The Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos State on Tuesday sentenced a Chinese national, Li Lei Lei, to 24 months imprisonment for mutilating the Nigerian currency, Naira.
Justice Oweibo on Tuesday found the accused guilty as charged and sentenced him to two years imprisonment.
It could have been 5years
Good one
Good 👍
Is too small, it suppose life imprisonment since he is not serious.
😇😇😇
Atiku Abubaka
reminding us valueless the currency is!
Is it a new law?
But the CBN 2007 act says not less than 5 years. Here they are giving him soft judgment because he is white.
What an embarrassment... No respect for the country... Can a foreigner do this to Chinese currency
Its about time
How much be naira to Dollar.
Cold zobo Naija court will jail a Chinese man Say something else
You did the right thing. Because naira is nothing
This Chinese no get levels ...I will be ashamed of the Chinese government if they allow this to happen to their citizen in a country like Nigeria were our leaders are lawless and foolish
What impudence! Nigerian govt should also make sure they deduct that 1k from the money Buhari... Sorry, I mean Nigeria is owing China from the loans. Yes, Nigeria's 'gbese' from China is 1k less. Hallelujah!!!
If na 2yrs Dem give am, make him use 2yrs
This shows that Nigerian currency is nothing
Two years is too small. He should be given ten years with hard labor
👏👏👏
That's good
...N1000 is not up to $2... we just dey do shakara!... no substance at all!!
I have seen our people do worse things to the Naira including rejecting it...the charge sounds curious
Wow I so much appreciate this
Good
In think 🤔 say na hidden dragon 🐉 🤔 😏 😄
Hahahaha Nigeria my country
they would have probably murdered him and his family if he did that in his own country china. he is lucky. I can't imagine what will happen to a BLACK man doing the same in china
Learn how to respect the Law of the Land.
Which Nigeria jail Chinese man 🙄
Its an injustice for a country that purposefully dilapidates his own currency by Nigeria Banks and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
If a Nigerian does this in China, it’s game over!
He's mad
Better
Only 2 years? May thunder fire him there.
Chai😢
When e no get value for him front
Make them put am for Kiri Kiri with harm labour. Nah see finish dey cause some kind rubbish.
Misplaced priority
Just shut up, this is justice.
Why jail him, this is what you have made your currency become, ordinary piece of paper no value
Serves him right for disrespecting the Nigerian nation not just the currency
If na dem contri dem for do worst.
Deportation next, the fool
This useless man that started tearing Nigeria currency if Nigeria eventually back from from their market they we feel it in their bone and body acting as if he as something looking like my backyard frog 🐸
Nice one.
But you abuse it daily by spraying the currency
Haba bro why did you do that to my able naira?
Dem suppose use am cook pepper soup for them and make them eat it... Nonsensical individuals
😂😂
Monkey no fine, but him mama like am. Brief of what just happened...
Just law that caught up with him.
Lol d currency has no value at all
Just 2 years? It may amount to death penalty in China.
I hope this story is true.
I can still remember when I ran out of tissue paper, I decided to make use of 3 500....
See lie🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 them tear our money wey we dey tear by ourselves... Lol.. after the loans abeg shift
Small nyash has finally shaked...
The same Chinese people that borrow us money and will soon be in charge of our railways. What a shame to this administration
Only 2 years?
Those Chinese, India, Palestinian and Lebanese people do this on a regular basis. Tearing and burning our currency
Why jail ? Flog am 96 strokes so that next time him go get sense
He's aware of the lack of value there of. But 2 years is small compared to what Africans in general get in China for just about anything.
They should also arrest NancyIsime__ for doing same.
Good one our judiciary👍
FG pay more attention and take fast action on punishing a foreigner on tampering naira note than innocent people being kidenapped or killed everyday. can they respond to those concerning security and economy at same efficiency.
Let him go to jail according to law .a Tv social analyst from Benin Republic burned cfa note here in Senegal few years ago,he arrested prosecuted and expelled from Senegal.
Yeah make we use am as example🤣
I beg, make una free d man, money wey no get value, na to tear ram naa.
Good! Section 21 CBN Act, 2007 in action.
Life in naija nor easy as a free man then you come go prison... Omo.....
E get value before? 😏
When Nigeria is a free country why won’t he do that they even have security more than us in our country why won’t he do that
Why ? The crooked politicians and disgraceful central bank set of criminals turned the currency into toilet paper anyway!
Wtf, it's his money .Earn yours!
KenyanTraffic Is he normal
Good. Let him go know he cannot disrespect us
Lmao…serves him right….
But people can make trouble for no reasons.
Good morning
See common Chinese insulting my Legal Tender. He has the audacity to do so because we are owing them.
This is the more reason why we need criminal justice system reforms This is damn wrong to imprison anyone for destroying his own earned 💴 After any money come into your account or you cash it, it’s yours & you can do whatsoever you wish including destroying it Injustice
If it’s in China, I don’t think that Nigerian will be given just 2 years of jail time, I was expecting atleast a 5 year minimum sentence
He will never serve the jail term. I can assure you.
Honestly I think that Two years is too Small....but it's a step in the right direction.
Am sure the value of the currency annoy him but you don't have to go that far Mr man,that serves you right
Akuko
Na village people do this one o
Idi Amin:- U call Ugandan Money 💰 shit 🤣 Money.
2yrs is small
Choi! Height of disrespect from a foreigner....
Because zoological Republic of Nigeria is shite
What nonsense, I don’t blame the foreign illiterates coming into our country anyhow, since we honour them against our fellow country men, our country is sliding down fast and MBuhari is using toothpick in aso rock..it’s ok no wahala
The naira our leaders don’t even have value for
Watin them go take suspend am for China na em this Chinko bonzo dey do for here.
He is not going anywhere
This is a welcome idea. We wouldn't say because naira is of little value then we should mess with it. Nobody can do that with yuan their currency. Kudos to authority
Good...
This why we shouldn't encourage spending dollars in Nigeria we need to value our dear naira
This gangsters called Chinese are becoming something else, he should get 22 years in prison
Nigeria currency will soon become srilankan currency 🥱🥱.. wait I'm coming 🙄
This Chinese man no hold money. Or him country no like am.
Hw true is dis?
Ofcurse what the man did is exactly what NIGERIAS are
How many want to bet that this fellow would be on the way back to China pretty soon.
What a farce
He should tear Zimbabwean dollar too
Naira don suffer for we hand and some stupid foreigners no get respect.
I hope they will deport him after serving his sentence
nice one
Naira notes are good to be torn, tissue paper has better quality than them; but not by a foreigner.
China people don't have respect sha, if you work with them you will affirm this, they will even insult you to your face.
Wetin be 5yrs jail for this hawk? add more 5 yrs and by the time he finished serving a jail term in Nigeria with hard labour he would be bending and walking with stick
Sometimes I don't just understand what does people take Nigeria to be poor or weak I do not know if not that Nigeria has a pity mind no body in this world can mess up with Nigerian even I am not joking we Africans need to open eyes and stand for our right all day
_screenshoter
They will never have respect for your currency as long government still go Cap in hand begging for loan from china
That’s good for him
Make him appear on cnn and bbc.
Lol
Your currency is nothing to write home about
Only 2 years ?
Good !
Can you imagine? Look at his head.
Two years tho? A fine would have been more appropriate!!
The Chinese try to explain how Nigeria should be divide and how many nations will come out from it
pikaso_me please screenshot this tweet
Only two years 🤷try this nonsense in china and get your head beheaded n throw out
Please make it 10. We don’t tolerate such
For Nigerian mind, abeg since wen did Nigeria money begin to have value
Well deserved
20years against him is better than 2years
this english is so scattered and all
Fem fi lockup em bloodclat!
Dj yk mule
Thank God say no be russian.
Tactically showing how they dehumanise Nigerians in Nigeria and in China.
No matter what let us value our own. In Yoruba land there's an adage that says ' It is only a bastard will use left hand to point to his father's house'.
Audio Jail
Let them show us when they are in prison!!
He should even burn the currency
In China, that qualifies him for death sentence !!!**✓✓¶
In
As you jailed him, remember that you are owing him a heavy debt.
Girls wey dey tear am use am create & fix finger nails for salon nko?
Did I hear jail... ? When the man is living fine and good wherever he is now in Nigeria
Too much leniency in the judgement
Why won't he tear your leaders cherish or value the same naira.If they do,why are they spending dollars at this election time.What kind of example are they setting.They should all be in jail like the Chinese.
Good
😂😂😂😂😂
So if I tear my money now dem go jail me
Well done
Haba! This is not fair na. Two year is way too small. They should have counted the number of pieces of the money and slam it on him 😁
He Should've even wiped his Ass with the piece of shit you call currency...
Good one
Who never tear naija currency b4 even banks dey tear the currency abeg make them free the man
Person wey be say na Prisoner him be for China before dem carry am come Naija to serve him Jail term🙄🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
i wonder if the same sentence for two years in prison for Nigeria own citizen to do the sane as the Chinese.
I thought we are owing them Make dem no vex o
This is the evidence of poor and useless governance in the country. It's a pity.
Useless country, only 2yrs, if it is in China they still sentence a Nigerian to life imprisonment for this crime, I don't like the privilege they give these foreigners.
When you look at it from another perspective, it will be out of anger that the money he left his country to come and work for is now almost the same value with ordinary paper.
Two years , court forgot to add with hard labor
Uselëss court . Make china cum do us wetin russia dey go ukraine biko
See finish dey cause am.
If we Nigeria travel other countries we try everything possible to respect their does and don't..but other people around come into Nigeria is a different game.bcos that supposed to inspect many damage especially Chinese are causing in the are all busy looking for bag of money.
For currency way no get value 😂😂
Nigerians make we try to d reason wel na, even if Naira is d worst currency in d world, it's D symbol nd pride of our nation nd no 1 should tear it, dude shld be getting like 10 yrs in prison 4 this. Naija, make we try to fight 4 this country b4 it will hit us directly 1 on 1
Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nigeria. I don’t know 🤷♂️ what to say self. Lolz
Imagine say you dey same prison with the Chinese guy.. Hope the China aren't angry I don't have strenght for war oh
Because it's a toilet paper
The best story of today. Good job Judge.
My problem is if they finally ban okada in lagos as from tomorrow, what happens to all these Hausa, fulani, Niger Republic, cotonou, Senegal, people littered all over lagos without a single paper?
Same currency most of us are here defending we have done more than this to it, some of us have even taken note on it self ....If we don't value our own currency what more outsiders ...
What if the Naira means nothing to him🕺🧑🎤
Currency indeed, all this nonsense na we travelers and business owners Dey suffer am for abroad
Una don tell China because me I no want wahala ooo
After he finished serving his sentence.. I recommend government to put him inside flight back to China
If China hear this one, dem no go react?
Commendable but the same politicians dey share Dollar give delegates on parties primaries. Guess the prisons should be filled with politicians and their delegates on this ground.
Hahahaha
God bless the judge!
2yrs is too small nah They should count how many pieces he tore our Currency, then jail him for dat number of years
The respect for any element of Nigeria by foreigners starts somewhere. This should get across to other dealings, most especially, how they treat their employees working under them.
Lmao, currency wey dey sink fast 😂😂😂😂
In China your name na sorry
I swear Nigeria is stupid
Can you see where our Justice system chose to work properly, for one dirty naira note whereas those that are steal billions are untouchable. Please tell me the difference between stealing billions of naira and tearing a single naira note.... Misplaced Justice
Jagajaga country
Good one👍 This man is so contemptuous👎 He should pay a fine after serving his jail terms
Make them add 0 to that 2 abeg. Make e be 20 years
The way Nigeria dey over borrow money from their country, na him dey make them, not to respect our currency again.
They are all the same! Last last na naira note e go use bail out
He is not the cause of our problem.
Does the currency has value! No of course why would he be jailed! The Nigeria govt should work on her currency so it should be valued.
Some of these Chinese have no respect for Africa...man se kond😡
Wicked people. You dare not try that with their currency na kill dem go kill the person. See im head like cow own. This people are very heartless. No respect for Blackman. No respect for Africans. Na some one was deported from Kenya for calling Africans monkeys. Nonsense.
He don't know how to respect. Bcz of this naira only he come to Nigeria.
Wat audacity,he suppose reach ten years self.This is disrespect of the highest order.If our judicial system is working this man should have gotten not less than 7 or eight years imprisonment.
Just imagine a Nigerian did the same in China, it will be life imprisonment/death by hanging.
I know some people will still cello tape the money for public use... Agbero have no choice
Good, so Nigeria get power or sense like this.
I hope say them jail am for kuje make him dey cool off there
Hes should be thrown inside Lagos bridge make him eye clear sma there pple are mal-treating Nigerians over for no reason just because you're a Nigerian
Meanwhile Wike whose accountant General stole 435bn naira is still moving free
This page does not support violent 😀
Pictures of him in jail,please 🙏🏾
This Chinese man nor get level that is why our weak Nigeria court jail am
This country no well just two years they are not serious
But our Politicians are spending dollers here in Nigeria, they should be jailed too
Just two years?,I'm disappointed 🤦🏽♂️
Since we don't value our naira but dollar
Don't jail. Deport. That's all.
Make sense 💯
What is the difference between this and government officials spending foreign currency in the country 🤷🏾♀️ just a question?
U can't try such in Chinese country
Good job
Only two? If Nigerian try this nonsense for China,na concentration camp straight.
