History Of Corruption In Nigeria! by SaintRobs: 8:43am On Dec 29, 2013
corruptisima re publica plurimae leges
In the most corrupt state are the most laws (Terence).

History Of Corruption In Nigeria
1. 1960 - 1966: Sir Abubakar Tafawa -Balewa's
tenure, no
public funds stolen
2. 1966: Major - General Aguiyi Ironsi's. brief tenure,
no public funds stolen
3. 1966 - 1975: General Yakubu Gowon's tenure,
very little
corruption creeping in
4. 1975 - 1976: General Murtala Ramat Muhammed's
tenure, zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline
5. 1976 - 1979: General Olusegun Aremu Matthew
Okikiola
Obasanjo's tenure, rulers
started owning large properties running into
millions of dollars
6. 1979 - 1983: President Shehu Shagari's tenure,
characterised by weak leadership.
Ministers and other top functionaries had a field day
looting
all the lootable public funds and properties even though the
President himself was not stealing any dime!
7. 1984 - 1985: Major - General Muhammadu
Buhari's
tenure, zero tolerance for corruption, indolence and
indiscipline. Corrupt politicians were jailed a minimum of
200 years in prison each!
8. 1985 - 1993: General Ibrahim Badamasi
Babangida's
tenure, freed all the corrupt
politicians jailed by General Buhari. These same freed
politicians are majorly the same set of politicians
ruining
Nigeria now. During Babangida's tenure public
funds were
being carted away by public servants like confetti. In one
swoop about 12 billion dollars mysteriously
vanished!
9. 1993 - 1998: General Sani Abacha's tenure, five
billion
dollars stolen in his five years tenure 10. 1998 - 1999: General Abdulsalami Abubakar's
11
months tenure, about 2 billion dollars were alleged
to have
been stolen. Anyway the man is among the
wealthiest people in the country today!
11. 1999 - 2007: President Olusegun Matthew
Aremu
Okikiola Obasanjo's second tenure, his bank
account grew
from twenty thousand naira after emerging from prison to
being a multi-billionaire with choice properties in
Nigeria
and major cities of the world. Public infrastructure
declined
massively and gangsterism became the order of the day by his party, the PDP. Corruption prospered
massively in his tenure! In one
swoop 16 billion dollars just vanished, allegedly for
electric
power projects but darkness was supplied and is
still being supplied in large quantity! In another mysterious
disappearance the sum of 300 billion naira )2 billion
dollars( meant for road projects also vanished into
thin air!
12. 2007 - 2010: Late President Yar'adua's tenure, a
quiet reserved and the messiah
that not live long to be! The noiseless tenure. But
due to
perpetual ill-health was unable to tame corruption
which is
the character and perfume of his party men and women in
the PDP. Had a slightly large family but he never
allowed
public funds to
be spent on feeding the first family!
13. 2010 - Present: President Nnamdi Azikiwe Ebele Goodluck Jonathan's tenure, full of noise but empty
of
substance. Spends about a billion naira per year for
food for
himself, wife and two kids. In the 2011 election year
about 2.6 trillion naira just disappeared from the public till,
which
is the highest disappearance of public funds per
year in the
country's history! Intolerant of criticisms. Suffers
acute inferiority complex and seems to dislike any war
against
corruption.ALSO,Blaming insurgency and violence on opposition instead of tackling the issues bravely like Yaradua,lootingevery where? Armourd cars scandal,keepingdeaf ears to corruption charges etc... A former Education Minister and Vice
President
of the World Bank, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili accused his
government and that of his immediate predecessor of not accounting for
about 67
billion dollars! Since then
his government has been responding in the manner
of a
headless chicken. They are busy insulting the woman instead of stating in facts
and
figures what they did with the money. In fact, the
SUNDAY
PUNCH newspaper of 25/11/2012 pointedly said
about 31 billion dollars were stolen since his government
came to
being on May 6, 2010. His government looks
promising to
hold the medal for the most corrupt in the world... NIGERIANS.. ARE WE GOING TO STAND UP AND SAVE OUR COUNTRY FRM DA HANDS OF DEMONS CALLED LEADERS OR KEEP FIGHTING OURSELVES ON RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC GROUNDS WHILE OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS SMILE TO THE BANK?? THE CHOICE IS YOURS
