A foreigner reading your post would think these "public officials" are aliens not Nigerians and we the citizens are good upright people. Our problem are not public officials our problems are us. We are the ones who become public officials. It's not public officials that steall manhole covers, highway railings, railways tracks etc, its people like you and I.

The other day I asked a LASTMA operative why he wasnt stoping the busdrivers that were blatantly driving against traffic, he told me they beat them up...as in the bus drivers beat the lastma officials if they (LASTMA) try to apprehend them.

The truth is that a lot of Nigerians are exactly like the greedy officials that sold out the country for peanuts to P&ID. Corruption know no politicial parry, religion or ethnicity. It is simply endemic among Nigerians. This very sad case happened under Yar'adua/Jonathan. Today, these two former leaders are praised as saints. If not for the effort of Buhari and Malami in particular, this scam against Nigeria would have been successful as the Jonathan administration was already discussing payment terms before Buhari took over.

In fact, the kind of bashing Buhari, Tinubu and APC would have gotten if Nigeria had lost the case would have been deafening. Atiku, Obi, Rufai and other haters of Nigeria would have been falling on each other in a struggle to see who can come up with the most asinine statement against the APC government. Today, they are all quiet and pretending like nothing significant was achieved.

Nigeria shall continue to win over all her enemies.

Cry me a river! The betrayal of this country cannot even be chronicled. The devil has serious questions to answer about Nigeria’s case!

Very Shameful and Pathetic, that UK Judges- have to come to bail Nigeria on many occasions but why? Corruption!
Imagine this fraudulent Contracts that even the NNPC Officials knew ab- initio that this is non stata! Same with Ibori and we de wait for Dezani,under GEJ govt!
Yet, many of these crooked are still in Govt as workers,the oil and gas,waiting for another to happen to Nigeria!
This is how those who supposedly should be fighting for Nigeria, albert Patriotism, failed us because of Greed!
Our Children and their generations may not forgive those that makes Nigeria to become anyhow,instead of being great!
They cornered the Oil and Gas,
-the Power( DISCOS and Gemco),
-Cornered the FOREX and the Banks,
- Cornered virtually everything but thank God, they can't corner the Air we breathe!

It was the effort of the Oyingbo legal systems that saved Nigeria.

In 2017 Buhari and Malami didn't even have the court hearing, and P& ID were offered the $6.6 billion award.

Buhari and Tinubu have done more damage to Nigerians beyond losing the P&ID case. Under Buhari and Tinubu, Nigeria's GDP has dropped from $570 billion to $395 billion. The country's external debt is now $60 billion and reserves less than $5 billion. I would have rather lost the P&ID case than have 8 years of Buhari and Tinubu

A summary of the case is below

Yeah but it is only real public officials, the political class, that can sell the country to the tune of billions/trillions of naira, NOT the common man!

casualobserver:

because they have the same makeup and mindset of the typical Nigerian. the only thing differentiating them from the regular Nigerian is they have access to commit bigger thefts. The one thing I have discovered about Nigeria is that the masses are even more wicked people...they just dont have the opportunity. Sometimes I wonder if the reason public officials dont seem to care about the masses is because they understand the masses are equally wicked people.
I hate to say it but the good amongst us are few!!!

You're right, Nigerians generally are about the most scammy people on earth. But we're discussing why Nigeria is in a bad shape despite it's great potential. The reason is not the common man. The reason is our corrupt leaders, public officials, political class

Another enemy of Nigeria spotted

casualobserver:



and I am saying the leaders are no different from the followers. We all have the same mindset. The followers will do the same thing if they are in power.

A thief is a thief whether he has the opportunity to steal or not, a thief is a thief whether he is a small thief or a big thief. The only difference between the masses and the leaders is the opportunity for grand larceny is not open to the masses.

Remmember the president who said he had no shoes? A man without shoes can be classified as poor or started life poor. This is a man whose career was as a lecturer. What is the source of the wealth he and his wife have today? Remember this was the man who was once poor and couldnt afford shoes.

PoliteActivist:


Yes, MOST human beings are thieves - POTENTIALLY! Wether they are Nigerians or not. But that doesn't mean most humans steal or have stolen before.
So we are not discussing potential. We are discussing what actually led to Nigeria being in bad shape. It is NOT the common man. It is our corrupt leaders, politicians, public officials!

casualobserver:


It is not by accident that we are known abroad as fraudsters and theives. Na only us dey this world? Why always Nigerians? We are naturally crooked people.

Until Nigerians take responsibility for their role in where we have gotten oitlrselves, nothing will change. No good leader can save a damaged populace. One of the reasons we have bad leaders is that the few good people in society have left the governance space for the charlatans. Why? Because it is the same Nigerian masses that frustrate their efforts.

PoliteActivist:


😄 There's this Ugandan lady I chat with on whatsapp. Then I couldn't reach her again. When she came back she told me Nigerians hacked her Whatsapp. Asked how she knew it was Nigerians - she said it's because it is Nigerians that do such stuff!😅
The average American or Australian is corrupt too. Just that they are lucky that people that matter, people in leadership, police, judges, etc are not so corrupt

casualobserver:


that is the problem...you any the Nigerian masses refuse to take responsibility and instead prefer to shift the blame because it prevents you from confronting the ugly reality...which is that we are largely a selfish corrupt untrustworthy wicked people.

Every country has good eggs and bad eggs. The issue is how many more bad eggs than good eggs does your society contain. When you say "hello" to the average Nigerian the next thing, he is looking to scam or get money from you. We know even amongst ourselves we cant be trusted.

lets stop pretending abeg!

PoliteActivist:


So why is it when Nigerians go to a country in large numbers the country doesn't become corrupt? Simple, because the leadership of those countries stay not so corrupt. It boils down to leadership. They're the ones that can make examples of corrupt people as deterance to others. But when they themselves are corrupt...

casualobserver:


which country are you talking about where Nigerians have overwhelmed them such that Nigerians are now the majority?


Oga take a look in the mirror and confront the ugly reality.

PoliteActivist:


South Africa for example, despite that many black South Africans are not too honest, Nigerians have not imported corruption. So also many enclaves. But if Nigerians were to take over LEADERSHIP of those places en masse...

casualobserver:


Guy talk with sense. Are there more Nigerians than South Africans in South Africa? Is this not the same South Africa where they are driving Nigerians away?

You are just deflecting because you don’t want to face the truth.

EOD
