tinsel:
What is happening with this government is what happens when you are not in control of your house. I believe this is the main reason the first family is always speaking out against the governmemt. Those in government and around the government are chopping while the first family is probable left behind and isolated. The corruption in the system is so massive because the man in charge is not in control.

ORIENTATION101:
It was Tinubu that embezzled the money.

The afonja man is too corupt

NDDC and NNPC. The cesspits of corruption in Nigeria

omenka:
They system is rotten not just to the core, but to the atomic level!!

Buhari, you have lost the anticorruption war, the premise upon which some of us became staunch supporters of you!

All you needed to do from day one was show a few examples, making every subject under you understand there'd be no sacred cows. In the beginning, everyone was terrified to touch what wasnt theirs, but to their greatest surprise, you let them nibble without reacting. Seeing your aloofness as they nibbled, they turned their nibble to a mouthful bite, leading us where we are today.

To say I am disappointed is an understatement!

Jack005:
Bro,i understand your point but the president should not have appointed such a corrupt man as Akpabio to head such an Agency, a man who has so many corrupt cases hanging on his head. Buhari keeps appointing corrupt people into agencies due to party affiliation and tribe.

SmartProf:
I'm not surprised...some of them don't even know the meaning of NDDC...they are just there to enrich themselves at the detriment of the Niger Delta region and chop money until their lips become pink. Meanwhile those agitation groups in the Niger Delta are keeping silent now without protesting, seeing that their brothers are the ones dealing with their developmental resources. That's to tell you that even if Nigeria is separated into countries based on regions, there will be little or no development cos these greedy elements will still mop us dry using more innovative strategies.

Elineska:
[s]Is this your defense
I repeat again STOP making excuses for Bubu the Mumu[/s]

tesppidd:
Death?

That's not even the problem.

The problem is impeachment (removal).


These corrupt people have got the money and the influence to influence the democratic and very legal removal of Buhari in a minute.

And if they remove him how will he fight again?

The same Nigerians he wants to help sanitize will say "Good for him"

Do not forget that these corrupt people you are taking about abound in the Senate?

Is he going to fight people that have got the constitutional right to remove him?

Guy aswear you nor know the country wey you dey.
E be like say movies dey deceive una.

orion7:
so Buhari is scared of impeachment, that's y he refused to fight corruption? Oh pls come on mhen

shigoawesu:


So Buhari will have to go from one ward to another, one town to another and from one state to another
We as people are really not ready

tesppidd:
I just knew that somehow you would tie this to Buhari.
But don't get me wrong, Buhari has got the responsibility to check the NNDC.

But is this probe not part of the checks and balances of the Buhari administration?

Or are you now going to divorce the Senate from Buhari?

The anti corruption war is not for Buhari alone.
It will take more than a man to fight corruption in Nigeria.
Buhari alone cannot fight the corruption in one state out of 36. Talkless of the entire country.

The anti corruption war is for the Senate, the Reps, the Judiciary, the presidency, you and me.


I had expected you to begin your rant from point A where you should begin but you jumped to point D.

Point A is the NDDC mangement and the Niger Delta leaders. Since we are talking abiut the NDDC specifically here.

The people of the Niger Delta have had all the wealth in the country but with very little developments.
And so the NDDC is created.

The leaders of the Niger delta which make up less than 1 percent of the population embezzle 90 percent of the funds.

A drive into Port Harcourt city and the GRA areas where these NDDC big shots live would prove it to you.
What you find are mansions, expensive cars, big generators, and all manner of affluence.

And when the Niger Delta people want to complain, first thing they say is Buhari Buhari.

I believe a fresh orientation is required. The primary injustice they face lives right with them.

Their own leaders are the major ones causing their poverty.
They say charity begins at home.

The Niger Delta must hold the NDDC and their Niger Delta leaders accountable first before holding the FG.
This cannot be allowed to continue. This is nothing but betrayal amongst siblings.

Take it from me;

In our current Democratic structure and dispensation, it is practically impossible for any Nigerian President to go against their appointees and croonies.

Lol..

Imagine Buhari using the EFCC to go against Tinubu, Amaechi, El Rufai, Malami, Magu, Akpabio, Sylva, Wike, Oshiomole and hundreds of others.

And perhaps half of the Senate.. .

And half of the judiciary.....

(We all know how much corrupt elements we have in these places)

Now tell me sincerely; Will Buhari survive another 6 months on seat?
(It's a goddammn democracy not an autocracy)

What you guys ask of Buhari is practically IMPOSSIBLE.

90 percent of the politicians with any form of electoral value have been involved in one act of corruption or another.
The few Nigerians who could be "clean" have got little or no electoral value and they cannot win an election for Mr President.


Bro this is the sad fact in our country.

If Buhari has to go against his appointees and croonies he'd have to go against 90 percent of them.
They shall fight back! And He will not be President.

The only way that Buhari or any President can fight this fight the way you guys want is by becoming a military head of state all over again.

No President can emerge in the Nigeria of today without 70 percent of these corrupt elements on your side.

Xisnin:


[s]You voted for someone because of his supposed anti-corruption stand.
When it is time to deliver, you are making excuses.

Do you think GEJ doesn't have excuses too?
Are there no powerful corrupt people during GEJ's administration?

Suddenly, the new sheriff is afraid of impeachment.

I remember how they were reeling out real and imaginary figures
after being sworn in in 2015, many people were ecstatic that they have found the messiah and the corrupt PDP is gone.

You now remembered that we should blame NDDC and not the federal government. I suppose the alleged missing 20 billion should have been blamed on NNPC and not the previous administration.

But when the chips are down, the praise singers started making excuse while the genuine believers are confused.

Why the hell did the Buhari contested twice when he knows he is grossly incompetent at fulfilling his campaign promises?[/s]

You don't get it bro. If Buhari had, from the word go, put his feet on the ground, dealing decisively with errant appointees, going forward, others would have been discouraged from putting their filthy hands in the cookie jar. He failed to do that!

That flop somehow emboldened would-be crooks to do what they've been and are found doing.

Anticorruption fight shouldn't be only be about taking actions after the deeds have been done (even on this, very minuscule progress has been made), is should ESPECIALLY be about PREVENTING those acts of corruption.

It is just like the bible admonished: spare the rod and spoil the child. Buhari spared the rod, and the child unavoidably became spoilt.

This is just the truth.

Philipxxxx0:
You are a hypocrisy, during Jonathan's regime,do you take this kind of excuse from him, now you are giving excuses why Buhari is not stopping corruption when he is the president, I ask you who appointed EFCC chairman? Why the EFCC that is so complicated and corrupt still your Buhari government refuses to sack him until he loot all the money recovers from corrupt people.
