Two men where voted to be governors of their state in the same period of Nigerian history. Both had the following in common:
1. They are thieves.
2. They both used the state funds to build business and political empires.
3. They are benevolent with their loot( But only to loyalists, who would worship and revere them.
4. They are both respected king makers in the political field they play( the sheikh is so grounded that even in prison he is able to control the state machinery of governance)
4. They both fought to give Nigeria a president they felt they could control; The Sheikh tried by all means to keep the late Pres. Yaradua on sit so he could control proceedings, Jagaban gave Nigeria a President with his very own personal puppet Vice President( he wasn't gambling, he is mafia and knows how to set up presidents and bring them down).
5. They are both feared and idolised by their followers and political protégés.


This is where the similarities end. This brings us to the differences between them.
1. One has expanded his empire and control to include the Nigerian media, of whom he is a grand patron, be it the social media, the broadcast media and the print media. While the other wasn't smart enough to foresee such a future of using the media as a shield.
2. One fell into a trap set by the former President GEJ and was arrested in UK, where he was forced to pay for his looting crimes against his state, as his state didn't have the clout to make him pay. While the other knew the game too well that he played GEJ by giving him his support over Yaradua and ensured his freedom from probe. Also giving him time to plot his total control of the Nigerian political field.
3. The EFCC has been nice and kind to the one who hasn't paid for his loots or served any jail term. But the other with only support from his state, no national power backing him still has a lot to answer for from EFCC.
4. The supporters of the sheikh thief have been castigated by all media, while the fans of the Jagaban thief belief he is a political god, and so does the media.

Now the question is:
What do you think will be the fate of these two thieves in the next four years?

..

Ibori gambled with Yaradua and failed.If yaradua had survived that sickness like Buhari;Tinubu would have been where Ibori is today and the later a godfather now.Its not lack of planning,but the fate of life
