Good thinking FG, we expect more good news in respect to the recovery of the looted funds by GEJ's yam eaters. |

dongeorgio: The reasons given by the FG is tenable and sensible. What do u need the names of the people who returned the money for? I believe the FG has set its priority right,instead of going in for vendetta,the FG has decided to rather pursue the money rather than people. Good move 1 Like |

This is the catch 22 situation, the quaqmire Nigeria is locked in, the shackles of corruption from which we CANNOT break free from. Buhari is President today because of corruption, the corrupt paved the way so he cannot possibly act or react, i.e bite the proverbial fingers that fed him. Without that he cannot clean the stable thoroughly and this imbalance torpedoes the whole system leading the government to 'bargain' instead of imposing the law without fear or favour. Do that and the whole government falls. The second problem is obvious. When you go hard on officials in Africa, instead of a better outcome you only make matters worse. They hide the misdeeds deeper as is happening now, scheming becomes more sophisticated and undetectable and at the far end of the scale the government becomes intransigent, unwilling to relinquish power and influencing the electoral process to cover its tracks. Let us see what will happen in 2019. What is clear, history is not kind to Nigeria in this respect concerning the entire polity, this type of government and this president, not because of his personality or the circumstances but the society which we have built for ourselves. 1 Like |

Nicur: Please, try and understand the issues here. You're getting it twisted. Some of those people returning money did embezzle the money directly. I'm sure some of your family members or friends must have been generous to you b4, if it now turns out they made their money from illegal ways and the law asked you to return whatever you've collected from them. Would you want to be put in the same category as the real thief. It's rather too early to start mentioning names. Let's wait and see first 2 Likes |

With more than 3trn naira "interim forfeiture" reported in this interim report and the over 1trn recovered by the TSA, it's safe to say the country needs to to borrow to fund this year's budget, it also implies the FG now has the financial capability to implement 90% of the budget, & Lai no longer needs to yearn about Nigeria being broke. Figures is useless to the average citizen, we judge based on what would be put on ground in the coming months. 1 Like |

"Secondly, many of those who returned the money are not necessarily guilty. For instance, if my party gave me money to go and campaign in an election, how am I to know that that money was from an illicit source?" If FFK and the likes have good lawyers, this might be a punchline against FG... Or have I been seeing too much of Nollywood? 1 Like |

"What we want is the money, not the names" If that is true then let's all call a spade a spade and stop pretending that this Government is fighting corruption. They are simply on a fund raising expedition. This ridiculous method does nothing to stem corruption. How do you not prosecute thieves? How can you agree to terms where the thieves return some of the money they stole in secret and then let them quietly walk away unscathed? If you aren't yourself corrupt and culpable. How do we even know that the figures disclosed aren't the residual amounts left to appease the crowd after redistributing the loot? They talk about shielding "guiltless" people from whom ill-gotten funds were recovered, Isn't this just laughable? If it is established that the funds were ill-gotten then that person is guilty and should not be protected by any well-meaning Government. And in cases where, like he mentions, a newspaper is paid for a service it has rendered with money that is not honestly obtained by the patron, the Newspaper is NOT liable in any way and should not be made to return such money. That amounts to intimidation, harassment and robbery. The thief who stole the money and spent the money should simply be arrested and prosecuted. You can't be chasing down vendors of clothes, luxury items and services a thief buys with stolen cash and ask them to return the money. What is that? Disregard for the rule of law. And while they are working hard to shield the "small fish" in order to win their co-operation because the country dearly needs money, the culprits who allegedly have even bigger amounts to "contribute" to our collection box have already been called by name. Given that the money is what is needed so urgently, couldn't the "Privacy+Pardon = A fraction of the loot" formula have been applied to them as well. We are still waiting for GEJ and Madueke to make their donations - here are the ones that have been indicted in the media for over a year now without proof. And they say they want to avoid defamation suits? And Dokpesi too, was such a " guiltless" media man as Lai Mohammed describes who did nothing wrong but render a service which was paid for with stolen money. Did he enjoy the anonymity that is being extended to others? This selective shielding can not be excused. It can be explained by a number of conspiracy theories but, definitely, not excused. This Government is bleeding its integrity into the gutters. 2 Likes |

So, from all the above ' good ' reasons, what are the criteria for selecting those ' looters ' whose names should be made public ( some are already being accused publicly) , and those that shouldn't. Because it is now obvious that there are many other Olisa Metus who are being shielded from being embarrassed. Metu's family has even agreed to refund all money he was accused of collecting but the presidency has not heard about that plea. How is his own case different? Why not tell Nigerians categorically that this arrangement is for the members of the ruling party and their supporters. 3 Likes |

The only reason why they will not release any names is because they know they are going to be guilty of the same thing tomorrow so they have to give a soft landing to the thieves so that the same can be done to them in future.
