I found this list on Facebook and thought I would share it here. I know this has been making the rounds for a while but since we are on an anti corruption drive it just seemed relevant to the discussion.

It is probably best ignore the alleged amount looted as they a really just made up. The question here really is the role these men and women to played in the current state of Nigeria. They all talk a good game and it is easy to forget that they have had the opportunity to fix this country with many of them having multiple chances.

Note: The list does is missing President Jonathan and key members of his administration including the former Minister of Petroleum. These names are important to the conversation. In effect this in the main is a list of current APC members.

Enjoy the list and your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any evidence to these claims?
There is no empirical and the amounts can be ignored. The key question is are these people (along side the last regime) the problem. If the country has been massively looted for over 100 years (include the British), are these the people to blame for it? Should we include the likes of Festus Okotie-Eboh, MKO Abiola and other members of the first and second republic that are now looked upon with rose tinted glasses. What about all other military governors of the various states, all members of the PRC or the other military councils over the years.

Time to listen to some old Fela songs.
 
This is hilarious and funny. I think its a comic relief piece. Great one. Who be the thief, who b the hunter?

Summary: Everyone in the Nigerian government is a thief.

IMHO, these deeds have been done already. If we want to recoup the money, fine lets do it. But the important thing to do is to block leakages and NEVER allow such things to happen again, or at least reduce it to the barest minimum.

If this isn't done there's no hope for the country.
 
So in conclusion the anti corruption war of PMB is like a mirage?
Not really. If things are being done in the background to actually block the leakages then we're on the right track. It's okay to recoup money from looters but more energy should be focused on reducing the number of looters and amount looted to the barest minimum.
 
So how do we expect PMB to fight corruption which we all known has become a cankarworm on our nation's economy holistically when his name is top of the list.. Wahala really dey Nigeria oh!
 
The anti-corruption war of all governments is a mirage. If not only secondary school children will be able to contest for elections in Nigeria :) GEJ also claimed to be blocking leakages with technology, stopping ghost workers, stopping leakages in agriculture, he put Ibori behind bars etc.. Abacha blocked leakages and went on an anti-corruption drive. I will wait and see, the rhetoric has always been the same from all of them. We have no choice but to give the elected government a chance and it is also important and patriotic to point out their failings.

Great opinion there sir, but don't you think someone will (in the future maybe) actually block those leakages?
