Your type are worse than the Almajiris in the north in that you don't know, and don't want to know. The only thing you know is to go on social media to advertise your ignorance in the form of moronic comments. The erudite Prof has hit the nail on the head by stating that we do not have the minimum systems and processes to tackle corruption as is being done in other countries.

The APC have up till now decided not accept that the freedom of information law applies to them or even domesticate it if they insist that it is on the concurrent list, despite the rulings of various high courts to the contrary. This has made it nearly impossible for the public to access information on the looting going on at the state level, just as we are accessing information as to what is happening at the federal level. Is it not an irony that the APC are the ones singing about 'change'? I guess that one of the first thing they will do if they get into power is to water down the FOI law, or scrap it altogether so as to protect themselves from public scrutiny.

There is presently before the national assembly, the asset forfeiture bill that has been gathering dust since 2010, which will go a long way in ensuring that people do not benefit from loot of any kind. The law bill stipulates that any asset traced to you would be confiscated by the government if you are unable to prove how you earned it. It seeks to transfer the burden of proof from the government to the accused making it cheaper and faster for the prosecution of corruption cases. In addition to the passage of this bill, there is the need to amend the constitution, removing immunity from prosecution on corruption cases for the president and all the governors, a special court to handle corruption cases, a new evidence act to ensure that computer print out of bank account statements of can be tendered in court to also ease the difficulties in prosecuting corruption cases etc.

The combination of the FOI law and the asset forfeiture law will definitely be a game changer in the fight against corruption. Infact, it will make political office unattractive because a corrupt politician will not get away with corruption. These are the basic minimum systems and processes existing in the US, UK, even South Africa.

So, when Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is saying that Nigeria presently does not have these systems/processes to effectively fight corruption, she is absolutely correct and people who are clueless about this issue should just shut up. Beyond going on the social media to post "Sai Buhari", you guys should ask the relevant questions as to how Buhari wants to prosecute the so-called anti-corruption war if voted into power, operating within the legal confines of the extant laws of the land.

It is pertinent to note that a lot of the Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), who presently are part of the so-called progressives like Wole Olanipekun and co, have become specialists in defending politicians accused of corruption in court. They have perfected the art, in collusion with some corrupt judges, in getting adjournments after adjournments of corruption cases to ensure that EFCC gets tired of prosecuting cases over so many years without even the court looking into the main substance of the cases. In some of these cases, the defense counsel will be contesting jurisdiction for as many years as possible. How do you expect the government to continue to pay its prosecution lawyers for close to ten years just to get a conviction that may never happen. Out of frustration, EFCC would then end up settling for the plea bargain option which is basically allows the thief to go home with more than 80% of his loot.

In summary, nigeria must restructure if she must move forward because the corrupt national assembly becomes bipartisan when it comes to protecting itself from anti-corruption agencies. They have become so powerful that the only way in ensuring that the asset forfeiture bill is immediately passed into law is a mass action from the nigerian people, demanding that these systems and processes are immediately put in place. This is beyond all the noise making by the self appointed APC "change agents" who we all know are as corrupt, it not more than the PDP.

Which university did this woman go self! Corruption is everywhere in the world Mr woman. Ours is more than corruption. How did she even enter that uni she attended self big disgrace. This statement "

According to her, the absence of the relevant systems and institutions that will help check corruption has crea[i][/i]ted opportunities for people to engage in the act.

“This thing has been with us and we must crack it. This is not something that started in this country today; but it is something that we must crack "

Some people are attacking me because they have never and will never withness a good government in their life. Its either this woman don't know her job as a finance minister or she is just refusing to do her job.
If she was heading a private company would she be saying gibberish like this. What else do you need when you have police, sub police EFCC and not to talk off other agencies. She knows she can't say this in a sane society.

She might be a genius in academics, but she needs to be a patriot with the position she is holding. That's why she lost the world bank job, because she did a cow boys job the last time. I know if she had a good record definitely Obama would have recommended her, but her track record is disturbing.

There is no sense in catching 62,000 fraudulent slots in a ministry and the head of the ministry sits there while she deceives her father that she is fighting systemic corruption, has she not heard of consequence management before?

Iweala is a stark illiterate.

The minister said that the names of the persons found to be involved in the act had been sent to the ICPC for further action.

It is your ability to REASON and the those who liked your statement that should be in question here.

If you do not have hatred running through your vein, you'll COMPLETELY agree with her. Now which of her statement rattles you?

This one:


Or:



Even a primary school pupil will understand these statements.

Like you know the duties of the Police or EFCC or the ICPC. Did you not also read this part:



Bro you need to be educated. It is a pity if you reason like this and claim to have passed through the fall walls of a university. If indeed you did have education even at the secondary school level, you must have done Social Studies or Government or in the university, you must have done one or two Social Sciences course. But if you did, and still think like you currently do, you need help!

Don't come here to show your illiteracy and expose others like you - those liking your posts.

blah!!! blah!! blah!!! Do they jail corrupt people in the U.S or not? Evade tax in Britain or U.S and see if you will not end up in jail. The problem with this administration is not detecting corruption. The problem is that it has refused to PUNISH CORRUPTION!!! especially high ranking ones.

Its shameful that majority of Nigerian youths cannot read and comprehend a simply writeup.

Ovamboland:
On a scale of 1 to 10 of leadership skills and intelligence, 10 being the highest, a leader on level 3 like we have now can only attract people with level 2 and 1 around him that is why we are saddled with the likes of Abba Moro, Okupe, Obanikoro, Fayose, Sambo etc around Jonathan. If he manages to attract a 6 or 7 like Okonjo-Iweala, the natural occurrence is for her intelligence to head south and tend towards 4 or even 3. That is the predicament that informed these senseless statements from Iweala.

In spite of the phantom savings from technology fraud fighting, the Recurrent expenditure of the annual budget has shot up to 72 % leaving a measly 28% for capital investments, who is deceiving who?

“This thing has been with us and we must crack it. This is not something that started in this country today; but it is something that we must crack.

“Fundamentally, we have to ask ourselves, why has this continued to be a problem; I am convinced that it is because we constantly look at the symptoms and not the cause of the disease.

“The cause of the disease is we don’t have in place the institutions, the systems and the processes to block and prevent it in the first place.
“That’s the only difference between us and the people abroad.`

“This is so important now because of technology and I am a total fan of the use of technology and electronic platforms to block the leakages in this country.

“We must use them the way they are being used in other countries.“
Okonjo-Iweala said that the introduction of the Government Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMS) had helped to reduce physical movement of cash to make payments and curb corruption.

She said that the Integrated Personnel Payment System had also helped government to remove ghost workers from the system and save money in the process.

Many thanks.

If the problem Nigeria is facing is just evading tax, then we dont have a problem.

In those countries, before u even start working and earning you need social security or some form of id in the system. Govt can track how many employess it has and the salaries paid. In Nigeria govt does not even know how many employees it has and they are still paying salaries .

Even if you are a police officer who books people for over speeding or u sell ticket at the train station. Every ticket given and fine collected is stored in the system.

Here a police officer stops u and tells u ur fine is 10 but bring 2k. Someone who is suppose to be collecting a levy for govt, prints his own fake reciept and is collecting the money.

Is it better to chase after each individual engaged in this corruption or ensure that there is a computerized system that documents all revenues collected.

why do u think offices in govt often get burnt when a director is about leaving office? This is just to burn the paper so he or she does not have to account. But if the info was in a database somewhere, a report on their activities will just be generated. Dont be shallow in ur thinking because of politics.
