Operation Feed Corruption: Why Nigerian Public Servants And Politicians Prefer To Invest Overseas

By



In the 1970s, Nigeria first experienced her truamatic and perturbing economical crisis. This was around Alhaji Shehu Shagari's regime.



There have been attempts to mitigage the procreants of the economical crisis like unemployment and underemployment. Gowon introduced the Youth Service Corps and there was also the National Directorate of Employment (NDE). However, these were all short-termed. It isn't long-lasting.


The Reptillian belabour of the Human brain has caused our so-called honest public servants to embezzle the little income that our dear nation tries to make through taxes and what-have-you. Is this greed? Affirmative.


Guess what? Now the Administrative positions in the country has now offered these selfish truants the greater opportunity to reduce the nation's economic power and increase their own economic and political power.


Now, some of these "money-thiefs" who have (by whatever means) made the money which they can invest, prefer to do so overseas for fear that they might fall victims of the on-going primitive-accumulation, uncompleted projects, political instability, recession and inflation.


Why? They fear that investing their stolen money in Nigeria will surely fall into meticulous waste. (Pardon my metaphoric sarcasm)


So they stash away so much needed hard currencies for development purposes into foreign banks located in the advanced capitalist centres with insousiance. They term it being careful and foolproof or safeguarded against risks.


Now, because this act has been so rampant in society and past exposures have focused on the public sector, the public (Nigerians) now literally presumes everybody who has served or is serving in the state or federal apparatus, guilty, until he or she is proven innocent.
br/>
Hitherto, this is not a lie and will never be one. What these "money-thiefs" do behind our backs feeds corruption. Greed, selfishness, short-sightedness and cynicism.


But, if there is a way out to curb or ameliorate this perpetual quagmire were are in from exacerbating the more, why hasn't that door been opened?

How to steal someone’s data MB or GB through a code with just his or her number

By
This cheat only works using mtn sim... For example, you can't use airtel or glo sim to do this trick; but you can use mtn sim to potray this trick on any other sim. Supposing your victim uses any sim other than mtn, this trick will still work, as far as you are using mtn sim.. So it goes like this; dial this code: *88567*the victims number*the amount of data you want to collect*131# Note: If the individual doesn’t have upto that amount you tried collecting... It will not work you will surely get an invalid response. After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately... After that remove your sim and put it back. Then check your data... Please be sure your victim has enough gb/mb, dont steal from an individual who is just managing his megabyte please...
