This is what we get when we have a president that does not know the definition of corruption
adenigga: President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday called for the establishment of an International Anti-Corruption Court to try offenders, while urging African leaders to intensify the fight against corruption, and create more disincentives for pilfering of public funds. Buhari, who is the African Anti-Corruption Champion, made the call in his recorded remark to celebrate the African Day of Anti-Corruption.
This was made known in a statement to Naija News signed by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.
The President praised African leaders for gains so far recorded in the fight against corruption in the continent.
He admonished that efforts must be intensified to prosecute offenders and collect resources that had been stored in other countries.
“Distinguished participants and fellow African leaders, corruption is evil and all efforts at tackling it are desirable. I have monitored the fight against corruption in Africa and I can see both successes and drawbacks. The battle must continue for the sake of the continent and its people no matter the difficulties.
“In Nigeria, the fight against corruption has been vigorous since 2015. A lot has been achieved in the areas of arrest, prosecution, conviction, asset recovery and anti-corruption laws.
“I must admit that the fight has not been a bed of roses. Truly, a lot of more work in many fronts is required. For example, civil and public servants must be ethical and professional at all times. The private sector must contribute in curving corruption. The international community needs to close safe havens. The judiciary requires more impetus. Perhaps, an International Anti-corruption Criminal Court is needed,” he said.
Buhari said family and religious values will have to be upgraded, and schools have a lot of work to do for a better society.
“I am extremely delighted to address the participants as we celebrate the Africa Day of Anti-Corruption. Distinguished participants, we have come a long way in the fight against corruption in Nigeria and Africa in general.
“May I use this opportunity to appreciate fellow African leaders for their individual and collective efforts in fighting corruption on our continent. I appreciate all of you for the confidence reposed in me being the Africa Champion on Anti-Corruption.
“I understand that the theme for 2022 is ‘Strategy and Mechanisms for the Transparent Management of Covid-19 Funds, Lessons from the Pandemic.’ In Nigeria, we responded to the Covid-19 Pandemic swiftly and having tamed it, we have realized the need for more awareness campaigns on health issues and more investment in the health sector. Again, service delivery requires checkmating corruption,” he added.
The President told African leaders that “we must get rid of corruption in Africa if the continent is to realize its full potentials.”
“I have come to realize that nations in Africa have to ensure that national resources are not taken to safe havens around the world and we must curtail Illicit Financial Flows in all its ramifications. Also, we must work collectively to recover all resources taken abroad. We must show looters that crime does not pay by depriving them of the proceeds of their crime.
“Also, elite greed and irresponsibility must be eradicated in Africa. Again, ethics, decency, decorum and respect for rule of law must be promoted in Africa. It is important to develop strategies for behavioral change in Africa if corruption is to be tamed. This will ensure that national resources are allowed to serve the population and not a tiny few,” he added.
He also said Anti-Corruption Agencies must be empowered and allowed to deliver on their mandates.
“In Nigeria, I am very proud of our Anti-Corruption Agencies, our law enforcement agencies and our regulatory bodies for their efforts at checking criminality including corruption. I very deeply appreciate them for their sacrifices,” the President said.
President Buhari noted that the fight against corruption must be sustained for the benefit of present and future generations.
“Our youths have no place to go and live with dignity but in Africa. As I am leaving office next year, I am proud to leave behind a legacy of fighting corruption among others.
“Personally, I abhor corruption and I will render my best in or out office to get rid of corruption in Nigeria and Africa in general. I urge our youths to join me in this noble cause,” he said.
He urged African leaders to work together at whatever level to get rid of corruption in Africa, adding “Posterity will judge us right if we deal with corruption as appropriate.”
Aburada: Sounds like a good news. This is the chance for the Igbos to taste the presidency and it can only be done through massive voting. If they miss this chance because they don't come out to vote in numbers and support their fellow man, then they deserve everything being done to them in Nigeria political space.
And to the other tribes, isn't it hypocrisy to be depriving a particular region of power yet we claim to be one Nigeria and hell bent on not allowing them go their own way?
Whether Peter Obi does well or not e no concern me. What I know is that they deserve a chance.
Let's give them the chance so that when we talk about how spoilt this country is in the future. No tribe will exempt themselves.
To me I believe Nigeria has been destroyed beyond repair. But in fairness and Igbo man deserves the chance and there's no better time than now.
PETER OBI AND LABOUR PARTY ALL THE WAY!!!
When are u guys going to have sense and stop this ur tribal war? Let we all have it in mind that we are firstly Nigerian before we call our self....ibo, yoruba, Hausa, Please let learn from Rwanda. In Rwanda u dear not call urself hutu or tusi and anyone that dear address himself as tusi will end in jail. Although my vote still go for obi oooo but if the ibos still continue to have this kind of stupid mentality it may affect obi vote so please let just stop this because no one has the sectional leadership help. we all face the hardship now, Just look at it from this angle does the ibo buys their commodity from separate market? no, Does yoruba buys from separate market? ...no Does Hausa buys thing from deferent market?...no Let's all be obedient. OBI FOR PRESIDENT
If you like brand him as terrorist, obi is far better than you people that kill innocent people and send there cops with trailer down south, so to us that want a new Nigeria, Obi still remain the incoming 16th president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
Good day. Please can you give me the difference between infniti 2012 and honda pilot 2012 or toyota high lander 2012, Point of concern. Fuelling mentainance And capacity I mean the strongness.
iLegendd: I'm not sick. I'm only jobless and broke.
Light, food, happiness, exercise, p**sy, etc. is not a problem — they're all free over here. Unfortunately, with all these free things, I'm hardly hungry. Is this a sign of depression?
I sleep too much nowadays and I always go to bed with empty stomach even though there is food. I even had to dispose my okra soup I spent lots of money to cook because it's irritating me. What is wrong?
My lovely wife and I have been married for almost 2 years now. I know I am not a perfect person and she is not too but we have been managing.
Why I opened this thread is that I am very afraid of her new attitude of always carrying weapons anytime we have a misunderstanding.
It started when I found out she had an abortion without telling me and when I confronted her she flared up and started behaving like a tout jumping here and there.
On Friday last week we were discussing about how to go about the new business I want to set up for her and somehow we got into an argument and she ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
Again, this morning I simply asked her to waybill some foodstuffs to her father as I wouldn't be able to do that before heading to my place of business and she grabbed my clothes and started calling me names, next thing she picked up the belt hanging on the wardrobe and started threatening to teach me a lesson.
I have never been a woman beater and honestly don't know what has gotten into her. We have a pending issue we are yet to sort out but still I am keeping my calm why is she the one suddenly going violent??
Please what do I do? I don't want blood on my hands because if I touch her it will be very bad. My marriage is still young.
ChiomaCa: Hello everyone, I'm in need of an advice, I got married to a man 5yrs+ ago. He relocated some months after marriage to Canada, I went to meet him 2 years after. And we had a baby 10months after my arrival. Immediately I arrived his place, I noticed he flirt alot onlline, Sex chats, Video sex chats, Visit porn sites, visit Prostitue Sites, and the rest. I caught him red-handed twice and he begged and pleaded not to do such again. I forgive him and I believe maybe because of the distance we had in two years.
We move on and I promise myself not to even go near his Laptop or mobile phone anymore.
I adhered to that for more than a year, which I'm still doing that till December 23 of 2021.
My daughter threw his I-watch inside water. Then I picked it up to drain for some minutes, after I drianed, I realised a message popped up , which Read " Do you enjoy me yesterday Do I book you for tomorrow again"
I was forced to check what's this. I saw hell. In short, he visited two different Prostitues in a hotel to book 30 minutes session with them for $160 and $220, I also saw other messages asking for Anal sex from these Escorts. I realised, he visited them 3rd, 1st 22nd of December. During these period, I was the one begging him for sex. He said he's not interested that he's Fixed with many activities and Shifts at work.
I was in the house hopping my husband as gone to work, not knowing he's doing something else within his short break and free time.
Immediately I saw this, I was devastated,I was mad at my self. We are very religious. Why all these for God sake, this is the 3rd time, what have I done to myself, have made a wrong choice?
I called his brother back in Nigeria and I inform and sent all what I saw to him, he called and talked to him, the next day, my husband came to me, apologize and promised not to do that again. I accept and forgive him.
Few days ago, I have been having this kind of feeling, I feel like I'm not beutiful because why will my husband prefer a Prostitue than me.
I hate myself, I think about it every minutes, whenever I see him, my mind keep breathing fast. I'm sad and I'm not happy, I don't know what to do.
I can't discuss with my parents, because they see my husband as the most religious person.
He doesn't talk much, keep friends nor drink.
I need advice dear mummy and daddy please is this a red light?
Psychokinetic: How much dangerous stupidity can an online Fulani terrorist like yourself display??! Last I checked the duty of the Nigerian Armed Forces of which the Nigerian Army is included is to protect the citizens against external threats (foreign invaders, terrorists) and not killing off unarmed innocents!
But is d law stated that the citizen must be a tret to d security actitecture
Elbinawi: I saw someone campaigning for VP Osinbajo & I replied him:
VP Osinbajo is more evil than the genocidal criminal Tyrant Buhari. Tyrant Buhari is an illiterate barbarian but Osinbajo is educated and a Pastor. The fact that he is part of this genocidal regime underlined the extent of his evilness.
A responsible person will immediately resign from the genocidal Buhari regime after the Zaria Massacre which is the biggest massacre in the history of the Nigerian state as more than one thousand innocent men, women, children and infants were brutally slaughtered by the Nigerian army in less than 72 hours. #ZariaGenocide
For a highly educated person with religious background like Osinbajo to remain in this genocidal regime that burnt and buried innocent children ALIVE underlined the level of his monstrous evilness.

This guy must be sick up stir. When ur solcall religious follower choose to be stupid to attack a serving general on official assignment then they have no choice than to show them that they are more stupid than them by teaching them the definition of power and the chief of army staff in the language they understand ARMY IS TRAIN TO KILL U DONT QUESTION THEIR AUTHORITY OKAY.........

kutashi: He gave perfect account of how Adogan was killed and Alfa was killed while he peeping out of the window or when he was marched out of the house? And the killing of both was done inside the house! Also, he was able to count 87 vehicles under duress saying his last prayer! He knows exactly the number of soldiers and even, the state of origin of some DSS. Alaare! 'Shame no dey even catch this nollywood script writer and his Sakamajereporters.com' by praising their runway warlord that was crying like a baby in Local governent sized country called Benin republic! You will soon go back for part 2 of your story!
Ok let talk on watz app quote author=famagro post=106960917]Used set comprising of the expeller, dryer and the filter press for sale at Ifo, ogun state. Minimal repairs needed on the units.[/quote]
You have a very good point bro, But the northern stile of politics still the major issue that is giving this country a set back, ok tell me now where on earth will a proff of law will be a vice to someone that does not have at least BSC. go to ministry too' you will see a lot of half bake university product being a boss to the fully bakes ones all in the name of coater system, The best solution to all this is to restructure or let every region go their separate way.
What do u expect when a country is been rule by a leader that does not have future abi what is the future of buari@80+
Zikojukwu: These are southern Kaduna people wasted by Fulanis few days ago and you want to us to share a country with beasts. God forbid! If the lives of these do not matter, what makes you think your lives matter? Who are the killers? Have they been arrested or ready to kill more? Aren't you worried? The best decision Igbos and Yoruba have made is to leave this death zone and protect their children. It is not about ethnicity, it is a matter of life. We can't afford to watch our people die like this. This is the north that is championing Nigeria unity but watch Fulanis kill freely every day. No, we can't share this type of country. We're not vampires.
