Although Asari is deflecting, and being a hypocrite that he is, we all know what he's means.

Imagine making enough money year-in year-out to finance a budget with change to spare and we still borrow. Talk about a nation doomed to corruption.

I don't know why people can't read between lines. Asari Dokubo is not justifying the looting in NDDC but he is saying that there are far bigger looting going in other sectors which they deliberately turn blind eye on. If they are truly fighting corruption, search light should also be thrown on these other sectors such as NNPC, CBN and The Nigeria Customs. You will be amazed at the money being looted in these sectors.

what do you mean why am I bringing NNPC into it? What kind of anti-corruption crusader are you What do you mean by "in future when the axe falls", so your own anti-corruption axe has time table when it falls on some lesser corruption and ignores the bigger corruption? Distracting you from issues at hand as how? I want to distract you, yet I posted a thread centered on NDDC corruption? They keep supporting and worshipping the biggest thieves, but throw tyres on the neck of the smaller thieves and burn them to death, I see that how your anti-corruption strategy works. No problem, continue

What I meant was that this particular case is about NDDC. When it comes to NNPC, then we face NNPC squarely.

Everyone knows that there is corruption in every sector of our economy, especially our oil industry.

The NNPC is an entire industry in its own rights. To better monitor it, Buhari did sack many heads of government-owned companies, and even split the organization into two to better monitor it. So, it is not like there are no efforts being made in that direction.

But, unfortunately, this issue is about the NDDC.

You are the one who failed to read between the lines.

That man is justifying the looting.

This is like a father whose son was reported to have stolen 50 naira. Instead of facing his son and dealing with him, he turns to the accusers of his son and says, "What my son did is pickpocketing compared to what my neighbor's son did last week".

If that is not justifying his son's theft, then what is?

When is the "when" going to happen. For one, you cannot separate NDDC from NNPC, because the funds both have their hands in the Niger-delta oil money. You cannot probe NDDC and ignore NNPC, never! They are symbiotic. A bank was robbed of N100, 4 thieves came in and did the stealing. One thief stole N2, another one N1, and another one stole N7 and the other thief stole N90, they stole separately at different times in the night. So if the police detectives come into the bank to investigate the robbery, they should only bother about the thief that stole N2, and forget about catching the other ones, that they will pursue those ones another year, or they will wait till anytime there is another robbery to try and catch the other thieves. Does this make sense to you? Yet you say the "issue" is about NDDC. Well, you got it wrong again. The "issue" is not about NDDC. The issue is about "corruption", the monumental staggering corruption happening in major sectors of our country that is been deliberately ignored. Yet they are quick to jump on the NDDC as if that's the worst occurrence of corruption. If there was ever a time to prove, dismantle and rip apart the NNPC for CORRUPTION, the time is NOW! The anti-corruption hammer cannot be selective of which corruption it chooses to nail. It must nail them all. That is true anti-corruption. But nothing will be done about the NNPC because Buhari is the minister in charge. "Mr. Integrity" indeed grin

The money squandered was what was allocated to the NDDC.

By your logic, we should blame the sports ministry for the misappropriation of funds allocated to the handball association.

As for "when", read this article on corruption in the NNPC, and how it has defied many solutions, and why it is difficult to adequately monitor affairs:

There is nothing like "defied" solutions. All that lingo and jargon is just a cover up to perpetuate stealing. If Saro Wiwa could be sentenced to death and hanged for the "crime" of "treason" (quote and unquote), what could be more treasonous to the country than looting the economic prosperity of 180m citizens to oblivion? NDDC loot is crumbs compared to those who are looting the Niger-delta crude oil day in day out without any transparent accountability. The Nigerian govt had the political will and found the means to hang Saro Wiwa at all costs. But when it comes to catching the thieves destroying this country, you're telling me "defied many solutions", "difficult" etc. No there's nothing "difficult" in the sense of difficult. But I get it, it's difficult for them to probe the thieves when the people who are the thieves are the people they see when they stand and look in the mirror.

Look at him, as if he did not a benefit of the pick pocketing and armed robbery of the resources of his so called region.

If he truly loved them why go to another country to establish.

Kettle calling pot black.

I pity the niger delta region, cause all they can ever amount to is being cash cows for the north and west, the current underdeveloped status of the region does not measure up the wealth stolen from it.

But they should blame their own people who prefer to sell their people for a mesh of porridge or better sell themselves to a pick pocketer. grin

Don't mind them. They are intentionally misinterpreting what Asari said because they want to deflect from the real issues he has raised. The evil cabal looting this country to its grave don't like it when we talk about corruption in the highest places in this country. So they will recruit their zombies to rant about nothing and point accusing fingers at the lesser thieves and try to deflect and push a tale of denial or "we will deal with it later, that's not the issue on ground now" hypocritical attitude when their thieving yansh is opened. When will the "later" come? When is the "when" that we will deal with the biggest thieves in this country and open their files. How long will they continue to sweep their probes under the carpet and we turn a blind eye to their corruption. These thieves are economic terrorists that have terrorized this country to a state of unimaginable poverty and mass suffering for the citizens. Yet we should shut up about that. I'm not a supporter or promoter of Asari but i won't deny or deflect that he has made a very valid point. He has raised an issue that honestly if we as citizens were truly serious about the development of this country we cannot ignore. A company whistle blower just exposed that 48 million barrels of crude oil has been siphoned to China. Where is the outrage? But the NDDC that was made for the development of the Niger-delta is been hounded to be scrapped, while the real hardened thieves in Abuja that have turned NNPC to their ATM are answerable to nobody. NNPC that is plundering the wealth of the same Niger-delta and appropriating the oil wells to their cabal, cronies and partners in crime. Asari isn't saying they should not probe NDDC. He is saying the thieves in NDDC are small thieves compared to the thieves in Abuja and what they stole is crumbs compared to what those ones are stealing.

It is this type of mentality that is killing Nigerians. The lack of objective reasoning. So far the thieves are of your tribe, it is okay. What is bad is bad. People who reason this way will likely remain poor for life. It's like my saying it's okay for Obasa or Tinubu to continue to rob Lagos taxpayers because nothing was done to act on the corruption report on Malami. How nauseating is bad. Anyone that reason this way is also a potential thief. Asari has "stolen" from his people one or the other. So, he is not different. It's our oil money mentality.

Yes now, too much looting from the north with no commensurate punishment like public execution from Nigeria pseudogovernment or whatever Nigerians think they have as government.

Dont brother posting any fact, we wholeheartedly agree with Asari.

And we urge the leaders in the Niger Delta to steal more so that, eventually, their stealing can measure up to what the Northerners are stealing.

Dear Niger Delta leaders, if you're reading this, my name is Omenka and I endorse your stealing 100% and implore you to steal more, after all, you've not stolen up to what Northerners are stealing.

Thank you as you do this for your people.
