Nigerians are very intelligent people. Very skilled young men. The level of technology that goes on in the East if properly harnessed will usher Nigeria into a global industrial force.

Let's assume the North brings agriculture to the table, the West, financial services and enterprises, and the East, industry, manufacturing, and technology. Imagine what a country Nigeria would be. I give up on our leaders.

I'm not understanding the work of efcc again , I'm sure all these people wey dey sell akara by roadside will soon be paraded by efcc, only suya man go safe because them be aboki

Nobody is safe from EFCC oo, people said end sars, buhari smiled and gave them EFCC 2.0 beta version


..

Is this EFCC's job? What is the job of the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), then?

We have to be careful in this useless country, lest we create hydra-headed monsters as institutions. That's why fools like SARS (Special anti ROBBERY squad) are now gleefully dedicating their entire manpower to scavenge for INTERNET FRAUDSTERS. Very soon, FRSC would start searching people's pockets and luggage, looking for codeine and tramadol.
It is ridiculous how badly run this country is.

Very useless country where institutions are dead and everything is upside down.

Financial crimes indeed..This is just Dstv consolidating their monopoly of the digital television space in Nigeria.. Ctl and even metro has been broadcasting for years..

when has this become the job of EFCC? Very soon Efcc go arrest person for not paying rent

EFCC NO LONGER HAVE JOB..

Dear patriotic Nigerians,

Please pray for EFCC

They’re so sick,that they can’t even go a single day without arresting fellow Nigerians

When there is no job, guys are improvising

EFCC has been unleashed on the populace.. Obasanjos EFCC was hitting politicians but Buhari's EFCC na street people dem dey hammer.. anyways, una voted for change.. las las una go hear am for body

Very dumb comment truly.
That is Nairaland for you.

From most of the comments I have read so far, it's obvious Nigerians don't really hate corruption, they only hate not profiting from it.
Some suspected crooks have been caught, who have infringed on the right and intellectual property of registered company(ies), and the best some youths can do is to castigate EFCC for doing the right thing.
How sincere are we in the fight against corruption?
