I find it rather funny that from your above definition u don't know that stealing and corruption are two different things......Now a small exercise for;
1.He "stole" millions of naira from the state treasury account.
2. He is a "corrupt" business man.
Now inter-change the two words in quotation mark in both sentence....
The truth is,am so disappointed with both of our so called presidential candidates that instead of them telling us what they can do for and how they intend doing it or maybe what they have done....,they result in cheap propaganda and blackmail to the extent they do this rubbish on air at their special stations#smh# And the worst of all,the younth who claimed to be leader of tomorrow and joining our leader to destroy our future because of their ignorance,low level of reasoning,greed,selfishness,poor judges of character,laziness and all sort.My question is if we destroy our tomorrow by the actions of our today,what do we have left to lead. Pls let us be reasonable with our judgement and don't be carried away by the lies and propaganda of leaders. Let them focus on what they can do for us and how they intend doing,they maybe we can decide on who to give our votes.
Welcome oooo! English teacher, i don't want to insult anybody but i guess you didn't read my comment properly. How can you steal without being dishonest!? Being corrupt means you are in a way doing something illegal, by the definition of stealing it says
'taking another's person property' money meant infrastructure development that politicians divert into their private
accounts are they not over 170m Nigerians property!?. The point you failed to understand and the clueless one failed to point out is, there is no way you commit one the offence (stealing or corruption) without directly or indirectly committing other one. Do not let the clueless one confused you, no leader in world would say on national Tv that stealing is not corruption no matter what the English definition is.

you have just confirmed that you are stupid and an ilitrate.
If lack of integrity is equal to stealing,as you said
AND YOU HAVE JUST CALLED SOMBODY OLD ENOUGH TO BE YOUR FATHER "retard"
then you don't have integrity and you are a theif/criminal/ole/barawo/onye ori
Why put your low IQ and lack of ability to comprehend on full display like this?It's like your brain skipped over the part that says USE OF POSITION OF TRUST FOR DISHONEST GAIN! What is stealing if not dishonest gain? When that dishonest gain is made by virtue of holding a position be it in a company or government,the stealing becomes corruption. Besides only someone without integrity will steal. But I doubt you know the meaning of integrity anyway

This is what happens when an opposition is illiterate and without certificate. How can you say stealing is corruption? So it means armed robbers are corrupt? SMH

EFCC prosecutes those who steal while ICPC prosecutes those who are corrupt. It's a simple knowledge but our certificateless Buhari find it hard to comprehend grin

I have always been of the opinion that the only time the president makes sense is when his lips are sealed. His explanation on the reason why he said stealing is not corruption is bereft of intellect and has only worsened his case.

he says and I quote ''We have made more convictions in this period than before. But I always say that the answer is not convicting more people. We must make sure that they don’t steal. Do not put the money where they can steal it. That is what we are doing.”

How on earth can a president say the answer is not convicting thieveshuhhuh how else do you stop others from stealing if you do not convict the ones that have been caught? As much as the president's cluelessness baffles me, I am seriously more troubled by Nigerians who do not see anything wrong with this present administration and are clamoring for its continuity. Surely Nigerians are brilliant and intelligent and we definitely can do better than this. Also we may have to wait till eternity for the president's list of those who have been convicted. Perhaps he meant to say the thieves that have been pardoned.

Stealing is one of the branches of corruption but corruption itself is not stealing.

DrPrickson:
Since APC started twisting "Stealing is not corruption" ,I have tried all I could to explain what GEJ was saying, but alas their hate for our president wouldn't allow them reason.

A thief is a thief!! Why must we dress it up with something less deteriorating? I bet our "tif tif" politicians will prefer to be labelled as corrupt rather that being called a thief. We should not accord them such luxury.

It is now clear that our president and his team are very intelligent set of people. While our "change" crusaders are indeed clueless and well as ill-educated (their Professor included).

When men like Tinubu and Amaechi lot the treasury of their states dry, they should be called thieves.
When a man like Buhari lie under oath and then forge certificate he should be called Corrupt.
well said.

youre right i dont have pvc cos we have an incompetent/inconsiderate leadership that did not make provisions for transient voters.what am i saying sef even regular voters(38million of them) have been disenfranchised on purpose to show that even the administration knows that its incompetence is glaring. So stark that it cannot even rig or bribe voters with rice this time .tell the truth you are one of those 163 simpletons
Re: Jonathan Explains What Meant When He Said ‘Stealing Is Not Corruption’ by Toofan007: 4:09pm On Feb 12, 2015
Why not leave semantics? Corruption and stealing, even if we agree they aren't the same, could a president of a country like Nigeria afford to make such statement? And stealing is a form of corruption, there are other forms of corruption, yes, but to insist and keep insisting that stealing is not corruption is standing logic on its head. Go after them, either they are corrupt or them be thieves, just do your own leave semantics for the lawyers!

Alamesia came from your area. He was stripped by Obj for stealing but you went ahead to grant him a presidential pardon same with Kashamu who has a trial in the US and Bode Tewonde George who stole money in NPA and also benfitted from your presidential madness.

Something is wrong with you sir !
Buhari took over power in 1984 to fight corruption and had all airports surrounded by security personnel to prevent corrupt Nigerians and or their corroborators from sneaking out with our money or bringing in stolen Naira to exchange old notes with the new notes yet he allowed 55 suite cases into the country with an order not to check them ...because an emir from his "village" owned them. Who is deceiving who?

Then STFU! You are a hypocrite. How would you know if provisions were made anyway when you know not more than be in your house and expect to see a miraculous change in govt when u actually know nothing of what's going on out there. Did u ask a question buddy huh I didn't quite catch that ask again!
