Gbolahan Dada, a senator from Ogun state and few other sincere politicians in Nigeria who are believed to be corrupt free are suggesting death sentence for anyone found guilty of corruption in Nigeria as alleged. It was also suggested that this method would deter politicians in Nigeria from looting the treasury of the country. This has shown that few Nigerian politicians can still be trusted. We also believe that those few politicians suggesting this form of punishment for anyone found guilty of corruption have nothing to hide and should be commended, but our (Viewers Corner News and the advisory team) take on this is that as children of God, we should leave vengeance for our father who is God Almighty. He is the only one that has final say because he made us believe that “on no account should any of his children on earth destroy what he created”, therefore as human beings we have no right to take another person’s life no matter the nature of the offence any individual may have committed, this is a fact. However, we (Viewers Corner News and the advisory team) are suggesting that anyone found guilty of corruption should be jailed for a long time and his looted wealth taken away from him or her. We also believe that this aspect of punishment would be appropriate for such offender rather than the death sentence as suggested by some people. As human beings, we should always have second thought attitude in our system, somehow it has been proved in the past that some convicted offenders repented after serving their terms in prison and became of great assistance to the society. Also certain offences committed by some individuals may be as a result of being in a wrong state of mind at that point in time therefore we should always give people the opportunity to correct their mistakes in life. It is only when the offender does not want to change, then he or she can be put to jail permanently but certainly not the death sentence.
Let us leave vengeance for the Almighty God like we mentioned above because he has the final say.
