I don't think the Rwandan president read the book, you don't pick the purpose of a book from it's title, I won't be surprised if the opinion of the president is even covered in the book.....

Are you tired of your current status, you feel you need encouragement, success strategies, business and academic moves, or want to learn from the likes of Bill Gates, Ben Carson, Albert Einstein and so on, then visit www.motivate.com.ng

President Kegame is absolutely right but then he must note:

"Tribalism & religious extremism are the incubators that breed corruption in most African nations, so in fighting corruption in Africa, African leaders must first do away with tribalism, ethnicism and religious bigotry which are greatest forms of corruption"

"Buhari has never fought corruption, Buhari has been busy fighting political opponents and those he does not like using federal and state resources and apparatus, that is not fighting corruption, that is political witch-hunting and every sane citizen of every nation must rise up against Presidents using country's resources and security apparatus to silence opposition in the name of fighting corruption.

If Buhari fought corruption truly, even corrupt Nigerians themselves will hail and respect him, but what Buhari is currently doing is setting bad precedents for incoming Nigerian Presidents to capitalize on"

You have some valid points but The main issue is have we all in Nigeria agreed on the definition of corruption in Nigeria? That is the starting point, start asking the average Nigerian to define corruption and you will be shocked just like the former president told us that stealing is not corruption.

Until we all agree on the same definition of corruption, then we will be serious, PMB is not the problem but we Nigerians! Even the religious bodies in Nigeria are yet to agree on the definition of corruption

And any one who thinks that Buhari and APC government is fighting corruption is a myopic,gullible and incurable fool. END OF DISCUSSION!

Great talk not fighting corruption is dangerous and satanic but fighting it only on perceived enemies is very very and very dangerous and extremely satanic.

So tell Buhari to free all his ministers with looting cases in their various state to return home to answer their querries.

Tell Buhari to remove Akpabio from his campaign team. Akpabio is owing Nigeria $700 million he looted and we need the money back. Tell Buhari to make nationwide broadcast that all looters that jumped fence to his party should pls be ready for probe.

Tell Buhari we need statement and EFCC ICPC investigation on the $25 billion NNPC fake contract ASAP.

Tell Buhari we need EFCC to take over with immediate effect Ikoyi gate, Daura gate, Grass cutter gate, Meina gate, Aisha gate, Osubandit gate, Ganduje gate, Oshio chimpz gate etc.

Anything short of the list above apc plus kegame or Kegaga should shut da f u c k. Nothing like fighting corruption in Nigeria and that is why none of these armed robbers called politician has not learn any lesson till today.

So Kegame should mind his business and shut up he doesnt know what we are going through in the hand of Buhari with his fake corruption fight here.

ACHILLES45:
this one has not even finished rescuing his war shattered country, every body want to advise nigeria.

do u even know Paul kagame and his legacy in Rwanda?

Goke7:
What a shame! We keep lying to ourselves as Nigerians that corruption is not our major problem and the world keep mocking us.

Nothing more to say that that; God bless you bro.

ATIKU WANTS TO EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT

Atiku latest adventure in trying to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in matters of integrity with President Muhammadu Buhari is a political suicide mission from which we thought his handlers would have tried to steer him away. But alas! They have decided to test the waters. Locally and internationally President Muhammadu Buhari stands several miles away from Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in matters of integrity. When the President used all his life in public office building a reputation and a name, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar used all his life in public office to build mansions and acquire personal wealth. Now Judgment Day has come when the credentials needed by the Nigerian people for the highest office are not the buildings and wealth but the simple quality of integrity.

Atiku cannot eat his cake and have it.

martineverest:
do u even know Paul kagame and his legacy in Rwanda?

Yea he is good leader no doubt about it but he does not know what is going on here so he should mind his business because if he has be settling his wartorn nation the way Buhari and apc are doing here in Nigeria his country would have no longer exist by now.

seunmsg:
In what appears like a subtle shade, Rwandan President Paul Kagame took to Twitter to advice Ngozi Okonjo Iweala to write another book on, “Not fighting corruption is even more dangerous “.

This message also goes to all lovers of corruption like Peter Obi who feels we should concentrate on opening shops alone and allow rogues to plunder our resources without restrain. We cannot make any progress as a nation until we collective battle the menance of corruption.

Corruption needs to be fought. But fighting it selectively while shielding your own men who are equally corrupt is hypocritical and indirrectly promoting same corruption.

tesppidd:
If we only appreciate the level of corruption in Nigeria then we would not mind even a selective anti corruption crusade.

Just last week in the company where I work, a guy was fired for busting a procurement fraud which had existed in the company for over 15 years. He was sacked for exposing it!

The level of corruption that thrives in Nigeria could be fought to a reasonable extent over a minimum of 20 years.
Just to a reasonable extent!

I really do not mind if the APC' s target is only on the PDP members, as long as they have stolen money from Nigeria.

When next PDP returns to power, they should witch hunt every corrupt person in the APC.
Yes they should!

Little by little we will get from this level of 95 percent corruption to 50 percent.

Selective fight against corruption does more harm than good. Ever heard the word hypocrisy? It is knowing something is wrong and refusing to take actions because it affects you and your close allies.

Better not fight Melaye for stealing than fight him and still keep even greater criminals as friends. This is a "worse" form of anti-corruption and it is doing more harm than good.

Nigeria as far as I'm concerned is not fighting corruption.

The Buhari many of you f00lishly talked about in 2014 is that Buhari that would jail Gandollar and that Ex PDP Senator that immediately became a saint after waving the broom. The Buhari many of you envisioned only existed in the figment of your imaginations. The current one is no different from some of the greatest thieves ever known in this country.

Nigerians don't be deceived..There is corruption in every country of the world...the menace requires a continuous and systematic approach to tackle. Building a more dynamic institution to prevent corruption is quite better than fighting it just like an adage says...Prevention is better than cure. Nigerians are alwaz in a rush and haste to get things done....just like our leaders fought for independence at the wrong time...Gradually am so sure we will get there and get it right soon. Just as we have condemned all previous govt, I strongly believe each administration has contributed something positive to the building and development of this great nation...Nigeria is better off that 1999 truth be told....Even if you hate PDP, alwaz acknowledge the fact the party deepened and sustained democracy and also allowed smooth transition to an opposition..and that is the basis of all we are talking about today. So many institution created, satellite launched, debt recovery and the rest of it...that laid the foundation the APC is now building on..so my believe is so strong that we are gradually getting there...If the welfare of a civil servant is not enhanced so as to live a normal and fulfilled life...fighting corruption is like chasing shadows.

Goke7:
Lies, go and launder or steal money in any western nation and see if they will leave you alone like we do in Nigeria. Iweala was only trying to defend her ministerial tenure in Nigeria to draw pity on her efforts to fight corruption

the iraq and libya wars was not corruption ba The funding of rebels is not.

Guide777:
" Not Fighting Corruption is more dangerous " when you got your economics right. How can your only economic policy be " I am fighting corruption " yet you are surrounded by cronies using you as a cover to root
Peoples trust . Everyday investors pull out, jobs are lost, inflation everywhere, and your currency is worthless. I rather suggest that @NOI should write another book titled " How not to fight corruption " and the one Kageme want for his country.

the only economy policy of thief atiku/obigot, pdp and the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of biafra terrorist is importation and corruption.

Many people misunderstood President Goodluck's statement that stealing is not corruption.

APC used their media propaganda back then to blow it out of proportion.

Goodluck was trying to make Nigerians understand that stealing is just an end product of corruption and not the real corruption which I tend to agree.

Corruption goes beyond stealing, corruption is a system that produces stealing and other social vices including stealing.

When it comes to leadership corruption, it goes beyond stealing which was what Goodluck was trying to make Nigerians understand.

Leadership corruption is a systematic approach that involves chains of human systems that connive to perpetrate all manner of evil practices that undermine a nation's growth and development.

When a President ignores rule of law and national laid down policies and bi-laws and appoint cabinet members based on his own personal sentiment and perception, that's a greater form of corruption, but in this case the President did not steal but he has started a system that will breed corruption because there won't be balance to checkmate excesses.

When a President says I will do this and then turns around to do that, that's corruption because he has reneged on his promise to the people but then, that President didn't steal but he is corrupting the system of leadership through lies, deceit, promise and fail, bigotism and above the law kind of ambience.

So if you forget sentiment and partisanship and analyze Goodluck's infamous statement that **stealing is not corruption** you will understand his point.

Close the loopholes and corrupt systems that will breed corruption and then stealing will become hard for corrupt people that was Goodluck's ideology with NOI which was the reason why they started bank BVN, NIM, TSA and many others to ensure that corrupt systems that encourage stealing are closed.

Nigerians ought to be celebrating Goodluck and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala for BVN and TSA, these two great initiatives from them has helped to reduce and curb stealing in Nigeria.

Buhari's approach is to use soldier, EFCC, DSS to be harassing people, that cannot stop or end corruption in any nation, you need to put systems in place to stop and discourage corrupt practices not through guns and bombs

Do you people understand the concept of the book

Have you read it

So many goats and senseless people in my unfortunate COUNTRY of origin
Kagame gives a suggestion and all these e rats are running their mouth

With this kind of book, NOI has spoken the minds of some Nigerians, while Kagame obviously set forth the thoughts of another section of Nigerians. Either way, it's crystal clear that the coming general elections will be a battle between those who love corruption and those that do not!
For me, I will go by the saying that "as you lay your bed, so shall you lie on it"

The choice is ours!

Is only in Nigeria that we have people that defend corruption practices, celebrate people accused of corruption and fight any system that fight corruption.

Let buhari jail Governor Gaduje

Let buhari jail the pension thief Maina

Let buhari all efcc investigate Amaechi from looting rivers state when he was governor

Let buhari allow effc investigate the money laundering going in Lagos State via Alphabeta LLC

Let buhari tell us how people in the presidency used his family name to purchase 9mobile and Keystone bank

Let buhari tell us where his wife Aisha got N25 billion that her aide stole , isn't that Nigeria's money that can be used to build schools, roads , hospitals and pay salaries?

Let buhari allow efcc investigate Akpabio for looting Akwa ibom when he was the governor

Let buhari allow efcc investigate NNPC granting contracts worth $25 billion without due process

If buhari in is trully fighting corruption let him order NNPC to open there books for external auditing

If buhari is fighting corruption let him allow efcc question his inlaw Abbu kyari who was fingered in money laundering of over N20 billion two months ago

if buhari is fighting corruption let him explain how come despite increasing fuel price to N145 he claimed he was stopping subsidy payments yet he has paid over N3 trillion in just three years , when pdp didn't pay that amount in 16 years without increasing fuel.price so what is going on?

If buhari is fighting corruption let him carry out a free and open national census let us see how many people actually live in Nigeria and compare that against his subsidy payments

If buhari is fighting corruption let him explain how come he claimed he has boosted agriculture yet United Nations and world Bank said by next year Nigeria will be the world's largest importer of rice? So where are all the imaginary rice farmers who he said he empowered? Or is Nigeria now exporting rice and importing double the amount we export?

If buhari is truly fighting corruption why is he not respected for his anti corruption fight internationally? It's obvious the international community know better.

If he is doing well why had no international government declared support for his re-election like how they did in 2015? Not one government has come out to say "Nigeria will be better off if buhari continues as president" just like they were doing back in 2015 when even the American president declared support for him, same with the British PM or the German Chancellor

If buhari is fighting corruption why did he put his daughter as a board member of NNPC ? Why?

No wonder he can't order NNPC to open their books

If buhari is fighting corruption why is he not addressing the expenses of his $1 billion loan to fight book Haram? How was the money spent ? Yet we are seeing videos everyday of our soldiers crying or not having weapons!

If buhari is fighting corruption why didn't he order an investigation into Magu the efcc chairman who had been fingered by so many sources are being a condition pipe of money laundering for his inlaw Kyari?

Why did DSS report state clearly that Magu is unfit to be the efcc chairman due to failing several integrity tests yet buhari went on to endorse him?

If buhari is fighting corruption why did he not allow efcc investigate the IG on money laundering charges ?

If buhari is not corrupt why create a yearly budget for health care and yet he goes abroad for all medical issues meaning the minister of health is incompetent.. so where does our yearly health budget go?

If buhari is not corrupt why float the naira against the dollar when you know you don't have a thriving local industry to booster your currency? So who is benefiting from this floating of the naira against the dollar ? The parallel market operators? Who runs this dollar dollar market in Nigeria?

You know the answer to that question

The Buhari many of you envisioned only existed in the figment of your imaginations. The current one is no different from some of the greatest thieves ever known in this country.

In an ideal world yes.

But in the Nigerian context selective anti corruption war is still a million times better than not fighting it at all.

Nigeria is a special country, call it a zoo like Nnamdi Kanu if you would.

I just gave an example with my small sample space which is the company where I work.

In most companies in Nigeria people get sacked for exposing fraud.
In Nigeria family members insult and criticize their uncles and fathers for not stealing while in government positions.

Any government in this country which decides to go against it's members and loyalists gets booted out with a twinkle of an eye.

The day Buhari and the EFCC decide to go against the Tinubus and the Amaechis who are ALLEGED to be corrupt, that day they begin the process of removing him.
The day Buahri decides to send the EFCC against the 60 senators who are on his side, the very next day his impeachment proceedings begin.

Stop being in dreamland.
Stop thinking you are in an ideal society or in a reasonable society.

All of this idea of going after everybody will never work in Nigeria.

It will be a pass mark for Buhari if,
Out of every 10 he prosecutes 8 are PDP and 2 are APC.

When PDP comes they do same.

QueenEsther1:
Each Nigerian home is very powerful. The people that occupy Nigeria come from homes. Reorientation should begin from the home and it will spread the the society. Let's make Nigeria great again.

This is part of what I was saying.

Only fools and illiterates believe that Buhari is fighting corruption.

Buhari has never fought corruption.

His idea of fighting corruption is corruption of its own.

If Buhari happens to come from civilised nations, he will end up in jail after his tenure but because Nigerians support leaders and politicians based on the tribe he or she comes from and based on his or her religion, Buhari who happens to come from a tribe with highest number of uneducated and unenlightened people and from a religion that goes by the command given to them at the general gathering, who see leadership as their sole way of advancing their religious domination, Buhari therefore enjoys a cult like followership that makes it seem like the wrong things he has been doing are the right things to do.


It is only God that knows the truth, and one day, the truth will be made known, one day.

Oga, corruption is so simple to define, no need of long talk, GEJ goofed by making such statement to justify the malpractices happening under his watch. All the BVN and TSA you talked about, GEJ could not implement them fully to avoid the politicians going broke but the full implementation of those procedures is what has created a lot of enemies for PMB among the politicians so what are we talking about.

We all need to agree on the right definition of corruption or else we are all jokers. The loopholes you are talking about, if they are all closed, we all including you and I will be up in arms against any govt that will finally block all the loopholes of corruption. It's as simple as making sure every car owner have up to date valid vehicle documents. Are you sure we all are ready for that?

Read NOI's book first, then come back and comment.
NOI and Kagame are saying same thing. Okonjo's book highlighted her challenges in fighting corruption and the resistance and even threats she faced from entrenched interests.

She was simply saying that corruption must be stopped but don't expect it to be easy.

Kagame's comment is a play on words (pun), not a sly dig.

People should try and read more, abeg. Everything is not politics.

What u all hear about the country is fallacy owing to the fact that it emerged from a devastating genocide. 90% Rwandese live below poverty line, tax is so high, corruption may not be as high as in Nigeria because in the first place they don't produce anything tangible. Remove Kigali, and I tell u Rwanda is a remote community..

The creation of money itself was way to trick finance! Corruption is laden in every economy. You have to manage corruption! You can’t totally kill corruption cause it’s a cycle!

We need to take advantage of corruption and not follow the multitude of kill corruption! We must learn how to harness the weakness of corruption but saying totally eradicating it is like saying you want to totally eradicate racism it will always be there so far finance services are been rendered!

The corruption practiced in Nigeria is highly detrimental, plans for infrastructure building would be made and money paid but not a single brick would be laid. They should atleast do the best job possible, then charge ridiculous fees, then it would be a win win situation for the corrupt individuals and the masses. Take for example a world class stadium is built, construction fees and materials would be inflated but it would recouped down the line. Our own politicians dont think like that.

If we only appreciate the level of corruption in Nigeria then we would not mind even a selective anti corruption crusade.

Just last week in the company where I work, a guy was fired for busting a procurement fraud which had existed in the company for over 15 years. He was sacked for exposing it!

The level of corruption that thrives in Nigeria could be fought to a reasonable extent over a minimum of 20 years.
Just to a reasonable extent!

I really do not mind if the APC' s target is only on the PDP members, as long as they have stolen money from Nigeria.

When next PDP returns to power, they should witch hunt every corrupt person in the APC.
Yes they should!

Little by little we will get from this level of 95 percent corruption to 50 percent.

How i love your comment

so Buhari implemented BVN

I am done with you sir, have a blessed day

Do you know how much funds are lying idle in many accounts because of BVN implementation? Think of that. Truth is we need to check the dictionary meaning of corruption and not rely on GEJ's definition of corruption if we are serious and want the world to take us serious too. That's the summary of kegame's message. Have a blessed day too.
