The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Rivers State has hailed the performance of immediate past governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi at the Senate on Thursday.

The Rivers chapter of the APC in a statement by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said Amaechi had shunned his critics with his star performance.

According to him, “It can only take a Lion of Niger Delta politics to conduct and comport himself the excellent way he did. Amaechi showed dignified composure and a deep understanding of the dynamics of government. With the star performance of Rt. Hon. Amaechi during the screening, a new star in our national politics is born.”

APC added: “Today, October, 22, 2015, will remain evergreen in the history of democracy in our dear country and particularly to Rivers state and her people because it is a day on which the efforts Chief Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers state to deny Rivers State a slot in the Federal Executive Council fell like a pack of cards.

“We also wish to convey our gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for sticking with Amaechi, having seen his sterling qualities and the hollowness of the allegations against him by Wike and his co-conspirators.”

Rivers APC drew a parallel between the Amaechi-Wike drama and the account in the Bible book of Esther Chapter Seven.

According to the party, “In this great book, Haman (Wike) conspired not only against Mordecai (Amaechi) but the entire Jewish people (Rivers state) because of his greed and hatred for a man who saved the King (for installing President Buhari) whom he never wanted the King (Buhari) to appreciate. He Harman (Wike) told a lot of lies through NTA and AIT in order to hang Mordecai (Amaechi) through the illegal judicial panel he set up to try Amaechi but he Haman ended up in the gallows he prepared for Mordecai.

“In Wike’s case, he will eventually end up in the EFCC’s net after failing woefully to defend his corrupt practices when he held sway as Minister of Education under the discredited Goodluck Jonathan administration."

FlySly05:
Personally I still believe that if you spare the rod you will spoil the child. Johnydon citing examples of his mates growing up to be no-do-goods doesn't stem from punishments as children but rather lack of monitoring and affection. Myself and I believe I speak for most NLs who were born and raised in the 80s were raised with iron-fist and we mostly turned out well.
I have a cane at home for my kids when they get outta line, it doesn't mean I'm a ruthless, mean father but rather it helps in "sculpting" them to be a better person to themselves and a productive member of the society.

Trust me, I totally agree.
It is in the light of trying to be modern that these kids are way outta hand these days. It effectively worked back then, nothing stops it from working now.

nawtibownie:
Welcome to Nigeria where majority of our politicians are thieves and stealing is not corruption. cc: Saraki. They do crazy things and get away with it.

Trust me, all those mentioned in the post may eventually get away with their crimes.

johnydon22:
Beating a child doesn't mean she/he won't grow up to do what they want..

Look around you, is this not Nigeria? where we hold the ideology of punishing children..

why then is our society like this? why this level of moral decay? Don't they smoke pot and steal as you call it? why didn't the beating work magic?

Just this society is enough to show you that beating children is never a basis of their morality, they will still grow to be exactly as they want..

Beat them when you can they will get to a time when you cannot beat them anymore just shout and watch..

This should be enough to show beating or meting out cruel punishments on children has never solved the problem some rather compounds it because they get used to such abuse and it fans their rebellion rather than extinguish it..

And you think their society supercedes outs when it comes to morality.
There is a time when you can no longer beat them but while you can, please do. Punishment doesn't mean you want to kill the child. There are some forms of effective trashing that sends a message through a hard soul without physical injury e.g.

Psylas:
The woman is mentally ill,


so our fore fathers were living in sin before the white men came with Christianity(their tradition)

Abeg help me tell pastor Sarah o...

Exponental:
torture.... it could have a negative impact too.

Which kind negative impact...pikin wey dem suppose use broom reset...

Rainess:
The punishment is not too much but posting it online is too much. She is a child and she needn't be humiliated in a very public manner like this.

Rather it is a mild form of punishment. I would call it trimmed. When she grows up smoking pot and stealing, then you'd recall you should have done better when she's still a kid...

johnydon22:
She is fvcking mad....

White wedding was even a tradition adopted by westerners not too long ago...

Now we africans are starting to carry it on our head like complete lunatics and propagators of another man's culture.

Legally a man and woman in the African society according to OUR own culture are damn well married and that is that matters.

You can still sign your marriage certificate by notifying your local registry on your marriage..

Why has Africans decided to carry another man's culture and make it a norm to the extent of neglecting, looking down and chastising ours..

if this be so then i tell you..

If anybody African or white marries in the court or performs a white wedding. they are not married neither can they have sex until they wed in the African traditional way..
#Retard_s #SexualPervertion #MyOwnCultureBeforeOthers #LostInTheCultureOfOthers #WhoDontEvenCareAboutOurs... Rubbish..!!!

Pastor Sarah is only seeking relevance...all dis money making ventures

INTROVERT:
A very skewed argument.

May I kindly ask you what you mean by 'skewed'. Not sure you understand the message at all. Na only space booking and ftc u sabi...

Were the law of comparative advantage to be fully operational, Nigeria would have benefited tremendously from an arrangement where its criminal cases would have been firmed out to Britain and America.

There could be no better way of resolving all those high profile cases of assassination, murder, kidnapping, treasury looting and the white-collar crimes that have been lying in our courts. There would also have been no better way for President Muhammadu Buhari to give some biting teeth to his avowed war on corruption.

As currently structured, Nigeria’s criminal justice system is ponderously frustrating; and totally skewed against the state, which appears pathetically powerless against its own laws, no thanks to the cynical manipulation of the elite.

In simple truth, Nigeria is fast becoming the safest haven for high profile crimes and big-time criminals as it readily provides the best investment climate for crooks.

And incidentally, most good things go together. So innocently had Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s immediate past Petroleum Resources Minister, travelled to Britain to

access that country’s superior health-care for her alleged cancer case; when that same country’s superior justice system picked her up on bribery and money laundering allegations. The sharp-witted ex-Minister did not also forget to ask Nigerians to do for her, that which they do best – pray for her by fire and thunder! That’s one area where we enjoy some comparative advantage.

Madam’s experience is reminiscent of a rather disturbing trend that is fast developing in Nigeria: despite recurring anti-corruption storm, foreign capitals have always provided the opening of the corruption theatre of war. Why is it that people are innocent in Nigeria but guilty abroad?

We remember James Ononefe Ibori – convicted former Governor of Delta State, who got his judicial reward in London for proven sleaze after a Nigerian court under Justice Marcel Awokulehin had cleared him of all charges.

The case of Diepreye Alamiesiegha followed that same trajectory. His travail started in London, where the Metropolitan Police arrested him, even as a sitting Governor of Bayelsa State in 2005 from where he reportedly jumped bail and returned to Nigeria, where a sham impeachment process hallmarked his trial and conviction. Before his death last week, the British authorities were asking for his extradition back to Britain to resume his trial.

The ongoing saga of Buruji Kashamu, who is currently a Senator from Ogun State, also started in the United States of America.

As they say in the colloquial, “Niger Delta no dey carry last”. The funds in contention in the proven sleaze involving Ibori, Alamiesiegha and the alleged one involving Alison-Madueke are all Nigerian money. The salient question is: why do we show less enthusiasm than foreign countries in the recovery of our own stolen money and in punishing the offenders?

We are not in a hurry to forget that on 23 February 2012, Albert Stanley, then 69, the former head of the US Contracting Firm of KBR, was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment over bribes offered to Nigerian officials for the award of contracts. Between 2001 and 2004, the US Firm paid $180 million to Nigerian officials to secure $6 billion contracts for Bonny Island Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG, Project.

Apart from the term of imprisonment, Albert Stanley was also required to pay $10.8 million in restitution under the judgment, which was handed down in Houston Federal Court. Stanley pleaded guilty to violations of the Foreign Corruption Practices Act and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. KBR and its parent body, Halliburton, also agreed to pay $579 million fine after pleading guilty to corruption charges in Nigeria.

What is most confounding is that years after the bribe givers have been languishing in jail back home, the bribe takers in Nigeria are moving about in full freedom, accumulating national merit awards and chieftaincy titles of all description.

Enter the German Firm of Siemens, AG: In 2008, Siemens agreed to pay a penalty of $1.3 billion to the US and German Authorities who accused the Firm and three subsidiaries of paying bribe money to Nigerian officials. The Germans came to Nigeria, bribed Nigerians and they are being punished in their country for doing so. Nigerians who took the bribes are here in Nigeria being rewarded. What an irony of fate!

All we are getting from the EFCC is, “We will get to the root of the scandal and prosecute whoever is found to have soiled his hands”. After all these years, we are still trying to get to the roots while the foreign governments have since uprooted the entire tree and they have burnt the tree and its roots to fire their criminal justice system. And their engine of social justice is moving very smoothly.

The anti-graft war faces a serious paradox: Nigerians hate stealing but you dare not punish their sons and daughters engaged in it, thus lending credence to the ugly aphorism that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Things get further worse when we milk ethnic emotions to justify sleaze and threaten thunder and brimstone should an accused be rightly punished.

The war against corruption is on. Failure is not an option. There is no escaping the inevitable conclusion that a situation in which the West is leading the crusade to recover Nigeria’s stolen assets, while Nigeria watches hopelessly from the sidelines, is nauseating. Our judiciary cannot exculpate itself from the ensuing confusion and any accusation of weakness.

Still more deleterious is that situation where we are unable to account for repatriated loots. See how shamelessly the recovered Abacha loot has been re-looted over and over again? Is it not more comforting and cost-effective to leave the loot where it is rather than transferring them to bigger thieves?

We must be resolute without any regard to the perceived status of whoever is accused or the tantrums of his misguided people, including some community and religious leaders. All told, Nigeria has no choice but to totally reform its people and its criminal justice system.

Id4Jesus:
Watching everything in 3D

me watching in 10D...

I'm expecting some brainwashed fans to start saying the judicial system is picking on pdp members. They always come up with one excuse or the other.

StepTwo:
this is going nowhere.

our judiciary is completely our of order.

Sit, watch and wait...

LouisVanGaal:
Metuh would put PDP in trouble o! See party that's almost going bankrupt, and now this kinda lawsuit?

Abeg help me tell them...

Metuh's uncouth mouth will surely drive him into big wahala. Some blockheads kept arguing yesterday that he is effectively playing the role of opposition. You can only do that when you are backed up with facts, not just cooking stories from your oven and dishing lies out to the public. I don't know why we should even reckon at all with these bunch of nonentities after plunging the whole nation into deep mess for 16 years. Metuh should shut up and should stop trying to form relevance.
