Do you believe politicians embezzle the government money

[Berry2d]

What is evidently clear, na wetin you d ask. Do you need a seer to make believe sae our politicians d eat the masses money more than they should. Look at the level of poverty, unemployment rate wey d for country upon sae wey d among the top oil producing country, we are still known as the third world country that her people are suffering.

Nevertheless, I just d surprised sae a Nigerian d ask this question of what is known in the country where its politicians are known to be embezzling the country money like sae its fathers own

In the case of Nigeria is dont need a seer to tell me that our resource and money meant for the development of the country have been stolen by our corrupt and self centred political representatives whose main concern is just how to enrich there pockets and never remember why they where elected into offices. How much do you think is the salary of Nigeria senators,  Governors, local government chairman and so on that after leaving office they turn to billionaire overnight  and even do things business men like Dangote most think twice before doing. The leadership system in Nigeria is not centred on accountability or even transpiracy but on constant stealing and high rate of corruption that is why Nigeria finds it difficult to grow the way other countries are doing.

See my brothers even a small living baby can tell the country development funds already been stolen by the government the truth is that this habit has really be came an ways of life of an Africa man so if this happens out side Nigeria where a government is been caught stealing public funds i feel it already in our blood well even if 70% of people in Nigeria have the same intentions, and the funny parts of it is that they are even happy saying it.only God in heaven would help this country called Nigeria and even other small small offices are such interesting to move public funds well I called that power drum’s

This is a very interesting topic but let me start by saying ; seeing is believing . Whatsoever you can’t see you can’t judge . Thou your instincts maybe right but do conclude by saying all the politicians embezzle the government money . Moreover even tho they embezzle the money you should have thought about the palliative you collected before voting them into power . Politics is trade by batter , give me and give you .
But if you have a second thoughts about this , do you think we still have faithful ones ?

Quote your own views below ;
Let keep it coming

How can you think In such manner mate, how can the palliative given to the masses before voting them into power be a criteria to justify the masses. There is nothing like trade by batter in the political system, no one Force those men to give palliative to the masses. They give those things out of their own magnanimity and not for any exchange for vote. Though people sell their vote because of money, but the truth is that those vote you think they paid you for doesn't count because if vote counts most people will still pay money and fail. I have encountered many people who took money from this greedy politicians and vote for another person but yet they still do it their own way and win afterall. If you could remember the presidential election between Peter Obi, Atiku and tinubu, you will understand that your vote don't count despite what is given to you to make you believe that your vote counts. Your vote don't count in thks country.

And secondly we have faithful politicians, but they are few, and this few face a lot of backlash from their fellow counterpart simply because they go against their agenda. %98 politicians are not faithful because the mentality of people is that once they enter power they will also shear the national cake because they don't know when such opportunity will come again. So hardly you see a faithful one. And even if you are faithful and you enter a position you will be tempted to embessle or you lead without anything.

, do you think we still have faithful ones ?

Faithful politicians only exist when they are just coming in new into the system, and just in a very short space of time, they will be corrupt by their colleagues, friends and their Godfather's, since godfatherism is very popular in Nigeria.

Then talking about the title of this thread, if I believe that politicians are embezzling our money. If you believe that their are any of them that is not embezzling public funds, just know that you are still very naive, because how much is their take home salary for them to be living the expensive lifestyle they are flaunting?
Just make an estimate calculation of how much they are earning, then you will understand my sentiment.

I always feel the same way that all the politicians are corrupt. However, I think some of them still have conscience. If we compare some of the past administration with what we are seeing now . It is very obvious that they were more good and faithful to the people than what we are seeing now. Some of there policies if not all, reflect the peoples at heart but with what is happening now in Nigeria it appears the politicians now are more unfaithful.

It has gotten so bad that even the ones that are trying their best are still seen as bad, i understand how you feel dear but out of all the politicians in Nigeria, the only one I'm proud of is Gov Alex Otti, he's doing his best to serve the public and has transformed Abia State from a being the dirtiest state to a place anyone in the nation can relocate to.

He's provided good roads, electricity and even transformed the dirty Ariaria market into an ultra modern market with good road network,security amongst others. Alex has been very transparent and even refused to join other governors in the one party system the president is trying to implement. It is true that a good percentage of the politicians are corrupt but Alex Otti stands out and I'm proud of him, you can check his record to see for yourself.

Politicians most especially Nigerian politicians have been embezzling Nigerians money, because when you see the kind of property and investment that they have, you will understand that their salaries are not enough for them to have such properties investments and cars, have you asked yourself why politicians are not rated as among the richest men in the world, that is because the money they have isn’t there money is mostly money that is meant for development of their countries, they don’t use the money for development of their countries instead they prefer using the money for their personal business, Nigeria politicians have been stealing and embezzling the country’s money which is why mostly Nigeria and African isn’t developed, most especially the West-African, East African, Central African countries, and some of the South African countries aren’t developed because their leaders keep stealing and embezzling money meant for development of their respective countries.
