Buhari Is not an IPOB man that will deceive himself

In IPOB land they protect their sons that smuggle hard drugs, they don't acknowledge their problems, they actually encouraged crime and corruption

Buhari is not IPOB so he won't lie

Buhari is not a politician but a social crusader, the earlier the wailers understand this, the better for them.

Nigeria is corrupt Yes.Even a toddler knows that
..
But its wrong for the PM to publicly say dis.
Most countries wud demand an apology..

The Brits have always looked down on Nigeria forgetting they are our colonial masters.
We run to the US and other country 4 Aid and support while dey turn a blind eye.




We need to look Inwards to our problems. We are still in the same mess since 1966

Show me where the white man has come to move money out of Nigeria.

We capital flight money ourselves and we still blame the receiver. Hmmmm

We blame Oyinbo man yet if you go to war torn area it's the white man providing care to them while our own people prefer to buy the latest bag in town or the new model of a car that is a perishable asset

Bill Gates brings his money in free to cure Malaria and we still steal the money meant fir good courses and u think the White man us at fault.

This Dr Making noise Freeze keeps getting it wrong, bn on the Panama list does not automatically Make you corrupt , he needs to understand off shoring is nit an offence its evasion if the tax due that is wrong

"still don’t understand why this fellow’s comments are given so much publicity. Quite often his public utterances demonstrate why we should all exercise restraint before weighing in on issues that we do not understand properly. Publishing ignorance confidently or in annoyance does not make it any less inaccurate.
To compare industrial scale theft of public funds in Nigeria to the legal use of offshore tax havens is unwise. Cameron’s dad did nothing illegal or corrupt in moving some of his assets abroad. David Cameron himself has gone so far as to publish his tax returns that demonstrate that he paid taxes on capital gains from monies that were outside the UK in accordance with the rules – there is absolutely no evidence, as of today, that he or his dad broke any laws. People need to stop conflating tax avoidance (which may be unethical but is perfectly legal) and tax evasion (which is a crime).
I know we don’t like being called out by outsiders, but the sad truth is that our country is indeed EXTREMELY CORRUPT and we know it too. Denying it or choosing to be offended when it is pointed out doesn’t change that reality.
In my opinion, a more carefully thought out retort to the PM’s comments would remind him and his people that while they choose to look down their noses at us, staggering sums of money stolen from our country and many others is coursing through their economy and helping it to be what it is today – you should not condemn a thief in one breath, benefit from the proceeds of his crime without protest in the next and still hope to be taken seriously."

We have issues let's face it

We are own worst enemy #still blaming the White man ever since

It is wrong for the British PM to publicly call Nigeria a corrupt country..
YES WE NO NIGERIA IS CORRUPT...

DTS how Buhari said Nigerian youths abroad are fraudsters.dat means he is d leader of fraudsters..
Hence the leader of corruption for accepting Nigeria is corrupt publicly.
Dats how u shud luk at it..
Nobody is perfect, I understand that. But I don't see any reason why the truth should hurt some people so much. All my life, I know things have been bad in Nigeria. Until we come to the realization of the fact that things will not get better soon if we keep up with the whole attitude, we won't grow. Calling Nigeria corrupt does not apply to everyone except those who really know they are corrupt. Now, those who loot public funds and stash them overseas now know someone will be watching them at all times.
Nigeria is not corrupt, but HQ for all corrupt practices. Someone just called ur bluff doesn't make that person ur enemy. The truth at one time or the other must be said by either the so called 'saints' or the corrupt devils.

If last administration say this statement, the will say they are destroying country image....

It gets to a time when in order to grow, we must stop deceiving ourselves. Look at the untold hardship this militants have brought upon us with the destruction of national assets. If the refineries were working, we would be able to argue that how can they sell fuel that they refine here for 145 naira.

Nigeria is not only fantastically corrupt, there is a lot of hate and tribalism for their fellow citizen.

This is the best time for a new breed of honest politicians (not Apc or Pdp) to spring up.

I de tell you

Yes, Nigeria is fantastically corrupt and it is not Cameron's original statement. It is Buhari's original statement. And it is very correct. Tell me that you do not feel so about schools organizing for their children to cheat through WAEC, or lecturers demanding sex for points from female students, of parents buying admission and grades in universities, or cash payment for employment. What do you feel when you watch that policeman receive money from the hackney cab driver in front of you and shoves it quickly into his pocket, waving you to pass because you are a witness? In which facet of national life today do we not see fantastic corruption? How many criminals are honorable men in chambers of our legislature?

Some of the cases that on going probes have turned up are bizarre, and make us laugh a cry - don't you feel like throwing up when you see that men who ought to have offered counsel to President Good luck Jonathan to buy weapons for the war on Boko Haram turned round instead to collect and share money meant for purchase of arms? And even as we talk, foreign donors have audited donations of $3.8m dollars meant to fight HIV and related radical infections like TB and have come with the damning conclusion that Nigerians stole the money corruptly?
Our justice system keeps high profile corruption suspects out of prison by technicalities purchased with cash, and the poor go to prison for a stolen bowl of soup, where they meet suspects who serve terms awaiting trial - or are unable to meet bail conditions?
No, say it loud. Nigeria IS fantastically corrupt. We only need to admit it and change. It needs not be so.

Removing fuel subsidy have its pros and cons, It's just that the masses feels the pain the most.
I already knew before this current administration that the 5k per month wasn't possible. Still I hoped and I'm still hoping this president do better than the previous one.
Every president no matter how good or bad do care about the plight of their citizens.

Nigeria is corrupt we all know but sometimes somethings are better left unsaid..buhari should apply some diplomacy in answering questions abroad otherwise those foreign medias will be ridding on his intelligence,, there is no country that is corruption free but you can never see their presidents admitting it publicly..it is more of doing more harm than good,even from his facial expression one would deduce he is not always ready for the questions and will just answer anything without thinking to free himself from the interviewer

waiting for Afghanistan president to succumb to Cameroon statement n admit his own country is corrupt then Cameroon will justify himself by calling them clueless

truth be told buharis statements abroad from 5%, Nigeria is broke,etc are always controversial n its high time his media aids started doing something about it if at all he will listen

A man who claim he borrowed 30 million naira to buy his presidential candidate form but his wife donated 120 million worth of drugs to displaced persons and his children all lives in the U.K
Here is a man whose wife wears a 3 million wristwatch

Here is a man who didn't declare his assets.

Here is a man who is friends with Tinubu and Obasanjo who are the most corrupt people on earth.

Enjoy your president



You don't just say things cos you don't like a person. He declared his assets but it was GEJ who refused to do so. GEJ wife was even more extravagant.
