That is not up to grok. That's where the 3rd and 4th arms of government come in (The Judiciary and EFCC)
Re: Grok Lists 30 Most Corrupt Nigerian Governors From 1999 Till Date. by Jomonix: 4:44pm On Jul 28, 2025
Is Peter Obi anywhere in the list. His name did not come up on my first pass
Re: Grok Lists 30 Most Corrupt Nigerian Governors From 1999 Till Date. by Willy2025: 4:45pm On Jul 28, 2025

All past and present governors are corrupt. Most of those who made it to news are vindictive fight..

Considering the amount of resources that are always in the possession of the Nigeria governors not to talk of potentials of each state, Nigeria would have been better than this but no exceptional amongnst any of the past or present Nigeria governors
Re: Grok Lists 30 Most Corrupt Nigerian Governors From 1999 Till Date. by agentNija(f): 5:07pm On Jul 28, 2025
Chimaroke Mbadinuju is not on the list. Unbelievable.

Re: Grok Lists 30 Most Corrupt Nigerian Governors From 1999 Till Date. by SuperEagles: 5:29pm On Jul 28, 2025
Imagine selecting Sullivan Chime as corrupt and excluding Peter Obi with the following fraud

Pandora indictment
ORIENT FRAUD
250 millionaira raw cash looted into his house
Next mall Abuja n PH with state fund

The joke is on grok.

in am not making a comment on this list as to whether it is accurate on not. My comment is about grok.

we are in danger of assuming anything Grok says is true. it is not so! grok simply browses available sources and aggregates. if the sources are false it will come to a false conclusion. For instance if anyone deliberately puts out false information on the internet, it will form part of the info Grok uses for its conclusions. Similarly if important info is not on the internet (especially in Nigeria, a country that hoards info, it will not form part of grok's analysis because it has no access to it.

take grok's results especially when it comes to Nigeria with a pinch of salt!

that said all Nigerian governors are corrupt, it goes with the job. that you were caught or not caught convicted or not convicted is a different matter.

Are you telling me Wike is not corrupt, are you saying Obi did not steal? c'mon!

as we say in yoruba and even Wike reiterated recently...na person wey them catch be thief!

The moment I opened the thread, I immediately knew the angle they are playing at.

But now that Grok has indicated & included their overnight messiah Peter Obi in the list, watch & see, all of them will abandon the thread.

But one thing is certain, as long as all Men & Women were born crying, Peter Obi will never become the President of Nigeria.

One thing I will love for anybody to ask grok for me is. How much did Tinubu stole and from where, what court pronounce Tinubu guilty of corruption?

We can say Obi was caught with 250m but can we have figures or other facts about Tinubu's corruption cases?

You're wrong. Even Grok mentioned that its result 'prioritizes convictions and major probes. Sources include EFCC, court judgments, and media reports'. Now being a governor in Nigeria is a powerful position. Nigeria being a corrupt country defers to people like those. For say, a court or EFCC to indict such personalities cannot be termed anecdotal. All you need to understand is look at Nigerian corrupt judges and how easy it is for the rich to buy them over to understand that despite its subjectivity, Grok is at least, 80% correct.

What more, do you think these AI projects were just off-the-sleeve phenomena? AI is now better than humans in speed and analytical prowess in nearly, if not all fields. This doesn't even factor in social signals which Grok has access to. For instance, who would doubt that these guys are corrupt? You don't even need to have lived in the states they governed to be privy to that fact.

Nigeria is such a crime scene that a banker friend once told me that if politicians work with just 10% of the money they have access to, that this country would have been in competition with Europe.
