Men!!! the more this guy talks, the more I feel sorry for Nigerians. So by romancing criminals and setting free looters, you are fighting corruption? and who told him that the so-called software are fool proof? The real institutions of anti corruption (the police and Judiciary) are the ones you are weakening daily.

There will always be thieves and law breakers in society, hence we know that corruption can never be wiped out. But the most effective systems are the ones that punish perpetrators. If you know you will not get away with a crime (if caught) then the chances of you committing the crime will be reduced.

These utterances just proves Jonathan in not just clueless, but should be probed immediately he's booted out next month. What a disaster!!!!

VERY ON POINT, he talks about institutions, are softwares and ITs institutions? is it not people behind them? garbage in garbage out. if you're corrupt, you'll create softwares that would aid corruption, or you'll create a loophole in the software that'll help you steal faster. Example is our NYSC Directors who partnered with a corrupt company to defraud our corpers in 2014, and we've not forgotten the job scam that killed some youths

The institutions he met on ground, EFCC and ICPC, NAFDAC, how effective are they today?

Now my own analogy: if you sell fuel say N20 a liter and heard a rumour of strike looming you quickly hurd ur fuel and put a post no fuel at the peak period of the strike u sold it at N150 as against N20 is that stealing or corruption tell me

I know you Jonathanians are hardened, you'll do anything to promote your cluelessness. Oya teach me English, maybe there's a difference, maybe stealing is when a hungry poor guy posses someone else's money or properties or yahoo guy deceive someone to get away with his money while corruption is when a politician take advantage of his office to embezzle the common wealth of the people.

Definitely I agree with you, they're different. one is for the small thieves, the other for the big thieves, one they'll show you in crime fighters, the other they'll give you national honours and chieftancy titles

In Gej's voice 'STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION, PETTY STEALING THAT SMALL BOYS ARE DOING YOU'RE CALLING IT CORRUPTION, JOIN GOVERNMENT AND DO THE REAL THING'

Can't wait for CHANGE in FEBUHARI.

londoner:
Agreed, Jonathan should have shunned replying APC with 'like for like' insults. He should have risen above that.

If he is going to talk about anti corruption, he should have focused MUCH more on the measures he has taken, in detail and not just mention them. He should have let NIgerians know IN DETAIL what his plans are also for the future in this regard.


He had an opportunity to set his campaign apart and also get the NIgerian voters eyes back on the ISSUES.

Not the best start.

This man has been in power for 6yrs, what has he done against corruption? Oh he needs 50yrs to build institutions against corruption, the best campaign is the testimony of what you've done already, what's Jona's testimony?... maybe STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.

gunuvi:
Na U̶̲̥̅̊ know ooo. Thank God you said GEJ is a good man. Its still him till 2019 as there's no vacancy in aso rock yet...

We don't need a good man, we need a man that can make Nigeria progress,
We don't need a lucky man, we need someone who will bring goodluck to Nigeria
We don't need a clueless man, we need someone who has a crystal clear idea of what it takes to lead a nation as complex as Nigeria

I'm not necessarily a Buhari fan, but i'm ready to give someone else a chance.I'll vote for anything, as long as it's not Jonathan.

gunuvi:
Classic! How can someone be dancing around with Tinubu, Amaechi, Atiku and still saying he will fight corruption!!! Haba Buhari thinks we are blind or we are his cows?

You're as clueless as ur boss, has corruption cases been brought against these people? if the answer is NO, then you've no point. But check out the list of confirmed criminals that your boss released, including the ones who stole under his watch while he turned his face elsewhere, and you'll no why he'll be going back to Otuoke come February.

Moreover, if the people you listed here are truly corrupt, your boss should develop a spine and arrest them, Obasanjo put his own people to jail, tafa balogun, bode George, but Jona is such a good man, everybody is Free, he wants to build institutions to fight corruption, how long will that take? there's a reason while every developed nations in the world have prisons, it's because some people will just be animals, they'll need to be punished to teach others how to behave.

The sky no go choose the people he go fall on now! it falls on everyone, bring it on, we're Waiting.

why does her nose look like a compressed kpof kpof?

People here are very funny, if the girl no fine now, we no go here word, everybody will be shouting ugly, now it's a beautiful babe, you're picking out the nose, why have some people trained their eyes to only see negatives... and every part of ur own body is perfect?

, this man is a comedian

lacasa:
The same Soyinka that likened GEJ to the infamous king Nebudchanezzeir


Lols... I see the mods pushing this to the frontpage cos GEJ's feather is stroked @ the expense of other wonderful threads at the back

Issokay;- but still GMB to kick the thieving militant back to his otuoke


#Change Cannot be Delayed
#BuHarI winning 2015

This article is not written by Soyinka, he's only wrapped into it to give it credibility... what will these TAN people not do to achieve their goals?

Descartes:
These people cannot be trusted

Very treacherous.

Was he not the person that called GEJ Nebuchadnezzar the other day?

Or is he trying to redeem his image.

Wisdom is a function of Humility and indeed the Principle thing

dollarsplenty:
But RCCG could pray openly for GEJ in 2011 during a crusade within campaign period, when he was not the only christian candidate in the race.

Now that a redeem pastor and politician (Osibanjo) is against GEJ, the church policy has changed, abi?

Truly, redeem church no dey meddle with politics, they only meddle and lobby with politicians.

firstly, I'm not a redeem member, but you can't question the position of the G.O in the past politicsof Nigeria, these politicians comes to them and biblically it's instructed by God to pray for those in authority, more so when they come ask for it, it doesn't mean any endorsement in anyway, at least Buhari has also been there and he was accepted, pls let's always put things in the right perspective.

if you really care to know, the only way is to Test it.

ok

vicoloni:
Mr. Bakare pls go and sit down or better still go hug your pulpit. Though your assertions are true but am not impressed with its timing. Why after baba dropped his bombshell book?
Hypocrites dede.

He'd said this before Obj release his book, it's the Op that bringing back old news.

macjireh:
a team dat has GK as man of match against a dead Liverpool team is a SHAME, and yet they claim they will top my team later... Dreamers

seriously you people are crazy here!

While it is easy to condemn Orisajefor and his church, government don't also make things easy for the citizenry, you want to do something and you're seeking approval, it might take a century to get it, so sometimes people just go ahead and do what they want to do, the funny thing is that if Oritsejafor's church had not gone to lagos government, they might not even know he's building anything.

In naija, the abnormal is normal and the normal is the abnormal.

Ucheosefoh:
He need to ask his wife who that boy father is

He doesn't need to ask anything, how a kid looks is not dependent on the father alone, he can resemble the wife 100% as i resemble my mum, he can resemble his grandfather or grandmother absolutely from the father or mother side who may accidentally be blessed with gr8 looks and yea the baby's very cute.

fr3do:
Nonsense! Do you expect us to speak english exactly like the british? This is Nigeria and thats Nigerian english for you.
I expected you to criticize their horrible foreign accents.

If i read well, the writer is talking about journalists and media practitioners, not everyday Nigerians, of course the journalists should speak correct British English since that's our official Ligua Franca, it goes with the professionalism of the job, you can be cut some slack if you're not a journalist and make the mistakes.

Kudos to the Op, he sabi English well

MadCow1:
All your likes must be from Yoruba people..

In other words you're saying all your people are tribalistic, no i don't want to believe that,... only few of you are fools.

Azuist:
Kechi is right, sacking him will not solve the problem, infact it will make matters worse. No team succeeds without a coach, so if u sack him, u need to replace him. And if u replace him with someone that is worse than him, although this person will be difficult to find, then u ve made matters worse, if u replace him with someone like him, then we re still where we are. But if u replace him with someone better than him (very easy to get someone from this group), then we re moving ahead. So Keshi its absolutely right, sacking him will not solve the problem.

sorry i later understood your sarcasm.

I've never seen anywhere in the world where student mark is own papers, If you are the best Nigerians will know (not even America now), but when a president say some thing like stealing is not corruption, it encapsulates all that the regime is about... i mean, free for all.

He that is down fears no fall, what WORSE are you really talking about, where else are we falling to? It's time to start from the scratch and starting from the scratch means this clueless man should leave his seat first, this guy his a lot like our politicians, no shame, you no deliver, you still no wan RESIGN, must they sack you? a white man at this stage will honorably resign.

thegoodjoehunt3:
We have played better in every game Aluko came in recently. Check the stats. You will notice how our team pressurized the Bafana players after he came on.

Uche getting that starting role deserved to go to Aluko. With him, we would have played better.

It's Emmenike that ought to give way instead, how on earth will a coach keep fielding a player that had perpetually under performed, I mean he scored a goal last, a year ago, Uche scores for is club, perhaps if he was playing with a better player, he could have up his game.

thegoodjoehunt3:
We started playing well in the Sudan game when Aluko was introduced. We beat Sudan 3-1 without Uche. So how is it because of Uche we started winning?

I didn't say that we started winning because of uche, I meant we didn't lose because of him because that's what your post seems to imply, he won't perform miracle, the coach as setup a team that's bound to fail.

Based on personal experience; I visit nairaland almost everyday, as much as i visit my Facebook account, infact, i sleep here, i get alot of educations , discuss with serious minds and argue with some, i no fit tire here.

I've only visited LindaIkeji like 3 or 4 times, from a link from Facebook, i hate celebrity gist, wetin concern me? i discuss issues not people, so ...infact me sef i be celebrity.
