Well, if they call him their hero, it should not be any of my concern.

lolzzzz.....

It's their business since they have become adamant to change. Even though ibori was corrupt, he's far better than the current governor.

It should be the concern of every Nigerian that Corruption could be celebrated like this by the masses who are the victims of it. It's mental poverty taht portends danger for us all.

I understand your point, however I will be more concerned if this is happening in Lagos or Ogun states, these two states are my immediate constituents

The jagaban of Delta state and indeed the the south south in the person of James Onanefe Ibori is out of the prison bonds that has long kept the Lion of the Niger Delta bound. Many Niger Delta sons have forgotten the fight he had to put up against Obasanjo and the Northern cabal to get the meagre 13% derivation the Niger Delta now receives. As a scape goat he was bundled by the north as a criminal we know he isnt.



Let us leave Ibori and speak of the former head of state and the 16 billion dollars that was frittered away for power. Am sorry, or should we talk about Folorunsho Alkija who became Africa's richest woman because of Oil wells that are found in the Niger Delta. These wells were bragged by her tribesman Obasanjo as the tool he used to make the former fashion designer to become Africa's richest woman.

Should we talk about Lagos largest land owner in the person of Ahmed Tinubu. Rather let us concentrate on Otedola and T. Y. Danjuma who simply became billionaires on the wealth of the Niger Delta. I decided to spare Mike Adenuga and Dangte who have diversified port folio apart from the huge oil wells they own in the Niger Delta.



We haven't even spoken of the CEO of OANDO [the Tinubu's] who exploit the Niger Delta daily. If Nigeria is to be a nation run on the principle of justice and equity then the Niger Delta should have the largest number of Billionaires in Nigeria however we see the region in poverty and lack due to injustice and tribal politics.

The bottom line is if Ibori is to be castigated over the wealth of the Niger Delta that belongs to him and his kinsmen. Then let the bigger crooks that have pilfered the nations wealth be castigated also. We cannot give preferences to crooks from majority tribes and wax their sins while expanding the sins of minorities even in their own nations.

For now the Lion of the Niger Delta is free and will soon come home.
