OK ooooo.

Do you know how many billion of $$$$$ wasting under ground, in empty houses here in Abuja and various cities?
Do you know how many billion of $$$$ that has been shipped out of this country just to be hidden?
Do you know how many billion of $$$$ that is idle in this nation?
Sum them together and imagine those theives could bring it out without fear.

Dangote worth just over $20 billion, then see all Dangote investment and imagine the number of jobs he has created and the opportunities he has given others to create wealth.

If you juxtapose it with amount stolen, you will know that we have 1000 potential Dangote which can in turn produce 1000 time Dangote's employment and 1000 times Dangote's wealth creating opportunities for others.


For me I think this is a little sacrifice we can make for better economy and development of Nigeria.

Don't get me wrong, I have a strong stance against corruption and I wish we make effective laws to curb this menance.

However I still stand my ground it is of no good to Nigeria and those thieves if the stolen money is buried somewhere in Nigeria and stashed abroad because they could not spend it freely.

I have been preaching the same thing for ages. These folks cart our money and stash it in the Luxembourgs and Switzerlands of the world and build all sorts of investment property in foreign countries. If we can close eye and forgive the theft, as painful as it will be, and give them protections while they invest in Nigeria the country would transform overnight.

I just want Buhari to cut a deal with all of them, they must return as much as possible and the remaining must be invested here are n Nigeria.
That's the best way forward. Win win situation

The recovered loots gets funnelled back into the economy and Buhari doesn't come across as someone just interested in jailing crooks whilst leaving other burning issues unattended

Besides, why would any sane/serious man waste his 4 years presidency cycle on chasing crooks when the country is on an economic brink

Gov Akpabio is a prolific public fund waster just like his sisters deziani & oduah..Last year, he settled the incumbent senator in his constituency the sum of 5 billion naira for him to step down so that he(akpabio) could be the senatorial flag bearer in that constituency. Now, he's wired 500k dollars to jagaban in the name of reconciliaton...Posterity will judge.

That does not justify condoning corruption, the stolen wealth should be repocessed and the thieves punished, that is the change we are talking about, not the status quo obtained. By your logic we should just allow this people steal and invest it in the economy, we can as well extend it to kidnappers, smugglers and armed robbers .

Do you mean it's only PDP governors that are corrupt? Don't get me wrong here, I'm an ardent crusader for good governance and incorruptible Nigeria.


But if the right probing is to be done, even our handsome and soft spoken Dr Kayode Fayemi will be brought to book. Other APC governors will not escape the rod either.


The best way to minimize corruption in Nigeria is to kill all the present leaders ( even including my father if he is involved) or incarcerate them for 100 years each.


To the topic, this news no matter the source is fake.
yes. Most of the corrupt politicians are from PDP. PDP is an evil and corrupt cult that must be wipe out from our democracy. Anyway, I don't see PDP surviving till 2019 elections. They are going to lose more states and perform worse in the 2019 elections since they no longer have federal money and protection.

You are very right. Let's not kid ourselves even GMB has said that it is kirikiri from his watch and not before. It is better for us goblet them return some and invest in Nigeria. We must must flag their names so that they will never enjoy that loot out of the shores of this country.

No need to jail anybody provided it is not murder, their is no gain if everybody run away with that money buried somewhere here or taken abroad, I just want government to force all of them to invest the money in Nigeria and make appropriate laws to protect them so they can feel safe to invest their stolen wealth without fear.
I also wish they should be ban from politics or any political activities.
No. There must be absolute and definite punishment and retribution for any wrong doing else others would follow suit in crime and curruption.

Absolute rubbish. Do you know the collateral cost of their corruption?? Do you know how many people must have died because of their many acts of stealing?? The Nigerian law recommends jail terms for various degrees of stealing and those laws should implemented to the letter. Nobody is gonna bend the rules for anybody.

How many citizens of this country are languishing in jail over the theft of some cheap phones, goats, chicken, etc. They didn't murder anybody, yet you want these guys to be let off the hook simply because they would re-invest the money into the economy? What precedence are you setting by so doing?? It would be like maintaining status quo which is the reason why the country is in such a terrible state as it is today.

Besides Mr President, I recommend nothing less than 20 years for all these crooks. angry
Its easy to jail chicken and goat thieves but billionaires is a different ball game unless its military govt. Its better to cut our losses and invest an estimated 700billio dollars (140trillion Naira or thereabouts ) than to spend 8yrs adjourning cases in court with not much to show Nigerians. We would all prefer white instead of black but sometimes you just have to suck it up go with the grey. Personally I was looking forward to all of them choking on humble pie but the world is not black and white anymore. Better the money comes home to build industrial estates and farm plantations than remain in foreign bank accounts(see how long it has taken to return 10%~5% of Abbacha loot. There are over20000 political office holder and contractors go each regime. Multiply times 8
how many you wan probe
its really sad but in politics deals must be made

He has power to prosecute via the Ministry of Justice, Police, EFCC, ICPC etc.
The INDEPENDENT judiciary has the power to jail based on the evidence AND arguments of the lawyers to the SUSPECT and the prosecutor.

That is what happens in a democracy as opposed to an OPPRESSIVE military dictatorship of arbitrary arrests, detention and arranged justice via court martial that do not respect human rights and the principle that one is INNOCENT until adjudged guilty by a COMPETENT court of law.

Is this not how they do it in all those obodo oyinbo places that we love running to as voluntary SLAVES
Why should it be different with us?

And who says he can and must jail?

We have many crime fighting and institutions to do all that and unlike the crooked , corrupt and incompetent GEJ, he ll put competent and credible people in place to do the job. He won't be hiring crooks and corrupt people under efcc investigation like GEJ.

Where are we heading as a nation when the president hires only people with questionable characters, under effcc investigation, even his own campaign spokesman is still under efcc investigation and on trial by the same government, the same government prosecuting him gave him police escort and protection at taxpayers expence. This is the government sabotaging and jundermining his own law enforcement, even the pdp chairman is still under efcc investigation for corruption.

Everything about GEJ spells corruption and incompetence.
