Please answer using only the letters (a to n). This is part of a survey I'm conducting. So do answer as truthfully as possible. The word 'steal' means using your position to undue advantage in acquiring the funds, even without direct looting of the treasury. Thanks for your participation. a)$0.00 b)$1000 - $100,000 c)$100,000 - $1 million d)$1 - $5 million e) $5 - $10 million f) $10 - $50 million g)$50 - $100 million h)$100 - $300 million i)$300 - $500 million j)$500 million - $1 billion k)$1 bilion - $3billion l)$3 billion - $5 billion m)$5 billion - $10 billion n)$10 - $20 billion+++ Also, if your category or range is not listed above, do not hesitate to inform me so we can include it on the list. Thanks again. |

There is no stealing in Nigeria - period. That might sound so silly unless you are familiar with what I consider one of the most fundamental theological expositions in history written by the Apostle Paul. In Romans 5:12-14 the apostle Paul states: “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law..." A corollary to the logic of Apostle Paul is that if we write stealing into the law then there will be no stealing. I have made this argument in the past that most of the corruption in Nigeria are within the law - by the book, to put it another way. Thus, if you remove all the corruption done in contravention of Nigerian law you would have solved only 1% of the corruption problem in Nigeria. Everyone in government in Nigeria would steal by default - unless they personally work to return all the undue proceeds the law affords them. Bottom-line is fundamental changes to our way of life is needed. ROSSIKE: Please answer using only the letters (a to l). |

The amount I'll steal is not in your options? |
Re: If You Were President, How Much Would You Steal? by Nobody: 10:57pm On Jan 06, 2013 |
I don't undestand why folks cannot answer a simple survey. Simply pick your chosen letter. Instead guys are posting long essays here. |

Stealing isn't really an intelligent option for a leader. I would rather use my position as President to award Contracts to Companies i have stakes in (What's d point being. President and not flexing your muscles a bit). Execution of these contracts must be enforced though.....Its like paying myself to fix my Country.....and I'll own Oil Blocks. Why steal?? And we keep screaming that our leaders steal. That makes us hypocrites, right |

So after all the lying, I'm going to say how much is reasonable to 'steal' (other governments have ways of acquiring lots of money without 'stealing' so the word is subjective). $200 million is enough, that should be the maximum, among every politician there shouldn't be more than $3 billion stollen. After this every major project should left alone and be allowed to survive. Nobody said the government should share national cake, but when you're amassing $4 billion dollars, and everyone else just destroys projects then it's something else. so h. |

must you steal if you become the president of Nigeria? |
Re: If You Were President, How Much Would You Steal? by MajeOfficial: 4:32am On Jan 07, 2013 |
Here's what I don't understand about the Nigerian mentality. If you become rich to earn status, access, resources and impress people as all people do. As an achievement and you become the PRESIDENT of your NATION have you not already achieved the status, access, resources, and lefted the biggest impression you possible could in your life? What does it matter if you drive a nice car? YOU'VE BEEN PRESIDENT! you have done the biggest thing someone from your country can ever do other than being the president of earth, which is a non existent title. What will it matter if your have a bigger house than your neighbor? what is left to buy with money once you've achieved such status? Everyone you encounter is going to assume you're richer and more powerful than them anyways? Why do you need 2 houses in Maryland? Who are you trying to impress, you've already been a WORLD LEADER? Obama is not a rich man in comparison to the elite in America, but nobody in the country has achieved what he has and he thus has nobody to impress. He's not going to have to buy a nice car or a nice watch for someone to know he's somebody important, he's the PRESIDENT of that person's country Nelson Mandela will never need to drive a Bentley for someone to know he matters or that he's important, he's been the president of his nation, that's the most important and powerful title he can ever achieve in his life. This is why i don't understand many corrupt people in Nigeria. I can see them having to steal to remain politically powerful, but having top flaunt wealth to show you're important when you've already won the title of "most important man" in your country makes no sense. I honestly wouldn't steal anything. At that point i have nobody to impress so what will i be stealing for? It's only a primitive person that would think there is still something to steal once you've become the president of a nation, because that title gives you more than what money can achieve. 2 Likes |

If anything the world leaders that are the most respected Obama Desmond Tutu Mandela Dhali Llama Kofi Annan Angela Merkel David Cameroon etc. are not known for wealth. but the ones known for wealth Obasanjo Bongo Mubarak the Saudi royal family Ghaddafi Mubarak are look at as thieves no matter what else they achieve, and if they're in a room with Obama or Nelson Mandela, they would have to bow. Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe are more respected internationally than Babangida. Only a village thinker that wants to play big man to his cousins and uncles would consider compiling currency as a means of earning true respect. The minute Danjuma leaves his village he's a thief and is treated as so internationally. 2 Likes |

enough for me and my 2 to 4 mistresses to rest comfortably on at night. just a joke, like Nollywood Actor Chief Pete Edochie said, "I don't steal." |
Re: If You Were President, How Much Would You Steal? by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 12:33pm On Jan 07, 2013 |
@ROSSIKE, your baseline figures are too small and not representative of what one would steal as a President. $12.4bn oil windfall: Court verdict on IBB http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/12-4bn-oil-windfall-court-verdict-on-ibb/ $16 Billion Power Probe: IBB’s Call For OBJ’s Arrest Timely http://247ureports.com/16-billion-power-probe-ibb%E2%80%99s-call-for-obj%E2%80%99s-arrest-timely/ The above are just the ones that managed to leak into public knowledge. So you may want to review the base line say from $30 billion (Nigeria has very comfortable Loan Partners so do not worry) If I were President, I would borrow at least $200 billion into my pocket and share foreign reserves with Governors, will spend only 1 term and disappear.. let the Governors finish up |
