Define corruption again, please.

BluntBoy:
You said it was since there were gains for both the lecturer and the student.

Frankly, I think you and Atiku are confused.

cutesmilez:
Atiku don't need to win Kano state. He only needs atlist 40% of Kano's votes. That's all. As you know, Kano gave pmb above 1.9million votes in 2015 while PDP got less Dan 250 thousand votes from the region. Now going by kwankwanso's movement in Kano. I can categorically tell you that the APC votes in Kano will just be a little above PDP's Kano votes, that's if APC wins Kano in the first place.

Now let's take a look at Rivers state. The state is predominantly a PDP state. Rivers gave PDP 1.4 million votes in 2015, close to 1.5 million. While APC only got 69 thousand + votes in Rivers.

My point? Apc's strongest state is Kano, while PDP's strongest state is Rivers. Going by recent appenings, PDP will sure get above 25% votes in APC's strongest state which is Kano and APC don't stand a chance in Rivers (PDP's strongest state).... Which is already a win win for PDP. Kano will not produce as much votes it produced for APC in 2015, but Rivers will sure produce more Dan wat it delivered for PDP in 2015, this makes it a win win for PDP.
nop PDP strongest state i n 2015 was Delta state.

I rest my case! Politics is all about numbers, and getting more votes from ur opposition's strongest place.

BluntBoy:
So, that is corruption?

What if the lecturer merely made a promise and ends up not fulfilling it?

HeavenlyBang:
The Nissan Z is all around a better car than the TT. Your prejudices are irrelevant here.

BluntBoy:
How so? If one essence of corruption is to gain an advantage, how then is it possible for two parties to always gain when it comes to corruption?

BluntBoy:
So, according to you, a lecturer who has sex with a female student is guilty of corruption?

Since he abused his position of authority over the student, it must be corruption, according to you, not so?

BluntBoy:
Is money laundering not corruption?

But an increase in technology has made it even easier to launder money, according to a study I read recently.

Please, just remove tech out of your solution. Nigeria needs political reform and a change of mentality.

Man and machine interaction will do absolutely nothing for a country where the foundation of governance (pseudo federalism) is faulty.

If you become president and start thinking about all the idea you crammed into your post, you will end up achieving absolutely nothing in 4 years. Please, always be practical at all times.

This is Nigeria, a country grappling with pervasive corruption. You would be surprised that if you budget money for these techs, they would be embezzled right under your nose.

It is obvious you have totally underestimated the extent of corruption in Nigeria.

And it appears like you believe that Atiku has the answer to corruption in Nigeria. A man who is a beneficiary of corruption. Of course, he would know what corruption is. But unlike you, he knows that techs would be nothing but a waste of funds.

BluntBoy:
I am sure you think your workplace is corruption-free abi You will be surprised that the same techs monitoring some set of workers is the same protecting some set of absentee workers.


My brother, hope you know that technology can aid corruption as well?

We don't need techs because these techs would be corrupted to only catch a set of corrupt people while ignoring other sets.

What we need in Nigeria is a change of mentality and a solid political reform.

Last week, a boy was telling some other boys (as they were returning from school) that he would be campaigning for the position of councilor immediately he graduates from secondary school. He said he would embezzle so much that his family and his generations would never go hungry. Sadly, this is the mentality of the average Nigerian. How do you introduce tech into a society whose average mentality is to enrich themselves whenever they get the chance to serve their country?

Even with the techs used widely by JAMB, corrupt officials still find a way around these techs to manipulate results. You will see a lawyer or doctor or engineer paying mercenaries to sit for exams for their children.

Which is more important and necessary: To correct this mentality that service to the country is a means to enrich one's generations or to invest in techs that would end up being manipulated by people with the terrible mentality that service means enrichment, embezzlement and nepotism?


The masses need a change of mentality. Our leaders come from among the people. They are a reflection of us. So, the masses need to understand the consequences of corruption. The mentality that If I get there, meself go chop the national cake should be demonized. The mentality is so pervasive that if you a civil servant who is honest, your colleagues would be laughing at you and calling you a fool.

We need education. And we need political reform. Our pseudo federalism encourages corruption. We need to go back to either the parliamentary system of government we practised between 1960 and 1966 or we adopt true federalism like the United States.

Technology may be needed later to help further reduce corruption. But for now, we need a change of mentality and a new political system.

HeavenlyBang:
Still not worth 10m for a 2010. Probably closer to 7m for a clean titled one.

OP, why not look for a Nissan 370Z? Will be a lot more reliable than the TT and drives even better.

deomelo:
Please tell us, we don't know.

Newsloft:
It has come to the knowledge of Ericmany Limited that our artiste, Douglas Jack Agu, alias ‘Runtown’, has taken to social media celebrating a supposed ‘victory’ in our case in Court. Runtown is telling lies. Runtown did not win the case. He has not even filed a defence. .

On 4th December, 2018, the Court ruled that Runtown’s lawyer can appear. But the Court dismissed Runtown’s application challenging its jurisdiction. It held that a breach of the contract is not for arbitration. The Court also held that Runtown should maintain the status quo. This means that Runtown should stop operations until the case is over.

Runtown filed two appeals in the Court of Appeal on these. He then prayed the High Court to suspend the decisions and the trial itself “pending the determination of the Appeal filed at the Court of Appeal, Abuja”. In the meantime, Ericmany commenced contempt proceedings against Runtown due to his flouting of the Court Order.

On 23rd January, 2019, the High Court agreed to suspend its decision and further trial to allow Runtown’s appeals to run out. This is normal practice.

The lower Court cannot be seen to be fighting the appeal Court. The Court warned Runtown to move his papers to the Court of Appeal within 14 days or the relief is cancelled.

So rather than misleading the unwary public that he has won, Runtown should rather concentrate on pushing his appeals.

The relief he got in the High Court is a merely a short break by the High Court to respect the Court of Appeal. The case is still there. He has not filed a defence because he obviously has no defence. Runtown still owes Ericmany more than N266 Million. He has not produced a single album as agreed.

The heart will stop beating on the 16th of February,Deltans need a change and that change will come from ,Buhari.

Clerverly:
Scanty crowd even with free ashebi and Polo Shirts..

The way Buhari will humiliate Atiku on the 16th...ipob Yoots will never recover.

Bolo12:
They are intelligent, solving problems with pure proper logic

AmuDimkpa:
I watched it on YouTube and I must say I was impressed with Atiku. He came across as a highly intelligent man who knows his onions. Obi on his part showed he was a competent vice to Atiku. They are not perfect but if Nigerians want to move forward and save the country, then, they must take the step and embrace these two men. Arise people of conscience and vote out people who remain docile while thousands are killed in their ancestral homes. Anybody from middle belt who votes for Buhari doesn’t value life and people who support this man who doesn’t value lives of Nigerians because they don’t belong to his religious sect don’t have any form of conscience .

goslowgoslow:
Guy e don do !! Even if PDP started it and APC completed or continue with it is it wrong? Is it the party that started the project that matters or the progress of work being done? Why are we so daft as a people? Always arguing over things that are irrelevant. Talk about the progress not who started it.

You people have come again Peter Obi Liar Jnr.

PDP started nothing and didn't touch it at all throughout their 16yrs of looting.
It was started and abandoned since 1987.

This govt decided to complete it after over 30yrs.

tk4rd:
LET'S GET THIS CLEAR ONCE AND FOR ALL..
___
Did APC actually promise to make N1 equal to $1 during the 2015 APC=CHANGE Campaign??
____
Because I want to know why the lady took it so personal when Peter Obi mentioned it.

BluntBoy:
Smh...

So, an increase in the interaction between a human and tech will reduce corruption ordinarily?

Obviously, you can't simplify Atiku's idea because it is purely a lame and lazy idea.

You tried to communicate it to me but it was difficult, wasn't it? That is because it is a foolish idea that reeks of Atiku's lack of ideas. It also shows that he has no will nor zeal to fight corruption.

How do you fight corruption with techs in a third world country like Nigeria where corruption has become a way of life?

Even the introduction of techs would worsen the situation as it would encourage embezzlement of funds with the excuse of purchasing gadgets to fight corruption.

Fighting corruption with tech in Nigeria is like putting laptops before every student in a dilapidated school building. Why not rebuild the walls first and make the environment conducive enough before introducing laptops?

deomelo:
Very ignorant question.

You questions mean you don't know anything and you do not follow current affairs.

They've commissioned power plants with at least 1000MW added with many more under construction including the 3050MW Mambilla left on the drawing board which is about to get off the ground.

Through Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, Government Empowerment & Enterprise Programme (GEEP). PEBEC and MSME clinics all over the country, they gave out over N15 billion worth of loans to Nigerians.

And say whatever you desire about tradermoni, it's still a business loan scheme hundreds of thousands of Nigerians are benefiting from.

deomelo:
Another ignorant rant and comparison.

Oil-related resources are not state-owned in the countries you are talking about. And where they are, the government is in control from Saudi Arabia and beyond

dominusgai:
So are we enjoying at the moment? Or you call an increase in yahoo enjoyment, or paying graduates #30,000 enjoyment, or massive close down of small scale businesses enjoyment. Please let me have your definition of enjoyment.

micky22:
Does it mean that the masses have no choice? But to continue to support these failed parties?

Again Kadaria was never biased. She got her facts right. She represented and well expressed the disappointment of the masses in APC and PDP.
Nigerian youths, why do you allow these self-centered septuginarians with analog brains that have proven times and times again of their ineptitude to offer anything good to the well being of the masses, to tie your brains down?
Shine your eyes, Let us wake up, take up this giant step and vote AAC. Sowore 2019.

KingOfThisnDat:
Nigerians love to suffer. Look at them ready to put Atiku, FFK, RENO, Fayose, Saraki, and co back in power. You people are a lost cause.
