Yet bastards will continue to argue with me when I say I Av a very foolish man for President currently.

May God forgive you, you can't win people to your party by being insulting.

GEJ just Broke the internet with this statement of his.

Goon, who told u i am a party man?

xwolverine:
It is only GEJ that speaks and his supporters need to explain what he meant before we understand him. Cluelessness is enshrined in him DNA for him to flop a discussion even after he had been given the questions ahead of time.

Asked about JEGA and he's talking about not liking Turkey, like seriously...

Nobody needed to explain. Its just that APC supporters are daft like. Buhari.

His analogy was very clear and he did say clearly that according to Nigerian laws, twoo men sleeping together is corruption. But I guess you didnt hear that because you were too busy trying to understand the jargons Buhari was spitting out on CNN

Maybe because you are gay you found it offensive. We can understand that.

What a retàrd!

I don't get, isn't that a corruption of morality based on our values?

Lolz. Perhaps he is trying to remind his christian brethren that he banned gay marriage so even if they are still jobless and being destroyed by corruption and boko haram they should still vote for him? (A President who always needs translation... Smdh)

But according to your president it's only two unmarried men, so if they are married it is not corruption abi? Lol. And wasn't he married when he himself had children out of wedlock?

He wasn’t being asked about moral corruption nor was the stage appropriate for family/traditional values.

The explanation he gave was simply out of place and it’s laughable for him to try and differentiate stealing from corruption when the cases he specifically talked about must have been those of public office holders.

Besides, even if the cases where such that stuff was physically stolen, there must have been an enabling environment created by the corrupt superiors that allowed it fester

Adminisher:
He did my friend. I watched it. You are a big liar.

U are a bigger lie even. Wat d president meant was bcz of the abuse of the corruption, that if two men were caught sleeping together, they will still call it corruption in instead of gay and treat Dem accordingly # pls stop misquoting the president.

@OP

You must be so daft!

Just like he said, in the Nigerian contest and based on our laws and values, two men sleeping together is corruption

This is what you get on NL with so many certificateless people posting.

Your certificate sef get as e be. Two men sleeping 'together'; what does it imply? Is it sleeping on the same bed or what? Meanwhile, it is 'context' and not 'contest'.

According to section 2 of I.C.P.C Act (2000), corruption simply connotes impropriety and encompasses all forms of reprehensible, indecorous and infamous conduct in the performance of some official and non – officials responsibilities. This means any act, which go out of any normal societal behaviour.
Political corruption is the use of powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence.
Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement.
I still don't know how Jonathan is going to convince me that using public office to steal for private gains, is not corruption.

Why did London court call Ibori a common Thief instead of corrupt.

And they also told you common thieves are not corrupt? There's no way you're going to exonerate a public officer holder, who used his position to steal public fund of corruption. No way!

Neither as GEJ say stealing is good. what he is saying is that a thief should be called a thief and not corrupt. corrupt is a decorated way of addressing a thief.

Whatever his motive behind such statement, however stealing public funds is a form of corruption. You can not steal from government without getting into corrupt practices. That is why you see count charges involving corrupt practices against "thiefing" public officers. This different from stealing bread or fowl.
I found it funny when I heard a court sentenced a fowl thief to death just late last year and we have someone found guilty of of stealing N25 billion walking free.

Already corrected that. Is that all you got?

corruption is not when the person is a government official. Please use your dictionary or Google

I think you guys are mixing things up. He never said stealing is not corruption! He never said so. That was why he was trying to differentiate between what's stealing and corruption. Moreover, that statement never came from him but a reference to someone who used to be a Chief Justice and hence a very informed source.

What he was trying to say was that corruption has a broader meaning that encompasses stealing. Every corrupt man is a thief.

You could also put it this way that a corrupt man is more degrading than a common thief. Either way, a heinous crime is committed by a corrupt official

Please let's not twist someone's statement.

Why they get away from stealing N25 billion is very simple. its because they have the money to employ the services of a lawyer who can negotiate their terms of release. These lawyers go into a plea-bargain and the prosecuting counsel has no choice that to agree. Now why do they have to? Simple! Because government's resources are limited. But these thieves have enough money to stall cases that can last a life time.

So how do you solve such a problem? Why don't you put in systems in place to check mate these excesses? Why don't you put in processes that will block these loop holes? Why don't you refine the system such that there will be different levels of verification?

That's the focus of GEJ. And its working! Am sure you do believe that prevention is better than cure.

Bullcrap!!! Is it the same GEJ who prevented the Pension thief from re-arrest? Is it GEJ that sees nothing wrong in Jim Nwobodo stealing from public fund? How many bills has he sent to the NA to ensure the checkmating the excesses, blocking loopholes and refining the system? Even the anti-graft agencies we have, have become lame ducks under him and limited to chasing people that steal to eat. If after 5years, big thieves are being protected while someone who stole a fowl not worth more than N1500 is being sentenced to death, then he is incapable to do the right thing. I'd like to see a Nigeria where people who steal fund are made to repay to the last kobo-with interest- then spend a very long time in jail, but what we see now is a president granting pardon to convicted thieves. I actually like the Buhari/China style of punishment.
