I Love My People But Nigeria Is Very Corrupt - Israel Adesanya by Rapmoney(m): 6:49am On Apr 13, 2023
Nigeria-born UFC fighter, Israel Adesanya has expressed his love for his fellow Nigerians.

The mixed martial artist, however, noted that the country is a ‘very corrupt place’.

The ‘stylebender’ said this while speaking on a Hotboxin podcast.

Adesanya added that government and some of its people are always looking for ways to siphon money from the country’s coffers and swindle others of their money.

He said, There is a lot of red tape in Nigeria. Nigeria is a very corrupt place. I love my people, but it is just that the government, everyone is finding ways to siphon money.”

The 33-year-old on Sunday knocked out old rival Alex Pereira to reclaim the middleweight crown at UFC 287 in Miami.

What should he have said? He should have praised Nigeria as the most corrupt-free country abi? Your username and signature are the opposite of your type of person. Abeg change them.

Here's a Yoruba man saying what we all know to the foreign press. If he's an Igbo man, this will take a tribal colouration.

Pretending that your reality doesn't exist is like living in a cloud cuckoo land. The day you get fed up, you take a bold step and fix it.

I salute his courage to speak the truth. Now let's sit back and watch the people enjoying corruption to cancel him. Every sector in this country is riddled with theft and corruption, from the government to the civil service, to the church/mosque, to markets, etc. We take pleasure in taking undue advantage of people in need of help.

It's because you hate truth but love corruption. You must be a follower of Chicago Druglord.

Even sports.

Last Olympics I think Nike or Adidas wanted to give our athletes free clothes. But because the sports minister had inflated budget for clothes he refused. At the end of the day athlete's were washing clothes in the sink of their hotel room to reuse another day.

For how long do you want to hide evil?

The wicked deeds and corruption of the Nigerian politicians is destroying people's lives and you want us to keep quiet about it?

There is a difference between patriotism and outright mental daftness

What he said is true but it is not wise to speak all truths At all times.
Some one with his influence and privilege should be part of the solution.

If speaking as he did fixes the problem I support it 100% . It don't fix anything.

It just shows a young man in front of a camera who is now Westernized and talks without filter.
Talking must be purposeful when you are that influential.
Let him come and fight in Nigeria then we will know he loves us

What are you on about?? You think the world doesn't already know what's going on here? The entire NPF is categorised as a criminal organisation by the Canadian Parliament. Obviously you've never been a victim of the Nigerian system. You have never been turned down for a remote job that pays well for the singular reason that you're a Nigerian. You have never been a victim of police case handing. You have never lost a sick person to the abysmal health services in the country. You probably love to sort your way through university. You have never had a loved one kidnapped. In other words, you know nothing about your country.
