    City Blog Stealing Government Money Is Not Corruption –– ICPC Chairman

    Nigeria is in trouble. The trend now is whatever
    President Gooodluck Jonathan said, all those in
    government will start devising means to justify
    him. Jonathan said corruption is not high in
    Nigeria during his media chart and now the
    chairman of ICPC, Mr. Ekpo Nta, has come out to
    support that funny position.
    In fact, the ICPC chairman is now giving us a
    different definition of corruption. He said this
    when a delegation from the Council for the
    Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria visited the
    commission in Abuja to forge inter-agency
    partnership against corruption.
    In the words of ICPC
    Chairman: "Stealing is erroneously
    reported as corruption. We must go back to
    what we were taught at school to show that
    there are educated people in Nigeria. We
    must address issues as we were taught in
    school to do."
    Nta claimed that Nigerians don't quite
    understand what constituted corruption, that
    Nigerians are ignorant.
    The commission's boss went ahead to compare
    what he said is the penchant for referring to
    theft as corruption to the ordinary Nigerian who
    often called a roadside mechanic an engineer.
    I just wonder what this man is drinking in secret.
    I wonder!
