GEJ and his cohorts are morally bankrupt hence they see no fuss in fraternising with ex cons'. Even the constitution bars ex cons from contesting for elective positions, this shows that such people should always be avoided like the plague.

Okupe is a big disgrace to the Yoruba race for associating men like Bode George to Awolowo as ex convicts!

Demdem: technically, the dog okupe is right. Nothing in our law books suggest its illegal however considering the status of the Retardeen, perception goes a long way. it sends a message, it reveals the mindset of the occupier of aso-rock and determines where his priorities lies.

Alamiseigha

In primary school,I was taught
'Birds of the same feathers,flock together'
And also 'Show me your friends&I'll tell you who you are'
Not forgetting that 'If you lie with dogs,you'll get up with fleas
'Or that a dog will always return to its vomit'
Its no use washing up pigs seeing they always take a beeline for the nearest mud pits after their shower.

I thought these persons have all served their prison terms? Should ex-convicts now be barred from walking on certain roads or going to certain places? Are they now less human because they'r ex-convicts? Was the prison term not meant to CORRECT them and make them BETTER citizens once they'r out of prison? The SELF-RIGHTEOUS attitude of some Nigerians is disgusting.

Guess morality and decency are two words missing in your dictionary. It shows you know nothing of civility and what leadership entails, so you'll probably see nothing wrong with GEJ befriending prosti.tutes and armed robbers since to you being self righteous is disgusting

What a foolish country.

When it suits them, they quote the constitution. Retardeen, the constitution states you should declare your assets - he replies: ''I don't give a damn''.

Retardeen why are you keeping rogues and thieves as friends, the constitution does not say I should not keep ex-convicts as friends.

Mad man (Retardeen), keep it up. I know one day, your end will be more disgraceful that than the grace you are enjoying right now. sad

Its not an easy job defending GEJ and his current goons. Even the almighty BEAF could not survive it. I don't see how these later day minions will survive it. The villa make the job harder for them by the day. Suffice it to say that truck pushing is an easier and better job.

" ........Beware in choosing your friends , a man is judged by the company he keeps ...."

Murtala Mohammed ( 1975) addressing military officers and state governors.

What iss morally right is known even if it's not in the constitution. The constitution did not say that the president , his ministers and the assembly members must not walk naked in public, I am sure we may raise more than eyebrows if they do that.

just wished @Sincere 9gerian knows what the letter and spirit of 'ex-convict' means.

to okupe, he (and others of his ilk) may do well to read the following sections of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria to further reaffirm his position as a cheap mischief maker.

sections 66(1)h http:///vHoAS ; 107(1)h http:///3rs9Q ; 137(1)i http:///vOkS3 ; 182(1)i http:///m4HqCc ; Part II of the Fifth Schedule http:///L3DNkC

these and many other sections disqualifies the president, legally and morally, from fraternizing with ex-convicts. Okupe is morally bankrupt. he is someone to be watched by right thinking people.

omenka: When Dora advocated mental fitness test for political office holders she knew exactly what she was talking about!
It doesn't get worse than this!
Imagin Rupert Madoff being spotted at the White House! Obama would lose his job in a week!

You are joking, right
The US is not a lawless, dog-chop-dog country like Nigeria. Understand
While it is unlikely that Obama will allow the business scammer Rupert Murdoch to visit him in the White House, it is even more improbable that the Congress will [size=13pt]impeach[/size] him for that reason. And on top of that within one week. Haba!!! You tink sey there na selective jungle justice dem dey do?
Okupe is right on the money that the Nigerian law does not forbid such persons from visiting the president.
It is another thing about the implications on the perception of the President's seriousness on the war against corruption, assuming there is any such war in the first instance.
Moreover as I said earlier, in the absence of our mass participation in politics and the respect these rogues continue to command in their local area among those who can deliver votes, GEJ as a smart [size=13pt]Nigerian[/size] politician must find ways to retain their friendship. QED.

Those who cannot live with that reality and YET are not willing to get active to make a change have only one option:

anonimi: Okupe's response reflects the reality of Nigerian politics, i.e. you need local godfathers to secure the votes for you in the absence of mass participation (not just to queue & vote) by those who claim to want something better than what we have presently.

Where do you think Tinubu's ACN gets all the money doled out for elections
Who are they giving the money to and for what purpose
We are mostly a bunch of idealist dreamers.

How many people here have [size=13pt]contributed anything meaningful- time, money, efforts,- to a political campaign[/size] at the LG, state or federal level for executive or legislative positions, for altruistic purpose

^^^^Sir, you have a good head on your shoulders.


The things coming out of Nigeria now are clear even to the blind and the deaf (And let us not deceive ourselves, things have been this way for a long time. Its just that past governments were better at covering their filthy tracks and preventing the details of the rot within from filtering out).


Nigeria's governments have always had (and perhaps always will have sad ) nothing but deep contempt for, and an abiding hatred of the people they claim to govern. This is so because Nigerians are talkers and not doers - we talk and talk about change but we do nothing to make it happen.


This government (and the others before it) despises Nigerians because it thinks (nay, it knows sad ) it owes Nigerians nothing. It is not accountable to ordinary Nigerians. It knows Nigerians have lost their sense of self and it despises them for this weakness.


For us to even have this debate (on the propriety of public officers fraternizing with ex-cons) speaks volumes about how far we have fallen.


Nigerians should make no mistake about it: things WILL get even worse until they take their country back from the bandits they willingly handed it over to.
