ma,
What is your point? Do you know of a Nigerian who has stolen from the Lebanon, as much as Chagoury has stolen from Nigeria over many years with the connivance of highly placed Nigerian public officials including Heads of State? Why is it difficult for you participate in a conversation in proper context? Do you know that the Lebanon has a
Nigerian who has done to that country, what Chagoury has done to Nigeria and got away with it?
Do you not see the evident contrast there is, in the leaders and people of both countries in their love and safe guarding of their countries' national interest? Why defend the indefensible to make a cheap point? Where is the good sense, merit, or valor, in doing it? I ask in wonder.

oa:Chagoury - or most Chagourys - are Nigerian, albeit Lebanese-Nigerian. Your properly-posed question should have been "Could a Nigerian-Lebanese have done to (the) Lebanon what Chagoury did to Nigeria and get away with it?", and the answer is "Possibly....after all, many Lebanese have gotten away with corruption in Lebanon."And there you have it.Bolaji Aluko--On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 2:43 AM, Anunoby, Ogugua <AnunobyO@lincolnu.edu> wrote:Chagoury could not have done to the Lebanon, what he did to Nigeria. Could a Nigerian have done to the Lebanon what Chagoury did to Nigeria and get away with it? That is the question.

Mr. Abacha is believed to have stolen $4 billion from public coffers, which is the focus of a long-running international recovery effort.

He paid a fine, and in 2010 the PBS program "Frontline" reported that his record was expunged. Mr. Chagoury's lawyer acknowledged that Mr. Chagoury had helped Mr. Abacha's sons open bank accounts at Credit Suisse."
