Fear that is born of the certainty that when they abuse their powers they will be destroyed.
A certainty that when they take a bribe they will suffer Total Assets Forfeiture.

Our leaders don’t need integrity. It would be great if they had it, of course, but there just aren’t that many people in the world with integrity.
Some of us think we have it, but we may only have enough integrity for a life of poverty.
The good news is that we can still create a working government, and a successful society, even with the quality of people we have both in leadership - and in the corridors leading there.
All they need to have is Fear.

Of course the #OilSubsidy must go.
But can we invest the same energy into ending the #CorruptionSubsidy in our annual budgets, which costs trillions more, kills thousands, ruins millions and converts public servants into mercenaries?

Nigeria has over 11,000 abandoned government projects worth over N7Tr. Despite the enormous resources allocated to these projects, they have been abandoned, leaving behind half-built structures, idle machinery, and wasted resources.

Remember our Cameroon former minister who, although in detention, showed up during his corruption trial court drinking champagne?
Well, he was convicted yesterday to 30 years in prison. Now it's my turn to go and sip a little 🥂
The show of indifference towards corruption in Nigeria is what waters it.
When public and private individuals are not made to account for their actions, impunity reigns supreme.
Support #Bribecode now to eliminate corruption, so that Nigeria can grow!
