My dear friend,
You have projected your frustrations into my statement. Because we are archiving please analyse the Maybe that qualifies my statement. The Bible says when sinners are punished the righteous partake of their punishment.On 29 December 2015 at 12:34, Obododimma Oha <obodooha@gmail.com> wrote:
Interesting contribution, Ibukun. The underlying assumptions in your comment are worth pointing out:(1) The "suffering innocents" are not involved in the fight against corruption or do not cooperate with government in that regard;(2) a punitive action taken by government, which adversely affects their interests, is desirable;(3) the government does not already know "the real thieves" in question and(4) the hands of those in government are clean.But what is very important to me is the attitude suggested by your comment. We are writing and archiving ourselves and our lives in this forum, you know. It is also history.-- Obododimma.

overseas is not only because of this reduction of the number of

international money transfers, which some of us have been using to
send money to our children who are studying in other countries, have
also been suspended. Personally, I have explored other legitimate
alternatives of remitting money these few months without any success.
It's just so frustrating to live in Nigeria at this time! The
casualties of this "war" on corruption include innocent Nigerians who
are working hard and using legitimate earnings to improve their lot.
The real thieves go free.
