I have been observing comments and differing accounts of Nigerians as the trial of three women associated with the former governor of Delta State James Ibori started at the Southwark Crown Court in London last week.
Let me begin by saying that some Nigerians have an absolute culture of shamelessness!!! from what I observed in court last week - and statements/comments by Nigerians - we do most certainly have some shameless people.
People who believe it is alright to steal and flaunt it and why not? when you have Ovation, Bisi Olatilo, Entertainer, City People etc. glorifying them regularly in their publications and some Nigerians rolling over to kiss their feet for a few crumbs from the table - why should they feel any shame? Have we made them to feel what they do is wrong? In the UK here they are wined and dined (with the hard earned money they make from their various 9-5 jobs) by the same people they have sent into involuntary exile, all for a photo opportunity or to boast "oh, I was with so-so-so and so yesterday" and if they are lucky they get given some small change and numbers in Naija to call so they can come and see them at the government house. Societal misfits have turned some Nigerians into slaves, international area boys and babi-ala's overnight!!! They come up with the most ludicrous statements/comments in support of these people, even right here now, someone is going to leap to his keyboard and provide us some worn out nonsense. The ones I can't stand are the Nigerians or non-Nigerians who claim that we need to be "objective" in cases as clear-cut as those of the Ibori's playing out in the UK. Or the category I refer to as the "About to Chop Chop (ACC)", the ones who start every comment with, " i have never met him/her before or benefitted" from blah, blah, blah, but...let me say that- say what exactly? So why should they feel shame?
I was in court on last Friday, September 25. I arrived in court late morning and sat outside because the courtroom was full. Outside court was a young guy, I will say mid to late twenties dressed like a Michael Jackson wannabe - you could tell this guy either refused to attend school or school refused him. Anyway, there I was sitting jejely when this guy made a call to someone (I don't know who) he started by saying the court is full of Yoruba people and the press, he doesn't know which one concern press for the matter or Yoruba people, he just wishes the judge will throw the case out and let them all go home (by this time I was seething). He continued his nonsense - this is just political, Obj is behind it, Obj has it in for Ibori because Ibori stopped him from being life president. Was Ibori the only gov, why didn't they concentrate on the Yoruba thieves in our midst and leave Delta people alone? He expected they would win the case because they had 3 barristers and 5 solicitors all being paid £1million each (now I wonder how Ibori's mistress, sister and Pogoson can afford to pay defence counsel £1m?) They were planning a protest, they will come and show people here...
Anyway, he got off the phone eventually and I began MY OWN conversation. I stated that they are all going down! These people who have deprived thousands of people basic facilities and caused so many deaths, God in heaven will make them pay, first here in court and in the after life. Their children, accomplices, supporters etc will pay, for depriving children of life, children they have condemned even from the womb! How can a common crook, convicted twice already in the UK turn out to be gov in Nigeria? Well, there must be an end to this and this case is just the beginning. We will chase them till they know the UK is no longer a safe haven to hide their loot. We are also waiting for their protest, we will meet them there, their disgrace will be complete. I said it is sad that even someone who doesn't look like a $ has passed through his life is here defending such gross violation of his people's trust (well, he should know I was referring to him).
I can state that the guy had disappeared from court by the time we returned for the afternoon session. I was later informed he is Ibori's brother.
By the time we entered the court room, Ibori's people had taken up most of the seats so most of us had to wait outside court. They had called people during the lunch break to come and support them because they were clearly outnumbered. They now thought they owned the court holding on to seats and stopping people from seating saying someone was sitting there. Anyway, we reminded them that they do not own the courts in the UK as they believe they own Nigeria. Then this guy who is their taxi driver (now this is a sad case, this guy cannot be less than 55 yrs old with torn shirt, looked like life has been extremely hard on him) decided to assault a lady over a seat, he was well and truly dealt with by the lady. The irony is this man doesn't know that the people he is seating in court with daily to support and fight for are the reason why he is here driving a cab and have probably condemned his family to eternal servitude (maybe he thinks he is living the Ibori dream sha).
They came with their bodyguards and thugs but we stood up to them - we will not be intimidated!! Even the guy who assaulted the NLF chap on Monday scuttled away when he saw they were outnumbered.
Nigerians!! Be in court, even if it for only one of the sessions, go there to register your interest. It is unlikely we will get justice in Nigeria so let us use this opportunity. An opening is being made for us here, this opportunity should not be lost. Today it is Ibori, tomorrow it can be your gov and his accomplices. Enough of the complaining from the comfort of your home, it cant achieve much. I mean one of the Ibori people accused us of being jobless, well, do you blame them, when they see so few of us there daily? Even if we are jobless, do they not contribute to the joblessness of Nigerians home and abroad?
That Udoamaka can come out and pose for the cameras, in a way she is telling us we cannot do nada to her, is she right? Have we given her the courage to believe so with our laid back-someone-else-will-do-it-wetin-concern-me attitude? When they carry out their threatened protest, will they be able to mobilise more people by giving them some 'small change' than us? If they do then we as Nigerians ought to be ashamed of ourselves!
Please make time to attend court if you live in the UK, it is an obligation you owe your country and all oppressed, raped and dehumanized people whose resources are daily looted as they wallow in poverty, living on less than 1 dollar per day!

... Meanwhile the same Ibori is romancing another shameless slot who is presently filling in for Udoamaka. It is high time we start from our neighbourhood, we know these people and we can stand up to them. MEND, IT IS TIME TO MAKE THE Niger delta or the whole nation ungovernable if people without vision for this great Nation be voted for, come 2011. The same reason why the like of Soludo are picking forms to govern state. Time to oust leaders for non performance after 6 months in office.I believe in Nigeria and i believe we can do that which we set our heart to do. Long Live Nigeria. |

... I pity our generation. In the good old days, everyone who tries to bring shame to his or her community was ostracized along side with their immediate families and so when other members of the family see this coming, they first ostracized you before you rub it off on the whole family and in those days communities preffered good name. But these days, you are celebrated even when they know the source of your wealth, and bring gifts and also their children for you to EXPOSE. If not tell me why the likes of our past leaders who have torn this nation into the shred that it is now not be hiding their faces in shame and then their cheap slots like Udoamaka posing for the cameras. |

... This is interesting. I live in Benin city and at this moment the militants encamped here are staging a demonstration. They have blocked the Ugbowo Lagos road and at present dancing wildly at the Federal govt. girls college road junction. Kids on their way to school are trapped in cars, those who left early and already in school are trapped there. It is standstill. Nigerians are in dire need of a liberator and it pains me when I read all this and know that the millions of dollars stashed away in europe could have been used to provide a social support system in this counry.My prayer is that the Ibori bribes which are difficult to refuse have not crept over to his lordships over there.But i wonder why the british authorities should care about Delta state problems, when the huge loot is domicled in their banks. Even Ibori knows that nigeria is too small to handle his heist proceeds. Na wa.One day na one day |

... When will my people wake up from their slumber...is it when our common enemies(politians)run this country aground? Enough is enough. the day of reckoning is fast approaching...the looters would not go unpunished, judgement begins here and not hereafter...We should not allow a handful of mindless, shameless and unproductive politicians subjugate us and our children to a bleak future. We need to be courageous to put the blame of our underdevelopment squarely at the door steps of the current illegitimate rulers who work tirelessly to ensure basic necessities of life continue to elude us. |

... reply to Saint Saint wake up........ If you are caught with drugs from Columbia in London they don't bloody well ask you to do a court trial in Columbia because that is where the drugs originated from!!!!!! Laundered Money is illegal money and the associates have been caught out with no credible explanation of the source..... simple the crime is not only the theft from Nigeria but the handling of the money in United Kingdom. UK has every right to charge and handle them all as they please, after all they took their foolish behinds to the UK with the stolen money!!!!!!!!! People should just accept the fact that if you do the crime you will do the time......... and will get caught eventually!!!!!!!! |

... reply to Peter Short Both of you are very foolish...... Peter Short, let me just say that you are missing the point...... You asked why only Ibori? He is the one who left such a trail to get caught, Ibori and associates got very greedy and raised too many red flags; that the UK system had to acknowledge, it's as simple as that. For every criminal caught in any country many will fall through the net and never get caught, so you and all the others who are repeating the lame defense of "he is not the only one" should just accept that this is his time....... maybe others who are or have done the same will see that soon there will be nowhere to hide their stolen money!!!!!!! |

... All this is nonsense....why is IBB,Achaba family,atiku,OBJ,Danjuman not on trial here ...they stole billions of dollars directly from the national treasure and put nigeria into debts that it took niger delta money to pay off....Ibori I agree stole but he is a small thief...lets go after those that stole our billions of dollars..the IBB's,abacha,abubakar,atiku,OBJ are the big thiefs that we need to put on trial Another thing is why is it that a crime is is said to be committed in Nigeria being put up in a court in UK ...yes I know that our cours in nigeria are corrupt but bring a case of crime committed in nigeria to a UK court is an insult on nigerians,this is one reason why the white man continues to look down on blacks |

... ..cont Nigeria needs serious revival, even if it means taking to the streets. See, the truth is that all these corrupt people MUST ALL be eliminated (from the councillors, LGA chairmen to the President), everyone of them. But the thing is we are so afraid to do anything, but we want things to change for the better. This is an irony. Look at what happened in Thailand, no flights coming in or out of the country for over 4 weeks. Can that happen in Nigeria? Until drastic measures starts to happen, there will be no drastic changes in the country, it's as simple and as difficult as that. Instead we're just wasting our time talking and writing. GET UP NIGERIANS!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. |

... Nigeria needs serious cleasnsing, but the thing is that the majority (I think everyone) is not even ready to do what it takes to get the good things of life. They think they can get all the good things by simply wishing or praying and calling on God, which is fine and good in itself, but they must also know that they have to get up and do something. |

... We need a healing of the nation and SERIOUS cleansing. One of the earlier comments was to go the way Ghana did some 30 years ago. I do agree to that and if that does not happen, these people would not change and would think that they have the sole authority and birth right to act as they wish once they are in position of power. I pray that they all burn in the hottest part of hell. |

... Why is Ibori singled out among thousand of criminals that have brought these mystery to Nigeria? The answer is why not Ibori, Ibori represent the symbol of moral decadence in Nigeria. A convict who made false declaration & pick up a form for such an high office without regard to consequence. He is a slap on the face of decent Delta people & the Nation. He must be made an example that if you are criminal stay in crime & away from public office. The World is watching to see the outcome before we get classified among Narco Nations, which is the dream Morons like Ibori & cohorts have for Nigeria. |

... Can we just cool down for a while about attacking Ibori lest he think no one is giving him an honest chance(as Christians)..Let us join Ribadu in "inviting" Ibori to come with his Bombadier private jet and show support for the women in his life by attending just ONE sitting of the Southwark Crown Court and stay from morning till evening..If he can do just this, then I will begin to say perhaps its the other James that is the bad one..We are waiting...could everyone help extend this kind invitation to both James Ibori's in existence and let them tell us which day they will attend so we can pose for pics with them too..Thanks! |

... Amaka, I am pretty sure you have shame but it will dawn on you shortly as you know the british system does not work on bribery like Nigeria. Ibori is ranting in Nigeria about Ribadu, he is not a convict like him. He can open his mouth as much as he want, only fools can believe such a stunt. No media dear publish anything negative about Ibori, lately, one reporter killed, others holding their breath. In Yoruba, the saying goes that when a drum start to make too much noise, it is getting ready to burst, and burst, yes Yaraslow government will soon burst into ashes, a sick man with little or no idea how to run a country dictated to by Ibori because of his contribution. |

Amaka, that was a nice pose though, do you know Ibori is waiting to lick your ass!, yes every inch of it, I bet he has seen that picture, on one note, it seems you have lost some weight compared to the one you had when the going was good, Do you know you can pose as much as you want in London jail very shortly?, Kindly hold your pose for prison and your ass for ibori to lick afterall you are the only permanent asewo he has. Do you have family?, I bet your parents are not anywhere proud of the daughter they raised with their hard earned money. Look what you have become today, A mistress, aka prostitute. If I were your brother, I will change my name in a hurry, anything to dissociate from you. |

... Word for you, Ibori cousin, why can't you shut your mouth and let the court judge your cousin, Ibori, Do you know is already a double convict? Abi he no tell you so, and yet in a country of the blind, he is still elected governor not once but twice. It is true that the court will ultimately decide his guilt but he is guilty already, a convict has not business governing any state in Nigeria. He did so contrary to the constitution of Nigeria, Are you blind when he was convicted of theft in London, make you ask your cousin, I really do not blame you as some of you get peanuts, and left over crumps that fell under the table, you can open your mouth wide and let out thunder like Sango. |

Leave Ibori and his family alone. |

There is an Ibo addage which says that the worst thing anybody can do is to steal.. It can finish a whole generation. There is dignity in washing dishes than in being/supporting evil. I am sure he is your brother/friend, my advice is go and hide your face in shame!! You will be suprised by the events of the next few days |

There is a saying that when a mad person is Dancing in the market place, it is not the mad person that is ashamed, but her family members who are watching her do her gig.Udoamaka (Peace is Good)as her name implies was simply using a tactics called "Reverse Psychology" to give the impression that she cares less about her disgusting and shameful predicament, but what people don't realise is that the CRACK head is in a huge tumoil and knows no PEACE at all. I urge my fellow Nigerians not to bother with this expired specimen of womanhood and patiently wait to find out the details of her involvement in this case. Very soon, she will Hip-Hop into jail.

... Since this matter is in court, let us allow the court to deliver judgment on it. There is no reason whipping up sentiments. I strongly object to Sahara addressing the young lady as 'mistress' that amounts to horde mentality. No, she is an accused person standing trial for corruption. No sentiments please. As for the Ibori question, it is a little bit complicated. There is no doubt that the political class are responsible for the abject poverty in the country. But we were here when all these happened? He should be dilligently and meticullously prosecuted. No sentiments. What I oppose is the press actually TAKING OVER the trial. The press, especially the Nigerian Press, whether based at home or abroad has not proven to be an impartial arbiter. Corruption thrives therein. We cannot sacrifice level headed objectivity to hordes sentimentality. Ibori and his associates should be prosecuted without drama. As for corruption in Nigeria, it is rooted at the foundation of the country. |

... Please tell Oga Nuhu not to reply Ibori latest news conference. Ibori is trying to drag Nuhu into a war of words while this trial is going on. The net effect of this war of words will be that this case will be compomised. Also, we have to be cautious and care in reporting and our behaviour as the justice system always and sometimes favours the under-dog. I am very much in prayers that this thief should be jailed, but we have to be carefull not to be seen as bullying them. |

... Haba,it will not work O. The if you can't convince us confuse us spproach, which is what the why or why not Ibori questions,the sly attempt to induce regional conflicts or remarks of our servitude to the colonialist Topics are all about. Ibori is on our radar right now and we shall pursue his being brought to justice with vigor. Those who say 'get a life and mind your business' I say thank you this is part of my life story,the corruption has affected the lifes of most if not all our people, even you wether you know it or not. So it is my business. Sorry I don't do quiet. There are no quite people in history. |

Anyone who feels OBJ has any reputation among Yorubas is dreamiing and may never come to term with reality that the case is between Ibori and generality of the Nigerians especially in the delta state who are living in abject poverty due to the action of Ibori as a governnor. The power to fignht Injustice lies in Justice. The song is no longer 'we shall overcome" but " WE WILL OVERCOME". Aluta continua!!! |

Major kudos to the author and other concerned citizens that have said enough is enough, and are ready to speak out against those who unabashedly continue to smirch the reputation of Nigeria in disreputable ways. As for Udoamaka Onuigbo, remember that you are nothing but a high paid hooker and prostitute; have some damn shame!! Oloriburuku ashewo bastard!!! |

If Ibori is in London for an event, i will be there to demonstrate against him because i believe there was no reasonable development he brought to Delta in his 8 yrs reign but now that UK courts are doing their job. If they were found guilty, i would be glad to see them go to JAIL. My people make una remember he that is living in a glass house should not throw stones & He who knows his hands are clean should be the first to throw stone.....A word is enough for the wise.......... |

Andrew Ashiofu Since you say you are not recognised as a Nigerian anymore because you relocated to the UK looooooonnnnng ago, why don't you just leave Nigerians who feel they are still Nigerians with families back home they are concerned about deal with the problem of corruption affecting these families they still identify with? The image of corruption exhibited by these lootogenerals and their associates is what needs to be stopped - not the right of Nigerians to insist they want an end to corruption and the siphoning of the people's money abroad. |

... Now i am really worried with phrase such as exiled Nigerians inthe UK. I never knew there are exiled Nigerians there. The idea that unemployed youths should storm the Ibori assets is troublesome. Violence does solve violence. Our people should be encouraged to make more positive use of their time and be successful , than to spend time in court. I would be ashamed to attend such session as it would do nothing but to add shame to Nigeria. There is something called Public view and image projecting. A question i would ask those in UK are you helping the image of Nigeria by theses actions you are doing. I believe that the more positive role models we have the lesser the impact of corruption and all. Do not spread your dirty linen in public. |

... Echoing some of the sentiment of previous bloggers on the Issue of James Ibori; The fact remains that Ibori and his cronies must be held accountable. Maybe, just maybe the next one will be Iginedion, then Alams, then Dariye, then ... There has to be a starting point where all this miscreants are held accountable for thier brazen robbery of Nigeria. I live in the U.S; the implication being that I cannot be present in UK court to support my fellow nigerians who are yearning to free our fatherland from the mordern day slavery of our people by our people. Nonetheless, I can assure you that we are wathcing with keen interest in the U.S and when the opporunity is presented to us we will take the same brave stand for our country. For now, I will reach out to friends in the u.k and implore them to go out and support the prosecutors and other Nigerians who are taking a stand for our country. The hour is upon us when we must stand for country rgardless of our ethnic affiliation. |

MEND,i need you to clarify this point. How can they talk about the wickedness the Nigerian state to the NIger Delta poeple without mentioning what the Governors/Local Govt officials have done to the money that should come to you directly.Ive NEVER heard once any of these organisations standing up to these serving/former governors. What Odilli,Ibori,Alams did to their people is just a smaller version of what the Federal Government is doing to them..Why dont they start telling these people off!?

... I know these might seem wrong but let us leave all these poeple alone. The truth is if you are not a reporter or have real time you must be jobless to be going to the court. Those of you attending the court are based in the UK. The real effect is not felt by you guys but those in Nigeria. There are more pressing issues in the UK than corruptionin Nigeria. I am of Nigerian heritage grew uppartially in Nigeria. I have realized that it has no effect on me. People do not relate me to Nigeria. If the people in Nigeria can not handle their bussiness themselves then they should go back to colonialism because thisi s indirectly that. In as much as the courts in Nigeria are not trustqworthy , but they should be the ones to Handle such matters of state.I appreciate the report SR are doing. But those of you living in UK get a life and move on. |

... I wonder if the British media would ignore to report it, if 1,000 Nigerians show up in Southwark crown court. I doubt very much if it won't make it to CNN as well. You see, the decision is ours. We can use this try to start something that has never happened before. If you know anyone-relative, brother, concubine, sister, cousin, relations-in London tell them to buy the 2 pounds train ride and just show up , let everyone mobilize ten people that they know. Call your UK relatives to turn up. tell them it is a movie. Nigerians attend carnivals in London a lot, we can call this an "Anti-Yar'adua " Carnival. If 1,000 Nigerians present at once at the venue of this trial. Yar'adua would panic. He is not stone, he's made too many policy somersault because of little push here and there, this can be a shove. |

The Abuja case that went all the way to Supreme court and was resolved in the most suspicious of circumstances?HIs 8 years as the King of the Delta? The millions of USD around the world, The jets,Holliwood life style!The guy is so loud and flambotany;he loves the good life.How many other serving or retired Govs do you know all their girlfriends,houses friends,cars etc?The guy is just too brash and lives like a don.He is like a muscle man in the movies!What he & those who dont understand these things is that the muscle men and the careless men always end up being the fall guys, they end up being the guys who take the bullet for the smart quiet guys who are in the background. Ibori's life is just far too complicated not to attract attention.So guys who say SR is all about Ibori,No, Ibori is a news worthy person...He must be..we are talking about him! |

Whoever think Iboris' days with justice is an ethnic thing should check what Yorubas did to Obasanjo, Tafa Balogun, Sunday Afolabi, Patricia Etteh etc. The brat and other elements hired to cheer thieves are like lunatics who treat their minders as adversaries. I wont be surprised if Ibori move thousands of area boys, area men and women from his village in chartered flight to London to cheer him and his accomplices for destroying both their today and tomorrow. That was how he hired them to pull down court walls when he was being tried in Kaduna before he manipulated the process to bring his case in Nigeria to Asaba so he might have home advantage. That was how Alaiyemesigha manipulated his impoverished people to stage a solidarity march for their future he succeeded in put in jeopardy. The effective check on this is for Liberty Forum and all other progressive groups yonder to rise up to the occasion and chekmate such imbecility with superior numbers. |

There is something grossly wrong with our brains as Nigerians where we see all the wonderful things being done in developed countries and we still think stealing is the norm. I think about this all the time and always conclude that these rogues are worse than animals. In the case of these looters and Nigeria, the sword should be mightier than the pen. The rule of law and all that crap works in other developed countries but will never work in Nigeria as these looters use it to their advantage. The likes of Fayose,Ibori,IBB and other thieves are going around the country today laughing at the masses because of these so-called loopholes. A bloody insurrection will cleanse the country the way it cleansed Ghana 30 years ago. That is the only way out. What say you? |

Heaven knows that you are not neutral, no matter how you try to disguise it. ...And if truly you are bored with the Ibori stories on SR, just take a yawn, close the browser and check something else, I recommend his newspaper-Daily Independedent, his blogsite, www.iborifarse.com or better still the sister website to Iborifarse.com, www.the timesofnigeria.com! You will get a full dose of different perspectives. I suspect that some hired "anti-bloggers" are getting kicked around for letting Ibori case get out of hand. The contractor seems to be saying: "Go out there and counter them". Fellas, the horse has already bolted. you can fool some people sometime!... |

With the glaring corruption of Ibori, you are opening your dirty mouth to defend him. The point is not how many governors were corrupt but how many were convicted...the only reason Ibori may be convicted is because UK courts are involved. None of the governors can be convicted in Nigeria especially with non-entities like you cheering them on as they evade the law. Honestly you should just shut your dirty mouth if you have nothing of value to add to the discussion. |

The Nigerian media too should be advised they are thieves themselves who are easily bought over. You read some stories in our dailies and you get confused if these reporters are actually living amongst us. The media outfits you have in Nigeria now are eyesores and that why most of us has refused to listen to them anymore apart from Gbenga Aruleba. Kudos and may God bless your generation |

There are exceptions though, people of Ondo and Ekiti will never allow people like Ibori flaunt some stolen wealth in their domain. His family and anything that is Ibori will have been stoned to death in delta state. It is a shame to you people of delta state! Do not sit back and think other ethnic groups will come and fight for you. start it and they will support you. Chase Ibori clan out of delta first, and others will follow you. |

Absolutely fantastic article,i really really fail to understand why some morons out here(in london) on ten pounds, would want to go and support a man who , should not be made to face the court but rather should be stoned to death in the presence of his family.Ibori has BLOOD on his hands, the people he deprived of good clean water, good hospitals and social amenities while he was a governor(He got there through rigging and god fatherism anyway). This man must be made to pay for it, he can never be brought to justice in NIgeria, because the courts are in his hands, he must be made to pay for HIS SINS NOW. Its only in Nigeria, a CROOK, A MURDERER and EX CONVICT , can get away with been in the house of representatives, talk less of been a governor. He definitely must me brought to justice here |
