Stealing is a fraction of corruption - corruption encompasses stealing, bribery, nepotism, hooliganism, thugery, political killing, assassination and all evils that you can think of. I don't believe we can separate one from the other.

The homo-sapian call Sunnybobo if full of hatred, even you too is not excluded.

Am partisan. You and I knows that the certificate issue was politics.

Where were you when NTA says Buhari has certificate immediately he was declared winner?
Don't tell me they ar afraid of shake-up?


You talk about illegality and corruption. Do u live in this con3? If u do, where were u wen corruption strive to d highest order under the immediate past administration? Do I need to gave u example? No!


U ar not been sincere to ur self.

Talking about going to school. Me that type this never went to school.

Do u know that Alex Graham Bell, the inventor of Telephone did not hv certificate before he invent it?

Me that didn't hv certificate, am on a practical mission. Am extracting anacardic acid from cashew.


If u like keep hating Buhari, weather u like it or not, he will adore ur TV, u will hear about him on ur radio set, u will read about him on newspaper, on blogs and hear on Nairaland.



When did NTA become a certificate awarding institution ?
You and I know that governm sent agencies always dance to the tune of the ruling administration.
They said that just to save their head from the vindictive old man , the same thing goes for the army.
Till date nobody has seen the imaginary cert.

Babaonechance is the only man I know of whose evidence of having a school cert lies solely on newspaper headlines.

Corruption is differ from stealing,you might be very corrupt without personal gain e.g adultry,while stealing simply mean taken anything that is not belong to you For your personal interest Or take another person's property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.

No no no, pleae do not twist this, what has just been uncovered are the areas of our legal system as tactically composed by the dirty military regime ,

It specifically notes that if I were to steal an item worth >1000 naira I am immediately liable to imprisonment of up to 7 years, however if I were to be employed in the public sector and I participated in fraudulent activity for personal gain for which the loss to state is not defined and therefore can be interpreted as infinite the maximum incarceration that can be prescribed by a judge is 2 years.


These are the sections of our constitution and penal code which must be corrected immediately , I think it is high time Nigerian citizens make more demands we now have a president who is determined to listen

Exactly silly people who do not understand English would keep shouting stealing is not corruption, according to our constitution yes, but you know the way Nigeria his everything is always assways.


Stealing is the element of corruption that involves coveting what is not yours. That is how the bible states it in several places.

They are only looking at it from Nigerian legal perspective which is different from other countries' and not with moral view which suppose to form the basis of our laws and orders.

This criminal code act can never and will never re-write life and character as seen and known universally. When they want to downplay offenses they concoct some legal jargon so as to protect their thieving and corrupt selves.

Now let me speak in a broader sense, Stealing only emanates from a corrupted personality and can never be separated one from the other. When you downplay corruption as a lesser offense than stealing when obviously there can be no stealing without corruption is not justifiable. This is one of the reasons why other countries make mockery of us as a nation. So a corrupt politician who deprives the people of their economic benefits and keeps it all to himself gets a minor sentence even when some of these people either die from starvation or stress or high blood pressure while a thief gets to die by hanging? Both the Criminal code and GEJ are in the same category......Clueless and Moronic

Of cause it is, they are too different things but the APC politicised what Jonathan meant.

They are very much same, your mind needs to be corrupted for you to internationally take for personal gain what is not yours - stealing , fraud

What the prosecution would have to prove in court is the intent and with that the defendant must held liable. Another aspect is having knowledge of an activity and it's consequences and deciding not to attempt to stop it or report it to correct authorities.

Code of professional ethics frowns on this concept you have put up

mad man don't prove to be right....
let me define nd compare the two variable for u....

corruption: dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people

stealing: to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal

corruption can simply be said to be a compound adjective for illegal acts...all sort of illegal and dishonest doings is embedded in corruption..

stealing is tantamount to corruption

u need no babalawo or prophet tb Joshua to tell u that....

or we can say everybody hates corruption buh practices it....for better understanding,u can perform a simple practical by going to the market and steal a cube of Maggi nd see what happens...buh pls dnt forget to go with ur jotter nd biro in one hand to record ur experience and at the same time make ambulance dey follow u for back ....

Corruption is the abuse of
bestowed power or position to acquire a
personal benefit. Corruption may include many
activities including bribery and embezzlement.
Government, or 'political', corruption occurs
when an office-holder or other governmental
employee acts in an official capacity for personal
gain.

U can keep on deluding ur self.

As I hv said earlier, I never went to school nor do I hv certificate, but I hv pass knowledge to people tru my practicals.

I believe in practical.
We hv many people wo hv certificate, yet they ar not better than those wo didn't hv.

I doubt if u ar science/science student, if u do then, u will undastad Watin am talking about. Go to laboratories be it biology, chemistry or physics, u will c people wo don't hv certificate inventing different things.


Ok, now since u ar clamoring about certificate, some of our army wo don't hv but ar in d war front battling wit Boko haram should b told to withdraw because they don't hv certificate.


The certificate of a ' thing ' is ceremonial.


Bill Gate never hv certificate wen he invent Micro soft word, same as Mark Zugaberg.

Ar u not using their products? Refuse to use it because they don't hv certificate.

TheGoodJoe:
EFCC brought Corrupt Cases to the Judge, I think Judge Mustapha. He said these are Theft Cases. Which shows, the Cases EFCC considered Corruption were also theft.

You can not commit a financial crime without Theft. That is what the Judge was saying. He did not say the cases were not corruption cases.

I repeat, Corruption = Dishonest act for Personal gain.

Answer this question, Is stealing a dishonest act for Personal gain?


all i wanted was yes or no.but i never got that.stealing ofcourse is a dishonest act.no one is agueing that.but SUN and SON might sound alike but always different thing.mr another question.A WOMAN WHO FORCE HER UNDERAGE DAUGHTER INTO PROSTITUTION.IS THAT WOMAN TO BE CALLED A THIEF OR CORRUPT?

Ezemust abi na Ezedust You seem confused. Corruption is an all encompassing word of which stealing is a derivative. Stealing is a product of corruption and can never be severed from it. I am sure you probably stole as a kid as did many and even you at that time knew it was a vice which was why you tried not to get caught. Well corruption is also a vice and it breeds Stealing, covetousness, fraud, bribery, abuse, molestation, lies and the like.

What many Pro GEJ people here do not understand is that you cannot begin to pamper what is wrong because a man said so. We owe a duty to a greater being who is God Almighty to see this whole issue through his eyes and not whatever GEJ or a criminal code postulated. If you are corrupt you are a thief and a liar and if you are a thief you are also a liar because both go hand in hand. You all need to quit trying to justify an obviously deliberate attempt by our politicians to protect their corrupt and thieving selves via what is found in the Criminal code.

They sponsored and passed the Criminal code bill and it is simply for their own selfish gain. PERIOD!

The President is so dumb by that statement of Goat (corrupt officials/pdp) and Yam (National Treasury). He's said if you don't want Goat to eat

the yam, you pack the yams away from the goat... what! How about leave the yam and the goat while you are close by holding a stick

(EFCC/ICPC), with a stern look in your face, would the goat approach the yam? Goat being a sturbon animal like every pdp criminal will

definately try to make attempt but when you hit d goat or corrupt official with the stick (EFCC/ICPC) gbam! The goat won't come near again

and other goat/pdp criminal will learn from the punishment.

We have a President that's so dull and evil. Why worrying yourself packing truck loads of yam away because of some few Goats (Fayose,

Fani-kayode, Daizine, Ngozi, Clark, Koro, Ihejirika, Maina, Moro) etc

What a silly analogy! This President is NOT in anyway inspiring
I hope this ur comment made sense to you. Why would u be so crude with ur methods. So u just stay ther and continue flogging the goat, when u can put the yam out of its reach and go do something else? A̶̲̥̅♏ just amazed hw hate can kill our rational reasoning, pls don't ever let it rule ur thinking. It doesn't make u sound smart and u knw u are smart
