And so, the Naked Dancing by the former Governor of Nigeria's Delta State Continues. james Ibori had appealed his 13year Sentence despite his guilty plea. We are now being told about other undisclosed Assets in other Countries of the World. One can now see the level of profligacy of Nigerian Leaders as exemplified by James Ibori. May be, James Ibori feels he can scale down Justice as it is done here in Nigeria. The aggregate loots by James Ibori and his Counterparts in governance in Nigeria could be staggering, prompting infrastructural deficit and attendant mass poverty in this Country. May be, James Ibori is appealing for a reduction of his prison terms, but we are told that, his guilty plea made the term of his sentence shorter. Our Leaders should draw example here: 'No Sinner will go without punishment', if not on this earth, at least hereinafter, he will not escape the punishment of God'. Stealing from the public Till to acquire or buy luxirous properties in Advanced Nations of the World is greatly insensitive and wicked. 'Of what benefit for a man to inherit this World, and lost his Soul'. James Ibori and his Co-travellers should turn to God for forgiveness. The crime of looting this Nation, and depositing these loots in prosperous European, American, Arabian Nations, whose Countries are ahead of Nigeria by over One Thousand years in terms of development, is to say the least, heinous.

Some of the Oga‘s should be preparing to join him by 2015.
