Stealing Same As Corruption, Lawyers Tell Jonathan by Sanchez01: 6:43am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Some lawyers have cautioned President Goodluck Jonathan to stop differentiating between the acts of stealing and corruption.Source: http://www.punchng.com/news/stealing-same-as-corruption-lawyers-tell-jonathan/ 57 Likes 7 Shares |

I watched the President recently trying to manoeuvre the statement that he didn't mean that and that it was in response to a situation presented to him by the chief justice...the more he explained, the more I think less of him as a sane man. He drinks too much Odeku I think Trying to justify a false claim is as stupid as using umbrella as a parachute 208 Likes 15 Shares |

I guess the reason why Mr President is trying so hard to justify why they're not the same is because he's practicing one of them. The ONLY president who goes about romanticizing stealing and corruption like Williams Shakespeare romanticized the sonnet. Crook! 124 Likes 5 Shares |

Though 'stealing and corruption' are two different words and meaning in the english dictionary, but GEJ lacks wisdom to understand that it becomes a total corruption when it's doing by public office holders. 27 Likes |

Whats are they talking about, go to your Dictionary type corruption, paste your answer here and check out Stealing too Stealing is part of corruption but is not actually the direct meaning of corruption. One important thing to note in his exexplanation is that Nobody actually said that he said "stealing is good". 18 Likes |

Stealing is a subset of corruption...... Because corruption is a universal set that encompass all (dishonesty, unscrupulousness, double-dealing, fraud, fraudulence, misconduct, crime, criminality, wrongdoing; bribery, venality, extortion, profiteering, payola; informalgraft, stealing, grift, crookedness, sleaze) So trying to separate the two is just like trying to cover for ones goof at a point in time 29 Likes |

I've said it before that trying to distinguish between stealing and corruption especially in the situation we find ourselves in Nigeria is a senseless thing to do. GEJ is not only corrupt but also a thief. The worst of his utterances is the one on Nwobodo: "How much did Nwobodo stole that Buhari jailed him?". And asking people openly during a presidential campaign if they like to go to jail is another evidence that our president is unapologetically and shamelessly corrupt. 21 Likes

Re: Stealing Same As Corruption, Lawyers Tell Jonathan by Ngwakwe: 7:33am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Some so-called intellectuals are becoming mentally redundant. 1. The comment was a direct quote by the President in reference to a speech made by the Chief Justice of the federation. 2. Where I come from, a thief and a corrupt person is not the same so also is it in many parts of Nigeria. We assume that Abomination is higher degree of Sin hence the Abominable needs to be ostracised. 3. In communication (syntax and semantics), the understanding of the recipient is/should be the target of the speaker to avoid defeating the purpose of the information delivered. Let's stop flogging the dead horse. There is no mis-communication in the explanation of the President rather what we have are bunch of hate mongers who not only show their stupidity in attacking everything the President represents as a manifestations of the absolute resentment and antagonism. 37 Likes 4 Shares |
Re: Stealing Same As Corruption, Lawyers Tell Jonathan by PassingShot(m): 7:36am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Ngwakwe: All you have written here cannot justify a president saying "... mere stealing Nigerians say is corruption" Neither does it make any sense for a president tacitly supporting stealing by asking dumbly "How much did Nwobodo stole that Buhari jailed him?" as if the amount involved is what determines the graveness of the act. Again, what sense is there in pardoning Alamaesuegha and Bode George who were convicted for stealing and corruption. GEJ is corrupt and a thief. Simple as ABC. 53 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Stealing Same As Corruption, Lawyers Tell Jonathan by Micuilles: 7:37am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Ghost workers in institutions is also corruption, & stealing is involved but not directly. GEJ didn't say stealing is not corruption, he only painted a scenario where he quoted a judge who claimed that most of the case files he was handling were 80% stealing & not necessarily "corrupt" practices. Yes to steal is a crime committed by a corrupted mind, so it can be termed as a corrupt practice, but in a situation where under age gets involved with online crimes, or a couple commits adultery, indulging in indecency movies, etc, it is not stealing, but corruption. As such, I opine that the word corruption is vague, & that's why it's better to call a thief a thief. There are punishments according to the law for stealing. But one thing is sure, GEJ's regime is far less corrupt than previous, so lets stop over heating the polity. 11 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Stealing Same As Corruption, Lawyers Tell Jonathan by PassingShot(m): 7:42am On Feb 14, 2015 |
Micuilles: You're wrong. GEJ said it clearly. Stealing is involved in corruption and you cannot support or seen to be supporting stealing in any way or form. In his presidential chat, he was trying too hard to explain it away but even ended up making us believe that stealing is not corruption by saying "people use corruption to cover stealing ..". This makes no sense at all. 6 Likes |
