Mr Nethanyahu. You can't Bleep off to hell. We Israel to be the most racist country in the world. Up till this day and age, you still kill, maim destroy the land and people of Palestine. Israel has a country have over 20 nuclear warheads, so isn't it hypocritical for you to have nuclear war heads and not want Iran to have too? There's nothing you nor the US can do about Iran developing a nuclear bomb. To earlier you deal with that, the better for you

If a man steals goat in Maiduguri and his hands are cut off and another steals in VGC and the owner of the house says allow him go with it because he is a hungry man.

Does that mean that both acts are not corrupt?

Even the Judge Mustapha's statement GEJ quoted to cover his goof proves Theft is Corrupt.

These guys had corruption charges and he judged it as theft because Corruption is a bigger word of theft. Theft by someone in a powerful position is corrupt,

I repeat THEFT/STEALING by someone in power is CORRUPTION.

So how can GEJ or anyone tell us stealing is not corruption? Baffles me.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Let us leave the dribble. Google Corruption by theft.

It is simple grammar. We do not need a chief justice to explain simple terms.

Corruption - dishonest act for personal gain.

Examples Bribery a dishonest act for personal gain.

Fraud a dishonest act for personal gain

Theft a dishonest act for personal gain.

There is no way stealing is not a corrupt act.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Your long write up can not change the fact that theft is a corrupt act.

thegoodjoehunt3:

What is your take on the term: CORRUPTION BY THEFT.

Ovamboland:
And you have cleverly removed the part where GEJ said 'ordinary' stealing they call it corruption

It so unfortunate we have to debate this matter, it seems the quality of public discourse has finally gone to the gutter level GEJ has dragged it.

The technology he wants to deploy, has the developers been able to deploy it and get 100% prevention of corruption in their own country? Meanwhile the country is hemorrhaging and bleeding from corrupt and fraudulent practices, while Mr. president busies himself with shielding the accused from investigation or pardoning the convicted.

Many youths today will tell you they will steal in government if given the opportunity simply because they see many get away with it and the society is thus skewed to worship the ones with money regardless of the means.

As much as you want to prevent corruption, remember the system will be run by Nigerians and ingenuity will always drive human to find loopholes and weak points to exploit.The system must never shy away for any reason from meting consequences on anyone deviating from the agreed norm and values espoused by the society.

Stop being a drama queen with your ignorance. All instances of financial crime is legally regarded as "Graft". That is why you hear EFCC referred to as "Anti-Graft Agency"

Therefore I put it to you that the Stealing of trillions here and there by Nigerian politicians under the leadership of President Jonathan is an act of Corruption. It is only a very corrupt fellow of a beneficiary will spend so much energy and time trying to hide this fact.

egift:
Chai Jonathan has emptied a can of cluelessness on your head. For your info, Stealing (which is also known as graft) is one of the actions that amounts to Corruption. So you can put it this way, "Stealing of money by public office holders in positions of power is an act of Corruption".

For a layman like you, here is an illustration:
Your leg is part of your body. The same way;
Stealing is an act of corruption.

It does not mean that when we say your leg, it it means the totality of your body. That same way Stealing alone is not everything about Corruption. Below is a dictionary meaning of corruption.

cor·rup·tion
kəˈrəpSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: corruption; plural noun: corruptions

1.
dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

synonyms: dishonesty, unscrupulousness, double-dealing, fraud, fraudulence, misconduct, crime, criminality, wrongdoing;

graft, grift, crookedness, sleaze

With this explanations of mine, I hope you now see that Stealing by public office holders is an example of corruption.

themilanway:
Since Jonathan was one of your many"intelligent and bright student"kindly educate us on the different between stealing and corruption.

itetemi:
ask yourself if jonathan were to be an american president, where will he be after saying stealing is not corruption.

OrlandoOwoh:
. . . and attacking Buhari, his family and even late wife is part of democracy? A big sorry to you. Do you even know the content of the Abuja Accord? I guess Kofi Anan should PDP and Jonathan to order.
