When asked to clarify his statement "Stealing is not corruption" during the presidential media chat yesterday evening, president Jonathan said he made the statement quoting the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Dahiru Mustafa, who explained to him that his analysis of corruption cases in Nigeria showed that most of the cases tagged as corruption were theft. President Jonathan said that referring to stealing as corruption minimizes the crime.
"Ole (thief in Yoruba) should be called Ole and given that treatment. Let us communicate properly. The word corruption, we have abused it." GEJ said.
.
Not satisfied with President Jonathan's response, Prof Osinbajo took to his Facebook wall to react.

Not good!
Anyone referring us to the dictionary meaning of corruption and stealing is just being mischievous.
419 can't be found in the dictionary, but we all know what the term presupposes over here.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
And dey say he has a PhD ??? An he doesn't know what corruption really means? Or he's just covering up for his corrupt infested government?
goodluck for Nigeria is like dishing Banga soup without cat fish,we dont need em,well said Osinbajo# Sai Buhari

Stealing is stealing, corruption is corruption. Osinbajo which language do you not understand. Ole Na Ole. thief Na thief. Corruption can be anything from refusing due process due to tribalism to favoring a less qualified candidate because he is Moslem and refusing another better candidate because he is christian. There is quite a range of things that constitute corruption unlike stealing. So Osinbajo abi Osinbade Nigerians understood very clearly what the president said,

A good example of corruption is Osinbajo who because of money he gets from Tinubu refused to file court processes on behalf of the Christian association of Nigeria to challenge islamic banking. That is corruption but that is not stealing. An example of stealing is like Tinubu who has appropriated the entire budget of Lagos state for his personal use. So Ole Na Ole. Corruption involves a lot more.
All dis political old men shuld allow us rest na...or wat do u wanna add 2 it..like if dey put u on dat hot sit u will deliver perfectly well...noise makers
Lol
I'm sorry o but GEJ is a shame 2 all his educational qualifications.
Jesus is Lord.
A man who steals a goat is a thief but he may not be corrupt. A man can steak food because he is hungry but that does not make him corrupt. But A man who takes money and impedes due process like Osinbajo did in the case of Christain Association of Nigeria versus CBN's islamic banking where he refused to file court papers against islamic banking of CBN because he is a director in Tinubu's company, that is corruption. We know the difference.
This man should go n chop broken bottle...does he think he's going anywhere....

This man is a clown. They will say whatever to get power
Educate n Tell Em 'Dude. Educate n Tell em.
A man can steal food from a restaurant and that makes him a thief. But a person who maybe due to tribal reasons refuses to do what is right is corrupt. Osinbajo you are corrupt and have failed the Christian body. Shame on you.
The same way your candide tried to justify violation of human right and brutality. While you are at it "calling out GEJ" remember to call out your unrepentant candidate to apologise to Nigerians for his wickedness. Abeg i don tire. Accuse GEJ of something else , its getting boring jare.

We spend time and efforts on trival issues
come this short man should just shut up! attention seeking dwarf!
Silly banter. I can't believe people have to listen to all this till April.
See dis one talks too. Abeg go sit down make we see road see ppl. I don't wanna talk na b4 de say am insulting man of God.
Corruption eg Osinbajo taking money from Tinubu and being a director in Tinubu's company so refuses to stand by the constitution to challenge the islamic banking proposals under Sanusi's CBN. That is corruption.
Stealing- a hungry man takes without permission a loaf of bread from a seller and 'ole ole ' ring out. That is stealing.
Osinbajo you are corrupt.
Maybe GEJ thought we are all illiterate. The truth is that GEJ knows the meaning of corruption but because his government is so corrupt he doesn't want to own up to the right meaning. The man lives in self denial. I expect our president to honourable resign since he has failed the country.

God is watching..Christianity for politic..Fool!!!
I think president jonathan was right
Drama, drama, drama!
Osinbajo you are a disgrace to Christianity. You may not be a thief but you are corrupt. That is the difference. All corrupt people are thieves but not all thieves are corrupt. A man can be tempted into stealing a loaf of bread because he is hungry but that does not make him corrupt, corrupt is a total defilement of spirit soul and body. Theft can be a pressured state due to hunger.
Osinbajo at this rate there will be no place to run after your resounding defeat in March. You are so corrupt now that you twist everything to suit your masters. Shame on you. The president was clear yesterday on the difference between stealing and corruption. Making decisions on tribalistic reasons is the main corruption ravaging Nigeria.

osihajo u r a mad man is tinubu ur boss not a tief
Osibanjo should go and sit down somewhere
see osibanjo saying corruption defined as dishonesty by "those in power" so those that are not in power are what????????
Oga Osinbanjo. Go to sleep and stop struggling for relevance. The president's stand is clear.
Corruption is corruption. Point blank.
Pamscrib.blogspot.com
Osinbajo has no point and that was a cheap shot!
President GEJ made sense and you've got to have a deep,broad and realistic mind to capture it.thank you! Next!
Prof are you ok at all.
Stealing can be taking something from someone unlawfully.....so Jonathan was defending his own approach to corruption and other public funds that him and his Govt are stealing.........Stealing is a corrupt practice him as a one time lecturer should have known that.......
::::::::::::::::::::::::QUEENMAYA:::::::::::::::::::::::
I think GEJ is right from his analysis, he made it simple to understand even for an illiterate, my grand mom in the village will not understand what curuption means going by prof osinbanjo anylysis of curruption. One more trash talk from this prof and we call for his certificate rubbish

If u are truly a man of God, u wouldn't hv tink of vice president. Show me a politician and i wil show u occultic man!Lolo1
Osinbajo should look for a place and sit down. As a professor u aught to know the diff between stealing and corruption as explained by our amiable president. GEJ all the way.
Prof Osibanjo should learn from GEJ. Stop making direct attacks at PDP/GEJ and convince people that you really have plans to make the change you preach.
I have been waiting for this black robot Osinbajo invented by Tinubu on Linda Ikeji!
Can you imagine this diarrhoea sickened mouth of Osinbajo! You corrupt pastor who came and lied
1. Buhari's daughter was married to a Ibo Christian?
2. You post Reinhard Bonkke crusade as APC rally?
You never know a man until you try him with small power.
Osinbajo the Bible told us to pray for our leaders.
I can never be a part of this man's congregation.
I am an RCCG member but I haven't seen Adeboye for once insulted any one in authority for that matter.
You have been jumping around artist,taking selfies at spar,BRT, politicising your visit to the redemption camp. Osinbajo you have lost me totally to GEJ.
I know I will see GEJ in heaven and not Osinbajo the pastor.
I am a member of RCCG not even a pastor but I can not talk to a president in this manner.
Always blasting Jonathan as his masters Tinubu and Amechi.
Osinbajo i weep for you how you are heading for where Tinubu and Atiku heads. And it is called he'll! What shall it profit a man!
Well said
Gbamest well said sir!! Mr Gej go bck to school oo
Abeg Prof help me explain to that Otuoke man o. We can no longer b deceived by this clueless bunch. Change is imminent n certain. Linda I hail thee.
what is this man saying, he just said the same thing the president was saying or didn't he watch the interview. He was asked a question based on the statement he made and he replied. cant we just have peace... Jesus
Abeg Prof help me explain to that Otuoke man o. We can no longer b deceived by this clueless bunch. Change is imminent n certain. Linda I hail thee.
Useless apc candidates! U guys main focus is to bring down pdp! Show us what u have to offer rather down continuously pointing te faults of the other party! Have u ever heard Jonathan say anything negative about an APC candidate? No! So why attack him all the time ? Smh GEJ till Nigeria wins World Cup!
Osibajo do you have to always insult like Amechi?
Jonathan never insulted Buhari not to talk of you yet you keep insulting a president, mgbo what do you preach????
I am totally disappointed in your mannerism.
By their fruit we shall know them.
Good statement from the president, he is yet to be proven wrong
Not all those who call me Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom of God!
Osinbajo keep disgracing your self!
Corruption is worst than stealing,it also includes criminal breach of trust.I wonder the kind of electorate that would want to vote this man again,wears a cap without a head.
Is this guy a born again?
is Osibanjo saying that the CJN is brainless stealing wasn't mentioned here corruption mostly involves bribery, we should teach thieves as thieves in power or not in power that's what the president was trying to say.
Osibanjo corruption is not stealing ooo, what you have defined can be done by a highly influential man who has his own money and has worked for it, he can choose to use his money to manipulate anyone so as to manipulate things to be done in his own way esp if he isnt innocent. stealing on the other hand is taking what does not belong to you and unknown by the real owner, in the case of our leaders it is taking what doesnt belong to you and we know this but we expect one person to protect us from this thieves. but a thief can also be involved in corruption or not. Anyways i still prefer Goodluck as i dont have any other choice and i know better than believing a yoruba man as an igbo girl. they will always stab you at the back. GEJ 2015
Am totally confused.
Na dem sabi oooooooo.make election do cum nd go.
Auntylindagoddaughter
Spot On ! whether its stealing , Bribery , nepotism , or down right neglect of work function, it is corruption. It is sooooo disappointing that semantics (as clearly called out by @adesua and our president's inability to appreciate its full meaning)has highlighted how much of a simpleton's Mind the No1 citizen of this country possesses. I say with all sense of humility that GEJ is NOT a bad person, However but GEJ lacks the basic Intelligence required for the office of a LGA-Chairman let alone Govern a complex entity such as our Country Nigeria. That said Nigerians, i besiege you,Please Please put this Man out of his misery and send him out of ASO ROCK. The embarrassment and Cost of having such a Man as president is too much for 170+ million of Us. @Naija... Save Nigeria...Do the Right thing !
i hate this osibanjo, like he and buhari will do better when those surrounding thèm are all thieves
This one too don dey see himself as VP. Even come get mouth to talk to GEJ
I was not satisfied with his answer too, and he wasted too much time on it
true talk!
That is your opinion sir
See the stupid explanation a whole professor and president of FRON gave to the stupid statement he made "stealing is not corruption". So I also have the right to say "Raping is not corruption, let a rapist(afipabanilo in yoruba) be called a rapist and be punished like one, the word corruption we have abused it......... The money this man is stealing has made him blind, daft and stupid, see the way he's embracing corruption... GEJ must go, we want change..

Looool proffesor

Corruption is stealin mt pres
Jonathan is a failure and has turned Nigeria into a laughing stock. We honestly deserve better than this.
Oga professor go to class room and impart knowledge on citizen and let president be.
Prof Osibanjo should learn from GEJ. He refused to make any statement on his opposition even when pressed by journalists. Thats maturity and a pastor should do the same. Preach ur so called message of change and stop taking cheap shots at GEJ
The GEJ presidency has failed Nigerians dats true to an extent, but wat makes Osinbajo thinks Buhari will nt fail Nigerians?
When him wife sef na stack illiterate and olodo rapata. How would he know if stealing is corruption or not. Hisss
Pastor pls shut the fuck up
You talk more than market women
Who ever made u a pastor for humanity sake????
Did the dictionary make stealing a synonym of corruption????
Old fool
Corruption is aka stealing........taking something that does not belongs to u....
Gej talks like someone with low IQ...I wonder how he graduated from school!! Gej s an example.of corruption...why will he say it's different. Stealing is bn corrupt and corruption is stealing govt money then you are corrupt. Gej should shut up
those in power not in power even u olebanjo oyoshibanjo is corrupt go pastor your church fake man of God
For the first time, I will agree with Mr. President, although partially. Stealing and corruption are two different words, but they are interwoven. How? It is a thief that commits both offences. A person that steals (takes what does not belong to him/her) is a thief and a person that is corrupt (usually embezzling public funds) is also a thief. Thank you for your understanding.
Mr Prof. if you comfortably worked under Isiwaju for eight years without even raising a finger against any of his corrupt actions, then I vehemently doubt your pastoral calling.
What point did you just make now against GEJ's explaination? Abeg get a life. same of the same.
Osinbade or Osinbajo should go and sit down jor, He will never be vice president in this country that is for sure.
Osinbanjo pls tell us wat u will do for Naija and stop fighting every word d president says......gush. This guy's are just to defensive and violent. Its a not a do or die.... Abegi.......
Osibanjo, differentiate or compare lets see how you'll relate the two.
lmao....our president is just confused and tried to justify himself jare
#GMB15
Jonathan has truly failed! He should pack his load sharply... His village is calling him
He is d CinC of corrupt peeps so what do you expect!!!!
stealing is not corruption.... but as long as it is done in high places. O Lord help us in Naija!
He is d CinC of corrupt peeps association so what do you expect!!!
GEJ is confused and as usual clueless.
Oga prof, calm down! No sho yasef 4 here! I watched d media chat live. GEJ's position was clear. GEJ simply meant corruption is far more encompassing than stealing on the one hand, and on the other hand simply describing stealing in d guise of corruption would not actually bring out the enormity of the stealing-act in d contemporary traditional mode of thought in Nigeria. In other words, though stealing is corruption, it's however only a pinch of it, n limiting corruption to stealing misses d mark! A thief should b called a thief, it sounds more criminal, it makes more sense! Simple! GEJ al d way!
He dat is campaign is sponsored by corrupt men,,,Tinubu and amaechi
Mshewwww!
"Dishonest or fraudulent conduct" - If u 'steal' public funds that's a "dishonest & fraudulent" act. So of course stealing(public funds) is a corrupt practice! What is so difficult for this President to understand?????
When a Pastor starts judging another man, he becomes an unbeliever. As a pastor u should know what d Bible says abt judging now. Osibanjo I bet u can't do better if given d opportunity.
Corruption is what is driving you into politics sir , U r mend to serve almighty God not the nation .....go back to church sir leave policies it's a dirty game
THIS IMBECILE OF A FOOLISH MAN SHLD GO AND SIT DOWN. MUMU THAT GMB WILL BE REMOTING AROUND AND ALLLLLL.
Osibanjo is a complete fool, 1st of all of what contribution has he to d nation development b4 now, a prof n don't know what is corruption, his G.O adeboye came out to say he never gave him out to tinubu or apc to run as vc for gmb, what is dat? Corruption of d highest order, dis obeying him spiritual father, Jega coming out to tell nigerians inec is 100% ready n at later date he was only 35% ready. Dat is corruption but not a thief, paying a lecturer to block a course? D student is corrupt n d lecturer is corrupt, in all osibanjo is corrupt as well as buhari who was anti democracy. Intact Gej is d only one good bad man for d seat.
these men are just hating on GEJ for no reason,the president made it clear,his explanation was simple and coherent,why these men making issue out of nothing,so they don't know that forging certificate is also corruption.
This prof is beginning to tlk like a tout politician. Pls sir go n tk care of d flock God put in ur house bc thats enough biz other than pursuing corrupt power. SMH for Nigerian politics
Are you a Nigerian? Can't you see the game Mr President and the ruling party are playing? The number of people killed, number of soldiers killed, number of people that are displaced, missing funds, attacking anyone that opposes his policies, what happened to the promises he made concerning electricity? You should ask God for forgiveness. Can't you see number of private jets that are owned by individuals in Nigeria? Have you forgotten long ASUU strike? Have you forgotten strike by the medical doctors? Numbers of soldiers subjected to mutiny? The rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. President Jonathan has been called out on media and social platforms more than any other previous president or head of states in Nigeria. What he couldn't achieve in 5 years is something he want to achieve in 6 weeks. He pardoned former governor of his state after embezzling government funds, he gave free access to Militants in his niger delta area to buy warships. Let me remind you that it's only the poor that are suffering and with the situation on ground people just want a change...Buhari or no Buhari' we are tired of Jonathan and his cohorts, why does he want to rule us when people don't want him? Sanusi exposed the missing 20 billion dollars issue and he was sacked. GEJ has made an history and Nigerians won't forget him. Once the poor get crazy and start killing the rich people then we'll see how any of them want to rule the masses, it happened in Ghana. You better be focused so you don't sell your future.
well have never believed stuffs like this,but a colleague said its true. Please click the link below and enjoy.

Oga Sinbajo... Your dictionary didn't define Stealing? Ofcos the 2 have different meanings, You claim to be a Professor but you can't give clear distinction between Corruption and stealing, rubbing your intellectual with dirty politics.

Good prof, but direct your arguments against chief justice Mustapher, who made the statement, you are both lawyers. I myself, began to wonder why the public reacts differents to both names, being thief or "ole" could get you lynched instantly, that is what most of are politicians are, they know it, they preferred to be called corrupt istead, why?
osibanjo is a professor as he is said to be nd he could nt even get any meaning out of wat president goodluck said there ar punishmebt meant for a theif nd like wise a murder u kant call a theif a murder bcos u assume that he has killed sum 1 before but av nt been caught in d act so we should communicate wit d right language

He has no leg to stand on, yet, he's bleeding throwing mud, just to be in the news, remember or seem relevant. Scumbag.
Pa Buhari's e-rats & APC's children of perdition need to calm down. If Buhari can turn water into wine & walk on water, he should first solve the ignorance & illiteracy problem which reigns supreme in their party, APC.
Buhari claims he wants to solve Nigeria's "problem," yet he couldn't solve his secondary school problem, hence he forged his secondary school certificate. In this day and age, its an insult for an illiterate and scammer to want to be President of Nigeria. Buhari is a dreamer. Buhari is a shameless man. We will have a credible election. PDP will have a landslide victory. If Buhari start making noise or trouble, he should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. PDP's goal is for a better Nigeria.

I watched the interview. I felt sorry for Nigeria... I saw a man even in lies, he is not smart. No straight answer to all question asked. Adesuwa was helping him to answer some question, she even predicted GEJ to win. What a product of bad influence!
pastor,you have to trend gently .my bible say judge not so you may not be judge. APC is taking this politics to another level make Una no scatter Niger for us.
Even @dat pastor osinbajo you no longer preach peace but instead propaganda and hatred.Why Repent,What will be will be. God knows the person to rule .
And is you that will make Nigeria a better place . Smh. I Blv in God to do something as he has richly bless us .
Did you say Osibanjo is a pastor... Shame. the bible tells me never to disrespect my leader... saying my leader is a failure is an act of disrespect. #mytwokobo
Dats my VP. Mr Jona ur village is calling you!
Foolish old men! So the problem is now about the definition of corruption??
Well, they forgot to list the synonyms of corruption. Lemme help: the synonyms include; Rot, Fastering, Putrefaction, Putrescence, Spoilage, Decay, etc etc.....
Someone should please help us with the antonyms.
Fresh nonsense like this!
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
Lwkmd....smh it's just amazing people vote on grounds of "oh he comes from my side, north , south, Jupiter, mars...." And not on grounds on what really matters....lmao...GEJ is a freaking joke and so is every other politicians in Nigeria, and until we start taking elections seriously and people with heads on their shoulders start running for presidency, I will never EVER vote. They are all the same.

PDP will have a landslide victory. If Buhari start making noise or trouble, he should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. PDP's goal is for a better Nigeria. APC and their leaders should be condemned for fooling Nigerians and heating up the polity. #GEJ2015 #Gej4Naija #GEJTill2019
Mr Osibanjo you are also a corrupt man, because all the money your party has been is from a corrupt source. Tinubu the godfather of corruption and other corrupt APC members have been sponsoring your campaigns, but you see nothing wrong with that. I still find it hard to believe you are a Pastor, but if you are it means you have sold your spirituality because of your new selfish political ambition.
and d movie continue #xavier9jaforLib
Gej has failed us
Hello professor, too much of book sometimes makes head to blow off. I agree with president jonathan analysis of corruption. Wat exactly are u saying?
Call a space a space. Public office holder that stole public funds are thieves"
According to online dictionary,
corruption
Corruption is dishonest actions that destroys people's trust in the person or group, like the news of corruption in how your bank is run, that makes you close your account and invest your money somewhere else.
The noun corruption comes from Latin — com, or "with, together," and rumpere, meaning "to break." Corruption breaks your trustworthiness, your good reputation with others, like the news of corruption in the mayor's office that shocked everyone. When you corrupt something that is pure or honest, you take away those qualities. That's why "corruption of minors" is a serious offense in our legal system.

Hmmm, political brauhaha....
If stealing is not corruption, how re u going to fight corruption u where talking about some weeks ago? Say #GEJ and PDP must go#. All Nigerians Can't you see the game Mr President and the ruling party are playing? The number of people killed, number of soldiers killed, number of people that are displaced, missing funds, attacking anyone that opposes his policies, what happened to the promises he made concerning electricity? You should ask God for forgiveness. Can't you see number of private jets that are owned by individuals in Nigeria? Have you forgotten long ASUU strike? Have you forgotten strike by the medical doctors? Numbers of soldiers subjected to mutiny? The rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. President Jonathan has been called out on media and social platforms more than any other previous president or head of states in Nigeria. What he couldn't achieve in 5 years is something he want to achieve in 6 weeks. He pardoned former governor of his state after embezzling government funds, he gave free access to Militants in his niger delta area to buy warships. Let me remind you that it's only the poor that are suffering and with the situation on ground people just want a change...Buhari or no Buhari' we are tired of Jonathan and his cohorts, why does he want to rule us when people don't want him? Sanusi exposed the missing 20 billion dollars issue and he was sacked. GEJ has made an history and Nigerians won't forget him. Once the poor get crazy and start killing the rich people then we'll see how any of them want to rule the masses, it happened in Ghana. You better be focused so you don't sell your future.
YOU SEE WHY WE WANT EDUCATED PEOPLE IN POWER. GEJ EVEN MADE IT MORE CLEAR. STEALING IS WORSE THAN CORRUPTION. IT IS A MORE SERIOUS OFFENCE YET PEOPLE ARE SHOUTING THAT HE SAID CORRUPTION IS STEALING. WHICH IS WORSE, CORRUPTION OR STEALING? OBVIOUSLY STEALING. AGAIN, LOOK AT OSIBANJU BECAUSE OF POLITICS CONFUSING THE UNWISE.

Trying to correct his obvious gaffe. Sadly, he is not still getting away with it. Like many pple wud say, Jonathan is always misguided. But the question remains, why does Jonathan also attract misleading fellows all around him?
The fact remains as always has and dat is simply cos "like attracts like". Jonathan his corrupt. The only thing he has going for him is that he "looks" innocent.
But experience has thot me that look does not always define a person. He is plain corrupt!

This man shud shut his dirty mouth. Wonder how he became prof self. Professors I know lld not give such stupid explanations. Dummy
Words of a reputable lawyer. Thumbs up.
Linda gej is only deceiving himself corruption is corruption weather na stealing or not. u pick pocket you are corrupt you thief u are corrupt u steal ur friend husband like all these nollywood gals u are courrupt the person confused here is gej, the word Corrupt literally means a tainted eroded substance be it individual inanimate or animate so corruption is corruption period jona should stop deceiving himself
Go n sit down!!!! See ds monkey kettle calling pot black
He should rest joor. How exactly has GEJ failed .
Apc corrupt pdp corrupt... Tired of all these lies, pretence etc etc.. Nigerians let's be single for a while b4 going into anoda rlship with APC am tired of. All the heartaches
can someone tell this hypocrite osibajo or osiowu to let GEJ be. GEJ defined corruption the way he understands it and every one is entitled to his or her opinion. What is Osibajo's problem? stop deceiving Nigerians, you are the worst.
Sometimes it just sad, so sad when you see people still reacting the way the professor is.
The professor should return to where is voice made more sense and meaning. can you call someone who received a bribe a thief?
Food for thought.
HOW DARE YOU DOCTOR/COVER HIS POST
LINDAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
#APC!!!!SHAME!!!
From osibanjos description of corruption(meaning taking bribe).it therefore means the only person caught in corruption in nigeria with proof is an APC member by name FAROUK LAWAN!!!
In as much as the comment was controvasial, i think GEJ clarified in the simplest manner as a thief is a thief and that made a lot of sense, just dont see any reason mr prof will condemn a facyual thought like that
OSINBANJU, IT SHOWS YOUR ARE CORRUPT BY TRYING TO DEFEND FALSEHOOD. CORRUPTION IS NOT STEALING. STEALING IS WORSE THAN CORRUPTION. GEJ IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. HONESTLY, APC WILL BE VERY CORRUPT AND ALSO STEAL MORE THAN PDP. THEY WILL BE SYEALING AND SHOUTING MORE THAN THIEF, LIKE THEIR ASSOCIATEL, FMR CBN GOVERNOR, BUHARIS BOSS, ABACHA, AMAECHI, BUKOLA SARIKI, TINUBU.
The professor's comment summaries what is wrong with Nigerian lawyers and the bunch of "thieves" called APC. The president's statement was clear- a corrupt person should rather be called a thief and threated as such!!! Corruption is too mild to be used to label these people action. Maybe Osinbanjo is trying to indirectly defend Thiefnubu!
Mr or mrs kemikal corruption is corruption there is no two ways to it.
GEJ is just on hell of a confused n brainless dudu, stealing is nt corruption it is stealing #FOOL
I once went to a govt institution to get a document. The staff I meant there asked for money to do what should be free. I go irritatated and angry and called the man what he truly is - a thief- and demanded explanation for the money he was requesting. Unfortunately for him, it was an open office, so everyone heard my outburst and rantings. The man backtracked and did the proper thing. I believe Mr president is very correct - call a thief a thief and stop giving fancy names "corruption" to attempt to justify stealing. Mr osinbajo comment exemplified the problem with Nigerians and the problem of Nigerians: failure to call a spade a spade. His attempt to define corruption as something other than stealing is stupid. Maybe this politics has taken away his sense of decency and reality.
Osinbanjo is trying to indirectly defend his principal - thiefnubu!!!
LWKMD!!! "Trying to defend thiefnubu"
PDP ARE PICKING POCKETERS BUT APC WILL BE LOOTERS. OUR NIGERIAN MONEY WILL NOT BE ENOUGH FOR TINUBU, AMAECHI, BURKOLA SARIKI, GOJE. THESE PEOPLE THEIR MOUTH DON WIDE. AGAIN, TINUBU WANTS TO BE THE RICHEST AFRICAN HE IS ABGRY WHY IT SHOULD BE DANGOTE. NIGERIANS OPEN YOUR EYES.
IMAGINE HOW THEY ARE CHALLENGING A SEATING PRESIDENT, HONESTLY, IF YOU GIVE THIS PEOPLE FEDERAL POWER WE ALL BE WILL BE SLAVES. WHO WILL CHALLENGE THEM? IF YOU DO THEY WILL KILL YOU. NIGERIAGS THIS IS A GRAND DESIGN TO SELL US TO SLAVERY. LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN LAGOS, AND KWARA. NIGERIANS OPEN YOUR MIND, THINK. THINK.
So help u God..rotfl
Osibanjo SHUT UP!!!!!
What are you talking about?
So now you agree that stealing is not corruption?
THe offence os corruption carries lighter sentence than stealing oh. FYI
And a zoologist bak to zoo not aso rock
@ kemikal, u re a gab, do u no who u re insulting? In fact all what I see about ur writing is craps, and I see u as born throwway fellow, no moral background. Nothing nothing to show, just as GEJ re for more than 6years now nothing to show as president. All what he do is to encourage corruption to grow in Nigeria. And i understand the reason why people like you are posting responses that support this present administration. You must be from the south south or eastern part of the country, you have to understand that this isn't about tribe, our situation has deteriorated to a level where we have more than 3 million people displaced and more than 10,000 people killed in 2014, level of poverty has increased according to world bank, Chibok girls are still missing, we lost soldiers to this insurgency and this terrorism is something the government has not been able to conquer for 5 years but in 6 weeks he wants to wipe them off, he pardoned DSP despite huge amount of money that man stole, he sacked Sanusi for exposing lost funds, ex militants buying warships with federal government, can you say electricity supply is great? Do you know rate of mortality in Nigeria? People still drink sachet water because we lack good water supply, see the way he's been using our security agencies to tackle anyone that criticizes his administration, what about the cash that was seized in South Africa? Are you saying things have improved in the country since he removed fuel subsidy? People in his administration using private jets, some even have more than one plane, do we have good roads? You remember the immigration recruitment exercise, how many people died during the exercise? I am a Nigerian, I don't need your forgiveness because there was no sin committed against you with what I wrote earlier. I wouldn't support anyone calling my president a badluck but the situation in Nigeria right now can be referred to as bad luck. So what has he done? Universities, polytechnics and medical doctors went on strike for a long period of time, is that a development? We really need a change, I would not mind someone else from the PDP but not GEJ. You see the manner at which the First Lady ridiculed herself in front of the whole world, attacking anyone that does not support his husband's administration. All our security agencies have been compromised, listen to the tape which was recorded during the rigging of Ekiti state election, is Fayose the right person PDP suppose to use as their flag bearer? Despite his record, you see the way a court of law was attacked in Ekiti. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer, why postponing the election on security ground? He knew what has been going on in the northeastern part of the country so that's not an excuse. Don't sell the future of Nigeria, we need #chagne# is GMB and Osinbajo, we need as our president in Nigeria gbam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof, Pikin wey fail must REPEAT *inPatience'svoice*
Yeeepaaa! What a shameful and disgraceful president!!! SO now he's hiding behind a judge?!! Linda please stop talking about gej, he's not worth it!
Osinbajo at this rate i just pray that u still remember that you are a pastor...
Osinbajo at this rate i just pray that u still remember that you are a pastor...
Hinestly speaking, our president speaks like kindergarten pupils
smh - corruption is corruption; stealing is stealing they don't mean exact same thing and we know the difference. ...so-called PRESIDENTIAL press whatever had visual and audio qualities worse than a N10k phone, and the camera may have been bought for $1m, bought for N5k and invoiced for $1m; that's corruption, stealing is when you go to the market and steal a camera or steal money. WE NEED CHANGE, VOTE BUHARI.
I find your comments on this blog as waste of space, all your comments are based on sentiment, be honest for once in your miserable life, jobless idiot must u comment on every post! Your just pathetic!
sorry to say prof osinbajo ur so jobless from ur definition "corruption and Stealing" is different. pls leave GEJ alone and concentrate on ur campaign. Linda pls post my comment.

Uncle Jona lacks ideas now. I pity d poor man. #happythurs
We should let him be? Are you for real? We shouldn't hold people responsible for what they say or do because Christians are meant to look the other way. You better stop being religious & start being spiritual
Best answer!
U're a big fool. U better go back to primary school.
U're a big fool and may u continue to wallow in abject poverty. Dat's why ur life is static. Brainless fool. All i know is March4Buhari
Sososososo love this comment 1million like
Your ENTIRE GENERATION and your present generation are dumb including d dumb people that gave birth to you cause of their dumb mistake!
Only you... recomposing your comment over and over and pasting like he is so much hated.. what is so beautiful in the past five years that turned you to such a failed GEJ government fanatic? Nigerians, a lot of us are selfish-brainwashed, because I'm sure this person in particular like me has nothing to gain directly from the present government.
She is right... You don't have to abuse her... They keep branding Buhari a religious fanatic, a dictator, Hausa and so on... And they ended programming your brain, your mind and your subconscious self to believe that while they are busy covering their looting... You are the dumb.
I don't need a govt that will ask of goods import certificate! Sometimes I feel ashamed whenever I see igbos(cluelessbusinessmen) speaking bad about jonathan's govt. #serious
Bros... I tired o... I read comments and i see people with nothing to gain from government still ready break dem neck for a failed government.. me i dey Yankee o.. But my heart beats naija.. it's painful, we are the problems, we the people, not just the government.
I doubt if this man is a pastor,sure he is Antichrist....#March4GEJ#SayNo2Febuhari
Who be GEJ? Your God? Free yourself from mental slavery... Nigeria is a failed state, get it right.. stop supporting a failed government, mind you, I matched the street of Lagos with feminism falana, Wole soyinka for Jonathan to be sworn in as the acting president six years ago.. not because I'm a politician, but because i want a good Nigeria... I'm successful in my field, I need no one, but I'm human, this government has nothing more to offer nigeria other than continuous looting.
If this man was my pastor i will stop listening to him. Bible says pray for those in authority and not castigate them out of selfish ambitions. This man has failed his church.
