The analogy is faulty cos it takes no account of delegated authority. |

The problem with your boss's analogy is that Nigeria is not a shop it's a nation and if you don't catch the thief who robbed your nation today, rest assured, more thieves are encouraged for tomorrow...in fact tomorrow is too far... |

Looks like you all think economics of a country is been politically biased in your thoughts the country had started going into recession before jonathan left, oil price slumped, workers wr owed salaries for months, money for infrastructures wr diverted into personal accounts, public institutions grounded (nepa, nnpc)etc recovering looted funds, strengthening public instituitions, encouraging local production by making foreign counterparts more expensive but no...... you cant see that can you you all remind me of the isrealites in the wilderness who dreamt of their previous life in egypt forgeting they were slaves then and clearly not seeing the promised land Gaborone: |

gists:bobo if i steal 20billion naira n d govr confiscate like 3billion n send me to 6yrs in jail that will be 3yrs in real time n my 17billion is lying comfortably waitng for me, i will quickly go to jail, come out n live big. Also know that in every billion recovered from looters, govt must hv spent 800million naira to get that money. The people who gain most in this corruption fights are the judges, lawyers who represents the govt n the culprit. Even the prosecutors also gain from the numerous travels n kickbacks they get while on duty. So take time n check how much govt has spent so far n hw much have they recovered. |

gists: Facts they say don't lie. You can't deny the facts, no matter how hard you try. is Nigeria better off since Mr integrity was sworn in? all the indices are nose diving at a dangerous speed; foreign investors are running away and new ones ain't coming. My brother, stop deluding and defending what's not. Nigeria is in crisis and the President needs to understand that corruption can never be the only sickness hampering a nation's development. Note, corruption is not the problem but the effect of the problem. Tackle the problem and you will eliminate the effect. Corruption like its many root causes is hydra-headed and takes different forms. Nigeria is sick and needs a doctor urgently. Baba should face the job of building a virile economy that is substanable, create jobs and opportunities. |

GMB is a supposed honest and incorruptible man..yes he appears slow but in our own collective interest we had all better pray and work towards d best..he has a VP..he has ministers,i dont want to believe he is travelling at his old age for partying..yes people are suffering but it's ok if it will pay off later..check d price of oil,we MUST diversify and am sure he knows this,corruption is d MAIN problem of this country,no economic blueprint can function without a system that backs it up,the mentality of doing things must change for the better nd everybody will key in...Nigeria is like a beautiful bride despite its challenges so these foreign investors will always come,they didn't leave cos of boko haram and militancy..dont forget our salvation is in our own hands..am in support of whoever makes things better for Nigerians..if anyone was following trends u would know that we would have woken up one day with dry atm machines like Greece had d last administration continued..d dollar rate,fuel subsidy et al..i dont know d miracle but things just has to get better..January 2016 brings in a new budget,one drafted by d new govt and not a inherited one,lets remain positive, we got no choice cos dis is our country, forget d politicians be it APC or PDP as there must be leadership, GMB and not GEJ is on d seat now,life has to go on..Nigerians are strong people and we have all d resources it takes once we get just d minutest positive leadership. |

GogobiriLalas: No one has suggested that the thieves should be allowed to go without any punitive measures meted out to them but the president should stop making it the central focus. The nation is bleeding due to lack of attention to critical sectors of the economy. Even, the fight against corruption is one-sided or is it that only people in PDP are corrupt? Please let face the facts, the President needs to shift his attention to more serious issues and allow the security agencies and judicairy to determine the fate of these looters. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

OP please where are you working. so that I can apply and be stealing your boss's N20 000 everyday. I will work for free. what your boss is ignorant of is that unlike private company. government can spend N100 to recover N1. this will go a long way in reducing or preventing subsequent stealing. if I can pardon a thief you should pardon me too for stealing after my tenure. then let the stealing continue... 1 Like |

'Nemo Dat Quod Non Habet' You cannot give what you don't have. Buhari can be compared to a bell western telephone operating in the smartphone era. Sai baba zombies has never show us any blueprint by this president to move the country forward. He did exactly the same in 1984-1985 and whilst he has a good intentions he was overthrown largely because he lost focus on the rest of the other important sectors. GEJ was INEXPERIENCED but Buhari is INCOMPETENT |

@op, your boss made no sense at all. As a president who understands farming, before you plant , you need tree deforestation, bush clearing and burning , then you plant and await bountiful harvest. But if you just start planting on without first removing all those stuffs that will hinder good harvest, no matter how hard you work, your effort won't bring up anything tangible. Corruption and terrorism go hand in hand, Yet you call war against corruption a waste of time. Lol . sounds like a typical Nigerian. 1 Like |

light004:seriously! Corruption turns the economy into a basket, there's nothing you can do to fill it water until you plug all the holes...Nigeria is in much need of a cultural revolution, have you ever gone out to chat with the average Nigerian youth? Bros nobody cares about the country every one is looking for how to make it and not just make it o, I lavita loca make it. Not only must the corrupt be brought to justice, there must be a public show, display, live coverage, media fan fare etc. to demonstrate to all that we would no longer tolerate the subversion of our collective resources. I'm not a fan of Bubu by a long shot, but on this point, he's right on. |

Is PMB the one going to arrest the looters by himself? The last time I checked, it's the EFCC, so why the rouse? The President is doing his work as a president, the ministers are all performing the ministerial duties. EFCC are performing their duties. So what exactly is your boss trying to say?. 1 Like |

People are just being too impatient,that's the major problem. Even though by God's Grace, I have faith in Buhari's government, I am not a sycophant. I would praise when need be and I would criticize when need be...after all my loyalty is to Nigeria as a country and not to any man. However, in running a country, 7 months is damn too small to even see any visible changes (especially when so many problems were inherited from a previous government ). The hard truth is that even 2 years is still too small to see very visible results. The most likely thing after 2 years is that a lot of ground work, networking and alliances would have been made and visible enough for the people to appreciate that government is on a right path, so let's all be patient, objective and patriotic. Secondly, people saying the country is grounded cos of the president's anti-corruption campaign are getting it all wrong. Nigeria's major source of revenue (cos of our 'mono-economy') is oil and the prices of oil are so freaking low that we can all casually stroll out and buy a barrell for ourselves. Lol. Now,government needs money to run the country alongside the small change it gets from oil now. That need has prompted government to follow our stolen monies while also blocking existing loopholes in the system that made it so easy to steal public money in previous times. Look at the attempts to recover looted public funds as 'diversifying the economy' rather than that 'parable' up there. God Bless Nigeria. 1 Like |

Gaborone: Did that same guy disclose to you how in Economics 101 the length of time that PREVIOUS. Actions or Inactions lead to companies presently sacking those people? Did he by any chance inform you of any basis under Economics 101, that an economic performance should be Positive when you lose 50% of your revenue? It amazes me how people can see companies carrying out cost saving measures due to reduced revenues but choose to expect the government not to tighten spending and recover any misappropriated funds. Either those people aren't being sincere or they simply choose to be ostriches. |
