While many have automatically believed this allegation, unfortunately, there is no reason not to believe him, after all, this is not the first time that Nigerian lawmakers will be caught enshrined in the allegations of bribery. “In this case, it is quite unfortunate because it sort of exposes Nigerias weak system, whereby those who are supposed to make laws, i.e. lawmakers, are the ones who are also breaking the laws through bribery. As I mentioned earlier, while there is no concrete evidence to show that it really happens. You would find it difficult to find any Nigerian who would be able to defend Nigerian lawmakers due to a history of corruption. “The situation with the Binance executive was badly managed, from being arrested illegally, and detained illegally. It just goes on to show how shoddy the entire Nigerian system is, from the security apparatus to the executive. So, they’ve been caught pant down. Unfortunately, I do not see them being able to prove their innocence, especially with the long-standing knowledge that Nigerian lawmakers have engaged in bribery and corruption in the past.”Naira vs dollar: Reno Omokri tackles Binance
