The problem with the criminal code is that its laws are discriminatory. It makes one law for the rich and another law for the poor. The legal disparity between corruption and stealing is only enforcing such social discrimination.

Stealing only affects the poor as only a poor person would steal items from N10 and above (up till the value of a car), but corruption can only affect the rich and powerful ( stealing or embezzling billions of Naira or even dollars).

Stealing of N1,000 can attract a 7 year sentence and embezzling $1billion attracts a maximum 2 year sentence (with the option of a fine and a plea bargain)

A person accused of stealing can be arrested without an arrest warrant but arrest warrants are mandatory for persons accused of corruption.

Having said the above corruption with reference to public finance (as against moral corruption or even social corruption) is institutionized stealing.

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.


U that hv 1, what hv u invented ?


Here is where you missed it , there is a difference between someone who claims he has a cert when he doesn't e.g Babaonechance and another who doesn't have and didn't lie about it. While the latter is okay the former is pure fraud and should be condemned.

In some countries I know, if you steal/mismanage funds in your care because of the office you hold, you get more punishment than an outsider. If you'r a public office holder, your sentence is twice.
