Politics / Re: The Evil Nigerian Immunity Clause by ElChe1: 11:59pm On Feb 11, 2013
All your vehement argument in support of immunity was swept inside the gutter with your own hands in the 2nd to the last paragraph to wit:"If the war against corruption is to be won, it should start with sending corrupt officials to jail and returning looted property to the public till. This can be achieved not by bickering over the immunity clause but by showing demonstrable political will to punish corruption. What stops us from setting up special courts to give expedited trial to public officers accused of abuse of office." So try to answer this question wise one, " if the President who should galvanise this political will you are mouthing here is manifestly corrupt, who shall galvanise the will? The IGP, Senate President, CJN, Governors' Forum? Who? Who will set up the Special Courts, a corrupt President. Who will appoint the judges there, the corrupt President. You see that if the head is rotten, nothing meaningful can come out of the entire body, no matter how hard you try. I always see people that condone the irresponsibility of the No. 1 seat of power as uninformed and sheer illiterates. I see them as people who are just here on earth to eat and shit without using their senses for anything reasonable. Can migrane be compared to a foot-ache? You mentioned Judicial officers and Lawmakers who have immunity to "say" things while in their chambers. Is the immunity to "say" the same thing as the immunity to "do". You amuse me to no end. Look, the sheer fact that some advance countries practice immunity is no reason why we should practise it too. Ours is a peculiar country with a peculiar culture. If 5 Presidents are sent to jail in a year in Nigeria, you will discover that Ministers will sit up and Governors will rule well. The idea of clothing people with immunity and after 8 years they become semi-gods that no judicial officer can arrest in Nigeria is foolish and unthinkable. We can continue calling ourselves a nation while other countries try and jail criminals who ruled us in their country for us. Pleeeeease say something better. [/color]
