Comment on Why Nigerian Judges Are Corrupt by Blessed AOC Nwakpuda USA

The problem of many Nigerians is that they seem to have thrown in the towel to corruption.The roguish ex-governor who embezzled state funds instead of serving jail term lives large and lavishly in his million dollar house abroad, the head of department who extort large sum of money or sex to pass students and the DPO who instructs his boys(the Police) to mount illegal check point to extort money from motorist and road users.The series of illegal police raiding and the bail out amount involved had reduced my people to accept corruption as the right thing.Majority of my country folks are good,hardworking citizens who live in fear and as such no one can speak out.Everyone expect the men at Abuja(men in the corridors of power) to give them justice and accord them some respect but all forgot that anyone who stands at the corridor does not see the whole house.It is the everyday guys who move around that sees everywhere and these are the folks who can make the difference.So Nigerians arise, you are all beautiful and brave patriots,arise and speak up! God bless Nigeria.

Prof, It is a shame that someone your age is talking this way. You beleive Nigeria is your private Estate where you can control as it pleases you. The poverty level in the North is so high because of yesteryears men like you that have refused to leave the stage for genuiene pple that has the interest of the entire nation at heart.It can never be like before again…
North or South Nigeria belongs to all of us and the common wealth must be utilized to the benefit of all and not by recycled men like you.

Some of you southerners are unreasonable. Ango is 75% correct in his discuss. Zonning is best for the minorities in this country. It is not about Jonathan its about principles. Jonathan cant destroy south south because of ambition that is propelledby selfish people. We zone in our communities. It is part of our culture to ensure equity. We in the south do think the north are parasites simply because we have oil. Did we put the oil there by our hard work? No God did. Did you negotiate with God to be born in the South?
Please lets be civil in our dicuss.

it is elementary and common sense that in Law of contract either of the parties can on notice terminate a contract.There is nothing like forced contract or forced marriage.So what Akala did in relation to LAUTECH on the grounds of law and moral is right.All these sponsored unkind comments on his excellency will not deter him from pursuing the noble tasks God has placed on his shoulder.You will be surprised he will win 2011 governoship election

Its funny how Banks try to play holier than thou when they are the most corrupt institutions in Nigeria. Is it not this same Diamond bank that gives bribes to government officials in return for deposits? Come on, who is fooling who? Let the EFCC dig into all items expensed as Consultancy services in the books of Diamond Bank over the last five years and they will be shocked. What is the rational of a Bank making a payment to a Director or Senior manager or government official whose organisation has huge deposits in the Bank in the guise of consultancy services? What is being consulted. Its simply bribe in return for deposits. Its the Management of Diamond bank that EFCC should be after not those poor innocent boys

Diamond bank Staff — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:55:41 +0000

But Diamond Bank in Suit No ID/1563/2008 admitted that the bank ‘in accordance with prudent and normal banking practice” extended credit facility to the customer. The bank has with its own hand absolved the staff of any wrong doing and it is this same transaction the staff are being accused of being complicit. This amounts to double standard. Why is this same Bank witch hunting the staff? We really have to rise up to the defence of these ex staff o. It could be one of us being treated like this in future
