Confused. Is it just my own eyes or she actually does look more ancient than the guy himself?
Weird, and such an irony of life: How do handsome guys repeatedly marry women they are much finer than? And then ugly ones dey marry Miss World kinda chics... Hmmmm
But again, maybe na just my eyes dey deceive me sha

DesChyko:
You see Karma. All I see is Envy.
Perhaps when you can afford to fly abroad whenever you're so ill, then can you make a point.
For now, keep hating behind your keypads in your room while she's getting endorsements in the world.

naijanaso:
Caption is different from write up. Because of hate, we do not write objectively anymore.

saintgp:
I COULDNT CORRELATE THE RELATIONSHIP BTW YOUR NEWS CAPTION AND THE WRITEUP.

Even if u wish to draw attention,pls try and make it sound reasonable.

LMAyedun:
Lucky Igbinedion, James Ibori, DSP Alamieyeseigha, Demeji Bankole all defected to the Ruling APC.

Political prostitutes. APC should not take the same criminals from PDP. They are all fair weather friends.

Change is here.

kayboy4y:
Why didn't u do all these. SACRIFICE? Abeg park well and spare me those words. Kindly arrange your luggages to Otuoke and stop forming POPE the adviser. You had all the instrument to effect the real sacrifice and change we desire but you choose continuity in seeing corruption as a way of life. We didn't forget how you made life unbearable for us wen u increased fuel subsidy. Sometin that never exist. Our Chibok gals, Police Pension scam, immigration nko? The unremmitted $20billion? Chai, dis man is a mistake on Nigerians. Oga Jona, relocate to Otuoke. You're not a hero u're a clueless man. Simple!

Gasout:
Yes 'HE IS'. Imagine what the opposite would have be like if he refuses. When his selfish team and those idiots who have invested ransom on is campaign re worming up for war and those of the opposition party? Can u envisaged what could've befall Nigeria by now?

The Peoples Democratic Party has come under criticisms for appointing an ex-convict, Chief Bode George, into a panel to reorganise its Board of Trustees.

A Lagos High Court convicted George in 2009 for fraud after he served as Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Ports Authority. He spent two years in prison.

Legal practitioners as well as civil rights groups, Anti-Corruption Network and Coalition against Corrupt Leaders, on Sunday, condemned the PDP’s action, saying the party had no respect for the public.

Executive Secretary of ACN and former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Dino Melaye, and the Chairman of CACOL, Debo Adeniran, said the PDP’s decision was akin to legalising corruption.

Melaye said, “Almost everybody in the party (PDP) is an ex-convict, only time will tell. The party is about corruption, so corruption and corrupt persons mean nothing to them. He (Bode George) is still carrying our national honours and so you can see.”

Adeniran said, “Nobody is expected to associate with a corrupt convict that has not been discharged of the burden of guilt because such people will not do anything to discourage similar crimes.

“He is not going to discourage people of doubting integrity from assuming office as a political leader. By implication, such characters will infest others with the criminal virus because he exemplifies corruption. And since like begets like, whatever decision taken by any committee he is a member can only be seen as lacking in integrity.”

But two Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Rotimi Jacobs and Yusuf Ali, who spoke to our correspondents, differed on the issue.

Jacobs, who is a counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, while condemning the development, said it was an indication that the PDP was not sincere in its anti-corruption war.

He said, “Is that how the PDP will be fighting corruption? Is that how the ruling party will fight corruption? For a party that is supposed to be fighting corruption, it is a very sad development. It is the shame of a nation.”

But, Ali noted that despite his conviction, George had the right to belong to, and participate in the activities of a political party.

He added that the appointment was a PDP affair, and that the party was not the Federal Government.

Ali said, “The party is not the government. We should not equate the party with the government. Since he belongs to the party, he can function within the party.

“Even conviction cannot stop somebody from belonging to a group or a trade union. If he belongs to a group, he can take part in the activities of the group. It is different from taking public office.”

Meanwhile, a member of the PDP BoT, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the President suggested George’s name at the meeting where the decision was taken.

The source said, “The President suggested his name. You know this is politics; the President is losing followership in the South-West and other zones, so the best he thinks he can do is to look for those who can work with him.

“If he thinks an ex-convict is the best person to reorganise his party, so be it.

“Don’t forget that he said recently that another ex-convict, Chief Diepreye Alamieseigha is his benefactor.

“Ironically, both George and Alamieseigha were convicted for corruption. He has the right to choose his friends.”

When contacted, the Secretary of the Board, Senator Wali Jibrin, declined to speak on the matter.

Asked whether the appointment would not send a wrong signal about the country’s fight against corruption, he said, “I don’t know anything about that.”
