He is not spending a day in jail. He was fined 50 million for stealing 1 billion (in today's money)!

abbey621:


Country people wey never outrage over security, unemployment, electricty.....Shey na court cases we go dey para about? Abeg wahala no dey finish, talk is cheap jaare

JAGS001:

The fine is with the jail term sir he can't escape jail term because the judgement said sentenced with Option of fine not just a fine.
The law is that a convict can be fined without jail term, or jailed without fine or the both jailed and fine.

You are right sha. Of all the people wey full this country they may elect someone with all these scandals as president, and a rabid tribalist Boko Haram sponsor as VP

** Certificate-gate
** Druglord-gate
** Health-gate
** AlphaBeta-gate
** BullionVan-gate
** YekiniAmodaOgunlere-gate
** TaxThief-gate
** NoSchooling-gate
** MC Oluomo-gate
** Pandora-gate
** Urine-gate
** LekkiTollGate-gate
** Ritualist-gate

In a sane clime just one of these gates and the person would respect themselves and resign

workchopNG:
I'm just seeing "stolen" without any mention of who owns or where he stole the money from. Even the converted which is of Nepal oil, there's no clear mentioning of who owns the company and who sued the guy.

Maybe is one of the oga's properties.

N50m is less than 15% of what the young man "converted + (stolen from thin air)."

My brothers are hustlers

I welcome all Tinubu urchins on NL to this thread (Seun and co). Food is ready

Ps: nairaland mods are the real tribal bigots, see how long they’ve left this news at the top of front page just for it to get enough bashing.

Want to hear the shocker? He might actually be the best candidate to change Nigeria for the better.......The most dangerous person is one that people do not see as good or effecvtive, what does he have to lose? Nigeria is a cancer, it takes a rugged and sharp person to do anything meaningful......Anyway we slice am, we have 3 choices, Obi who won't even get 20% of the votes, Atiku a known mad man with nothing to offer but revenge for being schemed out of the rpesidency by OBJ and Tinubu a morally corrupt individual who is feared both in the North and South.

Let's set sentiments aside, all the options are BAD, so pick your poison wisely!

Somebody stole N434.1m and the option for jail time is a N50m fine. He is still in profit!

PoliteActivist:


Not all the options are bad. Tinubu rigorously sold us Buhari and, as leader of the rullling APC all 8 years, was part of the inner circle. You really think we should reward that? Atiku is a confirmed crook. Obi is the best option. He is at the perfect age to be president, he has demonstrated frugality with public funds and cost of governance and he is squeaky clean (never mind the hyped pandora nonsense. Everybody had pabdira and his the mildest)

ledaman:
The judge must be very stupid. Someone stole 430million and you sentenced him to 10years with the option of 50million as fine. It is finished with our Judiciary system

Funflipper:

abbey621:


It does not matter if Obi is the best candidate, what matters most importantly are the voters. Obi is popular with social media and perhaps the SE/SS, outside of those he's persona non grata. He's not going to get 15% of votes in the North, he's not going to get 20% of votes in the SW so how do you realistically see him as the best option?

Make we set sentiments aside, elections are won by raw numbers, who can pull the most votes. Nigeria has proven that the more educated you are the less likely you're going to stand in line 3-4 hours to vote. This is why Tinubu ansd Atiku concentrate more on the ground game. If I was a betting man, I'll place my chips on the guy with the best grassroot machine.

PoliteActivist:

I'm not sure you understand what best option means. It does NOT mean who is most likely to win the election. It means who we OUGHT vote for.

As for your calculations, I suspect there'd be things at play in this election other than tribe and religion. Also, I expect something HUGE to happen b4 the election proper - something that will change everything

Kingpele:
This one everyone dey collect long jail term when will tinubu be in jail for personalising lagos funds for decades and doing drugs in Chicago

toobusy:
I don't understand the judgement, someone stole something well above 100 million and you gave him an option of working out freely by paying 50 million,what happens to the rest of money he allegedly stoled?

PoliteActivist:


See this one. This is exactly why they keep getting away with these nonsense judgements. They count on the fact that general public like you don't understand nor try to understand these things.
My friend, option of fine means he can either go to jail for 1000 years OR pay the 5k fine. NOT BOTH!

We all should be outraged and there ought be public outcry about these deceptive judgments they keep churning out!

frog12:
i no think so. he go go jail for sometime then pay the fine

PoliteActivist:


Law is not a matter of what you think. You are confusing OPTION with PLUS. If a person is given 1000 years PLUS fine of N5k, it means they do BOTH. If you see OPTION it means they do one or the other.

Anyway from now onwards you know, so always help make noise so there would be truth in sentencing, or at least let journalists be honest in their headlines because they do this ALL THE TIME!!
Everything in Nigeria is crooked and corrupt!

Emekaonline:


That is after Obi Pandora who looted his state money to fund his private family business as well as avoiding paying tax to Nigeria. He will go to jail first

frog12:
are you sure? 1000 years option 10 million, i think means you do some years, maybe 900, then pay 10 million fine instead of completing remaining 100 years

I am EXTREMELY SURE!!

The statement below means he'd EITHER serve 10 years OR pay 50mil NOT both!
