Fayose, Wike kick against death penalty for corrupt govt officials

 
Governors of Ekiti and Rivers state have kicked against the suggestion that government officials found guilty of stealing the Nations treasury should be sentenced to death.

The state governors spoke against this during the National rallies held by NLC members to canvass for support for the Buhari anti corruption drive as well as call for death penalty to be enforced on corrupt government officials.

Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose argued that death penalty which has been enforced in some other countries has not stopped the looting of public funds in those countries.

“In countries where death penalty was introduced, it has not stopped looting. In advanced countries like US, jail sentence is the penalty. What we need is proper moral education to change orientation of the people. Jail sentence is better; it can reform,” he told Punch

In the same vein, the Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike who spoke through his media aide, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, said that death penalty was practiced in the military regime. He however called for a review of the laws on looting the Nations treasury

“Nigerians have a role to play by deriding looters and not to praise them for their fiscal irresponsibility. There should be a strong punitive measure to discourage looting because of its domino effects. When a treasury is looted, there won’t be money for the provision of necessities such as hospitals, roads, etc. Maybe because it happened in Ghana and the economy improved, the labour organisations want it in Nigeria. But that was a military regime and Jerry Rawlings was a military man. However, the extant laws on looting need serious and urgent review, even if the death penalty is discouraged.”he said

Ondo state governor, Olusegun Mimiko, who spoke through his information commissioner, Kayode Akinmade, said due process must be followed if Nigerians agree that the death penalty is what should be meted on corrupt officials.

“We are not under a military rule; this is democracy and we have constitution that we follow. If it is put in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, irrespective of whether you are a governor or not, so be it. If that is what Nigerians want, it is okay. Everybody is against corruption, but there is a process of making law. Thank God we have a National Assembly and the state assemblies who are representative of the people. If such bill could be sent to the national and state assemblies and be passed into law, it must become a law. If the process is followed and it is the wish of Nigerians that looters be killed, why not? Let it become a law. It is a fact that Nigerians are not happy with this corruption tag, which has slowed down our economic development but if we have a law that will bring about capital punishment for the looters, it is okay.”he said

I have declared my assets to the relevant authorities, I don't need to make it public - Wike

                                 
Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike says he has declared his assets to the relevant authorities and is not compelled to make it public. Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sir Opunabo Inko-Tariah, Wike said what is important in asset declaration is the sincerity behind it ...


    "The governor has declared his assets and this is exactly what he told newsmen during the tour of his administration’s projects. There is no law compelling him to make his declaration public. He has declared his assets and the declaration was made to the relevant authority. Let me also say that it is not just about asset declaration; it has to do with the sincerity of the person because some may over-declare when they want to steal in future. So, they declare to accommodate the theft in future.

    Some may also declare for whatever reason; maybe they have held public offices in the past and they don’t want people to know that they have stolen money. So, people will declare; it is not all about the declaration of assets. What is crucial is the sincerity of the person declaring and you are supposed to declare when you get out of office. But the truth is that if you are a governor or a minister, what matters is the delivery of the dividends of democracy. That is what is important and it is not about what you declare and how much you declare.” Wike said

Every Man You Have Sex With Deposits Something In You

Busty Nollywood Actress Halima Abubakar shared these very information. Read for your own good:

Most of us haven't been properly educated about s*x. It's almost a taboo to discuss these things outside of private matters, but the silence leads to a lack of awareness of what it even is. Does anybody even know? I mean it is the most powerful force that creates life.

Most see it as a physical experience, but forget the bond, connection, energy exchange, and deep cellular interaction one experiences with their partner. When men or women decide to have multiple partners, it can send mixed emotional signals inside of the body’s vibration system.

People must be careful of different energies or spiritual forces polluting their internal temple...

That imprint can often create illusion of a s*xual addiction. Ever wonder why they call it s*xual intercourse (INTER-Course)? It’s an internal course that unites man and woman, mind with mind, spirit with spirit, or energy with energy. This is something that a condom can’t protect you against because energy is behind the elements of all flesh.

There is no such thing as “casual” s*x or “friends with benefits". Intimate activity intricately entwines the energies between two people. S*x creates a powerful exchange of s*xual energy between those involved. These connections, imprints and debris are left upon the mind, soul and spirit for a long time because they are not easily purged or cleansed.

This is the concept of how STDs are also formed, when multiple cellular communities (bodies) come in contact, a virus or bacteria forms. On a physical level we have been educated to use "protection" but on an energy level nobody discuss the effects it creates on one’s mind, body, and soul. It's too much of a taboo to discuss and hidden away to avoid.

Become aware of what's going on, even if you've never heard it before, just think about it, ponder on it, and see the inner wisdom you receive.

EXPOSED: Akpabio’s ‘World-Class’ Hospital not yet completed

‎More details, on Tuesday, emerged on why the ex-Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, after his involvement in a car accident, failed to seek medical attention at the ‘world-class’ hospital he claimed to have built and commissioned before he vacated office on May 29, 2015.

“Let me use this opportunity to correct one wrong impression...


the former governor was not flown abroad for treatment. The distinguished Senator was actually on his way out of the country to visit his family that has been on holiday outside the country and he had wanted to move from there to the United States to attend a conference of his colleagues when the accident occurred.

“Recall that the accident occurred in the morning on Monday (August 31), and by 5:30pm he was discharged that same day. There was no serious injury that would have warranted foreign treatment or foreign medical attention.

“It was therefore not correct for people to insinuate that Senator Akpabio was flown abroad. He flew abroad on his own, he wasn’t flown by anybody. He was strong enough on Tuesday to make the trip which he cancelled ‎on Monday because of the accident.

“After the accident, just like every other person who is in a car that had an impact, he had to go to the hospital where they did all manner of checks and confirmed that he had no internal injury, no broken bones and no dislocation. So the doctor certified him fit to make the trip on Tuesday morning.

“That impression that he went to ‎a hospital abroad for treatment has to be corrected. As for the issue of the hospital he built, I can tell you because I am part of the team that incorporated that hospital.

“‎The hospital is functional. I can tell you that it is a hospital that was commissioned and is still going to be commissioned in phases.

“The first and second phases are functional and is working right now, though not all the components of that hospital.

"I am not going to lie to you, the 100 per cent capacity has not been activated."

The current Attorney General of the Akwa Ibom State, Uwemedimo Nwoko, tried to defend Akpabio.

But this picture from his hospital bed is saying something different. Naija politicians and their lies sha!
