In Nigeria no prominent man goes to prison,except it was politically motivated....

In Nigeria we practice law upside down,because the judiciary lacks the will to sentence an elite to prison,especially those that are in the helm of affairs....The law only works when you are poor and have no voice to speak out or bribe the magistrate.

What a sick country.

What more evidence do you need? Any person or organization that stand against the evil government are been killed, suspended or arrested.

While the lover of bandits like Gumi, hell rufai and a lot more are getting immunity here and there.

DSS are not making any arrest on everyone supporting the Fulani killer. DSS killed harmless people at igboho house for fighting for freedom of their people, They kidnapped nnamdi kanu from a far away country, but couldn't make any arrest on people like Gumi and hell rufai.

Who control army and DSS in Nigeria?

Only the people that benefits from this madness are in support of their government

My question for you is this, how much do you benefits from this evil government monthly?

What you listed is not tenable as evidence in the court of law, don't be emotional!! He might not be a fan of APC or Buhari set, but you have already concluded that simply because of his innocent question "where is your evidence?" Na wa for Nigerians o. Educated people thinking like illiterates. His administration being a failure doesn't mean he will be prosecuted with reasons you listed. Get mature bro!!

One thing about most revolutionaries is that, once they achieve that which they clamour for, they become worse than their predecessors.
100% correct.
Read about this Korean named Lee Bang Won. A movie was done to picture his life - 'Six Flying Dragons'.
After getting to the top, he killed all his 7 elder brothers due to insecurity. grin

Revolutionaries are not supposed to head governments, their calling is to take government away from despots and terrible rulers, hand over to a promising one and sit aside. But the lust for power wouldn't let that be and so a lot of them use the same energy used to seize power to terrorise the people they are governing.

Other people that are not supposed to be in governments are activitists, writers and philosophers, preachers among others. Their major work is not to govern but to judge and direct governments.

[According to a Human Right Watch report, President Kagame, who has been in power since 1994 and officially became president in 2000, has a long history of silencing dissidents but gets away each time. The report said, “Rusesabagina’s prima facie illegal forced return to Rwanda takes place in the context of a well-documented pattern of repression of Rwandan government critics, both inside and outside Rwanda.”]

Re: Paul Rusesabagina (Hotel Rwanda Hero) Sentenced To 25 Years In Prison by JudasNaKarrot: 4:38pm On Apr 04, 2022
This is politically motivated charges to shut the opposition in Rwanda. Read his profile below...

An account of Rusesabagina's actions during the genocide was later dramatised in the film Hotel Rwanda directed by Terry George, in which he was portrayed by American actor Don Cheadle. The film has been the subject both of critical acclaim and deep controversy, particularly in Rwanda.

On the back of newly-found international fame, Rusesabagina embarked on a successful career as a public speaker, mostly touring universities in the United States. He campaigns for the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, which he founded in 2006.
He holds Belgian citizenship, and a U.S. green card, and has homes in Brussels, Belgium and San Antonio, Texas.

Since leaving Rwanda in 1996, he has become a prominent critic of Paul Kagame and the RPF government.
He founded the PDR-Ihumure political party in 2006, and is currently President of the MRCD, a foreign-based opposition group to the Rwandan government.

On 31 August 2020, believing he was taking a flight to Burundi from Dubai, he arrived in Kigali, where he was arrested on nine charges of terrorism that related to his association with the FLN (National Liberation Front), the armed wing of PDR-Ihumure, who claimed responsibility for terrorist attacks in 2018 which killed at least nine people.

Rusesabagina has publicly expressed his support for FLN's "liberation struggle" in a widely disseminated video online. On 20 September 2021, he was convicted on terrorism charges and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The report is very shabby.
You ought to have stated the reason he was jailed.
For the benefit of the people that don't know Paul Rusesabagina. He's the hotel manager of hotel Rwanda that helped in saving the lives of hundreds of hutu and tutsi by housing and feeding them in his hotel during the genocide. He rose to became popular after the war and he's been living abroad.
He is the leader of the opposition party against their current leader Paul Kagame who has been in office since 2000. Paul kagame was also a leader of an opposition party that ousted their former leader.
Hence its easy to tag him a terrorist and jail him.

The irony of it all is, almost all these African leader always come in sheep skin when they are opposing but the moment they get there, they turn out to be the worst of all and wants to hold power for life. From kagame, to mombutu to moseveni ousting Idiamin, to pual biya Cameroon, bashar of sudan, late Mugabe, samuel dough to Charles Taylor, former angola president dos Santos etc Holding power for up to 20yrs and above.
Babangida nearly turned himself to a field Marshall if not for God.
Paul kagame is a witch and a bastard
