OP, you are truly confused and don't know the difference between detainee and convict....tell me which court convicted PMB and Abiola?

pls Buhari was convicted by a militiry panel. when military was invoke, people were sentenced by military panel.

jarkbauer:
I wont stoop and start calling you names however tell me the crime OBJ and Buhari were convicted of. Celebrate Alams. Its your choice.

If you were a student leader and led riots against school authority over poor state of your school and got jailed eventually.would you want to be categorised as a serial killer or an armed robber?

Every offence is forbidden, whether u r a killer or not.
those persons u r talking about were all convicted for treason and treasonable felony so what the Bleep are j u talking about?

How market zombies, I learnt pdp is winning some L.G.As in the FCT election?

jarkbauer:
Bros Celebrate Alams. You are free to do so.

Was Buhari's convict a political convict? was Obj's convict a political convict?
guy u better go n register for kindergarten 1

OrlandoOwoh:
You're confused.

u really passed through liar Mohamed's tutelage, attack the person's personality when u v nothing to say.

OrlandoOwoh:
Section 137 (1) (e) of the Constitution says: A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of the President if:

within a period of less than ten years before the date of the election to the office of President he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the Code of Conduct.

pls go read about executive leniency a.k.a pardon which is the prerogative of the executive and the effect when it is granted.

slimfit1:
The idiot will say Nelson Mandela is a convic too.

pls I refer you to what Abacha said about Mandela before he executed Ken Saro Wiwa. U like it or not they were all ex convicts. That olodo rabata quoting the constitution, pls don't forget the effect of presidential pardon. The pardon was granted to Obj Da chimpanzee to contest against Old Falae. I tut u guys are versatile but it was mere hyping. u guys were only lucky to witness free education bfor others.

where are those imbeciles asking for lying in state?

DaBullIT:
Mr Omowe

Kindly highlight what transpired exactly

u don't have data to open it, lol.
pls go meet Bubu da dullard to give u yo N5000 monthly stipend so u can afford because I know that was d reason u voted him

We are waiting for them come 2019, they should pray we don't win because we are going to so deal with any of their members.
We will conduct post mortem trial on any1 that kick the bucket before then. even though it is 500yrs, we must teach them a bitter lesson some day

DaBullIT:
You can't just think up stories

If they do the mistake of PDP relinquishing power to the opposition, then they should be ready to dig hole for their leaders, we will toe their line and even surpass their way of ruling. We must as a matter of priority make sure we jail all opposition leaders, be you an apologist or a card carrying member. We will come on them so hard that Abacha's leadership or tyrant lifestyle as being copied by Buhari will be child's play. We are going to shut down the courts because we will not obey them and as such no need to waste tax payers money on them. We will suspend better part of the constitution to the extend that even America won't be able to help them out.

Fmartin:
Mr. Ben Bruce i guess u ar new on social media to have relate shorthand ryt up to real English.

#common sense is nt common

pls tell me how the use of present tense in place of past tense a social media stuff. The dude being a zombie goofed big time by saying "establish" instead of "established".

divinehand2003:
Lol
Instead of apologising for any misgivings and stating the achievements he made while he was boss at NTA so as to educate his followers, AS A SELF ACCLAIMED RIGHTEOUS POLITICIAN HE USUALLY ATTRIBUTES TO HIMSELF, he has goofed badly by abusing his fan.

By the way, I see nothing wrong with the tweet of his fan, he only abbreviated most words.

not just abbreviation zombie, he used present tense where past tense should've been used.
on his sainthood, are u pained? u guys said all your members are saints, but we are challenging you guys to present a saint like Ben Bruce in your demonic party, apc.

slimfit1:
Who let people like you in here.

Receive knowledge of wisdom and understanding in Jesus name

if e pain u say yo heroes were once ex convicts go n hug transformer. Sorry I forgot the transformer in your hood has no power

Kyase:
None loot then, most of them are victims of coup.......

so u v to loot to belong to ex convict class? all I know is dat an ex convict is an ex convict, whether u assaulted someone and u r convicted u r an ex convict. I still maintain that they were all ex convict

OKDnigeria:
They won't even pay the money, ( court order or no court order). Not while Baba is still the President.

pls go and read about judgment enforcement. All they need to do is to file garnishee application. by this the court will invite the bank efcc is operating with and will order the bank to pay or the bank will face the consequences

Buharism:
none of the above was caught red handed.

but they served jail terms only to be pardon by subsequent heads of state and some died in prison I guess? if yes what do u mean by red handed? someone who was convicted needs no explanation to convince u whether it was red or blue handed.

Court Awards N10n Damages Against EFCC for Detaining Secondus
 April 9, 2016  News  866 Views
Justice James Tsoho of a federal high court sitting in Abuja has declared as unlawful, the arrest and detention of former
Acting Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Uche Secondus.
The court also awarded N10 million damages against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Secondus had approached the court to enforce his fundamental human rights, which he claimed were violated by EFCC.
In the motion before the court, he asked Justice Tsho to declare his arrest and detention illegal.
He also asked the court to award damages against the commission.
In his ruling, the judge said, “The first prayer of the applicant is hereby granted and the sum of N10million damages is hereby
awarded against the respondent (EFCC)”.
A month ago, EFCC arrested Secondus for illegally receiving buses on behalf of his party.
The anti-graft agency then asked him to return the buses

Is it that some Nigerians from that..... region are hypocrites or myopic. Awolowo, Abiola, Obj, PMB etcetera were all ex convict but were celebrated by same people. Why are they pained when we celebrate our son for fighting for resource control?

owoademola:
So, upon all he steal our youth still hail am....... na waoooh.

wearer celebrating him just the way u guys celebrated Awolowo the ex convict, Abiola the ex convict, Obj the ex convict, Buhari the ex convict. All these persons were arrested and jailed at one point a time yetbu celebrated them by giving excuse for their ordeal but expect us not to.

DaBullIT:
I assumed you had some sense , apparently you don't , why do you think i ignored your other mentions ??

Anyways , If he leaves the country or not , i have nothing to gain or to loose , Just kindly shut your stinking hole about fuel scarcity , hardships and everything else since you prefer for criminals to walk free

and in time , i expect to see you and other robots dance to different tunes

u had nothing to loose but you cried more than the bereaved but kept mum when Dalandar of CCT shamelessly said he freed Tinubu in error, meaning Tinubu too should've been in prison now gnashing his yellow sun teeth

omenka:
From one big criminal to another, good for them.

By the way, aint no reason giving a "tribute" now. Wait until he dies mr Ibori.

Both of them are more important to their people more than anybody in your state including ex governors to your State. So beefing others heroes and keeping your drug dons, stomach infrastructure, omo ni les and so on as saints.
we love them because they fought for us and were incarcerated because of them. for instance, Alamco suffered because he stood up against obj in NEC in several occasions, demanding for resource control and from a reliable source he was yansh●●● yo chimpanzee's wife who is late.

By Chief James Onanefe Ibori
DSP, I write this with a mixture of a heavy heart and compelling sense of
pride. Even as I mourn, I find comfort in the love, admiration, reverence and
even veneration that have gushed out for you from all parts of Bayelsa, the
entire Ijaw nation, and beyond, despite the political persecution and
orchestrated disinformation that culminated in the public hysteria against
you.
You can imagine the mixture of emotions running through me as I write
this. How can I possibly tell your story? Where should I start? It seemed
like yesterday when we took over the reins of power from the military
administrators in our respective states; Delta and Bayelsa. How can I ever
forget the role you played in resolving the chaos and disorder in both
states in 1999? Youth militancy, occasioned by deep resentment of the
Federal Government’s political manipulation and interference in the Niger
Delta, troubled both states. Unemployment, neglect, degradation of our
ecosystem, oil pollution and poverty pushed our youths to convene a
conference which gave birth to the Kaiama Declaration. Delta State was
overwhelmed by the Ijaw/Itsekiri crisis. How can I forget what you did to
sensitize the Chiefs, Press and Agadagbas to intervene positively? You
secured the peace that was essential for us to settle into governance.
I
can recall my first visit to Bayelsa State after the inception of democratic
rule; it was a forgotten state with one road from the East-West Highway to
Yenegoa and no more. We went everywhere by boat. Fast forward to two
years later; you had transformed the state capital and the neighbouring
towns and had by then started your fast-tracked development;
establishing schools, notably the Niger-Delta University, sending
Balyesans to universities and vocational schools abroad on scholarship,
etc. You provided stable power supply as Bayelsa was not on the
National Grid. You actually integrated Baleysa into the Nigerian State and
made it part of the modern world. How can we ever forget that?
You rose like a phoenix from the ashes of political discontent and discord
to bestride Bayelsa’s politics like a colossus. Your people’s love for you
was displayed on your return from London in November 2005. The entire
state was agog with joy not because every Bayelsan agreed with your
politics but because most Bayelsans believed your travails were triggered
by your commitment to their cause. Naturally, you had your ardent
supporters as well as adversaries; yet, you rode into Yenegoa
triumphantly. That was a memorable day in Bayelsa’s history. Your
enraged traducers sent a heavy deployment of troops to Government
House, Yenegoa on a “kidnap or kill mission”. The rest is now history.
How can we ever forget that part of our national history?
You languished in jail having been slammed with spurious charges which
you vehemently denied till you drew your last breath. As your health
deteriorated, concerns were expressed at the highest level of Nigeria’s
political administration. Emissaries were sent to plead with you to see
reason and end the ‘torture’ by pleading guilty; an overture you resisted
until one of our illustrious sons was dispatched to you in Lagos to assure
you of the government’s intention to pardon you after your guilty plea.
DSP, you know I have the credentials to testify to this fact.
Oh, how can we forget your address in court on the fateful day you
pleaded guilty?
I have recalled your travails to remind your family that you died in action,
and to reassure the Ijaws that you more than earned your title; Ijaw
nation’s Governor-General. You also earned your epaulets as “General”.
You led the battle from the front like Kings of Medieval Europe. You died
from injuries sustained in battle. You are our martyr!
Your spirit stoutly opposed injustice and tyranny. And in 2005 when
Nigeria was under the grip of a budding tyrant, you felt that injustice must
be confronted and that a society that cowers before tyrants is unworthy of
freedom. How can we forget how furious you were when Odi was
demolished - with youth militancy as a justification? And when a state of
emergency was imposed in Plateau State, you publicly condemned it as
an unconstitutional act of rascality.
DSP, the events that led to your death climaxed well before your
orchestrated arrest. The year was 2005 and the event was the National
Constitutional Conference. The Federal Government convened a ruse in
the name of a conference and appointed one of our illustrious sons, a
former Justice of the Supreme Court, as its chairman. Unbeknown to the
man, the confab’s outcome had already been predetermined in a
document containing the final resolutions – though the confab was just
starting. The document was handed over to the jurist; he rejected it and
threatened to resign. When he emerged from Aso Rock, he immediately
called on you for debriefing, after which he came over to see me.
As was usual of you, you immediately summoned a meeting of the Niger-
Delta delegates at Oghara, after they staged a walk-out from that confab.
You articulated the position of the Niger Delta; to insist on derivation
principle of not less than 25% graduated to 50% in five years. You also
advised them to coordinate the southern states in opposing any attempt
to ride on the back of our demand for true fiscal federalism to impose a
six-year single tenure as contained in that rogue report. The Niger Delta
delegates led the assault against the single tenure proposal; the real
agenda of the conference conveners.
DSP, you had promised to release your memoirs, but could not do so
before you were killed. We shall work with your family to ensure its timely
publication in order to do justice to your contributions to the Niger-Delta/
Nigerian debate. Unfortunately, many Nigerians who joined the public
hysteria against you were victims of media manipulation. I’ll only remind
them and their manipulators, of the French writer, Emile Zola’s words: “It is
a crime to lie to the public, to twist public opinion to insane lengths in the
service of the vilest death-dealing machinations.”
To the Ijaw people, I say thanks for the immense honour poured out for our
leader, who fell in battle. Such apotheosis is given only to the truly great.
DSP, the Ijaws and Niger Deltans salute you. We will honour you forever
because we affirm you as our true leader who became a victim of a
political “witch-hunt”. In 17th century medieval England, one Mr. Mathew
Hopkins styled himself as “witch-finder General”. What an irony; the
biblical Mathew was an ardent and devoted Christ-follower. Just like in
21st century Nigeria when political foes were victims of a witch-hunt,
Mathew Hopkins hounded the innocent, the weak, the clergy and political
opponents, exploiting the fear of naïve Englishmen and dispatched his
victims to the gallows under the guise of cleansing England of witches. He
earned notoriety in the process but earned money as well. Suspected
witches (and several social, political and even religious opponents too)
were so maliciously charged and tortured until they were either forced to
confess or they died.
Either way a person had no way of proving his innocence. One unfailing
method then was the floating test: a suspect was tied to a chair and set
afloat on water. If the person floated, he or she would be burnt as a witch,
if the suspect sank and drowned, too bad. In the Nigerian witch-hunt at
the turn of the millennium, a politician would be held in custody until a
guilty plea is secured or he died in custody. DSP, you were a double
victim; they forced you to plead guilty, yet, the medical complications
arising from the years of physical, psychological and mental torture killed
you.
Even as I carry my own cross, I can never forget what you stood for.
Those who knew the real you and the reason for your “death” will strive to
wipe the dust of unsubstantiated blame off your gravestone and leave
your name free from the undeserved dirt thrown by mudslingers, even as
we wait in the unfailing hope that one day the truth about your travails
would emerge. As Zola said in that newspaper article (J’Accuse) of
Thursday, Jan. 13, 1898, “As for myself, I have not despaired in the least,
of the triumph of right. I repeat with the most vehement conviction: truth is
on the march, and nothing will stop it. Today … the positions have
become clear: on one side, those who are guilty, who do not want the light
to shine forth; on the other, those who seek justice and who will give their
lives to attain it. I said it before and I repeat it now; when truth is buried
underground, it grows and it builds up so much force that the day it
explodes it blasts everything with it.”
DSP, time, the acid test of values, will affirm you a true leader who made
invaluable sacrifices, including the supreme sacrifice, on behalf of your
people. Time too will expose those who ganged up against you, framed
and hounded you to death.
A few weeks before your death, we had our last earthly conversation.
Despite your travails and failing health, you were only concerned about the
South-South. You said “Odidigboigbo, I eagerly await your return so that
we can begin the great task of re-uniting our people so they could speak
with one voice”. DSP, when I return, Nigeria will never be the same for me
without you. Enemies of our people, enemies of true democracy which
accommodates strong, courageous, vibrant and viable voices have
actually done their worst; they have “murdered” you.
My condolences go to your wife, Her Excellency Mrs. Margaret
Alamieyeseigha, and your children; Ayibatonye Gideon, Enetombra,
Ebipadei, Emebelakpo, Saleaka and Oyinkari
“Bayo-o”, DSP, “Mala’muke on parade”. Bayo-o, fellow bearer of the
Niger-Deltan cross, and victim of political witch-hunt. “Bayo-o”, great
navigator in the stormy waters of Nigerian politics - you broke the waves,
paid with your life but found devotion in the crew you left behind. Our
people will surely find the shores for your life will be their guiding
compass.
This is not the end, my friend. The prize we sought will still be won. Rest
in Peace; great “General”.
Signed: Chief James Onanefe Ibori.

Commercial activities were on Monday grounded in Okitipupa, Ondo State, sequel to the increasing fuel scarcity, the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
NAN checks revealed that many filling stations were not dispensing, while a few of them were selling at between N200
and N250 per litre.
The busy roads: Okitipupa-Ore, Okitipupa-Igbokoda, Okitipupa-Igbotako were deserted as few passengers were also seen
at both old and new motor parks while some pedestrians trekked short distances.
Few workers were seen at the Okitipupa Local Government Secretariat, the State Specialist Hospital, the magistrates’ and
high courts premises.
Some of the workers approached declined comment.
In spite of the market day, the main market also recorded low turnout as few traders and buyers were seen around and
it was unusually quiet compared to previous market days.
Some members of the public expressed displeasure over the situation, saying the scarcity had brought hardship to them
and their businesses.
They appealed to the Federal Government and petrol marketers to reach an agreement and find a lasting solution to the
lingering scarcity.
Mrs Bernice Ikumapayi, a teacher, said that she was trekking to her house since she could not afford the N100 fare
charged by commercial vehicles, instead of N50.
“I just thank God that we are on holiday now before the fuel scarcity bites harder, I don’t know how I will be going to my
school in Igbotako because salaries have not been paid,’’ Ikumapayi said.
Mr Akanni Sanusi, a commercial driver who lamented absence of passengers, said that he bought petrol in his car at
N250 per litre from a black market in Ore.
“We have low patronage of passengers now because Okitipupa to Ore is now N400 as against N250 and this is the only
way I can make up for my fuel,’’ he said.
A commercial motorcyclist, Tony Badmus who also lamented low patronage, said he bought fuel at N220 which made
him to increase the fare from N50 to N100.
“This scarcity is affecting our business; government must do something to arrest this situation because it’s unbearable,’’
Badmus said.
Mrs Shade Kuye, a petty trader, said that the scarcity affected her business, lamenting that no customer patronised her to
buy pepper, tomatoes and garri.
“Today is market day, you can see as the market is scanty as customers have refused to buy goods; we plead with the
government to have mercy on us,’’ she said.
A petrol attendant, Sayo Kunleola whose petrol station was not dispensing product, said that the station could not lift
fuel because of high cost.

iwakunbaba:
I still believe this is a SCAM to avoid facing the consequences of his actions

Just the way that ugly asshole from Kogi, Audu faked his demise because of the N11b he stole as a governor.
