For the war on corruption to be successful and not being one sided, no one should be spared as long as the person’s name is mentioned or the person who authorized the 2.1 billion dollars arms procurement fund should also be questioned. We are talking about the former President Goodluck Jonathan, we assumed that he knows something about it even if there is no strong evidence against him. Somehow as the President of the country who was in charge when this deal was done, such huge amount of money can not just be shared without his knowledge. Who is fooling who? President buhari’s administration should clean up the Nigerian system completely so that whoever that is coming in after President Buhari should have a good starting point. Corruption has caused so much damage in the Nigerian society, all these money which Sambo Dasuki shared among his close associates are more than enough to create good infrastructural facilities in the country which would benefit the citizens of Nigeria. Assuming the 2.1 billion dollars is not meant for arms procurement, it would go a long way in creating better facilities for the Nigerian people.
Again, only God knows for how long this sort of money sharing have been going on, most probably they are lots of huge amount of money which the big names in Nigeria have been sharing without the Nigerian people knowing about it. Take a look at Nigeria today, graduate unemployment is more than 80%. A man would struggle to train his children in the university so that when they graduate and be employed, life would be fine for the family but such dreams are killed because of some few Nigerian politicians who have no conscience to do what is right. They choose to share the wealth of the nation among themselves thereby leaving majority of the citizens in abject poverty, this is very wrong. Somehow frustration of not getting a job or what to do as a young man or a young woman could be among the reasons why the crime rate in Nigeria is on the increase. If after graduation or having completed a trade then an individual finds a job to do, it may be difficult to go into crime.
Once again let us change the way we think and how we feel about others, we should always know that we are all human beings created the same way. If you are voted into any office please do the job for which you have been elected to do, stop sentiments, greed, selfishness and embezzlement of funds so that Nigeria as a nation can move forward.
