50calibre: There is just one thing that can curb corruption in Nigeria as it is right now, and that is draconian laws.

When I rise to power someday, I'm going to implement set of anti corruption laws such as death penalty for theft of above 500,000 Nara and 25 years for theft below, completely re-write the constitution, giving myself absolute power, strong human right laws for the common man ( politicians would be exempted from these laws), one 10 year term for presidency, more effective and efficient judiciary that dishes out justice fast, massive reduction in politician's salaries so that politics is no longer a do or die affair, reduce the amount of foreign interest in Nigeria and lastly repeal democracy.

Who is on my team?

oily+Yoruba:
Simple disintegration will curb corruption

kingingkinging: I want to respond not because you post story was reasonable but to make known your hidden agenda for writing this article.

1.Your two examples above are too shallow to make conclusion on any issue;
2.Ezogwu's coup was not totally successful has he was unable to achieve his aim, but such action in Ghana has a positive result Jerry Rawlings killed all the corrupt leaders and you can see Ghana today, a model country in Africa. Ghana is now a reference point of an ideal African setting.
3. Gen Buhari did not plan the 1983 coup and was not part of the coup but was invited to lead having discovered his good and faithful attitude in the Nigerian Army, a condition/ trait he displayed within the short period. He has a sheet, if not clean totally, that is better than others before and after him including the most corrupt of them GEJ-fuel susbsidy, pension, immigration,NNPC, etc.
4. You cannot do image laundry for GEJ, I voted for him so you are not in a better position to preach him to us. the truth is he is not cut out to lead. He is a faithful and good follower. He should support people who can lead. We are tired of people who are not really ready for leadership but got there by circumstance. Nigeria is a complex state and she needs a leader tah is intellectually capable of such.
5. It is only a dull person that will conclude that Nigeria is not utterly corrupt even the blind can feel it, we need serious minded person that will not be afraid of the Madueke's, Oteh's, Patience's,Faruoks, Otedola's, Ngozi's.
I therefore, put to you if a Ribadu as president or Buhari would not do better in fighting corruption. Pls be frank and objective.

MAYOWAAK: …

Reference: Nothing. We are inherently a corrupt people. And since we cannot all commit suicide.... so let's enjoy the corruption party.

Re-trace ur footsteps back to ur origin, parasite!

Mr knowitall.:
Nigeria is a fail state, with fail government and very poor infrastructure....when a country has fail govern and fail infrastructure, the people have two options. (1) fight for their rights. (2) dont fight and depend on God to do miracles and solve their problems. unfortunately, Nigerians people have chose the latter. yes there are some people that are fighting for human rights but those few have zero to little voice to effect any real change.... Nigerian people are overly dependent on religion...so they are treated like slaves....'suffer on earth, but you enjoy in heave mentality' thats average Nigerian thinking..Ghana is not perfect ive lived there for a while...but they are doing a lot better then nigerians for sure.
