Most of d crimes being handled by d efcc/icpc ar crimes committed by d people dat wer involved in d pdp govt of d last administration,n we al knw our justice system is very slow.I'm sure al those indicted wl be persecuted,it's just a matter of time.true we cannot say d present administration don't av very corrupt ppl but,I thing it should be handled one @ a time.n care must be taken so as not to put Nigeria in a very bad shap.perhaps,d past govt had every opportunity to deal wit d corrupt once in d apc,wat stoped him.is mr aribisala sayin dat we shold let d criminals go just bcus we don't want to witch hunt 'em?hw can an elderly man be against somethin like dis?is he sayin bcus Efcc n icpc wer formed by pdp,it cannot be used by apc.wat happens to Continuity?personally,I think we'r on a d right part,al we need is to subtract n add not to completely Condemn d process.so many revelations,so many Enlightenment,d people ar more aware now.is dat not something?wat's wrong wit men like aribisala?

We need improvements.he speaks as if he is Shielding corruption,n like a card caryin member of pdp.he's an elder,he should knw better

Guys like FEMI are just pained with the person of PMB, that's all, we never heard all his noise during GEJ's reign despite the humongous corruption going on.

Ghost01:
Saraki is no longer a member of the APC, ko? The hypocrisy of you guys stinks. At present, most of the attention is still on Defence, especially the arms deal. And that's why majority of those on trial are those who were in the last government or close to it. The money for security was used to prosecute the election in favour of Jonathan, and that explains why most of those presently on EFCC's radar are members of the opposition and its affiliates. How many time will the incumbent government come out to explain itself on this before it enters into your cerebral cortex? The files on the NNPC, last we were told, were still being compiled. This time around, it is systematic anti-corruption crusade. Blame the Buhari government for falling very short of boosting the economy, but it is doing okay in the fight against corruption.

There is a reason why it is said that half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies. You see, deception is a major hallmark of manipulation/witchcraft and that is what half-truths are all about.

Imagine a man to be burning up due to heat and d known cure is some cool, clear water. That man can see d water from afar, some in a position to help are playing with it or letting it go to waste but he sees that a few determined steps will get him to that water and he can start to heal. He's beginning to make progress and he's emboldened because he can see d water!

Suddenly someone along with a large number of those who carted away or wasted ds water come together, berate those who control n let d water run then shut it off; they go ahead and inundate d man with tales of how others have wasted d water, it's no longer there and they're going to get it to him rather than have him move. At the end, they come with a jar filled with clear liquid to the man, he's so overjoyed that his sufferings are over only to gulp down and have his throat seared by raw acid! Yet they preach that the other players, including some that were there too have exhausted it and insist they have supplied water n not acid despite seeing d man rolling in more agony than he'd ever been. When they need a drink though they can still turn it on strictly for cronies.

Which would he prefer? Getting to d water that was freely flowing or having a jar full of deception handed to him?

That is Nigeria now...wallowing under deception and more pain than ever. Yet they keep preaching change...
It is better not to fight corruption at all than do so selectively. Selective corruption war is corruption itself and it opens that which u claim to seek to preserve to even more deadly foxes who have the art of deception down to a tee.

OneManLegion:


Your analogy is defective.

Buhari's government IS recovering loots.

They are witch-hunting. Emphasis on witch.

so anybody that speaks against how the Corruption war has been going, is a PDP member?

Recovering loot that Nigerians are not allowed to be privy to huh? Where is the $200 billion that is supposed to be on its way from Dubai?

Please, it's better not to start what one cannot finish. GMB would have fared better creating/strengthening our institutional n legal framework first to forestall further losses. Though income has reduced, we are not totally without income. It would have been better to set the machinery rolling for forward development so that Nigerians are not left in worse situations than they were before him.

While focusing on the critical sectors, he would have succeeded in lulling looters into a false sense of security and then, when the legal fishing net is better fixed and with diligent investigation conducted and incontrovertible evidence of crime gathered, d security agencies van swing into action knowing that the holes in the net have been reduced and d net itself stronger.
It will then catch n hold criminals easily while development is still felt in other sectors.

At the end, corruption is really exposed n dealt with and the people can truly appreciate the change. As it has now, it all looks like a Houdini act n a game of smoke n mirrors.

What about the corrupt in APC, are they now saint? Corruption should not be regional, emotional and political. All the structure used in fighting corruption today were the work of the PDP govt...

Today, Ameachi is not corrupt while Wike is... Is that a serious war aganist corruption? As I speak, numerous charges brought aganist Sambo Dasuki has been finally brought to four, while even the four charges lacks evidence to nail him, yet he has not be freed. What about the Nnamdi Kanu and the Ekiti state lawmakers who are abused using military men everyday, is that not corruption?

If in a crate of 12 eggs like four are bad and out of the four one of it is very big and you like big eggs so much would you remove the three small egg that are bad and leave the big bad egg which can ruin the remaining eggs or you remove everything. I guess you would do the former not the later you really an educated zombie

Jesona:


Oga, if after all you read that post and you could not spot the points, Femi raised there, then, there is really a serious problem, perhaps you need help.
The points he raised, are they realities on ground or not? Your answer will address what you called trash!

theshadyexpress:


thank God you did not deny that jonathan prosecuted his friends and as for supporting buhari, well i dont relate with obvious failures

Quote: A chick that will grow into a cock will start showing signs from day one

buhari is just a big failure-in-progress

ayindejimmy:


What your Mr Femi failed to comprehend is that the war on corruption has to start from somewhere.
And his speech gave his sentiments for PDP away.
I am really ashamed of our youths if they actually applauded such a lopsided premeditated defence of PDP.

I don't actually care who's being prosecuted as long as the person is guilty.
We must start from somewhere

Thank God feminine aribisala don't hold any important position in our country. He is d most corrupted person ever to live in the history of nigeria. It is bcus he is corrupted in everything, in speech,attitude, behavior in every aspect of life. The man must be a kind of Satan family

kutchs:

Up till today you haven't been able to prove any of those humongous corruption charges against GEJ and you still make noise.

It isn't enough to claim and allege that a person stole #1billion, prove your case beyond reasonable doubt and not resort to media trial to damage the image of the person..

Buhari and Sagay are shameless corrupt hypocrites. They worship the most corrupt elephant in the room called Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu - http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/tinubus-massive-looting-of-lagos-uncovered/

ndcide:


No one has any problems if you want to keep deceiving yourself. Yes corruption fight must start somewhere but must be seen to be wholistic. If you want to brand your corruption fight as a fight against the opposition party, you've failed absolutely. In fact it shouldn't remotely be seen that way. Not everyone wants to see pdp with the label of corruption that APC want to force on it, giving that they are almost the same. when we all also know that corruption actually oils the engine of APC and corruption proceeds also got them to power. Corruption must not have a different definition with APC and PDP, we must not yield to the manipulation of vanquishing other political parties with the toga of corruption, whilst the ruling party entrench their own brand of corruption. That's not going to happen. So who will now challenge APC? We welcomed the entrance of APC as an alternative we are not going to kill other alternatives even if this government keeps giving us figures of stolen money, yet no one is telling us how much was stolen and misappropriated in Lagos and other states.

On sentiments, we all know the sentiments of every speaker in that forum, is it the Sagay that fiercely attacked the person who said we should question the the way osun state government, ran the state. Giving that the State couldn't have gone this low, if something wasn't wrong within the state. Was it a different sagay? Forget sentiments, we must not be narrow minded with this issue of corruption, or you think buhari cannot misappropriate funds? I laugh

You should bother about yourself rather than deflecting shame to other youths.

OneManLegion:


I daresay you've read one crime novel too many.

The recovered loots will be kept somewhere safe and the paper-work will be tendered as exhibits in court during prosecution.

What is this you're saying about fixing the critical institutions while lulling the looters into a state of false security? Lol. That will simply give the looters time to clear the paper trails and wipe their mouth clean. By the time you're ready to face the looters, there'd be no documentation of their unabashed theft and they'll be the same people mouthing off on how you've failed to prosecute anyone.

Just in case you didn't know, he IS focusing on critical sectors AND fighting corruption. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

He's being slow because he's trying to be meticulous.

I may doubt his methods but I don't doubt his sincerity.

The problem still remains the selective nature of this corruption fight. It ought to cut across board otherwise it remains open to ridicule! It is obvious that it is skewed towards enemies and highly partisan. At the end that remains Femi's points that cannot be disproved. Nepotism is at an all time high....crazy ish.

Sincerity...I cannot vouch for because he remains subject to the foibles of human nature.
