US news and World report huh?

Well, I trust their academic rankings and some others BUT THIS IS NONSENSE.

Based on what exactly?

Of course, Nigeria is corrupt but please tell me any country that lacks it. Even the U.S. Should score 10/10 in corruption..... Hey, I'm a scholar at one of their institutions but this is the truth.

Anyway, The U.S are still the world power with U.K. As their strongest ally but Corruption is deepseated in the U.S. in a manner the general public or eyes of the world cannot detect. #fact

If you will score US 10/10 on corruption like Nigeria, then I very much doubt that you are a scholar in one of their institutions as you claim.
In Nigeria corruption has become interwoven with our culture. It is part of life here. In fact, you will find it almost impossible to live in Nigeria if you decide not to get involved in one corrupt act or the other.

DropShot:
Shame!

Is there anything to be proud about, or to fight over, in the two cases? Only shameless people will do that.

Facts:
1. Both are criminal suspects
2. Different corruption agencies are handling their case.
3. Different judges are involved.
4. Different details, different circumstances, and different disposition in bith cases.

Uncooperative attitude of Metuh, displaying of impunity towards law enforcers, plus his diarrhea mouth have meant that he is jointly a scape goat alongside Dasuki in the fight against corruption.

So we can no longer criticize the government? Even the spokesman of the main opposition party cannot criticize because Buhari is president right?

Chief Ayo Adebanjo always on point. I wish the average Nigerian is as intelligent and objective. Buhari is bad news for Nigeria.

kingdompropty:
Since they have joined politics they will inevitably close down soon.

Don't mind the short sighted fools at Chicken Republic. They should work hard to make sure PDP don't come back to power because if they do, their business will suffer.

uselessgoat:
Why do igbos and SS find it easy to sympathize with corrupt politicians Many of those poverty stricken PDP followers who cant even afford a sausage roll are bragging about boycotting chicken Republic for making an advert concerning Thief metuh While they applauded AIT for making partisan documentaries about Buhari and Tinubu during the 2015 elections They claim Nnamdi Kanu is free to express his views by abusing Buhari and other Nigerians but are quick to criticize Chicken Republic for expressing their own views concerning Metuh. Talk of cheer hypocrisy :-/ Hopeless lpo-Baboons

Tell us which tribe you belong to and I will point out the corrupt ones from your neck of the woods who your people also support. By the way, what some of us are against is the violation of rights and deliberate attempts to humiliate an accused because of their political views. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting such practice.
The government should follow due process. We should not allow the country to be dragged back into a dictatorship.

zaynie:
The girl isnt to blame. She said she didnt know he was married. Ok.
The man nko? He didnt know he was married too? Took her out, snapped with her?

I wonder why they are blaming the girl. If the man is married, he should respect himself and the institution of marriage.

Buhari is a fraud. Extremely deceptive man.

sunnyflakes:
If you are a true democrat, you won't be here celebrating the defeat of democracy. In law, all persons are innocent until they are proven guilty by a court of law. Late President Yaradua gave life to the rule of law, a phenomenon President Buhari is fast throwing to the mud. how can a man be accused of taking about 400million and u place his bail at 700million.

The simple moral in all this is; steal as much as u can while you have the opportunity. So you can meet bail conditions anytime any day.

Metu can go to jail for the rest of his life if found guilty.

But the judiciary need to, very urgently, extricate itself from executive manipulation so that people will continue have hope in the judiciary. The most appalling of their evident retrogression, being the way they handled electoral tribunals across the country. Gush! it was too clear they were reading a script obviously written by the Buhari led federal government.

The judges of good conscience need to take gauntlet and move the judiciary out of this obvious judicial doldrum and quagmire. Sincerely, justice at the moment in Nigeria is at its lowest ebb.

Thanks man. Majority of the people are too dumb to understand what is going on. The future is not looking good for this country.

akinsbaba2015:
. The sureties are depositing with the courts title deeds of their landed property at a location specified by the court, all these documents will be verified by all parties, EFCC, the court registrar and the ministry of lands in that particular jurisdiction. Its no tea party at all.

But have you understood the basic meaning of the bail Metuh was granted? He will not pay any money yet.
From your excited reaction, you think he will have to go pay 1billion naira to the court. But that is not the case.

Love Machine:
The court is supposed to be an independent arm of government without being teleguided by buhari.

Of course. But not in Nigeria.

kay29000:
Pardon my ignorance people, I want to understand this bail thing. Does it mean Metuh has to pay 600 million cash? And will he get it back at any point? Please someone should enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

He is not required to pay any cash. His sureties are required to deposit documents for properties that are worth at least the bail money. This is to guarantee that he will appear in court when required. If he jumps bail, that is if he fails to appear, the properties are forfeited.
Having said that, it's still not easy meeting the difficult bail conditions the court gave. How many people can boast of properties worth 600m Naira? But he is PDP spokesman. So his party would provide sureties for him.

princeonx:
Do some of you really know the meaning of bail?
Most of you are calling it payment of the money he was charged for!

Most of them are morons. They think he is required to pay the money.

MabraO:
To the best of my knowledge I believe Metuh bail is total 1bn..
Wow!! U steal #400mil u pay back with a billion
Good investment

He is not required to pay cash. Don't get too excited.

DaBullIT:
Original investment plus Interest


I love Buhari

bwahahahahahahah

Of course you love him. I hope you know what it means to live in a dictatorship. It might be your turn one day. You don't have to be a politician to have your right violated.

IVORY2009:
The federal Govt is behind this case no doubt, I dey laugh na turn by turn

Of course it's turn by turn. Buhari will have his day eventually.

Saurab:
Too bad for him, his bail will soon total 1bn. I won't be surprised if he is been charged with another offence.

If they like let them charge him with one million offences. He will still get bail. Intelligent people can tell a witch-hunt when they see one. It's getting more obvious.
Buhari should make sure he clings unto power because if he leaves office it's going to be hot for him.

modath:
Nurse eh,

He will be cursing the day he set his eyes on Hero & for not using an untraceable proxy account to receive "Blood Money" from the office of the NSA!!

Where on earth will he get 3 sureties ?? Mehn these Judges be vexing gan oo

Nurse residency for Kuje go tay small.

He is the PDP spokesman remember? I don't expect him to have any problem getting the sureties.

byteHead:
Altogether thats 700million naira. Kuje prisons is now metuh's new home.

Get informed please. He is not required to pay any money.

TippyTop:
Bubu is now the President of the court of appeal and chief justice of the federation.

Nigerians have entered. It would be a bleak 4 years with this Buhari in charge. The man wants to destroy the little gains we made in democracy.

Lionsclaw:
you are really petty.
You think Obi will be there if Ngige did not personally invite him. They are both former governors
Abi u think politicians take bitterness to heart like you.
I am not surprised your comment shows what part of the country you are from

Don't mind him.

nemadfsyahooc:
Let me add my voice here, bail money or property is not deposited anywhere. It is called bail bond. Bond because its a written agreement that surety will provide the accused in court whenever needed and a guarantee that he will not jumb bail. Its only when e jumb bail that the court confisticate the properties in the bail bond. Simple. Abi una never go bail person for court b4 no.

You are correct. You don't have to deposit any cash.

Themaingate:
All those things you guys are reading online about meaning of bail does not work in Nigeria.

Here in Nigeria once the court grant someone BAIL, BEFORE THAT PERSON CAN BE RELEASE FROM PRISON, THE SURETIES MUST PAY 10% OF THE SAID AMOUNT. GO ASK ANY LAWYER

Not true. Conditions are generally at the discretion of the Judge. And you usually don't have to deposit any money before being released. Paying cash only happens if accused fails to appear in court for trial.

Mike008:
Under the Nigerian Criminal Justice System.
Any of the following Conditions/Terms/Types (however you chose to call it) of bail are usually utilized by the courts or police.

1. Bail on self-recognizance: this is where an accused person is granted bail on the basis of his status or reputation, with the belief that, he will attend his trial. The accused person is not required to enter into a bond or provide sureties.

2. Bail on bond for a fixed amount: here an accused person executes a bond i.e. an agreement, for a fixed amount without a surety that he will appear in court or police station on a specified date. Where the accused person fails to appear in court on the stipulated date, he will be liable to pay the amount stated in the bond.

3. Bail on a bond with surety (ies) : here, an accused person produces one or more sureties who executes a bond on behalf of the accused, guaranteeing his attendance to court. As in the above case, the sureties will be liable to the sum in the bail bond.

4. Deposit of Money Instead of a Bond : here the accused person applies to pay a sum of money as deposit instead of entering into a bond.

Note: because certain bail conditions are at the discretion of the courts, the courts may impute additional conditions to ensure compliance in cases where bail should ordinarily not be granted, e.g. Capital offences. Consequently, courts may demand that a surety must be resident within jurisdiction, own landed property or swear to an affidavit or the accused person deposits his international passport.

Thanks for the explanation. This clears the confusion most of us are having on what bail really means in Nigeria.

ccoolitempa:
This is very simple...no confusion here. Bail money is demanded by the court as a sort of guarantee to stop an individual fleeing/not showing up in court and if that bail is provided, the individual under trial is then released to stand trial but the bail is held in the custody of the court. If the individual does not show up, the bail is forfeited by the individual who put up the bail. This is held until the end of the trial whatever the outcome.

If bail money is paid to the court, what is then the need for submitting the C of O to a property that covers the bail money?

orobs93:
So
Is he not a thief?

Magistrate, have you convicted him yet?

madridguy:
The Order from above should have be " shot his head ".

Go work on your grammar first.

irunooboo:
We need you and your boys in the southeast to quench biafra agitations more than this asset declaration. We must not allow any part of Nigeria to break especially the SS/SE. one Nigeria we shall remain

Why are you worried about ss/se breaking away? You don't think you can survive without them?

So terror suspects are not cuffed but some morons justify cuffing the PDP spokesman. This is really a terrible country.

Nigerian thugs in uniform beware. You may think you are above the law in Nigeria, but your behind can be dragged abroad and sued.

wirinet:
Clowns. Who will register the judgement of Britains invasion of Falkland Islands and Iraq.

Were they sued?

iamKeo:
Tho I didn't read the whole story just the head line but I've never heard of Nigeria court doing same thing to London military or any military atall

Well, UK is one of the super powers. Nigeria is not. Also, UK military are not brutes like our military.
