pro01: Some of you are hopelessly daft. Can you establish that the president influenced the SUPREME COURT judgment? If not, then why drag his name into the matter?

At least we had proof that the disgraced Justhief Salami, former President of the Appeal Court, was influenced by Tinubu to facilitate favourable rulings for ACN in Osun and Ekiti (thanks to MTN call logs). Is there any evidence that Goodluck Jonathan was in touch with the Supreme Court justices prior to this judgment?

The supposed progressive

Pukkah:

This is the season of quashing and clearing.

The report did not mention the quashing of Alamieyeseigha's conviction. Never in the annals of Nigeria's democracy have more convictions been quashed and individuals cleared than now.

More and more convictions are being quashed and cleared under the corruption-friendly administration of the Chief Quasher himself, Conviction Clearer Quashluck JonaClear.

Nigeria is on the brink of being quashed and cleared!

It seems it's quashing season https://www.nairaland.com/1554313/abuja-federal-court-quashes-el#20195983

Good development. He who doesn't believe in forgiveness of sin should be the person to cast the very first stone. The judiciary has done well. Bode George your sin are forgiven, go and sin no more.

All of them are corrupt

Those were some of the cases that were taken to court in the midst of the MEDIA DRAMA and PLAYING TO THE GALLERY that went into the 'war' against corruption during OBJ and Yar Adua era. As expected, Nigerians, being DRAMA loving people, cheered on while the DRAMA lasted. However, after the DRAMA and PLAYING TO THE GALLERY, many of those cases could not stand judicial scrutiny.

As for the case of Bode George, the Nigerian people have LOST again. The time, energy and resources that went into prosecuting him are all LOST. He may even sue the state for damages and may end up with billions or millions awarded to him in compensation. And all those shenanigans happened in the name of 'fighting' corruption?

Likewise, in the midst of DRAMA and media fanfare, the OBJ govt slammed charges of corruption against former senate president, Adolphus Wabara; former education minister, Prof. Fabian Osuji and former health minister, Nike Grange.

However, after much DRAMA and dancing in the media the Appeal Court made the following statements while freeing the duo of Adolphus Wabara and Prof. Fabian Osuji of allegations of corruption:

"the charge was BOGUS and failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused persons.... the prosecution failed to attach the list of witnesses and other relevant documents to the charge as required by law....the criminal charge was FRIVOLUS, BASELESS and had no merit and as such could not be sustained"

Meanwhile, the Growth Enhancement Scheme (GES) in the fertilizer distribution system instituted by the current govt saved the nation about N25 billion in 2012. The N25 billion would have been lost to corruption if we had continued with the old system of distributing fertilizer. The Integrated Payroll Systeme has also saved the country over N120 billion per annum thru eradication of ghost workers.

Some Boko Haram and pension thieves suspects have been prosecuted and convicted SUCCESSFULLY. Many others, including fuel subsidy thieves are still in court.

It must be noted that many of the cases of corruption that are being prosecuted under this dispensation are the outcome of SILENT double layer investigation. The fuel subsidy thieves for instance were first investigated by a presidential committee on fuel subsidy (which consisted of experts in that field) and later by the EFCC before proceeding to court. This increases the chances of securing conviction in court.

Nigerians would have to choose between DRAMA/PLAYING TO THE GALLERY and real fight against corrupt that yields TANGIBLE BENEFITS.

dayokanu: Can the country get worse?

Alams was granted presidential pardon

Bode george now declared never to have been corrupt

With this ruling, Can Bode now sue the govt for wrongful detention and make his own share of the national loot

Whats the lowest Retardeen govt can go to? any guesses?

Yes, Nigeria and her system really need complete quashing and clearance.

NIGERIA I HAIL THEE - ALAMESIA WAS AT A WORKSHOP YESTERDAY TALKING ABOUT HOW YOUTHS SHOULD LOOK UP TO THEIR ELDERS

Publishing of falsehood by these journalist is unbecoming, I as privileged to be one f the Lawyers that appeared before their Lordships today nd can authoritatively say, that Kanu Agabi SAN was the attorney that defended Bode George and not Daudu SAN, as erroneously published.

laseconsul:

But if not for Sani Abacha, our path to democracy will not have been posible

in what way? he didn't die for democracy but his death brought about democracy....

former president of the Nigeria Bar Association , Joseph B Daudu

Too good at helping culprits get discharged and acquitted , I no blame you sha, na your work you dey do . Simply shows the rot in the judicial system .

Any Kingdom where a HEN is made the JUDGE,the COCKROACHES there shall know no JUSTICE.
Anyway,this is a nation where CORRUPTION is always CELEBRATED like CHRISTMAS
And our president cld be likened to a DEEP FREEZER taken to an ICELAND.

Ironically, the system has made it possible for him to stand on a podium and say such. He should be joined by another 'leader' like Bode George at the next event.

Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria *sign of cross*

The Supreme Court, in this
judgement, did NOT say that
Thief Bode George didn't commit the clearly evil act of contract splitting, just that it wasn't yet a crime at the time. Big difference.

Nemesis - and Karma - will
still catch up with him (TBG)
& his ilk, & help us sanitize
our society, God willing.

....................Loading....Alams...Al Mustapha.....Bode George.....Who is next? ....2015 on my mind? Hope they wont pay him reparation for the time he spent in jail

True.

I foresee more quashing.

Pukkah:

It is curious that the 'quashing' Court says contract-splitting is
'unknown to law'.

See excerpts from the Public Procurement Act 2007:


Fundamental Principles Section 16(4).
37. The appropriate methods, procedures and contract award for public
procurement of goods and works shall be subject to the prior review
thresholds as may be set from time to time by the BPP.

38. Value for money obtained through efficiency, fair access to bids
and transparency, shall remain the main objective of the Procuring
Entity.

39. Contracts shall not be split into smaller units in order to
avoid competitive bidding or be distributed among various lots to
different bidders to enlarge bidder participation at the cost of lesser
economy and efficiency.


I thought it was an exaggeration when it was said that it is somebody's
destiny to bankrupt Nigeria.

My brother, some judges are so so silly that atimes i begin to wonder if they qualify to even be village heads left alone presiding over crucial matters concerning pple/nation. I remember when a judge in appellate court asked and i quote "what is patent right? Are you talking about patent medicine practitioners?" That was the question of a judge in Nigerian court of appeal. Smh!

Criticism on gej has made him to even lose passion for the society. He might not want to contest again owing to this epic criticism. Maybe he just want to destroy d Nation within his capacity b4 he leaves come 2015.

Mr Presidenrt want to finish this country.And the so called Judicial system in this country is not helping matters at all.No wonder the Nigeria judicial system will continue to go down the drain.I pity all those law students.

I hear you guys. This was the same Daudu SAN that was at war with the Fed executive because of Former JCA Salami. Now you say he is on the side of governement setting free "corrupt people". These people are only guilty in the court of public opinion my guys. Please try to be more impersonal and judge with better insight many things in the public we see daily.

Some Nigerians shaaa

Why would a Court pronounce a judgement and we go on to blame the President or Governor

We blame FG for the things done by Legislature(including their allowances) on the President too.



If anybody has a problem with the judgement, we should take it up with them(judges/NBA).

I personally believe based on maybe sentiment(since I have no evidence) that he Bode George is a highly trained thief, but I put the blame concerning the judgement on the Judges.

If we hold the judges accountable for their judgements, they wouldn't collect bride or bow to pressure from external forces. but if we continue to blame Governors or Presidents(thereby absorbing the judges from blame) then we are on a long thing.

Same lawyer handled d cases.
Quash lawyer, anoda tool for aiding corruption and injustice!

Elders like him abi? What a shameless set of people we have in nigeria. In a sane world, pple like alamesia wouldnt even attend public functions anymore cos of shame. Smh!

I see another round of huge church event, thanksgiving party with aso ebi and presidential delegation and representation....

Sahalie reporters and their conspiracy theory.....what concerns GEJ with the court, the court absolved almustapha and George and not GEJ. I thank God for baba, now he should sue EFCC for damages

It's all water under the bridge. Verdict had been passed. He was guilty as charged based on evidence presented. This judgement is little too late. You can't wash off the spots of a leopard. Posterity is there to be reckoned.

The Supreme Court is a circus
