Nigerian Court Martial has always remained a joke of the highest order. I don't know this convicted general but the court martial is as corrupt as anything. What goes on there is simply power struggle that aims always at de-ranking or demotion or disgrace of officers with brighter future. Worse of it is that, this struggle goes as low as to fighting junior officers with great future. I think these court martial must restructure on the foundations of human dignity, integrity, impartiality, truthfulness and fairness.

They also control a business empire, with products ranging from cornflakes to cement, from mortgages to missiles, from bread to banking, from educational institutes to commerical real estate, and everything in between. Anyone who has ever confronted them has paid dearly. Think of all that happened since 9-11, OBL being found in Pakistan, the whole western society blaming Pakistan for supporting Taliban, yet Pakistan's Army Chief still got full military honors when he last visited the Pentagon in the US, and before that when he went to the UK. So for us, it shows that they truly are demigods with power and reach that is far beyond the border they control.
