I hope those of you who think corruption is only an African language understand that this is actually a deliberate system designed by Oyibo. Because they know exactly the source of the wealth people are bringing into their economy. They will turn blind eye when absorbing them, but as soon the traffic is reversed, they will remember every screening process in their books.

People who deliberately make their place save heaven for proceeds of corruption are worse than your corrupt African leaders. You can quote me anywhere.
