So, top civil servants are now selling off their choice properties just to escape the eyes of anti corruption agencies?Was it not Chief Arthur Nzeribe that made a recommendation in the Senate when he was a senator that solving the problem of corruption in Nigeria was a very simple thing since all that needed to be done was tie assets and properties to their owners and then ask the owners to explain source of income or...
Any serious fight against corruption in Nigeria would see almost all the civil servants, politicians, policemen, PHCN workers and businessmen either executed or serving life jail terms. If you eradicate corruption a lot of people would commit suicide because being corrupt is the only way they know and without corruption they will simply shut down. This is how bad the situation is in Nigeria and this is why no serious anti corruption fight has taken place...
Was it $6b or $9.3b that Oshiomole heard? If it is indeed true that one Nigerian has $6b or at least two Nigerians have $9.3b in their bank accounts then PMB should prosecute them, get the monies back to Nigeria and use same to tackle some of the problems on ground from defending the naira to sorting out this fuel scarcity to investing in whatever infrastructure he wants to focus on. There is no time to...
GEJ was president for 5 years and he had the powers to probe any previous regime but decided not to. That was his style and his style must be respected. PMB has the powers to probe any previous regime and if he decides to probe the immediate past regime we must respect his decision and style. What we should oppose is the idea of innocent Nigerians being persecuted and prosecuted for what they didn't do. PMB...
The recent arrests, prosecution, difficult to meet bail conditions and detentions of politicians including governors should be celebrated and the fact that it is the same EFCC leadership that is doing all these simply means that Lamorde led EFCC didn't feel he had the backing of the former president to go after high profile politicians. The Ibrahim Lamorde I know will go after anyone if the government of the day gives him a free hand to...
Timipre Sylva, Fani Kayode, Buruji Kashamu all discharged and acquitted with charges brought against them either dismissed or dropped. Murtala Nyako has returned to Nigeria and nothing against him. Rabiu Kwankwaso is asking the court to prevent EFCC from arresting him. All these either happened or are happening under PMB/APC administration and you still have the audacity to accuse GEJ/PDP of not fighting corruption even when GEJ was using technological innovations to make it difficult for...
Should we forgive looters and thieves just because they are politicians?The simple and sensible answer is NO.We cannot be talking about empty treasury when individuals amassed so much wealth (illegally I must add) by diverting funds meant for the country, states or LGAs into their own personal accounts.The fact that individuals that didn't have up to N50,000.00 in their bank accounts now have over N500,000,000.00 in their bank accounts without any thing they can point to...
All over the world it is an established fact that crimes or offenses that attract the death penalty are few when compared to those that don’t ask for the supreme price in exchange for crimes. Areas when death penalties have done wonders include drug trafficking, murder and armed robbery. But it seems we are forgetting a very important group of people that commit crimes that affect very negatively the lives of many, most times running into...
