Never knew Dangote could be this vocal. He has been sitting on the fence for sometime now, especially when it comes to economical issues.

Poverty will not end without a successful onslaught against corruption.

Check Transparency International ranking of least corrupt countries and see if they are poor. Singapore is the fifth least corrupt country according to the TI ranking besides it boasts the highest millionaires(in USD) per capita in the world, the third largest seaports in the world not to talk of its world class educational standards.

All these did not just happen with magic, it took Lee Kew Yuan around 31 years (1959-1990) to change Singapore from a Third World to First World. Read this link http://www.straitstimes.com/opinion/fight-against-corruption-singapores-experience,

There is a problem with your logic I might as well say Poverty will not end till people stop having babies since the poorest countries have the highest fertility rates. This is a FALLACY. Correlation does not imply CAUSATION. Certainly there is a relationship of some kind between corruption and poverty but it is not a linear or causal relationship. There are so many factors involved. China has recorded the greatest level of economic growth over the last 30 years and the quickest in human history.China is indeed a very corrupt country so why are millions being lifted out of poverty in China so quickly? Have they defeated corruption?
We all have opinions but we must be careful about thinking they are anything more than opinions without good analysis

Good one. But then, do you think we are on the right path now to killing corruption or do we rather wait for 40 years like Singapore?

1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second chance.

2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.

3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.

4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.

5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.

6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.

7. IF YOU are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Past is a waste paper. Present is a newspaper and future is a question paper.

8. WHEN bad things happen in your life you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.

9. EMPTY pockets teach you a million things in life but full pockets spoil you in a million ways.

10. OUR EYES are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.

11. WE USED a pencil when we were small but now we use pens... do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can be erased but not now.

So read and write carefully otherwise life will be a tissue paper.

I love this.

I disagree with Dangote this once , I doubt if poverty is the reason behind kidnapping..if poverty was the reason at least most Nigerians would be kidnappers now ..Kidnapping is carried out by very few Nigerian and it's clear they are not even up to a thousand ,these people are are violent leeches driven by heavy greed ,they want to hammer ten of millions overnight without bidding their turn ..if poverty was the reason why do most Kidnappers who have already succefully made millions from past kidnaps and even own businesses go back to kidnap again?

Well thought out. Is kidnapping just starting now or its actually reduced now?
Kidnapping was at its peak from 2008-2013 in most of Niger delta Edo and Delta, Rivers and some South East states at a time when recession has not been declared.

Until they kidnap one of your own then you will come to realise that hunger motivate evil acts.

No o! They have just been correctly placed now! All along Nigerians gave been feeding off proceeds of corruption and living above their means especially during the 16yrs of PDP rule. It is now that they have taken their proper places of living within 'just and modest' means, designed for suffering and pain.
Dangote is simply making a case for his Fulani brothers. We all know that poverty and recession doesn't affect rainfall which in turn affects availability of green pasture for herds.

It took a military action threat against Fulanis for Dangote to realize the relationship between poverty and crime suddenly.

All Fulanis are the same . . .

Saying that you can kill corruption is as silly as claiming that you will end crime or eradicate all viruses.

You can mitigate against the human need to cut corners and take advantage of power but you will never end the practice.

You can make it more difficult and you can increase the consequences of such crimes.

Nigeria's problem isn't corruption as much as it is the attachment to ridiculous, irresponsible cultural habits - first of which is the obsession with procreation at all costs. The pressure that people put married couples under to have children makes so sense at all. Nigeria has millions of unemployed young people and huge infrastructure deficit and yet there are people in Nigeria pressuring their children, in-laws to start breeding with abandon.

It is this cultural norm that has lead to an increase in the number of desperate, corruptible individuals.
