Every country have their corrupt folks; it's just that some do their stealing in a more professional way that makes it virtually impossible to trace their deeds; while others do theirs foolishly like there is no tomorrow, leaving numerous obvious traces.

They all do it but Afirican presidents etc do it blindly, if you catch my drift.

The issue here is, even if u are the president, u are accountable for every action u make. They want to know how u paid for isomething..they know ur salary masef..so if u are doing something, best believe u will be caught and u will pay the price which is not the case with naija. Even if u carry sign for head in nigeria proclaiming u are a theif, u wud steal be free to roam the country.

good behaviour should not be based on the FEAR of Ribadu but on the LAW that makes corruption a very serious offence and unacceptable. now the politicians are laying low because they only consider Ribadu as an aberation that will soon pass.In fairness though,the politicians are the products of the society from wich they came and until that society view corruption with disdain nothing changes.

Corruption is corruption, regardless of what's going on in your while you doing it. Naija system "was" open to corruption, because it always end at just talking about it, but American corruption has to be done in secrecy because the system will not allowed it; that's the only difference there. What they both doing/did is wrong, and that's what' important.
