede dat of Olabode Georges when his jail term ends.

every convicted polithiefian is a hero in nigeria. welcome to the club joooooooooooooooooooo

What happens to the bribe that Ibori gave to that Asaba Judge?

I Pray others go same way

From rags to riches

Wait a minute,  we've already had thieves as presidents
Has someone been reading our historical archives upside down again?

Yes all our civilian presidents have been thieves at a certain point in time. but now is the time to fight them.

what we should worry about now is the commander-in-thief, GEJ, in aso rock now. That guy is a sly thief oh! me i don talk am!

What are write-up. Why can Nigerian journalist write something like this. U guys will see, it will start with Ibori, where it will end is what I don't know

Nah hint I hint before before.

You know, the fingers of a man who has only nine should not be counted in his presence.

this your proverb too strong for me jor

like me talk am GEJ na thief but him be like say him get sense pass ibori. you know thief dey learn new patterns, and them dey learn from their fellow thief failures.

Lasinoh:

So, which Nigerian politician is not a thief?
All have records as ex-cons! 
Ibori is a victim of his arrogance like Alams period!
Make we hia word!
Tinubu nor push drug for America? Yoruba peeps were jubilating when he escaped EFCC net!
Even his children and concubines on NL.
Hypocrites!

Ibori, go to the damn jail!
Come out, and I will throw you a huge party!!!
Being an ex-con is a badge of honor in Africa politics!n
[b]Ask Mandela! [/b]

There are ex-cons and there are ex-cons. There is no basis for comparism between Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest Africans of all time, who went to prison for fighting to free his people from the clutches of apartheid and a career criminal like James Ibori, who stole from the very people he was elected  to serve and protect.

its all political - I laugh in french

How come it took him so long before confessing to such a terrible crime? Useless rulers.

but at least when he was power, there were some dramatic changes in delta state unlike his unfortunate cousin Uduaghan, who has decided to impoverish the state,

nobody holy pass eh
look into my eyes make u tell me say u holy pass.

nobody,

even the so called critics on NL, are u people better off, politics is a sensitive game and its meant for the intelligent guys, if u decide to bite the fingers that feeds u simply becos u dont like their company anymore, then be prepared to loose your teeth. that was just the case of james ibori,

those of u who live in delta state can testify to what he did for deltans,

though he stole money i am not covering that, what abt others who escaped
