Bode George who was declared guilty by a court of law in Nigeria went to prison with great fanfare. At the expiration of the prison term he was received by his friends with even greater fanfare and a thanksgiving service was held at a church to welcome him into society. So I would not be surprised if James IborI is given a national honour when he returns to Nigeria. In Yoruba language Ibori is elewon+ tokunbo= special status now. Weep not for my beloved nation.

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.
