Name The Most Corrupt Politicians Across Nigeria. by Ialwaysask: 2:42am On Jan 09, 2011 |
[b]Corruption has been the absolute hinderance to progress in Nigeria to date. Nigeria is a land rich natural resources, our nation should be an extremely wealthy nation, but due to corruption, mismanagement of funds and looting by politicians (polithevians) on all levels of governance, our nation has been left in tatters. Problems such as lack of constant electricity, poor roads, high levels of unemployment, rigged elections, diverting resources of state, collective greed, individual greed, dilapidated vehicles/machinery/buildings, poor infrastructures, incompetent police, bribery,bribing, crime, crookedness, demoralization, dishonesty, exploitation, extortion, fiddling, fraud, fraudulency, graft, jobbery, malfeasance, misrepresentation, nepotism, payoff, payola, profiteering, racket, shadiness, shady deals, shuffle, skimming, unscrupulousness and venality are just some of the issues our nation faces as a result of people who are in power misusing their position/power (blatant jobbery) at our expense. Most people in power are already corrupt, with a good leader we can move our beloved nation forward. Let's unravel who those have been stakeholders in derailing Nigeria. State the name of the politician, the position held, and their role and how they've excercised corruption.[/b] |

IBB, duh |
Re: Name The Most Corrupt Politicians Across Nigeria. by Ialwaysask: 2:52am On Jan 09, 2011 |
@Mens dept OK you've said "IBB duh" since it's so obvious list his malfeasances!! The point is not just to have a list of names, but a thread that details the corrupt activities of the miscreants identified. The more detail the better, I'm tired of hearing this and that person is corrupt, without detail of the corruption. If it's a looter let's have exact/approximate figures etc. |

Name :: Dr. Peter Odili Looted outrageously, slaughtered his political opponents, finally fled to Abuja. You'll ask what's the point? He can't sleep in a state he governed for 8 years! |
Re: Name The Most Corrupt Politicians Across Nigeria. by Ialwaysask: 4:51am On Jan 09, 2011 |
@Mobinga WoW! The fact that he can't stay in a state he governed says a lot indeed! So Abuja is the 'political haven' for these miscreants? Who's slaughter was he responsible for? |
Re: Name The Most Corrupt Politicians Across Nigeria. by Rhino5dm: 7:19am On Jan 09, 2011 |

1. Obj, (baba no dey carry last) 2. Ibori and family 3. Alamesigha (Bayelsa) 4. orji Kalu 5. Atiku I will not pick IBB because he was not a politician when he stole his money |
Re: Name The Most Corrupt Politicians Across Nigeria. by mensdept: 2:52am On Jan 11, 2011 |
Ialwaysask: I understand, but I'm not interested in beating a dead horse. IBB was and will forever be one of Africa's worst rulers. There's volumes of info on his misdeeds out there. I'm more interested in those looters under the radar, such as our so-called Senators, Representatives, and State Assembly folks |

@OP, from ward councilors to the President and every other candidate in between, the competition is too steep. Mind you alot of criteria need to be considered, the thief with the highest loot is not necessarily the best or most corrupt, you may be shocked at the tactic some LG chairmen are using to enrich themselves even if they end up only looting millions. |

@ Apoti, If you think Alams is one of the most corrupt politicians, you must have swallowed the heightened media coverage. GEJ and Timi Sylva are 10 times worse than Alams. Any structure in Bayelsa today was built by Alams. Alams may not make the top 300 most corrupt politicians sef. My top ten list: IBB OBJ Odili GEJ Atiku Ibori Tinubu Orji Kalu Anenih Timi Sylva 1 Like |

President Jonathan is not our bedmate, but anyone putting him among most corrupt persons in Nigeria, is plainly on a personal vendetta. C'mon! lets be rationale please and let go of this sensationalism and excitement. No politician in Nigeria, USA or any other place is free from corruption, because they use political power to boost their businesses and those of their allies, unfairly. Yet we can differentiate between those that has reaped the nation apart and those or relatives that are barely mentioned in relatively insignificant scams. I think we all know where GEJ stands in this case 1 Like |

The Most guilty persons are those who turn a blind eye/providing an enabling environment for corruption than those who actually stole money. 1. Obj 2 Atiku 3 YaraAdua 4 GEJ 5 Andokkaa 6 Bola Tinubu These people think they are enjoying life when in reality it is a curse they carrying. The chicken is coming home to roost. |
