Sir Patrick,
Not only Nigeria and everywhere else today, but also in highest morality and justice Islam back then where we find the illustrious example of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari who is said to have been the first Islamic socialist ( so to speak ) banished to the desert by Caliph Uthman bin Affan because Abu Dharr protested that the Bayt al-Mal was being grossly mismanaged, nepotism etc. etc.
In that kind of situation you seldom hear the sycophants complaining. They see no evil, speak less of hearing about any evil being done by their oga and his people
