I read in some Nigerian dailies that if anyone would be killed for corruption that has to do with stealing from the public purse, the stealing has to be in trillions.That is to say, a stealer of a million or a billion naira is not a thief or has not stolen enough. He or she is an apprentice whose stealing should not be overlooked. Stealing in the region of a billion should be considered a tolerated thievery. This is, as reported, coming from a high-ranking senator whom I admire for his candidness—especially in calling a spade a spade—during an interview.

However, I have some misgivings. Did he really say it? If any lawmaker would say that, it should not be the Ndume I know. I searched for the Channels TV interview only to confirm that Sen. Ali Ndume actually said so. It was a question about the death penalty for drug dealers vis-à-vis the condemnation of such a penalty by human rights activists. Ndume spoke passionately and logically to my satisfaction.
