Anambra state moving from 26th to 1st in WAEC wasn’t a miracle. Listen and hear how he did it. We need to listen to our candidates and know how they think and how they will do the work, except we have other motives. Nigerian presidency is work, not a chieftaincy tiltle.

You will ask me if the offense of Mr. Kalu in anyway equates what these corrupt politicians has done and still doing that he was captured like a common criminal and has been on detention for this long. The message is clear. If you are among them u are safe. What a country?

Hmmn Ooo...🙄❗️

Remember... It's from Top to Bottom. •governmental LOOTING/STEALING in Nigeria reminds of that movie **Ocean 11* •after STEALING yesterday, the CCTV will play the incident today. The thieves still come as swat to save the day. *What a movie on Nigerian case.

That's the work of Fulani, they will expose the Easthern leader's to lute fund, they knew they will always use it against them anytime they support Biafra.Peter Obi is an example, ask him about the Pandora documents ,15 million dollars with Offshore account. Ask Peter Obi he knew

The painful thing out of this story is that even if the money got to the states it was meant for. Some other thieves in government will steal it. So much corrupt and thieving people on the government pipeline

Baffles me how loose the accounting system is that makes it possible for public officers to easily mop up such crazy amounts of cash.

And you are jubilating about it

Sahara thanks for the info; you are doing a great job so far;unafraid; 'new breed reporters'your days will be long;Almighty is with you. That money is been used to train jihadist terrorists fulani in Sambisa forest; British is training them; 'New Blood UN'& Europe will stop them.

Only this present administration i see that exposed his people that steal money, on like Obasanjo and Jonathan tenure they covered all of their dirty.

But MaziNnamdiKanu is still the “problem” of Nigerians.

Since this thing happened buhari never talk anything. No APC politicians have condemned it, no muslim politicians have condemned it but if it is blasphemy u will hear from them. So stealing is not a condemnable but blasphemy is right?

This ex-gov Yari's name has consistently popped up in graft cases all over the place, yet he wasn't sharing cell with Dariye & Nyame at Kuje. That should be the definition of 'fantastic corruption'.

Zero conscience

And he looks innocent

Fulani fulani...hahaha

Morris_Monye Fulani man just relax dey steal southern states money

Morris_Monye Who so ever that want this system to continue by voting in these old crooks. Die by fire

Buhari should be termed as the Dark ages, the corruption and impunity is insane.

These guys took 11.5% of Statutory allocation to 9Oil producing states claiming it as consultancy!!! Meanwhile Asari Dokubo's head is so far up Tinubu's arse that he can't read this

Morris_Monye Henceforth, I have just one message. Let every OBIdient youth convince their parents, siblings and friends to vote Obi. That shouldn’t be hard and it is enough to win this election. Convince least 10 ppl & encourage each of them to convince 10 ppl … Let the nuclear rtn begin

Morris_Monye Save the land

Story e no reach any where.

KayodeFoloruns3 Abdul-Aziz Yari, a criminal who even declines to pay youth corpers. Wonder why this Accountant general isn’t in prison already.

The country is very united when it come to corruption.

Okay, it's business as usual. Steal enough then your sins will be forgiven.

Quarter a billion ASUU never see oo

Even if the EFCC succeeded in sending those criminals behind the bars. Buhari the corruption enabler will look the other way and give them presidential pardon. Just like the plateau counterpart that was pardon merely a week he declare for public office.

See how they are sharing Naija destiny into their private akkants, but will still appear in the media to be preaching patriotism to their deprived Citizens. Our courts, treat high profile theft with all the seriousness it deserves. Its the only way to curb financial impunity

Break Nigeria to save lives

And they moving free.... Above d law
