People Use Corruption To Cover Up Stealing - GEJ by Nobody: 11:24am On Nov 11, 2015 |
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan clarifying what he meant by stealing is not corruption saying he was quoted out of context.(8th Presidential media chat,Feb 2015) “People who told you I said stealing is not corruption did not tell you I said stealing is good. That is why philosophers say that the primary reason people disagree is because people use one statement to explain two typical things or vice versa. “I made that statement because I quoted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mustapha, (when) I called a meeting then, with the anti-crime organisations and the judiciary. “The CJN, Mustapha decided to take a look at the files that dealt with corruption and more than 80 per cent of them were just cases of stealing. But people use corruption to cover all. What I am saying is that let us go to the South-West and go to a typical community and they look at you and say this man is corrupt, people will be looking at you. But call that same man “ole”, that is thief, and see what will happen to him. Our people hate thieves more than corrupt people, yet most times, we use corruption to cover the lapses. “A thief should be called a thief and treated as such. In my village, when an adult steals, they strip him unclad, humiliate him and his family, but if you say this man is corrupt, they won’t know what you are talking about. We are using corruption to cover it all up. “So, let us communicate properly. It was not me that said it, I quoted Mustapha. He examined the corruption cases and he saw that they were just cases of stealing. “We are identifying thieves; we can talk about what the agencies are doing. We have made more convictions in this period than before. But I always say that the answer is not convicting more people. We must make sure that they don’t steal. Do not put the money where they can steal it. That is what we are doing.” Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/176637-goodluck-jonathans-8th-presidential-media-chat-live-updates.html 3 Likes |

Goodluck Jonathan came too early for Nigeria.
They said there is no fuel subsidy, why are they
Paying over N400 Billion for subsidy? But
Jonathan did away with subsidy in 2012, your
OCCUPY NIGERIA protests brought subsidy back!
BVN [Bank Verification Number] was introduced
by President Goodluck Jonathan to help fight
fraud and track perennial and serial bank debtors.
This is a specie of the American Social Security
Number that is limited to Bank accounts. Every
person who has a bank account must have a
Biometrics verified BVN.
President Jonathan also introduced a single
payroll account system for all federal civil
servants to fish out ghost workers and ensure
accountability.
President Jonathan also funded the National ID
card system to identify Nigerians. The original
idea for National ID was in 1979.
However, records available in the public domain
show that President Buhari did not register for the
National ID until he became president. He
opposed it.
APC derided President Jonathan for saying that
he will use technology to fight corruption. Talking
of GEJ using digital technology to fight
corruption, there is also the automation of the
entire Customs Clearance Procedure which
eliminated fraud and allows for faster and
smoother clearance of goods at the ports.
Today, APC claims BUHARI HAD PERFORMED
WELL MORE THAN GEJ.
But according to Ibrahim Bunu: “Am perplexed,
angry and at the same time disgusted at some
comments on my last post insinuating that Buhari
hasn’t achieved anything this year.
When;
1. Boko Haram members are running Maiduguri
and Yola down and have killed over 3 thousand
people since May 29.
2. Fulani herdsmen are distroying farmlands and
killing farmers with full force.
3. The Economy is already on recession?
4. Fuel scarcity and increase in fuel price is the
order of the day.
5. DSS is been used to fight perceived enemies.
6. Our media no longer dish out reliable news.
7. The Nigerian Army is now been used to
deceive gullible Nigerians and also, instead of
fighting boko haram head on, they are busy
issuing warnings.
8. It took the President 5-6 months to release his
thank you/noisemakers list in the form of
ministers.
9. Having some of the most Corrupt and Senile
politicians just like the president himself.
10. No project has been commissioned.
11. Refinery that was due for operation in 2016
was forcefully put to operation and subsequently
shut down.
12. Body Odour generated power has declined
back to its epileptic state.
13. De-marketing Nigeria to foreign investors.
14. Confusion everywhere as most statements
released by one media aid of the President is
refuted by the second aid before the day runs
out.
15. All campaign promises has been roundly
denied.
16. The president converted Nigerian Economy to
a Northern empire by choosing mostly northerners
to head important posts and tagging the regions
that didn’t vote for him as 5 percent.
17. Crime rate has quadrupled in Lagos, Abuja
and the whole Nigeria.
18. The only Economic direction of the President
is blames, blames and multiple blames.
19. The President misses important functions and
goofs at important meetings/interviews abroad?
20. The President only speaks to Nigeria via BBC
Hausa or via foreign media stations while only his
aids speak to us via Nigerian stations.
21. Job losses everywhere, with job creation at
it’s lowest since 1984 talk about breaking his
own record.
22. JP Morgan delisted Nigeria from its bond
index.
23. Fighting perceived enemies and using judges
to criminally upturn elections in opposition states.
24. Further deplating our researves by embarking
on fruitless journeys outside Nigeria.
25. Running a government where some gullible
Nigerians equal performance with number of
snapshots per day, as this administration has
been rightfully tagged photocracy.
26. First ever President to be campaigning after
election by making new promises albeit denying
the ones made during his presidential campaign.
Truthfully, Buhari has achieved a lot but
UNFORTUNATELY/SADLY, the achievements were
NEGATIVE ONES

The foolish, corrupt and incompetent man said stealing is not corruption but just Mere Stealing. Mere: Definition. If corruption was stealing, it means all the hundreds of billions of our stolen dollars = Mere Stealing So how what's so Mere small and insignificant about our stolen hundreds of billions of dollars? Either way the clone dances around his crooked and corrupt statement, he still insinuated that we didn't have corruption and stealing was not a bid deal... 2 Likes |
