James Ibori is serving 13 years jail term in England for laundering money that he stole from Delta State when he was Governor from 29 May 1999 to 29 May 2007. His friend D.S.P. Alamieyeseigha narrowly escaped similar fate in London. See the attachment.

> I find this analogy ironic and i throw it back: has any Nigerian politician acted without personal benefits to the detriment of our sovereign development? Why weep up sentiments? Who sympathizes with the suffering Nigerians who died from depravity of the political class? Who writes their eulogies? The percentages from oil derivations, where do they end up? How many politicians have ever suffered the humiliation for stealing that a hungry man on the street suffers for stealing a wallet in order to feed? Are playing the victim?
