bushdoc9919:
Thanks for the explaining....but stealing is still the same thing as corruption.

Either way....someone loses kudi!

nightrain:
how dare you say the death of those 3million are in vain?

englishmart:
stealing isn't corruption. No problem.
But corruption is stealing....

JonBee1:


Alameseigha only use his position/power/authority to steal
He's not corrupt
He's an ordinary thief
When a man sleep with another man that is corruption!

naijadeyhia:
So simply because GEJ said all this it is now meant to reprogram our minds against the obvious truth that stealing and corruption run hand in hand? I would like to ask a question and I need a very straight answer and not insults..... What is the source of stealing? Isnt it from a corrupt mind? What is stealing and what is corruption? Both are vices tied to one source which is a sinful nature... Another word for sin is corruption and one of the proceeds of corruption is stealing. There is absolutely no way you can draw a line of distinction between both. Jonathan knows he blundered and was just trying to rewrite logic to his favor but i am not buying it. Only a corrupt person can steal and proof of corruption is when you steal amongst other vices. Those of you who believe that stealing is not corruption need a reality check because its like saying lying is not sin but mere lying.

2. the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or
meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or
debased.


steal - /stēl/
verb
1. take (another person's property) without
permission or legal right and without intending to
return it.
2. move somewhere quietly or surreptitiously.

Mr. President, I believe u can now see that corruption is not 'only stealing' while stealing is corruption. Basically, stealing is a subset of corruption just like forgery, bribery etc.

VIPERVENOM:
Embezzlement, theft, fraud, bribery, extortion, blackmail, kickbacks, abuse of discretion (which gej has been doing lately), favouritism, nepotism, clientelism etc are all forms of corruption. How do you expect a man who studied zoology to know dat?

Let whoever wins take his rightful position in Aso Rock. Whatever be the case do not help to heat up the polity. This politicians we always clamour for dont have our interest at heart. When the violence start, they and their children will flee to fortification while the military men will be wasting the lives of Nigerians. Recall the Nigerian civil war, the principal actors lived to ripe age. Gowon is almost 80 and Ojukwu died at the ripe age of 78 leaving inheritance for his children but do not forget that 3 million people lost their lives on both sides. Their death was in vain as the politicians reconcilled and many are now great friends and they are still ruling us. Let us be wise, vote for your candidate and move on. We have never voted anyone that will please us for even a term, before the tenure ends we will start screaming and shouting for another. Politicians are not your messiah. We are the ones to drop our selfishness, materialism, hatred, insensitivity and wickedness towards another. Our division is greatly helping their own agenda. As long as we are divided we will always be at the loosing end. What they owe us is infrastructures, security and proper resource control. It is not theirs to help us define our heritage, an Hausa man is not better than all the other 250 tribes and vice versa. We are first human before we recognise any tribe or nation what we owe each other is love. We are not different in anyway except our mindset. It is not theirs to help us discover religion, it is supposed to be between us and our God. Religion is a personal thing, as long as it works for us. God is the judge not us or them. Please keep yourselves safe, you too can rule one day.

nightrain:
do you have a dictionary in your house? How come these Nigerians didn't consult the dictionary before attacking the president? There is a mass incomprehension of the English language in this country. Most Nigerians, graduates inclusive find it difficult to communicate in queen's English

Joy83:

So you studied "Criminology" and that's why you know all forms of corruption?
Stop being educated illiterate dude!

For those APC blow hard too dumb to check the dictionary, here it is.

Hoba007:
Ops, You are just as stupid and clueless as your president, the question you need to ask yourself what is the meaning or definition of the world 'corruption', which means 'dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery', what is the definition of 'stealing' it means; taking (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it. All these babbling and mumbling of the sadistic bastard just to safe face isn't working. There are only three types of people that would vote for the clueless one, the hypocrites, their types have being with us for centuries, God didn't speak well of the hypocrites, the Evil doers, those ones are the corrupts politicians, corrupt Nigerians, the drug dealers they know if buhari becomes the president is longer business as usual for them and lastly, the stupid ones and they constitutes 90% of the people supporting the clueless one, reason a state governor would say he knows the president has done nothing for his people but he would still vote for him. If you sat down and watched the rambling of the clueless one on Tv yesterday and you are convince about what he said about differentiating corruption from stealing, then you are part of that 90%.

phollybee:
and who said this Foolish man deserves a second Term?

Oahray:
Your sarcasm is ill-dressed to the occasion, dude. Whether or not anyone is wrongly put in a category in which he doesn't belong, the fact remains that theft and corruption are not the same, except in special moments of intersection.

naijadeyhia:



Now you posted this but failed to understand even what you posted. what is moral depravity or perversion of integrity or corrupt or dishonest proceedings? FYI stealing falls within that category...Stealing is moral depravity and is also a dishonest proceeding. The dictionary does not explain everything in totality but allows you room to cross the Ts and dot your Is.....In other words fill in the blanks. If stealing is graded as a "wrong" is corruption graded as a "right"?

Isiterere:
I was convinced by President's explanation last night and even this morning while I listened to the repeat of the media chat. A layman is more knowledgeable to ascertain "stealing" than "corruption "

"stealing " should not be glorified with "corruption"
we belief the poor steal but the rich corrupt.

Had it been that the president is a good orator, he wouldn't have been misinterpreted in the first instance.

stealing is a sub-set of corruption.
