I don't care if they post the names of their corrupt officials, I am not going to protect my own, because they are from the same tribe as me. Come to Abia and see the widespread looting that both Orji Kalu and T.A. Orji have done to my state. I can only weep.

They have caused so many problems, that the state is the laughing stock in the entire South-East. Corrupt officials only deserve death in my eyes. How can you bankrupt a state, when there is so much suffering. I cannot comprehend how a person can be immune to the suffering around them and still loot without a guilty conscious. It leaves a distaste in my mouth. All the names that I mentioned are guilty of this.

Heads need to roll

[size=14pt]I would be the first person to press the trigger on any Yoruba man found to have stolen more than N5million Naira, even if that person is my brother. There is a scorge in the land and it needs to be exsocise if it means culling 200,000 individuals.[/size]

[size=18pt]Akintola advocates death penalty for corrupt Nigerians[/size]



CHIEF Adeniyi Akintola (SAN) has said that death sentence should be inserted in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt and Other Related Practices Commission (ICPC) Acts as penalty for any public officer, contractor, professional or private citizen found guilty of official corruption by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Akintola, who delivered the 2010 Annual Alumni Lecture of the University of Ibadan Alumni Association (UIAA), on Friday, said he had taken pain to study the average Nigerian elite and discovered that, “He has no shame. He doesn’t resign from public office, even in the face of glaring allegations of graft and abuse of office against him. However, he does not want to die. He fears death.”

Speaking on the topic, “Corruption and the Rule of Law, whither Nigeria?”, at the Trenchard Hall of the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Akintola noted that, “the little stinkers who steal the nation blind” cannot be up to 10,000 in a country of over 140 million people.

“We can afford to lose them. We can afford to do without them. There is enough for everybody’s need in this country but not enough for everybody’s greed. Let us rise up, therefore, to blow the whistle on them. Smoke and fish them out,” he stated.

The legal luminary, therefore, called on Nigerians to join hands together to confront and destroy the stinkers before they destroy “our common wealth and nationhood.”

Akintola, who said these corrupt Nigerians were everywhere — in commerce, industry, politics, civil service, military, legal profession, media, the church, the mosque, and indeed the entire fiber of the society, admitted that though they were few, they were very powerful, adding, however, that they were not as powerful as God and the will of the people.

The Senior Advocate, who is also a human rights activist and a social crusader, said corruption included all illegal and immoral exercise of powers, advantages, and or privileges, while the rule of law, which could serve as a check against the abuse of power was different from the rule by law, which operates in Nigeria and which serves as a mere tool for a government that suppressed in a legalistic fashion.

On the way forward, the legal luminary said there was the need for a synergy and or collaboration between the EFCC and ICPC, the Code of Conduct, the NDLEA, the Customs the Immigration, the tax board at all levels and professional bodies such as the Nigerian Bar Association, the Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Institute of Taxation, the Nigerian Union of Journalists, the Institute of Auditors, the Institute of Estate Surveyors and Valuers and the Institute of Quantity Surveyors, Sociologists and Criminologists in the universities.

That, he said, was necessary to stop political office seekers who are fond of making anticipatory declarations of assets.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, the chairman of the occasion, himself an alumnus, urged all alumni present at the occasion to invest in the Alumni Association and contribute to the development of the University of Ibadan, Ibadan.

[size=14pt]Thank God our intellectuals are catching the drift. I don't care if we have GEJ in or Buhari this is one law that must see the light of day. Our people need to be handle with an iron fist. I see how my country men and women come to the west fleece and abuse the governments of western nation off benefits, I find it revolting, these are benefits meant for the down and trodden of the society. How much more in our own country. These turn-coats would get away with anything including murder and nobody would holding them responsible for such action. Did a sitting Senator not commit murder in broad day light, what happened to him

The men in our ivory towers should preach the gospel of the death penalty to our students in the university, We cannot continue to let 20,000 or so people hold us to ransom, like the speaker in that piece rightly said we can do without them.[/size]

I think the Nigeria Labour Congress has a big role to play for any revolution in Nigeria to have effect.
