If you guys in government and politics (APC & PDP) do not work towards improving the standard of living in Nigeria, you're just breeding kidnappers and armed robbers cos when these boys finish serving their jail terms with nothing tangible to return to, kidnappings and robberies would be the order of the day...

Big thieves keep jailing small thieves...

Where is the face of Maina's Son who pulled a gun at Dss officials that came to arrest his thiefing Father?

$1500?.....Only 1 month jail?

He will be back at it next month!

If he gives me $1400 ill do the time for him!

He would be released on that day since he has already spent the one month in EFCC's custody.
