the prosecution is one sided, just for only the supporters of GEJ and PDP henchmen overlooking the other alleged corrupt pipos from the ruling party

This is a shame on Nigeria.. pls lawyers in the house, I dont understand how UK can prosecute diezanni for an offence she committed in Nigeria and against Nigerian Government.

With all the lawyers and judges we have, how come we can't successfully prosecute one just ONE corrupt politician and have him/her return the loot to FG

When we are advocating for the emancipation and equality of women in our society, it saddens me that someone like dieziani maduekwe had the opportunity, to change the notion of the Nigerian women that is always seen as second class citizen, but failed to carry out that task to whom much is given, a lot is required all. she just achieved is soiling the name of women,and mind you she also dashed the hope of future opportunity for the women folk, by adding her name to the infamous list of women that has disappointed us from Etteh, oduah, to mention few and now allison topping that list, is it that female are worse corrupt than the male counterpart when given the opportunity, or what's the point of advocating? if @ the end of the day they don't use their office right.

She was bailed on the same conditions as she was last Friday, but can't leave the United Kingdom and can't apply for new travel documents.

She was granted bail again because of her health and is now due to return to court on January the 21st next year.
