During President Buhari's political campaigns in 2015, he talked about fighting corruption, he really emphasised on fighting corruption! Now elections have come and gone and he is doing what he said he was going to do. Why are people angry and against this fight against corruption?

First, I'll use the family scenario to describe. Imagine a boy who is 16 years old (16 years of democracy) who has not been taught anything by his parents, no good morals and behaviour, discipline and self control suddenly finds himself staying with a disciplined uncle who wakes him up by 6am to prepare to go school, he comes back to attend to some house chores and doesn't eat as he likes as against a boy the mother will beg to get up by 7:30am and prepare for school and he always goes to school late and when he is back he goes out with firneds to play games all day without doing any house chore at home. I mean a boy who hasnt sweep the house in 16 years. Imagine how that boy will hate that uncle who is trying to reform him. Out of ignorance, the boy will despise him.

Secondly, imagine someone who got his or her job through nepotism 16 years ago, this fellow was used to collecting bribes before he or she does his official duty. Is either you pay or oga, leave am nah. For 16 years, he was used to illegal funds everyday from the office which helped him or her buy a car, build a house in choice cities, open a business and suddenly a new boss comes in and there's no bribery, he or she is forcedmto attend to people speedily, all staff report to work early by 8am for the first time in 16 years. as against 10am to close by 2pm. Do you think such a boss will be loved? No! But who is doing the right thing? The boss


Thirdly, imagine a country where things were done wrongly for 16 years and all of a sudden, someone wants to correct the ills of the society. Do you think the people will accept it easily? The answer is No, hence the hatred on the President.

I have always said it that most Nigerians lack discipline and self control. We lack good morals and sincerity. Most Nigerians do not know what it means to tell the truth and stand by it and this cuts across all regions and religions.

The opposition President Buhari is getting is that for 16 years of democracy most Nigerians have lived a corrupt life and have benefitted immensely from corruption and they had thought that Nigeria will forever be like this but sadly things are changing and because things are changing these group of individuals because they are highly placed have taken to the media space to preach hate to the equally corrupt less privileged who do not know what's actually going on and the effect of corruption on them. Because of this, there is a transferred aggression of their situation on the President whom the corrupt highly placed individuals are thriving on for their support.

Whoever is corrupt or was corrupt should be made to face the law devoid of tribal, ethinic, regional or religious sentiments. Corruption is killing us all. Imagine the list AMCON released of loans that companies owe. That is enough to cripple the economy and to even imagine that these monies were borrowed a decade ago gives credibility to my analysis.


Nigeria we need a new moral compass, the churches and mosques have failed to give the societal a moral compass, oh how sad! Today a greater percentage wenr to church and now the Muslims are havingntheir fast, will it translate to the moicu needed new moral compass we seek in this country? That will be a discussion for another thread.

Now imagine yourself as a father with no ordinary GCE. Despite your poor conditions, you're able to send your son abroad to get a PhD and come back to raise your standard. But you wouldn't let him perform at all, let alone try, because you're confused and lack understanding of your son's international approach to development and progress. The Constitution is there which gives relevant and adequate immunity to all ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES during their tenure in office. Why should Devil(Eartum) get into one against the other to prevent the other from performing?

Let Saraki and Ekeweremadu face the music for forgery, you have nothing to gain, you are not even related to either to them.

Your position is just pure hatred for the President. Carry on hating.
