Has Corruption Got Something To Do With Being A Woman? by enyojo(f): 11:01am On Mar 22, 2012
Is there a Feminine dimension to corruption or it is just a Nigerian Coincidence?

AYOKA ADEBAYO:
She resigned for refusing to undertake an Iwuruwuru mandate. But she was reportedly bribed and also threatened and she returned to announce Engr Oni winner.

CECILIA IBRU:
She pleaded guilty to looting several Billions of the depositors and Investors money. She built houses in prime areas and rented them out to Oceanic Bank. She had Private jets and countless foreign companies and sentenced to 6 months on bed rest.

ARUNMA OTEH:
She reportedly ate the Guiness World record meal of N850,000 in a single day (though still sketchy). but she lodged in Transcorp Hotel for 8 months when she has mansion in Abuja and in other places.

PATRICIA OLUBUNMI ETE:
She renovated or attempted to renovate a single house for hundreds of millions of our money. She budgeted millions for body massage machine. Rising from being a Hair-dresser who happen to bed Mr president (so it was reported), she became Madam Speaker in a Male-dominated House of Representatives. Being ignorant of many things, she called Airport Runway as 'Run-Away' in the full glare of the World!

PROF (MRS) ADENIKE GRANGE
Her rise from the medical world to becoming a Minister of Health raised the hopes of the sick Nigerians. However months later, she reportedly helped herself with some millions of Naira which was the left-over of the unspent budget. She had the integrity to reject bt she rather thought it wise to keep it. So she was openly disgraced by Musa Yar'Adua and sacked in the hot sun.

DR IYABO OBASANJO-BELLO
The senator who was made Chairman of Senate committee on Health on the strength of her dad who had made David Mark the senate President against all odds. Iyabo was also given N50 Million out of the Unspent Budget for the health ministry when we all know that there are numerous projects at the grassroots that require funds.

DIEZANI MADUEKWE:
She was called the weeping minister who wept on seeing the Lagos-Benin Expressway to confirm our assertion that people like her only fly over our problems in planes. But on that fateful day, she saw the death-traps for the first time. Yet nothing was done. As a Petroleum minister under G.E.J, she superintended over a N1.7 Trillion Subsidy fraud- The greatest in World history. With several foreign accounts and other Companies, this US-trained Architect turned Petroleum 'Expert' has tried to use the reputation of anti-corruption chiefs to cover her tracks.

MRS (DR) PATIENCE JONATHAN:

She has been reportedly arrested in connection with money laundering cases. Howbeit, being the sitting First-Lady, the case is not visited till she steps out of Aso-rock. This is sequel to the Ibori saga who was not touched while an 8-year Governor but was caged when he stepped out.
