I don't care if they post the names of their corrupt officials, I am not going to protect my own, because they are from the same tribe as me. Come to Abia and see the widespread looting that both Orji Kalu and T.A. Orji have done to my state. I can only weep.

They have caused so many problems, that the state is the laughing stock in the entire South-East. Corrupt officials only deserve death in my eyes. How can you bankrupt a state, when there is so much suffering. I cannot comprehend how a person can be immune to the suffering around them and still loot without a guilty conscious. It leaves a distaste in my mouth. All the names that I mentioned are guilty of this.

Heads need to roll

Please, when issues pertaining to by-products of day-dreaming such as revolution in Nigeria appear on Nairaland, I beg you to apply caution to your fingers and temperament before posting the names of your people whom you presumed corrupt. If these names you have posted are the only corrupt personages in Nigeria, you have no business talking about revolution talk less partaking in one.

Since your last post, I guess you have not seen names of presumed corrupt personalities posted by other contributors to this forum. It does not mean that corrupt politicians are limited to one section of country. Rather it is exercise of prudent on the part of contributors.

The wise person is not the person that makes the loudest noise in deliberation but the person who try to understand others so that he/she could be understood. When everybody laughs, he/she who exposes his/her teeth is caught as cause of the laughter.

There is no doubt that revolution could have been a solution to certain societal decadence if Nigeria had been disintegrated into several nation states. But as Nigeria is presently configured, revolution is as good as figments of wild imagination.

We can’t even curb financial extortion amongst the Police Force, whose Officers openly accept bribes, so who do we intend to use to carry out the arrests, PLEEEEASE

@Knowall,

what you are saying is so true, and I have campained tirelessly for transparency and accountability. The common man is si fooled that he is prepared to accept anything at any cost.

Why should Nigerias Voters registeration be the most expensive in the world and if we are being frank, and we have to learn to, the Job done was rubbish. Some would suggest that a more effective excersize could have been carried out with a fraction of the cost and with a much better and confident outcome

why should we be importing dustbin from the UK? The questions are too much, but as usual, people will duel on sentiments rather than facts and reality

Ghana and Brazil on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Accra to construct a 9,000 megawatt (MW) capacity hydroelectric dam on River Oti, at Juallay near Pwalugu in the Upper East Region.

Construction of the dam, which has been on the drawing board since 1992, is part of measures being instituted by government for additional 3,000 MW to the current national installed capacity of 2,000 MW.

Work is expected to begin next year at an initial cost of $300 million, with the Brazilian government providing $250 millio and $50 million by the government of Ghana.

Dr Joe Oteng-Adjei, Minister of Energy who signed for Ghana, said other thermal projects were underway to boost the country's energy sector.

The total cost of the project is $37.5 million. It is borne by the Government of Ghana and pre-financed by the contractor, M/S Amandi Investments.
It involves the acquisition of six coach 600 passenger capacity train and the rehabilitation of the railway stretch from Asoprochonaa at Sakumono.

With fanfare, the President, Ministers of State, Members of Parliament, traditional rulers, workers of the Ghana Railway Company, citizens and residents of Tema expressed joy at the completion of the project that would largely ease vehicular traffic congestion on roads from Accra to Tema, and make train services available and convenient for commuters.

President Mills also cut the sod for work to begin on the extension of the line, which currently terminates at the Tema Harbour to the Japan Motors factory at Community One.

Before taking a ride in the new train from Tema to Accra, President Mils told the inauguration party that the importance of rail transportation could not be underestimated.

President Mills said rail transport had opened up and developed major economies and Government, as part of its infrastructure expansion programme, is acting to give a new life to the nation's rail system.

He said his Administration continued with the project which started under the Kufuor Administration and acknowledged that governance is a continuous project, under which one Government continued from where the previous government's left off.

hahahahaha.

You see why the problem is hydra headed? Exempt private corruption? Why? You see why it is hard to deal with corruption? You can not tackle it on just one side alone - public and leave out the private. Not a solution.,

It is not only public officers that are corrupt. You will have to kill everyone to wipe corruption out in Nigeria. IMHO

SENTIMENTS APART, BB IS THE CLOSEST TO A REVOLUTION WE WOULD HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY. AND IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A REVOLUTION THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL VOTE FOR BB.

SE SHOULD JOIN THIS MINI REVOLUTION BY VOTING BB- JONATHAN HAS COMPROMISED TOO MUCH WITH CORRUPT PEOPLE EVEN GOING TO BEG IBB,CIROMA AND ATIKU, WHO ELSE JONATHAN GOING TO BEG THE " DEVIL" I SUPPOSE[/size].


? What is this with the title?

10,000? Then you dont know what corruption is in Nigeria. If you have experience Nigeria first hand, and not what you read in papers, you will know that 10,000 corrupt Nigerians is just a tip of the iceberg. We are talking about every Nigerian being corrupt. Killing only 10,000 is just doing a prelude to killing everyone.

How many will you kill? The Councillors in the local government offices? the the chairmen, the vice chancellors, the rectors, the permanent secretary, the NGOs, by the time you finish, everyone will be dead, including the hangman himself

All of these men are guilty in my eyes. The way I see things, members of the same ethnic group must carry out this action against their own. So each person should do so in their own respective regions

If Libya is so fantastic, then why are their people braving bullets to come out and protest? People think the place is so fantastic when in reality its not that different from Nigeria. Some people live in luxury while most have very little. They may not have the kind of abject poverty we have here, but their society is still very unequal. The petrodollars mostly end up in the pockets of a privileged few.

Oh and by the way, Nigeria is not a democracy. Democracy means the people have the power to change their government whenever they are unhappy with its performance. Can you name one state outside of Lagos where that is even remotely possible? Here, our leaders get chosen through political manipulation (e.g. Yar'Adua), backstabbing (e.g. Alao Akala) and rigging (e.g. everybody else). The people have nothing to do with it.

Nominal elections held for show don't make us a democracy any more than they made Mubarak a democrat. If the international community would allow it I'm sure the ruling class would rather skip the pretense, embezzle the INEC money and swear in GEJ after a PDP "family meeting".
