But he said it depends on how one defines it. Just like so may other concepts, corruption has no one generally accepted definition.

timidot:
He cant define it cos he will stoning himself if he does

victorels:
Amechi do not know how to answer questions. He seem very shallow in understanding or probably, tension took hold of him owing to charges against him.

He can't separate ans expression from a question. He was asked to define corruption after an expression "prostitution is worst that corruption". He went ahead to talk trash.

He said that most of people are unemployable. That was a very unreasonable comment for him to make. When talking about education, the reference "unemployable" should not come up. Their is a difference between graduate and non graduates and uneducated. Their is also difference between skilled and non skilled. Any body making comment about unemployability of Nigerian youths should be specific on what category they are referring to.

If You are a HR personnel and Amechi was your guest, I believe your response at the end of the interview would be, "we would get back to you"

mikolo80:
with your English and reasoning
you self are unemployable
Abi you fit employ 'graduate ' when no fit speak English op write letter. see the way you're beating about the bush yet condemning another man.
he has reason to beat about the bush
what's yours

victorels:


I am on Nairaland. is that not enough qualification for employability?

If you have issues with my opinion, creat a topic to counter it. Your insult depict how lame you are.

mikolo80:
i did not insult you.
just shows how unemployable you are
you claim to be a graduate yet cannot read comprehend or write in the english language
unfortunately most white collar jobs is conducted in said language
please put nairaland on your cv as a skill and come and tell us if you got the job

victorels:

Why do you care to reply an unemployable person. It seem like you just want to be engaged. You are welcomed.

mikolo80:

why do you comment in public forum
is it not to be engaged
but most importantly i am highlighting a problem so maybe you can find a solution
but you obviously believe that "graduating" from a substandard educational system is enough to help you survive in today's world
news flash,most nigerian graduates are unemployable because Nigeria does not NEED graduates
she needs farmers,finance experts,managers(not entitled idiots)
would you hire a butcher when you need eye surgery
shebi all na knife

victorels:


Thank you for mentioning that. Have you advertised for an eye surgeon and failed to get one?

Have you advertised for accountant, managers or researchers and failed to get one?

That people are applying for jobs that they do not possess the paper qualification does not imply unemployability.

They therefore possess no right to call the unemployed unemployable. It is a mark of pride.

mikolo80:
Trash

fistonati:
After amaechi made dt speech, my prof said ds is a disgrace to Nigeria. Dt why not just define corruption as it is. Anyway dt shows wat to expect from d so called change mantra.

In another word, na pidgin amaechi sabi. Dem for ask im in pidgin

Omotolu:
This is not a JAMB QUESTION nor is Amaechi defending his PhD Thesis. Corruption entails numerous concepts as he said. The most important thing is that stealing is now an act and element of corrupt.

tuniski:
Amaechi couldn't define corruption but, attacks a president who did by legal reference. Anyway, stealing is not corruption both in lexicon and before the law! The propaganda of electioneering aside let things be in proper perspective.

Omotolu:
...as Amaechi noted, corruption is so complex to define. He cited 2 or 3 instances of an act of corruption. Even folks with PhD, find it difficult to define corruption (I'm not referring to Jonathan). I will define corruption as an act of gross indiscipline. Hence stealing falls into that corrupt act.

victorels:

One of the Minister nominee from Plateau State who also doubles as a legal practitioner clearly stated that corruption can only be defined by the law and not morals. If a politician sleep with a lady that is not his wife, the politician lack morals. It is not in the constitution that a politician should not sleep with another woman other than his wife.

The only time it becomes corruption is if it becomes rape or any other sexual abuse that is captured in the law. His example is too loosed to be regarded as a definition of corruption.

Stealing is corruption though. The law is against stealing.

Omotolu:
...we are on the same page. I said corruption is an ACT OF GROSS INDISCIPLINE Punishable by Law.

tuniski:
u tried but, between your individual definition and a legal distinction which will u take? Stealing is not corruption in our laws! It was a convenient blackmail by the media and opposition to take beer parlour statement as official/legal position. Only in such places is stealing same as corruption.

victorels:

Fixed.

If a gross indiscipline is not captured in the law, it is not corruption according to constitution.

Omotolu:
...every act of gross indiscipline should be subject to punishment.

victorels:

it is the law that stipulates punishments. If the law has nothing to say about selling snakes in the name of fish, the only thing that would be done is just to caution the offender.

We should demand the law makers to define what is corruption and what is not. They are the custodian of the constitution of Nigeria. They owe us this at this time, else, people would religious morals to define it. Some states are doing it already in the name of sharia laws.

drshrewd:


you are way too obstinate to relate with discourse of this proportion. this is not primary school kinda questions that you expect definitions. its rather more of an expository kind of answers that should be expected just as the former governor did.
for me Amaechi remains one of the best performers in the screening so far. he brought so much levity and liveliness to the whole process. his confidence was top notch. he dictated the tone and was summarily in charge of his own screening.
