Thanks for the explaining....but stealing is still the same thing as corruption.

Either way....someone loses kudi!
I don't really know why GEJ had to explain himself. It's a pity that after reading this, u still say stealing is corruption. Guess GEJ had to clear things up becos of Idiots like you but yet, ur illiteracy just like Buhari won't make u understand.

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

[size=25pt]#BuhariShowYourCertificate[/size]
see me see literate person o. An armed robber is not a person in authority and he is an arm robber. But when a person in authourity uses his power to steal money or asks people for bribe before doing what he is suppose to do normally, then he is corrupt. Stop twisting English just because you want to defend your clueless president.

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!
i was one of the corpers who successfully registered these 78million TVCs. In fact my rolling booth was interviewed when they heard i and my partner ice registered 33 voters while the rest of the country had no more than 7 or 8registered cos of poor fingerprint machines. I know first hand the incompetence of which i speak cos problems started with verification when the politicians decided to field lazy buffoons who were only interested in the pay.i am also a card carrying party member. What do you contribute apart from insults and foul mouthed expletives.is that how your parents or teachers raised you(your level,not your fault).

GEJ may not be perfect but his perfection outclassed the collective perfection of all our ex presidents and HoSs. GEJ is so accommodating to our insult and bitter criticism.

#GEJtill2019 for those that their longevity depends on criticising GEJ unnecessary.

Corruption is not stealing but stealing is corruption. That is the point the president is making but some skewed mind will not see it so.

#GEJTillThereIsABetterChoiceIn2019.
Gej is so accomodatinghuhlol

Freedom of speech and expression is non negotiable in a democracy

This is the best president Nigeria have ever produced. If Nigeria need a change i think it should be a drastic change, for now buhari is not a competent one. It means GEJ has no nobody to compete with . QED

Let whoever wins take his rightful position in Aso Rock. Whatever be the case do not help to heat up the polity. This politicians we always clamour for dont have our interest at heart. When the violence start, they and their children will flee to fortification while the military men will be wasting the lives of Nigerians. Recall the Nigerian civil war, the principal actors lived to ripe age. Gowon is almost 80 and Ojukwu died at the ripe age of 78 leaving inheritance for his children but do not forget that 3 million people lost their lives on both sides. Their death was in vain as the politicians reconcilled and many are now great friends and they are still ruling us. Their children have equally joined in ruling us. if not why would the children, wife, inlaw, nephew of Tinubu, Obanikoro, Lai Mohammed, Abacha, Ibori, Osoba, Igbinedon etc have the nerves to even pick up any form from INEC. Let us be wise, vote for your candidate and move on. We have never voted anyone that will please us for even a term, before the tenure ends we will start screaming and shouting for another. Politicians are not your messiah. We are the ones to drop our selfishness, materialism, hatred, insensitivity and wickedness towards another. Our division is greatly helping their own agenda. As long as we are divided we will always be at the loosing end. What they owe us is infrastructures, security and proper resource control. It is not theirs to help us define our heritage, an Hausa man is not better than all the other 250 tribes and vice versa. We are first human before we recognise any tribe or nation what we owe each other is love. We are not different in anyway except our mindset. It is not theirs to help us discover religion, it is supposed to be between us and our God. Religion is a personal thing, as long as it works for us. God is the judge not us or them. Please keep yourselves safe, you too can rule one day.
God bless you

Ops, You are just as stupid and clueless as your president, the question you need to ask yourself what is the meaning or definition of the world 'corruption', which means 'dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery', what is the definition of 'stealing' it means; taking (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it. All these babbling and mumbling of the sadistic bastard just to safe face isn't working. There are only three types of people that would vote for the clueless one, the hypocrites, their types have being with us for centuries, God didn't speak well of the hypocrites, the Evil doers, those ones are the corrupts politicians, corrupt Nigerians, the drug dealers they know if buhari becomes the president is longer business as usual for them and lastly, the stupid ones and they constitutes 90% of the people supporting the clueless one, reason a state governor would say he knows the president has done nothing for his people but he would still vote for him. If you sat down and watched the rambling of the clueless one on Tv yesterday and you are convince about what he said about differentiating corruption from stealing, then you are part of that 90%.
Read it again without prejudice or h8, you may just get the point he is trying to make. Thanks.

The last time I check, democracy doesn't entails freedom of abuse, nor freedom of illegal association and other illegalities. Perhaps you have to check again.

The book launch you refer to I still remember vividly that there is a court injunction stopping its launch. Therefore the police preventing the book launch is nothing short of rightfulness.

*The more you talk and try to justify an action of statement, the more you appear like a fool.*

According to the dictionary;

cor·rup·tion - /kəˈrəpSH(ə)n/ noun
1. dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.
2. the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or
meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or
debased.


steal - /stēl/
verb
1. take (another person's property) without
permission or legal right and without intending to
return it.
2. move somewhere quietly or surreptitiously.

Mr. President, I believe u can now see that corruption is not 'only stealing' while stealing is corruption. Basically, stealing is a subset of corruption just like forgery, bribery etc.
What is the difference with what Oga Jona said and what you Explained?
Re: Jonathan Explains What Meant When He Said ‘Stealing Is Not Corruption’ by billyG(m): 9:59pm On Feb 12, 2015
y dwell on semantics what about punishing the offenders of either corruption or stealing that is what is important.

u still don't understand what he means gej is trying to tell u thant those people u call corrupt r not jst corrupt bt thief's so their offences r more than corruption if u tell lies is jst corruption bt stealing money is bigger than that so someone who steals deserve more punishment than ordinary corrupt person thats what d president is sayin ok
