"Corruption “hollows systems out and cripples them from the inside". My thought for the day

2loadedguy:

So what exactly is your point when you already affirmed Tinubu is stealing Lagos money. The bottomline is he's a theif whether it's through bullion van or by stealing Lagos pension or lekki toll which nullifies your initial argument.
But you said you will still vote for him irrespective?

Just letting you know that bullion van delivery is not a crime, so do not bring it up as an allegation.

It could be a Rolex watch that they are delivering.

Most of this obi people were kids in 2015 I guess, if not you would have understood that all this are political witch-hunt.

Anyone can sponsor a story in Bloomberg and the likes you pay them and they run your article.

apc did worst than this in 2015. If you have forgotten,

apc sponsored, lobbied Obama wife to carry
" bring back our girls" banner

how many students have been kidnapped in this buhari era, why trump wife no carry sign post.

apc lobbied Kerry to be coming to nigeria to make funny comments about Jonathan govt.

apc sponsored a journalist to attack Jonathan in US United nations meeting.

apc sponsored bills in US senate for arms not to be sold to nigeria.

Go do your research, ask Sahara report

Etc etc

If you pay media they will do your bidding

Fox News is for trump, CNN is for Biden it's a game

When tinubu was lamenting in Ogun state, he knows how much went into propaganda alone both for local and international media and lobbyists.

Though it was Lagos state money and done sw states funds

obi loud mouth who salivate and masturbate on issues like this, hope he has gotten the resources to carry it on the money your god don't want to pay delegates he will pay for propaganda media.

Can your god beat apc to their game?

Can obi sponsor a nationwide protest, such as "save nigeria group"?

You people are just living in a fool's paradise

The same man who chose to be a Vice Presidential candidate in 2019 to one of the most notorious thieves ever in Nigeria political History. The same man whose aides were caught with millions of naira in cash in far away Lagos for the payment of contractors. The same man whose House of Assembly members impeached for several cases of corruption.

Anyway, it was stated clearly in the above article : "Tinubu was never indicted"

“ The IRS secured warrants in January 1992 to seize almost $2 million, according to court filings. While living in Chicago between 1989 and 1991, Tinubu had deposited more than $1.8 million into one of the accounts, before transferring large sums to another bank, according to the US government’s complaint. While disputing the US’s reason for targeting the accounts, Tinubu settled in September 1993, agreeing to give up $460,000 to the US government in exchange for the release of the rest of the money. Tinubu wasn’t indicted over the matter”

Ask any Nigerian-American, they will tell you taxes in the USA is complicated for Dual-Citizens. When IRS is involved in any money issue, it’s tax related not crime. They felt there’s a taxable income you’re trying hard to protect. All Americans know how to re-invest their money to afford taxes and it’s not even illegal. Even Trump and American wealthy people do that every time.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Talk is cheap. This is a rehash of the lies and allegations peddled by people who hate Asiwaju Tinubu because he is not from their Igbo tribe and their religion.

There is a puerile tone of stereotype misrepresentation of African leaders by the writer and the Clement Nwankwo quoted in the article as well (obviously deliberate lack of knowledge, fairness and objectivity made the writer, who is not a Nigerian, choose her resource persons from the Igbo tribe that mostly hate Tinubu because they see him as the one standing between their tribe and the much-coveted Nigeria Presidency) make the article suspicious and tainted with the allegations and fake news peddled mostly by the politically weak Tinubu-hating folks from the Igbo tribe.

In reality; a supposedly advanced US could elect a con man and IndecentStar client Mr Donald Trump as President and Russians elect a Putin as President to be one of the richest Presidents in the world and UK elected a Tony Blair, pandora papers corruption scandal tainted UK's former PM Tony Blair (and Peter Obi) yet the foreigner made a war tested decorated General like President Buhari seem as a mean feat.

If you like use pseudonyms or proxies to keep saying same lies a billion time, you will still lose.

Asiwaju Tinubu earned his position on merit and it is because of how he served meritoriously. His legacies are verifiable and stand till date.

Insha Allah, come 2023, patriotic Nigerians will elect Asiwaju Tinubu.
Asiwaju Lokan. Vote Tinubu as President. He is the most capable and most patriotic among all the aspirants.

For mere stipends, someone will write what will disgrace himself and his generation...tueh!

I don't think the report is about presidential candidates.
It only focused on those with corruption cases.
If Obi or any other presidential candidates weren't mention, it might be that they do not have corruption cases, or they are relatively clean as far as the article is concerned.

Oga, USC 1956 and 1957 are about funds derived from narcotics or unlawful activity. Mr. Tinubu's settlement wasn't about taxes. No indictment needed as the case did not get to the stage where a grand jury becomes necessary.

but it's not only Nigeria leaders that are corrupt, the citizens are equally corrupt.
it's can only take corrupt followers to encourage corrupt leadership.
that these two corrupt entities have successfully taken over the current center stage of our national politics, simply means that nigerians have finally accepted that corruption is part of our national life, that can never be changed.
the world can all see how our politicians effortlessly purchase our voting rights, with peanuts. it's like we have accepted corruption as our national policy, but accepting citizens to be mudered with impunity by bandits and terrorists, is the more bizarre aspect of life, that the world need to focus about in Nigeria.
