Height Of Corruption

A system riddene with corruption where corrupt politicians rule the states own mansions and fat bank accounts in the detriment of the masses who elects them. The masses lavish in abject poverty and barely live below a doller a day in a nation rich in Oil and other natural resources. James Onanefe Ibori was the former governor of Delta state in Nigeria which happens to be one of the richest state as an oil producing state in Nigeria. He was convicted on corrupt charges in England and sentenced to 13years imprisonment by a court in England. James Onanefe Ibori in the late 1980s and in 1990, was found guilty of stealing goods from Wickes store in London where he worked as a clerk, a year later he was he was convicted of handling a stolen credit card. All these criminal record did not hinder him in running for the Delta state gubernatorial election in 1999 which he won from 1999 to 2007 which is 2 terms consecutively. When he was indicted of by the EFCC of corrupt practices he tried to bribe the then Chairman of The. Economic Financial Crimes Commission which was then Nuhu Ribada to drop corruption cases against him. Later he flee the shores of Nigeria to England but was that a mistake on his part? Because with that kinda money if he was convicted and charged in Nigeria he woul have gotten like 3years jail term with a 5 star luxury service in prison. Dame Cicilia Ibru who was the then Chairman of Oceanic bank got a 6 months bed rest at a very expensive hospital as sentence for Stealing almost N200 million. Also Erastus Akingbola, today walks as a free man after defrauding the former Intercontinental bank now Access bank. Of Tens of billion of naira. Another case is of Chief Bode George, who was convicted and jailed for 2 years spent his term in luxury while in prison with a chef and personal physician on stand - by, but now back in full embrace of his friends of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Our judiacial and criminal justice system has been degraded over time to serve the rich corrupt leaders. If the judiciary had done it work properly, Ibori would never have worked in any government house as a steward much less of a governor. After he (Ibori) was elected as governor of. Delta state several cases were brought up against him alleging that as a former convict he's not fit to be a governor., but all the cases were some how dismissed. With all these corruption raging across the land is the judicial system blind or it also ridden by the same corrupt practices within other institution of government...? A question to ponder upon... o
