Sarcastic way of describing a person who seems to get all his or her knowledge from the Internet alone.
Joan is an interlectual---you'll always find her on the computer. I've never once seen her with a book in her hand!

Spelling seems to be a big issue in Nigeria these days. ''Interlectual''ok i forgot they are police officers
english is dat hard? afi inTERlectual naa
EFCC no dey shame?...ppl wey una supose go arrest and publish dey dere una no go.,na streetz huzlers una go dey find up and down...foolish ppl.
Ok so EFCC now get involved in tiny cases like this? Cos when someone duped me of N600k in 2006 and wanted to take the case to EFCC and was told they handle case that range from 10million and ablove. i am shocked they now get involve in silly cases like this. So what is the job of the regular policemnen? mshew.....
"Won gbe eerin sori fese nwa eera". Literally translated to mean a hunter that has killed an elephant and who has it on his head heading home is still trying to pursue edible ants with his feet... I'm really sorry for the EFCC if this is the type of criminal matters they now pursue. Total waste of time and all that valuable rediurces expensed to set them up and train them.
Maschew this multi choice and eggs or efcc is a joke
Hmmm interlectual or intellectual. diarisgod.....o
9ja boys are not smiling! Brains dey this country! Instead of jailing this guy they should offer him a job at NTA or HITV
EFCC deals with this type of case? and 50 !! mill?!! damn!

This is pure victimization...why should this poor guy pay 50m for bail....EFCC are just bunch of fools with no direction...awon ole jati jati
What a waste of intellectual, guys like this should be groomed to assist our military develop satalite that could assist them locate Boko Haram Camp to avoid losses of inoscent soul. As for the judge i reset my case using a sledger hammer to kill ordinary hant. His uncle Jonah, Bankole etc who at one time or the other defrauded this country is discharged and aquinted. Derisss God......N50M ko N.50kobo ni. Is DSTV not reaping us this country contrary to the service rendered in SA. Copyright cap nonsense my foot....
They should pay the bail themselves as they can't spell. Idiots
I saw it lmao stupid uneducated ppl they can arraign dis dude but can't arraign politicians for stealing billions n wtf they can't even spell well "morons"
He won't pay 50m, it's 5% dat he will pay.dats how bail works. But if he runs away, his surety will pay 50m
Thief!
Its his hustle. In a country where people device their own means to feed and pay their bills, Whats the govt's contribution in the area of job creation? EFCC so this is a case to pick up? and 50 mil bail with surety? lol. Mediocre organisation that is.
theyre so funny. cant spell intellectual then they display it on a calender sheet. so cheap
Evryone hrd the story of Alimesiya, he has been pardoned and so many of them, 50 milion is absurd and that shows us that nigeria can only move foward only by God's intervention,
God catch am
