DrGoodman:
Corruption in Nigeria since 2015 is too much.

MufasaLion:


Corruption of now is not up to that of the past. The military leaders stole more than you could ever imagine. They should expose Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd.) also.

DrGoodman:


At least those past corrupt military men had names, what's the name of this one who stole 10.9 billion?

No name.

MufasaLion:


Nothing can be hidden forever, brother.

DrGoodman:


Is hiding the identity not another form of corruption? This is media trial, concealment of information with intent to destroy the case and divert the proceeds of corruption.

MufasaLion:


He's probably a top General and still in service, they just wanna punish him, not destroy him. This is politics, brother.

Racoon:
This must be the sweat and blood of poor soldiers whose blood have been sacrificed or lives have been maimed. God will continue to punish all these evil souls.

DrGoodman:


Yeah, politics of corruption.

Racoon:
This must be the sweat and blood of poor soldiers whose blood have been sacrificed or lives have been maimed. God will continue to punish all these evil souls.

DrGoodman:


Yeah, politics of corruption.

You see, bullets will keep missing, guns will keep being diverted to criminal Bandits, herdsmen will keep buying sophisticated guns because we want to play the politics of corruption.

We can only name names if he's ibo.

DrGoodman:
What's the name of this officer?

MufasaLion:


Well, corruption is not synonymous with a particular tribe/ethnicity/race etc. I detest bigotry!

DrGoodman:


Same as me, 8 detest stereotyping some tribes as offenders while a whole lot of thievery is being swept under the carpet and some tribes are hiding their corrupt men identity.

This corrupt man might one day become your COAS and you can imagine the rest.
