Every right thinking person is bound to see this particular action of GEJ as insane

All state pardons for ex cons must be revoked including that of awolowo.

What has Awolowo got to do with this? Pls leave him out

under this GEJ of a man Nigeria is starting to look like the barbaric African countries that we usually see in American movies

It clear that he lack the brain matter to even govern a dozen fleas

Sorry but our idiotic president doesn't give a damn, and neither has no apology to proffer.

Regret all you want US Government, you were part of the institution that certified this drunk doofus as the President of Nigeria.

Its now obvious to all that we have an efficiently incompetent president, smug and content with a criminal benefactor and a corruption-friendly eco-system! The whole world is enveloped by a smell of putrefication called fresh air!

LOL..d US Govt shld be d last govt to 'condemn' anoda country's use of d instrument of pardon to 'forgive' criminals; their record of such pardons, even for persons with worst crimes than Thief Alams, is less than ideal for such pontificatn. Besides, I doubt d US Embassy wud be dumb enuf to 'condemn' a host country's internal decision from a TWITTER account........all dese is without prejudice to d very condemnable act of d granting Pardon to Thief Alams though..

leave him out ke? Mbanu, imagine pardoning a murderer and traitor and no one raised an eyebrow and they are here making noise about the state pardon given a useful and repented thief.

I came to watch kids play on sand..

when GEJ went "i don't give a damn" on national TV, i was mehn! this man will hang himself saying things he doesn't mean, turns out he really didn't give a damn and knew exactly what he was saying

Igbo! Igbo!!

It seems you pathetic, rancid and disgusting obdurate goats have been auto-programmed on the channel of stewpeedity and infantile idiocy.

They should leave GEJ alone abeg. Were more than 80% of the then governors not corrupt? What's happening to thr cases? Some are even in the National Assembly.
I was made to understand that he was promised a state pardon if he accepts being guilty. So, what's the noise all about?

Yes, we can also exhume Ojukwu and send his body back to exile.

Should we then be freeing the one governor that we caught or catching the 36 that have eluded us?

USA should kiss my as*s you got no right to meddle in Nigeria internal affair

Awolowo was never found guilty of stealing money budgeted for the people. In Nigeria pardons are usually used for remedy of political sentences. GEJ has set a new precedence of pardoning official crooks. We know that stealing is going on, but we have now given it the official stamp of approval.

Nonsense, they know what is going on in Nigeria more than you will ever ever know.

They gave their opinion. If they wanted to meddle, they would send a drone to smoke corrupt officials in Naija. (wishing)

Don't mind all these tribalist..They are of corruption and the pusu is talking of Awolowo

Thieves in Nigeria can confidently relieve on the presidency pardon them for 2015 to be successful.

Fresh Air.

lacasa: Fresh Air.

Odious stench.

US Embassy should shut the hell up. American presidents have pardoned politicians who duped their constituencies. Why should Nigerian pardon be anything difference?

Dede1: US Embassy should shut the hell up. American presidents have pardoned politicians who duped their constituencies. Why should Nigerian pardon be anything difference?

For every corrupt politician that got away in the U.S there are probably one thousand of his Nigerian counterpart that not only got away but also rewarded with a chieftaincy title or even got a presidential pardon. Somebody will have to pay for this recklessness and it is people like you Dede.

Soon one of these unsubstantiated reports will hit front page.

Mod......please stamp this thread on the front page.

Nigerians deserve the leaders that they get.
