just an observation. You can keep your caustic tongue to yourself for all i care.

i don't know if someone else noticed it but yesterday, all the major matches 6 in number (premiership n afcon) all ended in either 1-1 or 2-2 draws.

[b][/b][b][/b]On Monday, a Federal Capital Territory High Court handed down the first conviction of persons involved in the theft of N32.8bn Police Pensions Fund.

However, in what seems to have turned out to be another wild goose chase in the President Goodluck Jonathan administration’s anti-graft war, the convict received what is tantamount to a slap on the wrist, considering the amount of money involved and the attendant moral issues, and not forgetting the implications for the nation’s image in the comity of nations.

A director in the Police Pensions Office, Mr. John Yusuf, alongside six others, was convicted for converting public fund to their personal use, an offence punishable under Section 309 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Laws of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria, 2007.

Yusuf had used the purloined fund to amass 13 houses in the FCT and Gombe State; while he also had N325m stashed in his bank account.

Initially, Yusuf had made a “not guilty” plea, which he later changed to “guilty,” obviously in return for a light sentence, which he got.

Under the extant laws, each of the three counts of offences carries a paltry two-year jail term or an option of fine in the sum of N250,000. The two-year jail terms run concurrently. And if he is able to pay the N750,000, he will be a free man.

The presiding judge, Justice Abubakar Talba, handed down the sentence on Monday, after Yusuf had successfully utilised the doctrine of plea bargain – a process that has been bastardised in recent times by influential but corrupt public office holders in Nigeria. The list is only getting longer.

It may be recalled that on December 19, 2008, an Enugu High Court fined former Governor of Edo State, Lucky Igbinedion, the sum of N3.5m, after he had entered into a plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Igbinedion had faced 191-count charges which were, on December 17, 2008, narrowed down to one after his plea bargain.

The final accusation against him was that he “neglected to make a declaration of your interest in the Account No: 4124013983110 with a new generation bank … in the declaration of assets form of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 27 (3) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act 2008.”

Though Igbinedion walked away a free man, the international community was not amused; and on January 12, 2013, the United States Government effectively barred him from entering its territory henceforth.

Concerned Nigerians cannot forget the sentencing of the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the now defunct Oceanic Bank, Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, who, alongside three other senior banking executives, was involved in a multibillion-dollar banking scandal.

While investors and depositors groaned in agony, Mrs. Ibru acquired properties all over the world, from Nigeria to Dubai, using their money.

She denied the charges. And, although sentenced on October 8, 2010 on a 25-count fraud case and ordered to refund N1.29bn, she spent her six-month jail term in a high-end hospital located in a swanky area of Lagos.

This is mockery of justice, when compared with the 150-year-jail term currently being served by Bernard Lawrence Madoff, American former businessman, stockbroker, investment advisor and financier who pleaded guilty to 11 federal felonies and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a massive Ponzi scheme – which defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars.

Time will fail us to talk about ex-governors James Onanefe Ibori and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, who the Nigerian judicial system literally handled with kid gloves.

But then, what sort of judiciary is Nigeria’s? How come the principle of plea bargain has become a dirty tool in the hands of highly placed criminals, while disadvantaged citizens suffer the full weight of the law when they commit misdemeanours?

According to the legal dictionary, “a plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and defendant, whereby the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a particular charge in return for some concession from the prosecutor. This may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to a less serious charge or to one of several charges, in return for the dismissal of other charges; or it may mean that the defendant will plead guilty to the original criminal charge in return for a more lenient sentence.”

While this system prevents a lengthy criminal trial, a situation whereby a criminal defendant undergoing felony theft charge is offered the opportunity to plead guilty to a misdemeanour theft charge is unhealthy for any justice system, as it sends wrong signals that it is profitable to steal.

Essentially, the process is unfair to the society where criminal defendants are involved, as in the case of these public figures, as its close relationship with rewards, threats and coercion potentially endangers the correct legal outcome.

Indeed, this tactic is prohibited in a country like the United Kingdom, where the prosecutor’s code states inter alia:

“Prosecutors should never go ahead with more charges than are necessary just to encourage a defendant to plead guilty to a few. In the same way, they should never go ahead with a more serious charge just to encourage a defendant to plead guilty to a less serious one.”

In complex cases such as major fraud trials like the ones under review, the overriding duty of the prosecutor is to see that justice is done. But in the Nigerian case, this is doubtful. So far, plea bargain has tainted the image of the Nigerian judiciary, as justice now seems to be for the highest bidder.

Just last Wednesday, an Abeokuta Magistrate Court sentenced a 49-year-old man, Mustapha Adeshina, to two-year imprisonment for stealing vegetables worth N5,000, with an option of N10,000 fine.

The nation cannot forget in a hurry the amputation of the right hand of Mallam Buba Bello Kure Jangedi – for stealing a cow. He was convicted under the Sharia law in 2000 by the administration of Zamfara State ex-governor (now senator) Ahmed Sani, who had been accused of fund misappropriation but who currently enjoys immunity as a public office holder.

The FCT High Court judge should uphold the plea of the EFCC counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), that Yusuf be convicted and sentenced as appropriate. Only then can the image of the judiciary be redeemed from what has come to be seen as a ‘Justice For Sale’ syndrome.

I have had similar problem in the past. After so much work by the mechanic i discovered it was leaking in the booth. So i had to change the tanlk and that was the end o the problem. So check if there is any leakage when you refill, either droppings in the booth.

As much as i was not satisfied with the playerspeformance yesterday (which i feel they did on purpose), we should avoid calling them useless and other names cos they are humans and playing football is not as easy as running commentaries with our mouth. The coach knows why he chose them. Just don't watch Nigeria matches with all your heart and of course expect little or nothing.

[/b][b][b][/b]Good Day All,
Yesterday while i was driving , i got calls from friends and family members that they received an email from my box (okon4goodnews@yahoo.com) soliciting for assistance for a niece involved ion an accident. On getting to the office i discovered that i could not sign back into my account meaning that my password had been compromised. People who tried chatting with the fellow thinking i was the one got a reply that they can pay into an account number with the following detail:
Account NAme: Dr. Okoro Stanley Adeola
Account NUmber: 3065865267
BAnk: First BAnk Nigeria PLC.

On enquiry at the bank i confirmed that the account name and number are correct but they said since my own personal account ( i dont have with first bank though) has not been tampered with i should not worry (can you imagine someone using your bank to defraud others and you are keeping quiet).

Please if you receive such emails, ignore it. Those who are close to First BAnk should take note oh.
How can i take this case up?[b]Good Day All,

Guy how can only you be still available on a whole page. Post your price and let people stake their offers.

All of them are the same, president , house and etc. Large sums of money yet poor implemetation. Sick of these people occupying leaderships positions

All of you praising David Mark have forgotten that he is the father of careless talks. Someone who said that mobile phone is not meant for the poor when he was minister of communications in the late 80s and early 90s; Someone who said that a private in the Nigerian Army is better than a Uniersity graduate is definitely a careless talker and should be put in the same category as Labaran Maku.In a sane society such people wont be any where close to the senate but this is Nigeria---ANYTHIG GOES!!!!

i have used those injector cleanrs and i observed that they actually cause dirts to settle at the bottom of the tank. Thus if you allow your fuel tank go empty i.e enter reserve and you refill, it mixes with the dirts and cause them to block the injector again and your car might begin to jerk even when you are on the road, it has happened to me several time and i had to wash my tank and the injector which was filled with dirts.

See this people, urea fertilizer that should have been used to develop the agriculture sector is now being used to make bombs. Na wao

It is only in Nigeria that these type of scenario arises. How can you change roads that people have driven on for years into a one way road and expext them to adjust immediately with no sign to that effect. That is rubbish. If there is no visible sign at the entrance of the roads and i enter there, i have committed no crime. While i am a fan of Fashola (He being the only leader we have in Nigeria as others are only occupying leadership positions), let him behave appropriately by putting up the signs.

There is no problem with the benz. Go with a good mechanic and let him attest for you. I use a benz 190 and i have really enjoyed it especially its ruggedness, balance and speed. Its fuel consumption may be relatively higher than japanese cars but thn the C-Class and other newer models have better fuel economy thAN THE OLDER BENZ. Besides maintainance is very cheap

If na to attack church they will not miss but if it is a mosque, it will be "nearly", "exploded before", "emir escape". You people should just tell us that is now a religious war....nonsense.

they want us to believe that muslims are now targets. If they are serious, next time you intend bombing the mosque, pls do not miss.

can't we just keep a player permanently at the net to block all these balls from entering? I don tire abeg.

All these happenings in a country that is still grappling with under development and hunger. A country of ONE WEEK, ONE TROUBLE. Now we are all complaining but when Pastor Bakare talks we castigate him. This government and the nation in entirety is a failed state. Mark my words, we are yet to see more.

i am sorry for Nigeria. This administration needs to be told the truth. It has failed and woefully too. I am sorry for Johnathan cos when the chips are down he will be at the stakes. Bakare is simply saying:
we are tired of an insensitive government of the richh by the rich and for the rich.

Now everybody is talking but when Pastor Bakare talk some nairalanders will ask him to shut up. I am sorry for this country. I won't pray for any political leader in this country cos they are all corrupt. Johnathan does not have the balls to tackle corruption.

dont mind them. Fake eyes, fake gap tooth, fake hair etc yet they want real men to marry them.

Okija how many vehicles did u travel in on your voyage cos i noticed a black jeep in each of the pictures in front of the car you were snapping pictures from.....aaahhh aaaaah !!!!! You don get convoy like the people occupying leadership positions in Nigeria.

Why all this cheap propaganda and publicity. As much as i do not like PDP, ACN is not better either. OShiomole and other political gladiators should strive at winning the poeple's vote through genuine means instead of all this name calling and Pull Him Down syndrome. We have a lot of way to go in Nigeria. Shame on all this people occupying leadership positions in Nigeria.

I wonder why some people support mediocrity. The problem with Nigeria lies in the national assembly and Aso Rock. This government creates policies that favours the rich and desecrates the poor and yet people talk so good about Johnathan. A govt that is so weak against the strong and strong against the weak can not be trusted. If we all keep quiet - who will speak for us?

Good Day House,
i am really impressed with the response rate here. Please my Nokia N8 dropped and the screen cracked, though i can see the interface very well as in there is no ink on it but the cracked screen makes the phone ugly. Please how can i get a replacement in Lagos9 probably around ikeja area and if possible the price since i will be coming from Ile Ife.

Please respond. Thanks

Well both the giver and receiver of the bribe are guilty. So what happens to Senator Ohembe even while Oteh has been suspended. I think he should face the same treatment.

AAAHHH!!! i ust took a glance at the post that Damola used in advertizing the car... he started ....'with a deep sense of regret..' Haba, na the regret we still dey dscuss so oh.

Well alot has been said here especially from the two parties involved. I see betrayal on the path of the buyer and then a seller trying to redeem his mage. It is not bad trying to trust people, at least give them the benefit of doubt. I too bought a mercedes benz 190 on nairaland. Though it gave me some challenges, God has helped me since I LOVE THE CAR. Been to 'Maiduguri' with it from Ile Ife.

But my candid advice goes to the seller (Damola), if you really want to redeem your image. DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR CAR. REFUND THE BUYER IN FULL. Then show prove of repayment (either bank teller or otherwise). This will show you are honest and you never can tell, people might just start doing business with you.

Good Day All, Please my little cousin scored 193 for Economics (OAU), please can some one tell me what the agreed cut off for post jamb (Economics)is or where one can get the information since it is not on the oau portal. Reply urgently needed.

Good Day. Thanks for the info but it will do well if you can give us leverage into what you do and your location in Ile Ife. Thanks

please incude pictures to make your offer attractive. I'm interested.

The truth of the matter is that two things constitutes a nuisance on Nigeria roads: Police and Bad roads.
I made a trip from Ile Ife to Onitsha yesterday. Left my house by 7am and driving at 100km/hr , i got to Onitsha by 12 noon. I even finished what i went there to do and drove back by 3.30pm only to get home by 7pm. I did not see a single police checkpoint on the road and there was great improvement on the road especially the edo stae axis.

Please so Oga Seun, Please can you give users the choice of viewing either of the two nairaland sites instead of just settling for this new version only. This new site is too too worded and not as organized as the former one. Besides i thought you said you were test running. The two should run concurrently. Please save my eyes oh!
