Less corrupt, but still corrupt. There is no difference between a petty thief and a thief that engages in theft on a grand scale.
you can't compare our democracy then and now, that man actually performed wonderfully,he changed our vision about how democracy works from the style of obj who combined democracy with kakiocracy,if that tempo was sustained this country would have been far better

Who stopped Ibori corruption trial before he was convicted in UK. Ibori was one of his major backers.

I have insider information, Yaradua had a quiet demeanor,but he was no different from his fantastically corrupt predecessors.

Most corrupt is Buhari but the mystery is how he is able to hide his loot from the public.
Easy. He hasn't got any loot and you are making it up that he has, or you are just blind.

Personally I think the most less corrupt presidents will be Yar'Adua and PMB, The most corrupt is that man from Ogun state state, and the one from Kano state. I won't say name before someone says I am insulting OBJ and Abacha
The most clueless who keep shut while others made away with billions is that man from Otueke, though I do not think he is a thief but he breed thieves
But none is fantastically corrupt, just corrupt
I am talking about our presidents

If its Governors, there are a lot of corrupt gov but seriake Dickson from Bayelsa sate takes the crown.

Payment for Services rendered or to be rendered. If I were Falae I would charge N1 billion. As for Buhari and APC,I would get a good Lawyer and sue the miserable Government for everykobo they have. It's more than corrupt to misappropriate N36 billion Abacha Loot Recovered on imaginary Almajiris.

Let us have International Firm of Investigators to probe Buhari's Government. If Falae or Obasanjo were in England, their monthly earnings would be in excess of a million pounds. This is a Lifeless Government that is just catering for Almajiris and devaluing and killing Elites everyday.

Less corrupt Nigerian leaders: Obafemi Awolowo, Umaru Musa Ya'radua, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe. GEJ isn't corrupt but he's weak so, his subordinates used his weakness to loot the treasury

Most Corrupts: Abacha, Mohammadu Buhari, IBB. Buahari is fantastically corrupt but he's an excellent pretender who's actually worst
Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe were the first set of politicians to face corruption allegations
Nnamdi Azikwe- With African Continental Bank
Obafemi Awolowo -Was found guilty of corruption by the Coker Commission in 1962

They were all trumped-up charges by enemies of Nigeria who wanted them out of the way so they could steal and destroy the country. If Awolowo was a thief, he wouldn't have perform wonders with the little resources he had in the West

But the Coker commission that convicted Owolowo for corruption was headed by a Nigeria.And Nnamdi Azikwe was accused of having withdrawn $5.6 million in government funds and depositing it in a bank of which he was a shareholder to prevent the bank’s collapse.

Since Nigeria got independence in 1960, $582 billion dollars has been looted by it's fantastically corrupt politicians- who are world renown for turning the country to the corruption and poverty capital of the world. Is there a single politician that has served without blemish that did not become a billionaire after office with bullion vans,private jets,luxury cars and real estate in Maitama,Garki,Banana Island,Ikoyi,VGC,Victoria Island etc and outside the country.

Awolowo is a thief just like Tinubu, and if he had ever ruled Nigeria, he would have sold Nigeria.


He converted most Nigerian institutions in Lagos and Ibadan to his personal properties, and also converted Igbo people's monies saved in Nigerian banks before the civil war to his own and returned some to Gowon led Nigerian government.


Awolowo was a desperate man, those Igbo soldiers that carried out coup for him thinking he would have been a better President if they made him Nigeria's President in 1966 messed up because Awolowo was so power desperate that after he stepped down voluntarily from being Premiere of Western Region in order to contest for Nigeria's Presidential seat which he lost to Nnamdi Azikiwe, he returned back to Western Region to tell Akintola whom he handed over the Western Premiere seat to, to step down for him to climb back, who does thathuh

And Akintola's refusal to step down for him led to the political war that destroyed Western Nigeria and pushed the young soldiers from all parts of Nigeria led by Igbo soldier to carry out the first coup as a way of trying to free Awolowo who was jailed to make him President which they failed woefully!!!



So forget that Awolowo gave free education to the Yorubas in the west, he was never a corrupt free leader, he was as greedy and corrupt as Tinubu of today

personally I think corruption should be In a depraved state, debased, perverted, morally degenerate, weak in morals.
on a scale of 1-100, Buhari will score more than 50 in all of these, its my opinion though and I respect yours even if you give him negative score lol
