Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by Nobody: 6:59pm On May 10, 2016
Responding to the recent comments by David Cameron, Cobus de Swardt, Managing Director of Transparency International said:

“There is no doubt that historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan have had very high levels of corruption, and that continues to this day.  But the leaders of those countries have sent strong signals that they want things to change, and the London Anti-Corruption Summit creates an opportunity for all the countries present to sign up to a new era.  This affects the UK as much as other countries: We should not forget that by providing a safe haven for corrupt assets, the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies are a big part of the world’s corruption problem.”

Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by Nobody:

Transparency International just spoils the mood of the Wailers!

That's the right message.

You can't play saint when all the stolen goods are entrusted with you for safe keeping even when u know consciously that those goods were first and foremost stolen goods.

The bolded statement above summarises the whole article and the gross hypocrisy of that useless cameron abi na amplicox. How can someone you know is a thief gives you money to hold and you accept it only to turn around and call that person 'corrupt' what about you?. I don't blame them, i blame those people that out of hatred for buhari supports any negative report about the country forgetting that we are in the ship together and God forbids anything happen to it, 'Titanic would be a child's play'.

No comment, Transparency International already said it all...

Will just watch from the sidelines the nos of people whose evening has just been shot straight to hell by TI's endorsement! smiley

Wow. This is like a spear right through the dark hearts of those who wish this admin and Nigeria evil.

When a people decide to make bigotry a form of patriotism, then you know they've descended into the abyss of hopelessness with no chance of salvation.

Nigeria is on the path to redemption and greatness ably steered by a competent and fearless leader, embraced by patriots, detested by the sons and daughters of El Chapo.

Watch how TI become their next enemy over this statement- they'd become so doleful you'd think they just received news they are to be cremated alive for being so stupid.

God bless those who bless Nigeria.

Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by TippyTop(m): 7:24pm On May 10, 2016
Transparency International should visit Nigeria to see the way we fight corruption, lock up all opposing and dissenting voices, the latest is Adegboruwa.

Let them come and witness a corruption fight where opposition personalities are deemed thieves while those in the ruling administration are considered saints.

Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by Zico5(m): 7:24pm On May 10, 2016
In fact, these people are very right. Both the looters and the recipients of the loots are equal. They knew that these funds are looted initially and they accepted it without any reservation. If they are serious initially, there should have been check and balance.

Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by Nobody: 7:25pm On May 10, 2016
Amazing Comments from TI. grin

Just Fani Kayode, Saraki, Metuh and some small fries, they are already hailing, what will happen when Diezani, Okonjo, Okupe, Abati and Jonathan are handled with masculine hands? undecided

By then, the Pope, the Queen of Englan, French government and Russian government would hail. Sai Buhari

Buhari is indeed doing well.
Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by asEdeyHOT: 7:25pm On May 10, 2016
Excellent response to Cameron, a man whose father was a conniving criminal

He acknowledged that Buhari is doing a great job but still made those awful comments

Nigeria is on the rise under General Buhari

MEMO TO MY PRESIDENT, THE THIEF CATCHER...

My dear Mr. President,
Rankadede sir.

There is always this sense of excitement from your supporters whenever they hear that someone (always from the opposition) has been invited by EFCC. They go overdrive whenever figures are mentioned.

Let me make it clear: I am 100% in support of you if you go after those who were awarded contracts and collected money without working. I will be your anti-corruption ambassador of you go after service chiefs who diverted money meant for their services. I support you if you go after banks who aided money laundering. I am your man if you go after those itchy fingers at FIRS. Or those who collected defence contacts and subsidy claims and ran away. BUT YOU CAN NEVER BE MY GUY WITH THIS YOUR PROBING OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS. You know why? You are more GUILTIER than those you are pursuing!

It is not only immoral, but against law of natural fairness for you who publicly announced that you borrowed money to buy your nomination form, but ran a campaign of hundred of billions of naira. Where did your money come from? Let tell you certain things which you know about or pretending not to know.

* When Akin Ambode resumed as governor of Lagos State, the total money he reportedly met in ALL Lagos State bank accounts was a paltry N850m! It was the lowest in recent memory. Not that alone. Capital budget for the fiscal year had been executed up to 85%! Yet, that was just FIVE months to the year. We only saw capital spending without capital projects. If they present these facts before you, you cannot deny you don't know where these monies went to.

*Rivers State has been complaining over almost N100b missing few months to the end of one of your minister's tenure as governor. Invite Wike over and you will hear ween!

* Each state being ruled by your party was taxed to contribute to your campaign. Depending on the strength of their treasuries. But they tried to outdo themselves. Sir, can you swear by Allah that you don't know why many states could not pay salaries today? Ask your campaign treasurer! And also banks they took overdrafts from!

* One of your ministers today, who is seen as agents of change, actually took N1b bank loan to prosecute a second term election he lost in 2014. If you are keen at probing campaign funds, sit him down and ask how he intends to pay back. As I write this, the loan is still pending!

* There are couple of banks and oil service companies who contributed to your campaign funding too. Your EFCC has pretended as if it is not aware.

Politicians know themselves. They know how they fund campaigns. It is public funds. Contracts are inflated or outrightly not carried out. Funds are diverted. Banks play their own role. Contractors key in. On the eve of election, banks overwork themselves. From minister/commissioner down to special assistants, cash is provided for them to go and prosecute elections in their areas. These runs into billions. Is that acceptable? NO! BUT THAT WAS HOW YOUR OWN ELECTION WAS PROSECUTED TOO.

I learnt you turned the blind eye when all these were going on. You jettisoned your long held personal principle not to have anything to do with thieves. After winning election and assuming office, you wanted to pick that principle again and expect someone like me to hail you? No sir! Lailai!

Since you saw nothing wrong in people stealing to run your own campaign, you have no moral justification to go after those who equally stole to run their own campaigns too. Public funds are public funds, either in Abuja or Lagos!

I will continue this campaign until your DSS picks me up. That's the worst they can do!

Assurances of my highest regards! Say me well to the First Lady. Sorry, Wife of the Thief Catcher. Sorry again, Wife of the President...

Re: Transparency International Responds To Cameron Comments Regarding Nigeria by FlatheadCoward: 7:26pm On May 10, 2016
They actually made sense.
Nigeria just called out UK.
How can UK, who houses corrupt politicians and helps them to hide their stolen loots, still have the audacity to play saint? It's the same thing as UK/France asking Africans why their (African) native languages are dying.

I don't expect ipad yoots to see the sense in this reply. This is not about apku or Saraki.
