Ugosample: The difference is its not left to you, this is democracy, people go to court to seek redress, not burning people in hot oil because you think they are guilty of some crime. That said, the process of convicting someone is not by public opinion, you need evidence, just because someone is richer that you are doesn't mean they are thieves! Now, we all know that immunity covers most government office holders, that is a fact, its in our constitution. If someone is not a elected personnel and he is able to amaze lots of cash legally or otherwise, as far as the law enforcement can't catch him there is virtually nothing the government can do about it, even if everyone hate him to high heavens they can't arrest him until they have evidence. This is just a fact! if they do, he will just get out within the next hour and the government will just be a laughing stock. The point is guilt is not a public concept, its a concept of evidence and without real evidence nothing much can be done. 1 Like |

jaxxy: Firstly, The NJC recommendation is just a recommendation, in my own words the best course of action that will safe face for them and what they think won't bring to much noise to their house. Secondly, there is something in court that they call "the idea is, the accuse is the one that should prove that the money he didn't declare is not a proceed of corruption. Now if he can't justify how he came about the money in the different account, the court will ask that he should forfeit all. Lastly, settling out of court means, he has a feeling he is guilty, and trust the Nigeria press, they will paint him to high heavens. And as you know the government what to prove their stand on corruption and will consider this a declaration of guilt, you see the conundrum! |

I'm glad that Buhari's government have shown enough balls to finish what they started. The case has been rightfully followed to a logical conclusion. However, this should just be the beginning. A bias Judge is the last person you'd want as part of the judiciary. I'm not happy that the government seems to treat people close to it with kids gloves. However, make no mistake, a corrupt individual is a corrupt individual irrespective of whether another man is corrupt or not. 1 Like |

jaxxy:Well, I think he definitely saw that coming, reason why he quickly resigned with the hope that the singular act could appeal to FG and withdraw the case to at least save him some grace. But unfortunately for him, the FG refused to backdown. What this mean is that his resignation was not accepted and now he has been convicted and fired (forced to leave the office). What a disgrace! There must have been some strong and glaring evidences of his corrupt practises for the NJC not to have interfered in his trial and he knows that himself. This will serve as a warning to all the corrupt and intending corrupt public officials. Nigeria shall be great again! 2 Likes |

jaxxy: The NJC recommended was to the president and not the CJN. Besides the recommendation to the president was to retire him. Retirement and resignation are two different things. Stop sharing false information. The NJC didn't submit its findings to the CJN so how on earth did you get your claim that they advised him to resign? And again why do people always feel they know the law more than Judges and lawyers? See how you just murdered law with all your analysis |

AngelicBeing: Go and read what you typed again and tell me if you can confidently say that you are mentally okay. Are you saying that Buhari should go and start probing from 1979 till date? Now, tell me if Goatluck has jailed all the thieves currently in APC some years back and now Buhari jails all PDP looters, in the next few years won't the number of looters reduce considerably? But no, Goatluck cannot jail looters because his wife the cantankerous sheppopo is the number one looter under his region. 1 Like |

Ugosample: Charade? Haha I'm very sure onnoghen has sent someone to prison before for an offense not as serious as the one he's convicted of now. I'm sure you're not even aware of thousands of wrongly imprisoned individuals who don't know if they will ever see outside simply because they are found in possession of Laptops. These persons, some of which are common hardworking men and women are from all ethnic backgrounds and religion. I've never heard you or any other JUSTICE PURISTS accused anyone of selectively persecuting these people. You don't even know Sh!t about their ethnic or religious backgrounds. You are not even aware if any of them are from your village, or hamlet. But they don't matter to you, I know. You only care about Justice Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria. A perfect nail to hit your hammer of baseless ethno-religious sentiments and bias. Why so? Because he's a highly placed official whose rise or fall is somehow a valid representation of the character of men and women from your hamlet, village, local government, state, or country? A tribalistic perspective indeed. People like you only see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear. I'm very sure Senate President Bukola Saraki (North Central), former Comptroller General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, former NNPC GMD, Andrew Yakubu (North West), former governor of Plateau state, Sen. Joshua Dariya (North Central), former governor of Jigawa state Sule Lamido (North West), former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, Sen. Abdul-Azeez Nyako don't have their own ethnic or religious roots. Or simply, they are worth less compared to the saintly men that abode your enclave. Ugosample, you don't care about equity or justice or fairness, or truth. You are a tribal and religious bigot yourself. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sterope:one of the opposition.. That's it.. This isn't fighting corruption because it's one sided |
Re: Onnoghen Reacts To CCT Judgement Banning Him From Public Office by Sterope(f): 5:50pm On Apr 18, 2019 |
Corrupt opposition. The fight will always be one sided but it is not ours to choose because we are not part of them. They are two sides of the same coin. Onnoghen should not expect sympathy, how many of us did he call when he was receiving those monies and if Tinubu's time should come, I will have my fun. What I hate is people acting like this is all new because of ethnic bias, Nigeria politics has always been peculiar, sad and interesting. Jonathan is guilty of several acts Buhari has committed. pawesome: |

jelel6: the truth is that idgaf about any politician or public officer I just don't like the circumstance in which this case was handled He cash go to jail or fvck himself, I don't care, but when we live in a country where justice is an appendage of the executive and not independent as it's done elsewhere, it's a BIG PROBLEM That Foolish Nigerians have refused to see. We should get to that point where the FG does not have to send these agencies as attack dogs let the agencies be independent independent and nail these criminal elite themselves, regardless of party affiliations then wewould hace made progress. So so many criminals need to be shafted big time but Nigeria is just a useless country |
