ReplyDeleteFor Jonathan to admit that his government is full of corruption,it shows he is better than other past presidents who will never admit at all.One thing is to admit it,another is to work hard to remove at least 80% of it.Can he do it?.obviously no from the way he work.
ReplyDeleteJonah, you're a weak, clueless and incomplete president. Looting is the only thing you and your minions know how to do best.
ReplyDeleteIf Death sentence is meted out on corrupt govt. officers as punishment and actually enforce it, maybe, just maybe they will think twice be engaging in corrupt practices.
