At last, President Goodluck Jonathan has given a clear, if inadvertent, indication of the intention of his administration in the war against corruption. His pardon of convicted former Governor of Bayelsa state, D.S.P. Alamieyesiegha (Alams for short), against all rationality has finally exposed the president’s insincerity in battling Nigeria’s biggest problem-corruption.
......

Alams was pardoned alongside top military officers, Generals Shehu Musa Yar’dua, Tajuden Olanrewaju, Oladipo Diya, late Abdukarim Adisa etc. who were implicated in Gen. Sanni Abacha’s phantom coup. The President did this to give a semblance of humanity and genuine compassion to the entire exercise. But as Mr Jonathan has found out, the world cannot be fooled. You don’t mix the goats with the sheep in this way without getting an adverse reaction.

.......
According to media reports, the Alams clemency issue was dealt with in a surreptitious manner. Some key members of the NCS, Gen Muhammedu Buhari, former Presidents Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida reportedly didn’t attend the meeting where the contentious decision was taken, having gotten wind of the move to pardon the ex-Bayelsa Governor. So, this Alams matter bears the exclusive signature of President Jonathan; he alone must take responsibility.

This can never happen in Nigeria, where public officers are above the law.

This is unfortunate.

Good one for Kenya

Congrats to her.

Eko Atlantic: @thread, I don't think Ibadan needs flyover anymore, those constructed in the years of it reign as the capital of the old western region is enough. Not less than five flyovers are at the entrance of Ibadan to Iwo road alone. There are other important sectors that needs attention.
Flyovers are what Osun and Ekiti should be executing as projects and not a state Like Oyo

Oyo oni baje ooo.

Its not the number of flyovers that is is important, but the usefulness and benefit to the people. The ones you see on the express won't serve the main town.
This is a right move by the Govt of Oyo state. Mokola junction has always been motorists nightmare. This bridge will go a long way to ease traffic problems on that axis.

hmmm nawaa

hmm, abegi make una confirm oo
