Video: Former Kenyan prime Minister, Ralia Odinga, uses Nigeria to crack corruption joke at a summit

Former Prime Minister of Kenya, Raila Odinga,  used Nigeria to crack a corruption joke at a summit in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital yesterday January 26th.

 

While speaking at the summit, Odinga narrated the story of how a Nigerian Minister of Public Works learnt corruption from his Malaysian counterpart some years back during a visit to the Asian country and then came back to improve on it.

 

Odinga in his joke implied that corrupt Nigerian government officials use 100% of public funds to build palatial mansions for themselves. 

Watch the video of him cracking the joke at the summit below

      Why won't Nigeria be a joke... When morons like you are screaming hell because of the suspension of CJN. Somebody wrote a petition, it was investigated that the CJN had several accounts and properties which he did not declare.. $3 million, millions of naira, N5 billion worth of property in Abuja... CJN did not deny the findings, he said he forgot to declare it. NJC wanted to suspend him, as chairman of the NJC, he adjourned indefinitely the sitting of the council. Mr. President suspends him, all of una are crying foul... Why won't Nigeria be a joke

      Funny you see it as a joke Yet you people want to break back the king of corruption

      Nigeria the capital of corruption. My uncle had to go to Nigeria to audit the Hilton in Nigeria. He was scared as f@#k when he landed. The guys picking him up from the airport came with armed personal for protection and he asked what that was for cause where he comes from there is no need for that. The Nigerians answered just for protection against kidnappers and ppl here talk about patriotism? Truth be told the crime and corruption is out of this world. We will have to travel to another planet to find a corruption free Nigeria. It's on your blood. The love of money for u ppl is too much. U can't.just build relationships where there is no money involved just plain humanity and a common ground

      He is right anyway. It was the same man who mocked Nigerians for voting a certificateless president, that we should not expect any thing economic growth or peace, 3 years ago, he said it clearly that Nigerians has failed blindly for their choice of president. Today, I knew he was right. Buhari is the most incompetent, nepotistic, insensitive, corrupt and incompetent president ever lived on Adrican soil. Shame Shame Shame!

    7. Anonymous

      Iam Reptiles fan, you spoke the truth. What Buhari is doing is for the good of Nigeria, especially the masses. It is for the greatest good of the greatest number. Listen to George Clarke SAN on Channels talking about corruption in the judiciary, about judges being bribed by politicians. Sickening. Those who condemn Buhari obviously stand to gain from judicial corruption. The Bible says in Proverbs 21, chapter 15: 'when justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous, but dismay to evildoers.' God bless Buhari.

      You are just plain stupid by all your comments. If Obasanjo gives back $16 billions back, what of all the money refunded by other foreign governments what has PMB used it for ? It’s obvious you don’t think before you talk. Yes OBj stole no doubt, what about PMB when he was Petroleum minister you think he never stole. Grow up this whole situation is like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves..

      Have you any evidence that PMB stole when he was Minister of Petroleum? People will always try to defame an upright man. It says in the Bible that a righteous man is an abomination to the wicked. If you think there is no smoke without fire, you'll be shocked one day by what you'll hear about yourself. Sometimes, people simply fabricate and spread the falsehood. To the one who alleged that PMB was elected with stolen funds, if that is true, I thank the Lord that Nigeria's money was used to install a saviour for Nigeria!

      You are requesting for 16 million from Obasanjo, what about the one stolen by buhari? Ode!

    Our leaders are shameless and corrupt. See how Nigeria has become a laughing stock. A country where the president travels for months to another country seeking medical care and he has no apologies or shame. Same thing the ministers, governors, etc do. A country that can't easily pay 30k to its civil servants but budgets billions to feed thieves in power. Buhari, Atiku and all the old generations have failed. We need new direction. Otherwise, everything remains the same.

    1. Anonymous

      Change to Nigerians obviously means doing the same thing over and over if not they will be determined to walk away from this government and the so called lesser evil. I have never seen anyone do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. We are not ready for a change actually cos if we are, nobody on this blog would support APC or PDP. They keep putting the younger ones contesting down saying they don't have experience managing or have been in governance before, the people you support and fight vigorously for that have managed and governed what have they given you? It's time we change our myopic mentality and join the revolution going on in the world. This nonsense won't ever bring us genuine change.

    I believe this is not just a joke because this is not the first time this man is saying this. It’s just the first time he actually mentioned NIGERIA. It’s a pity these are the kind of things we are well known for and the sad part of it is that we don’t even take it serious. We laugh all laugh about it or we will start condemning the man instead of facing reality. I bet subsequent comments will prove me right

    Buhari should earn a second term to see how far corruption would have been brought low in Nigeria. Allowing our brother who wants to make his friends richer to rule is suicidal. Nigeria with short memories, or how would they be thinking that it is Atiku that can come back to fix Nigeria. tribalism is when you are thinking because of Obi you will vote Atiku...do you ever imagine an Hausa man giving his vice a say especially an IBO man.

Babachir Lawal used 223 million to cut grass LoL, Kano State Governor caught on camera collecting bribe and your PMB said he does not know the type of technology used in the video.

    The level of corruption in the judiciary is such that there is no judge that is clean, all have gigantic skeletons in their cupboards; it just depends on which particular judge you want to destroy then all you have to do is to go and open the cupboard of that judge and boom he will fall yakata. This is the same tactic Obasanjo used for the politicians he brought down during his term as president. If Justice Walter Onnoghen's predecessors had also been investigated they would also have been found wanting, but they are safe because we are in an era of unbridled nepotism. Those who will vote this government for another four year term will seriously regret it when they see the type of nepotism that will be unleashed on the polity but it will be too late for them.
