I smile ,I weep ,I shed tears and I cry for the future of Nigeria .Theres no word to describe the greed and selfishness of Nigerian .This is just a tip from what was stolen from Nigerian ,the people languishing in extreme poverty and some few are iiving in opulent at the expense of the wretched millions .In every 10000 Nigerian 999.9 is corrupt and care less about the unprivileged millions .Im not sure if our system can be corruption free after the Buhari administration ,if ever Nigeria can sustain the fight against corruption after Buhari remain to be seeing .And if it is not sustain it will eventually the fight against corruption will fight back and that will be more fierce than what we have seen so far .Nigerian are extremely corrupt ,there no word to describe our thirst for comfort at whatever the cost .

God bless you for this comment, we are so corrupt that we have been made to believe that corruption is a norm and corruption has been accepted to be part of our society. only if the next administration after buharis can fight the way Gmb is fighting now, thats when nigeria will be a place to be called home.,, imagine if jonathan had won the election , we wouldnt have heard anything about this massive inhumanity to human.

the most unfortunate thing is that , even among the so called ''underprivileged millions''( a lot of them are here in NP), they are so corrupt minded that they are angry with Buhari for recovering these money. many Nigerian wants and deserves to be enslaved. they are only happy when they are suffering and smiling. THEY ARE BLAMING BUHARI FOR NOT CHANGING THEIR MISERABLE LIVES WITHIN ONE YEAR,,,,,MEANWHILE THEY ARE PRAISING AND GLORIFYING THE ONES WHO ENSLAVED THEM FOR 16 YEARS

Not naming the looters is also corruption in the highest order, OBJ and Atiku and all past military administration must be made to return our looted money. The fight against corruption must not be one sided..
