GEJ got it right because it detailed how to curb corruption - computerisation of transactions and keeping money far away from reach of officials and strengthening our institutions

Buhari talking about killing corruption blah blah blah . . . .how? This is a mere political statement with no defined procedure how to go about it

You guys make me laugh. I would like to believe that your unfortunate value system and utterances are the manifestation of your lack of exposure to saner climes. How can you say the garbage above and imply that "keeping money away from reach" fights corruption? How about swift prosecution and punishment which act as a deterrents and disincentive to those who are considering engaging in corrupt practice? Lest you know it , perhaps because Nigeria is your only reference point, one of the most effective method of fighting corruption is to make punishment for corruption severe and 100% guaranteed.

You can "keep money from reach" as much as you want but dishonest and corrupt folks will never stop trying to loot public funds once they understand there is no repercussion for doing so as is currently the case under GEJ to the detriment of Nigeria and to the extent we are now seeing monumental and unprecedented corruption destroying every institution, parastatal and sector in Nigeria today. Spin and dice it all you want but corruption is going nowhere when Ifeanyi Ubah loots Nigeria blind yesterday with his fuel subsidy scam and goes unpunished to then be co-ordinating Jonathan's TAN election initiative tomorrow. I only pity so-called educated people like you creating excuses for what is plain wrong and condemnable while destroying your own Country in the process.

The man is always trying to dodge and make dumb and reterdedd excuses for corruption. The technology nonsense is the most idiotic ans asinine nonsense ever. America is the most tech advanced country in the surface of the earth, and they sent a governor to jail a few months ago and another just resigned yesterday and it has nothing to do with technology, its about their functional and productive crime fighting institutions like the FBI and their judicial system doing their job..


The same useless man appoints crooks under efcc investigation and in effect sabotaged their investigation, case closed. This is the president undermining his own crime fighting agency by letting crooks off the hook....

well said jare!

I sometimes wonder how gullible people fall so easily for this cheap tricks from Gej. I support a fight against corruption and a generalMarch4Buhari

What we had was communication problem. The President was only trying to make stealing stand alone so that one can call a thief to be a thief. It is just like making a Chemical Engineer stand alone from the Broader Engineering. That is rather than saying MalcomX is an Engineer, we should say MalcomX is a Chemical Engineer. It doesn't mean malcomx isn't an Engineer though. The President need brilliant communicators as Advisers to help him out.

Of course a thief is corrupt, just like a nepotist but the President meant that we should call a thief a thief. His Yam and Goat explanation is simply saying that we should as much as we can block access to stealing to make it difficult for people.

You explained it better. But like you said, a good leader should be circumspect on matters he's not authority in. Unlike him, the Judge he was quoting can easily wriggle himself out, and convince the audience on the legal standings of each. For the president, he still has the misfortune of being assumed to be making less of, or a case for stealing.

Bros, I have studied the President. He has a huge fault in attracting the right people to make him to be understood and drive his policies. He also have this over-confidence on his team. He is a laissez-faire leader.

omicron:
GEJ just know how to shoot himself. Which one is goat and yam again. Why cant he ever speak like a president?

Because someone like him, by virtue of his talent/skill-set and limitations, was never meant to be a President of any nation. Jonathan is not even local government chairman material. At best, given all GEJ has shown the world, our highly incompetent President should be the leader of a rural, isolated and largely agrarian community where he can regale simple, unexposed and scantily-educated folks with tales of "Goat and yam" to thunderous applause in the village square gathering. To inteligent, well-travelled, well-read and exposed folks, Jonathan just sounds like a cringe-worthy embarrassment. Claiming this man has a PHD is just a huge embarrassment to Nigeria and her education sector.

They re both on point.

And it's a big minus, as the buck stops at his desk. If you cannot pass across your goals, visions and policies, it's as good as not having them. If advertisers can just assume their products would just sell itself, they wouldn't spend billions trying to persuade you or make you see its worth.

That is right. No business or governance can move forward without having the right people to communicate the business or policies to relevant stakeholders. This is one mistake that our politicians make. Goodluck Jonathan should understand that a Good man is not necessarily a good administrator. It's so bad that his Vice isn't helping matters neither does his Think-tanks

Khadsambo:
I will Award PHD to Dr. Jonathan because even a layman will understand his message. GEJ all the way #GEJ4Naija

And a lay man cannot understand that if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill it?

Aprime:
What's with the goat, yam, bla bla?
Wow. I'm impressed with GEJ clueless-ness.
All freaking thieves are corrupt. Works hand in hand.

So I give it to Buhari.
He knows what is killing Nigeria.
And as such, he has identified a problem.

y won't he use goat in his answer ,have u forgotten dat he is a zoologist

Genea:

GEJ is d best who likes to carry everyone around and make even the illitrate except Buhari to understand the things he do. Like it or not, GEJ till 2019.

legendsilver:
I believe thief has a deep root in corruption, so there is no way any PHD holder will tell the whole nation that corruption is not stealing?
I see a point in killing corruption before it kills our nation.


Sai Buhari

He should start by rejecting the money gotten from the corrupt means, the money that is used to sponsor his election, how did they get their monies.

Let anybody tell me again that buhari is going to fight corruption.

liberty300:
clap for yourself for this wonderful contribution. I don't blame, you have been automatically programmed to stay this trash, it's a shame. Of all the things to throw away, you chose your sense of integrity? Can't you guys use your brains for once? Think! u r calling man that actually has a plan clueless because he gave a plan? Think how silly your statement sounds now. How can you fight corruption should be your main focus ..on the "how". Think for once!!!

u are so dumb. U mean I shuld vote for president dat has legalised stealing and corruption? U nid brain check up.. U got dat?

lucrownt:
From which planet did you come? So a whole General doesn't have a SSCE certificate. It shows the level of your education.

My level of education my good fellow is probably an impossible dream for you to attain.
On a general not having a certificate,yes Buhari has shown the whole world it can be done.What has stopped him from submitting a certified true copy to INEC? What has stopped him from requesting from Cambridge? Can you now understand how educated reasoning sounds?Oh and by the way his birth certificate say Mohammodu so obviously any Muttalab or Mohammed is invalid (I am sure with your meagre educational level you understand an affifavit should have reflected the above)
That should teach you never to quote your obvious betters in a faceless forum such as this.
Slowpoke.
