Buhari supporters will not be able to comprehend that, cos the supportee himself is an illitrate.

Are these two words 'Sleeping' and 'Verb' the same in meaning? Yet, we can say 'Sleeping is a VERB'

SO, STEALING IS CORRUPTION and only corrupt GEJ and his corruption-inclined followers will say 'Stealing is not corruption'. VOTE GMB come March.

That is what the law says. The law differentiates between stealing and corruption. That is why if you go to court you would see some people being accused of stealing only and some for stealing and corruption. If they are the same thing then no one would be accused of stealing and corruption rather for stealing or corruption.

Some Nigerians are getting more moronic by the day in their farcical attempt to correct GEJ' s mistep. You haters of Nigeria and lovers of your pocket, remember that karma Will get to you and your children one day. God that created Nigerians that you have oppressed so much all these years through stealing of the nations resources, NEPA funds, hospital funds will surely avenge his people and prove to you that stealing is corruption.
