While I believe so much in fighting corruption to a stand still, but the Nigerian economy has equally suffered so much in the past few months. The forex has soared, a litter of kerosene now sold at almost #300, many state could not pay workers salary, while the cash flow is dragingly freezing out, yet corruption fight subsist.

Now between endless fight for corruption and economic revival, which do we urgently need in this country?

Reviving the economy (whatever that means: Crude Oil price rise, borrowing or diversifying the economy, which will take years) without fighting corruption, can be likened to fetching water with a basket.
Exercise in futility.

Reviving the economy is the wisest option to take because when you have strong economy , you can create strong system or institutions to curb or stop corruption . Then you can fight past corruption without affecting the innocent citizens with failing economy . If you fight corruption that take years and money on a failing economy , the innocent citizens will suffer, you are also losing money too.

It's corruption that put the economy in coma in the first place.
When the economy was thriving people never benefited; no first class medical for citizens, no good roads etc.
Fix corruption and the economy will revive automatically.
While we are at it: make strong laws, like, 75 years to life imprisonment for public office holder who steal or divert public fund.
Death penalty for economic saboteur and treasonable felons.

sorry dude you can't have a strong economy were corruption is the order of the day. Don't mistake the Jonathan years as a period of strong economy, we were just awash with a lot of cash which was as usual frittered away. If we had a truly strong economy we won't start getting foreign loans to pay staff salary bearly 2 months after oil prices crashed

You are married with a family that is going hungry . Somebody stole some of your family wealth. What would you do? Go after people with your family wealth (will take years of litigation, fighting etc) or look for ways to provide for your family's immediate need while plan on how to recover stolen family wealth.

I have seen people wretched while going to court for family land, wealth, property etc. It's time consuming, distracting etc. I've seen people let go, struggle harder and make the best out hardship.

I believe buhari and his government may end up wretched if they continue the way they are currently carrying along.

You really need the sorry for believe every stories formulated by APC government of blame game system of government , that typical of a confirmed zombie that allowed them to used his or her functional senses . For the past on year the little money they claimed Jonathan left what tangible thing they have done to elevate the sufferings of the zombies that voted for them ? Will the spirit of zombie allow you to believe that innocent citizens are suffering now than those APC judge via media trial ? What makes a country great are wise and favourable policies made to elevate the sufferings of it citizens not the amount of money the country has? Pls ask them when will government of blame stop to give room to good policies ?

Both. Reviving the economy and fighting corruption

Lol sometimes I wonder why our politicians have so bashed the brains of Nigeria youths....

Revive the economy without minimising corruption is just a waste of energy and time

I think you have answered the question yourself. Now let me ask you, who amongst them is not corrupt? How was Buhari's election funded? Did the money fall from heaven? What is the justification for giving oil block in Bayelsa to a man in Borno State? Infact what's the justification for even giving common wealth (oil block) to an individual? Are all these not corruption

So they are all corrupt. They have all stolen. They are still stealing. Now I leave you with the link below. Enjoy it

Corruption war is non tested in the anal of Nigeria, but is currently being tested by a very ethnically bias PMB whose government is made of almost 90 percent of his people who are corrupt. Therefore PMB is corrupt according to 1999 Nigeria’s constitution which seek for the employment of "federal character" in giving an appointment, in this wise economy revitalization is key because the present government lack the well without to fight corruption.

May God revive the thinking faculties of Nigerian youths; most of us are bankrupt in logical reasoning. The ability to think has been destroyed by the tribal and religion sentiments.
How can somebody expect or ever think of economy development where corruption is celebrated? There is inverse relationship between corruption and economic growth and development.
There is no country in the world that experience economic growth with these level of our corruption. Until we kill and bury corruption, economic growth will forever remain a dream while the rate of unemployment and level of poverty will continue to grow.

Corruption! !! What do you call corruption when Buhari was sponsored with River State allocation?, a man who keeps stolen stocks, is a thief as well. Tell me you don't know the biggest looters of our treasury, why are they walking freely since Buhari is fighting corruption.

This is one of the reason to believe that some of our youths are bankrupt in thinking. Where did I mention anything about Buhari? The question is, can there be economic development where there is corruption? The answer to this question should be a matter of YES or NO. If Buhari is all what is in your mind, you have the liberty to deny him your vote in the next election.

Like a popular saying goes, it's better to let a criminal go unpunished than to let an innocent man suffer. The wisest thing in this scenario is to guide against further occurrence while the innocent & downtrodden continue to enjoy their hard-earned meagre resources.

Is There any country of the world that has completely stamped out corruption ? Are you aware that the so called western nations also have some level of corruption? The difference between theirs and ours is that their leaders try to conceal it so as not deter investors.

And talking about corruption, nepotism as is currently being practiced by the Nigerian president, is the worst form of corruption. Embezzlement of public funds isn't all that describes corruption, it's only a subset. And please don't be deceived that looting of public funds has stopped in this regime. Rather, it's gone scientific and the senile Dullard.in.ho is too dull to detect such evil innovations.

What nonsense economy can u relieve when cash is flowing like water in few hands.

With the money stolen in GEJ's government. They can decide the price of dollars 2moro morning.

An economy with billions of Naira and dollars carried around will not survive if not for strong Nigerians.
