“A Nigerian Senator Duped Me”— Pat Utomi by Nobody: 11:05am On May 27, 2012 |
Pat Utomi, one of Nigeria’s prominent political economists and a former presidential aspirant, offered an anecdote that unwittingly supported a widely reported statement by erstwhile President Olusegun Obasanjo that Nigeria’s National Assembly is filled with rogues.[url=http://saharareporters.com/news-page/%E2%80%9C-nigerian-senator-duped-me%E2%80%9D%E2%80%94pat-utomi/]Source[/url] |

"But the most startling statement by Mr. Utomi came when he disclosed that a man who once duped him was now a senator. “A man who had 419’ed [duped] me in the past is now in the Senate. And I called the attention of a senior senator who is from the same state with the dupe, and who also knew about my dupe story with the man before, that this man is a thief and he was aware. The senior senator wanted me to keep quiet, and he said that is the problem with me, and that after all, seventy percent of government people are 419’s.” A confirmation of OBJs assertion? Shebi NASS want names abi. ok let's go there gradually.................... 2 Likes |

The only time nigeria can be called a country is when peole like Utomi are in full control.People with common sense,people that reasons,people that are resourceful,people that creates and people with soul. Nigerian government is more detrimental and more ruthless than the italian mobs.It has always been. Gangsters Paradice aka nigeria |

Some of you lot are sooooooo stup1d, it is alarming! How does just naming people aid in the fight against corruption? Anyone can name anyone. And by the way, if he names someone you support, the same you will come here and call it witch hunt or fighting perceived enemies! The biggest problem with fighting corruption in Nigeria is that most of those shouting about corruption are as corrupt as those they accuse. The only reason they are shouting is that its not their person that's in power. He that must come to equity must come with clean hands! 15 Likes |

Every1 knows that d problem of Nigeria is corruption...I thought identifying a problem is halfway d solution? D obvious challenge now is: How do we remove d breath of a system and expect it not to collapse? Corruption is obviously d breath of dis nation...even OBj bears testimony to this |

Sometimes i find it difficult put together what makes up intelligence in nigeria,especially when suppose learned people tend to turn a blind eye to the atrocities of nigerian politicians and even most times see them as achivers. We all know these guys are criminals,including obj.The salaries they award themselves alone is treasonable,talkless of the unofficial corruption that goes on in the system.I.e,bankole mago mago. |

As much as I agree that there is high rate of corruption in the system, I will not take Prof. Pat Itomi seriously. Was the dupe case ever reported and taken to court before now? There is something about 419 that people don't know. They will make you do something 'illegal' along the line. Such that, you will not be able to complain at the end of the day. Prof should let us know the senator and let's hear from both sides before we allow the blameless person to cast stones 2 Likes |

The senior senator wanted me to keep quiet, and he said that is the problem with me, and that after all, seventy percent of government people are 419’s.” This is why I have a hard time with people. If someone duped you, the law is there for you to not only use to your advantage but to use in helping make sure these corrupt individuals ever make it into positions of power. Mr Pat Utomi disappoints yet again. Why did he not go as far as to name the culprit? If this story is real, did he make sure to go to the courts with the story? if yes, tell us the person's name so we get him/her kicked out of senate with immediate effect. We have criminals in high places because people, like him, choose to PROTECT the culprits by doing nothing/not naming them. All this talk of some senator low-balling him is just fluff to us if he Pat Utomi did nothing at the end of the day. Nigerians need to understand that the law is not there for decoration. It is there as our mini-revenge tool, and is there to help us in cleaning up the country. However, the law needs our help. If we do not take advantage of it, the law, as we all know, can do little or nothing to help us. |

House of assembly does not care about your last reputation before joining the senators, all that matter is money to give to electorate to win. |

slimming: House of assembly does not care about your last reputation before joining the senators, all that matter is money to give to electorate to win. That is a lie. These people were elected by Nigerians, people like you. So if you elect the criminals, it is on your head, and not some phantom you choose to call "House of Assembly". 1 Like |

Duping is not always advance fee fraud.Just mere betrayal of trust with finacial or material consequecies is duping. And if he is not ready to go all the way when compelled to,i dont think he would have mentioned it. |
