Julieseto, your contention that there are looters in all political parties (in Nigeria) is the same as saying all feline - cats, lions, leopards and cheetahs-are meat eating mammals. However, when you grade the degree of meat eating, you will be joking to attribute the same degree of prey and meet consumption to all the feline. From May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2015, PDP controlled the National Assembly, the Presidency and majority of the 36 states in Nigeria. Thus, the biggest and the greatest looters in Nigeria have been in the PDP after 16 years of holding government power.

Ogbuefi Chidi Anthony Opara,
Only hypocrites would pretend that the National Assembly has not been captured by the old and new PDP members of the two chambers. That is why a PDP senator which normally should belong to the opposition is now Deputy Senate President. In normal societies, electorates would have protested to restore the mandates they have given to the APC through elections.
No one is demanding that accused persons be sent to prisons as it is being suggested by poetic pettifogers. What is obvious to Nigerians whose eyes are not at the back of their heads is that the accused persons in collaboration with some judges and lawyers frustrate trials. You will probably recall that Justice Marcel Awokulehin of Asaba Federal High Court, dismissed and acquitted 170 count charges of fraud and treasury looting against James Onanefe Ibori in 2010 when he was Governor of Delta State between 1999 and 2007. But the same Ibori was found guilty in London, in 2012, for laundering £250 million stolen from Delta State while he was Governor. The trial in London revealed that James Ibori ought not to have contested election in 1999 because he was convicted for criminal negligence and theft of building materials at Usman Dam near Bwari in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in 1995 by Justice Awwal Yusuf. In order to conceal his conviction, Ibori changed his year of birth from August 4, 1962 to August 4, 1958. Charged along with Ibori in London was his only surviving sister born of the same mother, named Christine Ibori-Ibie. The London court observed through the passport of his sister that Ibori was only one month younger than his senior sister born of the same mother, which is bio-medically impossible. It was also revealed that Ibori was jailed in London in 1991 for theft and in the passport he used then, his date of birth was 4th August 1962. In Nigeria James Onanefe Ibori refused to be tried for fraudulent accumulation of wealth because he, as it is now a practice among looters, parted away with some of the looted funds to judges and lawyers.
I am not an intellectual giant and even though you proudly claim to be a roadside/motorpark poet, I think we are in the same boat as victims of Nigerian state robbers who have stolen our own portion of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Products (GDP). Nigerians in unison should stand up for our rights to retrieve our stollen wealth from itchy-fingered vandals masquerading as officials in Nigeria.
