Thank you, Oga Femi.
Sometimes, Oga Chidi surprises me. Is the main issue that others are also celebrating their thieves or that all thieves should be roundly excoriated everywhere we find them? Saying "this should not be taken to mean he was innocent" is an afterthought. What matters here is not the spurious justification that clans matter supposedly give such acts, as your quote suggests. What really matter is that stealing is morally bad, whether committed by an Igbo or a Yoruba. C'est fini! And human right activists ought to know better, except those unfortunately sold to the ethnic agenda that justifies all things terrible and bad.
And Ibori was convicted because of political differences and not because he stole? Oga Chidi, your thought direction is betrayed already!

So what is your argument? A rationalisation? A justification of this shameless act, whether is Lagos or Delta? Methink self acclaimed civil rights activists like you should be clear on where they stand on issues that bothers on decency and integrity

The people celebrating James Ibori are his people and they are doing so because other thieves in Nigeria are being celebrated by their own people. Although Ibori was convicted in Britain, he was however, convicted because of the political differences between him and the people in government in Nigeria then, but this should not be taken to mean that he was innocent.CAO.
