CELEBRATING A CRIMINAL

Celebrating the HTC (High Tech Criminal)

brightisodje:
you be FOOL GOAT go and meet buhari ur dead father that is changing ur lift

Mynd44! Lalasticlala! Dominique! Seun!

Northerners never believed Abacus never stole.... Westerners never believed Tinubu is a thief but u want Deltans to believe Ibori is a thief.... Ogbeni talk another tin jor

Is the word 'Youth' a collective noun for young men? There is no single woman in that picture and I have been dreaming about marrying an Ijaw woman.

How a thief can become a celebrity. Only in Nigeria

It is only among black people is there any chance that a convicted thief will be celebrated. That is one of the reasons why the blacks of this world remain backward.

Chaii,chaii . .,look @ how a thief was decorated .....And both are happy.Hummmmm this money you are sharing ......dairis GOD ooòoo

and these same bayelsans rioted when alamieyeseigha ran back home after been accused of corruption in the u. K.

Hmmm.

NEW TREND ALERT!!

I really don't find it comfortable when you guys call him a thief. Please point out a governor in this country that hasn't lined his pockets. This man set the infrastructure that remains in Delta state till date. Compared to the likes of other state governors and office holders that looted their coffers dry, this man built the state, empowered the youths amonst others and that's why he is still celebrated even after labelled different names from critics.

What infrastructure did he lay down, empowered youths how and with what? the man and his croonies have been in power since 1999, so which of his stooges should we compare him to uduaghan or okowa?Delta State just another case of the blind leading the blind.

The irony is that the same people condemning Ibori are the same people who see Buhari as their hero. The same Buhari who toppled a democratically elected govt and killed Nigerian youths unjustly as a military ruler.

In the US, a high ranking government official couldn't foot the bills of his son who was dying from cancer because his salary couldn't afford it. He almost sold his house when Obama came into the rescue AND Obama funded the medicals from his personal money, not government money.

What you have listed as the wonders of his tenure, if not for poverty mentality that is worrying you, are HIS DUTIES. Stop making it seem like he was doing his people a favour. The people employed him to work for them.


CHANGE your reasoning. Anyway, this country can never be great so why am I even advising you? Even if the country breaks up, with reasoning such as what you have displayed here, it will still carry on and those segments will still suffer what Nigeria is suffering today.

James Ibori will be like.....See this zombies wey i chop dere moni finish bt dey still dey see me as champion

Funlordmaniac:
Does he even know you? And you that is not his enemy what have you, your family or even your local government benefited from having such a friend?

Oga we from delta has benefited from him. though he stole money, but he is the best we have had so far. Are Deltans complaining? did he steal ur money?

What exactly did you benefit ogbeni? Did his regime provide you a job? A life changing contract? Investment opportunities? Please give us congent reasons and not blanket statements!

Even people in the u.k and dubai who don't really know him and would never ever step into delta benefited more than you on top your own commonwealth and you want to celebrate the guy that made that possible? Or are you related to that his girlfriend that was also jailed? She benefited and I don't see her crying on NL about what she got! Talk less of you!

Chiefpriest1:
How do you judge a man who is accused of stealing from his people , yet they revere him.

Ibori's issue is not as straightforward as it seems. Nine persons out of ten you talk to in Delta, will tell you Ibori is their hero.

Ask them about Uduaghan, who hasn't been arrested or jailed, you will hear them hiss.

Ibori might have got his fingers in the till (not justifying that), but he worked for his people as a governor. I heard Dickson praising him for the Burutu bridge today.

If you have gone through that area, you will know the purpose that coastal bridge is serving in linking several communities.

After him, what have his successors done. So, Ibori's case is like that adage that says " in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Na who dem catch be thief. Abacha died . they have been recovering money from him for 20 years. He was just president for about 4 years.

Babangida was there for 8 years, yet not a kobo has been recovered from him. Not even a court has indicted him. You think he didn't steal money?

Same for Abubakar who drew our foreign reserve down from 10billion to 1.3billion in just 10 months of his regime. Today he's buying up Nigeria's assets like Discos.

I am not from Delta. But my point is that Ibori might have stolen money , but he also worked.

He miscalculated in his politics. He had disdain for Jonathan because he (ibori) was Yaradua's paddy.

When yaradua died, it was time for Jonathan to take his pound of flesh and he did. He made the country hot for Ibori. If Ibori hadn't run out of Nigeria, he wouldn't have been jailed.

Long post though...

Your last two paragraphs is a good history lesson for most of the people in this section that know nothing about Nigerian politics.

So would you boldly say he didn't do anything in Delta State or to Deltans? Would you compare any of his successors to him in what ever category? Are you even aware that this man fought for the little benefit given to the Niger Delta today? Infact, are u or have u ever been to Delta state? You should be quiet.

Do you know what's funny? Y'all calling him names will be willing to align with him if granted the opportunity.

Why don't you ask yourselves why he is still celebrated even though he was imprisoned, called a thief or however you may put it. Perhaps you think you are the only wise ones and every other person is foolish.

Am out of here.

CROWNWEALTH019:
GOD BLESS IBORI


enemies of NIGER DELTA would soon come and spew thrash on this thread...

Don't blame those that speak against Ibori here on nairaland, it's all due to ignorance
We Deltans and even people from neighboring states know that irrespective of all the allegations of financial malfeasance against Ibori that culminated in his being jailed, his performance in government was never matched by Uduaghan in his eight wasted years and from the look of things,even this new governor Okowa we all thought would do better might even prove to be worse than Uduaghan,so Deltans and Niger Deltans can be excused if and when they have fond memories of Ibori as it was during his tenure they actually witnessed real simultaneous development in all parts of the state and the state was more united under him

Nigeria might hit a point where it becomes irreparable. How can a sitting governor give a convicted criminal such a welcome? No shame.

The POOR (intellectually & materially) will always be in Niger Delta in particular and in Nigeria in generation. The youths appear to have lost direction when I look at their mentors.

ariesbull:
Bunch of idiots and kaikai people

Yet your kind celebrates Tinubu, a drug baron & looter of the South West. I wonder what that makes you...

In as much as i do not like Ibori, are your own regional mentors any better? Enough of the hypocrisy.

otswag:
The problem with Nigeria is Nigerians. Delusion is when you hope for a better future yet do not hesitate to celebrate those that openly robbed you. Dis one Don pass ignorance. Walahi, Nigerians are just dumb.

Like they say, a people deserve the leaders they get. Bayelsa state alone has more wealth than most African countries. But look at how it is. See how the people live. How about Delta state? Sad. There is no hope, there will never be any hope for this country. And it is so sad because we could have been really great. When I look at Nigeria's situation I wonder even more if there is really a God that people are all so busy praying to. He either does not exist otherwise why would he allow these thieving evil leaders continue, administration after administration, to rape this country and get away scot free, living luxurious lives with their families while their people suffer and die. Or He has washed His hands off these monumentally self-centered and greedy Nigerian people, leaders and followers alike, that He gave so much but decided to fritter it away. I have 2 boys, 10 and 11, and they are starting to ask me hard questions about Nigeria that I have no answers for. Answers that make sense, anyway. How do I teach them to love this country when the little they see and hear is totally at variance with the values they are being taught?

While and/or after doing the things you were/are elected to do as a public officer, you are now qualified to steal from the people, I guess.

No vex, I am only trying to understand you.

And who says a delicacy of well-prepared 'suya' should be served other questionable public officers?

We really need to stop this 'show of shame'.

A thief who has stolen a Naira is celebrated [url][/url]
