Sunnybobo3: But the man you are going back in time to defend used these words in reverse of severity. Defending that man is harder than pushing a truck from Lagos to Borno. Listen to what he said.. Ordinary stealing Nigerians refer to as corruption. If according to your books stealing is weightier and he referred to it as ordinary, no wonder big thieves were given presidential handshakes in his government. NEVER AGAIN NIGERIA! 4 Likes 1 Share |

The fact that many do not understand why the statement "stealing is not corruption" in the context used by GEJ is wrong and sooooo dumb, is the biggest tragedy of it all. 1 Like |

you abuse the power or seat you are occupying when you use your position to embezzle money entrusted to you. Abuse of power is definitely corruption. i think the word embezzle or misappropriation is more appropriate when talking about politics. |

Corruption is a moral act and not legal Corruption is allowed to happen because we haven't decided on what to use to do two things: decide what is good (things that improve the environment and the species or provide additional resources above what are consumed), and then ensure that everyone is working toward the good by being useful to other people. Corruption is a form of exploitation, where some person or persons use more than their fair share of resources to extract usefulness from others or from the future environment. Debt is one of these corrupt tools in some ways, because it is a promise (usually coerced or deceptive) to consume resources in the future in order to obtain gain in the present. When a nation creates debt, it is promising to increase the rate of consumption of citizens in order to pay back that debt somehow (usually not in ways that are clearly available or stated). The reason corruption isn't illegal is simply because our future selves and our weaker selves don't have the same rights as present selves or powerful groups (bullies, tricksters, etc). I don't mean to emphasize monetary means. Any behavior that exploits other people is using power to corrupt a social situation, and instead of monetary cost, it is a cost to social stability, which is a resource important to modeling some kind of civil future. Dishonesty, coercion, and aggrandizement are all consumptive behaviors. Legal restrictions do not seek the opposite, merely to limit them. "The opposite of consumption is not frugality",it is generosity. The opposite of Dishonesty is honesty, not less dishonesty. The opposite of coercion is not less coercion, but cooperation. The antithesis of corruption is humble, honest cooperation. We need to work on that more 1 Like |

Gej's PHD isn't for nothing yet very highly educated Nigerians were deceived by propagandists in APC. The man obviously knew what he was doing only that Nigerians' impatience and bad media team failed him. Well, change is here whether good or bad change, Nigerians have to deal with it.

Don't mind all dis APC members and supporters. They knew all along that stealing is NEVER the same thing as corruption. Even the law of Nigeria recognizes this. They just twisted every statement GEJ made, just to make him look bad. Stealing is BLACK, while Corruption is GREY. Stealing involves taking what belongs to the public (usually money) for your own private use. While corruption involves using you own money or influence to affect an outcome you don't deserve or to escape punishment by the law. In the case of corruption, you spend your own money, but in the case of stealing, you take Nigeria's public money. Our main problem in Nigeria is not corruption, but STEALING and Embezzlement of public funds. Fifa is corrupt, but football still goes smoothly. We can tolerate corrupt people, but we can't tolerate thieves. So let's end this once and for all, Stealing and Corruption are both bad, but Stealing is a lot worse than corruption. Stealing is NOT the same thing as corruption, it is simply a lot dealier than Corruption can ever be. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Stop all this APC talk and face the point. There is nothing like Grey or Black. GEJ sighted a judge who said all the CORRUPTION CASES brought to him where all theft. Let me say it again. All the Corruption cases were all theft. Answer one question. Is Embezzlement Corruption or Stealing. Choose one. forexexpert: 2 Likes |

Sunnybobo3:Are they all bad things? Is the President right in the circumstances of Nigeria's corruption to try and make corruption seem a lesser offence? No? ole, onyi ohi and barawo have different levels, the Criminal Code says public officers are also thieves and it is corruption. Punishment in Special Cases (4) If the offence is committed in any of the following circumstances- (a) if the thing is stolen from the person of another; (b) if the thing is stolen in a dwelling-house, and its value exceeds ten naira, or the offender at or immediately before or after the time of stealing uses or threatens to use violence to any person in the dwelling-house; (c) if the thing is stolen from any kind of vessel or vehicle or place of deposit used for the conveyance or custody of goods in transit from one place to another; (d) if the thing is stolen is attached to or forms part of a railway; (e) if the thing is stolen from a vessel which is in distress or wrecked or stranded; (f) if the thing is stolen from a public office in which it is deposited or kept; (g) if the offender, in order to commit the offence, opens any locked room, box, or other receptacle, by means of a key or other instrument; the offender is liable to imprisonment for seven years. (5) If the offender is a person employed in the public service and the thing stolen is the property of the State, or came into the possession of the offender by virtue of his employment, he is liable to imprisonment for seven years. (6) If the offender is a clerk or servant, and the thing stolen is the property of his employer, or came into the possession of the offender on account of his employer, he is liable to imprisonment for seven years. (7) If the offender is a director or officer of a corporation or company, and the thing stolen is the property of the corporation or company, he is liable to imprisonment for seven years. ( If the thing stolen is any of the following things- (a) property which has been received by the offender with a power of attorney for the disposition thereof; (b) property which has been entrusted to the offender either alone or jointly with any other person for him to retain in safe custody or to apply, pay or deliver for any purpose or to any person the same or any part thereof or any proceeds thereof; (c) property which has been received by the offender either alone or jointly with any other person for or on account of any other person; the offender is liable to imprisonment for seven years.
