let the Bastards go and answer for their goddamn crime. it doesn't matter anymore where.

what matters most is justice.If we can be guaranteed of justice in the US Judicial system(which i'm sure we will)
so be it.NO FUSS!

If You want to think of the Future then you must first deal with these criminals.Period!
U hav a point there.Save for national pride which Nigerians are well known for i don't see any rzn y they shldn't b tried in the States.But then there are procedures.If the Agency is able to establish a prima facie case,then they'd hav to apply for the officials to be extradited to the USA in a Nigerian court & if the verdict goes in their favor then the officials can b flown ova there.Anythin short of this will only amt to an exercise in futility.

Proposing to get more information will be more harmful to our people,lets be realistic do you guys think they cannot succeed with their findings? Lets wait and see if some Nigerians will be faithful enough by hiding information from them rather than collecting bribe to reveal the truth.
I don't understand,are u sayin it is okay to conceal the truth?For whose benefit?

Agents of the elite American Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) are on their way to Abuja on the trail of several former top Nigerian officials implicated in a multi-billion dollar scam at the Liquified Natural Gas project.

The agents, dispatched by the Justice Department are to gather more evidence, as well as probe into assets of the affected officials to be used in their impending trial.
All the officials served in three previous administrations from 1994 to 2004.

Washington said the agents will also provide "the smoking gun evidence" to officials of the Nigerian Ministry of Justice to sign off on a proposal to try all the officials in American courts.
Already, the administration has prepared grounds for the trial by approving for the case to be tried in the US District Court of Houston, Texas.

Court records showed that the officials whose names remain sealed until the case begins, allegedly connived with foreign businessmen to siphon over N21 billion set aside for the LNG project.
Already the alleged mastermind of the scam, American businessman, Jack Stanley, has been jailed for the crime, but has pledged to cooperate with investigators for a reduction in his sentence.
"This act reached up to the highest levels of the Nigerian government, but all those involved will be brought to trial," an official stated.

But the State Department has expressed scepticism that Nigerian officials will allow the affected officials to be tried in the US. "We hope the Nigerian authorities will cooperate with us to investigate this matter and bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. This will show the government is serious about its war on corruption.”

"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told Gibson. Russia invaded Georgia after the ex-Soviet republic invaded the separatist region of South Ossetia.

Palin said she had insights into US. relations with Russia because "they're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska , from an island in Alaska."

Muhammed, Rasullulah (p.b.u.h.) never claimed to be God and the Quran does not tell us that too, he, (p.b.u.h), was a human, a Prophet and messanger of God and he lived a fulfilled life as a human, messanger of God. The point here is that the person You claim is God, should not run for cover because God is a life giver and sustainer and is above everyone. Do you get the point?
Have You read the rejoinder to the book u mentioned?
If he's a bloody human y d "peace be unto his name"crap or the so called "SAW".Besides u only touched on the human part,what abt the promiscuity & deceit part.What abt the routine stoning of the devil part that kills in thousands,What abt the fastin part-u eat by 4:30 in the mornin & wait till evenin that is nothin but 1-0-1.What abt the issues u hav wit the eclipse claimin it is as a result of the sinful deeds of infidels.Listen young man Islam is a hoax.

Jesus was born human in order to integrate with fellow mortals,the corollary therefore is that he even though the son of the living God had all the traits of a mortal.He was born in a manger to an everyday family,grew up like every mortal,suffered for our sins even though he was of no sin.In the end he was crucified & rose from the dead to prove he was the Messiah.
If u think this is mere history then i shldn't proceed any further.And no i havn't seen the rejoinder,i'd b happy if u can direct me on how to lay my hands on it.

@Kola Oloye: « #5 on: Today at 12:20:19 PM »  
Read your bible. It is either that his mother, with the so called stepfather or earthly father, Joseph the capenter ran off with him. Or worse still when he was able to do it alone, somewhat older than an infant, did it on his own. Either way way we know that a life giver can not be running scared for his own life!

Kola, my man, read up on your Bible or just do goggle search on on the topic; Jesus escaped to Egypt or some thing like that. Or just say Jesus in Egypt. That should do it.

Am waiting for the man who wants to discuss Bible and or Qur'an! I wonder what shows?
Let us assume hypothetically that what u're sayin is tru.It is also in ur qor'an that  so called prophet (whateva his name is) also ran 4rm mecca to medina for his dear life,foisted his promiscuity on his followers & diguised it as a doctrine,sold his followers a dummy of "70 virgins per head" in aljanah & (let me pause for now & wait for the rejoinder)In any case if u nid more facts abt the greatest delusion in the history of mankind go read Salmon Rushdie's SATANIC VERSES

I'm show the bloody kidnappers are using spears. I don't waht would happen if we could send the army there, to rescue these poor guys. Thats what these people do, they feel the effects of poverty then they kidnapp hardworking South Africans. We are there to help their miserable economy.

This is a clear sign of stupidity. How can you kidnapp investors. Thats why this so called giant of Africa is struggling economically. They should kidnapp illegal immigrants and stop harrasing hard working people.
Sheer nonsense!What wld ur army do?We rescued u guys 4rm the belly of the beast & u kom here & run that gutter u call a mouth.Who knows, u cld hav bin dead in 1 of those SOWETO killings.It's not lyk i support kidnapping,abduction or anything of the sort but there's need for restraint on this forum.

But humans have existed , successfully, from the union of two people, Adam and his mate Eve! Thats wa avery very long time before Jesus can on the scene of mankind! In the time of Noah, as an example, many were perished and only those who survided along with Noah repopulated the earth! What role did Jesus place in the destruction of the many and the salvation of the very few that were saved under Noah? Zero!

And in the destructon of Pharaoh, did Jesus play any role? Was Jesus known at that time? No! And in that safe passage of Moses and the children of Israel through the sea, did Jesus entered into the equation? Again, no!

But even Jesus him was reported to have escape to Egypt at some point before the Bible reported that he was finally murdered! How is it possible that he is a giver of life, when he can not even preserve his own? You this guy, you need to reconstitute your thinking!
I hate to get into all these religous fray because of all the dogmas involved.But do u rilly want us to get into this Bible/qouran debacle?It cld get down right nasty.So pls evry1 to his own.

Lol, I knew you were going to go for the famous, FOREIGN POLICY!!! Anywho, be more specific please. What Foreign policy, to be exact?
Let me taq it 4rm here.In 2002 America was just smartin 4rm the attack on the wtc and Bush was realy "rarin to go".He had already chased the Taliban & Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan but that wasn't enuf so he & his cohorts concocted a lie about WMD in Iraq & sold it to the American populace.They sold the same story to the Security Council of the UN but nobody was buyin.While the IAEA was sitll carryin out their investigations the war monger cldn't wait & inspite of repeated warnings 4rm nations in the UN to allow the IAEA wrap up their investigations Bush chose to go it alone with their lap-dog Britain.today we know beta .This unjust war amongst may other actions(which i will refer to after the rejoinder because i can see it coming)hav further estranged the USA from the rest of the world and has emboldened other nations to acquire nuclear arms to defend themselves against any untoward American agression rather than intimidate them.This is what Obama intends to change & put America bak on the path of glory & align it wit it's estranged allies.Because no matter how strong a nation is, it can't isolate itself/herself from other nations in the global constellation.
