UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FALL!

This country is finished! We need a special court for corruption related offences to stem all these frivolous adjournments.

Good Point bayoooo. Imagine all those money directed towards solid
infrastructural development across the nation.

Good Post Sagewood. Keep it coming. Its only in Nigeria a petty thief is lynched, while mega thieves go free and live in luxury. Just imagine the chain reaction effect if all the above thieves had been lynched.

Its high time the death penalty is made the constitutional punishment for fraud and corruption.

The Arbiter, You are right about petty and mega thieves analysis. The mega thieves steal heavily with the pen.
The pen is mightier than the sword they say.

Change is coming soon!

Keep them coming even if they are for records sake.
