When I said that Jonathan is clueless and unintelligent, his clueless supporters take offense. So in his opinion it is the quantity that counts when stealing is defined.
Well Mr, stealing is stealing irrespective.
How do you expect this guy to run a country reasoning like this?

There is something called proportionate purnishment in law

Can you sentence someone to death for stealing in a grocery store?

you are taking the President's words out of context

if you look at the full speech you will see that the President was questioning the wisdom of jailing people for 300years as it solves nothing. Jailing Jim Nwobodo for 301years for allegedly stealing one Peugeot has not meant corruption has disappeared in Nigeria. That is the point the President was making.

He went further to enumerate how his administration is seeking new ways to prevent people from stealing rather than wait for people to steal so that you send them to jail for 300years.

you belong to the stealing is not corruption clique

honesty,he didn't still make sense. Don't be bias in your judgement. is jailing corrupt officials not part of preventing corruption?

Your gross inability and incomPetence in interPreting what the President was tryin to imPly, Proves that you are a stark illiterate without a certificate like the certificateless imbeciles(buhari and tinubu) that you work for.

Shame on you; shame on APC; shame on certifcateless Buhari

What some of you do not realise is that in the said period the likes of Lateef Jakande and Sam Mbakwe were Jailed for 300years even when Buhari's own tribunal found them innocent

Alex Ekwueme was also jailed for no reason other than being the VP of a deposed Government while Shagari was left at home

This is all part of the story being told by the President

Then please let him say it half as intelligently as you're putting it. The problem with his campaign speeches has been the lack of intelligence, I hope that doesn't sound too harsh. Even if he wants to run a smear campaign let him do it in a creative and informative way.

This "did they even buy one rifle" and "how much did Jim Nwobodo stole" just plays on the intelligence of the average Nigerian and it's getting irritating. He's running his campaign like his base are ignorant illiterates. This is how I see it

He maybe right but he has failed to impress me by not jailing some people that deserve to be jailed after subsidy issues.

Proportionately speaking, if stealing in a grocery store will result in the lose of life of others as a result, then there is nothing proportionate about it.
GEJ has no clue the outcome of Nwobodo pittance stealing must have cost our people under his government in 1983.
Use your brain. He went to Enugu and called Jim Nwobodo a thief before his kinsmen but only that he did not steal enough to warrant been clamped into prison by the Buhari government.
GEJ's desperate bid to discredit his opponent without knowing what he has done to Nwobodos image, by calling him a small theif.

To fight corruption you have to have zero tolerance to any sort of stealing. In Britain some MPs went to prison for making bogus claims worth less than a thousand pound.
How on earth will anyone with an atom of conscience justify this Jonathan's statement? You can see why corruption has festered under his watch because he seems to have a warped ideas about constitute stealing or corruption.

Before it was stealing is not corruption and now, certain about stolen from the masses doesn't warrant imprisonment. Ask your self, how much was a new Peugeot 504 in 1984 and how many people can afford it then?

We have thrashed this many times. Ekwueme used his influence to corner public lands to build his Modotel hotels in both Enugu and Owerri.

The one is Owerri belong to the central bank in Owerri. And he cannot account were the funding for his Brewery in Oko come from.
You can only tell this lies to kids born yesterday and are intellectually lazy to get to the facts.

Absolute nonsense

The law assumes all of being innocent until proven guilty, not the other way round!

Am not on the same road with you on this issue, so I had to pass it. Where I come from stealing is a serious business.
Jim Nwobodo was lucky they jailed him 300 years to run concurrently. I would have given his a.ss 1000 years and throw the key away.
In China he would have been hanged or executed for stealing an equivalent of 504 in 1983.

Ekwueme was lucky too, he should have been crated like Umaru Dikko who happens to be a minister, not a VP and a northerner too.
During the war, in Biafra we executed wicked people hoarding food in their care away from the starving masses, to set the tone that stealing hurt people, short term and long term.

Corruption did not disappear but it was in retreat until powerful forces helped it back into power
Jonathan described Umaru Dikko as a respected elder statesman
Can you believe that!
