On Wednesday September 30, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua smiled and beamed as he launched the polymer currency notes for the country. But far away in Australia, crack detectives were reviewing case files in Canberra, making sense of which, and how many, Nigerian officials shared about 750 million Naira in bribe money from the Australian polymer company, Securency, to secure the contract to supply the polymer notes to the Nigerian government.

there always have to be something

No project in Nigeria can go without some kickbacks.
Tell me something new

Na today?

Government contract, bribery, corruption, payoffs, so what else is new?

I was certain something like this would happen, So what happens next?

THATS THE NORMALITY IN nIGERIAN LEADERS BLOOD, BRIBE

na wah oh

Nigeria we hail thee!

tell us something we don't know

e don tey. . .

Well,na normal thing for Naija, shiooooooooooooooo

na today. .huh
no be him start em na our inheritant from the formal leaders

This is not a new thing every contract in Government is smeared with over inflation of contract and bribery.

I am amazed at the reactions of people to this sordid event. The fact that bribery and graft has persisted among public officers even before Independence does not warrant the nonchalance of Nigerians or justifies the act of corruption. In Australia where this scandal originated, the Police are investigating the various people concerned and one official of the currency company has already thrown in the towel. These are the things to trigger our thinking on how to fight the monster called corruption. Has it ever occurred to any of you that citizens play a vital role in this fight? Don't just sit there and make very unintelligent contribution to a grave problem.

Na their time , make them enjoy.

@ Bugi , now that you've known was ur next line of action ? (CORRUPTION FIGHTER)

Its not new in naija. Nothing goes for nothing. Ba kyau wahlai.

@Rooneyboy, you are still a boy! Your comment "Na their time , make them enjoy," to say the least is disgusting. Enjoy what? Our commonwealth? In God's name dissociate yourself from thieves and where to start this fight is from your goodself, and that is to purge you of your ignorance.

Well said Bugi. Unfortunately not many Nigerians share your views.

no b new thing na`

Lord have Mercy

Pls tell something New

Bbeee:

no b new thing na`

You should originate this thread for the Australian people, not for Nigerians.

Bribery and corruption is the bane of government worldwide, go to Iraq and see what bribe is offered to companies to get reconstruction deals to American companies.

Fu ck you Poster - nothing is new.

What do u expect.Can any contract be awarded in nigeria without KICK BACKS? At d end no1 Will be prosecuted.Ask about Harliburton case,Aondoakaa has nothing tell us.Yeye person

And so if it is the common thing is the world and Nigeria, it should be allowed to continue?

Nigeria actually has no hope if the youths have this kind of view. Anyway how do I blame people who cannot pass exams without bullet and runs.

It is pathetic.

Who awarded the contract? Soludo? I guess, he has a some questions to answer.

the man receiving the lashes is not the same as the one counting. oya start the war on corruption and we shall follow in your footsteps. can you swear you neva received a bribe this week that just passed.

That's what this country Nigeria knows to fraud, at anything chance they get!

Anytime you are a victim or know of a victim of armed robbery, kidnapping, death by generator fumes, accident due to pothole riddled road/no street light etc just think about those who received these bribes and so deprived us of infrastuctures that could have been built. Also think of your ex-classmates who will be jobless for ever as factories close in 9ja for Ghana where there is less corruption and public utilities work.
meanwhile Soludo dey talk sey im wan make Anambra into Dubai and the suckers believe him.

sorry i don't think i'll be joining the bandwagon, cuz nothing can be done or achieved without a bribe. everything remains on standstill until you bribe. i for one will never stop bribing until i get what i want without having to bribe for it.
