Citing the $1 billion EuroBond which wasoversubscribed as the beginning of goodthings to come, Ondoma said individualswho are sincere will acknowledge the investment in infrastructure that is now bringing improvement to roads and othercritical national assets.
"Unlike in the past when the money for these road contacts were usually shared and made to circulate round, the funds released are now actually going into getting the jobs done.
"If people are not getting slush funds passed down to them it means they haveto review their personal economic activities within the reality of an anti-corruption era.
"There have also been several social security programmes being implementedby the government to ensure that economically disadvantaged people are not left to weather the difficulties they are facing alone.
This has never happened before and it is something we should be objective enough to commend.
"He also said President Buhari’s anti-corruption fight has exposed big thieves among the populace.

He added that Nigerians have recently been inundated by stories, most of whichturned out to be fake news, about the health and well-being of President Buhari."$9.8 million was discovered in a safe at the house of a former Group Managing Director of NNPC, Andrew Yakubu, whichhe declared as gifts kept as housekeeping change.
A $37.5 million naira property belonging to Diezani Alison-Madueke was uncovered in Banana Island, Lagos. Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed revealed that $151 million was recovered in stolen funds. The list goes on,"he said.
"Dear compatriots, please tell me what economy can survive with this magnitude of theft and not undergo depression? By now one should even be worried if the Americans still have dollars left to spend given the way the kleptomaniacs in our country have hoarded the greenback in underground safes,"Ondoma added.
