Peter Obi has already made Nairaland front page twice on this Pandora scandal...
The first one was a picture of him sharing money.... The funny thing about this is that there are also many Nigerian names, but somehow, he has been singled out for some reasons.... Maybe because they see him as the front runner for president from the SE.

The same people shouting corruption on him are still the same people over looking the corruption going on in this administration... And also overlooking the billion van incident from their messiah.

No politician hand is clean everywhere.... But in terms of Nigeria, the way we celebrate crooks especially from our tribe, while vilifying one from another tribe is astonishing.

If we must have a leader, I strongly believe we should try and overcome the tribal politics most average Nigerians embrace.... And go for experience and honesty.....even if the person is an outsider.
Governor Peter Obi make our "HEAD GROW DADA" when he keeps coming to the media to tell us how he grew the ECONOMY OF ANAMBRA STATE by saving billions of naira.

How he spent less to build the ECONOMY OF ANAMBRA STATE.

How he hosted and lodged President Olusegun Obasanjo in government house during Obasanjo visit to Anambra state instead of spending billions on hotel.

The Pandora paper is now telling a different story about the ex-governor.

Buhari doesn't bother, so long
as na Fulani Muslim.

For say na Southerners or Christians,
he will send all the agencies after
them.

In our Nigeria of today, only two
Northern Christian ex-governors are
in jail for corruption and embezzlement.
All Muslim ex-governors are saints.
So christians should join Muslims to steal?

See how the majority Muslim areas are benefiting form the stealing of their Muslim leaders. Mass poverty and violence.

Why should christians join them?

Let them arrest only christians. Eventually we will replace thwm with Christian leaders who will never steal and who can never be caught in corruption.

In sane country this idiot of a governor would have been impeached or resign but in Nigeria you will see some poor monkeys defending a billionaire who stole from them.
If this governor have some shame remain then he should resign.

comments.

I'm not supporting of sympathizing
with Christian embezzlers.

What I'm pointing out is the double
standards for punishing crime.

Have you read the paper on his expose ?
Peter Obi fraudulent built Next mall in Abuja n PH with Anambra state fund when he was a governor and register it under his daughter's name Gabriella. Read the paper it was exposed there.

I know he bought brewery close to a billion n sold it to himself for N1 million on the eve to leave govt house.



GenAbacha:
What did Obi steal?

He simply avoided tax. Nowhere was it mentioned in the article that he looted any money.

IMASTEX:
That is just the truth. No pass or present governor, president, infact all political office holders and to a very large extent civil servants are free in Nigeria. This is because the system creates a very conducive atmosphere and encourage stealing. In fact, it would soon be legal to jail anyone that don't steal while in office.
You are right.

Tax evasion a CRIME according under Nigerian law. Obi deliberately and illegally hid income his Nigeria based businesses generated from the FG in order to evade paying taxes, in effect stealing, withholding and diverting what is due to the government to himself by that singular act
So yes, he's a theif. And I expect the Efcc to take it up any moment from now. Deal with it.

Tax avoidance is not tax evasion.

Tax avoidance is not a crime.

You just want to be fanatical about smearing the man’s name.

Nigeria is a tribal society, so there is no chance that Nigeria will overcome tribal politics, instead, we should learn to embrace and respect
our diversity and differences.
All Nigerians politician are crook, hence we must accept that a country led by crook can never succeed...period

Tax evasion is a crime. Income Tax department has a rigorous punishment for tax evaders. If a person wilfully attempts in any manner to evade any tax, penalty or interest chargeable or imposable, or under reports his income, he can be put behind the bars for a period not less than three months up to seven years depending on the amount of tax evaded or under-reported. The tax payer will be charged a fine as well as per the discretion of the authority. Wilful attempt to evade tax is covered under the Income Tax Act.

If President Muhammadu Buhari is serious about fighting corruption in Nigeria.

Then he must start with the likes of Alhaji Bagudu.

Bagudu is covered with immunity because of his status as a governor but when he leaves public office he can be brought to book by the government of the day.

Did you read the report at all? Coz it seems your blind famzing is clouding your sense of judgement else you won't be mixing up tax evasion with avoidance. Obi knows he's guilty hence his failure to so far come out and publicly/strongly refute the accusation. If he were in the U.S, he'd definitely go to jail because the IRS doesn't give a fvck who you are when going after tax evaders. But here in Nigeria, he may end up usibg his political connections to get off the hook. But as it stands, available evidence shows that he's guilty of tax evasion.

Tax avoidance, tax evasion are all criminals' conduct.

You could as well say that issuing out a dud cheque is not a crime.

Governor Peter Obi committed an offence.

His action violates the law of the land.

WHITEMAN will not call out his name if they did not see the wrongs he has committed.

Agreed, he may have some qualms with asset declaration but that’s about it.

Or what other criminal offense were you able to deduce from the report about him?

And I am telling you by my comment that a Christian should be held to a higher standard than non believers.

Why should a Christian steal? Why?

If a Christian steal then he deserves every punishment he or she gets.

Play with the devil, earn the devil's prizes.

Follow the devil and earn devil suffering.
As someone once said, the devil don't give free gift.

Like I said, maybe the new Christian leaders we have will never steal. Then the Muslims won't have any way of jailing them.

You should not be excusing worldly behaviour among christians. Remember the lesson of Achan

Yes there is double standard. Yes Yerima is still free and a host of other Muslim leaders. But that does not excuse rev nyame who as a pastor should have known better. And dariye who was voted Christian leader of the year.

And Lord knows how many Christian leaders who have committed the same crimes are walking free. It is not right to steal money whether Christian or Muslim and I pray God deals with them one by one

All Nigerians will do the same Even the ones here forming saints. They are even doing it against their Neighbors , church member, Pastors, Congregation , landlords, tenants friends, brothers ,sisters Uncle, father ,mother etc.
Yes but when you as a head; knowing fully well the people look up to you(which you have forgotten obviously because of your self-ish behaviour), must hold some aspect of righteousness... huh!

That is why there won't be peace, coz you want to look for an easy way out of this matter, instead of fighting tooth and nail to get it solved.

While their children get all the juicy post, which I don't really care about, they enact laws that will stifle your economy and you think pastors, imams, landlord etc. won't want to follow them as well.

Oga dey well ooh.
