Femi is right. Hard to agree but he is right. How many conviction cases so far - nil. There is corruption everywhere in Nigeria not just public offices. Also, why fight corruption and then influence your children's employment. I am just so disappointed with APC at the moment after all the support.

Ozid:
This Mr Aribisala is just making mockery of himself. If at this age of his he sees nothing bad in corruption then he need to have a brain check up.

Is it unproven dat d ruling class employed their family members thro d back door in cbn? Or dat d govt has no respect 4 court order? Or dat many wit corrupt shout abt dem are romancing wit our govt n are delared saints on d ground of party affiliatn? Can't we put sentiment apart for once. I hold membership card of any party fyi.

Ghost01:
What's this one saying? What exact novel message did Aribisala pass? He ended up making no meaning, as Sagay rightly pointed out.

theshadyexpress:


Look in the mirror you are the perfect sample of the illustration you gave

VickyRichmond:
People like Prof Sagah and Oby ekweseli are the reasons why young ppl don't respect old pple anymore,how will u insult students dat way and u expect them to do differently.Sagay said that they are not hear to make students clap,so they are there to force there views down the throat of the students.Oby said the students are on another level of corruption.That means they are not worthy of having an opinion in the matter of discussion,indirectly shouting them down.Instead of coming up with superior argument they are verbally abusing the students,instead of coming up with point to counter what the other speaker said,and later you see them advocating for child right(Bring back our girls).Bunch of hypocrites.

stop deceiving yourself, even when GEJ was stiil close with the PDP natl chaairman bamanga tukur he still proceeded to try his son for corruption, even ahmadu alli's son was not spared, can he be witch hunting his friend, yar'adua did same when he fired two ministers adenike grange and gabriel aduku for corruption. buhari surely sheilds corruption, till not even one APC is under investigation by the efcc aint that just plain hypocrisy

Deen77:


My question to Mr Femi is simple, is there no corrupt people in China we're they kill for corruption?. No country is totally free from corruption, Mr Femi is a PDP member where stealing is not corruption.

Very soon people we stone them, very soon.

Did you read the write up at all? you are one of the reason why Nigeria is where it is today.

Mr. Aribisala said the current fight against corruption by the President Muhammadu Buhari government is merely a fight against the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). “We have to make up our minds if we really want to deal with the question of corruption. If we want to deal with the question of corruption, Nigerians themselves must insist on it and we have to deal with it at the institutional level,” he said. “The institutional fight against corruption that has taken place to the extent that it has, took place under PDP. The institutional structures, even the ones that the present government is relying on, are PDP structures. Whether it is EFCC, ICPC, TSA, all these came under PDP. “In ten months of Buhari’s government, there has been no institutional structure that has been laid against corruption. We have simple had media circuses accusing people of corruption. “You cannot fight corruption with corruption. And corruption is more than just the stealing of money. If you disobey the rule of law, you have corrupted the system. If you create an avenue where you have a big margin between the official foreign exchange rate and the parallel market rate, there’s gonna be corruption. If you have children of the rich getting into the CBN on nepotistic grounds, the corruption is still with you. “If you have a budget that is padded left right and centre, and after this was revealed you passed it and say only a small amount changed in it, and we do not know what is in the new budget, you can’t say you are against corruption. There is no transparency in any of these things.” Mr. Aribisala further stated that the current anti-corruption effort lacks a clear focus. “Because the last 16 years was not just PDP government,” he said. “The legacy parties of the APC were also in power. In fact when the PDP was ostensibly dealing with corruption, it addressed people in its own party. We are not having that now. “And that’s why I can’t trust Falana’s prescription that we are going to establish special courts. I don’t trust this government to establish those courts. They will simply establish courts to decimate the opposition. “People like Orubebe will be arrested, and they will file cases against him and several months later they will drop the charges against him. And they will have pronounced him guilty in the newspapers on charges that will later on be dropped. That is not a fight against corruption.”

freeze001:
A classical representation of the playground bully who is usually a coward inside but puts on a false front of bravado because of his bigger size or in this case, the Dutch courage drawn from the elixir being in power. Rather than 'fight' with someone their size, they pick on 'easier prey'.

Ezekwesili and Sagay are just a tad bereft of ideas and comments with which to put down Femi's strong points and that is why they practically left the subject of discourse and started harassing students who clapped after listening to a speaker.

Femi was clear that there can be no acclaimed fight against corruption when the premise on which they rode into power was already corrupt. Glaring cases of nepotism, deliberate disregard of the rule of law and seeming concentration on people drawn from a particular group either due to their tribes or political affiliation are enough to rubbish the so called corruption fight. Students saw reason with both the content and form of his argument and showed their agreement in the most civil way possible, ie clapping.

Rather than address points raised and counter them or raise a more superior argument, they left Femi and attacked the students. I mean what is this?!



Or this?



Sagay, an erudite professor of law (as he then was), chose to attack the person of Femi and even draw Trump into the matter in referring to his idea of appreciation of unserious people. Tomorrow now if Donald Trump becomes POTUS, he will be one of those to wax poetic about how wonderful Trump is. So shameful!
