This bad.prays she is found safe.Blame it on this govenrments inability to secure nigerians.

And what shall we blame your lack of common sense on? Deficient nutrition? Extreme poverty?

Someone is missing, parents are in serious panic and you're here trying to score cheap political points. Are you insane?

This man is just using intellectual fraud

This is why you always see people on the streets, rejoicing and welcoming us as messiahs and redeemers. The rest, as they say is history”.

[b]The hysteria and euphoria that greeted General Buhari’s election victory is reminiscent of these sentiments. You get a sense of de javu, we have been on this road before, it all looks so familiar.

Already insinuating that Buhari's anti-corruption drive is doomed to fail and that Buhari will dissappoint Nigerians like all the other past military leaders.

SenseiX:

[b]I believe the outpouring of emotions welcoming the new administration was necessary and understandable, given the nature of the trepidation ahead of the elections.

No, Mr Kukah. The outpourings of glee was understandable given the mediocrity and corruption friendly image of the previous administration. But you cannot bring yourself to admit Nigerians wanted to get rid of your bosom buddies in PDP, instead hiding under 'trepidation ahead of the elections'

nonsense

SenseiX:

We have moved a step further by saying that if we do not kill corruption, corruption will kill us. I consider most of this analysis a bit shallow, lacking in a serious understanding of how societies and human nature work in semi-primitive society such as ours. My argument therefore is to say that, no, we should not be talking of fighting corruption, rather, we should see corruption as a symptom of something that is intrinsically wrong with our society, the loss of the moral centre of gravity of our society.

Rubbish.

Most western countries have citizens that also possess dubious morals, some with perversions worse than Nigerians. Why do those societies lack the overt stealing with impunity that we have here?
Is it not because we have failed to set an example by fighting corruption, tackling corrupt officials and ensuring that thieves are shamed as should be?

SenseiX:



If corruption is so evil, how come we are so much at peace with it? If corruption is so rotten, how come we all seem to enjoy its company? What are the agencies for corruption? What capacity do they have? Are they above the fray or are they also caught up in the same web of corruption?

Is cleaning up the agencies not one of Buhari's goals in his anti-corruption war? Is it not part of the 'fighting corruption' that you criticize?

SenseiX:

How much bribe does a President need to pay to get an anti-corruption agency or bill passed in the legislative assembly? Why has corruption become so easy and pervasive and why is it that, like MTN would say, it is everywhere you go?  What makes it so attractive? If we are so much against it, how is it that we cannot generate a collective sense of moral revulsion?

Childish questions. It's the same as saying 'why can't we solve world hunger'

Corruption is here to stay, and it WILL remain attractive for the forseable future. The goal is to build up laws and institutions to tackle corruption, and to punish those who corruptly enrich themselves. Not waffling in the wind about 'improving morals'.

It did not start with Nigeria. There's a reason the Bible says "Stolen water is SWEET"

Guide thy utterances mister lest you be the one to welcome him when he lays on that bed beside yours.

Is he wrong?

The period he was in rehab is far too short to nail down an effective treatment.
