So according to President Jonathan, politicians in his government stealing Trillions of Naira is GAY shocked shocked shocked shocked
Is Prof Osinbajo slow in simple comprehension
or what?
Jonathan was explicit in explaining himself.
He stated that he had a parley with a former CJN
on the incidence of corruption/crime.
He posited that Justice Mustapha disclosed that
over 70% of the cases under the judge's purview
were actually outright theft being branded as
corruption. He was making a case that what
people normally give the appellation of corruption
are nothing short of thievery.
Instead of branding a public official guilty of
misappropriation as corrupt, he was suggesting
that a more apt or grievous term should be
applied. Let the guilty official be addressed as the
thief that s/he is so as to serve as a deterrent to
others.
So what is difficult for this APC man to
understand?
COMMON SENSE IS NOT FOR COMMON PEOPLE.

Besides, what we have in Nigeria is beyond that gentle man definition.


As GEJ put it, in Nigeria we have thieves not corruption.


HOW does he fall your hand? You are just a big f00l, you and Jonathan understanding of issues are poor, that is why Nigeria is failing as a nation.
The meaning of corruption is not ambiguous, if you dont understand it you can not fix it.

Please check your dictionary for corruption:
dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

In power does not only mean political positions. It could mean having the power to an office, contract, house etc.

Corruption is abuse of power for personal gain.

Corruption = Abuse of power for personal gain. If you abuse your power by using your position to steal(THEFT) that is still corruption.

Ok How many of these thieves (Petroleum minister,Aviation minister,etc) has he sent to jail. Or should we say thief is not a criminal ?
I suggest you should try and lay your hands on an O'Level Government textbook.

By so doing you would understand that there are three arms of government. The executive does not usurp the powers/responsibilities of the judiciary.

It is not Jonathan's call to mandate the courts to send perceived corrupt officials to jail. We are in a democracy where the rule of law and separation of power are enshrined in the constitution.

He is trying to strengthen the institutions saddled with the constitutional responsibility of tackling graft.

It is obvious that you are numbskull. Mr.President was explaining that when he said that stealing wasn't corruption, that stealing should be treated as what it is, a clear case of theft. Corruption as you explained is clearly not stealing. Bribery isn't stealing. Stealing is taking what doesn't belong to you. Bribery is when you give someone who is in a position of authority money to gain access to something you need for example you lecturers that sleep with young girls or collect money to upgrade students grades. Please you even said you are a professor? Please safe us the embarrassment.

Wait o. But Buhari said Abacha was not corrupt and perpetually tries to defend the military(except Ibb). So, if he or the other military leaders we've had were not or are not corrupt, where did corruption come from then?

Why did he not probe his tenure as petroleum minister after he became president. Thought there were issues of corruption under under his watch( of an amount wc makes $20 billion of today a joke) ?

Why is nobody asking Buhari what he meant by "fighting Boko haram is fighting the North". He who was giving psychological support to Boko is now accusing the gov. of allowing corruption in the army and not boasting the moral of soldiers.

Why didn't Amanpour ask the questions above ?


Buhari has been using "corruption" as excuse to fulfill his selfish desires since ages. Assuming he is honest and sincere about his quest, do we think the only problem of Nigeria is corruption and once it is solved every other thing will simply fall in place? Every single question of "why" and "how" is answered with "corruption this corruption that". Nigerians shine your eyes.

While I agree that we have chronic corruption problem, I do not believe Buhari's acute method will solve it all. He's yet to tell us how he'll build an efficient system that will frustrate corruption.

Nobody, not even 20 Buhari, will kill corruption, it can only be reduced, controlled or tamed it cannot die.

Bribery is an extension of theft. Bribery is enabling someone steal. For instance if a man does not deserve a contract. He bribes a corrupt official to enable the corrupt contractor steal a contract that is not his.

Stealing is corruption. GEJ can not paint it differently. All Corrupt officials are thieves. You can not differentiate them.

osinbanjo it means that ur oga buhari is corrupt cos since 1400 B.C.E he has been dishonest telling nigerians that he wrote WAEC.


spott:
Corruption is defined as "dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery". The definition is simple and we all know what it is, yet Mr. President has spent the last several minutes of his media chat explaining to Nigerians what it is, suggesting we are all somehow confused about this.

The GEJ presidency has failed Nigerians. The facts are undeniable. ‪#‎ChangeWillCome‬

genearts:


WTF are u talking abt, the definition of corruption is simple, nobody should try and confuse us. If u steal as a public servant, its nt just stealing, it bcoms a case of betrayal of public trust to amass wealth wich is CORRUPTION. Bribes, kickbacks, outright stealing, mismanagement by public servants are all corrupt practises. The explanation that GEJ was giving is a beer parlour xplanation

When the CJN made that statement that jona is refering to, the CJN was talkin abt the mode of prosecution that it would be easier to get justice if the corrupt officers were prosecuted for outright stealing. Not that stealing is not corruption
Exactly. I wonder why GEJ is trying to complicate a simple definition. I guess common sense is not common.

Can you compare GMB Speech to that of GEJ? All you bias and blind APC e-supporters. I can hardly hear what Buhari says when ever he opens his mouth, yet you guys are going about picking on Mr president's accent. GMB is someone that could not call the full meaning of his party APC (all progressive confidence.... a dull man he is) during his interview with Aljazeera but you guys would rather down play such error and attack a sitting president's speech which is clearer than the person you are supporting. SHAME ON ALL YOU APC SUPPORTERS that would rather turn your face to the other side when you notice GMB flaws and come as a bull dog to attack GEJ; BLIND AND DULL AND BAIS AS YOUR PRESIDENTAIL ASPIRANT AND SPONSORS....

Mr man, stealing is a form of corruption just like over invoicing. Osinbajo is a lawyer just like Mustapha Akanbi.
Well, in this instance Prof Osinbajo is not exhibiting smartness and critical thinking.

The man may have made his mark in the legal profession, but his foray into politics is fast turning into a helluva huge embarrassment.

I am sure that people like him who think that politics is a cakewalk are getting disillusioned day in day out. He clearly needs to cultivate the ability to think on his feet.

Yes he sounds sensible but Gej said he was quoting Justice Musdapher who said 70% of the cases of corruption before him were mere cases of stealing and that we should call a thief a thief and not beautify it with the word corruption. Not a Gej supporter, i am for Buhari. But i call a spade a spade.

I prefer a man who makes a mistake in the name of a party but has a mind to fight corruption (Gen. Buhari). I hate a man who goes on live TV to make corruption a lesser evil to stealing and wines and dines with corruption (GEJ).

Gen. Buhari will say it any day, he does not stand by corruption. GEJ wines and dines with Alameiseigha a well known corrupt. Official.
