Life without emotion is meaningless. The reason corrupt people got away with crime in Nigeria is because millions of Nigerians has no single emotional attachment to their collective wealth. How can someone steal from you and you occupied most of your time and energy blowing meaningless grammar defending the indefensible? As an Igbo man I find that astonishing because our traditional Igbo culture abhors anything associated with stealing.

Let me help you to understand my stand point by quoting my previous comment in another thread before you created this one.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
This judge knows how to punish corrupt Nigerians.

EFCC should take most of their cases to him. Corrupt Politicians should be jailed a year for a million embezzled, stolen or misappropriated multiplied by the amount involved.

This means, if Metu is found guilty then it should be 400 years imprisonment.

If Yerima is convicted, he should spend 1000 years in prison.

From the above submission, it is clear that you are assuming much that have no relation to my submission on this thread.

Leave them to keep shouting one side. It is not about filling arrest quota (we arrested one PDP so we should arrest one APC so we looked balanced). He who is guilty should face the law, and if it's 90% PDP then so be it, they were in power for the past 16 years after all.



There are processes attached to the law and there is the perception of justice, and they are not always the same thing, neither do they always overlap. Processes are man made and can fail, but the end goal and intention should be what is kept in mind at all times - a sense of JUSTICE. Anybody you think should be investigated and is not being investigated, draw attention to it, gather evidence and submit to EFCC or other bodies.

Please, always be contextual and relate your submissions to the premise put forward by the op.

We are being presented with American system which is applied universally without respect of persons within their jurisdiction and consequently, it is being juxtaposed with Nigerian system that is totally flawed and inconsistent.

My comment remains: Equal treatment arouses no suspicion and I didn't mention names.

If Metuh stole and is proven guilty, let him be jailed 400 years but the same treatment should be meted out to others from the other parts of the country. The bigotted president himself said he won't treat everyone equally. So it right for everyone to be on guard and scrtinize to every move he makes especially those he declared 5% voters.

APC also has criminals too. In the US which you are using as a model system, presidents' buddies, high ranking politicians, governors in the ruling democrat party also go to jail for corruption. Why are APC members declared sqeaky clean?
Buratai has been fingered and we should all be intrested in how he is probed.

So why the noise about Metuh being in handcuffs?

Because he is from South Eastern Nigeria and belongs to the PDP. The remains of the former biggest political party in Africa is now resting in the south east and larger parts of the south south. Touching a PDP man is injustice to majority of the PDP members there. It doesn't matter if that PDP member has broken any law.

One of Nigeria most powerful man at a time; former inspector general of police, Tafa Adebayo Balogun was handcuffed while still answering to his charges. Obasanjo, a Yoruba man was the president at the time. No Yoruba man asked why he was being handcuffed. An Ijaw man became president and pardoned DSP Alams. Nigeria loves corruption. Hurrah! cheesy

I take your point, and agree I might have been too impatient in my perception of what you were trying to put across. However I still don't think you have proposed a clear point. I agree equal treatment arouses no suspicion, in fact I doubt anybody would deny that. But "equal" is subjective. So when you say "equal", equal according to whose perspective? This is bearing in mind that African Americans for example, would really take strong exception to your position that the American system applies the law universally. So I don't really see what overall point you have made. . . .

Applying the law and achieving a sense of justice are two different things, I would argue that both are important but the latter is the whole purpose and the destination the earlier tries to get to.

Keep crying for rogues that doesn't know about your existence. I rather spend my energy on something useful than crying for any politician. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Before you ran of tissue, just ask yourself this question: When Metuh was moving his errand cash about did he mention about some inconsistency and preferential treatment on how you and your family can equally get your share of the Santa Clause Dasuki's generosity? No!!
Despite everything you have heard and seen, many of you are still warped in ethnic political against the reality in front of you. These men are wicked and when it comes to sharing what belong to you and everybody, they don't care about tribe or language.
Why should you care?

Re: This Is How America Treat Their Yam Eaters by Marcelini(m): 8:28pm On Jan 25, 2016
OP displayed a clear lack of understanding of the issues he dabbled into.

The point was never about Metuh being convicted and handcuffed, the point was, why was Dasuki who stole more than Metuh allowed to walk into the court majestically, where as Metuh who stole less was handcuffed.

And so far, the OP had not even scratched the surface of that question.

All criminals must be treated according to the gravity of their crime, a situation where a bigger criminal is treated with kid gloves and a lesser criminal is treated with iron fists, must be condemned and is totally indefensible.

My advise for you is to focus your 100% percent on those accused to have stolen from you and leave politics for the politicians, that's unless you are one of them. Looters don't know north, south, Moslem or Christian, PDP or APC. A crime was alleged to had been committed against you, all you care about is wasting your time of which type of rice and stew did they serve which person based on their tribe. Even if Metuh was from my kindred, I don't give sord.
Funny enough, almost all the persons in the picture are strong Republican supporters and fund contributors who were prosecuted and jailed under Obama administration, if it was left for you, you will be asking why equal democrats had not been jailed before you can concentrate on what they had done.

Metuh deserves to die or pardoned with 200 years imprisonment and consfiscation of everything he ever acquired in his life. I hate when a big thief is caught and his fellow thieves come online to write thrash and destroy collective image of Ndigbo.

Igbo people abhor every form of stealing. I want every other Nigerian to understand what is happening in Igboland today. The thieves are the ones sponsoring everything and real Igbos don't love them but they control the media.

Buhari gave them option of returning the loots and getting pardon but they chose to challenge the General's seriousness. As for me they should be stoned to death.

If Metuh deserves to die, then Dan suki deserves to be roasted alive in a stake and served to the vultures, this is justice and the whole purpose of this argument that Igbo haters and naive Igbos are blind to see, but real Igbos can see clearly.

Who exactly are those real Igbos you speak of? Visit all Igbo facebook pages and listen to the thoughts of real Igbo people on Metuh disproportionate treatment, or better still visit any news stand in Igboland and get the opinion of Igbo commoners on this.

Real Igbo people know that Nigeria is not a nation and could care less about how much of Nigerian money Metuh stole, when they know that non Igbos like Atiku, Obj, IBB, Abdusalam, Buhari, etc stole more than that and yet walk free.

Criminal Justice doesn't work that way, that until someone you perceived to have committed a crime is jailed first then all other criminals are better left alone or that they are innocent or the criminal justice is faulty. I don't know whether Amaechi or Tinubu committed a crime, neither do you. What am after is that those presented to me to have committed a crime and of which non of them had actually denied receiving the money, only in their warped sense of reasoning believed that they have not done anything wrong.
If I remember correctly Tinubu was OBJ's nightmare during his tenure as president, knowing Obasanjo's penchant not to forgive, I doubt he will allow Tinubu to breath if he had something on him, knowing how he dealt with the likes of Fayose, Dariye or Alamesieyegha who were corrupt but flexing their muscles.
During Jonathan, again Tinubu was indicted, not for stealing but for keeping and still operating a foreign bank account he opened before he became a governor, of which he was tried in court in the open and was acquitted and discharged.
So I have no idea what some of you are going on about about Tinubu. Until EFCC and other agencies presents a case against Tinubu, am only interested on those caught in the net so far, whether they are yellow or black is highly irrelevant. No point wasting energy on how many free birds one could had caught in the bush when you got half a dozen in your cage.

You are missing the point. Real Igbos are only interested in what their family will eat tonight, not whether Metuh was tied with a ropes or in handcuffs. When this drama started with Dasuki, the likes of you screamed persecution of an innocent man whose only crime was he arrested Buhari during the 1985 coup, not until Dasuki started singing, they all changed their tone.
It is the same people who cannot stop saying how a corrupt Ekwueme was banged up in prison while Shagari the leader was left to drink his tea at home but I cannot hear them now calling for Jonathan the leader of the ATM government to be banged up first instead of Metuh in jail, rather Jonathan is free doing his goddamned lectures in Washington.
The likes of Metuh is the reason I wanted an independent nation for Ndigbo, so that we can go home and take care of them without them hiding behind the usual tribalism card as their defence whenever they are caught and the likes of you or your so called real Ndigbo will fall for their trick, over and over again. Unfortunately I am not that sort of an Igbo man. The likes of Metuh are real enemies of Ndigbo, when they are sharing their loots with northern and Western partners, they will sing one Nigeria more than the Funtua man, but when they are caught, they remember that they are one of you. I hope he is innocent, it doesn't look like it.

Despite Dasuki coming from one of the most powerful families in West Africa, being an army officer and being a Fulani like Buhari why are Northerners and Fulanis in support of his prosecution? The truth is that a thief has no honour among the people and it is same in Igboland except that the TANists are manipulating the media using paid agents and fake Biafra struggle.

In fact, why I see these criminals in Nigeria making so much noise is because of the corrupt nature of our people.

People like Dasuki, Dokpesi, Metuh and their likes should be given prison jump suits and be handcuffed in and out of the prison so that they will know what the other side of life is.

You can imagine someone like Dasuki sharing public funds entrusted on him for security as if he was sharing groundnut.

At his age and passing through such organization like the Nigerian Army, would not think about those innocent subordinates in the force sent to fight Boko Haram and also the lives of those innocent Chibok girls kidnapped, and he was sharing the money to his friends as if he was sharing groundnut.

Places like China, by now, he is supposed to be publicly executed.
