Only In Nigeria, Ex-convict,bode George Was Celebrated by Nobody: 2:52am On Feb 27, 2011
Nigerians have no shame whatsoever, political analysts say. Former Deputy Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ex-convict Bode George who was sentenced for two-years behind Kirikiri Maximium prison, over whopping N100Billion fraudulent contract Award that lacked due process was released Saturday in shameless great celebration by PDP party faithful. George was sent behind the slammers on 163-count charge of alleged abuse of office, sources told RepublicReport New York.

Bode George who was sentenced to a two-year jail term alongside some members of the Board of the NPA by Justice Joseph Oyewole was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on August 8, 2008 . He was accused on a 163-count charge that bordered on alleged abuse of office and award of about N100bn contracts without due process”.

Sources disclosed to RR that the prosecution had followed massive investigation conducted by Economic And Finance Crime Commission (EFCC) during Nuhu Ribadu administration as Chairman of anti-graft Agency.

Curiously, RepublicReport New York gathered for whatever reason the charges was reduced to 68 in October 24, 2008 after pressure from PDP party leaders pressured Ribadu to cooperate.

Meanwhile, credible reports say, alleged convicts were believed to have inflated contract prices contradicting Section 22 (3) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Act, 2000.

Shockingly, Justice Joseph Oyewole stood behind EFCC and alleged said that EFCC proved beyond reasonable doubt that Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), acted with impunity, abused his office as Court slammed him with behind bars Monday 26, 2009, reports alleged.

A respected commentator who declined to give his name said the “nest of thieves and killers are celebrating N100 Billion loot, and added, only in Nigeria”.

PDP didn’t stop there a church service was arranged for Bode George release as PDP Party Organization graced the occasion. Those in attendance is former President Olusegun Obasanjo and others, including “Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Ogun state governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, former Ekiti state governor, Defence Minister, Mr Kayode Ademola, John Odeh, Gen Tunji Olurin, Mrs Modinat Adedibu, Deputy Governor Oyo State, Mr. Taofeek Arapaja, Ambassador Musiliu Obanikoro among others”.

And shortly after, Ex-Convict Bode George has this to say to press-men, “Out there in the prison, you are totally blanked out, You don’t know what is going on, so, I want to thank you guys, thank all Nigerians with malice to nobody and love for all. We will make our country an envy to other nations. I have collected the certificate from the university of life and I thank God. I just graduated from the university of life”.
The question still remains: what happened to the N100Billion inflated Contract Award that failed due process?

Correction: Only in Yorubaland!

All their wealth is tied to the government and all made thru stealing and looting.
Why won't they celebrate him? Who are they going to brag about if not those thieves?

Yoruba people have no values; a people where a thief, Tinubu, is their leader.

Like Bode George like Abiola, like Tinubu like Kase Lawal. All thieves, smugglers and fraudsters, one way or another.

It is no laughing matter. Can anyone point to a decent Yoruba man like Anyaoku, Ekwueme, Bart Nnaji and millions of other Igbos? Just point at one. Even Obasanjo is also a crook. The dearth of decent people in Yorubaland is the reason they celebrate crooks. What a shame!!

Except my hero, Soyinka. I respect him because he is a man.

I recently asked a friend, an Igala man, to mention just one Yoruba that contributed something as head of a parastatal or as a minister.
He couldn't mention one name, he ended up telling me they were all thieves and useless for the country.

grin Obiaju, this is a well known fact, even they know it themselves. Without oil money to loot, govt jobs and estacode(s), the SW will become extinct.
This is one of the main reasons I refused to label the ND militants "lazy". Can you imagine folks who don't have oil, but are looting the nation dry and doing the "owambe" too. Talk about celebrating robbery.
Biko wan' em, my support for the militants was borne out frustration and stories like this.

My brother, I know. These people are shameless, and without govt, they will find it hard to survive. I just hope other nigerians are seeing them for what they are- govt dependent people! cheesy Why do you think they fought for one nigeria?

. . . but we don't celebrate those like you worship the grand thief, Tinubu, or give state welcome to a thief and ex-convict, Bode George.

Even Becomrich will tell you it is an abomination for a thief to become a king/leader in Yoruba culture but what is happening now is beyond me.
Shame on you all!

His mode of reasoning is very simple. In IGBOLAND we don't CELEBRATE looters/thieves, NEVER! cool

If any government wants to achieve success, it should better not nominate any Yoruba as Minister or Head of a parastatal.
It'll be a waste of space and a source of drain (looting hole) to the economy.
They've contributed nothing, nada, zeru, zero, okpu!

Another clown? These Igbo tribalists!!! Pathetic. I am appalled when people ascribe certain tendencies to a particular ethnic group. The fact is there nothing like a tribal thief, a THIEF is a THIEF. That a Nigerian malaise is now ascribed to a particular ethnic group is eediotic to say the least.

i ignore tribalism but in this here thread it looks like someone unlocked the door to the mental hospital. its a barrage of cretins regurgitating the paltry contents of their anorexic brains. i had to step in so i can administer their daily dosage of medication to cure their mental ailment. i am generous like that. call me a humanitarian, if you will cheesy
