Sorry sir didn't get you.
Grammar check?

What I'm trying to point out in response to an earlier post citing the mass upheaval against the fuel price increase is that past leaders with no immunity now are out there in the open even attending functions (seminars, lectures, fundraisers, investmets, etc) organised by or attended by high ranking officials of law enforcement and the judiciary.

This would means millions of people (politicians, civil servants, police, military and so on) would have to resign.

In other words its a game of numbers. And perhaps those who do wrong are in the majority and have infiltrated the system so badly a common stomach bug has turned to sepsis. Another angle.

In our country our Gov. budgeted N200billion for subsidy and end up paying trillion still counting

This can never hapen in any of the African nation. Our leaders are heartless and not god fearing.

2buff: It starts with the removal of the immunity clause in the Nigerian constitution of those in power.
Your very constitution was founded on the values of corruption and unaccountability.
Unless the whole nation rises against it like they rose against fuel subsidy removal your plight will continue.

Sitting and wishing to be like X and Y is not going to help you.
You have been sitting and wishing for several decades now and no change has happened.
Continue and you will quickly find another decade has met you again, and another, and another yet in the same sorry state.

White man will not come and change your constitution for you.
Your leaders will not one day "use mind" to change your constitution for you because it is in their favor and supports their looting ways.
No. This is something the people need to really give a damn about.

The events of January 2012 showed you people THE POWER that comes when a whole nation rises up against evil rulers.
Because a stone sits at the top of a mountain, it should not think it is more important than the stones that form the base of it, lest they remind it on whom it stands on.
It was only through a nationwide strike, grinding to a halt the economy of the country, were the rulers moved to listen to the people and AT LEAST reach an acceptable compromise.
Without further shows of strength by the people, I tell you, your situation will not change in a hundred centuries.....unless Christ comes.

Tell them!!

You are a typical Nigerian so i will forgive your mindset.
Re: Canada Minister Resigns After Buying $16 Orange Juice Outside Budget by Curiouscity(m): 5:18pm On Jul 04, 2012
Most of us response as if the gov't is a different set of persons from me, U, our Dads/mum, uncles, aunties, brothers n sisters.
90% of us Nigerians have the tendency to get rich quick given any opportunity. We find every avenue to cut corners and evade due process. Go to any office where most of us work, U'll see "man know man", line shunting, greed, etc.
Our leaders portray the general and larger sickness in Nigeria.
Even in some families, Husbands and wives are not transparent to themselves.
We need attitudinal change!!

Guyz pls dont compare these civilized lawmakers with our african LAWBREAKERS. We very well know what our very own CROOKS' in politics, FAR-CROOK inclusive would do and how they'll always get away with it. Besides isn't that being too stringent? I mean its just a $16 overspending. Look@me a typical Nigerian speaking grin grin

The report stated extravagant spending and not necessarily because of the glass of orange juice alone.
Re: Canada Minister Resigns After Buying $16 Orange Juice Outside Budget by mbhs139(m): 11:21pm On Jul 04, 2012
Sometimes in 1993 or there about, the famous novelist, Jeofree Archer, and a member of the British House of Lords, was jailed for three years for lying.

The fact of the matter is that he failed to return part of his travelling estacodes having slept free of charge in his friend's hotel. The prosecution argued that he was suppose to return the money back to goverment purse since he didn't spend it for the purpose it was meant for.

Read your meaning to that.

what are you saying in essence, that her action is not worthy of being emulated? Would you please elaborate further on what you mean? Thanks

mr.phenomenal:


I couldn't agree more.. Canada is a place where you can go to work and leave your doors unlocked without fear of burglary.. hence the mentality of accountability.

Yeah you are correct, my family literally never lock our doors anymore, we only locked when we first came LOL, its good to live without fear of armed robbers!
Re: Canada Minister Resigns After Buying $16 Orange Juice Outside Budget by larek14: 7:52am On Jul 05, 2012
this can never happen in any african country. its like corruption and indignity is coded into our genes. Look at any black nation across the world and tell me which has made any progress; infact its like we are made up of everything thats retrogressive in nature.
South africa that is supposed to be the hope of africa started making a reverse turn the moment power changed hands into our dear brothers' hands.

Oga she has nothing to hide.In a white man's world when a public officer is charged for squandering tax payers money, or a public servant or private, involve fraudulent practice... It is ethical for the accused to resign. E.g Barclays CEO that resigned somedays ago. I just quoted you. grin
Re: Canada Minister Resigns After Buying $16 Orange Juice Outside Budget by asemota2012: 3:41pm On Jul 05, 2012
16 dollars is less than 2000 naira,and she resign her position for the to set an example for others.Naija leaders don't know shame,98% of them have a motive as they goes in to office their primary motive is
to take their share of the nations wealth to enrich themselves and build mansions at hoome and abroad as if they are going to live forever.
