Nigeria is “fantastically corrupt”, Buhari admits

***says he doesn't need apology from PM
Cameron
By Levinus Nwabughiogu
ABUJA-President Mohammadu has admitted
that his country, Nigeria "is fantastically
corrupt," giving credence to the words of
British Prime Minister, David Cameron who
shared such as a joke with Queen Elizabeth
11 before television cameras.
The president also stated that he would not
demand any apology from Camerom from
making the comment, saying that he was
more interested in the repatriation of stolen
assets by Nigerians stashed abroad including
the United Kingdom, saying "I need something
tangible".
Buhari is currently in London attending the
global anti-corruption summit hosted by
Cameron.
President Buhari made the admittance to Sky
News' Diplomatic Editor, Dominic Waghorn in
London.
In the 29 seconds chat minutes monitored by
our correspondent, Waghorn had pressed
president Buhari to know whether Nigeria
Nigeria was "fantastically corrupt",
surprisingly, the president admitted.
The chat went this way:
Sky news: Will you like an apology from the
prime minister?
Buhari: "No, no not at all"
Sky news: Are you embarrassed by what he
said?
Buhari: "No I'm not."
Sky news: Is Nigeria fantastically corrupt?
Buhari: "Yes"
But according the Correspondent, Senators
Chukwuka Utazi, chairman, senate committee
on anti-corruption and financial crimes and
Dino Melaye were not happy with Cameron's
comment on Nigeria.
For Utazi, "I am taken aback. I am not happy
about it," while for Melaye, it was "reckless"
and "demeaning".

Building collapses in Owerri

A building collapsed at the early hours of Sunday at about  3am  at Egbu road just opposite the police station at Fire Service in Owerri. According to reports about 6 people were rescued alive while about 4 people are feared dead. I have videos of were dead bodies are been pulled out. The governor came around to inspect the Collapsed Building and he directed that the old building beside it with a green roof should be demolished also because it's owned by same owner of the Collapsed Building since that same building has already been marked by OCDA as a building dat wud also collapsed soon. From what I saw, the materials used in constructing the building wasn't upto to standard. No chippings rather it was local stones that was used. It was also reported that the building was suppose to be 2 storey but was but out of Greed it was made 3 storey. My name is Kelly Bobor incase u want further information.
