noblezone:


Stop sounding like an illiterate.

In the constitution of Nigeria, stealing is different from corruption.
That is why you have EFCC fro stealing and ICPC for corruption.

While EFCC handles cases like looting, ICOC handles cases like bribery and certification forgery.

Jonathan spoke within that context, but you are at liberty to distort the information.

Abeg tell me u are just being sarcastic or better still joking with this comment.....

Gej ma hero forever

Ben Bruce, check for the meaning of indelible before you use it

Any intelligent person would know that "stealing is not corruption" is a statement that needs clarification.

Here is what the president then said.


President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday clarified what he meant by stealing is not corruption, saying he was quoted out of context.

Responding to questions during a presidential media chat on Wednesday, the President explained that the remark flowed from a discussion he had with a former chief justice of the federation, who told him of how he had to distinguish straight acts of stealing from other forms of corruption he acted upon.

“People who told you I said stealing is not corruption did not tell you I said stealing is good. That is why philosophers say that the primary reason people disagree is because people use one statement to explain two typical things or vice versa.

“I made that statement because I quoted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mustapha, (when) I called a meeting then, with the anti-crime organisations and the judiciary.

“The CJN, Mustapha decided to take a look at the files that dealt with corruption and more than 80 per cent of them were just cases of stealing. But people use corruption to cover all. What I am saying is that let us go to the South-West and go to a typical community and they look at you and say this man is corrupt, people will be looking at you. But call that same man “ole”, that is thief, and see what will happen to him. Our people hate thieves more than corrupt people, yet most times, we use corruption to cover the lapses.

“A thief should be called a thief and treated as such. In my village, when an adult steals, they strip him unclad, humiliate him and his family, but if you say this man is corrupt, they won’t know what you are talking about. We are using corruption to cover it all up.

“So, let us communicate properly. It was not me that said it, I quoted Mustapha. He examined the corruption cases and he saw that they were just cases of stealing.

“We are identifying thieves; we can talk about what the agencies are doing. 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.”

Sorry I need English teacher o! I think INDELIBLE according to Cambridge English Dictionary is: An indelible mark or substance is impossible to remove by washing or in any other way: .

Who doesn't like him -Jonathan.
Most people just disagreed with the way he handled corruption.

His Ministers had too much liberty. . . Drained the economy.

Jonathan was poorly used by people in his government, even his wife.

Tycoflu:
If GEJ represents just 20% of how you guys are painting him, you guys won't struggle to shove it down our throat. GEJ met everything working well and ended up sinking them. If you doubt me, ask our economy and PDP for details

E be like say na South Africa u dey talk from. he met everything working well, so when he came, we had electricity abi, minumum wage was 18k abi, if you don't know what to say, just zip it, i don't like him either as i feel he could have done alot moe but i can't say he met everything working well, that's the height of lies and nonsense, you are saying Nigeri was like Ameriaca or South Africa when he came abi and everything was working well, right?

Corruption wise right?................having Jesus as a christian is d greatest achievement of mankind wch I doubt ur HERO achieved more dan d person u re referring 2

How do u know he does not have Christ?
As a believer as you claimed I do not expect this type of post from you
All well and good GEJ is living in peace and international community recognises him as a man of peace.
Those we know that have ruled and ruined this country before GEJ are living their lives
Without any blame
We should allow GEJ to be.
Buhari should face governance cos four years is not eternity.
Like it's always said. Make the pit of your enemies shallow per adventure you fall into it.

what a daft defence, thank for delivering us from GEJ

I guess ONE of the giant footprints is handing you a senatorial seat on a silver platter, Mr Ben Bruce, because you certainly did not win any election since nobody can trace your origins in Bayelsa state, and you cannot even find your way to your papa's house there.
I don't blame you. After chopping NTA funds and using it to start your own silver bird TV you can now talk. ABEG , make we hear word.

[size=13pt]National minimum wage was N5,500 during Obasanjo's administration.

National minimum wage rose to N18,000 during Jonathan's administration.[/size]

Wonder if Buhari will be able to even pay the 18,000 minimum wage now.
Before you know it. It's an excuse that PDP battered the economy and the oil revenue is low.

sunnyb0b0:



6 months is 12.5% of a four year tenure, this they've not realised.

That is 1/8 of 4 years. Let them continue the blame game
They think 4 years is eternity

Even buhari knows.......

Bruce is 100% right. Gej left a big footprint as no ex president has ever said stealing wasn't a corruption.Day dreamers.

The wailing senator

Goke7:


what a daft defence, thank for delivering us from GEJ

Kindly explain what corruption and stealing is in your own wisdom.
Before I know what to call you.

chukingchuks:
no he didn't, it's obasanjo and Abacha that left great legacy

..this is a joke right?!
Okay, I understand your sarcasm

malton:


how much money did Nwobodo stole

Never spare the English blunder of Mr PhD.

malton:
... my point exactly!

It's hard for anybody else to match Jonathan's ineptitude. Match?, someone already superseded it in 6 months

Nobody in their right senses will say that stealing is not corruption. But right thinking people compare Niger Delta militants to Boko Haram Terrorists.

No sane person will say "how much money did Nwobodo steal? "Money not up to the price of Peugeot car" But Sanity himself said Abacha did not steal

I mean, no right thinking person will oversee Nigeria's most successful years revenue wise and still amass the amounts of debts GEJ has, even to the point of struggling to pay Salaries. But right thinking people will do nothing just to see the crippling of all businesses and standstill of government

No leader can ever polarize Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines like he has. Polarize? talk about appointment made by the president and its polarity. Not to talk about dividing your own country in terms of 97% and 5% voters polarity in planned development

Nigerians are saner, nobody is crazy enough to usurp GEJ in these glorious positions. PMB just did it in 6 months


To better these "achievements", one has to resurrect Mohamed Suharto a Nigerian! Guess he just changed his surname the Suharto surname on his resurrection day

Gaskiya

Just the same way Ben Murray Bruce has left a giant foot print in the sand of history for been the best senator on Twitter constituency.

*gives Bruce Lee a mic connected to extremely loud speakers*

You can say that again Bruiser!! Bruise that mallam with the truth!! I like the tweet about GEJ not blaming Yar'adua or anyone else for the mess he met when he became President

True!

Giant footstep for corruption

i guess u dint c wat dey wrote dia.. buh incase u didnt...
lemme rephrase a little fr u...
HATE HIM OR LUV HIM... he is beta dan u million tyms..D; D; D;

Developed world:

Good leadership--delivering of dividends of democracy through infrastructural development, etc.


Nigeria:
Good leadership-- Abacha vs. OBJ vs. GEJ vs. PMB: Who stole the least?

The criteria for measuring good leadership in Nigeria pinpoints the real reason why Nigeria is stuck in 18th century.

How low can a race get when conceding a lost election is a heroic act? Only in Africa! Yet the same Africans want to be treated like humans when simple acts of humanity rarely exist.
