It is major headline now that James Ibori pleads guilty but the point here is how will this change the face of corruption in Nigeria? The corruption in Nigeria is beyond words, it has eaten deep into the fabrics and the foundation of our society....it is without shame and remorse. There are worse cases than his, just that they have not been caught. It is a shame how priviledge and power can corrupt.....how messed up a man's life can be. Even those who are more curropt than Ibori will begin to preach now but the average Nigerian knows better.
Ibori and his accomplices are the newest scape goats but they used to be sacred cows as many still remains. Ibori is without those his friends now and i bet he never imagined he'll end up this way.....but that is life! You carry your cross and your shame: it is always personal. I am tempted to believe it is because it was in a UK court, things may have gone otherwise in Nigeria, you know how magic happens here,it could just vanish. It is good news but just a drop of water in the ocean....the same man who couldd have been the next Nigerian President....that tells the type of politics that happens here...but i remain hopeful that things will get better....
