Default Re: Corruption: Atiku, Tinubu, Kalu Top EFCC List



Some Nigerians are truly amazing: the way they think, speak, write and conjecture things!!! I have said it over and over again; many hardly see or say anything good to any little laudable efforts except to blindly criticize (or pooh-pooh) what could pass commendable acts of patriotism and modesty. God will judge. It is cheap to criticize and blackmail. And when some of those negative thinkers and critics are called upon to serve, in any way or manner, they always make disastrous administrators.

I don’t think any forward-looking, progressive and result-oriented person will see this as OBJ list because it does not include all the people they perceive as “thieves” in their respective states and local governments. Assuming it does, some mindless countrymen/women may also demand for the inclusion of IBB, Abubakar, me, my great-grand mother and others who have never had anything to do with government money. If efforts are made to include some people, my country people will still call it political “witch-hunting” and all sorts of names.

Anyway, it’s a question of mindset of the “road-signs” and “road-users”. If you can’t say well-done for a good job, you might do well to just keep quite and stop this needless peevish ranting by criticizing this pace-setting (unprecedented) scrutiny in the history of the country. For sure, the list is not exhaustive, and may never truly be complete with mathematical precision/accuracy. This is a good way to start provided it is subsequently sustained and enhanced.
