Your post means you are part of the highlighted because 419ers are not the only corrupt Nigerians, the whole of your civil service from Aso Rock to your ministries, government agencies from NPF to customs, NPA to police force, judiciary, house of reps, senators, governors and state civil service and agencies and the list goes on and on are all corrupt....

OK, what is the population of Nigerian Policemen who are corrupt? or are all of them corrupt?, our Federal civil service members who are corrupt, the corrupt senators etc. Are they more than 170,000 or even 200,000 people?
It is yeye ediots like you who go around propagating falsehood about Nigeria. Nigeria has good and corrupt citizens,and so has Britain,America,Russia,Germany,South Africa,Ghana etc. There is no special DNA in Nigerians that make everyone of them bad. Some are bad and some are good.Some Nigerians were even potential Popes! So stop the senseless hype!

Rubbish stupid talk.

She should have just stuck with the talk of "we have challenges and we are working hard to strengthen our institutions to tackle the menace". Simple!!!

But she belongs to a fraudulent and deceitful regime so what do you expect.

Typo error. Mean to say 0.1 remaining of the 99.9 as stated by NOI but do we have exact figure of our corrupt politicians since most of them have not been prosecuted or have succeeded in stalling such at the law courts? They could be more or less aside businessmen/women, private citizens e.t.c in or outside govt parastatals and other sectors of the economy too.

The truth of the matter is that majority if not all our politicians are corrupt!

What's this Ibo woman trying to achieve with this rubbish?

Image laundering or what? Nigerian leaders will not stop making me laugh. They keep ridicling themselves everyday.

How would you tell a lie that you know even a baby of 3 years will disagree with?

Who in the world doesnt know Nigerians especially their leaders and their evil minds?

Hope Okonjo's long list of honest Nigerians include GEJ, Okupe, Rueben Abati, Bode George, Alams, Anineh, OBJ, the pension looters, subsidy fruadsters, etc.

Nonesense...

Thank you. Education in Nigeria is currently teaching them to exploit and scam others while taking every opportunity, like a shyster lawyer, to exploit any 'grey area' to create elements of doubt and deliver 'open interpretation' deadlock over what is ordinarily simple and incontrovertible. This is how these criminal-minded elements disgrace Nigeria before they engage their brain to note that they have just revealed the dishonesty that guides their thoughts. When they call us scammers and fraudsters we will be up in arms yet look at how Nigerians talk fraudulently in cyberspace and in ways that suggest we are very intellectually dishonest and manipulative.

One charlatan has already declared that NOI is asserting that 0.1% or 170,000.00 are corrupt. Conveniently and fraudulently, he touts this to equate the politicians in Nigeria. Yet how many employees does the NPF alone have? Customs and immigration nko? How are all the bombs, guns and foreign terrorists entering Nigeria easily if not for the corruption in those two government agencies? Do we dare talk about NPA, NNPC, the civil service, a Judiciary named one of the most corrupt in the entire world etc, etc , etc? My brother, we are in deep poo in so far as Nigeria is such a troubled land yet it is the citizens of the nation who keep saying "we dey kampe" when they should ordinarily be desperate for change, reform and progress. Why should any sane Nigerian back Okonjo-Iweala over this ridiculous and disgracefully dishonest utterance?

When a man is unfortunately his own greatest enemy his problems are hardly solved. We are farther down the poo hole.

i will not say 99.9 %.. I will says it depend on ethnic group.. some ethnic group are honest.


With the hausa/fulani 65% this is why they bomb people.. and kill themself because money means nothing to them.

igbo 30% every igbo is a run man.. igbo people are the smartest and cleverness in nigeria. they will outsmart even God.

middle belt 60%

ijaw 40% they use too but with militia.. they are no more honest.

kanuri 70%

With the yorubas.. 70% that why the igbo scam them alot.. Yoruba tend to be stupiid and not too clever like the igbos. because of the culture.

are pastor punishing this people too. how many time do you see white people do this. it is just the culture of yorubas.. that they bring into Christianity.

You are either deceiving yourself like Okonjo or you dont know anything about Nigerians. Apart from the rogues ruling us and criminals in police/army uniform, most of the people out there on the streets of Nigeria are professional liars, cheaters, and bribe takers. Is it the Agberos, the kidnappers in SE, militants in the north and south South, the ibos that sell fake items as genuine and also cheat buyers, or the contractors that use fake materials instead of the original they collected money for, the mechanic that cheats his customer, the employee/factory workers that steal, the pastors that fly around in private jets while their ignorant followers are hungry, or the employers that underpay their staff that are honest?

In your own way, you can check how honest Nigerians are - start a small business and put Nigerians in charge of it. Within 3 months, you will see how honest Nigerians can be.

I just completed a project and can tell you what I went through dealing with Nigerians as either workers, supervisor, people you buy things from, etc. Everybody wants to cheat you. Nigerians dont belief they can survive without cheating - ibo's case is pathetic - it is a way of life for them not to be honest.

We are in deep shit and in urgent need of strong leadership that can change the trend.

Virtually all our vital institutions are paralysed by corruption and you are inanely talking about 0.1%. Do you know the official population of the NPF alone? Do you appreciate that our judiciary is ranked one of the most corrupt in the world? Is it politicians who man the NPF, Customs, judiciary, NNPC et al?

Get real dude. Our institutions are hideous havens of corruption to the extent the word "corrupt" would blush with shame if it were human. Stop myopically making issues about politicians and yourself alone. If you want to pretend that only politicians are corrupt then that means you never step outside your house to interact with the rest of Nigeria or that you are talking about a Nation on Mars that shares the same name with us.

She was in a hot seat,defending lies,while the CNN lady was overwhelmed with unfounded excuses.

In all sincerity,she happens to be the best nigeria can offer among politicians right now and she's been sulked into the blackhole of mental retardation that plagues nigerian society.

Even Jesus will join the crew in Nigeria where dishonesty is legitimate

Why should Okonjo-Iweala not ''exaggerate'' by stating that 99.9% of Nigerians are honest, hardworking people? The world has spent the latter half of the last century claiming the exact opposite in an unholy, conspiratorial o.rgy of smears against the people of this great nation. You can only drive out a nail with another nail. Well done Madam Minister.

I agree 99.9% with you, except for yoruba.Personally, i have never met an honest yoruba person.
Their honesty is only when they say 'gud mornin' and you have to look outside the window to confirm it is really morning because they are pathological liars.
Yoruba percentage of honest people shouldn't be more than 0.001%. Okonjo Iweala was being very modest. She should have said the bitter truth that 99.9 percent yoruba nigerians are very very shady and most dishonest people ever created by satan.They teach them how to lie as their nasty language is being taught to them as kids grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

This is ignorance and flattery put together. She should engage artisans to read their countenance and due attitudes to organised private sector(OPS) workers and public servants.

And that reminds me when in 1999 one Njoku from WORLD Bank pride to know the way poverty ravages Nigeria(ns) in an NGO process. She got it wrong, I stood up to tell her. And it is that way they at the Wold Bank are still getting everything about Nig. wrong.....

SO DAT THE MINISTER in Nig.--one WHO HAS NO INDICATOR ABOUT SOCIAL INDISCIPLINE in NIGERIA and the very way it is affecting the finance, banking & capital market....
