Corruption in Buhari's Government.

Where in the Nigerian budget was (or is) a provision made for the "tradermoni" cash that the Buhari's government is giving out? I guess we all Nigerians need to apologize to General Ibrahim Babangida on the issue of corruption. In his time, the military president did not just go about "dashing" money to people in markets. Rather, he set up what he called a People's Bank...at least, for some accountability. In Buhari's case, there are no records of where the huge amounts of cash are coming from and, neither are there records of the beneficiaries of the millions of cash being doled out.

In the first place, it's grossly immoral for the Federal government to blatantly be buying votes from the poor folks while using cash for bait. And Buhari's idea of handing out cash to people so indiscriminately is similar to Anini's style. Anini was the notorious Nigerian armed robber that adopted the style of Robin Hood in his days. After robbing banks, he would throw large bundles of the stolen cash to the people along the way. Unless a legal or legitimate source of the "tradermoni" cash can be provided, we can only assume that it's from the nation's treasury. Therefore, that means President Buhari is so desperate for a second term that he has to adopt Anini's style.
