wirinet: I know you guys can defend Jonathan till death, but it is a big lie that Jonathan was right in the context he said the statement. Jonathan was not lecturing Nigerians thesaurus usage of stealing,
This was what your messiah said; "There is no corruption but mere stealing in Nigeria”
Even Jonathan in explaining why he said that did not quote thesaurus, he put the blame on the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mustapha.
This is his own excuse;
Please note the the then chief justice of Nigeria did not come out publicly to defend the statement that stealing is not corruption.
wirinet: You guys are just attempting to dig your self out of a hole and the hole has grown so big that it has swallowed you guys and you cannot find a way out.
What do you call it when monies allocated for public projects are diverted into private pockets - mere stealing?
What do you call it when monies for projects are inflated by 1000% and the monies are shared between government functionaries and the contractor - mere stealing?
What do you call it when $16 billion dollars is allocated and released for power and not one 1kwatt is added to the national grid - mere stealing?
What do you call it when over N70 million is allocated and paid for design of a website - mere stealing?
What do we call it when billions of dollars is paid as petrol subsidy without any evidence that any ship brought in any petrol - mere stealing?
Maybe that is why nobody is prosecuted for "mere stealing " in Nigeria as should be charged and prosecuted for corruption instead.
Its called stealing not corruption, this is what all this brahaha is all about.
Jonathan never said "there is no corruption but mere stealing in Nigeria."
If he did provide a link where he said that.
This is what he said: “Over 70% of what are called corruption (cases), even by EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) and other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but common stealing.”
And then the ICPC boss, Nta, reiterated it by saying, "stealing is erroneously reported as corruption even by educated Nigerians"
You are clearly one of the people Nta was talking about.
Bbbbbbbbbbbb: Clap for yourself bro. You must be the arithmetic man; you add trouble, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance.
I spend all my time in the romance section because that's the most fun part of Nairaland. After working hard and the stress of Lagos (Job, Traffic et al) one needs to unwind and that's why that's the only section I go to fool around and have fun.
Dude I have far better things to do than argue with the likes of you. Continue living in your stupidity
MORNDEW: So stealing by your definition is not corruption? So as it is alleged that David Mark and Ekweremadu acquired national assembly houses secretly, it's stealing not corruption and effcc should not go after them. Or that it doesn't matter? Cos from ur definition, what they did was stealing.
What they did is classed as corruption, hence the EFCC should go for them.This wa what GEJ was trying to say but people with small head jumped the gun, when a police man accept bribe on the highway thats corruption, when you pay to get a job thats corruption, when armed robbers take ur money and properties on same highway its stealing.Educated people should give crime its real name,The reason EFCC is losing most of its case in the court of law is often due to technical reasons which you are confirmed amongst as such right about now. If money goes missing in an office, its stealing If they the thieves now have to give EFCC money so they do not get investigated thats corruption.
MORNDEW: Yes. If you think otherwise, let's hear you disect that.
Stealing involves one group getting what they want (unlawful) Corruption involve causing others to behave in a certain way, typical example, a corrupt traffic officer, you give him money to let you go for not having a driving licence. Stealing, one party is not always aware,corruption both parties are and are happy. There is a big difference btw stealing and corruption in Law, and our everyday life.Educated people are meant to know the difference. Proper definition
Stealing to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force Corruption :a : dishonest or illegal behavior especially by powerful people (such as government officials or police officers) , depravity , inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (such as bribery)
MORNDEW: Is there anything we Crucified GEJ for, that has not Happened in this Administration? This was an article I saw on front page this morning https://www.nairaland.com/4405472/there-anything-crucified-gej-hasnt. As usual, the comments showed the lack of intelligence and the childish nature of the average politics section nairalander. Let me not write long epistles but below are things we Crucified GEJ for, that has not Happened in this Administration
1. Immigration Job Scam: The last administration wasted the lives of over 19 graduates and injured hundreds in a nonexistent immigration Job after collecting #1000 application fee from the applicant. The culprit in that she of shame Abba Moro, was left untouched.
2. Depleted Foreign Reserve: My friends, may our lives not be depleted the way the former administration depleted our foreign reserve. The administration of the ineffectual buffoon inherited $47.7 but depleted and squandered it to about $29 before leaving office. This came at a time when oil price was high.
3. Seized Aircraft carrying military weapons: In a show of shame and national disgrace, an aircraft belonging to a man who goes pastor Ayo Oritsejafor and loaded with military weapons was seized by SouthAfrican Authorities because it was illegally used in acquiring military weapons. Reporters agreed that the said aircraft had former militant leader Asari Dokubo on board. Where in the world do military weapons get acquired using a former rebel and the aircraft of a funny looking man of God? Only in the last administration.
4. Upsurge of Boko Haram: The former administration of the Kindergarten president saw the upsurge of Boko Haram. The terrorists, seized and controlled territories in Nigeria almost the size of Belgium. The terrorists grew from strength to strength. Institutions were easily bombed. UN building, Thisday building, St. Theresa Catholic Church etc. Abuja the Federal capital territory was not spared. Today BH has been decimated and confined to a hideout with pockets of attacks.
5. Borrowing to pay salaries: in continuation of the show of shame of the former administration, The former administration was borrowing to pay salaries at a time of many. A serious government borrow to develop infrastructure not to pay salaries.
6. Arrest of Opposition leaders before Elections. The kindergarten former administration made it a habit to arrest opposition leaders before elections. A day to the election in Osun State, opposition leaders like Lai Mohammed were arrested and detained till after the election. El-Rufai was arrested and detained in Anambra on the day of the governorship election. Same thing with Ekiti state election where arm banded military men were used to rig election.
7. Stealing is not corruption: The former accidental public servant, on a live media chat said stealing was not corruption. The body language and utterances of the former president upsurged corrupt practices and made it look like a culture.
8. Crass Crude First Lady: The former weak President had no control of the wife, who made mockery of her role as the wife of the president. A woman who threw decorum to the gutters and behaved like 17th century cave women. She went ahead to impose candidates and even acted like the president of the country as was observed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his book.
9. Release of Chibok girls: girls were kidnapped in Chibok and a president who went to dance later could not release them until this administration. It took this administration tactics and experience to release the girls the former administration could not.
You see, one thing is to criticize this present administration for its short coming on different national issues but trying to compare this administration with the last amounts to insult on intelligent Nigerians. The last administration was a disaster. Given the circumstances and same scenario before 2015 presidential election, reverse that same election Nigerians would still elect president Buhari.
Nairaland has lost all forms of credibility by allowing illiterates to roam here polluting this place with their illiteracy hence it now looks like every Nigerian is that way. Stupid unintelligent comments now get likes and the illiterates are urged on by those likes to make more damaging comments that looks like it's the right thing.
one thing is to come here and show your shallowness and another thing is to face facts and reality. That you get likes from nonsense does not make it normal. People come here to disgrace their families and themselves and think it's the right thing.
Forgive me for missed punctuations and mistakes cos I just took time from my busy schedule to write this and set the records straight. And to also show that there are people on this forum who don't easily forget.

OP so stealing is corruptiom from your own school of thought or you chose to be delibratly ignorrant??
Shugarlord213: Someone should help me out here, I met this dude online and he showed me a car Toyota Camry 2000 and that the car is going for 300k. Just that the only problem is the AC. That it needs to be refilled.
Some questions I need answered by my professionals here
1)How much does a AC Camry cost 2)is there any possibility that I am going to be scammed. Because the dude sounded so genuine
The car is in Ogun State meanwhile I told him I was at Lagos. (Am abt Edo)He even insisted I come for inspection. I no wan waste money and time
EagleScribes: Very soon, person go talk say potholes dey affect hin wiper and plugs
yes nah, so U dnt know my friend had 1st hand xperience he went for oil change, and his car had upgraded wiper he got in a bad hole on the road that shokle him bad, wen he got home he could not find his wipers, Now what removed it, hole or kazeeem> we still dey wait!
HoodBillionaire: this shud be for sedan/saloon car users suvs like 4runners highlanderz crvs hummer fj cruiser etc nor fey affect them. d babanla of height toyota sequio dah one na trailer dey climb on top pot hole lile say na water.
Yoyostic: I've had experienced leaking radiator with an SUV due to terrible port hole.I was impatient and didn't slow down hence the radiator shifted from it's base.Had a terrible overheating after wards. Other parts of vehicle that could be damaged as well are fuel filter and oil filter,if the vehicle is very low. Most[b] ladies don[/b]'t know anything about car parts,I didn't too not until hubby travelled and I had to deal with mechanics directly.
Yes this is true, kazeems tak advantage of this and just name parts that has nothing to do with the fault at hand.I had to scream over the phone to a mechanic who was talking ECU change instead of fob battery change to my Mrs.Your radiator is above the sub frame of ur car, its also above the sway bar.These are rigid and high streghnt bars and forms part of your car chasis.
ogbiwa: Thank you for following @luvinhubby. But from your posts do you really read the story or just here to look for loopholes? Did you see where I said that by now it was getting to 3pm. And we're in Ewu Edo state, not even gotten to Auchi. To get transport to Auchi from there is almost like a 30mins wait. Then by the time you get to Auchi by 4-5pm what car will be going to Abuja by that time of day?
Guy relax nah joke we all dey joke.joke . If we nor yab U like this the story nor go sweet . You know wen u dey cook soup nah different mede mede u dey put so nah we B dat kontinu
ogbiwa: There's actually a hole in the bolt where you insert a metal wire after fixing the nut. I think the problem was that the nut he bought was not threaded properly that was why it pulled
There is no seperate nut for that ball joint, it comes with its own nut called a castle Nut.
ogbiwa: For the record the moment the joint pulled was the very first time I heard any noise from that area. If this has happened to you you'll agree that it very rarely gives any warning. The car's only issue prior to the journey was minor overheating as I said
I dont agree with you, the vast majority of Nigerians are carefree, thier maintaiance culture ends with Oil change,Spark plug change and Oil filter,if you have checked your suspensions on your last service you would have known its due for change.if you car is over 10 years and its still with its original drive shaft and lower plus upper control arms, change tham all.
hulkaman: Please I have an issue with my mazda 6 2005 v6. Ever since a Kazeem fixed my ac and rewired one of the fans, the car jerks violently when put in gear and goes off..the jerk is so violent I thought the whole engine seat was coming off..please help with any good mazda electrician
when you say rewire the fan did you mean direct connection of the FAN?
obmade: Ok guys. So today is the first time I ever did enjoy driving my car since I got it in November 2017! I want to say a Huge ‘Thank you’ to all the contributors on Nairaland who give quality advice on Car Matters. I have silently been reading, reviewing and correlating different contributions and these have helped me in recognizing anomalies that could be present in a car.
Ikenna always talks about Lions, lol (Peugeot)! Mine is just a Kitty Cat! How do I know? This is because, today we helped him to become calm . . . Now he purrs very nicely, instead of the previous distressed roaring (when he is not a Lion).
I drive a 2009 Corolla (US Spec). When I got it, I didn’t know the ride’s radiator fan was connected directly (that is, they by-passed the fan control module). Every time I start the vehicle, the engine would roar to life, and keep roaring (I diagnosed and got error codes saying “timing is over-advanced”). Of cos it was over advance! Unlike non-sensor cars that you could just adjust the throttle cable, tinker here and there to get the right setting, I didn’t want anyone tinkering here and there on my Corolla, lol. I asked mechanics for explanation towards possible solution till I got tired. Then I encountered Nairaland contributors (Worldwide famous cc Gazzuzz, cc Ikenna, and many other popular resourceful contributors). I learned here that by-passing the ‘fan control module’ is not a good thing to do (Meanwhile, 96.888888888% of our mechanics (As you guys funnily call them “Kazeems”, lol) believe they are saving the world when they advise motorists to trash thermostat and connect fan directly!) That direct connection had been my problem all along! At car start, my engine always struggles to attain optimum temperature for efficient performance, but the constantly running fan won’t let it! In order to counteract the fan, the engine would trigger an advanced timing in order to get the engine to heat up and attain optimum temperature. This in turn caused my car to roar, guzzle fuel and make me feel dissatisfied overall.
Today, I decided I would get a good electrician to revert the status quo. Guys, the eleco who came highly recommended turned out to be a KAZEEM! He started with the whole ‘As your fan be, na the best. Naija temperature too hot!’ I tried to get him to see reason, but he argued on behalf of Africa! Two other people I met were stuck on the same false argument. Eventually, I got one to do my wish . . . And Voila, Advanced Timing is no more!
Thanks so much guys, I really appreciate you guys. And please, there’s got to be a way that the sea of unqualified mechanics can be salvaged, on behalf of the unsuspecting Nigerian car owners. Maybe, if mechanic associations exists, group training can be given on workings of recent cars! Just saying.
Thank God you experienced it 1st hand, if you tell most guys they will think you are talking BS. Africa is Hot indeed!
wecker: It's comes through the normal road the only thing there is,we only don't do customs duty in border here.dis how the process goes wonce you see what you want you make your payment and we process the customs document at Lagos apapa so before the cars gets to border the next day your customs duty will be ready to bring your car down for you to any of your location successfully.
