Jonathan Explains Why "Maina Is A Thief And Not Corrupt" by finaly01(op): 4:13am On Oct 24, 2017
“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.

Jonathan was right in his statement, every educated person knows the difference. APC propagandists simply took advantage of the gullibility of Nigerians to insult the man.

In fact, corruption, bribery & stealing are in our blood. To make our country good; all of us need to change our attitude in this country to good.

GEJ is a legend. That's why it is far better to have a PHD holder leader than the one with a NEPA bill.

You are the clueless one all the while.... His explanation has been on public domain but you lots refused to read and understand.

Bribery and corruption is different from what these politicians are doing. They are stealing our money and Jonathan was advising we called them thieves instead of corrupt but no, the gullible ones who can't reason for themselves,who always wait for Lai Mohammed to tell them what to reason started shouting stealing is not corruption

“A thief should be called a thief and treated as such.

This is what GEJ is trying to explain.

There is but has a very light punishment that's why if convicted, you can be given a two year jail term for stealing ₦2billion while an ordinary citizen that stole ₦1000 can be given life imprisonment. Infact before then, you would have been given "better beating".

Corruption allows you to return some money you stole and go scotfree (and it is allowed in the law) but stealing means you are a thief and there's an exact punishment for that

Stealing is not corruption

Looters should be treated as thieves not pampered with corruption charges

Jonathan has absolutely no moral right to talk about this. Last I checked, the EFCC is still after his wife and he is wanted as a witness in Metuh's case
