HISTORY OF CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA.

(2) 1966 Major Gen. Aguyi Ironsi- no public funds stolen.
(3) 1996-1975: Gen. Yakubu Gowon- little stealing of public funds began gradually.
(4) 1975-1976: Gen. Murtala Muhammad- zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline.
(5) 1976-1979: Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo- Military egg heads started owning huge property, oil blocs running into millions of dollars.
(6) 1979-1983: Alhaji Shehu Shagari- looting galore by ministers party functionaries and other government big wigs.
(7) 1984-1985: Major Gen. muhammadu Buhari- zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline. Some corrupt politicians bagged 200yrs jail terms.
(cool 1985-1993: Gen Ibrahim Babangida- freed all jailed politicians; liberalized the architecture. In one fell swoop about $12billion varnished.

(10) 1998- 1999: Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar- about $2b looted in 11 months.
(11) 1999- 2007: Chief Olusegun Obasanjo- His bank account said to have grown from #20,000 after leaving prison to multi-billion dollars with choice properties across major cities. $16b allegedly meant for electric power projects vanished. Another # 300b
($2b) for roads disappeared.
(12) 2007-2010: Alhaji Umar Yar'Adua- reserved and I'll. Looted funds have not been traced to his regime.
(13) 2011-2015: Dr. Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan- in 2011 elections about $2.6trillion disappeared. Over $31b stolen in 2yrs. Another $2.6b was stolen in 2015 elections. More relevations on stolen public funds during his tenure are still emerging.

If there was no corruption in the system as at 1960-1966, Why was there a military coup to overthrow the civilian government of Tafa Balewa?

Corruption started since the creation of this oppressive economic sadomic, exploitative entity called Nigeria by lugard with the goal of continuous economic oppression which has been the reality of things since 1914. So it's wrong to say corruption started 1960, even the nation Nigeria was created for corrupt practices by the British government
