lagosians are satisfied with the tinunbu empire so they are not asking question. they have been blinded buy the veil of PDP hatred so they are OK with whatever tinunbu /fahola wants for them. no questioning no investigation.

by the way let me take this chance and this space and this opportunity and this time to educate those that are shouting Jonathan is corrupt
what is corruption.
is stealing corruption
can a president fight corruption.
is corruption a crime

corruption is a part of human nature. the tendency not to do the expected. a kind of defiance and an act of being unethical.its totally natural and can be controlled.

is stealing corruption.
well its important to draw the line between crime and corruption. stealing is purely a crime and a graduated form of corruption. corruption is not necessarily punishable but crime is. so if someone steals,let's leave it to the law enforcement agency to do their job.

can a president fight corruption.
everyone in a democratic setting is gilded by law. especially a country like Nigeria that operates a bicameral legislature. so it is left for the constitution to spell out what is punishable or not. if the law state that a director must account for their monthly spending and he refuse or is found to have stolen,you don't need the president to tell EFCC or the police to do their job.
asking a president to fight corruption is like telling him to be a dictator and interfere with the judicial process.then he has the power to accuse anyone and punish. then absolute power will corrupt.


finally how do we fight corruption.
we have seen the Nigerian law makers concern themselves with irrelevant oversight functions where they even ask for bribe in the process. these are supposed law makers that are meant to strengthen the constitution as the only true tool to tackle corruption.
if our laws clearly spells out how the treasury should be managed and it States clear punishments, if the constitution gives every Nigerian the right to question the government on its spendings.if the constitution mandates the governors and chairmen to make public. its monthly spending,then corruption will be fought squarely.

sadly the man that tried to put these things in place and respect the judiciary by organising town Hall meetings and national conference is being accused of leading a corrupt government. not knowing that we are the ones creating a favourable condition for the cultivation of corruption.

instead we are busy asking for someone who will handpick people and punish them at will.forgething that we run a democratic government and must respect the judiciary.
Ok o. So people wey get sense still dey naija? Then there's hope. Tinubu and everyone clamouring for Buhari are the real enemies of Nigeria. I have always believed that we the masses, are the ones encouraging corruption. Jona is on the right path. With time, all the loopholes by which our treasury is looted, will be effectively blocked.

Nigerians, say no to tyrants.

y'all PDP mofos already dancing shoki on the thread..u should know that its the people who constitute a society that accounts for its level of corruption. notwithstanding the govt is part of it..but its majorly the citizens.

Of course we shouldn't feign ignorance of the hustling spirit of an average Lagosian. they would go to any length to achieve anything for themselves whether legally or illegally, now that's the Lagos spirit. (corrupt Lagos spirit). So this hasn't got any $hlt to do with the govt or APC)

Infact Almost every tribe lives in Lagos.. I'd be surprised myself if Lagos didn't top the list.

lol the same way you are disappointed Abia is not #1 corrupt state, is the same way you will be disappointed if you went to Abia state yourself to see how "terrible" the state is by those claiming to be from and live in Abia state and telling you how awful T.A. Orji is, vis-a-viz the State too.

most developed state and you now turn it to most corrupt, If this is what corruption means then i really like it
so if stolen funds are used to build private houses for the cronies of govt. you like it... then on the next thread you will criticize GEJ for saying stealing isn't corruption....

House, see how we all can be hypocrites? all it takes is for the shoe to be on th other leg.

So agbaje would be able to work better because he is an ex convict stooge! supported by a known thug,obanikoro...hmnn wonder shall never end. you mean you prefer the later?..this must and will not happen. Fashola is 10000% better than agbaje and Ambode is more experienced and trust worthy than agbaje.therefore,we dont want ex convict and thug to rule lagos state...Ambode is our man of people

This report is sooo untrue
I wouldn't dismiss the report just like that. We should not look to just 'state government' or 'Fashola' alone when talking of corruption. With myriads of law enforcement agencies such as Customs officers, Police, Army, FRSC, and local government enforcement agencies as well as touts and area boys extorting money from the public, Lagos is obviously the most guilty in terms of corruption.

We also need to look into the deep undertones of government contracts that are concentrated into the hands of some political godfathers, running into trillions of Naira, while various taxes are inflicted on the masses to fuel the business empires of these godfathers.

These are obvious phenomenon that is forcing several people to move out of Lagos State. Of course, let's facd the fact; Lagos State is currently the most corrupt and corrupted state in Nigeria.
