Smh!! Especially Alamieyeseigha, well, what do you expect from a corrupt Cabal?
So why is Ibori in prison then? Shameless shameless act by the president and his mumu advisers... Nonsense country
All I can say is Naija is a flipping joke! On what grounds are these peeps being pardoned?!
I dey laugh in my OBJ voice, GEJ never fails to prove how inept & morally corrupt he is. Oh well, nothing out of naija now can amaze me.. Goodluck indeed
Others I have no problem with except Alams. Is it not too soon? Has he paid back everything he embezzled?
Romance Meets Life
All dese pple still dey alive?if dey are n re in prison den its 4d best!dey don tey der,he shud av given al mustapha too!not fair.even alamasie don suffer!lol,it is well
Pardoning a thief like Alams is not good for our society...what message is gridlock passing...that you can steal and get state pardon? Shege
I think dat politics is working,are dey d only inmates?abeg lindy babe free me i hate dis type of news
What happened to the "rule of law" which frowns against such prerogatives?? Moreover,the president shouldn't exercise his prerogative power in such manner! In this case,its not in the interest of justice,there are a lot of old people,pregnant women,sick people and so on in nigerian prisons.The set of people afore-mentioned are those whom the drafters of the constitution had in mind when the prerogative of mercy power was enacted.

Your list is incomplete, maj Gen Tajudeen Olarenwaju and Col Edwin Jando are on the list as well
Am not surprised, I wonder when they would remember to pardon common men in dis country. All those mentioned shldnt have bin pardoned at all, after syphooning public money. Yet some innocent citizens are ravishing in prisons. God is watching ooo.
A glaring demonstration of lack of values. Even fools can decipher it was all arranged for the great Alams! Uncle Jona, Oko Pashy carry go!
Hmmm... Nawa oooo, first to comment sha
Dat means dey accused dem of wat dey did not do.Shu dis is terrible.
Crime pays in nigeria
Thts a nice one... Giving space for the ppl in power to take their position...
Alamiewhatever, the cross dresser thief got on the list of other credible persons because of 2015 elections. God is watching you, GEJ.
Yes he's recycling old thieves because of 2015...he is d worst president ever!
My country Nigerian is....walking dead.know justice.human right is for d rich.
Sometimes I wish if God could destroy dis wicked generation,so we all start fresh.
Gross Rubbish.! Y pardoning them after embazz!ng our Money.? They shd have ROt in prison,to serve has lesson to others.
All thievies in nig prisons shld be set free. After all, some of them stole just handset worth 3k. Smh
Target was his former boss Alamieyeseigha. Others were included by dictates of politics. By this singular act, the war against corruption is dead and buried.
OMG! This is scary. I am short of words. How could they have done this. These people have done injustice to Nigeria. They can call this good politics and planning but this is, unequivocably, a bad governance. We look up to God to safe us all from this executive menace. God is our Deux ex Machina
This is all bullshit some of this men don't need state pardon cause as far as I'm concerned thay are innocent A̶̲̥̅̊nÏ‘ what's the meaning of pardon for the dead..... Jonathan na goat ...... First to Tongues out
If no one is pardoned, Alamei will be.
Alams Alams Alams Alams, how many times i call u, u still be OLE AJIBOLE.....Jona na ur broda na... Alams D Real thief.
Everyday I get even more convinced that Nigeria will eventually split even if I never wanted it so but I am beginning to appraise it....
The retribution would be massive!
Just today i Imagined, if this f*cking nation chooses to hold a censor's who would ever want to be found working in the north-east as an ad hoc staff.....?
Jona na ur handiwork be this......SMH. Hissssss. Peter

For the phantom coup plotters; they didn't commit any crime. They were victims of the excesses of a ruthless military junta. That being said, I really do not understand why a state pardon should be given to a governor who was indicted for money laundering and outright theft of his state's treasury. It really beats me. Then what becomes of the hundreds or thousands of inmates or ex-cons that stole far less? This our president is turning out not to be the messiah we all expected. I'm glad I didn't waste my time voting for him ( as if my vote would have really mattered, smh). I presume there are more crucial issues to be discussed at a Council of States meeting.Our leaders should all have their heads examined.

In nigeria anything is possible. So y do they get presidential pardon and others don't get. Honestly I'm lost can som1 b kind enough to explain this me... I weep 4 my country! How can u give presidential pardon 2 a man that even broke international law? Nigeria I hail thee!!!!!!!!!
This is actually for Alams others are after thought. How do you pardon a convict who should still be languishing in jail. Bode George to follow not sutprised sha it can only happen in 9ja. Mtschewww
Alamesia??????Pardoned?????? Oga o.
Shame on Jonathan and shame on Nigeria. The message that continues to get reaffirmed to young people is that if you steal enough, there will always be a way out in Nigeria. Alamiesiegha that is an escapee from u.k! Only in Nigeria, this is a national shame. Only 1 major conviction inspite of all the graft and thievery and thats ibori in the u.k. Chai..
Hehehehe!!! Welcome to Nigeria my beloveth country. Bode George and co.you are next.
Linda go and sleep, u don try for today..I will tell you what I think in the morning, haba!
Pray that this month, you will encounter the man of your dreams and enter another level. Claim it and believe it, then expect.
Oya, ka chifo! Jesus is Lord!! Gunite!
Was d State Pardon also extended to all the other ex-governors, VIPs and regular folk who were also indicted/convicted for theft & money laundering? Bcos don't see how different Diepreiye Alamieyeseigha's case is from Ibori's and others like Saminu Turaki,Igbinedion, Dariye, Orji Uzor, Cecelia Ibru, Bode George, Lawrence Anini,Fred Ajudwa etc. GEJ, u are a big disappointment!
Do all people that were imprisoned illegally in Kiri Kiri for 15 years get a state pardon as well.. What about those that stole a cup of garri to feed their hungry children....smhhhhh
it is of no doubt even the primary school pupil will testify GEj govt is the most immoral,corrupt and clueleness accident ever happened to nigeria, but am sure all days are for the thief only 1 day for the owner,sure time is coming when GEj his wife, orubebe, Diezani and co travellers in the Ali baba and forty thieves shall appear b4 a panel similar to oputa confession inchains leg and hand shedding tears shamelessly for thier wicked and shameless stealing b4 the public, no way God shall allow these idiots to die peacefully. We are waiting and watching really a messiah is coming to jail all these impudent and shameless thieves
All because of his God father Alamieyeseigha and still indirectly rules d federation...pardon a corrupted governor dressed like a pregnant woman to jump bail in d united kingdom....y not include taffa balogun in d list as well then
nonsense! i pity Nigeria.
I tink hw does ds affect d price of garri In d mkt?*sips shawarma*
There's nothing jona doesn't pardon. Someone that's thinking of granting boko amnesty can amaze me no more...
--Teeteelahyo--
WELL, NO SURPRISE... IT IS NIGERIA AFTERALL. ROLLS EYES
GEJ! God punish you and your future generation for what you are doing to this country & its people! All in the name of second term?!!! My fellow Nigerians come 2015 we HAD better vote wisely, v v wisely or else we & our children are doomed!! Count on it!

Godfather Alams is the main reason for this pardon, others are just ADDITIVES. I CAN'T IMAGINE I VOTED THIS GOVT, am so ashamed.
Is this a game or something?becos mr president want his fellow town man freed he had to roll in yoruba and hausa convicts.this country is so corrupt.
Pardon ke anyway hope say dem don learn small lesson for jail .
What else......
ITS A VERY GOOD IDEA TO PARDON CORRUPT AND CONVICTED THIEVES, CRIMINALS AND ENEMIES OF NIGERIA. Pardon everyone in jail. Pardon all the killers, rapists, arned robbers and pedophiles. Set them free. PDP are united and ready to steal the next presidential election. If you voted for PDP, slap yourself. Nigerian government, PDP and Goodluck Jobathan are too corrupt. For this so called "pardon", Goodluck Jonathan and PDP should be kicked out of government. Smh.
A thief is still a thief....Pardon or not but then again we are talking about Nigeria....Whatever!
Shiiioorrr in order to pardon his godfather he just put the other names there to balance it...ode ni jona sha ko ni da fun..why e dey pardon dead pple,wud dey wake up and run for office ni
May thunder fire the life and destiny of the so called leaders of this country! The souls of petty offenders who have served long term awaiting trial and even died in d process would hunt d destiny of dem and deir children!!!! They would all die of strange diseases and sickness IJMN!!!! Usless people.....
Very stupid and irresponsible government. their theft and evil caused so much harm to numerous people. but you wont pardon convicts. fucking bullshit country.
I knew Alamieyeseigha wld get a pardon 1 day n it is long expected. In Nigeria we decive our selfs alot. Truly d present administration is fighting corruption. 4 sm 1 who committed a minor offence never gets a pardon but rather live wit d fact n stigma of bin a convict or an ex-convict 4 life. I sorry sorry o i sorry 4 Nigeria. Truly d less privillage will always remain tools in d hands of d privillage corrupt leaders.
A very useless and unnecessary pardon! It's all sham- the main target /beneficiary of this frivolous exercise is Alameiyesiegha, the so-called Jonathan benefactor. Yeye!!!
State pardon or no state pardon we know who alams is...a thief.they police is stil waitin 4 him in london
I smell a conspiracy somewhere. Most of these people are all PDP crooks
Not surprised. Corrupt nation for corrupt people! Their judgement is with God.
Well a second chance for them!!!
Needs to include Emmanuel Anini.
Nigeria politics is the most fraudulent game ever...because it has always been a glaring fraud...ofcourse all these pardon thing is because of Alamieyeseigha (useless human being)...I wont be surprise if he becomes the next petroleum or power minister..
What's the use of a state pardon to a dead man
Etooluwa atere
The only odd person on this list is Alams. He is the only one that was a straight-forward thief and not embroiled in military politics. But why is it a surprise? His co-conspirator and fellow thief is now in charge and must sort out his boss.
They should only be pardoned if they set up charities with every last penny they stole
Ewooo ¶ tat diya's daughter was Ðœ̣̣̇Æ” class mate in fggc shagamu! Na wa Ooº°˚ bolanle so ur papa na thief too hian! BehiNd sofa Ooº°˚
Diepreiye Alamieyeseigha ke!? Mr No-Shoes and his cohorts will never fail to disgrace and disappoint Nigeria and Nigerians! This is a man who within the 1st year of his 1st term in office as Executive Governor of Bayelsa state,stole over 17million pounds (over 4.25 billion naira) from said state! A man who was caught and charged to court for money-laundering in Britain,and who escaped the hand of the law by fleeing from said country dressed as a woman! A man who is currently on the wanted list of the INTERPOL for crimes committed in another country,and will be arrested if he ever leaves this country! That's the man that has been given a state pardon,which makes him eligible to run for any public office he deems fit! Haa! I cry for my country!
After releasing this people the president and his cohort should also go to the U.K and ask for the release of ibori so they can form an intelligence criminal formidable force (ICFF). I guess the president need this people to give him some idea, skills, and insight on how they can steal Nigeria's money without the people noticing. ha Nigerians Una don tire GEJ.
lad...

Nigeria is a joke
A state pardon? Aka a presidential pardon? Hmmmmm,it would av been an ok development bt I smell a conspiracy of sorts. Something is brewing...we'll probably get to find out by 2015 God willing.
Mr President, if you are granting Alams state pardon why not add Bode, Farouk, Ibori, Igbene and co bacause the all deserve it. Looters, God wll soon expose all of you
G.E.J, is d most corrupt person in Nigeria. Mr President is not interested in fighting corruption instead he is busy Seeking favour from all quarters in preparation for 2015. He cant take a decision on how to tackle d secuurity condition of this country. Infact he has failed. Nigerians are waiting patiently to vote him out by d next general election.
Me no like this pardon O°˚˚˚ , y cant they also pardon the common man in prison yard too,why these special thiefs. Well I guess because our president is a james bond 007 special thief also.
This r high class pple who have committed great offence. Why don't they finish their term cos it will definitely send message that we should fight our way 2 d top, steal from d pple n later get a presidential pardon. NIGERIA is definitely heading for doom. Why not free all the prisoners then. May God help oooo
For 14 years there have been campaigns for the reversal of d death sentence on KEN SARO-WIWA who was wrongly convicted. No>GEJ did not favor a hero world-wide for his sacrifice.... He rather chose Alameseigha..
God will avenge Nigeria...

What has Alamieyeseigha offence got to do with the others?Jona just wants to release his political godfather using the rest as a cover up!
Alamie' is supposed to rot in jail!
I think it's good, and a welcome development.
Jonathan is just useless, d most corrupt and clueless president ever, if he's doing this bcos of 2015 then he has failed. He will lose dat election
The pardon is OK. I just hope it doesn't encourage more Big Boy Nigerians to do bad.
Thief ALAMS gets state pardon after stealing the country blind. next on the line will be Bode George and Ibori. Nigeria which way. They may receive political pardon but in the mind of Nigerians, they are still thieves.
No difference btw gej and dese ppl, they r all criminals, a president who promotes corruption, can't wait to see him lose in 2015, we v had enough, nothing is working in this country
Are u kiddn, presidential pardon for these thieves and many innocent ppl are rotting in prison. Can someone tell wat gud dey ve done to deserve a pardon. This country won't cease to surprise me. Is dis presidents strategy for his 2nd tenure. Me dey go form country. Linda join me, we wud mk a great team
Am really happy abt d pardon that was granted most especially for Gen. Oladipupo Diya
hookay! what happened to Al-Mustapha!!!!!! Not fair joor
They can pardon them, but they must not be allowed to hold any political or governmental offices ever again till they leave this world.
Eeewoooh....Jona make mistake, him list no complete nah. Him forget to add Anini of former Bendel state, d "great" armed robber..... smh
Gej should b impeached.. I'm vexed#straight face#........poko baby!
Political strategy for 2015. Whether they hold them or leave its never in the interest of Nigerian people,so all is simple political.
This people are jokers.They should as well grant all the armed robbers in prison pardon and even given them money. Msscchhwwww.Rubbish
alamieyeseigha state pardon... i dont even know what jonathan have for this country... alamieyeseigha that dressed like a woman to escape being caught in europe... jona na disgrace abeg.. @YKILUMINATI
alamieyeseigha gets state pardon... this is what you will get if you elect a leader with no virtues, no shoes and no ideology... Please people lets do the right thing what you think is impossible can be possible, please go and check out all the under bridges in lagos some are now green, clean and even generating revenues by being car parks.
they dont deserve it jhur, its rubbish!
we need a president who is firm in his decision not someone who can make decisions or his decision are influenced by external forces
Nonsense and firewood!!! Why should they be pardoned? Did they ask for pardon? Dat Alamyy... or whatever he is called should do his full term. He is a disgrace to Nigeria and to mankind. Lots of prisoners who deserve pardon don't get and these bunch of looters will have presidential pardon only to continue enjoying their ill-gotten wealth. Thoroughly pissed!!!
y not Abacha's killer machine, what is wrong with these people?
Alamieyeseigha pardoned? It means any one can any bull sh*t in this country and get away with it. up GEJ!
Alamieyeseigha granted state pardon? That means any highly placed Nigerian would do anything and get away with it. Up GEJ!
Alamieyeseigha pardoned? It means any one can any bull sh*t in this country and get away with it. up GEJ!
we sin everyday and ask God for pardon. He pardons us. So wats d big deal in jona granting pardon to alams and others?
Wat i expct u foolish lib readers to ask is what they mean by pardon in govt?
Alams and others deserve the pardon.
You will def knw he is seeking for favour, imagine d list is even occupied by northerners.......I pity ds country sha

Nigeria is a failed state...it's time to break it up to different nationalities: Biafra, Oduduwa, Fulani/Hausa & Delta...and let each of the new countries go their own separate ways as INDEPENDENT COUNTRIES!
NO MORE NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uncle Joe "Father of thieves"!!!
WHICH WAY NIGERIA?
Birds of a feather. How thief will not forgive thief.
Lol! I would nvr hav thot of qualifyin dat duck with word gridlock. Very original indeed.
Its breaks my heart to see what Nigeria has been reduced to. See what the future looks like... http://t.co/u53nBLqdJK
Each time Mr. President wins back the heart of Nigerians after a blunder, 'they' advise him to commit another one. His advisers should all be sent back to secondary school if they even attended in the first place. They are all either big time olodos or saboteurs. The plan was pardoning Alamieyeseigha all along, the others just got cover up pardons. After all his oga Yar'adua was President first and did not pardon his dead brother. What kind of fools do they think we are. Cry dey hungry me I swear.
