PoliticsRe: Court grants Badeh N2bn bail by olapluto(m): 4:18pm On Mar 10, 2016
2 Billion NAIRA! How much interest will that money yield if in GTB savings account for the period of trial?

Make the trial come long like typical election petition...

Anyways, if Badeh can afford 2B naira bail, he MUST be guilty. NO public servant who recently retired can afford such.
And I thought Metuh's bail was Nigerian record.

PoliticsRe: Nnamdi Kanu Trial...precedent Set Today: To Allow Masked/shielded Witnesses by olapluto(m): 12:03pm On Mar 09, 2016
Your allegations are false. The accused, his defence team, the prosecutor and the judge all get to see the witnesses. The only people who wont see the witnesses are the public.

This is needed since Mr Kanu insists on having his family members in court during proceedings. If he had forfeited that right, there wont be any reason for DSS to shield the witnesses.

Remember the witnesses are members of the public like you and I. The IPOB goons openly threaten even strangers, what do you think they will do to any one who lives amongst them but testifies against Kanu?

Lastly, I see Kanu's case going the way of Rev. King. He will huff and puff till supreme court insist on his death sentence.

Car TalkRe: Who Taught You How To Drive? by olapluto(m): 11:11am On Mar 08, 2016
I taught myself, albeit after bashing mum's car against the wall.

I was 'warming' the car every morning for a long time. One day, I moved the car. As our compound is big, I learnt a lot of maneuvering indoors. 1st real baptism of fire was at Orita Challenge roundabout Ibadan. Once I passed that, I was trusted to take the car.

So, threatening to push Emeka to his untimely death is called safety?

Wonders shall never end.
Emeka would have gone back home if he thought the threat was serious. However, Emeka is smart and knows Ola is a better neighbour than his people wherever he came from.

When this case first came up, my comment was 'bring back Abba Kyari from Abuja, and we will get the girls in no time'. Although from Borno state, this man has an impeccable network of intel in Lagos, Oyo Ogun axis.

This man will make a good IGP, but I believe he will be delayed.

if they're investigated, there's a case against them and they're tried and convicted, the maximum possible sentence allowed by law should be applied.

Our law doesn't prescribe death penalty for such cases, thank God Nigeria is not a sharia nation.

Ps; don't throw stones in glass houses
In hindsight, it would have been better if we had Sharia. At least our country wont be so poor.

Foreign AffairsIran Sentences Billionaire To DEATH For Corruption by olapluto(op): 3:11pm On Mar 06, 2016
While we are still wasting time on Dasuki, and Madueke is still at large, Iran is striking corruption dead.
The 'dangote' or 'otedola' of Iran has just been sentenced to death for corruption relating to oil revenue. Not only will the state collect all the money stolen back, the billionaire will also face death penalty.

Nigeria, when will we start doing the right thing?


An Iranian billionaire tycoon has been sentenced to death for corruption, the country’s justice official has said.

Babak Zanjani, one of Iran’s richest men, was arrested in December 2013 after accusations he withheld billions in oil revenue through his companies. He is said to be worth around $13.5 billion - or £9.5 billion.

The long trial held in public – a rarity for such a major cased in Iran – convicted the 41-year-old business man of fraud and economic crimes. Two other defendants of were found guilty of “corruption on earth”, the most serious offence under the country’s criminal code, meaning they too will face the death penalty.

As well as facing the death penalty Mr Zanjani will also be forced to repay money to the state, judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejeie said at his weekly press conference.

"The preliminary court has sentenced these three defendants to be executed, as well as paying restitution to the plaintiff," Mr Mohseni-Ejeie said.



By his own account, Mr Zanjani for years arranged billions of dollars of oil deals through a network of companies stretching from Turkey to Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. He amassed a fortune of $10 billion – along with debts of a similar scale, the tycoon once told an Iranian magazine.

At the time of his arrest in December 2013, a judicial spokesman said: "He received funds from certain bodies ... and received oil and other shipments and now has not returned the funds". Prosecutors accused him of owing the government more than $2.7 billion for oil sold on behalf of the oil ministry.

In a 2013 interview with the BBC, Mr Zanjani played down his political connections in Iran, saying: "I don't do anything political, I just do business."

Iran emerged from years of economic isolation in January when world powers led by the United States and the European Union lifted crippling sanctions against Tehran in return for curbs on Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

Sincere apologies. I was talking more of the tactical aspect than the humanitarian. Buhari used a well trusted military tactic.
PoliticsRe: Top Boko Haram Commander, 55 Others Killed In Malumfatori, Borno State by olapluto(m): 5:47pm On Mar 03, 2016
Truth be told, Buhari's approach to fighting Boko Haram has worked. He has attacked BH like a real general. Block their supply routes, box them in, hungry and force them to surrender.
That tactic worked well in 1968 to 1970 somewhere...

The story is the type that some enemies of Nigeria want. They dont know what really is going on, but once they hear Islam, Hausa, and Pastor's daughter, their heads went into overdrive.
The level of hate in those threads is staggering. Hatred for Islam is always exposed at will, even if the case is more individualistic than collective religious responsibility.

You mean Prophet TB Joshua is fake in fact I am 100% sure that you are sick you this faithless generation. I can say it clearly and loudly Prophet TB Joshua is the most kind and powerful man of God in the world. ESE's father who said he will go to Prophet TB Joshua knows what he is saying. Let any pastors challenge the God of Prophet TB Joshua and see who is God is powerful. I am very sure if your are to be on earth during Our Lord Jesus Christ you will be among of people that will call him fake, liar and crucify him. You better repent in other to progress in life.

So TB Joshua will be the one to torture the girl to submission? in the name of deliverance?

Nigeria is so messed up by the plenty f.oo.ls and id.io.ts that sheepishly follow religion the wrong way. This is clearly a case of teenage love. It has happened around the world. In many sensible climes, the law is applied where applicable. What has TB Joshua got to offer to a lady whose mind is attached to her lover?
She was not kidnapped, she eloped. All these sugar coated interviews of her parents cannot explain the fact that they failed in their responsibility. Surely Ese had been seeing Yinusa for quite a while before they eloped. The mum knew this, and thats why she was coy at the start of the whole thing.

I will advice the IGP to save Ese from both Yinusa and TB Joshua. She needs rehabilitation and pysch help, and not a deceitful preacher who will torture her to admission of being possessed. Once the TV cameras are off Ese, we cannot know how she's faring anymore. Maybe thats why she doesnt want to go home.

By eloping with the girl? While I agree with you about the insults and abuses some people may have rained on the north and Islam, which is quite sad and unfortunate, it is equally wrong for you to say that yunusa has behaved better than southern youths. There's nothing good about running away with someone's daughter. I know he's a kid himself and that's why the authorities should do the right thing. Return Ese to her people.
I can give you 1000 examples of girls like Ese, who had the misfortune of falling deeply in love with irresponsible guys. They get pregnant and abandoned. Yinusa wants marriage, ready for full responsibility.
