This is so DISGUSTING. Can you imagine what this heartless and common criminals in uniform did to Nigeria? GOD . this animals are inhuman and shameless. This loot is too much biko.

Nigeria is a big disgrace of a country! I wonder what would have happened had this mess continued into this administration at the same rate it was in the previous one.

And Goodluck Jonathan and Okonjo Iweala were just turning a blind eye yo all this. And those Idiots calling themselves Niger Delta Avengers blame Buhari for underdevelopment of the Niger Delta. And the Ohaneze Youths believe that OPC Youths should rise up to query Buhari why their Yoruba Sons are being harassed. Thank you Nigerian ethnic groups for supporting embezzlement and kleptomania.

These people r heartless...no wonder their kids spend money anyhow in Abuja...may God keep and protecr Buhari

When Buhari said he will flush the country,people thought he was joking.his hatred for corruption is well documented and knows no end. Military to civilians,politicians to private sector. Internet fraud to money laundering...all sorts will be investigated and charged to court.

I just hope along the line of these things.our economy pick up.more jobs,more infrastructures are built,more diversification for increase revenue,increase exports...increase reserve and all.

I really hope this admin tries their best cos that's at least what they can do.they are not God but they can make really meaningful contribution. God help them all

why has it been so hard to find a single ibo name amongst the looters?

Anonymous said...

Please be very sure of what you post. Amongst this three names mention only 1 was a chief of air staff as others where just senior officers holding other posts . Which also means that the entire story might as well just be faulty.

How one wishes PMB can do what Jerry Rawlings of Ghana did to these thieves of our public treasury. Nawa 4 black man. The shame of a nation @ some of the highest levels of power. What do these fat cats want the average Naija to do or survive when for many, survival @ subsistence level is not even guaranteed? Yet, these looters with their enormous salaries, perks and estacodes remain insatiable.
