Before We Sweep the N27 Billion Halliburton Bribery Scandals Under The Carpet
It is very funny how majority of people in Nigeria have deliberately developed goose pimples and slowly ignoring the most important and urgent situation, the prosecution of the 81 persons indicted by the United States law enforcement officials for partaking in the N27 billion Halliburton bribery scandals.
Even the dead among them must have survivors who must account for their shares of the bribes.
Americans, Europeans, Asians, Arabs and Australians would have been addressing this preposterous state graft until all the criminals have been punished, but typical of hypocritical Nigerians, they are mischievously turning to less important issues, because many of them, including the electorate are beneficiaries of these criminals who have been destroying Nigeria.
Acting President Goodluck Jonathan does not have the balls and guts to prosecute the criminals and in fact, he recently appointed one of them as his security adviser.
I have been watching how he has been dodging from facing the challenge of their prosecution and this only proves that he is a weakling and cannot be a competent head of state.
It would be better for him to hand over to General Muhammad Buhari (Rtd) who is not afraid to even prosecute himself if found to be complicit in the corrupt practices destroying Nigeria.
We must destory the rule of kleptocracy in Nigeria.

Our Country Would Be Great If We Do The Right Things
The prophecy is in our hands to determine what we would be. Our country would be great if we do the right things.
~ Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, General Superintendent, Deeper Christian Life Ministry
Most of us are fond of pointing accusing fingers at the Nigerian government and public officials we condemn and hang over allegations of corruption and other evils. But we are not better than them in our respective homes and workplaces, because we also indulge in our forms and ways of corrupt practices.
How do we treat our fellow Nigerians?
Most of the Nigerian employers who accuse the government of corruption have been found to cheat and exploit their workers by underpaying them and even not paying them salaries for months and years.
We treat our houseboys, housegirls, drivers, messengers and other servants like slaves and we then turn around to accuse the government and public officials of corruption. Are we not fooling ourselves?
Hypocrisy is worse than corruption.
Most of us do not pay our taxes and make frivolous excuses for not doing so.
Most of us cheat when we sit for various examinations.
We know how to find faults in others, but we have done worse things indoors and on the streets.
Let us DO THE RIGHT THINGS IN 2010.
