have you guys seen what is happening at Wall Street and the London stock exchange.

You guys want to hear bad news about Nigeria always. The enablers of corruption are the people who are worse.

If you save money for thieves or buy stolen items, you are worse than the thief.

Nigeria leaders are just very stupid. Look at APC, they got into power and spent years blaming PDP instead of doing something they were voted for. That's the incapacity of Nigeria politicians. It has nothing to do with corruption. Stealing is the oldest job on earth and it's not going to stop. Having a work around is the solution to the problem.

If nothing else is evidence, APC taking power and doing nothing is all the evidence that we need to know that incapacity is the problem with Nigeria.

Shey like this they're collecting loans without reading the "sovereignty clause" in it. And it's not like they are investing in projects that are capable of paying off the loans.

So it is the white men that told Nigerian politicians to steal?

Stealing can never stop in this world. But when 70% of your budget is lost to corruption, there is nothing to achieve with 30%.

you read to respond and not to understand.

Take care cause I can't continue to repeat myself. If you believe corruption is stopping Nigeria, good luck with and go get the Jesus Christ without corruption in him to fix Nigeria.

The crown prince of Dubai is one of the richest person on earth but he still managed to change the fortunes of his country. It's vision.

Saudi Arabia kingdom swim in corruption and yet they develop their place.

Gaddafi turned the fortunes of Libya around and he was still corrupt.

Vision develops a nation. Nigeria leaders lack vision

STOP ADVERTIZING YOUR IGNORANCE. CORRUPTION IS NOT NIGERIA'S PROBLEM - BUT A HUMAN PROBLEM. ALL THE COUNTRIES WITH THOSE BEAUTIFUL INFRASTRUCTURES ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN NIGERIA.

Corruption has dealt us a heavy blow in this country, Nigeria is the only country that retrogresses every year, no progress since 1960.

Restructuring is the only solution. If you are waiting for 2023 for a credible candidate your case is a sorry one.

Wrong! In china, when a public office holder steals money, the punishment is death!!

In Nigeria, when you steal money, you go into hiding for some time and you get rewarded another appointment!

If death penalty is introduced in Nigeria, money meant for projects will be duly utilized!

I understand your intention is good but i wonder why you want all states in Nigeria to be filled by sky scrapers as the evidence of development.

The scandavanian countriea are not that way and they have the best indices for development amongst all countries?

Lets stop trash talking Nigeria. And olease lets not turn our states to a no green sky scraper zone.Nigeria has land

are you serious, what's the role of government then? An oil rich country like Nigeria should have world class infrastructure.
Look at Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other oil producing countries

Do you guys ever bother to do like for like comparison?

Saudi oil daily oil production is 12 million barrels.

Nigeria is 2 million at peak production.

Population of Saudi is 38 million.

Nigeria is 200 million.
We have 6 times their population and produce a 6th of their oil.

Oga, face the fact.. Nigeria is the most corrupt Nation so far. Mindset plays a part in this, but corruption is the leader. How would you explain Abacha looting the Nation dry just to save the Money in swizz Banks and other Banks? Are you saying that we dont have people that are this exposed? then why do they run to these advanced countries to enjoy these amenities?

Give an example on how UK is more corrupt than Nigeria.

UK is a tax Haven. Abacha's loots have been there for ages, we have not been able to get it back because of "technicalities". The keep collecting stolen funds from corrupt 3rd world country politicians, refuse to return the money back to the countries but are happy to give us paltry sums in aids.

You are very, very wrong!
Is corruption everywhere? Yes, but not the type we have here in Africa, especially, Nigeria!

If not for corruption we would have cities like these everywhere!

Do you have an idea of how much of public funds Nigerian politicians have stolen over the years? These are monies meant for infrastructure, health and electricity; monies that should have been used to better the lot of millions.
