Ibori May Complete Jail Term In UK

The chances of former Delta State Governor, Mr. James Ibori completing his jail term for money laundering in Nigeria looks slim, according to new indications that emerged yesterday.
Following the signing of an agreement between the Nigerian and United Kingdom government for Nigerians currently serving terms there to complete their sentence at home, it had been speculated that Ibori would be a beneficiary of the arrangement.

After a five-year legal ordeal, Ibori was finally jailed for 13 years in April 2012 by Justice Nicholas Pitts.

He is however expected to spend only four and a half years in prison.

A source in the UK High Commission said: “We are not planning to allow Ibori be a beneficiary of the exchange policy, it is not targeted at him. Our laws are very strong on money laundering; the exchange programme does not cover such people like Ibori.

“So, he will complete his prison terms in the UK as part of our own contribution to your anti-corruption agenda.

“If he is brought to Nigeria, we are not sure if he would not be pardoned as a result of pressure from some people”.

Responding to a question, the source added: “The Nigerian government has not made any request for the repatriation of Ibori home to complete his jail terms”.

Similarly, a reliable source in government said: “There is no plan to bring Ibori home under any guise and we will not do so. We will be sending a wrong signal if we do so.

“This is an example of consequence of graft in public office; we want others to learn from Ibori’s experience. His conviction has strengthened our anti-corruption campaign”.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of wo...

Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
