Seems the rulling PDP is really awake from its 16yrs slumber. They're using every tactic to bring down the recent uncontrollable soaring general buhari's popularity. Lol... 5 Likes |

To me "Stealing is not corruption" and Buhari gave us proof. Abacha never stole-Buhari It means that he obviously know that Abacha is corrupt but never stole. From the above assertion, I can categorically tel you that "Stealing is not Corruption" #Fact!!! 7 Likes 1 Share |

Why is stealing is not corruption refusing to declare his assets? What is he hiding if he is not corrupt? Let them all declare so we can judge. Truth is bitter just as the difference between them is quite clear. GMB loved by the Upright Hated by the Corrupt. 2 Likes

Ezyp:some of u that shear this sentiment are the true enemies of Nigeria. Do u go to that place to learn, fail and repeat class or, u go there prepared for the challenges? The seat of president of any nation is not a testing ground or where u go and learn how to handle situation. It is a position for serious business. It is not a position to display cluelessness and corruption. If u fail you dont repeat class, u get booted out of the class. |

In the real sense of the word "some" forms of stealing can qualify as corruption. Some cant. E.g. A public officer diverting public funds to private accounts qualify as both stealing and corruption A public officer using his office to ease the process of getting his relative employed qualifies as corruption but that's not necessarily stealing But an armed robber waiting for vehicles with guns and robbing people is pure stealing but that is not corruption. The essence of the word corrupt or corruption assumes some level of responsibility and dignity that is being tarnished or adulterated due to some malpractices. Nobody looks up to a thief with some dignity or expect them to operate on a higher moral pedestal that is why it is out of place to describe a thief with the word corrupt. Hence those who try to distinguish between the word stealing and corruption are not in anyway trivialising corruption. If anything they are emphasizing the enormity of what is going on in public offices in Nigeria when they try to draw a distinction between stealing and corruption. They are arguing that the seriousness of siphoning public funds into private accounts gets downplayed with the word corruption when in truth what is happening is outright stealing. In 2006 Nuhu Ribadu made a similar argument about Sani Yerima of Zamfara State while accusing Governors of Corruption. In the case of Zamfara he emphasized that what is going on there is outright stealing without the involvement of any 3rd parties because in his words Sani Yerima was simply diverting State funds directly from State Accounts to private accounts. He is not even disguising it by setting up contactors with fronts like you currently have in Lagos where Tinubu's proxy companies do all sorts of work for the Lagos State Government and inflating cost without being subject to competition. So eventhough in terms of technicalities of English language "Stealing is not corruption" may be wrong. I understand the sentiments behind the argument. There is some truth in it. What goes on in public offices in Nigeria is stealing but in most developed countries you have corruption in public offices! 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Acidosis:you expected a Gambari man to say otherwise about his Gambari brother? No chance my brother. My sympathy goes to the Southern bastards that are hell bent on bringing him into power to finish what they couldn't do before democracy removed power from the military which they have always used to their own selfish interests. Southern bastards, vote him in and see the ugly policies that would enslave you in your own house. 4 Likes |
