Nigerian Female Politicians And Corruption by RedArmies12: 11:51am On May 01, 2015 |
Women that was perceived as an indispensable gender in nation building have joined their male counterpart in looting with impunity.... The first female speaker of the house of representative, Patricia Etteh was dethroned as the fourth most powerful official in government following a corruption allegation involving N628 million. The first Female minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison Madueke is not also free from corruption scandal as she was accused of withdrawing # 30.9 billion in five days from December 26 ,2007 in order to beat government 31st December deadline for returning of unspent budget allocation to government treasury when she was the minister of transportation. Till date, shes still intertwined in currupt allegations. Obasanjo Bello was also in the same canopy as she was accused of N3.5 billion contract scam which she allegedly awarded to her company when she was the commissioner of health in Ogun state. On the same gender and sector but at federal level, professor Adenike Grange, a former minister of health and 12 others were charged by EFCC on the ground of corruption following N300million unspent fund belonging to ministry of health which was shared by the accused under the instruction of the minister. Minister of aviation,Mrs Stella Oduah was not left out by the dew of corruption as she allegedly bought two budgeted BMW armored cars at an exotic price of ...... The monumental fraud that characterized the Nigeria Stock Exchange under its former head, Dr. Ndidi Okereke may never be told, except that millions of Nigerian investors lost trillions of naira under very dubious circumstances.

Nigerian women in business have also demonstrated the same uncanny ability to pilfer public funds, as the case of Mrs. Cecelia Ibru, who was convicted of stealing nearly 200 billion naira of depositors’ funds while she headed the former Oceanic Bank, proves. |

Women in power are not particularly moderate. They are either incorruptible or extremely corrupt! |

Totally agree with you,and they are still clamouring for more political positions and gender equality. I'm not a sexist but women and politics all over the world is always entrenched in corruption, with an exception of only about 2%,if not less. |
