TimeManager:This is epic. their attitude reminds me of village witches who always appear surprised that people think they are heartless. The truth is being heartless is the whole point of wizardry and robbery and the adulation by robbers. It is hardly their fault. many of them grow with nothing but crimes in their mind. how to fake things, kidnap, sell drugs defraud others, betray. for them it is stupidity to be lawful. These people must not be confused with those who hold Igbo values of enterprise and fair play to their hearts. We must continue to make this distinction when we address scoundrels who misrepresent their clans 1 Like |

A new criminal dimension has been introduced to the Dasukigate by the Coordinator of Social Economic Rights Accountability Project, Femi Falana, Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The human right lawyer has approached the ICC pursuant to Articles 30(2)(b) 7(1)(k) of the Rome Statute (to which Nigeria is a signatory) www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/197270-dasukigate-falana-drags-suspects-to-icc.html The summary of the learned silk case is that the suspects are those who reasonably knew that diversion of arms money would cause large scale suffering of the unprotected civilian populace. This foreknowledge comes under article 7 which defines crimes against humanity. It will be recalled that whilst the arms money were being shared for Dr. Jonathan's reelection, over 200 girls were abducted, 2 million innocent citizens were displaced and nearly 20,000 more were killed. The attitude of the leaders were not surprising given the fact that Dr Jonathan was seen dancing in broad day light within 48hours of bomb last in FCT which claimed nearly 100 innocent citizens. To majority of the PDP supporters the bloody atrocities were worth the ambition of their leaders. this shall be demonstrated by the insane reactions that may be read below. lalasticlala mynd44. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
| Politics › Criminals Thank Okonjo Iweala For Opprtunities Created To Molest Nigerians by TRUTHTOPOWER(op): 4:39pm On Jan 22, 2016 |
It has never been a better time to appreciate someone whose reign marked highest incident of economic rape since 1914. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/ngozi-okonjo-iweala-missing-trillions-1-charles-soludo/ It is not a feat that makes conerned Nigerians such as Prof Chukwuma Soludo happy but who cares about Chukwuma's opinion when Ngozi's beneficiaries are painting Dubai red! More to her credit the weird CNN presenter describes NOI as the best Finance Minister by all oppressive standards. It is quite admirable that the genius of NOI has nothing to show for 100 dollar per barrel of oil. No new road. no functional rail. no good airport. no good university. no good hospital no legacy achievement for six years reign. The so called YouWin and SURE P were dependent on robust oil prices. This social safety net was shredded into pieces when petrol dollar crumbled. We remember OBJ that we got GSM in his time. We will remember GEJ/NOI time as the period when monies meant to protect our lives and property were shared for "spiritual" and "Special Assignments". Above all we will remember the Wailers who felt we have no right to CHANGE Direction for whatever it is worth. Let the criminals celebrate their goddess. we will recover our money from them! 1 Like 1 Share |

What appears to be a humour reveals the dynamics of rule of law in Nigeria. The latest target is the Devil. Baba Buhari wants the Devil dead without trial. the joke was going smoothly until someone got the mic. Hear him: With all due respect sir, even though I am a Christian. I cannot watch this government condemn the Devil without fair hearing. He is entitled to bail when arrested. And we also think it is unfair that demons are still at large and no such order has been issued against them. This is tyranny!  Baba Buhari was amused "but you have been praying for deliverance from the oppression of the Devil. Are you now a devil's advocate?" "Well, Baba, we must disagree with you at all cost" Hmmm. the Deep calls unto the Deep! |

hedonistic:"man alleges" on a blog! For what it is worth, I don't like the idea of handcuffs on a person like Chief Metuh. Seeing him one on one at Wadata House and legacy house in those days makes it all the more sordid. Be that as it may, Nigerian leaders know what to do to move this country forward. RESTITUTION. if they choose power play, then all kinds of wailing because of use of power becomes hollow and benighted. As far as I am concerned, the masses are the real victims of circumstances. all others who ground stand purporting to have nothing to give back when interrogated are on their own. we will start listening to wailers when a suspect says: "This is all I got without due process of law. I know my opponents got so and so without due process of law as well." Not "Are we the only ones, you must go after others too" This attitude is an insult to criminal justice. There is nothing like a defence of " it is a bandwagon" or the biblical "we are legion" in law. 5 Likes |

Just like 'Devout Christian' Raymond Dokpesi. on the other hand Metuh has refused to cooperate with prosecution and reportedly a threat to himself by refusing to eat.

OK lets put everything on the table! the right to go and the duty to ensure federal cohesion. How much blood should tilt the balance in favour of one against the other? Pls take a look at the picture and ask yourself the following question. Whose brother or sister or parents will stand to take picture of his Loved one lying in pool of his blood? for how long was the corpse lying on the floor and his soul flowing away in blood with no one ready to help as it appears? Are we waiting to blame someone for this or concerned about the life that was gushing away in crimson red? indeed it is noble to lay down your life for the cause that you believe in but to do so in the context of "Comradeship" without Espirit De Corps is a grievous tragedy. The posture of the youths standing over the corpse shows nothing but detached mockery of the departed - a lesson for the living. I have nothing to say about the state agents involved in this saga. rather my query is to the State (which includes government and citizens) that posterity will hold us all accountable for all our acts and omissions that trigger humanitarian suffering.

HiddenShadow:If you knew what happened in East Timor, South Sudan before UN came in, you would make them a role model for Biafra. East Timor was annexed by Indonesia in 1976. by 1999 before they. This was against UN charter from day one. even at that the UN was helpless until some half a century elapsed. the cost to EastbTimor is over 100,000 deaths. 17, 0000 died violently or disappeared. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_invasion_of_East_Timor. Nigeria did not annex Biafrans. Biafrans have been voting to affirn Nigeria constitution since 1940s. And they voted based on the constitution that prohibits dissolution as recently as march 28 2015. South Sudan has been a parallel entity in Sudan . The war in South Sudan is ongoing. Over 10000 deaths and over 1million displaced as refugees. Sudan has been a text book case of war for over 30 years before UN intervened. Not a good example for Biafra and Nigeria. Eriteria war of independence 1961 to 1991. claimed over 200,000 lives before UN felt urgent need to speed up separation. No territory has ever been granted independence through UN just for asking. there are over 1000 requests for such. all of them equally sympathetic. But the objective of UN is not liqudation of member states. it is about giving them opportunity to grow in peace for as LONG as it takes. It is easier to negotiate independence with parent nation than with UN. USSR, N. Ireland. 2 Likes |

United Nations by its charter of 1945 IS NOT a supranational government. The Corfu Channel case, 1949; Nicaragua case of 1986. laid to rest the principle of non-interference and territorial sovereignty. This principle itself became part of customary law of nations (jus cogens) as far back as 1648 under the Treaty of Peace (Westphalia). Territorial Sovereignty being part of just cogens is also regarded as a pre-emptory norm that cannot be modified except by another norm of similar character. The famous exceptions are under humanitarian laws. for you to invoke IHL, there must be armed conflict to such an extent that shocks the conscience of humanity. Think of Libya Syria, Sudan, Rwanda and Somalia. this will bring about the principle of Responsiblity to Protect or Uniting for Peace. Remember that UN was already in existence prior to the civil war of 1967. the humanitarian conditions then only attracted sympathy of the international community. Nigeria has assumed greater status in the UN now. Keep the Palestine struggle in mind. From the above the rule is clear: no interference. successes in separations such as USSR was internally achieved by relevant parties. Will Biafra be an exception to the UN rule? who knows. but you cannot invoke UN without the abhorrent levels of humanitarian conditions as we have in every other place where UN intervened. At that, Only South Sudan after 30 years of civil war could lay claim to success. Is there a way to Biafra. Yes. Dialogue! The alternative under UN HAS BEEN war - WITHOUT A SINGLE EXCEPTION. Keep in mind that Diplomacy is the language of UN not threat or insults of whatever kind. UN has never considered threats and insults as a legitimate mode of communication in any of its august meetings. cheers! N.B.

chronos:of course no state should hold a suspect without trial. that is rule of law. no suspect should hold the state in contempt without penalty. that also is rule of law. so it is a balancing of conflicting laws. What you choose to uphold depends on what you choose to sacrifice. Interestingly the law does not say "Don't commit a crime" rather it says "if you commit a crime you shall be punished" it gives you the opportunity to make your choice and face the consequence. I wish there are more peaceful ways of achieving our goals. but if the hard way seems to be the only way, then it is pointless complaining about hardship going forward. cheers. |
