We have trode this path before, with dire consequences.

The men being forced to lie on dirty grounds by combined team of armed military and police personnel are traders at the Ladipo Market, Lagos, which was recently shut down by the Lagos State Government purportedly over issues with ‘environmental sanitation’ – and we all know where they hail from. Why treat them as mere criminals – for goodness sake, these are men whose wares have been seized/locked up and they are now being paraded as mere criminals!

Anybody familiar with the Lagos terrain knows quite well that the reasons’ being advanced by the Government is hogwash!

Saints from hell

One really wonders what was on Oby Ezekwesili’s mind when she was reeling out her accusations against the Yar’Adua/Jonathan administration.

Did Ms. Oby Ezekwesili expect Nigerians to believe that Obasanjo and his gang of 40 thieves with whom he ruined Nigeria would have left behind the sum of U.S.$67 Billion whilst departing from office? Did Ms. Oby Ezekwesili expect Nigerians to jump up and applaud her for exposing the monumental graft going on in the name of rulership in Nigeria? These people actually hold Nigerians in absolute contempt!

Justice redefined

Is there any reason on earth, why this character, Abubakar Talba, who parades as a judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, should not be charged as an accomplice to the death of the several pensioners, some of who died whilst queuing up, waiting for their due pensions from the Police Pension authorities?

(Justice?) Abubakar Talba has just delivered what will perhaps qualify as one of the most dense, unjust, infantile and nonsensical High Court judgement any judicial system in the world may ever have the misfortune of staining its record books.

A thief and director of the Police Pension Office, Mr. John Yusuf, who admitted guilt to stealing N32.8billion (or $203 Million) was sentenced by Abubakar Talba, to a mere 2 years in prison or an option of N750,000 ($4,500) and the forfeiture of some properties.
