ON THE LIST OF RECOVERED LOOTED FUNDS

It was with delight that i welcomed the publishing of the list of recovered looted funds. I am particularly delighted because it was a much anticipated list. Some people had already started complaining when the list was taking too long in coming. But finally it's out.

The exclusion of names notwithstanding, it is laudable that our graft agencies are doing a nice recovery project backed up by this administration.

Maybe our president feels that it is a bit early to publish the names of looters as so many of the corruption cases are still inconclusive. But with the spirit of patriotism and trust in our leadership, let us at least laud the efforts they are making in fighting and eradicating corruption in our country.

Mr president, we wish you didn't have to come at a time like this when there is an economic downturn in oil producing economies. Maybe you would have been given a chance to prove your intentions for Nigerians. However we recognize the little effort you and your team are making. We wish you could be more proactive instead of reactive and that your speed could be faster.

We are however seating on patience's seat  waiting until we start reaping the fruits of giving you our mandate.

We hope to see in the near future convictions followed by names of these looters so that we would not only give corruption a bad name, we would also disgrace corruption.

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
