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 as again. The time, energy and resources that spent in prosecuting him are all LOST. He may even sue the state for damages and may be awarded billions or millions in compensation. And all those shenanigans happened in the name of 'fighting' corruption? 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 convicted. 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 consistented 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. 2 Likes |

Sincere 9gerian: 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.

You said it all. Nothing more to add. |

The Supreme Court, in this judgement, did NOT say that Thief Bode George didn't do 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. P34c3 1 Like |
