I share your view. This dispensation is in no way serious about anti corruption. We will know when GEJ led federal govt has really decided to fight corruption. The jamboree we witness now is one of the numerous proofs that GEJ is banking on goodluck to lead a country that has been bedeviled by a group of corrupt people of which Bank-ole is the least on the list.

As for EFCC, I hope everyone understands that it is toothless, compromising and highly dependent. Its activities are regulated by the federal govt. Therefore the reason for its abysmal performance over time is simply because the ruling govt wants it so. PERIOD!

May God severely punish Bank-ole for ever seeking bail on self recognition of criminality. He is a certified thief who basks in the smiling glory of truncating the future of the youths. May his smiling, ugly jaw be yanked off. May his shameless body putrefy in jail and may his cursed soul occupy the hottest part of hell fire forever and ever.

Father OBJ! Next time you want to assuage yourself with such costly national portfolio, first find out if anybody gives a damn. It hurts to think of you.

Does anyone realize that Nigerian youths are gradually turning to talkative and silent complainants over the way the country has been run by criminals in the guise of leaders?

Could it be that the so called leaders cast some form of spell on the youths and then sit back, relax and smile at their ever-growing stolen wealth at the expense of the wealth of the nation?

Brothers and sisters, is it not time to defy all odds and really do something instead of mere expression of how bad we feel over the situation? Someone may ask me what I have done myself, but a pool of workable ideas is better than one man's thoughts. Please what do we do?

A band wagon of thieves; LEGISLOOTERS indeed.

@Kanto
I naturally understand your fury

The so called corruption of the masses is just a fractional reflection of the leaders' corruption. The leaders are so called because of their model functions. They lead , others follow. In Nigeria where the leaders are brazenly above the law, the masses quickly got the message and then believe that it is unlawful to be law-abiding in a lawless society.

Nigerian masses are the most governable people on the face of the earth but our leaders have been leading us wrongly and it is automatic to tow their line. Remember that it took Buhari/Idiagbon junta just 3 months to change the psyche and behavioural pattern of Nigerians. Therefore, the attitude of the leaders determine the altitude of the masses.

Before the elections, I harped on the reasons we do not need any PDP- led government at all but some people on NL sincerely called for my head. Well, most people on that list are corruption certified elements and since the eventual choices must come from that list, we can be sure to have corrupt cabinet.

How long will it take us to know that nothing good can ever come out of PDP. 1999 till now is not enough. Let's cross our fingers and be watching even those who voted GEJ and not PDP. The fact is that PDP is a template of corruption where no leader can fair well.

The emir is not well-informed to know that political power is quite different from religious power and the former is supreme. Someone should educate the northern figurehead.

That is PDP for you. We are very unfortunate to have been badly inflicted by this party since 1999. The problem is not that the money cannot be traced. But the person or group of persons the money is traced to (tracee) equally have detailed dark information about the tracer and his immediate cohorts. Do you remember that an entire ship has lost in this country?

Observers can only give a low whistle of shock at the intricate and interconnectedness of the web of corruption in Nigeria, orchestrated by PDP. My brothers, it is worse than we think. That is why I personally find it difficult to attach credence to the fact that GEJ can fight down corruption in the country ,being a participant member of PDP.  Afterall, he (GEJ) was recently quoted as directing Ajumobi not to probe Alaoo Akala. PDP has clearly been a curse to an endowed country like ours.

It is only death that can separate OBJ from Nigeria politics. He simply wants to leave the front screen and operate from behind the screen.

We all know the operational meaning of the word "slash". but they are only deceiving us. Any day the PDP led govt is ready to do anything meaninful, we will know without being told. I weep for my country which is cursed with bad leaders. Every member of National Assembly should know that he or she is an instrumentation of curse.

What we call TRUST in a relationship does not exist. It is a figment of our imagination to pretend that everything is okay and then stick together in a relationship which its balance tilts precariously towards clandestine infidelity. My friends, If God should open your eyes to see what goes on behind the screen and to know the things men do then surely, you never know with women.

The general advice from everyone, even the unfaithful s, is that there should be 100% trust- no matter what. Please while using the veil called TRUST to sheepishly keep your relationship going, you should know it is not what it seems. My opinion therefore is that I will NEVER allow the situation of the subject of this post. Even, if anything is done without my knowledge, it is better than being an accessory to my own dishonour.

From my point of view, It has nothing to do with religion. It is largely political. The Hausa leaders purposely keep on retarding the mentality of the ill-fated militia called 'Almajiris' because such zombies are used to perpetuate violence which is the political culture of the north.

That is why violent lines were spotted in some pre- election political statements of Atiku and Buhari. The north hate it when they are not in power and can kill any number of people to be in power. However, they use religious ethos to propel the uninformed and God-forsaken 'Almajiris' to effect political violence.

GEJ may mean well but the corruption in the power sector is above his reach. There are people who gain huge economic windfall from the comatose power situation in this country. Those powerful people are the owners of refineries outside the country which includes some of our past leaders who MUST frustrate any progressive move in this regard and GEJ is aware of this fact. Therefore it becomes ideal to continue the culture of heaping hope on the people while waiting to see how it all plays out.

The day you hear that the federal govt has made practical steps towards refining our crude oil within the country, then the real solution to fixing the power sector has begun in earnest. That is where our dear president should start from and not rhetoric like; road map, mega watts, national grid etc. Anything short of that is mere gimmick. Believe it or not.

Good governance has nothing whatsoever to do with any socio-religious affiliation. Spirituality is different from reality in this secular era. That is why some far east countries and Asian Tigers like; Japan, China etc  practically worship what we might call idols but their good governance is envied by many countries. Please let us leave shadow alone and pursue the object.

Guyz please stop attacking the Mallam. The PDP-led govt which employed Ribadu as EFCC boss used its backward system to ensure he was unsuccessful. Despite that , he still made himself relevant to a reasonable extent. He would not have been even noticed by UN if he was that bad. Please let the Mallam be.

@seanet02 . One day in your very long life, you will realize that you insulted the wrong people. You have every reason to be very careful. You ve got to be very careful indeed.

I keep praying for the repose of the soul of this innocent man but I want to ask if 5th May is his natural or official deathday?

Medically, the cranium capacity of a home-based rodent is higher than that of a rhino.

Next time you seek a related piece of advice, please visit your pastor and don't publicize your naivety. This site is for more important issues.

In the first instance, the solution to our educational woes does not lie on duplication of universities but to sustain on the numerous existing ones in terms of adequate infrastructural update, quality personnel based on proficiency and integrity, efficient database of students coupled with graduation plan etc.

Being what they are and will always be, unless by God's intervention, PDP uses such mouth-watering contracts to settle one another. You guys will marvel if you know the group of thieves this contracts were given. In the same vein, an unnecessary contract of #69b for a few kilometer runway of Nnamdi Azikiwe int'l airport was recently awarded by PDP govt. As if they do not know what Nigerians really need.

One should not blame those running to save dear lives. They are aware that they live amidst the so called 'northern brothers' who are the most barbaric and uncivilized wandering-band idiots on the face of the earth. However, what bothers me stiff is why the southerners are still up there and at the same time love their lives.

Come to think of it, must the southerners always be victims to the God-forsaken, 'Zombie militia' called Almajiris? It hurts so much that a sect of the country is paying so much for unity which can never be attained. The 'one Nigeria' message has made some people great loosers.

Why is it this difficult to effect a merger of the major opposition parties: ACN, CPC and ANPP but it was very easy for them to reach a consensus to carry out a boycott alliance of the BON debate session?

My fellow Nigerians, it is high time we made a choice that have a lot to do with our future. We all know what corruption has done to this country under the tutelage of PDP. If GEJ is that good as professed in some quarters (though ignorantly), he should please leave this party that is evidently made up of evil-personified crop of graveyard men who believe so much in sucking the blood of the suffering masses. GEJ may mean well but since he is obviously surrounded by stronger vampires who we all know very well, and since he (GEJ) cannot wriggle himself out of their evil strongholds, then the electorates need to examine their heads before gambling with another precious 8 years of their future with PDP.

Still talking on corruption, Ribadu is in a loose sense perceived an anti-corruption icon (EFCC) but we all know the background of all his activities. In addition to many of his inappropriate anti-corruption moves, he once touted Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the most corrupt Nigerian. I do not know how he will reconcile the statement with the fact that Tinubu is now his boss(GOD FATHER).

If corruption is not wiped out or drastically reduced, we will not only remain the same but get worse. I therefore strongly suggest that we vote against corruption by voting for BUHARI whom we are sure will wipe out all the corrupt elements in our system. He is a man not tied with any political corruption affiliation or the subordinate link of god-fatherism . If this feat of eliminating corruption is achieved in 4 years, we must have created a solid foundation 4 the development of other sectors. Time 4 tribal sentiments is over. Let's get it right this time by thinking 4 the future of our children even if we fail to think 4 our own future.
