Well, while responding to a question on his efforts to stop corruption during a presidential media parley which aired on national TV on May 5, President Jonathan said;
“Over 70% of what are called corruption, even by EFCC and other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but common stealing,” adding that corruption claims appeared “politically motivated”.Well, some Nigerians had answers for him. See the tweets after the cut...

Literally and legally stealing is not corruption... Every Lawyer knows that. Under the Nigerian Law, and most laws around the world, corruption is not a crime.
Being a corrupt person is not a crime, we all are corrupt.
Lols, nigerians sha get mouth hahhahaha
Bonario I didn't see u
Lmao
heeehehehehhehheh .. bona bona.. wey d 5k wey i beg u nd onyx? there is God oo..
pay ur tithes to me oo
Hahahaha....they are all noisemakers joor..
Of course stealing is not corruption. Please check your dictionary to understand the difference between stealing and corruption. Most Nigerians just argue out of ignorance. Since the President made the comment, no one has been able to use any evidence to contradict him. Stealing is different from corruption. Check your dictionary.
LMAO. That's why I like Nigerians,they always have a perfect answer. Doyin okupe must have been embarrassed.
Hmmmm!
Mr Doyin is just everywhere.. He had better calm down before he jeopardizes everything! Col 3:14-17. BishopDammy#
A sane person would not take Doyin Okupe serious.
Jesus of Aso rock indeed...the answers are hilarious..can't believe jesus of Aso rock opened his mouth to say that....God will keep exposing all of them corrupt politicians.

You are right Mr President.Stealing is stealing !Let's not wear a tag on it and call it corruption
"According to GEJcyclopidia" geeeez Pple can be so funny! Haahaahaaa
"Our" resident commentator's tweet caught my eyes only. Bonario!
Doyin okupe diaris God oh,the tins u and mr principal are doing,god is seeing u.
Miss indomie says so.
Linda, the President is right and Dr. Okupe was just re-echoing what the President said. If you check your dictionary, there is disparity between stealing and corruption. I listen to the that President media chat and what the President was inferring was that when a man dip his hands in the public tilt is outright stealing and people should mince word by saying they are corrupt but they should call them thieves. When you use your position to curry favour, then that is corruption. A man that take a goat from the market is not corruption but stealing. When you use your official position to collect bribe from the public that is corruption.
Lol...his account was hacked. Hehehe
this mofo is not helping GEJ at all. wonder if Jona send him all these
isn't it becoming more glaring that this okupe guy should be fired?
I maintain he is doing GEJ more harm than good!
imagine the question - is that suppose to be an opinion poll?
o ma se oo!
Hahaha!
can u blame ds ur Mr president... gejford dictionary
But if we wanna b logical....stealing is not corruption ......in d real sence of it...
The corruption has clouded their sense of judgment... Apparently they don't know wat is right & wrong anymore... Such a shame...
what a question from one of our headless leaders..lmao...choi,Ogbeni Doyin ooooo

Slip of hand, he was just bored
It appears Doyin Okupe has been infected with popular virus, the Jonathanian cluelessness virus. Unfortunately for him, there is not a cure found yet. kuyeolusegunjames_koj@yahoo.com
Na everywhere Bonario dey o....
Embezzlement is stealing of public funds. Its d same with corruption. If our president can't identify that, then there is a serious problem
It is only in Nigeria that a president will try to differentiate between stealing and corruption in order cover up their industrial corruption scale. OK oo Oga presido, they will try to keep stealing or looting from our the national Treasury and stay away from corruption as you have directed. Well done and keep seeing us as fools Mr. President.
>>>>> LMAO, Hands down GEJ's government is the most controversial in Nigeria history. <<<<<<
Hahahaahahahahahahahah! Serves this loud mouthed prick right. He's gonna get his fat ass fucked properly by bros J
BONA IS ALL I SEE
HEHEHEHEH.INTERESTING.CORRUPTION IS THE MOTHER OF STEALING...AKA..SAME BLOOD
Bonario over sabi housewife lol
I have always maintained that our politicians blow hot air every time they open their mouths often times forgetting they have made a certain statement, only to renege on it later and swear to God they never said it!
Dirty underwear on display
Maybe he was trying to tell us that corruption is an intelligent way of stealing. While stealing could involve violent or forceful acquisition of what belongs to another person, Corruption is an intelligent, cunning, dishonest, way of acquiring what belongs to other.
whatever name designed for it, corruption is even worse than stealing because it is a betrayer of trust by those in whose care is our national treasury. It is highly disheartening to hear this myopic view from our leader.
Big time set up, trust Nigerians......lol
This clueless man again? #Endtimethings
Gej's body language to corruption is not encouraging, how many public office holders have been penalised for stealing funds and encouraging corrupt practises since his inception as president??? efcc aint shit , icpc aint either, nigerians vote wisely, dont be sentimental, be practical.
smh
He shud ask his boss...he can answer better...
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL CONTRDICTORY MESSAGES COMING FROM PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN AND DOYIN OKUPE.LEADERS NEED TO BE CAREFUL THE STATEMENT THEY MAKE SO AS NOT TO CAUSE CIVIL UNREST.
Smh
This man should go and sit. We are sweeping you and your oga out soon.
lol...okupe don blow hin oga yansh. Is he on cheap drug?
These Jonathan guys are empty barrels. They are busy making a lot of noise!!!
They are so scared they'll b arrested once Buhari gets into Power. Awon Ole jati jati

Foolish man.
Could Doyin Okupe be the mole planted in GEJ government by his "enemies". First he compared the clueless shoeless GEJ with Jesus Christ, now he is clowning a statement made by GEJ about corruption and stealing??? Just wondering!!!
can someone please advice this man to think before talking.
These politician r not in their right mind
I beggy wetin be the diff ooo
cor·rup·tion/kəˈrÉ™pSH(É™)n/
noun
1. dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.
2. the process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or debased.
steal/stēl/
verb
take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.
move somewhere quietly or surreptitiously.
Let's compare the dictionary definition of the two words the answer is there. There are both crime but the English dictionary didn't indict stealing in corruption definition. English language is a borrowed language and we tend to misquote or understand some of it words in our ways.
@lindaikeji #let's_make_the_world_a_better_place#

@Mr Endowed via iyke
We are all prone to mistakes and I sincerely believe GEJ was quoted out of contest or He failed to deliver his thoughts with d right words..shit Happens!
Buh Linda, legally speaking Stealing is quite different from Corruption, I guess that was the sense Oga Jona was using it..
few things, That GEJ say there is a difference in the 2 does not mean he is saying one is right and one is wrong. 2. GEJ is wrong to use the word ''common'' for stealing government funds
Thats Just what happens when people lie.
This man is really beginning to sound st*p*d. Sorry.
Blackberry gives you the best and make you forget the rest.

Bona u don go far oo
Hmmmm speechless
Lolz. I'm sure he has forgotten that his Oga at d top said dis a long time ago that common stealing in d ministry, people will say is corruption. Anyways stealing is allowed but corruption is not allowed. Lolz
This is so hilarious

Hahahahaha Jonathan and the clowns that surround him. I wonder the people he actually claims to be getting opinions from.
I thought they said PGEJ has a doctorate degee?so he doesn't know there is a difference with dat supposed high level of education
I think this Doyin Okupe guy is trying to set GEJ up with this his honourable question. Haha......Oga Jona, answer him please..
LUCKY.
Lol! He is using his both hands to expose his nyash
And where were you when gej said stealing is not corruption?
lool. vewi funny
No it is not but a sin
@lwkmd_naija
God must xpos them....... Political thieves
It doesn't matter what anyone says, PGEJ's intentions are purer than that of his opposition. And he will win. No matter the scheming and deceptions, the haters of this country will lose. Tell me, how can a man who chooses to make the nation ungovernable have pure intentions. Aso Rock na by force?
Both are crimes
Bottomline; His Boss is Dumb and sadly, he is not aware of his Boss' Dumbness....#Cluelesslot
But GEL is right. Corruption is in the mindset. It is a way of life. Stealing on the other hand is a consequence of corruption, and that in itself is a crime. Our leaders steal because they are corrupt period. The reverse isn't the case here
Na wa for u o....being a corrupt person ain't a crime. see original gobe
Oga abeg...when u collect bribe u be thief! Don't garnish pls
Okupe you don reach here? U and ur Oga at the top don drink too much sapele water
Both thieves
In Nigeria stealing and corruption are the same.
Perfect answer and definition. Thus, stealing is corruption.
'Common/uncommon stealing' and corruption are the same. When you're guilty you tend 2 find a definition 2 console yourself.
Ermmmm if one holds a public office, stealing public funds falls under corruption.
Oh, and another bit of knowledge on ur ass... There's quite a fair share of "corrupt" politicians is prisons in more civilized countries
E be like say dey wan to tell us anoda story again.... Baba Okupe, u can run but u cant hide.... Nigerians r tired of u nd oga Jona is feeling same now!! "Free" is the name of u sickness.. . Free food, free recharge card, free car, free acomudation, free fuel, free Wifi service, free light, free water, free laundary services, free everything... No wonder u dont want to park out of aso rock.. Haha u ll soon meet us out here nd see how hot it is to be on your own.. Na ur mouth go finish u... Oldboy.
<<1sBenueSon100%Nigerian>>.
So stealing is allowed but corruption is a crime
Lol
This man is becoming a nusaince in social media
Believe All Things HERE........ Never you doubt it
I don't think u really understand what u ar saying do u no the meaning of spokesmen? Wat it means is wat Eva doyin said it is believed dat D president said it bus he is speaking d mind of d president. So sorry 2say our GEJ is d••••
Hmmmm. See question
Previously I did say this guy will victimize him self in social.....the he keeps going with the tap mouth and childish behaviour......... I just can't tell the end.....visit my blog @ http://comrademk.blogspot.com to find out the current status of Kim and kanye...cos it seems Linda was lazy today
Maybe he's working for opposition (APC), who knows?
Loool buhari 2015....
Lol. Funny people... I sight you BN 'lol' #onelovefromSnow#
Stealing here relates to government officials who indulge in it. Government officials in Nigeria are largely corrupt, that's the reason why they 'misappropriate'(another word for stealing) fund meant for the development of the country, they divert it to themselves, families and friends. They don't follow due process when awarding contracts. They award bogus contracts, they inflate contracts, the extra cost find its way into their account. That's stealing. they do this because they are dishonest, which is corruption. They buy private jets, mansions abroad while the country suffer due to their practices. Government officials who are corrupt(dishonest) indulge in stealing public funds. Fela Anikulakpo Kuti call it 'Authority Stealing' and he said in that song it is worse than 'Armed Robbery', because it retard us as a nation, leading to wide scale ignorance, poverty, disease and death. Stealing is just part of corruption. Nepotism, favoritism and bribery are corrupt practices. In corrupt society like Nigeria, things are hardly done on merit. Tribalism is the order of the day. The massive fraud in many ministries and government agencies boils down to stealing.
Lmao! Bonario lol you have mouth joor!! Pls who is dis irabo bobby guy stop begging jare we all want to win, who no like free things! Better luck next time, try again ok. God bless you

Was Lawrence 'the Law' Anini a common thief, a criminal, an armed robber or he was simply a corrupt Nigeria? Have we heard someone describe Sina Rambo as simply corrupt?
Corruption as defined by Transparency International is the "the abuse of entrusted power for common gain" so when a public official dips his hand into the collective till, it goes beyond "abuse of entrusted power for private gains", it simply stealing ala Lawrence Anini, Monday Osunbor and Shina Rambo.
To take a contrary position is to dignify what has become a way of life for a people. The moral decadence of an argument that equates stealing with corruption is not just pathetic but a sign of an even more insidious problem, a people's moral bankruptcy or illiteracy.
I believe that even the laws of the land have long made this distinction, prescribing a 21 year jail term for forgery and stealing and what amounts to s slap on the wrist for corruption
Pele! I appreciate that a lot of us, describing dipping ones hands into the public till as stealing will amount to calling ourselves thieves, but a thief you are, period!
As for the rest of us, please let us not dignify public officials who steal with less social opprobrious toga of corruption. They are all common thieves! @ credits JekwuOzoemene
Fat mumu with liquid brain. I sure say the guy don drink kai kai before he begin dey post rubbish. Him and that clueless PhD holder wey we call president
Linda, Don Moen the American singer-songwriter, pastor, and producer of Christian worship music has been on tour in Nigeria and not a word about him on your blog. That's not good. He as been to Port Harcourt, Lagos, and now he is in Akwa Ibom. Don Moen is God's voice on earth, he sing His word back to us. He is a huge inspiration to millions of Christians around the world.
Heheheheh
Exactly
I can tell Mr president was confused wen he answered that question lolzzzzz
Lol! This cracked me up big time thanks for sharing Linda. Had no idea about the definition of life until now. clowns both the oga at the Top and his don't even know what to call him
The harder Okupe is trying to cover his boss ass, the more he's exposing it
This Doyin guy should be fired he doesn't know how to speak I swear. GEJ should fire him.
And we call dem leaders...am dedicatin a whole day 2 weep for my country....pls linda i will need 2 use ur bathtub 4 dis sober reflection..........
