Gbawe:It was not my word, i was trying to quote what Dr NOI meant indirectly. So save the epistle for the Corinthians. Talking about corruption, it wouldn't be wrong to say 95% Nigerians are corrupt. Let's start with you. Imagine a bag of money worth N50m dropped on a lonely path, and you saw it. Your next action? |

Nice try minister. Next time, try to use a believable estimate. It's quite difficult to convince outsiders of a certain point when your own people can't stop laughing at the very point. Even you don't believe that 99.9% of Nigerians (169+ Millions) are "corrupti0n free." Even I can't stop laughing but still, nice attempt. Next time, try reversing the numbers; you might actual get closer to reality! |

it is in this country that someone stole billions of his state's money and was granted a national pardon, it is in this country that someone stole billions meant for pensioneers and was fined #10, it is in this country that someone admitted recieving bribe money and put the money in his cap and nothing is heard today, it is in this country that someone admitted to stealing the money of his state pleaded guilty and was told to pay a tithe out of the money to the government, it is in this country that the loot of a late head of state is far exceeding the budget of the country and is still being recovered,it is in this country that 40 billion is budgeted for a guest house for a first lady, it is in this country that 1 billion is budgeted for food, it is in this country that money grew wings and flew out the window of a certain glass house, it is in this country that someone refused to return my phone after i had forgotten it in his taxi,it is in this cou.................................., the list is getting too long for this post. |

Re: 99.9% Of Nigerians Are Honest - Okonjo-Iweala: True? by BizBooks(m): 1:19pm On Apr 17, 2013 |
Going by Okonjo-Iweala's figures, 99.9% of 170 Million = 169,983,0000. So what she is saying is that only 170,000 Nigerians are corrupt while 169,983,000 are not. I did not watch the interview but I'm sure those that did burst into uncontrollable laughter on hearing that. |

This interview was the first time I have ever heard NOI speak and to be honest she came across as a dubious individual who glaring answered all the questions posed to her in a manner devoid of honesty or intellect. She is neither intelligent nor well educated. Yes I didn't stutter, I meant what I said when I said she is not well educated. How she was ever employed in a position higher that of a janitor at the world bank is beyond me. Our President has a PhD yet he speaks like a spare parts dealer with no education. Nigeria is a nation led by dubious leaders whose credentials are also dubious. How many professors have we appointed into various ministerial positions since the advent of democracy in Nigeria? How many of them has ever achieved at least 10% of what their portfolio requires? I am starting to believe that this woman is a saboteur propped up by western covert agencies and made to look like some economic superstar so that the dumb Nigerian president could elect her as a minister. The woman I watched on Amanpour was neither competent nor intelligent enough to run a Pakistani corner shop talk less of a Finance ministry. We are in DEEP cycle trouble in Nigeria. We are being held hostage and many of us don’t even know it. The average Nigeria does not believe in experience, reputation or integrity. Instead we believe in popularity, big grammar and God fatherism. Any honest Nigerian knows that corruption is part of life in Nigeria. Without even conducting any research, anyone with half a brain can deduce that no less than 50% of Nigerians are corrupt. If we cannot be honest enough to admit our faults , how can we rectify them? I do not feel pity for Nigeria or Nigerians because we got ourselves in to this mess. When 2015 arrives we will vote for the same leaders again and come back to Nairaland to moan and complain when they do not govern well. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. If you use Garri to cook it will turn to Eba,it will never turn to pounded yam. It is common sense ,something that is not common at all amongst Nigerians. Maybe the whites are right that blacks cannot Govern themselves. We have had 50+ years to show that we govern ourselves progressively but we have intentionally out of our own will refused to do so. Something is seriously wrong with us Nigerians. 3 Likes |
