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. And the actions of the woman
that fired her – Ms Arunma Oteh – makes one wonder what
the agitation for more female representation in government
is really about.
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.
