Speaking while making his contributing to the debate on the 2017 budget during the senate plenary on Wednesday, a senator from Ondo state, Omoyele Omogunwa, called for the legalisation of corruption in the country.

The lawmaker who spoke at the u‎pper legislative chamber, lamented that corruption was pervasive in the country, argued that it should be “legalised”.

The senator said there was corruption in the judiciary, and even within the anti-corruption ‎agencies, adding that if corruption was legalised, Nigerians who stole public funds would use them in building factories and industries in the country, instead of having them stashed away abroad.

He added that the performance of the 2016 budget should be examined first before that of 2017 is determined.

The official Twitter handle of the Senate also confirmed Omogunwa’s suggestion, writing: “Senator Omogunwa notes that Budgets doesn’t have maximal impact due to corruption. He says corruption shld be legalized/liberalized then.”

They need to get his brain checked. If corruption is to be legalised, then what's the noise about Magu?

I think this makes a lot of sense. Since that's what majority of us prefer and no one wants to change his dubious ways.

chai... only in Nigeria my country, my country..

O yes! If Babachir is said to be a saint; then Corruption should be made legal.

This is one of the proponents of "Bring back our corruption" and look set to get a heroic statue from some of our.....uhmm, you know what i mean.

It makes no danm sense. The CBN governor can as well loot the entire foreign reserve and start an industry with the loot, right? If we legalise corruption today, only the elites who are in public office will benefit. They will loot your future and that of your children today. In the next few years, the country will be so broke that there will be nothing left again to steal.

Fighting corruption is never going to be easy but we have no alternative than to continue battling the scourge. That Buhari failed a major test in the fight against corruption by clearing Babachir Lawal doesn't mean we should then legalise corruption. Nigerians must realise that the war on corruption is one that must be won in the long run.

Matter don enter reverse gear, thatz sarcastic.

seunmsg:

It makes no damn sense.

Smh. If this statement was made by an Igbo man, the brown roof fockers would have the descended on igbos in this thread, like a venue of vultures.
But since it's one of their own, the story changes.

Eh yah

Ur kidding right Op

now i can say I HAVE SEEN IT ALL
.
now we can all see that CHANGE BEGINS WITH ME was a total waste of time and money spent on publicity
and national orientation programs.

the WOLVES IN SHEEPS CLOTHING have become tired of wearing the sheep clothing and they are voicing out their main intentions.

This is madness. Just look at this

Nigeria is truly dead .RIP

Same way I feel bombs should be legalized too

Naija which way .. This country can't move forward with this kinda leaders....

You saying every leader should start looting, tell me daft senator, what is gonna remain ... We should now resort to begging you to invest your loots after you might have kept enough to feed your next 100 generations.

I want to believe you were just being sarcastic jare, except something serious happened to your brain ...

It seems we have more mad men in government than those roaming on the streets

I don't even know what to say.
