How do they steal money in Government?

The easier way is through procurement in collaboration with NASS. At states there is no NASS, the HoA is pocketed by the governor, and many states have no Bureau of Public Procurement as established by Obasanjo that curbed stealing at the Federal. Curbed and not eliminated. Any government that wants to be transparent establishes a procurement system that is auditable and can be scrutinised by the public. NASS is discouraged from budget padding as there will be no way they get kick back by nominating a friend to go the DG or PS for the contracts that are highly inflated to cater for them.

Another way to steal is direct from the collection point by nominating agents to collect tax and other revenues and then keep a certain percentage as cost of collection. There is a 4% built into collecting government agencies as an incentive to improve performance. This is different because the governors or Presidents use private companies to do this. Much harder to prove stealing in these cases.

The other way that they steal is to fix government money in banks and negotiate rates lower that what a competitive process would give the state or agency. Again hard to prove corruption and relied upon by leaders with less imagination.

The fourth and most complex is stealing directly from the tap through undeclared income and creating accounts to move the funds into. When government does audits, they usually discover accounts they do not know exist.

There was the Abacha style where it was straight from government coffers into international banks not going through any audit process or system.

A weak NASS, or compromised HoA with compromised people as speakers and co make it very easy for theft of our resources. Ask yourself, how many states have set up an auditable procurement process? They will not and do not in most cases. A few like Kaduna and co did under Nasir El Rufai.

It takes more than one person to loot state resources. Just so you know!

The things we love doing.

For us and for them it is all politics

Many of us deep down do not care about the abducted students and teachers. Same as was with Chibok. The abducted are not stars or children or wives of the elite. They are just our regular Joes. But it presents an opportunity for politics. For those that support Tinubu, deflecting the problem as a failure of Seyi, for those that do not support Tinubu, use it as a means to highlight one more reason why Tinubu must be voted out of office.

Neither the President nor the Governor has demonstrated leadership on this occasion. Both have been abysmally poor in communication, taking action, showing empathy or rescuing the abducted. Both have played politics with the matter as their supporters have done.

The buck for security stops on the table of the President. He is the CinC. The governor is the CSO of the state. Both should be on the same page coordinating for rescue. Both might have paused campaigns and politics to show some empathy for the families. Both should have been in Ogbomosho much earlier than they did. Both do not care as do most of our politicians.

If the ward of a big man were involved, Ogbomosho would be like the Arsenal parade. The FG would have sent a delegation the next day, Atiku, Obi and all of them would have rushed to the place to condole with the families. But they do not care. It is all politics for them.

Let's console on another by writing and cursing supporters of the incumbent or the opposition. It is the easiest thing to do.

I know you will come and tell us that your mercedes is bigger and better than that of your neighbours. Some of you might even revisit the Aburi accord on this matter. One day, Nigeria and Nigerians will experience true leadership. Save your campaign notes for another page please.

Thank you all for engaging with my post

Majekodunmi Fasheke, popularly known as Majek Fashek was a Nigerian singer-songwriter and guitarist.

His first album for the company included a cover version of Bob Marley 's "Redemption Song". He has recorded several albums for various labels since, including Rainmaker for Tuff Gong (1997) and Little Patience for Coral (2004).

Musical style Fashek's musical influences include Bob Marley – whom he resembles vocally – Jimi Hendrix, and Fela Kuti . He was one of the original Nigerian artists to be drawn to the music of the Caribbean, specifically reggae, rather than indigenous hybrids such as fuji , jùjú , but has been known to mix these genres into his own style which he calls kpangolo , and the song "My Guitar", an ode to his favourite instrument, was also heavily influenced by rock

Fashek played a supporting role in the 2000 Nollywood movie Mark of the Beast ,and starred in a commercial for non-alcoholic beverage Diamalt. He recently (2016) performed in a comedy show (with more than ten thousand audience in attendance) in Lagos, Nigeria, with a roundly power-filled and soul-lifting performance.

In December 2016 Fashek contributed the song "We Are Not Afraid" to a video featuring 200 celebrities to raise funds for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Human Rights Watch (HRW).

Fashek was married to Rita Fashek who inspired the song "Without You"; the couple had four children together, but have since divorced. In 2015, it was revealed that Fashek was bankrupt and battling drug addiction. After admitting that he needed help, he was admitted into a drug rehabilitation centre in Abuja,[20] but has since recovered, and returned to music.

Besides his struggle with drug addiction, other health conditions required his hospitalization on several occasions. He was rumored dead in September 2019 but his manager quelled the rumors, confirming that Majek had indeed been critically ill, hospitalized at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich, England, and in dire need of financial assistance.

Billionaire businessman and philanthropist Femi Otedola has pledged to cover all the singer's medical expenses.

He died on the 1st of June, 2020 at 57 in the United States, after battling an unknown illness. His death was confirmed by his manager Omenka Uzoma, on the late singer’s official Instagram handle.
