If we only appreciate the level of corruption in Nigeria then we would not mind even a selective anti corruption crusade.

Just last week in the company where I work, a guy was fired for busting a procurement fraud which had existed in the company for over 15 years. He was sacked for exposing it!

The level of corruption that thrives in Nigeria could be fought to a reasonable extent over a minimum of 20 years.
Just to a reasonable extent!

I really do not mind if the APC' s target is only on the PDP members, as long as they have stolen money from Nigeria.

When next PDP returns to power, they should witch hunt every corrupt person in the APC.
Yes they should!

Little by little we will get from this level of 95 percent corruption to 50 percent.
You are on the same page with me on this

Buhari's integrity still standing strong and for the political associates of him, they will surely face the consequences of their actions... Just watch.

How does buharis integrity still stand strong even with all that livebynight posted? Or has d meaning of integrity changed in d dictionary? With all his "integrity", y has buhari not made his corrupt political associates face d consequences of their actions?

Do you know how much funds are lying idle in many accounts because of BVN implementation? Think of that. Truth is we need to check the dictionary meaning of corruption and not rely on GEJ's definition of corruption if we are serious and want the world to take us serious too. That's the summary of kegame's message. Have a blessed day too.

Does Nigeria exist because of d world? Is Nigeria accountable 2d world?

This is a very big lie. I lived in Rwanda for 3 good years. What u all hear about the country is fallacy owing to the fact that it emerged from a devastating genocide. 90% Rwandese live below poverty line, tax is so high, corruption may not be as high as in Nigeria because in the first place they don't produce anything tangible. Remove Kigali, and I tell u Rwanda is a remote community..

You have just contradicted yourself by admitting that corruption in Rwanda is not as it is in Nigeria so what exactly are you talking about. If Rwanada has oil money like Nigeria, do you know what it will mean for that remote country in your own words.

You guys are underestimating corruption in Nigeria. A country with so much oil money yet can't have a national air carrier like Rwanda. Let's continue to tell ourselves lies

If you want to fight and end corruption in any nation, you have to be proactive not archaic.

You need to put systems in place to minimize the loopholes that leads to any form of corrupt practice.

You also need to minimize human interference wherever money handling is involved. Computerize money handling mediums and then use chains of automated systems to checkmate further loopholes.

Using guns and soldiers and Police to chase presumed corrupt people will never stop corruption anywhere in the world.

Death sentence couldn't stop people from killing others, so civilized countries put an end to death sentence and instead introduced proactive systems to forestall murder cases before they happen, how

They brought CCTV and made sure Police mount at very close range on every street and avenues of the cities so that once people on CCTV camera suspects an individuals action, they alert the nearest Police and Police will swing into action and arrest the suspect before he or she perpetrates the evil act.

They also developed a national database to capture every person living in their country and to capture every car, motorbike, etc such that if you commit crime, with the computerized database, you will be caught no matter the timeframe.

This is how to fight and end corruption in a nation not using Police and Army to harass citizens that do not agree to your lopsided political ideas.


And this was what Ngozi Okonjo Iweala wanted to do in Nigeria under Goodluck's government.

She wanted to develop national database for Nigeria to curb future corruption and to close corrupt loopholes that breeds corruption.

They started sim card registration to capture every owner of mobile phone in Nigeria so that whoever perpetrates crime with a phone can be traced.

Forget, Goodluck had good intentions for Nigeria to transform Nigeria with time.

He noticed the major problem of the north is illiteracy, so he built Almajiri schools so more northern children can obtain formal education not just Islamic education that even after they finish they still remain illiterate to civilization and modern world development.

In what appears like a subtle shade, Rwandan President Paul Kagame took to Twitter to advice Ngozi Okonjo Iweala to write another book on, “Not fighting corruption is even more dangerous “.

This message also goes to all lovers of corruption like Peter Obi who feels we should concentrate on opening shops alone and allow rogues to plunder our resources without restrain. We cannot make any progress as a nation until we collective battle the menance of corruption.


Does Paul Kagame even understand that president Buhari and his clan refuse Nigeria to restructure politically to cancel out the factors that cause wanton official corruption in Nigeria?

Dictator Kagame speaks for his fellow dictator.

Nelson Mandela quit after just one term as his country's leader.

Kagame may want to be another Robert Mugabe.

Corruption needs to be fought. But fighting it selectively while shielding your own men who are equally corrupt is hypocritical and indirrectly promoting same corruption.


Everybody cannot investigated and tried at the same time. Goodluck Jonathan and lots of other PDP rogues are still walking free without trial and nobody is complaining. Fighting corruption is an ongoing process and not a one off issue. Others will be served in due course.

No Nigerian was born to become corrupt.


Buhari deceives gullible Nigerians with his fight against corruption, while Buhari refuses to restructure Nigeria's political process to erase the factors that enable corruption thrive in Nigeria.


All because Buhari clan believes it can't survive if it's share of petroleum proceeds is lowered.


Who is fooled by President Buhari's anti corruption fight? Fellow dictator, Paul Kagame.

LiveByNight:
[s]APC touts will come here to speak incomprehensible rubbish

Buhari never fought corruption, instead he came to power to get revenge on his so called enemies

If I am wrong let him prove it by telling us who owns the billions found in ikoyi
Let buhari jail Governor Gaduje

Let buhari jail the pension thief Maina

Let buhari all efcc investigate Amaechi from looting rivers state when he was governor

Let buhari allow effc investigate the money laundering going in Lagos State via Alphabeta LLC

Let buhari tell us how people in the presidency used his family name to purchase 9mobile and Keystone bank

Let buhari tell us where his wife Aisha got N25 billion that her aide stole , isn't that Nigeria's money that can be used to build schools, roads , hospitals and pay salaries?

Let buhari allow efcc investigate Akpabio for looting Akwa ibom when he was the governor

Let buhari allow efcc investigate NNPC granting contracts worth $25 billion without due process

If buhari in is trully fighting corruption let him order NNPC to open there books for external auditing

If buhari is fighting corruption let him allow efcc question his inlaw Abbu kyari who was fingered in money laundering of over N20 billion two months ago

if buhari is fighting corruption let him explain how come despite increasing fuel price to N145 he claimed he was stopping subsidy payments yet he has paid over N3 trillion in just three years , when pdp didn't pay that amount in 16 years without increasing fuel.price so what is going on?

If buhari is fighting corruption let him carry out a free and open national census let us see how many people actually live in Nigeria and compare that against his subsidy payments

If buhari is fighting corruption let him explain how come he claimed he has boosted agriculture yet United Nations and world Bank said by next year Nigeria will be the world's largest importer of rice? So where are all the imaginary rice farmers who he said he empowered? Or is Nigeria now exporting rice and importing double the amount we export?

If buhari is truly fighting corruption why is he not respected for his anti corruption fight internationally? It's obvious the international community know better.

If he is doing well why had no international government declared support for his re-election like how they did in 2015? Not one government has come out to say "Nigeria will be better off if buhari continues as president" just like they were doing back in 2015 when even the American president declared support for him, same with the British PM or the German Chancellor

If buhari is fighting corruption why did he put his daughter as a board member of NNPC ? Why?

No wonder he can't order NNPC to open their books

If buhari is fighting corruption why is he not addressing the expenses of his $1 billion loan to fight book Haram? How was the money spent ? Yet we are seeing videos everyday of our soldiers crying or not having weapons!

If buhari is fighting corruption why didn't he order an investigation into Magu the efcc chairman who had been fingered by so many sources are being a condition pipe of money laundering for his inlaw Kyari?

Why did DSS report state clearly that Magu is unfit to be the efcc chairman due to failing several integrity tests yet buhari went on to endorse him?

If buhari is fighting corruption why did he not allow efcc investigate the IG on money laundering charges ?

If buhari is not corrupt why create a yearly budget for health care and yet he goes abroad for all medical issues meaning the minister of health is incompetent.. so where does our yearly health budget go?

If buhari is not corrupt why float the naira against the dollar when you know you don't have a thriving local industry to booster your currency? So who is benefiting from this floating of the naira against the dollar ? The parallel market operators? Who runs this dollar dollar market in Nigeria?

You know the answer to that question[/s]

You know why I laugh? I laugh because most are not philosophical to understand bad must exist for us to know the value of good.

You want to fight corruption? You’re wasting your time! You need to understand this thing is part of every system they are the bedrock. You will crash the entire system when you say you want to end it. You must tend to manage it in such a way it doesn’t affect growth but they will always be there!

Corruption is a meanance to Nigeria the way racism is a menace to the American society now ask yourself do you think the American government dedicate all their time to fight it? No they manage it cause they know this things can’t be fought this things can’t be overturn this same racism was the bedrock of America . So totally fighting it is just crashing the system but they’ve learn to manage it and make atleast relatively look sane !
