Nothing.....


am just going to ask her to show me the way to the nation cake so that I can have my equal share....!!!!!!

Marriage counsellors say it is normal for people to share their workplace experiences with their spouses; in fact, they are supposed to act as confidants to each other. Assuming their spouses confide in them that they stole N100m from government coffers, some Nigerians told SATURDAY PUNCH what they would do

I will order her to return it


Prince Oladayo

That money doesn’t belong to her and she doesn’t have the right to have stolen it in the first place. That’s a criminal act and can lead her to jail. If she goes to jail, how will she enjoy the money? Wouldn’t that affect the reputation of our family? I cannot encourage her to keep the money. She must find a way to return it to the coffers of the government. It’s the people’s money and should not be spent for personal use. I will order her to return it.

I hate greed and corruption

Sharon Enyi

One thing I’ve observed is that government officials who steal are never satisfied. They are always greedy. Even if they have millions in their account, they are never okay. Is that a life? On the other hand, men with ideas rule the world. Look at people like Bill Gates, what greed will drive him to steal government’s money when he has ideas that can give him billions? It is poverty-minded people who steal because they don’t ever think they can make it without being corrupt.

It’s risky to spend such money

Odeniran Femi

First, I would ask her whether anyone else in her department or ministry knew about it because for her to have stolen that kind of money, some people would have been aware of it. If she said yes, then it must be very risky to spend such money. If she said no, then I cannot really say what will happen, but I will ask for God’s grace to resist the temptation.

I don’t want his confession

Funmike Ojewale

I don’t want his confession. If someone steals what doesn’t belong to them, is it not the proper thing for them to return it? It is when people want to seek for support that they confess such a thing. Ideally, he should have simply gone ahead and confessed to the government and return their money. I don’t want my husband to steal before he makes me happy, so he should do away with unclean sources of money.

Stealing is different from corruption

Eki Lucky

Like one of our former presidents would always say that stealing is different from corruption, that’s just the scenario here. This is just stealing and that doesn’t mean my wife is corrupt. As a matter of fact, I hate corruption with passion. I would tell my wife never to try such a thing again because doing it more than once is what can be termed corruption.

I’ll tell him to return it

Wale Rachael

There should be no debate about this. He should quickly return the money before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission goes after him. But if he’s willing to spend the rest of his life in jail, he may not yield to my suggestion. It’s just that he’s going to bring shame on our family and may affect the future of our children somehow.

Reputation is better than ill-gotten money

Ibirimo Obiene

I value someone’s reputation more than any other thing. How could she even have thought of such an evil thing? The Bible says a good name is better than gold and silver. That is my opinion about life. It is not about how much you can gather, but how much impact you make while you live. Stealing from the government is not a way of impact; it is destructive. I would ask her to return the money immediately.

He should return the stolen fund

Ada Rejoice

I am not going to encourage him to steal. In fact, I don’t believe a man must have millions of naira to make his wife and family happy. I will persuade him to return the stolen funds but if he doesn’t take to my advice, he should be ready to bear the consequences of his action. The mentality of ‘it’s-our-share-of-the-national-cake’ must end.

Our system doesn’t encourage returning such money

Solomon Ivoke

So many people who have stolen the wealth of this country blind are still walking on the streets like the rest of us. They are not bothered because they have not been arrested and jailed. Imagine someone stealing N1bn and asking them to pay N1m out of the money for bail, they still get to enjoy the remaining N900m. if my spouse is arrested, we can bail her out with N100,000 and the case is over. I am not saying this is what I will do, but I am just saying until we have very strong anti-corruption checks in place, we cannot move forward.

I don’t want a thief husband

Awotunde Biodun

I don’t want a husband that steals, whether from people or from the government. It’s a shameful act that should never be encouraged. When a man steals, his children too may likely take after him in future. So what sort of foundation is that? Of course, that kind of money can be tempting to resist, but if you have the fear of God, you won’t steal from people. You will work hard to make your own money.

If anything, news such as this justifies the election of Buhari as he, more than GEJ, is more likely to cut down on Govt corruption which proves more harmful at times like this. Govt corruption when oil is circa $100 p/b is less painful than when oil is $40 p/b.

The obvious flipside with Buhari is that he is unlikely to undertake those bold policy reforms which Nigeria requires such as subsidy removal, privatisation of Govt assets and greater deregulation of Govt assets. Partly, because he doesn't strike one as a deep thinker who understands what it takes to generate vibrant economic growth. Also, partly because he possesses a sectionalist mindset that often clouds judgement as to what is in the national interest. For an example of the latter, I suspect his reluctance to remove subsidy may be due in part to this entailing higher pump prices in the North than the South.

This is exactly what a lot of sane people are concerned about. Unfortunately most probe chanters do not realize Nigeria though perceived as a lawless country is not really lawless for people who know their rights, have the funds and time to pursue their cases with very smart lawyers on thier side.

Process is simple, investigate first, get court order for arrest, arrest and charge suspect to court within 48 hours. Failure to follow these processes will cost Nigerians a lot for damages in the long run without the government recovering nothing from the corrupt officials.

Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.

They always moan about the loss of direct jobs in the textile industry. But nobody calculates the quantity of jobs, taxes and rates that arise from the importation of cheap chinese products. How cost effective will it be to manufacture this type of goods locally? Will the money spent on importation be lesser/bigger than the amount spent producing some goods locally? Which helps spread the wealth around; creating a multi millioniare factory owner or legions of millionaires who make decent incomes through cheap importations while paying healthy taxes? We don't have to act based on emotional instincts here. Fact of the matter is that job is job. You have to be smart to know the areas of the economy where we are competitive and try to leverage enough funds to help investors in these areas. You don't have to go bananas simply because the kaduna textile industry went kaaput. . Dubai is not your typical example of a manufacturing center, yet billions are rekked in yearly through trade, taxes and levies on transactions.

Wike and the PDP have been using all manners of delay tactics to undo the APC. They claimed to have won election, why are they so afraid? Everything happening in Rivers state shows there was no election in Rivers state. Months after the election, they have refused for the inspection of electoral materials by the APC.until recent protest by the APC at the INEC HQs at Abuja where they ordered police from INEC HQs from Abuja to Rivers State for APC to commence inspection. Even at that, the PDP went on to destroy the 2 Generators there and damaged the electricity supply there. Yes, I may not like Wike and the PDP. But they have to win fairly. All what happened in R/S b4, during and after election was warfare and not election. I don't subscribe to violent election whether they are coming from my party, the APC or the PDP. Election did not take place in many part of R/S during last election including my ward ward 11 of Obio/Ajkpor, where I was supposed to vote. But we were all shocked to hear several thousands of vote declared by INEC in d state in favour of Wike.

Presently watching the APC rally LIVE on AIT where the President promised to be there LIVE to welcome the new members from other parties, but as at this time the dullard is no where to be found.

Did the dullard deceive them?

Is the dullard not a man of his word?

Was he high on Burukutu or Kunu when he made that statement?

What message is he sending to the people of Bayelsa who refused to vote for him?

APC is parading Sylva as a leader, Sylva is the worst Governor to have ever ruled Bayelsa. A thief that is well known.

This is the begining of failure for the APC in Bayelsa. They should stick to their Yoruba and Hausa states and leave the South-South for us.
