No.
The way Buhari relates to our States Governments is not the same as Trump relates to the U.S State Governments. Our Nigerian Constitution is fraught with misapplications.

That's not true cos you are underestimating the amount of huge investments in that sector. And mind you oil is not only the source of revenue Nigeria has but corruption and accountability is an issue as there are so many leakages in the system.

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

If we only appreciate the level of corruption in Nigeria then we would never 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.
instead of building strong institutions for fighting corruption just take a look at what you're writing?? .. how can corruption be fought selectively ??. What kind of black mans mentality is that ??.. we all know same politicians decamp and cross over into both the opposition and ruling party every now and then..

It's a shame to see educated people support selective corruption fight.. dont you know we the masses end up suffering as a result of selective corruption fight ?? .

Do you people understand the concept of the book


Have you read it


So many goats and senseless people in my unfortunate COUNTRY of origin

Kagame gives a suggestion and all these e rats are running their mouth undecided
My brother, I saw the tweet since last year, followed it and agree with all you said. He was giving a suggestion and opinion in relation to what NOI wrote about her experience as a minister and what she encountered. He actually agreed with her. To think the mods moved this half-truth to FG and they ate already gloating.

monex:


she meant fighting corruption is a dangerous mission because corrupt elements will fight back. The book was about corruption fighting back.

Try not to twist her words when you read it

chicfarmer:
Read NOI's book first, then come back and comment.
NOI and Kagame are saying same thing. Okonjo's book highlighted her challenges in fighting corruption and the resistance and even threats she faced from entrenched interests.

She was simply saying that corruption must be stopped but don't expect it to be easy.

Kagame's comment is a play on words (pun), not a sly dig.

People should try and read more, abeg. Everything is not politics.
Thank you. Aptly put.

seunmsg:
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.
You are a very dishonest person. Look at how you brought in politics into a beautiful message by Kagame and twisted it to suit your narrative.

Read my earlier post where I said that even in the 60s where we practiced true federalism, there was corruption which is the reason the soldiers gave for the 1966 coup plot. We have a moral problem and crisis in Nigeria. It's in our DNA, no political restructure will solve the problems. If you say judicial reform, yea and am surprised no body has mentioned the judiciary so far, that is where we can tackle corruption headlong. But when a big politician is taken to court for corruption or any criminal issue, we all begin to shout. We have a moral crisis

Good System is Planning and Control with built-in Checks and Balances. The Soldier man calls this Bureacracy. He feels he is superior to the Legislature and the Judiciary.
Re: Not Fighting Corruption Is More Dangerous, Kagame Tell Okonjo Iweala. by Titogbanski: 12:13pm On Jan 10, 2019
The absurdity about the 2015 elections is that almost all the members of the ruling cabal that has plundered this country from its inception.......the ruling establishment, the fertilizer cabal, past military dictators and presidents, the fuel subsidy cabal, the foreign exchange racketeering cabal, the pension fraud cabal, the ghost workers cabal, and even the western powers America and Britain who seem to support and benefit from Nigeria's "bad rulers".......all these people all came together to oust the Jonathan government.

In order words, all the corrupt people in Nigeria including their foreign collaborators Jonathan who is allege to be the worst corrupt president according to the narrative!!! This is o absurd. I think the reverse is the opposite. Jonathan's policies block corruption, his monetary and fiscal policies blocked the dollar cabal whose profiteering margin hovered below N10 per Dollar (today it is upwards of N50 Naira per Dollar depending on your connection to get Dollars at the preferential exchange rates being implemented by the current regime). The fertilizer cabal were cut off from the fertilizer distribution system, the ghost workers had many of their ghost discovered and removed from the civil service salary thru the re-verification and computerization of records, sound and highly qualified Nigerians who had nothing to do with politics were appointed into critical sectors of the administration..agric, economy etc... corrupt leaders usually prefer to appoint cronies and short sighted individuals who would be loyal.

On fuel subsidy the first govt to break the perennial fuel jinx was the Jonathan govt under who fuel became available through out the country at the uniform price. With oil price upwards of $80 per barrel the govt was able to provide subsidized fuel at N97 to N97 Naira per litre and part of that money went back to Sure-p and other empowerment schemes.

The impact of the Jonathan govt was felt in lower or reduced prices for goods and services, predictability and other indices of economic growth

The present Govt of PMB, with oil price hovering at $50 is providing fuel at N145 per liter when non oil producing countries are buying fuel cheaper because of low oil price. We also are paying high subsidy at the same time having claimed that we have removed subsidy.

I really wonder who was corrupt more corrupt

It’s not quite a shade, unless you are implying that Paul Kagame has trouble comprehending basic English (or more likely never bothered to read the book), because Okonjo-Iweala book does NOT advocate against fighting corruption but merely (and correctly) warns that it’s a tough and dangerous fight.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi is right (albeit he never actually said that Nigeria should not fight corruption). There is a saying that a farmer whose farm is invaded by bush rats can either elect to become a full-time rat chasers or to fence his farm. Along those lines, the best anti-corruption weapon remains PREVENTION! Without primary attention to prevention, convicting 2 ex-Govs after 9-11 years of trial is pitiful returns.

Did you really type that bold part? Even if they put my kidney in skull, I can't make that statement. If OBJ did selective anti corruption then EFCC wouldn't have gone after Ibori at all and that would have meant PDP probably ruling at Federal level till date.

You no know wussup. Gime isn't getting any traction because:

1. Folks imagine they have to punish his party over the herdsmen crises.

2. Akume factor. They are tired of his imposition of governors and imagine Gime is just another way of him trying to regain control over the state. Remember he brought Susu and Ortom, both of whom he fell out with at some point, allegedly due to their refusal to keep greasing his palms.

It is more likely that Ortom, the all round failure, clinches another term than Jime winning.

Only problem Reverend seems to be having is finances. Hopefully that will be overcome soonest. Even heard Akume is secretly funding him because he feels Jime might not be too amenable to his overbearing attitude should he get in there.

For me, the battle is between Ortom, Ikyaan. Hwande sef na just distraction.
