Just on Tuesday, 20th December, the ex governor of Delta state was released from a prison in UK where he spent his jail term for issues of money laundering and embezzlement. It would be recalled that in 2012, the former Delta State governor admitted 10 counts of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering, and was sent to prison for 13 years by the Southwark Crown Court for fraud totaling about $77m.His people, Oghara kins men are making deep preparations to welcome him home. It is a case of saying "Thief, Barawo, Jaguda welcome home, we missed you". To add to that, you need to see how much of bis assets, both cash and properties were confiscated. There is no depression or recession in the house of politicians because they were never concerned about the people but their stomachs and bank accounts, lets not even go into that of Mr. Fayose who boldly withdrawed about 5 million with polythene bag from a commercial bank after his initially frozen account was unfrozen. Our Leaders get their wealth at the expense of other people's taxes,sweat and pensions. This christmas would mean a lot for them amd their children with their enormous trips to the diaspora. On the other hand, around, there lies a man still unaware Christmas is in less than 48 hours. He didn't have a reason to think of it because he cannot cater for the 'flenjo' of the day.

Am from delta but seeing how deltans are reacting to release of ibori makes me ashame to one. Can you imagine, the moment they will be the one complaining of bad leaders, in fact seeing their reaction made me believe the future of the state is condemned. And I pray make thunder fire all of them

nigeria is nothing but a geographical expression-ahmadu bello

As long as criminals were celebrated, condition of this country can never improve even if Martin Luther, Nelson Mandela, George Washington all resurrected from death to rule Nigeria.

They are all the same, if not that the major contendant from the other party are flying on wing of tribal sentiment I will seriously like them to win. Can you believe I did not know anything about otega of the apc until after the election when I decided to check is resume, all what I was hearing during the election is an urhobo must rule. One our youth don't understand is up there they are united because many of them do not have anything to do outside politics, back to the issue on ground after from the youth whose reaction to his release is sickening, to political office holders who even if they want to celebrate his release should do it in secret are doing it openly that means are doom in delta state

We are happy with the ones thay have gone to jail
Soon, others will go their own
