Yet Niger Delta people will be complaining that their resources are been squandered by other regions.
A good example is Governor Okowa planning of spending millions on Ibori's reception:

Shameless set of people.

vanbonattel:


At least the people chopped some good money and will continue to chop from Ibori, patience and tompolo.

Who has ever chopped from Buhari? either in cash or kind or any achievement, who has ever benefited from baba?

That's the same Mentality your elders had, chop crumbs today, you and your generations suffer tomorrow


If that 3B was used to build ordinary culverts, gutters or even bore hole water projects that community would be better

Bolustic:
The FG should not bother to waste scarce resources prosecuting these criminals because many of the affected are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome

People who could:

-Joyfully welcome James Ibori despite bleeding Delta state so much.
-Shield Tompolo from arrests
-Defend Patience Jonathan despite damning evidence indicting her

Afterall, it's their oil money

Is Tinubu not a greater thief than james ibori, why do u people celebrate him?

.
If not dat buhari is fighting his perceived enemies, tinubu should b in jail by now

passyhansome:
Those properties shown does not worth quarter of a Billion naira

Doesn't it make sense to you that these are some of the properties that have been recovered while others are still being investigated. Individuals who received part of the loot may have built their own property according to the amount they got.
Common and comprehension is either missing or deliberately ignored.

There are different ways too spend money; wisely or foolishly. If N1billion is donated to a community, there are different ways it can be used:

1. WISELY: Build a standard school, a hospital, fix the roads, sink a central community borehole and electrify the community. After these, there would still be some money left to be used for education loans/grants and small business loans. If the money is spent as highlighted above, its effect will be felt for a lifetime.

2. FOOLISHLY: Call all the adults in the community and share the money equally and everyone would go home rich men and women and the leader who masterminds this gesture would be hailed a hero for life. But while everyone in the community would be extremely excited at this option, it will not be more than a year or 2 before every single trace of the money vanishes.

Unfortunately, Number 2 above is the kind of wisdom most black leaders poses which has kept Africa impoverished. Such kind of leadership is also sustained because even the most educated in society, including supposedly enlightened youths support this approach.

In the recent past for instance, Nigeria enjoyed excess oil income, but the only reason Nigeria could have been hit so badly by the current oil price crisis is because when we had plenty, we spent it foolishly. We did not invest in fixing our roads, we did not invest in building high speed rails, we did not invest in resuscitating our dead seaports, we did not aggressively fix our dead refineries or build new ones, we did not aggressively improve our power infrastructure. So the question is, what did we do with that income boom?... We had leaders sharing money to friends, we had everyone buying and flying private jets, we were the worlds largest importers of champagne, we were generally spending and spending and spending and of course, when money is being spent randomly, it doesnt matter whether it is being spent wisely or foolishly, the effect would be felt by everyone in society from the top to bottom and every economic indices would reflect progress. But the real measure of whether the money was spent well or not is only realised when the money stops coming.

The Niger Delta for instance today is a mess not because money isnt in the region, but rather because the leaders and elders prefer the money to be paid to their personal pockets to the detriment of infrastructural development which would have improved the standard of living of everyone. Of course the poverty and backwardness is sustained only because even the educated youths that should have known better still celebrate people like Ibori as God sent heroes.

Sincerely if you are to look at it holistically stealing is different from corruption the man is a doctor for God sake he knows what he's saying. If someone steal money that's stealing and an accountant that adds some 00s to the back of a figure you say such is corrupt or on who takes bribe. Therefore stealing is not corruption,they are two different words. I op with these points of mine have been able to convinced you and not to confused you that stealing is not corruption.

I doubt this news.

Good

Na wa, 3billion for dis kind houses wen I dey see dere, make una show me hotels and club, mansions

See the kind of useless houses wey EFCC dey confiscate. Person we steal 3 billion naira go build this kind house wey driver for oil and gas servicing company dey build like 2. 1 for his village and 1 for city where him dey work. I think EFCC has lost focus.

Ok

Yes off course it is their oil. By the way who's shielding IBB , Atiku Abubarka, and all the other northern oligarchs from persecution. I doubt if they are any holier than Ibori or tompolo
