socialmediaman:Excellent points. EFCC and the police can be under one item but we need to promote based on merit in the entire civil service. Same should apply to hiring in the first place. I found it crazy that people still push papers in the civil service in this day and age. We need to digitalize our civil service. |

I will use technology. lol! No, I am naturally an anti-curruption guy by nature (nothing has to be put in place to make me do the right thing), so I would find pple like me and put them in all the top positions. But ofcos, that won't be enough...I'll also put a heavy penalty (heavy jail time) in place for pple that are found corrupt. That would definitely do it. Anyway,if you have problem lastinglong in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC. |

Borrussia: dats why GEJ said "stealing is not corruption". A petty thief steals out of desperation or as a last resort to feed himself or family while a politician embezzles public funds simply out of greed. They are not in the same category. Petty thieves are only killed (according to the law) if they engage in "armed robbery". I dont see hw a politician can buy himself out of court decision. Capital punishment is the only way if we want to be serious abt tackling corruption. Its too endemic in our society. 3 Likes |

I think making death penalty the punishment for corruption is enough to help fight it. |
Re: If You’re The President Of Nigeria, How Will You Tackle Corruption? by deniyor: 3:55pm On May 09, 2015 |
Twaci: Absolutely disagree. Corruption can be eradicated. The percentage of corrupt Nigerians is extraordinarily high. Thats why we have underachieved so far. |

There's nothing like tackling corruption, instead of tackling corruption, why not handle attitudinal greed in the society. It's as simple as stop financing state owned Agency that generate revenue, privatize state owned companies, institute a price regulatory body comprising of professionals from government institutions. Recognize patriotism and statesmanship than Titles and affluence. Impose adequate taxing system on wealthy individuals and confiscate everything owned by anyone allegedly involve in any corrupt practices and deny his relatives state opportunity such as free education and health, also ensure such person profile is disregarded internationally and place trade ban on any nation that deals with such individual. I can go on and on because it's not the politicians that are corrupt, it's those managing the system mostly. To cap it all, there should be an unwritten law to combat corruption cases such that council of jury mainly from among the citizens decide the fate of anyone indicted. Within a decade, Nigerians will take pride in contentment and those that would seek political offices would leverage on there clean social status. 1 Like |

Borrussia: Corruption is in every section of Nigeria. Not just oil sector. It's ingrained in our every day lives. You can point at politicians like Obasanjo or Tinubu, but you need to look at yourself too. How corrupt are you in your every day activities. I'm sure if we bring a microscope to your personal life, work etc we might need to get rid of you too. 1 Like |

One area we often don't look at when corruption is discussed is the Civil service. Corruption is so endemic in the civil service that it might even take God Himself to personally come down and sanitize it. Since most of them have been working there for 20, 30 years, they know all the loopholes to appropriate money to themselves. Infact, I'm even inclined to believe that they play a great role in the fraudulent excessiveness of our politicians. But to an extent, I won't blame them though. This is because this is a country where you serve your country with your productive years and after retirement, they dump you and refuse to carry out their obligation in the form of pension. So many of these pensioners have died trying to claim what was theirs. Those that are not dead are suffering in silence with no hope for them and their families. Now, the younger ones in the civil service know this and you expect them not to feather their nest and protect their future? No way! Thus, I will firstly revisit pending cases of pension thieves and convict anybody found guilty. This is to show that I mean business and to also serve as a deterrent to others. I will employ strong and reliable mechanism to protect pension fund from theft. Finally, I will review the rigorous procedures these people are subjected to all in the name of screening out impostors. I believe the exercise can be stress-free and still achieve same objective. |

Re: If You’re The President Of Nigeria, How Will You Tackle Corruption? by kayusbrown(m): 4:01pm On May 09, 2015 |
Very simple. All public officers must take oath of office with Ogun, Sango or Ayelala. That's all! |

Ezenwammadu: Be sure to start the killings with you and your family. Most nigerians are being hypocritical in thinking they are not corrupt in their every day lives. Quick to blame politicians and others as being corrupt. Dude, look at yourself and your family first. |

1. Address both chambers of the house of the Assembly that corruption will not be tollerated. 2. Direct the House of Assembly to remove immunity for law makers, and government officials. 3. Use the media as a tool. Announce the cases to the public. Announce details of the trials to the media. 4. Use technology to stop corruption. 5. Tougher penalties for the people caught. In addition to the fines, all properties will be seized and auctioned off for restitution payments. Right now if you steal 1 billion Naira, you can pay about 7 million Naira fine to avoid jail. You get to keep the remaining loot. 6. Work with the International community. We need countries to ban Nigerians from having International bank accounts if they are not working or living in a foreign country. 7. Better cooperation with Interpol to investigate the flow of money overseas. Also to investigate rogue accounts. 8. Conduct secret investigations on all government and private institutions. 9. Strengthen all institutions. 10. Empower the auditor general to investigate every level of government. 11. Independent EFCC and attorney general. 12. Strengthen whistle blower laws 13. Better witness protection program 2 Likes |

I'll give them the chance to return 50% of their loot and also ban their family members till 3rd generation from political posts. Failure to comply will leads to execution of all names on your stolen properties if you lose your trail |
