Girlwithwings:
Lol poor you, you sound really bitter. Keep ranting, you can't kill my joy. #blessed

Kill your joy?! Obese girl, are you confused? Did you somehow manage to eat the part of your brain that deals with memory? Do you forget how all of this started? You sent for me and I came, remember? Don't start playing the victim now.

BiafranNigerian:
This is not a country. You investigate a crime, catch the culprit, trace the funds and then send the person to court. You do not screen bank accounts based on amounts inside and go after people then start searching for the crime.

This is a zoooooo

Maybe that's how things will be in your proposed Biafra, but in other countries once they see suspicious transactions that fit the criteria of money laundering/crime proceeds, the investigations start off exactly as you said they shouldnt.

Why do you people love crime so much?

BiafranNigerian:
If you have ever had money worth being screened by EFCC, you will understand the nonsense they do. I have been called many times by these idiots to verify ownership of money and I can confidently say, it is nonsense.

You reason like a pauper, it is hard to believe the above statement.

Girlwithwings:
Yet again there you are trying so hard to sound smart. I'm all woman, I eat good and fully endowed. If you think having boobs and a flat tummy is obese, then you are probably dumber than I thought.



Lol that's not fair, I want to judge you too, show me your wallet

Typical perpetually hungry girl; always trying to put something in her mouth.

Young overweight lady, you are too far below the spectrum to ask me for my wallet. Oh, that was meant for the other poster? Ok, so now let's move on and continue talking about the death sentence your obesity is sure to bring you.

I do not see "boobs and a flat tummy". You need to stop deceiving yourself. Aside the huge ass stomach and breasts that'll definitely fall to your knees (and probably to your ankles) when unleashed from the restraints holding them up ---making you deceive yourself into thinking they're fanciful and attractive--- what I see are fat, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and a host of other potential fat related diseases that are sure to knock you out of commission before you hit 30yrs old.

You need to take care of your health instead of running your mouth online at strangers.

Girlwithwings:
You tried so hard to sound like an American but actually you sounded very fake and like a fool.

"Tried"?! If that's you in your profile pic, you need to go check your BMI, you're obviously severely overweight --- borderline obese, actually--- maybe the extra fatty cells are what's clogging up your medulla because it behooves me the insults and what sense you think you made with that crap that you couldn't seem to catch the sarcasm in my post.

You're Nigerian anyway, so maybe I shouldn't be expecting too much when it comes to using your brain.

cmart09:
You just pulled over by the police and you repeat this will they say ok go? .......or?

Believe that nonsense if you want, but I guarantee you,here in the good ol' United States 99.9% of the time you are getting dragged out of your car, beat down, tased, maced, peppersprayed, beat down again and --- depending on the color of your skin--- getting shot.

Just pray to whatever you worship that on the day you decide to pull such a stunt you actually run into a cop that gives two sh*ts about that law which you profess to know so damn well.

Mr. Obi Nwakanma, just a couple of questions for you:

1. Who is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Your country?

2. What is the chief function of a law enforcement officer?

3. Why do people whose name(s) bear a semblance to yours always have an affinity to crime and seem to dislike the idea of a society run with law and order?

They were born into an Era where suffering and a disorganized society is all they know. It's not their fault. They think it's their right to be paupers

babadee1:
My guy it's not even an issue of being objective. Pls what does the law say? Under every legal system in this world and in every country on earth if somebody gives you stolen money or stolen goods or goods bought with the proceeds of stolen money you are equally liable as the original thief. The best you can hope for is to be allowed to refund the money if indeed truly you did not know.
But realize that anybody can knowingly receive stolen funds and later claim that they didn't know so it's your words against the prosecution. And most times the judicial process will tend to side with the prosecution under those circumstances.
I personally know a friend of mine who unknown to him bought a car that was stolen. When the police finally traced the car to him he had to forfeit the vehicle to the original owner and the money he used to buy it was never refunded. If my friend had refused to return the stolen car he would have been charged to court for theft. That is the issue Metuh is facing now.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, or a defense.

rusher14:
It is for this reason that a plea bargain should never be entertained.

These same hoodlums would always repudiate their guilt once a deal is Cutcombe.

Accepting a plea deal/bargain is an admittance of guilt. You have to go in front of a Judge and plead guilty before a plea deal is enforceable.

I think the mistake Nigerians, and Mr.Metuh,are making is thinking a plea deal means they get a slap on the wrist. It is not. As AUSA (Federal Prosecutor), I remember off the top of my head more than a few cases where I offered plea deals (and secured convictions ) of Life In prison without the possibility of parole---- meaning they accept to die in prison (as opposed to me seeking the death penalty on behalf of The People, at trial).

If I was the Prosecutor in Mr.Metuh's case I would offer him a plea deal of 10-15 yrs in prison. I would go this hard because (as can be seen from his vituperations through his Attorney in the Dailies) Mr.Metuh still doesn't believe he is guilty; meaning he hasn't learned his lesson and will most likely commit the same offense if the opportunity presented itself again in the future. Either accept that or proceed to trial and get hit with the maximum sentence for wasting the court's time and tax payers' money when your guilt is finally established. It's not in the Defendant's right to ask for, or propose, one.

A plea deal is not a slap on the wrist. At least it's not supposed to be. That's not why it was created. A plea deal simply means: "I'm guilty, I deserve to be punished for my actions, I won't waste your time or money trying to pretend I'm innocent, so please go easy on me at sentencing". That is, in essence, the meaning of a Plea Deal.

Emmysteve:
I must say I am highly disappointed in some people especially the ones I thought would stand up against this era of oppression by the Buhari led government. I have never met with Olisah Metuh neither am I his relative or political associate. In fact, he doesn't know me but I want to put the record straight base on logical and rational reasoning. I am not in support of corruption even though I am totally against the ongoing one sided fight against it.

Olisa Metuh has never denied collecting the 400 Million naira from the Former President Goodluck Jonathan in the first place. Since his arraignment, Metuh stand is that GEJ gave him the money to carry out a project which he executed perfectly. But EFCC did all they could to torture him into submitting an offence he didn't commit.

For those celebrating that Metuh offers to return the "looted funds" while pledging his support against Buhari fight against corruption, let it be known that he was advised by his relations to take the decision and not his wish. The family of Metuh offered to source for funds and return it so that he can attend his medical needs since the EFCC are hell bend in torturing him till surrender instead of allowing the court to pronounce judgment.

Until the court says otherwise, Olisah Metuh is NOT guilty, he was only a victim of torture to forced him into accepting to return the funds.

Lastly, until people like Burutai, Kayode Fayemi, Rotimi, Aisha, Fashola, Tinubu and the rest are probed I will continue to see Buhari as an unrepentant tyrant.

2019 is not too far again.

You're not normal.

Flexherbal:
They should rent shops for the hawkers.

Or the hawkers should go to public school or go learn a viable and more respectable trade.

Emmaoga:
that's for a start or do you want them to start from your village river.

all the good things you are seeing started from somewhere

You're missing the point and that's why these politicians feel no remorse treating you guys like goats in barns while they live lavish; because you poverty minded followers feel it's your right to be poor and theirs to live rich on your commonwealth.

Do you notice that they put all the protection around themselves while they give you street lights as if they're doing something special? Why don't they give themselves the street lights and give you the CCTV? Do you get where I'm going now? Yes? No?

It's high time you realize the Government's job is to work for you and not the other way around.

AtlanticBreeze:
Unless the said petitioner is not an employee of the Abia state government as claim by the media aide to the governor then this claim is valid and you notice the only people supporting this illegality are APC members and buharists

Tomorrow, if this same man Is properly accused of diverting State Funds into private coffers, you same clowns will deny that's he's ever been in the employ of the state government.

TTdouble:
the Op said govt house and some vantage points within the state capital. i think it's good for a start

This is EXACTLY what it says: "These CCTV Cameras are being installed in front of the Government House and at the Udensi Roundabout all situated around the Government house and Police Headquarters."


If comprehension is a problem for you, its not for me.

collinsVP:
Too much movie. Cut it down.
What's your experience with crime investigation in America? People commit crimes and walk away undecteted on daily basis.

The law enforcement agents there are quite advanced but people still outsmart them.

Why don't you come over and take your chances, then after 15yrs in a state Penitentiary come relate your experience to fellow NL members?

ProfyJay:
In enforcing this law the state government should also make provisions for an alternative for these hawkers who rely on this business solely for their daily bread!

Alternative?! Provisions?! Whose problem is that? They are entrepreneurs, they should start another business that conforms with the law or move to a state that allows street hawking.... or pay N90000 and go to jail for 6months after each arrest.

TTdouble:
seems these guys down East are now working for their people. Seems the real change is going on down there

cc: Lalasticlara

"Working for their people" by installing the cameras mostly only "around Government House"? So, tell me what if they want to work ONLY FOR THEMSELVES what would they do?

I Googled the name of the main suspect, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, and what I found made the DSS allegations believable. He preached violence in the name of Biafra.

That said, those claiming it is unreasonable for a fellow Ibo to detonate bombs at the computer village because it is mostly made up of Ibos should think up a new defense. That's like saying it's impossible for Boko Haram to be Northerners because most of their atrocities are carried out in the North against their fellow Northerners. It would make sense to me that if an Ibo was to bomb anywhere outside his region, what better place than one highly populated by his fellow tribesmen so as to stoke ethnic discord, paranoia, violence and complete breakdown of law and order?

Although I await more evidence on this issue, my immediate impression of the named suspect is one in which the accusations should not be put past him because if his own words and writings are to be weighed fully, then it seems highly likely than not that he is capable of that which he is presently accused of.

Feel free to Google his name before his supporters start to delete his writings from the web.

In saner climes Mr Metuh, you will go through the rest of the trial--- or plead guilty(the choice is yours)--- get convicted, get sentenced to prison time and probation, pay restitution, then pay a fine. Basically, your guilt will not be in doubt at the conclusion of court proceedings. In the end I know this is what will happen to you because Nigeria is trying to restore sanity to the land. You can blab all you want to the press, the decision to declare yourself not guilty is not vested in you but in the hands of a Federal Judge. Keep on talking since you seem to be the offspring of a parrot. Clown.

Dottore:
Nigerians need general psychological rehabilitation. I don't know why the fear of poverty is making every public office holders to behave so delusional

Most of them have mental issues and they don't even know it. Imagine a society where corruption,bribes,stealing,murder, voter fraud and everything else bad you can think of became a culture so much so that the younger generation (not knowing anything else) thought that's how life ought to be lived. What a sad society.

realemmyz:
when we don't stop to face reality we will fail our democracy is growing but hasn't gotten to the extent of our court delivering the right justice to cases like this is d Senate and pdp to be precise the only one's that are corrupt at least he(president hasn't shown his waec certificate) they are really disturbing the proceedings of the Senate so some1 should please tell me why they won't clamour for Immunity

Disturbing what proceedings? The ones where they give themselves Millions of Dollars as allowances and you the ordinary citizens $43/month as minimum wage? Proscribe as law the right to marry 13yr old girls? Attempt to ban social media so they won't get criticized? Jail hapless homose*xuals for 14yrs while they run around trying to ra*pe hotel maids overseas before soliciting prostitutes in dark parking lots? Tell me, what proceedings are they disturbing by jailing the two crooks that head your Senate?

People like you are the reason why your National Assembly is full of mediocres and imbeci*les.

onepluone:
[size=18pt]Buhari impunity is out right criminality. He will surely face ICC for abuse of office and crimes against humanity.

Who the gods have cursed, they make mad.[/size]

That means you should look in the mirror.

onepluone:
[size=18pt]Buhari have ended 17 years of our democracy, wat a shame. [/size]

You never had a Democracy until 2015.

freeze001:
Finally, Igbos have decided to learn the tricks of survival. We can no longer afford to be detribalised yet watch others support and encourage theirs to our detriment. So we have decided to be tribalist and defend ours no matter what! You cannot accuse a govt of corruption, overthrow it and then imprison the VP (Ekwueme) while u leave the main player n President at the time (Shagari) in a leisurely house arrest because d VP was an Igbo man. Who should have been held responsible ordinarily and been punished more? Is it not d president? But because he was a fellow northerner Buhari let him relax at home while d Igbo languished in jail.
!

Seriously?! What of Dasuki? Why aren't the other tribes defending FFK? The truth is most of you are bigots, intolerants and tribalists . And quite frankly, I personally think a majority of you have gone mad with hate. You can't even see that most people don't take y'all serious anymore.

OjukwuWarBird:
You are disgrace to the educational system of the world

What will it cost bubu to show the world his certificate.

Hope you are not a descendant of Afonja.

The sad thing here is, NOTHING this man will show you will be satisfactory. You hate him because of his religion, tribe and the fact that he despises crime and a disorganized society (which most of you love and would rather).

The rest of Nigeria just needs to ignore you guys and keep on marching to their destination.

aresa:

Buhari Meets Former Colleagues From U.S. War College
...

Unbridled hate has made most of the people from a section of Nigeria run mad.

olaitoro:
why can't Buhari present the said certificate to rest this issue?

Same reason Obama withheld his Birth Certificate when dumb people called his citizenship into question: To make them look like the fools they are until it is indisputable even to the duncest of dunces. Don't refute anything they say, let them talk and blab until they can't blab anymore, and then when you get to the final fork in the road where you part ways, you show them the proof, make them look stu*pid, and keep on moving.

This semi-literate, so-called lawyer, was a clown of the highest order.

This tribal, bigoted, clown needs to be sanctioned and then disbarred by the governing body for lawyers in Nigeria. He is a total disgrace to the profession. Very sick individual.

andyanders:
Did you see anywhere I stated herein that the house is a mansion? I was telling them that the house cannot be referred to as a mansion in Beverly Hills.

I believe you don't understand English language hence your rant. I cannot argue with your person anyway.

Either you're shortsighted, halfway literate, just plain dumb or all three. Below is exactly what I wrote:

"That's Beverly Hills. That's a Mansion"

Then you replied with the bolded and dare compare my birth-language with your learned one.

Typical Nigerian.

sweetgala:
Well money and power are great persuaders, in other nations the DSS may be considering putting the clerk and his family under witness protection, I'm sure the senate leadership knowing fully well his statement is the key would be making every effort to try and sway his confession in their favour. I believe there are also those senate chamber aides who may have been privy to information.

If the Clerk should make the mistake of taking the fall for those two crooks (Mr.Saraki and the other Ugly Paranoid one) Im willing to bet that he will be hit so hard , that by the time he comes out of Prison his Grand Children will have Grand children.

My money is on him turning Federal Government witness against the Speaker and his Deputy; thats assuming he's a smart man.

49cents:
The Naira was over-valued since oil became Nigeria's main stay and that discouraged diversification and industrialisation whilw promoting importation of everything due to cheap petrodollars

As it stands now, the smartest thing to reverse that trend is to further mark up the dollar to N400 and give tax paillaitives to companies, social buffers to Nigerians in terms of mass transport, housing schemes, food availability and quality education etc

In about 6 years Nigeria will find its self in a superb state

Riiiigghhhttt....

"Tax palliatives" in a country that you can't tell who's a citizen and who's not. Until Nigeria can do such simple things, they'll keep running around in circles. The Naira is not overvalued, the last Government destroyed the economy by stealing what should've been used to protect the Naira at this time, thats why Nigeria finds herself in this quagmire. N165-190/$1 would've have been a reasonable rate if there wasn't so much scarcity of foreign currency.
