The president of the federal republic of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on the controversial statement which was accrued to him that " stealing is not corruption" stated today 11 Feb. 2015 during the presidential media chat that he never said that stealing is not corruption but was quoting Al Mustapha who after studying all the cases of corruption discovered that about 80% of such cases were all stealing and thus stated that stealing is not corruption.
He (president) was not the originator of that statement but was only quoting Al Mustapha who was the originator of the qoute.
He also said that a thief should be called a thief and be treated as a thief not to use the corruption to paint it and confuse the masses. Also he stated that EFCC tackles financial crime (mismanagement), ICPC tackles corrupt practices and the NPF deals with stealing so calling stealing corruption is leaving everything to ICPC to deal with.

This is what am talking about, Mr president pls educate some educated illiterate.

he shud beta shut up....now dat his words are nao against him...#lies al around

He said everyone is thief. So therefore he is confirming that he is a thief but not corrupt. Biko na wetin be d difference.

But u said how much did jimi N stole dat warrant GMB putting him behind bars, d money dat can't even buy a peageout.

He didn't say it oo... na Mustapha talk am... Buh wait a minute no person wey talk say king don die..... u knw d rest

He's confused

What nonsense is this man saying. Bribery or fraud is part of corruption. So when you fraudulently amass peoples money for your private use is that not corruption. Clueless and crafty man.

He also said that a thief should be called a thief and be treated as a thief not to use the corruption to paint it and confuse the masses. Also he stated that EFCC tackles financial crime (mismanagement), ICPC tackles corrupt practices and the NPF deals with stealing so calling stealing corruption is leaving everything to ICPC to deal with.

Excellent! Can any smart alec here argue that this clarification does not make sense?

You guys are good in twisting words.

can't believe u find his statements logical...and to crown it all, telling him to educate others.....lmao, don't be clueless as Gej

Sir, u said ordinary stealing they will call corruption

Mehn..this fellow is more mixed up than a feather in a whirlwind.

Just to put the record straight he was quoting justice Dahiru Musdapha former CJN and not Al mustapha, please.

May this matter die a natural death!

$5.1m isn't enough to buy Peugeot as at that time the more he tried to defend himself, the more he shows how clueless of a person he is.

Nigerians are not paying the head of state for classes on semantics.

Splitting hairs on definition of terms is not what the president was elected for. He was elected to protect the interests of Nigerians, interests he holds in trust by virtue of his position.

Instead of ACTING and putting wrongdoers in jail, Nigerians are being given sermons by the Goodluck Jonathan administration . In what way does this academic debate (on the difference between stealing and corruption) advance the public interest? Are both of them not crimes against the Republic - crimes for which a responsible government should diligently prosecute offenders and seek convictions?

In a few weeks we will see if Nigerians have learned their lessons about misgovernance. Not long now...

You said it.

LIAR

It won't die bro cos we are replaying d video where he actually said that stealing isn't corruption. Even in this hogwash media chat the clueless one still repeated it!

So one justice Mustapha said it and he too regurgitated it like a primary school kid.

What a PhD holder.

Why were the moderators apologising before asking questions? What a weird interview.
